본 연구의 목적은 노년기 주관적 연령(스스로를 노인 혹은 비(非)노인으로 인지하는지 여부)과 건강노화와의 관계를 연령집단에 따라 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 2014년 노인실태조사 대상자 중 연소노인(65~74세)과 고령노인(75~84세)을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 연구의 주목적인 주관적 연령과 건강노화 간의 관련성을 검증하기 위해 연소노인 및 고령노인 집단별로 다중회귀분석(multiple regression analysis)을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 주관적 연령과 건강노화의 관계는 연령집단별로 다른 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 연소노인에서 주관적 연령이 비(非)노인인 경우, 높은 수준의 인지기능과 적은 만성질환 수, 낮은 수준의 우울, 그리고 높은 수준의 사회활동 참여를 보이는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 반면, 고령노인인 경우 주관적 연령은 인지기능을 제외하고 건강노화의 다른 세 요소와 유의미한 관련이 없었다. 본 연구는 주관적 연령을 건강노화의 새로운 고려요소로 제시하여, 두 요소의 관련성을 통합적인 차원에서 살펴보았다는 의의가 있다. 또한 노인을 연령대에 따라 구별된 집단으로 살펴봄으로써, 주관적 연령과 건강노화의 연관성이 연령집단마다 상이한 양상을 보임을 밝혔다는 의의를 가진다. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between subjective age (whether one subjectively perceives himself as `the elderly` or `not the elderly`) and healthy aging. Using data from the 2014 National Elderly Survey (KIHASA), this study selected a total of 9,653 participants consisting of young-olds (aged 65-74) and old-olds (aged 75-84) For both the young-old and the old-old, multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the research model. In the young-old population, one`s considering oneself as “non-elderly” was significantly associated with higher cognitive functioning, fewer chronic diseases, lower depressive symptoms, and higher level of social engagement. On the other hand, in the old-old population, one`s considering oneself as “non-elderly” was associated only with higher cognitive functioning, and not with the other domains of healthy aging. The findings suggest that subjective age can be considered as an important predictors of older adults` healthy aging. These findings indicate that the association between subjective age and healthy aging has a different pattern depending on the age group.

Population Dynamics of Zacco platypus in Gap-Stream and Its Relation with Water Quality

Shin, Young-Eun,Choi, Ji-Woon,An, Kwang-Guk The Korean Society of Limnology 2009 생태와 환경 Vol.38 No.1

This study was to provide basic data for aquatic ecosystem research using fishes. Field sampling was carried out at five selected sites of Gap Stream, and fish samples, especially for a selection of sentinel species were collected three times in June, September, and October 2007. We analyzed total length distribution of Zacco platypus in relation with the season and the sampling sites, and then compared with total body weight, condition factor (K), and age distribution of the fish. The fish population data were compared with physico-chemical water quality, obtained from the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Water quality analysis showed a significant nutrient enrichment, based on total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), and organic matter pollution, based on biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the Site 5, which is directly influenced by wastewater disposal plant (WDP). Population analysis of the sentinel species showed that the total number of individuals, age distribution, and the population size-structure were influenced by the effluents from the WDP, and that reproductive failure of young-age population were evident in Site 5. According to the relation analysis of total weight to K, the disturbed population was mainly attributed to combined effects of habitat modifications and chemical degradations. Regression analysis of K values against water quality parameters showed significant (p<0.05) positive relations with nutrient and organic matter contents. Our data suggest that the population structure using a sentinel fish species reflected the ambient water quality in the stream and that diagnosis of aquatic ecosystem health using Z. platypus population may be practical for water resource and ecosystem conservations.

