The objective of the present experiment was to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE), and betaine (BT) supplementations on productive performance, egg quality, relative organ weights, liver visual characteristics, antioxidant status, immune response, and stress indicator in laying hens raised under heat stress conditions. A total of 280 47-wk-old Hy-Line Brown laying hens were allotted to 1 of 4 dietary treatments with 7 replicates in a completely randomized design. Each replicate had 10 birds per cage. The basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed the requirement estimates for Hy-Line Brown laying hens. Three additional diets were prepared by adding 250 mg/kg VC, 250 mg/kg VE, or 3,000 mg/kg BT to the basal diet. The experimental diets and water were provided to hens on an ad libitum basis for 8 wk. Average daily room temperature and relative humidity were 30.7±1.41℃ and 72.5±11.61%, respectively. Results indicated that hens fed diets containing 250 mg/kg VE had a less (p<0.05) egg production rate than other dietary treatments. For egg quality, hens fed diets containing 3,000 mg/kg BT had a less (p<0.05) eggshell thickness than those fed the diets containing 250 mg/kg VC or 250 mg/kg VE. For antioxidant status, there was a tendency (p=0.09) for the least malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in the liver for BT treatment. A tendency (p=0.05) was observed for less blood heterophil:lymphocyte ratio in BT treatment as compared to other treatments. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of 250 mg/kg VC, 250 mg/kg VE, and 3,000 mg/kg BT has no beneficial effects on productive performance, egg quality, relative organ weights, liver visual characteristics, and immune responses of laying hens raised under the current heat stress conditions. However, dietary supplementation of 3,000 mg/kg BT alleviates antioxidant status and stress response of laying hens exposed to heat stress.

NIQE 결과에서 딥러닝 T2 강조 영상은 고식적인 T2 강조 영상보다 영상 품질이 우수하였고, NIMA 결과에서는 딥러닝 T2 강조 영상의 축상면은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었고, 딥러닝 T2 강조 영상의 관상면에서는 통계 적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 정성적 평가지표에서는 입 인두, 후두 인두에서 질적인 이득이 있었다. 연구 결과를 통해 안면 부 영역 중 무의식적인 움직임이 많은 영역에서 딥러닝을 적용함으로써 고식적인 T2 강조 영상보다 높은 영상의 품질 을 제공하고, 상대적으로 움직임이 덜한 구조물에서도 품질을 유지하며 검사 시간을 2분 이상 단축하여 움직임에 의한 인공 물을 감소시킴으로써 응급 환자 및 비협조 환자의 진단에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 사료 된다.

바이오디젤은 중립연료로써 친환경 연료로 알려져 있으며, 육상에서는 일정 비율을 의무 혼합하는 정책을 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오디젤의 선박 연료로써의 사용 가능성을 검증하기 위해 선박용 경유와 바이오디젤의 혼합비율 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 20 %에 대해 성분 분석, 금속 부식성 실험, 저장 안정성 실험을 수행하였다. 성분 분석은 ISO 8217:2017 기준에 따라 밀도, 동점도, 인화점 등 총 8가지를 평가하였으며, 180일 동안 상온과 가혹 조건(60 ℃)에서 금속 부식성 실험과 저장 안정성 실험을 통해 바이오디젤 신뢰성을 검증 하였다. 연구 결과, 성분 분석은 바이오디젤 모든 혼합비율에서 ISO 8217:2017 기준을 만족하였으며, 바이오디젤 비율에 따라 동점도, 밀 도, 산값은 혼합비율이 높아질수록 높게 나타났으며, 황분은 혼합비율이 높아질수록 낮게 나타났다. 금속 부식성은 탄소강, 철, 알루미늄, 니켈의 경우 부식이 거의 발생하지 않았으나, 구리의 경우 60 ℃ 환경 바이오디젤 20 % 혼합에서 산소가 풍부한 바이오디젤의 영향으로 부식이 발생하였다. 저장 안정성은 모든 바이오디젤 혼합비율을 180일 동안 상온과 가혹 조건에서 저장한 결과, 변색, 슬러지 발생, 연료 분리가 육안으로 확인되지 않았다.

