본 연구는 행정동 내 범죄위험의 분포양상을 유형화하고, 유형별로 범죄기회를 유발하는 영향요인을 분석하였다. 행정동별 범죄위험 등급의 평균, 표준편차, 지니계수를 활용하여 유형화 기준을 설정하고, 이를 바탕으로 8가지 유형을 도출하였다. 이후 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 행정동별 범죄위험 분포양상의 유형을 결정짓는 요인을 확인하였다. 또한 대표적 유형인 ‘균등 저위험 (LLL)’과 ‘불균등 고위험(HHH)’ 지역을 대상으로 공간회귀분석을 수행하여, 각각의 범죄위험 평균에 영향을 미치는 요인을 비교하 였다. 분석 결과, 유흥시설, 주거용 건물 등 촉진요인과 지구대･파출소, 비상벨 등 억제요인의 작용 방식은 유형별로 상이하게 나타났으며, 동일한 영향요인이라 하더라도 유형에 따라 효과의 방향과 강도가 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 범죄위험 분포양상의 유형별로 영향요인에 대한 차별적 해석이 요구되고, 목적에 따라 분석 범위 및 대상을 적절히 설정할 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구는 범죄기회 억제를 위한 지역 맞춤형 정책 수립의 기초 연구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

호서지역은 남한지역 청동기 문화의 대표적인 유형이 고루 분포하고 있는 핵심적인 위치이다. 청동 기시대 유형의 연구는 전기 유형으로 정의되어온 가락동, 역삼동, 흔암리의 개념으로 출발하여 발굴 사례의 축적과 함께 지속적으로 변화하였다. 최근에는 다양한 변이를 보여주는 자료에 대한 해석 틀 의 부재, 기존 유형과의 모호한 대응관계, 탄소연대 자료의 활용으로 새로운 해석이 추가되면서 유형 연구에 대한 다양한 시각이 도출되는 양상이다. 호서지역 전기 취락 유형은 공간적으로는 5개의 지역 권으로, 시간적으로는 3단계로 구분하여 각각의 특징을 검토하였다. 취락유형의 경계는 크게 세 가지 형태로 구분할 수 있으며, 취락 유형 간 뚜렷한 분포지역의 차이, 지역 내 이질적인 요소의 관입, 혼 재된 취락유형의 동시 사용, 시기를 달리한 취락 주체의 변화 등이 확인되었다. 청동기시대 전기 취락 유형 가운데 미사리, 가락동, 역삼동, 송국리 유형은 기층 유형에 해당하며 관념단위로 볼 수 있다. 기층 유형은 변이를 구성하고 있는 요소들을 인지하는데 적합한 개념이다. 그리고 흔암리유형을 위시 한 백석동, 조동리 등의 파생유형은 이러한 변이들에 대한 설명을 위해 발생한 현상단위로 볼 수 있 다. 청동기시대 유형 연구에서 새롭게 고려할 부분은 크게 두 가지로 요약된다. 첫째는 한반도의 광역 적 환경 변화 등의 최신 자료 검토로서, 이러한 자료는 취락의 형태와 생계, 인구의 이동 등에서 시사 하는 바가 있으며 지속적인 관찰이 필요하다. 둘째는 유형을 결정짓는 개별 요소에 대한 구체적 설명 이 유형의 왜곡을 최소화할 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있다. 결과적으로, 복잡하고 세분화 되어있는 변이 의 양상도 어떤 조합, 어떤 시점 어떤 공간에서는 분류가 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위해 기층 유형으로 만 고고자료를 설명하는 시도는 지양되어야 하며, 지역 단위와 유형의 위계를 구분하여 연구자들이 인지 가능한 설명 방법으로 접근해야 한다.

