The earthquake test Procedures specified in three international codes were reviewed and compared for the network equipments. As technical level on the electronics and networking is growing in Korea, many related equipments are required to export to abroad. The network equipments are now essential tools for communication among individuals as well as societies, especially at the hazard situation such as earthquake strike. The Korean network companies are trying to improve the earthquake resistance performance for their products to expand domestic and international markets. In this paper it is reviewed that most codes related on the earthquake tests can be performed with the facilities provided in Korea for the network equipments. However new facility is required to prepare for more performance and higher regulating codes expected.

Mycobacteroides abscessus (previously Mycobacterium abscessus; Mabc), one of rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is an important pathogen of NTM pulmonary diseases (NTM-PDs) in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Mabc infection is chronic and often challenging to treat due to drug resistance, motivating the development of new therapeutics. Despite this, there is a lack of understanding of the relationship between Mabc and the immune system. This review highlights recent progress in the molecular architecture of Mabc and host interactions. We discuss several microbial components that take advantage of host immune defenses, host defense pathways that can overcome Mabc pathogenesis, and how host-pathogen interactions determine the outcomes of Mabc infection. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interactions during Mabc infection will enable the identification of biomarkers and/or drugs to control immune pathogenesis and protect against NTM infection.

Etofenprox에 대해 저항성과 감수성을 나타내는 복숭아혹진딧물의 개체군간의 살충율을 비교하기 위하여 추천농도(200ppm)로 처리한 결과, 24시간 후 저항성 개체군은 16.7%, 48시간 후는 36.7%의 살충활성을 보여주었고, 감수성 개체군은 24시간 후와 48시간 후에 86.7%로 두 개체군간 살충율은 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 다른 합성 피레스로이드계 살충제의 교차저항성의 발달 여부를 알아보고자 6종의 살충제를 선발하여 추천농도로 살포하고 처리구당 10마리씩 10반복을 수행한 결과, 감수성 개체군과 저항성 개체군은 각각 deltamethrin에서 90%와 31%, lambda cyhalothrin에서 92%와 23%, cypermethrin에서 81%와 14%, $\alpha$-cypermethrin에서 70%와 20%, fenpropathrin에서 29%와 28%, fenvalerate에서 84%와 29%로 나타나 저항성 개체군이 전반적으로 피레스로이드계열 살충제에 대해 높은 저항성을 띄는 것으로 나타났다. 생태적 특성을 알아보기 위한 생명표 실험에서, 페트리디쉬와 포트 실험에서 감수성 개체군의 내적자연증가율($r_m$), 순증가율($R_0$), 평균세대기간($T_c$)이 두 그룹 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. EPG를 이용한 두 개체군간의 약제처리 전후의 섭식행동에서 첫 potential drop이 나타난 시간은 살충제 처리 전 감수성 개체가 평균 73.5초로 저항성 개체의 257.9초 보다 더 빨랐고, 처리 후에도 93.3 초로 저항성의 1,076.2초 보다 빨랐다. 처리된 약제에 반응하여 섭식을 중단했다가 섭식을 재개하려는 전기적 접촉신호 빈도수에서는 감수성 개체는 8.2회, 저항성 개체는 48.8회로 저항성개체가 기주탐색 및 섭식을 재개하려는 시도가 더 많이 이루어진 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 처리 후에 총 섭식시간은 저항성 개체가 6,728.9초로 감수성 개체의 965.5초보다 섭식 시간이 훨씬 길었으며, 총 구침을 빼고 있는 시간도 처리 후 감수성 개체가 저항성 개체보다 3,000초 이상 긴 것으로 나타났다.

