The purpose of this study is to present a plan for reducing noise between floors of apartment houses in Korea and to examine the method for evaluating noise blocking performance rating between floors. The definition of floor noise and classification method of floor noise can be described, and floor noise can be distinguished into lightweight impact sound and heavy impact sound. The wall-type structure, which is mainly adopted in domestic apartments, relatively transmits vibration caused by impact sources rather than using columns and beams, so noise problems between floors are relatively higher than systems using columns and beams. Three representative methods for reducing and blocking floor noise are described, and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of floor noise reduction by each method are described. In addition, the method for noise reduction and blocking grades for each construction method currently applied in Korea was described, and as a result, it was judged that the domestic rating evaluation method was not suitable for the current domestic situation, and a new evaluation method and standard were needed.

Recently, ESG(Environmental, Social, Governance) has been recognized as an important factor for the sustainable growth of companies. However, only 14.5% of food manufacturing companies have adopted ESG management. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) face difficulties in implementing ESG management due to a lack of specialized personnel and resource constraints. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of ESG ratings on the management performance of 40 food manufacturing companies listed on the Korea Exchange(KRX) that have been evaluated for ESG. The one-way ANOVA was used and performed on data for 40 food manufacturing companies published by the Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability(KCGS) in 2023. The results of the analysis showed statistically significant differences in sales (F=12.936, p<0.001) and foreign ownership (F=7.74, p<0.01) based on ESG ratings. Furthermore, Scheffe's post-hoc analysis indicated that the higher the ESG rating and individual scores, the better the overall management performance. Therefore, it is concluded that food manufacturing companies should continuously invest in and focus on ESG management to secure a competitive advantage in the market and achieve sustainable growth.

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) building frames constructed before the seismic design was applied have seismically deficient structural details, and buildings with such structural details show brittle behavior that is destroyed early due to low shear performance. Various reinforcement systems, such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing systems, are being studied to reinforce the seismically deficient RC frames. Due to the step-by-step modeling and interpretation process, existing seismic performance assessment and reinforcement design of buildings consume an enormous amount of workforce and time. Various machine learning (ML) models were developed using input and output datasets for seismic loads and reinforcement details built through the finite element (FE) model developed in previous studies to overcome these shortcomings. To assess the performance of the seismic performance prediction models developed in this study, the mean squared error (MSE), R-square (R2), and residual of each model were compared. Overall, the applied ML was found to rapidly and effectively predict the seismic performance of buildings according to changes in load and reinforcement details without overfitting. In addition, the best-fit model for each seismic performance class was selected by analyzing the performance by class of the ML models.

중앙분리대 콘크리트 방호울타리(Concrete Median Barriers, CMB)는 마주 달리는 차량과의 정면충 돌을 예방할 뿐만 아니라 탑승자의 상해 및 차량의 파손까지 최소화하는 중요한 안전시설 중 하나이 다. 현재 국내의 CMB는 설계속도에 따라 등급이 정해지고, 이에 맞는 성능 평가를 실시하게 된다. 현 재 국내의 특수구간을 제외한 저속구간 및 일반구간(60~80km/hr)에서는 SB4등급 이하의 CMB가 사 용되고 있으며, 고속구간(100km/h 이상 도로)에서는 SB5등급 이상의 CMB가 사용된다. 그중 고속국 도에 시공되는 SB5등급 이상의 CMB에 대한 연구는 지속해서 수행되는 반면 일반국도에 대한 CMB 연구는 비교적 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일반국도에 시공되는 SB4등급의 효율적인 단 면을 찾기 위한 해석적 연구가 수행되었다. 단면 형상은 1, 2차 충돌에 큰 영향을 미치는 단면의 높이 와 최하단부의 곡률 반경이 고려되었다. 유한요소 해석에 사용된 차량은 미국 교통부(U.S Department of Transportation)에서 제공한 16톤 트럭을 국내 차량과 비슷한 형태로 개선한 차량이었다. 해석 결과 로, 트럭의 충돌 후 단면 형상에 따라 발생한 트럭의 거동, 콘크리트 비산량, 소성변형이 비교되었다.

