This study investigated the operating principles of colorimetric freshness indicators, particularly those for relative humidity (RH) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and evaluated the applicability of commercially available indicators for food use. The findings not only provide a deeper understanding of how these indicators respond to substances, such as carbon dioxide, volatile basic nitrogen, sulfides, water activity, and ethylene gas, which are produced during quality changes in food, but also pave the way for the development of new food safety technologies. The RH indicator functions by utilizing a dye that undergoes a chemical structural change when reacting with moisture. The H2S indicator uses a dye that changes color upon detecting H2S or volatile basic nitrogen produced when food spoils. Commercial RH indicators effectively indicated changes in the water activity of almonds, pastries, and red pepper powder; however, their ability to predict them diminished during storage. Commercial H2S indicators exhibited a stronger correlation between color change and volatile basic nitrogen levels in exposure to light than without light, as demonstrated when applied to mackerel and clam. Additionally, at the point of spoilage, the degree of color change in the H2S indicators was more distinct in clam than mackerel. Although commercial RH and H2S indicators are available, they must be sensitive, accurate, and irreversibly developed in response to changes in the target food for effective application.

공적개발원조(ODA)의 배분 요인에 관한 선행연구에 따르면, 다수의 공여행위자는 수원국의 필요 또는 자국의 이익을 추구하기 위해 원조를 배분한다고 주장한다. 본 연구는 모든 수원국을 동일한 하나의 분석 단 위(unit)로 접근한 기존 연구와는 다르게, 아프리카 권역별 수원국이 차 지하는 상대적인 수준에 고려하여 원조 배분 요인을 고찰한다. 또한 아 프리카에 대한 전체 원조뿐 아니라 유상원조와 무상원조를 각각 구분하 여 배분 요인을 탐색한다는 점에서 선행연구와 차별적이다. 구체적으로 2012년부터 2021년까지 아프리카 수원국이 각 권역 내 차지하는 상대적 인 경제적, 정치적, 인도주의적, 거버넌스 수준이 원조 배분과 어떠한 관 계가 있는지를 살펴본다. 분석 결과, 수원국이 권역 내 다른 수원국에 비 해 경제적 수준이 낮을수록, 정치적 수준이 높을수록, 인도주의적 필요 수준이 낮을수록, 거버넌스 수준이 높을수록 원조를 더 많이 배분받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 유상원조는 무상원조에 비해 수원국의 경제적 수준이 높을수록 더 많이 배분하는 점을 실증적으로 검증했다는 점에서 학술적 의의가 있다.

PURPOSES : This paper presents a foundational study aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of future overseas construction engineering projects, efficiently guiding investment decisions for the government or private sectors and establishing policy suggestions for areas that need to be supplemented and linked. METHODS : The data envelopment analysis (DEA) model was used to measure the operational efficiency for individual types of work. The DEA model for measuring efficiency uses the representative Charnes, Cooper, and Rhode (CCR) and Banker, Charnes, and Cooper (BCC) models. RESULTS : By using statistics of overseas construction projects and conducting DEA, it was revealed that construction management was most needed in the energy facility sector of overseas construction projects. CONCLUSIONS : Although the capabilities of our country's companies are excellent, it was evident that the energy and industrial facilities sectors, which need to be supplemented to enhance their competitiveness, require policy support that incorporates construction management (CM). Consequently, it was confirmed that the construction management sector needs investment that should continue to be activated in the future. Additional research is needed that considers variables and environments related to overseas construction projects’ on-site conditions. To this end, the government should continue to promote research and government investment linked to CM to make progress in overseas construction sectors.

