  • 인류는 오랜 역사에 걸쳐 타자를 만들어내고 그들을 차별, 배제해왔다. '우리'와 '타자'를 구분하는 현대사회의 대립 구조에 대해 데리다(Jacques Derrida)는 그만의 시적 사유를 통해 동물 타자를 향한 인간 존재의 깊은 성찰을 질문한다. 본 논문은 데리다의 "동물, 그러니까 나인 동물(The Animal That Therefore I Am)"을 중심으로 동물 타자의 확장을 살펴보고자 한다. 연구자는 오늘날 동물을 바라보는 현대인의 시선을 통해 '인간-외-동물'의 지위에 관한 메시지를 던지고자 한다. 이를 위해 연구자의 작품에 등장하는 반려동물 이미지를 분석함으로써 '인간-외-동물'의 지위에 관한 고찰을 통해 앞으로 우리 사회가 추구해 나가야 할 공생, 공진화의 길에 대한 방식을 제안하고자한다. 데리다는 샤워 후 밖으로 나온 고양이의 집요한 응시 앞에 느꼈던 '수치심'이라는 정념을 통해 동물 타자를 우리에게 불러내고 그리하여 타자의 영역에서 배제되어왔던 기존 담론의 관행에 의문을 제기한다. 이 수치심이라는 정념은 인간만이 느낄 수 있는데, 여기서 데리다는 이 수치심을 통해 비로소 '인간'이 되는 경험을 한다고 이야기한다. 이에 연구자는 '인간이 되는 경험'에 초점을 맞추어 문화 속의 인간과 자연 속의 동물의 역설을 '발가벗음'의 양가성으로 살펴본다. 이러한 모색은 '우리' 공동체의 바깥에 있는 자는 고통 받아도 괜찮은 집단으로 여기는 종차별주의(Speciesism)를 비판하며 인간 중심주의에서 벗어나 동물 그 자체로 보려는 시도이다. 오늘날 동물 타자의 위치를 도나 해러웨이(Donna Haraway)의 이론 및 제인구달(Jane Goodall), 수잔 손택(Susan Sontag)의 철학을 통해 바람직한 인간과 동물의 관계, 동물에서 인간으로 인간에서 동물로 향하는 길을 모색하고자 한다. 국내에 잘 알려져 있지 않은 데리다의 동물에 대한 철학적 성찰을 통해 연구자의 작품을 분석함으로써, 본 연구 논문이 새로운 텍스트로 거듭나 인간중심적 사고의 경직을 완화하고 기존의 이분법적 사유를 탈피하여 인간과 동물 사이의 수평적, 횡단적 관계 시도로 확대되기를 기대한다.

  • Objective: The genetic effects of an individual on the phenotypes of its social partners, such as its pen mates, are known as social genetic effects. This study aims to identify the candidate genes for social (pen-mates') average daily gain (ADG) in pigs by using the genome-wide association approach. Methods: Social ADG (sADG) was the average ADG of unrelated pen-mates (strangers). We used the phenotype data (16,802 records) after correcting for batch (week), sex, pen, number of strangers (1 to 7 pigs) in the pen, full-sib rate (0% to 80%) within pen, and age at the end of the test. A total of 1,041 pigs from Landrace breeds were genotyped using the Illumina PorcineSNP60 v2 BeadChip panel, which comprised 61,565 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. After quality control, 909 individuals and 39,837 markers remained for sADG in genome-wide association study. Results: We detected five new SNPs, all on chromosome 6, which have not been associated with social ADG or other growth traits to date. One SNP was inside the prostaglandin $F2{\alpha}$ receptor (PTGFR) gene, another SNP was located 22 kb upstream of gene interferon-induced protein 44 (IFI44), and the last three SNPs were between 161 kb and 191 kb upstream of the EGF latrophilin and seven transmembrane domain-containing protein 1 (ELTD1) gene. PTGFR, IFI44, and ELTD1 were never associated with social interaction and social genetic effects in any of the previous studies. Conclusion: The identification of several genomic regions, and candidate genes associated with social genetic effects reported here, could contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis of interaction traits for ADG. In conclusion, we suggest that the PTGFR, IFI44, and ELTD1 may be used as a molecular marker for sADG, although their functional effect was not defined yet. Thus, it will be of interest to execute association studies in those genes.

