In this study, antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolated from domestic beef on sale in Busan and Gyeongnam province was investigated from March to October 2008. A total of 400 beef samples were collected for the monitoring of antimicrobial resistance, and 39 (9.8%) strains of E. coli were isolated. Antimicrobial resistance test was carried out by agar disc diffusion method with 17 antimicrobials. In general, E. coli isolates showed the highest antimicrobial resistance to tetracycline (85.3%), followed by doxycycline (76.5%), streptomycin (61.8%) and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (61.8%). Then they showed higher resistance to several antimicrobials like kanamycin and neomycin (55.9%). However, They had low antimicrobial resistance to amikacin (8.8%), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (2.9%). Of 39 isolates, 31 (79.5%) were resistant to more than 2 antimicrobials. Among 17 antimicrobials examined, tetracyclines were the most resistant, followed by aminoglycosides, sulfonamides. The resistance was seemed to be correlated to amounts of antimicrobial use. In the result of this study, we suggest that there be need to regulate the abuse of antimicrobial on food-producing animals in Korea because the concern on antimicrobial resistant is gradually increased worldwide.

Aphanisticus congener is a newly recorded buprestid (Coleoptera) insect pest of turfgrass in Korea. This buprestid pest was initially found from turfgrass conservation site in a greenhouse in Jinju, Gyeongnam province, Korea in July, 2014. The Aphanisticus in the family Buprestidae is a leaf miner. A. congener is the close species of A. aeneus which was firstly reported as sugarcane leaf sucker in India. A. congener was active from early July to late August in the greenhouse. Damage by the insect led to drying out and browning of turfgrass leaf because larva fed on cell sap of leaves and adult fed on leaf surface. A. congener damaged Zoysia japonica, Z. sinica, Conodon dactylon, and Poa pratensis when adults were artificially released into potted turfgrasses in the laboratory. In green house, A. congener damaged Z. japonica, Z. macrostachya, Z. matrella, Z. sinica, Conodon dactylon, and hybrid zoysiagrass. However, no damage symptoms were observed from the same turfgrass accessions in the nearby field of the greenhouse. Thus, the new coleopteran pest may be a warm-adapted pest for turfgrass, damaging turfgrass leaf only in warmer conditions.

A questionnaire was administered to 850 middle school students in Jinju city and Hamyang province to asses their body shape preferences. Their mean current BMI(body mass index, Kg/㎡) in males(19.23±2.77) was higher than that in females(18.61±2.59). On the other hand, significant differences in BMI were not found between areas. The perceived desired weights for their current height were about+0.22kg(males) and -4.32kg(females) of their actual weights. In spite of the average weight group, many wished to lose weight because of their tendency to perceive themselves as overweight, especially among rural females. Their ideal body shape as perceived by them were 'normal' in males and 'a bit thin' in females, independent of the areas. As for the 'contentment' regarding their current weight and health, the most satisfied group in males were estimated average weight and slightly overweight group, respectively. While, the most satisfied group in females were estimated slightly underweight and overweight group, respectively. Their extreme slim-body preference might have its root in the lack of proper understanding of what the 'standard' body weight was.

The major cultured marine fishes in sea off the coast Gyeongsangnam-do Province, South Korea, were assessed and included 9.3% rockfish Sebastes schlegelii, 7.8% red seabream Pagrus major, and 2.1% rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus. The number of insurance payments related to disease mortality in cultured fish in 2017 was fourfold that in 2016. Economic loss in aquaculture due to disease in cultured fish is high and represents an important inhibitory factor affecting marine fishery productivity. In 2018, diseases led to severe production losses in several aquaculture species: 40.0% in rockfish, 11.4% in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, 10.0% in filefish Thamnaconus modestus, and 9.3% in red seabream. Fish-parasitic pathogens such as Microcotyle sebastis, Alella spp., and Dactylogyrus spp. enter mainly via the gills and skin surface. Among bacterial pathogens, Vibrio species were most common, with Vibrio harveyi being the dominant species causing infections in these fishes. The bacterium Lactococcus garvieae is thought to exhibit host specificity in fish. The fish species in the present study exhibited a higher tendency for infection by heterologous pathogens than by a single pathogen; therefore, it is necessary to devise new strategies for treating diseases in cultured fish.

Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the mediating and moderating effects of resilience in the relationship between experience of workplace bullying and its consequences among hospital nurses. Methods: The participants included 187 registered nurses working in general hospitals or a tertiary hospital in Busan and Gyeongnam Province, South Korea. Data were collected from October 25-November 30, 2019, using structured questionnaires. The moderating effects were examined using stepwise hierarchical multiple regression models. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 statistical program. Results: The results demonstrated that resilience had a moderating role in the relationship between experience of workplace bullying and its consequences in hospital nurses (β=.01, p=.024). However, resilience showed no mediating effect. Conclusion: To prevent and control workplace bullying, as well as to minimize its negative effects, it is necessary to develop a program that can enhance the resilience of hospital nurses.

