Magnaporthe oryzae is a causal pathogen of the rice blast, the most destructive disease of rice worldwide. This ascomycete fungus has been intensively studied as a model organism in plant-pathogen interactions. Recently, the genome sequence of M. oryzae 70-15 was published by International Rice Blast Consortium. This led us to investigate comparative and functional analysis of this pathogen at genome-wide level. As a first step, sequencing project of M. oryzae Korean strain KJ201 was launched to face practical interests on diversity of plant pathogens. We constructed a fosmid library with a copy number controllable pCC1 vector. Over 13,000 end reads from 6637 fosmid clones were generated and anchored on genome sequence of the strain 70-15. Currently, 9,793 end reads, in which 2.684, clones with both ends and 1,757 clones with on end matched, are aligned to the sequence of strain 70-15. In the next step, shotgun sequencing of fosmid clones was conducted for fine scale comparative analysis of chromosome 7 that is well defined in genome sequencing of 70-15. Totally 119 fosmid clones were pooled in region and analyzed. For reasonable intra-species comparison in genome of M. oryzae, two strains, KJ201 and Guy11, were chosen for whole genome shotgun sequencing analysis with GS454 FLX system. About 8X genome coverage sequences were obtained for each strain and being merged for comparative analysis. Genome information of other strains is being also available from China and Japanese research groups and could be joined together for extended comparative analysis and the results give more detail in genome diversity in species level.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the subjective level of health-related quality of life of Korean healthcare workers using various quality-of-life instruments. Methods: This study included 992 participants, who were doctors and nurses. A survey was conducted between November 28 and December 4, 2019. Data from 954 participants divided into 3 groups (physicians, residents, and nurses) were analyzed. Four measurement tools (29 questions) were used in the survey to evaluate subjective health status and well-being. Results: In the Mayo Well-being Index, burnout during work (88.5%) and emotional difficulties caused by work (84.0%) were frequently cited by the respondents. Regarding questions on burnout and emotional difficulties, residents and nurses had the highest scores (91.0 and 89.6%, respectively). Emotional problems, such as anxiety, depression, and irritability, accounted for a high percentage (73.1%) of the total, while 82.2% of respondents reported that their work schedules interfered with their leisure and family time. There was no significant difference among the groups in subjective health status. However, 10.1% of the residents experienced very low quality of life, which was a higher proportion than that of physicians (2.7%) and nurses (5.2%). Conclusions: The level of well-being that Korean medical workers experienced in relation to work was lower than the results of the United States healthcare workers surveyed using the same tool. This study was unique in that it conducted a subjective quality-of-life survey on Korean healthcare workers.

OBJECTIVES To efficiently utilize limited health and medical resources, it is necessary to accurately measure the level of health, which requires estimating the multimorbidity-corrected burden of disease. METHODS This study used 2015 and 2016 data from the National Health Insurance Service, and employed the list of diseases defined in a Korean study of the burden of disease, the criteria for prevalence, and the “cause–sequelae–health state” disease system. When calculating the years lost to disability (YLD), multimorbidity was corrected using Monte-Carlo simulation. RESULTS Correcting for multimorbidity changed YLD at all ages in Korea by -1.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], -24.1 to 3.6) in males and -12.4% (95% CI, -23.0 to 0.3) in females in 2015, and by -10.8% (95% CI, -24.1 to 4.6) in males and -11.1% (95% CI, -22.8 to 1.7) in females in 2016. The YLD rate for non-communicable diseases in males decreased more than that of other disease groups in both years, by -11.8% (95% CI, -19.5 to 3.6) and -11.5% (95% CI, -19.3 to -3.0), respectively. The overall YLD rate changed by -1.3% in the 5-year to 9-year age group, and the magnitude of this change remained similar until the 10-19-year age group, gradually decreased after 20 years of age, and steeply increased to more than 10% in those aged 60 and older. CONCLUSIONS Calculations of YLD should adjust for multimorbidity, as the disease burden can otherwise be overestimated for the elderly, who tend to exhibit a high prevalence of multimorbidity.

Park, Myung Soo,Yoo, Shinnam,Cho, Yoonhee,Park, Ki Hyeong,Kim, Nam Kyu,Lee, Hyi-Seung,Lim, Young Woon The Korean Society of Mycology 2021 韓國菌學會誌 Vol.49 No.6

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is an island country in the western Pacific and is a known biodiversity hotspot. However, a relatively small number of fungi (236 species) have been reported till July 2021. Since fungi play major ecological roles in ecosystems, we investigated the fungal diversity of FSM from various sources over 2016 and 2017 and constructed a local fungal inventory, which also included the previously reported species. Fruiting bodies were collected from various host trees and fungal strains were isolated from marine and terrestrial environments. A total of 99 species, of which 78 were newly reported in the FSM, were identified at the species level using a combination of molecular and morphological approaches. Many fungal species were specific to the environment, host, or source. Upon construction of the fungal inventory, 314 species were confirmed to reside in the FSM. This inventory will serve as an important basis for monitoring fungal diversity and identifying novel biological resources in FSM.

