The ecology of Korean Production Industry has been changing rapidly. Small & medium size independent production companys have been shrinking in market share while big size production companys are taking larger share than before. This study intends to show the dramatic change of the ownership in Korean production industry and the consequencies. When considering positive development of production industry, small & medium size independent production companys should play important roles but the environment of the industry is not easy for them. The implication of this study is that small & medium size independent production companys have to search for survival strategies to adapt environmental change.

Environmental change of consuming contents has led corporates to acknowledge the possibility of social media as being marketing platform. And as the importance of 'contents' is growing bigger at the same time, 'Content Marketing' is getting attention because 'Content' plays the key role in current marketing since it can deliver meaningful values to the companies and the customers both. Many companies are practicing contents marketing employing YouTube by not only creating their own YouTube channels and YouTube contents but also collaborating with YouTube creators. Purpose of this study is to figure out how domestic standalone beauty brands that are actively practicing content marketing, are exploiting the YouTube and to suggest design direction for future YouTube content marketing. 'Etude', 'Innisfree', 'Misha', 'The Face Shop' were selected for analyzing the content marketing cases using YouTube. As a result, this study could conclude that if the brand has inadequate number of subscribers, it is better to collaborate with the creators. Also, clarifying contents' purpose and distinguishing the way of delivering it is important.

In this study, the causes of the boom in the container shipping industry pointed out by the media were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that on the supply side, shipping companies mooring ships in response to IMO environmental regulations caused a rise in freight rates due to 'ships that could not be operated' even if demand increased. In terms of demand, it was determined that the claim that social distancing promoted purchases and increased demand was somewhat unfounded. The reason is that the relationship between social distancing and rising fares is weak.

The fate and transport of many trace metals, metalloids, and radionuclides in porous media is closely linked to the biogeochemical reactions that occur as a result of organic carbon being sequentially degraded by different microorganisms using a series of terminal electron acceptors. The spatial distribution of these biogeochemical reactions is affected by processes that are often unique and/or characteristic to a specific environment. Generic model formulations have been developed and applied to simulate the fate and transport of arsenic in two hydrologic settings, permanently flooded freshwater sediments, namely non-vegetated wetland sediments and vegetated wetland sediments. The key physical processes that have been considered are sedimentation, effects of roots on biogeochemistry, advective transport, and differences in mixing processes. Steady-state formulations were applied to the sedimentary environments. Results of numerical simulations show that these physical processes significantly affect the chemical profiles of different electron acceptors, their reduced species, and arsenate as well as arsenite that will result from the degradation of an organic carbon source in the sediments. Even though specific biological transformations are allowed to proceed only in zones where they are thermodynamically favorable, the results show that mixing as well as abiotic reactions can make the profiles of individual electron acceptors overlap and/or appear to reverse their expected order.

In this study, the physicochemical properties of leachate and the bacteria existence in leachate using molecular biology methods for 4 animal carcass disposals on the disposal lapse time was analyzed. The result of leachate physicochemical analysis in the middle stage (been buried 20 months) showed higher EC, DO, $HCO_3{^-}$, TOC, T-N and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ concentration compared to the first stage data (been buried 5 months). For identification of leachate using 16S rRNA method, Lysinibacillus sphaericus, Bacillus pumilus, Pseudoclavibacter helvolus, Pseudochrobactrum saccharolyticum and Corynebacterium callunae in the first stage, Bacillus cereus, Lysinibacillus sphaericus, Bacillus circulans and Corynebacterium glutamicum in the middle stage was observed, while there were detections of pathogenicity bacteria such as B. cereus and L. sphaericus. This study improves our knowledge of the fate and transport in geologic media, treatment, risk analysis on the leachate from animal carcass disposal sites.

