Nowadays, real-time devices that provide health care for a companion animal is being developed by IoT technology and its demand such as smart puppy tag is increasing. However, it is difficult for IoT devices of companion animals to process complex nature due to miniaturized hardware and constructive nature. There is a clear limit to custom advanced features like health care implementation. This paper designs an integrated platform with statistical analysis which makes it possible to customized services such as feed production, pharmaceutical production, and health care for each companion animal. Middleware that collects sensor information, customer's spending pattern and information from Social Network Service is also designed by making use of IoT devices which companion animals wear. Furthermore, the paper designed data analyzer which analyzes and refines data from collected information that can be applied to personalized services.

The study was performed to understand the actual vegetation by using the phytosociological method on the Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior community group in Jeju Island. The flora was composed of 48 families, 156 genera, 200 species, 28 varieties, 2 forma or 230 taxa. The Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior community group vegetation was classified into two communities and one association; Erigeron annuus - Conyza sumatrensis, Bromus tectorum - Bidens pilosa, Setaria viridis - Eleusine indica community and Lactuco indicae - Humuletum japonicae association. Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior community group was wide from the coastal areas up to the elevation of 1500 meter on Young sil of Mt. Halla. The highest dominance of the Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior is 345 meter which is located near Seoneheul-ri Jocheon-eup, on the other hand the lowest one is located 1020 meter near Young-sil of Mt. Halla.

Based on the morphologic characteristics of oocysts of the genus Isosporn, we have demonstrated that I. ohioensis is a relatively common Isosporn species in dogs which are resident in Chonbuk province, Korea. The prepatent period of 1. ohioensis was four days. The size of the unsporulated oocysts in fresh stool specimens was $22.9{\;}\times{\;}19.8{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.16). The size of the contracted sporonts was $17.4{\;}\times{\;}16.3{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.061). By 96 hours, sporulation is complete and the ratio of length/width was constant relatively. And the sizes of oocysts and sporocysts were $22.8{\;}\times{\;}20.5{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.11) and $15.0{\;}\times{\;}10.8{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.39), respectively. At this time it is most reliable for the measurements of oocyst sizes of 1. ohioensis to provide with the identifiable clues against the others. It is therefore recommended that the clinical fecal specimens suspected of isosporosis should first be incubated and aerated for 96 hours before a definitive parasitological diagnosis can be reached. These and other observations contribute to the understanding of the biological characteristics and laboratory and clinical diagnosis of isosporosis.

지구상에 서식하고 있는 포유강(Class: Mammalia), 박쥐목(Order: Chiroptera)에 속하는 박쥐류는 1,000여종에 이르는 것으로 알려졌으며, 포유류 중에서 1/4을 차지하고 있으며, 그 2/3는 곤충류를 포식하는 식충성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라에 서식하고 있는 박쥐류는 관박쥐과(Family:Rhinolophidae) 2종, 애기박쥐과(Family: Vespertilionidae) 28종, 큰귀박쥐과(Family: Molossidae) 1종으로서 총 31종이며, 모두 식충성 동물이다. 흡충류라고 하는 것은 편형동물문에 속하는 기생성 동물의 한 군으로서, 항온동물의 장이나 그 밖에 조직에 기생하는 것은 모두 하나 또는 두개 이상의 중간숙주를 필요로 하는 이생 흡충이다. 제1중간숙주는 고둥이지만 제2중간숙주는 여러 가지 변온동물로서 그 대부분은 생활사에 있어서 수서 생활을 하는 시기가 있는 것에 한정되지만 이는 제1중간숙주의 체내에서 형성된 꼬리유충이라고 하는 흡충류의 유생이 보통 물 속을 헤엄쳐 다니다가 제2중간숙주에 침입하게 된다. 박쥐류는 여러 가지 땅강아지나 개똥벌레를 포식하기 때문에 이들 유생이 물 속에서 흡충류의 피낭유충에 감염되었을 경우 박쥐류가 흡충류의 종숙주로서 적합하면 그 체내에서 피낭유충이 장에서 탈랑하여 드디어 성충으로 된다. 만일, 감염된 수서 곤충의 유생이 우화되면 그 유생 시대에 감염된 피낭유충이 그 숙주의 변태와는 상관없이 그 기생이 이어져 적당한 종숙주에게 섭취되기를 기다리게 된다. 우리나라에 있어서 박쥐류에 기생하는 흡충류에 관한 조사 연구는 일찌기 도쿄문리과 대학 동물학 연구실의 Ogata(1938)에 의하여 이루어진 이래 경성제국대학 의학부의 Park(1939a,b)과 후쿠오까대학 의학부의 Kifune et al.(1983, 1997)이 있을 뿐 우리나라 학자에 의한 연구 보고는 접할 수 없는 형편이다. 그럼으로, 우리나라 학자도 이에 관한 더욱 더 깊은 관심을 가져야할 것으로 생각하는 바 이에 지금까지 보고된 자료를 종합, 검토하여 기술하고자 한다.

