As climate changes and global trade volume increases, the spread of invasive alien species accelerates. Early prevention before occurrence is crucial for invasive pest control. Therefore, this study modeled the current and future potential distribution of the tomato leafminer(Tuta absoluta) (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), the most significant pest affecting tomatoes, in Korea. This pest primarily feeds on Solanaceae crops and can cause extensive damage, resulting in 50-100% loss of crops in greenhouses or fields. While previously unreported in Korea, it invaded China in 2017, indicating a potential threat to Korea. The potential distribution of the tomato leafminer in Korea under current and three future climate scenarios (SSP1-26, SSP3-70, SSP5-85) was predicted using the MaxEnt model. Additionally, elevation and land cover were incorporated as abiotic factors considering the ecological characteristics of the pest.

Our study examined a total of 60 dead wood samples (Quercus spp.), collecting 30 samples each in summer and winter, and measured various environmental variables in the field. These samples were classified into three decay classes: fresh, intermediate, well-decayed. We sampled saproxylic beetles within the collected dead wood using emergence traps. Conducted a cluster analysis to explore their relationships of saproxylic beetle and environmental variables. Our results revealed that season and decay class were significant environmental variables affecting saproxylic beetle communities. These results highlight the sensitivity of saproxylic beetles to fluctuations of environment and climate. In summary, our study highlights the intricate relationships between environmental variables and saproxylic beetles and suggests that different types of dead wood should be maintained in forests.

이 연구는 중국 대학 태권도 지도자의 이미지가 선수의 그릿, 심리상태와 경기수행력에 미치는 영향을 연구하여 향후 중국 대학 태권도의 질적 발전을 위해 우수한 지도자양성 기초 자료를 제공하는 데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이 연구를 위해 중국 허난성 대학교에 있는 선수를 대상으로 모집단을 선정하였으며, 편의표본추출법을 통해 표본을 추출하였다. 회수된 380부의 설문지 중, 응답이 불성실하고 또는 누락된 문 항이 있는 15부를 제외하여 총 365부를 결과처리에 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 사 용하여 빈도분석, 상관관계분석, 신뢰도분석, 탐색적 요인분석 및 다중회귀분석을 통해 실시했다. 이 연구 의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지도자 이미지의 하위요인인 지도자의 사회활동과 직업의식, 자질, 업무, 역 할은 태권도 선수의 그릿에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 지도자 이미지의 하위요인인 지 도자의 사회활동과 직업의식, 자질, 태도, 업무, 역할은 태권도 선수의 심리상태에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지도자 이미지의 하위요인인 지도자의 사회활동과 직업의식, 자질, 태도는 태권도 선수의 경기수행력에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Climate change and biological invasions are the greatest threats to biodiversity, agriculture, health and the global economy. Tomato leafminer(Tuta absoluta) (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most important threats to agriculture worldwide. This pest is characterized by rapid reproduction, strong dispersal ability, and highly overlapping of generations. Plants are damaged by direct feeding on leaves, stems, buds, calyces, young ripe fruits and by the invasion of secondary pathogens which enter through the wounds made by the pest. Since it invaded Spain in 2006, it has spread to Europe, the Mediterranean region, and, in 2010, to some countries in Central Asia and Southeast Asia. In East Asia, Tomato leafminer was first detected in China in Yili, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, in 2017. There is a possibility that this pest will invade South Korea as well. This study provides this by the use of MaxEnt algorithm for modelling the potential geographical distribution of Tomato Leafminer in South Korea Using presence-only data.

The point-of-use water dispenser systems are widely used because of convenience in handling and demand for high-quality drinking water. The application has been increased recently in the public places such as department stores, universities and the rest areas in express ways. Improvement of water qualities by the dispenser systems was compared with tap water in this study. The tap water is supplied to the dispenser as the influent of the dispenser system. The twelve dispensers in the public places were used. The five dispensers used reverse osmosis as the main filter and other dispensers used various filters such as ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and alumina filter. The water quality indicators for sanitation safety, i.e., turbidity and total coliforms, were evaluated. Other water qualities such as pH, residual chlorine, heterotrophic plate count (HPC), and total cell counts were also analyzed. By the point-of-use water dispenser, the turbidity, residual chlorine and pH were decreased and the HPC and total cell counts were increased. The t-test results revealed that the HPC of the tap waters were not significantly different from the treated waters but the total cell counts of the two groups were significantly different. The low pH of the RO filter treatment was also significantly different from the tap waters. This study will contribute to understand the role of the point-of-use water dispenser in improving water quality and to identify key water quality for the proper maintenance of the dispenser systems.
