한우 개량에 있어서 추정된 유전체육종가와 정확도는 선발에 중요한 지표로 사용되며, 최근 육종가 추정에 있어 정확도의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해 혈통과 유전체정보를 이용한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 가계 내 유전체정보량에 따라 유전체정보가 미포함된 개체의 정확도 변화를 확인하고자 동일한 부모를 가진 한우 10두로 구성된 전형매 가계 3개를 수집하였으며, 각 가계 별로 유전체정보량을 10두, 8두, 6두, 4두, 2두씩 무작위로 선별하여 5가지의 검정집단으로 가정한 후 참조집단 14,225두를 이용하여 single step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP)을 통해 genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) 및 정확도를 추정하였다. 각 검정집단과 참조집단의 혈통 및 유전체정보 를 이용하여 H-matrix를 구축하였고, BLUPF90 program을 사용하여 도체중, 등심단면적, 등지방두께, 근내지방도의 GEBV 및 정확도를 추정하였 다. 첫 번째 가계를 대상으로 살펴보면, 검정집단에서 유전체정보를 보유하고 있는 10두의 GEBV 평균 정확도는 도체중 0.734, 등심단면적 0.717, 등지방두께 0.712, 근내지방도 0.745로 추정되었다. 이후 2두씩 무작위로 유전체정보를 제거하여 추정한 GEBV 정확도를 살펴보면, 유전체정보를 보유한 개체의 경우 정확도의 변화가 나타나지 않았지만, 유전체정보가 미포함된 개체의 정확도가 평균 0.114 ~ 0.168 낮게 추정되었다. 가계 내 유전체정보량에 따른 유전체정보가 미포함된 개체의 GEBV 평균 정확도는 도체중 0.604 ~ 0.576, 등심단면적 0.6 ~ 0.573, 등지방두께 0.599 ~ 0.572, 근내지방도 0.607 ~ 0.578로 평균 0.009씩 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 가계 내 유전체정보량이 개체 별 유전체정보 유무와는 상관없이 GEBV의 정확도 추정에 큰 영향이 없었으며, 신뢰도가 높은 GEBV 추정을 위해서는 개체 별 유전체정보의 유무가 더 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다.

Some behaviors of pigs that are not expressed in the wild state or are observed in a small minority of individuals after groups of pigs are mixed have been reported to indicate poor welfare. A GWAS analysis was performed by measuring the frequency and duration of the four ethological traits and using the mlma command provided by the genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA). The positional candidate genes on significantly identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were identified by using the dbSNP provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). When the GWAS analysis was applied the 43,565 (of the purebred Landrace population) and 41,700 (of the purebred Yorkshire population) SNP markers, 1, 2, and 1 significant SNP markers were identified for the traits of feeding frequency (LOC110262254), locomotion time (LOC110260361), and locomotion frequency (LOC110260361) of the purebred Landrace population, respectively. Meanwhile, 1 and 7 significant SNP markers were identified for the traits of drinking time (LOC 110260090) and feeding frequency (MAP3K19; LOC110257013; ACMSD; TMEM163; RAB3GAP1) of the purebred Yorkshire population, respectively. The results of this study may suggest that the GWAS analysis of the ethological traits of purebred Landrace and Yorkshire populations could be used to perform a GWAS analysis on non-economic traits, and the results can thus be provided as basic data for GWAS analyses of other non-economic traits in the future.

By using the methodological framework of conversation analysis, this study combines a grounded study of interactional linguistics focusing on L2 speakers' interactional competence in the use of Korean sentence-ending suffix -ketun. Based on the previous studies which examined the use of -ketun in L1 Korean speakers’ conversation, this study analyzes data taken from different levels of Korean language classroom interactions, with close attention to the learner's usage of the target suffix in formulating a dispreferred response. The findings of the study demonstrate that the L2 advanced students' use of -ketun is much closer to that for L1 speakers in constituting a dispreferred response while claiming epistemic primacy. On the other hand, extremely low frequency in the use of -ketun is a distinctive linguistic-pragmatic features that characterizes use of -ketun by L2 speakers at lower levels of competence. The advanced students' diversification may be an indicator of their more adaptive, context-sensitive conduct, suggesting an increased interactional competence. Close scrutiny of the use of -ketun in this study aids to reveal whether and to what extent its interactional use by L2 speakers of different proficiency levels approaches that of L1 speakers.

In order to investigate the effects of 70% EtOH extract obtained from Hovenia dulcis Thunberg on enzymes relating reactive oxygen intermediate, cancer-stricken animals induced by DEN (N, N diethylnitrosamine) were recovered by administering the extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunberg. It showed that there was no effect on the generation of superoxide radical by the extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunberg. However, considering the increase of the activity of Cu, Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD in the tested animal class, the extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunberg could participate directly in removing of superoxides. The experimented-animals treated with the extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunberg showed an increase in the activity of the enzymes, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, which can eliminate hydrogen peroxide pertained in liver tissue. The extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunberg seemed to have some factors that accelerate the oxidation. Also, the extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunberg showed effects on the enzymes relating to the active oxygen toxicity which could be an indicator of aging and body toxicity.

This study was performed to investigate the utilization of waste concretes for neutralization and removal of heavy metals in plating wastewater, because waste concretes have been known to be very porous, to have high specific surface area and to have alkaline minerals such as calcium. The results obtained from this research showed that waste concretes had a buffer capacity to neutralize an acidic alkali system in plating wastewater. Generally, neutralization and removal rate of heavy metals were excellent in the increase of waste concrete amounts and a small size. Because a coefficient of correlation was high, it seemed that removal of heavy metals could be explained by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. If we reflected the adsorption capacity(k) and adsorption intensity(l/n) of Freundlich isotherm, we couldn`t consider waste concretes as a good adsorbent, But, we could know that waste concretes were capable of removing a part of heavy metals. In point of building waste debris, if waste concretes substituted for a valuable adsorbent such as actviated carbon, they could look forward to an expected economical effect.
