인도네시아는 전 세계에서 여섯 번째로 많은 탄소 배출국으로, 2023년 기준 약 729 MtCO₂를 배출하며 아세안 국가 중 가장 높은 배출량을 기록하고 있다(Global Carbon Atlas). 이러한 탄소 배출은 주로 화석연료 사용과 산림 벌채로 인해 발생한다. 인도네시아 정부 는 파리기후협정에 따라 2030년까지 온실가스 배출을 29% 감축하는 목표를 설정했으며, 이를 달성하기 위해 다양한 저탄소 기술 도입 이 필수적이다. 특히, 도로 건설 분야에서는 탄소 저감과 시공 효율성을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 중온 아스팔트(Warm Mix Asphalt) 기술이 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아에 적합한 중온 아스팔트 기술의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해, 국내 골재와 중온첨가제를 사용하여 인도 네시아 현지 바인더(IN 6070, 침입도 60-70)와 국내 아스팔트 바인더(PG64-22, 침입도 60-80)를 각각 비교 분석하였다. 인도네시아 시방 기준에 따라 배합설계를 수행하였으며, 합성입도는 인도네시아 시방기준과 유사한 입도(WC-2)를 적용하였다. 또한 현지 바인더와 국내 바인더를 비교하여 성능 차이를 분석하고, 중온첨가제를 사용한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우의 혼합물 특성도 평가하였다. 아스팔트 바인더 시험 결과, 인도네시아 바인더는 국내 바인더와 유사하였으며, 중온첨가제를 적용한 경우 점도가 모두 낮아지는 경 향을 보였다. 혼합물 시험 결과(국내 골재 사용) 두 바인더 모두 유사한 성능을 나타냈으며, 중온첨가제를 사용한 경우 가열 아스팔트 대비 약 30℃ 낮은 온도에서도 공극률이 유사하였고, 품질 기준을 모두 만족하였다. 향후 인도네시아의 골재와 바인더에 국내 중온첨 가제를 적용한 시험 결과가 본 연구와 유사하게 나타난다면, 국내 중온첨가제를 인도네시아 도로 건설에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단 된다.

In this study, two things were analyzed for Korean Standards certification factory review evaluation items. First, it was examined whether there is a difference between the Practice of factory review evaluation items and Post-Management according to the change in perception of the factory review evaluation items of Korean Standards certification personnel. Second, the moderating effect of the Korean Standards certification personnel's perception of the effect of the Practice of the factory review evaluation items of Korean Standards certification personnel on Post-Management was verified. Although there is a statistically significant difference between Practice and Post-Management according to changes in perception of Korean Standards personnel, there is no statistically significant difference in the impact (slope) of Practice on Post-Management according to changes in perception of Korean Standards certification personnel. As the perception of factory review evaluation items increases, the Practice and Post-Management of factory review evaluation items are increasing, but the impact of the Practice of factory review evaluation items on Post-Management does not affect it. In order to further advance Korean Standards certification, which plays an important role in maintaining the quality level of products produced by companies, efforts to raise the level of perception of Korean Standards certification personnel are considered necessary.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 비전 센서를 이용한 프리팹 강구조물(PSS: Prefabricated Steel Structures)의 조립부 형상 품질 평가 기법을 소개한다. 스테레오 비전 센서를 통해 모형의 조립부 영상과 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 수집하였으며, 퍼지 기반 엣지 검출, 허프 변 환 기반 원형의 볼트 홀 검출 등의 영상처리 알고리즘을 적용하여 조립부 영역의 볼트홀을 검출하였다. 영상 내 추출된 볼트홀 외곽선 위 세 점의 위치 정보에 대응되는 3차원 실세계 위치 정보를 깊이 영상으로부터 획득하였으며, 이를 기반으로 각 볼트홀의 3차원 중심 위치를 계산하였다. 통계적 기법 중 하나인 주성분 분석 알고리즘(PCA: Principal component analysis) 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 3차 원 위치 정보를 대표하는 최적의 좌표축을 계산하였다. 이를 통해 센서의 설치 방향 및 위치에 따라 센서와 부재 간 평행이 아니더라도 안정적으로 볼트홀 간의 거리를 계측하도록 하였다. 각 볼트홀의 2차원 위치 정보를 기반으로 볼트홀의 순서를 정렬하였으며, 정렬된 볼트홀의 위치 정보를 바탕으로 인접한 볼트홀 간의 각 축의 거리 정보를 계산하여 조립부 볼트홀 위치 중심의 형상 품질을 분석하였 다. 측정된 볼트홀 간의 거리 정보는 실제 도면의 거리 정보와의 절대오차와 상대오차를 계산하여 성능 비교를 진행하였으며, 중앙값 기준 1mm 내의 절대오차와 4% 이내의 상대오차의 계측 성능을 확인하였다.