Mycorrhizal fungi are key components of forest ecosystems and play essential roles in host health. The host specificity of mycorrhizal fungi is variable and the mycorrhizal fungi composition for the dominant tree species is largely known but remains unknown for the less common tree species. In this study, we collected soil samples from the roots of six understudied ectomycorrhizal tree species from a preserved natural park in the Republic of Korea over four seasons to investigate the host specificity of mycorrhizal fungi in multiple tree species, considering the abiotic factors. We evaluated the mycorrhizal fungal composition in each tree species using a metabarcoding approach. Our results revealed that each host tree species harbored unique mycorrhizal communities, despite close localization. Most mycorrhizal taxa belonged to ectomycorrhizal fungi, but a small proportion of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were also detected. While common mycorrhizal fungi were shared between the plant species at the genus or higher taxonomic level, we found high host specificity at the species/OTU (operational taxonomic unit) level. Moreover, the effects of the seasons and soil properties on the mycorrhizal communities differed by tree species. Our results indicate that mycorrhizal fungi feature host-specificity at lower taxonomic levels.

박윤희(Yoonhee Park),기영화(Youngwha Kee) 중앙대학교 한국인적자원개발전략연구소 2010 역량개발학습연구 Vol.5 No.2

본 연구는 향후 확산이 기대되는 커리어코칭을 중심으로 현장에서 성공적으로 진행되었던 커리어코칭 전개 과정에 대해 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 진행하였다. 연구 참여자로 실제 커리어코칭을 진행했던 코치 6명과 그 상대방인 피코치 6명, 총 12명을 선정하였고 연구방법은 질적 연구 중 근거이론 방법을 적용하였다. 연구 결과를 통해 커리어코칭 전개 과정은 '도움의 필요성 인식' 단계, '하나되기 시작' 단계, '삶의 반추를 통한 자기인식' 단계, '자기주도적 커리어 정립' 단계, '상호 협력적 성장' 단계 그리고 '커리어코칭의 일상화' 단계로 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 커리어코칭 전개 과정을 통해 커리어코칭은 기존의 연구자들이 언급한 '상호작용 과정', '돕는 것' 그 이상의 하나되기를 요구하는 과정이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 커리어코칭 전개 과정에서 코치와 피코치는 자기개발의 필요성을 인식하게 되고 커리어코칭 종료 후에도 자기개발과 학습을 통한 성장을 계속하였다. 따라서 커리어코칭은 한 번의 과정으로 끝나기보다는 개인이 일과 삶 사이에 균형을 이루고 지속적 성장이 가능하도록 평생에 걸쳐 반복적으로 진행될 수 있는 개인의 성장과정이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. As career coaching will be prevalent in the future, this study examined the actual process of career coaching. Grounded theory method was used to conduct the study and twelve participants (six coaches and six coachees) were selected. The study identified the process of career coaching: 'understanding the need for help' stage; 'beginning of being oneness' stage; 'self-awareness through reflection on one's own life' stage; 'establishment of self-directed career' stage, 'cooperative growth' stage, and; 'routinization of career coaching' stage. The result of the study indicates that 'interaction between the coach and the coachees' or 'giving support' are not enough in the career coaching process. It requires for the coahces and the coachees 'to become as one'. The coaches and coachees are aware of the need of self-development in the career coaching process and maintain the growth through continuous self-development and learning after the career coaching process. Although the career coaching process can be completed for single process, it can be repeated as to be a continuing personal growth process balancing between work and life.

한국 정부는 기업 경쟁력 제고를 위한 주요 경제정책으로 대기업과 중소기업의 상생협력을 강조하고, 동반성장 추진 대책을 발표하여 실행해왔다. 본 연구는 동반성장 추진 대책 발표 이후의 시점에서 대기업과 협력 중소기업 간 교육훈련 협력 추진 현황과 대기업과 중소기업 담당자들의 인식 조사 결과를 제시하고 정책적 함의점을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 수행되었다. 설문조사를 통해 151개의 대기업과 더불어 그들과 협력관계에 있는 401개의 중소기업을 조사하였다. 총 80.1%의 대기업과 68.3%의 중소기업이 교육훈련 협력에 참여하고 있으며, 기업 규모가 클수록 참여가능성이 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 대기업이 중소기업에 비해 교육훈련에 대해 더욱 긍정적인 관점과 인식을 갖고 있었다. 주요 협력 내용은 생산성 증대와 직접적으로 관련 깊은 품질관리와 기술 지원이었으며, 대중소기업의 상호 이익을 위해서도 가장 중요한 것으로 고려되었다. 교육훈련 참여의 주요 장애 요인은 훈련 참여 시간의 부족인 것으로 나타났다. 교육훈련 협력은 상생협력을 지원하기 위한 합의를 달성하고, 건강한 대중소 기업간의 소통 채널을 마련하며, 기업에서 가치를 인정받는 교육훈련 영역의 증대를 위해서도 활용될 수 있다 The Korean government has announced win-win growth policy and been promoting collaboration between large enterprises (LEs) and small & medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study examined the status and perception in education and training (E&T) collaboration between LEs and SMEs in supply chains following the promotion of the win-win growth policy. Particular focus was placed on E&T which is applicable to most of the collaboration domains. A survey method was employed and LEs and SMEs that are partners in their supply chain participated (151 LEs and 401 SMEs). Overall, 80.1% of the LEs and 68.3% of the SMEs were engaged in E&T collaboration. The larger their sizes, the more likely they were to be engaged. The LEs tended to have a more positive perspective and recognition for E&T collaboration than the SMEs. Main contents of collaboration were directly related to enhancing productivity (i.e., quality control and technology support) and they were also considered the most important for LEs and SMEs’ mutual benefits. The major hindrance was ‘a lack of time for training’. E&T collaboration could act as a means to achieve consensus to support win-win collaboration, healthy inter-organizational communication, and expand the domains of E&Ts valued at enterprises.

