It was conducted to provide a basis for the development of healing programs utilizing the existing infrastructure of the rural education farm in the process of looking for early application plan of ‘Agro-healing’. The purpose of operating the farm was in order production･ process･sales and education, and then, healing. The production･process･sales was the highest (p=0.000). All farms have had signs or bulletin board, parking. Gender-separated toilets, and basin was held 90% or more. The farm which was held cultivation facilities for disabled in wheelchair was found to be 9.6%. Regular employee was minimum 1 people including owner up to 10 people, an average of 3.7 people were working, a welfare horticultural therapist is the highest as a retain qualification. The purpose of operating program in the farm was education, it was the highest. The most utilizing resources were agricultural work for operation the programs (p=0.000). The program was developed by owner themselves in the most of farms. Regular employment was found to be 6.7%. The age of participant was in order elementary schoolchild and then toddlers. Group form of visiting was school unit or work unit mostly. Target who needed help appeared to alcohol drug addicts and then handicapped, the number of people of participating at the same time was minimum 10 to 100 people. 79% of respondents had the intend of introducing healing program and transition to healing farm. Subject who respondents wanted to access for the next healing program was elementary schoolchild. Number of participants which respondents wanted as a group was 15. Most general people wanted the emotional experience which stimulated the emotion and mood such as positive emotions, joy, and pride. If we introduce the program for healing utilizing the infrastructure of the rural education farm, it might contribute to explore new spaces for creative agriculture and the early settlement of ‘Agro-healing’.

This study was conducted to understand the public recognition about the concepts and literary definition ‘curing, healing’ as a reporter for basic research to be able to use the meaning of the terms and terminology related to ‘agro-healing’. The public was aware that ‘curing’ and ‘healing’ are different, ‘healing’ is natural compared to ‘curing’, ‘do’ is for ‘curing’, ‘become’ is for ‘healing’. This is interpreted as ‘curing’ is active, ‘healing’ is ‘passive’ and natural processes manually. And also, ‘healing’ is required for those who do not have a problem and was recognized as priority access to psychological and social purposes. ‘Healing’ has the means to cure the sick and disease, and the target of ‘sick, disease’ include abstract and mental. It equals to literary definition. Based on these results, in order to promote the ‘agro-healing’ in Korea, it will have to go to find the direction focused on the psychological and social purpose to highlight the differences between the results obtained with the medical approach. This study looked at with meaning and usage of english vocabulary. The area which is discussed as ‘agro-healing’ in Korea is expressed as green care’, ‘care farming’, ‘green care farming’, ‘social farming’, etc. in Europe. There are presented translation of the term differently for each scholar, Rural Development Administration has proposed as ‘agro-healing’ in final. How to use the english vocabulary may not be considered, but to develop the ‘agro-healing’ as science, brand name and industry internationally, which english brand name will be used should also be important. When we saw the meaning of many english vocabulary, including usage and discussion, the word ‘healing’ which means the healing in humans is considered the best goal-oriented and well known term that reflects the current social trends. when combined ‘agri’ which means the ‘land’ comes from the Latin word as a expression that encompasses rural resources with ‘healing’, ‘agro-healing’, it could be used as english name which has comprehensive meaning that is healing and rural resource utilization through agriculture.

Lumbar puncture was performed on every case before administration of antibiotics. 37 cases (25.2%) were diagnosed as meningitis, who included 7 cases of bacterial meningitis (4.8%). When we compared meningitis group with non-meningitis group (110 patients), moaning was statistically higher in meningitis group. In a comparison of bacterial meningitis with aseptic meningitis (30 patients), grunting, fever peak on admission day and C-reactive protein were significantly higher in bacterial meningitis group.

The seasonal appearance and the chemical composition characteristics of cladode of Opuntia humifusa were investigated in this study. The minor (horizontal) and major (vertical) axes, the width, and weight of O. humifusa cladode were compared for its appearance features. Moisture, crude protein, ash, fat, color, dietary fiber, mineral, and amino acids contents were measured for the comparison of their chemical composition characteristics. The cladode of O. humifusa harvested in summer showed higher values of minor and major axis, width, and weight than those harvested in winter. According to the results of Hunter color index, cladode of O. humifusa harvested in summer showed the highest lightness level (Hunter L value). In the meanwhile, cladode of O. humifusa harvested in spring showed the highest Hunter a (redness) and b (yellowness) values. Cladode of O. humifusa harvested in summer had the lowest crude protein and crude fat contents, while it showed the highest crude ash content. The total contents of moisture and dietary fiber were significantly greater than summer-harvested cladode of O. humifusa followed by spring- and winter-harvested cladode of O. humifusa. The major mineral content of all seasonal cladode of O. humifusa was Ca2+. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid were the major amino acids in all seasonal samples. Contrary, the contents of total amino acids and free amino acids were the lowest in summer-harvested cladode of O. humifusa. Taken together, it was concluded that the appearance and chemical quality of cladode of O. humifusa was versatile depending on the harvesting season.

