윤지영,김철홍,Yoon, Ji Young,Kim, Cheul Hong 대한치과마취과학회 2013 Journal of Dental Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Vol.13 No.4

Dexmedetomidine is a potent alpha-2-adrenergic agonist, more selective than clonidine, with widespread actions on the mammalian brain. A large body of recent work supports its analgesia and sympatholytic properties. Dexmedetomidine is a useful medication with many clinical applications. The medication has shown efficacy in decreasing the need for opioids, benzodiazepines, propofol, and other sedative medications. Dexmedetomidine has been used effectively for sedation during invasive procedures and in the ICU. Short-term sedation has been shown to be safe in studies, although hypotension and bradycardia are the most significant side effects. Dexmedetomidine is emerging as an effective therapeutic agent in the management of a wide range of clinical conditions with an efficacious, safe profile.

본 연구의 목적은 향후 푸드 서비스 산업의 전문 인력이 될 외식 급식 경영 전공 대학생들이 전공에 따른 직업 선택에 있어 중요하게 여기는 근로 가치관에 차이가 있는지 비교해 보고, 전공 관련 진로 및 푸드서비스 산업내 희망 직업 분야에 따른 차이도 함께 살펴보았다. 조사 결과, '지위 향상'(4.21)이 두 그룹 모두에서 가장 중요한 근로 가치관으로 나타났다. 외식경영 전공의 경우 '이타심'(3.74)이 가장 덜 중요한 근로 가치관으로 조사되었으며, 급식 경영 전공의 경우 '직무다양성에 따른 동기 부여'(3.79)에 가장 낮은 점수를 주었다. 두 그룹 모두 학년에 따라 근로 가치관의 중요성이 달라지는 것으로 나타났는데, 외식경영 전공은 '직무 안정성', 급식 경영 전공은 '경제적 보상 및 권한' 항목에서 저학년보다는 고학년이 더 중요하게 여기는 것으로 조사되었다 (p<0.05). 또한 희망하는 전공 관련 직무에 있어서 외식경영 전공의 경우 외식 종사원, 외식 창업, 외식 컨설턴트 사이의 근로 가치관의 중요성 인식에는 유의적 차이가 없었으나, 급식 경영 전공에서는 '직무 다양성에 따른 동기 부여' 항목에서 영양사를 원하는 학생(3.92)과 식품회사 종사원을 원하는 학생(3.67) 사이에 유의적 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 향후 직업을 얻고 싶은 관심 푸드 서비스 분야에 따른 근로 가치관 비교에 있어서는 외식경영 전공의 경우 파인다이닝 분야를 원하는 학생이 패스트푸드 서비스 분야를 원하는 학생보다 '만족 및 성취도' (p< 0.05)와 '이타심'(p<0.01)의 중요성을 유의적으로 높게 생각하는 것으로 조사되었다. 급식경영 전공의 경우 '만족 및 성취도'(p<0.05), '경제적 보상 및 권한'(p<0.001), '직무 다양성에 따른 동기 부여'(p<0.001) 항목에서 희망 푸드서비스 분야별로 근로 가치관에 대한 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 외식 급식전공 학생들의 교육에 있어서 외식 급식업 직무를 수행하는데 필요한 기술 이외에도 바람직한 근로 가치관을 형성할 수 있도록 지도하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 업계에는 미래의 종사원들의 근로 가치관을 정확히 파악하고 그들이 얻고자 하는 근로 가치를 성취할 수 있도록 조직 정책 및 문화를 형성하는데 필요한 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. The purpose of this study was to examine the work values of undergraduate-level foodservice major students. In order to assess work values of the participating students, this study adopted 'Maryland Work Values Inventory'. Data from a total of 290 surveys were collected. The participants consisted of 146 commercial foodservice major students and 144 institutional foodservice major students. Among the seven work values, both groups ranked 'job advancement' as the most important work value. Commercial foodservice major students rated 'altruism' as the least important work value, whereas it was 'stimulation' for institutional foodservice major students. 'Need for work' was evaluated statistically higher by junior and senior students compared to sophomore students of commercial foodservice major (p<0.05). In both foodservice majors, a positive relationship was found between work value scores and grade levels. All work value scores tended to be higher for students in higher grades. This tendency was especially statistically clear for the value 'need for work' for commercial foodservice major students and 'money and prestige' for institutional foodservice major students (p<0.05). There were some gaps in the work values between students with different career field choices. For the commercial foodservice majors, those interested in fine dining perceived 'satisfaction and accomplishment' and 'altruism' as more important [4.33 (p<0.05) and 4.05 (p<0.01), respectively] compared to students who had interests in fast food restaurants (4.06 and 3.67 respectively). Scores for 'satisfaction & accomplishment' (p<0.05), 'money & prestige' (p<0.001), and 'stimulation' (p<0.001) were significantly different among institutional foodservice major students. In addition, students more interested in industrial foodservice field regarded 'money & prestige' and 'stimulation' as less important as indicated by noticeably lower scores (3.74, 3.55 respectively) in comparison to the other group (p<0.001). The results of this study, which explored foodservice major students' work values, suggest that there is an increased need for the students to build up their work values as well as for the foodservice industry to offer appropriate work values to future foodservice employees.

