Fine particulate matter known as PM 2.5 refers to the atmospheric particulate matter that has a diameter less than 2.5 micrometer identified as dangerous element for human health and its concentration can provide us a clear picture about air dust concentration. Humans stay indoor almost 90% of their life time and also there is no official indoor dust concentration data, so our study is focused on measuring the indoor air quality. Indoor dust data monitoring is very important in hospital environments beside that other places can also be considered for monitoring like classrooms, cements factories, computer server rooms, petrochemical storage etc. In this paper, visible light communication system is proposed by Manchester encoding technique for electromagnetic interference (EMI)-free indoor dust monitoring. Important indoor environment information like dust concentration is transferred by visible light channel in wide range. An average voltage-tracking technique is utilized for robust light detection to eliminate ambient light and low-frequency noise. The incoming light is recognized by a photo diode and are simultaneously processed by a receiver micro-controller. We can monitor indoor air quality in real-time and can take necessary action according to the result.

The purpose of this study is to develop a personality education tea culture therapy program to effectively improve juvenile delinquency prevention and social adaptation. In order to verify the effectiveness of the tea culture therapy program through social intervention, we analyzed whether there were significant differences in the scores of social characteristics such as self-efficacy, self-control, and interpersonal relationships of juvenile detention students before and after participating in the program. Ten juvenile detention students between the ages of 14 and 17 who were accommodated to a juvenile detention center in B city were selected as the experimental group for the study. The tea culture therapy program was conducted 10 times as a social intervention personality education for juvenile delinquents, and as a result, self-efficacy was found to have a pre-mean of 2.37 (SD 0.33) and a post-mean of 2.49 (SD 0.31), showing a significant difference (Z=-5.874. P=.000), self-control showed a significant difference with the pre-mean 2.06 (SD 0.20) and the post-mean of 2.16 (SD 0.19) (Z=-4.743, P=.001). The interpersonal relationship was found to have a significant difference, with a pre-mean of 1.90 (SD 0.32) and a post-mean of 2.15 (SD 0.21) (Z=-5.892, P=.000). The above results show that this program has a significant effect on improving social characteristics such as self-efficacy, self-control, and interpersonal relationships among juvenile detention students. Therefore, the tea culture therapy program developed in this study for personality education for juveniles can be used as a personality education program for various types of adolescents as well as in the field of correctional welfare in the future.

The skin ulcer in Leishmcnio mcior infection is known to be variable according to the inoculation sites even in a susceptible host. The present study traced the immunoblot patterns by the site of inoculation and duration of infection in BALB/c mice. L. mqior were subcutaneously inoculated on the nose, footpad, and back of the mice, in a dose of 3 × 106 promastigotes. Sera of the mice were collected every 10 days after inoculation. SDS-PAGE separated soluble protein bands of the promastigotes and immunoblot was carried out with the infection sera. The skin ulcer first appeared on the nose at 15 days, and on the footpad at 17 days after inoculation. The ulcer on the back appeared after 90 days. In the mice with ulcer on the nose or footpad, serum IgG antibody reacted to 202, 139, 98, 83, 81, 67, 65, 62, 59, 54, 52, 42, 26, and 23 kDa bands at 20 days after inoculation. In mice inoculated on the back, however, the immunoblot showed visible reactions with 202, 83, 81 74, 67, 65, 62, 59, 54, 52,20 and 17 kDa bands at 90 days after inoculation. The present result showed that the antigenic protein bands of L. mqior promastigotes were differed by the inoculation site and duration of infection. Since the skin ulcer and the serum antibodies to antigenic bands between 67-52 kDa appeared simultaneously, it is suggested that the serum IgG antibodies may play a role in formation of the skin ulcer in BALB/c mice.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of participation in jazz dance to body image and mental health in an attempt to make a contribution to the spread of jazz dance. The subjects in this study were 183 people who were selected by purposive sampling from a population of Seoul and Gyeonggi province residents who were at the Western age of 18 and up. The selected people took general education courses at colleges, attended cultural centers or fitness clubs, or learned dance for all. One instrument used in this study to assess their body image was Jourard and Secord(1954)'s Body Cathexis Scale, which was modified into six factors and 39 items. The other was Kim Gwang-il, et. al.(1978)'s 46-item inventory, which translated Rickles and Rock(l976)'s SCL-90 with 90 items to suit Korean circumstances. That inventory was modified into 31 items and four factors. For data handling, factor analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis and path analysis were utilized. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. The extent of jazz dance participation had an impact on their body image. Those who performed jazz dance more frequency had a better image about their health and the lower part of the body. 2. The level of jazz dance participation exerted an influence on their mental health. A longer participation term led to more interpersonal sensitivity, and a higher participation frequency was followed by more somatization. 3. Concerning the causal relationship of participation in jazz dance to body image and mental health, the participation frequency affected health, the image of the lower part of the body and somatization in the firsthand manner, and the image of the lower part of the body had a firsthand impact on interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, anxiety and depression. Accordingly, the image of the lower part of the body played a crucial role as a parameter in the relationship between the jazz dance participation frequency and mental health.

