This study reports the development of a manufacturing method of synthesizing colloidal gold using catalysts available for cosmetics and an anti-aging ampoule with skin improvement effects using it. Nano-colloidal gold was synthesized by using ascorbic acid and sodium borohydride as a reducing catalyst in hydrogen tetrachloroaurate tetrahydrate. It was confirmed that the particles became smaller as the mass of the content of ascorbic acid, which is a catalyst, increased. On the other hand, as the mass of sodium borohydride increased, the particle size tended to increase. In order to control the colloidal gold reaction rate, particles having 100 to 500 nm of a particle diameter distribution could be obtained using xanthan gum and hydroxyethylcellulose. The optimal synthesis conditions could be obtained by reacting for 1 to 4 hours at 18℃, a reduced pressure state of 20 to 75 mmHg, a stirring speed of 10~50 rpm. The synthesized colloidal gold had a unique smell of dark pink, pH = 5.5, specific gravity of 1.0032, and viscosity of 80 to 310 cps. As an application of skin care cosmetics, anti-aging ampoule has been developed, and it is expected to be used for various prescriptions and formulations using it.

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson는 영명으로 Elephant yam 또는 Whitespot giant arum 으로 불리는 천남성과(Araceae) 식물로 동아시아, 뉴기니, 오세아니아, 마다가스카르 등지에서 자생하고 있으며 숲의 가장자리 또는 2차림에서 발견 된다. 다년생 식물로 덩이줄기는 어두운 갈색의 둥근모양으로 직경 20~25 cm로 자라고 수염뿌리가 사방으로 달린다. IUCN 적색목록(Red List)에 관심대상 종(LC: Least Concern)에 속하는 식물이다. 현지인들은 마(Dioscorea Polystachya Turcz.)처럼 채소로 먹기도 하며 약용으로 쓰이기도 하는데 복부장애, 소화불량, 천식, 기관지염, 빈혈 등에 약효가 있다. Amorphophallus paeoniifolius은 $25^{\circ}C{\sim}35^{\circ}C$, 연강수량 1,000~1,500 mm에서 잘 자란다. 가운데 눈이 올라오면서 생장을 시작하고 며칠이 지나서야 잎 또는 꽃으로 자라는지 알 수 있다. 잎의 생육주기는 잎눈이 생장을 시작하면 잎자루 끝에 소엽과 소잎자루가 접힌 채로 올라온다. 소엽들이 펴지면서 완전한 모습을 갖추는데 30일 이상의 생장기간을 갖는다. 잎의 형태는 우상복엽(pinnate compound leaf)으로 우산처럼 보이는 잎 하나로 광합성을 한다. 잎은 최대 높이 2.5~3 m, 너비 3 m까지 자라며, 잎자루의 색은 녹색과 청색으로 얼룩덜룩한 무늬가 있다. 인공환경 조건에서 Amorphophallus paeoniifolius 생활사 중 잎의 주기를 연구하기 위해서 광, 온도 등의 지상부 환경은 열대 및 아열대 식물의 자생지와 유사하게 조성하였고, 지하부 환경은 인공 배합토를 사용하여 조성하였다. 평균온도는 $25{\sim}28^{\circ}C$, 겨울철 최저 $16^{\circ}C$, 여름철 최고 $33^{\circ}C$를 유지 관리 하였다. 자동 환경제어시스템으로 온도 및 환기를 유지 관리하고 필요에 따라 수동제어 관리를 병행하여 조절하였다. Amorphophallus paeoniifolius는 잎을 먼저 생성하고 광합성으로 생산된 영양물질을 덩이뿌리에 저장을 하고 그 영양물질을 이용하여 꽃을 피우는 생육 특성을 지닌다. 실험에 사용된 공시 식물은 2018년 12월 미얀마에서 생체(덩이줄기) 형태로 도입되었다. 화분에 식재 후 약 5개월이 지난 시점에서 잎의 생장이 시작되었다. 2019년 7월 29일 기준으로 높이 80 cm, 너비 60 cm의 크기로 성장하였으며, 생육환경에 따라 3~5개월 뒤 잎이 지고 나면 다시 덩이줄기로 되돌아갈 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 지금까지 이 식물에 알려진 정보는 인공환경에서의 연구가 아닌 자연환경에서의 연구결과이기 때문에 인공적인 온실 환경에서 자란 Amorphophallus paeoniifolius는 잎의 주기는 더 오래 갈 수도 있으며 꽃의 주기 또한 느리거나 빠를 수 있다. 잎의 생장주기(Leaf Cycle)시 잎자루가 낮과 밤의 방향을 달리 하여 자라는 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 광합성을 위해서 잎자루의 방향을 햇빛 방향으로 돌리는 것으로 판단된다. Amorphophallus paeoniifolius를 실내 조경 식물 또는 식 약용의 소재식물로 활용하기 위해서는 꽃의 생장주기 등 추가적인 모니터링과 연구가 필요하다.

