There is a Buddhist gong that is hanging in Dongnakwon of Guryongsa temple located in Wongju city, Gangwon-do. This Buddhist gong belongs to the second type of late Joseon period due to have two ridgelines on the front and the sides. In addition this Buddhist gong has six sankrit character ‘ (oṃ)’. The oldest Buddhist gong with Sanskrit characters which was made during late Joseon period is the Buddhist gong made in 1666 with inscription ‘the Kangxi 5th Year of Jangcheonsa temple, in which the five Sanskrit characters of “oṃ ma ṇi pad me” were arranged in the form of a pentagon. But coming to the state the Buddhist gong made in 1770 with inscription ’Qianlong 35 year of Neunggasa temple, four Sanskrit characters of oṃ was changed into a rhombus form. In the Buddhist gong made in 1837 with inscription ’Daogwang 17 year, six Sanskrit character of oṃ was changed into a hexagonal form. The oldest Buddhist gong with six Sanskrit characters was made in 1837 with inscription ‘Dogwang 17th Year’, however, this Buddhist gong was lost. The manufacturing time of the Buddhist gong with the six Sanskrit characters can be set as the lower limit based on the Buddhist gong with inscription Daogwang 17th Year. However, the type of the Buddhist gong of Guryongsa temple belongs to the second type Buddhist gong of the late Joseon Dynasty, and the seconf type Buddhist gongs were mainly produced in the 18th century. Referring to the Buddhist gong of Sokcho Sinheungsa temple made in 1788, although that of Guryongsa temple had no inscriptions that could know the manufacturing time, it appears that the Buddhist gong with six Sanskrit characters prior to the Buddhist gong with inscription Daogwang 17th Year made by Kim Jong-deuk in 1837 was produced in the late 18th century.

외래생물은 애완용 등의 목적으로 유입되고 있으며 파충류는 특이하거나 희귀한 생김새로 인해 거래량이 지속적으로 늘어나 고 있다. 수입량이 증가함에 따라 야생에서 발견되는 외래거북의 수도 증가하고 있으며 최근에 발견된 외래생물은 대부분 도심지 근처에서 발견되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 서울 도심에 위치한 중랑천에 서식하는 외래거북 현황을 보고하고자 한다. 조사 결과 동부비단거북(Chrysemys picta picta), 리버쿠터(Pseudemys concinna), 플로리다붉은배거북(P. nelsoni), 붉은귀 거북(Trachemys scripta elegans), 노란배거북(T. s. scripta), 쿰버랜드거북(T. s. troostii), 중국줄무늬목거북(Mauremys sinensis) 등 총 7종의 외래거북을 확인하였으며 국내종은 자라(Pelodiscus maackii) 1종이 확인되었다. 이 중 6종은 국내에서 생태계교란종으로 지정되어 있다. 가장 많이 발견된 종은 리버쿠터(P. concinna)로 나타났으며 현재 파충류 펫샵에서 거래중 인 동부비단거북(C. p. picta)도 발견되었다. 이를 통해 도심하천의 외래거북 현황을 확인할 수 있었으며, 지속적으로 야생에 유입되고 있음을 보여주는 결과라 판단된다.

PURPOSES : For most local governments, including that of Gangwon-do, the establishment of an organized pavement management system is insufficient, resulting in problems such as inefficient distribution and use of maintenance budgets for deteriorated road pavements. In this study, we aimed to contribute to the establishment of a more reasonable road maintenance strategy by developing a model for predicting the annual international roughness index (IRI) change for national highway asphalt pavements in Gangwon-do based on big data analysis. METHODS : Data on independent and dependent variables used for model development were collected. The collected data were subjected to exploratory data analysis (EDA) and data preprocessing. Independent variable candidates were selected to reduce multicollinearity through correlation analysis and specific conditions. A final model was selected, and sensitivity analysis was performed. RESULTS : The final model that predicts annual IRI change uses independent variables such as annual temperature range, minimum temperature, freeze-thaw days, IRI, surface distress (SD), and freezing days. The sensitivity analysis confirmed that the annual IRI change was affected in the order of annual temperature range, minimum temperature, freeze-thaw days, IRI, SD, and freezing days. CONCLUSIONS : Road maintenance can be performed rationally by predicting future pavement conditions using the model developed in this study. The accuracy of the prediction model can be improved if additional data, such as material properties and pavement thickness, are obtained in future studies.

