본 연구는 IMO 선박평형수관리협약과 관련하여 선박평형수처리시스템(BWMS) 산업에 대한 한국의 산업경쟁력 현황과 향후 발전방향을 제언하기 위하여, BWMS 관련 무역데이터를 기반으로 현시비교우위지수와 무역특화지수로 비교·분석하였다. 친환경선박에 대한 국제적 관심이 확대됨에 따라 IMO는 선박기인 오염물질 해양배출과 관련된 논의 및 협정 체결이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 동 협약의 이행국가들은 BWMS 산업이 높은 시장진입 장벽과 선도 시장진입자의 시장점유율 확대를 위해 경쟁하고 있으며 BWMS는 친환경선박 분야의 주요산업으로서 각 국가는 기술개발 및 산업경쟁력확보를 위해 노력하고 있다. 한국은 2019년 10월 기준(BWM.2/Circ.34/Rev.8) 최종 승인 받은 BWMS 전체 45개 중 17개(약 38 %)를 차지하고 있다. 동 산업의 시장점유 현황을 파악하기 위하여 상품코드 HS842219, HS84212, HS89가 부여된 무역데이터를 기반으로 현시비교우위지수와 무역특화지수를 산출 및 비교한 결과, 한국은 전 세계 대상으로 BWMS 시장 점유가 비교우위이나 독일, 덴마크 등의 국가에 비해서는 상대적 열위인 것으로 분석되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 다수의 IMO 승인기술 건 수, 국내 승인기관 보유 등의 산업생태계가 조성되어 있어 향후 BWMS 시장 경쟁력이 강화될 가능성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Background: Backward walking exercise may offer some unique and potentially beneficial differences compared with forward walking exercise. There is still a lack of research on backward walking exercises and forward head posture. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of backward walking exercise on college students forward head posture in their 20s. Methods: Twenty-one subjects participated in the experiment. The subjects were those with a craniovertebral angle (CVA) of 55 degrees or less who understood the purpose and method of this study and voluntarily agreed. A camera capable of taking pictures of the lateral plane was installed at a distance of 1.5 meters before exercising. Pictures were taken before walking backward, and after walking for 15 minutes on the treadmill, the images were taken in the same way. The composition of the backward walking exercise was walking at a rate of 1.0 for 5 minutes, and the remaining 10 minutes were walking at a rate of 1.5. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare CVA and craniorotational angle (CRA) before and after exercise. Results: As a result of this study, there was a significant difference in CVA before and after exercise (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference in CRA before and after exercise (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The backward walking exercise and verbal command seems to have positively influenced the changes in CVA and CRA among college students in their 20s. It seems that studies to confirm balance or muscle activity as well as changes in forward head posture through the long-term intervention of the backward walking exercise should be conducted.

본 연구에서는 높은 항산화, 항염증, 피부 미백 및 멜라닌 생성억제 활성을 지닌 톱니모자반 추출물(학명 Sargassum serratifolium, ESS)의 저장 안정성을 향상시킬 목적으로 oil-in-water (O/W) 나노 에멀젼을 제조하였다. 톱 니모자반으로부터 추출되어 농축, 탈염 및 탈당 과정을 거친 ESS의 주성분은 지용성 성분으로 높은 항산화 활성 때문 에 산화가 쉽게 일어남으로써 기능성 화장품 소재로써의 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이전의 연구에서 확립된 PEG 400, 폴리옥실 캐스터오일 (EL) 및 Poloxamer 407의 농도를 적용하여 MES가 함유된 O/W 나노에멀젼을 제조하였다. 확립된 조건에서 제조된 나노에멀젼의 평균 크기는 16 ~ 22 nm로 나타났으며, 나노에멀젼은 항산화, NO 생성억제 능, 멜라닌생석억제능 alc MMP-1 생성억제능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 저장기간에 따른 이들 효능을 분석한 결과 5 사이클의 시간 변화에도 큰 차이가 없었으므로 장기간 저장에 따른 활성변화가 없음을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 우수한 미백 및 주름 개선 기능을 갖는 천연 유래 해초추출물 톱니모자반 추출물(학명 Sargassum serratifolium, MES)의 저장 안정성과 피부투과성을 향상시키는 목적으로 oil-in-water (O/W) 나노 에멀젼 구조를 적용하였으며 나노에멀젼에 대한 최적의 제조 조건을 연구하였다. 톱니모자반으로부터 추출되어 농축, 탈염 및 탈당 과정을 거친 MES의 주성분은 소수성의 활성성분으로 구성되어 있어 산화가 쉽게 일어나고 화장품 성분으로 사용하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 PEG 400, 폴리옥실 캐스터오일 (EL), Poloxamer 407 등 다양한 계면활성 제와 첨가제 성분을 사용하여 MES가 함유된 O/W 나노에멀젼을 제조하였다. 그 과정에서 사용된 구성성분의 배합순 서와 화학적 조성 비율이 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 연구하였다. 최적화된 조건에서 제조된 나노에멀젼의 평균 크기는 20 ~ 30 nm 범위로 나타났으며, 시간 변화에 따른 나노에멀젼의 멜라닌 합성 억제 효율 성능은 5 사이클의 시간 변화에도 큰 차이가 없었다. 이것은 나노에멀젼의 우수한 장기간 저장 안정성과 피부투과성을 시사한다.

