본 연구는 소리곤충 상담 프로그램이 노인의 정서표현에 도움을 주는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 남녀 구분 없이 만 65세 이상이며 정서표현 척도 검사에서 51점 이하, 의사소통에 문제가 없는 자로 실험집단 10명 통제집단 10명을 선정하였다. 프로그램은 2023년 7월부터 8월까지 주 2회, 회기당 50분씩 총 12회기를 실시 하였다. 효과 검증을 위해 SPSS/WIN 26.0을 활용하여 집단 간 동질성 검증을 하고 입증이 된 후 실험집단과 통제집 단의 사전과 사후에 노인 정서표현 척도 측정을 실시하고 분석하였다. 그 결과, 실험집단의 정서표현 전체의 사전 평균 56.25에서 사후평균 66.38로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다(Z=-3.41, p＜.05). 그러나 통제집단의 정서표현 전체의 사전평균 58.15에서 사후 평균 58.92로 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(Z=-0.43, p>.05). 향후 본 연구결 과를 기반으로 소리곤충을 활용한 노인의 정서표현 향상에 이점을 유도하는 소리곤충 활용 상담 프로그램으로 확대 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Y-Aminobutyric acid(GABA) is a four carbon non-protein amino acid that has several well-known phys-iological functions, such as a postsynaptic inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and induction of hypotensive and tran-quilizer effects. A lactic acid bacterium was isolated from button mushroom bed, which is showing high GABAproductivity by TLC or HPLC analysis. The strain was identified as Lactobacillus hilgardii by analysis of 16S rDNAgene sequence. When the maximum production of GABA by L. hilgardii was investigated with various concentration ofmonosodium glutamate, the yield of GABA reached to be 53.65mM at 1% mono sodium glutamate (MSG) in flask cul-tivation. A Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) enzyme, which was known to convert MSG to GABA, was purified froma cell-free extract of L. hilgardii and the molecular weights of purified GAD was estimated to 60,000 by SDS-PAGE.The optimum pH and temperature of GAD were at pH4.6 and at 37°C, respectively. The GAD activity was increasedby the addition of sulfate ions such as ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, indicating that theincrease of hydrophobic interaction causes the increase of GAD activity.

A xylanase bacteria, isolated from Waste Mushroom bed of Agaricus bisporus in Sukseong-myeon, Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, was used to produce an xylanase in shaker buffle flask cultures containing oat spelt xylans. This strain was screen onto xylan agar congo-red plate by the xylanolysis method. The phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA sequence data showed that Bacillus subtilisstrain 55 had the highest homology (99.0%) with Bacillus subtilisand it was named Bacillus subtilisstrain 55. Bacteria grows and activity maximum during 2 days. The xylanase enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation (50~80%), gel filtration on sephacryl S-300, and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE sepharose FF. The molecular weight determined by SDS-PAGE method. Enzyme size was 44kDa. The optimal pH of the xylanase activity was pH 7, and stability pH 6. The optimal temperature for the xylanase activity and stability was showed same temperature at 50℃. The purified xylnase had Kmvalue and Vmax of 20㎎/㎖ and 2500μM/min respectively. The enzyme was active on oat spelt xylan, beechwood xylan and little activity on starch substrate specificity. Enzyme activity was enhanced by Fe2+and Mn2+and strongly inhibited by Hg+.

Recently, numerous government institutions and information service organizations have shown interests in employing ISO 9001 Quality Management System to increase their organizational performances. However, due to the gap between the system requirements and the process oriented goals in reality, they have not been able to merit from the ISO 9001 system. The primary goal of this paper is to propose a process oriented approach for implementing ISO 9001 system in information service organizations. This approach is different from the existing approaches in that it utilizes process mapping and 3-color improvement strategies. The proposed approach is illustrated using the K information service organization case study.

Most lamp units at ceilings, walls, and streets are static and no automatic motion capabilities are available at all to adjust lamp tilting angles and its zooming position. This paper proposes a new robotic lamp that creates three degrees of freedom (DOF) motion by using a spherical-type parallel mechanism with a unique forward kinematic position. In the robotic lamp, three motors are placed at the base frame to control two tilting angles and one zoom in-and-out motion for a localized light. The kinematic model of this device is derived and the proto type has been developed. The performance of this device was verified through experiment.
