In this study, clustering analysis was performed to find out the influence of the maturity level of Industry 4.0 of SMEs in Korea, index factors of clustering, and major factors on the self-evaluation of companies. When 80 domestic SMEs were classified into 4 categories, it was found that there was a significant positive correlation between process, technology and organization. In addition, the majority of the 80 companies tested according to the maturity model appear to be immature or partially mature, and many improvements and re-evaluation of innovation strategies related to Industry 4.0 are needed. Finally, it was concluded that the Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index is suitable for conducting self-assessment in domestic SMEs. These conclusions can serve as useful maturity and grouping guidelines for practitioners and researchers.

먹넌출은 국내에서 안면도에서만 자생하는 희귀식물로, 항산화, 미백, 항암 효능이 밝혀져 유용식물자원으로의 활용이 기대되나 IUCN(세계자연보전연맹) 기준 취약종(VU)으로 분류되어 생명자원의 현지 내, 현지외 보존 필요성이 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 먹넌출의 종자를 이용한 보존과 증식을 위해 기초자료를 확보하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 열매의 성숙도에 따른 형태적 특성과 활력 차이를 비교하고, 종자의 발아 조건 구명을 위해 휴면 종류와 발아 적온을 조사하였다. 먼저 열매 성숙도에 따른 형태적 특성과 활력 조사 결과, 열매가 부분적으로 성숙한 적색 단계는 완전히 성숙한 흑색 단계와 비교하여 종자 무게와 배길이에서 차이가 거의 나타나지 않았고 충실도가 80%, 충실 종자의 활력이 100%로 나타났다. 따라서 종자 채취 시 열매가 흑색으로 성숙하여 떨어지기 전인 적색 단계에서 채취하여도 종자를 이용한 증식에 문제가 없을 것으로 보인다. 또한 먹넌출 종자는 딱딱한 과피로 덮여있지만 수분 흡수를 가능하게 하는 조직을 가지고 있어 물리적 휴면에 해당하지 않았으나 생리적 휴면을 가지고 있었으며, 휴면 타파에는 GA3 1000ppm 처리가 가장 효과적이었다. 또한 발아 온도는 10℃ 12시간, 20℃ 12시간인 변온 조건에서 가장 높은 발아율을 보였다. 본 결과를 먹넌출 종자 수집과 증식에 참고 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study was carried out to determine the changes of chlorophyll contents in spinach during growth stages and storage with two packaging materials. The chlorophyll contents increased to a maximum level in the spinach leaves after 35 days of planting, while the level in the roots extremely decreased and that in the stems did not change during the growth period. The total chlorophyll content was higher in the leaves than that in the stems and roots. The ratios of chlorophyll a/b in the leaves and stems were almost similar to those reported for spinach elsewhere. When stored for 1, 3, and 5 days without packaging, the remaining percentage of chlorophyll was $96.29\%,\;90.79\%\;and\;85.74\%$, respectively, at $5^{\circ}C,\;and\;82.75,\;44.63,\;33.07\%$, respectively, at $20^{\circ}C$. The chlorophyll contents of the spinach stored in polyethylene bags were significantly higher than of that those without packaging and of that packaged with newspaper during storage. From the results, it was found that spinach packaged in polyethylene bags suppressed the degradation of chlorophyll and maintained the freshness during low temperature storage and that the chlorophyll contents increased during the growth period.

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a major hormone of pineal gland in vertebrates, is known to be associated with regulation of the dynamic physiological functions in general and has some functions on reproduction in the ovarian follicles in particular. And its antioxidant properties as a scavenger are also reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin on the in vitro maturation of mouse germinal vesicle (GV)-stage oocytes. Oocyte maturation, apoptosis, and mRNA expression of melatonin receptor were analyzed in the cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (CEOs) cultured with melatonin for 18 h. The CEOs were obtained from 3 wk-old ICR female mice cultured in media with 0, 0.1 nM, 10 nM, or 1,000 nM melatonin for 18 h. And then the extrusion of the first polar body was assessed to evaluate the maturation rate. The apoptosis and mRNA expression of melatonin receptor (Mtnr1-a and Mtnr1-b) in cumulus cells of each group were measured by TUNEL assay, ELISA, and real time RT-PCR after in vitro maturation(IVM). The addition of melatonin in the IVM medium significantly improved nuclear maturation of the mouse GV oocytes and the highest maturation rate were obtained from the group treated with 1,000 nM melatonin. Apoptosis was not detected in IVM oocytes, but detected in cumulus cells. And cumulus cells treated with 1,000 nM melatonin exhibited significantly lower apoptosis. In the group treated with 1,000 nM melatonin, the expression of melatonin receptor mRNA was decreased in CEOs. In conclusion, melatonin has a potentially important role for regulating oocyte maturation and reduces the apoptosis of cumulus cells in vitro.

