This study was carried out in order to investigate sterilization effect and to extend storage periods of the Rubus coreanus by treating with tap water (TW), electrolyzed water (EW) and aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$). After each treatment plot was soaked with 10, 50, 100, 200 ppm in each sterilizing solution within 30 sec, each treatment was compared during the storage time at room temperature and refrigerator temperature. As results of total plate count according to temperatures and periods, the microbial sterilizing power of each treatment plot was bigger at EW and $ClO_2$ treatment plots than the TW treatment plot; however, it sharply increased on the high concentration $ClO_2$ treatment plot. Futhermore, the cold storage treatment plot had more outstanding microbial sterilizing power than the room temperature treatment plot. As a result of observing the surface of the Rubus coreanus using scanning electron microscope (SEM), no microbe was seen in EW and $ClO_2$ treatment plot. The results of measuring enzyme activity showed a more significant decrease in EW and $ClO_2$ solutions treatment plot than TW treatment plot but gradually increased with time. The contents of total polyphenol revealed similar values on each treatment. The EW and $ClO_2$ treatment of the Rubus coreanus could be considered as good methods for inhibiting microbial growth in fresh vegetables and fruit, thereby contributing to quality maintenance.

Physicochemical quality characteristics of seed mashes were investigated for development of new creative breadmaking in bakery. Aridity of seed mashes fermented with Koji, lactic acid bacteria, and baker's yeast was slightly lower than those fermented with Koji and yeast. ${\alpha}-Amylase$, saccharifying amylase, and acidic protease activities of seed mash composed of water (560 mL) and Koji (400 g) were 0.26 SKB, 36 SP, and 645 HUT/g, respectively. Reducing sugar content of seed mash made with Koji increased up to 13.04% after 36 hr fermentation, then decreased drastically thereafter, whereas that of seed mashes made with Koji, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria increased up to 6.5% at 6 hr, decreased to 1 to 2.5% at 12 hr, and remained less than 0.7% after 18 hr fermentation. Total organic acid contents were 10.4-12.25mg/mL. Flavor compounds including ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, isoamyl acetate, and p-vinyl guaiacol were detected in seed mash fermented with Koji, yeast, and L. brevis. These results show use of seed mash fermented with Koji, S. cerevisiae, and lactic acid bacteria enhances bread flavor.

Kojongsi persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) is the major cultivar of dried persimmon in Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of water-soluble extracts from the calyx (PCE), peel (PPE) and leaf (PLE) of Kojongsi persimmon. PCE showed the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents. In addition, the antioxidant activities (diphenylpicrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), nitric oxide and reducing power) of PCE were higher than those of PPE and PLE. Moreover, PCE, PPE and PLE significantly suppressed the production of inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide and $prostaglandinE_2$) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ and interluekin-$1{\beta}$) by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. PCE showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, these results suggest that the calyx of Kojongsi persimmon may be highly valuable as a natural product owing to its high-quality functional components as well as its-antioxidant, ant-iinflammatory activities.

To develop natural flavoring substances, optimal hydrolysis conditions for two stage enzyme hydrolysates (TSEH) using small kingfish (Maegari) were investigated. The optimal conditions for TSEH were revealed in temperature at $50^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours digestion with alcalase (Aroase AP-10, pH 8.0) at the 1st stage and 2 hours digestion at $45^{\circ}C$ with neutrase (Pandidase NP-2, pH 6.0) at the 2nd stage. From the results in quality tests of water extracts, autolytic extracts and 4 kinds of enzyme hydrolysates, TSEH processing method was superior to other methods on the aspects of yield, nitrogen contents, taste such as umami intensity and inhibition of off-flavor formation, and transparency of extracts. We may conclude that TSEH from small kingfish was more flavorable compared with the conventional seasoning materials, it could be utilized as the seasoning substances for fisheries processing.

This study was conducted to derive consumption of persimmon by the expansion of utilization of the persimmon flesh and peel. The valuable components were investigated in persimmon flesh and peel. Crude protein and fat contents in persimmon peel were higher than flesh but soluble sugar was more higher in flesh (with 71.3%) than peel (with 54.2%). Major free sugar in persimmon peel were glucose and fructose, the composition was similar to flesh. Major total amino acids in persimmon peel were glutamic acid, proline, methionine and aspartic acid. Proline, arginine, valine and alanine were relatively high in free amino acid. Oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid were the major fatty acid in persimmon peel, and the content of unsaturated fatty acid was more higher than flesh. Sugar cookies were processed using persimmon flesh and peel, when these powder were mixed with $5{\sim}10%$ to raw materials, the preference score was increased. Steamed rice cakes with persimmon were processed using persimmon flesh and peel, when sliced-dried persimmon was mixed to $10{\sim}20%$, the preference was increased, but persimmon peel was not. The quality of gruel which processed using persimmon flesh powder improved when mixed with flesh powder of 3%, rice powder, glutinous rice powder and skimmed milk, but persimmon peel was not suitable for gruel processing.

