  • This study examined the effects of family environmental variables and parent-child communication on the self-esteem of delinquent and non-delinquent juveniles. For this study, a questionnaire was administered to 117 non-delinquent juveniles living with their parents as high school students and 98 delinquent juveniles aged 15~18 who live in detention centers for adolescence. The data was analyzed using t-test, cross-tab, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis with SPSS /PC window program. Based on these results, the following conclusions were drawn. First, it was found that non-delinquent juveniles show a more open communication style with their parents than delinquent juveniles. Furthermore, a high level of parent-child communication was associated with high self-esteem in adolescents. Second, although physical environment such as family type or economic status influences an adolescents' self-esteem, the degree of positive parent-child communication style has a much greater effect on an adolescents' self-esteem. Finally, in terms of the effects of family environmental variables and parent-child communication style on self-esteem, parent-child communication style has a stronger effect on delinquent juveniles than non-delinquent juveniles. These results shows the importance of communication style between parent and child, especially for families with delinquent juveniles.

  • This study is aimed to examine the process of juveniles' steeping in cyber crime for finding out data which could be applied to prevent juveniles' cyber crime and to rehabilitate the juveniles related in cyber crime. Also, this study is designed focusing on the Grounded Theory method, and 5 probationees connected with internet fraud have been interviewed as participants for this study. For the juveniles who had been steeped in cyber crime, some findings according to the analysed data have been emerged in the context of social work intervention. First, interventions need to be focused on the improvement of social environment and juveniles' crooked thoughts to prevent juvenile's Internet fraud and to rehabilitate juveniles related with Internet fraud. Second, workers need to guide the juveniles who have been indecisive on the another crime into regretting their guilty attitude in depth. Third, the prevention of juveniles' Internet fraud needs to be conducted on the level of social movement, and social work practice centers need to grope concrete programs networked with correctional authorities for the social movement.

  • This study aimed to identify the relationship between MBTI personality types and parent-child relationships among the juvenile delinquents non-delinquent adolescents. From the analyses of empirical data, the following tendencies were found. First, delinquent juveniles are more likely to be classified to be such MBTI types as "Extroverted," "Sensing," "Thinking," and "Judging" than non-delinquent juveniles. Second, contrary to popular belief, the juvenile delinquent group was fecund to have more positive attitudes toward their relationship with their parents than the non-delinquent juvenile group. Third, for both the non-delinquent juveniles and the delinquent juveniles, "I" and "P" preferences were related with a positive perception of the relationship with their parents. Fourth, "EJ," as a psychological temperament type, was related with a Positive relationship with parents for both groups. Fifth, the psychological function types were not significantly related with the relationship with parents. Sixth, "EP" and "IP," as psychological attitudes types, were related significantly with a positive relationship with parents. Seventh, the juveniles classified as "ESTJ" had good relationships with parents, whereas "ISTP" types, on the other hand, tended to show the most negative attitudes toward their relationship with parents. The most interesting result of this study was the finding that the "P (perceiving)" types in the non-delinquent juveniles group as well as in the juvenile delinquents group tend to have negative attitudes toward their parents.

  • We report here an improved collecting method of the infective juveniles multiplied in the host insect with the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser. The specific characteristics of this method involved the opening of the host insect hemocoel after the population of their infective juveniles reached at the maximum (6 days at 25$\^{C}$ after nematode treatment to nonimmunized host insects) to facilitate the escape of the multiplied nematodes. It also used 'Baermann funnel'method to select the infective juveniles effectively. This improved 'Baermann funnel'method was compared with a traditional collecting method, which was characterized with a combination of untreated host insects and 'White trap'collecting method, in both yield and pathogenicity of the collected infective juveniles to the fifth instar larvae of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (H bner). More than 95% of the nematode populations collected by the two methods represented the morphological infective juveniles. To prove the nematodes to be infective juveniles functionally, pathogenicity and infective activity were compared in the nematodes collected by the two methods. They were not different in both pathogenicities and infective activities which were measured by the numbers of nematodes penetrated into the hemocoel of the insect hosts after exposure for the specific times to the same dote of infective juveniles. Significant difference between two collecting methods was found in the total yields of the infective juveniles per host insect About 50,000 infective juveniles per infected fifth instar larva of S. exigua after 6 day incubation at 25$\^{C}$ were collected only for 2 days by the improved 'Baermann funnel'method, while about 20,000 infective juveniles per host were collected for 10 days by the classical 'White trap'method.

  • This study aims to investigate the patterns and incidence rates of morphological deformities during artificial fingerling production of blackhead seabream (BSB, Acanthopagrus schlegeli) juveniles by visual and soft X-ray observations of BSB juveniles (n=881) collected from four industrial hatcheries. Using both methods, we observed seven types of external deformity ($11.2{\pm}4.4%$) and eight types of skeletal deformity ($53.4{\pm}5.1%$). Lordosis occurred in all hatcheries with the highest frequency and the mean frequency was $13.1{\pm}4.4%$ (24.5% in total abnormal) by soft X-ray. Although they had a similar standard length (SL), juveniles with lordosis had a significantly lower condition factor and body weight than normally developed juveniles (P<0.05); normal distribution curves of histogram of body proportions, i.e., body height (BH)/head length (HL) and trunk (=SL-HL)/BH, indicated differences between normally developed juveniles and those with lordosis. In addition, 59% of juveniles with lordosis had vertebral curvature of less than $20^{\circ}$, generally at the $17^{th}$ vertebrae. It is expected that the above results will be used as basic data necessary for determining the cause of lordosis and for developing techniques to prevent this symptom in the fingering production industry of BSB juveniles.

