Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is a species that has devastated the United States and Canada. It is known to play a role in destroying the ecosystem. In this study, the domestic distribution of garlic mustard was confirmed and a detailed distribution map was created for the Samcheok region, where the largest population has been established in South Korea. This study investigated the growth environment, life cycle, and population dynamics of the species in the Samcheok region. Garlic mustard was found in a total of 301 locations in Samcheok, with a total distribution area of 2,957 square meters. Annual plants germinated in mid-April, overwintered in rosette form, underwent vegetative growth from April 10 to April 24 the following year, and flowered from April 24 to May 7. Individuals producing seeds began to die off from June. Both annual and biennial individuals showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing in number around April 27 (118 days). Garlic mustard grew well under favorable light conditions in early spring. They showed less growth on leaf litter, short distance from roads, lower altitude, deciduous broad-leaved forest of middle and lower parts of the slope and forest edge. Without proper control measures in the Samcheok region, it is likely to spread more rapidly in deciduous broad-leaved forests along hiking trails in the Galyasan Mountains. In particular, it is more likely to extend to oak community where light enters the site during flowering than to pine community where there is less light in the site.

To investigate the impact of forestry projects on the carbon stocks of forests, we estimated the carbon stock change of above-ground and soil before and after forestry projects using forest type maps, forestry project information, and soil information. First, we selected six map sheet with large areas and declining age class based on forest type map information. Then, we collected data such as forest type maps, growth coefficients, soil organic matter content, and soil bulk density of the estimated areas to calculate forest carbon storage. As a result, forest carbon stocks decreased by about 34.1~70.0% after forestry projects at all sites. In addition, compared to reference studies, domestic forest soils store less carbon than the above-ground, so it is judged that domestic forest soils have great potential to store more carbon and strategies to increase carbon storage are needed. It was estimated that the amount of carbon stored before forestry projects is about 1.5 times more than after forestry projects. The study estimated that it takes about 27 years for forests to recover to their pre-thinning carbon stocks following forestry projects. Since it takes a long time for forests to recover to their original carbon stocks once their carbon stocks are reduced by physical damage, it is necessary to plan to preserve them as much as possible, especially for highly conservative forests, so that they can maintain their carbon storage function.

This study examines how the concept of gender fluidity—viewing gender identity as a fluid and wide spectrum—is represented in modern knit fashion collections. The period spring/summer 2017–fall/winter 2021, when gender-related fashion keywords started attracting attention, was limited to the last five years, and the results of a case analysis focused on a total of 357 knit fashion photos are as follows. First, the androgynous compromise through the mixing of heterogeneous elements appears as a mix-and-match style due to the patchwork of heterogeneous materials and forms that borrow or share masculinity and femininity. Second, it was confirmed that the dismantling exaggeration caused by the destruction of the size and form of clothes was an avant-garde image that exaggerated the size or length of clothes or destroyed ideas and forms. Third, the exposed sensuality caused by the deformation of the fluid knitting technique was shown in the form of proudly expressing sexuality by exposing the body either using the cut-out technique or through the loose texture of the knit. Knit fashion can highlight decorative effects using handcrafted techniques and express a detailed or coarse sense of organization depending on the density. In addition, since it is possible to create a complex image by juxtaposing and mixing various knit structures, it was confirmed that it is a suitable material for expressing gender fluidity flowing between men and women in fashion.

The study investigated the potential effect of the Ecklonia cava extract by using Jeju lava seawater (ECE-JLS; hardness: 100, 300 mg/L), which is naturally filtered underground by a volcanic rock layer. The chemical composition, antioxidant-related enzyme activities, radical scavenging activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in Vero cells, and nitric oxide (NO) production in Raw 264.7 cells were measured to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the extract. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of ECE-JLS100 and 300 were 156.41± 1.15, 166.16±2.27 mg/g, and 343.76±2.40, 373.90±3.67 mg/g, respectively. The concentration of ECE-JLS’ SOD and CAT-like activities was increased. ECE-JLS in the range of 0.25 to 2 mg/mL exhibited remarkable DPPH radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities. ECE-JLS100 and 300 inhibited total ROS generation by 21.4±0.4 and 23.9± 0.3% in H2O2-induced Vero cells at 200 g/mL concentration, respectively. ECE-JLS100 and 300 decreased NO production, with levels of about 55.0±2.4 and 56.5±1.8% at 200 g/mL concentration, respectively. The contents of TNF-  were decreased compared to the negative control. These observations provide helpful information for the potential industrial use of Jeju lava seawater. Also, ECE-JLSW could be used as a functional food material.

