A bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria was isolated from Kimchi on MRS selective media with the use of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii as an indicator strain. The strain YH-10 was identified as Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis through the API test. The crude bacteriocin (freeze-dried 50% ammonium sulfate precipitate of culture supernatant) produced by the strain was named as lacticin YH-10. Lacticin YH-10 showed the growth inhibitory activity against Gram positive pathogenic bacteria and other lactic acid bacteria. The bacteriocin was inactivated by proteases such as protamex and aroase AP-10 and partially inactivated by amylase, proteinase K, trypsin, and papain. The lacticin YH-10 remained its activity with the treatment of heat at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min or the changes of pH 2 to 11. However, the activity was lost at high pH combined with the exposure to 10$0^{\circ}C$. The bacteriocin production of the strain was started in the exponential phase and stopped in the stationary phase. The approximate molecular mass of the bacteriocin produced by the strain was approximate 14 kDa in the analysis on SDS-PAGE.

Volatile profiles of beverages and encapsulated powders containing Artemisia princeps Pampan extracts were analyzed by solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry during production and storage. Beverages containing 0.32 and 0.64% extracts were stored at room temperature for 8 weeks and $60^{\circ}C$ for 8 days, respectively. Encapsulated particles were stored at room temperature and $60^{\circ}C$ for 8 days. Total volatiles in beverages decreased significantly during storage, irrespective of storage condition (p<0.05). Terpenoids, including cymene, thujone, and ${\beta}$-myrcene, were major volatiles in beverages, and some volatiles including ethylfuran, vinylfuran, and 2-fufural increased in 60oC samples only. Total volatiles in microcapsules at room temperature were not significant different for 8 days (p>0.05), whereas those at $60^{\circ}C$ increased by 16.5 times. Limonene was the most detected volatile in microcapsules, and aldehydes such as hexanal, pentanal, and octanal, and furans such as 2-butylfuran and 2-pentylfuran increased in the $60^{\circ}C$ samples, which may have originated from oxidized lipids used in the microcapsules.

Samhaeju is a traditional Korean noble rice wine, in which its processing is performed at low temperatures for an extended fermentation time and with three brewing steps. In this study, Samhaeju was prepared by different brewing methods that were modified from the method in the literature. Chemical composition of samples were determined to evaluate the quality of the Samhaeju. The Samhaeju was analyzed for pH, total acids, amino nitrogen, Hunter color values, free sugars, organic acids, and volatile components. Before the addition of the second and third mashing, pH values had decreased slightly and total acids had rapidly increased. Free sugar and amino nitrogen contents were high in final product. After addition of the third mashing as the advanced step, a dilution effect was shown. Glucose (A: 0.77-7.0%, B: 0.77-3.81%) was a major free sugar, and lactic acid (A: 0-2,840mg%, B: 0-3,375mg%) was a major organic acid during the entire period of fermentation. Based on principal component analysis of electronic nose data for the components, the stages of Samhaeju fermentation were primarily separated along the first principal component (PC, proportion : 98.67%). The first PC component (PC1) was moved from negative value(-6.16) to positive value(9.00) with increasing fermentation time. The change patterns for pH and total acid during the fermentation period were similar to those of PC1 from the data obtained by electronic nose based on mass spectrometry.

Once oil is spilled into marine environment, it experiences various weathering processes among which evaporation is the most dominant process in the initial stage of weathering. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of evaporation on the physicochemical properties of spilled oil using standardized laboratory experiments. Laboratory evaporation process was successfully reproduced using controlled rotary evaporation method. In case of Iranian Heavy crude (IHC), evaporation rate after 48 hours was $29.3{\pm}0.4%$ (n=40, p<0.001). Evaporation was simulated using ADIOS2 weathering model and the result was in agreement with laboratory experiment. Chemical composition changes of petroleum hydrocarbons including alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and biomarkers by evaporation rate were also analyzed. As oil evaporated, low molecular weight alkanes and PAHs decreased, while biomakers showed conservative characteristics. Among biomarkers, $17{\alpha}(H)$, $21{\beta}(H)$-hopane was used for calculation of weathering rates, which matched with evaporative mass losses. Weathering rate calculation using hopane showed that stranded oils of weathering stage I (28.9%) and mesocosm oil weathering experiment till 5 days (26.5%) were mainly affected by evaporation process.

This study was performed to investigate the role of phytohormones in the bulbing of garlic in order to assess the yield and quality. The effect on endogenous plant hormones such as gibberellin (GA) content was also examined during growth stage i.e. clove differentiation to bulbing in garlic. More than 18 gibberellins in garlic were identified with extensive gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (GC-MS-SIM) quantitative analysis. The results showed that GAs were biosynthesized by both non C-13 hydroxylation pathway (NCH) and early C-13 hydroxylation pathway (ECH) in garlic plant. It was also revealed that NCH pathway leading to synthesis of bioactive $GA_4$ was the more prominent GA biosynthesis pathway than ECH pathway in which bioactive $GA_1$ was synthesized. Total GAs level was gradually increased from clove differentiation to bulbing and later decreased, which portrays the active role of GA in differentiation. The biosynthesis ratio of bioactive $GA_4$ and $GA_1$ concentration was similar to that of total GAs content, which was closely related with bulb development in garlic.

