연구목적: 이 연구는 최근 급증하고 있는 신종 마약류에 대하여 살펴보고, 이를 근절할 수 있는 대응방안을 제시하기 위한 목적의 연구이다. 연구방법:연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 관련 분야의 선행연구 및 통계, 해외 자료 등을 이용하여 신종 마약류에 대한 문제점을 파악하고 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구결과: 과거에 비해 국내로 마약류 투약·유통·제조하는 마약류 범죄자의 적발 사례가 급격하게 증하고 있는 모습을 보이고 있다. 2021년 마약류 관련 통계자료를 살펴보면, 2021년에는 전년대비 감소하는 모습을 보였으나, 적발되는 마약량은 세배 이상 증가한 모습을 보이고 있으며, 외국인 마약사범이 급벽하게 증가하고 있고, 마약류 사범의 연령대가 감소하는 우려스러운 모습을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 신종 마약류 확산이 크게 영향을 끼치고 있는데, 특히 펜타닐과, 야바, 까뜨, 크라톰 등과 같은 신종마약류의 확산과 새로운 향정신성의 의약품 및 대마관련 물품의 영향이라고 보여진다. 결론: 신종마약류의 확산에 따라 임시마약류 지정방식을 간소화하고 외국인 마약사범의 단속을 확대하고, 관세청 및 식약청 등 관련 기관과의 협력을 강화함과 동시에 마약사범에 대한 강력한 처벌을 통하여 신종마약류에 대한 대응을 강화하는 방안을 제안해 본다.

The utilization of fibre in concrete production not only solves the problem of disposing this solid waste but helps conserve natural resources. This study investigated the effect of waste aluminum shavings on bond strength of laterized concrete. Laterized concrete spliced beams of $150{\times}250{\times}2150mm$ and $175{\times}275{\times}2300mm$ were prepared. Fifteen specimens with 16 mm and 20 mm were cast with the addition of aluminium shavings at varying percentages of 1vol%, 1.5vol% and 2vol%; another ten specimens with 16 mm and 20 mm diameter bars at 0% of aluminium shavings were cast as control. Concrete cubes of number were prepared, three taken for each set of various percentages of aluminium shavings were used to determine the concrete strength. It was observed from the analysis that the compressive strength decreased as the percentage of aluminium shavings increased, while the aluminium shavings increased the bond between concrete and steel. However, for normal concrete there was an increase in bond resistance with increase in aluminium shavings. The bond resistance of 16 mm was found to be higher than that of 20 mm in all the specimens tested.

The global evolution of antibiotic resistance has threatened the efficacy of available treatment options with ravaging impacts observed in developing countries. As a result, investigations into the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the role of plasmids are crucial. In this study, we investigated the presence and distribution of bla_TEM and gyrA genes, plasmid profiles, and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella strains isolated from raw meat and stool sources across Niger State, Nigeria. Ninety-eight samples, comprising 72 raw meat and 26 stool samples, were screened for Salmonella spp. The antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella isolates to 10 commonly used antimicrobial agents was determined using the KirbyBauer disc diffusion method. Isolates were further analyzed for plasmids, in addition to PCR amplification of beta-lactamase (bla_TEM) and gyrA genes. A total of 31 Salmonella spp. were isolated, with 22 from raw meat (70.97%) and 9 from stool (29.03%). Salmonella spp. with multiple resistance patterns to ceftazidime, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ampicillin, cloxacillin, and gentamicin were detected. Ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were found to be the most effective among the antibiotics tested, with 67.7% and 93.5% susceptible isolates, respectively. Nine (29.03%) isolates harbored plasmids with molecular sizes ranging between 6557 bp and 23137 bp. PCR amplification of gyrA was detected in 1 (3.23%) of the 31 isolates while 28 isolates (90.32%) were positive for bla_TEM. This study shows the incidence of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella isolates and the possible role of plasmids; it also highlights the prevalence of ampicillin resistance in this local population.
