Background: To elucidate the relationship between safety culture maturity and safety performance of a particular company. Methods: To identify the factors that contribute to a safety culture, a survey questionnaire was created based mainly on the studies of $Fern{\acute{a}}ndez-Mu{\tilde{n}}iz$ et al. The survey was randomly distributed to 1000 employees of two oil companies and realized a rate of valid answer of 51%. Minitab 16 software was used and diverse tests, including the descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, mean analysis, and correlation, were used for the analysis of data. Ten factors were extracted using the analysis of factor to represent safety culture and safety performance. Results: The results of this study showed that the managers' commitment, training, incentives, communication, and employee involvement are the priority domains on which it is necessary to stress the effort of improvement, where they had all the descriptive average values lower than 3.0 at the level of Company B. Furthermore, the results also showed that the safety culture influences the safety performance of the company. Therefore, Company A with a good safety culture (the descriptive average values more than 4.0), is more successful than Company B in terms of accident rates. Conclusion: The comparison between the two petrochemical plants of the group Sonatrach confirms these results in which Company A, the managers of which are English and Norwegian, distinguishes itself by the maturity of their safety culture has significantly higher evaluations than the company B, who is constituted of Algerian staff, in terms of safety management practices and safety performance.

Biomedical laboratory is full of risks. Risk could be biological, chemical, radioactive, mechanical, physical, fire and electrical. All possible risks need to be identified, evaluated and controlled. A risk management system must be in place to prevent accident or loss of lives and to improve overall workplace safety and productivity. Safety in laboratory is a combination of appropriate risk management system, engineering controls and technical facilities, administrative controls and safety procedures and practices. Laboratory safety culture must be developed so that exposure to hazards for laboratory personnel, community and environment will be minimized or eliminated. In this review, importance of safety in a biomedical laboratory and risk management will be discussed.

Lactobacillus spp.같은 유산균은 탄수화물을 발효하여 ATP를 생성하며, 시판되는 요구르트 생산에 이용되고 있다. Lactobacillus spp.는 장관계 건강에 유익한 균으로, 특히 Lactobacillus acidophilus를 함유하는 요구르트는 대장암 초기단계를 예방하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 관심이 모아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고형 요구르트와 액상 요구르트, 그리고 Lactobacillus acidophilus 세 그룹의 유산균을 배양하였다. 먼저 Lactobacillus spp.의 최적의 배양조건을 조사하였고 세 그룹의 생장능과 젖산생성을 비교하기 위해 혼탁도와 pH를 측정하였다. 배양 상층액의 젖산을 비교하기 위해 HPLC를 시행하였으며 Staphylococcus aureus와 Escherichia coli에 대한 항균력을 측정하였다. Lactobacillus spp.의 최적의 배양조건은 $25^{\circ}C$의 온도로 MRS배지에서 24시간 배양이었다. 혼탁도와 젖산 생성은 L. acidophilus가 가장 높았고 액상 요구르트, 고형 요구르트 순으로 나타났다. Paper disk법을 이용한 항균력 시험에서는 S. aureus에 대해서는 세 그룹 모두 항균력이 없었으며 E. coli에 대해서는 L. acidophilus에서 1.8 mm의 억제대를 보였다. 이 연구결과로 L. acidophilus는 높은 젖산 생성 능력과 항균력을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Streptococcus lactis IFO 12007의 nisin 생산을 위한 발효조건을 검토하였다. Nisin 생성을 위한 포도당의 농도는 60g/ι이며 pH와 온도는 각각 6.5와 3$0^{\circ}C$이었다. 이 조건에서 최대 2,000IU/$m\ell$의 생산량을 보이며 이 때 specific glucose uptake rate: 0.59g/g/h, specific nisin productivity는 34924iu/g/h, growth yield는 0.24, 7시간 후 균체 생산량은 4.81g/ι이었다. 비성장속도는 온도와 pH에 의하여 영향을 많이 받으며 증식활성화 에너지는 1.35kca1/ mole이었다. 유가배양에 의하여 1420IU/$m\ell$의 nisin을 생산하며 연속배양은 0.38h$^{-1}$까지 가능하고 이때 nisin 농도는 740IU/m1, specific nisin productivity는 45000IU/g/h, true growth yield 는 0.144, maintenance energy는 207mg glucose/g-cell/h 이었다.