This study investigated the wetland plant community in Mije Reservoir, Gunsan City, during September and October 2024, emphasizing its ecological significance as a primary producer and habitat provider within agricultural reservoir ecosystems. The reservoir was divided into 14 distinct sectors to comprehensively assess spatial plant distribution patterns. Aquatic plants were sampled using collection anchors deployed at the water’s edge, while hygrophytes and emergent macrophytes were surveyed along transects extending from the water’s edge to the embankment. A total of 192 vascular plant species were identified, of which 73 were classified as wetland plant species, encompassing diverse life forms: 36 hygrophytes, 17 emergent macrophytes, 6 floating-leaf species, 3 free-floating species, and 11 submerged species. Notably, the survey documented the presence of two endangered species, Euryale ferox and Cicuta virosa, alongside eight invasive alien plant species. A comparative analysis with a prior survey conducted in 2008 revealed a substantial increase of 54 wetland plant species. Currently, Mije Reservoir is subject to intensive aquatic plant removal management due to observed excessive proliferation and cyanobacterial bloom. However, the presence of endangered species underscores the critical need for a more nuanced reservoir vegetation management strategy that integrates the spatial distribution and conservation status of these ecologically important wetland plants.

Various cystic diseases or benign tumors can occur in the jaw, and diagnosis through accurate analysis is essential. In clinical examination, objective tests such as palpation, percussion, and pulp vitality tests are mainly performed on the patient's subjective symptoms, and differential diagnosis is performed by combining radiological and histopathological examinations. This study aims to analyze the incidence rate, location, and recurrence rate of cystic diseases and benign tumors that appear as radiolucent lesions in the jaw. From 2016 to 2020, 1,293 patients diagnosed with cystic diseases or benign tumors with radiolucent radiographic features in Pusan National University Hospital were identified. Under general anesthesia, patients were subjected to cyst enucleation or excision, and the masses were sent for pathohistological examination at the Department of Pathology, Pusan National University Hospital for definitive diagnosis. The incidence rate, location, and recurrence rate of the diseases mentioned above were analyzed. 1,293 patients were diagnosed, with dentigerous cysts being the most common, followed by radicular cysts, odontogenic keratocysts (OKC), and ameloblastomas. Most ameloblastomas, dentigerous cysts, and OKCs were located in the mandibular posterior region, whereas radicular cysts were predominantly observed in the maxillary anterior region. Recurrence was most notable in ameloblastomas and OKCs. Dentigerous cysts are the most common radiolucent jaw lesions, while ameloblastomas and OKCs show high recurrence rates, thus requiring careful management. The lesions vary in their predominant locations, with ameloblastomas, dentigerous cysts, and OKCs commonly occurring in the mandibular posterior region, and radicular cysts in the maxillary anterior region. Given the differences in recurrence rates and site predilections, it is crucial to differentiate these lesions accurately based on their characteristics and provide appropriate treatment tailored to each type.

This study investigated the distribution and growth performance of Bolboschoenus planiculmis under varying estuarine environmental conditions. We aimed to determine the optimal planting methods and environmental conditions with respect to salinity, soil texture, and tidal regimes on its growth performance. Our findings revealed a significant reduction in B. planiculmis coverage, shrinking to 955,393 m2 in 2024, representing only 38.59% of that compared to 2004. The plant’s survival rate exhibited a clear salinity gradient: 0 ppt (89±8.01%)>5 ppt (64±4.56%)>15 ppt (37±4.25%)>30 ppt (0±0.00%). Planting density significantly influenced growth, with 24 tubers m-2 yielding the highest number of plants per tuber (14.67±0.33). A planting depth of 5 cm proved optimal for tuber germination and growth. Soil texture analysis demonstrated that a lower sand content promoted growth, with the highest density observed in soil containing 10% sand (435±6.96 plants m-2). Tidal influence also played an important role, with areas experiencing regular tidal fluctuations fostering the most successful growth. Planting tubers or young plants with attached tubers in these tidal zones led to the highest survival rates and biomass.

Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do region host numerous significant wetlands, including the Nakdong River Estuary, one of the largest migratory bird habitats in East Asia, making it an essential habitat for waterbirds. However, issues such as wetland area reduction have arisen due to accelerated industrialization and urbanization since the 1980s. This study analyzed annual and monthly changes in waterbird populations and examined habitat use patterns and interrelationships among four wetlands in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do: the Nakdong River Estuary (NRE), Lower Nakdong River (LNR), Junam Reservoir (JUR), and Upo Wetland (UPO), using waterbird data collected from 1999 to 2024. The results showed a decreasing trend in waterbirds at the NRE and UPO, while an increasing trend was observed at the LNR and JUR. Notably, populations of Anatidae decreased at the NRE and UPO but increased at the LNR and JUR, indicating that changes in Anatidae significantly influenced waterbird population trends. Monthly population fluctuations were particularly pronounced at the NRE and LNR. While the population decreased at the NRE after November, it increased at the LNR. This suggests that waterbirds moved to the LNR due to habitat and food resource reductions in the NRE. In contrast, the JUR and UPO exhibited weaker associations with the other sites. This study aims to contribute to future wetland management and waterbird conservation strategies in the Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do region.

