The Effect Of Top-Loading Washing Operational Setting On Microplastic Fibers Released From Cloth During The Washing Process And Filtered By Filter Cloth
Authors: Farid Muh , Sembiring Emenda
Published: January 2024

Microplastics have been commonly found in wastewater, especially from laundry waste and wastewater treatment. Efforts to prevent microplastics in domestic washing activities are important so that microplastics can be removed from the source. The washing machine filters can collect most of the microplastic fibers before the water reaches the WWTP. The research carried out aimed to determine the effect of washing machine spin speed, operation time, and the intensity of repeated washing of textile materials on the microplastics released during the washing process as well as the influence of filter cloth porosity, operation time, and the intensity of repeated washing of textile materials on the filter cloth's ability in the filtering process of microplastic. There are three main stages in this research, the preparation stage, the research stage which consists of running the reactor to identify microplastics released during the washing process, running the reactor to determine the ability of the filter cloth to filter microplastics, and identifying microplastics. The data generated from the test is analyzed using a regression multiple linear. The results of identifying the amount of microplastic released from all samples had an average concentration of 281.24 particles/L and the average amount of microplastic filtered by the filter cloth was 78.8 mg/cycle. Spin speed, operation time, and washing repetition intensity simultaneously influence the released microplastics by 93.5%. The size of the filter cloth mesh, operation time, and the intensity of repeated washing simultaneously influence the filtered microplastics by 86.4%.

Authors: Armadani Gracia Sarah , Kosandi Meidi
Published: January 2024

This study explores the implementation of the Navy's main weapon system modernization policy in the context of meeting the Minimum Essential Forces (MEF) Phase II for the 2015-2019 period, whose main focus is to overcome threats to national security. The purpose of the study is to explain the implementation process of the Navy's defense equipment modernization policy related to MEF and analyze policy factors that affect the results of its implementation. Using defense policy data and theory, the study identified obstacles such as budget constraints, differences in understanding between policy actors, less optimal supervision, and the role of the defense industry that has not been maximized. Document evaluation, interviews, and monitoring by defense experts show that the main constraint is not just related to limited resources, but rather to the imbalance of political will of policy actors. Consistency of implementation, commitment to transparency, accountability, and improvement of resource capabilities through priority scale and empowerment of the defense industry require the support of political will. The contribution of this research includes the development of political science, particularly in the context of defense and security politics. The results can be a reference for future researchers who are interested in understanding the issue of defense equipment modernization. The successful implementation of this policy is expected to have a significant impact on national defense and national security policies, with the support of political will identified as the main key to minimizing conflicts of interest and increasing the effectiveness of MEF implementation, maintaining national security.
The situation at the late-Silla period(下代) Paegang-jin(浿江鎭) and the nature of the artifacts excavated in Sanseong-ri, Pyeongsan
Authors:   Institute for Historical Studies at Chung-Ang University, Ko Taejin
Published: January 2024

This research aims to review the nature of the artifact assemblage excavated in Sanseong-ri, Pyeongsan, Hwanghae-do, and further to reappreciate the atmosphere in the frontier society during the late-Silla period(下代), under the consideration that textual and archaeologicaldata need to be understood along with each other.
The contexts surrounding the discovery of the assemblage can be found from the Japanese Government-General Museum of Korea document, which is now stored in the National Museum of Korea. Since the artifacts were discovered in a relatively shallow depth without any additional structures, it is unlikely that they were grave goods. The artifact assemblage is composed of decorative cup-shaped stirrups(壺鐙), flower-shaped bronze dishes, and bronze spoons, which are dated to the late 9th century CE.
To understand the spatial meaning of the site where the artifacts were discovered, how Paegang-jin(浿江鎭) operated during the late-Silla period deserves consideration. The reconstruction of how the appointment rule according to governmental rank system worked in the 9th century Paegang-jin regarding its head, Dusangdaegam(頭上大監), reveals that the royals were sent and the ministers corresponding to the rule were appointed here, and in this regard, it operated quite normally. In 895, however, as Gungye's advance into this region became active, Paegang-jin came to its end in no more than 10 years.
Recently, there is a strong trend to draw out ‘ritual meaning’ regarding the nature of the Sanseong-ri artifacts. However, it is still unclear what the ritual is, which required the sacrifice of the elaborately decorated artifacts in such a large amount. Therefore, until any additional contemporary data directly supporting the ‘ritual nature’ of the artifacts are presented, it would be reasonable to understand the Sanseong-ri artifacts as ‘hoards(退藏遺物)’, resulting from the political turmoil at the end of the 9th century.
In the 9th century, Paegang-jin enjoyed the flower-shaped bronze dishes of similar origin to Chinese imperial family’s as well as the decorative cup-shaped stirrups hardly found even near the capital. It is time to reconsider the frontier society during the late-Silla period and in this regard, the status of the Sanseong-ri artifacts is quite significant.

