  • Although microorganisms are, in fact, the most diverse and abundant type of organism on Earth, the ecological functions of microbial populations remains poorly understood. A variety of bacteria including marine Vibrios encounter numerous ecological challenges, such as UV light, predation, competition, and seasonal variations in seawater including pH, salinity, nutrient levels, temperature and so forth. In order to survive and proliferate under variable conditions, they have to develop elaborate means of communication to meet the challenges to which they are exposed. In bacteria, a range of biological functions have recently been found to be regulated by a population density-dependent cell-cell signaling mechanism known as quorum-sensing (QS). In other words, bacterial cells sense population density by monitoring the presence of self-produced extracellular autoinducers (AI). N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-dependent quorum-sensing was first discovered in two luminescent marine bacteria, Vibrio fischeri and Vibrio harveyi. The LuxI/R system of V. fischeriis the paradigm of Gram-negative quorum-sensing systems. At high population density, the accumulated signalstrigger the expression of target genes and thereby initiate a new set of biological activities. Several QS systems have been identified so far. Among them, an AHL-dependent QS system has been found to control biofilm formation in several bacterial species, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, Burkholderia cepacia, and Serratia liquefaciens. Bacterial biofilm is a structured community of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix that adheres to an inert or living surface. Extracellular signal molecules have been implicated in biofilm formation. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain NT1(traR, tra::lacZ749) and Chromobacterium violaceum strain CV026 are used as biosensors to detect AHL signals. Quorum sensing in lactic acid bacteria involves peptides that are directly sensed by membrane-located histidine kinases, after which the signal is transmitted to an intracellular regulator. In the nisin autoregulation process in Lactococcus lactis, the NisK protein acts as the sensor for nisin, and NisR protein as the response regulator activatingthe transcription of target genes. For control over growth and survival in bacterial communities, various strategies need to be developed by which receptors of the signal molecules are interfered with or the synthesis and release of the molecules is controlled. However, much is still unknown about the metabolic processes involved in such signal transduction and whether or not various foods and food ingredients may affect communication between spoilage or pathogenic bacteria. In five to ten years, we will be able to discover new signal molecules, some of which may have applications in food preservation to inhibit the growth of pathogens on foods.

  • Objectives This study sets out to examine treatment experiences of child patients with night crying based on the traditional Korean medicine. Also, the study traces the process in which clients chose traditional Korean medicine treatment, and proposes a possible future direction of Korean medicine treatment. Methods The investigator conducted a semi-standardized open-ended question interview with two main fosterers of a child who received traditional Korean medicine treatment for night crying, and examined two fosterers' experiences of a child with the traditional Korean medicine treatment. Their interviews were recorded with their facial expressions and acts for analysis. Collected data was analyzed based on the Grounded theory. Results The participants felt a sense of responsibility, worry, and fear for their children with night crying. They had easy access to traditional Korean medicine doctors who were in the community and had positive experiences with traditional Korean medicine treatment. They reported that some people had been forced to use traditional Korean medicine, had misunderstandings about traditional Korean medicine, and had prejudice that night crying is not a disease. They felt there was a room for improvement in terms of the high medical expenses and the absence of a cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine. Conclusions As the first qualitative study on night crying based on the traditional Korean medicine treatment, this study proposed a future direction for traditional Korean medicine treatment for night crying in the shoes of fosterers. The findings showed that the fosterers chose traditional Korean medicine treatment for night crying child based on their feelings, accessibility and experiences with traditional Korean medicine. Fosterers felt a need for improvement of the general public's perceptions about Korean medicine treatment on night crying, and a cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine.

