The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare brain activation that appears in the self-regulation process of biology major and non-major college students in life science learning. The self-regulation task implemented a life science learning situation with the concept of biological classification. The brain activation of college students was measured and analyzed by fNIRS. In the assimilation process, bilateral FP and left DLPFC show significant activation, and the two groups show a difference in the left OFC activation related to motivation and reward. In the conflict process, the left DLPFC shows significantly lower activation in common, and the two groups show a difference in activation between BA 46, which is related to recent memory, and BA 47, which is related to long-term memory. In the accommodation process, a significantly high activation was found in right DLPFC in common, and the two groups show a difference in activation between right DLPFC and right FP. These areas are in the right frontal lobe area and are related to the understanding of life science knowledge. As a result of this study, it can be seen that the brain activation patterns of biology major and non-major college students are different in the self-regulation process. In addition, we will propose additional neurological studies on self-regulation and present systems and learning strategies that can be constructed in school settings.

하수처리장 내 생물반응조에서는 유기물을 제거하거나 질산화(Nitrification) 반응을 일으키기 위하여 산소를 요구하고 있으며, 필요한 산소는 송풍기 운영을 통해 공급하고 있는 상황이다. 질산화 반응을 일으키기 위해서 처리장 내 일정 이상의 산소가 수중에 공급되어야 한다. 생물반응조내 용존산소가 부족할 경우 활성슬러지의 침전성이 저해되어 오염물질 저감 효율이 떨어지게 되며, 과도한 산소가 공급되어도 수처리의 효율은 개선되지 않으며 반응에 사용되지 않은 산소들은 대기중으로 방출된다. 또한 유입수질에 따라 실시간으로 반응조 내 필요한 산소는 달라지게 되므로 유입수질에 맞는 효율적인 하수처리장 운영이 요구되고 있다. 하수처리장 내 적절한 산소를 공급하기 위하여 많은 연구들이 활발하게 진행되어 왔으나 실제생물학적 처리시 요구되는 산소의 양을 산정할 수 있는 한계점을 지니고 있으며, 하수 성분, 용량과 같은 환경에 따라 차이를 보이고 있어 범용적으로 사용하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 적용 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 하수도 설계 시 사용되어지고 있는 하수도 시설기준의 산소요구량 및 공기공급량 산정식을 통하여 유입수질에 따라 실제 하수처리장에 필요한 산소요구량 & 공기공급량을 산정하는 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 하수도 설계기준의 여러 가지 수식을 실제 하수처리장 내 필요한 요소로 변환시켜 범용적으로 사용가능한 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 하수처리장 송풍량 산정 시스템 적용에 따른 송풍량 절감 효율을 비교분석하기 위하여 2021년 A하수처리장의 4월 월간 데이터를 활용하여 하수처리장에서 필요한 송풍량을 산정하여 실제 사용된 송풍량과 비교 분석하여 송풍량 절감 효율을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 실제 하수처리장 내 송풍량 산정 시스템을 도입하게 된다면 운전자 경험에 의존하고 있는 수동적인 제어 방식에서 벗어나 자율 제어를 통한 효율적인 하수처리장을 운영할 수 있어 송풍량 절감 및 탄소중립에도 이바지 할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

Enzyme Immobilized Membrane Bioreactors (EMBRs) are a novel method to treat dyes within wastewater. Due to their efficacy and high resistance to the environment, there has been a large amount of research being done in this area. There are a variety of ways to approach EMBRs that include both the enzyme itself and the structure of said enzymes. The bioreactor itself can be modified to suit the needs of the dye removal. Ranging from Enzymatic bioreactors to utilizing nanostructures such as graphene oxide or carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, nanoparticles such as TiO₂ can be used to enhance the EMBR further as well. The polymer-based membrane supporting structure also includes a variety of different ways to approach the problem of increasing efficacy. As seen, during the past decades, different approaches to this issue that utilize EMBRs have been done. This review aims to summarize the methodologies and describe the various improvements to EMBRs that have been made.

Antibiotics is one of the emerging pollutants found in various water sources as well as wastewater due to its excessive use. Different techniques are available for treating antibiotics contaminants in water such as advanced oxidation process and biological treatment etc. These two processes are ineffective, and the generation of side products makes this process more complicated. Membrane technology is another alternative for the removal of contaminants. To improve the removal of antibiotics and their resistant gene, membrane bioreactors are modified with NaClO and carbon materials. The generation of abundant reactive species is active against the antibiotic's resistant genes.

Objectives In the previous studies, it has been suggested that temperament and character may affect specialty choice in medical students. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of temperament and character on specialty interests in medical students. Methods A total 132 third-year medical students initially participated in this study. Among these participants, 128 students had filled out both demographic and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) questionnaires. Socio-demographic data, specialty interests and Cloninger's TCI scores were obtained. The specialty interests were categorized into surgical, medical and other departments. Results Among 128 students, 88 (68.7%), 29 (22.7%) and 22 (8.6%) students chose medical, surgical and other departments, respectively. Students choosing surgery departments showed lower Harm Avoidance scores (F = 4.39, df = 1, p = 0.04) and higher Self-Directedness scores (F = 4.30, df = 1, p = 0.04) than those who chose medical departments. There was no significant differences in Novelty Seeking, Reward dependence, Persistence, Cooperativeness, Self-Transcendence scores between groups. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has demonstrated the relationship between TCI scores and specialty interests of medical students in Korea. The current study suggests that temperament and character influence specialty interests in medical students. These findings could have implications for medical education research and career counseling.

We aimed to examine difference between the brain activation pattern based upon hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding among the pre-service teachers not majoring in biology, the pre-service teachers majoring in biology and the biologists using fMRI. We have designed two sets of task paradigm on the biological phenomena: hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding and thirty six healthy participants (twelve participants per group) performed the tasks. The result was showed that 1) there were significant differences of brain activation patterns in hypothesis-generating on the biological phenomena among three groups, 2) the left middle frontal gyrus in the part of DLPFC region was play an important roles of hypothesis-generating and make a significant differences among three groups. The superior ability of biologists were based upon the activation of middle frontal gyrus which has secondary integration of abstract information, and 3) there were no significant differences of brain activation patterns in hypothesis-understanding on the biological phenomena among three groups. These findings provided that scientist might be skillful in generating a new scientific knowledge.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the levels of career attitude maturity according to biological sex and sex-role identity types of college students majoring in foodservice. In order to achieve this purpose, 300 students majoring in foodservice-related fields from 4 colleges located in Kyonggi, Daejeon, and Daegu province were selected as a sample. A total of 266 copies of the questionnaire were analyzed after excluding 34 responses. The results of this study were as follows. First, perceived career attitude maturity level of male students was higher than that of female students(p<.05). Second, perceived career attitude maturity level of the students categorized as the androgynous type was the highest, followed by the masculine, feminine and undifferentiated types of students (p<.05). Third, the levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance of male students categorized as androgynous, masculine, and undifferentiated types were higher than those of female students. The levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance perceived by female students classified as femininity were higher than those of male students. These results show that the androgynous type is considered to be more desirable and positive for career development. Therefore, a career counseling program in needed to enhance androgyny based on biological sex.