A vasovagal reaction is defined as the 'development of hypotension and bradycardia associated with the typical clinical manifestations of pallor, sweating and weakness'. The most profound degree of vasovagal reaction results in fainting or syncope. Incidence of vasovagal reactions in the local anesthetic department of a dental hospital is around 2%. The pathophysiology of the hypotension/bradycardia reflex responsible for vasovagal syncope is not completely understood. Central as well as peripheral mechanisms have been implicated in its pathogenesis: however their relative contribution is not fully elucidated. Recently, trigeminocardiac reflex, previously known as oculocardiac reflex, may serve as syncope. The management of vasovagal syncope is evolving. Non-pharmacological treatment options are a fundamental first step of all treatment pathways. In this article, we would like to review new mechanism of vasovagal syncope and hope to be of help to manage the syncopal patients.

윤지영,고경석,유용재,전철민,김규범,Yoon, Ji-Young,Ko, Kyung-Seok,Yu, Yong-Jae,Chon, Chul-Min,Kim, Gyoo-Bum 대한자원환경지질학회 2010 자원환경지질 Vol.43 No.6

최근 들어 지질기원에 의해 발생되는 지하수내 비소오염이 많이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수내 비소를 효과적으로 제거하거 위하여 철침착 입상활성탄(Fe-GAC)을 제조하고 이에 대한 흡착능을 평가하였다. Fe-GAC는 질산 염철 용액으로 입상활성탄에 철화합물을 침착시켜 제조하였으며, 이를 이용하여 침착반응시간에 따른 등온흡착, pH에 따른 비소 동력학 흡착반응 및 수처리시스템 예비평가를 위한 칼럼 실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 침착반응 시간이 최소 12시간 이상에서 비소 제거에 필요한 철의 함량을 가진 Fe-GAC가 제조되었으며, 이들의 흡착능은 등온흡착실험에서도 확인되었다. 입상활성탄에 침착된 철화합물은 XRD 분석결과 대부분 질산염수산화철($Fe_4(OH)_{11}NO_3{\cdot}2H_20$)이었으나 일부 소량의 적철석($Fe_2O_3$)도 관찰되었다. 등온흡착실험은 Langmuir가 Freundlich 모델보다 더 적합하였으며, 모델링 결과 얻어진 Freundlich 분배계수($K_F$) 및 Langmuir 최대 흡착량($Q_m$)은 입상활성탄에 침착된 철 함량과 로그-로그 양의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 동력학 흡착실험 결과 pH 11을 제외한 모든 조건 (pH 4-9)에서 Fe-GAC는 비소에 대해 뛰어난 흡착능을 나타내었으며, 따라서 일반적인 지하수의 pH가 6-8 사이임을 고려하면 Fe-GAC는 비소를 흡착에 매우 효과적인 흡착제로 이용될 것이다. 동력학 모델링 결과 Fe-GAC와 비소의 흡착은 화학적 흡착(chemisorption) 과정을 나타내는 pseudo-second order 모델이 가장 적합하였다. 비소 수처리시스템에 대한 예비 평가를 위하여 칼럼실험을 수행한 결과, 지연계수 482.4이고 분배계수 581.1 L/mg으로 이는 12-24시간 침착반응에서 제조된 Fe-GAC의 Freundlich 등온흡착 모델의 분배계수(511.5-592.5 L/mg)와 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 지하수를 활용하는 마을상수도 수처리시스템에서 Fe-GAC가 지하수의 비소를 제거하는 뛰어난 흡여재로 사용될 수 있음을 나타내는 것이다. Recently it has been frequently reported arsenic contamination of geologic origin in groundwater. The iron-impregnated ranular activated carbon (Fe-GAC) was developed for effective removal of arsenic from groundwater n the study. Fe-GACs were prepared by impregnating iron compounds into a supporting medium (GAC) with 0.05 M iron nitrate solution. The materials were used in arsenic adsorption isotherm tests to know the effect of iron impregnation time, batch kinetic tests to understand the influence of pH, and column tests to evaluate for the preliminary operation of water treatment system. The results showed that the minimum twelve hours of impregnation time were required for making the Fe-GAC with sufficient iron content for arsenic removal, confirmed by a high arsenic adsorption capacity evaluated in the isotherm tests. Most of the impregnated