Background: Self-myofascial release using a foam roller has short-term effects for improving muscle function and joint range of motion (ROM) and reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise. Objectives: The purpose of our study was to examine the muscle physiological changes for each set in self-myofascial release of the hamstring muscles using a foam roller in order to provide basic data for the most effective program composition for improving muscle tension, stiffness, and flexibility of the hamstring muscles. Design: A quasi-experimental clinical trial. Methods: To confirm the effect of self-myofascial release of the hamstring muscles using a foam roller, muscle tone and stiffness of the hamstring muscles were measured. As an intervention method, the study subject performed four sessions of self-myofascial release by moving a foam roller back and forth on the posterior thigh muscle of the right leg. Results: There were statistically significant changes in the stiffness of the biceps femoris and the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. Conclusion: Self-myofascial release with foam rolling is an effective intervention method for increasing hamstring flexibility and ROM, and it is recommended as effective to perform self-myofascial release for three to four sessions to maintain normal muscle tone and stiffness of the hamstring muscles.

본 연구의 목적은 인지적 안녕감 수준에 따라 감정 경험에 차이를 보이는지 확인하고, 인지적 안녕감 수준을 강하 게 예측하는 대표적인 구체적 감정들이 무엇인지 확인함으로써 일상에서 사람들이 어떠한 감정을 관리하는 것이 전 체적인 삶의 만족도 증진에 효과적인지에 대한 실용적 방안을 모색하고자 함에 있다. 이를 위해 참가자간 요인설계 (between-subjects factorial design)를 채택하여 학부생 438명을 대상으로 인지적 안녕감 수준에 따른 감정 경험 빈도 를 측정하였다. 인지적 안녕감은 생활만족도 척도(SWLS)로 측정하였으며, 감정 빈도는 PANAS-X 척도로 측정하였고, 조사 후 인지적 안녕감의 평균값을 기준으로 집단을 나누어 감정 프로파일을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 첫째, 인지적 안녕감이 높은 집단은 낮은 집단에 비해 전반적으로 긍정감정, 놀람감정의 경험빈도가 높았고 부정감정 경험빈도가 낮았다. 둘째, 인지적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 대표적인 감정은 긍정 8개, 부정 7개, 놀람 1개임을 확인하였다. 특히 긍정은 ‘즐거운(happy)’, ‘자신감 있는(confident)’, 부정은 ‘나 자신에게 만족하지 못하는(dissatisfied with self)’, ‘나 자신이 역겨운(disgusted with self)’, 놀람은 ‘경탄을 자아내는(amazed)’ 감정이 인지적 안녕감에 가장 큰 영향력을 미쳤다. 본 결과를 통해 일상에서 경험하는 감정을 무조건 긍정-부정으로만 살펴볼 것이 아니라, 인지적 안녕감을 증진시키기 위해서는 특정한 감정들의 경험 빈도는 높이고(ex. 즐거움, 자신감), 특정한 감정의 경험 빈도는 줄이는 것(ex. 자신에 대한 불만족, 역겨움)이 더 효과적일 수 있음을 시사한다.

In this research, we examined the shifts in determinants influencing the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases pre- and post-COVID-19. Our analysis utilized filtered 2019-2021 Consumption Behavior Survey data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute Food, excluding any irrational responses. Given the nature of the dependent variable, a multinomial logistic regression model was employed with demographic factors, variables pertaining to food consumption behavior, and variables concerning food consumption awareness as predictors. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an individual's level of education was observed to positively influence the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases. In contrast, income level and fluctuations in food consumption expenditure did not appear to have a discernible impact on the purchasing frequency of such eco-friendly products. Irrespective of the advent of COVID-19, variables such as the frequency of online food purchases, the utilization of early morning delivery services, dining out frequency, and the intake of health-functional foods consistently demonstrated a positive correlation with the propensity to purchase eco-friendly foods. Overall, consumers prioritizing safety, quality, and nutrition over price, taste, and convenience in their procurement decisions for rice, vegetables, meat, and processed foods exhibit an increased inclination toward the acquisition of eco-friendly food products.

This study applied the text frequency method to analyze the crops prevalent during the Chosunwangjoshilrok dynasty, and categorized the results by each king. Contemporary perception of grains was observed by examining the staple crop types. Staple species were examined using the word cloud and semantic network analysis. Totally, 101,842 types of crop consumption were recorded during the Chosunwangjoshilrok period. Of these, 51,337 (50.4%) were grains, 50,407 (49.5%) were beans, and 98 (0.1%) were seeds. Rice was the most frequently consumed grain (37.1%), followed by pii (11.9%), millet (11.3%), barley (4.5%), proso (0.8%), wheat (0.6%), buckwheat (0.1%), and adlay (0.05%). Grain chronological frequency in the Choseon dynasty was determined to be 15,520 cases in the 15th century (30.2%), 11,201 cases in the 18th century (21.8%), 9,421 cases in the 17th century (18.4%), 9,113 cases in the 16th century (17.8%), and 6,082 cases in the 19th century (11.8%). Interest in grain amongst the 27 kings of Choseon was evaluated based on the frequency of records. The 15th century King Sejong recorded the maximum interest with 13,363 cases (13.1%), followed by King Jungjo (8,501 cases in the 18th century; 8.4%), King Sungjong (7,776 cases in the 15th century; 7.6%).