Approximately 40,000 elevators are installed every year in Korea, and they are used as a convenient means of transportation in daily life. However, the continuous increase in elevators has a social problem of increased safety accidents behind the functional aspect of convenience. There is an emerging need to induce preemptive and active elevator safety management by elevator management entities by strengthening the management of poorly managed elevators. Therefore, this study examines domestic research cases related to the evaluation items of the elevator safety quality rating system conducted in previous studies, and develops a statistical model that can examine the effect of elevator maintenance quality as a result of the safety management of the elevator management entity. We review two types: odds ratio analysis and logistic regression analysis models.

The spectrum of this study was research on the closed hydroponic cultivation of netted melons (Cucumis melo L.) using coir substrate, analyzing the impact of this cultivation method on melon yield, fruit quality, and the efficiency of water and nutrient usage. The experimental results showed that the average fruit weight of the melons grown in a closed system was 71.4 g higher than that of the open system, and the fruit width was on average 0.2 cm larger, showing a statistically significant difference. However, there was no difference in the average sugar content of the fruit flesh and height. Although there is no substantial commercial difference, it is conjectured that the change in the macronutrients ratio in the irrigation has played a role in the statistically significant increase in fruit weight, which is attributed to changes in the crops' nutrient uptake concentrations. This necessitates further research for a more comprehensive understanding. In terms of the productivity of irrigation required to produce the fruit, applying the closed system resulted in an increase of 7.6 kg/ton compared to the open system, saving 31.6% of water resources. Additionally, in terms of nutrients, cultivating in a closed system allowed for savings of approximately 59, 25, 55, 83, 76, and 87% of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S, respectively, throughout the entire cultivation period. As the drainage was reused, the ratios of NO3 - and Ca2+ increased up to a maximum of 9.6 and 9.1%, respectively, while the ratios of other ions gradually decreased. In summary, these results suggest that closed hydroponic cultivation can effectively optimize the use of water and fertilizer while maintaining excellent fruit quality in melon cultivation.

This study examines the effect of cosmetic certification marks on consumer behavior. The underlying objectives of this study are threefold. First, it explores whether the certification mark inserted into the cosmetic package—such as marks denoting quality assurances, ethical practices (specifically, pertaining to animal testing), and recycling packaging—affects consumer responses. Second, it investigates whether a higher number of certification marks leads to heightened positive consumer responses. Third, it analyzes the potential moderating effect of consumers’ certification mark knowledge on the relationship between certification marks and consumer responses. In the pretest, certification marks with higher recognition were selected as stimuli, and a survey involving a total of 550 male and female consumers was conducted. The collected data were analyzed through ANOVA and post-hoc tests. The findings of this study confirm a significant difference in consumer responses to products based on the certification marks inserted in the cosmetic packaging. Compared to clusters without a certification mark, groups with two or more certifications (recycling certification + ethics certification, recycling certification + quality certification, recycling certification + ethics certification + quality certification) exhibit significant consumer responses. Second, more certification marks did not result in an increase in positive consumer responses. Third, a moderating effect of consumers’ cosmetic certification knowledge on the certification mark-consumer response relationship was not found. The findings of this study have implications for developing product promotion strategies that leverage cosmetic certification marks as a marketing tool.

