In Korea, the relevant laws and regulations for fire safety in buildings have been revised. Since 2011, Performance-based Design has been conducted for large-scale or high-rise buildings. However, the Korea's performance-based design is still at a level where life safety evaluation using fire and evacuation simulation tools is compared with existing methods. Although related studies have been conducted continuously for the mandatory performance-based design, the fact that it is relatively unsatisfactory for design and construction of fire-fighting facilities as it mainly focuses on administrative and institutional improvement measures or computer simulation. This study collected 91 performance-based design documents that were carried out nationwide at the initial stage of implementation until 2016 to analyze the status of performance-based design of fire-fighting facilities. As a result, fire-fighting facilities, except for fire extinguish system facilities, were not properly designed for performance. Furthermore, the designers found that if corresponding facilities or higher-level equipment with upgraded performance is additionally installed, the performance-based design fared well compared to the existing the prescriptive-based design.

The Small and Medium Business Administration specified 123 construction materials mandatory to purchase directly and forced the public owners to provide the contractors with materials as required by related law. This study extensively reviewed various characteristics and management factors of the owner-providing materials consumed in the public apartment housing under Direct Buying System(DBS) from the public owner's perspective. Subsequently, the major managed materials were identified, and the proper response plan was developed along the material procurement process. The Procurement Management Load Indices (PMLI) of 43 materials were evaluated according to rating criteria with procurement path, project-specified level, user requirement level, supplier's responsibility, on-site work requirement, additional parts, and inspection standards. The tile and aluminum windows were classified in the group needing high-level procurement efforts to reduce the errors and ensure the efficiency. The accurate quantity estimation method, definite purchase details, management activity definition before and after production, additional quantity for rework, interference coordination were defined as the essential activities for effectively responding to DBS.

In here, we investigated the quantitative analysis method of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) with liquid chromatography-mass/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) or gas chromatography-MS. Two ways of clean-up process were investigated for LC-MS/MS instrumental analysis of IAA, but both a simple dilution and hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) solid phase extraction (SPE) were not met the optimal recovery rates for quantitative analysis. On the other hand, the clean-up method for GC-MS was finally optimized through HLB-SPE from 250-folds diluted sample and methylation with trimethylsilyl chloride in methanol for 4 h. The limit of detection for methyl ester of IAA and IBA were both 1.4 mg/L, and recovery rates showed 93-107% from the concentrated liquid fertilizer.

The dissipation characteristics and kinetics of fungicide mandipropamid and insecticide thiamethoxam in lettuce under greenhouse conditions were investigated at three different lettuce-growing fields for estimating the pre-harvest residue limits (PHRLs). The analytical methods were fully validated for the quantitation of pesticide residues using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Photo Diode Array detector or Ultraviolet-Visible Detector and applied to real samples. The lettuces suitable for shipment were harvested during 10 days including pre-harvest interval after treatment at the recommended dose by safe-use guidelines. The initial mean residues in different fields were 6.68-17.87 and 4.96-8.31 mg/kg for mandipropamid and thiamethoxam, respectively, which decreased to 16-54 and 14-44% in 10 days. The clothianidin, a metabolite of thiamethoxam, was detected in <0.02 to 0.37 mg/kg. The dissipation of both pesticides followed first-order kinetics over a period of 10 days after application. Based on the residue data, the mean dissipation rate constant (λ) and biological half-lives (T_1/2) were estimated to be -0.1060 and 6.5 days of mandipropamid and -0.1236 and 5.6 days of thiamethoxam. The PHRLs for lettuce on the 10th and 5th day before harvesting were calculated to be 63.24 and 43.56 mg/kg for mandipropamid, and 44.66 and 25.88 mg/kg for thiamethoxam, with -0.0746 and -0.1091 of the upper 95% confidence intervals of dissipation rate constant, respectively. This work would be useful as guidance for adjusting the shipment date and contribute to stabilizing the income of farmers in Korea.

We isolated microorganisms presenting high enzymatic activities for amylase, cellulase, protease, lipase or fibrinolysis from Korean traditional soybean sauce and paste. Then, the physiological properties and 16S rRNA sequences of isolated microorganisms were analyzed. All of the isolated 13 strains possessing high extra cellular enzyme activities have higher amylase and cellulase activities than Bacillus subtilis KACC 10114. All the selected strains have protease activities except for D2-14. Except D8-8 and K4-1, other strains have lipase activity. D2-7, D8-8 and K4-1 strains have higher fibrinolytic activities than others, while D8-2 strain has no activity. Most of the selected strains showed antibacterial activity even in gram positive and gram negative bacteria and yeast. Gene sequence analysis of 16S rRNA from isolated strains revealed that all the selected strains were member of Bacillus species.

