For a shift to a new paradigm that allows restoring solidarity among class, gender, and race, it is necessary to closely investigate the differences between Marxist view and poststructuralist view which provide theoretical basis for labor movement and for feminist movement, respectively. However, little effort has been devoted to this task. This paper critically compares two best wellknown geographers; Harvey's class-centered theory and Gibson-Graham's post-structuralist feminist approach by focusing on their understandings of "difference". David Harvey argues that racial/gender discrimination is another form of class-exploitation and puts priority on the solidarity based on the commonality of labor. On the contrary Gibson-Graham argues that the privileging of class above all else marginalizes other political dimension, and proposes the deconstruction of hegemonic discourse of capitalism and the construction of "community economies", Based on the critical survey of both theories, I propose that understanding the role that spatiality plays in capital accumulation process is the key to compromise two different approaches.

This study searched for comparison with geography of Qing China, origin of geographical name, people's feature and costume, description on regional geography, and perception on locality on view of a geographer, Ji-Won Park, a renowned Korean scholar of practical learning on the late 18th century. This study on the first three chapters of his Yorha Ilgi - "Crossing the Amnok(Yalu) River("渡河錄")," "Several Records on Senyang("監京雜識")," and "Writing Essays, Riding Horses("馹迅隨筆")," focusing on landscape of Qing China, inquiry on geographical name, feature and costume, and descriptions on locality, gives a glimpse on Park's geographical view on geography of Qing China. His writing style to compare landscapes between Korea and Qing China, full of his love for Korean landscape, is very delicate and clear, Although he sentimentalized when he passed through Bonghwang-castle(鳳凰城) in China, his subtle and beautiful writing explains that land and mountains in Han-yang(Seoul) are much more wonderful than those in China. His vivid depiction of landscape and weather on his way in Qing China is remarkable and explanation on geographical names like Parhae(渤海), Yoha(遼河), Taejaha(太子河), Senyang(瀋陽) etc. is enough to stimulate readers' curiosity on geography.

Since the Shimane Prefecture government in Japan enacted "Takeshima Day" in March 2005, it has held commemorative ceremonies with Japanese politicians present each year on February 22. Japan has marked Dokdo as its territory in elementary and middle high school textbooks, and the number of such references has been increasing in recent years. Shimane Prefecture, which is the area nearest to Dokdo is strengthening Dokdo education in its geography classes at elementary and middle schools as part of regional studies. The study and education on Dokdo was begun by social studies teachers in the Oki Islands in Shimane Prefecture, but now extends throughout the prefecture. The auxiliary educational materials regarding Dokdo produced in Shimane Prefecture include teaching guidelines for teachers, worksheets for students, CDs containing statistics and picture files, and two kinds of DVD movie clips for each grade. In particular, schools teach the damage to the Japanese fishery industry caused by Korea's illegal occupation of Dokdo. This will likely form anti-Korean sentiments among Japanese students. It is hoped that Korean and Japanese scholars will work together to develop Dokdo auxiliary textbooks in order to improve the correct historical understanding of Dokdo.

Recently, the unusual climate change is happening from the global warming in the whole world, the Korean peninsula is also no exception. It is predicted by many researchers that, in the near future, the Super-Typhoon of overwhelming power will occur due to rising temperatures on the sea surface around the Korean peninsula. In this study, numerical simulation has been performed with the Super-Typhoons which combined route of Typhoon Maemi with typhoon conditons of Hurricane Katrina (New Oleans in U.S.A, 2005), Typhoon Durian (philippine, 2006) and Typhoon Vera (Ise Bay in Japan, 1959) at Busan and Gyeongnam coastal area which has been badly damaged due to storm surge every year. From the numerical results, it is revealed that the storm surge heights of the Super-Typhoons are higher than that of Maemi, specially the storm surge height in the case of Katrina is about 4 times larger. So, it can be pointed out that the construction of countermeasures against disasters are very important in order to prepare against an attack of the Super-Typhoons.

In recent years, the changes in information technology have been so dramatic and the rate of changes has increased so much that information science research rigorously evolves with the passage of time and proliferates in diverging research directions dynamically. The aims of this study are to provide a global overview of research trends in information science and to trace its changes in the main topics over time. The study examined the topics of research articles published in JASIST between 1985 and 2009 and identified its changes during five 5 year periods. The study found that the most productive area has consistently been 'Information Retrieval', followed by 'Informetrics', 'Information Use and Users', 'Network and Technology', and 'Publishing and Services'. Information retrieval is a predominant core area in Information Science covering computer-based handling of multimedia information, employment of new semantic methods from other disciplines, and mass information handling on virtual environments. Currently Informetric studies shift from finding existing phenomena to seeking valuable descriptive results and researchers of information use have concentrated especially on information-seeking aspects, so adding greater sophistication to the relatively simple approach taken in information retrieval.

