To investigate the effects of stretching and temperature of pre-rigor muscle on sarcomere length and tenderness of beef, hot boned M. Iongissimus dorsi thoracis were stretched or non-stretched, and stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 48 hrs ($0^{\circ}C$ stretched and $0^{\circ}C$ non-stretched) or at $10^{\circ}C$ for 7 hrs followed by $0^{\circ}C$ for 41 hrs ($10^{\circ}C$ stretched and $10^{\circ}C$ non-stretched). There was no significant difference in muscle pH and drip loss between $10^{\circ}C$ stretched and $10^{\circ}C$ non-stretched samples, but they were significantly (p<0.05) lower in pH and drip loss than $0^{\circ}C$ stretched and $0^{\circ}C$ non-stretched samples. Stretched muscles at $0^{\circ}C$ showed significantly (p<0.05) higher cook loss than control muscles. Sarcomere length of $10^{\circ}C$ stretched muscle was significantly (p<0.05) longer than that of control. However, control muscle showed significantly (p<0.05) higher value of shear force at 2 and 14 days postmortem compared to that of $10^{\circ}C$ stretched muscle. Panels rated $10^{\circ}C$ stretched muscle as having a significantly (p<0.05) better tenderness, flavor and overall acceptability compared to those of control muscle. Results suggest that longer sarcomere length and tender beef could be obtained by stretching of pre-rigor muscle and storing it at $10^{\circ}C$ for 7 hrs followed by $0^{\circ}C$ for 41 hrs.

In order to control or kill insects and pests, control ripening, and delay spoilage, kiwifruits were irradiated with gamma rays at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 kGy. Vitamin C, hydrogen donating activity, sugar content, organic acid content, texture, chromaticity, and sensory qualities were examined in the fruits over 2 weeks of storage at 20$^{\circ}C$. Vitamin C content and hydrogen donating activity decreased during the storage period, but they were not reduced by the irradiation process. Total sugar and reducing sugar contents increased as the storage period increased; however, these were also unaffected by irradiation. Organic acid content significantly decreased as a result of irradiation, and all samples had decreases in organic acids over the storage period. Hardness decreased with the storage period as well as with increasing doses of irradiation. In terms of Hunter's color values, irradiation increased the $L^*-\;and\;a^*-$ values in the initial storage period, but it did not have any significant effect on these values during the 2 weeks of storage. When compared with control samples, the irradiated samples had lower color and overall acceptability scores just after irradiation (week 0). However, during the storage period, the irradiated samples had higher scores for smell, taste, texture, and overall acceptability than the control. In conclusion, based on the results, gamma irradiation up to 0.5 kGy is the recommended treatment to maintain the overall quality attributes kiwifruit.

A flipped learning class was held in an attempt to overcome the limits of lecture-type classes in pre-service science teacher training and to provide a student-oriented education suitable for digital native generation. The principles of teaching-learning in flipped learning were applied to the general ADDIE model to design the class; learning materials were developed accordingly. The developed flipped learning materials and class design were verified for their validity using an expert panel's Delphi method and validity test, in which the validity was verified with 0.75 CVR. The developed flipped learning materials were applied to the theory of science education and the instructional effectiveness was analyzed. The results suggest that the students' motivation to study, interest, and confidence in learning increased; however, their satisfaction in class decreased by 30% as compared to the lecture-type class and their self-confidence in the improvement of their academic achievement was not sufficient. In order for a flipped learning class to be successful, the class should be small in size, which would ensure appropriate teacher-student communication and individualized learning; also, the students' burden of learning should be reduced and accessibility to video materials for pre-class learning should be reinforced.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate on primary bone tumors of fibula. Materials and Methods: Patients who received operative treatment from January 1993 to December 2005 for primary bone tumors of fibula were analyzed for clinical outcomes. Results: There were 17 patients(10 males, 7 females) who were diagnosed for primary bone tumors of fibula. Osteochondroma was the most common diagnosis and others were osteosarcoma, fibrous dysplasia. The malignant bone tumors were 10.5% of all fibula tumors. There were 12 cases on proximal, 4 cases on mid shaft, and 1 cases on distal part of fibula. At the final follow up, 14 patients reported patient satisfaction of either excellent or good. Conclusion: Bone tumor of fibula doesn't need reconstruction after the resection unless it invades tibia or its site distal, which enables easy surgical resection. However, generally it is rare and accompany with vague symptoms, so careful approach to diagnosis is necessary because late diagnosis can mean the needs for amputation.