This study were carried out to evaluate the possibility of nuclear progression of canine immature oocytes, of which was cultured in a reproductive tract, such as oviduct, ovarian bursa and uterus of estrus bitch for 4, 5 and 6 days following immediately collection. Cumulus intact oocytes(COC) fore collected from domestic dog following ovariohysterectomy at local veterinary clinics. In Exp. 1, COCs $of>110\;{\mu}m$ diameter were selected and cultured in vitro at $39^{\circ}C$, $5\%\;CO\_{2} $ in air atmosphere. The nuclear progression of canine oocytes checked at 24, 48 or 72 h after in vitro maturation. There was not increased the nuclear progression to the M II stage depending on culture periods at 24, 48 and 72h $(1.3\%,\;3.7\%\;and\;4.7\%)$. In Exp. 2, to evaluate of nuclear progression of immature oocytes, collected or in vitro cultured oocytes were transfer into a canine reproductive tract (oviduct, ovarian bursa and uterus). The recovery rates of canine oocytes from a reproductive tract after 4 days $(33.7\%)$ in vivo culture were significantly higher than those 5 $(17.7\%)$ 6 day $(3.4\%)$ (P<0.05). The survival rates of collected oocytes after 4 days $(60.0\%)$ were also significantly higher than those of 5 days $(30.2\%)$ and 6 days $(38.9\%)$ (P<0.05). The meiotic resumption rates of canine oocytes were not significantly difference among the culture periods at 4 days $(5.9\%)$, 5 days $(0.0\%)$ and 6 days $(0.0\%)$. These results show that the nuclear progression of canine immature oocytes from in in vivo culture was not affect the nuclear resumption of oocytes.

The current study examined the relationships between task-approach skills of optimism, bearability, intolerance of uncertainty, career identity, career maturity, career barriers, and career aspiration. Data was collected from two-hundred sixty nine college students who matriculated in colleges located in Seoul, Gyeoungi and Chungchung provinces in Korea. The correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were carried out to explore the relationship among the variables mentioned above. The results of this study were as follows: First, career identity was positively correlated with career maturity, aspiration and negatively with career barrier. optimism was negatively correlated with career barrier. in addition, intolerance of uncertanity was positively correlated with career maturity. and negatively with career barriers. Second, multiple linear regression revealed that career identity, optimism and lacking intolerance of uncertanity significantly influenced career maturity, career identity, optimism and intolerance of uncertanity significantly influnced career barriers. In addition, only optimism influnced career aspiration. These findings implied that career counselors need to assist clients developing optimism, flexibility, bearability and counselors should be aware of the effect of task-approach skills on career, barriers, and aspiration. Further discussions regarding results are included.

The gonadosomatic index (GSI), fatness, ovarian development, first sexual maturity, and fecundity of the Korean anchovy Coilia nasus were investigated by histological observations and morphometric analysis from January to December, 2007. The GSI and fatness began to increase in February, and reached the maximum in June when the ovary was getting mature and spawning occurred. Thereafter these parametes rapidly decreased in July when spawning occurred. Therefore, monthly changes in the GSI and fatness were closely related to ovarian maturation and spawning. The duration of ovarian development in females can be classified into five successive stages: early growing stage (February to March), late growing stage (March to April), mature stage (May to June), ripe and spent stage (June to July), and recovery and resting stage (December to January). Maturation and spawning of this species occurred between June and July during the period of high seawater temperature-long day length. Percentages of first sexual maturity in female individuals were over 50% for fish ranging 24.1 to 27.0 cm in total length, and 100% for fish over 30.1 cm in total length. The number of total eggs and mature eggs in the absolute fecundity were increased with the increase of total length and body weight, respectively. The number of total eggs and mature eggs in relative fecundity were also proportional to total length, but rather these numbers decreased in the maximum body weight (126.0${\sim}$150.0 g).

The aim of this study was to analyze antioxidant activity, total phenolics, and vitamin C content in unripe and ripe jujube cultivar and to investigate correlation between antioxidant and chemical constituents including total phenolics and vitamin C. The antioxidant activity was measured by the DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and reducing power. Although, the weight, diameter and soluble solids of Zyziphus jujuba fruit were increased with the progress of ripening, antioxidant activity and total phenolics were decrease during ripening. The highest free-radical scavenging activity (at 2.5 ㎎/㎖) and reducing power (at 1 ㎎/㎖) in fruit were 81.75% (Bokjo, unripe) and 0.80 (Mudeung, unripe), respectively. The highest total phenolic content in unripe fruit of Mudeung was 62.50 ㎍/g. A linear correlation (r=0.911) was shown between DPPH radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of career experiential learning and parental support on career maturity of high school students. The number of subjects for this study was 290 high school students. The results are as follows. First, the effects of attitude in career maturity were higher for students with communication, field trip and visiting, and field experience in career experiential learning. However, career planning did not have any correlation with field experience types of attitude in career maturity. The effect of competency in career maturity was positively correlated with student experience with theory, communication, and field trip and visiting in career experiential learning. Second, parental support showed a significant positive correlation with all factors of career maturity. Third, results identify career maturity impacts on career experiential learning. The types of communication as well as field trip and visiting significantly affected all components of career maturity. The type of theory was a factor affecting competency. In addition, the results reveal the impact of parental support on the career maturity. Emotional support had a significant influence on all factors for career maturity, except for career exploration. Informative support was found to have a significant influence on career planning, career independency and career exploration. Financial support had a significant influence on occupational attitude, career independency and career exploration.
