The scuttle fly central nervous system (CNS) is unobservable during egg and larvae instar stage 1. During days 2~3 of larvae instar stage 2, the left and right hemisphere of the brain can be observed. Below the brain, the subesophageal ganglion (SOG) connects to the ventral nerve cord (VNC). During days 3~5 of larvae instar stage 3, the CNS enlarged slightly with no other changes. During days 1~3 of the pupal stage the CNS moved to the head with no distinguishable changes from the previous stage. During days 4~6 of the pupal stage, the left and right hemisphere of the brain had fused into one mass and the optic lobe (OL) located on the side of the brain completed its development. During days 7~9 of the pupal stage, the OL began to show eyeball pigment. The SOG was connected to the brain and the VNC began to separate, which was accompanied by an increase in nerve fibers. During days 10~12 of the pupal stage, the brain of the CNS and VNC was clearly distinguished and the brown pigmentation of OL became darker. During days 13~15 days of the pupal stage, the separated brain and VNC became connected by thin nerve fiber. The VNC began to separate into two with a greater increase in nerve fibers. The adult fly showed similar features to the previous stage, but the brain was located in the head and the VNC in the chest.

This study was performed to assess the practice behavior and the need for cancer screening in order to design the community projects in Suwon city. A random sample of urban married women was surveyed on knowledge, attitude, and practice of breast and cervical cancer screening by telephone from April 28th to May 19th. Four hundred two married women completed the questionnaire, and the results were as follows: 1. Urban women were not generally knowledgeable about symptoms, signs and etiology of breast and cervical cancer. Only 11.4% of respondents were fully aware of those subjects. 2. Two hundred eighty six repondents(71.1%) reported having had a mammogram or Pap smear, while 116 respondents(28.9%) reported never having had a mammogram nor Pap smear. 3. The rate of mammogram increased by age and income status significantly(p〈0.05). 4. The majority(73.1%) of women who had a mammogram reported that it was part of a routine physical examination and another 24.3% of the women reported that they had a mammogram for specific breast problems. Meanwhile, the reasons reported for never having a mammogram were as follows; never had any problems (72.1%), no chance(11.2%), no time(4.3%). 5. The main factors associated with adherence to mammography screening guidelines was monthly income status. 6. The majority(80.6%) of women who had a Pap smear reported that it was part of a routine physical examination and another 16.0% of the women reported that it was part of a routine physical examination and another 16.0% of the women reported that they had a Pap smear for specific uterus problems. Meanwhile, the reasons reported for never having a Pap smear were: never had any problems(69.0%) and no chance(11.5%) 7. Women with higher income status were most likely to have a Pap smear regularly (p〈0.01), and the rate of Pap smear increased by education level significantly(p〈0.05). The main factors associated with adherence to Pap smear screening guidelines were education level and monthly income status, similar to those of mammograph. These findings indicate that married women in Suwon city show a lower rate of breast and cervical cancer screening practice than that of developed countries. The rate of mammograph was especially low. It is, therefore, suggested that cost, environmental factors, process, and information for screening tests be considered more programmatically before designing a community project for breast and cervical cancer screening.

This study focused on the decomposition of toluene in a plasma-photocatalytic hybrid system. Hexagonally packed meso-structured Mn-titanosilicates (Mn-Ti-MCM-41), as the photocatalysts, have been prepared by the hydrothermal method. The physical properties of the photocatalysts were characterized using XRD, XPS, TEM, BET/ICP, and $NH_3$/Toluene-TPD. Experiments were carried out at the applied voltage of 9.0 kV and at room temperature of $20^{\circ}C$. In the plasma only system, the activity of the toluene decomposition was higher than that in the photocatalytic system. However, the amount of by-products, such as phenol, $C_2{\sim}C_4$ alkene, was also increased in the plasma only system. However, the by-products decreased remarkably in a plasma-photocatalytic hybrid system. When Mn5mol%-Ti-MCM-41 was used as a photocatalyst in a plasma-photocatalytic hybrid system, the $CO_2$ selectivity in products was increased dramatically compared to other catalysts. It was confirmed that a plasma-photocatalytic hybrid system was better for toluene decomposition compared to photocatalytic and plasma only systems.

This study examined the stress reaction, resilience levels, and the effects of the stress reaction on the resilience among dental hygiene students. From July 11, 2016 to July 29, 2016, questionnaires were collected from 274 dental hygiene students in several areas. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS Statistics ver.21.0. The stress reaction level of dental hygiene students was found to be 2.59 out of 5 points and the resilience level was 4.47 out of 7 points. The stress reaction and resilience showed a significant negative correlation in Fatigue, Tension, Frustration, Anger, Depression, Aggression(p>0.001), and stomatization(p>0.05). In other words, the lower the resilience, the higher the stress reaction.The factors of stress reaction influencing the resilience were depression and somatization, which explained 25.6%(R2=0.256). Therefore, to enhance the resilience of dental hygiene students, it is important to investigation the stress reaction and there should be more concern with students who have higher depression and stomatization. In addition, efforts to control the stress reaction are needed.

