In this study, we aim to classify personal mobility (PM)-related traffic crash data into four categories: PM-to-vehicle, PM-to-pedestrian, PM-single, and vehicle-to-PM crashes, and analyze the factors influencing the severity of each crash type. To overcome the limitations of existing studies in explaining the impact of independent variables on ordinal dependent variables, a random forest model was combined with the Shapley additive explanation technique. This approach visualizes the influence of independent variables on a dependent variable, providing clearer insights and enhancing interpretability. The analysis of PM traffic accidents, categorized into at-fault, single-vehicle, and victim accidents, revealed distinct key factors for each type. The main contributors to the severity of crashes caused by PM are traffic violations by teenagers and collisions with elderly pedestrians. Single-vehicle accidents were predominantly caused by overturn incidents, with inadequate driving skills among PM users aged 40 years and older, and significantly increasing severity. Victim accidents primarily occur at intersections, where the behavior of the at-fault driver and age of the PM user are critical factors influencing the severity. We identified various factors influencing the severity of PM crashes by type, highlighting the need for tailored policy measures. Proposed policies include physically separating bicycle–pedestrian shared spaces and strictly regulating illegal PM sidewalk riding, introducing PM licenses for teenagers to ensure compliance with traffic rules, and implementing regular safety education programs for all age groups. Although this study applied a new analytical technique, it relied on limited crash data, thus limiting the results to estimates.

Component-specific information is crucial for identifying sources of PM2.5 in indoor environments. However, profiles of PM2.5 at various locations, including subway tunnels are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between PM2.5 and its component across tunnels, platforms, and outdoor environments at underground subway stations in Incheon. The study was conducted at six underground subway stations in Incheon. PM2.5 concentrations were measured twice at each station, simultaneously covering the tunnel, platform, and outdoor areas. Carbon (two types), ion (eight types), and metal components (20 types) were analyzed using each analytical instruments. The mean PM2.5 concentration in the tunnel was 33.0±15.7 μg/ m3, significantly higher than the concentrations observed on the platform (12.9±4.6 μg/m3) and outdoors (13.1±7.6 μg/m3). The proportion of total metal concentrations in PM2.5 was highest in the tunnel (57.8%), followed by the platform (22.2%) and outdoor areas (11.3%). Significant correlations between the platform and tunnel were observed for organic carbon, SO4 2–, NO3 –, NH4 +, Ba, Mn, Fe, and Se. Significant correlations between the platform and outdoor were observed for SO4 2–, NO3 –, NH4 +, and Ti, while the tunnel and outdoor showed correlations for SO4 2– and NH4 +. PM2.5 concentrations and total metal concentrations were highest in the tunnel. While PM2.5 concentrations on the platform and outdoors were similar, total metal concentrations were higher on the platform than outdoors. From the platform’s perspective, the concentrations of Ba, Mn, Fe, and Se were only associated with the tunnel, while SO4 2–, NO3 –, and NH4 + had tendency of correlations between both the tunnel and outdoors. The findings suggest that for platform PM2.5 concentrations, Ba, Mn, Fe, and Se may serve as indicators of tunnel-originating PM2.5, while SO4 2–, NO3 –, and NH4 + may serve as indicators for outdoor sources.

본 연구는 아메리카동애등에(Hermetia illucens)의 대량 사육을 위하여 남은음식물 사료의 최적 수분 함량과 적정 사육 밀도를 조사하였다. 실 험에서는 500 g의 습식 사료의 수분 함량을 각각 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%로 조정한 후, 3,500마리의 3령 유충을 7일 동안 사육하였다. 그 결과, 90% 수분 함량에서 평균 유충 무게는 7.19 g으로 측정되었고, 70% 수분 함량에서 가장 높은 무게인 10.54 g이 나타났다. 반면, 50%와 30% 수분 함량에 서는 유충 생육이 저조한 결과가 나타났다. 적절 사육 밀도를 조사를 위해 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, 250,000 마리의 3령 유충을 70% 수분함량 의 100 kg 습식 사료에 7일 동안 처리하였다. 그 결과, 250,000 마리에서 총 유충 생산량이 22.79 kg으로 가장 높게 나타났으나, 150,000, 200,000, 250,000 마리 밀도 간에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 100마리당 평균 무게는 100,000 마리에서 16.90 g, 150,000 마리에서 15.20 g, 200,000 마리 에서 11.30 g, 250,000 마리에서 9.50 g으로 확인되었으며, 100,000 마리와 150,000 마리 밀도 간에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로, 남은 음식물 사료인 습식사료 100 kg를 급여할 경우 수분 함량을 70%로 유지하고 사육 밀도를 15만 마리로 설정하는 것이 가장 효과적임을 확인하였다.

