Background and Objectives: Clear speech is an effective communication strategy used in difficult listening situations that draws on techniques such as accurate articulation, a slow speech rate, and the inclusion of pauses. Although too slow speech and improperly amplified spectral information can deteriorate overall speech intelligibility, certain amplitude of increments of the mid-frequency bands (1 to 3 dB) and around 50% slower speech rates of clear speech, when compared to those in conversational speech, were reported as factors that can improve speech intelligibility positively. The purpose of this study was to identify whether amplitude increments of mid-frequency areas and slower speech rates were evident in Korean clear speech as they were in English clear speech. Subjects and Methods: To compare the acoustic characteristics of the two methods of speech production, the voices of 60 participants were recorded during conversational speech and then again during clear speech using a standardized sentence material. Results: The speech rate and longterm average speech spectrum (LTASS) were analyzed and compared. Speech rates for clear speech were slower than those for conversational speech. Increased amplitudes in the mid-frequency bands were evident for the LTASS of clear speech. Conclusions:The observed differences in the acoustic characteristics between the two types of speech production suggest that Korean clear speech can be an effective communication strategy to improve speech intelligibility.

증발은 자연생태계의 에너지 및 물수지에서 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있고, 증발량의 변화에 관한 연구는 수자원의 계획 및 운영에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 1973-2004년, 32년간의 4월-10월 사이 7개월 동안의 증발량 평균값과 각 월별 증발량의 변화경향을 파악하고 추세 분석을 위해서 Mann-Kendall 검정을 실시하였다. 또한 증발과 관련된 기상요소들 즉 기온, 강수량, 습도, 전운량, 풍정합 등과의 상관관계도 분석하였다. 전 세계 여러 지역에서 관측된 바와 동일하게 기온 및 강수량이 증가함에도 불구하고 여수와 진주를 제외하고는 모든 관측지점에서 증발량은 감소경향을 나타내었다. 연구 결과는 팬 증발량의 감소가 실제 증발량의 증가를 나타낸다는 Brutsaert와 Parlange(1998)의 해석처럼 우리나라의 팬 증발량의 감소 경향은 실제 증발량의 증가를 나타낸다고 판단된다.

This study examined whether the perceptions of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and individual and environmental factors related to healthy eating changed after the COVID-19 pandemic among adults living in Daqing, China. Data were collected through two rounds of online surveys conducted from April to May 2021 and from March to April 2023, using a questionnaire previously validated for use in Daqing. Using the snowball sampling method, 571 adult participants were recruited, most of whom were Daqing oilfield workers or members of their families. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine if the differences in the perceptions of the TPB and dietary environments exist during and after the pandemic after controlling for potential confounders. Scores of several subcomponents of TPB and mean scores of longterm intentions increased but scores of subcomponents and overall mean of motivation decreased after the outbreak. Multiple linear regression showed that only motivation for healthy eating decreased after the pandemic. Influenced by the pandemic, people increased their healthy eating behaviors. Nevertheless, as the pandemic subsided and the pace of life accelerated, people tended to choose convenient foods over healthy options. Consequently, the motivation for healthy eating has declined post-pandemic compared to during the pandemic.

The objective of this study was to investigate effects of dietary level of CLA and the duration of feeding CLAcontaining diets on reproductive performance in sows and piglet growth rate. Tallow (3% in gestation diet and 5% in lactation diet, respectively) was incorporated as a fat source in control diet, and each 50% (dietary CLA level of 0.75% in gestation diet, and 1.50% in lactation diet, respectively) or 100% (dietary CLA level of 1.50% in gestation diet, and 2.50% in lactation diet, respectively) of tallow was replaced by a commercial CLA preparation containing 50% CLA isomers. Diets containing CLA were fed either from d 15 premating to weaning or d 74 post-mating to weaning. The level of dietary CLA and feeding duration did not affect litter size. High dietary level of CLA, however, decreased piglet weights at birth (p<0.01) and tended to decrease backfat thickness of sows at weaning. Longterm feeding of CLA-containing diets decreased piglet weights at weaning (p<0.05) and backfat thickness of sows at weaning (p<0.05). CLA supplemented in sow diet was transferred to fetus and piglets during pregnancy and nursing period, respectively. CLA contents of femoral muscle of piglets were 2.08 to 2.57 mg per g of fat at birth, and 2.36 to 4.47 mg at 10 days of age in CLA groups, while CLA was not detected in the control group. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of CLA tended to lower backfat thickness of sow and piglets' weight at birth or weaning, but did not affect total litter size. Dietary CLA was transferred efficiently during prenatal and postnatal periods of time through the placenta and milk, respectively.

