The purpose of this study was to verify whether BND test was an appropriate tool for diagnosis of attachment security and to investigate difference of responsive Characteristics to the Bird's Nest Drawings according to parents attachment degree. The subjects in the study were 525 students, selected from senior high schools in D-city. The instruments used were parents attachment scale and Bird's Nest Drawings, and Discriminant analyses and crosstab analyses were used. The results were as follows. First, attachment indicators in the Bird's Nest Drawings discriminated according to group of parents attachment. Second, for male student, there was a significant difference placement nest, eggs, entire birds family, quality of line and tree picture according to attachment to father. For female student, there was a significant difference eggs, entire birds family, quality of line and tree picture according to attachment to father. For male student, there was a significant difference nest contents, placement nest, eggs, entire birds family, quality of line and tree picture according to attachment to mother. For female student, placement nest, space, nest size, eggs, entire birds family and quality of line according to attachment to mother.

Sialic acid, which is contained in about 60-160 mg/kg in the edible bird's nest (EBN), is known to facilitate in the proper formation of synapses and improve memory function. The objective of this study is to extract effectively the sialic acid from edible bird's nest using affinity bead technology (ABT). After preparing the non-polar polymeric bead "KJM-278-28A" having a porous network structure, and then desorbed sialic acid was concentrated and dried. The analysis of the physicochemical properties of bead "KJM-278-28A" showed that the particle size was 400-700 ㎛, the moisture holding capacity was 67-70%, the surface area (BET) was 705-900 ㎡/g, and the average pore diameter 70-87 Å. The adsorption capacity of the bead "KJM-278-28A" for sialic acid was shown a strong physical force to bind sialic acid to the bead surface of 400 mg/L. In addition, as a result of analyzing the adsorption and desorption effects of sialic acid on water, ethanol, and 10% ethanol on the bead, it was confirmed that desorption effectively occurs from the beads when only ethanol is used. As a result of HPLC measurement of the separated sialic acid solution, a total of four sialic acid peaks of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), α,β-anomer of Neu5Ac and N-glycoly-neuraminic acid were identified. Through these results, it was confirmed that it is possible to separate sialic acid from EBN extract with efficient and high yield when using ABT.

본 연구 목표는 조류 둥지에 의한 전신주 내의 사고를 사전에 방지하기 위해 전신주 중 둥지 설치가 가능한 공간 내에 센싱을 통해 조류가 둥지를 짓어 알을 낳기 전에 제거하기 위한 센서 노드 개발에 있다. 조류 둥지를 인식하기 위해서는 최초 설치하였을 때의 거리 측정 값과 이 후 측정되는 거리 값의 변화에 따라 예측 가능한 솔루션에 있다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트, 철판, 나무, 비닐봉지를 대상으로 적외선을 설계하고 시험하였다. 전신주 내에 놓일 수 있는 물체를 대상으로 실험하여, 각 각의 분광 반사율에 의해 감지되는 분광을 포토다이오드를 통한 값의 표준 편차 그래프를 통해 물체의 대상을 예측하며, 거리 측정이 가능하게 되었다. 본 실험 결과로서 적외선 센서를 통해 전신주 내의 위험물에 대한 대상 정보(콘크리트, 철판, 나무, 비닐봉지)를 습득하게 되고 전력망 모니터링을 통해 안전한 전력망 구축과 자연과 상생 가능한 환경에 이바지 할 것으로 예측된다.

The objective of this study was to produce a nutrient delivery system (NDS) using sialic acid extracted from edible bird's nest (EBN), which improves brain function in patients with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, by affinity bead technology (ABT). The inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pyramidal cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus were analyzed to investigate the effect of a sialic acid NDS on Alzheimer's disease. Also, the effect of a sialic acid NDS on Parkinson's disease was evaluated by rota-rod test and pole test in an animal model. Among the groups treated with donepezil, EBN, and sialic acid NDS, the AChE activity was the lowest in the sialic acid NDS-treated group. The results of the hippocampus analysis of the rat model confirmed that the sialic acid NDS inhibited amyloid-beta accumulation depending upon the concentration. Also, the sialic acid NDS group showed more improvement in motor deterioration than the1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced group in both the rota-rod test and pole test. Therefore, the sialic acid NDS had an effect of protecting not only Alzheimer's disease by inhibiting AChE and amyloid-beta accumulation, but Parkinson's disease by preventing neurotoxicity induced by MPTP.

