본 연구는 선교사 탈진 진단 및 대처방안을 프로이덴버거의 “과잉 성취동기” 이론과 마슬락의 “정서적 고갈”에 관한 측정 방법론을 통해 제시하고, 보완책으로 호킨스와 오스왈드의 이론을 다루었다. 2012년 부터 2년간 한국선교사의 중도탈락은 40%를 넘었다. 세계적으로 선교사 중도탈락의 위기관리 연구가 1996년과 2015년에 심도 있게 진행되었고 200여 곳 선교사 케어센터가 생겨났다. 그럼에도 불구하고 구체적인 방향 제시는 없었다. 선교현장에서 선교사의 헌신적 태도가 대인관계에서의 조절능력 부족을 야기하였고 탈진이 초래되었다. 현실의 실망스러운 상황에 대한 책임감과 압박감에 의한 부정적 자아개념이 업무에서 성취감 감소로 이어지며 사람들로부터 떠나고 싶은 결과를 가져왔다. 이에 본 논문은 선교사의 탈진으로 이어지는 상황을 분석하 고, 탈진 학자들의 의미 있는 대처방안을 재정립하였다.

Light is an important factor for cordycepin production in Cordyceps militaris. We investigated the effects of different light-emitting diode (LED) conditions including various LED wavelengths and their combinations on cordycepin production in Cordyceps militaris cultivated in submerged culture. The results of our study showed that the combinations of LED wavelengths were more beneficial than single LED sources for cordycepin production. Among the three tested wavelength combinations, the greatest effects for cordycepin production were observed for the red:blue light combination at the wavelength ratio of 5:5 or 3:7. The optimal culture conditions were 19.2278 h/day of illumination time; 9.19497 g/50 mL of glucose content in the media; and 53.112 h of cultivation time. Our model predicted a maximum yield of 2860.01 μg/mL cordycepin. Finally, to verify the calculated maximum, we performed experiments in the culture media representing the obtained optimum combination and the cordycepin yield of 2412.5 μg/mL.

Research in the consumption of counterfeit products has examined market size, consumer perceptions, and buyer characteristics (Nia & Zaichkowsky, 2010; Wee, Tan, & Cheok, 1995). However, little is known about how different kinds of counterfeits are evaluated because the term counterfeit tends to be used as a catch all for “fakes”. By taking a more nuanced approach to defining counterfeits we investigate how consumer’s perceptions of counterfeit products can vary based on the details of the item and its production. Moreover, we demonstrate that perceptions and consumption of counterfeits is not universal across cultures. Drawing from cultural psychology research, we propose that differences in dialectical thinking styles can influence the evaluation of counterfeit products. Prior literature has demonstrated that East Asians are relatively more dialectical. While Caucasians (with European cultural background) adopt a relatively more polarized, less polarized, less dialectical belief system (Peng & Nisbett, 1999). This difference has important implications for our understanding of cultural differences in considering counterfeits. Consider, for example, a “ghost shift” Rolex watch (i.e. an unlicensed copy made in a licensed facility with authentic materials but on an unofficial third shift (Parloff, 2006); compare that with a replica made using slightly different materials in a different facility altogether. Both are classified as counterfeits but may be evaluated differently with respect to authenticity and, as a result, may differ in perceived value as well (e.g. likelihood to purchase). We investigate these issues through three experiments conducted with 406 American undergraduate students by asking them to evaluate a variety of counterfeit and ghost shift counterfeit products. The first study relies on culture (non-Asian vs. East Asian ethnicity) as a proxy for thinking style and investigates perceptions of counterfeit sunglasses and shoes. Our second study provides converging evidence for the role of thinking styles on evaluations of different types of counterfeit shoes and extends our research by moving beyond reductionist cultural explanations through a wholly non- Asian sample by measuring individual differences in dialectical reasoning (Dialectical Self Scale; Spencer-Rodgers, Boucher, Mori, Wang, & Peng, 2009). Our last study investigates counterfeit Rolex watches and, more importantly, manipulates participants’ tolerance for change and contradiction through an established priming task (Peng & Nisbett, 1999). All three experiments revealed consistent results: lower dialectical thinking (more representative of Europeans) resulted in a greater likelihood to purchase the third shift version over the replica version, while higher dialectical thinking (e.g. East-Asian) resulted in equivalent responses between the two types. In studies 2 and 3 perceived authenticity also differed for low dialectical thinkers, but not high dialectical thinkers.

