  • 21세기 글로벌 무한경쟁 시대에 과학기술 분야 국제협력의 추진은 국가 경쟁력을 결정짓는 매우 중요한 수단이다. 세계적으로 기술개발이 급속한 속도로 이루어지고 있는 오늘날 해외 기술개발 정보의 획득 없이 연구개발을 수행한다는 것은 상상할 수 없다. 이에 맞춰 정부는 오랜 기간 과학기술국제협력기반을 구축하는데 많은 노력을 해왔고 그 결과 국가 간 신뢰도 높아졌다. 그러나 국제협력의 성과와 관련해서 여전히 미흡하다는 지적이 종종 제기된다. 과학기술 국제협력의 중요성이 날로 더해가고 있는 현 시점에서 과학기술 국제협력 성과분석을 통해 현재까지의 진행상황을 점검하고 향후 국제협력을 위한 개선방안의 제안은 의미 있는 일이라 하겠다. 본 연구는 교육과학기술부의 과학기술국제화사업을 중심으로 성과 및 효율성 분석을 통하여 연도별이나 사업별로 성과를 비교분석하고 특성을 살펴보고자 한다. 더불어 분석을 통하여 과학기술국제화사업의 성과제고를 위한 방안을 다각도로 제안하고자 한다.

  • The Office of Science and Technology Innovation (OSTI) was created by a different method of organizational change from that of precedent administrative reforms. According to results of the new method, the OSTI case can be widely applied to other ministries as an alternative model for governmental reform. The theory part introduced two approaches of organizational reform, namely structural approach which focuses on the level of hierarchial authority and process approach which emphasizes the flow of information/expertise in organizational operation. It also discussed various ways of understanding for S&T policy coordination. After this, the paper reviewed details of the OSTI reform with special reference to implications for the mode of S&T policy coordination. It concludes that the OSTI may offer an opportunity to strengthen the coordination mechanism of the process approach.

  • This experiment was conducted to investigate the protein sparing effect of rumen protected lysine(RPLys) and methionine hydroxyl analogue(MHA) in sheep. The treatments were $T_1$ (CP 15% + RPLys 0%), $T_2$ (CP 12% + RPLys 0%), $T_3$ (CP 12% + RPLys 0.4%) and $T_4$ (CP 12% + RPLys 0.4% + MHA 0.3%). Ruminal characteristics, in situ and in vitro digestibility and nitrogen retention rate were measured in sheep receiving different combinations of dietary supplement. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Ruminal pH and VFA concentrations were not affected by the treatments. Ruminal ammonia-N concentration was high in sheep fed diets $T_2$, $T_3$ and $T_4$ with the highest value in the $T_4$ treatment(p<0.05). 2. The digestibilities of dry matter and organic matter were not affected by the treatments. 3. Nitrogen losses through feces and urine were the highest with $T_1$ (p<0.05) and nitrogen retention rates of groups $T_1$, $T_2$, $T_3$ and $T_4$ were 18.6, 32.4, 35.5 and 27.5% of nitrogen intake, respectively, indicating that RPLys supplementation improved nitrogen retention in sheep.

  • Korean Government has established a lot of S&T laws to promote National Science and Technology since established the Ministry of S&T and the S&T Promotion Law in 1967. There are more than ninties of S&T related laws to support Government's S&T policies recently. Even though Korean Government has enacted plenty of S&T related laws are required to be reformed. In this paper, firstly, we define what is S&T related law and the relationship between S&T related law system. Secondly, we investigate the problems of S&T related law with respect to several aspects such as historical, executing, international environment, and systematic aspects. Finally, we suggest the directions of S&T law reform. We conclude that S&T laws need to be merged and abolished in some areas such as various council system and S&T incentive system especially related to UR restriction.

  • The 21st century is not only the knowledge-based society but also the unifie era for Korea. It implies that Korea should prepare for the unification, especially in the area of knowledge, science, and technology. Under this background, this paper deals with how we can prepare for the unification of South and North Korea in science and technology (S&T) area. There have been no sufficient theoretical studies in this area. This paper, therefore, argues that regional innovation system, which has been developed since the beginning of the 1990s, could be effectively applied to the S&T cooperation and unification between both Koreas. It argues that regional innovation systems can formulate sectoral innovation systems effectively, which lead to a competent national innovation system. According to this study, South and North Korean regions have complementary sectoral innovation systems that could effectively cooperate with each other. Such S&T cooperation could make a great contribution to the S&T integration between two Koreas in the future. This paper argues, therefore, that S&T cooperation between two Koreas should target the unification of South and North Korean regional innovation systems. This paper names it as the unified national innovation system.

