This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary energy and crude protein (CP) levels on reproductive performance, litter performance, milk quality, and blood profiles in gestating sows. A total of 59 multiparous sows (Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace) with similar body weights (BW), backfat thickness (BF), and parity were assigned to one of six treatments with 9 or 10 sows per treatment using a $2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement and completely randomized design. The first factor was two levels of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) density (13.40 or 13.82 MJ/kg) and the second factor was three dietary protein levels based from 35 day in gestating phases (10.5%, 12%, and 13.5%). Backfat thickness change in lactating sows decreased linearly as CP level increased (p = 0.03). Increased energy level in the gestating sow diet tended to increase the total number of piglets born (p = 0.07), but piglet weight decreased (p = 0.02). Dietary CP level had a negative effect on colostrum quality. Casein, protein, total solid, and solids-not-fat concentrations decreased linearly and lactose level increased linearly as CP level in the gestating sow diet increased (casein%: p = 0.03; protein%: p = 0.04; lactose%: p = 0.06; total solids: p = 0.03; solid-not-fat: p = 0.03, respectively). However, improving ME by 0.42 MJ/kg had no significant effect on the chemical composition of sow colostrum. There were no significant differences in blood glucose concentration in gestating sows when sows were fed different levels of energy during gestation, but blood glucose increased at 21 day of lactation when energy increased by 0.42 MJ/kg (p = 0.04). Blood urea nitrogen concentration increased linearly when dietary CP levels increased at 110 day in gestation, 24-hours postpartum, and 21 days of lactation (linear, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, and p < 0.05, respectively), and it also increased when dietary energy increased at 110 days of gestation and 24-hours postpartum (p < 0.01, and p < 0.01, respectively). A gestating sow diet containing 13.82 MJ/kg ME and 10.5% CP can improve reproductive performance, litter performance, and colostrum quality.

자동차에서 배출되는 대기오염 물질로 인하여 인체 건강과 일상 활동이 막대한 피해를 입고 있어 대기오염 물질을 저감하기 위한 새로운 친환경 자동차나 자동차 개조 장치의 개발과 적용이 필요하다. 하지만 이러한 기술의 환경적 편익과 비용이 기존의 경제성 평가에서는 반영되지 않아 친환경기술의 보급에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동차에서 발생하는 대기오염 물질이 우리 사회에 끼치는 사회적 비용을 고려하여 친환경기술의 경제적 타당성을 평가하는 방법론을 제안하고, 이 방법론의 적용성과 타당성을 보여주기 위해 사례연구를 실시하였다. 현재 국내에서는 대기오염 물질의 사회적 비용이 평가되지 않았기 때문에 유럽에서 평가한 사회적 단위비용을 바탕으로 국내 자동차 배출가스 측정기준, 구매력 지수, 환율, 소비자 물가지수를 이용하여 국내에서 활용가능한 사회적 단위비용을 도출함으로써 경제적 타당성 평가에 활용할 수 있게 하였다. 사례연구에서는 경유버스를 개조하여 경유와 압축천연가스를 함께 사용할 수 있도록 하는 혼소시스템 기술에 대해 대기오염 물질의 사회적 비용을 포함한 경제성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법론은 자동차뿐만 아니라 다양한 친환경 기술, 사업, 정책의 타당성을 평가하는 데 활용될 수 있다.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to compare identified informative regions through two genome-wide association study (GWAS) approaches and determine the accuracy and bias of the direct genomic value (DGV) for milk production traits in Korean Holstein cattle, using two genomic prediction approaches: single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ss-GBLUP) and Bayesian Bayes-B. Methods: Records on production traits such as adjusted 305-day milk (MY305), fat (FY305), and protein (PY305) yields were collected from 265,271 first parity cows. After quality control, 50,765 single-nucleotide polymorphic genotypes were available for analysis. In GWAS for ss-GBLUP (ssGWAS) and Bayes-B (BayesGWAS), the proportion of genetic variance for each 1-Mb genomic window was calculated and used to identify informative genomic regions. Accuracy of the DGV was estimated by a five-fold cross-validation with random clustering. As a measure of accuracy for DGV, we also assessed the correlation between DGV and deregressed-estimated breeding value (DEBV). The bias of DGV for each method was obtained by determining regression coefficients. Results: A total of nine and five significant windows (1 Mb) were identified for MY305 using ssGWAS and BayesGWAS, respectively. Using ssGWAS and BayesGWAS, we also detected multiple significant regions for FY305 (12 and 7) and PY305 (14 and 2), respectively. Both single-step DGV and Bayes DGV also showed somewhat moderate accuracy ranges for MY305 (0.32 to 0.34), FY305 (0.37 to 0.39), and PY305 (0.35 to 0.36) traits, respectively. The mean biases of DGVs determined using the single-step and Bayesian methods were $1.50{\pm}0.21$ and $1.18{\pm}0.26$ for MY305, $1.75{\pm}0.33$ and $1.14{\pm}0.20$ for FY305, and $1.59{\pm}0.20$ and $1.14{\pm}0.15$ for PY305, respectively. Conclusion: From the bias perspective, we believe that genomic selection based on the application of Bayesian approaches would be more suitable than application of ss-GBLUP in Korean Holstein populations.