새만금호는 우리나라 최대의 인공호수로 호수의 수질은 갈수록 악화되어 가고 있어 호수의 특성에 맞는 새로운 수질관리 대 책이 필요하다. 이에 새만금호의 국가수질측정망 자료를 이용하여 통계분석 기법에 의한 새만금호의 시공간적 수질특성을 분석하였다. 수질항목간의 상관성에서 수온과 TP는 상관성이 있고, 염분과 TN, 그리고 pH와 COD가 상관성이 높았다. 그 외 항목들 간에는 낮은 상관 성을 나타내어 관련성이 낮았다. 주성분 분석을 이용한 새만금호의 공간적 수질특성을 보면, 크게 4개의 그룹으로 구분되었는데, 담수 영 향구역과 해수 영향구역, 해수와 담수가 혼합되는 중간 수역이 2개 그룹으로 구분되어 각각 다른 수질특성을 나타내었다. 주성분분석을 이용한 시간적 수질특성은 계절적으로 4가지 그룹으로 구분되었다. 그룹Ⅰ은 늦봄과 초여름에 해당되는 5, 6월이고, 그룹 Ⅱ는 계절적으 로 초봄(3, 4월)과 늦가을(11, 12월)에 해당되는 시기로 나타났으며, 그룹 Ⅲ은 낮은 수온에 의한 용존산소의 증가가 나타나는 계절인 겨울 철(1, 2월)의 수질 특성을 보였고, 그룹 Ⅳ는 하계(7, 8, 9, 10월) 성층의 발달로 저층 퇴적물의 높은 인농도와 하계 고수온의 상관성을 가지 는 그룹으로 구분되었다. 이는 새만금호가 인위적으로 조성된 호수로써 상류 만경강과 동진강의 유입 영향을 받는 것과 동시에 새만금 방조제에 설치된 가력과 신시갑문을 통한 외해수 유입의 영향을 받음으로써 수질의 변동요소가 달라진 것으로 평가된다. 새만금호의 목 표수질을 달성하기 위해서는 상류 유역의 오염원 관리 대책과 함께 새만금호의 수질관리 대책을 수립할 필요가 있다.

2020년 6월부터 8월까지 일본 도쿄 남쪽 940 km 해상에 위치한 니시노시마 화산이 분화하였다. 2020년 7월 말 발생한 분화로 인한 화산재와 화산가스 일부가 우리나라에 영향을 주었을 가능성이 있는 것으로 보도되었다. 본 연구에 서는 화산재 확산 수치모의 프로그램인 Ash3D를 이용하여 현지시각 2 02 0년 7월 2 8일 0시에 화산폭발지수 3의 분화가 발생한 것으로 설정하고 수치모의를 실시하였다. 수치모의 결과, 화산재가 니시노시마 인근에서 동풍을 타고 7월 30일 새벽 오키나와에 도달한 이후 남풍을 타고 북상하여 8월 1일 제주도에 상륙하고 시계방향으로 회전하듯이 이동하면서 8월 2일에는 남부지방에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 실제 측정된 PM10 미세먼지농도는 제주도 고산기상관측소에서 8월 1일부터, 부산 구덕산기상관측소에서는 8월 2일부터 상승한 것으로 나타나 니시노시마 화산 분화가 제주도 및 남 부지방의 미세먼지 수치에 영향을 준 것으로 보인다.

This study focused on using indirect filtration through riverbeds to produce high-quality drinking water. Data on water quality from a water intake facility(capacity 10,000 m3/day) and nearby rivers were collected over a three-year period. The average intake facility specifications were found to be a specific surface area of 58 balls/m2, a mean particle size of 24 mm, an inflow velocity of 2.2 cm/sec, and a burial depth of 5 m. The water quality improvement rate was assessed as grade Ia, surpassing the adjacent river’s water quality. Correlation analysis showed a weak correlation between opening ratio, Suspended Solid (SS), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) compared to total coliforms and fecal coliforms. The correlation coefficient R value of SS was -0.614, BOD was –0.588, total coliforms -0.870, and fecal coliforms -0.958. The R value shows a negative value, which showed that the larger the opening rate, the lower the removal rate of water pollutants. The correlation coefficient R values according to the depth of burial were found to be BOD 0.914, SS-0.124, total coliforms 1.000, and fecal coliforms 0.866. The deeper the burial depth, the higher the removal rate of BOD and microbial groups.

