The changes of yeast population were investigated in Mul-kimchi containing 3% salt, fermented at $15^{\circ}C$. The total viable count increased to the maximum at the optimum ripening period and then decreased rapidly. Among twenty-nine strains isolated at the optimum ripening period, the yeasts of genus Saccharomyces were predominant. The growth of five strains, Saccharomyces saitoanus Y17, Saccharomyces capensis Y29, Saccharomyces chevalieri Y13, Kluyveromyces fragilis Y2, Torulopsis candida Y9, was measured in mixed culture with each selected lactic strains, hctobaczllus plantarum Lp2, Pedzococcus pentosaceus PI, Leuconostoc mesenteroides Lu5. The results indicated that all the yeasts tested were inhibited significantly by lactic strains, however the sensitivity of yeast strains varied greatly.

Ginseng are native traditional herbs, which exhibit excellent pharmacological activities. Probiotic Lactobacillus helveticus KII13 and Pediococcus pentosaceus strain KID7 were used for ginsenoside transformation by fermenting crude ginseng extract to enhance minor gisenoside content. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis of fermented ginseng extract showed that the minor ginsenosides Rg3, Rh1, and Rh2 were main products after 5 days of fermentation. HPLC analysis was performed to quantify the major and minor ginsenosides. The Rg3 peak appeared on the 3rd day while the appearance of Rh2 peak and Rh1 peak were observed on the 5th day. The co-culture of L. helveticus KII13 and P. pentosaceus KID7 converted major ginsenosides (Rb1 and Rg1) into minor ginsenosides (Rg3, Rh2, and Rh1).

This study was conducted to clarify the breeding ecology of tits Parus spp. used artificial nest boxes in a deciduous forest at the Ansung Campus, Chung-Ang University from March through July, 2006 to 2010. Varied tit Parus varius, marsh tit P. palustris and great tit P. major bred in artificial nest boxes during our study period. There were no differences in number of breeding bird pairs among different entrance diameters of artificial nest boxes. The number of breeding pairs of great tits was the most highest among tits and that of varied tits was the least. Great tits mainly used 40 mm and 35 mm artificial nest box entrance diameter and marsh tits preferred 30 mm entrance diameter. In three tits species, there were differences in first egg date, clutch size, brood size, egg incubation period, nestling care period and breeding success among study years. It is needed the study on long-term ecological research about breeding ecology of tits related with habitat conditions.

Most of the red ginseng (RG) products contain active substances derived from hot water or alcohol extraction. Since active substances of RG are divided into two types - water-soluble and liposoluble - water or alcohol is needed as an extraction solvent and this leads the different extraction yields and components of the active substances. To overcome the limit, whole red ginseng powder can be used and consumed by consumers. In this study, the physicochemical properties and extractable active substance contents of variable-sized RG powder ($158.00{\mu}m$, $8.45{\mu}m$, and $6.33{\mu}m$) were analyzed, and dispersion stability was measured to investigate the suitable size of RG powder for industrial processing. In the results, no significant difference was found from the changes in color intensity and thiobarbutric acid tests at $4^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, and $40^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. There was no significant difference on the production of antioxidants and ginsenoside among the samples (p>0.05). In dispersion stability, $RG-158.00{\mu}m$ was precipitated immediately, and the dispersion stabilities between $RG-8.45{\mu}m$ and $RG-6.33{\mu}m$ showed no significant difference. It implies that fine RG is suitable for the production process. With further study, it seemed that the physicochemical effects of RG particle sizes can be clearly revealed.

Poliovirus, coxsackievirus, and ecovirus isolates from environmental sources were compared with laboratory strains to determine their removal rate in the water treatment process. The recovery efficiencies of poliovirus, coxsackievirus and echovirus using positive strains ranged from $72{\sim}108%$. Regarding virus removal efficiency in water treatment of pilot-plants, about 99% of all of the viruses were removed in the sedimentation step and 100% of viruses were clearly removed through post-ozonation and BAC filteration. Using six cell lines tested viral sensitivity in cell line and showed different sensitivity as viruses. Polioviruses showed higher sensitivity in the BGMK cell line than other cells, and coxsackieviruses were detected in higher level in the BGMK and Vero cell lines. On the other hand, the RD cell line was useful in the isolation of ecoviruses.

Sericulture is a main insect industry in Sangju (Kyungpook, Korea). This study reports an occurrence of a viral disease in the sericulture farms in 2020. More than 20% silkworm larvae (Bombyx mori) suffered diarrhea and melted tissues with pathogenic lethality at 4th or 5th instars. PCR diagnosis showed a positive response against B. mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) infection. Tissue extract of the infected larvae was applied to healthy larvae by a leaf-dipping method and exhibited the same viral symptoms. The viral extract was used to be overlaid on Sf9 cells. The infected Sf9 cells showed polyhedra in the cytoplasm. These results indicate that the silkworm larvae reared in the sericulture farms in Sangju were infected with BmNPV.

