다결정성 ZIF-8 분리막의 C3H6/C3H8 kinetic 분리 성능 향상을 목적으로 상대적으로 부피가 큰 2, 4-dimethylimidazole (dmIm)이 ZIF-8 구조 내 2-methylimidazole들을 일부 대체한 혼합 리간드 ZIF-8 유사체 분리막을 이차성장법을 이용 하여 제조하였다. 25°C, 1 bar의 feed 압력에서 C3H6/C3H8 (50/50, V/V) 혼합가스를 대상으로 측정된 분리막의 선택도는 ~180이었으며, 이는 기 보고된 대부분의 다결정성 ZIF-8 분리막들의 선택도보다 높았다. 선택도 향상의 원인인 ZIF-8 구조 내 dmIm 도입으로 인한 기공 입구 크기의 축소를 77 K에서의 질소 등온흡착실험과 Maxwell-Stefan model을 이용하여 C3H6 와 C3H8 막투과도 데이터로부터 계산된 확산계수들을 통해 증명하였다.

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.

This study examines the beliefs and practices regarding performance assessment among Korean English teachers in secondary schools. A survey was conducted with 109 teachers using a 52-item online questionnaire to investigate the extent to which teachers’ beliefs align with their instructional practices and to categorize them based on these criteria. Although teachers acknowledge the pedagogical advantages of performance assessment, a significant gap exists between their beliefs and actual implementation, primarily due to the considerable time required for its execution. Teachers with longer tenure and higher qualifications demonstrated a more positive and effective application of performance assessment. The findings highlight the necessity for targeted professional development to enhance teachers’ use of performance assessment strategies, especially for those who are skeptical about their effectiveness. Such initiatives are essential for bridging the gap between beliefs and practices, fostering an environment that promotes the effective use of performance assessment, and ultimately improving teaching quality and student learning outcomes in Korean English education.

직장 내 괴롭힘은 노동현장에서의 인격권 침해행위로서 피해자 개인의 신체적 정신적 건강을 침해하는 행위이자 조직 전체에 악영향을 끼치는 행위이다. 이에 따라 직장 내 괴롭힘의 예방과 대응에 관한 제도가 근로기준법에 도입된 2019년에 도입되었고, 이후 5년 동안 이 제도는 현장의 근로자들에게 많이 활용되고 있다. 그런데 산업 현장에서는 직장 내 괴롭힘 사건의 조사과정 및 결정 이후 피해근로자 등에 대하여 2차 피해가 종종 발생하고 있는데, 근로기준법상 규정은 모든 유형의 2차 피해에 대하여 규율하고 있지 않아 피해자 보호에 미흡한 점이 있다. 직장 내 괴롭힘의 2차 피해는 우선 사용자와 조사 자가 조사과정에서의 객관성과 공정성의 유지와 비밀유지의무의 엄수함으로써 방지될 수 있다. 또한 직장 내 괴롭힘 예방 및 대응 매뉴얼을 작성할 때에는 2차 피해 방지 제도를 도입하고, 피해자와 동료직원들에게도 확정된 사례를 공유하여야 하며, 직장 내 괴롭힘이 조직문화의 문제임을 인지하고 전반적인 개선을 해나가야 할 필요가 있다.

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.

The waste secondary battery contains a significant amount of valuable metals, making its recycling highly desirable. However, conventional chemical methods for recycling are environmentally unfriendly and cost-ineffective. Rather than the chemical method, this paper deals with a mechanical method for recovering electrode materials from waste secondary batteries by blowing pressurized air onto the interface area between the electrode and the separator. Especially, in this study, the effective blowing angle were searched by simulating the separation of the electrode material from the separator through 1-way fluid structure interaction analysis based on the Cohesive Zone Modeling technique.

This study investigated quality characteristics and functionality of rose sparkling wine that were manufactured by secondary fermentation after inoculation of yeast strains. The pH of the samples ranged from 3.96 to 4.05 and total acidity ranged from 0.23 to 0.32%. The alcohol contents of wines ranged from 6.4 to 6.6% and the CO2 pressure ranged from 2.0 to 2.6 bar. The brightness of rose wines ranged from 84.72 to 87.36, the redness from 9.28 to 14.15, and the yellowness from 9.50 to 19.20. The hue value of wines ranged from 1.137 to 1.513 and color intensity ranged from 0.724 to 0.882. Aroma analysis identified 14 alcohols, 22 esters, 4 ketones, 4 acids, and 17 miscellaneous compounds. The total tannin contents and total polyphenol contents of wines were 11.28~12.43 mg% and 24.79~28.20 mg%, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of wines ranged 63.33 to 67.89% and the ABTS radical scavenging activity of wines 82.16~86.06%. The results of this study provide a basis for establishing the brewing process of rose sparkling wines yeast strains.

