Biogeochemical processes in groundwater-stream water mixing zone are recently of great interest because biodegradation and natural attenuation of aquatic contaminants may occur through the processes. The objectives of this study are to investigate the hydrologic and biogeochemical processes at the groundwater-stream water mixing zone through which surface water-driven nitrate may be naturally attenuated, and to examine the effect of the vertical flow exchange flux on biogeochemical processes using correlation analysis. To examine the direction of vertical water flow in the zone, vertical hydraulic gradients were measured at several depths using mini-piezometers. Microbial populations in soil samples of the zone were also analyzed by means of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Cloning methods. In addition, partial correlations among vertical flow exchange, nitrate concentration and microbial activity was investigated to examine their mutual interaction. The results showed the significant interaction among the three parameters, resulting in natural attenuation of nitrate. This study showed an example of the biogeochemical fuction of groundwater-stream water mixing zone, which can be predictable from the examination of the interaction among microbial activities, concentration of contamination and vertical flow exchange flux. temperature show a significant difference in adjacent streambed, Also, the results shows that distribution of temperature was more affected by groundwater direction than intensity of flux.

Physical and mechanical properties of Korean red pine wood grown in Anmyeon-do, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do and Sogwang-ri, Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea were measured and each relationships between them were analyzed. The ring width and latewood proportion along radial axis in Korean red pine at two-regions were measured by collecting the growth core of stands with age class V and IX. The ring width in Korean red pine at two-regions decreased with increasing cambium age. The average ring widths in age class V and IX in Anmyeon-do and Sogwang-ri were 2.865 mm, 1.705 mm, 4.764 mm, and 2.228 mm, respectively. The ring widths in Anmyeon-do were measured from 23% to 40% smaller than Sogwang-ri. The latewood proportion was negatively related with the ring width of Korean red pine at two-regions. The relationship between physical and mechanical properties of specimens for compressive and bending strength tests were analyzed with simple regression analysis. The relationship between latewood proportion and oven-dry density were positive and statistically significant. The relationship between latewood proportion and mechanical properties was slightly positive and not statistically significant, except the specimens for bending strength test of Anmyeon-do. The relationship between oven-dry density and mechanical properties was positive. It was just statistically significant in the specimens of Sogwang-ri. The compressive and bending strengths of Anmyeon-do and Sogwang-ri were 51.3 MPa, 80.5 MPa, 37.7 MPa, and 63.7 MPa, respectively. The strength difference between two-regions was determined to due to difference of ring width and latewood proportion by age class.

This study examined the effects of vocalization on upper extremity muscle activity during reaching task in patients with hemiplegia. Thirteen persons with right brain stroke performed reaching to a cup under four concurrent speech conditions of vocalizing the word "Ah" with hemiplegic side. These four conditions are self-vocalization, external vocalization, imaginary vocalization, and no vocalization. The muscle activity(Biceps brachii, Triceps brachii, Middle deltoid, and Upper trapezius) were measured using MP150. Muscle activity was significantly higher under self-vocalization and external vocalization conditions compared to the muscle activity under imaginary vocalization and no vocalization conditions on triceps brachii muscle.(p<0.05). Triceps brachii muscle was highly correlated with biceps brachii muscle(r=0.777, p<0.05). The results suggest that self-vocalization and external vocalization can be used in facilitating upper extremity movements in patients with stroke. When working with patients with right hemispheric stroke, therapists might explore possibilities of using patient's self-speech to enhance the quality of upper extremity movement performance.

This study examined the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)-related variables of firefighters through a systematic literature review. Electronic databases were searched, including RISS, National Assembly Library, NDSL, KmBase. The search terms were PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Firefighter. Eleven studies from 146 references screened were included. All studies were non-experimental and correlational analyses. The positive correlation factors were age, duration of work, traumatic events, frequency of mobilization, number and strength of traumatic events experienced, work burden, coping method, D-type personality, depression, and anger rumination. The negative correlation factors were resilience, social support, self-esteem. To improve the mental health of firefighters in the future, professional intervention programs should be constructed to improve resilience, social support, and self-esteem, which are protective factors of PTSD.

Give that statistical analysis is an essential component of foodservice-related research, the purpose of this review is to analyse research trends of statistical methods applied to foodservice-related research. To achieve these objective, this study carried out a content analysis on a total of 251 out of 415 research articles published in The Korean Journal of Culinary Research(TKJCR) from January 2010 to December 2013. Of the total 164 research articles focussing on natural science research, qualitative research, articles written in English were excluded from the scope of this study. The results of this study are as follows. First, it turned out that 269 research articles applied quantitative research methods, and only 10 articles applied qualitative research methods among the 279 research articles based on social science research methods. Second, 20 article (8.0%) among the 251 did not specify the statistical methods or computer programs that were used for statistical analysis. Third, it was found that 228 articles (90.8%) used the SPSS program for data analysis. Fourth, in terms of frequency of use, it was revealed frequency analysis was most used, followed in order by reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, t-test, variance analysis, and cross tabs analysis, However, 3 out of 56 research articles that used a t-test did not suggest a t-value. 10 out of 64 articles that used ANOVA and demonstrated a significant difference in between-group mean did not conducted post-hoc test. Therefore, the researchers with interest in foodservice fields need to keep in mind that choosing and applying the correct statistical technique both determine the value and the success or failure of a study. To enhance the value and success of a study, it is necessary to use the proper statistical technique in an efficient way in order to prevent statistical errors.

This study performed to identify the relationship between job stress and self-efficacy based on the related research review and text network analysis. For the literature review, we performed the search process at three domestic and one foreign database using key words, 'nurse', 'stress', 'self-efficacy'. A total of 18 papers were selected as the target literature. Nine of these studies reported a statistically significant negative correlation between nurses' job stress and self-efficacy. It was difficult to compare between studies' results because of the optional usage of the questionnaires. In addition, a text network analysis was conducted by extracting keywords from the 18 papers. The keyword with the highest frequency of appearance was job stress, and the main words with high frequency of emergence were self-efficacy, hospital, and correlation. To clarify the relationship between the keywords, it is proposed to perform a survey on the influence factors through the development of Korean version measurement.
