Choi,Seong-kyu,Yun,Kyeong-Won,Chon,Sang-Uk,Seo,Young-nam 한국자원식물학회 2002 Plant Resources Vol.5 No.1

To develop an optimal storage method of root of Angelica acutiloba Radix, which has been grown as major herbal medicine material to be cultivated, root of Angelica acutiloba Radix, was stored for 10 months with different packing materials and sealing methods. The loss in dry weight as influenced by packing materials and sealing methods was the lowest at vacuum packing and followed by complete sealing methods with transparent polyethylene film. The ratio of root rot during the storage period was not significantly different between packing materials but was significantly different between sealing conditions. In conclusion, vacuum packing and complete sealing with polyethylene film appears to be most optimal for storage of Angelica acutiloba Radix.

These results suggest that leaf production of Angelica acutiloba can be maximized through PE tunnel cultivation system.

근대기의 경산화파 예운불화 연구

최성규 ( Choi Sung Kyu ) 한국종교문화연구소(종교문화비평학회) 2016 종교문화비평 Vol.30 No.30

예운상규는 경산화파의 화맥 안에서 전승되는 불화의 형식으로 작업에 임했으며 또한 전승시킨 불모(佛母)이다. 19세기 중반부터 전하고 있는 그의 불화는 1930년에까지 이르고 있다. 경산화파는 불모들의 계보 가운데 비교적 화맥이 잘 밝혀져 있고 전해지는 불화의 소재가 어느 정도 파악되어 그 특징을 살펴 볼 수 있다. 조선 후기에는 대부분 사찰 불화의 수요가 그 지방 승려들에 의해 충족되었고 이에 따라서 다양한 승려가 많이 모이는 대사찰 중심으로 배출된 화승들은 자신의 출신 사찰을 중심으로 인근지역 안에서 활동함으로써 지역에 따른 화사(畵師) 집단이 형성되었다. 이와 같은 화사 집단 가운데 서울·경기지역에서 활동한 화사들을 경성화파 또는 경산 화파라 부른다. 예운 불화는 조선 후기 서울·경기지역 불화와 같이 시대와 양식에 따라 분류할 수 있다. 18세기 초와 18세기 말~19세기 초, 19세기 말로 분류하는데, 현존하는 근대기 예 운의 불화는 도상과 표현기법에 있어 다양한 경향의 불화 제작과 새로운 문물의 유입을 통한 신경향의 불화를 남기고 있다. 근대기 예운의 불화의 상당수는 서양화의 명암법을 도입하고 있으며 스승인 응석 의 맥을 이어 새로운 도상과 구도법을 창안하였다. 서양화의 명암법을 적용해 그린 그의 불화들은 당시 후원자들로부터 상당히 인기가 있었던 듯하며 현재 전국에서 작품이 남 아 전한다. 예운은 전통 도상을 기반으로 일반 회화나 민화와 같은 각종의 회화자료, 그 리고 새로 유입된 외국의 인쇄물 등의 시각적 체험과 자료들, 당시의 풍물·풍속 등 새 로운 요소들을 수용하기 시작하는 등 끊임없이 변화를 주기위한 시도들을 하였다. 표충사 <삼세불도>처럼 원과 같은 기하학적 도형을 사용해 화면에 집중감을 주면 서도 때로는 수많은 권속들을 적절히 분류하고 구획하여 시각적 효과를 살린 불화들과 기존 불화의 구성요소들을 새롭게 재구성하거나 일부를 첨삭하는 등의 방법으로 주제를 강조한 불화들을 제작하였다. 화면분할식 불화와 함께 새로운 불화를 시도하려 했던 그의 창작 의도가 보다 명확하였다고 할 수 있다. 이와 같이 근대기 예운 불화의 의미는 화사의 창의성이 발현된 점이라고 할 수 있으며 이후 새롭게 만봉에 의해 전승이 되고 현재에까지 이어짐으로 해서 역사적 변천을 살필 수 있다는 점이 또한 중요하게 평가될 수 있는 것이다. Yeun Sang-kyu was a Buddhist painter, known as “Mother of Buddha Image Paintings(佛母)” who was inherited by Gyeongsan School and kept the tradition intact till 1930. His Buddhist Image paintings are handed down from the mid-19th century on and his painting styles and lineages are well known and even the painting materials he used are cleary identified. So much he is recognized as unique and distinctive. During the late Joseon Period, the Buddhist paintings in the temples are provided and enshrined by the local monk painters and the large temples have accordingly housed a group of monk painters in their own territories. This monk painters were eventually clustered with the painter groups. “The Gyeonseong or the Gyeongsan School” was one of the most active painter groups who got together in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. Yeun`s Buddhist paintings so far extant in terms of iconography or drawing skills reveals inheritances of various styles of the previous traditions; early and late 18th century, or early and late 19th century styles are included. Moreover, on top of those mixture of traditions, he added a new trend of paintings based on the up-coming new cultures. Even western painting skills of shading were imbued with his many a Buddhist paintings and his creative new form of icons and compositions are keenly felt the influences of his direct master Eungseok`s style. His new Buddhist depictions seem to be popular among the connoisseurs and the collectors so that his art objects are spread out through the country. He tried to explore the new experiments with the visual effects, the painting materials and even utilizing of the folk painting subjects. The “Samse-bul-do(三世佛圖)” of Pyochung temple is an example of the modern skills of paintings, quite differed to traditional ones; applying the geometric shape of circles in the screen, newly alloting the Bodhisattvas and the protective figures, reconfiguring the Buddha images, sectional division of the canvas, etc. Likewise, Yeun`s style changes in his extant paintings show us his creativity along with the modern tranformation of Korean Buddhism. And his legacy is handed down to Manbong, who is one of descents of Yeun and connected to today`s Buddhist painting traditions.

