PURPOSE: This study sought to investigate the effects of treadmill gait training combined with a thoracic mobility exercise on gait and balance in patients with stroke. METHODS: In this single-blinded, randomized, controlled, comparative study, a total of 20 patients at a rehabilitation hospital who had suffered a hemiplegic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (treadmill gait training combined with a thoracic mobility exercise, n = 11) or control group (treadmill gait training without the thoracic mobility exercise, n = 9). All the participants underwent comprehensive rehabilitation therapy (5 × /week for 4 weeks). Additionally, the experimental group underwent 20 min of treadmill gait training combined with 10 min of a thoracic mobility exercise (3 × / week for 4 weeks) and the control group underwent the former but not the latter. Gait and balance were measured before and after the 4-week training. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed in the 10-m walking test (10 MWT), timed up-and-go (TUG) test, center of pressure (COP) velocity, and COP length in the experimental group (p < .05). This group also showed a larger decrease in the 10 MWT and COP velocity than the control group (10 MWT, -3.02 sec vs. -1.68 sec, p < .05; COP velocity, -.07 mm/sec vs. .08 mm/sec, p < .05). CONCLUSION: Treadmill gait training, combined with the thoracic mobility exercise, could be effective in improving the gait and balance of stroke patients. It could also be more effective in improving walking speed and static balance than the treadmill gait training alone.

Purpose : The purpose of this research is to propose a more efficient exercising method by measuring and comparing the movement of center of pressure (COP) while hemiplegic stroke patients perform kneeling squat exercise and squat exercise. Methods : 17 hemiplegic stroke patients were instructed to perform kneeling squat exercises and squat exercises, and the research was designed as a cross-over study. For data collection, a pressure distribution measurement platform (PDM) was used to measure the movement area, length, speed, and distance from the center of the X-axis of center of pressure. The data was then analyzed through a paired t-test. Results : Kneeling squat exercises have been found to have a significantly smaller center of pressure movement area compared to that of squat exercise(p<.001), and the center of pressure movement length of kneeing squat exercise has also been found to be relatively shorter (p<.001). Moreover, kneeling squat exercises have been found to have a significantly slower center of pressure movement speed than squat exercise (p<.001), and kneeing squat exercise center of pressure movement distance from the center of the X-axis has been found to be significantly small (p<.001). Conclusion : Kneeling squat exercises have significantly decreased amounts of center of pressure movement area, distance, and speed compared to squat exercises. Also, the center of pressure movement distance from the center of the X-axis was relatively closer. This result seems to derive from patients performing their motions with wide base surfaces while being refrained from using unstable ankle joints during kneeing squat exercise. Therefore, it can be concluded that kneeing squat exercises show relatively balanced center of pressure movements between the paralyzed and non-paralyzed sides because kneeling squats show smaller shakes in the center of pressure.

2016년 경주지진, 2018년 밀양 세종병원 화재사고, 2019년 강원도 동해안 산불, 2020년 코로나바이러스감염증-19 재난까지 매년 다양한 유형의 재난이 발생하면서 재난대응에 대한 관심 역시 커지고 있다. 정부는 물론 각 지자체에서 재난유형별로 재난대응 매뉴얼에 따라 체계적으로 해당 재난에 대한 대응을 실시하고 있으나 중앙 상황실과 현장 간 소통의 어려움, 의사결정의 지연 등으로 인해 신속한 대응방안 수립 및 피해상황 파악에 있어서 미흡한 대처를 보여주어 질타를 받기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 중앙 상황실과 현장 간의 원활한 소통과 재난으로 발생한 피해현황 및 응급복구 계획 등을 신속하게 수립할 수 있도록 군부대에서 사용하고 있는 공통작전상황도(Common Operating Picture, 이하 COP)의 개념을 재난대응 체계에 도입하여 제시하고자 한다. 공통작전상황도는 미군이 군사적인 대응을 위하여 정보공유 차원에서 처음으로 사용되었으며, 미국연방재난관리청(Federal Emergency Management Agency, 이하 FEMA)이 현재 재난상활 발생 시 의사결정을 지원하기 위한 시스템으로 개발하여 활용하고 있다. 이를 구성하는 요소들은 재난발생시 가장 기초적인 정보(신고사항, 기상정보, 시민제보 등) 뿐 만 아니라 현장에 관한 정보(구체적인 대응상황, 요구사항 등)까지 다루어지고 있으며, 결국 공통작전상황도는 이를 모두 관리할 수 있는 하나의 통합플랫폼이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재난상황에서 공통작전상황도를 활용한 해외사례 분석과 국내 도입 시각 재난유형별로 공통작전상황도에 필요한 정보요소들을 1차적으로 확인함으로써 새로운 재난대응 시스템의 필요함을 강조하고자 한다.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of using the LED light electromyographyfeedback system (EMG-light) during Pilates exercises in women to maintain consistent muscle contraction in the abdominal external oblique muscles and reduce muscle contraction in the upper trapezius muscles. This study compared Pilates training using the EMG-light with Pilates training only in healthy women for 4 weeks. Design: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 17 healthy women were divided into an experimental group (n=9) and a control group (n=8). Both groups performed Pilates exercises as assigned, twice per week for four weeks, with each session lasting fifty minutes. The experimental group were used the EMG-light feedback system during pilates exercise while the control group did not use EMG-light. We used cervical vertebral angle (CVA), shoulder tilt angle to evaluate neck posture and standing balance with closed eye for 30s before and after exercise. Results: The control group exhibited a significant change in CVA (p<0.05). Both groups showed significant changes in shoulder tilt, center of pressure (COP) path-length, and COP velocity during eyes-closed conditions (p<0.05). However, there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of CVA, shoulder tilt, COP path-length, and COP velocity. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that Pilates exercises had positive effects on shoulder posture and balance. The use of EMG-light provided real-time visual feedback on muscle contraction during Pilates exercise. However, the experimental group did not show significant improvements compared to the control group, which performed Pilates exercises without feedback.