The purpose of this study is to develop a science field study area using Geumgang(Geum River), fossil origins and various geological resources in Youngdong area of Chungcheongbuk-do as educational resources; and utilize them to develop an education program to cultivate earth science and topophilia. The Youngdong sedimentary basin (Cretaceous period) has a well-developed outcrop along the Geumgang and it is therefore easy to find various geological structures, plant fossils, and dinosaur fossils. Also, it has a distinct sedimentary structure, such as mud cracks, ripple marks and cross-bedding. Science field study area(6 observation sites) were developed based on school curriculum, textbook analysis, and professional earth science education panel discussion to create a convergence education program. The result of validating the developed program showed that all the items were satisfactory ($CVR{\geq}0.88$) in the test categories. The science field study teaching-learning model was applied to actual classes. The evaluation result for class satisfaction was positive, scoring Rickert scale 4.18. The result of observation about the outdoor classroom process in the science field study area revealed that students were able to form a new image of the beautiful scenery of the Geumgang. Also, the students could gain a new understanding, concept and value of various geological objects (sandy beach, stepping-stones, dinosaur footprint fossils, sedimentary formation), which naturally allowed them to form topophilia.

Currently, there are many studies being conducted around the world to reduce exposure dose to radiation for patients to receive medical treatments in a safe environment. We developed and fabricated of this shield that the patients are protected from the radiation and are need of safety control during breast imaging. In this study, for breast imaging, GE Senography 2000D were used and set at SID 65cm, 28kVp, and 63mAs. The measuring instrument was Fluke's Victoreen 6000-529. And we performed Face Block on with 30 patients. The chamber on the actual thyroid glands to take CC and MLO and measure the dosage before and after wearing the Face Block. For the results, after wearing the Face Block, exposure was decreased by 53.8%-100% and 65.8% in average in CC View and by 50%-100% and 60.7% in average in MLO View. The development of the Face Block that practically decreased the exposure dose of thyroid glands, crystalline eyes during breast imaging and reduced the patients' anxiety during breast imaging. The Face Block is expected to improve patients' satisfaction and contribute to reducing patients' exposure dose, but more efforts should be made to reduce exposure dose to medical radiation.

In this study, a program was developed and implemented for middle school students in the 'Healthy Family Relations' of the home economics based on design thinking process. The purpose was to investigate whether a significant difference is displayed in terms of empathy ability improvement among middle school students. For this purpose, a "Wise 'stay-at-home' life" program comprised of five class sessions was developed based on design thinking process. The program was implemented to male and female students in the second year of middle school, and students' empathy ability was examined by a pre- and post-test comparison. As a result, the developed program was found to have generated a significant improvement in cognitive empathy among middle school students. In addition, the students' satisfaction with the class was generally positive. In particular, many students mentioned that they were interested in activities such as 'empathizing through Instagram' and 'creating a sub-character'. However, there also was an opinion that the lesson activities were difficult to complete due to the lack of time and restrictions on cooperative activities due to COVID-19. In this research, we developed a program that can be used in both face-to-face and non-face-to-face situations in order to flexibly deal with situations where the learning environment changes due to COVID-19. And this research is significant particularly in that it confirmed that home economics have a positive influence on improving middle school students' empathy ability, particularly the cognitive factor of empathy.
