China's population and family planning program has heen successful. Women's fertility as measured by total fertility rate (TFR) has declined from 5.8 in 1970 to 2.3 in 1990, accordingly the annual crude birth rate(CBR) has declined from 34 per thousand in 1970 to 21 per thousand in 1989, and the annual natural growth rate from 2.6 percent in 1970 to 1.4 percent in 1989 (Coale and Chen, 1987; SSB, 1991; Gu, 1994). While this is indeed an astonishing achievement for a developing country to have its fertility down to replacement within a short period, some new issues emerging along with the rapid fertility decline require careful considerations. One of them is the uprising of the sex ratio at birth in China. The 1990 population census reported the sex ratio at birth in China of 113.8 in 1989, which is ohviously much higher than the acceptable level of normal ratio around 106. It has received since then a lot of tention in China and abroad, among demographic professionals and governmental agencies alike (Hull, 1990; Johansson and Nygren, 1991; Xuand Guo, 1991; Tu, 1993; Gu and Xu, 1994; among others). Based on the available demographic data and research results this paper will first have a review of the patterns and trends of sex ratio at birth in China, then turn to the immediate causes of abnormal sex ratio at birth and the determinants of the son preference, followed with a conceptual framework for understanding of the phenomenon, and finally the policy implications and recommendations will be discussed.

한국은 합계출산율이 대체수준 이하로 떨어진 1980년대 중반부터 1990년대 중반에 이르기까지 출생성비가 급격하게 상승하는 현상을 경험하였다. 출생성비의 상승은 대구, 부산과 경상북도 및 경상남도를 포함하는 영남 지역에서 두드러졌다. 한국의 출생성비는 1993년과 1994년 정점에 도달한 이후 지속적으로 저하하였으며, 2007년에 이르면 정상수준으로 낮아진 것으로 판단된다. 국제사회에서 한국은 짧은 기간에 출생성비의 저하를 성공적으로 달성한 국가로 널리 인정된다. 그러나 출산순위 및 부모의 사회경제적 지위에 따른 출생성비를 살펴보면 아직도 비정상적으로 높은 출생성비가 관찰된다. 이러한 현상은 영남 지역에서 가장 두드러지게 나타난다. 아직도 일부 지역과 집단에서는 성선별 출산행위가 광범하게 이루어지고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구의 주된 목적은 2009년 출생신고 원자료를 활용하여 어머니의 연령, 출산순위, 부모의 교육수준과 직업 등에 따른 출생성비의 편차를 영남 지역을 대상으로 파악하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 출생성비의 불균형을 초래하는 성선별 출산행위의 설명틀을 적용하여 영남 지역에서 나타나는 출생성비의 집단간 편차를 설명하고자 시도한다. 마지막으로, 이 연구에서는 인공유산에 대하여 가용한 자료가 없다는 점을 감안하여, 1994년, 2005년, 2009년의 세 시점에서 성선별 출산행위에 관한 시뮬레이션 작업이 이루어졌다. 이 시뮬레이션 작업의 결과들은 성감별과 성선별 출산행위가 세 시점에서 얼마나 광범하게 이루어졌고, 아울러 출생성비에 미친 파급효과가 어떠하였는가를 확인해준다.

The sex ratio (F:M) in the same population of oyster, Crassostrea gigas at the commencement of the study (2007) was 1:1.0, but changed to 1:2.8 by the end of the study (2008). The sex reversal rate in two-year-old oysters was 40.2%. Specifically, female to male sex reversal rate was 66.1%, which is higher than the male to female sex reversal rate of 21.1%. The sex reversal pattern of C. gigas appears to go from male ${\Rightarrow}$ female ${\Rightarrow}$ male, and as such is determined to be rhythmical hermaphroditism.

