  • Weedy rice (Oryza sativa L.) occurred sympatrically with other weeds and the rice crop in Malaysian rice granaries. We conducted field surveys in 2006-2008 seasons in 7 farm blocks of Selangor's North West Project, Malaysia to enlist the new biotypes of weedy rice (NBWR) and assess their spatio-temporal pattern of distribution based on quantitative and dispersion indices. No less than 16 accessions of NBWR were identified based on their special traits, viz. panicle type, pericarp colour, presence or absence of awn, seed type and degree of grain shattering. The NBWR accessions exhibited a combination of morphological traits from open panicle, grain with awns, red pericarp, short grain type, and degrees of grain shattering. Others mimic commercial rices with close panicle, awnless grains, white pericarp, long or short grain-type. Invariably, the NBWRs mimic and stand as tall as cultivated rice namely MR219, MR220, or MR235 and these NBWR accessions stand among equals morphologically vis-a-vis the commercial rice varieties. Most accessions displayed varying degrees of grain shattering in excess of 50%, except Acc9 and Acc12. The seasonal dynamics of on the prevalence of dominant NBWR accessions were also displaying significant differences among farm blocks. While Bagan Terap farm block, for example, did not record any measurable changes in the dominant NBWR accessions over seasons, the Sungai Leman farm block recorded measurable season-mediated changes in the dominant NBWR accessions. Sungai Leman started with NBWR Acc3, Acc4, Acc5, Acc7, Acc8, and Acc12 in season 1 of 2006/2007, but no measurable records of Acc3 and Acc5 were shown in season 2 of 2007. In season 3 of 2007/2008, only Acc8 and Acc12 prevailed in the farm block. In Sawah Sempadan farm block, season 3 of 2007/2008 showed much reduced prevalence of NBWRs leaving only Acc8 and Acc12. Most accessions registered clump or under-dispersed spatial distribution pattern based on quantitative indices: variance-to-mean ratio (VMR) and Lloyd's patchiness values. The dynamics on the extent of infestation and prevalence of dominant NBWR accessions registered both season- and farm-block mediated differences. Most accessions showed VMR >1 thus indicative of having a clump or clustered spatial distribution, as exemplified by Acc3, Acc4, Acc7, Acc8 and Acc12 in all farm blocks throughout three seasons. Some accessions have either random or uniform distribution in a few farm blocks. The Acc8 has the highest population counts based on important value index, followed by Acc12, and both were the most dominant accession while Sawah Sempadan was the worst farm block infested by NBWR compared to other farm blocks. These results were discussed in relation with the current agronomic and weed management practices, water availability and extension services in the granary.

  • Acute poisoning is one of the diseases which need the most fastest emergency measures at the very beginning. However, at present, The Korea doesn't manage the toxication all over the country, and in particular, there is no guide to medical cure paying due regard to the traits of each area. This paper focused on the issue that the necessary data in preparing the facilities for the treatment of the poisoned patients and materials for medical treatment including antidote would have to be collected, after finding the special features of the symptoms by searching the present conditions of the poisoning in small towns next to farm villages in the North area of Youngseo, Kangwon province. This study was based on the questionnaires from 111 patients who were carried into the emergency room by the poisoning in two university hospitals of the North area of Youngseo, Kangwon, for one year, 2002. Upon investigation, the patients(111) visiting emergency room by the acute poisoning during the research period was found to be 0.37 percent of all patients(30,085) visiting emergency room. Among them, the most high percentage was given in their twenties and thirties at the rate of $39.6\%$, and the ratio($40.5\%$) of the poisoned patients after their fifties was much higher than a research($10\%$) of other areas. Many poisoned patients came to their rescue in an emergency room generally in spring and in winter, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Agricultural chemical of the toxic materials had a majority at a ratio of $57.7\%$, and paraquat of the agricultural chemicals was found to have a lot of toxicity by $31.7\%$. As the trace of the toxication, the oral poisoning was common by $89.2\%$, and $55.9\%$ in the case of operating gastric lavage and nasogastric irrigation, but only $14.4\%$ for prescribing antidote. The mortality of the acute poisoned patients was $17.2\%$, and the toxication by paraquat held a majority. As a result, the acute poisoning of the North area in Youngseo, Kangwon had both of the characteristics of the rural and the city, and the patients over their fifties by the population aging had more attack of the disease than other regions. Also, with the high ratio of the toxication by the agricultural chemicals, especially, the lethal agricultural chemical was used frequently. Therefore, these dangerous situations need to find the ways to cope with.