Perchlorate ($ClO_4^-$) is a contaminant found in surface water and soil/ground water. Microbial removal of perchlorate is the method of choice since microorganisms can reduce perchlorate into harmless end-products. Such microorganisms require an electron donor to reduce perchlorate. Conventional perchlorate-removal techniques employ heterotrophic perchlorate-reducing bacteria that use organic compounds as electron donors to reduce perchlorate. Since continuous removal of perchlorate requires a continuous supply of organic compounds, heterotrophic perchlorate removal is an expensive process. Feasibility of autotrophic perchlorate-removal using elemental sulfur granules and activated sludge was examined in this study. Granular sulfur is relatively inexpensive and activated sludge is easily available from wastewater treatment plants. Batch tests showed that activated sludge microorganisms could successfully degrade perchlorate in the presence of granular sulfur as an electron donor. Perchlorate biodegradation was confirmed by molar yield of $Cl^-$ as the perchlorate was degraded. Scanning electron microscope revealed that rod-shaped microorganisms on the surface of sulfur particles were used for the autotrophic perchlorate-removal, suggesting that sulfur particles could serve as supporting media for the formation of biofilm as well. DGGE analyses revealed that microbial profile of the inoculum (activated sludge) was different from that of the biofilm sample obtained from enrichment culture that used sulfur particles for $ClO_4^-$-degradation.

In this study, samples were collected from the Sumummulbangdui wetland at the Halla Mountain in Jeju Island in order to isolate novel bacterial strain. Bacterial strains belonging to the class Alphaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria were isolated after spreading samples onto solid agar media. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the strains assigned to the two classes were compared to those of type strains of the species. The strains that showed less than 98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the validly published species were considered to be novel species candidates. A total of 19 strains were regarded as novel strains which can be regarded as novel species candidates. In the Alphaproteobacteria, 6 novel strains were affiliated with the genera Novosphingobium, and Rhizobium. A total of 13 novel strains belong to Gammaproteobacteria that assigned to the family Moraxellaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, and Enterobacteriaceae were identified. Cultural, physiological, chemotaxonomic characteristics and fatty acids compositions have been determined for the novel species candidates, and the characteristics are described in this study.

To prevent turbidity breakthrough in a depth filter caused by hydraulic shock loads, influence of turbidity and particle number in filtrate by variation of operating filter number depending on inflow change was investigated. Inflow quantity at the S water treatment plant (WTP) was varied and ratio of maximum/minimum inflow quantity was 2.2, therefore filtration velocity was also subsequently changed. The S WTP changed operating filter number depending on inflow variation to minimize change of filtration velocity. Particle breakthrough was not severe when operation system was changed, out-of-operation and re-start of filter was repeated depending on inflow quantity. Slight particle breakthrough was noticed when re-start of filter was implemented at the filter that had a cumulative filtration run time of less than 10 h or more than 50 h. This can be attributed to the inadequate ripening and over accumulation of particles on media. Therefore, it is more efficient to choose a re-starting filter basin which has cumulative filtration run time more than 10 h or less than 50 h to reduce particle breakthrough. Filter number variation depending on inflow change was proven to be a method for improvement of unit filter run volume (UFRV).

This study was performed to identify the effect of fertilizer application and planting method on growth and yield of 'Seolhyang' strawberry during seedling raising. According to the concentration of fertilizer applied, the height of daughter plants was the highest at an EC of $0.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. Leaf number and crown diameter were greatest at an EC of $0.6-0.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. In the first measurement, root number was highest in non-fertilizer application, while root weight was heaviest in non-fertilizer application and EC $0.4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The higher the concentration of fertilizer applied as culture media, the lower the growth rate. Thirty days after planting on the main field, plant height and number of new leaf were highest at an EC of $0.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. However, no significant difference was found in leaf length and width and chlorophyll content according to fertilizer application. Marketable yield of 25 g or higher was greatest in EC $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. In contrast, no significance was found in total marketable yield at an EC of $0.4-0.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. Aconsistent pattern was exhibited in the growth of 1-5 harvesting flower clusters according to planting method. The length of leaf and flower cluster was short and chlorophyll content was low, when bed soil was removed 100% in harvesting of the first flower cluster. In all treatment, leaf length was shortened until harvesting of the second and third flower cluster, but rapidly lengthened in harvesting of the third and fourth flower clusters. Moreover, the length of flower cluster had a increasing tendency from harvesting of the third flower cluster. However, chlorophyll content was reduced continuously until harvesting of the fifth flower cluster, and was lowest in harvesting of the fourth flower cluster without removal of bed soil. Total yield was greatest in treatment of crown removal in bed soil between November and May. Late marketable yield between March and May was highest in treatment of 100% bed soil removal, followed by treatment of crown removal. Marketable yield of 25 g or higher was greatest in treatment of crown removal between December and February, while greatest in treatment of 100% bed soil removal between March and May.
