고속도로 2차 사고는 선행 사고(1차 사고) 또는 전방 고장 차량에 의해 교통흐름이 변화된 상황에서 발생하는 사고로, 이에 대한 효과적인 교통안전 관리전략이 필요하다. 그러나 일반사고에 비해 데이터 표본이 부족하여 신뢰성 있는 대응 전략 수립에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 고속도로에서 발생하는 2차 사고의 발생 주요 요인을 식별하고 예측하기 위해 BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) 기반 텍스트 분석 모델과 전통적 머신러닝 모델 (XGBoost, RandomForest, CatBoost)을 비교하였다. 교통사고 세부기록, 원클릭 속보자료 등 비정형 텍스트 및 정형 데 이터를 수집하고 1차 사고에 관한 시공간적 동적 변수를 통합하여 인공지능 기반의 사고 예측 프레임워크를 구축하였다. 특히, BERT 기반 모델을 통해 교통사고 문맥 정보를 고려하여 단어 삽입 및 대체 기법에 따른 2차사고 데이터 표본을 보완하였다. 또한, 설명가능한 AI(XAI) 기법을 활용하여 주요 사고 요인의 기여도를 시각적으로 해석하고 사고 예방 및 정책 수립에 필요한 정보를 제공하였다. 연구 결과, 제안된 하이브리드 접근법 기반 연구 프레임워크는 높은 정확도의 2 차 사고 발생 가능성 예측에 효과적이며, 교통사고관리시스템의 신뢰성과 효율성 향상에 핵심적인 기여를 할 것으로 기 대된다.

Ectopic ureter refers to a congenital anomaly in which one or both ureters do not connect to the urinary bladder at the correct anatomical site. This case report discusses the case of a 6-year-old female mixed-breed dog diagnosed with chronic urinary incontinence, systemic hypertension, pancreatitis, and sepsis resulting from an ectopic ureter. Treatment involved an initial nephro-ureterectomy to address severe pyonephrosis, followed by ureteroneocystostomy for the remaining functional kidney. Post-surgical outcomes showed notable improvements in clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and blood pressure. This report emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment in cases of ectopic ureter. Additionally, it aims to present the clinical symptoms and conditions resulting from prolonged disease progression, as well as the corresponding treatment methods and prognosis.

태풍은 지구 시스템 내의 해양-대기-육상 상호작용을 일으키는 매우 중요한 현상으로 특히 태풍의 특성 인자 중 하나인 풍속은 중심 기압, 이동 경로, 해수면 온도 등의 매개변수에 의해 복잡하게 변화하여 실제 관측 자료를 기반으 로 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 2015 개정 교육과정 기반 중등학교 교과서에서 태풍 풍속은 본문 내용 및 삽화의 형태로 제시되고 있어 풍속에 대한 심층적 이해가 가능한 탐구활동이 무엇보다 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 교수-학습 과 정에서 간단한 조작만으로도 태풍의 풍속을 이해할 수 있도록 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(GUI)를 기반으로 한 데이터 시각화 프로그램을 개발하였다. 2023년 발생한 태풍 마와르, 구촐, 볼라벤의 천리안 위성 2 A호 RGB (Red-Green-Blue) 영상 자료를 입력 자료로 활용하였다. 태풍 주변의 구름 이동 좌표를 입력하여 태풍의 풍속을 산출하고 태풍 중심 기 압, 폭풍 반경, 최대 풍속 등의 매개 변수를 입력하여 태풍 풍속 분포를 시각화 할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 GUI 기반 프로그램은 천리안 위성 2 A호로 관측 가능한 태풍에 대해 오류 없이 적용 가능하며 교과서의 시공 간적 한계를 벗어난 실제 관측 자료 기반의 과학탐구활동이 가능하다. 학생과 교사는 별도의 유료 프로그램 및 전문적 인 코딩 지식이 없어도 실제 관측 자료를 수집, 처리, 분석, 시각화하는 과정을 경험할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 미래 정보 화 사회에서의 필수 역량인 디지털 소양을 함양시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The secondary growth model for Salmonella was developed based on the artificial neural network (ANN) with data collected from ComBase and FoodData Central. In addition to the existing secondary model variables (temperature, pH, Na+, and water contents), more input variables (sugar, carbohydrate, lipid, and protein contents) were considered. The output variables were microbial growth parameters (lag phase duration [l] and maximum growth rate [mmax]). A commercial ANN program (NeuralWorks Predict) was utilized with training at 80%, validation at 10%, and test data at 10%. ANN models were created using all data and cleansed data. Using the cleansed data, the training/testing root mean square error (RMSE) for mmax improved from 0.14/0.16 to 0.11/0.14, whereas the RMSE for l was still not acceptable, from 11.94/33.03 to 7.09/4.18. The l data were divided into two ranges with high and low goodness of fit, whereas the ANN model for each field was built, resulting in an optimally low RMSE.