대학 연구실 내 다양한 화학적, 물리학적, 생물학적 유해위험요인들로 인해 안전사고는 꾸준히 발생하고 있으며 이를 개선하기 위한 정부 정책하에 각 대학은 연구실 사전유해위험인자 도출, 연구환경측정 등 다양한 노력을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2016-2020년간 종합대학 연구실 사고사례 192건에 대한 통계 및 교차분석을 통해 사고 발생의 경향 및 관련 인자들의 상관관계를 도출하였다. 주요 인자별 상관관계로부터 대응 방향과 전략을 마련하였으며 연구실 사고에 대한 기존의 정책 방향을 비교·분석하여 연구실 안전관리제도의 개선방향을 제시하였다.

공공기관 실험실은 화학물질을 취급하는 시설로써 소량이지만 다양한 종류를 취급하고 있어 소량 취급시설로서 안전관리를 하고 있다. 화학물질의 유해성은 취급규모에 상관없이 발생할 수 있으며, 소량 취급시설일지라도 강산 등 위험성이 큰 물질을 취급하기 때문에 화학사고 발생가능성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 화학물질을 취급하는 공공기관 실험실 종사자를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 안전의식을 조사하여 의식수준을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 조사항목인 안전관련규정 및 작업절차, 안전보건 조직, 안전보건 교육, 실험실 안전보건관리에 대해서 각각 제시했으며, 향후 안전보건 정책 및 계획의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

The laboratory culture study of Porphyra seriata Kjellman from Korea was conducted at different conditions of temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30${^{\circ}C}$), photon flux densities (10, 20, 40 and 80 $\mu$mol $^{-2}s^{-1}$) and photoperiods (14L: 10D and 10L:14D). Conchocelis filaments grew fast at 15-20${^{\circ}C}$ and 20-80 $\mu$mol $^{-2}s^{-1}$ under both photoperiods. Concho sporangial branches were produced at 5-25${^{\circ}C}$, and abundant when the conchocelis filaments were cultured at higher temperatures of 20-25${^{\circ}C}$ under both photoperiods. Foliose thalli grew well at 15-20${^{\circ}C}$ under 10L:14D and at 20${^{\circ}C}$ under 14L:10D. At 30${^{\circ}C}$, the foliose thallus failed to survive. No archespores were observed at any culture conditions. Spermatangia and zygotosporangia were formed in squarish patches at the upper marginal portion of mature thalli. Anatomical examination revealed that the mature spermatangia were 64 (a/4, b/2, c/8) and 128 (a/4, b/4, c/8), and that of zygotosporangium was 16 (a/2, b/2, c/4) according to the Hus' formula.

The ultimate goal of human assisted reproductive technology is to achieve a healthy pregnancy and birth, ideally from the selection and transfer of a single competent embryo. Recently, techniques for efficiently evaluating the state and quality of preimplantation embryos using time-lapse imaging systems have been applied. Artificial intelligence programs based on deep learning technology and big data analysis of time-lapse monitoring system during in vitro culture of preimplantation embryos have also been rapidly developed. In addition, several molecular markers of the secretome have been successfully analyzed in spent embryo culture media, which could easily be obtained during in vitro embryo culture. It is also possible to analyze small amounts of cell-free nucleic acids, mitochondrial nucleic acids, miRNA, and long non-coding RNA derived from embryos using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or digital PCR, as well as next-generation sequencing. Various efforts are being made to use non-invasive evaluation of embryo quality (NiEEQ) to select the embryo with the best developmental competence. However, each NiEEQ method has some limitations that should be evaluated case by case. Therefore, an integrated analysis strategy fusing several NiEEQ methods should be urgently developed and confirmed by proper clinical trials.
