A 4-year joint research project(1999-2003), entitled "The Development of Multiple Talents(DMT)", has been designed and carrying out under the sponsorship of the National Science Council, R.O.C. (Taiwan). A 3-dimension construct is proposed for the DMT: form of talents (10 forms, mainly based on Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences), function of talents (3 functions, based on Sternberg's conception of successfulintelligence), and developmental stage (4 stages, from pre-school to senior high). To take an example of its empirical studies, Wu and Chien (2000), based on a renovated conception of personal intelligence, developed the "Personal Intelligence Inventory" (PII). By means of the PII, it was found that there were some personal intelligence differences between gifted and regular pupils; however, gifted group was not as superior as on academic performance to the regular one (Wu & Chien, 2000). It was also found that there were significant relationships between pupils' personal intelligence and school adjustment in both groups (Tsai & Wu, 2000).

The clinical application of polydioxanone (PDO) threads, traditionally utilized for tissue lifting, is now being explored for its volumizing effects in midface rejuvenation. The novel approach involves employing PDO volumizing threads to achieve physical augmentation akin to a "solid filler." The study introduces a more convenient insertion method for these threads, prioritizing ease and efficacy. Clinical cases demonstrate the efficacy of volumizing threads in addressing midface concerns, such as nasolabial folds and midcheek grooves. Additionally, the integration of volumizing threads to provide support in sagging areas is examined for achieving natural-looking enhancements. While highlighting positive outcomes, potential side effects like thread protrusion are addressed, along with strategies for their mitigation. Volumizing threads are presented as a suitable procedure for patients wary of traditional fillers or seeking subtle enhancements, with the recommendation of combining them with cog threads for those desiring more pronounced changes in facial contour. In summary, volumizing thread offers a minimally invasive alternative with fewer side effects for midface rejuvenation.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmissible and potentially fatal virus. So far, most comprehensive analyses encompassing clinical and transcriptional manifestation have concentrated on the lungs. Here, we confirmed evident signs of viral infection in the lungs and spleen of SARS-CoV-2-infected K18-hACE2 mice, which replicate the phenotype and infection symptoms in hospitalized humans. Seven days post viral detection in organs, infected mice showed decreased vital signs, leading to death. Bronchopneumonia due to infiltration of leukocytes in the lungs and reduction in the spleen lymphocyte region were observed. Transcriptome profiling implicated the meticulous regulation of distress and recovery from cytokine-mediated immunity by distinct immune cell types in a time-dependent manner. In lungs, the chemokine-driven response to viral invasion was highly elevated at 2 days post infection (dpi). In late infection, diseased lungs, post the innate immune process, showed recovery signs. The spleen established an even more immediate line of defense than the lungs, and the cytokine expression profile dropped at 7 dpi. At 5 dpi, spleen samples diverged into two distinct groups with different transcriptome profile and pathophysiology. Inhibition of consecutive host cell viral entry and massive immunoglobulin production and proteolysis inhibition seemed that one group endeavored to survive, while the other group struggled with developmental regeneration against consistent viral intrusion through the replication cycle. Our results may contribute to improved understanding of the longitudinal response to viral infection and development of potential therapeutics for hospitalized patients affected by SARS-CoV-2.

새만금 간척사업의 역사와 갈등을 소개하고 행정소송과정을 서술하였다. 세계 최대의 간척공사인 새만금 간척사업은 한국에서 가장 갈등이 심한 환경이슈로 여겨진다. 1996년에 발생한 시화호 오염사건을 계기로 새만금 사업의 인공 담수호수 수질문제가 사회적인 관심사와 이해당사자의 갈등을 불러일으켰다. 이를 해결하기 위해 사법재판부가 개입한 것이 시화호와 다른 새만금 사업의 특징이다. 1, 2차 재판부가 동일한 사실에 대해서 경제적 타당성, 생태계 가치, 토지이용, 수질에 대한 상이한 판결을 내린 것은 복잡한 환경문제를 다루는데 있어 법률적 제도의 한계점을 보여준다. 대법원의 최종판결 직후 지역주민과 국회의원의 강력한 지지에 힘입어 새만금 사업촉진을 위한 특별법이 제정되었다. 2009년에는 이 법에 근거한 새로운 토지이용 계획이 수립되었다. 새만금 사업은 시화호와는 전혀 다른 진행과정을 보여주고 있다. 새만금 지역은 개발과 보존이 조화를 이루며 지역주민과 미래세대의 번영을 위한 지속가능한 방법으로 관리되어야 한다.

