본 연구는 중부지역에서 사료작물인 수단그라스 교잡종(Sorghum x Sudangrass hybrid, SX-17)의 기후 영향에 대한 취약성을 평가하고 생산성에 영향을 미치는 주요 기후 요인을 규명하고자 2017년부터 2018년까지 충청북도 충주와 충청남도 청양에서 현장 실험을 수행하였으며, 기후 취약성은 농촌진흥청에서 정의한 지수를 활용하여 평가하고 기온 및 강수량 자료는 기상청에서 제공받았다. 2018년의 수단그라스 교잡종의 생초 및 건물 수량은 고온과 가뭄 스트레스로 인해 2017년에 비해 현저히 감소하였고, 두 지역 모두 2010년 이후 기후 취약성 증가 추세를 보였으며 2018년에 최대값인 0.7에 도달하였고, 이러한 결과는 극한 기상 현상이 사료작물 생산성에 부정적인 영향을 미친다는 점을 부각시 키며 기후영향 취약성 평가는 기후변화 시나리오 하에서 효과적인 농업 적응 전략 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

A new spider species of the genus Pholcus Walckenaer, 1805, Pholcus osaek sp. nov., in the family Pholcidae C.L. Koch, 1850, is described from Korea. This new species belongs to phungiformes-group in the genus. It can be distinguished from its congeners by the shape and structure of genital organs of both males and females. It is found on and between rock walls in mountainous mixed forests. Additionally, the taxonomic status of Pholcus uksuensis Kim & Ye, 2014 is revalidated, re-diagnosed, and redescribed based on specimens collected from the type locality. Considering differences mentioned in the diagnosis through revalidation, P. uksuensis is regarded as a distinct species. Therefore, it should be removed from the synonymy of P. woongil Huber, 2011.

디지털 기술의 발전과 함께 권위주의 정권들은 이러한 도구를 활용하 여 통제를 강화하고 있다. 북한은 이러한 추세를 명확히 보여주는 사례 이다. 본 연구는 사례 연구 방법을 통해 북한이 디지털 권위주의를 어떻 게 적용하고 있는지, 그리고 이러한 기술이 인권 침해로 어떻게 이어지 는지를 분석한다. 북한의 생체 감시, AI 기반 모니터링 등 디지털 감시 사례를 통해, 디지털 감시가 인권에 미치는 영향을 제시한다. 이 논문은 북한에서의 인권 침해 현황을 보고하고, 이러한 문제 해결을 위한 정책 방안을 제언한다. 국제사회는 디지털 감시 기술 공급업체에 대한 표적 제재를 이행하고 북한 주민에게 정보를 제공하기 위한 노력을 전개할 필 요가 있다.

Background: The plank exercise is widely used in rehabilitation to enhance core muscle activation, spinal stability, and reduce the risk of lower back injuries. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of exercise complexity and instability on core muscle activation, with a particular focus on using a sling suspension system during prone bridge exercises. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty healthy adults performed three variations of prone bridge exercises: Both Limb Prone Bridge (BLPB), Single Limb Prone Bridge (SLPB), and Single Limb Prone Bridge with Hip Abduction (SLPBHA). Electromyography (EMG) was used to measure muscle activation in the erector spinae (ES), multifidus (MF), and internal oblique (IO) muscles. Results: Significant increases in ES muscle activation were observed during SLPBHA compared to BLPB and SLPB (P<.05), indicating that exercise complexity and the introduction of instability significantly enhanced ES activation. However, no significant differences were found in MF and IO activation across the exercise variations (P>.05). Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of exercise complexity and instability, particularly SLPBHA, in enhancing ES muscle activation. The findings support the inclusion of these exercises in core stability training programs aimed at improving spinal stability and preventing lower back injuries.

The present study describes Philodromus rufus Walckenaer, 1826 with detailed descriptions, taxonomic photographs, distribution map, and proposition of a new synonym. Due to morphological similarity between P. pseudoexilis Paik, 1979 and P. rufus, taxonomic identity of P. pseudoexilis has been doubtful to date. A detailed bibliographic study of types of P. pseudoexilis between P. rufus and examination of specimens from the type locality of P. pseudoexilis with specimens of P. rufus collected across the country showed that P. rufus has all diagnostic characters found in types of P. pseudoexilis. Therefore, P. pseudoexilis Paik, 1979 should be regarded as a new synonym of Philodromus rufus Walckenaer, 1826.

The ocean is linked to long-term climate variability, but there are very few methods to assess the short-term performance of forecast models. This study analyzes the short-term prediction performance regarding ocean temperature and salinity of the Global Seasonal prediction system version 5 (GloSea5). GloSea5 is a historical climate re-creation (2001-2010) performed on the 1st, 9th, 17th, and 25th of each month. It comprises three ensembles. High-resolution hindcasts from the three ensembles were compared with the Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography (ARGO) float data for the period 2001-2010. The horizontal position was preprocessed to match the ARGO float data and the vertical layer to the GloSea5 data. The root mean square error (RMSE), Brier Score (BS), and Brier Skill Score (BSS) were calculated for short-term forecast periods with a lead-time of 10 days. The results show that sea surface temperature (SST) has a large RMSE in the western boundary current region in Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and Antarctic Circumpolar Current region, and sea surface salinity (SSS) has significant errors in the tropics with high precipitation, with both variables having the largest errors in the Atlantic. SST and SSS had larger errors during the fall for the NINO3.4 region and during the summer for the East Sea. Computing the BS and BSS for ocean temperature and salinity in the NINO3.4 region revealed that forecast skill decreases with increasing lead-time for SST, but not for SSS. The preprocessing of GloSea5 forecasts to match the ARGO float data applied in this study, and the evaluation methods for forecast models using the BS and BSS, could be applied to evaluate other forecast models and/or variables.

A poorly known spider, Pholcus kwangkyosanensis Kim & Park, 2009 is redescribed with diagnosis, detailed descriptions, and taxonomic photographs of diagnostic characters. P. kwangkyosanensis is similar in appearance to P. kwanaksanensis Namkung & Kim, 1990, in terms of the shape of the genital organ and body, but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the shape of the cheliceral apophysis, uncus, and procursus in males, as well as the shape of the epigynum and pore plates in females. The specimens of this spider were collected at the type locality (Mt. Gwanggyosan, Suwon), specifically under the bridge on a local stream in an agricultural landscape surrounded by rice fields, upland fields, or horticultural greenhouses.
