기존 교량을 일체식 교대 교량과 같이 거동할 수 있도록 교대 흉벽과 상부슬래브를 일체화하는 흉 벽 일체식 교대 교량 공법에 관한 것으로, 교대 흉벽은 뒤채움 토사의 토압을 주요 하중으로 설계되기 때문에 배면부에는 휨보강 철근이 배치되지만 흉벽 일체화에 따른 흉벽 전면부에 온도팽창에 저항하 기에 부족한 철근량을 가지게 된다. 본 실험 연구는 일체화된 흉벽 구조체의 단차부 전면에 부착-정 착방식으로 제작된 FRP 보강체를 사용하여 휨 실험을 수행하고 이를 비교 분석하였다.

최근의 국제사회는 경제성장에 따른 기상이변의 방지를 위한 국가 간 기후변화협력 체결(1992년)을 시작으로 환경 오염물질 배출 저감을 요구하고 있다(Moon et al, 2014). 따라서 최근에는 전 세계적으로 지구온난화와 기후변화의 원인이 되는 온실가스의 발생을 줄 이고자 노력하고 있으며, 건설 산업은 이러한 온실가스 배출량의 주요 원인으로 인식되고 있다(Kong et al., 2016) 교량 건설사업이 환 경에 미치는 정도를 전과정평가(Life Cycle Assessment, LCA)방법을 활용하여 재료 및 공법의 지속가능성에 대한 객관적, 정량적 평가 체계를 구축하고자한다. 본 연구에서는 선행적으로 국내외 환경성적표지제도(Environment Product Declaration, EPD), 탄소발자국(Carbon footprint) 등을 분석함으로써, LCA 관련 제도에 대한 전반적인 동향을 파악하였다. 그다음, 국제적으로 통용되고 있는 제품 범주 규칙 (PCR)과 환경제품선언(EPD) 사례를 분석하여 LCA 관련 분석 범위를 확인했으며, 전과정영향평가(LCIA) 방법론과 국내외 LCI DB(Ecoinvent, Athena Pavement LCA, LCA PAVE 등)을 분석함으로써 국내외 환경 영향인자 관련 기술자료를 확보하였다. 또한, 건설 자재, 시공, 유지 관리 관련 설계 명세서, 표준품셈, 단가 산출표를 분석함으로써, 자재 투입량, 장비 연료 소모량에 대한 기초 DB를 도출하였다. 기존 프로그램을 토대로 고속도로 온실가스 산정 프로그램을 개발하여 건설자재, 수송, 시공, 유지 관리 단계에서의 탄소 배출량 산정 사례 분석을 수행했다. 교량 분야는 STEEL BOX교를 선정했다. 이에대하여 건설자재. 시공, 수송, 유지관리에 탄소배출량 을 산정하였다. 산정된 결과를 바탕으로 LCA분석의 기틀을 마련하였으며, 이를 통하여 추후 추가적인 기초 DB를 추가하여 교량 분야 전과정평가 LCA를 분석하기 위한 플랫폼을 제작할 예정이다.

겨울철 국내 도로 결빙으로 인한 교통사고가 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있으며 2018년~2022년까지 총 4,609건의 결빙 교통사고가 발 생하였다. 결빙 교통사고의 치사율은 2.3으로 일반적인 교통사고와 비교하여 높은 치사율을 보이며 최근 5년(2018~2022)동안 결빙 교 통사고로 인하여 107명이 사망자와 7,728명의 부상자가 발생하였다. 현재 국토교통부에서 제시한 결빙 취약구간 평가기준표에 따라 결 빙 위험 구간을 지정하고 있으나, 해당 기준은 결빙의 주요 요인으로 고려되는 기상조건을 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 도로 결빙은 노면온도가 0℃ 이하이며 노면에 수분이 공급될 때 형성되며 기온, 구름량, 풍속, 풍향, 상대습도, 강수량 등의 기상인자들이 복합적으 로 작용하여 결빙이 발생한다는 점을 고려하였을 때, 기상 특성은 도로 결빙의 주요 인자로 판단된다. 따라서 국내 결빙 취약구간 평 가기준의 개선이 필요하며 본 연구의 목적은 국내 결빙 교통사고 데이터를 분석하고 결빙이 형성되는 기상 조건을 구체화하는 것이다. 분석을 위한 데이터로 2018년~2022년까지 5년동안 발생한 결빙사고 사례와 기상청 방재기상관측소(AWS)에서 제공하는 기상 데이터 를 적용하였다. 이후, 박스도표, 확률밀도함수 등의 통계분석을 적용하여 결빙 형성 기상 조건을 구체화하였다. 이를 통하여 기존 결빙 취약구간 평가기준의 기상학적 개선 방향성을 제시할 수 있으며 더 나아가 도로 결빙 예측 로직 개발을 기대할 수 있다.

