이 논문은 W. B. 예이츠가 민주주의적 시인이었던 월트 휘트먼에게서 영향을 받아 출발했음에도 불구하고, 후기에는 권위주의에 이끌리는 복잡한 사상적 변 화를 겪었음을 고찰한다. 예이츠는 초기에 휘트먼이 제시한 ‘민중과 함께하는 시인의 이상’을 받아들였지만, 시간이 흐르며 대중 민주주의에 환멸을 느끼고 혼란과 문화적 수준 저하를 초래한다고 판단했다. 그는 엘리트주의적인 미학과 신비주의적 역사관을 통해 점차 권위와 질서를 옹호하는 방향으로 나아갔다. 이 연구는 아일랜드 독립 등 당시 역사적 상황과 함께 두 시인의 주요 작품을 면밀히 분석하고, 민주주의와 권위주 의 사이에서 갈등하는 현대 시인의 역할과 그 미학적 긴장을 조명하고자 한다.

에듀테크 시대에 접어들면서 디지털 기술을 활용한 학습 방식이 점점 확대되고 있으며, 특히 모바일 기반 애플리케이션 을 활용한 학습이 적극적으로 도입되고 있다. 이러한 학습 방식은 학습자의 참여도를 높이고, 흥미를 유발하며, 학습 효율성 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 자기공명영상학 학습에서 모바일 기반 애플리 케이션 사용에 대한 학습자들의 인식, 학습 효과, 학습 만족도를 알아보고자 하였다. 대구시 소재 S 대학교 자기공명영 상학을 수강한 2, 3학년 학생 70명을 대상으로 2024년 11월 24일부터 29일까지 수업 후 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 퀴즈 활동을 시행하였다. 연구 결과, 애플리케이션 활용에 대한 학습자들의 인식 평균 점수는 4.58±0.66, 학습 효과는 4.61±0.62, 학습 만족도는 4.58±0.65로 나타났다. 또한, 애플리케이션 활용 전후 비교 분석에서 인식 (활용 전 3.62±0.97, 활용 후 4.58±0.66), 학습 효과(활용 전 3.60±0.92, 활용 후 4.61±0.62), 학습 만족도(활용 전 3.64±0.93, 활용 후 4.58±0.65) 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과는 자기공명영상학 교육에서 모바일 애플리케이션 기반 학습이 학습자의 참여도, 이해도, 만족도를 높이는 데 효과적임을 시사한다. 따라서 자기공명영상학뿐만 아니라 다양한 전공 분야에서도 애플리케이션 기반 학습이 유용한 교육 도구로 활용될 수 있으며, 향후 교육 및 임상 실습 현장에서 적용 가능한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것 기대된다.

본 연구는 방사형 K-공간 획득 기법 중 하나인 JET 기법을 적용하여 어깨관절 자기공명영상 검사에서의 움직임 인공물과 노이즈를 감소 효과를 평가하였다. 2023년 2월 1일부터 3월 31일까지 어깨관절 자기공명영상 검사를 받 은 35명을 대상으로 선정하여 후향적으로 분석하였다. 평가는 JET 기법 적용 여부에 따라 신호 대 노이즈 비, 평균 대 표준편차 비, 움직임 인공물 발생 여부에 대한 영상 평가를 수행하였다. JET 기법을 적용한 그룹에서는 신호 대 노이즈 비, 평균 대 표준편차 비, 움직임 인공물 발생 여부에 대한 영상 평가 값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 본 연구를 통해 어깨관절 자기공명영상 검사 시 JET 기법의 도입은 움직임 인공물의 감소뿐만 아니라 신호 대 노이즈 비와 평균 대 표준편차 비가 향상된 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 JET 기법이 어깨관절 영상 취득에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 더 나아가 다양한 부위에 적용되는데 있어 서도 기여할 수 있을것으로 예상된다.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate a systematic design’s effectivity in remediating actual uranium-contaminated soil. The emphasis was placed on practical and engineering aspects, particularly in assessing the capabilities of a zero liquid discharge system in treating wastewater derived from soil washing. The research method involved a purification procedure for both the uranium-contaminated soil and its accompanying wastewater. Notably, the experimental outcomes demonstrated successful uranium separation from the contaminated soil. The treated soil could be self-disposed of, as its uranium concentration fell below 1.0 Bq·g−1, a level endorsed by the International Atomic Energy Agency for radionuclide clearance. The zero liquid discharge system’s significance lay in its distillation process, which not only facilitated the reuse of water from the separated filtrate but also allowed for the self-disposal of high-purity Na2SO4 within the residues of the distilled filtrate. Through a comparative economic analysis involving direct disposal and the application of a remediation process for uranium-contaminated soil, the comprehensive zero liquid discharge system emerged as a practical and viable choice. The successful demonstration of the design and practicality of the proposed zero liquid discharge system for treating wastewater originating from real uranium-contaminated soil is poised to have a lasting impact.