This paper attempts to show that the word sì 巳(祀) used after the negative wù 勿 or wú 毋 functions as a “Vintransitive” (all the abbreviations and references used in this paper are given at the end of Part I). As such, it forms a VP, 勿/毋 V1 (=巳) V2, where V2 is frequently, but not always, one of the six “Type-A ritual Vs”—one being dăo 禱 ‘to pray’ and the rest given in the paper; when V2 is a “Type-B non-ritual V”—one being diàn 田(甸) ‘to hunt’ and the rest inexhaustible. A major reason for the use of V2 is to contrast with the preceding V1. This is deduced from closely examining the semantic relationship between V1 and V2. The details will be explained with examples. There are also inscriptions in which V1 (巳/祀) is used before yú 于, a “multidirectional” preposition. This is labelled as “Nloc in the sense of ‘in, at’, not ‘to, for’ when preceded by the V1 or in the construction given in the title. The paper accounts for its motivating principle. The paper argues that 巳/祀 is a Vaction meaning “conduct sì-providential ritual”. It was done at a place to seek divine direction and guidance from the deity or Power believed to have dwelt in situ. Originally presented in Takashima (2009a), this paper delves further into linguistic, philological, and cultural aspects of the 巳-ritual couched in the VP, 勿/毋 V1 (=巳/祀) V2. Part I has covered “Examination I: Zhū Shēngyù’s Questions and Zhāng Yùjīn’s Interpretation”. The paper answers the former and evaluates the latter. Part II begins with “Examination II: Qiú Xīguī’s Interpretation” and ends with the conclusions of the entire paper.

기후변화 관점에서 수목의 이산화탄소 흡수·저장에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 도시 정주지 수목을 대상으로 한 탄소저장량 추정 모형의 개발에 대한 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 도시 지역에 조경수로 식재된 서양측백(Thuja occidentalis L.) 20본을 벌채한 후 수목 부위별 탄소 농도를 비교하고 탄소저장량 추정 상대생장식을 개발하였다. 수목 부위별 바이오매스는 흉고직경(DBH)의 증가와 강한 지수함수적 관계가 있었다. 수목 부위별 탄소 농도는 줄기 목질부가 51.7%로 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 뿌리는 42.9%로 가장 낮았다. 줄기 목질부 탄소 농도는 흉고직경과 양의 상관관계가 있었으나, 수피, 가지, 잎, 뿌리의 탄소 농도는 흉고직경과 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 흉고직경 또는 흉고직경 제곱과 수고(DBH2×H)를 독립변수로 하고 수목 부위별 탄소저장량을 종속변수로 하는 상대생장식의 결정계수(R2)는 잎(0.70~0.71)을 제외한 모든 부위에서 0.80~0.97로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과로부터 얻어진 수목 부위별 탄소저장량 추정 상대생장식은 도시 정주지에 식재된 서양측백의 탄소저장 량 및 흡수량의 추정에 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Biocide dichlofluanid breaks down quickly and accumulates easily in sediment, potentially causing a persistent impact on various marine organisms. We analyzed the potential toxicity of dichlofluanid on major aquaculture species in Korea, Undaria pinnatifida. Female gametophytes of U. pinnatifida were exposed to dichlofluanid at concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 mg L-1, and their survival and relative growth rate were analyzed. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC), lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC), and median lethal concentration (LC50) for female gametophyte survival were determined as 1, 2, and 10.82 (95% CI: 8.87-13.23) mg L-1, respectively. The NOEC, LOEC, and median effective concentration (EC50) for relative growth rate were 1, 2, and 6.58 (95% CI: 6.03-7.17) mg L-1, respectively. Female gametophytes of U. pinnatifida were expected to experience toxic effects at concentrations above 2 mg L-1 of dichlofluanid. These research findings are expected to serve as important reference data for evaluating the toxicity effects of U. pinnatifida in its early life stages when exposed to dichlofluanid.

