  • 해양환경 건강성 평가에서 바이오마커의 적용은 상대적으로 새로운 분야이다. 국립학술원 및 세계보건기구에 따르면 바이오마커는 노출바이오마커, 영향바이오마커 및 민감바이오마커 등 3가지로 나누어진다. 해양생태계에 대한 환경오염물질의 노출 및 영향을 평가하기 위하여 다음과 같은 바이오마커들이 시험되고 있다: 해독, 산화스트레스, 분해산물, 스트레스 반응, 세포사멸, 물질대사, 신경반응, 생식, 스테로이드 호르몬, 항산화물질, 유전적 변형. 1990년대 초부터 여러 바이오마커 연구그룹들은 해양생물의 건강지수를 개발하여 해양환경의 상태를 평가하기 위한 수단으로 활용해 왔다. 바이오마커 지수는 생물학적 효과에 대한 모니터링활동으로부터 얻어진 자료의 해석에 사용될 수 있다. 본 총설에서는 이제까지 보고된 바이오마커 지수 관련 연구 중 대표적인 건강평가지수(Health assessment Index), 바이오마커 지수(Biomarker Index), 생물영향평가지수(Bioeffect Assessment Index) 및 일반화된 선형모델(Generalized Linear Model) 등의 연구를 요약하였다. 오염된 지역에 서식하는 해양생물의 바이오마커 반응 측정 및 바이오마커 지수 개발은 다양한 측면의 해양생태계 위해성 평가를 위해 고안된 환경모니터링 프로그램에 공헌할 수 있는 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

  • 하천생태계의 주요 1차 생산자인 부착돌말류는 대부분 세포 크기가 매우 작아 관찰과 피각 계수에 고배율의 현미경적 방법을 요구하며, 그로 인해 정성적, 정량적 분석에 있어 정확도와 정밀도를 확보하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 부착돌말류를 이용한 수생태계 조사·평가에 있어 정도관리를 향상시키기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 정도관리의 목적에 부합하기 위해, 정성 및 정량분석이 동시에 가능한 영구표본 슬라이드의 분석도구를 신규로 개발하였다. 영구표본을 제작함에 있어 커버 글라스와 슬라이드 글라스에 격자 유무의 조합으로 표본을 만들어 상호 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 다른 시험 조건에 비해 유색선형 격자 슬라이드를 사용하는 방법이 가장 효과적이었다. 향후, 더 개선된 방법의 개발이 기대되지만, 본 연구에서 개발된 방법은 그 효율성과 적용성에 있어 기존 부착돌말류의 실내분석 정도관리를 개선하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The chemical water quality and fish assemblage of Dong Stream to assessment of environmental improvement after discharge seawater were investigated from July to December 2013. BOD and DO were significantly different between before and after discharge seawater, while pH and SS did not significant. A total of 11 fish species, 218 individuals and 10,525.1g were collected. Dominant fish species were Mugil cephalus, Konosirus punctatus, Acanthogobius flavimanus and Leiognathus nuchalis which account for 77.5% of total individuals collected, and they were estuarian species. Peak number of species and individuals, and biomass occurred in September, whereas diversity index were highest in November. The water ecosystem of Dong Stream have been changed estuarian environment. As a result of stream assessment on water quality and ecosystem, water quality have been improved as 'III' grade. These results suggested that stream restoration policies such as drain pipes maintenance, management of pollution sources and riverbed dredging to improve environment and recover habitate of Dong Stream were need for set up and establishment of regular monitoring system.

  • Growth of cities and an increase in population result in the development-oriented policy, urban streams to lose their natural characteristics and functions by channelization, parking lot construction, and so forth. The streams fall into urban drains, which is the current status of urban streams. Recently, the interest in the stream environment and the ecosystem has been increased, and the efforts have been made to improve the traditional maintenance program for small streams. These efforts lead to the application of the natural recovery systems. This study applied the 240-meter model reach along the Oncheon stream, which locates in Dongrae-gu, Busan city. to analyze the natural recovery system. The efficiency of each system has been analyzed and the future improvements for the systems are presented. The results show that the stream maintenance program should consider the ecological environment. thereby minimizing the environmental effects. When the changes are inevitable, the maintenance program should adopt the methods. which closely simulate the original environmental elements. or are more favorable to the ecosystem.