This study investigated the annual change and distribution of flora, including endangered species, Korean Red List species, and invasive plants, in the Nakdong River Estuary Ecological Park over a 10-year period (2013~2023). The park was established in 2009 as part of the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project. The investigation identified a total of 704 taxa, comprising 137 families, 401 genera, 631 species, 18 subspecies, 38 varieties, 11 forms, and 6 hybrids. Eulsukdo Ecological Park exhibited the highest plant diversity with 531 taxa, followed by Hwamyeong (404 taxa), Samnak (387 taxa), Daejeo (369 taxa), and Maekdo (356 taxa). The endangered wildlife survey identified three endangered plant species (Class II): Euryale ferox, Brasenia schreberi, and Saururus chinensis. Following the endangered species restoration project, E. ferox has been consistently observed both within the restoration area and the riparian of main channel. The Urbanization Index (UI) was highest in Eulsukdo Ecological Park (24.1%), followed by Hwamyeong (20.0%), Samnak (18.1%), Maekdo (17.8%), and Daejeo Ecological Parks (16.7%). Twelve invasive plants were identified: Sicyos angulatus, Lactuca scariola, Ambrosia trifida, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Solanum carolinense, Aster pilosus, Hypochaeris radicata, Rumex acetosella, S. altissima, Paspalum disticum, Paspalum distichum var. indutum, and Humulus japonicus. Notably, S. altissima showed a significant decrease in its total distribution area, shrinking from 741,092 m2 in 2021 to 241,396 m2 in 2024. Continuous monitoring and management are necessary to prevent invasive plants, including ecosystem-disturbing species, from forming large colonies and hindering the growth of native plants.

너도밤나무속(Fagus spp.)은 북반구 온대 활엽수림의 대표적인 속(genus) 중 하나로 우리나라에는 울릉도에만 자생 하는 너도밤나무(Fagus multinervis)가 있다. 본 연구는 너도밤나무속에 대해 기후적인 관점으로 우리나라 육지에서의 생육 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 종분포모형(SDM) 중 기계학습(machine learning)인 Maxent(Maximum entropy) 모형을 이용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 유형은 5가지로 우리나라 너도밤나무만을 대상으로 한 유형(Case1_Fm), F. multinervis와 F. japonica를 묶은 유형(Case2_Fmj), F. multinervis와 F. crenata를 묶은 유형(Case3_Fmc), 3종을 모두 합친 유형(Case4_Fmjc), 각 종마다 분석한 뒤 중첩한 유형(Case5_Ovlp)으로 분류하였다. 분석결과 Case1_Fm은 우리나라 육지에서 생육 가능성이 거의 나타나지 않았으며, Case2_Fmj~Case5_Ovlp의 경우 동해안 일부 지역에서 낮은 생육 가능성이 나타났다. 이때 주요 환경변수는 가장 따뜻한 달의 최고기온(Bio5)과 강수량 계절성(Bio15)이었다. 또한, Worldclim의 Bioclim 환경변수를 이용해 우리나라 전체, 우리나라 육지에서 생육 가능성이 나타난 동해안 지역, 3종에 대한 너도밤나무속 출현지점에 대하여 환경 특성을 분석하였다. 우리나라 전체 평균과 달리 동해안 지역, F. multinervis 관측지점은 계절적인 온도 차이가 작고, 강수량 변동이 높지 않아 계절성이 강하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과는 너도밤나무 조경수 생육을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이라 기대한다.