This study examines the characteristics of berries from secondary bearing shoots of ‘Scintilla’ southern highbush blueberry, grown hydroponically in the Jinju, Gimhae, and Uiryeong regions of Gyeongnam Province. Typically, ‘Scintilla’ forms flower buds at the tips of regular bearing shoots during the previous season, yielding berries in the current season. However, under heated cultivation, we observed a proliferation of secondary bearing shoots that produce berries in the same growing season. Flowering and harvesting on secondary bearing shoots were delayed by 52 and 36 days, respectively, compared to regular bearing shoots. However, these shoots exhibited a 54% increase in diameter and a 10% increase in length. We found no significant difference in berry size and soluble solid content between the two types of shoots. Notably, berries from the secondary bearing shoots had higher potassium and lower calcium and magnesium concentrations. We conclude that berries from secondary bearing shoots could be marketable, provided the bushes are healthy. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing cultural practices to improve the yield and quality of blueberries under specific environmental conditions.

This paper presents a case study of developing a blended reading program for Korean EFL middle school students using a process drama methodology to generate intrinsic motivation to read, improve reading comprehension and language fluency, and foster twenty-first-century skills such as creativity, communication, and cooperation. For the development of the reading program, a needs analysis was conducted using student questionnaires and diagnostic tests. From results of the needs analysis, sample lessons were designed based on the process drama methodology following its planning principles and strategies. Based on feedback from teachers and students after piloting the sample lessons, the blended reading program was finalized. The proposed blended reading program is expected to help Korean EFL middle school students build a positive attitude toward reading English books and develop reading comprehension, language fluency, and 21st-century core competencies. It will also encourage English teachers to use innovative teaching methods in English education.

This study deals with improvement plans and application results to improve the safety of secondary batteries and chargers applied to Tactical Multi-band Multi-role Radio(TMMR), a new military communication equipment. Due to the nature of the portable weapon system, the terminal structure and manufacturing process of the battery and charger were improved to strengthen resistance to vibration and shock generated during movement, and the battery structure was partially changed to secure resistance to mechanical shock generated when the charger was coupled. In addition, retrospective application was completed for all secondary batteries and chargers previously delivered for TMMR, helping the Korean military to operate next-generation radios in a safer environment.

Sarcomatous transformation of fibrous dysplasia (FD) is rare and can occur in patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). To date, there have been several cases of malignant transformation of FD in the craniofacial area of patients with MAS. Here, we report an additional case of secondary osteosarcoma arising from FD in the mandible of a 41-year-old woman with MAS. The patient complained of rapid swelling in the right facial area, which was initially misdiagnosed as soft tissue sarcoma at another hospital. After neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy resulting in poor response, the lesion was surgically resected in our hospital, and the final diagnosis of secondary osteosarcoma was rendered. Currently, post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy is in progress. As a result of our review of 17 reported cases showing malignant transformation in FD/MAS, the M/F ratio was 1:1.1, and the median age at onset of malignancy was 28.6 years. The most commonly affected site was the craniofacial bones (n=13; 76%), and the most common histopathologic type of malignancy was osteosarcoma (n=14; 82%). More than half of the patients (8/15; 53.3%) died within 1 year, mainly due to lung metastasis (6/8; 75%). Taken together, since MAS patients with malignant transformation of FD have a relatively poor prognosis, accurate diagnosis based on histopathologic findings as well as clinical and radiographic information is important to select optimal treatment.

The strengthening of environmental regulations has raised interest in alternative energy and electric car. Secondary batteries are such energy storage device, and in this study, a secondary batteries production equipment parts will be manufactured. To this end, molds were designed and manufactured using numerical analysis. The reliability of analysis is to be confirmed through tensile tests and X-ray tests of products cast with manufactured molds. As the results of the casting method design parts was obtained as the average ultimate tensile strength of 178.23N/mm2, 173.85N/mm2 was recorded and good test results were achieved. It is considered that aluminum alloy research and heat treatment technology development should be carried out in the future.

The aim of this study was to analyze the semantic network structure of keywords and the visual composition of images extracted from Instagram in relation to the multipersona phenomenon with in fashion imagery, which has recently been attracting attention. To this end, the concept of a ‘secondary character’, which forms a separate identity from a ‘main character’ on various social media platforms as well as on the airwaves, was considered as the spread of multi-persona and #SecondaryCharacter on Instagram was investigated. 3,801 keywords were collected after crawling the data using Python and morphological analysis was undertaken using KoNLP. The semantic network structure was then examined by conducting a CONCOR analysis using UCINET and Netdraw to determine the top 50 keywords. The results were then classified into a total of 6 clusters. In accordance with the meaning and context of the keywords included in each cluster, group names were assigned : virtual characters, relationship with the main character, hobbies, daily record, N-job person, media and marketing. Image analysis considered the technical, compositional, and social styles of the media based on Gillian Rose’s visual analysis method. The results determined that Instagram uses fashion images that virtualize one's face to produce multi-persona representation s that show various occupations, describe different types of hobbies, and depict situations pertaining to various social roles.

