Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) is the rate-limiting enzyme in biosynthesis of cholesterol in animals. In this study, inhibitory effects of isoflavone glycosides on HMG-CoA reductase were investigated. At sample concentration of $100{\mu}M$, genistein-7-O-triglucoside (G2-genistin) inhibited HMG-CoA reductase activity by approximately 18%, whereas daidzein-7-O-triglucoside had no inhibitory effect. In the kinetic experiments with Syrian hamster HMG-CoA reductase, G2-genistin showed inhibitory efficacy with an invariable $V_{max}$ value, suggesting that G2-genistin works as a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase and has potential for hypocholesterolemic action through direct regulation of HMG-CoA reductase.

International interests in chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been increased recently because of the use of sarin (GB) in Syrian civil war which caused around 1,300 casualties in 2013. After exposing to natural environments, CWAs undergo hydrolysis or photodegrade to non-toxic degradation byproducts. Generally, CWAs and their degradation byproducts are present at very low concentration (e.g. several ppb), thus pretreatment processes including separation, extraction and concentration are required prior to any analyses. Liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction (SPE) are common techniques to pretreat environmental samples. Recently, a novel pretreatment method, liquid phase miecoextraction (LPME), has been applied to CWAs analysis, which could reduce amounts of solvent used but promote analytical efficiencies. Fundamental backgrounds of LPME and its application to CWAs analysis were reviewed.

Since the Syrian Civil War in 2011, the number of refugees has been on the rise in Korea as well as worldwide. In addition to recognition of legal status for refugees, employment and education support, and qualification recognition are emerging as social issues. In this context, this study aims to compare the cases of Netherlands and Norway in terms of evaluation and recognition of refugees' qualifications. The findings of the study show that although there were concerns about the lack of official documents to verify the qualifications of refugees, the two countries have developed a special process for the evaluation and recognition for refugees respectively according to the Lisbon Recognition Convention. In addition, both countries have developed a recognition of prior learning system which has made the qualification recognition process flexible from a point of refugees. These experiences could be used as benchmarks for the Korean government which has a responsibility to develop its own qualification recognition system for refugees in the near future.

병아리콩은 두류 중 콩, 땅콩, 강낭콩, 완두 다음으로 중요한 작물로 chickpea, garbanzo bean 이라고도 불리며, 원산지는 터키 동남부와 시리아로 알려져 있다. 병아리콩은 전세계 50개국 이상에서 재배되며, 인도에서 전세계 생산량의 66%가 재배되고 있다. 병아리콩은 Desi (microsperma)와 Kabuli (macrosperma)의 두가지 형태로 구분된다, Desi형은 꽃색이 분홍색, 종피가 두껍고 종피색이 유색이 특징, Kabuli형은 백색꽃에, 백색이나 미색 종피 양머리 종자형태를 보인다. Desi 형은 아시아와 아프리카, Kabuli 형은 서아시아, 북아프리카, 남미와 유럽 등지에서 주로 재배된다. 본 연구에서는 인도, 미얀마, 우즈벡, 조지아, 불가리아, 우크라이나 등 6개국에서 수집한 자원의 농업형질을 평가하고 비교하여 활용을 위한 정보를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 꽃색의 분포는 분홍색이 백색보다 2배 많았으며 조지아, 인도와 미얀마 수집 자원은 80% 이상이 분홍색, 우크라이나, 우즈베키스탄에서는 백색이 최소 75%이상으로 조사되었다. 소엽의 크기는 종자의 크기와 밀접한 관련이 있으며 인도와 미얀마, 불가리아에서는 소립종, 조지아, 우크라이나에서는 중립종의 비율이 높았다. 개화기는 6월 상중순에 집중되었으며 인도와 미얀마 수집자원의 개화기가 6월 상순 이전으로 빠르고 우크라이나 자원이 6월 하순과 7월 상순으로 늦은 경향을 보였다. 올해는 6월 중순부터 지속된 강우로 개화 후 정상적인 결실이 어려웠으나 6월 하순부터 성숙하기 시작하였고, 인도와 미얀마 수집자원은 주로 7월 상순에 나머지 수집 국가들은 7월 하순 이후에 성숙하였다. 올해의 기상이변으로 보다 정확한 평가를 위하여 차년도에 재평가를 수행하고자 하나 올해의 양적, 질적 형질의 경향치를 이용하여 수집국간의 농업형질을 비교하고, 식품소재의 다양화 다변화 추세에 맞추어 도입작물 활용을 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다.

Recently the Japanese hostage crisis with Syria, the stake of the pilots IS of the terror group's affiliates like Kim incident occurred while urinarado IS not an exception anymore in connection with terrorism will not be able to do. In addition, particularly against terrorist groups worldwide, IS being a hero has been marginalized and wants uncritical drugs aimed at teens, such as dialog or game IS through SNS joined nationals as well as other countries, while recommending domestic complaints until the people power or luck, put the older brother can sign up for any terror group IS the terrorist group's terrorist acts while making the environment a national mark by foreigners or immigrants can be caused by the situation. Therefore, in this study, this IS serious for the terrorist acts of the terrorist group, IS due to the expansion of the domestic terrorist group caused the terror raids of about the dangers of foreign countries to review the case, and the incident has sought ways to prevent and respond to the rapporteur. The result IS due to the expansion of the domestic terrorist group caused the terror raids of the dangers of sex exists and that causes a response to the implements are as follows. First of all, IS brokering for the site of the terrorist group's approach to counter-terrorism Act will be a, and the next, each agency and terror for the information exchange and cooperation and serves as a reexamination of terror occurred through the quick and appropriate measures should be the language. Finally, the duties related to terrorism for teens, especially education and strengthen the safety program development and against terrorism should be carried out.
