Efficiencies of hand sorting, vermifuge application and combined methods of them for sampling earthworms in the field were compared. 1) hand sorting : sampling unit of soil (50 cm${\times}$50 cm${\times}$30 cm, width${\times}$length${\times}$depth) was dug out and earthworms were sorted by hands. 2) Vermifuge application : Solution of mustard, pepper or formalin was treated onto the soil surface of smpling unit (50 cm${\times}$50 cm, width${\times}$length). 3) Combined method : In a sampling unit of soil (50 cm${\times}$50 cm${\times}$30 cm, width${\times}$length), hand sorting was carried out into the depth of 10 cm or 15 cm and then vermifuge was treated. Earthworms were collected more in numbers by hand sorting than vermifuge application although it was much more time-consuming and labor intensive. Efficiency of mustard to extract earthworms was as same as formalin but much better than that of pepper. Combined method of hand sorting with mustard treatment was more efficient than vermifuge applications and other combined methods. And it could collect earthworms as many as hand sorting, but was much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than hand sorting. Thus combined method of hand sorting (to the depth of 15 cm) with mustard treatment could be recommended for the sampling of earthworms in the field.

We investigated the repellency of eight mosquito repellents against Culex pipiens pallens and Aedes albopictus, and the quantity of DEETs were analysed by using gas chromatography. Ae. albopictus showed higher bloodsucking efficacy than Cx. pipiens pallens of the two subjects mouse and human hands, and human hand was more efficacious method for mosquito bloodsucking efficacy than mouse. Among the eight repellents were tested with mouse as subjects for eight hours, product C, G, and H were high repellency than others. In the case of human hands as subject, product C was highly effective than above other products. The DEET quantities of eight repellants varied from 7.31 g to 38.9 g in 100 g contents and we ascertained that there was a correlation between mosquito repellency and the DEET quantities remained after the treatments. It was evidenced from the long term test with shirt piece, in this test the Ae. albopictus attack was increased when the DEET quantity decreased below 40%.

This study was performed to evaluate the rodent repellency and antimicrobial activity of natural oils. Thirteen natural essential oils were evaluated for repellent efficacy against rodent feed intake suppression activity. Salvia sclarea (sage), Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass), and Syzygium aromaticum (clove) showed the best repellent efficacy among tested natural oils. Antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative (four strains) and Gram-positive (four strains) bacteria were evaluated using four natural oils, which showed high efficacy on the rodent repellent test. Syzygium aromaticum showed antimicrobial activity against all tested bacteria and Cymbopogon citratus, Cinnamonum zeylanicum, and Salvia sclarea showed antimicrobial activity against some tested bacteria.

The objective of this study is to compare the effects of raw materials as method of speeding up mounting of matured silkworm, for reducing concentrated labor during mounting periods. The results obtained from this study are summarized as fellows： (1) Quercus acutissima Carrs showed the most remarkable effect of repellent. Persicaria blumei Gross and Artemisia asiatica Nakai were followed in order. The rest repellents were also expected to be applicable. considering known material (silk-up) with lower mounting percentage. (2) The effective methods of preparation of repellent were to make distillate. Decocted solution type was considered to be the easiest way of preparation. (3) It seemed to be that there was little effect of repellent on the qualities of cocoon and silk. (4) When a repellent was applied to a silkworm bed, immatured silkworms were observed to mount. Thus it suggests that the repellent will give remarkable effects only when the degree of matured of silkworms is uniform.

To enhance the control efficacy against cockroaches in dwelling space, repellent ("Push") was set down on one comer and a poison bait including attractant ("Pull") was on the opposite side. And we tested the control efficacy of Push-Pull strategy by behavior-stimuli of cockroaches. In a mini-field test, German cockroach males primarily chose shelters nearest to the attractant-treated surfaces and farthest from the repellent-treated surfaces. The consumption of food or bait was also highest from food nearest to the preferred shelters by push-pull effect. We evaluated the push-pull insecticidal efficacies of five essential oils belong to Citrus plant, namely, grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, and petitgrain. The combined push-pull treatments appeared to be faster and higher insecticidal effects than single (pull) treatment, and the repellent efficacy of Citrus oils was in the order of grapefruit > lemon > lime > orange > petitgrain. Therefore, we propose the effective control of the german cockroach using Citrus oils as repellents and push-pull method into a limited area.

The number of households with pets has increased in recent years. Consequently, interest in mites and their odors has increased. In this study, we investigated whether pyrethrum extract and water-soluble phytoncides are effective tick repellents, deodorizing agents, and antibacterial agents. In the tick-climbing test, the pyrethrum extract (23.33 points) and water-soluble phytoncide (22.00 points) showed a high repelling effect. To confirm the tick avoidance effect of the composite extract, a tick climbing test was conducted with a pest control extract, a composite extract (referred to as a sample) containing a water-soluble phytoncide, and a third-party product (control). The sample showed a high avoidance effect (13.00 points and Control 26.67 points. An indoor repellent efficacy test for ticks confirmed that the sample showed an excellent tick-repellent effect (88%) compared to the control (12%). As a result of a deodorization test, ammonia was shown to have a deodorizing effect of 98.3% and trimethylamine of 99.5%, whereas, in the antibacterial test, the E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and pneumonia groups showed an antibacterial effect of 99.9%. Combining the results of this study, it is judged that the complex extract including the above material has high utility value as a material that is effective in mite repellents, deodorization, and antibacterial activity.

Methanol extracts of 54 plant species in 32 families were tested for their antignawing activities against mice by wire-dipping method. The activity varied with plant species. Potent antignawing activity was observed in extracts from roots of Aucklandia lappa (Compositae), barks of Cinnamomum cassia (Lauraceae), fruits of Illicium verum (Magnoliaeceae), fruits of Piper nigrum (Piperaceae), rhizomes of Rheum officinale (Polygonaceae), and leaves of Pinus densiflora (Pinaceae). As naturally occurring rodent repellents, these plant-derived materials could be useful as a preventive agent against various kinds of damage caused by rodents.

This research aims to categorize factors affecting reluctance of second childbirth among working mothers using Q methodology. P sample holds 50 working mothers between 20 and 45 years old living in Daegu-Gyeongbuk area. After securing the total 72 statements, the final 24 Q samples were confirmed through the second classification. As a result of this study, three types of the working mothers were classified. The first type that 22 working mothers (44%) were classified was "having uncooperative spouse". The second type which 13 working mothers (26%) were included was "working at not family-friendly workplace". Lastly, eight working mothers (16%) belonged to the third type, "having financial difficulty". Therefore, this study could confirm that the working mothers evade their second childbirth mostly because of the insufficient childcare support both at home and at work, rather than economic reasons. Thus, this study suggests that the Korean government should try to spread work-family balance culture than just providing financial support in order to encourage the second childbirth among working mothers.
