Background: Trunk flexor-extensor muscles’ co-activation and upright posture are important for spinal stability. Abdominal bracing and maximal expiration are being used as exercises to excel torso co-contraction. However, no study has on comparison of the effect of this exercise on multifidus in the upright sitting posture. Objectives: This study aims to verify the effectiveness of abdominal bracing and expiration maneuvers in lumbo-pelvic upright sitting. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Eighteen healthy women were recruited for this study. The multifidus muscle thickness of all subjects was measured in three sitting conditions (lumbo-pelvic upright sitting, lumbo-pelvic upright sitting with abdominal bracing, and lumbo-pelvic upright sitting with maximum expiration) using ultrasound. One-way repeated measure analysis of variance was used for the evaluation. Results: Compared to lumbo-pelvic upright sitting, lumbo-pelvic upright sitting with abdominal bracing and lumbo-pelvic upright sitting with maximum expiration were associated with significantly increment of muscle thickness. There was no significant difference in muscle thickness between lumbo-pelvic upright sitting with abdominal bracing and lumbo-pelvic upright sitting with maximum expiration. Conclusion: Abdominal bracing and maximum expiration could be beneficial to increasing lumbar multifidus thickness in lumbo-pelvic upright sitting.

목 적：평균 수명 연장으로 고령화에 따른 노인층 증가에 따라 노인 의료건수가 더욱 증가하고 있다. 노인층 MRCP 검사 또한 증가하는 추세이며, 호흡이 중요한 MRCP 검사 시 노인 환자들의 호흡은 의학적 정보 를 얻는 중요한 요소가 된다. 보통 MRCP 검사 시 일반 환자들에서는 호기(expiration) 후 호흡 정지 영상을 얻어 검사를 시행하고 있다. 호흡이 불안정한 노인 환자들 중 호기와 흡기(inhalation) 후 호흡 정지 검사 시 영상의 진단적 가치의 차이점이 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법：2017년 10월부터 2017년 12월까지 MRCP 검사 시 호흡이 불안정한 환자를 선별해 환자(남성 11명 평균연령-68.4세, 여성 7명 평균연령-68.9세)을 대상으로 하였다. 실험 장비는 Siemence verio 3.0T 와 6 channel 복부 Coil을 사용하였다. 검사 전 환자들에게 호흡에 대한 충분한 설명 후 검사를 시행하였으며 sequence는 T2 Haste axial, coronal를 시행하였고, 각 시퀀스 검사 시 매개변수는 동일하게 하였다. 실험A(호기,expiration후)와 실 험B(흡기,inhalation후) 호흡 정지 영상을 얻은 후 복부 임사 판독의 2명, 방사선사 3명이 정성적 평가를 하였다. 그리고 실험A로 호흡 정지검사가 힘든 환자는 실험B로 검사를 시행하였다. 정성적 평가로 영상 의 선예도, 연속성, 전체 영상의 질에 대하여 각 5단계(1=매우 나쁨,2=나쁨,3=보통,4=좋음,5=매우 좋 음)로 평가하였다. 결 과：영상의 선예도, 연속성, 영상의 질에 대한 평가자 5명의 정성적 평가는 실험A에서 T2 axial에서는 각각 평균 3.8, 4.12, 3.96 ,4.14 ,4. T2 coronal에서는 각각 평균 3.84, 3.96, 4.12, 4.16, 4.12였고, 실험 B에서 T2 axial에서는 각각 평균 4.22, 4.24, 4.2, 4.26, 4.4 T2 coronal에서는 각각 평균 4.26, 4.22, 4.24, 4.28, 4.36의 결과를 보였다. 대상자 18명중 8명은 호기 후 호흡 정지가 어려워 검사가 안됐으며, 그 중 4명은 흡기 후 검사에서는 호흡 정지가 가능해 검사를 마칠 수 있었다. 결 론：MRCP 복부 검사 시 호기 후 보다 흡기 후 검사에서 영상의 질의 평가에서 더 우수하게 나타났고, 호기 후 호흡 정지가 안 되는 환자는 흡기 후 호흡 정지가 좀 더 수월하게 나타났다. 일반적으로 MRCP 검사는 호기 후 검사의 완성도가 높으나 호기 후 14-15초의 호흡 정지가 어려운 노인 환자들에 대해서는 흡기 후 검사를 시행하는 경우도 영상의 진단적 가치가 있어 호기 후 호흡 불안정에 따른 영상의 불완성도 또는 검사의 실패를 대처 할 수 있다고 사료된다.