iron compounds were iron hydroxynitrate $Fe_4(OH)_{11}NO_3{\cdot}2H_2O$ but a mall quantity of hematite was also identified in X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. The batch isotherms of Fe-GAC for arsenic adsorption were well explained by Langmuir than Freundlich model and the iron contents of Fe-GAC have positive linear correlations on logarithmic plots with Freundlich distribution coefficients ($K_F$ and Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities ($Q_m$. The results of kinetic experiments suggested hat Fe-GAC had he excellent arsenic adsorption capacities regardless of all pH conditions except for pH 11 and could be used a promising adsorbents for groundwater arsenic removal considering the general groundwater pH range of 6-8. The pseudo-second order model, based on the assumption that the ate-limiting step might be chemisorption, provided the best correlation of the kinetic experimental data and explained the arsenic adsorption system f Fe-GAC. The column test was conducted to valuate the feasibility of Fe-GAC use and the operation parameters in arsenic groundwater treatment system. The parameters obtained from the column test were the retardation actor of 482.4 and the distribution coefficient of 581.1 L/mg which were similar values of 511.5-592.5 L/mg acquired from Freundlich batch isotherm model. The results of this study suggested that Fe-GAC could be used as promising adsorbent of arsenic removal in a small groundwater supply system with water treatment facility.

용액성장법에 의한 SiC 단결정 성장은 Si 또는 Si-금속합금의 융액으로부터 SiC를 성장시키는 방법으로서, 통상의 상부종자 용액성장법(Top Seeded Solution Growth)에서는 Si 융액을 담는 흑연도가니로부터 C가 Si 융액에 용해되고 용해된 C이 상부에 위치한 종자결정으로 이동하여 종자결정상에 SiC 형태로 재결정화하는 단계를 거쳐 SiC의 단결정을 성장시키는 과정을 거치게 된다. SiC 용액성장에 있어서는 SiC의 단결정성장을 위하여 흑연도가니의 형상, 크기, 재질 및 상대적 위치 배열 등 온도제어와 유체흐름 제어를 위해 다양한 공정변수를 선정해야한다. 본 연구에서는 용액성장공정의 설계를 위해 상용의 유한요소해석 패키지인 COMSOL Multiphysics를 이용하여 전자기장해석, 열전달해석, 유체해석에 대한 다중물리해석모델을 구축하고 이 모델을 이용하여 결정성장공정을 설계하였다. 해석결과에 기초하여 2 inch off-axis 4H-SiC 단결정을 종자결정으로 적용하여 $1700^{\circ}C$에서 상부종자 용액성장법에 의하여 SiC 단결정을 성장시켰다. 광학현미경 및 고분해능 X선회절분석을 통해 결정성을 분석한 결과 해당 성장조건에서 양호한 품질의 단결정이 성장함을 확인하였다. 이로써 본 연구에서 구축된 다중물리해석모델이 SiC의 용액성장 공정설계에 유효함을 확인하였다. A top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) is a method of growing SiC single crystal from the Si melt dissolved the carbon. In this study, multiphysics modeling was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics, a commercialized finite element analysis package, to get analytic results about electromagnetic analysis, heat transfer and fluid flow in the Si melt. Experimental results showed good agreements with simulation data, which supports the validity of the simulation model. Based on the understanding about solution growth of SiC and our set-up, crystal growth was conducted on off-axis 4H-SiC seed crystal in the temperature range of $1600{\sim}1800^{\circ}C$. The grown layer showed good crystal quality confirmed with optical microscopy and high resolution X-ray diffraction, which also demonstrates the effectiveness of the multiphysics model to find a process condition of solution growth of SiC single crystal.