The traditional mass media function of conveying information and forming public opinion has rapidly changed into an environment in which information and opinions are shared through social media with the development of ICT technology, and such social media further strengthens its influence. In other words, it has been confirmed that the influence of the public opinion through the production and sharing of public opinion on political, social and economic changes is increasing, and this change is already in use on the political campaign. In addition, efforts to grasp and reflect the opinions of the public by utilizing social media are being actively carried out not only in the political area but also in the public area. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of using social media based public opinion in educational policy. We collected media data, analyzed the main topic and probability of occurrence of each topic, and topic trends. As a result, we were able to catch the main interest of the public(the 'Domestic Computer Education Time' accounted for 43.99%, and 'Prime Project Selection' topics was 36.81% and 'Artificial Intelligence Program' topics was 7.94%). In addition, we could get a suggestion that flexible policies should be established according to the timing of the curriculum and the subject of the policy even if the category of the policy is same.

Total phenolic content was the highest in 60% ethanol extracts at 21.91 mg/g, and inhibitory activity against tyrosinase of 60% ethanol extracts was higher than ethanol extracts of other concentration. The inhibitory compounds against tyrosinase from Persimmon leaves were purified using Sephadex LH-20, MCI-gel CHP-20 column chromatography with gradient elution. Two purified compounds were isolated as a result. The chemical structures of each compound were determined and identified using $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR, FAB-Mass. The compounds were confirmed as (+)-gallocatechin and prodelphinidin B-3. The tyrosinase inhibitory activities of purified (+)-gallocatechin and prodelphinidin B-3 were 29.5 and 40.2%, respectively. The inhibitory activities of (+)-gallocatechin and prodelphinidin B-3 against melanin biosynthesis in melanoma cell were 32.5 and 46.7%. The safety of essence with tyrosinase inhibitory compounds from persimmon leaves was also assessed by various safety profiles. First, changes in pH (4.90~4.95) and viscosity (23,000~26,000 cP) was not detected for 60 days. Essence also showed stability against temperature and light for 60 days. All these findings suggest that extracts from persimmon leaves have a great potential as a cosmetical ingredient with a potent whitening effect.

Introduction : In recent years, vascularized, i.e., living bone grafts, have been widely applied in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, as a method of treatment of congenital or acquired non-unions, and a large defects in mandible. The vascularized fibular graft has been especially used for this purpose because of its shape and mechanical strength. The postoperative hypertrophy of grafted fibula is of particular interest to us. Material and methods : This study was undertaken to determine the volume change(indirect methods) and radiographic appearance of a free vascularized fibular graft as it responds to the mechanical and physiologic features of its new environment. In order to elucidate the long term effect on fibular mass after mandibular reconstruction, change in various method of volume change was utilized as indirect measure of change in long-term. Results : The younger the patient, the more prominent and rapid the hypertrophy of the graft. the hypertrophy of the graft never exceeded the diameter of the recipient bone, except for callus enlargement after stress fracture of the grafted bone. Conclusion : Etiologic explanations for this phenomenon have not been clarified in the previeous literature. some of the factors implicated include a periosteal reaction or new bone formation, as seen at the onset of bone union after a fracture in a child, a reaction to the mechanical loading on the graft and a reaction to the circulatory changes resulting from the grafting procedure.

In neo-liberalism, the change-value of the market and of the machandise based on the individual as the consumer dominate the public sphere, and the capital power encroach on it. with the technological revolution. At the same time the public sphere as such represent the media sphere, which is more and more subordinate, and have no choice but to do to the governmental authority having political power privatized. The private usage of reason in the public sphere is carried out at the structual level. How can we call such a space in which the private usage of reason is generalized and dominant as the public sphere? And so now, we sound out the possibility of the public sphere such as a new space of the universality where the public usage of reason can be realized without any limits and with free. So, when we imagine the proletarian public sphere, in which co-exist the divers private interests, as a new public sphere capable to be constructed, we can address a question as follow. What is the caracteristic of the proletarian public sphere in modern society?, Is the public community able to be formed and realized in such space? How would have the proletarian public sphere the carateristics of the publis sphere? What is the attribute of the community that the proletarian public sphere would make, and what is its force of emancipation? The power is no longer stable and static. Rather, it is reconstructed and reorganized in the divers phases of the everyday life. It is the reason why we put on the order of the day the proletarian public sphere as alternative public space, which would be a place of divers hegemonic representation. And now, we are aware of the beginning of thses changes.