Ambient particulate matter (PM) and particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were measured continuously for 70 days at a Korean elementary school located near a highway. The $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, and $PM_1$ values were measured with a light-scattering, multi-channel, aerosol spectrometer (Grimm, Model 1.107). The number concentrations of the particles were measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer and counter (SMPS+C) which counted particles from 11.1 to 1083.3 nm classified in 44 channels. Particle-bound PAHs were measured with a direct reading, photoelectric aerosol sensor. The daily $NO_2$, $SO_2$, and CO concentrations were obtained from a national air-monitoring station located near the school. The average concentrations of $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, and $PM_1$ were 75.3, 59.3, and $52.1{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The average number concentration of the ultrafine particles (UFPs) was $46,307/cm^3$, and the averaged particle-bound PAHs concentration was $17.9ng/cm^3$ during the study period. The ambient UFP variation was strongly associated with traffic intensity, particularly peak concentrations during the traffic rush hours. Particles <100 nm corresponded to traffic-related pollutants, including PAHs. Additional longterm monitoring of ambient UFPs and high-resolution traffic measurements should be carried out in future studies. In addition, transient variations in the ambient particle concentration should be taken into consideration in epidemiology studies in order to examine the short-term health effects of urban UFPs.

고준위방사성폐기물 처분장의 완충재로 고려되고 있는 자연산 벤토나이트에 대해서 기존의 물리 화학적 및 광물학적 성질 외에 생물학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 국내산 '경주벤토나이트'를 대상으로 만든 현탁액을 영양배지 세럼병에서 일주일 이상 숙성시키며 시간에 따른 벤토나이트의 변화를 관찰하였다. 영양배지에서 활성화된 벤토나이트는 고체 시료뿐만 아니라 용액도 함께 변하였다. 용존황산염 수용액으로부터 검은색의 미립자 황화물이 생성되기 시작하였으며, 시료를 채취하여 배양한 결과 4 종류의 황산염환원박테리아(SRB)가 자체 생존하고 있음이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 벤토나이트 분말시료 내에 황산염환원(혹은 금속환원)박테리아가 고착 및 서식하고 있음을 말해주는 것으로, 이는 지하의 환원환경 조건하에서 완충재 내외부에 장기적으로 생지화학적 영향이 발현될 가능성이 있음을 의미한다.

성학대는 여러 종류의 아동학대 유형들 중 가장 심각한 정서적-인지-행동 상의 휴유증을 남긴다고 알려져 있다. 최근 $4{\sim}5$년간 아동과 청소년에 대한 성폭력과 성학대에 대한 사회적 관심이 국내에서도 크게 늘고 있고, 실제 임상에서도 성학대나 성폭력을 당한 소아-청소년을 자주 접하게 된다. 그러나 아직까지 이들에 대한 적절한 치료와 가이드를 제공하고 있지는 못하고 있는 것 같다. 이에 본 고에서는 성학대의 개념을 고찰하고, 정신병리로 연결되는 병태생리를 폭넓게 고찰하였으며, 성학대로 인한 단기 및 장기 휴유증에 대해 살펴보았고, 성학대 아동에 대한 적절한 초기치료전략과 현재까지의 치료결과에 대한 보고들을 종합하였다. 향후 성학대 및 성폭력에 희생된 아동과 그 부모를 위한 치료프로그램의 개발과 국가적 예방 및 치료사업에 소아-청소년 정신과 의사들의 적극적인 참여를 기대해 본다.
