  • With the increasing improvement of living standard, people pay more attention to the quality and security of their food. There is an increase in the consumption of aquatic products and a vast prospect of its trade. Fisheries as a major one of the traditional industries in China have significant price advantages and natural resources. However, marine pollution in China is more and more serious and the expecting of aquatic products has been seriously influenced by green barriers in the recent years. This paper tries to examine the effect of Chinese marine pollution on export of aquatic products in China. This paper utilizes cointegration test to estimate long-run equilibrium between marine pollution and fisheries products export. The results indicate that real exchange rate and income variable have positive effects and fish price has negative effect on China's fisheries export to Korea. However, marine pollution variable has no statistically significant effect on dependant variable. And according to the result of China's fisheries export to Japan, exchange rate has positive effect and both fish price and marine pollution variable have negative effects on export. Lastly, marine pollution and income level have effects on dependant variable in the case of Hong Kong, but exchange rate and price variable have no significant effect on aquatic products export from China to Hong Kong. In a word, marine pollution of China is a serious problem and it has negative effect on Chinese export of aquatic products.

  • The FAO reports that IUU fishing activities have widespread economic, social, and management consequences, including depriving legitimate fishers of harvest opportunities. It affects all fisheries from small scale to industrial. It also affects the ability of governments to support sustainable livelihoods for fishers and, more broadly, to achieve food security. The complexity of IUU requires various measures to combat IUU fishing such as adoption of IUU vessel lists; stronger port State controls; improved monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS); implementation of market-related measures to help ensure compliance; and capacity-building assistance. Trade and market measures reduce opportunities for IUU fishing activities by precluding or impeding access to markets for IUU product in a manner consistent with international law. ICCAT, CCAMLR, and IATTC, have put in place trade tracking programs or catch documentation schemes, and WCPFC is considering such a program. Vessel lists assist enforcement authorities in determining which vessels are or are not authorized to be fishing or conducting fishing support activities in specified areas. A number of RFMOs maintain records of IUU vessels: CCAMLR, IATTC, ICCAT, NAFO, NASCO, NPAFC, WCPFC. Section 608 of the US MSRA calling on the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of State, and in cooperation with relevant regional fishery management councils and any relevant advisory committees, to take actions to improve the effectiveness of international fishery management organizations in conserving and managing stocks under their jurisdiction. EU IUU Regulation entered into force on 1 January 2010, was intended to regulate the highly complex multi-channel fisheries supply system of the European Community (EC) in an effort to improve global fisheries sustainability.

  • The present study was conducted to evaluate nutrient intakes of industrial workers with hyperlipidemia and cholesterol-saturated fat indices(CSI) of their daily meals and various side dishes accompanied with alcohol. Thirty eight male subjects of 41.0$\pm$6.5 years whose average serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were 222.9$\pm$37.7 and 282.3$\pm$139.3mg/이 were interviewed on daily intakes of foods and drinking habits including types and amounts of side dishes using 24-hour recall and questionnaire methods. Average energy habits including twenty six non-drinkers and twelve drinkers were 2365$\pm$41 and 2822$\pm$417kcal, respectively but intakes of other nutrients were not very different between two groups. Carotene intakes was, however, low in drinkers. Intakes of saturated fat, cholesterol and CSI of subjects' daily meals were 15.4$\pm$5.4g, 229$\pm$114mg and 27.1$\pm$10.4 for non-drinkers and 18.7$\pm$7.8g, 238$\pm$69mg and 30.8$\pm$9.8 for drinkers. CSI of their daily meals varied from 10 to 60 without much differences in energy values and were positively correlated with serum cholesterol levels(r=0.2606, p<0.05). Average alcohol intakes obtained from subjects' drinking habit was 89.5$\pm$46.8g per day and major side dish was roasted beef giving 660$\pm$234kcal of energy and 24.3$\pm$8.0 of CSI. From the present study, it is concluded that industrial workers are more prone to have hyperlipidemic diets due to alcohol. To improve their diet and health, an appropriate nutrition education should be necessary and CSI of various Korean foods and meals can be used as handy self-control education tool.