In this study, we investigated the growth rate on the basis of the sex and the year among the subjects of the licensed dental technicians from the year 1970 to 2003 in Korea. In line with this investigation, this study aims to provide a basic material with regard to the state of dental technician workforce by sex and to suggest a need to reassignment of workforce by sex in accordance with the specific job description. The results of the study are as follows; First, among the licensed dental technicians from 1970 to 2003, males came to 11,589 and females, 5,976, which shows the number of males are 1.9 times higher than that of females. To put the mean sexual composite from 1970 to 2003, male was 82.9% and female 17.1%, indicating the number of males are 4.8 higher than that of females. Second, Of the mean increasing rate until the year 2003 in contrast to 1970, male was about 351 and female was about 181, which shows the number of males increased 1.94 times higher than the females. Comparing to the mean increasing rate of the last year, female came to 25.56% and male 10.73%, which reveals that the females were about 2.4 times higher than the males. In the case of the growth rate, females increased by 1,196,20 times and the males, 26,41. As a result the growth of females are about 45.3 times higher than the males. Third, in the case of the growth rate from 1980 to 2003, females came to 47.85 times and males 9.16, which shows the growth rate of the females was about 5.2 times higher than the males. In contrast to the year 1987, the growth rate until 2003 shows that the females came to 5,13 times and the males 2.70, which indicates the growth rate of females was about 1.9 times higher than males. Fourth, Compared to the year 1990, the growth rate until 2003 shows that females came to 3.40 times and males 2.03 indicating the growth rate of the females was about 1.7 times higher than males. In contrast to the year 2000, the growth rate till 2003 shows that females was 1,34 times and males 1.15 times increased. Fifth, the ratio of sex by the year among the licensed dental technicians is as follows; ratio of male to female in 1970 was 91.2 to 1. In 2003 the ratio came to 2.0 to 1. The number of growth by sex in 1970 came to 24.0 males to 1 female. But the figure was equalled in 2003.

We investigated the androgenic effects of 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) on gonadal sex reversal and spermatogenesis in honeycomb grouper Epinephelus merra by method of gonadal biopsy. 11-KT was injected intramuscularly at a concentration of 1 and $10{\mu}g$ body weight. The proportion of cross sectional area of the gonad occupied by each germ cell type was measured and compared pre- and post-injection group. During the sex change phase, the distribution ratio of oocytes was decreased in all fish of 11-KT treatment group while the distribution ratio of spermatocytes was increased than pre-injection group. In male phase, all fish of 11-KT treatment group shown the increased distribution ratio of spermatocytes, but the distribution ratio of spermatozoa was decreased than pre-injection group. The present results suggest that 11-KT can stimulate degeneration of oocytes, proliferation of spermatocytes and spermiation in honeycomb grouper.

Objectives : South Korea has experienced unprecedented ups and downs in the sex ratio at birth(SRB), which has been a unique phenomenon in the last two decades. However, little is known about socioeconomic factors that influence the SRB. Employing the diffusion theory by Rogers, this study was undertaken to examine the trends in social variations in the SRB from 1981 to 2004 in Korea. Methods : The data was taken from Vital Birth Statistics for the period from 1981-2004. We computed the annual male proportion of live births according to the parental education(university, middle/high school, primary) and occupation(non-manual, manual, others). Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the odds ratios of male birth according to social position for the equidistant three time periods(1981-1984, 1991-1994, and 2001-2004). Results : An increased SRB was detected among parents with higher social position before the mid 1980s. Since then, however, a greater SRB was found for the less educated and manual jobholders. The inverse social gradient for the SRB was most prominent in early 1990s, but the gap has narrowed since the late 1990s. The mother's socioeconomic position could be a sensitive indicator of the social variations in the sex ratio at birth. Conclusions : Changes in the relationship of parental social position with the SRB were detected during the 1980-2004 in Korea. This Korean experience may well be explained by diffusion theory, suggesting there have been socioeconomic differences in the adoption and spread of sex-detection technology.

Objective: To investigate sex-specific correlations between the dimensions of permanent canines and the anterior Bolton ratio and to construct a statistical model capable of identifying the sex of an unknown subject. Methods: Odontometric data were collected from 121 plaster study models derived from Caucasian orthodontic patients aged 12-17 years at the pretreatment stage by measuring the dimensions of the permanent canines and Bolton's anterior ratio. Sixteen variables were collected for each subject: 12 dimensions of the permanent canines, sex, age, anterior Bolton ratio, and Angle's classification. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics, principal component analysis, and artificial neural network modeling. Results: Sex-specific differences were identified in all odontometric variables, and an artificial neural network model was prepared that used odontometric variables for predicting the sex of the participants with an accuracy of > 80%. This model can be applied for forensic purposes, and its accuracy can be further improved by adding data collected from new subjects or adding new variables for existing subjects. The improvement in the accuracy of the model was demonstrated by an increase in the percentage of accurate predictions from 72.0-78.1% to 77.8-85.7% after the anterior Bolton ratio and age were added. Conclusions: The described artificial neural network model combines forensic dentistry and orthodontics to improve subject recognition by expanding the initial space of odontometric variables and adding orthodontic parameters.
