The sense of crisis regarding regional extinction due to low birth rates and an aging population is expanding. Generally, the local extinction index is used to analyze local extinction. However, it is challenging to diagnose the actual situation of village extinction risk in rural areas, even though the regional extinction index can be analyzed in units such as Si-Gun-Gu and Eup-Myeon-Dong. This difficulty arises because the regional extinction index solely relies on natural population growth indicators (elderly population and female population aged 20-39). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a village extinction index that can identify the disappearance of rural villages. Additionally, the aim is to apply the developed indicators to the village (administrative ri) spatial unit. The existing regional extinction index used only mortality-related indicators as factors for natural population decline and fertility-related indicators as factors for natural population growth. However, the developed village extinction index included not only the factors of natural population change but also incorporated social population growth factors and factors related to the pace of village extinction. This is the key difference between the developed village extinction index and the existing regional extinction index. In this study, the indicators of "total population," "number of young women aged 20-44," "number of elderly population aged 70 or older," and "number of incoming population" were selected to develop a village extinction index. The village extinction index was developed by incorporating both natural population growth indicators and social population growth indicators. The developed village extinction index was applied to administrative villages. This research is expected to provide a more accurate understanding of the current state of rural villages facing extinction.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and diagnose the actual state of extinction risk in rural villages by analyzing time series population characteristics and extinction risk index of rural villages(Haengjeong-ri). As a research method, a time series analysis was performed on the 'population over 65' and the 'female population aged 20 to 39' related to the local extinction index. In addition, the disappearance of Haengjeong-ri village was analyzed using the existing local extinction index. For the study, Haengjeong-ri village-level GIS spatial data was constructed, and population attribute data in 2010, 2015, and 2020 were constructed. In order to derive implications, the change of the 'high risk of extinction 'village in the 2020 local extinction index, the distribution of the population of 'high risk of extinction' villages by three years, the population analysis of 'high risk of extinction' villages continuously from 2010 to 2020, and 'high risk of extinction' An analysis of the increase and decrease of the population of the village and the change of the local extinction index of Haengjeong-ri, where the city, county, and towns are located were analyzed. As a result of the analysis of this study, it was found that the number of villages with an aging of more than 50% increased by 2 to 3 times over 10 years. As a result of the analysis of the local extinction index, in 2010, the southwestern and central regions of South Chungcheongnam-do were high-risk extinction areas, but in 2020, all cities except Cheonan and Asan were converted to high risk extinction areas. Research has shown that Chungnam is facing a serious aging and village extinction crisis, and since the disappearance of villages gradually spreads, an initial response policy is needed. This result will be the same not only in Chungcheongnam-do but also in other rural villages. Therefore, in the case of rural villages, it is necessary to analyze and diagnose the Haengjeong-ri village unit, not the Eup-Myeon unit, and a response policy through diagnosis must be prepared urgently.

Background: This study purposed to analyze the relationship between the local extinction index and medical service uses of chronic diseases. The local extinction index is an indicator of the demographic structure and population aging of the region. Methods: The 2014-2018 statistics of National Health Insurance Corporation and Korean Statistical Information Service data were used for the analysis. First, descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general status of research variables. Second, a panel analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between the local extinction index and medical service uses of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, periodontal disease, arthritis, mental health, epidemic disease, liver disease). Medical service uses were measured by the number of visits/inpatient days and medical charges of seven chronic diseases. Results: Panel analysis results showed that higher local extinction risks (meaning lower local extinction index) had a positive relationship with the number of visits/inpatient days and medical charges of chronic diseases. But the relationships were varied when the seven chronic diseases were analyzed separately. Conclusion: This study showed a significant relationship between the local demographic structure and medical service uses of chronic disease. Analyzing the local demographic structure will be an essential prerequisite step for implementing appropriate regional health care policies.

Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the local extinction index and total medical service utilization. Methods: A fixed effects model in panel analysis was performed for the 228 administrative districts in Korea. The statistical yearbook on the usage of medical services by region and Korean Statistical Information Service data were used from 2010 to 2019 for analysis. Medical service utilization was represented by the number of visits day, the number of inpatient days, and medical charges. Control variables were selected by using an Anderson model. The local extinction index was calculated using resident registration population data. Results: Descriptive statistics showed that the number of areas at risk of extinction increased from 61 to 95 for the study years. In addition, the number of visits, the number of inpatient days, and medical charges all increased during the study years. After controlling for variables affecting medical service utilization and doing a panel fixed effects model, the result suggested that a one-step increase in the local extinction index was significantly associated with a 12.29% decrease in medical charges of inpatients, a 7.33% decrease in medical charge of outpatient, a 5.21% decrease in the number of inpatient day, and a 5.54% decrease in the number of visits day. Conclusion: This study showed that the higher the region's extinction risks, the higher the region's total medical service utilization. The results of this study suggested that there was a disparity in medical service utilization between areas at risk of extinction and areas not at risk of extinction, so measures should be taken to address this disparity.

최근 우리나라는 인구감소 문제를 겪으며 기존의 외연적 확산을 지향하는 개발방식은 주택, 기반시설의 공급과잉, 부동산 방치 등의 다양한 도시문제를 발생시키고 있다. 이를 최소화할 수 있는 해결책으로 도시기능을 주요 거점에 모으는 압축적이고 고밀의 공간구조로의 전환이 촉구되고 있다. 그러나 단순 물리적 압축이 아닌 오늘날의 인구구조 변화, 산업구조의 변화 등에 따른 기능적 연계성 및 연결성을 고려한 압축도시가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 저출산, 고령화, 인구감소 등으로 인하여 소멸위기를 겪고 있는 국내 소멸위험도시들의 압축성을 측정하고 공간구조적 특성을 살펴보았다. 기존 연구들에서 사용되었던 압축성 평가지표와 더불어 공간구문론을 활용한 연결성 지표를 포함하여 6개의 지표(인구, 토지이용, 생활서비스 접근성, 교통 접근성, 연결성, 집중성)의 압축성을 비교·분석하고, 종합적인 압축지수를 산정하였다. 분석결과, 종합 압축지수 기준 1등급 지역이 2.3%, 2등급 지역이 4.6%, 3등급 지역이 16.09%, 4등급 지역이 43.68%, 5등급 지역이 33.33%로 분류되어 전반적 압축도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이때 압축지수에 영향을 미치는 도시특성이 지역에 따라 다르므로 각 지역의 압축지표별 영향력을 고려하여 소멸위험 대책과 공간정책을 수립할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 공간구문론을 활용하여 연결성을 측정하였으며, 소멸위험도시들의 압축도를 정량적으로 비교·분석하였다는 점에서 의미가 크며, 소멸위험도시의 공간전략 수립에 중요한 자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

빈집 연구에 있어 발생 영향 요인 파악은 매우 중요하다. 연구의 목적은 농촌 지역의 빈집 발생에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하는 것이다. 121개 연구 대상 지역을 설정하고, 8개의 독립변수(노후 주택 비율, 주택 거래 비율, 주택 보급률, 지역 소멸 지수, 순 이동률, 지역 노령화 지수, 인구 대비 종사자수, 재정자립도)와 1개 종속변수(빈집 비율)를 선정하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 일반농산어촌 지역 전체를 대상으로 하는 모형 1과 군 지역을 대상으로 하는 모형 2는 모두 통계적으로 유의미하였으며, 잔차의 독립성에 문제가 없었다. 둘째, 지역 소멸 지수 및 노후 주택 비율의 경우 모형 1과 모형 2에서 모두 통계적으로 유의미한 정(+)의 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 셋째, 주택 보급률의 경우, 모형 1에서만 통계적으로 유의미한 정(+)의 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었고, 주택 거래 비율의 경우, 모형 2에서 통계적으로 유의미한 반(-)의 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구의 시사점가 도출되었다. 첫째, 가구 및 인구 증가가 없는 주택 보급률의 상승은 지역 내 빈집의 발생 확률을 높이는 것을 시사하고, 노후 주택 비율이 높을수록 빈집 발생 확률이 높아진다. 둘째, 주택 거래 활성화를 위해서는 지역의 중장기 발전을 위한 투자 유입이 필요하다. 셋째, 지역 소멸 지수는 빈집 비율과 유의미한 관계를 가지므로, 지역의 영속성을 위해 장기적인 시각에서 지역 활성화 정책이 도입되어야 한다.

