Because no reference on trombiculid mites (Acarina: Trombiculidae) in Cheju Island where tsutsugamushi disease is highly endemic had been available, studies on trombiculid mites in Cheju Island were implemented during the period of August 1991-Apil 1992, and the results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) The species and numbers of the field rodents collected were 143 Apodemus agrarius chejuensis (92.3%), 11 Crocidura lasiura (7. l%) and 1 Micromys minutus (0.6%) From total 12,075 chiggers harvested, 9 species of 4 genera in Trombiculidae were identified. (2) The predominant species through all seasons was 1. setum (43.3%), followed by 1. orientale (27.4%) and 1. scutellare (26.6%). However, in autumn when the most cases of tsutsugamushi disease occur, 1. scutellere was prominently predominant, having 79.8% of the collected chiggers. (3) Among 1,1421. scutellare examined for Rickettsia tsutsugpmushi by means of IFA test, 6 individuals were found positive showing 0.5% of infection rate. This is the first finding that 1. scutellere is the second vector species of tsutsugamushi disease in Korea. (4) Antibody positive rate of A. agrarius chejuensis sera were 31.2% (44/139), and 1 M. minutes serum was also found positive. The seropositive rates by season were not so significantly different. Key words: Tsutsugamushi disease, epidemiology, vector species, Cheju Island, Korea.

Studies on geographical distributions and relative population densities of the vector mites of tsutsugamushi disease were carried out in October 1996 at 12 locations of the mid south inland of the Korean peninsula, where chigger mites have been never studied. Of 177 field rodents and insectivores collected. 154 (87.0%) were Apodemus ngrarius. Total 25,707 chigger mites were collected and 14 species were identified. of which Leptotrombidium pnllidum was predominant (79.8%) and L. palpate the next (8.9%) . L. pallidum, the vector species, was widely distributed in all study areas, showing the highest density at Cho-o 2-dong, Sangju-si (chigger index 201.8), and the lowest at Tanwol-dong. Chungiu-si (chigger index 40.7) . The other vector species, L. scutellare was found only at the southern part of the study area such as Yobae and Mipyong, Kumrung gun and Vnsu , Kimchon-si. The northernmost areas of the L. scutellcre distribution were coincided with the areas where actual mean air temperature is above 10.0%. Among 157 A. ograrius sera tested, 48.3% was Karp, 1.7% william and 3.3% Kuroki. The rest of the sera were not able to determine the sexto-type because of the cross antigen-antibody reactions among the tested sero-types.

Yun Dong - ju's poetry and his representations are used in various visual and dramatic media. According to its medium and genre characteristics, Yoon Dong - ju's representations and his poems are selected and changed. It is also the process of reading what the text is trying to convey to the public through a single person. In this study, Yoon Dong - joo's poetry was compared with other poetry of poetry. Particularly, the discussion was focused on the creative actor . If the creative drama is transmitting the feelings of Yoon Dong-ju through the city, the film conveys the poem of Yoon Dong-ju. Gamuplays are more restrictive than the movies because of their genre. As a result, the emotional expressions of the characters are more intense, the progress of the narrative is also dramatic, and the aspect of Yun Dong - ju, a poem illuminated by the movie and the drama, also differs. If the film aims to portray poet Yoon Dong-ju as a genuine literary youth, the creative poet reinterprets Yun's poetry as having a meaning of resistance.

I have researched in the field the religious and performance culture of Indonesia through the musical iconography of Borobudur. There are many kinds of musical instruments which belong to India or Indonesia, performers being either court or folk musicians. Contemporary south-east Asian Indonesia has a broad religious heritage. Most of the population is Muslim, but the culture and customs are rooted in Indian Ramayana. I discovered, for example, the same percussion instruments played on a person's knees. I also came across similar string instruments with long and elliptical resonance casks on the iconography of the Incense Burner and Byam temple stone pagoda of Beakje dynasty in Korea and in Borobudur in Indonesia. The two musical instruments can not be found in other countries, such as Silla, Koguryŏ, China or the silk road area, but only Indonesia or India. This suggests that Beakje Buddhism is from the southern regions rather than China. I also discovered the same dancing motion with the court performers on the iconography of Borobudur, and the same musical instrument and performance in the Gamelan in today's Indonesian performance. Despite a disjuncture between the people and their past, the Shailendra Buddhism is alive in people's life and culture in the present day. So we can discover some familiarities between Indonesia's Gamelan and the percussional performance in Korean Buddhist rituals.