Basic research have contributed to technological growth or economic growth in U.S. Specially recent studies say that universities also contribute to economic development through scientific activities like science research, education, technology transfers. But we can not assure whether scientific knowledge was connected to real technology or economic performance, and it is difficult to figure out the effect of scientific output. "What is the exact performance of scientific knowledge?" It is still obscure. In this context, this paper analyzes characteristics of the linkage of science and technology. Data are U.S. R&D expenditure, scientific articles, citation of articles in U.S. patents by fields and sectors. As a result, university sector has the most weight of the linkage of science and technology. But, in relative connection rate analysis, industrial sector's is stronger than any other sectors. In the field analysis, linkage of science and technology is very strong in Chemistry, Physics, Biological sciences fields. And recently the linkage was increased in the fields of Computer science, Agricultural science, Engineering. Finally, this paper supports funding policy or estimation policy of government to product of scientific knowledge. University sector is still important because it has the most weight of the linkage. Scientific knowledge of industrial sector is also important. The connection rate of industrial science is the strongest in all sectors. And this research classify the R&D type by science fields. Considering the differences of science fields is needed to product science knowledge effectively.

This research has attempted to conduct meta-analysis on 605 published papers in the field of socio-nuclear studies from 1957 to 2016 in Korea through network analysis of author-provided keywords. The findings lead to several straightforward conclusions. First, socio-nuclear studies including policy research have mostly been conducted by universities, while technology developments have been led by public organizations. Second, it is apparent that the Fukushima accident has provoked major engagement among social scientists in nuclear issues as the remarkable growth of the knowledge network after 2011 signify. Third, the research topics have been diversified as a result of growing multi-disciplinary research projects. Finally, there is between sub communities in the socio-nuclear knowledge network in terms of network properties. This article provides a stepping stone for future researchers with a wealth of information concerning the status of socio-nuclear studies. For policy makers, this meta-analysis is likely to provide guidance on what we need and do not need. It remains to be seen whether the socio-nuclear knowledge network in Korea is well-structured or not. provide an impetus for comparative studies with overseas cases in order to evaluate the network and its soundness.

Soongrae-Mun Fire shows safety problem in Korea intimately. People have pressed for the responsibility of persons in charge and have asked for improvement measure whenever Fire accident occur, but similar accidents occur again without any improvement. This research is to provide improvement. measure on the base of the analysis of the cause of Soongrae-Mun fire to prevent similar accident, also to help private security company do effective security job. This research is approached from a security point of view. A lot of accidents occur by direct cause such as people's unsafe action and unsafe condition. but it is very difficult to remove the facts of direct cause, so the facts of indirect cause should be analyzed together. Drew-up of security related legislation should be included when the establishment of fire fighting related legislation is examined, also technical improvement should be examined with legislation. security company should be concerned about securing of expertise and reinvestment for the improvement of expertise to overcome limitations of private security such as job boundary, capability and responsibility. Also private security company should try to service for public benefit and to examine practical compensation for loss occurred by mistake of security company.

One interesting parasitic forming fungus, being grown on the eggs of Phallus impudicus was collected from Mulchajoreum and on woods of Saryeoni in Jeju island. This taxon identified as a Podostroma solmsii (E. Fisch.) S. Imai f. octospora Yoshim. Doi (Hyporeaceae) based on morphological characteristics. According to the interpretation of Doi(1978), this taxon hsving the stipitate, genus Podostroma, family Hypocreaceae, Hypocreales, Ascomycota was identified as Podostroma solmsi f. octospora and its korean common name designated by authors. This species is characterized in having the fusiforme to ellipsoidal, unicellular and warted ascospores without septate and with blunt apiculus at each end and mycoparasitic habitat. Although there is some mycologists suggest that this taxon having above characters needs to be derived from Hypomyces. But authors are primarily going to record this species as a named "Podostroma solmsii (E. Fisch.) S. Imai f. octospora Yoshim. Doi" for the fungus flora of Korea. In a future, it is need in detail to compare their DNA sequencing data on the type species and some related species. All collections cited here are deposited in the Herbarium Conservation Center of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

As increasing numbers of married women enter the labor force, scholars pay attentions to work-to-family and family-to-work spillover. So accumulating empirical research has been done to examine negative and positive spillover between two life areas. But existing research focuses only on this negative or positive spillover and do not combine these two interdependent aspects of spillover. But individuals experience the negative and positive spillover everyday. Therefore scholars point out the need of research to represent this reality of married men and women. Using data from a sample of 721 male and 359 female married workers, this study try to examine the 'global' measures of spillover between work and family. In particular, this study focuses on gender differences in this global measures and some potential factors influencing levels of global spillover. I find that while women and men do not differ in global work-to-family spillover, they do differ in global family-to-work spillover. It is found that four out of ten wives belong to 'high' in negative family-to-work spillover and 'low' in positive family-to-work spillover and only one out of ten wives belong to 'low' in negative family-to-work spillover and 'high' in positive family-to-work spillover. It is well documented that women do the bulk of family responsibilities such as housework and childrearing and consider home as their second workplace. The findings in this paper may represent unequal gender realities.