This study was conducted to identify the conceptual definition and attributes of nurses' Tae-um based on the conceptual analysis method of Walker and Avant. The attributes of nurses' Tae-um were derived from the organizational culture, inexperienced new nurses that are victims, senior nurses that are perpetrators, alteration of teaching, verbal and physical violence experiences, and psychological and physical symptoms. The antecedents were due to excessive work, high work intensity, job stress, lack of workforce, poor working environment, lack of job ability of new nurses, organizational hierarchy, and power imbalance. Moreover, the consequences were physical and psychological symptoms, decreased efficiency, increased distrust, increased turnover intention, and decreased quality of patient care. Improvements of working conditions and social supports for expanding nursing staff and building a culture in which communication and mutual cooperation are used to solve the antecedents of Tae-um among nurses is necessary. This study suggests the need for more qualitative research on Tae-um in nurses, the development of tools that reflect the attributes of Tae-um in nurses, and the development of a program to improve the culture of Tae-um in nurses. This study is significant in that it provides a rationale for development of an adaptation program for new nurses by suggesting the antecedents of Tae-um and solutions for it.

대기오염물질이면서 동시에 생체내 화학반응의 산물이기도 한 nitric oxide(NO)는 그 생체내 분포가 광범위하고 생리적 역할이 다양하여, 최근의 생명과학 분야에서 가장 크게 주목받는 몇가지 연구대상 중 하나이다. 세포에서의 NO 산생은 nitric oxide synthase (NOS)에 의해 촉매되는데, 이들은 brain form (bNOS, neuronal; nNOS, NOS I), inducible form (iNOS), 및 endothelial form(eNOS)로 구분되는데, 이중 bNOS(nNOS)와 eNOS는 inducible form에 대비되는 constitutive form(cNOS)에 해당하므로 각각 ncNOS 와 ecNOS로도 불리운다. NOS는 아미노산인 L-arginine을 산소와 결합시켜 L-citrulline으로 변환시키면서 NO를 유리하고, 이 NO는 세포내의 guanylate cyclase를 활성화하여 cyclic GMP를 생산하거나, superoxide(O2-) 및 수소이온과 차례로 결합하여 반응성이 매우 높은 수산화기(-OH)를 발생시켜 세포독작용을 유발하기도 한다. 정상상태에서 뇌혈관내피세포의 ecNOS로 부터 유리된 NO는 혈관을 확장시켜 신경세포에 대한 산소공급을 원활히 유지해 주지만, 순환장애를 일으켰을 때는 뇌조직내의 iNOS로부터 대량의 NO가 유출되어 신경세포의 손상을 가져온다. 호흡기에서는 NO가 기도평활근을 이완시키고 폐혈류를 개선하므로, 미숙아나 성인의 호흡장애시에 소량의 NO를 흡입시키면 oxygenation을 호전시킬 수 있다. 그러나 대기오염이나 흡연 등으로 대량의 NO를 흡입할 경우 치명적인 폐부종이나 methemoglobin혈종을 일으킬 수 있다. 순환계에서는 cNOS가 혈관을 확장시켜 조직의 혈류를 유지하는데 일익을 담당한다. 세균내 독소(lipopolysaccharide; LPS)나 각종 명역조절물질들이 혈관내피세포와 혈관평활근세포로 부터 과다한 NO를 유리시키면 혈압이 급격히 떨어져 순환허탈상태에 빠지게 된다. 심장에서는 관상혈관 내피세포의 eNOS가 심근의 혈류를 유지해 주지만 허혈이나 세균내독소 또는 면역조절물질 등에 의하여 심근세포나 침윤된 대식세포의 iNOS로 부터 과량의 NO가 유리되면 심근세포의 손상이 초래된다. 신장에서는 내피세포의 cNOS에 의하여 사구체여과가 조절되고 있는데, 세균내독소나 면역 조절물질 등에 의하여 사구체관막세포(mesangial cell)등의 iNOS로 부터 과량의 NO가 유리되면 신조직과 사구체의 손상을 초래한다. 위와 같이 대부분의 장기에서 ecNOS는 조직의 혈류를 유지하는 역할을 하며, iNOS는 애초 세균 등 침입자에 대한 세포독작용이 그 존재 목적이라고 풀이할 수 있겠으나 일종의 부작용으로 자체조직의 손상을 초래하게 되는 것으로 본다. 따라서 NO와 관련된 각종 병변의 치료를 위해서는 NOS의 비선택성 억제제인 arginine 유도체 보다는 iNOS에 대한 선택적 억제제인 S-methylisothiourea(SMT), aminoethylisothiourea(AETU), aminoguanidine (AMG), agmatine, L-canavanine, transforming growth factor b1(TGF-b1) 등의 사용을 검토해 보는 것이 타당할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to validate the effects of the disabled like program on the interest, attitude, satisfaction with daily life and sympathy among nursing university students. Overall, 70 nursing students were investigated in this study. The program contents included experiences simulating those of physically and visually handicapped persons. On the first day of the program, two study assistants measured the general characteristics, interest level, attitude, satisfaction with daily life, sympathy and meaning of nursing among study subjects. These factors were then measured again using the same form after completion of the program. The interest level among disabled persons was significantly increased after the program (t=-6.191, p<0.001), and also seven items on the attitude changes to the disabled persons were significant (p<0.001). After the program, participant's satisfaction with their daily lives increased significantly (t=-5.465, p<0.001), as did their sympathy for disabled persons (t=-6.125, p<0.001). In addition, the meaning of nursing increased significantly after the program (t=-6.125, p<0.001). Taken together, the results of this study showed that the disabled like program experience had positive educational effects.

