  • Three cases of cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) were diagnosed in a returnee from a trip to Thailand and in 2 domestic farmers during July and September, 2003. The linear and serpiginous skin lesions on the lower extremities were presented in all 3 cases. Routine laboratory findings were normal. In the imported case, a $650\times30{\mu}m$ sized filariform nematode larva, presumably a species of hookworm, was detected in the lesion. All cases were treat-ed with 400 mg albendazole once daily for 3-5 days, and their skin lesions gradually improved. In the present study, a causative agent of CLM was isolated for the first time in the Republic of Korea. Moreover, we speculate that CLM is prevalent in farmers who are in frequent contact with soil in the Republic of Korea.

  • This study intended to record a species of feather mite, Neopteronyssus bilineatus Mironov, 2003, (Arachnida: Pteronyssidae), from a grey-capped pygmy woodpecker, Yungipicus canicapillus (Blyth, 1845), in the Republic of Korea. Mite samples were collected from the flight feathers of a woodpecker, preserved directly in 95% ethyl alcohol, and then observed by a light microscope after specimen preparation. Morphology of Neopteronyssus bilineatus is distinguished from other pici group species by opisthosoma part with 2 longitudinal bends, tarsal seta rIII 3 times longer than tarsus III in males, and 2 elongated hysteronotal plates extending beyond the level of setae e2 in females. In the present study, a species of feather mite, N. bilineatus, was newly recorded from Y. canicapillus in Korean fauna.

  • In this paper we examine cultural properties of the North Korea from 'the law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Protection of Cultural Property". This law was adopted the Resolution of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of DPR of Korea in 1994. For our study, some other laws or rules established after the end of Japanese colonial occupation (1910-1945) in North Korea were examined. The policy on protection and conservation of cultural property in North Korea seems to have taken place a relatively rapid. The purpose of this law is to carry out the policy with a view to contributing to establishment of strict system and order for protection and management of cultural property, to their preservation in original state, to their proper inheritance and development, and to enhancement of national pride and confidence among the people. This law consists of 6 chapters (52 articles): (1) Fundamentals of the law on protection of cultural property, (2) Archaeological excavation and collection of cultural relics, (3) Evaluation and registration of cultural property, (4) Preservation and management of cultural property, (5) Restoration of cultural property, and (6) Guidance and control of cultural property protection. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find the evidence of efforts to exploit the cultural properties from an academic point of view in North Korea since the late 1980s.

  • The paper presented here covers the work associated with the flight control law design, ground based and in flight simulation and handling qualities assessment of the Fly-by-Wire type Aircraft (FBWA). The control law was designed for the most unstable aircraft configuration flight regime for the target aircraft (FBWA). The ground based simulation including math-model, real-time pilot-in-the-loop and iron bird simulation were used for validation of the control law before the experimental in-flight simulation on the IFS (In.Flight-Simulator) aircraft. The flight tests results showed that Level 1 handling qualities for the most unstable flight regime were achieved.

한국 지역불균등 발전의 해부: 영국과 이탈리아 부, 불균등, 지역발전 경험으로부터 교훈 (The Anatomy of the Uneven Regional Development in the Republic of Korea: Lessons from Experiences of Wealth, Inequality and Regional Development in the United Kingdom and Italy)

  • 이 연구의 목적은 한국 지역불균등 발전에 대한 주요 쟁점을 밝히는데 있다. 이를 위해서 한국과 유사한 특성을 지닌 영국과 이탈리아의 지역 불균등 발전의 특성을 부, 불균등, 지역 발전 차원에서 살펴보고, 이 사례가 한국에 갖는 함의를 고찰한다. 영국 지역 불균등 발전은 1995~2013년 동안 지속적으로 증가해 왔다. 이는 영국 산업쇠퇴지역들의 회복 불능, 신자유주의식 지방노동시장 운영과 산업 정책, 지역정책 추진의 제도적 불안정성에 기인한다. 영국은 같은 기간 동안 비교 대상국가인 프랑스, 미국, 독일, 이탈리아 등과 비교해 볼 때 가장 높은 불균등 지수를 기록했다. 이탈리아는 이 국가들 중 가장 낮은 불균등 지수를 기록하면서 불균등 완화에 긍정적인 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이탈리아의 경우, 이와 같은 추세는 대도시들의 쇠퇴로 인해서 성장지역과 저발전지역 간 격차가 완화된 것이어서 그리 긍정적인 결과로 상정하기는 어렵다. 한국은 '불균등 속의 경제 성장'을 지속해 온 대표적인 국가로, 지난 참여 정부이후 지역 간 불균등 발전은 오히려 심화되고 있다. 이와 같은 지역 불균등 발전을 완화시키기 위해서는 지역발전을 위한 새로운 동력 창출, 중소도시의 특성화를 위한 투자, 산업구조 조정지역에 대한 특별 지원정책 등이 필요하다.

  • The metacercariae of Acanthotrema felis Sohn et at., 2003 (Digenea: Heterophyidae) were discovered in a species of the brackish water fish, Acanthogobius flavimanus, in the Republic of Korea. They were experimentally fed to kittens, and adult flukes were harvested 7 days later. The adults were morphologically characterized by the presence of a bipartite seminal vesicle, the ventral sucker associated with a ventrogenital sac enclosing 3 sclerites (2 long and pointed, and 1 short and thumb-like), and an unarmed gonotyl. The adult flukes were identified as A. felis Sohn et al., 2003, and the brackish water fish A. flavimanus has been verified as one of its second intermediate hosts.

  • This study was designed to investigate the incidence of ectoparasite infestation among stray dogs in Gwang-ju City, Republic of Korea. A total of 103 stray dogs collected in the Animal Shelter of Gwang-ju City from November 2003 to August 2005 were investigated in this study. Ectoparasites of one or more genera were detected in 45.6% (47 /103) of the dogs examined for dermatologic lesions and/or skin scrapings (from 3-5 affected areas). Otodectes cynotis was found to be the most frequent parasite (22.3%, 23 / 103), followed by Sarcoptes scabiei var canis (19.4%, 20 / 103), Ctenocephalides canis (6.8%, 7 / 103), Demodex canis (4.9%, 5 / 103), and Trichodectes canis (1.0%, 1 / 103). Monospecific infestation was found in 83.0% (39 / 47) of the affected dogs, whereas concurrent infestations with 2 or more ectoparasites per animal were found in 17.0% (8 / 47) of the affected dogs. Trichodectes canis is reported for the first time in the Republic of Korea. Dogs less than 1 yr old were more heavily infected than other age groups (66.7%), and small-sized dogs of less than 3 kg body weight were more heavily infected than larger dogs (41.7%).