Quantitative Analysis on Air-Dispensing Parameters for Manufacturing Dome Lenses of Chip-on-Board LED System

Jeon, Eun-Chae,Lee, Je-Ryung,Je, Tae-Jin,Choi, Doo-Sun,Ham, Young-Bog,Lee, Eung-Sug,Choi, Sang-Kyu,Kim, Hwi Korean Society for Precision Engineering 2014 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.15 No.11

A COB(chip-on-board) LED(light emitting diode) system has advantages such as low cost and good heat dissipation. LED chips are bonded on PCB(printed circuit board) directly without packaging process in case of COB LED systems. Dome lenses made of polymeric resin are generally covered on the bonded LED chips by air dispensing for preventing mechanical damage and making white light. However, it is hard to control the shape of dome lenses precisely due to viscosity of the polymeric resin. We analyzed the relationship of the shape of dome lenses and experimental conditions of the air dispensing in this study. We introduced a new parameter, air pressure * dispensing time, whose physical meaning is impulse per unit area, and obtained much clear relationship of dispensing parameters and shape parameters of the dome lens. This relationship was similar to viscoelastic behavior. The aspect ratio (height over diameter) was increased as the new parameter increased, and was converged to a certain value. The maximum aspect ratio could be calculated by Young's equation of contact angle.

영화 〈여판사〉를 통해 본 소문의 서사화 과정

최은영(Choi, Eun-Young) 인문콘텐츠학회 2021 인문콘텐츠 Vol.- No.60

이 논문은 우리나라 최초의 여판사 ‘황윤석’ 변사 사건이라는 실제 사건과 소문을 모티브로 한 영화 〈여판사〉(홍은원, 1962)의 서사화 과정을 고찰한 논문이다. 이 사건은 사건의 발생 단계에서는 자살이냐, 타살이냐 하는 죽음의 원인을 밝히는 것에 대중의 관심이 집중되어 있었다. 그러나 점차 사건의 원인을 여성의 사회 진출에서 발생하는 가정 내 갈등으로 추측하는 소문으로 서사가 재구성되었다. 소문을 전유한 영화 〈여판사〉는 가정 내 갈등을 드러내는 ‘폭로의 서사’가 아닌 ‘해결의 서사’로 구성되면서 서사의 비대칭성을 보인다. 소문과 영화의 가장 큰 변별점은 실제 사건과 소문에서는 죽은 ‘여판사’가 영화에서는 살아서 직접 사건을 해결함으로써 사건의 피해자가 아닌 해결자의 역할을 수행한다는 점이다. 이는 실제 사건에서 소거된 피해 당사자의 목소리를 법정이라는 공적인 장소에서 발화하게 하여 가족갈등을 법정이라는 공론화 장으로 끌어들인다. 이처럼 영화 <여판사>가 소문을 영화화하는 과정은 여판사의 죽음을 대중의 흥밋거리가 아닌, 사회문제로 인식하게 하면서 1960년대 여성의 사회진출에 대한 가능성과 불안을 반영하고 있다. 〈여판사〉의 서사화 과정은 실제 사건의 콘텐츠 기획 단계에서 실제 사건과 영화 서사의 유사성에 주목하기 보다는 그 과정에서 의미를 끌어내는 방식에 따라 서사를 재구성하는 것이 필요하다는 점을 보여준다. This study examines the narrative process of the movie 〈Woman Judge〉 (Hong Eun-won, 1962) based on the actual events and rumors of the Hwang Yun-seok, the first woman judge in Korea. The case was initially focused on revealing the cause of death, whether suicide or murder. However, as the incident gradually spread to rumors, the narrative was reconstructed as the cause of events such as conflict within the family arising from women"s advancement into society. The film, which is based on the narrative of rumors, consists of a narrative of solution, not a narrative that exposes conflict within the family. The biggest distinction between rumors and film is that in actual cases and rumors, the dead ‘woman judge’ lives and solves the case directly in the movie, thereby playing the role of a solver, not a victim of the case. This causes the voice of the victim, cleared from the actual event, to be utterance spoken in a public place called the court. The asymmetry of the narrative, which appeared in the film 〈Woman Judge〉 suggests a new type of woman legal person character as a solver, not a victim.