Objective: Owing to the lack of a breeding index for efficient and quick fertility evaluations of Holstein bulls when using traditional or genome-wide detection methods, this study aimed to determine whether in vitro fertilization (IVF) could be used as an indicator of conception rate of artificial insemination (AI). Methods: Conventional and sexed frozen semen from nine bulls were used for IVF and AI. Results: The IVF and AI conception rates of each bull were confirmed to be positively correlated between the conventional frozen and sexed frozen semen. The correlation coefficient R values of nine bulls between IVF and AI methods were 0.73 and 0.97 for the conventional frozen and sexed frozen semen, respectively. The average conception rate of three bulls undergoing AI was 69.5% and 64.2%, 61.8% and 58.8%, and 48.2% and 46.2% in first-, second-, and third-born cows when conventional frozen and sexed frozen semen were used, respectively, which showed a positive correlation with the fertilization rate in the same parity. We propose an evaluation standard to assess the fertilization ability of bulls based on their IVF test results, which is categorized into three grades: grade one, normal fertility bull with an AI conception rate of 40%±5% and IVF rate of 45% to 60%; grade two, higher fertility bull with an AI conception rate of 50%±5% and IVF rate of 61% to 80%; and grade three, highest fertility bull with an AI conception rate of 60%±5% and IVF rate of >80%. Conclusion: These findings reveal that IVF results can be used as a breeding index for bulls to evaluate their AI conception ability, which may shorten the time required to select bulls for breeding.

최근 상용화된 5G 이동통신의 주요한 특징은 High Data Rate와 Connection Density 그리고 Low Latency로 대표할 수 있는데, 이중 기존 4G와 가장 차별되는 특징은 Low Latency로 다양한 새로운 서비스 제공의 기반이 될 것이다. 이러한 특징을 활용한 서비스로는 AR, 자율주행 등이 검토되고 있으며 관련표준에서도 5G Network Latency 논의를 진행하고 있다. 그러나 서비스 관점의 E2E Latency 논의는 많이 부족한 것이 사실이다. 5G에서 Low Latency를 달성을 위한 최종목표는 RTD 기준 Air Interface 1ms 달성으로 이는 '20년 초 Rel-16을 통한 URLLC(Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communications)를 통해 가능하며, 추가적으로 MEC(Moble Edge Computing)를 통한 Network latency 감소도 연구 중이다. 전체 5G E2E Latency는 5G Network 관련 외에도 다양한 요인이 존재하는데, 주요 요인으로는 5G Network과 서비스 제공을 위한 IDC Server 사이의 경로에 놓인 선로/장비 Latency, 단말 App과 Server 내 서비스 처리를 위한 Processing Latency 등이 존재한다. 한편, 서비스 초기 Setup을 위한 Latency와 서비스가 지속 중인 경우의 Latency를 구분하여 세부 서비스 요구사항에 대하여 연구하는것도 필요한데, 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 서비스 초기 Setup과 관련하여 다음과 같은 세가지 요인에 대하여 검토를 진행하였다. 첫째로 (1) Data호 Setup시에 발생 가능한 Latency, 둘째 전력 효율화를 위한 (2) CRDX On/Off에 따른 영향, 마지막으로 (3) H/O가 발생되는 경우에 Latency에 대하여 Latency에 미치는 영향을 실험과 분석을 제시했다. 이를 통해 우리는 Low Latency가 필요한 서비스의 초기 Setup시에 Latency와 관련된 서비스 요구사항 및 기획에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

