이 논문은 체관의 『천태사교의(天台四敎儀)』가 지니는 문화사적 의의 가 무엇인가를 분석하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 고려 광종 때, 오월왕 전홍숙의 요청에 의해 중국에 건너간 체관은 법화 천태를 위시한 불교 전적을 오월에 전달하게 되며, 나계 의적 문하에서 수학하게 된다. 당시 전란으로 피폐해진 중국은 불교 전적을 구하기 어려웠으며, 따라서 고려, 일본 등 주변 국가에서 불교 전적을 수집하게 된다. 천태사상의 중요한 용어 중의 하나인 ‘동제사주’란 단어의 의미를 파 악하기 위해 시작된 불교 전적의 수집과 교학의 연찬은 동북아 불교문화 의 교류라는 차원을 넘어, 중국 천태종의 부흥과 교학의 풍요를 불러오게 된다. 나계 의적과 오월왕 전홍숙을 중심으로 불교문화는 폭 넓게 교류하 고 있었던 것이다. 체관의 『천태사교의』는 그의 사후 중국 천태종과 일본 천태종의 발전 에 막대한 영향을 미친 것으로 파악하고 있다. 수 많은 주석서가 남아 있으며, 방대한 천태사상을 일목요연하게 파악할 수 있는 개론서적 성격 을 지니고 있기 때문이다. 『천태사교의』를 중심으로 전개되는 동북아의 불교문화교류는 시공을 초월해 불교라는 공통의 문화를 확산하고 발전시 키는데 기여하는 것이다. 현대 사회는 몰개성화, 자아 정체성의 상실, 즉물주의 등이 특징이다. 천태의 수행법은 이러한 현대 사회의 단점을 보완하거나 교정해 줄 수 있다고 본다. 그런 점에서 『천태사교의』를 통해 전승되고 있는 천태종의 전통과 사상은 복잡한 현대 사회에 새로운 문화창조의 역량을 제공할 수 있는 교본이 될 수 있다는 점에서 문화교류의 차원을 넘어 새롭게 조명 할 가치가 있다고 평가할 수 있다.

본 연구는 소나무재선충병 피해지의 식생복원을 위해 조림된 편백을 대상으로 토양개량제의 처리 효과를 조사하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 2007년 소나무재선충병 피해지에 모두베기 후 조림된 8년생 편백을 대상으로 2013년부터 2016년까지 4년 동안 목탄과 톱밥을 두 수준의 복합비료 (N6:P4:K1, N3:P4:K1)에 혼합 처리한 토양개량제 처리구와 무시비구(대조구)를 대상으로 임목 생장, 토양 및 잎 양분 특성을 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 흉고직경 또는 수고 생장량과 측정시기에 대한 선형회귀식의 회귀계수(slope)는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, Biomass 증가량은 토양개량제 처리구와 대조구 사이의 회귀계수에 유의적인 차이가 있었다. 그러나 복합비료의 시비 수준의 회귀계수는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 토양 EC를 제외한 토양 호흡, 토양온도, 토양수분 함량, 토양 pH는 토양개량제 처리구와 대조구 및 시비 수준 사이에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 토양의 화학적 특성 중 유기탄소와 전질소 농도는 토양개량제 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 값을 보였으나, 유효 인, 교환성 칼슘 및 마그네슘은 토양개량제 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 크게 나타났다. 잎의 질소 및 인 농도는 토양개량제 처리구가 대조구에 비해 증가하였으나, 칼륨과 마그네슘 농도는 처리 간 차이가 없었다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 소나무재선충병 피해지 식생복원을 위한 편백 조림지에 토양개량제 처리는 양분 유효도의 향상 및 조림목의 바이오매스 증가에 기여할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