The vascular origin diseases occurring in the oral and maxillofacial region can be divided into hemangiomas and vascular malformation. They are rare and early lesions are not easy to diagnosis, so they may be misdiagnosed as clinicians, or the method and timing of treatment may be inappropriate. For 10 years, from August 2005 to August 2015, we analyzed the clinical records, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of 23 patients with hemangioma or vascular malformation confirmed by clinical, histopathological or radiological examination of maxillofacial lesions at department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Pusan National University Hospital and Pusan National University Dental Hospital. Chief complants of patients were mainly swelling, mass, and spot-like lesion on various intraoral sites. Treatments were performed with excision, embolization, sclerotherapy, depending on each lesions condition. Arteriovenous malformation cases were more frequently recurred than other lesions. Prognosis of lesions were relatively good but close observation should be needed.

Winged scapular (WS) causes muscle imbalance with abnormal patterns when moving the arm. In particular, the over-activation of the upper trapezius (UT) and decrease in activity of the lower trapezius (LT) and serratus anterior (SA) produce abnormal scapulohumeral rhythm. Therefore, the SA requires special attention in all shoulder rehabilitation programs. In fact, many previous studies have been devoted to the SA muscle strength training needed for WS correction. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of shoulder girdle muscle and ratio according to the angle of shoulder abduction and external weight in supine position. Methods: Twenty three WS patients participated in this experiment. They performed scapular protraction exercise in supine position with the weights of 0 ㎏, 1 ㎏, 1.5 ㎏, and 2 ㎏ at shoulder abduction angles of 0˚, 30˚, 60˚, and 90˚. The angle and weight applications were randomized. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to collect the EMG data of the SA, pectoralis major (PM), and UT during the exercise. The ratio of PM/SA and UT/SA was confirmed. Two-way repeated analyses of variance were used to determine the statistical significance of SA, PM, and UT and the ratios of PM/SA and UT/SA. Results: There was a significant difference in SA according to angle (p<.05). Significant differences were also identified depending on the angle and weight (p<.05). The angle of abduction at 0˚, 30˚ and weight of 2 ㎏ showed the highest SA activity. However, there was no significant difference between PM and UT (p>.05). There was a significant difference between PM/SA and UT/SA in ratio of muscle activity according to angle (p<.05). Significant differences were found at PM/SA angles of 30˚, 60˚ and 90˚ (p<.05). For UT/SA, significant difference was only observed at 90˚ (p<.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, in order to strengthen the SA, it was found to be most effective to use 1 and 1.5 ㎏ weights with abduction angles of 0˚ and 30˚ at shoulder protraction in supine position.