Entomopathogenic fungi can be used to control a variety of sucking and chewing insects, with little effect on beneficial insects and natural enemies. Approximately 170 entomopathogenic fungal insecticides have been registered and used worldwide, with the recent focus being on the mode of action and mechanism of insect-fungal interactions. During the initial period of research and development, the industrialization of entomopathogenic fungi focused on the selection of strains with high virulence. However, improvement in productivity, including securing resistance to environmental stressors, is a major issue that needs to be solved. Although conidia are the primary application propagules, efforts are being made to overcome the limitations of blastospores to improve the economic feasibility of the production procedure. Fungal transformation is also being conducted to enhance insecticidal activity, and molecular biology is being used to investigate functions of various genes. In the fungi-based pest management market, global companies are setting up cooperative platforms with specialized biological companies in the form of M&As or partnerships with the aim of implementing a tank-mix strategy by combining chemical pesticides and entomopathogenic fungi. In this regard, understanding insect ecology in the field helps in providing more effective fungal applications in pest management, which can be used complementary to chemicals. In the future, when fungal applications are combined with digital farming technology, above-ground applications to control leaf-dwelling pests will be more effective. Therefore, for practical industrialization, it is necessary to secure clear research data on intellectual property rights.

1. 서론 o 연구배경 05년 4월에는 생손보 공통의 신체장해분류표 개정시행 및 표준약관개정이 있었으며 05년도까지는 어떤 형태로든지 장애인차별금지법안이 입법화될 것이라고 한다. 따라서 장애인의 보험이 거절되었을 경우 입증책임은 보험회사에 있게 될 것이다. 생명보험업계로서는 공 통 인수지침마련을 통해 민원소지 최소화를 위해 노력했으나 오히려 장애인차별이라는 비난을 받게 되었다. 이에 개정신체장해분류표에 대한 연구 및 언더라이팅적 시각에서의 개선방안 모색이 필요하게 되었다. o 연구방향 신체장해제도는 보험회사 뿐만 아니라 각종 법규 및 정부기관에서 다양하게 운영되고 있다. 이들에 대한 연구 및 특히 보험청약시에 주로 접하게 되는 복지장애(장애인복지법하(下))에 대해 주로 연구하여 이와 개정신체장해분류표를 비교분석 하도록 한다. 그리고 개정신체장해분류표에서 향후에 발생가능한 문제에 대해 업계경험을 토대로 개선점을 강구하도록 한다. 2. 신체장애등급의 이론적 배경 o 신체장애제도의 종류 o 국내법상의 신체장애제도 o 신체장애평가제도 근거법규 o 해외주요국의 신체장애평가제도 3. 우리나라의 장애보장제도 현황 o 국가장애등급과 생명보험 실제지급경험의 연구를 통해 신체장해비교를 통해 장애1급의 주요원인이 질병원인에 있으며 재해원인은 상대적으로 낮은 수준을 보이고 있다. 특히 질병장애의 경우 05년 3월까지 등록된 복지장애에서보다 생명 보험 지급경험에서 훨씬 높은 비율을 나타내고 있음이 05년$1{\sim}5$월 생명보험 장애1급 지급 건의 연구결과 나타났다. 문제는 복지장애와 생명보험약관상의 신체장애의 평가기준이 상이하여 등급간 정도와 신체장해물의 정도의 비교에 표준화된 이론적 근거나 tool이 없다는 것이다. 이에 대해 외국사의 경우에는 장애의 결과보다는 원인질병에 의거하여 그에 따른 후유장애로 나뉘어 인수지침을 두고 있다. o 우리나라의 신체장해 평가방법을 보면 각종 법규나 정부기관에서 사용하는 평가방법을 포함하여 대략 신체장애등급방식과 신체장해율 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 복지장애는 독자적인 신체장애등급방식으로 장애를 평가하고 있으며 생명보험약관은 05넌4월개정시부터 손해보험의 장기보험에서 기(旣)시행중인 신체장해율방식을 쓰고 있으며 이는 미국의 A.M.A법에 근간을 두고 있다. 상호간의 판정기준이 상이한 상황에서 언더라이팅은 장애의 원인은 고려되지 않은 결과물에 해당되는 신체장해율표만 가지고 인수지침을 세우기 어려우므로 A.M.A법에 대한 연구가 필요할 것이다. 또한 손해보험경험에서 이미 문제로 대두되고 있는 한시장해와 기타 제도적 개선방향을 모색해야 할 것이다. 4. 결론 우리나라에서 운영되고 있는 장해는 원인에 대한 고려나 선천성과 후천성의 구별이 없이 운영되고 있다. 또한 신체장해 평가기준이 너무나 다양하게 운영되고 있어서 기초통계축적에도 어려움이 많다. 보험회사의 사회적 책임의 한계도 존재한다. 따라서 장해의 결과보다는 원인에 대한 연구가 더욱 필요할 것이며 이에 대한 국민의 관심 및 공감대형성이 필요할 것이다.