본 연구에서는 우리나라에 태풍이 내습할 때 먼저 피해를 받는 남해안 지역을 대표하는 Quantile을 제안하고, 각 지점들의 재 현기간에 따른 극치 풍속을 추정하기 위하여 연 최대풍속 자료와 Hosking이 제안한 선형-모멘트 방법(L-moments)을 이용한 지역빈도 해석을 수행하였다. 모든 기상관측 지점에서는 비정상적인 값이 존재하지 않았고 이질성 검정을 통해서 하나의 동질 한 지역을 나타 낼 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 적합도 과정을 통해서 Generalized Normal (GNO) 및 Generalized Extreme Value(GEV) 분포를 남해안 지역을 대표하는 빈도분포로 선택하였다. 상대 오차(RB)와 상대 평균제곱근 오차(RRMSE)를 이용하여 두 분포의 안정성을 평가한 결 과, GNO 분포가 GEV 분포보다 더 안정한 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 남해안 지역을 대표하는 Quantile과 각 지점들의 평균, 중앙 값, 그리고 위치 매개변수를 이용하여 지점들의 극치 풍속을 추정하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 지역빈도해석이 자료가 부족하거나 계측 되지 않은 지점들에 대한 극치 풍속을 추정하기 위한 방법으로서 도입이 필요하다고 생각된다.

This paper takes six Chinese Textbooks in the late Korean Dynasty compiled by Wang Weihui and others as the research object, selects and counts the high-frequency words, and analyzes their characteristics from the aspects of syllable number, part of speech, use in modern Chinese, meaning content, dialect background and so on. It is found that only monosyllabic words and disyllabic words appear in the high-frequency words in the late Korean Chinese textbooks, and the parts of speech are mainly verbs and nouns. Modern Chinese uses some words of high-frequency words, and some high-frequency words are no longer used. In terms of meaning and content, high-frequency words are highly related to commercial and trade activities. At the same time, there are some spoken words and a large number of northeast dialect words.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the influence of the determinants for home meal replacement (HMR) purchase frequency before and after COVID-19. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to the 2018~2020 Consumer Behavior Survey for Food data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI). Gender, age, number of households, monthly income, use of eating out, delivery and takeout order service, HMR food safety concern, the frequency of cooking at home, grocery shopping, and eating alone were applied as the explanatory variables to explain HMR purchase frequency. The results are as below. Compared to the previous year, the growth rate of HMR purchase frequency in 2020 was relatively high, indicating that the COVID-19 outbreak acted as a catalyst. Unlike in 2018 and 2019, there was no statistical difference in the HMR purchase frequency between single- and multi-person households in 2020, with indicating multi-person households began to emerge as one of the major HMR consumption groups. Unlike 2018, the 2020 HMR purchase frequency showed a statistically positive relationship with those of grocery shopping and eating alone. There was a positive relationship between the frequency of eating out/food delivery orders and HMR purchases. The more often cooking at home occurred, the less HMR food was purchased.

Nuclear power plants in Korea were designed and evaluated based on the NRC's Regulatory Guide 1.60, a design response spectrum for nuclear power plants. However, it can be seen that the seismic motion characteristics are different when analyzing the Gyeongju earthquake and the Pohang earthquake that has recently occurred in Korea. Compared to the design response spectrum, seismic motion characteristics in Korea have a larger spectral acceleration in the high-frequency region. Therefore, in the case of equipment with a high natural frequency installed in a nuclear power plant, seismic performance may be reduced by reflecting the characteristics of domestic seismic motions. The failure modes of the equipment are typically structural failure and functional failure, with an anchorage failure being a representative type of structural failure. In this study, comparative analyses were performed to decide whether to consider the inelastic behavior of the anchorage or not. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic performance of the anchorages could be increased by considering the inelastic behavior of an anchorage.

Seismic qualification of instruments and devices mounted on electrical cabinets in a nuclear power plant is performed in this study by means of the in-cabinet response spectrum (ICRS). A simple method and two rigorous methods are proposed in the EPRI NP-7146-SL guidelines for generating the ICRS. The simple method of EPRI can give unrealistic spectra that are excessively conservative in many cases. In the past, the time domain analysis (TDA) methods have been mostly used to analyze a structure. However, the TDA requires the generation of an artificial earthquake input motion compatible to the target response spectrum. The process of generating an artificial earthquake may involve a great deal of uncertainty. In addition, many time history analyses should be performed to increase the accuracy of the results. This study developed a numerical analysis program for generating the ICRS by frequency domain analysis (FDA) method. The developed program was validated by the numerical study. The ICRS calculated by FDA thoroughly matched with those obtained from TDA. This study then confirms that the method it proposes can simply and efficiently generate the ICRS compared to the time domain method.

대규모 유한요소 모델을 빠르게 해석하기는 위해서 병렬 희소 솔버를 필수적으로 적용해야 한다. 이논문에서는 미세하게 변화하는 시스템 행렬을 대상으로 연속적으로 해를 구해야 하는 문제에서 효율적으로 적용가능한 반복-직접 희소 솔버 조합 기법을 소개한다. 반복-직접 희소 솔버 조합 기법은 병렬 희소 솔버 패키지인 PARDISO에 제안 및 구현된 기법으로 새롭게 행렬값이 갱신된 선형 시스템의 해를 구할 때 이전 선형 시스템에 적용된 직접 희소 솔버의 행렬 분해(factorization) 결과를 Krylov 반복 희소 솔버의 preconditioner로 활용하는 방법을 의미한다. PARDISO에서는 미리 설정된 반복 회수까지 해가 수렴하지 않으면 직접 희소 솔버로 해를 구하며, 이후 이어지는 갱신된 선형 시스템의 해를 구할 때는 최종적으로 사용 된 직법 희소 솔버의 행렬 분해 결과를 preconditioner로 사용한다. 이 연구에서는 첫 번째 Krylov 반복 단계에서 소요되는 시간을 동적으로 계산하여 최대 반복 회수를 설정하는 기법을 제안하였으며, 주파수 영역 해석에 적용하여 그 효과를 검증 하였다.