With the increase of temporarily-stored spent radioactive fuels, there is an increasing necessity for the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Among various methods for the disposal of HLW, a deep geological disposal system is adapted as a HLW disposal strategy in many countries. Before the construction of a repository in deep geological condition, a performance assessment, which means the use of numerical models to simulate the long-term behavior of a multi-barrier system in HLW repository, has been widely performed to ensure the isolation of radionuclides from human and related environments for more than a million years. Meanwhile, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is developing a process-based total system performance assessment framework for a geological disposal system (APro). To improve the reliability of APro, KAERI is participating in DECOVALEX-2023 Task F, which is the international joint program for the comparison of the models and methods used in deep geological performance assessment. As a final goal of Task F, the reference case for a generic repository in fractured crystalline rock is described. The three-dimensional generic repository is located in a domain of 5 km in length, 2 km in width, and 1 km in depth, and contains an engineering barrier system with 2,500 deposition holes in fractured crystalline rock. In this study, a numerical simulation of the reference case is performed with COMSOL Multiphysics as a part of Task F. The fractured crystalline rock is described with the discrete fracture matrix (DFM) model, which expresses major deterministic fractures explicitly in the domain and minor stochastic fractures implicitly with upscaled quantities. As an output of the numerical simulation, fluid flow at steady-state and radionuclide transport are evaluated for ~106 years. The result shows that fractures dominate the transport of radionuclides due to much higher hydraulic properties than rock matrix. The numerical modeling approaches used in this study are expected to provide a basis for performance assessment of nuclear waste disposal repository located in fractured crystalline rock.

Phytoplankton diversity in Cho Pyeong-ji, Song Ak-ji, Cheong Cheon-ji, Ye Dang-ji, and Ganwol Lake were 1.10~2.60, 0.56~2.03, 0.21~2.03, 0.65~2.57, and 0.44~1.12, respectively. Phytoplankton species richness in Cho Pyeong-ji, Song Ak-ji, Cheong Cheon-ji, Ye Dang-ji, and Ganwol Lake were 1.91~4.99, 1.82~3.26, 1.26~4.17, 2.07~5.37, and 1.90~2.43, respectively. Phytoplankton evenness indices in Cho Pyeong-ji, Song Ak-ji, Cheong Cheon-ji, Ye Dang-ji, and Ganwol Lake were 0.38~0.78, 0.18~0.69, 0.08~0.71, 0.22~0.72, and 0.14~0.38, respectively. Phytoplankton dominance indices in Cho Pyeong-ji, Song Ak-ji, Cheong Cheon-ji, Ye Dang-ji, and Ganwol Lake were 0.40~0.83, 0.55~0.96, 0.44~0.99, 0.42~0.93, and 0.89~0.97, respectively.

유사한 시기에 조사된 다른 위도의 저서성대형무척추동물 군집 구조의 시공간적 차이를 비교한 결과, 평창 조사지역에서는 3문 5강 12목 44과 69분류군 13,042개체, 완도 조사지역에서는 4문 5강 12목 37과 52분류군 8,887개체가 채집되었다. 평창이 완도보다 다양도와 균등도 또한 높게 나타났다. 우점종은 평창에서는 두점하루살이로 나타났고, 완도에서는 길쭉하루살이로 서로 달랐다. 집괴 분석 결과 평창과 완도 조사지역의 군집 특성이 명확하게 나누어졌으며 지역 내에서는 대체로 계절성의 영향이 컸다. 지표종 분석에서는 총 4종의 지표종이 선정되었으며 대체로 해당 조사시기 및 지점에만 나타난 종이 선정되었다. 기능적 군집으로는 주워 먹는 무리인 깔따구류를 제외하였을 때 평창 조사지점에서는 긁어먹는 무리가 가장 많았다. 완도 조사지점에서는 주워 먹는 무리가 가장 많았으며 평창 조사지역에 비해 걸러먹는 무리의 비율이 더 높았다. 군집 온도지수 산출 결과 평창이 9.8℃, 완도가 11.0℃으로 평창의 군집이 더 낮은 온도를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 서식지 온도 특성이 저서성대 형무척추동물 군집 구성에 크게 영향을 미치고 있음을 반영해 주었다.

