본고는 『삼국연의』의 여성인물이 소설 속에서 어떻게 형상화 되었는지 살펴본 후, 여성 형상의 특징을 정리하였는데, 여성 등장인물은 자신만의 목소리나 감정을 발산하지 않고 개인적 욕망이 없는 것처럼 그려졌다. 『삼국연의』가 삭제해도 무방한 여성인물들을 ‘自我가 없는 존재’로 형상화한 것은 작가의 서사전략이다. 작가는 이들 여성인물들을 이용하여 중심인물들을 부각하고, 영웅을 판별하는 잣대로 이용했으며, ‘忠’이라는 이데올로기를 강화하기 위한 서사전략으로 활용하였다.

Nano-sized ZnSe particles are successfully synthesized in an aqueous solution at room temperature using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and thioglycolic acid (TGA) as the reducing agent and stabilizer, respectively. The effects of the mass ratio of the reducing agent to Se, stabilizer concentration, and stirring time on the synthesis of the ZnSe nanoparticles are evaluated. The light absorption/emission properties of the synthesized nanoparticles are characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and particle size analyzer (PSA) techniques. At least one mass ratio (NaBH4/Se) of the reducing agent should be added to produce ZnSe nanoparticles finer than 10 nm and to absorb UV–vis light shorter than the ZnSe bulk absorption wavelength of 460 nm. As the ratio of the reducing agent increases, the absorption wavelengths in the UV-vis curves are blue-shifted. Stirring in the atmosphere acts as a deterrent to the reduction reaction and formation of nanoparticles, but if not stirred in the atmosphere, the result is on par with synthesis in a nitrogen atmosphere. The stabilizer, TGA, has an impact on the Zn precursor synthesis. The fabricated nanoparticles exhibit excellent photo-absorption/discharge characteristics, suggesting that ZnSe nanoparticles can be alloyed without the need for organic solutions or high-temperature environments.

Background: The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) for Dyspnea was developed to assess multidimensional dyspnea using two subscales (experience of dyspnea and functional limitation) and a total score. Objects: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the FACIT-dyspnea 10-item short form questionnaire (FACIT-dyspnea-K). Methods: Subjects were 163 patients with cancer. Dyspnea-related scales (modified Medical Research Council scale [mMRC], European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 [EORTC QLQ-C30], Hospital Anxiety and Depression [HAD], and WHO Performance Scale) were used to validate the FACIT-dyspnea-K. Results: Internal consistency was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.90 and 0.95 in factors 1 and 2, respectively. Convergence validity was determined by comparing the two factors and total score of the FACIT-dyspnea-K with conceptually related assessment tools measuring the physical and emotional effects of dyspnea, with which correlations ranged from 0.364 to 0.567. Criterion validity was established by significant differences in the FACITdyspnea- K score between groups when the patients were classified by performance status as assessed by the WHO performance scale. Furthermore, the FACIT-dyspnea-K showed notable correlations with other dyspnea scales (mMRC, EORTC QLQ-C30, and HAD) for cancer patients (r = 0.28 to 0.54). The test-retest reliability of the two factors and total score of the FACITdyspnea- K appeared to be excellent (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.96 to 0.97). Conclusion: This study supports FACIT-dyspnea-K as a valid and reliable instrument to assess the dyspnea experience of cancer patients in clinical settings.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence, toxin gene profiles, and enterotoxin producing ability of Bacillus cereus isolated from environment-friendly vegetables and good agricultural practices (GAP) vegetables. A total of 49 vegetables including 40 environment-friendly vegetables and 9 GAP vegetables were tested. The Vitek 2 system was used to identify B. cereus and the PCR was used to detect 6 toxin genes, respectively. B. cereus was detected in 34 (69.3%) of 49 vegetables and the prevalence of B. cereus in GAP vegetables (44.4%) was lower than in the environment-friendly vegetables (75.0%). The detection rates of entFM, nheA, hblC, and cytK enterotoxin genes, respectively, among all isolates were 100%, 97.0%, 88.2%, and 73.5%, respectively. All of the isolates had at least one or more enterotoxin gene and 20 isolates (58.8%) had hemolysin BL enterotoxin producing ability. The risk of food poisoning from the environment-friendly vegetables and the GAP vegetables has been shown as constant. Thus, it is necessary to expand the supply of GAP vegetables showing lower B. cereus contamination than the environment-friendly vegetables. The characteristics of the environment-friendly vegetables and the GAP vegetables that must be consumed after cleaning should be disseminated to consumers regarding food poisoning prevention.

