골프장 잔디 관리에서 미생물제제는 잔디의 생육 및 품질을 개선하고, 병을 예방하기 위해 사용되어왔다. 본 연구는 유산균(Lactobacillus fermentum)을 함유하는 미생물제제의 처리에 따른 크리핑 벤트그래스의 생육과 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 처리구는 무처리구(NF), 대조구(CF), 미생물제제 처리구(MFcL: microbial fertilizer containing L. fermentum; MFL: CF+MFcL $1.0g\;m^{-2}$; 2MFL: CF+ MFcL $2.0g\;m^{-2}$) 및 미생물제제 단독 처리구(OMF; MFcL $1.0g\;m^2$)로 설정하였다. 시험 종료 후 토양 화학성은 처리구별 차이를 나타내지 않아 MFcL의 처리가 토양 이화학성에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. MFcL 처리 시 잔디의 시각적 품질, 잔디 예지물, 잔디 중 무기 성분 함량 및 흡수량은 대조구와 비슷하였다. 잔디 밀도는 MFcL처리구에서 대조구에 비해 약 20% 정도 증가하였다. 이들 결과는 유산균을 함유하는 미생물제제의 처리는 크리핑 벤트그래스의 밀도를 향상에 기여하는 것을 확인하였다.

국내 유리병 포장의 개선 방향을 제시하기 위하여 유리병 경량화 지수를 이용하여 유리병 재질 사용 원천 감량을 위한 적정 기준을 설정하였다. 제품의 구분은 사용목적과 사용시간에 따라 일회용병과 다회에 걸쳐 장기간 두고 쓰는 반복사용병(returnable bottle) 및 장기보관 사용 일회용 유리병으로 구분하여 설정하였다. 재사용병의 대부분은 권고기준을 충족하고 있는 것으로 나타났으나 해외 제품의 경우 같은 품목임에도 지수가 최적기준에 준하는 수치를 보여 현저하게 낮은 지수를 보였다. 일회용 유리병 중 소용량 드링크류 유리병은 권고기준을 충족하지 못하여 감량할 필요성이 있는 품목군으로 판단된다. 반면 일회용 유리병 중 180 ml 주스류에 해당되는 품목은 평균적으로 권고기준에 가까운 지수를 보였다. 분석 결과, 해외 제품에 비해 국내 제품의 유리병 경량화 지수가 커 상대적으로 무거운 유리병을 사용하고 있는 것으로 나타나 경량화를 위한 노력이 필요하다고 판단된다. 일본의 경우 일본 유리병 재활용 촉진 협의회를 중심으로 유리병 경량화 지수를 이용하여 유리병의 친환경성을 평가하고 있다. 국내에서 업계의 자발적인 감량화 노력을 유도하는 협의회 구성이 필요하며 경량병 사용시 불이익 발생하지 않는 기술력을 확보해야 한다.

Objectives: In Korea, the percentage of elderly is increasing at an unprecedented rate, and is expected to account for 40% of the population by 2060. This massive demographic change stresses the importance of research on aging as it is necessary to improve the quality of life (QoL) of this population. This study aimed to examine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the rural elderly and to clarify its association with the nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR). Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in S-gun, Chonbuk, a critical agricultural area. The elderly people without abnormal physical functioning composed our study population and the data were collected by personal visits to 336 elderly people aged over 65 years (110 males and 226 females). Subjects were interviewed with questionnaires pertaining to general characteristics and EuroQol (EQ-5D). Nutrient intakes were assessed two days by 24-hours recall method. Subjects were defined as high QOL group if EQ-5D index with Nam's model was above the median. Results: Generally, EQ-5D index was lower in women than in man, and lower in older subjects than in younger subjects. The percentages of people below the median were 42% (low QoL group) and 58% (high QoL group) were found to be the above the median. The high QoL group had higher NAR, especially for vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and folate. All dimensions in the EQ-5D were affected by NAR of some nutrients and especially anxiety/depression dimension was significantly correlated with NAR of 5 nutrients (protein, calcium, iron, vitamin C and vitamin B1) and EQ-5D scores. Conclusions: HRQol was significantly reduced in elderly with increasing age and this was more pronounced in women than in man. The NAR of some nutrients were associated with the EQ-5D index, especially anxiety/depression dimension, among rural elderly.