The painting layer of Payathonzu temple mural paintings in the ruins of Bagan Myanmar has been damaged due to various reasons. In this study, the applicability of Neem resin, a traditional Myanmar adhesive, as a fixative on the painting layer was examined. Cow glue and Paraloid B-72 were selected as fixatives in the comparison group, and pseudo-specimens with conditions similar to the original mural paintings were produced to examine the changes before and after applying the fixatives and according to the deterioration experiments. As a result of conducting the experiments and comparing the fixatives, it was found that changes on the surface such as smudge, yellowing and gloss are greater with the application of higher concentration of Neem resin than with other fixatives. However, such changes were relatively small under the condition of 4% concentration. It was also confirmed that chromaticity and glossiness vary greatly between before- and after-application of the fixatives but that such discrepancies tend to decrease at 4% concentration compared to other concentrations. As for fixation strength, it was found that the fixation capacity of Neem resin on the base and painting layers is overall higher than other fixatives as the concentration is increased. Therefore, the applicability of 4% concentration of Neem resin as a fixative on the painting layer was confirmed considering the low surface changes according to environmental factors, low color discrepancy and glossiness, and characteristics of excellent fixation strength. It is believed that the findings of this study could be used as basic data for the preservation of Payathonzu temple mural paintings in the future.

As part of effort to develop the strategies of internationalization of social science academic journals in South Korea, this study attempts to verify the measurement invariance of journal selection criteria across the groups of library and information science researchers and social science researchers. The authors collected 146 survey responses from researchers who have published at least one paper in SSCI/Scopus-indexed social science journals between 2014 and 2016. As a result of the study, it was found that the configural and partial metric invariance of the journal selection criteria held across the two groups, implying that the model of journal selection criteria is appropriate to use in the field of social science as well as library and information science. Additionally, the authors investigated the perceptions of journal selection criteria indicators in the two groups, and it was shown that researchers in both groups considered peer review and indexing in major databases important. The findings of this study could be useful for publishers or academic societies to develop improvement strategies of their journals.

In this study, the quality characteristics of rice cookies supplemented with different types of insect powder (Tenebrio molitor, Protaetia brevitarsis, and Gryllus bimaculatus) were assessed according to the quantity of insect powder used (0, 1, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 g). No significant differences were observed in rice cookie densities or water content. The pH value and spread factor decreased with increasing insect powder content (p<0.05); however, a significant increase was observed in the loss rate (p<0.05). Crude ash, crude fat, and crude protein content significantly increased with higher concentrations of insect powder (p<0.05). Moreover, lightness and yellowness decreased, whereas redness increased with higher insect powder concentrations (p<0.05). Hardness significantly decreased, whereas the antioxidant capacities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals increased with higher insect powder concentrations (p<0.05). Finally, insect powder can prove a valuable resource in rice cookie production, considering its nutritional value, consumer preference, and antioxidant properties.

