본 연구는 아동의 놀이 대상과 놀이의 유형별 소요시간이 사회성 발달의 기본이 되는 친사회적 기술과 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 알아보는 것이다. 연구 대상은 전남지역 초등학교에 다니는 4학년, 5학년, 6학년 아동 172명이다. 아동의 놀이와 친사회적 기술의 관계를 분석하기 위하여 선행연구를 기초로 설문 문항을 작성하였고 아동의 친사회적 기술의 측정은 MESSY 척도를 사용하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 놀이 대상에 따른 친사회적 기술은 놀이대상이 친구나 가족에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 가족 중 어머니와 함께 놀이하는 아동보다 아버지와 많이 놀이하는 아동의 친사회적 기술이 높았다. 둘째, 놀이가 직업탐색에 영향을 주는가에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 인식한 아동의 경우가 친사회적 기술이 더 높았다. 셋째, 아동이 가장 많이 하는 놀이유형은 주중과 주말 모두 미디어놀이이며 다음으로 야외활동놀이, 사교놀이, 오락놀이, 취미교양놀이의 순으로 나타났다. 그리고 주중에 비해 주말에는 미디어놀이, 사교놀이, 야외활동놀이를 더 많이 하였다. 넷째, 주말에 하는 놀이유형별 놀이시간은 아동의 친사회적 기술에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 특히 SNS나 컴퓨터, 핸드폰, 게임, TV보기와 같은 미디어놀이에 보내는 시간이 많을수록 친사회적 기술은 낮았다.

Exposure to house dust mites is closely connected with allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. House dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus) act as allergens even after their death. Therefore, repelling the house dust mites is more effective method than killing them. Many chemical agents have been used in killing house dust mite. However, it is usually reported that these chemical agents (acaricides) exhibit adverse effects and toxicity toward animals and human. For these reasons, we carried out the experiments for measuring the repellent activity of Mate tea and Jasmine tea against house dust mites in this experiment. In order to determine the concentration having the most effective repellent effect of Mate and Jasmine tea, house dust mites (D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus) were exposed at different concentrations (0, 0.015625, 0.03125, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 mg/40 μL) of Mate tea and Jasmine tea extracts, respectively, for different hours (0.5, 1, 2, 3 hours). The most effective repellent effect (%) against house dust mite in 0.25 mg/40 μL of Mate tea for 2 hours was 73.5%, Jasmine Petal tea in 0.0625 mg/40 μL for 1 hour was 84.1% and Pearl Jasmine tea in 0.125 mg/40 μL for 0.5 hour was 82.8%. These results suggest that Mate tea and Jasmine tea extracts have potential effect to repel the house dust mites (D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus)

The present study was performed on farm animals to test the effectiveness of progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (Cue-Mate® 1.56 g) and injection of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) for synchronization estrus in Hanwoo cattle. The cattle were at random stage of the estrus cycle. The cows were artificially inseminated at day 7 after Cue-Mate withdrawal, using commercial semen from Korean native bulls. There was a season effect on the estrus synchronization rate. It was higher in spring (94.3%) followed by winter (93.3%), autumn (90.4%) and summer (67.2%). In summary, The results of this study revealed that season has influences on estrus behavior of cattle with no significant effect on pregnancy rate. In summary, we suggest summer reproductive management to alleviate the effects of heat stress. It should be based on intensive cooling combined with hormonal treatment. Given that different subgroups of cows benefit differently from the treatments, selective hormonal administration should be considered.