The air temperature is gradually increasing owing to global warming, especially in summer, therefore, the performance of an air source heat pump (ASHP) is expected to be decreased. Accordingly, the performance gap between the ASHP and ground source heat pump (GSHP) should be increased, however, the quantitative comparison has not been yet investigated. In this study, impact of global warming on the performance of the ASHP and GSHP is investigated based on the climate data for 1930, 1980, and 2030. The coefficient of performance (COP) as well as annual power consumption of the ASHP and GSHP are compared and analyzed. In the case of COP, the COP of GSHP hardly changes over the years owing to the constant ground temperature, while that of ASHP decreases by 3.7% for cooling and increases by 0.71% for heating. In the case of annual power consumption, the cooling and heating power consumption of GSHP increases by 12.69% and decreases by 15.58%, respectively, over the year owing to the changes in heating and cooling loads. As for the ASHP, the cooling and heating power consumption increases by 16.64% and decreases by 17.8%, respectively. For a more accurate comparison, power consumption ratio is introduced and shows that total annual power consumption of the GSHP to ASHP decreased from 68% in 1930 to 65% in 2030. Therefore, as global warming accelerates, the effect of reducing power consumption by using GSHP compared to ASHP is expected to be increasing.

본 연구는 공익적인 기능을 가진 야생화 초지를 조성하고, 야생화 초지에서 생산된 초류의 건물수량과 사료가치를 조사하여 가축의 조사료원으로써의 가치를 평가하기 위해 실시하였다. 시험은 관행 혼파초지(Conventional pasture; COP, 6종), 하번 초 혼파초지(Bottomgrass pasture; BOP, turf grass 6초종), 국산 야생화 초지(Native wildflower pasture; NWP, turf grass 6종 + 국산야생화 11종) 빛 외국 산 야생화 초지(Introduced wildflower pasture; IWP, turf grass 6종 + 외국산야생화 9종) 등의 4처리를 두어 난괴법 4반복으로 시험하였다. 시험은 충남 대학교 농과대학 초지시험포장에서 1997년 8월부 터 2000년 12월까지 수행하였으며, 시험결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 야생화 초지의 3년평균 건물생산량(NWP 6,688 k kg/ha, IWP 7,240kg/ha)은 turf grass에 야생화를 도입하였던 관계로 관행 혼파초지(8,592kg/ha)나 하변 초 혼파초지(7,264kg/ha)에 비하여 건물수량이 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 관행 혼파초지에 비하여 야생화 초지의 품질 이 상대적으로 약간 떨어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 한편, 국산 야생화 초지는 외국산 야생화 초지에 비하여 CP와 섬유소물질인 NDF, lignin은 낮은 편이었고, IVDMD는 높은 결과를 보였다. 3. 관행 혼파초지에 비하여 야생화 초지(NWP, IWP)는 토양의 pH와 교환성 Ca 함량은 낮은 편이었으나, 유기물 함량, 총 질소 함량, 인산 함량, 교환성 Mg, K 함량이 상대적으로 높아서 토양의 화학적 성분이 다소 개선되는 양상을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 야생화 초지는 관행 혼파초지에 비해 건물수량, 사료가치 및 건물소화율 등이 다소 낮은 결과를 보였으나 관행 혼파초지에 비하여 일부 토양의 화학적 성분이 개선되었다. 그러나 야생화초지는 가축의 조사료 생산적인 측면보다는 공익적인 측변도 강조되기 때문에 생산성과 품질이 다소 낮더라도 의미가 있다고 하겠다.

Performance of water-to-air heat pump using raw water has been analyzed under part load heating operation in March, 2010. The water source heat pump of 30 RT was installed for 24 hours cooling and heating ventilation, and the gravity inflow water from Daechung dam is used as the heat source. The daily averaged water and air temperatures are $5.7^{\circ}C$ and $9.9^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the heat pump is operated under part load condition for 7.5 hours in 24 hours. The daily averaged heat pump COP calculated with heat transferred from the brine water is 2.49 and the monthly averaged COP is 2.25 in March. Based on the database of the California Energy Commission, the monthly averaged COPs of air source heat pumps installed in U.S.A. are 1.97 in March and 2.03 in April. Therefore it is confirmed again that the performance of the heat pump using raw water is better than that of air source heat pumps.

In this study, a modified reverse flow type, one of the triple effect absorption cycles, is studied for performance improvement. The cycle simulation is carried out by using EES(Engineering Equation Solver) program for the working fluid of $H_2O/LiBr$ solution. The split-ratios of solution flow rate, UA of each component, pumping mass flow rate of solution are considered as key parameters. The results show that the optimal SRH (split ratio of high side) and SRL (split ratio of low side) values are 0.596 and 0.521, respectively. Under these conditions, the COP is maximized to 2.1. The optimal pumping mass flow rate is selected as 3 kg/s and the corresponding UAEV A is 121 kW/K in the present system. The present simulation results are compared to the other literature results from Kaita's (2002) and Cho's (1998) triple effect absorption systems. The present system has a lower solution temperature and a higher COP than the Kaita's modified reverse flow, and it also gives a higher COP than the Cho's parallel flow by adjusting split ratios.