박윤희(Yoonhee Park) 한국비교교육학회 2012 比較敎育硏究 Vol.22 No.1

본 연구에서는 터키의 직업교육훈련 체제 및 특성을 파악하고, 현재 터키가 직면해 있는 직업교육훈련 과제와 이슈들을 분석하여 우리나라 직업교육훈련 발전을 위해 시사하는 바를 논의하였다. 터키의 교육체계는 크게 ‘형식 교육(formal education)’과 ‘비형식 교육(non-formal education)’으로 구분되며, 이들 교육활동은 교육부(Ministry of National Education)가 담당하고 있다. 형식교육은 학령전 교육, 초등교육, 중등교육, 고등교육의 4개 수준으로 이루어지며, 비형식 교육은 공공교육, 도제훈련, 그리고 원격교육을 통해 시행되고 있다. 그리고 터키의 직업교육훈련은 정규교육 영역에서는 중등교육 단계와 중등교육 이후 단계에서 이루어지며, 정규교육 이외의 영역에서는 비형식 교육 형태로 주로 도제훈련을 통해 실시된다. 또한 최근 터키는 직업교육훈련과 관련하여 인력의 경쟁력강화를 위하여 노동시장의 요구에 부응할 수 있는 양질의 인력을 양성하고, 유럽연합 (EU) 기준에 상응하도록 직업교육훈련 체제를 개혁하였다. 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 터키는 성별 및 지역간 교육격차 문제점 해결, 여학생들의 중등교육참여율 제고 및 중도 탈락률 억제, 직업교육의 활성화, 교육과 노동시장간의 연계성 부족, 직업교육훈련의 질 제고 등의 문제에 직면해 있으며, 이를 해결함으로써 직업교육훈련을 발전시키기 위하여 노력하고 있다. Turkey is receiving a great deal of attention as one of emerging economies due to their growing importance in the world economy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the features and practices of Vocational Education and Training(VET) system and discuss implications for Korean VET. The study describes major features of Turkish VET system, including Turkish education system, the governance system of VET(financial and administrative system of VET), the delivery system of VET(VET institutions), curriculum development, and career guidance. In addition, it discusses major issues Turkey faces with respect to building a national VET system and other human resource issues which are crucial to sustainable growth of this country. Turkey has paid attention to modernize the VET system. However, many issues needed to be solved remain: the gaps among gender and regions, the low enrollment rate and high drop-out rate of girls, a relatively low percentage of student in vocational high schools, the lack of linkage between education and industry, and a low quality of VET. Turkish government tries to solve these problems, thereby improving VET system and practices.

( Carolyn Yoonhee Park ),( Yoonji Ryu ),( Jongho Kim ),( Kihan Kim ) 한국체육학회 2016 국제스포츠과학 학술대회 Vol.2016 No.1

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between program performance assessment and budget allocation of KSPF sponsored programs. From the path dependency point of view, the author anticipates that not the performance rating but the size of program budget and period of program to be significant determinant to next year budget. Thus, this paper attempts to identify following research question: "Does performance rating of sport business programs influence budget allocation?" The hypothesis to this question is that the result of previous year``s program performance rating(good, fair, poor) would not influence on next year``s budget allocation(increase, maintenance, cutback). Method: This study adopts the measures of multivariable regression analysis, in order to capture determinant of program performance rating and to see whether the mark of performance influences next year``s budget size or not. To investigate said relationship, this paper considers the size of the program budget, period of program, beneficiary’s satisfaction, and type of executing agency as determinants of performance rating and budgeting. Result: The results and detailed discussion will be presented at the conference. Conclusion: Overall, this study suggests the importance of relationship between program performance assessment and budget allocation. As the purpose of performance evaluation system is to improve the quality, program feedback system is important. Therefore, it is important to make strong linkage between the result of performance evaluation and program budget.