1. The basic investigations on soil textures, water holding capacity, pH, exchangeable calcium, and organic matter contents in four species bed were conducted in order to improve the natural flat for the bivalve beds. 2. It was statistically significant that there were differences in the soil textures among all beds of four species, D. japonica, C. sinensis, M. veneriformis, and T. philippin-arum. 3. There was no significant difference in water holding capacity, pH, and exchange-able calcium contents among different bivalve beds statistically, 4. It was highly significant that there were diffences in soil organic matter content among all groups of beds except that of D. japonica - C. sinensis. 5. It is considered that that soil textures and soil organic matter contents are most important factors to restrict the distribution of each species bivalve within a certain limited area of tidelands.

The random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPD) technique was used to characterize the genetic relationship of five species from in the family of Veneridae which is one of the commercially important clam family in Korea. The veneride clams' DNA were extracted from adductor muscular by the proteinase K-phenol method. Among 20 primers, 15 unit primers were amplified and produced at least, 2 or 3 from the top band. Genetic similarity between the purplish washington, Saxidomus purpuratus and the hard clam, Meretrix lusoria was the highest (0.87); the lowest genetic similarity (0.46) was formed between the little clam, Ruditapes philppinarum and the purplish washington, S. purpuratus. The genetic relationship between the venus clam, Protothaca jedoensis and the little clam, R. philppinarum was a closer than those between others. These results may indicate that the method of artificial seeding production of P. jedoensis for the propagation of resources can be focused on R. philppinarum.

Jie Jie Hao Yin 『절절호음(節節好音)』 is a script collection produced during the Qianlong's ruling Period which had one of the most flourished period of Qing Dynasty's Palace Drama. This script collection is consisted of 86 scripts of 6 Festival Court Plays: New year's day (元旦), Lantern festival(上元), Yanjiu festival(燕九), Snow appreciation(賞雪), Day of Kitchen god worshipping(祀竈), New year's eve(除夕). These scripts are effective records to study the New Year's Eve Drama of Qianlong Period. Jie Jie Hao Yin carry out the performances not only through Kunqiang (崑腔), and Yiyang Tune (弋腔), but also through various types of entertaining performances such as dance, masque play, puppet show, and story telling. Most of the songs were sung by various gods praising the era of peace as the holiday approaches. In the contents of revealing the luck to be brought by the holidays, it sought for the colorful transformations of stages through adding humoristique short stories or various feast genres in between the performance. It also tries to seek for diversities of stages through active application of acrobatics. It also portrays folk customs from BaiYunGuan's temple fair, Yanjiu Festival in YanBin, the Lantern Fair of Lantern Festival, and various activities of wet markets from New Year's Eve from diverse points of views. Especially through various shows and Chinese folk-art forms, the popular folk activities and entertainments near Beijing in the beginning era of Qing Dynasty can be observed. Jie Jie Hao Yin is a very important resource to look at the popular art activities of Beijing during Qianlong Period, and how the Palace culture accepted the folk cultures and applied to its own advancements.

This study examines multiple functions of the complex cultural center. Recently, the importance of the complex cultural center has been growing, as peoples desire for cultural activities diversified. In order to effectively accommodate the general publics interests in various cultural activities, the complex cultural center tended to be multi-functional. At the same time, I argue that it is necessary to reexamine its functions in terms of how the multi-complex cultural center fits into local environment. Only when both peoples demand and local environment are fully integrated into its design, can the multi-complex cultural center accomplish the goal of multiple functions in a true sense.

We experienced two cases of Tsutsugamushi disease which occurred in October, 2000. The patients, who were over 70 years old and living in a rural area, visited Wonkwang University Oriental Chonju Medicine Hospital because of suffering fever, chill, skin rash, abdominal discomfort, and general weakness for a duration of seven days. The diagnosis was confmned as Tsutsugamushi disease by clinical findings such as eschar and high antibody titers on Reverse Passive Hemagglutination(RPHA). As for treatment, we used Sengmagalgentang-gamibang during the acute and Chojungikitang during convalescent phases of the illness. The patients were treated with Doxycycline of western medicine. The patients improved within 3 days of admission and were discharged within one week.

중국 경극에서 얼굴에 다양한 분장을 하는 것을 검보라 하며, 극 중에서는 다양한 상징성을 갖는다. 검보는 민족적 특색을 내재하며, 극중 캐릭터를 위한 "영혼의 화면"이라 불린다. 반면, 일본 노극은 가면을 쓰고 연기하는 독특한 고전 가무극으로 히타멘(直面, 가면을 쓰지 않음)과 가면을 쓰는 공연으로 나뉘며, '유현(幽玄)의 예술" 이라고 불린다. 이러한 경극의 검보와 노극의 가면은 애니메이션에 캐릭터에 차용되며, 극의 서사와 상징성을 드러내는 매개 역할을 하고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 경극의 검보와 노극의 가면이 연출된 애니메이션 영화를 중심으로 사례 비교연구를 진행하고자 한다.
