The growth inhibition by nisin-Producing lactococci against Bacillus subtilis and its application to doenjang fermentation were investigated. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IFO 12007, L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 7962 and L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454 were used as nisin-producing lactococci. All of three strain rapidly proliferated to more than 10$^{9}$ CFU/g in steamed soybeans. Only L. lactis subsp. lactis IFO 12007 was in steamed soybean without any pH decrease. In spite of the mild decrease in pH, the growth of B. subtilis was completely inhibited; no living cells were detected in a soybean sample inoculated with 10$^{6}$ CFU/g and incubated for 24 to 72h. The L. lactis subsp. lactis IFO 12007 was applied to doenjang fermentation as a starter culture. It produced high nisin activity in steamed soybean, resulting in the complete growth inhibition of B. subtilis, which had been inoculated at the beginning of the meju fermentation, throughout the process of doenjang production. Over-acidification, which is undesirable for doenjang quality, was successfully prevented simply by adding salt which killed the salt-intolerant L. lactis subsp. lactis IFO 12007. Furthermore, the nisin activity in doenjang disappeared with aging.

This study is a retrospective and descriptive research to identify the factors affecting development of spontaneous abortion in women of childbearing age. The subjects totaled 198 females aged 20~45 who had experienced childbirth or spontaneous abortion at least once, and data was collected for one month since July 2019 through self-reporting questionnaires. The results showed that the factors affecting development of spontaneous abortion were use of panty liners (daily: reference, 1~2 times a week: B=-1.74, no: B=-0.77) and antimicrobials (often or a lot: reference, small or normal: B=-0.71, no: B=0.79), occupational groups (inoccupation: reference, service industry employee: B=0.73, white collar: B=1.22, professional: B=0.63, manager: B=1.54), and exposure-risk behavior toward endocrine-disrupting chemicals (B=0.81) during pregnancy, and their explanatory power for development of spontaneous abortion was 24.4% (R²=.24). As a result, it is necessary to prevent endocrine-disrupting chemicals exposure and pay attention to the occupational environment during pregnancy in order to reduce the development of spontaneous abortion.

In order to investigate the effect of feeding browses on the incidence of abortion in pregnant Korean native female goats, 20 pregnant does(3${\sim}$4 month) were used as experimental animal and they grouped 4 treatments with 5 heads according to experimental diets. Each group was fed pine browse, pine browse silage, fermented pine browse, or oak browse silage. Browses intake a day was 0.36kg for oak browse silage, 0.28kg for pine browse, 0.24kg for pine browse silage, and 0.14kg for fermented pine browse. Salmonella and Fungi were not found in pine browses but they were found in oak browse silage in the amount of 7.93${\times}$$10^3$ and 11.1${\times}$$10^1$ cfu/g, respectively. E. Coliwas found 11.67${\times}$$10^1$cfu/g in oak browse silage. The incidence of abortion was 60% for fermented pine browse, 40% for pine browse silage, and 20% for pine browse feeding. Abortion did not occur by feeding oak browse silage. Progesterone concentration was similar each other regardless of normal delivery or abortion at delivery day but the concentration of estradiol was higher for normal delivery, concentration of cortisol was decreased until the delivery day in normal but increased in abortion does. The results were suggested.

Fourteen healthy volunteers ranged in ages from 20 to 30 were served to administrate two types of yoghurt (2 bottles/day) such as one added uncapsulated-Bifidobacteria (Y-UCB) and the other added capsulated-Bifdobacteria (Y-CB) for 4 weeks, and the changes of intestinal microflora and fecal properties were studied. After administration of Y-UCB, the viable cell counts of fecal Bifidobacteria (p<0.01) and Lactobacilli (p<0.05) were significantly increased, however, fecal pH, moisture content and tile viable cell counts of coliform bacteria in feces were not changed when they were compared to those before administration (control). After administration of Y-CB, the viable cell counts of Bifidobacteria were significantly increased (p<0.01) and viable cell counts of coliform bacteria were significantly decreased (p<0.05), however, fecal pH, moisture content, and viable cell counts of Lactobacilli were not changed when they were compared to those before administration. High level of fecal Bifidobacteria and low pH were maintained after 2 weeks from ceasing the administration of both types of yoghurt when they were compared to those before administration. In conclusion, there were not significant differences between two types, Y-CB and Y-UCB in the changes of fecal pH, moisture content, and the viable cell counts of Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli, coliform bacteria after the administration.

본 논문에서는 최근 서해안 지역을 중심으로 활발히 건설이 진행되고 있는 세 곳의 조류 탐사관의 건축 및 전시 디자인의 특징을 조사하였다. 조류탐사관은 그 전시물의 내용상 자연사 박물관에 가까운 형식을 갖는다. 그러나 주로 조류의 관찰과 생태에 그 초점을 두는 전문화된 전시관이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 조류 탐사 시설은 최근의 지역주의와 관광 자원 개발의 유행에 따라 난개발의 우려를 가지고 있다. 이러한 기초 조사를 통해 지역의 문화유산을 보다 잘 보존하고 지역 문화 발전과 지역경제에 이바지하는 시설로 자리 잡는데 필요한 특성화의 방안을 살펴보고자 한다.