This study investigated the spatial distribution of dissolved organic carbon and the changes in tidal flat soil characteristics following the flooding season in the closed estuary of the Geumgang River basin. We found that after the flooding season, a brackish water area expanded due to increased river discharge, which also introduced low concentrations of dissolved organic carbon from the river. Dissolved inorganic carbon predominantly originated from the sea in proportion to salinity, indicating that in the closed estuary area, dissolved carbon supplied from the sea remained a significant source even after the flooding season. Additionally, a substantial amount of tidally transported silt and clay was deposited near the estuary dam after the flood, and its effects continued to influence the sediment characteristics downstream in the intertidal zone. As an empirical study in the closed estuary, our results are expected to contribute to conservation measures for the World Heritage Site in the area.

국내에 유입되는 외래종의 수는 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 외래거북의 경우 지난 20년 동안 63개국에서 약 110톤이 유입되었다. 외래파충류는 인기있는 반려동물로 온라인과 오프라인에서 약 39종이 판매되고 있으며, 이중 일부는 야생으로 유입되고 있다. 현재까지 1속, 5종의 외래거북류가 생태계교란 생물로 지정되어 있으며, 늑대거북은 2022년 신규지정되었다. 늑대거북은 2014년 발견 이후 자연에서의 발견 보고가 없다가, 2019년부터 지속적으로 발견되 고 있다. 본 연구에서는 늑대거북의 국내 정착 현황을 파악하고자, 문헌조사 및 외래거북류 산란지에서 채집한 알의 난각 DNA를 분석하였다. 또한 2022년 생태계교란 생물로 지정 당시 늑대거북의 사육현황을 파악하기 위해 사육유예 신청서 검토결과를 분석하였다. 국내의 자연생태계에서 발견된 늑대거북 38개체 중 70% 이상이 온라인검색 또는 국가동물보호시스템을 통해 확인되었고 채집된 거북류 알의 난각 DNA 분석결과, 수원에서 늑대거북의 알 1개가 확인되어 국내에 번식하고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 2022년 10월 28일부터 2023년 4월 27일까지 사육유예 신청서 110건을 검토한 결과 총 155개체가 사육되고 있으며 66.5%가 개인사육인 것으로 확인되었다. 국내 자연생태계 정착과 사육, 번식을 확인하는데 시민들의 신고가 다수를 차지하여 생태계교란 생물에 대한 시민 교육과 관리제도의 홍보가 중요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 늑대거북의 사육시작 연도는 2003년이었고, 최초 수입 기록은 2015년으로 보고된 바 있어 외래생물의 수입과 유통을 관리하는 부처와 법정관리종 지정·관리기관의 정보를 통합 관리할 필요가 있어 보인다.

Ceramic materials have become essential due to their high durability, chemical stability, and excellent thermal stability in various advanced industries such as aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor. However, high-performance ceramic materials face limitations in commercialization due to the high cost of raw materials and complex manufacturing processes. Aluminum borate (Al₁₈B₄O₃₃) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its superior mechanical strength and thermal stability, despite its simple manufacturing process and low production cost. In this study, we propose a method for producing Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ spherical powder with increased uniformity and high flowability by controlling the particle size of B₂O₃. The content ratio of the manufactured Al18B4O33 spherical powder was Al2O3: B2O3 = 87:13, and it exhibited a 17% reduction in the Hausner ratio (1.04) and a 29% decrease in the angle of repose (23.9°) compared to pre-milling conditions, demonstrating excellent flowability.

In this study, 41 individuals in 7 locations within CP, MG, UC, and DN map sheets were observed. The MG map sheet had the highest number (n=13) of individuals, while the CP-3 site on the CP map sheet had the lowest number (n=1) of individuals. Land use analysis indicated that the MG site with the highest number of individuals had a high percentage (70.56%) of forest land areas with a small percentage (12.63%) of farmland areas. The CP-3 site with the lowest number of individuals had a small percentage (26.47%) of farmland areas. It also had the highest percentage (32.13%) of residential and commercial areas, covering 19,616 m2. Measurement results of the physical habitat environment for B. karubei indicated a mean substrate of -2.1 (Φm), an average water depth of 63.0 cm, and a flow velocity of 0.2 m s-1. The association rule analysis for co-occurring species revealed that Semisulcospira coreana, Ecdyonurus kibunensis, and Goera japonica had the highest associations among lotic species, while Limnodrilus gotoi and Calopteryx japonica demonstrated the highest association among lentic species.

