우리나라에 축산물을 수출한 국가들이 2022년과 2023년 에 제출한 2019-2022년 국가별 잔류물질검사프로그램(NRP) 자료를 바탕으로 축산물 유형별, 국가별로 잔류허용기준 을 위반한 동물용의약품과 환경오염물질의 현황을 분석하 였다. 가장 많이 위반된 잔류물질은 네오마이신 2 4 1건, 페 니실린G 183건, 겐타마이신 151건, 세프티오퍼 113건, 니카 바진 103건 등이였고 축산물별로는 소고기, 돼지고기, 가 금육, 우유, 계란 등의 순서로 나타났다. 잔류 위반이 가 장 많았던 소고기에서는 페니실린G, 세프티오퍼, 플루니신 , 네오마이신, 벤질페니실린, 멜록시캄, 플로르페니콜, 질 파테롤 등 전염병 치료에 사용되는 항생제와 해열제 및 성장 촉진에 사용되는 동물용의약품이 주로 검출되었지만 , 돼지고기에서는 성장촉진을 목적으로 사용되는 락토파민 과 항생제인 독시사이클린, 클로람페니콜, 벤질페니실린, 난드롤론, 티오라실, 스트렙토마이신 및 임신 촉진에 사용 되는 호르몬이 가장 흔하게 검출된 것으로 나타났다. 가 금육에서는 콕시듐증 치료에 사용되는 항생제인 니카바진 이 가장 많이 위반되었으며, 스트렙토마이신, 아미노글리 코사이드 항생제, 벤질페니실린, 독시사이클린 및 기타 항 생제가 그 뒤를 이었다. 동물용의약품의 잔류 위반은 많 은 국가에서 보고되고 있으나, 다이옥신과 PCB와 같은 환 경오염 물질의 잔류는 주로 유럽 국가에서 보고되었다. 국 가별 잔류물질의 차이는 각국에서 사육되는 가축과 사육 관리 방식의 차이에 의한 것으로, 소고기의 잔류 수준이 높은 것은 소는 다른 동물에 비해 질병 발생 시 개체별로 치료되기 때문일 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구 결과는 수입 축산물의 안전성 확보를 위하여 국가별, 축산물별로 중점 적으로 검사가 필요한 물질을 제시함으로써 매년 실시하 는 수입 축산물 잔류물질검사를 보다 과학적이고 효율적 으로 수행할 수 있는 기반을 제공하였다.

Unlike civilian logistics systems, which primarily focus on efficiency, military logistics emphasizes operational stability. To achieve this, the establishment of a dedicated support system and balanced inventory management are essential. However, the current Army logistics system requires improvements in the support rate through the dedicated support framework. Although long-term improvement is possible through procurement process optimization, short-term enhancement is difficult due to the military’s annual procurement cycle. As a short-term improvement, inventory adjustment between supply points could be effective, but this strategy has not been fully utilized. This is due to the lack of recognition that, while inventory adjustment may increase costs in the short term, it contributes to improved logistics efficiency and stability in the long term. This study proposes a cost-minimizing plan that includes inventory adjustment between supply points in military logistics and aims to verify the effectiveness of inventory adjustment. To this end, a mathematical model for optimizing transportation planning was developed. Additionally, the effectiveness of inventory adjustment was demonstrated through a case study reflecting actual Army logistics conditions. The results of the study confirmed the positive effects of inventory adjustment. Inventory adjustment is expected to enhance the dedicated support rate and promote procurement process optimization, contributing to the advancement of the Army logistics system.

Defense Modeling & Simulation (M&S) techniques are used for developing the efficiency and economics of national defense at operational level so that it maintains interoperability and reusability in sustainability for the following process of the war simulation. However, the lack of conceptual models was one cause of limiting the interoperability and reusability in defense M&S areas. In this paper, the Conceptual Model of the Mission Space (CMMS) is studied as preliminary process for the defense M&S. The conceptual modeling framework called CMMS-K (Conceptual Model of the Mission Space-Korea) is suggested using a case example in consideration of the Korean Army specification and characteristics. The practicality of CMMS-K is evaluated through the ontology development for military scenarios. It is expected that the gap between the theoretical approach and the practical perspective of defense M&S can be diminished through the use of these approaches.

The study on the efficiency improvement of qualification procedures for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites analyzed the differences between the European ECSS and the American NASA standards. ECSS allows flexible test tailoring to accommodate project-specific requirements, whereas NASA enforces strict standardized procedures to ensure high reliability. Additionally, ECSS prioritizes cost efficiency, while NASA emphasizes reliability. In terms of application scope, NASA focuses on private-sector collaborations, whereas ECSS is centered on cooperative projects within Europe. Based on this comparative analysis, this study proposes a qualification framework for Korean LEO satellites, categorizing 18 qualification test items into mandatory and optional groups. This approach is expected to enhance the reliability, performance, and stability of satellite systems. Therefore, the proposed Korean qualification test sequence should be implemented and incorporated into national defense standards. This will strengthen the systematic structure of the qualification process while maximizing efficiency in terms of testing time and cost.

Sympathetic innervation stimulates β-adrenergic receptors, triggering cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and enhancing protein secretion in salivary gland cells. While cAMP signaling, in conjunction with Ca2+ signaling, is essential for salivary gland function, the identified cAMP-producing G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) remains limited. Here, we report the presence of cAMP-producing adenosine receptors in salivary gland cells. By reanalyzing publicly available single-cell transcriptome datasets of human and mouse submandibular glands, we identified mRNA expression of adenosine A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors. Additionally, we confirmed that 5’-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), an adenosine A2B receptor agonist, increases cAMP levels in human salivary gland cells, suggesting a physiological role for adenosine A2B receptors. Our findings enhance understanding of adenosine’s regulatory function in salivary glands and highlight new avenues for research on cAMPproducing adenosine receptors.

As part of the 2024 research initiative, “Investigation and Discovery of Prokaryotes in Freshwater Systems,” samples were collected from diverse freshwater habitats, including both water and soil environments. Approximately 2,000 bacterial strains were isolated as single colonies and identified through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Among these, 38 strains shared ≥98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with those of known bacterial species not previously reported in Korea. These strains were thus categorized as newly recorded bacterial species in Korea. These 38 bacterial strains displayed significant phylogenetic diversities, spanning 2 phyla, 4 classes, 15 orders, 24 families, and 34 genera. These unrecorded species were classified into the following classes: Actinomycetia (with genera including Microcella, Conyzicola, Curtobacterium, Leucobacter, Microbacterium, Frigoribacterium, Lysinibacter, Streptomyces, Nonomuraea, Actinocorallia, Ruania, and Actinoplanes), Alphaproteobacteria (Paracoccus, Youngimonas, Loktanella, Corticibacterium, Neorhizobium, Onobrychidicola, Ferranicluibacter, Aureimonas, Asticcacaulis, and Novosphingobium), Betaproteobacteria (Rhodoferax, Rugamonas, and Cupriavidus), and Gammaproteobacteria (Rheinheimera, Shewanella, Kosakonia, Leclercia, Hafnia, Yersinia, Pseudomonas, Lysobacter, and Acinetobacter ). Further characterization included assessment of Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, biochemical properties, and phylogenetic relationships. This report presents detailed phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics of these bacterial species.