This study investigated the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JSA22-fermented rice drinks on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Twenty-four mice were randomly assigned; No colitis (Con), colitis with tap water (DSS-only), colitis with unfermented rice (DSS-UFR), and colitis with fermented rice (DSS-FR). After inducing colitis with 2% DSS for 5 days, they were given Tap water, UFR drink, or FR drink for an additional 6 days. The DSS-FR group had significantly lower Disease Activity Index (DAI) scores compared to the DSS-only group, but no significant difference with the DSS-UFR group. Colon length was reduced in the DSS-only group. The DSS-only group had significantly higher IL-6 mRNA levels compared to the Con group, while the DSS-FR groups showed significantly lower IL-6 mRNA levels compared to the DSS-only group. These results suggest that rice drinks fermented with Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum JSA22 ameliorate the severity of DSS-colitis, by potentially reducing proinflammatory cytokines.

전 세계 해양의 대부분을 차지하는 공해는 해양바이오산업 성장에 필수적인 귀중한 해양 자원을 보유하고 있다. 이러한 글로 벌 노력의 최전선에는 한국의 공해 자원 확보 및 기초효능(기초물질) 탐사사업이 있다. 이 연구는 대중의 인식을 측정하고 프로젝트의 이 점을 정량화하여 향후 정책 결정에 대한 통찰력을 제공하고자 했다. 결과에 따르면, 연평균 지불의사액(WTP)은 3,778.8원으로, 전체 국민 으로 확장하면 약 815.4억 원에 해당하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 의미는 두 가지이다. WTP를 기반으로 공해상 해양생명자원 확보의 경제적 가치는 연간 약 815억 원에 달할 정도로 상당하다. 이는 투자에 대한 WTP를 고려할 때 향후 정책 수립을 위한 중요한 참고 자료 로 제공 가능하다. 해양생물자원에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 반면, 대중의 인식은 상대적으로 낮은 편이다. 그러나 본 사업은 해양바이 오산업에 필수적인 데이터베이스를 구축하고 국제 해양생물자원을 확보하는데 있어서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 대중의 관심과 지속적인 지원은 이 사업 뿐만 아니라 향후 정책 구현에도 매우 중요하다. 대중의 인식을 높이는 전략은 필수적이며, 연구 결과는 향후 정책 결정 에 귀중한 의견을 제공한다.

In this study, quality properties of rapeseed oil by different roasting temperatures (140, 160, 180, and 200℃) were investigated. Roasted-pressed oil (RPO) showed a decrease in lightness and an increase in redness and yellowness with an increase in temperature compared to cold-pressed oil (CPO). In addition, the β-carotene and tocopherol content also increased in RPO as the roasting temperature increased. The tocopherol content increased by 18~20% in RPO at 200℃ compared to CPO. This increase in bioactive components led to improved radical scavenging activity dependent on roasting temperature, and RPO at 200°C showed a 2.7-fold improvement compared to CPO. Finally, it was observed that higher roasting temperatures resulted in an extended oxidation induction period, increasing by up to 3.3 times. In conclusion, roasting is an effective method for enhancing the oil functionality of domestic rapeseed varieties. This study provides basic data for producing high-quality oil.

