Although monitoring of radon has been extensively implemented throughout South Korea, the risk assessment has been mainly limited to indoor environments such as schools, workplaces, and multi-use facilities, and evaluations have normally been performed separately. In this study, the differences in radon exposure according to two groups (< 1 and 1-6 years old) were evaluated considering various indoor and outdoor environments, timeactivity patterns, variations in radon concentrations, and dwelling type (single detached and apartment house) using Monte-Carlo simulation. The distribution and representative values of radon concentration by micro-environments were confirmed through the Anders-Darling test, and a uniform distribution was applied in case of uncertainty. The effective dose ranged from 1.81 ± 1.19 to 2.81 ± 3.02mSv/y. Comparing the levels recommended by EPA, WHO, and ICRP with the value of the 95th percentile of this study, it was found that the results for those dwelling in detached houses exceeded recommended levels. Infants that spend a lot of time in homes with relatively high levels of concentration of radon are assessed to be somewhat more vulnerable to radon exposure.

빌딩풍에 의한 시설물 및 인명 피해에 대한 우려가 커짐과 같이 건물 주위의 풍속 가속화로 인한 보행자 안정성 확보에 대한 우려도 커지고 있다. 풍환경은 도시의 과밀화와 건축물의 고층화를 통해서도 변화하지만, 기존의 노후화된 건축물의 재건축으로 인해 서도 변화한다. 풍환경의 변화로 인한 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 건물 설계 단계부터 풍환경 평가가 되어야 하며, 풍환경 평가 방법에는 풍동실험과 CFD를 이용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 저층 주거단지가 중고층 아파트단지로 재건축됨에 따라 발생할 수 있는 주 변 지역의 보행자 풍환경 변화를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 대상 지역의 풍속 및 풍향 특성을 분석하고, 전산유체역 학 해석기법을 이용하여 기존 단지와 재건축 단지로 발생하는 보행자 풍환경을 해석하고 비교 분석하였다. 결과를 이용하여 임계 보 행자 풍속을 초과하는 영역에 대한 공간 분포를 비교함으로써 재건축이 보행자 풍환경에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore nursing simulation training needs and the educational environment of instructors. Method: This study was conducted according to the inductive method of qualitative content analysis. An online focus group interview was conducted with six instructors with experience operating a nursing simulation. Data were collected in July 2021. Results: First, “nursing simulation practice operations” required simulation design elements, practical operations, and curriculum integration. Second, the “educational environment” showed a lack of human and physical resources, and there was a need for standard education reflecting the domestic nursing education environment. Third, for “instructor competencies”, the facilitator role, step-by-step education for strengthening instructor competencies, and cooperation with clinical experts were derived. Fourth, it was found that “learner competencies” should meet the nursing professionals’ needs; self-directed learning competency and unique human competency should also be strengthened. Conclusion: This study is meaningful because it seeks to understand the instructor’s needs for nursing simulation training and the educational environment. Moreover, it identifies considerations for instructor and learner competencies in the nursing simulation operator training programs.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a faculty development program for nursing simulation on perceived knowledge, confidence, and competence, and then evaluate its effects. Method: A one-group pretest–posttest design was used. The eight-hour program covered simulation education theory, scenario design and development, simulation design and operation using patient simulators and standardized patients, debriefing, curriculum integration, simulation evaluation, and faculty development. Thirty-eight participants completed a self-administered questionnaire. Data were collected in August 2021. The study used paired t-tests to analyze differences in perceived knowledge, confidence, and competence before and after the application of the program. Results: The participants were generally satisfied with this program. The results indicated that knowledge, confidence, and competence for nursing simulation significantly improved. Conclusion: The faculty development program positively affected simulation instructors’ knowledge, skill, and attitude. Therefore, this validated and standardized training program can be used for training simulation faculty members at universities and institutions. It can not only reduce the cost and effort required for faculty development at each university but also ultimately contribute to the spread of nursing simulation.

Purpose: This study aims to improve nursing students’ competency through evidence-based nursing simulation education. Simulations included blood transfusion care for cancer patients, pneumothorax post-op care, and blood pressure control for hypertension care. Moreover, the study investigated the effects of simulations on anxiety, self-confidence, and student satisfaction with the learning experience. Method: Participants completed a survey on student satisfaction, self-confidence, and anxiety. A prospective, one-group, pre- and post-test design of 135 fourth-grade nursing students was used. A simulation scenario was developed according to the design. It consisted of pre-briefing, practice, serial tests, and debriefing. A simulation of three scenarios comprised blood transfusion care for cancer patients, pneumothorax post-op care, and blood pressure control for hypertension care. Twenty hours of evidence-based nursing simulation practicum consisting of three scenarios dealing with major adult diseases was conducted. Result: Students showed significant improvements over time in self-confidence (t=4.67, p<.001), student satisfaction (t=3.94, p<.001), and anxiety (t=-4.63, p<.001) after the evidence-based nursing simulation. Conclusion: Simulation of evidence-based education may be a useful and effective learning strategy. Nursing educators can design evidence-based simulation programs to improve educational effectiveness.

