This study explores how to integrate the generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool Midjourney into the fashion design process, emphasizing the visualization of sporty fashion concepts. The research applied Midjourney at every stage of the fashion design process: mood board, fashion sketch, flat drawing, production package, fashion show presentation, and store display and sales. Specifically, sporty fashion was selected as the theme, and customized prompts were developed from prior research and design principles to generate visual outputs for each stage. Furthermore, three apparel design experts evaluated the AI-generated images to assess Midjourney’s practical applicability and effectiveness in each phase of the fashion design workflow. Expert evaluations revealed that Midjourney was particularly effective in the early stages, offering diverse and visually engaging imagery that supported creative ideation and mood expression. The tool allowed quick exploration of different silhouettes during the sketching stage but was imprecise in detailed forms and proportions. Limitations became more evident in the flat drawing and work instruction stages, where outputs failed to accurately reflect material textures and technical construction. Prompt refinements and referencebased prompts were tested but often resulted in inconsistent or stylized outputs. Additionally, continuity between stages was missing. Midjourney shows potential as a creative tool, but experts highlight its limitations for practical industry application. Further research is needed to improve prompt optimization and training data for enhanced accuracy and usability in AI-assisted fashion design workflows.

산림청은 치유의 숲 등 산림을 활용하여 대상별 맞춤형 산림치유 프로그램을 기획‧개발하고 치유활동을 효율적으로 할 수 있도록 국가자격제도로 ‘산림치유지도사’를 도입하였다. 산림치유지도사 관련 법령과 정책은 자격 취득과정의 정립, 양성기관의 확대, 산림치유지도사 배출 등 단계별 과정을 거쳐 초기 제도적 안정화를 이루었다. 변화하는 환경과 증가하는 산림치유 사회적 수요에 발맞추어 보다 나은 프로그램을 제공하기 위한 인프라 조성을 위해 양성과정의 효과적인 운영과 자격제도의 개선이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구는 2022년까지 배출된 1‧2급 산림치유지도사를 대상으로 자격증 취득 이후의 활동 현황과 산림치유지도사 교육과정 개선 방향을 중심으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 산림치유 설문 항목은 응답자 현황과 보유 자격증 현황, 경제활동 여부, 전문가 자격 기준, 양성과정 개선방향 등으로 구성되었다. 산림치유지도사 자격증 보유자는 여성과 50대가 가장 많았으며, 대학교 졸업 이상의 학력을 보유하고 있었다. 양성과정에 관련한 공통적인 개선 요구사항으로는 ‘양성교재’와 ‘실습시간’이 차지했으며, 현장에서 프로그램을 진행할 때 필요한 업무 능력을 배양할 수 있는 과목의 교육 요구가 높았다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 산림치유 자격제도의 경쟁력을 높이고, 양성교육과정을 강화하여 교육생의 만족도를 높이는 것과 함께 나아가 산림 관련 일자리 연계 등을 위한 정책 수립의 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

Background/Aims: The ballooning time in endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of the ballooning time comparing an immediate balloon deflation method with a conventional ballooning time of > 45 seconds. Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2010, 126 patients with bile duct stones treated with EPLBD and endoscopic sphincterotomy were divided according to the ballooning time: the immediate deflation group (n=56) and the conventional inflation group (ballooning time 45s to < 60s) (n=70). Results: The overall success rate and the success rate of the first attempt of ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography) were 96.4% (54/56) and 80.4% (45/56) in the immediate group and 97.1% (68/70) and 77.1% (54/70) in the conventional inflation group. There were no statistically significant differences in the overall success and the first attempt of ERCP success rate (p=0.99, p=0.66). The frequency of mechanical lithotripsy was 0% in the immediate deflation group and 7.1% in the conventional inflation group (p=0.065). Complications occurred in 3.6% (2/56) patients in the immediate deflation group and 8.6% (4/70) patients in the conventional inflation group (p=0.298). Conclusions: The ballooning time in EPLBD does not affect the outcomes of the treatment for bile duct stones. And the feasibility of the immediate deflation method in EPLBD is acceptable.