Objectives: This study assessed the validity and reliability of the Health-related Quality of Life Instrument with 8 Items (HINT-8) in patients with diabetes. HINT-8 is a newly-developed, generic health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument. Methods: Three HRQoL instruments-HINT-8, EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L), and Short Form Health Survey version 2.0 (SF-36v2)-were provided to 300 patients with diabetes visiting a tertiary hospital for follow-up visits in Korea. The HRQoL scores obtained using the HINT-8 were evaluated for subgroups with known differences based on demographics and diabetes-related characteristics (known-group validity). The mean scores of the instruments were compared between groups segmented by their responses to the HINT-8 (discriminatory ability). Correlation coefficients of the HINT-8 with other instruments were calculated (convergent and divergent validity). The Cohen kappa and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) were also evaluated (test-retest reliability). Results: The average HINT-8 indexes were lower among women, older, and less-educated subjects. Subjects who did not list any problems on the HINT-8 had significantly higher HRQoL scores than those who did. The correlation coefficients of the HINT-8 with the EQ-5D-5L index and EuroQoL visual analogue scale were 0.715 (p<0.001) and 0.517 (p<0.001), respectively. The correlation coefficients between the HINT-8 index and the scores of 8 domains of the SF-36v2 ranged from 0.478 (p<0.001) to 0.669 (p<0.001). The Cohen kappa values for the HINT-8 ranged from 0.268 to 0.601, and the ICC of the HINT-8 index was 0.800 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.720 to 0.860). Conclusions: This study showed that the HINT-8 is a valid and reliable HRQoL instrument for patients with diabetes.

This study determines whether or not firms can achieve high productivity growth through external technology acquisition. It also identifies the key factors affecting adopting firms' productivity growth by employing the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) methodology, which features computational ease, low data dependency, and decomposition of productivity growth into technical efficiency change and technical change. Results showed that the effects of productivity growth arising from technology transfer became stronger over time. Moreover, patent transfer guaranteed firms' productivity growth, but no evidence was found that factors such as age and size could increase productivity. Finally, cultural similarity could be another factor conditioning the effectiveness of technology transfer in the productivity of adopting firms.

As a countermeasure for reduction of corrosion in the delivery and distribution pipes used for tap water, materials for the pipelines in-houses and the effect of water quality on corrosivity of water pipelines were investigated in the distribution system of Han river. As the corrosion index at 6 water purification facilities of Han river, average Langelier Saturation Index (LI) of raw and finished water were -1.0 and -1.4 respectively and average Larson Index (LR) were 9.5 and 9.9, respectively. And also corrosion potential showed corrosivity in finished water (-431~-462 mV) as well as raw water (-426~-447 mV). This results indicate that tap water quality of han river have corrosivity. To understand the corrosivity effect in pipe material used for premise distribution system, water quality of stagnant tap water and tap water were analyzed and the differences between them were calculated. The difference concentration of iron, copper and zinc were $12.9{\mu}g/L$, $31.0{\mu}g/L$ and $45.0{\mu}g/L$ respectively in galvanized steel pipe for use more than 15 years and showed highest concentration. As a result, the control to corrosivity in the water pipelines, corrosivity control treatment in the water purification system can be applied. In advance it is necessary to monitor corrosivity of water quality using corrosive index because corrosivity may differ from the seasonal and regional characteristics and water chemicals dosage. For the future the guideline for corrosion index have to be established.

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and Quality of Life (QoL) between urban and rural residents in Koreausing data from the Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA). Methods: This study was analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 program (IBM SPSS Statistics), and a t-test was performed for difference between GOHAI and QoL, and a multiple regression analysis was used for association between the independent and dependent variables with confounding variables corrected. The statistical significance was p<0.05. Results: Urban residents' average QoL was statistically significantly higher rural residents'(Table 1, p>0.05). For subjects under the age of 65, the QoL increased by 0.30 points for urban residents and 0.39 points for rural residents according to GOHAI increased by one unit (Table 2, p>0.05). Also, for subjects aged 65 years or older, the QoL increased by 0.42 points for urban residents and 0.61 points for rural residents according to the GOHAI, increasing by one unit (Table 3, p>0.05). Conclusion: Through the results of this study, the quality of life of rural residents was lower than that of urban residents. The GOHAI had a stronger impact on QoL among rural residents than in urban areas. In order to address the disparity in QoL between urban and rural residents, it was believed that policies aimed at improving oral health for rural residents should b etaken in to account.