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.

Corni Fructus (CF) is a fruit of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. and has been used as traditional oriental medicine. It has various functional qualities such as being antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antihyperglycemic, and immunity-regulating. In the current study, CF was extracted from two conventional extract solvents (distilled water (DW) and 70% ethanol) with/without high-speed homogenization (HSH) treatments. The extract was characterized by measuring the total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities. The HSH treatment significantly improved the total polyphenol content (from 28.4±0.9 mg/mL to 35.5±0.9 mg/mL), ABTS (from 59.8±0.4% to 78.4±2.7%), and DPPH radical scavenging activities (from 50.8±1.4% to 59.7±2.8%) of the DW extract and showed a level similar to that of 70% ethanol extract. The CF extracts were further used to prepare functional jelly with gelatin and other components such as pectin, fructooligosaccharide, and citric acid. The jelly’s hardness, springiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness were characterized using a texture profile analysis (TPA).

지구온난화 완화를 위한 노력이 전 세계적으로 계속되고 있는 가운데 우리나라는 2030년 온실가스 배출량을 Business As Usual (BAU) 대비 37% 감축하는 목표를 설정하고 이산화탄소 순 배출 제로 달성을 목표로 하는 ‘2050탄소중립 시나리오’를 발표하였다. 이러한 상황에서 케나프 (Kenaf)는 높은 탄소흡수율과 빠른 성장으로 인해 대체 해결방안으로 제안된다. 시료선정에 대한 분석결과, 케나프 잎은 질소 함량이 높아 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났고, 줄기와 잎-줄기 혼합 케나프는 Biomass-Solid Refuse Fuel (Bio-SRF) 등급을 충족했다. Bio-SRF 등급을 만족하였지만, Bio-SRF 등급으로 이용할 수 있는 활용처가 뚜렷하지 않다. 따라서 케나프의 연료품질을 반탄화 공정을 통해 개선하여 보다 효율적으로 활용하고자 한다. 반탄화 공정의 공시재료로 줄기만 사용하는 것보다 시료 이용률이 높은 잎-줄기 혼합 케나프를 선택하였다. 반탄화 공정은 여섯가지의 공정 온도 (200·210·220·230·240·250℃)와 다른 세 가지 공정 시간(20·30·40 min)에서 수행되었다. 반탄화 공정결과, 공정시간이 길수록 230℃, 240℃, 250℃ 온도에서 질량감소가 크기 때문에 에너지수율이 낮았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 200℃·20 min, 200℃·30 min, 210℃·20 min, 220℃·20 min의 에너지 수율이 높고 질량감소가 작아 최적 반탄화 공정 조건으로 선정하였다.

This study evaluated the nutritional composition and quality traits of rabbit meat as compared to chicken meat. Samples of loin (M. longissimus dorsi) and breast meats were collected from rabbit and chicken carcasses, respectively. The meats were then analyzed for the proximate composition, collagen and energy contents, fatty acid composition, myoglobin and heme iron contents, pH value, water-holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, meat color, Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) value, and texture profile. Compared to chicken breast meat, lower (p<0.05) protein content and higher (p<0.05) ash and collagen contents were obtained in rabbit loin meat. Rabbit meat remarkably had higher (p<0.05) total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and linolenic acid contents and lower (p<0.05) n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio as compared to chicken meat. The pH value and WHC were lower (p<0.05) in rabbit meat than in chicken meat (p<0.05). Rabbit meat exhibited lower (p<0.05) L* value and higher (p<0.05) a* and b* values compared to chicken meat (p<0.05). The WBSF value, hardness, and gumminess were higher (p<0.05) in rabbit meat than in chicken meat (p<0.05). These findings suggest that rabbit meat has higher essential n-3 PUFA, darker color, and firmer texture as compared to chicken meat.