  • The physical feature, physiological character and behavior studies were conducted with fifteen newly collected gayals in Bandarban hill tract area of Bangladesh. Their morphology is different from domestic cattle. The range of pulse rate, body temperature and respiration rate were 47 to 75 per minute, 37.78 to $38.88^{\circ}C$ and 20 to 40 per minute, respectively. These physiological values vary with different age group and seasonal variation. In hematological feature, the average findings were RBC $7.01{\pm}0.52$ million/cu.mm, WBC $14.3{\pm}3.69$ thousand/cu.mm, hemoglobin concentration $9.81{\pm}2.25gm%$, PCV $35.86{\pm}3.68%$. In differential WBC count neutrophils $28.23{\pm}1.75%$, lymphocytes $62{\pm}2.05%$, monocytes $4.4{\pm}1.34%$, eosinophils $5{\pm}2.49%$ and basophils $0.4{\pm}0.51%$. In behavior study, the animal shows browsing nature on hill slopes. They are watchful in new environment, become excited and nervous with strangers. Heated female gayals response for mating with domestic bull.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate dogs' sociality toward human strangers in the absence of an owner by analyzing changes in dogs' behavior during a task of making eye contact with an experimenter to obtain snacks. A total of 17 dogs were divided into groups of high sociality (HS; n = 10, 4.4 ± 3.87 years) and low-sociality (LS; n = 7, 3.71 ± 2.06 years). A comparison of the average frequency of five behavioral types-fear-appeasement behaviors (P<0.001), sociability-related behaviors (P<0.001), stress-related behaviors (P<0.05), destruction (P < 0.001), and vocalization (P < 0.001)-between the groups showed a significant difference in all five categories. Together, these results suggest that dogs with high sociality are less exposed to various stresses and have a higher ability to adapt to new environments than dogs with low sociality. This can predict dogs' adaptability to a new environment and positive outcomes in their daily life with the owner.

  • 최근 댕견으로 불리는 동경이에 대한 과학적 연구는 현재까지 거의 없는 실정이며, 본 연구는 동경이의 형태학적 특징을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구 결과 동경이는 활동적이고 체격이 단단하고 사람과 친화적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 형태학적으로 평균 22.6kg의 체중을 보여 중형견으로 분류되었고 피모색은 주로 황갈색으로 짧은 털을 가지고 있었고 외관상 골반이 단단하고 꼬리가 없거나 매우 짧았다. 방사선학적 연구 결과 꼬리의 미추가 형성되지 않았거나 미약한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과로부터 한국 고유 품종의 하나인 동경이의 특징은 무미 또는 단미인 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 혈통에 대한 유전학적 연구의 진행으로 한국 고유의 특성 있는 품종의 개발 가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The Jindo is a Korean native dog, well-known for its hunting and guarding abilities. When he gives his devotion to one individual, he gives it whole-heartedly. He is not tempted easily and impetuous. The breed was not developed. but the dog retained their original qualities -loyal, alert, fearless, obedient, watchful, intelligent, energetic- to survive in the harsh environment of the Jindo island. The dog had been spread over the entire Korean peninsula from the time unknown, and the ones in the Jindo island, isolated until lately, survived and maintained their original characteristics. They are now spread over the entire Jindo County consisted of many islands, whence the breed name came. The Jindo comes in a variety of colors and color combinations, with the fawn and white colorings predominant. The dog is one of the Korean natural monuments, protected by law since early 1960s. The Jindo gained official approval by the Federation Cynologique Internationale as a hunting dog. Apart from the basic housetraining, the dog rarely gets training. Many people have attempted to preserve its pure bloodlines and original qualities. Today, there are a total of 10,356 Jindoes being raised over the entire Jindo County, and many more are kept elsewhere. A research into genetic characteristics of the Jindo is now going on, using the technique of isozyme electrophoresis. The Jindo Dog Breeding Management Center has been reinforced lately, and in addition to their routines, the Center is to work on the breeding of the Jindo. Efforts should be made in the future to produce stable, trustworthy Jindoes according to their proposed use and to modify their temperament in order to make it more widely acceptable as a pet and companion dog in the strangers home.