  • Internet of Things (IoT) is now spreading everywhere. It's the technology of every person's need so we can't step back from IoT but we can secure it as it is spreading quickly so it has greater chances of danger and being misused. There is an urgent need to make IoT devices secure from getting cracked or hacked. A lot of methods had tried and still trying to mitigate IoT security issues. In this paper Blockchain is going to be the solution of most of the IoT issues or problems. We have discussed or highlighted security issues with centralized IoT and then provided solution of such security challenges through the use of blockchain because is based on a decentralized technology that is hard to modify or update.

  • Streptococcus agalactiae is an important bacterial pathogen and causative agent of diseases including neonatal sepsis and meningitis, as well as infections in healthy adults and pregnant women. Although antibiotic treatments effectively relieve symptoms, the emergence and transmission of multidrug-resistant strains indicate the need for an effective immunotherapy. Effector T helper (Th) 17 cells are a relatively newly discovered subpopulation of helper CD4+ T lymphocytes, and which, by expressing interleukin (IL)-17A, play crucial roles in host defenses against a variety of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. However, whether S. agalactiae infection can induce the differentiation of CD4+ T cells into Th17 cells, and whether IL-17A can play an effective role against S. agalactiae infections, are still unclear. In this study, we analyzed the responses of CD4+ T cells and their defensive effects after S. agalactiae infection. The results showed that S. agalactiae infection induces not only the formation of Th1 cells expressing interferon (IFN)-γ, but also the differentiation of mouse splenic CD4+ T cells into Th17 cells, which highly express IL-17A. In addition, the bacterial load of S. agalactiae was significantly increased and decreased in organs as determined by antibody neutralization and IL-17A addition experiments, respectively. The results confirmed that IL-17A is required by the host to defend against S. agalactiae and that it plays an important role in effectively eliminating S. agalactiae. Our findings therefore prompt us to adopt effective methods to regulate the expression of IL-17A as a potent strategy for the prevention and treatment of S. agalactiae infection.

  • Chloride ion is one of the most important corrosive agents in atmospheric corrosion, especially in marine environments. It has high adsorption rate and increases the conductivity of electrolytes. Since chloride ions affect the protective properties and the surface composition of the corrosion product, they increase the corrosion rate. A low level of chloride ions leads to uniform corrosion, whereas a high level of chloride ions may induce localized corrosion. However, higher solution temperatures tend to increase the corrosion rate by enhancing the migration of oxygen in the solution. This work focused on the effect of NaCl concentration and temperature on galvanic corrosion between A516Gr.55 carbon steel and AA7075T6 aluminum alloys. When AA7075T6 aluminum alloy was galvanically coupled to A516Gr.55 carbon steel, AA7075T6 was severely corroded regardless of NaCl concentration and solution temperature, unlike the corrosion properties of single specimen. The combined effect of surface treatment involving carbon steel and aluminum alloy on corrosion behavior was also discussed.

  • Seven bacterial strains, 15J4M-1, 15J13-8, 16MFM10, 15J1-8, SR1-5-4, 15J13-6, and 15J8-11 assigned to the phylum Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes were isolated from soil samples collected from Jeju, Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strains 15J4M-1, 15J13-8, 16MFM10, 15J1-8, SR1-5-4, 15J13-6, and 15J8-11 were most closely related to Bacillus selenatarsenatis $SF-1^T$ (with 99.4% similarity), Brevibacterium luteolum $CF87^T$ (99.5%), Carnobacterium iners CCUG $62000^T$ (99.6%), Exiguobacterium profundum $10C^T$ (99.3%), Larkinella insperata LMG $22510^T$ (99.3%), Pseudokineococcus lusitanus CECT $7306^T$ (99.4%), and Spirosoma endophyticum $EX36^T$ (99.3%), respectively. This is the first report of these seven species in Korea.