식용곤충에서 최근에 식품공전에 등록된 갈색거저리 유충, 쌍별귀뚜라미 유충에 대해 일선 농가들이 식용곤충의 안정적 공급 및 유통을 위해 수확 후 건조 포장시 보관 유통기한을 설정할 필요가 있다. 건조된 갈색거저리, 쌍별귀뚜라 미 성상(분말, 건조물)을 용량 100g씩 PE, PET, 내습 포장지 등 포장재질에 진공, 밀봉포장을 한 후 저장온도를 45℃ 설정하여 2월 12일부터 3월 11일까지 1개월동안 가속실험을 실시하였다. 1개월후 시료 검체하여 품질 지표를 분석 조사한 결과, 밀봉포장에서 갈색거저리 건조물은 수분, 일반세균, 관능검사 등에서 PET+제습제, PE+제습제가 분말은 PE, PE+제습제 순으로 조사되었고 쌍별귀뚜라미 건조물은 PET+제습제, 내습포장제가 분말은 내습포장제만 기준치 이내로 조사되었다. 진공 포장에서 갈색거저리 건조물은 PE+제습제, 내습포장제가 분말은 PE, 내습포장제로 나타났으며 쌍별귀뚜라미 건조물은 PE+제습제, PET+제습제가 분말은 PET+제습제, 내습포장제 순으로 조사되었다. 특히, 쌍별귀뚜라미 분말은 밀봉, 진공포장 모두에서 일반세균 기준치(1,000cfu/g)가 이상을 보여 본 실험 포장재질로 는 유통이 어려운 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 시중에 유통 중인 식육제품 중에서 유통기한이 임박한 다양한 육가공제품을 구입하여 미생 물 및 위생적 품질을 비교 분석하였다. 총 20점(햄6점, 베이컨 3점, 소시지 11점) 시료에 대해 pH, 수 분활성도(Aw), 지방산패도(TBARS), 단백질변패도(VBN), 총세균수(total aerobic counts), meat color 등의 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 pH는 최저 5.33에서 최대 6.59 범위를 나타내었고, Aw의 경우 0.90~0.93 범위를 보였다. TBARS는 0.11~0.59, VBN의 경우 2.37~14.75 수치를 나타내었다. 총세균 수는 최대 2.80CFU/g 이하로 검출되어 매우 낮은 수준을 보였다. 육색의 측정 결과, 명도(L*)는 56-72, 적색도(a*)는 5.2-34, 황색도(b*)는 0.7-16범위를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과 제조공정과 첨가 물 차이에 따른 식육제품의 품질 특성에 차이들은 있었지만, 유통기한 내에 있는 제품의 품질 저하는 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 시중에 유통 중인 육가공제품의 위생적, 미생물학적 안전성 평가의 결과로부 터 유통기한이 매우 잘 적용되고 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

To solve the serious problem of insufficient manpower in medium and small scaled companies, our country allows introduction of foreign manpower for 5 business types such as manufacture industry, service industry, etc. and there are 226,825 people who entered by employment license system(E-9) in Sep. 2013. However, according to the results of investigation 「actual status and difficulties of foreign manpower's employment of medium and small scaled manufacturing companies」of KFTA in 2013, 36.4% of respondents responded that current scale of introducing foreign manpower is insufficient to solve difficulties of insufficient manpower in industrial world and 37.7% of them responded that the quarter of new employment is insufficient. So, they hope that current quarter system of foreign manpower can be abolished. Meanwhile, introduction scale of foreign manpower was decided by 53,000 people so as to solve enterprise difficulties in manpower and vitalize economics this year, but illegal aliens are 39,623, more than 17.5%, in Sep. 2013 after employment expiration. Therefore, it becomes serious social problem. Government displays various support businesses so that foreign workers after employment expiration can return to their homeland legally. This thesis intends to find measures to maintain royalty for our country and support their smooth resettlement through the analysis on homecoming support business of foreign workers.

Cross knee curl-up is an ideal variation of abdominal curl up exercise to strengthen abdominal musculature without excessive lumbar flexion which can increase the loads on the disc and ligaments. In addition, slowly forced expiration can facilitate the activation of the abdominal musculature. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of slowly forced expiration on activity of abdominal muscles, such as rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), and transverse abdominis/internal oblique (TrA/IO), while cross knee curl-up. Eleven young and healthy subjects (6 males and 5 females) participated. All subjects performed the cross knee curl-up slowly forced expiration and natural breathing. Paired t-test was performed in normalized electromyogram (EMG) muscle activity of the bilateral RA, EO, and TrA/IO to compare the differences between the cross curl-up with slowly forced expiration and natural breathing. Statistical significance was set at .05. There were no significant differences in normalized EMG muscle activity of the bilateral RA, EO, and TrA/IO between the cross curl-up with slowly forced expiration and natural breathing. The finding of this study designates that slowly forced expiration does not induce increasing activity of abdominal muscle in cross knee curl-up; hence, learning step of breathing control might not be necessary to strengthen abdominal muscle in cross knee curl-up.

This study investigated consumers’ recognition on shelf life of health functional foods to set up their rational expiration date. For this study 107 male and female adults aged 20 to 59 years were randomly selected as major consumers of health functional foods. And their data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0. The questionnaire included questions asking a consumer's recognition on the shelf life of health functional foods and how to treat health function food passing its shelf life. In this study, the consumers were found to pay attentions considerably to the shelf life. But most of them did not know an accurate meaning of the shelf life of health functional food and mistook it for expiry date. In addition, the consumers doubted safety of health functional foods passing the shelf life. Therefore, education for consumers about an accurate meaning of the shelf life was needed. The results of this study were considered to be helpful to set up a reasonable expiration date for health functional food.

Nifty Bank Index has started trading in futures and options (F&O) segment from 13th June 2005 in National Stock Exchange. The purpose of the study is to enhance the literature by examining expiration effect on the price volatility and price reversal of Underlying Index in India. Historical data used for the current study primarily comprise of daily close prices of Nifty Bank which is the only equity sectoral index in India which is traded in derivatives market and its Future contract value is derived from the underlying CNX Bank Index during the period 1st January 2010 till 31st March 2020. To check stationarity of the data, Augmented Dicky Fuller test was used. The study employed ARMA- EGARCH model for analysing the data. The empirical results revealed that there is no effect on the mean returns of underlying Index and EGARCH (1,1) model furthermore shows there is existence of leverage effect in the Bank Index i.e., negative shocks causes more fluctuations in the Index than positive news of similar magnitude. The outcome of the study specifies that there is no effect on volatility on the underlying sectoral index due to expiration days and also observed no price reversal effect once the expiration days are over.