최근 여러 연구에서 Hg2+에 선택적으로 반응해 형광을 강화시키거나 소광시키는 thiophene을 기반으로한 probe가 많이 개발되어 왔지만, 이에 따른 분광학적 현상에 대한 정확한 분자적 수준의 이론적 해석이 이루어지지 않 았다. 이에 따라 우리는 Hg2+와 thiophene간 상호작용을 면밀히 분석하기 위해 Hg2+와 thiophene간 거리에 따른 에너 지 포텐셜을 구하였다. Hg2+ 이온에 대한 모든 전자(all electron, AE) basis set인 x2c-TZVPPall와 effective core potential (ECP) 기반인 LANL2DZ는 모두 상대성 효과가 고려된 바닥 상태에서 Hg2+와 thiophene이 결합력이 없이 해 리가 되는 에너지 포텐셜을 보여주었지만, 용매인 물이 고려된 시스템에서는 Hg2+와 thiophene이 결합력을 가지는 것 을 보였으며 이것은 실험적인 결과를 잘 재현하는 것이었다. 따라서 Hg2+ 이온을 포함하는 착화합물 시스템에서 올바 른 에너지 상태를 구하기 위해서는 상대성효과와 더불어 solvent 영향도 잘 고려돼야 함을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 청년세대의 상대적 박탈이 사회적 이슈로 떠오르고 있음에 도 불구하고 관련된 사회적 논의와 학문적 연구가 제대로 이루어지지 못 하고 있다는 비판에 기반하고 있다. 이에 20~30대 청년을 대상으로 온라 인 설문조사로 데이터를 수집하여 위계적 회귀분석방법으로 청년세대의 상대적 박탈감에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하였다. 연구 결과 및 논의를 다음과 같이 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 한국 사회의 청년세대는 분배의 불 공정성에 기반해 상대적 박탈감을 체감하는 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 환 경과 맞물려 더욱 두드러지게 나타나는 분배공정성의 특성상, 공정하지 못한 분배구조로 인해 피해를 받고 있다는 청년세대의 상대적 박탈감 인 식은 일면 당연한 모습으로 해석된다. 둘째, 평등에 대한 인식이 분배공 정성과 결합한 상호작용의 효과로 상대적 박탈감을 낮추는 요인으로 작 용함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 사회적 평등이 공정성을 강화시 키는 요소로 작용할 수 있음을 보여줌과 동시에 공정성의 다차원적 요인 에 평등이 포함될 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 결론적으로, 사회적 자원 에 대한 접근의 평등과 공정함을 제도로 보장하고 공평한 자원 분배 정 책 등이 최우선의 청년정책으로 마련되어져야 할 것이다.

Chlorothalonil is continuously introduced into the marine environment and has significant toxic effects on various marine organisms, however, research on its effect on seaweed is limited. Therefore, we analyzed the impact of chlorothalonil on the early life stages of major aquaculture species in Korea, Undaria pinnatifida. U. pinnatifida female gametophytes were exposed to different concentrations of chlorothalonil (0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.40 mg L-1), and their survival rate and relative growth rate were analyzed. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC), lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC), and median lethal concentration (LC50) for female gametophyte survival were determined as 0.05, 0.10, and 0.141 (0.121-0.166) mg L-1. NOEC, LOEC, and median effective concentration (EC50) for relative growth rate were 0.10, 0.20, and 0.124 (0.119-0.131) mg L-1. Therefore, female gametophytes of U. pinnatifida are expected to experience toxic effects at concentrations above 0.05-0.10 mg L-1 of chlorothalonil. These research findings are anticipated to serve as crucial reference data for evaluating the effects of chlorothalonil on the health of U. pinnatifida in the early life stages.

This study was conducted with the aim of confirming the impact and relative contribution of extreme weather to dry matter yield (DMY) of silage corn in the central inland region of Korea. The corn data (n=1,812) were obtained from various reports on the new variety of adaptability experiments conducted by the Rural Development Administration from 1978 to 2017. As for the weather variables, mean aerial temperature, accumulated precipitation, maximum wind speed, and sunshine duration, were collected from the Korean Meteorological Administration. The extreme weather was detected by the box plot, the DMY comparison was carried out by the t-test with a 5% significance level, and the relative contribution was estimated by R2 change in multiple regression modeling. The DMY of silage corn was reduced predominantly during the monsoon in summer and autumn, with DMY damage measuring 1,500-2,500 kg/ha and 1,800 kg/ha, respectively. Moreover, the relative contribution of the damage during the monsoons in summer and autumn was 40% and 60%, respectively. Therefore, the impact of autumn monsoon season should be taken into consideration when harvesting silage corn after late August. This study evaluated the effect of extreme weather on the yield damage of silage corn in Korea and estimated the relative contribution of this damage for the first time.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has transformed conventional manufacturing processes by offering unprecedented opportunities for design innovation, reduced lead times, and cost-effective production. Aluminum alloy, a material used in metal 3D printing, is a representative lightweight structural material known for its high specific strength and corrosion resistance. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for 3D printed aluminum alloy components across industries, including aerospace, transportation, and consumer goods. To meet this demand, research on alloys and process conditions that satisfy the specific requirement of each industry is necessary. However, 3D printing processes exhibit different behaviors of alloy elements owing to rapid thermal dynamics, making it challenging to predict the microstructure and properties. In this study, we gathered published data on the relationship between alloy composition, processing conditions, and properties. Furthermore, we conducted a sensitivity analysis on the effects of the process variables on the density and hardness of aluminum alloys used in additive manufacturing.