본 연구에서는 가물치(Channa argus) 추출물의 신경세포 분화와 산화 스트레스에서의 효능을 분석하기 위하여 녹차와 효소를 이용한 다양한 추출 방법(상온 추출물, RE; 녹차 상온 추출물, GRE; 효소 상온 추출물, ERE; 녹차 효소 상온 추출물, GERE)을 사용하여 제조 된 추출물의 아미노산 조성과 항산화 활성을 비교 분석하였고, 신경성장인자 (NGF) 유도 신경세포 분화 및 과산화수소 처리에 의해 유도된 PC12 세포 독성에 대한 보호효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 총 아미노산 함량은 RE 및 GRE보다 효소 추출물인 ERE 및 GERE에서 훨씬 더 높았다. 효소 가수 분해물 (ERE 및 GERE)에서 ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성은 RE 및 GRE보다 높았다. 또한, RE와 ERE는 PC12 세포에서 neuronal growth factor (NGF) 매개 신경 돌기 성장뿐만 아 니라 growth associated protein (GAP)-43 및 synapsin-1의 발현을 현저하게 향상 시켰다. 과산화수소(H2O2)에 의해 손 상된 PC12 세포에 4가지 유형의 Channa argus 추출물을 첨가한 후 PC12 세포의 생존율을 측정하였다. PC12 세포 의 생존율은 RE, GRE, GERE에서 각각 77.5±1.9%, 84.0±0.8%, 81.1±0.9%이였다. 이러한 세포 생존율은 H2O2 만을 처리 한 음성 대조군(70.0±2.0%)에 비해 더 높았다. H2O2 처리에 의해 유도 된 세포 독성도 RE, GRE 및 GERE 처리에 대한 반응으로 상당히 완화되었다. 종합하면, Channa argus 추출물은 산화 스트레스와 신경 손상을 감소시키는 기능성 물질로 유용하다는 것을 시사하며, 향후 이들 소재를 활용한 다양한 기능성 제품의 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

목적 : 우리나라에서는 2018년 12월 30일 ‘장애인·노인 등을 위한 보조기기 지원 및 활용촉진에 관한 법률’이 제정 및 시행되면서 통합적인 보조기기 지원의 법적 근거가 마련되었으나, 실제 보조기기 서비스와 지원은 기존의 다양한 법률과 지원 방식을 기준으로 이루어지고 있어, 장애인과 노인이 이에 대해 정확하게 이해하고 서비스를 받는 것이 어려운 실정 이다. 본 연구에서는 작업치료사로써 보조기 지원체계에 대한 이해를 높이고, 향후 임상 현장에서 수요자에게 적합한 보 조기기를 지원하는 전문가로서 역할을 원활하게 하기 위해 국내 보조기기 지원체계에 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구에서는 지원 대상과 범위가 넓은 국민건강보험법, 장애인복지법, 장애인고용촉진 및 직업재활법, 산업 재해보상보험법, 보조기기법 5개를 선정하여 법률 위주로 지원체계를 살펴보았다. 선정된 법률은 법의 목적, 지원 대상, 지원 품목과 방법, 관련 전문가로 분류하여 내용을 분석하였다. 결과 : 분류 내용별로 각 법률 마다 지원 대상이나 품목 등은 차이가 있었고, 일부는 관련성이 있거나 중복되는 부분이 있었 다. 분석 대상 법률 중 보조기기법의 경우 대상자와 지원 품목, 서비스 전문가 부분에서 가장 넓은 범위를 명시하고 있었다. 결론 : 연구 결과 법률별로 목적과 지원 대상, 서비스 방법 등에 차이가 있어, 대상자가 직접 각기 다른 서비스 지원체계 에 대해 정확한 정보가 있어야 서비스를 원활하게 제공 받을 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 보조기기 서비스를 제공하는 전문가로써 작업치료사는 이러한 다양한 법률과 지원체계에 대해 숙지하는 것이 반드시 필요하며, 해당 법률과 지원체계가 대상자 및 전문가의 서비스 품질을 높일 수 있도록 모니터링하고 제안해야 할 필요가 있겠다.

The structural aesthetics of architecture are becoming an inspirational source for many fashion designers and have been reborn in structural fashion. This study planned to analyze the method of expression of structural aesthetics expressed in modern structural fashion design and the construction method to maximize such an effect on the basis of the construction characteristic of Santiago Calatrava as the representative architect of the structural aesthetic. According to the study, the structural aesthetics expressed in modern structural fashion design are as follows: 1) The symbolical formative aesthetic expressed by symbolical inference and analyzation; 2) the dynamic beauty of physic expressed by visual emphasis and dynamics; and 3) the asymmetric beauty of symmetry expressed by metastasis toward the boundary between balance and imbalance. In addition, to maximize structural aesthetics, we used repetition and a progressive technique based on rhythm, asymmetry, and incision-based variances, such as balance, polygon flux, and inference, and analyzation-based distortion as the structuring principle. The following expression methods for maximizing structural aesthetics were found: 1) symbolical and structural exaggeration of appearance; 2) detail technique expansion and material property diversification; and 3) the three-dimensional transformation of structure and shell expression. Structural fashion design was found to have maximized structural aesthetics by using such expression methods to secure artistic esthetics, destroy existing shapes and patterns, and create unique shapes.
