Due to rapid decrease in population of farming and fishing villages and drain of young rural manpower to the cities, aging is being intensified, and the conditions of housing and welfare of elderly households are inadequate. Currently, group home is being discussed as part of specialized housing and welfare support policy for the people in the vulnerable class with poor self-supporting abilities such as the aged living alone in farming and fishing villages, and aged farming and fishing households. So the purpose of this research is to present the basic data for proposing the policy of supplying group home through examining the realities of housing and welfare of the people in the vulnerable class in farming and fishing villages. Survey was conducted on the 4 regions -Cheonan-si, Gongju-si, Yesan-gun, and Seosan-si - whose apartments were all occupied by the residents among the group homes for the elderly living alone in Chungcheongnam-do and the following results were derived from the analysis on the data collected from the survey. First, great effects can be attained at small costs by reorganizing and utilizing the public facilities that are unused or little used and the existing houses that are exposed to risks due to improper maintenance. Second, it can be pointed out that the residential environment of the vulnerable members of society was improved without impairing the existing village landscape. Third, housing welfare was enhanced without investing a large sum of money and the system to promptly cope with negligent accidents and emergency can be built and operated. Fourth, the cases promoted to solve the problems of the poor, unhygienic, and unsafe housing of the elderly and the vulnerable members of society were very positive and well worthy of being presented as planning direction of future group homes in farming and fishing villages. Finally, if they are operated entirely for free, it will cause the lack of the sense of ownership and the problems in securing the budget, so the ways of paying minimum individual housing expenses should be examined. The alternatives of housing welfare for the vulnerable members of farming and fishing villages are needed and the ways of constructive planning and researches should be continuously made. Also, the government's support policy should be actively promoted.

사람은 누구나 다 살아가면서 역경과 어려움을 겪기 마련이다. 하지만 부정적인 생활사건이나 스트레스를 경험하는 사람들이 모두 신체적, 심리적으로 부정적인 결과물은 내는 것은 아니다. 즉, 개인이 이용할 수 있는 자원에 따라 스트레스나 역경의 상황에 유연하게 대처하거나, 성공적으로 극복하고, 적응하고, 혁신적인 성과를 보이기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 상황에서 위기나 위협의 요인들을 완화시킬 수 있는 개인적 속성, 즉 회복탄력성의 중요성을 강조하며, 회복탄력성의 결과요인으로 혁신행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 개인특성인 회복탄력성과 혁신행동의 관계에 조직변수 즉, 환경적 요인으로 조직지원과 실책관리문화의 조절효과도 검증해보고자 한다. 이러한 연구목적에 따라 본 연구는 195명의 조직구성원을 표본으로 하여 회복탄력성이 혁신행동에 미치는 영향력과 이러한 관계에 대한 상사지원, 동료지원, 실책관리문화의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 회복탄력성은 조직구성원의 혁신행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 상사지원과 실책관리문화는 회복탄력성과 혁신행동 간 영향력을 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 조직구성원이 급변하는 조직외부환경에 적응하고 진취적이고 역동적이며, 도전적인 혁신행동을 발휘함에 있어 개인적 특성인 회복탄력성과 조직상황 변수인 조직지원과 실책관리문화가 긍정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 시사점을 제공한다. 즉, 조직에서는 조직구성원 개인의 회복탄력성을 발현하고 키울 수 있는 교육프로그램 제공 및 조직 분위기 조성이 필요하며, 실패를 두려워하지 않는 조직문화와 상사 및 동료 간 지원이 혁신행동을 증대시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The release of genetically modified organisms ($GMO_{s}$) into the environment has the potential risks regarding the possibility of gene transfer from $GMO_{s}$ to natural organisms and this needs to be evaluated. This study was conducted to monitor the possible horizontal gene transfer from herbicide-resistant zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) to indigenous microorganisms. We have first examined the effect of field-released GM zoysiagrass on the microbial flora in the gut of locust (Locusts mlgratoria). The microbial flora was analyzed through determining the 165 rDHA sequences of microorganisms. The comparison of the microbial flora in the gut of locusts that were captured at the field of GM zoysiagrass and of wild-type revealed that there is no noticeable difference between these two groups. This result indicates that the GM zoysiagrass does not have negative impact on microbial flora in the gut of locust. We then investigated whether the horizontal gene transfer occurred from GM zoysiagrass to microbes in soil, rhizosphere and faecal pellets from locusts by utilizing molecular tools such as Southern hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). When the total DNAs isolated from microbes in GM zoysiagrass and in wild-type zoysiagrass fields were hybridized with probes for bar or hpt gene, no hybridization signal was detected from both field isolates, while the probes were hybridized with DNA from the positive control. Absence of these genes in the FNAs of soil microorganisms as well as microbes in the gut of locust was further confirmed by PCR. Taken together, our data showed that horizontal gene transfer did not occur in this system. These results further indicate that frequencies of transfer of engineered plant DNA to bacteria are likely to be negligible.