In this study, the biogeochemistry management (BGC-MAN) model was applied to North and South Korea pine and oak forest stands to evaluate the Net Primary Productivity (NPP), an indicator of forest ecosystem productivity. For meteorological information, historical records and East Asian climate scenario data of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) were used. For vegetation information, pine (Pinus densiflora) and oak (Quercus spp.) forest stands were selected at the Gwangneung and Seolmacheon in South Korea and Sariwon, Sohung, Haeju, Jongju, and Wonsan, which are known to have tree nurseries in North Korea. Among the biophysical information, we used the elevation model for topographic data such as longitude, altitude, and slope direction, and the global soil database for soil data. For management factors, we considered the destruction of forests in North and South Korea due to the Korean War in 1950 and the subsequent reforestation process. The overall mean value of simulated NPP from 1991 to 2100 was 5.17 Mg C ha-1, with a range of 3.30-8.19 Mg C ha-1. In addition, increased variability in climate scenarios resulted in variations in forest productivity, with a notable decline in the growth of pine forests. The applicability of the BGC-MAN model to the Korean Peninsula was examined at a time when the ecosystem process-based models were becoming increasingly important due to climate change. In this study, the data on the effects of climate change disturbances on forest ecosystems that was analyzed was limited; therefore, future modeling methods should be improved to simulate more precise ecosystem changes across the Korean Peninsula through processbased models.

In this study, the performances of H2S, NH3, and HCl sensors for real-time monitoring in small emission facilities (4, 5 grades in Korea) were evaluated at high concentration conditions of those gases. And the proper approach for the collection of reliable measurement data by sensors was suggested through finding out the effect on sensor performances according to changes in temperature and humidity (relative humidity, RH) settings. In addition, an assessment on sensor data correction considering the effects produced by environmental settings was conducted. The effects were tested in four different conditions of temperature and humidity. The sensor performances (reproducibility, precision, lower detection limit (LDL), and linearity) were good for all three sensors. The intercept (ADC0) values for all three sensors were good for the changes of temperature and humidity conditions. The variation in the slope value of the NH3 sensor showed the highest value, and this was followed by the HCl, H2S sensors. The results of this study can be helpful for data collection by enabling the more reliable and precise measurements of concentrations measured by sensors.

The fungus Alternaria alternata, responsible for causing brown to black spotting on numerous fruits and vegetables globally, was identified in 2022 as the causative pathogen of brown spot disease in potatoes in Korea. In pursuing potential inhibitors against A. alternata growth, we evaluated 15 mushroom culture filtrates: eight from Trametes spp. and seven from Polyporus spp., known for their antibacterial and anticancer properties. Antifungal activity was assessed by exposing each filtrate to A. alternata on a paper disc. Four filtrates displayed inhibitory action against the fungus, albeit with mild effects. Our findings highlight the potential of Trametes and Polyporus fungi as emerging antifungal candidates, offering promise in preventing potato brown spots.

Recently, due to the expansion of the logistics industry, demand for logistics automation equipment is increasing. The modern logistics industry is a high-tech industry that combines various technologies. In general, as various technologies are grafted, the complexity of the system increases, and the occurrence rate of defects and failures also increases. As such, it is time for a predictive maintenance model specialized for logistics automation equipment. In this paper, in order to secure the operational safety and reliability of the parcel loading system, a predictive maintenance platform was implemented based on the Naive Bayes-LSTM(Long Short Term Memory) model. The predictive maintenance platform presented in this paper works by collecting data and receiving data based on a RabbitMQ, loading data in an InMemory method using a Redis, and managing snapshot DB in real time. Also, in this paper, as a verification of the Naive Bayes-LSTM predictive maintenance platform, the function of measuring the time for data collection/storage/processing and determining outliers/normal values was confirmed. The predictive maintenance platform can contribute to securing reliability and safety by identifying potential failures and defects that may occur in the operation of the parcel loading system in the future.