Objectives : In an effort to suggest a developmental plan of Traditional Korean Medicine health promotion project(TKM-HPP), this study was conducted to identify the problems experienced by public health Traditional Korean Medicine(PH-TKM) doctors in duty and to analyze successful cases of the health promotion project. Methods : Two PH-TKM doctors in duty at the Public Health Centre branch and Public Health Centre respectively, and one TKM doctor in charge of Public Health Centre participated in the in-depth interview. The research procedure was as follows; 1) inform study objectives and interview questions to participants, 2) in-depth interview with semi-structured questions, and 3) post-confirmation and verification. The interview was recorded and transcripted. In-depth interview was composed of 6 subsections: 1) Introducing participants and share purpose of interview, 2) Confirmation of the job status and difficulty of public health centre, 3) Reflecting and sharing experiences of public health clinic job performance cases, 4) Current status and improvement needs of TKM-HPP, 5) Discussions on improvement of TKM-HPP in public health center, 6) Sharing and reconfirmation of interview results. Thematic analysis was conducted from the narratives. Results : The study showed that; 1) the support from the local government was critical for the successful TKM-HPP and participation of the PH-TKMs; 2) the major problems experienced by PH-TKMs were lack of training for TKM-HPP in the field and lack of knowledge at local government level; 3) the suggestions to provide PH-TKMs with manual to educate residents effectively and redefine roles of PH-TKMs in the project. It also suggests that TKM-HPP model should be developed by the district in a way of reflecting regional characteristics. Conclusions : Firstly, more efforts should be made on the projects rather than medical treatment in public health centers, except for areas where medical institutions are scarce. Secondly, in order to facilitate participation of PH-TKM doctors, each local office should reduce medical care and increase efforts related with projects. Thirdly, the institution has to develop feasible TKM-HPP plans that can be carried out by PH-TKMs by the manual. Lastly, pre-training should be provided to PH-TKMs to understand contents of TKM-HPP related to public health centre work before the placement.

The model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana is the subject of an international genome research project. Massive doses of ionizing radiation have been shown to induce physiological changes in plants. The wild-type (Ler) Arabidopsis plants were irradiated with 100 Gy and 800 Gy of gamma-ray. Gibberellin (GA) affects developmental processes and responses according to the various environment conditions in diverse plant. The 13 GA isomers were analyzed at vegetative (VE) and reproductive (RE) stages by HPLC. Total GA contents were reduced with the increase in radiation doses at VE and RE stages. Specifically, levels of GA3, GA4, GA12, and GA34 were significantly reduced with the increase of radiation doses. Oligonucleotide microarrays analysis was performed with Arabidopsis plants at different developmental stages and doses of gamma-ray. Through the microarray data, we isolated 41 genes related to GA biosynthesis and signaling transduction. Expression of these genes was also decreased as the reduction of GA contents. Interestingly, in GA signaling related gene expression, gibberellin-responsive protein, putative (At2g18420) was down-regulated at VE and RE stages. Myb21 (At3g27810), Myb24 (At5g40350), and Myb57 (At3g01530) was down-regulated at RE stage. In GA biosynthesis related gene expression, YAP169 (At5g07200) and GA20ox2 (At5g51810) were down-regulated at 100 Gy treatment of VE stage and 800 Gy treatment of RE stage in cytoplasm, respectively. However, exceptively, GA3ox2 (At1g80340) was up-regulated at 100 Gy treatment of RE stage in cytoplasm. In this study, the wild type (Ler) Arabidopsis plants showed differences in response with development stage at the various doses of gamma-rays. GA contents change was reported in gamma irradiated plant.