This study assessed dried vegetables derived from sweet potato petioles to promote the use of typically discarded aerial parts. The length (18.25 to 35.00 cm) and thickness (4.59 to 6.66 mm) of the petioles varied by variety, with ‘Hophungmi’ and ‘Tongchaeru’ showing promise for dried vegetable processing due to their longer and thicker petioles. In terms of color, ‘Hophungmi’ and ‘Shinmi’ exhibited high lightness, ‘Tongchaeru’ and ‘Hayangmi’ displayed strong redness, and ‘Pungwonmi’ had high yellowness. Rehydration rates and hardness increased over the harvest period, with ‘Pungwonmi’ and ‘Tongchaeru’ demonstrating excellent rehydration capacity. Additionally, ‘Hayangmi,’ ‘Shinmi,’ ‘Tongchaeru,’ and ‘Hophungmi’ maintained lower hardness levels, appealing to consumers who prefer a softer texture. Notably, the substantial polyphenol content (10.70 to 16.20 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid content (4.79 to 8.11 mg CE/g), along with antioxidant activity (DPPH: 1.11 to 2.14 mg, ABTS: 5.51 to 7.78 mg TE/g), indicate their potential as antioxidant-rich functional foods. This research supports the development of dried vegetable products tailored to consumer preferences.

Alfalfa hay varieties have been developed and cultivated in Korea to enhance the self-sufficiency rate of domestic roughage. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of feeding domestic and imported alfalfa on the growth performance and economic feasibility of Hanwoo bulls. This study was conducted using eight Hanwoo bulls, aged 6 to 7 months, during their growing period. Hanwoo bulls were divided into two groups: one group fed imported alfalfa and the other group fed domestic alfalfa. Dry matter intake, weight gain, and blood metabolites were analyzed for two months of the growing stage. There was no significant difference between the two groups in dry matter intake and body weight. However, the price of domestic alfalfa is lower than that of imported alfalfa, so feeding domestic alfalfa is expected to have a positive effect on reducing production costs. Further study is needed to compare not only the growth performance but also carcass characteristics after slaughter by feeding domestic alfalfa to Hanwoo for a longer period during their growing stage.

This study investigated phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants according to cultivar and growth stage. For 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harvested rapeseed plants, total polyphenol contents were 12.56~15.85, 10.28~13.17, and 9.94~16.01 mg gallic acid equivalents/g sample, respectively; total flavonoid contents were 9.86~11.05, 10.41~13.06, and 8.18~16.64 mg catechin equivalents/g sample, respectively; total chlorophyll contents were 17.26~21.66, 19.31~24.95, and 22.16~38.39 mg/g sample, respectively; and total glucosinolates contents were 31.13~46.22, 28.51~34.72, and 22.18~30.58 mg SE/g sample, respectively. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants were 3.26~5.91 and 10.69~17.17 mg trolox equivalents/g sample, respectively. FRAP activities of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harvested rapeseed plants were 142.88~63.93, 37.97~61.24, and 32.93~52.36 mM/g sample, respectively. Phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants were found to be high in Halla, Yuryeo, and Yeongsan cultivars. Overall, phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants tended to decrease as the harvest time was delayed. These results indicate that more research on functional ingredients and physiological activities of rapeseed plants is needed to diversify their fields of use.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to prevent slip accidents on manhole covers located on sidewalks and local roads as well as to propose reasonable slip resistance management standards for manhole covers. METHODS : Using field surveys, test groups were classified based on the patterns and wear amounts of the manhole covers. Standards for measuring the equipment and methods for slip resistance were established, and the slip resistance values were compared and analyzed for each manhole cover test group. RESULTS : According to the slip resistance test results, micro-protrusions on the non-slip manhole covers were found to be effective in improving slip resistance. However, in areas without microprotrusions, the improvement in slip resistance was minimal and yielded results similar to those of standard manhole covers. In addition, among the pattern types of standard manhole covers, the radial pattern was found to be the most susceptible to slipping. Under the current wear measurement standards, the change in slip resistance at different wear stages was found to be relatively small. Moreover, manhole covers had the lowest slip resistance among road surface structures, indicating the need to establish management standards for them. CONCLUSIONS : To prevent pedestrian slip accidents on sidewalks and local roads, it is necessary to ensure that the slip resistance standards of manhole covers are higher than those of sidewalks.

본 연구는 스트론튬 이온(Sr²⁺) 처리가 수화 시멘트 복합체의 공극분포 특성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 물- 시멘트비(w/c) 0.3, 0.4, 0.5로 제조된 시멘트 페이스트 시편을 21일간 탈 이온수에서 수중 양생한 후, 각각 두 개의 그룹 으로 나누었다. 첫 번째 그룹은 탈 이온수에서 추가로 7일간 양생하였고, 두 번째 그룹은 30% 질산스트론튬(Sr(NO3)2) 수 용액에서 동일기간 동안 추가 양생하였다. 양생기간 및 조건에 따른 각 시편에 대하여 수은압입법(MIP: Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry)을 사용하여 공극률 및 공극 크기 분포를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 물-시멘트비가 낮을수록 공극률이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 21일과 28일간 탈 이온수에서 양생한 시편 간에는 공극률 차이가 유의미하지 않았으나, 21일 수중양생 후 스트론튬 이온에 7일간 처리된 시편은 공극률이 유의미하게 감소한 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 물-시멘트비 0.3인 경우 에는 공극률이 33% 이상 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 공극 크기 분포 특성 분석 결과, 모든 물-시멘트비 조건에서 21 일 양생된 시편에 비해 7일간 추가 양생된 시편은 큰 공극의 양이 줄어들면서 작은 공극의 양이 증가하는 경향을 확인 하였다. 특히, 스트론튬 이온에 처리된 시편의 경우 50nm 이하의 매우 작은 공극의 양이 크게 증가하였다. 이로써 스트 론튬 이온 처리에 의해 수화 시멘트 복합체의 미세조직이 치밀해짐을 확인하였으며, SEM 분석을 통해 이러한 결과를 시 각적으로 확인하였다. 본 연구는 스트론튬 이온을 활용한 시멘트 콘크리트 표면처리 기법이 노후 시멘트 콘크리트 구조 물에 대하여 수분 침투 저항성을 향상시키는 유지관리 기술로서 잠재력을 지니고 있음을 보여준다.

