Due to climate change and the expansion of cultivation areas through the use of reclaimed land, changes in the selection of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) varieties are anticipated. This study was conducted to compare the growth characteristics before overwintering, productivity, and feed value of eight Italian ryegrass varieties with different maturing stages under the same cultivation conditions. The variety ‘Lm4ho’, a medium-maturing type, showed superior growth characteristics before overwintering, including plant height, leaf length, and leaf width. The heading date was advanced in all varieties, with a greater degree of advancement observed in varieties with earlier heading dates. When harvested at the heading stage of the early-maturing types, the dry matter yield of the medium-maturing types was not significantly different from that of the early-maturing types. However, when harvested at the heading stage of the medium-maturing types, the dry matter yield was higher than that of the early-maturing types. Specifically, ‘Lm4ho’ produced 2,518 kg/ha more than ‘Kowinearly’. The late-maturing variety IR901 and the medium-maturing varieties ‘Lm4ho’ and ‘Kowinmaster’ showed statistically superior dry matter yields. In terms of forage value, including crude protein (CP), total digestible nutrients (TDN), and relative feed value (RFV), the medium- and late-maturing types outperformed the early-maturing types. Notably, ‘Lm4ho’, ‘IR 901’, and ‘Hwasan 104’ were evaluated as suitable varieties for high-quality forage production. These results suggest that medium-maturing varieties may be suitable for double cropping in the central regions due to climate change. We propose that future breeding of Italian ryegrass should expand from focusing on cold tolerance and early-maturing varieties to include mediumand late-maturing varieties that consider both productivity and quality.

This study was attempted to investigate effects of ethical climate and workplace bullying on nurses’ turnover intention of nurses working in medium to large sized general hospitals in Korea. This study was conducted on 187 full-time nurses working in the general hospitals with more than 400 beds. Data were collected from the online communities of nurses using Google Foam from April 22 to April 24, 2024. The average values were 3.64±0.64 (out of 5 points) for ethical climate, 2.43±0.75 (out of 4 points) for workplace bullying, and 3.33±0.95 (out of 5 points) for nurses’ turnover intention. While ethical climate had a non-significant relationship with nurses' turnover intention, workplace bullying had a significant relationship with nurses' turnover intention. Nurses’ turnover intention was influenced by verbal attack, inappropriate task, working department, and educational level. These four variables can explain 53.0% of nurses' turnover intention. To prevent the turnover of nurses working at medium to large sized general hospitals, nursing managers need to pay more attention to nurses with low educational level and working at comprehensive wards and special wards. In addition, nursing managers should provide communication training to nurses and assign nursing tasks and working departments according to the nurses' abilities and wishes.

Distribution and logistics industries contribute some of the biggest GDP(gross domestic product) in South Korea and the number of related companies are quarter of the total number of industries in the country. The number of retail tech companies are quickly increased due to the acceleration of the online and untact shopping trend. Furthermore, major distribution and logistics companies try to achieve integrated data management with the fulfillment process. In contrast, small and medium distribution companies still lack of the capacity and ability to develop digital innovation and smartization. Therefore, in this paper, a deep learning-based demand forecasting & recommendation model is proposed to improve business competitiveness. The proposed model is developed based on real sales transaction data to predict future demand for each product. The proposed model consists of six deep learning models, which are MLP(multi-layers perception), CNN(convolution neural network), RNN(recurrent neural network), LSTM(long short term memory), Conv1D-BiLSTM(convolution-long short term memory) for demand forecasting and collaborative filtering for the recommendation. Each model provides the best prediction result for each product and recommendation model can recommend best sales product among companies own sales list as well as competitor’s item list. The proposed demand forecasting model is expected to improve the competitiveness of the small and medium-sized distribution and logistics industry.

This study was conducted in Cheonan, the middle region of South Korea, to evaluate the forage characteristics of six medium maturing Italian ryegrass varieties: ‘Kowinmaster’, ‘IR 601’, ‘IR 602’, ‘IR 603’, ‘IR 604’ and ‘IR 605’. In growth characteristics, 'Kowinmaster' exhibited the earliest heading date on April 30, while 'IR 601' exhibited the latest on May 17. 'IR 601' exhibited the highest lodging resistance, and all varieties demonstrated excellent disease resistance, waterlogging tolerance, and cold tolerance. 'IR 603', 'IR 604', and 'IR 605' demonstrated above-average plant length, with 'IR 604' reaching the longest at 114.8 cm. In productivity, 'IR 602' and 'IR 605' produced the highest total dry matter yield, each exceeding 12,800 kg/ha. Regarding feed values, 'Kowinmaster' recorded the highest RFV and TDN at 119.18 and 66.07%, respectively, with 'IR 605' exhibiting the second highest. 'IR 604' and 'IR 601' demonstrated crude protein concentrations over 9%, with 'IR 604' exhibiting the highest at 9.74%. Analysis of monosaccharide content in Italian ryegrass revealed that 'IR 605' exhibited the highest glucose and fructose content at 23.35 g/kg and 50.70 g/kg, respectively. In summary, 'IR 602' exhibited the highest productivity, 'Kowinmaster' recorded the highest feed value, and 'IR 605' exhibited the highest glucose and fructose content. Therefore, 'IR 605' is considered the most outstanding variety due to its superior productivity, second highest feed value, and significant monosaccharide content.