택코트란 아스팔트 포장 공사 시 기존 아스팔트층과 신설 아스팔트 층 사이에 부착성을 증가시키기 위하여 사용되는 재료이다. 교통 하중으로 인해 포장 경계면에서 수평전단응력 및 수직인장응력이 발생하게 되는데 택코트의 유실, 양생 부족 등의 문제로 접착 성능 이 부족하면 포장층의 분리, 밀림과 같은 도로 파괴가 형상이 나타날 수 있다. 현재 국내에서는 국토교통부 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장 시공 지침에 택코트 살포량에 대한 기준은 존재하지만 기존 및 신설 아스팔트 포장층 사이에 택코트의 접착강도에 대한 기준은 존재 하지 않는 실정이다, 이는 접착강도 특성이 분석되지 않은 택코트를 사용함에 따라 아스팔트 포장의 공용성 측면에서 문제를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PG등급이 다른 택코트 4종류에 대한 인장 및 전단접착강도를 확인하기 위하여 인장접착강도 시험, 전 단접착강도 시험을 진행하였다. 택코트의 양생정도에 따른 접착강도 특성을 확인해보기 위하여 택코트의 수분이 증발됨에 따라 중량 변화가 없는 상태를 양생 100%로 하여 양생 0%, 50%, 100%로 진행하였으며, 살포량은 국토교통부 아스팔트 콘크리트 시공 지침에 따 라 0.5ℓ/m2로 진행하였다. 사용된 택코트 종류에 관계 없이 양생 정도가 증가함에 따라 접착강도는 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 인장 및 전단접착강도 시험에 관계없이 초기 양생(양생 0%~50%)보다 양생 50% 이후에서의 더 높게 강도가 발현된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 PG등급이 높은 택코트가 인장 및 전단접착강도에 관계없이 접착강도 성능이 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 추후 택코트의 종류를 추 가하여 PG등급이 분류가 이루어진 후에 접착강도 시험을 진행하여 결과를 확인할 예정이다.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the nutrition quotient and the dietary intake of adolescents. A total of 393 adolescents were surveyed to evaluate their Nutrition Quotient for Korean Adolescents (NQ-A) scores and dietary intake. The average age of the survey subjects was 15 years and the average NQ-A score of the subjects was 49.11±13.35. There was no significant difference in the NQ-A scores according to gender and age. The average dietary diversity score was 3.77±0.85, and it was significantly higher in boys than in girls (p< .05) with the scores of 12-14-year-old students being significantly higher than those aged 15-18 years (p< .01). The results of comparing the percentage of recommended intake or adequate intake and the mean adequacy ratio (MAR) according to the NQ-A grade, showed that the ‘High’ grade had a significantly higher intake percentage of vitamin B1, B12, folate, phosphorus, iron and a significantly higher MAR (p< .05). From a long-term perspective, efforts to improve dietary habits are deemed necessary to meet an individual’s nutritional requirements. Adolescents themselves should develop proper eating behaviors and acquire suitable dietary management skills to enhance their nutritional status, ultimately contributing to an improvement in their quality of life.

This study reports an analytical investigation on the development of SB4-grade separated concrete median barriers. The proposed barrier sections comprise three designs, with heights of 810, 1000, and 1270 mm and upper widths of 90, 120, and 120 mm, respectively. Before conducting collision analyses on the proposed sections, the considered collision analysis model was validated using real collision test results; the model was found to accurately predict the real collision test results. The proposed cross-sections were modeled to perform collision analysis according to SB4-grade collision conditions. Results indicated that increasing the cross-section height increased the damaged area and decreased the strength, while the occupant protection performance remained mostly unaffected. Furthermore, the proposed cross-sections met the strength and occupant protection performance criteria specified in domestic guidelines, suggesting their suitability as a separated concrete median barrier for bridges.

고문읽기와 쓰기는 우수한 중국 전통 문화의 계승과 발전을 위한 기초 능력이다. 현재 고문 교육은 학습 효율이 낮고, 문턱이 높으며, 목적성이 부족하다는 세 가지 문제점이 존재한다. 고문읽기와 고문자에 대한 두려움은 많은 청소년들이 맞닥뜨리고 있는 실제 문제이다. 본 연구는 고대 중국어 교육의 특징과 실제에 근거하여 대규모 고적 코퍼스의 통계 작업을 통해 1,000개의 한자를 선정하였다. 한자의 자형, 자음, 자의, 용자 네 가지 측면에서 각 등급별 기준을 설정하고, 한자 학습의 우선순위를 반영하여 ｢고적한자등급자표古籍汉字分级字表｣를 개발하였다. 이 표 에는 1급 105자, 2급 340자, 3급 555자를 수록되어 있다. 청소년에게 고문 학습을 위해 한자학습 자료를 제공하는 것은 고적 한자의 점진적 학습을 도울 뿐 아니라 청소년이 가지고 있는 고문 학습에 대한 부담감을 줄여주고 고문 읽기 능력을 향상시켜 줄 것이다. 더 나아가 중국의 우수한 전통 문화를 계승하고 발전시키는 데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor originating from the salivary gland. The gradation of MEC is determined histologically based on cellular composition, with high-grade MEC presenting with distinct characteristics and clinical implications. A 56-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of right facial swelling and a recent onset of pain. A subsequent biopsy confirmed a malignant epithelial tumor, with further imaging assisting in determining the surgical approach. Comprehensive surgery, involving the removal of the right submandibular gland and reconstructive procedures, was undertaken. Histopathological evaluation post-surgery confirmed a high-grade MEC. The differentiation between inflammatory conditions and neoplastic lesions in the orofacial region can be challenging. The gradation of MEC is important in guiding therapeutic decisions. Among various classification systems, the Brandwein system offers detailed histopathological criteria that correlate reliably with clinical features. High-grade MECs, although less frequent, are aggressive and have a lower 5-year survival rate. Accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial in devising an effective treatment plan. The presented case underlines the importance of a meticulous yet periodic follow-up, considering the aggressive nature of high-grade MECs.