The cumulative registration status of dogs is from 1.07 million in 2016 to 2.32 million in 2020. Animal registration is increasing by more than 10% every year, and accordingly, a name must be decided when registering a dog. We want to give a name that fits the characteristics of a dog's appearance, but there are many difficulties in naming it. This paper explains the development of a system for recognizing dog images and recommends dog names based on similar objects or food. This system extracts similarities with dogs' images through models that learn images of various objects and foods, and recommends dog names based on similarities. In addition, by recommending additional related words based on the image data of the result value, it was possible to provide users with various options, increase convenience, and increase interest and fun. Through this system, it is expected that users will be able to solve their concerns about naming their dogs, check names that suit their dogs comfortably, and give them various options through various recommended names to increase satisfaction.

A 7-year-old dog weighing 3.9 kg visited the hospital with symptoms of inability to stand and quadriparesis. There were seizure symptoms 2 months before admission to the hospital, and the symptoms of stiffness and rigidity appeared. Radiographs showed normal vertebrae in cervical vertebral column. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) were performed immediately to diagnose vertebral lameness. As a result of the CT, it was possible to observe the fracture of the odontoid process of the axis, and the exact location of the damage was identified. The odontoid process was fractured and separated from the body of the 2^nd cervical vertebra (axis), and fragment of the process was observed inside the vertebral arch of the first cervical vertebra (atlas), and the body of the axis was lifted to the dorsal side. The MRI examination reflected the CT findings and confirmed severe spinal cord compression due to the fracture of the odontoid process. The patient was applied by neck brace and medical management including Mycophenolate mofetil administration was performed. The patient was able to move legs and tail after 2 weeks, and was able to voluntarily defecate, urinate and stand up after 4 weeks of administration.

Mushroom-based vegan meat has thus far been used as a food for humans instead of pets. However, based on its texture and nutritional content, it is considered suitable for processing into pet treats. In the present study, we developed a prototype dog chew with a sweetening coating added to a fungal mycelium mat obtained by culturing the Basidiomycetous fungus Trametes orientalis. The palatable coating applied to the mycelium mat by plasticizing the mat with glycerol improved the taste and aroma of the existing mat, and the dog consumed it without difficulty. Future improvements may include a softening process to reduce the chewiness level and a procedure to reduce the crude fiber content. Mycelium-mat-based dog chews, manufactured using eco-friendly materials and processes that are not harmful to the environment are expected to enter the market as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional pet treats. Controlling their physical properties require further study.

Sector scanner which has a conical end is used to image through the intercostal space because heart is protected by the ribs. Cardiac data published all around the world were also obtained by sector scanner. Although scanners being used in every small animal practice and animal hospital at college in Korea include convex ape and linear type, linear type is not appropriate f3r cardiac scan because of a wide contact surface. The purpose of this study is to establish ultrasonographic images of normal cardiac structures by measuring shape, size of reflectable cardiac structure according to restraint position in scanning normal heart of the puppies with 6.5 MHz convex scanner(SonoAce 4500, Medison, Korea) used in our veterinary teaching hospital, Seoul national university. Seventeen male and female puppies considered having healthy hear by X-ray and clinical examination are used feom April to July 1994. Scanning point selection of probe head and the distinction of imaged cardiac structures were accomplished by necropsy and cardiac scanning performed through thoracotomy under general anesthesia. At 10 o'clock position of transducer(at an angle of 30$^{\circ}$ between imaginary line from elbow joint to 3rd sternum and probe head, 60$^{\circ}$ from body surface, 4th intercostal space of right thorax) with the marker of scanner toward the head of dogs right atrium, left atrium and left ventricle were observed in 2, 3, 4, 5 intercostal space(2cm from the sternum) of experimental dog positioned ventrodorsally under general anesthesia. Under these conditions, the numerical values of imaged diastolic hear are as follows : the distance from skin to apex(mean$\pm$S.D) 47.53$\pm$6.94mm, thickness of left ventricular wall 6.00$\pm$1.60mm, length of left ventricle 16.27$\pm$5.31mm, width of left ventricle 15,33$\pm$4.25mm, length of left atrium 12.33$\pm$3.82mm, width of left atrium 11. 33$\pm$3.94mm, length of right atrium 1.00$\pm$2.41mm, width of right atrium 11.21$\pm$2.76mm and the area of left ventricle 270.92$\pm$109.81mm$^2$, area of left atrium 98.00$\pm$41.08mm$^2$, area of right atrium 62.75$\pm$21.04mm$^2$.