선상의 액정 dimer 동족체인 ${\alpha},{\omega}$-(4-사이아노아조벤젠-4'-옥시)알케인(CATWETn, n = 2~10, 유연격자 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정 거동을 검토하였다. n이 3, 6인 dimer들은 단방성 네마틱 상을 형성하는 반면 다른 유도체들은 양방성 네마틱 상을 형성하였다. Dimer들의 네마틱액체 전이온도와 상 전이시의 엔트로피 변화는 n의 함수로서 커다란 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 상 전이 거동은 유연격자의 홀수-짝수의 변화에 의한 유연격자의 평균적인 형태변화의 견지에서 합리적으로 설명된다. CATWETn이 나타내는 네마틱 상의 열적 안정성과 질서도 그리고 홀수-짝수 효과는 메톡시, 니트로 그리고 펜틸기로 치환된 dimer에 대해 보고된 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내는 반면 monomesogenic 화합물인 1-{4-(4'-사이아노페닐아조)펜옥시}알킬브롬 그리고 곁사슬형 액정 고분자인 폴리[1-{4-(4'-사이아노페닐아조)펜옥시알킬옥시}에틸렌]에 대해 보고된 결과와 현저히 달랐다. 이들의 결과를 Imirie에 의한 'virtural trimer model'의 견지에서 검토하였다.

본 연구는 투자 포트폴리오를 구성함에 있어 금융자산 뿐만 아니라 비금융자산 중 최근 대중 투자자들로부터 관심을 가지고 급부상하고 있는 음악저작권 조각 투자를 포함시켰을 때 얻을 수 있는 포트폴리오 분산 효과를 검증하였다. 국내 음악저작권 자산의 투자와 관련한 지수가 발표된 2019년 1월부터 2022년 6월까지 42개월간의 기간 동안의 데이터를 활용하여 전통적 글로벌 분산 투자 포트폴리오를 구성하고, 해당 포트폴리오에 음악저작권 투자 지수를 포함시킨 비금융자산 편입 포트폴리오를 추가로 구성하여 분석하였다. 분석 과정에서 포트폴리오 자체가 발생시키는 효과보다는 비금융자산인 음악저작권 자산의 포함 여부에 따른 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 기본적으로 활용되는 포트폴리오 전략인 단순보유, 지속 재조정, 평균-분산 최적화, 리스크패러티 등 네 가지 포트폴리오 전략을 활용하였다. 분석 결과 음악저작권 자산을 포함한 포트폴리오는 네 가지 포트폴리오 전략 모두에서 위험은 감소하였지만, 수익률은 개선되는 효과를 보여주었다. 이는 위험 대비 수익을 고려하는 지표인 샤프지수가 크게 개선되는 결과를 가져오는 것으로, 음악저작권 자산을 투자 포트폴리오에 포함시키는 것은 의미 있는 포트폴리오 분산투자 효과가 존재함을 보여주었다. 본 연구를 통해 전통적 금융자산을 통한 글로벌 분산투자 포트폴리오에 음악저작권 투자를 포함함으로써 유의미한 포트폴리오 분산투자 효과가 있음을 동적 자산 배분 관점에서 처음으로 밝혔다는 점에서 본 연구의 학술적 의미를 찾을 수 있으며, 나아가 비금융자산을 포트폴리오에 편입함으로써 포트폴리오 성과를 개선할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