This study quantitatively analyzes risks of industrial incidents to fisher on overseas tuna purse seiners and long liners. A Bayesian network is employed to analyze 478 cases of industrial incidents, comprising 401 cases from purse seiners and 77 cases from long liners, reported from 2019 to 2022. The highest risk of industrial incidents on purse seiners is attributed to diseases. Excluding diseases, risks are the highest during fishing: 5.31 times higher during catch handling, 2.05 times higher during maintenance, and 2.38 times higher during loading and unloading. The risk of industrial incidents caused by the hull is 9.50 times higher than those caused by fishing gear, 4.59 times higher than those caused by machinery, and 3.61 times higher than those caused by the caught fish. Among the types of industrial incidents, slips are the highest: 2.58 times higher than industrial incidents caused by being bump, 3.74 times higher than those caused by hit, and 3.94 times higher than those caused by imbalance and overexertion. For long liners, most industrial incidents are concentrated in diseases, with dental, musculoskeletal, skin, and respiratory diseases being the primary types of industrial incidents identified. This study aims to propose reduction measures for reducing the high-risk form of industrial incidents, specifically slips, and to present health management strategies for preventing diseases among fisher on overseas tuna fishing vessels. By addressing these aspects, this study seeks to contribute to the safety and sustainability of the overseas tuna fishing industry.

최근 해상 교통량 증가 및 연안 중심의 레저활동으로 인해 다양한 해양사고가 발생하고 있다. 그 중 선박사고는 인 명 및 재산 피해를 유발할 뿐만 아니라 기름 및 위험·유해물질 유출을 동반한 해양 오염사고로 이어질 가능성이 크다. 따 라서 해양사고 대비 및 대응을 위한 지속적인 선박 모니터링이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 해상 선박 모니터링 체계 구축을 위한 초분광 원격탐사 기반의 항공 실험 수행 및 선박탐지 결과를 제시하였다. 한반도 서해 궁평항 인근 해역을 대상으로 초분광 항공관측을 수행하였으며, 사전에 다양한 선박 갑판에 대한 분광 라이브러리를 구축하였다. 탐지 방법으로는 spectral correlation similarity (SCS) 기법을 사용하였으며 초분광 영상과 선박 스펙트럼 사이의 공간 유사도 분포를 분석하 였다. 그 결과 초분광 영상에 존재하는 총 15개의 선박을 탐지하였으며 최대 유사도에 기반한 선박 갑판의 색상도 분류하 였다. 탐지 선박들은 고해상도 digital mapping camera (DMC) 영상과의 매칭을 통해 검증하였다. 본 연구는 해상 선박탐지 를 위한 항공 초분광 센서 활용의 기초로서 향후 원격탐사 기반의 선박 모니터링 시스템에 주요 역할을 할 것으로 기대된 다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between ecotoxicity and water quality items using Daphnia magna in public sewage treatment plant process and to obtain operational data to control ecotoxicity through research on removal efficiency. The average value of ecotoxicity was 1.39 TU in the influent, 1.50 TU in the grit chamber, and 0.84 TU in the primary settling tank and it was found that most organic matters, nitrogen, and phosphorus were removed through biological treatment in the bioreactor. Using Pearson’s correlation analysis, the positive correlation was confirmed in the order of ecotoxicity and water quality items TOC, BOD, T-N, NH3-N, SS, EC, and Cu. As a result of conducting a multilinear regression analysis with items representing positive correlation as independent variables, the regression model was found to be statistically significant, and the explanatory power of the regression model was about 81.6%. TOC was found to have a significant effect on ecotoxicity with B=0.009 (p<.001) and Cu with B=16.670 (p<.001), and since the B sign is positive (+), an increase of 1 in TOC increases the value of ecotoxicity by 0.009 and an increase in Cu by 1 increases the value of ecotoxicity by 16.670. TOC (β=0.789, p<.001) and Cu (β=0.209, p<.001) were found to have a significant positive effect on ecotoxicity. TOC and Cu have a great effect on ecotoxicity in the sewage treatment plant process, and it is judged that TOC and Cu should be considered preferentially and controlled in order to efficiently control ecotoxicity.
