The intensive habitats loss of natural organisms as a consequence of anthropogenic activities has lead to the use of alternative habitats for species conservation. We reviewed the current status of alternative habitats and suggest the improvement of alternative habitats. Most of alternative habitats regarded in this study are not following the pre-arranged consultation at environmental impact assessment. These alternative habitats are rendered useless due to the insufficient consideration of ecological characteristics of species and lack of detailed plans. A number of alternative habitats are influenced by disturbance such as environmental pollution and construction. Post-monitoring of alternative habitats are needed to estimate immigration rate of species. Post management is also needed to assess the status of population stability. Overall, low effectiveness of alternative habitats is presented in this study. According to the status survey, methods for improvement of alternative habitats are required such as detailed guidelines, establishment of post-monitoring system, improvement of habitat restoration techniques, and guidelines for management and operation of alternative habitats.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies for heavy metal stabilization in soil were mainly focused on finding out new materials and its efficiency. But, such a stabilization method can cause disturbance to soil, leading improper environment for agriculture. The object of this study was to demonstrate the effect of the incorporation of green manure crops on heavy metal-contaminated soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: Soil contaminated with heavy metals was collected from the agricultural soils affected by the abandoned mine. Lime stone was selected and treated to contaminated soil. Three kinds of legume green manure crops; Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), Red clover (Trifolium pratense) were subsequently cultivated in greenhouse condition. It was found that lime stone increased soil pH and decreased the amount of heavy metal absorption by green manure. The application of green manure residues on soil increased soil pH and inorganic nitrogen. CONCLUSION: The C/N ratio of three green manures was low, indicating fast decomposition rate, resulting in nitrogen supplement, consequently. Considering the point that the soil was used for agricultural purpose, it was recommended that hairy vetch and red clover were preferred. Nevertheless, the heavy metal availability was also increased. Thus, it seemed that further study was needed to confirm that how long maintain a phenomenon.

현재 시행되고 있는 하천의 정비는 하천 고유의 특성을 간과한 채 이용적 측면에서 진행되고 있으며 그 결과 하천의 인공화 및 생태계의 악영향이 심화되고 있다. 친환경적인 하천 복원의 개념이 국내에 도입되었고 이를 위한 기술 개발 연구가 진행 중이지만 현재 인위적인 하천교란의 요인과 하천교란에 따른 영향 등의 정량적 평가 기술의 수립은 아직 미흡한 상태이다. 이러한 정량적 평가 기술의 수립을 위해서는 하천 교란의 요인 및 그 영향을 판단하기 위한 하천의 변화 양상 분석이 우선되어야 한다. 이를 위해 항공사진 및 GIS기법을 이용하여 국내 주요 하천의 교란에 따른 하천의 평면 변화 양상을 조사하고 분석함으로써 하천교란 조사기술 개발에 응용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하는 연구가 선행된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천 교란이 발생한 댐 하류의 지역을 추가로 선정하여 선행 연구와 같은 방법으로 하천 교란 실태를 분석함으로써 GIS를 이용한 하천 교란 실태 분석 방법의 효용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 하천의 변화 양상을 확인하였으며 대상 하천의 사행도 및 저수의 구체적인 제반 수치를 제시할 수 있었다. 또한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 현재 이루어지고 있는 하천의 정비 및 복원 사업이 하천의 흐름에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 예측을 가능하게 하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 GIS기반의 하천 교란 평가 기법 정립을 위한 추가 연구가 필요하며, 이를 통하여 보다 효율적인 하도 안정문제에 관한 대책 수립 및 친환경적 하천 복원이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