In the previous study, the effect of orange-eyed color on mating of BPH was not clearly occurred, and the mating preference and multiple mating of female were cautiously suggested. To understand about the BPH female mate selection in the male-male competition-free conditions and the point of time for multiple mating, we designed four different combinations of the mate choice test with one virgin orange-eyed female (org/org) and two male BPH adults, orange-eyed male (org/org) and homozygous normal-eyed male (+/+). We gave the four different mating chances to female by the order of incubation (the first male and the following second male) and the incubation time (one day and days on end) of the second male. The distribution of the eye-color phenotype in F1 progeny and their hatching-order were observed in each mating combination. In the results, fourteen females out of twenty in four combinations produced progenies in accordance with mating chance priority of the first male, while three females of one combination selected the second male as a gamete. Interestingly, in three females of one combination with the continuous incubation of the second male, after eggs fertilized by the first male were continuously produced and then egg-laying was finished, progenies of the second male were started to be produced. From these results, it was suggested that mating order determines egg-laying order of female and the second mating of female would be occurred when sperm of the first male was almost exhausted in the reproductive organ.

In the previous study, we found an orange-eyed mutant of the brown planthopper (BPH). And we confirmed that it’s orange phenotype is controlled by single recessive allele in the autosome. To understand the effect of the orange eye color on mating of BPH, we designed two different combinations of the mate choice test with three virgin female and male BPH adults. The one consisted of orange-eyed female (org/org), orange-eyed male (org/org), and homozygous normal-eyed male (+/+) (female mate choice). The other was composed of orange-eyed male (org/org), orange-eyed female (org/org), and homozygous normal-eyed female (+/+) (male mate choice). In female mate choice test, four mating types could be distinguished according to the distribution of the eye-color phenotype in F1 progeny and their hatching-order in each mating pair. Two mating types showed only one eye-color phenotype, normal and orange, respectively, and the other two produced both eye-color phenotypes in a different hatching-order. In male mate choice test, both phenotypes of offsprings were also produced in most mating pairs. From these results, the effect of eye color on mating of BPH was not clearly found, but the multiple mating in both sexes and the mating preference by female are cautiously suggested.

본 연구에서는 마테(Ilex paraguariensis)로부터 50% 에탄올 추출물, 에틸아세테이트 분획물 및 아글리 콘 분획물을 제조하였고 이들 추출물/분획물에 대하여 항산화능을 평가하였다. 추출물 및 분획물의 수율은 건조 분말 당 각각 32.0, 4.48 및 0.82%를 나타냈다. 1,1-Phenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼 시험법을 이용한 자유 라디칼 소거 활성과 루미놀 발광법을 이용한 총 항산화능을 평가하였다. 50% 에탄올 추출물, 에틸 아세테이트 분획물 및 아글리콘 분획물의 라디칼 소거활성(FSC50)은 각각 8.83, 5.84 및 6.05 μg/mL이었다. 추출물 및 분획물의 총항산화능(OSC50)은 모든 추출물이 비교 대조군으로 사용한 L-ascorbic acid (1.72 μg/mL)과 유사한 항산화능을 나타냈으며. 50% 에탄올 추출물의 경우 OSC50은 1.03 μg/mL로 활성이 가장 큰 것으로 평가되었다. 1O2로 유도된 세포 손상에 대한 보호 효과 실험에서 모든 추출물은 10 μg/mL 농도에서 비 교 대조군인 (+)-α-tocopherol과 유의적으로 큰 세포 보호 활성(τ50)을 나타내었다. 특히 아글리콘 분획물 은 10 및 50 μg/mL 농도에서의 세포 보호 효과가 (+)-α-tocopherol 보다 약 5배나 크게 나타났다. 에틸아 세테이트 분획과 아글리콘 분획의 tyrosinase에 대한 저해 효과는 미백제로 알려진 알부틴과 유사하였다. 이상 의 결과들은 마테 추출물이 항산화 및 항노화 화장품 원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 최근 기능성 차 소재로 알려져 있는 mate의 특유의 맛과 향을 개선하기 위하여 발효공정을 적용하였으며 발효공정 단계별 유용성분 분석을 통해 품질특성을 비교하였다. 발효 전 mate 추출물에서는 탄닌 함량이 로 측정되었으나 발효 후 덖기 과정 및 최종 건조과정을 거침에 따라 각각 , 로 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량은 발효 전 mate 추출물에서 각각 43.45 mg/g, 0.86 mg/g이었으며 발효