  • 마디풀과의 물여뀌 종집단(Polygonum amphibium L. complex)은 육상 및 수중 환경 모두에 서식할 수 있는 분류군으로, 서식 환경에 따라 다양한 형태 변이를 나타내어 현재까지 많은 분류군들이 기재되어 왔다. 아시아 및 북미산 107개체로부터 측정한 11개 형태형질을 사용하여 주성분분석을 수행한 결과, 본 종집단에서 존재하는 수생형 및 육생형 개체들은 모든 지역집단에서 잎의 형태 및 크기, 엽병의 길이 등에 의해 서로 구분되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 동일 개체군 또는 동일 지역내에서 채집된 수생형과 육생형 개체들은 엽록체 DNA 4개 구간(matK, psbA-trnH IGS, rbcL-accD IGS, trnL-trnF)에서 완전히 동일한 염기서열을 공유하는 것으로 밝혀져 유전적으로는 분기되지 않은 것으로 추정되며, 따라서 본 종집단에서 나타나는 생육형간의 형태적 차이는 서식지 환경에 따른 개체 변이인 것으로 판단된다. 형태분석 및 엽록체 4구간 염기서열 유합자료의 계통분석 결과, 한국, 일본, 중국, 몽골, 극동 러시아 지역 등에 분포하는 아시아산 개체들은 북미지역집단 개체들 및 유럽의 영국산 개체와 형태적, 유전적으로 뚜렷이 구분되는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 따라서 한반도산 개체들을 포함하는 아시아 지역집단 개체들은 P. amphibium의 하나의 변종(P. amphibium var. amurense Korsh.)으로 인식하는 것이 타당한 것으로 판단된다.

  • 북한에 의한 위협이 증대되고 있는 엄중한 안보 상황에서 우리 군은 첨단기술을 활용한 GOP 과학화 경계시스템의 성능개량 사업을 통해 병력 절감 효과를 추구하고 있다. GOP 과학화 경계시스템이 인구절벽에 따른 병역자원 감소에 대한 효과적인 대안이 되기 위해서는 높은 탐지 및 식별률이 보장되어야 하고, 오탐율을 획기적으로 개선함으로써 병력의 개입이 최소화되어야 한다. 그런데, 현(現) GOP 과학화 경계시스템의 경우 양호한 기상환경에서는 비교적 높은 탐지 및 식별률을 보장하지만, 강우 및 안개 등의 악천후 상황에서의 성능은 다소 부족한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이를 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 악천후 시에도 물체를 탐지할 수 있는 레이더 기반 경계시스템이 하나의 대안으로 제시되고 있는데, 본 논문은 2021년 신속시범획득사업을 통해00사단에서 운용 중인 레이더 기반 AI 과학화 경계시스템의 악천후 상황에서의 효과성을 검증하고 이를 통해 향후 GOP 과학화 경계시스템의 발전 방향을 제시한다.