멸종위기 야생생물인 두루미와 재두루미는 인간에 의한 교란에 취약한 조류이다. 본 연구는 두루미류의 월동지인 철원의 민간인통제지역 중 일부 해제지역의 서식밀도 변화를 비교하여 그 중요성을 검증하고자 하였다. 또한 공사 및 비닐하우스 건설 등 교란에 의해 두루미류 핵심서식지역 범위에 대한 영향을 평가하였다. 연구결과 민간인통제지역 내에서의 공사 및 개간은 두루미류의 핵심서식지를 위축시키고, 원거리의 핵심서식지 면적을 증대시키는 영향이 있었다. 민간인통제지역의 개방은 2011년 3월에 이루어졌는데, 그 이전 이후의 3년간을 비교할 때 비닐하우스의 건립이 급격히 증가하였다. 민간인통제지역에서 해제된 지역은 비닐하우스의 건설이 집중적으로 증가하였고 개별 비닐하우스의 규모도 증가하였으며 이에따라 두루미의 취식영역이 감소하는 영향이 있었다. 하지만 민간인통제지역에서 해제된 지역임에도 불구하고 두루미의 취식밀도는 감소하지 않았고, 재두루미의 취식밀도는 오히려 증가하였는데, 이는 인근의 잠자리지역에 먹이를 공급했기 때문으로 판단되었다. 향후 민간인통제지역이 추가적으로 해제될 경우 두루미류의 서식밀도가 더욱 낮아질 것으로 예상되었다.

In this research, the performance evaluation between an alternating type process and a recirculating type process was investigated by using mathematical models. The Advanced Phase Isolation Ditch (APID) process and the $A^2/O$ process were selected the target processes of the alternating type and recirculating type, respectively. For more quantitative evaluation, 5 performance indexes which included economy and energy efficiency as well as effluent quality were used, and various disturbance conditions of influent were given to the process models. As simulation results, the APID process which had the specific operation modes to use the organic matter in influent effectively showed higher efficiency of denitrification than the $A^2/O$ process. In the case of effluent TSS, the $A^2/O$ process that the retention time in reactors could be maintained stably was more effective than the APID process. In the cases of various disturbance condition, although it was identified that both two processes had similar effluent quality, the sludge production of the $A^2/O$ process showed lower than that of the APID process while the APID process showed higher energy efficiency.

A ship's automatic steering system is the basis for addressing control difficulties related to course-changing and course-keeping during navigation through heading angle control, and is a link in realizing unmanned and autonomous ships. This study proposes a robust RCGA-based linear active disturbance rejection controller (LADRC) design method considering environmental disturbances, measurement noise, and model uncertainties in designing a ship heading controller for use when the ship is sailing. The LADRC consisted of a transient profile, a linear extended state observer, and a PD controller. The control gains in the LADRC with the linear extended state observer were adjusted by RCGAs to minimize the integral of the time-weighted absolute error (ITAE), which is an evaluation function of the control system. The proposed method was applied to ship heading control, and its effectiveness was validated by comparing the propulsive energy loss between the proposed method and a conventional linear PD controller. The simulation results showed that the proposed method had the advantages of lower propulsive energy loss, more robustness, and higher tracking precision than the conventional linear PD controller.

This study conducted a comparative analysis of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Fosu and Benya lagoons in Ghana, based on the anthropogenic effect on the two lagoons. Salinity, oxygen, temperature, conductivity, turbidity and pH were measured, invertebrate richness and species densities were determined. The AZTI Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) and multivariate statistics were used to determine the different responses of fauna to pollution. The fauna were categorized into five ecological groups based on the degree of tolerance of the different species to pollution: disturbance-sensitive species; disturbance-indifferent species, disturbance-tolerant species, second-order opportunistic species; and first-order opportunistic species. The Fosu Lagoon supported more pollution tolerant species, whereas the Benya Lagoon had more species that were sensitive to organic enrichment under relatively unpolluted conditions. Chironomus sp., which is adapted to virtually anoxic conditions, was the most abundant in the Fosu Lagoon whereas Nemertea sp. was the most abundant in the Benya Lagoon. The numerical and relative abundance (%) of all 7 taxa in the Fosu Lagoon was 1,359 and 92.35%, respectively. The numerical and relative abundance (%) of all 34 taxa in the Benya Lagoon was 2,459 and 87.52%, respectively. Expectedly, the level of dissolved oxygen in the less saline Fosu Lagoon was higher than that in the more saline Benya Lagoon. The reduced photoperiod and photosynthetic activities of aquatic plants might account for this trend. There is a need to implement comprehensive monitoring and management initiatives for sustaining the ecological health of coastal lagoons in Ghana in order to support the many people that depend upon these ecosystems for their livelihood.