본 연구는 교란 정도가 다른 정수역 연못에서 수서곤충 분포 특성을 이해하고자, 2018년 3월부터 2020년 6월까지 제주도 궁대오름 일대 3곳의 인공연못(연못 1, 2, 3)과 2곳의 자연연못(연못 4, 5)에서 조사를 진행하였다. 총 3목 15과 50종의 곤충이 확인되었으며, 잠자리목 4과 14종, 850 개체, 노린재목 6과 14종, 4,391 개체, 딱정벌레목 4과 22종, 2,014 개체가 확인되었다. 수서곤충의 개체수와 종의 수는 상대적으로 기존 동식물 생태계가 안정적으로 잘 조성된 자연연못에서 인공연못보다 높게 나타났다. 인공연못의 경우도 수초 등을 도입하여 재조성한 경우 개체 수와 종수가 회복되는 현상을 보였다(연못 1). 잠자리목 유충은 포식자인 대형 어류가 존재하지 않고 성충의 진입이 차단되지 않는 연못에서는 다수 발견되었다. 노린재목의 경우 식식성인 물벌레과의 곤충들이 전체적으로 많이 발견되었으며, 딱정벌레목은 식물생태계 분포에 따라 물진드기과의 개체수에 영향을 받았다. 이렇게 수서곤충상 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 지형과 수생식물을 통한 은신처와 포식자의 존재가 가장 큰 것으로 파악되었으며, 잠자리목에서 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 결과는 향후 습지를 복원 및 인공 습지를 조성하거나 종 다양성 보전을 위한 기초 자료로 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Pseudolymphoma or benign lymphoid hyperplasia is an uncommon benign lymphoproliferative lesion that occurs very ralely in the oral mucosa, most commonly in the hard palate. It is important to differentiate between malignant lymphoma and pseudolymphoma with similar clinical and morphological symptoms. Clinically, pseudolymphoma is a firm, painless, nonulcerated, nonfluctuant, slowly growing mass or swelling on the one side of the palate. However, lymphoma at hard palate is unilateral, and some are hard, painful, or show evidence of bone destruction. The treatment of pseudolymphoma is local excision.

본 연구는 4대강 사업에 따른 낙동강 수질의 변동성을 평가하기 위한 것으로, 낙동강에 건설된 8개 보 건설 전후의 수질을 비교, 분석하였다. 이를 위해 보에서 가장 인접한 상류 수질측정지점을 대상으로 4대강 사업전(2003년 1월부터 2008년 11월), 사업중(2008년 9월부터 2012년 4월), 사업후(2012년 5월부터 2017년 9월)까지의 3개 기간에 대해 DO, BOD, COD, SS, T-N, T-P, TOC 등의 수질자료를 수집하였다. 4대강 사업전후 자료의 유의성 검증을 위해 대응검정 T-test를 95%의 신뢰구간에서 실시 한 결과 DO, BOD, COD, T-N, TOC는 사업 전보다 사업 후 수질 농도가 높아지는 경향이 있으며, 그 중 BOD, COD, TOC의 농도가 큰 차이를 보였다. 반면에 SS, T-P는 사업 전보다 사업 후 농도값이 감소하였다. 수질인자 중 변화값이 큰 BOD, COD, TOC를 수질등급으로 나누어 공간적으로 분석 해 본 결과 사업전에 비해 사업후의 수질등급이 나빠지는 경향을 보였다.

In this study, we measured the concentration of Particulate Matter (PM10), Formaldehyde (HCHO), and Total Bacteria Count (TBC) at three facilities: elderly care centers, day care centers, and postnatal care centers located in the cities of Seoul, Sejong, Daegu and Ulsan from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2015. PM10 concentration was the highest in the day care centers and HCHO concentration was the highest in the postnatal care centers. TBC concentration was the highest in the day care centers. Comparing the different cities, PM10 concentration was the highest in Sejong, HCHO concentration was the highest in Seoul, and TBC concentration was the highest in Daegu. This study is expected to be helpful in preventing damage to health from the contaminated indoor air at sensitive facilities, and can be used as basic data for indoor air quality management.