DEA를 이용한 여성복지서비스의 효율성 평가: 여성인력개발센터를 중심으로

성도경 ( Do Kyung Sung ),최인규 ( In Kyu Choi ) 대한정치학회 2009 大韓政治學會報 Vol.16 No.3

오늘날 여성경제활동에 대한 사회 정책적 관심이 증가하면서, 여성의 노동권 보장을 위한 다양한 복지정책지원에 주목하기 시작하였다. 이 시점에서 여성인력개발센터는 그간 여성의 능력개발 및 여성복지서비스에 대한 시대적 변화에 적극 대처함으로써 여성의 경제활동과 참여 증대에 기여해 온 점은 부인할 수 없는 사실이다. 그러나 최근 센터별 운영적인 측면과 서비스에 대한 효율적인 측면에서 여러 가지 문제점이 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구는 DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis), FDH(Free Disposal Hull), 기법을 이용하여 각 여성인력개발센터의 효율성을 실증적으로 비교·분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석지표로는 투입변수에 프로그램 개설수, 직원 수, 정부지원보조금율, 산출변수에 수료자 수, 취업자 수, 상담실적을 사용하였다. 분석결과 CCR모형의 효율성평가에서는 강북, 광진, 구로, 동대문, 인천, 울산, 성남, 강릉, 천안 등 9곳이 효율적인 센터로 나타났다. BCC분석에서는 21개 센터가 효율적인 센터로 나타났다. 또한 슬랙(slacks)값이 20%이상이 되는 각 기관들의 투입변수와 산출변수의 변화를 통해 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있는 방향을 살펴보았는데, 여성복지서비스의 개선을 위한 여성인력개발센터의 효율적 운영을 위해서는 교육프로그램의 질적 내실화, 인력의 충분성과 전문성 확보, 지방자치단체의 지원금의 재조정이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. As the increase of politic concern over the economic activity of women, it began to attract the need of various welfare policies to secure the woman`s labor right. In this respect, Woman Resources Development Center has contributed to the increase of women`s economic activities and participation. But, it shows a lot problems in the respect of operations and services. Therefore, this study empirically analyzed the efficacy of countrywide Woman Resources Development Centers using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) and FDH(Free Disposal Hull) methods. The number of programs, the number of employees, and subsidy from government were used as input variables, and the number completed the program, the number of employed worker, and results of consultation were used as output variables. The evaluation of efficacy by CCR model showed nine centers, such as Kang-book, Kwang-jin, Koo-ro, Dong-daemoon, Incheon, Ulsan, Sung-nam, Kang- reung, and Chun-an were efficient. The evaluation of efficacy by BCC model showed 21 centers were efficient. This study proposed that it needs qualitative improvement of education programs, secure of sufficiency and professionalization of woman power, resettlement of subsidy from local governments to improve the operation of Woman Resources Development Center.