본 연구는 고온 환경에서 사료내 트립토판과 나이아신의 첨가가 산란계의 생산성, 난품질, 지방간 지표 및 혈액성상에 미치는 상호작용 효과를 조사하고자 수행되었다. 총 384수의 25주령 로만 갈색종 산란계를 4처리 8반복으로 반복당 12수씩 무작위 임의 배치하였다. 기본 사료는 트립토판과 나이아신의 추가적인 첨가는 없으며 모든 영양소 및 에너지는 로만갈색종 산란계의 요구량에 충족하거나 초과하도록 배합되었다. 사료 처리구는 2 × 2 요인 실험 설계법으로 두 가지 수준의 트립토판(0 및 0.16%)과 두 가지 수준의 나이아신(0 및 0.03%)이 포함되었다. 모든 산란계의 사양환경은 일반 농가에서 낮시간에 온도가 올라가는 점을 고려하여 일일 중 8시간은 온도 31.4 ± 1.17℃, 습도 86.0 ± 4.28%으로 설정하였으며, 나머지 16시간은 온도 26.7 ± 1.10℃, 습도 61.7 ± 6.34%로 유지하여 주기적인 고온 환경을 조성하였다. 실험은 10주간 진행되었다. 실험 결과 사료내 트립토판과 나이아신의 주요 효과와 상호작용은 나타나지 않았다. 이와 유사하게, 난각 강도, 난각 두께, 난각색, 난황색 및 호우유닛에 대한 상호작용 도 나타나지 않았다. 주요 효과로 0.03%의 나이아신 첨가는 난황색을 유의적으로 감소시켰으나 호우유닛은 유의적으로 증가시켰다. 하지만, 0.16%의 트립토판 첨가는 난품질에 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 지방간 지표와 혈액성상에서 사료내 트립토판과 나이아신의 주요 효과 및 상호작용은 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 설정한 농도의 사료내 트립토판과 나이아신의 첨가는 고온 환경에서 사양되는 산란계의 생산성, 난품질, 지방간 지표 및 혈액성상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다.

본 연구는 산란후기에서 토종닭 산란계(KNH)와 하이라인 브란운 산란계(HBH)의 계란 품질을 비교하기 위해 수행되었다. 각 50마리의 KNH (Korean Rhode C, Korean Leghorn F, KNC Yellowish-brown 및 Korean Rhode D의 4원 교배종)와 HBH를 60~64주령까지 실험 케이지에 분배하였다. 실험 종료 시점에 각 그룹에서 30개의 계란을 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 난중은 KNH그룹에서 HBH그룹보다 통계적으로 낮았다(P < 0.05). 난각과 난백 중량은 KNH그룹이 HBH그룹보다 낮았으나(P < 0.05), 난황 중량은 KNH그룹에서 HBH그룹보다 높게 나타났다(P < 0.05). 난각의 강도와 두께는 KNH그룹에서 HBH그룹보다 낮았다(P < 0.05). 난형지수는 KNH그룹이 HBH그룹보다 높았다(P<0.05). 난황 지수와 색에서는 그룹 간 통계적 차이가 없었다. 종합적으로, 산란후기 KNH의 계란은 HBH의 계란에 비해 낮은 품질을 보였다. 국내 토종닭의 한정된 계통 숫자로 교배조합 측면에서 한계가 있기 때문에 교배종의 유전능력을 최대로 발현하기 위한 사양관리 차원(육종선발, 영양 등)의 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

Recently, with the increasing global demand for Ganoderma lucidum as a material for functional beverages, varieties with enhanced functionality are needed. As part of this effort, 10 strains were selected from a collection of 160 G. lucidum strains, based on their quantity and fruiting body characteristics. These included four strains collected in Korea, three in Japan, and three of unknown origin. Approximately 44% of the 1,290 hybrid strains were secured. After two rounds of bag cultivation in oak sawdust, three strains (G-20-4, G-20-5, and G-20-7) were ultimately selected for single-timbered cultivation. Among these, G-20-4 demonstrated the earliest harvesting with a large size and a bright cap. Additionally, this strain exhibited the highest levels of total glucan, β-glucan, total triterpenoid, total polyphenol, and total flavonoid content.

The Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) is the national accreditation body responsible for providing accreditation services to testing and calibration laboratories. The primary objective of KOLAS is to promote the quality and reliability of laboratory testing by providing nationally and internationally recognized accreditation services. Laboratories accredited by KOLAS are required to meet rigorous international standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are subject to regular assessments to ensure ongoing compliance with the standards. KOLAS accreditation is highly regarded both domestically and internationally, and is recognized for providing high-quality and reliable testing services. The nuclear analysis laboratory at KINAC has been working to establish a quality management system to ensure the external reliability of analytical results and to secure its position as an authorized testing agency. To achieve this, a detailed manual and procedure for nuclear material analysis were developed to conform to the international standards of ISO/IEC 17025. This study presents the preparation process for establishing the management system, focusing on meeting technical and quality requirements for the implementation of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard in the KINAC nuclear analysis laboratory, specifically in the field of chemical testing (dosimetry, radioactive, and neutron measurement subcategories). The preparation process involved two tracks. The first track focused on satisfying technical requirements, with Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer (TIMS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) selected as the major equipment for analysis. Analytical methods for determining isotope ratios and concentrations of nuclear materials were determined, and technical qualification was ensured through participation in proficiency test programs, inter-experimenter comparison tests, and uncertainty reports. The second track focused on developing the quality system, including quality manuals, procedures, and guidelines based on the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. Various implementation documents were produced during the six-month pilot period, in accordance with the three levels of documents required by the standard. Implementation of ISO/IEC 17025 is expected to have a systematic quality management process for the analysis lab’s operations and to increase confidence in KINAC’s nuclear analysis.

Since the National R&D Innovation Act was enacted in 2022, it became a crucial issue how to qualify or improve R&D activities and disseminate their outcomes. Many organizations have referred to various quality management standards such as the American National Standards Institute/American Society for Quality (ANSI/ASQ) Z1.13, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Nuclear Quality Assurance-1 (ASME NQA-1), as a means to set up their own quality system. ISO is the international standard for implementing a quality management system (QMS), which provides a framework and principles for managing an organization’s QMS, with the aim of ensuring that the organization consistently provide products or services that meet regulatory requirements. ISO 9001 can cover all aspects of an organization’s operations, and it can also be expanded to include R&D areas. The introduction of ISO 9001 to R&D aims to improve R&D practices and establish a standardized process framework for conducting R&D. ANSI/ASQ Z1.13 provides quality guidelines for research and consists of 10 sections covering various aspects of research quality, emphasizing ethical conduct, clear objectives, reliable data collection, and analysis. ASME NQA-1 is one of quality assurance standards for nuclear facility applications, but it has been extended and applied to R&D activities in the nuclear fields. It just focuses on planning, procedures, documentation, competence, equipment, and material control. KINAC has conducted extensive research on verifying and regulating nuclear activities while providing support for national nonproliferation technologies and policies. In addition to the quantitative growth achieved so far, efforts are being made to establish a qualitative and integrated management system. As a first step to achieve this goal, this study reviewed international standards and methodologies for research quality and derived the key components for R&D quality management. Moreover, the appropriate outline of quality management system framework was proposed for R&D as a regulatory support process, based on the ISO 9001. The implementation of quality management standards and procedures for R&D in KINAC, which could lead to improved research practices, more reliable data collection and analysis and increased efficiency in conducting R&D activities.

When proliferation activity occurs, states and non-state actors combine various sources of information to gain a better understanding of the situation. The quality of information source, content, and presentation can significantly influence the perception of decision-makers and end users. However, a state’s nuclear or missile activities are almost always classified. Also, states might intentionally reveal information to deter their adversary, threaten their adversary, bolster their prestige in the international community, or a combination of all three. Hence, any revealed information inherently contains some degree of uncertainty regarding its credibility. Lack of credibility makes it difficult for other states or non-state actors to determine how much of the information is accurate and how much is deception. The increase of publicly available information (open-source information) and the development of tools to collect, process, and analyze this information increased the possibilities of using open-source information to cross-check the proliferation claims of states. North Korea is a hermit state that has very little outside interaction. It also has continued to develop and refine its nuclear program. How credible is information released by North Korea? How can scholars/experts compensate for this lack of credibility in information on North Korea’s nuclear activity? This paper seeks to apply a framework on information quality to answer these questions. First, it will briefly explain the factors comprising information quality (sources, content, and presentation). Then, it will apply the information quality framework to North Korean activity analysis. It will conclude with implications of using the information quality framework to analyze a state that is low in accessibility and high uncertainty.