To obtain basic data on bioaerosols in the indoor environments of houses located adjacent to Gwangyang Iron Works, the concentration and diversity of indoor air molds were comparatively investigated in 33 houses in September of 2016 and 2017, respectively. In areas both adjacent to and nonadjacent to Gwangyang Iron Works, house temperature and humidity ranged from 24~28oC and 47~57%, respectively. Airborne mold concentration was higher in the houses located nonadjacent than in the ones adjacent to the iron works. Interestingly, the level of airborne mold concentration exceeded 500 CFU/m3 in all houses nonadjacent to the iron works. A total of 12 mold species including five pathogenic species were indentified from the investigation. Among the five pathogenic species, the causal agents of otomycosis, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, and A. niger were present. Overall, Cladosporium cladosporioides was the dominant species. This is the first report on the concentration and diversity of airborne mold in houses located adjacent and nonadjacent to Gwangyang bay industrial complex in Korea.

Osteoblastoma(OB) is a rare tumor of bone representing less than 1 % of all tumors of the maxillofacial region. The lesion usually appears in vertebral column, sacrum, long bones but rare in mandible or maxilla. The lesion occurs most commonly at age from 3 to 78 years with the mean age of 22-23 years. In this article, we report one case of OB occurred in mandible. With clinical examination and radiological diagnosis, preliminary diagnosis was made as Fibro-osseous lesion, osteomyelitis or cementoblastoma. Under general anesthesia, associated tooth was extracted and excisional biopsy was done. After microscopic examination, it was diagnosed as OB. The patients which we presented did not complain any specific complications, and showed good prognosis.

In Korea, the structure is mostly located on the upper part of the high embankment considering the geographical conditions at the time of expressway construction. Embankment was managed stepwise compaction according to height, but creep settlement of embankment itself may negatively affect superstructure. Reinforced earth retaining walls, which were recognized as flexible structures, were no exception to such geographical conditions. Especially, in the case of reinforced earth retaining wall located on abutment wing wall, damage due to differential settlement supported by pile, damage due to differential settlement and uneven settlement of reinforced earth retaining wall itself was frequently occurred. Therefore, in this study, the damage of reinforced earth retaining wall structure located on the high toe part was analyzed based on case. These data will be used as basic data for future maintenance.

Central odontogenic fibroma(COF) is an extremely rare benign tumor that accounts for 0.1% of all odontogenic tumor. COF is regarded by the World Health Organization(WHO) as a benign odontogenic neoplasm derived from mesenchymal odontogenic tissue. The lesion occurs most commonly in the mandible and patients ranging in age from11 to 80years with mean age of 34years. In this article, we report two case of COF. Case I was associated odontoma and impacted tooth. Odontoma and impacted tooth was removal under general anesthesia. After microscopic examination, finally we diagnosis this lesion as COF. Patients of case II showed radiolucent lesion at the mandible. Lesion was enucleated under general anesthesia. After microscopic examination, finally we diagnosis this lesion as COF. The patients which we presented did not complain any specific complications, showed good prognosis.

진주만 해역에서의 식물플랑크톤 시공간적 군집 분포와 이를 조절하는 환경요인을 파악하기 위해 물리, 화학적인 환경조사와 더불어 UPLC-CHEMTAX program을 이용한 식물플랑크톤 군집특성분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구해역에서의 Chlorophyll a 농도는 평균 1.84 μg L-1 (0.13~9.03 μg L-1)로 얕은 수심과 조석의 혼합이 활발한 본 연구해역에서 겨울철 식물플랑크톤 현존량이 높게 나타났다. 또한 본 연구해역에서 나타난 주요 식물플랑크톤 군집 중 규조류가 연구기간 동안 평균 77.1%로 대부분 우점하였으나, 하계 (6월, 7월, 8월) 은편모류 (7.7~18.8%), 담녹조류 (7.8~17.3%), 와편모류 (4.9~13.9%)의 분포비율을 나타내었다. 특히 은편모류와 담녹조류는 현미경으로 검경하기 어려운 군집이며, 동기간 보고된 현미경 관찰결과에도 나타나지 않아 향후 이들 군집에 대한 면밀한 조사가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구를 통해 UPLC 활용하여 진주만 어장 생태계의 기초 생산자이자 먹이원으로 작용하는 식물플랑크톤의 생물량 및 시공간적 변동특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러 현미경 검경으로 확인하기 어려운 은편모류와 담녹조류 군집이 하계에 상대적으로 높은 비율을 나타내는 것을 UPLC로 확인할 수 있었고, 이러한 결과는 향후 1차 생산에 관여하는 식물플랑크톤의 계절 변화의 기초정보로 유용하게 이용될 것이다.