We studied the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 (LSB) supplemented to lactating sows on reproductive traits and farrowing duration and to piglets from day 7 of life on post-weaning performance and IgG concentration. Ninety-six Landrace × Yorkshire sows started the trial 5 days before the expected farrowing date. Sows were distributed into 2 groups according to parity number and backfat thickness: control (CON: regular lactation diet) and LSB (CON + LSB at 2 × 10⁹ colony forming units [CFU]/kg of feed). Seven days after birth, litters were randomly selected from each group and supplemented creep feed with or without LSB at 2 × 10⁹ CFU/kg. At weaning, piglets from CON sows were shifted to a commercial farm and allocated to 14 pens in groups of 25 piglets/pen according to the creep feed supplemented during lactation. Piglets followed a 3-phase feeding program: creep, pre-starter and starter, with or without LSB at 2 × 10⁹ CFU/kg LSB in creep and pre-starter, and 1 × 10⁹ CFU/kg LSB in starter. The piglets were vaccinated against classical swine fever on days 41 and 72 of life. One day before each vaccination and at the end of the trial, blood samples were collected from 15 randomly selected piglets per treatment and assessed for total IgG. Supplemented sows with non-supplemented litters displayed the lowest backfat thickness loss during lactation (p < 0.05). The LSB supplementation shortened farrowing duration (p < 0.05) and increased feed intake (p < 0.05) during the first week of lactation. The LSB-fed piglets were heavier at the end of creep (p < 0.05), pre-starter (p < 0.05), and the trial (p < 0.05); grew faster during creep (p < 0.05), starter (p < 0.05), and overall (p < 0.05); and displayed an improved feed conversion ratio during creep (p < 0.05). Total IgG content was higher at days 40 (p < 0.05) and 71 (p < 0.05) in LSB-fed piglets. We conclude that supplementing sows with Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 from late gestation until weaning shortens farrowing duration, increases feed intake, and minimizes backfat losses during lactation. When supplemented to piglet diet, post-weaning performance is improved. This improvement observed could be linked to a better immune status, as suggested by the higher IgG.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of selenium (Se) source and level on the physiological response, reproductive performance, serum Se level, and milk composition in gestating sows. Methods: A total of 54 multiparous sows (Yorkshire×Landrace) with average body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BF), and parity were assigned to one of five treatments with 10 or 11 sows per treatment using a 2×2 factorial arrangement with one additional treatment in a completely randomized design. Inorganic or organic Se (IS or OS) sources were added to the diet at 0.30 ppm and 0.50 ppm Se. A non-Se-fortified corn-soybean meal basal diet served as a negative control. Treatments were as follows: i) Control: corn-soybean based diet, ii) IS30: control+inorganic Se 0.30 ppm, iii) IS50: control+inorganic Se 0.50 ppm, iv) OS30: control+ organic Se ppm, and v) OS50: control+organic Se 0.50 ppm. Results: At day 21 of lactation, piglet weight and weight gain in the OS treatments were higher than those in the IS treatments (p<0.05). Meanwhile, adding 0.5 ppm Se also resulted in the same significant differences in piglet BW and weight gain (p<0.05). Colostrum and milk Se concentrations increased (p<0.05) with Se level for both Se sources but were greater when sows were fed organic Se (p<0.05). Except for 24 hours postpartum, the Se concentrations were higher when sows were fed organic Se (p<0.05). Sow serum Se content was greater as Se levels increased from 0.3 ppm to 0.5 ppm at day 110 of gestation, 24 hours postpartum and day 21 of lactation (p<0.05). The pig serum Se concentration increased as the dietary Se level increased (p<0.05) and was higher when the sow dietary Se source was organic (p<0.05). Organic Se 0.5 ppm also had the highest serum Se level at two measured points (p<0.05). Conclusion: Consequently, supplementation with organic Se or 0.5 ppm Se in a gestating diet could improve piglet performance, the Se status of sows and piglets and milk composition, but organic Se at 0.5 ppm is optimal.

In this study, considering the difficulties for all farms to convert farm styles to animal welfare-based housing, an experiment was performed to observe the changes in the behavior and welfare of sows when the slat floor was changed to a collective breeding ground. Twenty-eight sows used in this study were between the second and fifth parities to minimize the influence of parity. Using a flats floor cover, the flattening rates were treated as 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. Data collection was the behavior of sows visually observed using a camera (e.g., standing, lying, fighting and excessive biting behaviors, and abnormal behaviors) and the animal welfare level measured through field visits. Lying behavior was found to be higher (p < 0.01) as the flattening rate increased, and sows lying on the slatted cover also increased as the flattening rate increased (p < 0.01). Fighting behavior wasincreased when the flattening rate was increased to 20%, and chewing behavior was increased (p < 0.05) as the flattening rate increased. The animal welfare level of sows, 'good feeding', it was found that all treatment groups for body condition score and water were good at 100 (p < 0.05). 'Good housing' was the maximum value (100) in each treatment group. As the percentage of floor increased, the minimum good housing was increased from 78 in 0% flattening rate to 96 in 50% flattening rate. The maximum (100) 'good health' was achieved in the 0% and 20% flattening rates, and it was 98, 98, and 99 in the 30%, 50%, and 40% flattening rate, respectively. 'Appropriate behavior' score was significantly lower than that of other paremeters, but when the flattening ratio was 0% and 20%, the maximum and minimum values were 10. At 40% and 50%, the maximum values were 39 and 49, respectively, and the minimum values were analyzed as 19 for both 40% and 50%. These results will be used as basic data about sow welfare for farmers to successfully transition to group housing and flat floors.
