  • A nearshore current or a wave-induced current is an important phenomenon in a nearshore zone, which is composed of longshore, cross-shore, and rip currents. The nearshore current is closely related to the occurrence of coastal accidents by beachgoers. A considerable number of coastal accidents by beachgoers involving the rip current have been reported at Jungmun Beach. However, in studies and observations of the nearshore current of Jungmun Beach, understanding of the rip current pattern remains unclear. In this study, a scientific approach is taken to understand the nearshore current and the rip current patterns at Jungmun Beach by numerical computation for year of 2015. From results of numerical computation, the occurrence and spatial characteristics of the rip current, and the similarities between the rip current and incident wave conditions are analyzed. The primary results of this study reveal that the rip currents are frequently generated at Jungmun Beach, especially in the western parts of the beach, and that the rip currents often occur with a wave breaking height of around 0.5 ~ 0.7 m, a wave period of around 6 ~ 8 seconds, and a breaking angle of around 0 ~ 15 degrees.

  • A eukaryotic marine microalga was isolated from Jungmun Saekdal Beach, Jeju Island, Korea and an integrated approach, including molecular phylogeny and morphology, was used to determine its taxonomical status. Molecular phylogenetic evidence inferred from the small subunit (SSU) 18S rRNA sequence and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) secondary structure analysis clearly showed that the isolate belonged to the recently described species, Jaagichlorella roystonensis. Distinctive morphological keys of the species were also observed by light microscopy and scanning/transmission electron microscopy(S/TEM). In this study, a Korean marine J. roystonensis species was described for the first time and was subsequently added to the national culture collections in Korea.

  • Chronic pain can cause disability, mild to severe suffering and high medical costs. Some unfortunate patient do not improve despite administering conservative treatment and then the various interventional therapies, including oriental medical treatment and/or surgery, and they find themselves in search of a more effective pain relief. Deep dry needling is one of the newer treatment modalities for these patients. The last 10 years have seen a lot of progress in understanding the neural pathways and the type and extent of tissue involvement during chronic pain. This in turn has stimulated the development of new treatment techniques, and deep dry needling is one of them. So, the authors of this paper discuss the individual theories, the characteristics and future directions of several deep dry needling techniques, and we examine the new dry needling technique that has been recently developed in Korea.

  • Background: This purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy, occurrence of motor block and other side effects of 48 hr continuous postoperative epidural infusions with 0.125% ropivacaine with fentanyl or 0.15% ropivacaine with fentanyl. Methods: Forty patients undergoing Cesarean section were randomly allocated into two groups. Both groups received epidural injection of 2.0% lidocaine 19 ml and 0.75% ropivacaine 2-5 ml with fentanyl $50{\mu}g$ for 20 minutes before surgery. Following surgery, a continuous epidural infusion using a two- day infusor was given for 40 minutes for post-operative pain control. Group 1 (n = 20) then received 0.125% ropivacaine and 6 ug/ml of fentanyl at a rate of 2 ml/h. Group 2 (n = 20) received 0.15% ropivacaine and 6 ug/ml of fentanyl at the same rate. Visual analog scales (VAS) for pain during rest and movement, sensory change and motor blockade were assessed for 48 hr after surgery. Results: There were no significant differences in VAS for pain during rest or movement. The incidence of side effects was similar in both groups. Conclusions: Using 0.125% ropivacaine with fentanyl via an epidural route provided similar pain relief and side effects as 0.15% ropivacaine with fentanyl.

  • A granite drilling core (-1200 m) obtained near the Majang cave in east part of the Cheju island. The rock is pinksh in color and has miarolitic cavities. It is coarse-grained rock and consists of quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar, biotite and magnetite. The rock shows characteristically micrographic texture. The alkali feldspar is subhedral to anhedral and generally interstitial grains and fonns micrographic texture. K/Ar age of alkali feldspar in the core specimen is $58.14{\pm}1.4Ma $ (early Tertiary). The age, rock features and whole rock chemistry of the rock has strong resemblance to micrographic granites, so called "masanite", in southeastern part of the Korean peninsular. The granitic fragments from drilling core (- 920 m) obtained in Jungmun area in south part of the Cheju island consist of quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar and biotite. The fragments in the Jungmun area are similar to granitic xenolith near the Cheju city for the absence of micrographic texture and different alkali feldspar.

