This study aims to analyze the difference in production elasticity based on the types of agricultural labor input regarding its qualitative difference in Jeju mandarin production. To estimate the production function of qualityadjusted labor, we have set up a Quality-Adjusted Index based on the market wage of the agricultural field. We have conducted a multiple regression analysis of the newly estimated labor inputs using the Ordinary Least Squares regression. Results show that the production efficiency of aggregate total labor hours (quality-unadjusted labor input) is overestimated compared to quality-adjusted labor with qualitative labor homogeneity. Moreover, by analyzing household labor and employment labor, we have observed that the marginal productivity of household labor exceeds that of employment labor. In conclusion, this study verifies that securing labor input homogeneity is crucial for analyzing agricultural labor hours' economic efficiency accurately.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effects of antenatal depression on birth outcomes. Methods: The participants were 255 pregnant women who were followed in a prospective study. Of these, 197 cases were examined included birth weight, Apgar scores at 5 minute, premature contraction, complication of labor, delivery types and laboratory data. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi square test of linear by linear association, Kruskal Wallis test, Relative Risk, univariate and adjusted multiple logistic regression were used for data analysis with SPSS/Win. Results: Level of antenatal depression was associated with low birth weight ($x^2$=7.69, p=.010). High risk pregnancy was a predictor of low birth weight (OR=6.98 [1.21-40.30]) and baby's weight (OR=2.12, [1.05-4.28]). Prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) was a predictor of complications in labor (OR=3.59, [1.03-12.48]). But there were no significant effects of antenatal depression on other birth outcomes. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that women with antenatal depression, high risk pregnancy, prepregnancy $BMI{\geq}23kg/M^2$ should be monitored and managed to ensure favorable birth outcomes.

Opening agricultural market progresses radically, reducing cost of high quality agricultural products becomes urgent. Aerial application using an agricultural helicopter helps precise and timely spraying and reduces labor intensity and pollution. The development of an agricultural helicopter was necessary for taking advantages of both technique and economy. In this study, as the first stage of developing an unmanned helicopter capable of 20kg payload, an engine was selected and a prototype transmission was designed for an agricultural helicopter. Prony type dynamo-meter was constructed, the engine was tested and then performance curve was obtained. The centrifugal clutch was engaged at the rotation speed of 3,500-4,000 rpm. Maximum power was expected at the engine speed of 5,900-6,200 rpm when adjusted at the optimal output. Based on the test results, the transmission was designed for driving main rotor shaft.

노후 인프라로 인한 각종 안전사고 발생과 수질관리 등으로 인하여 상·하수도 관에 대한 공사가 전국적으로 활발하게 진행 되고 있다. 하지만 현장에서는 공사비적용에 있어, 공사비기준의 개정내용을 분석하는 연구나 자료가 없어 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 관 부설 및 접합공사의 공사비산정을 위한 기준현황과 현장조사내용, 개정사항을 분석하였다. 주요 개정요인으로는 시공범위의 불분명, 시설물유형에 따른 배관 재질 적용한계, 보통인부 중심의 인력구성, 인력부설의 한계, 공구손료 및 기계경비 계상기준 미비로 분석되었다. 실제 현장조사를 통해 관종별 특징을 정하여 구분하였고, 양중장비와 경장비의 투입현황 등을 파악하였다. 또한, 관부설과 병행되는 터파기 및 검측에 대한 작업내용, 기능공 투입실태를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 공통사항의 신설을 통한 작업범위의 명확화, 관 재질별 편제구성, 기능공 중심의 인력비율 조정, 기계경비의 계상근거를 마련하였다. 더불어 관의 유지관리를 위한 관 세척 기준을 제정하였으며, 주기개정을 통한 곡관, 이형관의 계상기준을 명확히 하였다. 이러한 개정결과로 인한 공사비영향성을 분석한 결과 사업별로 약 1.28%의 공사비 절감효과가 나타났다.

There was a transition from participatory irrigation management (PIM) to public irrigation management (PubIM) in Korea when Korea Rural corporation and Community (KRC) merged with Farm Land Improvement Associations (FLIAs), which had managed 60 % of irrigation areas. While making a number of achievements, some problems occurred in the public irrigation management, such as lack of farmers' participation, increased amount of water usage, and elevating operating costs. Accordingly, this paper suggested ways to increase efficiency in water usage and reduce operating costs under the public management through the motive power of farmers participation. First, WUGs replaced the discarded water management committee should be reorganized to revive the concept of PIM in the form of autonomously reinforced one and the roles and functions of WUGs and the board of representatives should be strengthened. The member of new type of WUGs should participate in the national and regional water management committees as a stakeholder of irrigation water user. And also new type of WUGs initiates not only the management of irrigation water but also the management of irrigation water quality and non-point source pollution in the watersheds. Those additional activities of WUGs should be properly compensated. Second, subsidies (direct payments) should be provided to faithful farmers as an incentive for their labor supply. Third, water fees could be charged to large scale agriculture companies. Fourth, professional managers could be hired, management targets would be adjusted, and incentives should be offered. These efforts are expected to improve the irrigation management by encouraging farmers' participation under public system.

In this study, the food cost for the urban worker's living expenses was estimated for the Korea Labor Union. The urban workers living expenses are minimum of healthy and decency level expenses with allowances for minimum quality of life. Thus, the food cost should be enough for purchasing proper kinds and amount of foods which can supply sufficient nutrient to maintain health and which should reflect current food consumption patterns. To estimate the food cost, the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowances was used to calculate the amount of nutrients which should be supplied. The National nutrition survey and the Food balance sheet, were used to estimate the current consumption patterns for the kind and amount of food. To estimate price for each food item, the market survey was executed in six large cities. Also, to verify the estimated food cost, actual food costs were surveyed. For 5 kinds of model household, dietary allowances were calculated for the each nutrient. Using the Korean food guides, the number of serving for each food group were decided for the model households. In each food group, the amount and kind of foods were decided by the current food consumption pattern. The kind and amount of food were adjusted by the amount of calculated nutrient. When the amount of nutrient was between 90% and 110% of the recommended dietary intake, it was accepted. With these amount and kinds of foods, the food cost were calculated using the market survey. Considering extra expenses for the eating-out and processed foods, extra expenses are added. As a results, for single person family, the estimated food cost was 149,210won per month. For two, three, four and five person family, the estimated food costs were 245,179won, 381,182won, 501,669won and 687,980won per month, respectively. The estimated food cost were lower in the single and two person family than the actual food cost by the survey. The cost for eating-out gave major differences. In the future, to estimate food cost, the food consumption patterns for the different kind of household, sex and age should be studied carefully. Also, the pattern of eating-out should by analyzed.

MH 39는 품종과 처리농도에 관계없이 포도 부초신장을 유의하게 억제시켜 부초의 과번무를 막을 수 있는 약제로 인정되었다. 처리시기는 거봉은 만개 30일 후, 캠벨 얼리는 만개 35일 후 처리구가 이상적이었으나 이는 공시수의 수세에 따라 달라질 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다. 처리농도는 $3,900mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 경우 부초의 정단부가 고사 또는 탈락되는 등 과도한 반응이 나타났으므로 $1,950mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$이 적정농도임이 확인되었다. 부초생장의 억제효과는 마디수의 감소와 마디길이가 단축됨으로서 나타났다. 그러나 과실 품질에는 영향을 미치지 않았고 오히려 캠벨 얼리의 경우는 anthocyanin므로 포도의 부초제거의 노력을 생력화 할 수 있는 유용한 약제가 될 것으로 판단되었다.