다중 쓰레드 기반의 병렬처리서버용 안티바이러스 엔진

악성코드에 대한 보다 바람직한 예방은 클라이언트측이 아닌 서버측에서 이루어지는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 개념 의 서버용 안티바이러스 엔진인 SAVE 1.0을 설계 구현하여 제시한다. SAVE는 기본적으로 1개의 AV모니터와 다수의 AV에이전트로 구성되어 있는데 다중 CPU를 장착한 병렬처리서버의 특징을 직접 활용하기 위하여 관리자가 다중쓰레드 기법을 직접 지정할 수 있도록 하고 있다 악성코드를 5가지 부류로 구분하여 바이러스 시그너쳐 DB를 구축 제공함으로써 부류별 진단을 지정할 수 있도록 하고 있으며 실시간 네트워크 패킷 검사를 통한 악성코드 유입 점검 기능도 제공한다. 웹 기반의 관리자 인터페이스는 뛰어난 사용자 편의성을 제공하고 있다. 성능실험결과 악성코드 검색율은 국내외 상용제품과 비교해서 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 검색속도에 있어서도 서버의 CPU 수 증가에 거의 선형 비례하여 향상되는 특징을 보이고 있다. It is more desirable to prevent and detect the malicious codes in server system rather than in client PCs. In this paper, we suggest a new anti-virus engine, SAVE 1.0, which is executed on a parallel processing server. SAVE consists of 1 AV monitor and several AV agents. A system administrator can control the degree of multi-thread directly in order to enhance the utilization of parallel processing servers. Virus signature DBs in SAVE are classified into 5 categories, which support system administrator's options to use the classifier or not. By real-time checking of network packets, the influx of malicious codes can be prevented. Web-based GUI is one of the convenient functions provided in SAVE. In performance tests, we have confirmed that SAVE has higher virus detection ratio than any other AV engine, and SAVE has a desirable feature as an software of parallel processing servers since the performance of SAVE is improved almost linearly as the CPUs in a parallel processing server increases.

One step bulk modification of poly(L-lactic acid) composites with functional additives to improve mechanical and biological properties for cardiovascular implant applications

Kang, Eun Young,Choi, Bogyu,Park, Wooram,Kim, Ik Hwan,Han, Dong Keun Elsevier 2019 Colloids and Surfaces B Vol.179 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) has been widely used as a promising biomaterial in biomedical applications due to its biodegradability and high mechanical strength. However, because of the inherent brittleness, low impact resistance, and weak thermal stability of PLLA, the modification process is usually required to utilize it for biomedical devices. Furthermore, acidic byproducts resulting from the hydrolysis of PLLA after implantation reduce the pH of the surrounding environment and cause inflammatory responses in the implanted area, leading to the failure of their clinical applications. To this end, here, we demonstrate a novel modification process for the PLLA composite with various functional additives, such as cis-aconitic anhydride (AA), triacetin (TA), isosorbide derivative (ISB), and/or Pluronic® F127 (F). The modified PLLA composite with TA and F (PLLA/TF) showed significantly improved elongation at break and Young’s modulus and retained tensile strength. Moreover, incorporating magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles (PLLA/TFMH) significantly reduced acid-induced inflammation responses caused by the acidic degradation products of PLLA. Reduced plasma protein adsorption was observed in the PLLA/TFMH. These results suggest that the one step bulk modification of biodegradable PLLA using TA, F, and MH will have great potential in cardiovascular implant applications.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Improved mechanical properties of PLLA via one step bulk modification with TA and F. </LI> <LI> Reduced acid-induced inflammation via one step bulk modification of PLLA/TF with MH. </LI> <LI> Increased homogeneity of MH distribution in one step bulk modified PLLA/TFMH. </LI> <LI> Enhanced hemocompatibility of PLLA/TFMH. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

전은애(Eun Ae Chun),손영호(Young Ho Shon),백승재(Seung Jae Baek),이필휴(Phil Hyu Lee),남정모(Chung Mo Nam),이지은(Ji Eun Lee),최예린(Yaelin Choi) 한국언어청각임상학회 2010 Communication Sciences and Disorders Vol.15 No.4