잠자리목은 습지 생태계의 환경의 질을 나타내는 생물 지표로 알려져 있으며, 이들의 분포와 풍부도는 습지 생태계 평가 및 생물다양성의 척 도로 활용된다. 본 연구는 환경부에서 지정·관리하는 습지보호지역 25개소를 대상으로 습지 유형별 잠자리목 분포 현황을 분석하여 서식지 보전 및 기후변화에 따른 종의 분포 변화에 관한 자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 조사 결과, 총 10과 67종이 확인되었으며, 잠자리과(Libellulidae) 24종 으로 가장 많이 관찰되었고 하천습지 52종, 산지습지 50종, 호수습지 30종, 인공습지 32종이 확인되었다. 기후변화 생물지표종인 푸른아시아실잠 자리(Ischnura senegalensis)와 연분홍실잠자리(Ceriagrion nipponicum)는 서식지가 점차 북쪽으로 확장되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 고유종인 꼬마 측범잠자리(Nihonogomphus minor)와 산측범잠자리(Asiagomphus melanopsoides)는 개체군 크기가 작아 지속적인 모니터링을 통한 관리 방안이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구결과는 습지보호구역에 분포하는 잠자리의 생태적 특성을 조사하여 습지 생태계의 보전과 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the measurement and distribution of microplastics in the atmosphere and their role in the adsorption and transport of organic and inorganic pollutants. Due to their small size, large surface area, and hydrophobic nature, microplastics can adsorb a wide range of pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals. These pollutants, strongly bound to the surface of microplastics, can remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, facilitating the widespread distribution of contaminants. Building on existing research, this paper systematically reviews the sampling, pretreatment, and analytical methodologies applied to study microplastics in the air. Furthermore, it examines the influence of environmental factors on the adsorption and desorption dynamics of pollutants associated with microplastics. Various studies indicate that microplastics can interact with pollutants such as heavy metals, organic compounds, and microorganisms to form complex contaminants. These complexes can be transported and redistributed across long distances in the atmosphere, amplifying their environmental and health impacts. This review highlights that microplastics are not merely a pollutant themselves but serve as a vehicle for the migration and dispersion of other contaminants. This dual role emphasizes the significant risks microplastics pose to public health and the environment, necessitating further research and effective mitigation strategies.

This study was conducted to collect data from various regions of Jejudo Island, Korea to establish a more accurate and complete academic listing of mushrooms on the island by identifying and organizing them using base sequence analysis. The investigation was performed over five years, from 2019 to 2023, and included a total of nine sites in the southern, western, and eastern areas of Jejudo Island. In total, 481 unique mushroom varieties were collected during the study. These mushrooms included 387 specimens that were classified into 6 classes, 18 orders, 55 families, 118 genera, and 201 species, and 94 unclassified specimens for which the precise species was not known. The collected mushrooms classified by ecotype consisted of 148 species of saprophytes, 47 species of symbionts, and 6 species of parasites. Differences in occurrence patterns were also observed depending on topographical characteristics and vegetation. Finally, three climate-sensitive biological indicator species and two candidate species were also collected, as well as the tropical mushroom Macrocybe gigantea. This study identified 91 species of mushrooms that were previously unreportedon the Jejudo Island. According to the current findings and those previously reported, 7 classes, 26 orders, 123 families, 399 genera, and 1,102 species of mushrooms have been compiled on Jejudo Island to date.

This study aims to prepare reference data that can be used to improve the size suitability of elderly men’s casual wear. The sizes of men aged 65–84 from the 8th Size Korea were analyzed and compared with those aged 45–54. First, as a result of classifying their body types according to Syzing systems for male adult’s garments (KS K 0050), more than 50% of the drop body types were “a protruding belly type (BB),” and more than 95% of the lower body types were “a thick waist type (B).” Additionally, elderly men with type BB or B were 3–5cm shorter in height, waist height, chest circumference, and hip circumference than middle-aged men. As there are currently only a few brands for elderly men, this means that the following problems may arise: If an elderly man wears a middle-aged man’s top based on his chest size, the chest and hip circumferences are adequate, but the length is insufficient, the waist circumference is insufficient, and the shoulder width is considered to be excessive. Similarly, pants designed to fit a waist size designation for middle-aged individuals will be larger than intended in terms of length, hip circumference, and thigh circumference.