  • Petrographic investigation has been carried out to determine the composition of the beach sediments and the affecting factors which have controlled their compositional variations from Hyupjae, Aeweol, Iho, Samyang, Hamdeok, Sehwa, Pyoseon, Jungmun, and Hwasun areas along the coast of the Cheju Island. Average mean sizes of the beach sediments are Hyupjae 2.2ø, Aeweol 0.8ø, Iho 1.4ø, Samyang 2.4ø, Hamdeok 1.6ø, Sehwa 1.5ø, Pyoseon 2.1ø, Jungmun 0.4ø, and Hwasun 0.9ø, thus, aries from 0.4 to 2.4ø. The beach sediments from Pyoseon and Hwasun areas are poorly sorted, those from Aeweol and Jungmun areas are moderately sorted and those from the rest of the areas are moderately well sorted. While-colored beach sediments in Hyupjae, Aeweol, Hamdeok, Sehwa, and Pyoseon areas are mostly composed of calcareous shells (more than 85%) such as mollusk, red algae, benthic foraminiferas, etc., whereas volcanic rock fragment is the dominant component of the black-colored beach sediments in Iho, Samyang, and Hwasun areas. Especially, the relatively white-colored beach sediment in Jungmun area, which is on e of the carbonate-dominant areas, shows a higher content of rock fragments than the other carbonate-dominant areas. The beach sediments in Pyoseon area show a high content of carbonate intercalates. Considering the contributions by organisms according to grain size, grains with the size range of 1∼2ø are mostly composed of calcareous red algae fragments, and grains with the size range of 2∼3ø consist of mollusk fragments. It is also notable that bryozoan fragments comprise about 48% of the sediment in Samyang area with the size range of 0∼1ø. The composition of the beach sediments in Cheju Island appears o be controlled by the riverine supply rate of volcanic rock fragments, the lithology of the rocks distributed ear the beaches, the direction of alongshore currents, and the direction of storms, etc.. It is suggested that the beach sediments in Iho and Samyang areas show black color because of the higher supply rate of the volcanic rock fragments from the nearby rivers, whereas those in the rest of the areas show white color due to the relatively lower content of volcanic rock fragments and higher content of carbonate components transported from shallow marine environment. In Hwasun area, the content of volcanic rock fragments is high, and they are directly from the tuffaceous rocks distributed nearby. Also, the volcanic rock fragments in Jungmun area are transported not only from the rivers nearby but also from the nearby tuffs by storm activities. The beach sediment in Pyoseon area contains a high content of carbonate intercalates, which formed in the nearby shallow marine environment through marine cementation. This indicates that active marine cementation occurs in shallow marine environment near Pyoseon area.

  • A study on the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus among sea water, sea mud, and marine products in Hwabuk, Samyang, Daepo, Jungmun, Pyoson, Anduk, Aewol, and Gwakji on the coastal area of Jeju island was conducted from January to December in 2002. The 2,880 total specimens of 960 sea waters, 960 sea mud, 960 marine products were collected and studied for the rate of isolation of V. parahaemolyticus, and biochemical, serological and antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed. A total of 417 strains of V. parahaemolyticus were isolated and identified from 2,880 total specimens. In the test of biochemical properties, 100 of V. parahaemolyticus isolates in the presence of 0.85% NaCl were positive in the utilization of lysine, ornithine, indole, glucose, and mannitol, and negative in the utilization of ONPG, arginine, sodium citrate, urea, tryptophane, inositol, sorbitol, rhamnose, sucrose, and melibiose, $H_2S$ production and VP reaction, while positive or negative in gelatin liquefaction and utilization of amygdalin or arabinose. The isolation rates to the specimen were 161 strains (16.8%) from 960 of sea waters, 137 strains (14.3%) from 960 of sea mud, and 119 strains (12.4%) from 960 of marine products. The isolation rates of V. parahaemolyticus from 8 coastal areas were 14.4% (52/360) in Hwabuk area, 15.3% (55/360) in Samyang area, 13.6% (49/360) in Daepo area, 18.3% (66/360) Jungmun area, 13.1% (47/360) in Pyosun area, 16.4% (59/360) in Anduk area, 12.5% (45/360) in Aewol area and 12.2% (44/360) in Gwakji area, respectively. The distribution of 417 V. parahaemolyticus, isolates was high at Jungmun with 18.3% (66/360), and from sea water with 16.8% (161/960).

  • Jungmun beach was confirmed only one beach as a nesting place of seaturtles in Jeju of South Korea. We investigated the environment conditions for nesting of seaturtles (sites 1, 2) to target as the spawning grounds of accidental nesting place. Sand temperatures of beaches at 5 cm above and 10, 30 and 50 cm below the surface of beach were measured at intervals of approximately 10 days during June to December. These data indicated that the optimum (over $25^{\circ}C$) sand temperature for spawning and hatching of seaturtles in the sites 1 and 2 from June 23 to September 29, 2008 and from June 23 to October 17, 2008, respectively. Also, maintained the optimum coastal water temperature (above $20^{\circ}C$) for seaturtles maintained from June 23 to November 17, 2008. Therefore, Jungmun beach could be the possible spawning grounds of accidental nesting place, where the landed seaturtles and hatched young seaturtles could be survived successfully.