Background: In general, measurement qualities of cross-culturally adapted quality of life (QOL) measures are altered in many aspects, although versions of them are well-validated measures. The latent trait and measurement qualities of the QOL measures for cancer-related samples should be considered when developing cross-culturally adapted measures. Objects: To investigate the latent trait of the translated into Korean World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) administered to different cancer survivors who had palliative rehabilitation care service (PRCS). Methods: A cross-sectional study with 139 cancer survivors who had an experience of cancer survivorship with PRCS were conducted with a two-step analytic procedure including exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to confirm the latent trait and Rasch rating scale modeling to investigate the measurement qualities of the cross-culturally adapted WHOQOL-BREF measure. Results: While the original WHOQOL-BREF measure constitutes a 4-latent trait, the EFA reveals that 24 items constitute six substantial factors. The item loadings are predominantly spread over factors 1 through 4 in a mixed manner of the latent traits, while the loadings of ‘physical health’ and ‘environmental health’ latent traits show similarity to what the original measure intended to assess. The latent trait of the cross-culturally adapted WHOQOL-BREF measure administered to different cancer survivors is likely to reveal more dimensions than the original WHOQOL-BREF measure. Person reliability (i.e., analogous to Cronbach’s alpha) and separation are measured with 0.92 and 3.48, respectively. All items except the one item (medical treatment item) fit the Rasch rating model. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the latent trait and the measurement qualities of the cross-culturally adapted WHOQOL-BREF measure should be taken into consideration when applying versions of it to various populations.

This study measured the biochemical properties, antioxidants, free sugars, organic acids, trigonelin, chlorogenic acids, and caffeine content of coffee prepared using different extraction methods by adding dried apple powder to develop high-quality functional drinks. Espresso had the highest soluble solids content and brownness at 9.17±0.88oBrix and 1.85±0.57. Its organic acid content was higher in the sample groups than in the control group, whereas the espresso group was highest in citric acid at 2184.11±0.01 mg/mL, malic acid at 2181.35±0.03 mg/mL, fumal acid at 40.42± 0.01 mg/mL, lactic acid at 32.04±0.02 mg/mL, and formic acid at 49890 mg/mL. Additionally, it had the highest sucrose, glucose, fructose, and sorbitol contents (p<0.05). In the trigonelin content, the sample groups showed a higher content than the control group, with the order being espresso > mokapot > water drip > frenchpress > sippon > hand drip (p<0.05). In the content of chlorogenic acid and caffeine, the sample groups showed higher content than the control group, with the order of espresso > mokapot > water drip > siphon > frenchpress > hand drip (p<0.05). As a result, espresso was found to be suitable for developing coffee drinks in manufactured coffee with different extraction methods.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens, BSFL) is an environmental purification insect utilized as an animal feed source due to its high protein content. BSFL need to be dried to preserve quality, and the optimal drying method should be cost-effective. In this study, various drying methods (hot air (HD), freeze (FD), vacuum (VD), and combined-drying (CD)) were applied to BSFL, and then BSFL powders were characterized. Crude protein content was highest in HD and lowest in CD, and there was no significant difference in crude fat content (p>0.05). In the measurement of the total amino acid content of BSFL, glutamic acid and aspartic acid were the highest regardless of the drying method. The total amino acid content was the highest in HD and the lowest in CD. Total polyphenol content was higher in VD and FD than in HD and CD. Also, hydrogen peroxide and DPPH radical scavenging showed similar results. In the antioxidant measurement results, VD and FD showed higher antioxidant capacity, but considering cost-effectiveness, HD was the most available method for drying BSFL.

Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food that is fermented soybeans with Rhizopus spp. and contains high-quality protein. In this study, tempeh and yeast were set as independent variables following the central composite design to optimize the nutritional quality and sensory characteristics of high-protein loaf bread added with tempeh. The optimal mixing ratio was calculated through the response surface methodology. The optimal mixing ratio of tempehadded loaf bread was 11.27 g of tempeh and 5.46 g of yeast. A comparative analysis of the quality characteristics between the tempeh-added loaf bread and the control group produced by the optimal recipe showed that tempehadded loaf bread contained higher protein content, lower carbohydrates and fats, and lower calories. Among amino acids, essential amino acids such as aspartic acid, threonine, glycine, alanine, lysine, and histidine were significantly higher in tempeh-added loaf bread. Among fatty acids, butyric acid, capric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, and heptadecanoic acid were significantly higher in tempeh-added loaf bread, while lauric acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid were significantly lower. This study confirmed the suitability of tempeh as an ingredient for protein-enhanced loaf bread and the potential possibility of it being utilized in bakeries.
