Soraksan National Park and Odaesan National Park, that are 20.7 km apart, should play an important role as habitats and corridors for wildlife because they are located in the center of Baekdudaegan. However, landscape features such as small area, fragmentation, and geographic isolation seem to impede the proper ecological functions of these two national parks. Using GIS technique, we examined the pattern of fragmentation in these two national parks and adjacent regions (Sokcho-si, Goseong-gun, Inje-gun, Yangyang-gun, and Hongcheon-gun) encompassing a total of $4573.5km^2$ in area. We then selected the patches suitable for an endangered carnivorous species, leopard cat, based on habitat conditions, and identified the network and stepping stone among patches to enable leopard cats to migrate. Diverse roads and artificial facilities in the study area generated a total of 24,701 patches: 39 patches among these were selected as potential habitats upon considering the habitat condition such as vegetation types and minimum area for leopard cat. Three patches nearby Gyebangsan and Bangtaesan were identified as a potential network center to relieve the effects of fragmentation and isolation of the two national parks. Our results also showed that patches containing Jombongsan and Bangtaesan would act as a source patch from there leopard cats can disperse to both national parks. It is an urgent task to identify the pattern of fragmentation and the connectivity between patches in national parks and adjacent areas for wildlife conservation because almost all national parks confront land- scape problems similar to the two national parks examined in this study.

Purpose: The purpose of the study quantitatively investigates the experience of unmet healthcare service utilization by rural populations in vulnerable areas during the COVID-19 pandemic based on Andersen's behavior model. At the same time, this study attempts to describe the experiences of unmet healthcare service utilization among participants in vulnerable rural areas by analyzing qualitative contents through open-ended question. Methods: Data were collected from October to November 2022 using Qualtrix, a web-based survey platform. A total of 863 participants completed an online survey. Quantitative data were analyzed using 𝑥² test and logistic regression analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: The factors affecting participants' unmet healthcare service utilization were type of residential area and underlying disease. The qualitative analysis identified; four categories and nine sub-categories. Conclusion: Based on these findings, it is necessary to develop a disaster nursing response model according to the type of residential areas and the number of people.

We proposed the Power-line EMI filter for vehicle-shelter which have attenuation performance of 100 dB from 10kHz to 1 GHz. The inductor and capacitor for EMI filter design was charactenzed using circuit simulator and then, we experimentally verified 100 dB attenuation for the conducted emission noise through power line. This results will be used for the application systems of protection weapons against EMI attacks as well as vehicle-shelter.

Authors tried to classify landforms of civilian-restricted trans-border coastal region of the East Sea by using both field survey and remote sensing data including IKONOS images and digital maps. As a result, authors can draw the boundaries of landform units on satellite images and classify landforms effectively. Typical landforms of undisturbed depositional coastal area such as coastal sand dune, sand bar, lagoons, and tombolo are found within the study area. Also, riverine wetlands and estuarine wetlands are readily discernable on both satellite image and field survey. Even though landforms within the study area are relatively small, they are so dynamically connected that their preservation value is very high.

It is very important for a DVR system to compress mass video data because they should be able to store#playback of video data. There are several high efficient DVR products using ordinary MPEG-4 compression fur data compression. But most of them support only CIF(D1/4) image, which means degraded image quality in comparison with input image source. In this paper, M-JPEG and H.264 Codec are realized using DSP. To multiple channels system M-JPEG is used for data transmission through network, and Data compression rate is improved as about 4 times as ordinary MPEG-4 compression by supporting Baseline Profile of H.264. As a result, high resolution with the width 720 pixels and the height 480 pixels can be supported.

Two specimens (407~438 mm in standard length) of a pleuronectid Atheresthes evermanni were collected by a gill-net from the coastal waters off Goseong-gun, middle East Sea of Korea. These specimens are characterized by a large mouth, narrow interorbital space, invisible eye at blind side, long and slender gill rakers, emarginated caudal fin, and almost straight lateral line. This is the first record of A. evermanni in Korean waters; we therefore add it to the Korean fish fauna and propose new Korean name, "Hwa-sal-chi-ga-ja-mi-sog" for the genus and "Hwa-sal-chi-ga-ja-mi" for the species, respectively.

Objectives Most of the acupuncture or dry needling points for trigger finger were limited around the metacarpophalangeal joint, A1 pulley, and flexor muscle tendon. Thus, this study aimed to report a case of a patient with trigger thumb which improved using dry needling on additional muscle points. Methods The author has investigated why additional points are needed including what its accompanying effects are. Dry needling and electro-dry needling have been conducted based on anatomical structure. Moreover, a follow-up observation was performed twice to evaluate if the effects of this treatment have been maintained. Treatment progress was evaluated using a numeric rating scale (NRS) and Quinnell's classification of trigger finger. Results After 28 days of treatment, NRS and Quinnell's trigger grade decreased significantly without adverse effects. The treatment effect has been maintained until follow-up observation. Conclusions Additional points are recommended for the radical treatment of trigger finger.

Neozoarces pulcher, the Tape Blenny, is limitedly distributed in cold waters of the northwestern Pacific. Although N. pulcher has been known to occur on the coast of Hamgyeong-do in Korea, it has never been described on the basis of a voucher specimen collected from the Korean Peninsula. Recently, N. pulcher was collected from the coast of Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do of middle East Sea, and a morphological description is provided here for the first time. This species is characterized by the presence of a dermal flap on top of the snout, 43 spines and 57 soft rays on the dorsal fin, a single spine and 81 soft rays on the anal fin, 10 pectoral fin rays, and 100 vertebrae. This specimen confirms that, the species occurs south of Hamgyeong-do.

This paper contained an actual investigation of a wildfire which broke out on 23 April R 1996 in Go-sung Kun, Kang-won Do examined the calories and the total calories of the m main trees which were Quercus variabillis and Pinus densiflora. There were three important f fire spread factors which were weather condition, fuel condition and terrain. The weather c condition was the most dangerous alarm level. The fuel condition having a high calory v value, Pinus densiflora made up 63% of the forest. Terrain of the forest were mostly c covered by steep slopes and complicated line construction. This experimental calorie study a about Pinus densiflora and Quercus variabillis showed that Pinus densiflora had 13,34kcal/g a and Quercus variabillis had 9.64kcal/g. In the case of weight loss of pyrolysis, Pinus densiflora had a higher percentage rated 35.71~10.05% than Quercus variabillis. Accordingly, Pinus densiflora showed lower than Quercus variabillis in heat resistance.
