본 연구는 거리화단 화훼경관 조성 전·후의 스트레스 변화 를 알아보기 위하여, 순창 소재의 경찰관 총 18명을 대상으로 타액 채취 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 생리 측정은 타액 코르 티솔, 혈압, 심리 측정은 식물 재배 활동 수준, 스트레스수준, 거리화단 화훼경관에 대한 간이 SD 감성을 측정하였다. 타액 코르티솔, 혈압의 사전/후 비교는 대응표본 t-test, 타액 코르 티솔, 혈압의 성별에 따른 집단간 사전/후 비교는, 독립표본 t-test, 스트레스수준, 간이 SD는 윌콕슨 부호 순위 검정 등으 로 분석하였다. 화훼경관 조성 전보다 조성 후 총 코르티솔 수 치가 낮아졌고, 식물 재배 활동 수준은 높아졌으나 통계적 유 의성은 없었다. 혈압은 여자의 경우 거리화단 화훼경관 조성 전과 조성 후 모두 정상 혈압이었고, 남자의 경우 거리화단 화 훼경관 조성 전 고혈압 전단계에서 조성 후 주의혈압으로 낮 아지는 긍정적 효과가 있었다. 거리화단 화훼경관 조성 전·후 의 스트레스수준을 총 4단계(총 4단계: 단계가 높을수록 스트 레스가 높은 수준임)로 문항 전체의 총합 수치로 알아본 결과, 화훼경관 조성 전에는 4단계(50.0%), 2단계(38.9%), 3단계 (11.1%) 순이었으나, 조성 후에는 4단계(44.5%), 2, 3단계(각 22.2%), 1단계(11.1%) 순으로 거리화단 화훼경관 조성 전에 는 1단계(정상적인 스트레스 상태로 스트레스요인 자체가 심 각하지 않거나 좋은 스트레스로 받아들인 경우)가 0%에서 조 성 후 11.1%로 높아졌다. 화훼경관 조성 전·후 SD법을 이용 하여 쾌적감, 자연감, 그리고 진정감에 대해 평가한 결과, 화 훼경관 조성 후 쾌적감, 자연감, 진정감이 높은 것으로 나타났 다(p<.05). 거리화단 화훼경관에 따른 식물 재배 활동 수준과 주요 변수간의 상관관계를 알아본 결과, 화훼경관 조성 후 식 물 재배 활동 수준과 스트레스수준, 스트레스수준과 진정감은 부(-)의 상관관계, 식물 재배 활동 수준과 쾌적감, 자연감, 진정 감과는 0.5 이상의 높은 정(+)의 상관관계가 있었다(p<.05). 따라서 식물 재배 활동 수준이 높아질수록 쾌적감, 자연감, 그 리고, 진정감은 높아지고, 거리화단 화훼경관이 없는 공간보 다 화훼경관이 있는 공간에서 쾌적감, 자연감, 그리고 진정감 을 더 크게 느끼는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서 거리화단 화훼경관을 통하여 고위험군의 높은 스트레스는 줄여주고 식 물에 대한 흥미, 관심과 심리적 안정효과는 높여 줄 수 있는 유용한 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

This study examined the methods used in household doenjang (Korean soybean paste) production. Nine hundred fortythree responses were obtained using a nationwide, questionnaire-based survey (2018-2019) with non-probabilistic snowballing sampling. Consistent with previous studies, the respondents were primarily over the age of 50 years (97.1%) and female (97.9%). In addition to soybeans, the most used ingredients were red pepper (85.8%) and charcoal (85.5%), which most respondents obtained through direct farming (50.4-59.9%). Seasonal production occurred later in the higher latitude regions (Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-do) (p < 0.01), which have lower average temperatures, and the fermentation period was shorter in the lower latitude regions (Jeolla-do, Gyeongsang-do, Jeju-do) (p < 0.01), which have higher average temperatures. There were no significant regional differences in the season when doenjang was made, with most production occurring during January and February (81.1%). Most respondents (71.3%) made doenjang using homemade meju (soybean block used as a starter) in a traditional way to allow the microorganisms to be naturally inoculated. These results could be used as a basis for future research on topics such as starter development, standardized production, and safety of household doenjang.