식후고혈당은 제 2형 당뇨병의 발병에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 미세혈관 및 대혈관 질환 등의 당뇨병 합병증 유발과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 따라서 식후고혈당을 조절하는 것이 당뇨병 합병증의 위험을 줄이는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 식후고혈당은 소장에서 ${\alpha}$-글루코시다아제와 같은 탄수화물 소화 효소를 저해함으로써 조절될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물(PEE)과 물 추출물(PWE)이 탄수화물 소화 효소를 저해하고, 당뇨병 마우스에서 식후 고혈당을 강하시키는 효과에 대해 조사하였다. ${\alpha}$-글루코시다아제와 ${\alpha}$-아밀라아제에 대한 저해효과는 두 추출물 모두 양성대조군인 acarbose보다 더 효과적이었으며, PEE에 의한 ${\alpha}$-글루코시다아제 저해 효과가 PWE 보다 더 효과적이었다. Diabetic mice에 전분(2 g/kg)을 투여한 후의 혈당 증가는 30, 60, 120분에 각각 383.7, 429.3, 360.2 mg/dL로 나타났고, 전분(2 g/kg)과 PEE 또는 PWE 추출물(300 mg/Kg)을 투여한 후의 혈당 증가는 30, 60, 120분에 각각 337.0, 368.5, 290.1 mg/dL과 365.8, 379.2, 324.3 mg/dL로 나타나, PEE 추출물 투여군이 대조군에 비해 식후 혈당 강하가 효과적으로 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 쇠비름 추출물이 탄수화물 소화효소를 저해함으로써 식후 고혈당을 완화시키고, 특히 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물(PEE)이 쇠비름 물 추출물(PWE) 보다 식후 고혈당을 완화시키는데 더욱 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Unfavorable weather and soil conditions reduce rice yield and land and water productivity, aggravating existing encounters of poverty and food insecurity. These conditions are foreseen to worsen with climate change and with the unceasing irrational human practices that progressively debilitate productivity despite global appeals for more food. Our understanding of plant responses to abiotic stresses is advancing and is complex, involving numerous critical processes - each controlled by several genetic factors. Knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in signaling, response and adaptation, and in some cases the genes involved, is advancing. Moreover, the genetic diversity being unveiled within cultivated rice and its wild relatives is providing ample resources for trait and gene discovery, and this is being scouted for rice improvement using modern genomics and molecular tools. Development of stress tolerant varieties is now being fast-tracked through the use of DNA markers and advanced breeding strategies. Large numbers of drought, submergence and salt tolerant varieties were commercialized over recent years in South and Southeast Asia and more recently in Africa. These varieties are making significant changes in less favorable areas, transforming lives of smallholder farmers - progress considered incredulous in the past. The stress tolerant varieties are providing assurance to farmers to invest in better management of their crops and the ability to adjust their cropping systems for even higher productivity and more income, sparking changes analogous to that of the first green revolution, which previously benefited only favorable irrigated and rainfed areas. New breeding tools using markers for multiple stresses made it possible to develop more resilient, higher yielding varieties to replace the aging and obsolete varieties still dominating these areas. Varieties with multiple stress tolerances are now becoming available, providing even better security for farmers and lessening their production risks even in areas affected by complex and overlapping stresses. The progress made in these less favorable areas triggered numerous favorable changes at the national and regional levels in several countries in Asia, including adjusting breeding and dissemination strategies to accelerate outreach and enabling changes at higher policy levels, creating a positive environment for faster progress. Exploiting the potential of these less productive areas for food production is inevitable, to meet the escalating global needs for more food and sustained production systems, at times when national resources are shrinking while demand for food is mounting. However, the success in these areas requires concerted efforts to make use of existing genetic resources for crop improvement and establishing effective evaluation networks, seed production systems, and seed delivery systems to ensure faster outreach and transformation.