‘Jonathan’ apples are relatively small size which contributes to enhancing fruit consumption and gaining popularity. Thus, this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of AVG (aminoethoxyvinylglycine, ReTain®), sprayable 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene, HarvistaTM), and fumigation 1-MCP (SmartFreshTM) applications on fruit quality attributes and storability in ‘Jonathan’ apple fruits during cold-stored. The Jonathan fruits were dipped with either ReTain (75 mg/L) or Harvista (125 mg/L) solutions for 5 min, or fumigated with SmartFresh (1 mg/L) for 18 hr before storage at 0±1℃ for 75 days. Flesh firmness and titratable acidity remained higher in all pre-treated apples than control ones during cold storage period. Flesh firmness was higher for apples treated with ReTain and SmartFresh than samples treated with Harvista, while soluble solid content and respiration rate were not affected by sample pretreatment. Internal ethylene concentration (IEC) of all pretreated apples remained below about 4.5 μL/L during the entire storage period while that of control sample greatly increased to 10.29 μL/L. Ethylene production was much higher in control fruits than in treated ones during cold storage. These results indicated that ReTain and 1-MCP treatments would be considerably effective in retention of fruit quality attributes of ‘Jonathan’ apple during cold-stored.

Algal blooming in 4 major rivers introduces substantial impacts to water front activity. Concentrations of algae are increasing at major points along the Geum River. Ecosystem food webs can be affected by algal blooming because blue-green algae release toxic materials. Even though there have been many studies on blue-green algae, its causality to environmental factors has not been completely determined yet. This study analyzed the exclusive correlation between various hydrometeorological, water quality, and hydrologic variables and the cell number of cyanobacteria to understand causality of blue-green algae in the Geum River. A prewhitening process was introduced to remove the autocorrelation structure and periodicity, which is useful to evaluate the effective relationship between two time series.

This research is to conduct a survey on Plant Attitude Scale, Emotional Intelligence, Aggression Scale and Verbal Aggressiveness Scale of 540 elementary schoolchild and to analysis on credibility, descriptive statistics and correlation by SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Version 21. Both Plant Attitude Scale (Importance of plant, function of urban trees, interest on the plant, utilization of plant) and Emotional Intelligence (emotion recognition, empathy, emotion control ability) present significant correlation. The higher grade of plant attitude including higher emotional intelligence. in the entire of plant attitude, the most of subcategories of emotional intelligence indicate significant correlation. Importance of plant and interest on the plant has more significant correlation with emotional intelligence. As Plant Attitude Scale and Aggression Scale (physical aggression, anger, hostility) present the significant negative correlation, it shows that the higher plant attitude, the lower aggression. The plant attitude indicates very significant correlation between physical aggression and anger in physical aggression and anger as well as importance with plant. In case of function with urban trees, it shows the higher physical aggression, anger and interest on the plant, the lower physical aggression. While Plant Attitude Scale and Verbal Aggressiveness Scale (Swear, ridicule, taunt, threat, curse) present significant negative correlation, the higher plant attitude, the lower verbal aggressiveness. The plant attitude indicates that there is significant negative correlation in swear, ridicule, curse among the verbal aggressiveness. In the subordinate scope, especially in importance of plant, it shows significant difference that grade of sear gets lower as the higher swear and curse including case of swear, ridicule and function of urban trees and also there are higher points with sear, ridicule, curse and utilization of plant in case of interest on the plant.

Background: The biological activities of Tradescantia pallida grown in Korea have not been well determined, thus the aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using it as a medicinal plant. Methods and Results: To investigate the antioxidant activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory effect and antimicrobial activity of T. pallida, we performed the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and reducing power assay. This assay for T. pallida leaf extract showed the highest antioxidant activity for the ethyl acetate fraction (RC50= 14.55 ± 0.16㎍/㎖ and Abs = 0.613 at 300㎍). Further, the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited higher α-glucosidase inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 14.1 ± 0.1㎍/㎖ and showed antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria (minimum inhibitory concentration = 1,000㎍/㎖). Conclusions: The ethyl acetate fraction of the crude methanol extract of T. pallida showed remarkable antioxidant activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory effects and antimicrobial activity. These activities might be related to the flavonoid content in the T. pallida leaf extract.