This study aimed to verify the validity of the evaluation items and weight determination of the indoor environmental safety area, which has the most frequent accidents, among the safety certification evaluations of educational facilities by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, which has been conducted since May 2021. As a preceding study, the evaluation items of the school safety evaluation checklist being implemented in the US state of Vermont were compared, and the causes of accidents judged by teachers in the accident experiences written by 200 Korean teachers were compared with the safety certification evaluation items belonged to the Ministry of Education. In addition, research literature using the AHP analysis technique on safety risks of elementary and secondary schools in China and safety evaluation index study cases of 539 elementary school children in Indonesia were analyzed. Through these preceding studies, measures to add and adjust evaluation items were derived and the validity and importance rankings of evaluation items were calculated through AHP questionnaires to teachers and safety experts. In addition, a survey was conducted on 104 ordinary people to verify the results of expert analysis. As a result of expert AHP analysis, 'safety education and disaster response training (.396)' was the highest priority for the relative importance of the first layer, followed by 'safety measures (.387)' and 'building materials'. Safety (.216)' was found to be the highest priority. In the overall importance ranking of the 13 second-tier screening items, safety accident prevention education had the highest priority and disaster preparedness training ranked second, proving that the Ministry of Education's review weight was underestimated. In addition, slip and collision accident countermeasures, which were not in the existing Ministry of Education review items, ranked 4th, laboratory practice room safety measures ranked 6th, and sanitation, cleanliness, hazardous substance management, and cafeteria/cooking room safety measures ranked 9th, indicating a significant level of importance. Referring to the importance ranking, which is the result of this study, it is suggested that it is necessary to review the weight of each review item again.

Recently, elevator inspection and self-examination were strengthened through the revision of the Elevator Safety Management Act, but there have been no significant reduction in serious accidents and major failures. Therefore, the government intends to lay the foundation for reflecting the safety quality rating system, which adjusts the elevator inspection cycle, as a policy to induce safety management of preemptive and active management entities. This study systematically reviewed and classified the safety quality rating system for elevator inspection cycle adjustment in previous studies, collected expert opinions, and reconstructed the key items into realistic evaluation items, and evaluated and scored the relative importance of each factor through the AHP technique.

PURPOSES : In this study, surface distress (SD), rutting depth (RD), and international roughness index (IRI) prediction models are developed based on the zones of Incheon and road classes using regression analysis. Regression analysis is conducted based on a correlation analysis between the pavement performance and influencing factors. METHODS : First, Incheon was categorized by zone such as industrial, port, and residential areas, and the roads were categorized into major and sub-major roads. A weather station triangle network for Incheon was developed using the Delaunay triangulation based on the position of the weather station to match the road sections in Incheon and environmental factors. The influencing factors of the road sections were matched Based on the developed triangular network. Meanwhile, based on the matched influencing factors, a model of the current performance of the road pavement in Incheon was developed by performing multiple regression analysis. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using the developed model to determine the influencing factor that affected each performance factor the most significantly. RESULTS : For the SD model, frost days, daily temperature range, rainy days, tropical nights, and minimum temperatures are used as independent variables. Meanwhile, the truck ratio, freeze–thaw days, precipitation days, annual temperature range, and average temperatures are used for the RD model. For the IRI model, the maximum temperature, freeze–thaw days, average temperature, annual precipitation, and wet days are used. Results from the sensitivity analysis show that frost days for the SD model, precipitation days and freeze–thaw days for the RD model, and wet days for the IRI model impose the most significant effects. CONCLUSIONS : We developed a road pavement performance prediction model using multiple regression analysis based on zones in Incheon and road classes. The developed model allows the influencing factors and circumstances to be predicted, thus facilitating road management.

In this study, surface roughness and interfacial defect characteristics were analyzed after forming a high-k oxide film on the surface of a prime wafer and a test wafer, to study the possibility of improving the quality of the test wafer. As a result of checking the roughness, the deviation in the test after raising the oxide film was 0.1 nm, which was twice as large as that of the Prime. As a result of current-voltage analysis, Prime after PMA was 1.07 × 10 A/cm2 and Test was 5.61 × 10 A/cm2, which was about 5 times lower than Prime. As a result of analyzing the defects inside the oxide film using the capacitancevoltage characteristic, before PMA Prime showed a higher electrical defect of 0.85 × 1012 cm2 in slow state density and 0.41 × 1013 cm2 in fixed oxide charge. However, after PMA, it was confirmed that Prime had a lower defect of 4.79 × 1011 cm2 in slow state density and 1.33 × 1012 cm2 in fixed oxide charge. The above results confirm the difference in surface roughness and defects between the Test and Prime wafer.
