Nine fish and one clam species were collected from freshwater environments in Korea, including four lakes, two streams, and the Nakdong River, to investigate the host-associated bacteria. Hundreds of bacterial strains were isolated from the samples using a cell sorter and a dilution plating method. After identification of the bacterial strains using 16S rRNA gene sequences, 42 strains with greater than 98.7% sequence similarity with validly published species were determined to be unrecorded bacterial species in Korea. These strains were phylogenetically diverse and assigned to four phyla, six classes, 17 orders, 27 families, and 32 genera. At the genus level, the unrecorded species were classified as Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Mycolicibacterium, Gordonia, Williamsia, Modestobacter, Brachybacterium, Sanquibacter, Arthrobacter, and Mycolicibacterium of the class Actinobacteria; Empedobacter, and Flavobacterium of the class Flavobacteriia; Fictibacillus, Psychrobacillus, Cohnella, Paenibacillus, Rummeliibacillus, Enterococcus, and Vagococcus of the class Bacilli; Aquamicrobium, Paracoccus, and Sphingomonas of the class Alphaproteobacteria; Achromobacter, Delftia, and Deefgea of the class Betaproteobacteria; and Aeromonas, Providencia, Yersinia, Marinomonas, Acinetobacter, and Pseudomonas of the class Gammaproteobacteria. The 42 unrecorded species were subjected to further taxonomic characterization using gram staining, cellular and colony morphological determination, biochemical analyses, and phylogenetic analyses. This paper provides detailed descriptions of the 42 previously unrecorded bacterial species.

본 연구는 여름철 장미의 수출 환경 조건에서 황금(Scutellaria baicalensis) 추출물(SC용액, 특허출원번호 10-2019-0109867)의 절화수명연장 효과를 확인하고 수입산 절화보존제의 대체 가능성을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 건식 및 습식 수송 조건으로 구분하고, 습식 수송 조건은 절화보존제 처리 유무와 종류 에 대한 비교분석을 위해 물(tap water), Floralife 1%, SC용 액 300mg･L-1를 처리하였다. 그 결과, 절화수명 연장에는 습식수송 조건에서 절화보존제를 사용하는 것이 유리하였다. 특히 황금추출물 SC용액 처리구의 절화수명은 수돗물(7.7일)보다 1.7일 연장되었으며, 이러한 효과는 수입산 절화보존제인 Floralife의 효과와 유사하였다. 절화수명 종료 증상은 건식 수송 조건 경우 화색의 퇴화 증상이 상대적으로 많았으며, 습식 수송 조건의 경우 일반적인 장미 절화의 노화 증상인 꽃목굽 음과 꽃잎마름 증상이 전체의 60~70%를 차지하였다. 결론적으로 여름철 장미의 수출 환경에서 SC용액은 절화수명을 효 과적으로 연장시킬 수 있었으며, 그 효과는 기존 절화보존제인 floralife와 유사하여 친환경 대체 절화 보존제로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the effects of heat-moisture treatment (boiling or steaming for 45 min) prior to hot air drying (70 o C for 8 h) on water activity (Aw), moisture (MC), Brix, color, and texture of dried sweet potato slices were investigated to identify the best pretreatment condition for producing dried sweet potato with the best eating quality. Dried sweet potato slices pretreated by boiling (BL) showed significantly lower Aw, MC, and hardness while Brix was significantly higher than with steaming (ST) treatment. There were no significant differences for the color, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness indexes. At 8 h drying, the Aw, MC, Brix, and hardness of the BL and ST samples were 0.81 and 0.82, 19.71% and 25.53%, 53.80% and 49.40%, and 20.49 kg/cm 2 and 31.98 kg/ cm 2 , respectively. This information will be useful for manufacturers in the production of dried sweet potato slices. These findings provide evidence of the feasibility of heat-moisture treatments in the production of dried sweet potato.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the current status and contents of color-related education programs as lifelong education and to determine the necessity of color education and directions for future development. The findings of this study, first show that the general welfare center, which is striving to develop abilities and promote welfare, was opened mainly for professional education, rather than hobbyoriented education. Accordingly, pricing was set at a lower level than the three institutions and centers, but without a variety of programs or hobby-oriented courses. Second, as the purpose of the set-up is to be established, the general welfare center should be considered an area for hobbies along with expertise, and various courses should be opened. Although the department store’s cultural center focused on programs for cultural and leisure use and promotion, it is necessary to extend the program to attempt to approach it in a short-term process rather than a one-time class. The lifelong education center established as a subsidiary of the university’ was opened as an area for of painting such as oil painting and watercolor and drawing which have much in common school should learn and start basic theory and practice, so there was much difference. Third, if it is changed to a developed form of color-oriented education according to the purpose of each center and institution presented in the results of this research, a good response will be possible to further improve the quality of life and develop professionalism and creativity.

