The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to value-added products is a remarkable approach for mitigating CO₂ emissions caused by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels. However, achieving the electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ still faces some bottlenecks, including the large overpotential, undesirable selectivity, and slow electron transfer kinetics. Various electrocatalysts including metals, metals oxides, alloys, and single-atom catalysts have been widely researched to suppress HER performance, reduce overpotential and enhance the selectivity of CO₂RR over the last few decades. Among them, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted a great deal of interest because of their advantages over traditional electrocatalysts such as maximized atomic utilization, tunable coordination environments and unique electronic structures. Herein, we discuss the mechanisms involved in the electroreduction of CO₂ to carbon monoxide (CO) and the fundamental concepts related to electrocatalysis. Then, we present an overview of recent advances in the design of high-performance noble and non-noble singleatom catalysts for the CO₂ reduction reaction.

USN의 중계경로에 대한 연구는 주로 비공간 데이터를 위주로 이루어지고 있으며 지도 중첩법에 의한 공간분석이 이루어지지 않아 신뢰성에서 한계를 노출하고 있다. 본 연구는 공간변수별로 가중치를 부여하고 전파 확산 예측모델과 연계하여 전계강도를 산출하고 이에 의거하여 중계망의 분포를 지도화하였다. 전파장애에 개입되는 다양한 공간 변수를 통합하여 제작된 컴퓨터 지도는 기존에 조사지점에만 국한된 통계 수치정보가 지닌 한계를 극복하고 시청각 효과를 이용하여 광역적인 중계망 변화 추이를 시각적으로 제시하였다. 개별 셀과 연구지역 전체에 대해 전파중계망에 대한 정량적인 근거는 다양한 자료처리능력, 신속성을 바탕으로 지금까지는 불가능했던 전파 중계망에 대한 실시간 지도화 기능을 제공하였고 노드의 장애가 발생하였을 경우 대안을 마련하기 위한 보조수단으로서 활용가치가 매우 높을 것으로 사료된다.

영상은 어린이들의 호기심을 불러일으키고 많은 것을 접하게 하여 자연스러운 학습을 유도한다. 특히 애니메이션은 어린이들을 사회화시킴은 물론, 자아 정체성을 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 애니메이션 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성 재현은 중요하다. 애니메이션 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성의 재현 방식은 시각정보를 통한 재현방식과 내러티브를 통한 재현방식으로 나누어 볼 수 있으며, 내러티브를 통한 재현방식이 시각정보의 재현방식을 더욱 확고히 해줌을 알 수 있다. 또한 애니메이션 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성의 양상을 살펴보면, 보수적이고 상업적인 이데올로기를 투영하는 젠더 고정관념과 일치하는 캐릭터와 젠더 고정관념에서 탈피하고자하는 캐릭터로 구분되어 진다. 그러나 젠더 고정관념을 탈피하고자하는 캐릭터의 재현 역시 젠더 역할의 과장이나 희화를 통한 비판에 그치고 있다. 따라서 애니메이션 캐릭터들은, 여성이나 남성으로 구분되는 스테레오타입으로 재현되는 것이 아닌, 하나의 인간으로서의 가치를 주체적으로 형성해 가는, 미래지향적인 젠더 정체성을 가진 캐릭터들로 재현되어야 한다. 미래지향적인 젠더 정체성을 재현하는 애니메이션은 어린이들에게 올바른 자아 개념과 젠더 역할을 심어주며, 이미 획득된 전통적인 젠더 정체성을 완화시키는 역할을 수행한다.

A Gram-positive, non-motile, and non-spore-forming lactic acid bacterium, designated as BK2^T, was isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented vegetable food, and the taxonomic characteristics of strain BK2^T, along with strain LMG 11983, were analyzed. Both strains optimally grew at 30℃, pH 7.0, and 1.0% NaCl. Cells of both strains were heterofermentative and facultatively anaerobic rods, demonstrating negative reactions for catalase and oxidase. Major fatty acids (>10%) identified in both strains were C_18:1 ω9c, C_16:0, and summed feature 7 (comprising C_19:1 ω6c and/or C_19:1 ω7c). The genomic DNA G+C contents of both strains were 44.7 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99.9%), average nucleotide identity (ANI; 99.9%), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH; 99.7%) value between strains BK2^T and LMG 11983 indicated that they are different strains of the same species. Strain BK2^T was most closely related to Weissella confusa JCM 1093^T and Weissella cibaria LMG 17699^T, with 100% and 99.4% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. However, based on the ANI and dDDH values (92.3% and 48.1% with W. confusa, and 78.4% and 23.5% with W. cibaria), it was evident that strain BK2^T represents a distinct species separate from W. confusa and W. cibaria. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic features, strains BK2^T and LMG 11983 represent a novel species of the genus Weissella, for which the name Weissella fermenti sp. nov. is proposed. The type of strain is BK2^T (=KACC 22833^T=JCM 35750^T).