The purpose of this project was to improve the stability of a pair of leather socks for use on snowy days in the collection of the National Museum of Korea (Namsan1567) by conducting conservation treatment and restoring the socks to their original form for use in research and exhibition. Leather socks are referred to in ancient documents with names combining the word "mal" for socks with a term indicating their material (e.g., pimal, meaning leather socks; nokpimal, meaning deer leather socks; jangpimal, meaning roe deer leather socks, or lipimal, meaning racoon dog leather socks) and are mentioned mostly in connection with Jeju Island. Related documents include the Seungjeongwon ilgi (Daily Record of the Grand Secretariat), Injaeilnok (Diary of Injae Jo Geukseon), and Hamel's Journal and a Description of the Kingdom of Joseon. Extant examples of ancient leather socks display the same form as beoseon (traditional Korean socks) and are made of either leather or a combination of leather and fabric. It is likely that such leather socks were worn on Jeju Island to protect the feet from the cold. A condition survey of the leather socks was first conducted to establish a plan for their conservation treatment. Since the socks were in rather poor condition, it was decided to identify their original form through an investigation of relics and pertinent previous studies. The socks were cleaned in consideration of results of the condition survey, and the missing parts around the necks of the socks were reinforced in a reversible manner using counting stitches with cloth dyed to match the original color. Since the bottoms of the socks had lost much of their original form due to deterioration and disintegration in the leather, supports were made and inserted inside the socks to help retain their shape. Through these processes, the structure and characteristics of the socks and the techniques used in their production could be analyzed, their condition was stabilized, and their original form was recovered.

An orally disintegrating film (ODF) based on hyaluronic acid (HA) containing vitamin D was developed. The vitamin D content in the ODF was set based on the adequate intake (AI) of vitamin D from 0 to 10 AI (0, 1, 4, 7, and 10AI). The control (0AI) had the highest thickness and showed the longest disintegration time among the samples. The moisture content of the ODFs was significantly lower in those with vitamin D compared to the control. As the amount of vitamin D increased, the water vapor permeability (WVP) of the ODFs decreased, and the opacity significantly increased. The tensile strength was higher in the films containing vitamin D compared to the control films. However, the elongation at the break showed no significant difference among the films. The vitamin D content in the film was reduced by 25.7-44.2% during processing compared to the amount that was originally added. Based on the above results, a new and convenient vitamin D delivery system, an ODF, could be successfully produced.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a high-protein oilseed crop, cultivated worldwide. Soybean seeds are abundant in various secondary metabolites with physiologically active. Mature seeds of 25 soybean cultivars with various morphological and physiological characteristics analyzed for secondary metabolites, such as carotenoid, isoflavone, and soyasaponin. These secondary metabolites showed various content by genotype in 25 cultivars. Total carotenoid content ranged from 1.23 to 33.78 mg/g and three cultivars, such as IT177645, PI90763 and IT234975 with black seed coat showed high levels of total carotenoid. Total isoflavones content ranged from 20.28 to 276.35 mg/100g and were detected high levels in Savoy, PI90763 and KLG16001. In addition, total soyasaponins content ranged from 33.12 to 246 mg/100g and were detected high levels in PI90763, PI86490 and IT234975. The PI90763 was showed abundant content in all of the carotenoid, isoflavones and soyasaponins. These results could be valuable information for the development of new soybean cultivars and regulation of secondary metabolites biosynthesis in soybean.

It can be said that digital technology is at the center of the change in the modern work environment. In particular, in general public institutions that prove their work with records produced by business management systems and document production systems, the record management system is also the work environment itself. Gimpo City applied for the 2021 public cloud leading project of the National Information Society Agency (NIA) to proactively respond to the 4th industrial revolution technology era and implemented a public cloud-based AI-OCR technology enhancement project with 330 million won in support of 330 million won. Through this, it was converted into data beyond the limitations of non-electronic records limited to search and image viewing that depend on standardized index values. In addition, a 98% recognition rate was realized by applying a new technology called AI-OCR. Since digital technology has been used to improve work efficiency, productivity, development cost, and record management service levels of internal and external users, we would like to share the direction of enhancing expertise in the record management and implementation of work environment innovation.