Serum complement proteins comprise an important system that is responsible for several innate and adaptive immune defence mechanisms. There were three well described pathways known to lead to the generation of a C3 convertase, which catalyses the proteolysis of complement component C3, and leads to the formation of C3 opsonins (C3b, iC3b and C3d) that fix to bacteria. A pivotal step in the complement pathway is the assembly of a C3 convertase, which digests the C3 complement component to form microbial-binding C3 fragments recognized by leukocytes. The spleen clears microorganisms from the blood. Individuals lacking this organ are more susceptible to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Innate resistance to S. pneumoniae has previously been shown to involve complement components C3 and C4, however this resistance has only a partial requirement for mediators of these three pathways, such as immunoglobulin, factor B and mannose-binding lectin. Therefore it was likely that spleen and complement system provide resistance against blood-borne S. pneumoniae infection through unknown mechanism. To better understand the mechanisms involved, we studied Specific intracellular adhesion molecule-grabbing nonintegrin (SIGN)-R1. SIGN-R1, is a C-type lectin that is expressed at high levels by spleen marginal-zone macrophages and lymph-node macrophages. SIGN-R1 has previously been shown to be the main receptor for bacterial dextrans, as well as for the capsular pneumococcal polysaccharide (CPS) of S. pneumoniae. We examined the specific role of this receptor in the activation of complement. Using a monoclonal antibody that selectively downregulates SIGN-R1 expression in vivo, we show that in response to S. pneumoniae or CPS, SIGN-R1 mediates the immediate proteolysis of C3 and fixation of C3 opsonins to S. pneumoniae or to marginal-zone macrophages that had taken up CPS. These data indicate that SIGN-R1 is largely responsible for the rapid C3 convertase formation induced by S. pneumoniae in the spleen of mice. Also, we found that SIGN-R1 directly binds C1q and that C3 fixation by SIGN-R1 requires C1q and C4 but not factor B or immunoglobulin. Traditionally C3 convertase can be formed by the classical C1q- and immunoglobulin-dependent pathway, the alternative factor-B-dependent pathway and the soluble mannose-binding lectin pathway. Furthermore Conditional SIGN-R1 knockout mice developed deficits in C3 catabolism when given S. pneumoniae or its capsular polysaccharide intravenously. There were marked reductions in proteolysis of serum C3, deposition of C3 on organisms within SIGN-$R1^+$ spleen macrophages, and formation of C3 ligands. The transmembrane lectin SIGN-R1 therefore contributes to innate resistance by an unusual C3 activation pathway. We propose that in the SIGN-R1 mediated complement activation pathway, after binding to polysaccharide, SIGN-R1 captures C1q. SIGN-R1 can then, in association with several other complement proteins including C4, lead to the formation of a C3 convertase and fixation of C3. Therefore, this new pathway for C3 fixation by SIGN-R1, which is unusual as it is a classical C1q-dependent pathway that does not require immuno globulin, contributes to innate immune resistance to certain encapsulated microorganisms.

우리나라와 같이 교육과정에 관한 의사결정이 국가 수준에 집중되어 있을 경우 교육과정 이해의 관점은 필연적이라고 할 수 있으며, 이러한 교육과정 이해는 교육과정 이론가뿐만 아니라 실질적인 교육기관의 교사에게도 중요하고 볼 수 있다. 또한 그 동안 교육개혁에 관한 교사들의 인식을 알아보기 위한 연구는 활발히 이루어져왔다. 그러나 저항요인에 관한 연구는 주로 개인들의 속성에 관한 연구들로서, 습관, 성숙도, 인성, 연령 등과의 관련성을살펴본 결과들이 있었으나 연구결과들 간에 일관성을 찾아보기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 연구는 교육과정 실행의 핵심요인으로 교사를 선정하고 교사의 지식과 태도, 기술과 교육과정 실행 간의 관계에서 교사들이 가지는 교육 저항성에 대한 인식과 부정적인 견해를 알아보는 것으로써 또 다른 의미를 찾고자 한다. 본 연구의 대상은 서울지역의 강남구, 송파구, 중구에 위치한 중 고등학교에서 교사들을 대상으로 했다. 설문조사는 2018년 4월 13일부터 4월 30일까지 3주에 걸쳐 15개 학교 대상으로 무선표집을 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 20.0와 AMOS 20.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 신뢰도 분석, 요인분석 및 구조방정식 모형과 sobel-test를 통해 가설을 검증하였다. 분석결과 교육과정 실행에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 기술체계, 지식체계, 교사의 태도 순으로 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 교사 저항감의 고(高), 저(低)에 따라 각 요인 간의 유의한 차이가 있는 것을 확인하였다.

The effect of genetically engineered rice Bt-9 on the diversity and abundance of plant-dwelling insects and spiders was tested under field conditions. Genetically engineered rice Bt-9, expressing mCry1Ac1 from Bacillus thuringiensis, confers resistance to rice leaf roller (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) and provides tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate (PPT). The study compared Bt-9 and two non-GM reference varieties, Ilmi-byeo and Dongjin-byeo, at LMO isolated fields in Gunwi (Kyungpook National University) and Jeonju (National Institute Agricultural Sciences) in Southern Korea in 2016 - 2017. A total of 40,817 individuals from 62 families and 11 orders were collected from the two living modified organism (LMO) isolated fields. From the three types of rice fields, a total of 13,982, 14,105, and 12,730 individuals from the Bt-9, Ilmi-byeo and Dongjin-byeo were collected, respectively. Throughout the study, the analysis of variance indicated no significant differences (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the abundance and diversity of plant dwelling insects were similar. The data on insect species population densities were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA), which did not distinguish among the three varieties, Bt-9 and the non-GM, reference cultivars, during the cultivation years. However, the results of the PCA analysis were completely divided into four groups based on the yearly survey areas. Therefore, there was no evidence for a negative impact of Bt-9 on the above-ground insects and spiders.