  • 본 연구는 환경부의 멸종위기 야생생물의 지정이 지역 적색목록 방법을 올바르게 적용하였는지 보고서 내용을 전반적으로 검토하였다. IUCN의 지역 적색 평가에서는 평가 항목중 적용불가(NA)라는 범주가 존재한다. 해당 범주를 통해 전세계나 동아시아 전체에 매우 넓게 분포하는 종은 평가에서 제외하도록 명시하고 있다. 환경부에서 제시한 평가 결과물중 관속식물 377종이 언급되는데 이중 238종(63.1%)이 적용불가(NA)에 해당되며 일부는 분류학적 실체에 대한 논란의 여지가 되는 분류군(waiting)으로 13종(3.4%)이 확인된다. 환경부의 지역평가에 포함된 목록중 전 세계 평가 대상이 되는 소위 '진정 멸종위기' 분류군은 21종(9.3%)으로 매우 적었으며 앞으로 지역평가 시도가 가능한 분류군은 103종(27.3%)로 확인된다. 환경부의 멸종위기 야생생물인 관속식물 전체 목록중 66.6%는 지역 적색 평가로 부적절하거나 유보된다. 환경부의 종 목록과 평가의 문제점은 집단이 사라지는 '절멸'과 종이 사라지는 '멸종'의 용어상의 오용과 지역 적색평가의 그릇된 해석으로 혼란을 자초하고 있어 실제 IUCN의 지역 평가기준을 준용했다고 볼 수 없으며, 환경부에서 제시한 평가 조사방법도 적색목록을 평가하기 위한 자료 수집 방법론으로 보기가 어렵다. 지역 적색이라는 평가도 남한이라는 좁은 국가적 시각보다는 분포와 생물상을 고려하여 한반도와 접경지역인 러시아, 중국 대륙, 그리고 일본, 대만의 자료도 적극 수용한 새로운 '지역'의 개념 도입이 필요하다. 환경부의 올바른 지역 적색 평가를 위해서는 정확한 학명을 사용함과 동시에 주관적 잣대가 아닌 IUCN 지역 적색의 기준을 사용할 필요가 있다.

  • This study aimed at developing a desirable family planning policy and strategy by examining the current status of family planning practice in rural Korea and by indentifying the crucial factors which affect fertility control behavior. For this purpose, an analytical study was conducted, using the survey data collected in July 1985, on an interview basis, on 1, 440 married women living in the Soyi, Wonnam and Maingdong townships of Eumseong County(in North Chungcheong Province). This study population has the typical characteristics of rural areas, and the results of the analysis can be summarized as follows: 1. In regard to the demographic characteristics of the study population : their average age at marriage was 23.7, they had an average of 2.6 children( 1.3 boys, 1.3 girls) :10% experienced the death of their child (ren) :14% had spontaneous abortion(s) :4% weathered stillbirth(s) :35% went through induced abortion (s) : and 5.5% were currently pregnant. The average of their ideal numbers of children was 2.2, while 44% felt that they must have a son. 2. Looking at the contact rate with medical & health institutions, over the past 1 year, the visit rate to health subcenters was 43.7%, while 26.9% visited the (county) health center :59.6% had been to private clinics : and 41.5% went to the Soonchunhyang - Eumsung hospital : thus showing a relatively high rate of accessibility. 3. The utilization rate of family planning services was 76.5%, with tubectomy being the most prominent method at 52.3%, while the informants were health workers in 54.2% of the acceptors. Of the 8.4% who discontinued the use of contraceptive methods, only 26% did so due to want for pregnancy, natural infertility (meno - pause), or other reasons, while the remaining 74% stopped usage on account of side effects, failure in the methods themselves, and inconvenience of use, thus pointing to a situation where the proper choice of family planning methods have not yet been made. It can be noted that there is a strong motivation for early birth stopping as 35.3% practice family planning even with only one child, of which 38.3% have had sterilization operations. According to results of a multiple regression analysis, among the variables affecting contraception usage the most significant variable was the number of sons. 4. 34.8% experienced induced abortions. It was shown as a result of multiple regression analysis that the number of children and attitudes toward induced abortions extensively affected their frequency of abortions conducted. 5. In the regard to the relation between family planning and induced abortions, 33.7% of the women used both, while 52.0% of them used only the former(family planning), with only 1.4 % utilizing solely the latter(abortion), and 12.9% totally abstaining from fertility regulation : again, the discriminant analysis indicated that the choice of family planning and/or induced abortion was determined by the number of children and attitudes toward induced abortion. In view of the above mentioned results, the following are some comments and suggestions concerning problems related to the current family planning policies, in Korea : 1. It is difficult to expect a further quantitative expansion in family planning program operations, as there has been an excessive supply of target-oriented sterilization operations on women. From a maternal and child health care point of view, it will be desirable to have a diversification of service points in the future where family planning methods may be properly chosen, so that choices of methods which suit the mothers' characteristics and tastes may be made by the individuals themselves by strengthening their quality of family planning information services. 2. Along with the strengthening of the qualitative improvement of family planning services policies must be implemented to effectively promote the moral (ethical) deterrents to induced abortions and to preference for sons. From a maternal care standpoint, the social permissive norm toward induced abortion must be modified, and the bias towards son must be analyzed as the women with more daughters have a lower rate of family planning acceptance. Such changes in attitudes, however, can not be hoped to be accomplished with ad hoc policies, but will only be possible when an enhancement of the women's status(within the society) is brought about in a long - term perspective.