Purpose: Compared to cities, rural areas are in a medical blind spot and face difficulties in accessing medical services due to inconvenient transportation facilities, lack of medical facilities, and the heavy burden of medical expenses. This study was carried out to identify the problems relating to the musculoskeletal system of the elderly in rural and fishing villages, which are medically vulnerable areas, and sought to present a regionally differentiated healthcare model. Methods: The study was conducted in 80 elderly people in two rural villages and two fishing villages after seeking inputs regarding medically vulnerable groups in the Gyeongnam Province. Postural balance and muscle flexibility were assessed and postural evaluation was conducted to identify musculoskeletal problems and gait stability. Strength and range of motion for each body segment were assessed for evaluating functional motion. Results: The elderly in both rural areas showed forward head posture characteristics. The strength level of the elderly in both rural areas was higher than the average, but their flexibility and balance ability were lower than the average. Conclusion: The musculoskeletal problems of the elderly in rural and fishing villages in this study did not show regional characteristics according to the area of residence. However, overall flexibility and balance ability appeared to be reduced. Therefore, a new management model connecting the region and the university is necessary in preparation for the coming era of community care.

본 연구의 목적은 경남지역의 제과제빵 종사자들의 식품 알레르기에 대한 인식수준을 조사하고 이것을 바탕으로 식품 알레르기 인식 개선 및 관리방안을 모색하는데 있다. 경남지역의 제과협회에 등록된 업체 대표자 및 종사자를 대상으로 조사를 실시하였으며 설문지는 식품 알레르기와 제과제빵의 연관성, 개발 시 식품 알레르기 고려 여부, 식품 알레르겐 다량 함유 여부, 유발 원인 및 알레르기 증상에 대한 차이를 확인하기 위해 작성 되었다. 102개 업체에 설문지를 배포하였고 그 중 67.7%(69개/102개) 업체로부터 설문지가 회수 되어 통계 분석에 사용하였고 수집 된 69개의 설문결과에 따르면 식품 알레르기에 대하여 알거나 들은 경험이 있는 제과제빵 종사자는 87%(60명/69명)으로 대부분 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 일부 13%(9명/69명)의 종사자가 경험이 없다고 답하였다. 그러나 제조과정 중 식품 알레르기를 '고려한다' 73.9%(51명/69명) 수준으로 응답했지만 식품 알레르겐과 식품 알레르기 증상을 관리하는 방법에 대해서 대부분 알지못했다. 제과제빵 종사자들을 위한 식품 알레르기교육 참가 여부에 대해 '매우 그렇다' 30.4%(21명/69명), '그렇다' 40.6%(28명/69명)로 교육의 필요성에 대한 인식이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 설문조사 결과는 종사자 간의 차이는 있었지만 현재 경남지역의 제과제빵 종사자들이 식품 알레르기에 대한 인식과 그 관리 방안에 대한 교육이 미흡하다는 것을 의미하고, 적절한 관리를 위해 제과제빵 종사자들을 위한 식품 알레르기에 대한 전반적인 교육프로그램이 필요한 것으로 확인하였다. 특히 제과제빵 종사자들에게 제품 제조과정에서 식품 알레르기를 유발하는 알레르겐을 관리하는 방법에 대한 교육이나 실제 매장의 갑작스러운 식품 알레르기사고와 응급처치 등의 지침과 같은 교육 및 지원이 필요한 것으로 보여진다. 이상의 결과는 경남지역에 종사하는 제과제빵 종사자에 대한 식품 알레르기 인식도 조사이지만 국내 제과제빵 분야에 종사하는 인력들에 대한 식품 알레르기 인식도 관련 기초 자료로써 활용이 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

지방자치단체 수준에서의 습지 보전 현황을 파악하기 위해 경상남도를 대상으로 실행계획과 과제현황을 분석하였다. 습지보전실천계획은 기반체계(습지조사, 습지보호지역 람사르습지 관리, 습지관리전략 수립), 습지보전 및 현명한 이용(습지복원, 생물관리, 이용시설조성), 교육 및 인식증진, 협력체계구축(국내외 습지보전기관과의 협력)으로 구분하였다. 2010년부터 2013년 까지 총 42개 과제(145건)가 수행되었고 총 88,899백만원이 경상남도의 14개 기관에서 수행된 것으로 분석되었다. 과제의 규모와 예산은 점차 감소하는 추세에 있지만 지속적으로 추진되는 과제가 많으며, 수행 주체는 일부 지방자치단체에 집중되어 있는 양상을 보였다. 각 과제가 얼마나 많은 성과를 만들었는가를 판단하기에 앞서, 전통적인 습지관리방법이나 행정적 법적 지원이 충분하지 않은 상황에서 여러 가지 시도를 통해 지방정부 차원에서 습지를 관리하고 이를 조례로 입법화한 것은 지방자치단체 수준의 습지보전에 높은 의미를 가지는 것으로 평가할 수 있었다. 단일 지방자치단체의 역량만으로 국가 네트워크를 통한 자료 공유 또는 법적 제제는 무리가 따르므로 이를 위한 중앙정부차원의 법적 근거 마련과 타 지방자치단체와의 협력체계 구축이 시급한 것으로 판단된다.