  • Finding aids는 미국 및 서구 기록보존소에서 기록물에 대한 기술(記述)을 수록하고 있는 일종의 기록물로의 접근 도구이다. 일반 도서와는 달리, 기록물은 record groups 혹은 series로 다루어 지고 있으며, 각 그룹이나 시리즈마다 문서 생산 기관의 역사 및 기록물들의 생산유래, 목적, 결과 등이 기입되어 있는 기록물에 대한 광범한 정보가 실리는 도구이다. 도서로 치면 일종의 목록이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 국내에서는 아직 생소한 이 finding aids의 개념을 북미에서 출판된 문헌과 기록보존소들의 실무를 통하여 구명해 보고자 한다. Finding aids는 초기 기록보존학이 미국내 성립되던 1950~60년대의 통합적이고 생산기관의 출처주의에서 크게 벗어나지 못한 상태의 개괄적인 개념에서, 80년대의 정보 기술의 한 도구로서의 좁은 의미를 지나, 90년대 들어서서는 이용자들의 접근 수단으로까지 발전해왔음이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 기본적인 개념의 인식은 기록보존가들이 이용자들에게 더욱 적극적인 정보제공을 할 수 있는 이론적이고 실무적인 기반을 마련해 주는 작업이고, 이를 바탕으로 더 나은 수준의 finding aids와 기록보존소의 유용성을 높이는 계기가 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • In the situation of rapid industrialization based on the lopsided development of economy since 1960, Korean rural society has faced a crisis of disruption. As a result, the civilian government has tried a few actions to change the circumstance. However, it is said that the coral polices were not satisfactory. Those who were concerned with the rural problems of these days argue that it is necessary to adopt new policies and further to change the policymakers` philosophies concerning the matter. The arguments are certainly based on the beliefs that the sound policies come from the sound philosophies. This study aims to analyze the existing rural polices and their policymakers` philosophies and to design of a new paradigm. For the purpose, this study was set there specific objectives: First, to overview the moor points of Quantitative Utilitarianism of Jeremy Bentham and the Social Justice Theory of John Rawls, the contrasting frameworks of the moral philosophies; Second, to trace the major or trade of the rural policies since 1960s in Korea; Third, to analyze the policymakers` philosophies reflected on the rural policies; Fourth, to design a new paradigm of the rural policies. This study mainly adopted descriptive method based on the various source of government and non-government statistics, white papers and other researches. The major findings of this study may be summarized as follows: 1. The historical epochs of the rural policies in Korea was divided into the periods: (1) An organizational and institutional establishment for self-reliance of main crops and the New Village Movement $(1969{\sim}70)$; (2) An initiation of `open-door` policies to the foreign farm products $(1970{\sim}80)$; (3) Completion of the UR meetings and the recommendations of the Rural and Fishery Development Commission (1980-present). 2. It was found that the philosophical foundations of coral policies were directly reflected from the utilitarianism of the national development. Under the philosophy it was the modem sector of economy that was to spearhead the national development, and the rural sector was situated to the peripheral position and hardly in the spot-light. Therefore, it may be said that the present situation of the rural society was largely rooted in the model of economic development. 3. As a new direction of the coral policies, many studies were focussing on the NTC (non-trade concerns) functions of agriculture for the present and future society. The researchers argue that the cost of protecting and supporting agriculture and rural society may be higher than that of the burden which the nation should be bear in the case of failure of agriculture. Although it tray be true, however, it should be noted that the argument is another type of utilitarianism which prevailed in the past. As a philosophy of rural policies, utilitarianism is straight forward and persuasive, however, it has also limitations in terms of relativism in broad sense or social justice in specific manna. 4. This study suggests to set the philosophical foundations of rural policies on the basis of Rawl`s Theory of Justice mentioned earlier. It emphasizes the inviolability of social justice which was neglected for the national benefits timing the period of development dictatorship in 1960s and 1970s. The principles of social justice for coral people were identified as twofold; (1) The principle of the t equal liberty; (2) (a) Difference principle, (b) The principle of fair equality of opportunity.

  • 이 논문은 이주노동자의 일터와 생활공간에 초점을 두고, 이들이 겪는 다양한 유형의 (시)공간적 제약과 이를 극복하기 위한 방안의 모색에 대해 설문 조사 및 심층 면접 자료에 기초하여 고찰하였다. 이들은 일터에 대해 가시적으로 긍정적 태도를 보이고 있지만, 이는 실질적인 것이라기보다는 가식적(허구적)인 것으로 해석된다. 즉 이들은 타자의 '영역'으로 만들어진 일터 속에서 장시간 노동과 엄격한 통제 하에서 일하도록 강제되고 있다. 또한 주거, 소비, 여가 등을 위한 생활공간에서도 생존을 위한 기본적 이동성은 어느 정도 확보되는 것처럼 보이지만, 중층적 제약들로 인해 뿌리내리기 어려운 장소에서 매우 어렵게 살아간다. 일터와 생활공간에서 겪게 되는 제약들을 벗어나기 위하여, 이주노동자들은 주로 본국 출신의 이주자들과 국지적 및 탈지역적 네트워크, 그리고 본국 가족 및 친지들과의 초국가적 네트워크를 구성하고, 이를 통해 주어진 제약들에 대응하거나 해소할 수 있는 방안들을 모색하게 된다. 이러한 노력은 이주노동자들의 삶의 시공간적 제약들을 벗어나도록 하기에는 한계를 가진다. 특히 이러한 한계는 이주노동자들에게 포괄적 의미의 지리적 지식(장소감과 지리적 상상력 포함)의 부족으로 심화된다. 이들은 결국 본국과 한국에 대한 혼종적 국가정체성뿐만 아니라 새롭고 낯선 삶의 현장에서 교란된 지역정체성으로 살아간다.