The convergence of artificial intelligence with smart factories or smart mechanical systems has been actively studied to maximize the efficiency and safety. Despite the high improvement of artificial neural networks, their application in the manufacturing industry has been difficult due to limitations in obtaining meaningful data from factories or mechanical systems. Accordingly, there have been active studies on manufacturing components with sensor integration allowing them to generate important data from themselves. Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of a net shaped product with various materials including plastic, metal, or ceramic parts. With the principle of layer-bylayer adhesion of material, there has been active research to utilize this multi-step manufacturing process, such as changing the material at a certain step of adhesion or adding sensor components in the middle of the additive manufacturing process. Particularly for smart parts manufacturing, researchers have attempted to embed sensors or integrated circuit boards within a three-dimensional component during the additive manufacturing process. While most of the sensor embedding additive manufacturing was based on polymer material, there have also been studies on sensor integration within metal or ceramic materials. This study reviews the additive manufacturing technology for sensor integration into plastic, ceramic, and metal materials.

본 독도 연안 해역에서 2019년 계절적 수환경 특성과 식물플랑크톤 군집구조 변화 특성을 파악하고, 2018년 과 2019년 특성을 비교하고자 두 연도의 4계절 수층별 조사가 수행되었다. 2019년에는 총 4문 69종의 식물플랑크톤이 관찰되었고, 평균 식물플랑크톤 개체수는 1.90×104 cells L-1로 매우 낮게 나타났다. 동계에는 평균 3.19×104 cells L-1로 대부분 미동정 편모류가 우점하였고, 춘계에는 3.12×104 cells L-1로 역시 편모류가 약 50%를 차지하였으며, P. obtusidens를 포함한 다양한 와편모조류가 출현한 특징이 있었다. 하계 개체수는 0.46×104 cells L-1로 매우 낮은 개체수와 종이 나타났고, 추계에는 평균 개체수가 0.89×104 cells L-1로 낮았으며, 여러 종의 Chaetoceros와 함께 Bacteriastrum spp., Guinardia striata, Psuedo-nitzschia spp. 과 같은 규조류가 다양하게 나타났다. 또한, 2018년 추계와 동일하게 열대 지표종인 Ornithocercus sp.와 Amphisolenia sp.가 관찰되었다. 2019년에는 대마난류와 남해 연안의 영향을 받은 종이 출현하였지만, 전반적으로 매우 낮은 개체수를 보이며 편모조류가 우점한 특징이 있었다. 식물플랑크톤 다양성은 2018년 하계와 2019년 동계에 높게 나타났고, 군집분석에서도 계절에 상관없이 크게 4개 그룹으로 구분되었다. 2018년과 2019년 수환경은 특이적으로 춘계에 성층이 약하게 형성되었고, 2018년 추계에는 하계와 동일하게 수괴가 안정되어 식물플랑크톤이 대증식한 것으로 사료된다. 식물플랑크톤 군집 및 개체수는 하계를 제외하고 계절별 우점 종의 차이를 보였으며, 이차이는 추계에 가장 뚜렷하였다. 따라서 독도 연안 해역은 일반적인 동해의 특성과는 다르게, 외해역임에도 불구하고 얕은 지형과 다양한 해류, 섬효과 등과 같은 복합적인 영향으로 연도별 계절별 특성이 다르게 나타날 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