경기도 이천에서 3개의 알을 산란하여 포란 중인 수리부엉이 둥지를 촬영하였다. 2개의 알에서 새끼가 부화하였으나 1마리는 사라졌고, 2007년 3월 8일 남은 1마리가 사망한 후 어미는 죽은 새끼를 먹었으며, 이튿날 어미는 번식을 포기하고 둥지를 떠났다.

Observations and video documentation of interactions between animals living in dens, cavities, and other enclosed spaces are difficult, but they play an important role in field biology, ecology, and conservation. For example, bird parents visiting nests and feeding their nestlings may provide crucial information for testing of ecological hypotheses and may easily attract attention of participants of citizen-science ecological and conservation projects. Because of the nest concealment of cavity-nesting birds, their behaviors in the nest can only be studied by using video surveillance. Professional wildlife surveillance systems are extremely expensive. Here, we describe an inexpensive video setup that can be constructed with relatively little effort and is more affordable than any previously described system. We anticipate that the relatively low cost of about 250 USD for a battery-operated system is an important feature for citizen-science type of projects and for applications in heavily populated areas where the potential for theft and vandalism may be high. Based on our experiences, we provide methodological advice on practical aspects of using this system in the field for ecological research on birds. We highlight the low cost, easiness of construction, and potential availability to a large number of observers taking part in wildlife monitoring projects, and we offer technical help to participants of such research projects.

안성 도시 소생태계 조성사업이 조류 군집 특성과 서식지 조성에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위하여 2016년과 2017년 5월과 10월 4회에 걸쳐 조류 군집 특성 조사를 실시하였다. 이번 조사를 통하여 연구지역에서 모두 24종 94개체의 조류가 관찰되었다. 우점종은 참새 Passer montanus 19.1%, 까치 Pica pica 12.8%, 물까치 Cyanopica cyana 8.51% 그리고 붉은머리오목눈이 Sinosuthora webbiana와 방울새 Carduelis sinica ussuriensis 각 7.45%였고, 종다양도는 2.787이었다. 관찰된 조류 25종을 이동성에 따라 나누어 보면 텃새 72.0%, 여름철새 20.0% 그리고 겨울철새 8.00%이었다. 번식조류(확인 또는 가능성) 22종의 영소길드는 수관층(C)을 이용하는 종 54.5%, 수동(H)을 이용하는 종 31.8%, 덤불(B)을 이용하는 종 9.09% 그리고 지표면(G)을 이용하는 종 4.55%이었다. 채이길드는 번식기와 비번식기로 나누었으며, 번식기에 관찰된 조류 23종은 수관층(C)을 이용하는 종 69.6%, 덤불(b)을 이용하는 종 21.7% 그리고 물(W)과 지표면(G)을 이용하는 종 각 4.35%였고, 비번식기에 관찰된 조류 25종은 수관층을 이용하는 종 64.0%, 덤불을 이용하는 종 24.0%, 지표면을 이용하는 종 8.00% 그리고 물을 이용하는 종 4.00%였다. 연구지역에서 조성된 대표적인 조류 서식지는 인공둥지와 습지(빗물정원)이다. 둥지는 연구지역에 모두 7개를 설치하였다. 박새 Parus major가 2016년과 2017년 각 한 둥지에서 번식하였고, 참새 Passer montanus가 2017년 한 둥지에서 번식하였다. 빗물 정원에서 지속 가능한 우수(rainwater)의 공급은 조류가 습지를 서식지로 이용하는데 중요한 요인으로 간주되었으나, 이번 조사에서는 습지로 조성된 빗물정원은 수량의 부족으로 이를 서식지로 이용하는 조류는 확인되지 않았다.