As food waste problems become more severe, the need for reduction plans is increasing. Thus, this study aimed to discover the attitudes towards and the intentions to reduce restaurant food waste as well as the importance of and intentions to participate in reduction plans among adults customers A self-administrated questionnaire was given to 361 adults (216 men and 145 women) over 20 years old residing in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. According to the results, the respondents regarded restaurant food waste problems as serious (4.01). The biggest reason for leaving food was concern about hygiene (3.57), followed by tasting food (3.34) and portions that were too large (3.10). 57.6% responded that they try to reduce food waste when dining out. Women over 30 admitted to leaving food when dining out if the food did not taste as expected, if they had health concerns about additives such as condiments, and for body weight management. The overall average degree of awareness on the gravity of restaurant food waste problems was 4.06, indicating that respondents deeply empathized with the matter. Women showed higher alertness compared to men, and respondents in their 30s or over did more than those in their 20s. Also, respondents who try to reduce food waste when dining out had higher levels of concern than those who did not. According to the results from measuring the importance of and intention to participate in restaurant food waste reduction plans, taking away left-over food was the best option. In short, citizenship improvement campaigns should be designed for restaurants and related organizations in order to stimulate the need and effects of efforts to reduce dine-out food waste and induce aggressive participation by consumers. Diverse methods to increase actual consumer participation in food waste reduction plans that show high consumer participation intentions also needs to be developed.

Purpose: Nerve conduction study (NCS) test is a standard diagnostic study of the tarsal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between the results of the NCS and postoperative clinical results. Materials and Methods: From June 2004 to July 2015, 104 patients were diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome and treated surgically. Of 104 patients diagnosed through NCS preoperatively and postoperatively, 41 patients were included in this study. There were 23 male and 18 female patients with mean age of 49.2 years old and the average follow-up period was 15.5 months. NCS, pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and subjective satisfaction were examined preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: On the preoperative NCS, 32 patients (78.0%) were positive and 9 patients (22.0%) were negative, and 32 positive NCS patients consisted of 9 positive (28.1%), 16 improved (50.0%), and 7 negative (21.9%) postoperatively. VAS score was 7.4 preoperatively and 4.4 postoperatively. According to satisfaction, there were 8 excellent (19.5%), 21 good (51.2%), 6 fair (14.6%), and 6 poor (14.6%) patients. For 32 patients who were positive on the preoperative NCS, the postoperative VAS score was 4.87 and there were 7 excellent (21.9%), 16 good (50.0%), 4 fair (12.5%), and 5 poor (15.6%) patients. Sixteen patients were negative on the postoperative NCS, with a VAS score of 3.75, 1 excellent (6.3%), 11 good (68.8%), 2 fair (12.5%), and 2 poor (12.5%). There was no statistical correlation between the preoperative NCS and postoperative VAS score (p=0.10), between preoperative NCS and postoperative satisfaction (p=0.799), between preoperative NCS and postoperative VAS score (p=0.487), and between postoperative NCS and postoperative satisfaction (p=0.251). Conclusion: For patients diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome and treated surgically, NCS showed little correlation with postoperative result.