This study attempted to provide implications by analyzing the impact of business Owner’s safety commitment on industrial accidents and examining the mediating role of management supervisors’ safety leadership and worker participation. Analysis was conducted on 2,067 manufacturing sites with 20 to 50 employees in the 10th Occupational Safety and Health Survey data. SPSS waw used to secure the reliability of the measurement variable. Hypothesis vertification was carried out after securing the suitability and validity of the structural model using AMOS. The direct impact of three latent variables on industrial accidents was confirmed: the business owner’s safety commitment, the management supervisor’s safety leadership, and the worker participation. The employer’s safety will and the management supervisor’s safety leadership do not directly affect industial accidents, but it has been verified that worker participation has a diret impact on industrial accident reduction. In addition, it has been confirmed that the safety leadership and worker participation of the management. Supervior have a complete mediating effect on the reduction of industrial accidents by mediating with the safety leadership of the management supervior and the participation of the workers. This study analyzed the impact on industrial accidents by dividing the stakeholders constituting the workplace into three classes: business owners, superviors, and workers, but the results suggest that employers and all workers inside the workplace may be organically linked to achieving the goal of reducing industrial accidents. Therefore, in order to establish an autonomous safety management system for safety and health at workerplaces, efforts are needed to reduce industrial accidents in their respective location by forming an organic community among internal stakeholders.

Conventional aquaculture faces declining productivity, shifting to recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), known for minimizing water usage and maintaining consistent water temperatures for year-round fish growth. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a globally important cold-water species and the third most farmed fish in inland waters of Korea, valued for its fecundity and rapid growth. Dissolved oxygen, an important environmental factor affecting fish production and economics, highlights the need for smart aquaculture practices. Since 2018, the rise of intelligent aquaculture platforms, incorporating information and communications technology (ICT), emphasizes the essential role of RAS implementation. This eight-week study aimed to determine the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS, utilizing a device for continuous monitoring, control and record. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were set at 5-6 mg/L, 9-10 mg/L, 14-15 mg/L and 17-18 mg/L. The growth rate significantly decreased at 5-6 mg/L, with no significant differences in other experimental groups. In hematological analysis, growth hormone (GH) was significantly highest at 5-6 mg/L, followed by 9-10 mg/L while Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was significantly lowest at 5-6 mg/L. In conclusion, the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS is approximately 9-10 mg/L. Higher concentrations do not contribute to further growth or profitability.

In the last five decades, there has been a consistent decline in the total catch of fisheries in the Korean jurisdiction since the peak in 1986. The decline in catch slowed and slightly rebounded in the 2000s, but changed back to a decline in the 2010s. As indicators that can identify changes in the marine ecosystem, trophic level (TL), biodiversity index (H'), and the ratio between pelagic fish and demersal fish (P/D) were analyzed by each local marine ecosystem. There were some different changes in each local marine ecosystem, but the mean TL and H' decreased and P/D increased in general in Korean waters. Demersal fish, which were dominant in the 1970s and 1980s, declined, and small pelagic fish and cephalopods have dominantly changed since the 1990s. However, these changes are not simple, and they are fluctuating in complex ways relating to each marine ecosystem and the timing. It is believed that changes in marine ecosystems in Korean waters are likely caused by a combination of fisheries and climate change. The ecosystem indicators reflected a change in the total catch, a sharp drop in catch of demersal fish, and increasing catch of pelagic fish since the mid-1980s.

Korean melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an environment in which most farming work can affect the increase in musculoskeletal diseases, and the stems are attracted to the ground in order to grow no-heating cultivation. In this study, growth and productivity were compared according to the type of high-bed. The narrower the surface area at the bottom of the high-bed, the faster the initial growth, which was advantageous. The bed is which the height if 70 cm, the surface temperature has risen due to the increase in direct solar radiation inflow since April, requiring side light blocking to block the inflow of solar radiation. In terms of fruit quality, the 200 cm width treatment had higher fruit sugar content and better hardness than the 160 cm treatment. From April to September, the total yield was 6.8 kg/plant of treatment A, 8.7 kg/plant of treatment B, 5.8 kg/plant of treatment C, treatment B mainly 50% higher than treatment C, and 27% higher than treatment A. Therefore, the bed form suitable for Korean melon high bed is 200 cm wide, 40 cm high between the surface and the bed, and the surface of the passage between the beds is 30cm high from the ground to the bed.