The purpose of this study was to develop a workwear design that takes into account the characteristics of people with severe developmental disabilities who can engage in vocational activities. The aim was to identify needs according to the specific characteristics of people with severe disabilities to design work clothes and develop products according to universal design guidelines. This research method was conducted through representative interviews from a company employing people with severe disabilities in Daegu to determine the requirements for workers-related work clothes, and then applied universal design guidelines to perform appropriate design. The results of the study show that the hygiene and warmth of clothing are important for people with developmental disabilities. Therefore, the use of bright materials is required. Second, people with brain lesions often have low body temperature due to difficulties with blood circulation, for which warmth is a required factor. Third, people with severe developmental disabilities should not be differentiated in comparison to people without disabilities, therefore, it was important to use nondiscriminatory designs. Accordingly, it was more efficient to modify and supplement clothing designed for non-disabled people with hidden functions to suit specific characteristics, rather than to develop specialized clothing. These demands were found to conform to what is referred to as a universal design concept, through which three nondiscriminatory shirt designs and two easy-to-use pants were designed.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play essential roles in normal and pathophysiological function in liver. In steady state, HSCs contribute to retinoid storage, immune tolerance, and extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis. Upon liver injury, they become activated and lead to morphological and functional changes. Studies have demonstrated that activation of HSCs by various stimuli such as toxins, microbial infection, or metabolic overload can promote the fibrotic changes in liver by production of ECM. Herein, we provide current knowledge about the basic characteristics of HSCs and the mechanism by which they are activated.

Osteoarthritis is a disorder characterized by a loss of cartilage as common aging-associated disease in humans and animals. However, unlike human clinical trials, investigational studies in pet animals are constrained by a lack of interest and funds. In addition, pet owners would often prefer the lowest cost method to treat arthritis of pet animals. Here, we report the outstanding and inexpensive way to prepare chondrocytes for cartilage repair using rabbit adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This study focused on the development and enhancement of pre-chondrogenic condensation under external electric fields even without additional growth factors. We found that highly compact structures were formed within 3 days in micromass cultures of rabbit MSCs under electrical stimulation (ES), showing increased COL2A1 gene expression compared with their control 3D micromass cultures and 2D monolayer cultures. We further found that ES enhanced the production of proteoglycan, a highly produced extracellular matrix component in chondrocytes. Collectively, these results provide the commercial potential of electrical stimulation driving chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells for repair of cartilage, which is a budget-friendly regimen.

본 연구에서는 산학 연구로 제작된 게임 에디터를 (Game Editor, MakersLab)을 활용하여 실제 게임을 제작하는 학습을 통해 소프트웨어 교육에서의 학습 플랫폼의 중요도와 이에 따른 학습자들의 프로그래밍, 게임의 플레이 및 제작에 대한 인식 변화를 연구하고자 한다. 게임 플레이에는 익숙하지만 프로그래밍과 게임제작에는 경험이 없는 학습자들을 대상으로 게임 에디터를 학습 플렛폼으로 활용하여 프로그래밍 교육 및 게임제작 관련 수업을 진행 후, 학습자들을 대상으로 인터뷰 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 학습자들은 대부분 항목에서 '만족한다'는 의견이 지배적이었고, 게임이 제작되어지는 과정에 대해 체험한 것에 대해 흥미로웠다는 의견을 주었다. 하지만, 게임 제작을 처음 경험하는 학습자들에게 게임 에디터 플랫폼은 복잡한 인터페이스 및 기능으로 인해 조작의 어려움을 호소하기도 하였다. 게임 플레이 후, 직접 게임을 기획과 제작을 수행하고, 타 학습자와 서로의 게임에 대해 논의하는 과정 등은 어렵다고만 생각되는 소프트웨어 교육의 동기 부여와 흥미 유발을 위한 좋은 학습 재료로 활용될 수 있음을 본 연구에서는 확인 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of a web-based cost management competency enhancement program (Web-CMCEP) on nursing students. Medical services are limited and essential for maintenance of human basic life. In order to improve the quality of human life, cost management competency that enable efficient allocation of medical resources are essential. This study adopts a randomized controlled pre/post repeated measure design. The sample comprised 39 nursing students in the web-group and 35 in the textbook-group. Experimental group and control group learned respectively with Web- CMCEP and textbook for 4 weeks. The research variables were measured at 4 times: pre, post, after 4 weeks of intervention, and after 8 weeks of intervention. Data were analyzed using χ2 -test, t-test, paired t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, Friedman test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Significant differences were found in cost management knowledge. The web-group showed higher cost management knowledge than the text-group. At different measuring points, the Web-CMCEP led to significant increases in the following: cost management knowledge, cost management attitude, cost management behavior, cost management self-efficacy, and entrepreneurship. Based on the findings, we suggested utilizing the Web-CMCEP as a prototype in developing education programs to improve nursing students’ cost management competency and to support nursing start-ups.
