  • It is frequently pointed out that the Korean economy, with its scarce natural resources, would never have been able to achieve current levels of economic development without the massive provision of well-educated, hardworking human resources. Throughout the industrialization process ,full-fledged deployment and mobilization of qualified human resources have been the foundation to industrial policy and S&T policy. This paper describes the development of S&T human resources in Korea using various statistics including educational enrollment rates, unemployment rates, the allocation of researchers and R&D expenditures among sectors of performance, educational composition of employment within and across industries, technical human resource shortage rates, relative wage levels of SMEs, and composition of labor force by age-group and gender. While analyzing S&T human resources development, this paper discusses issues such as the mismatched demand and supply of skill and knowledge levels of the highly educated, the unbalanced distribution of S&T human resources between sectors, and the low utilization of the female and aged labor force. This paper suggests that the policy maker applies a hybrid of quantitative and qualitative policies to reduce the mismatches of supply and demand of skill and knowledge levels for each labor market categorized according to supply side.

  • 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 수용성 추출물이 정상 세포주 NIH3T3 mouse normal fibroblast cell 및 인체 종양 세포주 AGS human gastric cancer cell(위암), HCT-15 human colon cancer cell(대장암), Hep3B human hepatoma cancer cell(간암), MCF-7 human breast cancer cell(유방암), HeLa human cervical cancer cell(자궁경부암)에서 MTT(3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay 방법에 의한 세포 증식 억제와 암세포 증식억제의 기전 연구의 일환으로 apoptosis가 일어날 때 나타나는 DNA fragmentation을 agarose gel electrophoresis 방법으로 검토하였다. 인체 종양 세포주의 생육저해 효과가 발효 차가버섯 추출물이 비발효 차가버섯 추출물보다 강한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 동일한 실험조건하에서 마우스 정상 세포주 NIH3T3은 80% 이상의 생존율을 나타내어 정상 세포주에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에서 본 실험에 사용한 세포주 중에서 대장암 세포주 HCT-15에 대해 가장 세포 증식 억제효과가 뛰어났으며, 이러한 효과는 첨가 농도 의존적 이였다. 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에 의한 암세포 증식억제가 기전 연구로 apoptosis가 일어날 때 나타나는 DNA fragmentation을 세포로부터 genomic DNA를 분리하여 agarose gel electrophoresis 방법으로 조사한 결과, 정상세포인 NIH3T3 세포는 DNA fragmentation이 거의 일어나지 않아 세포 생존율 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였으나, 특히 대장암 세포주인 HCT-15에서는 발효 차가버섯뿐만 아니라 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에서도 DNA fragmentation이 많이 일어나는 것이 관찰되어 암세포 증식억제 효과가 높다는 결과를 뒷받침 해주고 있다.

  • 저출산 고령화에 따라 생산가능인구가 감소하면서 인적자원의 활용도 제고는 주요 정책 의제로 대두되고 있다. 전환가능역량은 인적자원 활용도를 제고하기 위한 핵심 요인으로 부각되고 있다. 동 논문에서는 최근 2년간 노동시장에 진입한 신규 이공계 인력의 전환가능역량을 조사하였다. 주요 결과로 1) 팀워크, 문제해결, 창의력이 노동시장에서 가장 중요한 전환가능역량으로 조사되었고 2) 산업별로 요구되는 전환가능역량에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 공학교육 관점에서 정책적 시사점을 제시한다.

  • The objective of this study was to generate transgenic mice expressing human resistin gene by using the tetraploidembryonic stem (ES) cell complementation method. Human resistin gene was amplified from human fetal liver cDNA library by PCR, cloned into $pCR^{(R)}$ 2.1 $TOPO^{(R)}$ vector and constructed in pCMV-Tag4C vector. Mammalian expression plasmid containing human resistin was transfected into D3-GL ES cells by Lipofectamine 2,000, and then after 10-12 days of transfection, the human resistin-expressing cells were selected with G418. In order to produce tetraploid embryos, blastomeres of diploid embryos at the two-cell stage were fused with two times of electric pulse using 60 V 30 $\mu$sec (fusion rate: 2,114/2,256, 93.5%) and cultured up to the blastocyst stage (development rate: 1,862/2,114, 94.6%). The selected 15-20 ES cells were injected into tetraploid blastocysts, and then transferred into the uteri of E 2.5 d pseudopregnant recipient mice. To investigate the gestation progress, two E 19.5 mused fetuses were recovered by Cesarean section of which one fetus was confirmed to contain human resistin gene by genomic DNA-PCR. Therefore, our findings demonstrate that tetraploid-ES mouse technology can be considered as a useful tool to produce transgenic mice for the rapid analysis of gene function in vivo.

