This study aims to identify the representation of migrants in the English-language media during the Brexit campaign period. For the purpose of this study, the methodological tool of corpus-assisted discourse studies(CADS) was employed and a collection was compiled of articles mentioning Brexit in British, American, Canadian, and Australian media from April 15 to June 22, 2016 in order to compare their portrayals of migrants. To examine how IMMIGRANT, MIGRANT, and REFUGEE are represented in the media, their collocates were analyzed by MI score and categorized by social actor categorization(Van Leeuwan, 1996). The results show that IMMIGRANT is related to collocates that refer to legal status and provenance, MIGRANT associated with economic terms, and REFUGEE relates to terms expressing quantities. The results also reveal that migrants are frequently depicted by functionalization, classification, and appraisement categorization and are more negatively portrayed in British and American media. This paper claims that corpus-assisted linguistic analysis of words enables one to identify salient linguistic patterns or lexical choices in the discourses about a particular phenomenon or group of people.

The continuous aging of the domestic construction industry and the shortage of human resource are no longer a problem for the future, but must be solved for the survival of the domestic construction industry, given the characteristics of the labor-intensive construction industry and the continuing negative image of young people toward the construction industry. It is undoubtedly a prerequisite. This study is aimed to tackle the fundamental problem of the construction labor shortage faced by the domestic construction industry by comparing and analyzing the case of MMC technology development in the UK, which has been preparing fast-track response measures for the past 5 years to solve the labor shortage problem, and the case of Buildability technology development in Singapore, which is seeking mid- to long-term countermeasures for about 20 years. Also, This research provides the initial research & development roadmap for Korean Countermeasures Strategy.

Many recent British novels engage with the construction and deconstruction of history and identity; and in dealing with these historical, or historicised novels it seems to be an untouchable ground that truth is beyond grasp. Even when approached, its authenticity should be examined under the post-modern "incredulity toward metanarrative" discourses. Julian Barnes's 1998 novel England, England may be one of these. Yet, unlike others it achieves a complicated and controversial status as a new kind of historiographic metafiction by providing selfconscious reflections on the invention of innocence and the questionable notion of historical authenticity against the background of current postmodern historical, cultural, and literary explorations. The book, set in a near-future, namely post-post-modern England, starts with a story of a young girl, Martha Cochrane, whose first memory goes back to her early infantile years. Yet, the narrator comments that it is a lie, "her first artfully, innocently arranged lie," since memory, or history, is a product of identity, and vice versa. Her memory of the jigsaw puzzle is both a reminiscent and a significant component of who she is now, both a simulacrum and the original of herself. The correlation between her individual memory and identity parallels that of a region, England, in formation of its history and nationality. "England, England" is the replicated miniature of the former glorious Kingdom as well as a becoming der Ding an sich (the thing itself). In search of the English history and identity, the author satirizes the modern mind's perception of the unreliability and arbitrariness of memory and history, and further explores the alternative to the postmodern discourses by suggesting the probability of inventing innocence glimpsed in children's face "believing while disbelieving." In doing so, the author reconstructs not only the history of Englishness on the ground where nothing seems to be solid, but more importantly also the postmodern theme of relativity in relation to memory, history and identity.

This study empirically analyzed the proportion and method of Open Access (OA) in Korea, China, Japan, the United States, United Kingdom based on the Web of Science (WoS) papers. In addition, through the verification of the moderating effect, it was verified whether there is a difference in the effect of the amount of citation depending on the maturity of OA according to the countries or academic fields. As a result of the analysis, the proportion of OA was the highest in the UK at 62.7%, and the lowest in China at 38.0%. Second, the UK and US had a high proportion of indicators through self-archiving and APC-based Gold Hybrid, while only the Gold indicators were found to be prominent in China and Korea. Third, in the UK, US and Japan, the higher the proportion of OA, the greater the effect of inducing the citations. However, Korea (B=-0.00003, p<0.01) and China (B=-0.00001, p<0.01) showed the opposite direction. In addition, in most academic fields, the OA proportion had an effect of inducing citation, but a negative effect was found in the engineering field (B=-0.00002, p<0.01).