Purpose: This study was intended to perform a cephalometric comparison between the patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The factors influencing the OSA in the lateral cephalogram were also investigated. Methods: Fifty patients who had visited the Sleep Disorder Clinic at the Ajou University Hospital and evaluated with the polysomnograph (PSG) and cephalogram, were included in the study. The patients had the apnea-hypopnea episode over 5 times per hour (apnea-hypopnea index $[AHI]{\geq}5$) were diagnosed as OSA after the overnight PSG. To evaluate the hard and soft tissue profiles, the cephalometric radiograms were taken at the maximal intercuspation. The correlation between the patient's age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and AHI was inspected in the OSA and control group. The difference between the OSA and control group was evaluated (Mann-Whitney U Test). The cephalometric influencing factors to OSA were analyzed (Pearson's correlation coefficient) statistically using SPSS statistics. Results: The OSA Group had a significantly higher BMI than the control group. The mean lower facial height (ANS-Me) was longer in the OSA group; however, statistically significant difference was not detected in the anteroposterior craniofacial measurements. The distance between mandibular plane and hyoid bone of the OSA group was significantly longer than that of the control group. The hyoid position (MP-Hyoid) had a positive correlation between AHI (P<0.001). However, the measurements of oropharyngeal airway were not different between the two groups. The hypothesis, that the antero-posteriorly narrow oropharyngeal airway may aggravate the airway resistance and give rise to a higher AHI, was rejected in the study. Conclusion: We suggest that the lateral cephalogram may be utilized as a useful method to evaluate OSA. The patients with a lower hyoid position can be expected to have higher risks of OSA. However, a comprehensive intraoral inspection, including the soft palate and tonsilar hypertrophy, is emphasized, as the lateral cepahlogram cannot visualize the oropharyngeal status completely.

해상물류업에 기상기후정보의 이용은 자연재난으로 인한 리스크 감소, 정시도착, 고객으로부터 클레임 수 및 금액 감소, 화물파손 감소, 연료절감 등 다양한 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 기상기후정보 활용의 효율성을 표준화하는 데는 어려움이 있으나 Jeppesen사의 연료절감 성과를 적용하여 한국의 해상물류업에서 기상기후정보 활용의 경제적 성과를 VVOS의 성과를 기초로 분석한 결과, 2012년 기준으로 외항항해 국적선의 경우 약 622억 원의 연료 절감할 수 있었다. 그리고 내항항해의 경우, 연안의 풍속, 파고, 파주기 등이 화물운송에 큰 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다. 내항운송에 악영향을 미치는 주요 기상요소는 풍속, 파고, 파주기라고 할 수 있는데, 선박 입출항실적과 기상요소와의 관계는 파고와 풍속과는 음의 관계를 파주기와는 양의 관계를 보이고 있어, 기상기후를 정확히 예측하면 입출항 실적을 제고할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 구체적으로, 고정효과모형에서 5% 유의수준 하에서 파고 1m 이상인 일수가 1일 증가하면 선박입출항 실적이 9.605천 톤이, 평균 풍속이 1m/s 증가하면 35.391천 톤이 감소하였다. 그리고 파주기 1초 증가하면 31.204천 톤의 실적이 중가하였다.

Purpose - Following the speedy development of the smart phone industry, tourism companies started to increase their brand recognition and sales volume by adopting mobile applications. However, applications for tourism industries are still insignificant. This study tries to analyze empirical evidence from Korean and Chinese consumers who have used mobile tour applications. By using an expansion of the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study will find what factors have effects on user intention for mobile tour applications. The findings will be helpful for the development of mobile tour applications and the tourism industries. Research design, data, and methodology - This study uses the TAM, which was presented by Davis in 1989. This study uses consumer acceptance level, consumer choice attitude, and use intention as the basic variables to fit to the TAM, and adopts choice content quality, brand value, and usage motivation as additional variables to analyze. This study has developed several hypotheses and collected data from 620 users who used mobile applications for tourism during April 1 to April 30, 2015. A total of 612 valid questionnaires were collected and used in the data analysis. The data was analyzed with structural equation modeling using SPSS Win/pc and Amos 22.0. Results - The findings can be summarized as follows: First, the content quality affects the consumer acceptance degree and choice attitude. Second, the brand value has a directly positive effect on the consumer acceptance degree and choice attitude. It is clear that the content quality and brand value play important roles in raising consumer acceptance and choice attitude. Third, usage motivation has no effect on the consumer acceptance degree and choice attitude. Fourth, the acceptance degree does not have any effect on the consumer choice attitude. Fifth, the acceptance degree affects the use intention. Last, the consumer choice attitude affects the use intentions. This indicates that consumer acceptance and choice attitude must both be achieved to induce use intention among consumers. Finally, the effects of the mobile tour application content quality and brand value on consumer acceptance degree and choice attitude were confirmed. Additionally, the effects of the consumer acceptance degree and choice attitude on use intentions were analyzed. Conclusion - It is not meaningful for tourism marketing to launch tour applications in the mobile market without understanding tourism consumer characteristics. When developing mobile tour applications, companies should focus on the characters of consumer choice attitudes as high quality, high brand value, usefulness, and ease of mobile tour applications. This study has limitations in that it did not consider negative factors such as perceived risks or analyze whether there are differences between Korean and Chinese consumers. In the future, we will consider equipping the same mobile tour applications commonly used by both Korean and Chinese consumers, and then examine negative factors as well as the differences in mobile tour applications between Korean and Chinese consumers.