Entomopathogenic fungi have been known as promising candidates for biological control of insect pests. Recently, researchers consider the fungal thermotolerance in formulations and field applications. In this study, we investigated the production of thermotolerant Isaria javanica and I.fumosorosea conidia through grain-based solid cultures and exposure to light stress. As results, of the ten grain substrates, Italian millet, rice, perilla seed and sesame, rice, sorghum produced highly thermotolerant conidia in the strains. The two strains were exposed to a light stress and a heat stress. And they showed enhanced thermal stability compared to control, when exposed to 45°C for 2 hours. This work suggests that heat-resistant entomopathogenic fungal conidia can be produced by grain-based solid cultures and exposure to light stress.

Turmeric is known for its ability to enhance immunity via anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. Salmonella enterica species contain a large number of pathogenic serotypes that are adapted to a broad range of vertebrate hosts. Our previous study revealed that bioprocessed polysaccharides from the liquid culture Lentinus edodes fungal mycelia containing turmeric (BPP-turmeric) is able to alter chicken macrophage responses and increases chick survival against Salmonella enterica infection. In this study, we examined the immunomodulatory effects of BPP-turmeric on the porcine macrophage 3D4/31 cell line infected with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Choleraesuis (S. Choleraesuis) or S. Enteritidis. Our experimental analyses demonstrated that BPP-turmeric (i) does not alter phagocytic and killing activity of 3D4/31 against either Salmonella serotypes, but that it (ii) represses mRNA transcription of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor α in response to Salmonella infection. Collectively, these results imply that BPP-turmeric has an immunomodulatory effect that represses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in porcine macrophages, suggesting that it may protect swine from salmonellosis via controlling Salmonella-induced hyperinflammation.

Fermented sausages prepared by inoculation with different starter cultures were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. Three types of fermented sausages were processed separately, without starter culture (control), with a commercial culture mix, and culture mix plus Lactobacillus plantarum (LP). On proximate analysis, two inoculated sausages showed an increase in moisture and fat contents (p<0.05). The inoculated sausages showed lower hardness and gumminess values (p<0.05) than control. The combination of starter culture with LP displayed the lowest chewiness and cohesiveness values and showed a more intensive red color (p<0.05). Two inoculated batches showed significantly lower pH values and water activity than control, in accordance with the increase in lactic acid bacteria (p<0.05). The inoculated sausages reduced the extent of lipid oxidation (p<0.05) and induced an increase in lauric acid, linoleic acid, eicosadienoic acid, and arachidonic acid, as well as they had a higher polyunsaturated fatty acid content and ratio of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (p<0.05). The addition of LP to the starter culture in a suitable combination resulted in a positive effect on the physicochemical and microbiological attributes of fermented sausages.

The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effect of five chemical inhibitors on methane production of the pure cultures of methanogens. To examine the methanogenesis inhibition by 2-bromoethane sulfonic acid (BES), 3-bromopropane sulfonic acid (BPS), lumazine, propynoic acid and ethyl 2-butynoate, they were added into the pure cultures of Methanobacterium formicicum KOR-1 and KOR-12, Methanoculleus bourgensis KOR-2, Methanosarcina mazei KOR-3, KOR-7, KOR-9 and KOR-10, Methanosarcina vacuolata (DSM 1232), Methanobacterium bryantii (ATCC 33272), Methanosarcina mazei (ATCC BAA159) and Methanosarcina barkeri (ATCC 43240). Each methanogen was anaerobically incubated at 39℃ for 6 and 10 days, and then methane gas production was measured. All methanogens were sensitive to BES, lumazaine and ethyl 2-butynoate and as the addition levels of the chemicals increased, the methanogenesis was linearly reduced. BPS and propynoic acid failed to inhibit any of the methanogens. There were important differences among species of methanogens regarding their sensitivity to the different inhibitors. In general, the strains of Methanosarcina species were the most resistant to BES, lumazaine and ethyl 2-butynoate and the strains of Methanobacteriales order the least resistant. The different resistances to chemical inhibitors may be caused by different cell membrane structure, substrate utilization for methanogenesis and competition with other microorganisms for electron receptors. In conclusion, differences among methanogens habituating in anaerobic ecosystems, such as the rumen of ruminants regarding their resistance to chemical inhibitors should be considered when strategies of inhibition of methanogenesis are designed.