본 연구는 ABTS radical 소거 활성을 통한 항산화 활성, RAW 264.7 대식 세포에서의 세포 독성, DCF-DA assay을 통한 세포 내 ROS 생성 억제 효과, 항균력을 측정하여 구아바 잎 추출물이 화장품 소재로써의 활용 가능성을 검토하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 구아바 잎 추출물의 우수한 ABTS radical 소거능을 확인하였다. RAW 264.7 대식세포에서의 세포 독성은 나타나지 않았으며 세포 내에서 ROS 생성량 은 농도 의존적으로 감소하는 억제효과를 확인하였다. 또한 구아바 잎 추출물의 항균력 분석에서는 피부상 재균인 S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans, P. acnes 균주들에서 항균 활성이 확인되었으며, 각 균주에 대한 최소 저해 농도(MIC)는 대체로 0.25 - 1 mg/mL의 수준으로서 P. acnes ≃ S. aureus < E. coli < C. albican 순의 낮은 농도로 측정되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 구아바 잎 추출물의 항산화 활성과 세포 내 ROS 생성 억제 효과, 피부에 염증을 유발하는 피부상재균에 대한 항균력이 확인됨에 따라 독성이나 부작 용이 없는 기능성 화장품 소재로써의 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Thoracic spine self-mobilization exercise is commonly used to manage patients with neck pain. However, no previous studies have investigated the effects of thoracic spine self-mobilization exercise alone in patients with chronic neck pain. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of thoracic self-mobilization using a tool on cervical range of motion (ROM), disability level, upper body posture, pain and fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) in patients with chronic neck pain. Methods: The subjects were 49 patients (21 males, 28 females) with chronic neck pain. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG, n = 23) and control group (CG, n = 26). For the EG, thoracic self-mobilization was applied. We placed a tool (made with 2 tennis balls) under 3 different vertebral levels (T1-4, T5-8, T9-12) of the thoracic spine and the subjects performed crunches, which included thoracic flexion and extension in supine position. Five times × 3 sets for each levels, twice a week, for 4 weeks. Cervical pain, disability, upper body posture, FABQ results, and ROM were evaluated at baseline, after 4 weeks of intervention, and at 8 weeks of follow-up. Assessments included the quadruple visual analogue scale (QVAS); Northwick Park neck pain questionnaire (NPQ); craniovertebral angles (CVA), forward shoulder angle (FSA) and kyphosis angle (KA) measurements for upper body posture; FABQ and cervical ROM testing. Results: The EG showed a statistically significant improvement after intervention in the QVAS (–51.16%); NPQ (–53.46%); flexion (20.95%), extension (25.32%), left rotation (14.04%), and right rotation (25.32%) in the ROM of the cervical joint; KA (–7.14%); CVA (9.82%); and FSA (–4.12%). Conclusion: These results suggest that, for patients with chronic neck pain, thoracic selfmobilization exercise using a tool (tennis balls) is effective to improve neck pain, disability level, the ROM, and upper body posture.

The chemical informs about 70 individual phenolic compounds were constructed from various lettuce samples based on literature sources and analytical data. A total of 30 phenolic compounds including quercetin 3-O-glucuronide, quercetin 3-O-(6''-O- malonyl) glucoside, cyanidin 3-O-(6''-O-malonyl)glucoside, chlorogenic acid and chicoric acid as major components were identified in 6 lettuce samples from Korea using UPLC-DAD-QToF/MS on the basis of constructed library. Among these, quercetin 3,7-di-O-glucoside(m/z 627 [M+H]+), quercetin 3-O-(2''-O-malonyl)glucoside(morkotin C, m/z 551 [M+H]+), quercetin 3-O-(6''- O-malonyl)glucoside methyl ester(m/z 565 [M+H]+), 5-O-cis-p-coumaroylquinic acid(m/z 339 [M+H]+) and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester(m/z 369 [M+H]+) were newly confirmed from the lettuce samples. In total content of phenolic compounds, 4 red lettuce samples(2,947.7~7,535.6 mg/100 g, dry weight) showed higher than green lettuce(2,687.3 mg) and head lettuce(320.1 mg).

