  • The purpose of this study is to examine whether non-self perspective(NSP) reduces the negative effects of life stress experienced by middle-aged adults. an online survey was conducted using a sample of 207 adult men and women in their 40s and 50s, and a hierarchical regression analysis and simple slope analysis were performed. As a result, it was found that NSP modulates the negative effects of life stress on perceived stress and subjective well-being. Specifically, NSP reduced the positive effect of life event stress on perceived stress and reduced the negative effect on subjective well-being. The results of this study suggest that eastern and Buddhist self-view, NSP, has a buffering effect on life stress experienced by middle-aged adults. This study suggests that NSP should be considered as an important factor for coping with stress in middle-aged adults in counseling and clinical settings, and is expected to promote subsequent empirical research on the Buddhist concept of non-self. Finally, limitations and future studies are suggested.

  • The effects of resistant starch (RS) and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) addition on the properties of hard wheat flour were investigated. Total dietary fiber (TDF) levels of various NSP ranged from 78.3-100.0%, but TDF and RS levels of autoclaved RS3 and cross-linked RS4 were 16.1 and 35.0% and 13.2 and 90.9%, respectively. DF-supplemented flour increased swelling power, but RS4-supplemented flour exhibited the lowest it. Solubility increased with the addition of pectin and RS3, but decreased with the addition of cellulose and RS4. RS-supplemented flour had increased lightness (L), but decreased values of redness (a) and yellowness (b). RS3 and pectin increased the dough development time, but RS4, cellulose, and chitosan decreased it. The water absorptions of pectin- and RS4-supplemented flours increased, however the dough stability decreased. The initial pasting temperatures of RS- and NSP-supplemented flours increased regardless of amount added, but the maximum peak viscosity decreased for all except the pectin-supplemented flour.

  • Five species of lsotomidae from North Korea, including four new species lsotomurus griseus nsp., I. myohyangsanus nsp., Isotoma grana nsp., I. agrana n. sp. and one new record for North Korea, Folsomia octoculata Handschin, 1925 are described and discussed. The Korean Isotomidae, therefore, come to list 19 species in 6 genera including 15 species in six genera from South Korea.

  • A cold-adapted porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (CA-VR2332) was generated from the modified live virus strain VR2332. CA-VR2332 showed impaired growth when cultured at 37℃ with numerous mutations (S731F, E819D, G975E, and D1014N) in the hypervariable region of the NSP2, in which the mutation S731F might play a vital role in viral replication at 30℃. Conserved amino acid sequences of the GP5 protein suggests that CA-VR2332 is a promising candidate for producing an effective vaccine against PRRSV infection. Further studies on replication and immunogenicity in vivo are required to evaluate the properties of CA-VR2332.

  • A repeated $4{\times}4$ Latin square design was conducted with eight ileal cannulated castrates to examine the effect of source of starch and fiber on nutrient balance and energy metabolism. Pigs were fed on one of the four experimental diets: Control diet (C) mainly based on cooked rice; and diets P, S and W with the inclusion of either raw potato starch, sugar beet pulp or wheat bran supplementation, respectively. With the exception of an increased (p<0.05) energy loss from methane production with diet S observed, no significant differences (p>0.05) in the ratio of metabolizable energy (ME)/digestible energy, the utilization of ME for fat deposition and for protein deposition, energy loss as hydrogen and urinary energy were found between diets. The efficiency of utilization of ME for maintenance was lower (p<0.05) with diets P and S than with diet C. The inclusion of fiber sources (sugar beet pulp or wheat bran) or potato starch reduced the maintenance energy requirement. The fecal energy excretion was increased (p<0.05) with either sugar beet pulp or wheat bran supplementation, while it was unaffected (p>0.05) by addition of potato starch. In comparison with diets C and P, a lowered ileal or fecal digestibility of energy with diets S and W was observed (p<0.05). Feeding sugar beet pulp caused increased (p<0.05) daily production of methane and carbon dioxide and consequently increased energy losses from methane and carbon dioxide production, while it did not influence the daily hydrogen production (p>0.05). An increased (p<0.05) proportion of NSP excreted in feces was seen by the supplementation of wheat bran. Higher NSP intake caused an increased daily amount of NSP in the ileum, but the ileal NSP proportion as a percentage of NSP intake was unaffected by diets. Feeding potato starch resulted in increased daily amount of starch measured in the ileum and the proportion of ileal starch as a percentage of starch intake, while no significant influence on fecal starch was found. Higher (p<0.05) daily amount of fecal starch and the proportion of fecal starch as a percentage of starch intake were found with fiber sources supplementation compared with diets C and P. By increasing the dietary NSP content the fecal amount of starch increased (p<0.01).