Background : Unlike Dioscorea japonica or Dioscore opposita, Dioscore alata is a high-temperature crop mainly cultivated in Africa and subtropical regions. Due to recent climate change, its cultivation area is expanding in Korea. In 2016, the Institute for Bioresource Research clarified optimal harvesting stage to increase its tuber yield and ensure safe storability. Methods and Results : As the seed-tubers for this study, Dioscorea alata tubers were cut into a size of 50 g, disinfected with lime powder, dentated on the seed bed with electrothermal wire installed on March 20th, and then planted on the main field on April 15th. The planting distance was 120 ㎝ in width, where the furrows of 90 ㎝ were cladded with black vinyl, in two rows with a column spacing of 25 ㎝. The amounts of applied fertilizers were 2,000 ㎏ compost, 34 ㎏ N2, 28 ㎏ P2O6, and 28 ㎏ K2O. The compost and P2O5 were used in full, where as N2 and K2O were used as original fertilizer 14 (10 ㎏) and additional fertilizer 20 (18 ㎏), respectively. The crop was harvested in six times from September 20th to November 9th, in an interval of 10 days. While harvesting, the ground fresh weight yield and underground tuber yield were investigated. The underground tuber yield was 836, 1,744 and 2,975 ㎏ low at the early harvests on September 20th, 30th, and October 10th, respectively, while it was 3,622, 3,828, 3,818 ㎏ high on October 20th, 30th, and November 9th, respectively. The ground fresh weight yield remained the same. To clarify tuber storability by harvest time, they were stored at 15℃after harvest, and then healthy and corrupt tubers were studied on March 23th. The corruption ratio by harvest time was highest at 39.1% and 29.3% on October 30th and November 9th, respectively, when frost and low temperature damaged harvest. It was 59.0% and 42.8% at the early harvests on September 20th and 30th, respectively. The corruption ratio was lowest on October 20th and October 10th at 29.3% and 39.1%, respectively. Conclusion : Ford. Dioscore alata cultivation, Korea presents a premature and disadvantageous environment with lower temperature and pre-harvest frost at the time of planting. After raising seeding on an electrically heated hot bed, the optimal harvesting stage should be from planting in the middle of April where temperature rises above 1 5℃ to harvesting in the period October 10th - 20th so as to achieve the maximum tuber yield and high storability.

The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a vascular structure connecting the proximal descending aorta to the roof of the main pulmonary artery, near the origin of the left branch pulmonary artery. Transcatheter closure has become the treatment of choice for most cases of PDA in both children and adults; however, measurement of the exact size and morphology of the shunt in adult cases using only contrast fluoroscopy is difficult. We report on a case of a 49-year-old woman who underwent transcatheter closure of PDA with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guideance. In the current case, IVUS is feasible and helpful for measuring the exact size and shape of the PDA.

Sword bean belongs to the subgenus Canavalia in the genus Canavalia. White and reddish varieties in sword bean were tested to obtain the basic information for improving the yield, quality, and cultural environments through the quantitative growth analysis. Growing plants were sampled at intervals of 10 days from 20 days after sowing. Whole plant weight increased during the period of 11-20 days after sowing in both varieties. The weight of each organ between two varieties increased similarly except leaf area. Whole plant weight changed more close to pod weight than any other characters. The leaf areas of both varieties increased from 50 days after sowing, var. white displayed S type curved line but var. reddish displayed slow S type curved line. The SGR of whole plant weight in both varieties had 3 maxima and 2 minima, 3 maxima and first minimum were shown at the same period but the second minimum was shown at different period. Both varieties showed bimodal curved line. All SGR of each organ and leaf area were shown the 2 maxima and 1 minimum in both varieties. The changes of SLA and LAR were not remarkable between two varieties but these were united together with the maximum of whole plant weight and root weight. ULWR and ULWR were shown similar in both varieties. Reddish variety was more prosperous in early growth stage than white variety because SLA, LAR and LWR were high. In surplus weight, both varieties increased rapidly during the period of 111-120 days after sowing that was applicable to the maximum SGR of pod weight. Surplus weight of var. white increased markedly during the same period comparing those of var. reddish.