  • This paper dealt with the Korean manpower policy in science and technology, focusing on the contents and tools of the Special Act and its Master Plans. After briefly introducing the historical development of the Korean manpower policy from the 1960s to the present, it discussed and analyzed the Special Act and Plans from the framework of personnel development, distribution, utilization and infrastructure. Korea's science and technology manpower policy has focused on fostering and supplying manpower in line with the country's industrial growth strategy. In the early stage of industrial development during the 1960s and 1980s, government research institutes were direct and effective tools for nurturing S&T manpower. Since the 1990s, the importance of university research has increased. The government fostered graduate research manpower through the research-oriented university policy of the BK21 program. After the IMF financial crisis in 1997, the tendency of students to avoid careers in science and technology led to enacting the Special Act (2004) governing the field of S&T human resources. The Special Act has contributed to leveling up the university education system in science and engineering and sophisticated the policy to include entrepreneurship training, spin-off startups, industry-university cooperation, and offering degree programs. The Special Act and the regularly revised Master Plans have been essential tools in systematically managing the science and technology manpower policies of the Korean government.

  • 한국에서 전통적인 과학기술인력 직업군의 경계는 빠른 속도로 허물어지고 있다. 한편으로는 지식기반경제의 등장과 확장으로 과학기술이 전통적 활용영역을 넘어 확산됨에 따라 과학기술인력 역시 다양한 융합분야로 진출하고 있으며, 동시에 고학력 인구의 비중에 비해 고급 직종의 비중이 상대적으로 낮은 데에서 기인한 하향취업이 그러한 경향을 가속화시킨다. 이 논문에서는 박사급 이공계 인력에 초점을 맞추어 직업구성의 변화 추이를 살펴보고 그 결정요인을 실증적으로 분석하고자 한다. 구체적으로, 관련 직종을 전통적 과학기술직업군과 기타 직업군으로 나누어 그 비중의 변화를 도출하며, 이러한 직업구조의 변화에 대한 영향요인을 분석한다. 분석에는 과학기술정책연구원의 '2012 박사인력활동조사' 데이터를 활용하였다. 분석 결과는 이공계 박사인력의 직업구성에 뚜렷한 변화가 일어나고 있음을 보여준다. 직업다변화는 공학보다는 이학 분야에서, 공공보다는 민간 분야에서, 그리고 신규 세대일수록 더 빠르게 진행되고 있었다.

  • Nypa fruticans wurmb (NF) has been used as traditional medicinal food in Asian countries. Especially, NF has been used for conventional medicine to treat inflammatory periodontal diseases. Previous studies have been shown that NF has large amount of useful constituents such as phenolic acids, polyphenols and flavonoids. Also, NF is known as having medicinal effects such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering effects. NF has recently been attracted to use complementary medicinal food on inflammatory diseases in Korea. However, there are no obvious effects in inflammatory and metabolic diseases also mechanisms has been studied yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of NF and steamed-NF (SNF), which recently has been used as health food, using Human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) and Human mast cell line (HMC-1). The cytotoxicities of NF and SNF were measured by using MTT assays in HaCaT cells and HMC-1 cell. To evaluate anti-inflammatory effects of NF and SNF, HaCaT cells were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ and Interferon $(IFN)-{\gamma}$. Also, HMC-1 cells were stimulated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and A23187 calcium ionophore (A23187) to induce allergic inflammation. Inflammatory cytokine were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In this result, the extract of NF and SNF (0.01 - 1mg/ml) did not show cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells and HMC-1 cells. In addition, the NF and SNF suppressed the production of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in HaCaT cells at highest concentration. Furthermore, the treatment of SNF significantly inhibited the secretion level of IL-8 in PMA plus A23187-stimulated HMC-1 cells compared with NF treatment group. These results suggest that the extract of NF and SNF may serve as a potential therapy for skin inflammatory diseases.

  • Feline intestinal tritrichomoniasis by Tritrichomonas foetus was first recognized in USA in 1999 and has so far been reported from UK, Norway, Switzerland, and Australia, but not from the Far East Asian countries. In November 2008, 2 female and male littermate Siamese cats, 6-month old, raised in a household in Korea were referred from a local veterinary clinic with a history of chronic persistent diarrhea. A direct smear examination of fecal specimens revealed numerous trichomonad trophozoites which were isolated by the fecal culture in $InPouch^{TM}$ TF-Feline medium. A PCR testing of the isolate based on the amplification of a conserved portion of the T. foetus internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions (ITS1 and ITS2) and the 5.8S rRNA gene, and the molecular sequencing of the PCR amplicons confirmed infection with T. foetus. This is the first clinical case of feline intestinal trichomoniasis caused by T. foetus in Korea.