The Multi-wavelength Raman LIDAR (MRL) system was developed to enable a better understanding of the complex properties of aerosols in the atmosphere. In this study, the microphysical, optical, and radiative properties of mixed aerosols were retrieved using the discrete aerosol observation products from the MRL. The dust mixing ratio, which is the proportion of dust particles to the total mixed, was derived using the particle depolarization ratio. It was employed in the retrieval of backscattering and extinction coefficient profiles for dust and non-dust particles. The vertical profiles of aerosol optical properties were then used as input parameters in the inversion algorithm for the retrieval of microphysical parameters including the effective radius, refractive index, and the single scattering albedo (SSA). Those products were successfully applied to an analysis of radiative flux using a radiative transfer model. The relationship between the MRL derived extinction and aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) in short-wavelength was assessed over Gwangju, Korea. The results clearly demonstrate that the MRL-derived extinction profiles are a good surrogate for use in the estimation of optical, microphysical, and radiative properties of aerosols. It is considered that the analytical results shown in this study can be used to provide a better understanding of air quality and the variation of local radiative effects due to aerosols.

The roots of Aristolochia elegans Mast.(Aristolochiaceae) are widely used in Mexican traditional medicine as a remedy for scorpion venom. Current experimental evidence supports its purported antidote properties. However, collection from the wilderness has lead to local extinction of natural populations. In order to contribute to species preservation, cultivation, and standardization of morphological and pharmacological properties, a micropropagation method was developed. This includes in-vitro germination of seeds to produce aseptic plantlets, induction of multiple budding, and acclimatization. The treatment with benzylamino purine(10 ${\mu}M$) induced the highest number of buds(3.1 on average) in both types of explants. On the other hand, indolebutyric acid(1.5 ${\mu}M$) caused the highest root index(11.8) per explant. One hundred percent of the micropropagated plantlets developed vigorously after the acclimatization process.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has been explored recently as a promising approach to increase energy conversion efficiency in photovoltaic devices, particularly for thin film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. The LSPR is frequently excited via an electromagnetic (EM) radiation in proximate metallic nanostructures and its primary con sequences are selective photon extinction and local EM enhancement which gives rise to improved photogeneration of electron-hole (e-h) pairs, and consequently increases photocurrent. In this work, high-dielectric-constant (k) $ZrO_2$ (refractive index n=2.22, dielectric constant $\varepsilon=4.93$ at the wavelength of 550 nm) is proposed as spacing layer to enhance the LSPR for application to the thin film silicon solar cells. Compared to excitation of the LSPR using $SiO_2$ (n=1.46, $\varepsilon=2.13$ at the wavelength of 546.1 nm) spacing layer with Au nanoparticles of the radius of 45nm, that using $ZrO_2$ dielectric shows the advantages of(i) ~2.5 times greater polarizability, (ii) ~3.5 times larger scattering cross-section and ~1.5 times larger absorption cross-section, (iii) 4.5% higher transmission coefficient of the same thickness and (iv) 7.8% greater transmitted electric filed intensity at the same depth. All those results are calculated by Mie theory and Fresnel equations, and simulated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations with proper boundary conditions. Red-shifting of the LSPR wavelength using high-k $ZrO_2$ dielectric is also observed according to location of the peak and this is consistent with the other's report. Finally, our experimental results show that variation of short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) of the LSPR enhanced a-Si:H solar cell by using the $ZrO_2$ spacing layer is 45.4% higher than that using the $SiO_2$ spacing layer, supporting our calculation and theory.