Dehydration is a common complaint in the pediatric emergency department. The treatment is typically focused on oral or intravenous rehydration with the goal of normalization of vital signs, primarily the heart rate but potentially also the blood pressure. The failure of routine therapy may lead to the consideration of other etiologies, including potential chronic conditions. We present a unique case of a twenty-three-month-old female who initially presented to the pediatric emergency department with signs of dehydration secondary to vomiting and diarrhea as well as tachycardia that did not improve with fluid resuscitation. Although physical examination findings were subtle, laboratory testing later confirmed the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis. She was started on treatment with atenolol and methimazole. This case describes thyroid disease in a young child without a history of maternal autoimmune illness, which is rarely diagnosed in the emergent department. Healthcare providers should be cognizant of the spectrum of clinical findings in pediatric hyperthyroidism, since the early recognition and treatment is crucial for improved outcomes with this life-threatening pediatric condition. We discuss the consequences of undiagnosed Grave’s disease and review common findings that can assist with early diagnosis in the emergency department.

Nowadays, technology has become the most important pillar in business management. The rapid development of technology has a significant impact on various aspects of business, from operational efficiency to marketing strategies. Applications are very important in a company or agency. With an information system, companies and agencies can easily guarantee the quality of information that will be presented for decision-making. Now, much information can be easily obtained quickly, thanks to information technology. The speed and accuracy of information delivery is a challenge for all producers in running their business. Boyer-Moore algorithm is one of the algorithms that can be used in the Barcode Generator application to scan barcode product serial numbers. The Boyer-Moore algorithm method functions to find sequence numbers. The development process requires several stages of investigation in the form of data collection techniques, problem identification, application of the Boyer-Moore algorithm, implementation, and system testing. This iterative process makes the application of string matching with the Boyer-Moore algorithm technique into a very accurate application suitable for text search. This process is done by giving a pattern to the text. Therefore, the final result of string matching text search using the Boyer-Moore algorithm technique requires nine iterations. In the 9th iteration, the text and pattern conditions are matched or sequential. From the results of the manual computational search analysis work of applying the Boyer Moore string matching algorithm, several stages of the process are made, namely iterations 1 to 9, as a search step to determine string matches. In addition, patterns can be used with the number of shifts of patterns or text up to 13 times.