This study aims to present a method to evaluate the relative risk of failure due to liquefaction of domestic small to medium-sized earthfill dams with a height of less than 15 m, which has little information on geotechnical properties. Based on the results of previous researches, a series of methods and procedures for estimating the probability of dam failure due to liquefaction, which calculates the probability of liquefaction occurrence of the dam body, the amount of settlement at the dam crest according to the estimation of the residual strength of the dam after liquefaction, the overtopping depth determined from the amount of settlement at the dam crest, and the probability of failure of the dam due to overtopping was explicitly presented. To this end, representative properties essential for estimating the probability of failure due to the liquefaction of small to medium-sized earthfill dams were presented. Since it is almost impossible to directly determine these representative properties for each of the target dams because it is almost impossible to obtain geotechnical property information, they were estimated and determined from the results of field and laboratory tests conducted on existing small to medium-sized earthfill dams in previous researches. The method and procedure presented in this study were applied to 12 earthfill dams on a trial basis, and the liquefaction failure probability was calculated. The analysis of the calculation results confirmed that the representative properties were reasonable and that the overall evaluation procedure and method were effective.

이 연구는 한일 양국 간 대학생이 서로의 문화에 대해서 어떤 계기로 관심을 갖게 되었는지, 어떠한 문화에 관심이 있는지에 대한 실태를 파 악하고자 하였다. 그 결과는 다음 세 가지로 요약된다. 첫째, 한국대학생 의 일본·일본문화에 대한 관심도는 상당히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 일본문 화에 처음 관심을 갖게 된 계기와 시기로는 초등학교, 중학교 때 접한 학생들이 많았으며, 주로 애니메이션을 통해서 접하였다. 고등학교 이후 에 관심을 갖게 된 학생은 학교에서의 일본어 수업이나 유튜브를 통한 일본 음식, 일본 여행을 통해서 관심을 갖게 되었다. 둘째, 국가 차원에 서의 한일관계는 현재는 부정적으로 생각하고 있으나, 미래에는 좋아질 것으로 판단하고 있다. 한일관계가 나쁜 원인으로 역사문제와 정치문제 에 기인하며, 이를 정치인들이 악용하여 해결보다는 갈등을 조장하고 있 으며, 한일관계가 좋아지기 위해서는 서로 간의 교류를 늘려서 원활한 대화가 필요하다고 생각하고 있다. 셋째, 민간 차원에서의 국가이미지와 한일관계는 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 한일 간의 관계가 악화되더라도 국가 간의 관계와 민간차원과의 관계는 별개로 보고 있다.

Determination of explosion reference pressure is important in designing and testing flameproof enclosures (Ex d). Although relative humidity affects to explosion pressure, its effect is not well investigated for the gas group IIB, IIA, and I. This study tested explosion pressure for Ethylene (8 vol.%), Propane (4.6 vol.%), and Methane (9.8 vol.%), which are the representative gas of the gas group IIB, IIA, and I, at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure (1 atm) under different relative humidity (0% ~ 80%). Ethylene- and Propane-air mixed gases generally tended to decrease as the relative humidity increased; however, explosion pressure was largely dropped at 20% of relative humidity compared to 0% and 10% of relative humidity. On the other hand, Methane-air mixture gas showed similar pressures at 0% and 10% of relative humidity; but no explosion occurred at more than 20%. The results of this study can be used in setting a testing protocol of explosion reference pressure for designing and testing a flameproof enclosure.