  • A participatory approach of local stakeholders is important to create a balance between nature protection and the sustainable use of natural resources in a nature reserve and its vicinity area. The zoning and management policy of biosphere reserves (BRs) is a good example of this idea, especially for island reserves. Yakushima was inscribed as a World Natural Heritage (WH) in 1993. Almost all of its residents did not remember that Yakushima was a BR. In addition, Yakushima has some problems in nature reserve management. Overabundance of the deer population is a critical threat to both agriculture and natural vegetation in the world heritage site. There are too many tourists visiting the WH site and Nagata-hama beach. The beach is a Ramsar site and one of the most important spawning grounds of sea turtles in the north Pacific. Now, residents and the municipality have decided to reactivate the Yakushima BR. Although the Ministry of the Environment of Japan has an initiative to manage the WH and the Ramsar site, the BR is managed by the municipality and local stakeholders. Local activities of both nature conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources are encouraged in the BR site. The islanders willingly included all areas of the island into the BR site. Scientists who have participated in the Society of Yakushimaology have played a significant role to build trust between local stakeholders and to seek feasible policies on the nature reserves. The concept of the "Yakushima Environmental Culture Village" is a good model for the extension plan of the Yakushima and Kuchinoerabujima BRs.

  • S. Korean Government has accelerating its efforts to enhance the quality of the drinking water. The Ministry of Environment has declared the law of securing water-pollutant buffering zone to minimize the inflow of the point and nonpoint sources into the drinking water sources. As a first phase of installing nationa-wide water-pollutant buffering zone, approximately 300km buffering zone has been delineated along the South and North Han river, the major drinking water sources for the capital area of S. Korea, which has the population of more than 12 millions. The buffering zone has the width of 1,000 meter for the special protection area, and 500 meter for the remaining area from both ends of the river. The major works have been done in three stages. Firstly, the boundaries lines of the buffering zone was delineated on the digital topographic maps. Secondly, the maps were overlayed with the cadastral maps to identify individual land parcels, the street address of the major pollutant discharging facilities, and all different types of pollutants including livestocks. Thirdly, the field work has been done as a verification. Once the buffering zone was generated, all the information for the buffering gone were created or imported from other government agencies including official land price, details of the major manufacturing facilities discharging considerable amount of pollutants, major motels and resorts, not to mention of restaurants, etc. Also, major livestock houses were located to identify the path of the pollutant inflow to the drinking water source. Further works need to be continued such as purchasing private lands within the buffering zone and change the land use in the efforts to decrease the pollutant amount and to provide more environmentally friendly space. Also, high resolution satellite imagery should be utilized in the near future as a cost-effective data source to update all the landuse activities within buffering zone.

  • Background: Online teaching and learning extend the duration of using gadgets such as mobile phones and tablets. A prolonged usage of these gadgets in a static position can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Therefore, this study aims to identify the risk factors related to musculoskeletal symptoms while using gadgets during work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A cross-sectional survey with online-based questionnaires was collected from the University of Indonesia, consisting of lecturers, students, and managerial staff. The minimum number of respondents was 1,080 and was defined by stratified random sampling. Furthermore, the dependent variable was musculoskeletal symptoms, while the independent were age, gender, job position, duration, activity when using gadgets, and how to hold them. Result: Most of the respondents had mobile phones but only 16% had tablets. Furthermore, about 56.7% have used a mobile phone for more than 10 years, while about 89.7% have used a tablet for less than 10 years. A multivariate analysis found factors that were significantly associated with MSD symptoms while using a mobile phone, such as age, gender, web browsing activity, work, or college activities. These activities include doing assignments and holding the phone with two hands with two thumbs actively operating. The factors that were significantly associated with MSD symptoms when using tablets were gender, academic position, social media activity, and placing the tablet on a table with two actively working index fingers. Conclusion: Therefore, from the results of this study it is necessary to have WFH and e-learning policies to reduce MSD symptoms and enhance productivity at work.