  • During the post green revolution era, wheat and rice were the main crops of concern to cater the food security issues of Pakistan. The use of semi dwarf high yielding varieties along with extensive use of fertilizers and surface and ground water lead to substantial increase in crop production. However, the higher crop productivity came at the cost of over exploitation of the precious land and water resources, which ultimately has resulted in the dwindling production rates, loss of soil fertility, and qualitative and quantitative deterioration of both surface and ground water bodies. Recently, during the past two decades, severe climate changes are further pushing the Pakistan's wheat-rice system towards its limits. This necessitates a careful analysis of the current crop water requirements and water footprints (both green and blue) to project the future trends under the most likely climate change phenomenon. This was done by using the FAO developed CROPWAT model v 8.0, coupled with the statistically-downscaled climate projections from the 8 Global Circulation Models (GCMs), for the two future time slices, 2030s (2021-2050) and 2060s (2051-2080), under the two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs): 4.5 and 8.5. The wheat-rice production system of Punjab, Pakistan was considered as a case study in exploration of how the changing climate might influence the crop water requirements and water footprints of the two major crops. Under the worst, most likely future scenario of temperature rise and rainfall reduction, the crop water requirements and water footprints, especially blue, increased, owing to the elevated irrigation demands originating from the accelerated evapotranspiration rates. A probable increase in rainfall as envisaged by some GCMs may partly alleviate the adverse impacts of the temperature rise but the higher uncertainties associated with the predicated rainfall patterns is worth considering before reaching a final conclusion. The total water footprints were continuously increasing implying that future climate would profoundly influence the crop evapotranspiration demands. The results highlighted the significance of the irrigation water availability in order to sustain and improve the wheat-rice production system of Punjab, Pakistan.

  • 전 세계적으로 기후변화, 인구증가, 도시화에 따른 물, 에너지, 식량 등 필수 자원의 수요량 증가로 인한 수급 불균형으로 글로벌 자원안보 위기가 대두되고 있다. 특히, 국내의 경우 경제성장로 인한 중산층 증가와 도시 인구 팽창에 따른 물, 에너지, 식량 등 필수 자원에 대한 수요 증가로 인해 유한한 자원에 대한 대응책이 시급한 실정이다. 또한 국내 자원의 대외 의존성이 높아 국제 자원 시장에 크게 영향을 받기 때문에 물-에너지-식량의 연계를 통한 자립적 자원확보가 필요하다. 국내에서도 수자원 자체만의 기존 기술 한계를 극복하기 위한 물-에너지, 물-식량 연계신기술 개발과 지속가능한 활용방안이 필요한 실정으로 현재 미국, 일본, 유럽 등 주요 선진국을 중심으로 물관리와 연계한 에너지의 효율화 및 수자원이 갖는 에너지의 회수와 적극적 활용이 추진되고 있다. 이를 반영하여, 국내의 경우 독립적으로 구분되는 이수, 치수, 물순환 건전화 등 주요 물관리 이슈에 대하여 에너지, 식량 분야를 연계한 통합적이고 효율적인 지속가능 방안제시가 필요하다. 이를 위해 자원안보의 선제적 대응을 위한 구체적이고 실질적인 물-에너지-식량의 연계 기술이 필요하며, 국내 실정에 적합한 기술의 도입이 필요하다. 즉 (1) WEF 데이터공유 및 범정부적 의사결정을 위한 다부처 협업체계 구축을 위한 Bigdata기반 부처간 데이터베이스 구축 및 공유 (2) 기후변화 적응 자원연계 솔루션 개발 및 넥서스 영향평가 툴 개발을 위한 자원 효율성 증대를 위한 연계 기술 고도화 (3) 국내(미래넥서스시티 versus 지자체자립형넥서스마을), 해외 on-demand형의 미래자원관리 패키지기술 실증을 위한 국내외 Testbed구축 및 운영 (4) 기술의 실현을 위한 제도, 정책의 개선 및 국민 공감대 형성을 위한 WEF 넥서스 거버넌스 수립 및 개선으로 구분할 수 있다. 이를 통해, 물-에너지-식량 분야 상호 연계를 통한 분야별 "생산-가공-유통처리" 효율 30% 개선, 20C SOC 시설산업기반에서 21C 사회 인프라 국민 서비스 산업으로 전환을 통한 국가 신산업기반 구축, 4차 산업혁명의 Data Technology 분야에서 세계 최초의 공공기반 WEF 연계 패키지 기술 개발 들이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 우리나라를 포함하여 전 세계적으로 기후변화로 기인하는 기상변동성 증가 등의 원인으로 물, 식량, 에너지의 시공간적 불균형이 발생할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 특히 미국 캘리포니아 2012-2015 대가뭄, 우리나라의 2013-2015 대가뭄 등 물부족의 위험 가능성이 증폭됨에 따라, 이와 관련된 에너지와 식량 등의 연계자원들도 기존의 방법과 같이 관리되고 활용하는 것에 한계점이 도달하고 있다. 기후변화와 같이 기상학적 스트레스 증가와 더불어, 국제적으로 인구증가 및 도시화가 확대될 것으로 전망되며, 한국, 미국, 중국, 인도 등에서 물안보에 대한 우려가 현실로 다가오고 있으며, 세계경제포럼(world economic forum)의 "전 지구적 위험도 인지 조사"에서도 물, 식량, 에너지 위기에 대한 심각성을 강조하고 있다. 물, 식량 그리고 에너지는 서로 밀접한 연관성을 가지고 있으며, 개별 분야에서의 문제는 그 자체의 위기로 그치지 않고 다른 타 분야의 위험도를 증폭시키는 원인으로 작용하게 된다. 과거와 다르게 교통, 물류 등의 발달로 물, 식량 및 에너지의 국가간 의존도가 더욱 증가하는 방향으로 전개되고 있으며, 세 가지 자원의 연계성 강화는 결국 상호위기를 선제적으로 대응할 수 있는 방법으로 전망된다. 따라서 물안보 및 물복지 실현을 위한 물과 에너지의 저비용, 고효율의 최적화 방안은 상당히 중요한 요인이 될 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 자원간 Trade-off, 평가 등 에너지소비를 줄이고 에너지 효율성을 증가하며 에너지 절약형 기술에 개발에 중점을 두는 방안을 찾아야 한다. 또한 원예시설 및 관개 기술의 개선에 따른 물과 에너지 소비량 비교 분석, 시설원예 산업의 에너지 생산성 및 절약형 기술 등 에너지-물-식량 분야의 상호연결을 정량화하고 최적화하는 방안들을 지속적으로 모색해야 할 필요가 있다.