The area of this study is located in the Sang dong district, Youngwol Gun, Kangwon Do, where the Ogcheon fold belt comes into contact with the Ryongnam massif. The area is covered by the Precambrian metasedimentary rocks of Yulri Group in the south from the line of Ungyosan-Maebongsan-Jansan-Taebaegsan Mountains and by the Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks of Choseon Supergroup in the north. The Choseon Supergroup unconformably overlies the Yulri group. Several granitic intrusives occur in the Precambrian and Cambro-Ordovician terrain. The purpose of this study is to clarify the geochronology, mineralogical composition, geochemical characteristics, petrogenesis and tectonic settings of the Precambrian granitic rocks, and to evaluate the P.T. conditions of granitic intrusions. The K/Ar ages obtained from the muscovite of Nonggeori Granite, Naedeogri granite and pegmatite intruded into the Yulri Group are Early Proterozoic ($1805{\pm}18Ma$ to $1642{\pm}23Ma$), and those from the migmatitic pegmatite are Late Carboniferous ($305{\pm}4Ma$), respectively. The Precambrian granitic rocks are characterized by the presence of muscovite, tourmaline and grey feldspar with faint lineation of mafic minerals. In terms of mineralogical and chemical composition, the granitic rocks are felsic, calc-alkalic, peraluminous and S-type (ilmenite-series). The geochemical characteristics of major and trace elements indicate that the granitic rocks belong to syn-collision setting at the compressional plate margin. They were formed by progressive melting of relatively homogeneous crustal materials under 1~3kb and $670^{\circ}{\sim}720^{\circ}C$ in aqueous fluid conditions, and the Naedeogri granite was more fractionated than the Nonggeori granite. During the Taebaeg disturbance, Nonggeori granite, Naedeogri granite and pegmatite were intruded and emplaced into the Yulri Group. Migmatitic pegmatite occurring in the southwestern area, however, gave much younger muscovite age than the pegmatite intruded into the Yulri Group in rest of the area did, that might be due to the regional metamorphism of the Post-Choseon disturbance. The Geodo granitic mass and the Imog granite were intruded during the Bulgugsa disturbance.

Objectives: This study investigated sleep quality in female full-time homemakers and evaluated the relationship of sleep disturbance with psychological and socio-environmental factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study adopted a structured survey and sequential recruitment method for randomized participation of community-dwelling full-time female homemakers. Sleep quality and mental health were measured using the Korean version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (K-PSQI), Korean version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (K-BDI-II), Korean version of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (K-BAI), and Korean version of the Beck Hopelessness Scale (K-BHS). The willingness-to-pay (WTP) method was selected to measure the self-evaluated monetary value of household service work. The relationship among the main relevant factors was statistically analyzed through a mediation model. Results: A total of 166 participants were analyzed and classified having poor versus good sleep quality (poor : 24.1%, n = 40 ; good : 75.9%, n = 126 ; cut-off point = 9 on the K-PSQI). Significant between-group differences were observed in mental health status (K-BDI-II, p < 0.001 ; K-BAI, p < 0.001 ; K-BHS, p = 0.003). The moderated mediation model was verified, indicating that depression may mediate the association between nurturing burden and sleep disturbance. The path from nurturing burden to depression may be moderated by average monthly household income. Conclusion: A relatively high portion of full-time female homemakers may suffer from sleep disturbance and interactions between psychological and socio-environmental factors might determine sleep quality, suggesting the need for public health policies targeting improvement of sleep quality and mental health among full-time homemakers.