기후변화 관점에서 수목의 이산화탄소 흡수·저장에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 도시 정주지 수목을 대상으로 한 탄소저장량 추정 모형의 개발에 대한 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 도시 지역에 조경수로 식재된 서양측백(Thuja occidentalis L.) 20본을 벌채한 후 수목 부위별 탄소 농도를 비교하고 탄소저장량 추정 상대생장식을 개발하였다. 수목 부위별 바이오매스는 흉고직경(DBH)의 증가와 강한 지수함수적 관계가 있었다. 수목 부위별 탄소 농도는 줄기 목질부가 51.7%로 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 뿌리는 42.9%로 가장 낮았다. 줄기 목질부 탄소 농도는 흉고직경과 양의 상관관계가 있었으나, 수피, 가지, 잎, 뿌리의 탄소 농도는 흉고직경과 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 흉고직경 또는 흉고직경 제곱과 수고(DBH2×H)를 독립변수로 하고 수목 부위별 탄소저장량을 종속변수로 하는 상대생장식의 결정계수(R2)는 잎(0.70~0.71)을 제외한 모든 부위에서 0.80~0.97로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과로부터 얻어진 수목 부위별 탄소저장량 추정 상대생장식은 도시 정주지에 식재된 서양측백의 탄소저장 량 및 흡수량의 추정에 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated associations between healthy dietary practices and the odds of prediabetes among Korean adolescents. The data of 1,624 adolescents aged 12 to 18 who participated in the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Healthy dietary practices were defined according to Health Plan 2030 criteria, and prediabetes was defined as a fasting blood glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL. After controlling for confounders, adjusting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prediabetes were determined for different healthy dietary practices using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Compared with adolescents who engaged in healthy dietary practices, those who did not had a 1.63-fold (95% CI: 1.12-2.37) higher odds of prediabetes. In addition, adolescents who did not consume ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables daily and those who refrained from reading nutritional fact labels, which are both subindicators of healthy dietary practices, had a 1.66 (95% CI: 1.05-2.62) and 1.58-fold (95% CI: 1.06-2.37) higher odds of prediabetes, respectively, than those who did. Increasing the proportion of adolescents engaging in healthy dietary practices, such as consuming ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables daily and reading nutritional fact labels when selecting food, is imperative.

토석 채취 후 식생복구지의 토양 특성은 복구 식생의 생육에 중요하다. 본 연구는 토석 채취 후 식생복구지와 인접 소나무 및 굴참나무 임분을 대상으로 0∼10cm, 10∼20cm, 20∼30cm 깊이에 토양의 물리·화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 토양용적밀도와 토양 pH는 식생복구지가 소나무나 굴참나무 임분에 비해 유의적으로 높았으나(P<0.05), 유기탄소와 전질소농도는 인접 산림지에 비해 낮았다. 유효 인은 0~10cm 깊이에서 식생복구지 와 산림지 간 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 교환성 칼슘은 식생복구지가 인접 산림지에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 토양 유기 탄소저장량은 식생복구지가 9,896 kg C ha-1로 소나무 임분 131,368 kg C ha-1나 굴참나무 임분 154,381 kg C ha-1에 비해 유의적으로 낮았으며 질소저장량도(식 생복구지: 2,406 kg N ha-1; 소나무: 10,496 kg N ha-1; 굴참나무: 8,081 kg N ha-1) 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 인, 포타슘, 마그네슘 저장량은 식생복구지와 인접 산림 간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 한편, 칼슘저장량은 식생복구지가 8,998 kg Ca ha-1로 소나무 임분 697 kg Ca ha-1나 굴참나무 임분 660 kg Ca ha-1에 비해 유의적으로 크게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 토석 채취 후 식생복구지는 토양용적밀도와 토양 pH를 낮추고 유기물의 증가와 질소 시비 같은 양분관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This study aimed to determine the association between household types and healthy dietary practices among Korean adults. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using nationwide data on 23,488 participants from the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Based on self-reported data, the participant household types were classified into single- and multi-person households. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for healthy dietary practices according to household types were calculated by applying multivariable logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Of total, 11.21% and 88.79% were single- and multi-person households, respectively. Compared with individuals living in multi-person households, those in single-person households had lower odds of adhering to healthy dietary practices (AOR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.98) and consuming adequate saturated fatty acids (<7% of energy) (AOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.69-0.88). In addition, men and individuals aged 65 years living in single-person households exhibited lower odds of consuming adequate saturated fatty acids and 500 g of fruit and vegetables per day than those in multi-person households. Single-person households often find it a challenge to practice a healthy diet. Hence, nutritional policies and educational support that help individuals living alone consume healthier diets are warranted.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer, and it has been steadily increasing in worldwide. Pituitary tumor transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) has been known as oncogene in a verity of cancers. Nevertheless, the expression and role of PTTG1 in OSCC progression remains largely unexplored. In this study, clinical datasets were analyzed to assess the genetic impact of PTTG1 on OSCC progression and to identify its functional roles in OSCC cell lines. We analyzed the expression of PTTG1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) and OSCC using databases form the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To investigate the effect of PTTG1 on proliferation and migration abilities in OSCC cell lines, following the knockdown of PTTG1 in HSC-2 and SCC-9 cell lines, we analyzed the proliferation and metastatic abilities of OSCC cells using EdU and Boyden chamber assays. Our database analysis revealed that PTTG1 was significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. Moreover, its expression correlated with clinical parameters of OSCC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that depletion of PTTG1 suppressed the ability of cell proliferation and migration in both HSC-2 and SCC-9 cell lines. In conclusion, our study suggests that PTTG1 may act as an oncogene in OSCC. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms and clinical implications of PTTG1 expression in OSCC patients.