  • We compared spatial and temporal variations of water chemistry between high-flow year ($HF_y$) and low-flow year ($LF_y$) in an artificial lentic ecosystem of Daechung Reservoir. The differences in the rainfall distributions explained the variation of the annual inflow and determined flow characteristics and water residence time and modified chemical and biological conditions, based on TP, suspended solids, and chlorophylla, resulting in changes of ecological functions. The intense rainfall and inflow from the watershed resulted in partial disruption of thermal structure in the metalimnion depth, ionic dilution, high TP, and high suspended solids. This condition produced a reduced chlorophyll-a in the headwaters due to low light availability and rapid flushing. In contrast, reduced inflow and low rainfall by drought resulted in strong thermal difference between the epilimnion and hypolimnion, low inorganic solids, high total dissolved solids, and low phosphorus in the ambient water. The riverine conditions dominated the hydrology in the monsoon of $HF_y$ and lacustrine conditions dominated in the $HF_y$. Overall data suggest that effective managements of the flow from the watershed may have an important role in the eutrophication processes.

  • Semi-quantitative monitoring of Lactobacillus sake and Lactobacillus plantarum, major and minor microorganisms in kimchi, respectively, and Lactobacillus paraplantarum, recently shown to be present in kimchi, was carried out by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Changes in the 3 species during kimchi fermentation were monitored by the threshold cycle ($C_T$) of real-time PCR. As fermentation proceeded at $15^{\circ}C$, the number of L. sake increased dramatically compared to those of L. plantarum and L. paraplantarum. During fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$, the growth rates of the 3 species decreased, but the proportions of L. plantarum and L. paraplantarum in the microbial ecosystem were almost constant. Considering the $C_T$ values of the first samples and the change in the $C_T$ value, the number of L. sake is no doubt greater than those of L. plantarum and L. paraplantarum in the kimchi ecosystem. L. sake seems to be one of the major microorganisms involved in kimchi fermentation, but there is insufficient evidence to suggest that L. plantarum is the primary acidifying bacterium.

  • 전국 수역의 녹조 및 해파리 발생, 유류오염 등에 의한 해양 생태계 파괴에 따른 심각한 문제에 따라 해양의 상태를 공중과 해양에서 관측할 수 있는 방법으로 헬기나 선박을 통원하는 조사 방법은 고유가 시대의 유류비 및 인건비 등의 예산문제로 년 중 사용회수는 극히 제한되어 있으며 일기가 좋지 않을 때에는 아예 출동조차 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이를 극복하기 위해 해양에서 발생하는 제반사항을 악천후에도 무인으로 고 품질의 해양 환경 측정 및 모니터링 조사를 자동으로 할 수 있는 무인 자동 모니터링 시스템이 유지비가 거의 들지 않고 인건비 유류비를 절약할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 각 센서들의 네트워크화, 측위기반 센싱 기법을 적용할 경우 조수가 있는 해양에서 센서의 위치 변동과 현재 위치를 파악할 수 있어 조사내용의 양과 질을 높일 수 있는 장점을 갖는다.

  • This study was conducted in two breeding seasons in 2017 to identify nesting habits and breeding biology of barn swallows in Daejang-dong village, Bucheon city, suburban Seoul. Among the 77 barn swallow nests studied, there were 34 breeding nests -27 in the first and 12 in the second. The reuse rate of old nests was 51.6%. In addition to tile-roofed houses (20.6%), breeding nests were most common in brick houses (38.2%) and in slate-roofed houses (26.5%). Most breeding nests were in eaves (58.8%) and front doors (32.3%). The average clutch size was $4.8{\pm}0.9$ in the first and $4.3{\pm}0.5$ in the second. The breeding success rate was 75.0% in the first and 58.1% in the second, considering the hatching rate and the fledgling rate. It was found that the rainy season was affected by a lack of food. At least 27 pairs of nestling barn swallows and 127 young barn swallows successfully fledged were estimated to be 181. These results show that Daejang-dong village is an important suburban habitat of the Seoul metropolitan area, and that it can be used to verify the environmental conservation value of rice fields of in the Seoul metropolitan area.

  • The overall purposes of this study are to identify actions taken to counter predatory publishing practices as well as to propose an ICT-based model to detect such practices. The need to raise quantitative performance metrics to support career goals has created immense pressure on researchers to publish in the literature as frequently as possible. This "publish or perish" syndrome appears to be fueling a rise in scholarly journals and conferences that provide quicker and easier routes to publication. However, such avenues sometimes involve questionable academic practices with important ethical ramifications. One notable example is the proliferation of predatory publishing, including predatory journals and fake conferences. The widening impact of such activities is beginning to prompt academic societies, publishers, and institutions to take measures. This paper discusses the issues on predatory publishing practices, and some of the actions taken by various stakeholders to address these practices. In order to build a transparent and sustainable scholarly publishing ecosystem, this study highlights multi-dimensional and specific solutions, including reforms to research ethics codes, research management rules, and legal protection from exploitative practices. This paper proposes an ICT-based cooperative model for monitoring of predatory publishers as a potential solution to create a sustainable and transparent infrastructure for a scholarly publication system guarding against misconduct in publishing practices.