Background: Choosing to perform squats on an unstable surface potentially offers advantages surpassing those of their stable counterpart. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activation during squats on stable and unstable surfaces and investigate the relationship among thigh muscles. Design: Observational study. Methods: Nineteen adults participated in this study. The stable surface consisted of a flat floor. The unstable surface involved the use of an air cushion. An air cushion was positioned beneath each foot of the study participants. Surface electromyography was employed to measure muscle activation. %MVC was calculated by measuring muscle activation during squat execution and manual muscle testing. Results: The comparison of muscle activation during squats between stable and unstable surfaces revealed a significant difference in the rectus femoris and biceps femoris (P<.05). On stable surfaces, positive correlations were observed in the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis (P<.05). On unstable surfaces, positive correlations were found between the rectus femoris and vastus medialis (P<.05). Conclusion: This study observed an increase in muscle activation of the rectus femoris and biceps femoris during squats on an unstable support surface compared to a stable support surface.

Background: Coating a culture plate with molecules that aid in cell adhesion is a technique widely used to produce animal cell cultures. Extracellular matrix (ECM) is known for its efficiency in promoting adhesion, survival, and proliferation of adherent cells. Gelatin, a cost-effective type of ECM, is widely used in animal cell cultures including feeder-free embryonic stem (ES) cells. However, the optimal concentration of gelatin is a point of debate among researchers, with no studies having established the optimal gelatin concentration. Methods: In this study, we coated plastic plates with gelatin in a concentrationdependent manner and assessed Young’s modulus using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the microstructure of the surface of each plastic plate. The adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of the ESCs were compared and analyzed revealing differences in surface microstructure dependent on coating concentration. Results: According to AFM analysis, there was a clear difference in the microstructure of the surface according to the presence or absence of the gelatin coating, and it was confirmed that there was no difference at a concentration of 0.5% or more. ES cell also confirmed the difference in cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation according to the presence or absence of gelatin coating, and also it showed no difference over the concentration of 0.5%. Conclusions: The optimum gelatin-coating for the maintenance and differentiation of ES cells is 0.5%, and the gelatin concentration-mediated microenvironment and ES cell signaling are closely correlated.

This study empirically verified the endorsement effect of a restaurant platform as a reliable third-party organization on changes in customers’ attitudes toward restaurants by measuring big data-based consumption values using customers’ reviews and applying difference-in-differences. The results indicated that endorsement effects are effective when specific cues are provided and under unusual circumstances such as the pandemic.

Since the National R&D Innovation Act was enacted in 2022, it became a crucial issue how to qualify or improve R&D activities and disseminate their outcomes. Many organizations have referred to various quality management standards such as the American National Standards Institute/American Society for Quality (ANSI/ASQ) Z1.13, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Nuclear Quality Assurance-1 (ASME NQA-1), as a means to set up their own quality system. ISO is the international standard for implementing a quality management system (QMS), which provides a framework and principles for managing an organization’s QMS, with the aim of ensuring that the organization consistently provide products or services that meet regulatory requirements. ISO 9001 can cover all aspects of an organization’s operations, and it can also be expanded to include R&D areas. The introduction of ISO 9001 to R&D aims to improve R&D practices and establish a standardized process framework for conducting R&D. ANSI/ASQ Z1.13 provides quality guidelines for research and consists of 10 sections covering various aspects of research quality, emphasizing ethical conduct, clear objectives, reliable data collection, and analysis. ASME NQA-1 is one of quality assurance standards for nuclear facility applications, but it has been extended and applied to R&D activities in the nuclear fields. It just focuses on planning, procedures, documentation, competence, equipment, and material control. KINAC has conducted extensive research on verifying and regulating nuclear activities while providing support for national nonproliferation technologies and policies. In addition to the quantitative growth achieved so far, efforts are being made to establish a qualitative and integrated management system. As a first step to achieve this goal, this study reviewed international standards and methodologies for research quality and derived the key components for R&D quality management. Moreover, the appropriate outline of quality management system framework was proposed for R&D as a regulatory support process, based on the ISO 9001. The implementation of quality management standards and procedures for R&D in KINAC, which could lead to improved research practices, more reliable data collection and analysis and increased efficiency in conducting R&D activities.