Global food prices have skyrocketed due to international uncertainties such as COVID-19 and the Russian-Ukrainian War. In this context, the importance of rural areas as a source of food production is also rapidly increasing. However, the issue of regional extinction is emerging as Korea faces the world's lowest fertility rate and fastest aging population. Also, rural areas are losing their population more rapidly than large cities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the factors that can encourage the influx of fishermen to prevent the disappearance of these fishing villages. As a result of the analysis, in order to prevent the disappearance of fishing villages, among the infrastructure, natural environment, and residential environment variables, the ratio of aged housing related to quality of life, culture and amenities coefficients were found to have a greater impact than other variables. Based on these results, it is judged that it is necessary to establish a sufficient level of infrastructure in fishing villages and to prioritize policies for improving the residential environment.

In this study, we aimed to explore whether eating alone is associated with mental health conditions in Korean adolescents. The data of 2,012 Korean adolescents aged 12-18 years were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015–2019. Participants were classified into three groups based on the frequency of eating alone: none (all meals with others); 1 meal/day alone; and 2 meals/day alone. Mental health conditions were assessed based on stress recognition, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Multivariable logistic regressions were employed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of poor mental health conditions according to the frequency of eating alone. Adolescents who ate 2 meals/day alone had higher odds of stress recognition (AOR: 2.65, 95% CI: 1.94- 3.63), depressive symptoms (AOR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.47-4.42), and suicidal ideation (AOR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.05-6.08) than those who ate all their meals with others. In addition, having breakfast or dinner alone increased the odds of stress recognition. Considering the continuous increase in the social phenomenon of eating alone, nutritional educations are needed to develop adolescents' ability to choose more nutritionally balanced and healthy meals when eating alone.

This study investigated the potential role of dietary factors associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Koreans. The scoping review method was used to evaluate the studies that utilized the secondary data sets comprising the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Articles published between 2012 and 2022 were identified using RISS, KISS, DBpia, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. In all, there were 32 published articles on obesity and 119 on MetS. Obesity research included eight articles on nutrients, 12 on food items/food groups, two on dietary patterns, nine on dietary behavior/eating habits, and one on the dietary index. MetS studies comprised 34 articles on nutrients, 43 on food items/food groups, seven on dietary patterns, 25 on dietary behavior/eating habits, and 10 on the dietary index. Carbohydrates, alcohol, and coffee consumption were the most frequently studied dietary factors for obesity and MetS. The primary areas of study were largely focused on nutrients and food items/food groups. Thus, to overcome the paucity of information on the relationship of dietary patterns and dietary indexes with obesity and MetS, there is a need for further research using the KNHANES and KoGES data sets.

Incheon is an area where complaints about odors occur frequently and there are many sources of odor emission. In this study, we used a real-time monitoring device to measure the odorous concentration near the areas where there are complaints about odors. The measurements were carried out for the three areas (G, C, S) that are located around emissions sources. G is situated in an industrial complex that has a reputation for being one of the most foul smelling regions of Incheon. A petroleum refining plant and storage facility are located around C. S is a residential area nearby an industrial site. The concentration of major designated odor substances in the G and S areas satisfied the site boundary emission standards. With regard to the characteristics of odor substances by region, although the C area region had the highest odor intensity among the three regions due to the odor intensity near the oil storage facility areas G and S were similar in terms of odor intensity. In the region of the G area, the odor intensity was slightly higher at the northern side of t he industrial complex. In terms of the odor intensity of the designated odor substances, trimethyl amine was the strongest, followed by hydrogen sulfide. The real time monitoring system was necessary to analyze the changing trends of odor substances and for the determination of major odor sources. This study was conducted to identify the material causes of odors in areas of Incheon where there are frequent complaints about major odors.

The annual number of odor complaints increased about 10 times over 14 years from 4,302 in 2005 to 40,854 in 2019, in Korea. Especially, livestock facilities account for more than 50% of the odor complaints and the swine farms account for the most odor complaints among livestock. It is therefore necessary to manage swine farms as the major odor emission source. In this study, a real-time odor monitoring system equipped with PTR-TOF-MS (proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometric) was used to measure the odorous substances in two swine farms. Odorous substances emitted from outlets were sampled and measured at the two types of swine farms. In addition, the boundary spots were designated as measurement points. As a result, the rankings of the odorous substances in order, from highest to lowest, were ammonia, acetaldehyde, methyl mercaptan, fatty acids, etc. and the level of odor intensity was 0.8-4.4 at the outlet of the swine farms. The concentration at the boundary decreased between 1/100 ~ 1/10000 compared to the concentration emitted from outlets. Base on the results of evaluating odor activity values, Skatole and p-Cresol were estimated as major odor substances in swine farms.

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 investigated the trend of research on ‘Food science and Nutrition’ in previously published papers in the Journal of Korean Society of Food Culture (JKSFC) from 2000 to 2021.