To test a flameproof enclosure for the safety certificate, a reference pressure of explosion needs to be determined. However, the explosion pressure may be changed according to relative humidity of explosive gases. Therefore, the guideline on relative humidity should be recommended for measuring the explosion pressure for accurate and reproducible testings. This study examined the relationship of explosion pressure with relative humidity of hydrogen (31 vol %)-air and acetylene (14 vol %)-air mixture gases. The explosion pressures were measured by increasing the relative humidity of the gases by 10 % from dry state to 80 % in a cylindrical explosion enclosure of 2.3 L. on ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure (1 atm). The maximum explosive pressures were remained almost constant until the relative humidity reached 10 % for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture. However, the maximum explosive pressures linearly decreased as the relative humidity increased. Based on the results of the study, it would be recommended to use 10 % relative humidity for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture as the critical value in testing a flameproof enclosure.

미역(Undaria pinnatifida) 포자를 사용한 생태독성 시험법은 연중 상시 이용하기에 어렵다. 미역 의 암배우체는 실험실에서 배양할 수 있기 때문에, 포자의 단점을 보완하고 상시 생태독성 시 험에 사용할 수 있다. 따라서 미역의 암배우체를 생태독성 시험에 활용하기 위해 다양한 환경 조건에 노출된 미역의 암배우체 생존율과 상대성장률의 변화를 분석하였다. 미역 암배우체는 염분(5~40 psu), 온도(5~30℃), pH (2~10), 광량(0~120 μmol photon m-2 s-1)에 노출되었다. 암배 우체의 생존율은 최고 평균값을 기준으로 온도 20℃, 염분 27.5 psu, pH 8, 광량 30 μmol photon m-2 s-1에서 가장 높았다. 상대성장률은 최고 평균값을 기준으로 온도 15℃, 염문 35 psu, pH 9, 광량 60 μmol photon m-2 s-1에서 가장 높았다. 본 연구결과를 통해 미역 암배우체의 생존율과 상대성장률을 활용하여 연안환경을 상시 신속하게 평가하기 위한 효율적인 방법으로 활용이 기대된다.

A reliable prediction model of national occupational accident fatality rate can be used to evaluate level of safety and health protection for workers in a country. Moreover, the socio-economic aspects of occupational accidents can be identified through interpretation of a well-organized prediction model. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based relative comparison methods to predict and interpret a national occupational accident fatality rate based on socio-economic indicators. First, we collected 29 years of the relevant data from 11 developed countries. Second, we applied 4 types of machine learning regression models and evaluate their performance. Third, we interpret the contribution of each input variable using Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP). As a result, Gradient Boosting Regressor showed the best predictive performance. We found that different patterns exist across countries in accordance with different socio-economic variables and occupational accident fatality rate.

This study evaluated the quality of school milk programs and analyzed the relative importance of school milk program selection attributes using conjoint analysis. The survey was conducted on students from middle and high schools in metropolitan cities that provide school milk programs. Responses were received from 414 students and the data was subjected to frequency analysis, t-test, and conjoint analysis using the SPSS Statistics Package. While evaluating white milk in the school milk program, middle school students rated ‘packaging condition’ (4.23) the highest, high school students rated ‘nutrition’ (4.64) the highest, and their evaluation of all the quality attributes was significantly different from that of middle school students (p<0.001). Overall satisfaction scores too, showed a significant difference between high school (4.46) and middle school students (4.01) (p<0.001). Processed milk & dairy products had the highest satisfaction score in the attribute of ‘serving time’ (4.57). The relative importance of the choice attributes of the school milk program was in the order of ‘number per item’ (62.260%), ‘temperature’ (25.708%), and ‘serving method’ (12.032%) for all students. The school milk program most preferred by all students and middle school students was to provide milk at a refrigerated temperature, select white milk three times a week, processed milk, fermented milk, and cheese twice a week, and provide it at the desired time.