The objective of this study is to identify the priority of elements for effective implementation of MES in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises trying to develop into smart factories. For this purpose, the Delphi method and the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) mothod are applied. As a result of the study, the cooperation of the members in the supply chain is the most important factor for small and medium-sized enterprises in order to survive in the global competitive environment. Therefore, the enterprises need to make various efforts to create synergies through the technical strength of suppliers and the cooperation in the process of introducing and operating MES.

The separation of zirconium and hafnium using tributyl phosphate (TBP)-Dodecane extractants in nitric acid medium was performed. Zirconium oxychloride, used as extraction feed, was obtained from the synthesis of Kalimantan zircon sand concentrate smelted using NaOH. The extraction process was carried out by dissolving chloride-based metals in nitric acid media in the presence of sodium nitrate using TBP-Dodecane as an extractant. Some of the extraction parameters carried out in this study include variations in organic phase and aqueous phase (O/A), variations in contact time, and variations in nitric acid concentration. Extraction was carried out using a mechanical shaker according to the parameter conditions. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used for elemental (Zr and Hf) composition analysis of the aqueous solution. The results showed that zirconium was separated from hafnium at optimum conditions with an organic/aqueous ratio of 1:5, contact time of 75 min, and an HNO3 concentration of 7 M. The resulting separation factor of zirconium and hafnium using TBP-Dodecane was 14.4887.

The emergence of ferrous-medium entropy alloys (FeMEAs) with excellent tensile properties represents a potential direction for designing alloys based on metastable engineering. In this study, an FeMEA is successfully fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), a metal additive manufacturing technology. Tensile tests are conducted on the LPBF-processed FeMEA at room temperature and cryogenic temperatures (77 K). At 77 K, the LPBF-processed FeMEA exhibits high yield strength and excellent ultimate tensile strength through active deformation-induced martensitic transformation. Furthermore, due to the low stability of the face-centered cubic (FCC) phase of the LPBFprocessed FeMEA based on nano-scale solute heterogeneity, stress-induced martensitic transformation occurs, accompanied by the appearance of a yield point phenomenon during cryogenic tensile deformation. This study elucidates the origin of the yield point phenomenon and deformation behavior of the FeMEA at 77 K.

본 연구는 코이어 배지를 이용한 오이 수경재배에서 배지 포 수액의 종류와 정식 방법에 따른 생육 및 생산성을 검증하여 가장 효율성이 높은 재배 방법의 선발을 위하여 수행되었다. 포수액은 배양액(S)과 원수(W), 육묘는 암면큐브 육묘(RC), 암면 플러그묘(RP), 슬라브 직파(DS)로 하였다. 재배 기간을 동일하게 하기 위하여 기준일은 파종일로 하였다. 초기 생육 량은 S 처리에 서 유의하게 높았으나, 생육기간이 길어질수록 처리 간 차이가 감소하였다. 정식 방법과 생육량 간에는 관계 성이 나타나지 않았으나, 포수 방법에 따라 동일한 정식방법 간에도 다른 결과가 나타났다. 생산성도 동일한 경향으로 초 기 수확기인 파종 후 6－8주까지는 S 처리에서 수확과의 수가 유의하게 많았으며, 이후 동일한 기간 수량의 격차가 해소되 었다. 누적 수량은 초기 수확량의 차이로 인하여 S 처리에서 유의하게 높았다. 식물체의 생육과 과실 생산성은 유사한 경 향으로 선형적인 관계성을 나타내었다. 정식 방법 간에는 상 관성을 나타내지 않았으나, S의 DS 처리가 초기 근권부 안정 적인 양·수분 공급으로 초기 생육 및 수량이 가장 많은 경향이 었다. 따라서 S 처리한 배지에 DS 방식이 식물체의 생육 및 생 산성에 가장 유리할 뿐만 아니라 재배단계 간소화를 통한 노 동력 및 생산 원가 절감으로 경제성 측면에서도 기여할 수 있 을 것으로 생각된다.