This study was intended to measure the level of psychosocial stress among nurses working for a university hospital and to reveal its related factors. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 450 nurses during the period from October 1st to 31st, 2010. As a results, the level of psychosocial stress was 10.2% in normal group, 64.0% in potential stresses group, and 25.8% in high risk stress group. In correlation, psychosocial stress was positively correlated with job demand, but it was negatively correlated with job autonomy, supervisor and colleague support. For the results of hierarchial multiple regression analysis, the level of psychosocial stress was influenced by the variables of regular exercise, quality of sleep, subjective status of health, shift work, fit to the job, job demand, job autonomy and supervisor support. Especially, the psychosocial stress was higher related with the contents of job stress increased with explanatory powers of 18.1% on the psychosocial stress.

This work was conducted to study the use of L. acidophilus, which exists in humun intestine for the fermentation of Chinese cabbage kimchi. The changes in vitamins, the number of microflora and sensory quality were observed during fermentation after the microflora which was not related to kimchi fermentation was eliminated by treatment with ozone water or ozone gas. The growth rate of L. acidophilus in the cabbage juice was higher than that in MRS broth. The growth of L. acidophilus was slightly promoted by adding 1~2% hot pepper powder while that was inhibited by ginger and garlic. Therefore, it was shown that the regulation of fermentation was possible by addition of spices. The result of treating spice with ozone gas and ozone water 6mg/L/sec for 1 hour was that the survival ratio of total microflora was 6~20%. When L. acidophilus was added to materials after ozone treatment, the fermentation rate was improved and the polysaccharides in the cell wall were used when the usable free sugar was all consumed. The contents of vitamin B$_1$ and C in the ozone treated kimchi was higher than in the control.

In this study, we explored the application of Wasabi addition to baechu kimchi with regard to quality improvement, by reviewing the optimum Wasabi level and its effects on the product physicochemical characteristics during fermentation. The final weight percentages of Wasabi in the baechu kimchi were adjusted to 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5% per weight of baechu, respectively, and the samples were fermented for 35 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Following fermentation, the treatments over 3% Wasabi contained the highest pH and lowest total acidity values. Total vitamin C and reducing sugar content increased initially, up to certain fermentation times depending on the level of Wasabi contents within the treatments over 3% Wasabi, and decreased afterwards. The water soluble pectin content increased as the fermentation period increased; however, it decreased with increasing levels of Wasabi. In conclusion, the optimum levels of added Wasabi in the baechu kimchi were 3% and 5% per weight of baechu, to have a fermentation-retarding effect on the product.

The purpose of this study is to propose a Busan tourism industry in which the 2016 OECD Tourism policy and ICT convergence platform are applied. OECD proposed 3 policies to promote the tourism industry: First, to maintain the competitiveness of the tourism industry as well as improve its efficiency and sustainability, second, to establish a seamless traffic system, and third, to build a response to the sharing economy. Centering on the OECD's three policies, we propose the developmental possibilities of tourism in Busan. At the same time, we suggest the necessity to build an ICT convergence platform that will help foster the industry. In building an ICT convergence platform, we especially focus on the necessity of: 1. Sharing and creating experience-based interactive contents on the software side, and 2. Developing high quality user experience (UX) and providing a data analysis-based customized service on the hardware side. In addition, we insist on the establishment of the Tourism Promotion Agency for the continuous performance and management of Busan tourism industry. The study ultimately suggests that the construction of ICT convergence platform based on OECD tourism policy can result in the expected outcomes of high effects with low cost for both consumers and suppliers related to the tourism industry.

Schedule delays present a major risk factor, as they can adversely affect construction projects, such as through increasing construction costs, claims from a client, and/or a decrease in construction quality due to trims to stages to catch up on lost time. Risk management has been conducted according to the importance and priority of schedule delay risk, but quantification of risk on the depth of schedule delay tends to be inadequate due to limitations in data collection. Therefore, this research used the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) language model to convert the contents of aconstruction log, which comprised unstructured data, into WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)-based structured data, and to form a model of classification and quantification of risk. A process was applied to eight highway construction sites, and 75 cases of rain schedule delay risk were obtained from 8 out of 39 detailed work kinds. Through a K-S test, a significant probability distribution was derived for fourkinds of work, and the risk impact was compared. The process presented in this study can be used to derive various schedule delay risks in construction projects and to quantify their depth.