  • 본 연구는 조선시대 풍속화를 분석하여 당대의 정원이 어떻게 활용되었는가를 추적해 보는 연구이다. 정원의 다양한 의미 중 감각적 즐거움의 장으로서 의미에 초점을 맞춘다. 이를 위해 서구의 감각적 즐거움과 비교되는 동아시아의 미학적 특질인 풍류 개념을 활용한다. 풍류의 개념은 감각적 즐거움을 넘어 정신적 희열로서 인간이 자연과 존재론적으로 조우하는 차원의 의미를 내포한다. 정원에서의 활동을 살펴보기 위해서 일상생활을 포착한 조선시대의 풍속화를 대상으로 하였다. 정원의 경계가 명확하고 구체적인 공간이용행태를 보이는 풍속화로 13점을 선정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 특징이 파악되었다. 첫째, 정원은 자연과의 합일을 통한 커뮤니케이션의 장이라는 점이다. 이 자연과의 합일은 사람과의 합일, 예술과의 합일을 촉발하며 공동체의 커뮤니케이션 작용을 가능하게 한다. 둘째, 정원은 문화 창작 공간이라는 점이 확인되었다. 정원은 사람들이 모여 시회를 하는 등 시적인 상상력을 촉진시키는 장소이다. 셋째, 정원은 내면 성찰을 위한 명상의 장이라는 점이다. 이러한 개인적 차원의 풍류가 존재하므로 소박하거나 일상적인 정원도 가치를 가지게 된다. 넷째, 정원은 취향, 권력, 인맥 등 드러내기의 장이라는 점이다. 풍류는 특정 계층에 의하여 추구되는 경향이 있기에, 이러한 계층적 특성이 정원문화에서도 나타난다. 정원과 관련된 풍류문화 역시 개인적인 사색적 풍류에서 유희적 풍류에 이르기까지 다양한 층위가 존재함이 확인되었다. 서구의 자연관이나 문화를 답습하기보다는 우리 선조들이 향유하였던 풍류문화를 현대적으로 재해석하고 보다 일상적이며 친숙하게 번안하는 시도가 요구된다.

  • Objective: This study was conducted to describe physical therapists' attitudes and beliefs towards Korean Government's National Long Term Care Insurance Program implemented last July 2008. Design: A survey research. Methodology: Participants were 143 physical therapists working in General Hospitals or University Hospitals in Busan, Korea. Each of the participants completed a questionnaire which was comprised of 22 questions. Among the 22 questions, 7 of these were independent variables such as gender, age, career, etc. while 15 of these questions were dependent variables such as the subject's expectations and reactions on the said program, opinions of the participants on the impact of the program to old people's families and relatives, participant's sentiments on social effects of this program to the society, etc. Data collection was conducted from the $20^{th}$ of July to the $5^{th}$ of August, 2008. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test, frequency and cross tabs using SPSS/PC program. Results: Based on the survey conducted, it showed that 50.3% were female respondents, 53.8% were on their twenties, 31.5% of the total respondents were married and that a percentage of 82.4% had working experiences below 10 years. About 80.4% of respondents were satisfied of their jobs and 32.4%of the respondents graduated from three - year college degree, 49.3% of the respondents graduated from four-year college degree. 95.1% of the total respondents knew the existence of the national long term care insurance program of the government and almost 78% got the information of the said program via internet, news paper or T.V. About 86% of the respondents believe that there will be future improvements in the quality of life in Korea through the said program and 82% said that there will be an increase sense of responsibility among family members to take care of their old relatives. 67.2 % of respondents believe that problems regarding old people will be solved through the government's national long term care insurance program. In aspect of Physical Therapy, 50% of the respondents expected generation of more jobs especially to physical therapists and 95% of the respondents want to work in any position in the said program especially those are more experienced ones. Conclusion: Physical Therapists in Korea are aware of the existence of the National Long Term Care Insurance Program of the Korean Government. Based on the gathered results from the survey, many experienced physical therapists of the country wanted to acquire positions in the said program especially that their expertise are needed in the said field. Through this study, it is evident that many physical therapists of the country have positive vibes on the said program and are optimistic on the outcomes of the said insurance program.

  • Biochar amendment to agricultural soil is regarded as a promising option to mitigate climate change and enhance soil quality. It could sequester more carbon within the soil system and increase plant yield by changing soil physicochemical characteristics. However, sustainable use of biochar requires comprehensive environmental assessment. In this sense, it is important to measure additional greenhouse gas emission from soils after biochar addition. We investigated emissions of $CO_2$, $N_2O$, and $CH_4$ from incubated soils collected from rice paddy and cultivated grassland after amendment of 3% biochar (wt.) produced from rice chaff. During incubation, soils were exposed to three wet-dry cycles ranging from 5~85% soil gravimetric water content (WC) to investigate the changes in effect of biochar when influenced by different water levels. The $CO_2$ emission was reduced in biochar treatment compared to the control at WC of 30~70% both in rice paddy and grassland soils. This indicates that biochar could function as a stabilizer for soil organic carbon and it can be effective in carbon sequestration. The $N_2O$ emission was also reduced from the grassland soil treated with biochar when WC was greater than 30% because the biochar treated soils had lower denitrification due to better aeration. In the rice paddy soil, biochar addition resulted in decrease in $N_2O$ emission when WC was greater than 70%, while an increase was noted when WC was between 30~70%. This increase might be related to the fact that available nutrients on biochar surface stimulated existing nitrifying bacterial community, resulting in higher $N_2O$ emission. Overall results imply that biochar amendment to agricultural soil can stabilize soil carbon from fast decomposition although attention should be paid to additional $N_2O$ emission when biochar addition is combined with the application of nitrogen fertilizer.