Companies that have suffered serious labor shortages are relocating their factories abroad where they can solve this problem by increasing the employment of foreign workers. Construction sites also employ foreign workers to supplement the scarce manpower, and the demand for foreign workers has been gradually increasing over time. Recently, based on discussions on whether or not to introduce foreign workers, the policy on the input of foreign workers into domestic construction sites has been shifted to exploring the actual input conditions and efficient management methods. In this study, we investigated the current status and input situation of foreign workers at the construction sites of the target area, analyzed the problems they posed from the manager's viewpoint, and derived a method of improving the utilization of foreign workers at construction sites. In order to proceed with this study, we surveyed the actual situation of the construction sites, which consisted mainly of foreign workers and domestic workers (managers), by investigating the construction sites, and conducted 1: 1 interviews to ensure the reliability of the survey. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed using the SPSS analysis program, and the response rate was analyzed for each item. As a result, various problems, such as institutional problems, communication problems, and quality deterioration due to malfunction, appeared. Therefore, this study derives an improvement plan for the efficient utilization of foreign workers by improving the institutional level related to their language education, wages and employment.

With the increase in power consumption due to the surge in the demand for power, it is necessary to improve the quality or design of the power (supply) for the purpose of reducing the energy consumption and so reduce the power loss. The switchboard is a mechanical device that receives electricity from the electricity generation facilities of KEPCO and divides it into the facilities required for each building. Switchboards generally consist of enclosures, switches, power conductors, and control components. This study deals with energized power conductors, which constitute the main element in the switchboard. Through the measurement of the effective ac resistance, it was confirmed that the vertical array structure of the conventional type plate conductor is inefficient. If the effective AC resistance increases significantly, the sectional area of the conductor becomes relatively large due to the skin effect. In this study, we studied the energy and material savings that could be obtained using the asterisk (*) array structure, which minimizes the effective ac resistance by reducing the skin effect. The core technology principle of this study is the energy saving switchgear based on conductor resistance reduction technology utilizing the asterisk array structure. The present invention involves a plate-shaped conductor arrangement structure capable of canceling out the magnetic field generated on each of the plate conductors (rst or abc) of the AC power supply in the power distribution panel by mutual action. The effect of this structure is to reduce the amount of inductive reactance due to the increase in the cross-sectional area and reduction of the effective AC resistance.

Most of Korea's beauty college education focuses on the subject rather than the industrial field of the industrialized world. It is centered on subjects rather than on-site job modules, and training sessions are required for graduation of the training period rather than having flexible configurations. Therefore, the education curriculum and industrial field training are becoming mismatched because of the goal of acquiring a certificate in skin care major subjects. Based on this problem, the researcher made a questionnaire about the certificate utilization of students who are majoring in skin care and 294 students were surveyed. It was found that it had a high degree of utilization to take a job, but that it had below normal level on utilization after entering the industrial field. Based on this analysis result, I propose to review the need to reorganize the skin care curriculum, which is based on the national competency standards (NCS) beginning in 2014. Education experts at the college of skin care should continue to develop a curriculum centered on academic subjects and industrial field curriculum as closely as possible, by focusing on the direction and trend of the industry's branches and industry experts.
