This paper reviewed the necessity of a information and communication technology (ICT)-based smart livestock system as a development strategy for the animal life industry in the future. It also predicted the trends of livestock and animal food until 2050, 30 years later. Worldwide, livestock raising and consumption of animal food are rapidly changing in response to population growth, aging, reduction of agriculture population, urbanization, and income growth. Climate change can change the environment and livestock's productivity and reproductive efficiencies. Livestock production can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, water pollution, animal welfare, and human health problems. To solve these issues, there is a need for a preemptive future response strategy to respond to climate change, improve productivity, animal welfare, and nutritional quality of animal foods, and prevent animal diseases using ICT-based smart livestock system fused with the 4th industrial revolution in various aspects of the animal life industry. The animal life industry of the future needs to integrate automation to improve sustainability and production efficiency. In the digital age, intelligent precision animal feeding with IoT (internet of things) and big data, ICT-based smart livestock system can collect, process, and analyze data from various sources in the animal life industry. It is composed of a digital system that can precisely remote control environmental parameters inside and outside the animal husbandry. The ICT-based smart livestock system can also be used for monitoring animal behavior and welfare, and feeding management of livestock using sensing technology for remote control through the Internet and mobile phones. It can be helpful in the collection, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of a wide range of information that farmers need. It can provide new information services to farmers.

Objectives: This study was conducted to survey the currently available fluoride-containing oral hygiene products in Korea to provide consumers with information regarding the concentration and form of fluoride in each product, as well as to determine whether the information was easy to understand. Methods: A total of 64 types of domestic commercial oral hygiene products were purchased from an offline market and evaluated. Results: The domestic commercial toothpaste products contained fluoride in the form of sodium fluoride (NaF) and sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP). In this study, toothpaste containing 1,000 ppm fluoride compounds accounted for the largest proportion (61.5%). Toothpastes containing below 1,000 ppm fluoride accounted for 34.6%, while toothpastes with fluoride above 1,000 ppm fluoride accounted for 3.9%. Toothpaste containing more than 1,000 ppm fluoride has not been popularized domestically. Mouthwash products contained fluoride compounds at less than 300 ppm concentration. Of the five types of mouthwash products, only two types had labels indicating fluoride concentration. In addition, the location of the labels indicating fluoride concentration differed between manufacturers and even within the same manufacturer. Conclusions: It is important to popularize toothpaste with fluoride levels above 1,000 ppm so that a broader selection of toothpaste can be offered to consumers in need. Standardized information needs to be provided for consumer convenience to aid in choosing appropriate oral hygiene products.

This study was conducted to provide data on awareness and use of traditional foods, suggesting the desirable ways to succeed and develop traditional foods, and the possible direction of policies and applications for food industry. The study also aimed to figure out awareness of traditional food and dietary life behaviors of married women in order to offer or draw attention to new information for better healthy life styles. Five hundred and ten married women in parts of Seoul and Kyongki area were surveyed to figure out their awareness and use of traditional foods including some of fermented foods, such as Kimchi, Doenjang(soybean paste), and Gochujang(hot pepper paste). The results were summarized as follows. First the overall satisfaction degree with traditional foods reached as high as 74.4%. They preferred traditional foods because they are healthy(38.8%), seasonally celebrated(29.9%), and well known for a variety of fermented foods(28%). Second, Kimchi, Doenjang and Gochujang, home-made or factory manufactured in an old-fashioned way, were preferred. Third, the most frequently cooked traditional foods were Kimchi Chigae and Doenjang Chigae. The most preferred cooking methods using Gochujang were Jorim(stewing) and Bokkeum(roasting). These results showed that Kimchi, Doenjang, and Gochujang were still used in cooking by married women in parts of Seoul and kyongki area, which says those are still the traditional foods most of women think as important and essential. The producers of traditional foods have to consider the safety and improvement of taste and quality of ingredients in addition to the convenience in cooking, More researches should be conducted to enhance these aspects and to develop functional foods to satisfy various needs of consumers and to improve their health.

These days, IoT attached diaper are available in markets. It measures child's temperature, oxygen rate, or even humidity of diaper and send the result directly to parent's smartphone. This research emphasize the followings, due to the fact that use of IoT in context of infant care should ultimately be leaded to infant's wellbeing and healthy development. First, there can be many problems when you only focus on usability without careful consideration of the accuracy of the infant's health information produced by the IoT. Second, infant's needs and nature of child should be reflected when developing IoT which supports infant care. The use of the IoT should not take away the chance of physical contact such as eye-contact or patting and hugging between the caregiver and baby. IoT is very important, however in terms of infant development, connect with IoT cannot antecede contact with child.

The purpose of the study is to integrate multi-cultural families with special needs and situations into family living and Korean social groups. Nowadays there has been an increase in the number of international marriages. According to these changes, there are a variety of social problems such as cultural conflicts, domestic violence, difficulty in communication, and bad relationships between family members because of misunderstandings. These social problems can be alleviated by a family integration education program for multi-cultural families. This program was developed in order to help immigrant women in their initial settlement and to provide them with information on mutual culture of family living. The contents of the program consist of how to live a harmonious, understanding and hopeful family life. The method of evaluation is to survey the immigrant women's self esteem and conduct an interview. The results of the evaluation are to promote a positive relationship between family members. Also the family agreed to promote favorable sentiments toward each other. The program also had meaningful consequences for the improvement of the immigrants' realistic expectation of marriage and conflict resolution skills. I am hopeful that more elaborate programs for multi-cultural families will be developed in order to maximize the effect with appropriate education and support systems.

In Japan, Wagyu cattle include four Japanese breeds; Black, Brown, Shorthorn, and Polled. Today, the renowned brand name Wagyu includes not only cattle produced in Japan, but also cattle produced in countries such as Australia and the United States. In recent years, the intramuscular fat percentage in beef (longissimus muscle) from Japanese Black cattle has increased to be greater than 30%. The Japanese Black breed is genetically predisposed to producing carcass lipids containing higher concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids than other breeds. However, there are numerous problems with the management of this breed including high production costs, disposal of untreated excrement, the requirement for imported feed, and food security risks resulting from various viral diseases introduced by imported feed. The feeding system needs to shift to one that is more efficient, and improves management for farmers, food security for consumers, and the health environment for residents of Japan. Currently, we are developing a metabolic programming and an information and communications technology (ICT, or Interne of Things) management system for Wagyu beef production as future systems. If successful, we will produce safe, high-quality Wagyu beef using domestic pasture resources while solving the problems of how to utilize increasing areas of abandoned agricultural land and to make use of the plant-based feed resources in Japan's mountainous areas.

The study analyzed the determinants of bypass healthcare utilization for hospitals in Seoul, of which phenomenon has rapidly risen since the introduction of KTX in 2004. 203 interviewees who had visited hospitals in Seoul using KTX were analyzed. We found that probability of utilization of inpatient service is increased with statistical significance by visiting hospital for the purpose of disease treatment, being aged over 40, being married and so on. This implies that the government needs to consider policies to support higher-level general hospitals in non-Seoul areas to enhance the quality of healthcare. Also hospital accreditation program and P4P program need to be used to help patients choose hospitals based on the accurate information on the quality of health care.