이 글은 환경논쟁에서 과학기술이 종종 중요한 구실을 하고 있지만 쟁점을 과학적 합리성의 문제로 틀 지움으로써 환경문제가 지닌 사회적, 문화적, 정치적 함의를 놓치게 할 수 있음을 새만금 간척사업을 사례로 논의하였다. 정부가 새만금 사업 재개를 결정하는데 분수령이 된 새만금 환경영향 민관공동조사단의 구성은 환경단체가 정부와 동등한 위치에서 사업을 재검토할 수 있는 기회를 제공했으나 이에 못지 않게 환경논쟁을 좁은 과학논쟁으로 한정시키는 데 기여했다. 논쟁의 양쪽 당사자가 전략적으로 비중을 둔 새만금 담수호의 장래 수질오염 논쟁은 불확실하고 가치와 관련된 갯벌보전 논란을 구체적이고 객관적으로 검증이 가능한 수질문제로 환원시켰다. 나아가 이런 논쟁의 성격변화는 수질관련 데이터와 정책을 생산하는 정부에게 유리한 조건을 제공했다. 민관공동조사단 활동 이후의 정부부처 협의과정은 수질 예측 모델링을 통해 미래의 수질을 더욱 정확하게 예측하려는 환경예측과학의 사회적 구성과정이기도 했지만, 기본적으로 정부의 정치적인 논리가 과학적인 예측을 좌우한 것으로 보인다. 결국 민관공동조사단 방식의 환경갈등 해결책은 환경운동단체의 의도와는 달리 논쟁의 폭을 좁히고 지역주민보다는 과학기술 전문가를 논쟁의 주요 당사자로 만듦으로써 운동의 제도화를 초래했다. 정부가 새만금 사업의 재개를 결정한 뒤 환경운동 내부에 성찰성과 현장성, 헌신성을 강조하는 삼보일배 등 생명평화운동이 대두한 배경에는 이처럼 환경단체가 과학적 합리성을 무비판적으로 받아들였기 때문으로 추정된다.

최근 해양에서 이루어지고 있는 해역이용 개발 현황 분석을 통해 입지의 적정성과 환경영향 측면에서 상충될 수 있는 대표적인 개발사례를 진단하여 해양공간계획수립의 필요성에 대한 시사점을 제공하였다. 해양 신재생에너지개발(조력 및 해상풍력), 바다골재채취, 공유수면매립, 연안골프장 조성, 온배수 및 고염수 배출, 침식영향 개발사업 등의 주요 사례 분석결과, 해당 공간이용 및 관리방향 간의 상충성이 빈발하고, 누적환경영향에 따른 해양환경과 생태계 훼손, 어장이용과 이행당사자사이의 갈등이 지속적으로 나타나고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 이유는 개발 입지 및 주변 공간영역에 대한 충분한 현황 파악이 부족하고, 공간이용과 관련된 개별법의 상호성 및 연계성 평가가 미흡한 것과 관련되어 있다. 사전예방적인 해양환경관리 정책을 강화하기 위해서는 입지 적정성과 개발규모에 대한 평가 검토를 강화해야 할 것이다. 특히, 전략환경영향평가 등 상위계획 심의단계에서 입지와 규모의 적정성에 대한 평가 시, 해양공간이용 현황, 상위계획과 지역계획간의 연계성(특히, 연안관리지역계획과 통합계획), 해양수산규제지역과 보호대상 해양생물 분포 등 핵심 평가사항을 제시하도록 하여 보다 철저한 진단이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 지속가능한 보전과 개발의 조화를 위해서는 TOP-DOWN 방식의 해양공간계획 전략(연안과 EEZ, 광역과 협역 해역 등 전체적 Zoning과 Sector 연계성을 강화, 3차원 정보 포함 등)을 마련해야 하고, 이 과정에서 체계적이고 최신의 해양공간정보 속성자료 파악 및 공유를 위한 통합 정보시스템 구축이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 해양수산과 관련된 전 부문, 즉, 항만 어항, 수산, 연안관리, 해양환경과 생태계 분야에서 해양공간이용의 상호적이고 일관성있는 전략이 필요할 것이다.

Introduction: Andhra Pradesh (AP) is one of the largest tobacco producing states in India. About 29% of adults in AP currently use tobacco in some form. Almost 24% of males and 4% of females are smokers. The prevalence of tobacco use in the state is higher than the national average of 15% for male and 2% for female smokers. However, few attempts have been made to understand the current situation of tobacco control resources, activities and strategies in the context of such a high tobacco prevalence state. The present study aimed to identify the gaps in existing tobacco control program and areas where tobacco control efforts can be integrated. Methods: Data were collected using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a total of 95 key officials of state health departments, program managers, and project directors in six districts to understand ongoing tobacco control efforts. To facilitate the interviews, semi-structured guides were developed. Simple descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the quantitative data using SPSS version 17. Results: The results of the situational analysis suggest that a sufficient health workforce and infrastructure with the potential to integrate tobacco control activities is available in the surveyed districts. However, lack of integration of the tobacco control program intothe tuberculosis control program and the National Rural Health Mission was observed. Information, education and communication activities were lacking at block level health facilities. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that lack of trained health professionals, paucity of dedicated funds, lack of information, education and communication materials and low priority given to tobacco control activities are some of the factors which impede integration of tobacco control into existing health and developmental programmes in the districts of Andhra Pradesh, India.