엘니뇨는 전지구적인 규모로 기후 변화를 유발하는 대표적인 해양-대기 상호작용 현상으로서 지구과학 분야에서 매우 중요한 교수-학습 소재로 사용되고 있다. 본 논고에서는 적도 해류계의 분포 특징 및 발생 역학에 관해 정리하였으며, 엘니뇨 시기의 적도 해류계 변동과 관련 오개념에 관해 조사하였다. 엘니뇨 시기에는 북적도해류, 남적도해류, 적도잠류들이 유의미하게 약화된다. 그러나 북적도반류는 중심축을 중심으로 남쪽 성분은 강화되고 북쪽 성분은 약화되면서 적도 쪽으로 남하하기 때문에 엘니뇨 시기의 북적도반류의 변동에 대해서는 일반화할 수 없다. 또한 서태평양에서는 북적도반류의 남하 폭이 커져 결과적으로 적도 서태평양에서는 동향류가 관측된다. 일부 대중 매체를 통한 과학 기사, 중등학교 평가 문항 뿐만 아니라 현직 교사들을 대상으로 한 설문 조사 결과 분석을 통해 엘니뇨 시기의 적도 해류계의 변동에 관한 개념이 통일되지 않았음을 확인하였다. 이는 기존에 사용되고 있는 엘니뇨 모식도의 부정확한 해석과 적도 해류 및 파동 역학에 관한 이해 부족과 연관된다고 유추할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : This study focuses on advance traffic information to prevent secondary traffic accidents on express highways. The purpose of this study is to analysis the optimal scenario by evaluating the effect of each advance traffic information scenarios using virtual driving simulation. METHODS : By designing traffic information scenarios and services with a combination of VMS and mobile PUSH notifications, driver behavior in the event of a traffic accident was analyzed. For this, a simulation environment was designed through engineering analysis. Through virtual driving simulation, the driver's deceleration point and the perception-reaction time are analyzed. RESULTS : Four scenarios were designed and reviewed so that VMS and mobile PUSH notification can be provided simultaneously after the driver drove for 5 km. As a result of driving with 30 drivers, the drivers reacted fastest when VMS was installed, followed by mobile PUSH notification, VMS+mobile PUSH notification, and NOTHING. CONCLUSIONS : When designing traffic information service, it was observed that providing information through VMS alone is more efficient than providing two services of traffic information. Therefore, it can be used as basic data for preventing secondary accidents on express highway.

연소실 내 공조현상으로 인해 발생되는 열음향 불안정성은 안정적인 연소시스템을 구현하기 위해 해결해야 하는 고질적인 문제로 제기되어 왔다. 열음향 불안정성은 크게 1차 2차 열음향 불안정성으로 나뉘며, 본 연구에서는 열음향 불안정성 중 2차 열음향 불안 정성의 천이에 관해 열손실이 미치는 영향에 대한 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 2차 열음향 불안정성을 발생시키기 위해 한쪽 끝이 열린 1/4 파장 공명기를 채택하여 수직으로 설치하였고, 공명기 내부에는 예혼합 가스를 주입하였다. 또한 공명기 상단으로 발생하는 열손실 효과를 비교하기 위해 추가적으로 외부 동축류 관을 설치하였다. 연료 농후조건의 예혼합 가스만을 채택하여 주입하였기 때문에 동축관 에 주입되는 기체에 따라 공명기 상부에 추가적인 확산화염이 형성될 수 있다. 그 결과 확산화염이 발생되었을 경우 공명기 상단으로의 열손실이 감소하며 2차 열음향 불안정성이 발현되었으며, 확산화염이 억제되어 공명기 상단으로의 열손실이 증가하였을 경우 2차 열음향 불안정성의 발현이 억제되는 결과를 도출하였다.

Literature has been repeatedly recognized as an effective source of authentic materials in EFL classrooms. Literature exposes learners to coherent and expert writing which can enable them to write better and facilitates students’ creative writing skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching procedures of using short fiction in a Korean high school EFL course in which English writing and reading skills are integrated and to provide pedagogical suggestions for using authentic literature in EFL classrooms. First, this paper introduces a theoretical discussion of the advantages of using short fiction in an English writing instruction, and discusses reasons for selecting the Korean short novel Dongbackkot and the English short story “Araby” as resources for writing. After that pedagogical steps with practical classroom activities are described. We hope that the pedagogical suggestions provided here may inspire English teachers to design their teaching materials using appropriate literary texts to improve their students’ English essay writing and balanced communication skills.

Seismic responses due to the dynamic coupling between a primary structure and secondary system connected to a structure are analyzed in this study. The seismic responses are compared based on dynamic coupling criteria and according to the error level in the natural frequency, with the recent criteria being reliant on the error level in the spectral displacement response. The acceleration responses and relative displacement responses of a primary structure and a secondary system for a coupled model and two different decoupled models of two degrees-of-freedom system are calculated by means of the time integration method. Errors in seismic responses of the uncoupled models are reduced with the recent criteria. As the natural frequency of the secondary system increases, error in the natural frequency decreases, but seismic responses of uncoupled models can be underestimated compared to that of coupled model. Results in this paper can help determine dynamic coupling and predict uncoupled models’ response conservatism.