배경 및 목적: 파킨슨병은 호흡과 발성에 영향을 준다. 49세 이전에 발병하는 조기발병형 파킨슨병(young-onset parkinson’s disease: YOPD, 이하 YOPD)도 호흡과 발성에 문제가 있는지 보기 위해 정상군과 비교하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 파킨슨병 환자의 음성에 관한 연구는 있었지만 YOPD 환자의 음성특성에 대한 호흡과 발성 기능에 대해서 연구된 선행연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 방법: YOPD 환자군 6명과 빈도대응 시킨 정상군 6명을 대상으로 호흡기능 평가를 위하여 MicroQuarkⓇ를 이용하여 노력성 폐활량(forced vital capacity: FVC, 이하 FVC), 1초간 노력성 호기량(forced expiratory volume at one second: FEV1, 이하 FEV1)과 1초간 노력성 호기량의 노력성 폐활량에 대한 비(이하 FEV1/FVC)를, 음향학적인 평가를 위하여 Multi-Dimentional Voice Program(이하 MDVP)를 이용하여 주기간 주파수 변동률 (이하 jitter)과 주기간 진폭 변동률(이하 shimmer)을, 공기역학적인 평가를 위하여 Phonatory Aerodynamic System(이하 PAS)를 이용하여 평균호기류율(mean airflow rate: MFR, 이하 MFR)과 성문하압(subglottal pressure: Psub, 이하 Psub)을, MDVP를 이용하여 최대발성지속시간(maximum phonation time: MPT, 이하 MPT)을 측정하고 분석하였다. 이비인후과 전문의사가 후두 스트로보스코피(stroboscopy)를 통해 후두의 병리 유무를 평가하였다. 두 집단의 호흡기능, 발성기능의 차이는 맨-휘트니 U검정(Mann-Whitney U-test)을 실시했다. 결과: MPT는 YOPD 환자군에 비하여 정상군이 통계적으로 유의하게 길었고, jitter와 shimmer는 정상군에 비하여 YOPD 환자군이 통계적으로 유의하게 컸다. 그러나 두 군간의 FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MFR, Psub은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 논의 및 결론: 두 집단 간의 호흡기능에서 차이가 없고 YOPD의 MPT, jitter, shimmer가 정상범주를 벗어나 차이가 있다. 이들 변수들이 YOPD의 음성적 진단, 치료계획과 예후를 판단하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 ‘연령’이라는 혼란변수를 배제하고 파킨슨병의 음성 특성을 규명 하는데 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. Background & Objectives: Parkinson’s disease affects respiration as well as phonation. Young-onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD) can occur even before the age of 49 years. The present study selected YOPD patients in such a manner as to exclude the confounding variable of ‘age’ and thus examine the vocal characteristics of Parkinson’s disease solely. We aimed to compare the respiration function and phonation characteristics of these YOPD patients with a normal group. Methods: The present study’s subjects included a YOPD group comprised of 6 patients whose chronological ages were between 38 and 49 years and onset ages were prior to 49 years, and a normal group comprised of 6 subjects selected by frequency-matching. For testing respiration function, FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were measured using Cosmed’s MicroQuarkⓇ as a basic test for the ventilation function of the lung. For vocal sampling, the Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP) and the Advanced Model 5105 of KayPENTAX’s Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) Model 4400 were used to analyze maximum phonation time (MPT), jitter, and shimmer. Additionally, KayPENTAX’s Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) 4500 was utilized to analyze mean air flow rate (MFR) and subglottal pressure (Psub). Otolaryngologists and neurologists participated in the research cooperatively, and the otolaryngologists assessed the presence of laryngeal disease directly through larynx stroboscopy in the all subject. Mann-Whitney’s U test was used to analyze the difference between the 2 groups’ respiration and phonation function. Results: The MPT was longer in the normal group than YOPD patient group, and both jitter and shimmer were larger in the YOPD patient group than the normal group; both of these differences were statistically significant. However, there was no statistically significant difference in FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MFR, and Psub. Discussion & Conclusion: The 2 groups’ respiration function did not differ, and YOPD patients’ MPT, jitter, and shimmer differed beyond the normal range. Thus, these variables will help in YOPD patients’ phonation diagnosis and therapeutic plans or prognosis. Although there have been studies on the phonation of Parkinson’s disease patients, limited advanced research can be found on the respiration and phonation function of YOPD patients’ vocal characteristics. The results of this study are meaningful and provide a better understanding of Parkinson’s disease because the subjects were selected such that confounding by age was avoided.
