  • The purpose of this research is to develop a water environmental education (EE) program using streams, based on the core ideas of ENVISION and materializing elements that were extracted in this research. This research realized the elements and presented a model of the water EE program using a local stream. First, this research developed a basic model of a water EE program using streams by extracting 10 materializing elements and realizing the elements in 4 stage-procedural model. The 10 materializing elements were 1. experiencing the process of inquiry, 2. inquiring local environments, 3. self-directing learning and mutual interaction with colleagues, 4. collecting real data and interpreting, 5. utilizing the ICT(information and communication technology), 6. inquiring with the view point of the 'Environmental Studies for EE', 7. inquiring with the watershed concept, 8. inquiring with the integrating and the holistic view point, 9. pursuing the macroscopic understanding about environment, and 10. connecting the real world phenomena with the environmental concepts and theories. This research materialized these 10 elements in 4 stage model, following the previous ENVISION research, which are 1. preparing stage and visual assessment, 2. writing the report of the inquiry plan, 3. collecting the real data in the environment and performing the investigation, and 4. presenting the inquiry results. Second, with using this basic model, this research developed and presented a model of the specific water EE program using a case stream called 'Baig Cheon' stream, which is a local stream. This research is considered to have a considerable meaning in developing a EE program with ENVISION ideas for the watershed concept and inquiry with environmental science using local streams. The developed model can help the professional development of teachers and teacher education of water EE.

  • In inflammatory responses, induction of cytokines and other immune regulator genes in macrophages by pathogen-associated signal such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a crucial role. In this study, the gene expression profile changes by LPS treatment in the macrophage/monocyte lineage cell line RAW264.7 was investigated. A 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray of which probes target 32381 mouse genes was used. A reverse transcription-in vitro translation labeling protocol and a chemileuminescence detection system were employed. The mRNA expression levels in RAW264.7 cells treated for 6 h with LPS and the control vehicle were compared. 747 genes were up-regulated and 523 genes were down-regulated by more than 2 folds. 320 genes showing more than 4-fold change by LPS treatment were further classified for the biological process, molecular function, and signaling pathway. The biological process categories that showed high number of increased genes include the immunity and defense, the nucleic acid metabolism, the protein metabolism and modification, and the signal transduction process. The chemokine-cytokine signaling, interleukin signaling, Toll receptor signaling, and apoptosis signaling pathways involved high number of genes differentially expressed in response to LPS. These expression profile data provide more comprehensive information on LPS-target genes in RAW264.7 cells, which will be useful in comparing gene expression changes induced by extracts and compounds from anti-inflammatory medicinal herbs.

  • This technical paper deals the practical transformation algorithms between several lunar reference frames which will be used for Korea pathfinder lunar orbiter (KPLO) flight operation. Despite of various lunar reference frame definitions already exist, use of a common transformation algorithm while establishing lunar reference frame is very important for all members related to KPLO mission. This is because use of slight different parameters during frame transformation may result significant misleading while reprocessing data based on KPLO flight dynamics. Therefore, details of practical transformation algorithms for the KPLO mission specific lunar reference frames is presented with step by step implementation procedures. Examples of transformation results are also presented to support KPLO flight dynamics data user community which is expected to give practical guidelines while post processing the data as their needs. With this technical paper, common understandings of reference frames that will be used throughout not only the KPLO flight operation but also science data reprocessing can be established. It is expected to eliminate, or at least minimize, unnecessary confusion among all of the KPLO mission members including: Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as well as other organizations participating in KPLO payload development and operation, or further lunar science community world-wide who are interested in KPLO science data post processing.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella serotypes in duck farms of Jeollanam-do Province, South Korea. A total of 1112 samples (breeder ducks, 286; broiler ducks, 826) were collected from 196 duck farms (breeder duck farms, 25; broiler duck farms, 171) between January 2018 and November 2019. The total prevalence of Salmonella serotypes was 45.4% (89/196) in the duck farms, with no significant difference between prevalence in breeder and broiler duck farms (48% and 45%, respectively; P>0.05). The most prevalent serotype among the 127 Salmonella isolates was Salmonella Typhimurium (20.5%) followed by Salmonella Albany (17.3%), Salmonella Hadar (15.7%), and Salmonella Enteritidis (11.8%). Maximum resistance was observed against penicillin (78.74%), followed by tetracycline (68.50%), and kanamycin (65.35%). Of the 127 isolates, 117 (92.13%) were resistant to ≥3 antimicrobials and 2 to all 18 antimicrobials. Our results demonstrate the presence of Salmonella strains and their resistance to multiple antimicrobials, thus indicating a public health concern in South Korea. The emergence of Salmonella stains that are resistant to multiple drugs highlight the need for careful use of antimicrobials in duck farms.

  • The purpose of this research was to assess the trends in research and curriculum of college education program in fashion marketing, and to suggest the implications for the research and education of fashion marketing business. The data extracted from the articles published in JKSC/IJCF and the college education curricula from 2006 to 2015 were examined to compare the result with the trend for the last 30 years of JKSC/IJCF research trend and education curricular based on the previous research. The results indicated that more than 70% of research was focused on consumer- oriented subject, such as consumer decision making process and consumer behavior, while more than 70% of education program was directed on firm-oriented subject, such as merchandising and marketing management. These results implied a slight shift for the academic research from consumer to firm oriented when comparing the result with the last 30 years of data, although the education was reclined conversely. The academic research and education program should be related in order to provide fashion industries with well educated human resources.

  • This study was conducted using the literature review and survey research to analyze the operational status and effectiveness of the single-track accredited program, which has been mandatory since 2016. The research targets to achieve the purpose of the study were the nationwide engineering education accreditation system operating colleges, departments, and engineering education innovation centers. Finally, 183 copies were collected from faculty members at 69 colleges and 554 copies at the department level. As a result of the survey, the college recognized more positively about the operation of the single-track accredited program, and more than 50% of respondents said that there were difficulties due to the operation of the system. The contents required were analyzed and presented. Based on this, the engineering education accreditation system, including the single-track accredited program, suggested the direction of support at the government level and the ABEEK level to better settle down in the field of engineering colleges.