Background: Improvement of the lumbo-pelvic stability can reduce the compensatory action of the erector spinae (ES) during prone hip extension (PHE). Furthermore, the application of abdominal drawing-in (ADI) maneuver increases the action of gluteus maximus (GM) and decreases the action of ES during PHE by improving the lumbo-pelvic stability. However, the post-ADI exercise effects on PHE, not the real-time application of ADI maneuver, has not been studied. Objects: This study is aimed at investigating the post-ADI exercise effects on the muscle activities of GM and ES during PHE. Methods: A total of 24 female adults participated in the study, and they were divided into two groups: Those with normal abdominal muscles (n1=12) and those with weak abdominal muscles (WA) (n2=12). Before the intervention, the subjects’ GM and ES muscle activities during PHE were measured. Subsequently, the two groups were asked to perform the ADI exercise for 10 minutes. After the ADI exercise, the GM and ES activities were equally measured during PHE. Results: The comparison result of the ES muscle activities before intervention shows a significant difference between the two groups (p<.05); the WA group showed higher muscle activities than the normal group. For the within-group comparison, the muscle activities of the ES in the WA group significantly decreased after the ADI exercise (p<.05). For the GM muscle activity, no significant difference was observed in all comparisons (p>.05). For the changes in muscle activities before and after the ADI exercise, a significant difference exists between the two groups only for the changes in ES activities (p<.05); WA group exhibits higher changes than the normal group. By contrast, no significant difference exists between the two groups for the changes in GM activities (p>.05). Conclusion: After the ADI exercise, the compensatory action of ES in the female adults with WC is implied to decrease during PHE.

We study the operation of a lunisolar calendar in Korea and its time data calculation method. The dates based on the lunisolar calendar have been conventionally used in Korea after the Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1896. With the Astronomy Act enacted in 2010, the lunisolar calendar is presently being used as an official calendar along with the Gregorian calendar. However, no institutionalized regulations have been provided on the time data calculation method by the lunisolar calendar. The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute very recently established the regulations on the lunisolar calendar operation in Korea. We introduce the regulations together with historical substances and analyze the time data calculated according to the regulations for 600 years from 1901 to 2500. From our study, we find that the value of ΔT (i.e., the difference between the terrestrial time and the universal time) is the most critical parameter causing uncertainty on the data. We also find that all new Moon days in the almanacs agree with our calculations since 1912. Meanwhile, we find that new Moon and winter solstice times are found to be very close to midnight in 38 and five cases, respectively. For instance, the new Moon time on January 14, 2097 is 0 h 0 min 8 s. In this case, deciding the first day (i.e., new moon day) in a lunar month is difficult because of the large uncertainty in the value of ΔT. Regarding with a lunar leap month, we find that the rules of inserting the leap month do not apply for 17 years. In conclusion, we believe that our findings are helpful in determining calendar days by using the lunisolar calendar.

To investigate the preference of food of the elderly for developing processed elderly food, this study was conducted from February 2014 to March 2014 by questionnaire including dietary behaviors, food preference, and frequency of food intake to 119 elderly (49 males and 70 female) who were more than 65 years old and living in Jeonju. Most subjects ate three meals regularly and most of the subjects’ favorite meal time was lunch. The duration time of one meal was 20 min (48.74%). The most preferred taste was delicate and sweet. The subject preferred cooked rice with multi-grains, kalguksu (hot noodle), and abalone porridge to other staple foods. Almost 50% of the subjects liked soybean paste soup and stew, and the ratio of elderly who liked Chinese cabbage kimchi was 72.3%. Preference for panfried foods leaned toward pan fried fish fillet and mung bean pancake. Most subjects preferred plant foods like vegetables, lettuce, and seaweeds. The elderly in Jeonju liked roasted pork, grilled yellow croaker, and stir-fried octopus. Cooked and seasoned vegetables (namul) were the most preferred type by the elderly. Preferences for dishes and food materials were not affected by sex and ages. Most subjects preferred eating out with Korean food. Preference for eating food was selected in grilled beef ribs, a pork cutlet, sushi·broiled eels, and Chinese noodles. Western Japanese and Chinese food were preferred by an elderly subject, who was male and who liked Japanese food more than female.