This study evaluated a potential sterilization process that uses calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2) as a disinfectant and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a neutralizing agent for monoculture processes of microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata). The results showed that no contaminants (prokaryote) were present when the Ca(ClO)2 concentration was greater than 0.010%. The use of an equivalent amount of H2O2 completely neutralized Ca(ClO)2 and had an additional bactericidal effect because of the formation of singlet oxygen. No substantial difference was observed in the biomass accumulation and chlorophyll contents compared to those in cultures sterilized using conventional physical methods such as autoclaving. Therefore, chemical sterilization using Ca(ClO)2 and H2O2 has an excellent economic advantage, and we expect the proposed ecofriendly chemical sterilization method to become a critical culture technology for microalgae-related industrialization.

A mono-type glycerine fatty acid ester compound was chemically synthesized using medium-chain fatty acids with antibacterial activity, and the physicochemical quality and antibacterial activity of the synthesized glycerine medium-chain fatty acid ester compound were measured. At a reaction molar ratio of MCT(medium chain triglyceride) to glycerine of 1:2.5, 48.15% mono ester was produced. The physicochemical analysis of the synthesized glycerine fatty acid ester compound showed an acid content of 0.38~0.60%, which tended to increase slightly as the glycerine molar ratio increased. The saponification value decreased as the synthesized molar ratio of glycerine increased from 218 to 284. The number of bacteria was measured to confirm the degree of antibacterial activity of glycerine medium-chain fatty acid esters against food poisoning bacteria, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella typhi. The number of bacteria significantly decreased as the MCT:glycerine molar ratio increased. In particular, the antibacterial effect between the treatment groups was the highest when at an MCT:glycerine molar ratio of 1:2.5.

아미노글리코사이드계 항생제(Aminoglycosides, AGs) 는 그람음성균과 양성균에 광범위하게 작용하는 동물용 의약품으로, 최근 배양육에 사용된다고 알려져 있어, 안 전성 관리를 위한 분석법 마련이 반드시 필요하다. AGs 는 고극성 화합물로 성분 간의 분리를 위해 이온쌍 시 약(ion-pairing reagent, IPR)을 사용하고 있으나 IPR을 이동상에 첨가하는 기존 분석방법의 경우 용매가 흐르 는 동안 질량분석기로 주입되는 IPR로 인해 기기적인 문 제가 발생할 가능성이 높아, IPR를 바이알에 직접 첨가 하는 분석방법을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서 10종 AGs 성 분에 대한 분석방법을 확인하고 유효성을 검증하였다. 검출한계와 정량한계는 각각 0.0001-0.0038 mg/kg 와 0.004-0.011 mg/kg의 범위로 나타났으며, 0.01-0.5 mg/ kg 범위 내의 직선성(R2)은 0.99 이상이었다. AGs의 시 료 회수율을 확인하고자 소고기와 세포배양배지(cell culture medium) 매질에서 회수율과 상대표준편차로 나 타낸 정밀도를 확인한 결과 각각 70.7-120.6% 및 0.2 to 24.7%로 나타났다. 기존의 이동상에 IP 첨가 방법과 비 교하였을 때 유사한 수준으로 양호하였다. 검증된 AGs 분석법은 국내 유통되는 닭고기, 소고기, 돼지고기 15품 목과 배양육 배지 첨가제 6품목에 적용해보았다. 그 결 과 국내 유통되는 육류 15품목 모두 AGs 성분이 검출 되지 않았으나, 세포배양배지에서 streptomycin은 695.85- 1152.71 mg/kg, dehydrostreptomyci은 6.35-11.11 mg/kg 로 검출되었다. 따라서 IRR을 바이알에 직접 첨가하는 LC-MS/MS 방식은 육류, 세포배양배지, 배지첨가제 중 AGs 분석 및 안전성 평가를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것 으로 기대된다.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is currently the most commonly used microbial pesticide. In the previous study, Bt IMBL-B9 known for its high toxicity against Spodoptera exigua, S. frugiperda and Plutella xylostella was characterized. To develop novel biopesticide, optimization of culture medium is required for the cost-effective mass production for toxin production of IMBL-B9. Through experimental design by Plackett-Burman design, ingredients that significantly influenced the production of IMBL-B9's toxin were selected. Using these results, the novel culture medium for IMBL-B9 was developed and the toxin yield of IMBL-B9 was significantly increased than conventional media by using this medium. These results could be useful for the development of biopesticides.