  • This study attempted to examine the differences between male and female juveniles from the perspective of the parentification and to discover if the differences in the effects of shame and guilt proneness on the parentification of juveniles according to gender were observed under the control of negative family environment variables. With this purpose in mind, the researcher measured negative family environments, and the shame proneness, guilt proneness, and parentification of 225 male and 243 female students in middle schools in Seoul. The results indicate that there were differences in the levels of parentification according to gender male juveniles showed higher levels of parentification than female juveniles. In addition, after negative family environment variables were under control, both shame proneness and guilt proneness effected the parentification. Furthermore, while the effects were different according to gender, guilt proneness had a significant effect on parentification for males and shame proneness had a significant effect on the parentification for females. In conclusion, it was suggested that female's parentification as effected by shame proneness nees to be be noted although male juveniles showed higher levels of the parentification.

  • Effect of nematicidal compounds on hatchability of sugar beet cyst nematode, Heterodera schachtii and its infective juveniles was investigated. The sugar beet cyst nematode was isolated from Chinese cabbage field in Samcheok in Korea. Acute toxicity of nematicidal compounds against infective juveniles was also tested to find the $LC_{50}$ by exposing juveniles to given dilutions of each compound. Hatchability and mortality of infective juveniles of H. schachtii were influenced by nematicidal compounds (Fluopyram 40% SC, imicyafos 30% SC, fosthiazate 30% SC, abamectine 1.68% SC, terthiophene, and Eclipta prostrata extract). Fluopyram and imicyafos yielded the lowest rates of hatching. Total hatched infective juveniles were significantly different among nematicidal compounds. Positive correlation in percentage reduction of hatching was observed in fluopyram. Furthermore, the highest mortality was also observed in the treatments of fluopyram and imicyafos ($LC_{50}$ of 0.0543 and 0.0178 ppm respectively). The study, therefore, demonstrated available alternative nematicidal compounds which could be used in the control of H. schachtii.

  • Postlarval and juvenile anchovies Engraulis japonicus were collected using a gape net with wings in the coastal waters of Yeosu in July and August 2015, and their gut contents were analyzed. The size range of the postlarvae was 11.0-24.2 mm (notochord length) and that of the juveniles was 25.1-37.4 mm (standard length). Guts were empty in 64.5% of postlarvae and in 51.7% of juveniles. The dominant prey organisms in the guts of both postlarvae and juveniles were copepoda. Calanoida were important prey organisms for postlarvae and were dominated by nauplii of Paracalanus sp. and Calanus sp. as well as unidentified copepod naupill. Calanoida were also important in the diets of juveniles, whose gut contents were dominated by Paracalanus sp. and Cirripedia. Gut compositions were significantly different (P<0.05) among three body size levels in postlarvae and juveniles. As the body size of the postlarvae and juveniles increased, Calanoida constituted a larger proportion of the gut contents, while the proportion of copepod nauplii decreased.

  • The objective of this study was to develop a school uniform sizing system with high coverage rate for middle school boys, who are in the stage of rapid growth, by identifying problems in existing school uniform sizing systems through surveys of students and uniform manufacturing companies, and analyzing juveniles' physical sizes. For this purpose. the study conducted a survey about how middle school boys choose their uniform sizes, and what complaints they have on the size of the uniforms. In addition, it was investigated what is the current state of uniform manufacturing and sizing systems through a survey of uniform companies, and the study identified problems in the size of school uniforms by comparing physical sizes of juveniles' aged 14 to 16 with the sizing systems of the companies and KS standards in 1997. Juveniles' physical data was a part of the material of the national anthropometric data in 1997. Using the two-way distribution of juveniles' height-bust girth and height-waist girth, this study established the sizing system by increasing the number of sizes for the short interval where juveniles' physical sizes are densely distributed whereas limiting the number of sizes for the long interval where juveniles' physical sizes are rarely distributed, considering the difference between companies' standard and KS' standard.

  • Vitamin C plays an important role for fish survival, growth and disease resistance. However, the optimal vitamin C for rearing red drum Sciaenops ocellatus juveniles in Vietnam is not known. To address this issue, a 70-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the optimal dietary vitamin C requirements for red drum juveniles. Seven isonitrogenous (55.35% protein) and isolipidic (9.07% lipid) diets were formulated to include graded vitamin C concentrations of 23.2, 124.5, 235.2, 423.8, 626.7, 824.6, and 1,027.3 mg/kg, respectively. The results showed that fish fed on 423.8 mg/kg vitamin C diet had the highest growth rate, which can be linked to the increased feed utilization. Broken-line analysis indicated that the optimal dietary vitamin C requirements of red drum juveniles were 342.92 and 405.80 mg/kg for growth parameters, feed utilization, body composition and biochemical parameters of serum. Based on these parameters the optimal vitamin C supplementation level for red drum juveniles was estimated in the range of 342.92-405.80 mg/kg vitamin C in the diets with direct applications in producing artificial feed for rearing juveniles of this species in Vietnam.