What kind of reasons or bases could lead to strong and positive brand attitudes? This study aims to identify the factors that have strong relationships with positive brand attitudes and to test whether the findings can be generalized and applied across cultural contexts. Historically, attitude research has assumed that attitudes are based on cognition (i.e. beliefs) and affect (Bodur, Brinberg, & Coupey, 2000; Crano & Prislin, 2006). This study suggests a new schema comprised of ‘self-based’ and ‘public-based’ evaluations as the foundation of brand attitudes. ‘Self-based’ evaluations refer to brand evaluations based on consumers’ personal judgments and feelings. These evaluations mainly derive from consumers’ experiences with products. In contrast, ‘public-based’ evaluations are influenced by others’ opinions and brands’ public reputations. Consumers are frequently exposed to word-of-mouth messages about brands and related products, and they can assess them even when they have not personally used the product. Based on previous brand management literature, two hypotheses below were developed. Hypothesis 1: Self-based evaluations predict positive brand attitudes, but public-based evaluations do not predict positive brand attitudes. Hypothesis 2: Self-based evaluations predict the purchase intentions of consumers with independent self-construal, but public-based evaluations predict the purchase intentions of consumers with interdependent self-construal. The data were collected in a Western and an East Asian country and analysed for authenticity as well as by country, which should be important to global brand building. The results supported the hypotheses and this study made three important discoveries. First, it demonstrated that self-based evaluation was a broadly important factor to building positive brand attitudes. Second, public-based evaluation was marginally effective for branding and is important only in the East Asian context. Third, it was found that authenticity had ‘double-edged’ effects on branding. Finally, the contributions and implications of this study were discussed.

지황은 현삼과(Scrophulariaceae)에 속하는 다년생 초본식물 Rehmannia glutinosa(Gaertn.) DC.로 서 한의학에서는 뿌리를 지황(地黃)이라는 한약재로 이용하고 있다. 지황은 선지황(鮮地黃), 생지황(生 地黃), 숙지황(熟地黃) 등으로 널리 사용되고 있지만 종자파종에 의한 재배보다 종근을 이용한 영양번식 으로 재배하고 있다. 종근을 이용한 재배법은 뿌리 썩음병으로 인해 종근의 관리와 생산성이 높은 고품 질의 지황 생산이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 형태적 특징과 유전자 분석을 통해 기원이 검증된 지황 기원식물을 이용하여 정확한 기원의 무균 배양묘와 종근 생산을 위한 최적 조건을 확립하고자 하 였다. 기내배양묘 생산에 필요한 최적의 생장율과 다개체 형성율, 그리고 뿌리 형성율 및 비대조건을 탐색한 결과, WPM 배지와 1.0mg/L의 IAA와 0.5mg/L의 IBA 옥신계 생장조절제가 첨가된 배지(WPM + IAA 1.0mg/L + IBA 0.5mg/L)에서 최적 생장율과 뿌리다개체 형성율을 나타내었으며, 0.1mg/L의 NAA가 첨가된 WPM 배지(WPM + NAA 0.1mg/L)에서 가장 많은 수의 뿌리가 형성되었고 비대율도 높 게 나타났다. 이러한 최적조건에서 생산한 기내식물체는 토양 순화 후 정식하였을 경우에도 높은 뿌리 형성율과 지속적인 비대 효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과는 지황의 무균 배양묘 생산과 배양묘기반 종근 생 산을 통해 지황 대량 생산에 필요한 배양묘와 종근 생산에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 고품질 지황 생산량에기여할 것으로 사료된다.

According to the environmental management literature, firms can realize significant cost advantage relative to competitors and improve their competitive position by implementing certain "Environmental Management Practices"(EMPs) (Hart, 1995; Shrivastava, 1995b; Christmann, 2000). Although EMPs is importance and prevailing presence, little attention has been paid to understand the drivers and outcomes of EMPs in the context of international buyer-supplier relationships. This study attempts to increase the understanding of how isomorphism pressures and organizational cultures influence the EMPs, which in turn enhance supplier’s competitive advantage in the context of international buyer-supplier relationships.