The number of World Natural Heritage Sites is smaller than that of World Cultural Heritage Sites. As of 2010, the total number of natural sites was 180, which is less than 1/3 of all cultural sites. The reason why the number of natural sites is smaller can be attributed to the evaluating criteria of OUV(outstanding universal value). Only 9 fossil related sites were designated as World Heritage Sites among 180 Natural Sites. This study compares their OUVs including the academic value and characteristics of the 9 World Heritage Sites to provide data and reference for KCDC(Korean Cretaceous Dinosaur Coast) to apply as a World Natural Heritage Site. This study was carried out to obtain information and data on the Wadi Al-Hitan of Egypt which was designated as a World Natural Heritage Site. The study includes field investigation for whale fossils, interviews of site paleontologists and staff, and inspections of facilities. Three factors can likely be attributed to its successful management and operating system. First, there is a system for comprehensive research and a monitoring plan. Secondly, experts have been recruited and hired and professional training for staff members has been done properly. Finally, the Wadi Al-Hitan has developed local resources with specialized techniques for conservation and construction design, which matched well with whale fossils and the environment at the site. The Wadi Al-Hitan put a master plan into practice and achieved goals for action plans. To designate a future World Natural Heritage Site in Korea, it is important to be recognized by international experts including IUCN specialists as the best in one's field with OUV. Full-time regular-status employees for a research position are necessary from the preparation stage for the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Local government and related organizations must do their best to control monitoring plans and to improve academic value after the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. As we experienced during the designation process of Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes as the first Korean World Natural Heritage Site, participation by various scholars and specialists need to be in harmony with active endeavors from local governments and NGOs.

우리나라의 산업별 교섭은 그동안 과거 기업별 교섭의 유산인 기업별 격차 때문에 많은 어려움을 겪어 왔다. 이 글은 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 유효한 수단으로 산업별 임금체계를 금속노조의 사례를 중심으로 설계하여 제안하고자 한다. 이 글의 논의는 세 부분으로 이루어져 있다. 첫째는 이론적인 부분으로 산업별 임금체계가 중층적인 산업별 교섭구조에 대응하여 연대와 차이의 원리를 반영하면서 동시에 세 가지 계급적 이해범주도 함께 반영해야 한다고 정리하고 이들 요구를 수용하기 위해서 생계비(생애), 직무, 능률, 숙련의 요소들이 임금체계의 항목으로 구성될 필요가 있다고 제시하였다. 둘째는 산업별 임금체계의 설계 시안을 제시하였는데 여기에는 최근의 국내외 임금체계 논의 동향과 관련된 현실적 함의가 함께 고려되었다. 즉 연공급의 문제점을 극복하고 유연적 경영환경에 대응하여 유연적 능률적 요소를 수용할 수 있도록 임금체계를 설계하였다. 셋째는 현재의 임금구조로부터 이 글에서 설계된 산업별 임금체계로 어떻게 이행할 것인지에 대한 전술적인 고민을 금속노조의 사례를 중심으로 논의하였다. 그리하여 현재 금속노조의 실태로부터 먼저 임금체계 자체의 논의가 초기업적 교섭의제로 제기될 수 있는 조건이라는 점과 그런 논의의 출발점이 기본급을 중심으로 이루어지는 것이 바람직하며 일차적인 전술적 목표가 연대의 원리가 적용되는 임금항목들에 있다는 점을 정리하였다.

This study evaluated quality characteristics of soybean fermented by selected lactic acid bacteria, which were the enzyme strains with high antimicrobial activities isolated from traditionally prepared soybean paste. We determined total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria counts, protease and amylase activities, reducing sugar and amino-type nitrogen contents, and the amounts of amino acids, organic acids, and aroma-compounds. The total aerobic bacteria counts in soybean fermented with strain I13 ($7.75{\times}10^9CFU/mL$) were the highest among all the strains analyzed. Lactic acid bacteria numbers were $2.85{\times}10^9$ to $4.35{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ in soybean fermented with isolates. Amylase and protease activities of the JSB22 sample were the highest among all sample. Reducing sugar and amino-type nitrogen contents of soybean fermented with JSB22 (1.23%, 94.52 mg%) were highest. Total amino acid content of the samples was 15.88-17.62%, and glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, lysine, and arginine were the major amino acids. Lactic acid (0.82-3.65 g/100 g), oxalic acid (22.74-63.57 mg/100 g), and fumaric acid (2.88-6.33 mg/100 g) were predominant organic acids. A total of 39 volatile aroma-compounds were identified, including 2 esters, 5 ketones, 7 alcohols, 14 hydrocarbons, 2 heterocyclic compounds, 4 acids, and 5 miscellaneous compounds. These results represent useful information for the development of a starter (single or complex) and will be used for production of functional fermented soybean foods.
