RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of high school students' mental health on their academic achievement and school dropout rate by using longitudinal data. METHODS: For this study, 153 high schools were randomly sampled on a nationwide scale. The descriptive data was collected from a school information internet site which is organized by the Korean Ministry of Education. We used the schools' mean scores on the Adolescent Mental Health Problem-Behavior Questionnaire-II (AMPQ-II) scale which was used for estimating students' mental health in the 2013 school-based mental health screening test. The data analysis was conducted by using hierarchical regression analysis. RESULTS: The results of this study showed that the AMPQ-II scale's mean scores have significant effects on the following year's academic achievement and annual dropout rates. Especially, the AMPQ-II scale's mean scores tend to increase the school dropout rate in vocational schools. CONCLUSION: The finding of this study is that Korean high school students' mental health states significantly influence their academic achievement and school dropout rate.

RESUMO

Aims: Cellulases are enzymes that convert cellulose into glucose molecules, and are produced by various microorganisms in the environment. Due to their importance to the biofuel industry, there is a need to screen for more efficient varieties of cellulases. In this study, leachate samples from a landfill site were screened for cellulolytic bacteria. Methodology and results: Leachate samples obtained from a landfill collection pond were cultured in an enriched cellulose medium. Two cellulolytic isolates, designated MAEPY1 and MAEPY2, were isolated and further characterized. Phenotypic profiles and phylogenetic analyses using sequences of 16S rRNA, gyrB and whole genome suggested that these isolates are new strains of the Paenibacillus genera. The crude enzyme extracts from both isolates have cellulose degradation activity at approximately 0.1-0.2 IU/mg under working conditions of pH 6 and 55 °C. Assays using other lignocellulosic substrates showed that the crude enzyme extracts also have high xylan degradation activity. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Paenibacillus sp. are known to produce multiple enzymes for lignocellulolytic degradation and the present results suggest that isolates described in this study, MAEPY1 and MAEPY2, are excellent candidates deserving further study as potential producers of efficient cellulases for use in industries associated with cellulosic biomass.