본 연구는 2011년부터 2013년까지 우리 사회 각 영역들에 적극적으로 수용되었던 힐링담론에 주목하여 초기 힐링담론이 자기통치의 측면에서 어떤 방식을 강조했으며, 그것은 수용 국면에서 어떤 담론효과를 보이는지 다루고자 하였다. 힐링담론은 위로와 치유가 필요한 대상을 탈정치화된 개인의 범주로 국한시키며 성찰적이고 성장하는 존재가 되기 위해 현재에 충실할 것을 강조한다. 개인의 성찰과 성장은 시대와 사회에 대한 비판을 대체하면서 치유가 필요한 개인들에게 구체적인 행동규범이자 윤리로 작용한다. 수용자들은 힐링담론을 적극적으로 받아들이면서 성찰과 반성을 통해 스스로에게 당당한 자신이 될 것을 다짐하면서 자신을 권능화하고자 한다. 반면 지배적 수용담론 내부에는 실질적 위로의 부재를 비판하고, 기성세대에 대한 반감을 드러내기도 하며, 자신들을 문제적으로 대상화하는 방식을 거부하는 등의 균열과 특이성들이 존재하고 있다. 그러나 이것은 힐링이라는 구체적 테크놀로지에 대한 부분적 거부이지, 신자유주의라는 거대 질서에 대한 근본적 저항은 아니다.

Post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and oedema disease (ED) caused by E. coli F18 always result in economic losses to pig producers, and no effective methods of controlling PWD and ED are presently available. FUT1 has been identified as a candidate gene controlling the expression of E. coli F18 receptor. This study examined the correlation between F18ab and F18ac adhesion phenotypes and the polymorphism at position M307 of the FUT1 gene in three pig breeds (231 Large White, 107 Landrace and 109 Songliao Black). The results showed: i) Both the susceptible genotypes (GG and GA) and the adhesion phenotypes (adhesive or weekly adhesive) were dominant in all three breeds with frequencies over 95%. ii) Three adhesion patterns of the two F18 variants F18ab and F18ac, i.e., ($ab^+$, $ac^+$), ($ab^+$, $ac^-$) and ($ab^-$, $ac^-$), were found in all three breeds, and there was no significant difference in the distribution of adhesion phenotypes of the two variants (separately or jointly) among the three breeds (p>0.05). iii) The FUT1 M307 genotypes were completely associated with the F18ab adhesion phenotypes and very strongly associated with the F18ac adhesion phenotypes. All individuals of genotype AA were non-adhesive to both F18ab and F18ac. All individuals of genotype GG or GA were adhesive to F18ab, whereas 11% of them were non-adhesive to F18ac. These results suggest that the polymorphism at FUT1 M307 can be used for marker-assisted selection of PWD and ED resistant pigs.

Bacterial leaf pustule (BLP) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines is a serious disease to make pustule and chlorotic haloes in soybean [Glycine max (L). Merr.]. While inheritance mode and map positions of the BLP resistance gene, rxp are known, no sequence information of the gene was reported. In this study, we made five near isogenic lines (NILs) from separate backcrosses (BCs) of BLP-susceptible Hwangkeumkong $\times$ BLP-resistant SS2-2 (HS) and BLP-susceptible Taekwangkong$\times$ SS2-2 (TS) through foreground and background selection based on the four-stage selection strategy. First, 15 BC individuals were selected through foreground selection using the simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers Satt486 and Satt372 flanking the rxp gene. Among them, 11 BC plants showed the BLP-resistant response. The HS and TS lines chosen in foreground selection were again screened by background selection using 118 and 90 SSR markers across all chromosomes, respectively. Eventually, five individuals showing greater than 90% recurrent parent genome content were selected in both HS and TS lines. These NILs will be a unique biological material to characterize the rxp gene.

Recent studies have evaluated the association between specific beverage intake and metabolic risks in adults. However, more evidence is needed to examine the association between the Healthy Beverage Index (HBI) and metabolic factors. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between HBI and metabolic factors in adults. In this cross-sectional study, 338 overweight and obese individuals living in Tabriz, Iran were selected. Data on beverage consumption, demographics, physical activity, and anthropometric characteristics were evaluated using validated standard protocols. The predefined HBI was calculated based on previous studies. The mean value of HBI index among all of the participants was 59.76 ± 6.51. Those at the higher HBI scores had significantly lower waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, fat mass, and weight (p < 0.05). HBI and triglyceride scores also had a significant relationship. It has been shown that at higher HBI scores compared to lower scores, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increase while homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and blood pressure decrease. HBI scores higher among Iranian adults were associated with a better chance of losing weight and weight loss and a better lipid profile, and lower blood pressure. Therefore, HBI can be a useful and helpful tool for assessing the overall quality of beverages adults consume. However, further studies are warranted to confirm the possible health effects of healthy beverage index.