Impact of Leader's Feminine and Masculine Character on Innovative Behavior of Employees
Authors:   The Women’s Studies Center, Jeong Yejee
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of both traditional masculine character and an emerging theme of feminine character of leaders on innovative behavior of employees in large corporations in Korea. This is because feminine character of a leader has been studied as a new paradigm recently, and may contribute to an organization’s high achievement, thus promoting soft power and innovation. At the same time, this study explored the mediating role of discriminatory treatment and diversity inclusion. This study surveyed 1,061 employees of 43 companies selected from Interbrand's Best Korea Brands. Results were as follows. First, feminine character of a leader significantly decreased discriminatory treatment and increased diversity acceptance while masculine character of a leader was only linked to high level of discriminatory treatment. Second, only diversity acceptance, not discriminatory treatment, had a significant and positive relationship with innovative behavior in a company. Finally, diversity acceptance played a full mediation role between feminine character of a leader and innovative behavior of employees, suggesting that feminine character of a leader and diversity acceptance in a company should be treated importantly.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on effective support for multicultural families by examining the social perception of multicultural families through big data. To achieve this purpose, raw data was collected with ‘multicultural families’ keywords based on the big data provided by TEXTOM. The data collection process included the 1st and 2nd data cleansing processes and converted them into a 1-mode matrix dataset to perform keyword network analysis. In addition, LDA(latent dirichlet allocation) topic modeling analysis, which automatically derives topics through machine learning analysis using algorithms, was performed. Results: The social perception of multicultural families was found to include information on stakeholder group, stakeholder, policy & administration, social response and academic interest. Also, as a result of the topic modeling analysis on multicultural families, three topics (request for regionally customized multicultural family support benefits, request for a socially customized multicultural family support program, and request for research to develop family-centered support measures for multicultural families) were derived. Based on these results, not only was it possible to identify various considerations for supporting multicultural families, but it is also expected to provide meaningful implications for the preparation of measures for effective multicultural family support.
A Study on Changam Park Man-hwan's Interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』
Authors:   The Women’s Studies Center, Kim Girim
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this article is to examine the patterns and significance of the interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』, a Chinese teaching book for women, written by Changam Park Man-hwan during the Enlightenment period. 『Yusisaseo』 is a book of instruction for women edited and annotated by Wang Sang during the Qing Dynasty in China. In 1907, Park Man-hwan translated and published it at Yeongjujeongsa. This paper studied the translation of Park Man-hwan's 『Yeosaseo』 and examined the publication process, the interpretation pattern, and its characteristics. We also looked at the meaning within the context of women's instruction books at the time. In 1907, Park Man-hwan interpreted 『Yeosaseo』 and received verification from Jeun woo. He published it with Yeosaseo with a preface written by Song Byeong-soon and an afterword written by Jeun woo. If you look at the system, the original Chinese text and the Korean translation of the language are placed separately. This method is different from the one that was translated into Korean during the Yeongjo period of the Joseon Dynasty and wrote the sound of Chinese characters. And Park Man-hwan selected only the exemplary deeds of women from the contents of the commentary and translated them into Korean. In particular, the annotations of 『Yeogye』『Naehun』『Yeo Analects』, which contain a lot of didactic content about women and behavioral norms that women should follow, were not explained at all. On the other hand, 『Yeobeomcheoprok』 explained the exemplary behavior of women in detail in the annotations, and Park Man-hwan faithfully explained this. In this way, Park Man-hwan tried to interpret 『Yeosaseo』 focusing on the exemplary examples of women and encourage women to use it as an example and put it into practice. During the Enlightenment period, the need for women's education was emphasized, and many textbooks teaching women were produced, and Park Man-hwan's interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』 was in line with this trend. In addition, women's loyalty and attitude toward the state and wages were emphasized as they recognized women as members of the state, and this trend is reflected in the women's guidebook, and Park Man-hwan's interpretation of the 『Yeosaseo』 focused on responding to social demands and expanding women's consciousness.

In earlier software development all processes were completed and implemented but now this is not a scenario. In the modern era, changes are frequent to any software product or module that is in a development phase, due to market competition's priority of requirement changes Because the traditional process models are incompatible with these changes, agile methodology is used instead.. The earlier waterfall model was convenient because of less requirement of features and the emergency of the application in a short period. This Paper Discusses the Comparative Analysis of the waterfall model and agile methodologies while agile methodologies are taking over, even though the waterfall model is older and time-consuming it is still used in many sectors The paper will help other software development process models. The agile method plays an important role in the areas of software project management, software schedule management, etc. The main aim of agile is Customer satisfaction as well as faster development with a low defect rate. This reflects the comparison of the agile processes with the waterfall model software development life cycle model. Agile processes are always beneficial; they have their own set of downsides. The agile method promotes continuous iteration of development and testing throughout the software.

There is a rich history of surgery for cardiac arrhythmias, spanning from atrial fibrillation and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome to inappropriate sinus tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia. This review describes the history of these operations, their evolution over time, and the current state of practice. We devote considerable time to the discussion of atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac arrhythmia addressed by surgeons. We discuss ablation of atrial fibrillation as a stand-alone operation and as a concomitant operation performed at the time of cardiac surgery. We also discuss the emergence of newer procedures to address atrial fibrillation in the past decade, such as the convergent procedure and totally thoracoscopic ablation, and their outcomes relative to historic approaches such as the Cox maze procedure.

Late-onset nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) as a result of inflammatory processes causing dacryostenosis is a common entity affecting mostly women. While a few mechanisms have been suggested as contributors to the expression of NLDO, the trigger for the inflammation remains mostly unknown. Familial predilection for this condition has not been previously reported. We present two families with multiple individuals affected with congenital or late-onset NLDO, describe the signs and symptoms of the affected individuals, and explore their medical history for any contributing factors. Family A, spanning four generations, included 7 female patients affected by late-onset NLDO. Family B, spanning two generations, included 8 individuals affected by either congenital or late-onset NLDO. This case series suggests a familial predisposition to NLDO, apparently with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular basis of this genetic predisposition.
