Different from visible horror elements that confront the characters directly and do physical harms, invisible horror elements are expressed through suggestion and imagination and their realities are not disclosed. For the disclosure of the realities of invisible horror elements, they are expressed through the overturned relation between the subject and victim of horror as in 'The Others' or through body snatching as in 'The Happening' and 'Paranormal Activity'. The overturn of relation and body snatching are connected to cannibalism in that the former causes a sudden change of personality and the latter takes the body of others. Cannibalism and the change of personality belong to the formalization and illogic of lower order resulting from cannibalism. The meaning of invisible horror elements in films seems to be contradictory to the original meaning of cannibalism, which is entering the sphere of utopian freedom, but considering that the reversed role resolves conflicts and tensions from terror and gives relief from fear, the meaning may be consistent with the spirit of cannibalism, namely, entering 'the sphere of freedom. In this study, the author attempted to analyze how the expression and plot of films showing invisible horror elements are related with cannibalism.

En realidad ningún otro cineasta español que Pedro Almodóvar ha centrado tan obsesivamente en Madrid. Casi todas sus obras se ocupan de la capital de España como espacio cinematográfico. Como uno de los protagonistas de La Movida, Almodóvar es un producto de Madrid de la Transición que dió luz a la nueva sociedad democrática. En principio, Madrid en las películas de Almodóvar se convierte en un espacio carnavalesco desde la perspectiva bajtiniana. El crítico ruso ha exaltado la plaza pública de los pueblos medievales europeos como el espacio carnavalesco en el que los contactos libres y familiares se realizan y el principio de lo corporal y lo material predomina. Para Bajtín, el carnaval es básicamente un rito político en el que el individuo parece dotado de una segunda vida que le permite establecer nuevas relaciones verdaderamente humanas con sus semejantes sin ninguna represión. Así que en el mundo carnavalesco todo lo sagrado, lo oficial y lo privilegiado se destronan, y en cambio lo grosero, lo extra-oficial y lo bajo se reivindican. Como los participantes del carnaval, los personajes de Almodóvar disfrutan de una segunda vida en un Madrid del mundo al revés. Por otra parte, la representación carnavalesca de Madrid tiene una tradición rica y larga en el arte español. Entre muchos artistas Goya, Arniches, Valle-Inclán y Buñuel son los antecedentes destacados de esta tradición. Así pues se puede concluir que la estética del cine de Almodóvar está anclada en la tradición hispánica del carnavalismo más bien que la estética global de la posmodernidad.

This study examined the different growth rate of larval salamander Hynobius leechii by the predation risk. We collected salamander's eggs from Mountain Inwang. Eggs were treated by two different conditions: (1) cue - which had a predation risk three times a day; (2) no cue - which had no predation risk. Predation risk was conducted by using chemical cue from Chinese minnows. The chemical cue treatment started from the next day after the collection and ended one week after the hatching. Between the first week and the second week after the hatching we fed salamander larvae with tubifex ad. libitium. After the treatment phase, we measured snout - vent length of the each larva on the first week and the second week after the hatching. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the growth rate by the predation risk. From these results we found that predation risk can cause the different growth rate to the larval salamander and these changes could be affect their mortality.

This study aimed to determine a feed withdrawal duration time of Gryllus bimaculatus (Gb), for removal of intestinal feces. Finally, this species of cricket has been temporarily approved for use as a human food source in Korea. To commercialize Gb as an edible insect, we attempted to prevent the proliferation of micro-organisms and improve taste of Gb by removing intestinal feces of live crickets. Our study showed that weak crickets were damaged in 2 days after feed withdrawal in farm. The microscope findings also revealed that feces of strong crickets' intestine almost disappeared at 1 day after feed withdrawal and instead, some of arms and legs of weak crickets were observed in the former's intestine. The results suggest that 1 day is deemed to be an adequate time for feed withdrawal, when it usually takes 1 day to deliver live crickets from the farm to a destination.

The purpose of this study is to obtain basic data on housing facilities and management of broiler welfare certified farms in Korea. We investigated breeds, flock sizes, stocking density, perches, litter, plumage condition, and other diseases. In addition, we measured temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, ammonia, and carbon dioxide concentration in the barn. As result, criteria were met in all cases that we investigated. However, farmers commonly demanded relaxation of perch and litter. Perch usage of broiler was impractical due to low usage of it. Also, litter was increased, resulting in farmers' economic burden by the imbalance between supply and demand. This situation makes farmers reuse the litter. Unfortunately, there are no clear certification standards. During re-inspection, the animal welfare certification of farms was canceled due to the reuse of litter. It is difficult to modify the standard of perch due to the strong declarative meaning of animal welfare rather than the necessity of perch usage, however, the reuse of litter should be improved. It is important to think and solve any problems faced by all farms. Especially, animal welfare standards need to be improved in more clarity and rationality.