Heavy water primary system decontamination technology is essential to reduce worker exposure and improve safety during maintenance and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Advanced decontamination technology development aims to secure controlled decontamination technologies that can reduce the cost of radiation exposure and dramatically reduce the amount of secondary waste generated when decontaminating large equipment and large-area facilities. We conducted a study to identify candidate corrosion inhibitors through the literature and analyze the degree of corrosion of carbon steel samples. Countries with advanced nuclear technology have developed chemical decontamination technology for the entire nuclear power generation system and applied it to the dismantling and maintenance of nuclear power plants. In the decontamination process, the corrosion oxide film must be removed. If the base metal is corroded by the decontaminant in this process, additional secondary waste is generated and treatment costs increase. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a corrosion inhibitor that inhibits the corrosion of the carbon steel base metal in the decontamination process to generate a secondary waste liquid that is favorable for waste reduction and treatment. In this presentation, a study was conducted to analyze the extent of corrosion on a carbon steel base material and identify candidate materials for corrosion inhibition testing. Samples were analyzed using optical microscopy and EPMA analysis to determine the thickness of the corroded oxide film. EPMA analysis also allowed us to map the elemental distribution of the carbon steel corrosion layer, which we plan to quantify in the future. The candidate materials for organic-based corrosion inhibitor were also selected based on their inhibition mechanism; having high electronegative elements for coordinate covalent bonding at metal surface and hydrophobic nonpolar group for preventing access of corrosive substances.The selection of candidate materials for corrosion inhibition testing was based on the mechanism of the corrosion inhibitor. Organic-based corrosion inhibitors are adsorbed by donor-acceptor interactions between metal surfaces and highly electronegative elements. Corrosion can also be inhibited by arranging hydrophobic nonpolar groups on metal surfaces in the solution direction to prevent access of corrosive substances.

Kori Unit 1 nuclear power plant is a pressurized water reactor type with an output of 587 Mwe, which was permanently shut down on June 18, 2017. Currently, the final decommissioning plan (FDP) has been submitted and review is in progress. Once the FDP is approved, it is expected that dismantling will begin with the secondary system, and dismantling work on the primary system of Kori Unit 1 will begin after the spent nuclear fuel is taken out. It is expected that the space where the secondary system has been dismantled can be used as a temporary storage place, and the entire dismantling schedule is expected to proceed without delay. The main equipment of the secondary system is large and heavy. The rotating parts is connected to a single axis with a length of about 40 meters, and is complexly installed over three floors, making accessibility very difficult. A large pipe several kilometers long that supplies various fluids to the secondary system is installed hanging from the ceiling using a hanger between the main devices, and the outer diameter of the pipe is wrapped with insulation material to keep warm. In nuclear secondary system decommissioning, it is very important to check for radiation contamination, establish and implement countermeasures, and predict and manage safety and environmental risks that may occur when cutting and dismantling large heavy objects. So we plan to evaluate the radiation contamination characteristics of the secondary system using ISOCS (In- Situ Object Counting System) to check for possible radioactive contamination. According to the characteristics results, decommissioning plans and methods for safe dismantling by workers were studied. In addition, we conducted research on how to safely dismantle the secondary system in terms of industrial safety, such as asbestos, cutting and handling of heavy materials and so on. This study proposes a safe decommissioning method for various risks that may occur when dismantling the secondary system of Kori Unit 1 nuclear power plant.

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.

The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the worldwide distributed agricultural pest insects and has been known to show high resistance to conventional chemical insecticides. Since it has been reported that secondary metabolites from actinomycetes show insecticidal activities against various insect pests, actinomycetes could be a potential source of insecticidal compounds. In this study, culture extracts of Streptomyces strains were tested for their insecticidal activity against Spodoptera exigua. Among them, culture extracts of IMBL-0003 strain which was identified as Streptomyces celluloflavus showed a high insecticidal activity (more than 90% mortality). These results suggested that secondary metabolites of this isolate could have potentials to be a efficient eco-friendly pesticide for controling Spodoptera exigua.

The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice teachers’ understanding of democratic citizenship. This study utilized the democratic citizenship frame to assess 17 participants’ comprehension of this concept. The researcher designed a method course where participants in groups analyzed science activities to identify democratic citizenship components. Through the analysis of two science activities—one on energy and the other on climate change—and the development of science panels addressing various global issues, preservice teachers' understanding of democratic citizenship was enhanced. Preservice teachers showed a good understanding of critical thinking, communication and collaboration, and STS (science, technology, and society); and the most enhanced understanding of empathy, which was the least perceived in pre-survey, component of democratic citizenship. The democratic citizenship frame proved to be a valuable tool for teaching and learning this topic, particularly when applied to socioscientific issues in the classroom. More research-based revisions of the science curriculum are necessary, and more systematic practices with reflections are essential in teacher education.