Red Chinese cabbage is rich in anthocyanins, with beneficial effects on anti-obesity and lipid profiles. The purpose of this study was to examine the anti-obesity effects of red Chinese cabbage. Four-weeks old Spague-Dawley male rats were divided into four groups for six weeks as follow: Normal Diet (ND), High Fat Diet (HFD), HFD + Red Chinese Cabbage Diet (RCD), HFD + Red Chinese Cabbage Juice (RCJD). After six weeks, the liver weight was significantly higher in the HFD group than in the other groups, and the RCD and RCJD groups showed similar values to the ND group. The epididymal fats were significantly higher in all high fat diets (HFD, RCD, RCJD) than in the ND group and there was statistical significance in the post-tests when comparing the RCD and RCJD groups with the HFD group. Triglycerides significantly decreased in the RCD group. In conclusion, red Chinese cabbage is rich in anthocyanins, with beneficial effects on organ weight and lipid profiles.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of Codonopsis lanceolata 50% ethanol extract, and its solvent fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EA), n-butanol, water). The main components of the EA fraction were qualitatively analyzed using UPLC Q-ToF/MS. Additionally, a quantitative analysis was performed using UPLC. As a result, the total polyphenol content was 113.36 mg gallic acid/g in the EA fraction, which contained the largest amount of the C. lancolata solvent fractions. Also EA showed the highest antioxidant activity than other fractions. The IC50 of DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was 0.03 mg/mL and the IC50 of ABTS [2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)] radical scavenging activity was 0.049 mg/mL. The EA fraction showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity than other fractions and especially inhibited monophenolase oxidase reaction higher than diphenolase oxidase reaction. The monophenolase oxidase inhibited 55% when the concentration of the EA fraction was 0.25 mg/mL. As a result of Q-ToF/MS analysis, it was confirmed that tangshenoside I and lobetyolin were the main components of EA fraction. Thus, these results suggest that C. lanceolata may be used as a potent source of cosmetic agents.

본 논문에서는 폭발하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 비선형 해석을 위한 개선된 수치 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 2축 응력 상태를 반영한 등가 강도에 의해 정의된 응력-변형률 관계를 사용하여 응력 상태를 직접 결정하는 변형률 속도 의존 이등방성 구성 모델을 다룬다. 또한, 균열 발생 후 콘크리트와 철근 사이의 부착 슬립이 점차 확대되어 소성힌지 영역으로 집중된다. 2축 응력 상태에서 콘크리트의 균열 방향은 주응력 방향에 따라 달라지므로 이를 고려한 부착 슬립 모델을 해석에 도입하였다. 해석 모델의 검증을 위해 수치해석과 실험결과의 상관관계 연구(correlation studies)가 수행되었다. 해석 결과는 재료모델의 2축 거동과 부착 슬립의 영향을 고려하는 것이 해석결과의 정확성 향상에 중요함을 보여주며 제안된 해석 모델이 철근콘크리트 슬래브 부재의 폭발해석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 286명의 사관생도들을 대상으로 종단적 연구를 통해 그릿이 다양한 성과 변수들에 미치는 영향을 탐색적으로 분석하였다. 핵심자기평가를 통제한 상태에서 그릿은 성과 변수에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여러 시점에 성과 변수들을 측정한 결과, 그릿은 리더십 역량진단 점수, 주관적 성과, 생활태도 점수, 그리고 자기개발 점수에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그릿의 두 가지 하위차원 중에서는 꾸준한 노력이 지속적 관심보다 더 강한 기준관련 타당도를 나타내었다. 특히 자기보고식으로 측정된 꾸준한 노력은 모든 측정시점의 리더십 역량진단 점수, 생활태도 점수, 자기개발 점수에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 자기보고식으로 측정된 지속적 관심은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 한편 일반학 성적에 대해서는 본인이 측정한 꾸준한 노력이 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 그릿을 자신이 평가했는지 타인이 평가했는지에 따라 그릿과 성과 변수들의 관계는 상이한 결과를 보여주었다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 시사점과 연구의 한계점 및 향후 연구방향이 논의 되었다.

본 연구는 감정노동 종사자들의 감정노동이 직무소진에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 스트레스대처능력과 사회적지원의 매개효과를 검증함으로써, 감정노동종사자들의 건강한 삶을 위한 다양한 교육 및 상담프로그램 등을 개발하여 확장하는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과, 감정노동이 직무소진에 미치는 영향을 확인하였으며, 스트레스대처능력과 사회적지원이 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 스트레스대처능력과 사회적지 원이 직무소진을 완화시키는데 중요한 변수임을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 개인과 조직차원에서 감정노동종사자들의 정신건강 증진을 위해서 직무소진의 유발요인을 파악하고 직무소진을 완화시킬 수 있는 대책을 마련해야 할 필요성이 있다.