The author has intended to seek for the usefulness of price-level change accounting information through financial statements of general price level. The accounting information obtained from financial statements of general price level, must be useful to the reasonable judgment of financial statement users or to the economic decision making, This thesis may be summarized as follows : 1. Financial statements arranged by historical cost accompany many problems as accounting information. In other words, at the time of inflation, they have little usefulness as accounting information. 2. In order to correct the little usefulness of the financial statements arranged by historical cost, the author examined this matter centering around FASB statement No. 33. 3. The price level change accounting eliminates the contradiction of the accounting information obtained from the financial statements arranged by historical cost. 4. In the general price level change accounting, money value is presumed to change according to the level of general price and, then, the money value for goods must be revised. 5. In the general price level change accounting, the division between monetary items of asset and debt, and non-monetary items, is important. 6. The general price level change accounting based upon historical cost accounting, has objectivity as accounting information like the cost basis accounting and larger usefulness than the cost basis accounting. In conclusion, the price level change accounting increases its usefulness as accounting information and, therefore. (1) the information on the general price level change accounting is desirable to be disclosed as supplementary information for the traditional financial statements, and (2) the general price level change accounting should be induced to the listed Companies in Korea under continuing inflation for improving the usefulness of financial statements as accounting information.

This study was to investigate the effect of the addition of red ginseng powder in Dasik. The addition of red ginseng powder in Dasik that we used with was in the ratio of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of red ginseng powder to Dasik in weight. Also, we used two different kinds of Dasik. One was made of starch and the other was made of flour. The physic-chemical analysis and sensory test were performed on the Dasik. The red ginseng powder added flour and starch Dasik showed lower moisture content and higher ash content compared with the non-added control group. In color analysis, whereas L value lowed at the addition of red ginseng powder, a and b value increased at the addition of red ginseng powder. In mechanical texture test, addition of red ginseng powder starch Dasik showed high hardness, cohesiveness and brittleness. Addition of red ginseng powder flour Dasik showed high springiness and gumminess. In the sensory test, the addition of the red ginseng powder reduced the sweetness and increased the surface color and the flavor. There was no difference in preference between the Dasik with up to 4% of red ginseng powder added and the control group, but the Dasik with 6% or more red ginseng was found undesirable (p<0.05). In conclusion, the Dasik with up to 4% addition of red ginseng powder would be the useful method to fulfill the traditional quality of Dasik. It was also found that the flour Dasik was to be more preferable than the starch Dasik.

Pig production is one of the viable enterprises of the livestock sub-sector of agriculture. It contributes significantly to the economy and animal protein supply to enhance food security in Africa and globally. This article explored the present status of pig production in Africa, the challenges, prospects and potentials. The pig population of Africa represents 4.6% of the global pig population. They are widely distributed across Africa except in Northern Africa where pig production is not popular due to religio-cultural reasons. They are mostly reared in rural parts of Africa by smallholder farmers, informing why majority of the pig population in most parts of Africa are indigenous breeds and their crosses. Pig plays important roles in the sustenance of livelihood in the rural communities and have cultural and social significance. The pig production system in Africa is predominantly traditional, but rapidly growing and transforming into the modern system. The annual pork production in Africa has grown from less than a million tonnes in year 2000 to over 2 million tonnes in 2021. Incidence of disease outbreak, especially African swine fever is one of the main constraints affecting pig production in Africa. Others are lack of skills and technical know-how, high ambient temperature, limited access to high-quality breeds, high cost of feed ingredients and veterinary inputs, unfriendly government policies, religious and cultural bias, inadequate processing facilities as well as under-developed value-chain. The projected human population of 2.5 billion in Africa by 2050, increasing urbanization and decreasing farming population are pointers to the need for increased food production. The production systems of pigs in Africa requires developmental research, improvements in housing, feed production and manufacturing, animal health, processing, capacity building and pig friendly policies for improved productivity and facilitation of export.