Floristic characteristics of vascular plants and first distributional report of Pseudostellaria baekdusanensis M. Kim in Yongneup wetland protected area

Young-Chul Kim,Hyun-Hee Chae,Sang-Heock Oh,Seung-Ho Choi2,Moon-Pyo Hong3,Gi-Heum Nam,Jae-Yoon Choi,Hyun-Sook Choi,Kyu-Song Lee 한국환경생태학회 2015 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.29 No.2

Yongneup wetland protected area, the only high moor in Korea, is a core area to conserve biodiversity. Even though the Yongneup wetland protected area is relatively small, various plant species are distributed in the Yongneup wetland protected area because it includes various habitats showing different environmental gradients. Vascular plants distributed in the Yongneup wetland protected area were identified as a total of 376 taxa that is composed of 73 families, 217 genera, 322 species, 3 subspecies, 44 varieties and 7 forms. For endangered plants designated by the Ministry of Environment, 5 species including Trientalis europaea var. arctica, Lilium dauricum, Halenia corniculata, Lychnis wilfordii and Menyanthes trifoliata were found and 34 taxa were confirmed to be distributed only in the mountainous wetland habitats. Regarding naturalized plants, a total of 11 taxa were distributed, but most of them were distributed in the areas where artificial interference has occurred. And in areas inside the wetlands that are relatively well preserved, 2 species of Bidens frondosa and Erigeron annuus were observed. In this study, the occurrence and distribution of Pseudostellaria baekdusanensis M. Kim, which was recently found in Mt. Baekdu and reported as a new species, were identified in the Yongneup wetland protected area. A wetland is a very vulnerable area to drastic environmental changes and damages to its ecosystem could cause the extinction of rare plant species which are distributed only in the wetlands. Therefore, it is mandatory that current status of the Yongneup wetland protected area is evaluated and actions to prevent rapid environmental changes are taken. Fourteen separate investigations were conducted in 2013 and another four in 2014, to evaluate current status of the Yongneup wetland protected area. These investigations have provided us the basic information for future actions of conservation and restoration.

Comparison of the Thickness of the Neck Flexor Muscles of Subjects With and Without a Forward Head Posture on the Two Initial Head Positions During Cranio-Cervical Flexion Exercise

Sung hoon Jung,Oh yun Kwon,Kyu hwan Choi,Sung min Ha,Su jung Kim,In cheol Jeon,Ui jae Hwang 한국전문물리치료학회 2015 한국전문물리치료학회지 Vol.22 No.4

This study compared the effects of the initial head position (i.e., a HHP versus a relaxed head position) of subjects with and without a FHP on the thickness of the deep and superficial neck flexor muscles during CCF. The study recruited 6 subjects with a FHP and 10 subjects without a FHP. The subjects performed CCF in two different head positions: a HHP, with the head aligned so that the forehead and chin formed a horizontal line, and a relaxed head position (RHP), with the head aligned in a self-selected comfortable position. During the CCF exercise, the thickness of the longus colli (LCo) and the thickness of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) were recorded using ultrasonography. The thickness of each muscle was measured by Image J software. The statistical analysis was performed with a two-way mixed-model analysis of variance. The thickness of the SCM differed significantly (p<.05) between the subjects with and without FHP. According to a post hoc independent t-test, the change in thickness of the SCM increased significantly during CCF in the subjects with FHP while adopting a HHP compared to that in the subjects without FHP. The change in thickness of the SCM was not significantly different between the two positions in subjects without FHP, and there was no significant change in thickness of the LCo muscle during the CCF exercise according to the initial position in both subjects with and without FHP. The results suggest that CCF should be performed in RHP to minimize contraction of the SCM in subjects with a FHP.