This paper attempts to examine complicated relations which the nineteenth-century English novel of female development has with the Bildungsroman genre, and to discuss that the story of female development effectively realizes the potential dynamics of the genre. It looks into the history of discussions on the Bildungsroman which began at the end of the nineteenth-century in Germany and developed among twentieth-century Anglo-American critics, and those on the female development which didn't start until feminist criticism ventured out at the end of 1970s, and have developed into various perspectives ever since in accordance to the progress of feminist criticism. In general, Bildungsroman criticism considers that it portrays the process how the protagonist develops self and achieves an accommodation with society. However, this paper points out that the Bildungsroman is the narrative form which represents conflicts between self and society caused by idealizing the infinitive possibility of self-determination while simultaneously presenting the limited goal of social integration. It argues that the subversive dynamics of the genre can give full play to its potential when it reveals contradictions and tensions between individual subjectivity and integration into society and connects them with criticism of political and social structures. It is the stories of female Bildungshelds depicted by nineteenth-century female writers that exquisitely embody the subversive potential of the Bildungsroman. They acutely experience alienation from society where independency or autonomy is fundamentally impossible because the ideology of separate spheres does not allow them to live a meaningful life economically and sociologically outside the marriage. An example of a female Bildungsheld whose conflicts between development of self and integration with society are doubled by gender is Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is a representative Bildungsroman with subversive dynamics, which tells the story of female development but splits itself through various techniques inserting contradictory and opposite meanings, thus resignifying female development and questioning social and political structures.

내분비계 장애물질 중 에스트로겐성 특성을 지닌 것으로 알려진 bisphenol A에 폭로되었을 때에 나타나는 이상 증상과 selenoprotein N 결핍 증상은 유사성이 있는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 bisphenol A에 폭로된 생물체의 selenoprotein N 유전자 발현에 영향을 미치는지에 관해 연구하였다. 실험동물은 zebrafish (Danio rerio, wild type)의 수정란을 사용하였다. Zebrafish의 수정란은 서로 다른 농도의 bisphenol A (0.1, 1, 10 ppm)에 노출하였다. 각각의 폭로 환경에서 부화된 치어를 시료로 selenoprotein N 유전자 발현을 RT-PCR방법에 의해 알아보았다. 그 결과, bisphenol A는 척추이상과 심장이상이 나타나 selenoprotein N 이상시 나타나는 현상과 유사성을 보였다. Selenoprotein N 유전자 발현은 bisphenol A 폭로 농도가 높아짐에 따라 유전자 발현 농도가 낮아지는 것으로 관찰되었다. 특히 1 ppm 농도에서는 대조군이나 0.1 ppm 농도보다 catalase의 활성이 높게 나타나 특정 농도에서 bisphenol A에 의한 영향이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다.

유아론에 대한 비트겐슈타인의 철학적 투쟁을 조명하는 것은 그의 전체 철학의 핵심을 조명하는 것에 상당한다. 요컨대 유아론의 문제는 언어놀이, 놀이와 언어의 유사성, 가족 유사성, 규칙 따르기, 규칙 따르기의 역설, 사적 언어 논변, 뜻함, 봄과 -로서 봄, 모순, 논리적 필연성, 함 또는 실천과 같은 후기 비트겐슈타인의 핵심 개념이나 주제와 얽혀 있다. 이를 보이기 위해서 이 글에서는 유아론의 개념, 유아론에 대한 청년 비트겐슈타인의 생각, 후기 비트겐슈타인의 진단을 논의하게 될 것이다. 이러한 과정에서 우리는 비트겐슈타인이 유아론(넓게는 데카르트주의, 영국경험론, 현상학)에서 실천으로 나아가는 패러다임의 전환을 수행하고 있다는 것을 확인하게 될 것이다. 이러한 논의가 진행되면 우리는 유아론에 대한 후기 비트겐슈타인의 비판과 '사적 언어'가 어떻게 연결되는지 자연스럽게 문제 삼게 된다. 많은 학자들이 주장하는 바에 따르면, 비트겐슈타인은 사적 언어가 불가능하다고 간주했다. 그러나 나는 이러한 주장은 비트겐슈타인이 처한 패러다임의 전환 상황을 간과하는 처사로서 설득력 없는 것임을 보이고자 한다.