  • BACKGROUND: Reclamation of heavy metal-contaminated agricultural fields has intensively been done to ensure the soil quality and food security. This study evaluated the efficiency and longevity of current physical and chemical approaches for heavy metal-contaminated soils. METHODS AND RESULTS: Concentrations of 0.1 N HCl-leachable trace metals of Cd, Pb, and As from the stabilizing agents-treated soils decreased by 50%, 70%, and 40%, respectively, compared to the control. Among the stabilizing agents, the $CaCO_3$ was the best for stabilization. For physical stabilization, the soil dressing reduced the concentrations of Cd, Pb, and As by 88%, 94%,and 88%, respectively, compared to the control. Moreover, the dilution of the contaminated soils decreased the metals by an average of 25.3% when compared with the control. The longevity of each stabilization method was determined by using the availability assessment of heavy metals in the soils. Results showed that the leaching methods using HCl and $NH_4NO_3$ had 120 and 32 weeks longevity, respectively. Interestingly, any stabilization efficacy was not found over the time for Cd and Pb (i.e., cation metals), whereas the stabilization efficacy of As was sharply decreased under 50% after 32 weeks. However, the change of metal concentration was not significant with the physical stabilization compared to the chemical stabilization. CONCLUSION: The stabilization methods should carefully be selected based on long-term monitoring under climate conditions.

  • RFID systems have been widely used in various fields such as logistics, distribution, food, security, traffic and others. A RFID middleware, one of the key components of the RFID system, perform an important role in many functions such as filtering, grouping, reporting tag data according to given user specifications and so on. However, manual test data generation is very hard because the inputs of the RFID middleware are generated according to the RFID middleware standards and complex encoding rules. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a black box test technique based on RFID middleware standards. Firstly, we define ten types of input conversion rules to generate new test data from existing test data based on the standard specifications. And then, using these input conversion rules, we generate various additional test data automatically. To validate the effectiveness of generated test data, we measure coverage of generated test data on actual RFID middleware. The results show that our test data achieve 78% statement coverage and 58% branch coverage in the classes of filtering and grouping, 79% statement coverage and 64% branch coverage in the classes of reporting.

  • Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between climate factors and the catches in Korean offshore fisheries in recent three decades (1981 to 2010). Method: This study focused on seven types of fish species preferred in Korean cuisine. In the study, 10-year moving averages were used so that long-term trends could be easily identified. Results: Both air temperature and sea surface temperature (SST) on the coast of Korea rose in the period (p < 0.05). The rise in SST was significantly correlated with the rise in air temperature (p < 0.05), but not with precipitation. In the 2010s compared to in the 1981, catches of anchovy and squid greatly increased (p < 0.05), while catches of Alaska / walleye pollock has been almost extinct over the past 30 years. As such, cold-water fish species decreased or disappeared, and their fishing ground was replaced by warm-water fish species. Conclusions: These findings indicate that fish species caught in offshore fisheries of Korea have changed due to climate change, especially warming. This suggests that the warming of the Korean Peninsula may have a significant impact on the supply of fishery products and food security to Koreans in the near future.