Owing to its excellent nutritional value, eggs are among the most important components of the human diet. Gender and environmental factors, such as feed composition, may alter the nutritional profile and quality of eggs. Feed additives have recently been used to enhance the health and productivity of hens, which has resulted in the production of higher-quality eggs. The fungus Cordyceps militaris, a well-established source of traditional medicines, contains potential bioactive metabolites, which prompted us to examine the effects of C. militaris-supplemented diets on the quality of hens’ eggs. The hens of two species (Gallus gallus domesticus and Araucana) were fed with one of three different diets: a control diet and diets supplemented with 2% or 5% of C. militaris. Egg quality was determined by measuring the Haugh Unit, yolk color, and shell thickness. In addition, egg and shell densities together with the ratio of yolk to albumen were calculated. Eggshell thickness and yolk color were both enhanced by the addition of C. militaris, whereas Haugh Unit values were somewhat reduced. Egg size, eggshell weight, and yolk and albumen production were all enhanced by C. militaris supplementation. Notably, in hens fed the 2% C. militaris-supplemented diet, enhancement was more evident in the yolk than in the albumen. The overall quality of the egg yolk was enhanced when 2% C. militaris was added to the hens' diet, which led to increases in both yolk color and quantity. Eggshell thickness and weight were also higher among eggs laid by hens fed the supplemented diets. Although these effects differed depending on the chicken species, we established that, in general, C. militaris contributes to improving egg quality.

This study analyzed Tuber melanosporum, Tuber aestivum,and Tuber magnatum, specifically the content of β-glucan, amino acids, nucleic acid-related substances, vitamin C, and ergosterol. The β-glucan content was highest in T. magnatum (20.54%). The free amino acid content was highest in T. aestivum, with the major amino acids being cystine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid. The total amino acid content was the highest in T. magnatum, the primary amino acids being cystine, glutamic acid, and lysine. The content of nucleotide related compounds was the highest in T. magnatum (5.09 mg/100 g). The highest content of vitamin C (10.15 mg/100 g) and ergosterol (596.91 mg/100 g) was found in T. magnatum, which had the highest useful component content among the three truffles. Additional studies investigating the variation in useful components according to collection time and growth environment are needed.

This study aims to investigate the effect of drying temperatures on the quality characteristics and physicochemical properties of vegetables. Lettuce and napa cabbage were dried at 40, 50, and 60oC and analyzed for various quality indexes. Higher drying temperature induced the lower L* and higher a* and b* values of samples. Also, it resulted in lowering the rehydration ratio, pH, and total free amino acid content of dried vegetables. The outcome might be due to the damage to the internal structure of vegetables and the decomposition of free amino acids during thermal treatment. Higher drying temperatures led to higher soluble solid and total polyphenol contents due to the conversion of phenolic compounds from combined to free form during the drying process, which changed phenolic compounds from combined to free form. Consequently, samples dried at higher temperatures had higher DPPH radical scavenging ability. The final moisture content and drying time decreased as the drying temperature increased; moreover, the antioxidant activity increased. A lower drying temperature is beneficial to maintaining the chemical characteristics of crops.

이 논문은 창작 뮤지컬 『서편제』의 주요 넘버 중 한국 음악적 요소와 서양의 음악적 요소가 융합된 형태를 분석하였다. 한국의 전통적인 음악으로만 이루어진 작품들은 대중적인 흥행을 이 끌어 내는데 한계가 있으며 결국 서양 대중음악과의 융합된 콘텐츠가 필요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 한국의 음악적 요소와 서양의 음악적 요소가 융합된 뮤지컬 작품 중 성공한 『서편제』의 음악을 분석하여 융합 방법에 대해 제시하는 것이었다. 연구방법은 첫째 대중음악의 요소가 자연스럽게 융화될 수 있도록 줄거리의 각색 방법, 둘째 한국 전통음악과 서양 대중음악이 융합된 뮤지컬 넘 버를 수직적 관점과 수평적 관점의 화성과 선율로 분석하였다. 연구결과 『서편제』는 주요 등장 인물들의 갈등 관계를 한국 판소리와 서양 대중음악의 갈등 구조로 배치하여 작품의 극적 몰입도 를 부각시키는 이야기의 각색을 사용하였다. 또한, 한국 음계의 선율 진행에 서양의 단조 조성을 가진 선율로 전환 시켜 수평적 융합을 하였고, 한국의 판소리에 서양 대중음악의 화성을 악기로 연주하여 수직적 융합을 하였다. 결국, 뮤지컬 서편제는 한국의 전통음악 요소와 서양 대중음악의 요소들이 잘 융합되어 창작되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이 논문은『서편제』한 편으로 분석을 하여 다양한 융합 방법을 도출해 내기에는 분석 대상의 한계를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 앞으로 많은 작 품에 대한 연구가 이루어진다면 다양한 융합 방법에 대해 정립하고 제시할 수 있을 것으로 제언하 였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study investigated the transition experience of novice nurses working in a tertiary hospital, focusing on the difference between nursing school education and clinical nursing practice. Methods: The data were collected through an unstructured, in-depth interview with 14 recently employed nurses from October 2020 to January 2021. The data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results: The main theme of the transition experience perceived by new graduate nurses was confirmed as ‘reality shock’. In the process of identifying the main themes, five categories, sixteen sub- categories, and sixty-two concepts were derived. The five categories were, ‘Clinical field different from school education setting’, ‘Nursing school education in need of change’, ‘Strengths and limitations of clinical training in schools and hospitals’, ‘Difficulty in establishing relationships and communicating’, and ‘struggling to stand alone’. Conclusion: To minimize the reality shock experienced by novice nurses, nursing schools should innovate their traditional teaching methods based on the changing characteristics of the novice nurses and the clinical environment. In nursing practice, hospitals should grant more time to the nurses for adaptation and diversify mentoring programs comparable to internships for novice nurses.