This study was conducted to sanitize commercial powdery soup by gamma irradiation. Total aerobic bacteria counts were $3.22{\sim}3.77\;log\;CFU/g$ in non-irradiated samples, which decreased with irradiation dose and were not detected in irradiated samples at 3 kGy or more $(<10^2\;CFU/g)$ during accelerated storage $(60^{\circ}C,\;2\;weeks)$. Microbial counts did not significantly increase in all samples during accelerated storage period. Yeasts, molds, and coliform bacteria were not detected in all samples. Irradiated samples showed undesirable changes in flavor, taste, and overall acceptability and acceptance decreased in all samples after 2 weeks at $60^{\circ}C$. These results suggested that gamma irradiation at 3 kGy was effective to ensure the microbiological quality of commercial powdery soup with minimized sensorial changes, but further studies should be investigated to reduce detrimental effects induced by irradiation.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on improvement of the quality and safety of meat products. Emulsion type bologna sausages were manufactured with 3 kGy gamma irradiated ground beef. Beef patties were also manufactured with the addition of antioxidants (200 ppm, BHA, ascorbyl palmitate, ${\alpha}-tocopherol,\;or\;{\beta}-carotene$) following gamma irradiation of 1.5 or 3 kGy. Bologna sausages could be successfully manufactured with 3 kGy gamma irradiated ground beef and lower salt content(NaCl of 1.0 or 1.2% and phosphate of 0.2 or 0.3%) without any deteriorative results when compared with the products manufactured with regular salt content(NaCl of 1.5~2.0% and phos phate of 0.4~0.6%). No colony formations of aerobic microorganisms were observed in the sausage with NaCl of 1.2% and phosphate of 0.2 or 0.3% up to 30 days storage at $10^{\circ}C$. No significant differences appeared in the TBA values among all the sausages during storage for 30 days. No colonies of aerobic microorganisms were observed in the 3 kGy irradiated patty. Lipid oxidation of the beef patties was inhibited by the addition of an antioxidant.

The Working Unit of Forestry Management Cooperatives has been organized by the training and extention service center since 1984 so as to take charge of forestry work of Forestry Management Cooperatives, and this study has been carried out in order to find the problem of Working Unit of Forestry Management Cooperatives, and to show how to solve it in the future. We analyzed a material gained by the immediate questionnaires to 33 members of 4 Working Unit of Forestry Management Cooperatives in Ulsan-Kun, and 10 members of Working Unit of Forestry Management Cooperatives in Jinan-Kun between July and August in 1993. Later, we found that there was an almost inactive Working Unit caused by the insufficient work amount, which resulted in inefficient skill and forestry work due to leave of the skilled forestry worker. Though the government concentrates on bringing up the Working Unit centered by the specialized laborer, it is concluded that bringing up the Working Unit should consider local labor market, organization of agriculture and forestry, organization of labor, level of wage, and the amount of forestry work.

This study was a correlational study between the violence experience and post-traumatic stress disorder, compassion fatigue, and job satisfaction of emergency room nurses. The researcher conducted this study on 114 randomized emergency room nurses from 9 emergency rooms located in Gyeonggi-do and collected data for approximately 4 weeks from July 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019. The mean values of verbal violence showed 11.50±3.37 points, physical threatening showed 11.57±4.15 points, and physical violence showed 11.07±5.20. In this study, the mean values of post-traumatic stress disorder was 34.59±14.46 points, compassion fatigue was 26.50±7.17, and job satisfaction was 61.19 ± 8.38 points. Multiple linear regression indicated that post-traumatic stress disorder (β=-.21, p=.009) respectively predicted job satisfaction(F=23.11, p<.001) Based on the study results above, it is considered that programs that can systematically manage and prevent post-traumatic stress disorder and compassion fatigue are required to reduce post-traumatic stress disorder, and compassion fatigue from violence experience of emergency room nurses. Moreover, safe work environments should be established to work efficiency.

본 연구는 참우드풀과 우드풀의 중간형으로 알려진 좀우드풀(Woodsia intermedia Tagawa)의 전엽체 증식 및 포자체 형성을 위한 기내 외 번식조건을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 실험재료는 포자를 발아시켜 획득한 전엽체를 8주 간격으로 계대배양하면서 확보하였다. 전엽체 증식에 적합한 배양조건을 탐색하고자, 전엽체 300mg을 다진 후 배지종류(Knop, 1/4, 1/2 및 1MS)와 배지구성물질(sucrose와 활성탄)의 농도를 달리하여 8주간 배양하였다. 배양실은 온도 $25{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$와 광도 $30{\pm}1.0{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$(16/8h)로 조절되었다. 연구결과, Knop배지에서 생체중이 2.4g으로 전엽체의 증식이 가장 왕성하였다. 한편 MS계열 배지는 농도에 관계없이 매우 저조한 증식을 보였다. Sucrose는 0.5%를 첨가한 배지에서 생체중의 증가량이 가장 컸으며, 활성탄은 첨가농도에 관계없이 유사한 증식수준을 나타냈다. 포자체 형성에 적합한 토양조건을 확인하고자, 인공토양(원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트 및 마사토)의 비율을 달리하여 5종류의 혼합토양을 조성하였다. 혼합토양을 사각분($7.5{\times}7.5{\times}7.5cm$)에 충진하고, 준비된 전엽체 1g을 10초간 분쇄한 다음 토양표면에 분주하여 11주간 재배하였다. 재배환경은 온도 $25{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$, 광도 $43{\pm}2.0{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$(16/8h) 및 습도 $72{\pm}2.0%$로 조절되었다. 연구결과, 모든 처리구에서 포자체의 형성이 확인되었으며, 특히 원예상토와 마사토를 2:1(v:v)로 혼합한 토양에서 포트당 421.0개의 많은 포자체가 형성되었다. 다음으로 원예상토와 펄라이트를 2:1(v:v)로 혼용한 토양, 원예상토, 피트모스, 마사토를 1:1:1(v:v:v)로 혼합한 토양, 원예상토 단용, 원예상토, 피트모스, 펄라이트를 1:1:1(v:v:v)로 혼합한 토양 순으로 각 228.0, 203.3, 126.8, 91.5개 형성되었다. 따라서 좀우드풀의 포자체를 대량으로 생산하기 위해서는 원예상토와 마사토를 2:1(v:v)로 혼용한 토양에 전엽체를 분주하여 재배하는 방법이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