Leaf fibers have many good properties; they are strong, long, cheap, abundant and bio-degradable. Since they, however, contain a great quantity of non-cellulose components, they have been used for the materials of mats, ropes, bags and nets rather than those of clothing. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of leaf fibers in order to promote the use of leaf fibers for the materials of clothing as well as develop the high value-added textile fibers. Leaf fiber plants including New Zealand Flax, Henequen and Banana plant, which have various nature and shape, were used. New Zealand Flax and Henequen leaves were cut from lower part of plants. Banana leaves and pseudo-stems were peeled and cut from the stem of Banana plants. First, the thin outer skins like film of leaves, veins and stems were removed before retting. The chemical retting had been processed for 1hour, at 100 in 0.4% $H_2SO_4$ aqueous solution(liquid ratio 50:1). Then, the retted leaf fibers had been soaked for 1hour, at room temperature in 0.5% NaClO solution(v/v) to remove the miscellaneous materials. We investigated the physical characteristics of three leaf fibers including the transversal and longitudinal morphology, the contents(%) of pectin, lignin and hemicellulose, the length and diameter of fibers, the tensile strength of the fiber bundles, and the fiber crystallinity and the moisture regain(%). The lengths of fiber from three leaf fibers were similar to their leaf lengths. The fiber bundles were composed of the cellulose paralleled to the fiber axis and the non-cellulose intersecting at right angle with the fiber axis. The diameters of New Zealand Flax, Henequen and Banana fibers were $25.13{\mu}m$, $18.16{\mu}m$ and $14.01{\mu}m$, respectively and their tensile strengths were 19.40 Mpa, 32.16 Mpa and 8.45 Mpa, respective. The non-cellulose contents of three leaf fibers were relatively as high as 40%. If the non-cellulose contents of leaf fibers might be controlled, leaf fibers could be used for the materials of textile fiber, non-wovens and Korean traditional paper, Hanjee.

Microbial transglutaminase(MTGase)를 이용하여 쌀 가수분해물과 초미세 생대두 분말을 혼합하여 전두부를 제조한 후 조직감, 동적점탄성, 단백질 결합패턴 및 미세구조를 평가하였다. 40%(w/v) 쌀 용액을 Termamyl 효소처리($85^{\circ}C$, 20분) 하였을 때 점조도 값 및 환원당 함량이 각각 $1.27\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, 9.0%로 나타났다. MWSP 18~22% 농도에서 MTGase 효소로 응고시킨 전두부의 물성을 측정한 결과 MWSP 22% 첨가구에서 전형적인 두부의 조직감을 얻었으며, 쌀 가수분해물 7.5% 첨가구의 경우 경도 639.6 dyne/$cm^2$, 탄성 0.96으로 나타났다. MTGase 5%의 첨가 조건에서 MWSP 18~22% 농도에 따라 동적점탄성을 측정한 결과 MWSP 22% 첨가 경우 반응 6분 이내 G'(5.1 Pa) 및 G''(9.0 Pa)값으로 높게 나타났다. MWSP 22% 첨가구에서 시간에 따른 SDS-PAGE 상에서 대부분의 콩 단백질은 30분 이내에 중합되어 고분자중합체를 형성하였으며, 쌀 가수분해물이 첨가된 경우에도 대부분의 콩 단백질들이 중합되는 유사한 경향을 보였다. 쌀이 첨가된 전두부의 미세구조는 균일한 입자로 채워진 네트워크 구조를 보였으나 냉장저장 2일 후에는 쌀을 첨가하지 않은 대조구에 비해 더욱 거칠어진 표면을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 최대한 인삼의 외형을 원형삼 형태의 홍삼과 유사하게 유지하면서도 기능성은 증진시킬 수 있는 신속한 고온고압 처리 공정을 확립하기 위하여 다양한 고온고압 처리공정 조건에 따른 이화학적 성분 특성 및 항산화 활성 변화를 살펴보았다. 산성다당체 및 홍삼 특유의 진세노사이드 Rh1, Rg2, Rg3의 함량은 $140^{\circ}C$, $3kg/cm^2$의 고온고압 처리조건에서 가장 높은 반면, 총 페놀 화합물 및 말톨 함량은 $156^{\circ}C$, $5kg/cm^2$의 고온고압 처리조건에서 가장 높았다. 그러나 홍삼의 증자 처리 시 $156^{\circ}C$, $5kg/cm^2$의 처리조건에서는 시료가 터지거나 외형의 변형이 심하기 때문에 $140^{\circ}C$, $3kg/cm^2$를 최적 온도 및 압력으로 설정하였다. 한편, 증자 시간이 증가함에 따라 총 페놀 화합물, 말톨 및 흑삼특이 진세노사이드 함량은 지속적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 20분간 처리한 군의 외형이 기존의 홍삼과 가장 유사한 외관을 나타냈으므로, $140^{\circ}C$, $3kg/cm^2$에서 20분 동안 증자 처리하는 것을 본 실험의 최적 조건으로 설정하였다. 최종적으로 이러한 최적조건을 통해 제조된 홍삼의 항산화 효능을 분석한 결과, 시중에서 판매되는 백삼, 홍삼 및 흑삼과 비교하여 높은 항산화 성분 및 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 확립된 고온고압 처리를 통한 신규홍삼 제조기술은 그 형태가 기존의 홍삼 제품과 유사하면서도 공정이 신속하고, 품질은 흑삼과 비슷한 고기능성 신규 인삼제품 개발 시 응용 가능한 공정으로 사료된다.