Volcanic activity, which can read to various danger and hazards to human life, has been part of the Earth's history for a long time. There are approximately 1,520 volcanoes during the Holocene period (about 10,000 years ago) that have been active on Earth. Recently, there are about 210 volcanoes have been recorded since 2010. Meanwhile, there are 83 known active volcanoes in 2018 based on the USGS data. Approximately 80-90 volcanoes are active on Earth for over a year. More than 90% of these volcanoes are located on the circum-Pacific volcanic belt, commonly known as 'Ring of Fire'. This high number of active volcanoes within this area coincides with the distribution maps of active volcanoes on the earth: about 80% on subduction zone of the convergent plate boundaries; 15% on divergent plate boundaries and 5% on intra-plate zone. Five volcanoes are most active during the survey period of 51 weeks: 50 times in Aira (Japan), 49 times in Sabankaya (Peru), 49 times in Sheveluch (Russia), 44 times in Ebeko (Russia) and 40 times in Kirishimayama (Japan). Based on the available data about volcanic activity, there is no significant change in volcanic activity and similar levels of volcanic activity is observed every year.

크라이오 워터펌프(CWP)는 크라이오 펌프(CP)와 달리 10 K 활성탄 어레이는 장착하지 않고 100 K 정도로 냉각시킨 배플만을 사용하여 물의 배기속도를 최적화 하는 데 초점을 맞춘 진공펌프다. 용기 압력이 10-9 mbar 대가 될 때까지는 잔류기체의 90% 이상이 수분이므로 다른 기체들의 배기 보다는 물을 잘 배기하는 것이 배기시간을 단축하고 도달 진공도를 낮추는 첩경이라는 아이디어에 근거를 두고 있다. CWP는 물 흡착확률을 거의 1에 가깝게 만들어서 오리피스 컨덕턴스에 육박하는 이상적인 펌프를 제작할 수 있지만 용도상 직부형(close type), 통과형(in-line type) 및 내장형(in-vessel type) 등 세 가지 다른 형태에 따라 성능도 약간씩 다르다. CWP는 모든 기체에 반응하는 정통적인 CP에 비해 훨씬 간단하고 저렴하게 만들 수 있으면서도 진공 시스템에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있지만 물 이외의 기체들을 배기할 펌프가 필요하다는 측면에서 활용에 제약이 있다. 만일 TMP를 이미 사용하고 있거나 작은 TMP를 추가로 달아서 충분히 작동이 가능한 시스템이면서 수분 발생이 많은 곳이나, 또 활성탄의 오염이나 산소 분위기 등 CP 투입이 꺼려지는 환경이라면 CWP 사용이 좋은 선택이 될 수 있다. CWP의 물 배기용량은 CP의 알곤이나 질소 배기용량에 준하는 크기로 0.5g/cm2 이상임이 실험적으로 입증되었다. 따라서 일반적인 상황에서 정상 작동시 대부분의 기체는 TMP로 배출하고 잔류 수분만 포집하므로 CP처럼 주기적인 재생이 필요 없다. 필요하다면 CWP는 금속 표면에 응축된 물을 드라이펌프 작동만으로 쉽게 제거할 수 있고 혹시 오염 물질이 붙어도 세척이 용이하다. 이런 사용상 융통성과 여러 가지 장점에도 불구하고 그동안 물배기에 대한 인식이 미흡하고, 또 부수적이고 추가적인 비용이 드는 것으로 생각되어 주목을 받지 못했지만 디스플레이와 반도체 산업을 필두로 물 분압을 낮추고 생산수율을 높이는 것에 점점 더 관심이 높아지면서 CWP에 대한 수요도 높아지고 있다. 본 보고에서는 20인치 통과형 CWP를 만들고 14인치 TMP에 얹어 복합 진공배기시스템을 구성한 후 물 배기속도와 알곤, 질소 및 수소 배기속도를 측정하고 예측치와 비교했다. 아울러 물 배기용량 측정 및 CWP의 온도제어와 펌프재생 특성 평가 결과도 정리했다.

This study was conducted to survey the attitude of Chuncheon citizens on food waste generation. About 50% of the citizens were generating $5{\sim}10{\ell}$ of MSW (municipal solid wastes) a week. These answers were almost from below 35 years old. And the citizens answered that the ratio of FW (food waste) to MSW were 10-30%. They were generating FW enveloped in a standardized vinyl bag after dewatering. About 10% of the answers were generating FW with MSW without any dewatering. The reason for FW generation in large quantities was to cook and buy much more food materials than needed. They thought that malodor and harmful insect were the most severe problems from FW storage. The systematic management was the most needed in individual restaurants. They answered that an individual citizen should make an effort to reduce FW generation. However, in fact, they did not do their best to try to reduce FW generation. They agreed that an individual citizen should try to reform 'present food culture' and to think FW as resources.

This study looked over the laws and regulations related to forestry workers to analyze the safety accident rates for the past five years (2006-2010), and to suggest improvement plans to reduce the safety accident rates of forestry workers. Findings from comparing information obtained from data are outlined below. The safety accident rates had gradually increased in the forestry fields until 2010, but nowaday it is on the decline. Furthermore, the safety accident rates in the field of forestry were still serious compared to those in the other industrial fields as from 2.1 to 5.1 times. In the results, the workers were especially vulnerable to safety accidents when they fell under the following categories: when falling; within 29 to 90 days after starting the work; over 60 years old; less than one month of service; October; Wednesday; 11 a.m.; and the nether limbs of the body. In the case of Jeollabuk-do, it was reported that more than half of victims did not have any training in safety.
