The aim of the present study is to investigate the interannual variabilities of the East Asia monsoon rainfall associated with the global sea surface temperature anomaly(SSTA). For this study, the summer rainfall(from June to August) over the twenty-eight period of 1961-1988 were analyzed with being divided by nine-subregions over East Asia including Korea, China and Japan. From the analysis of the principal modes explaining the interannual variation, the interannual variabilities of summer rainfalls in South Japan and Korea are larger than those of the other subregions of the East Asia. There is a strong negative correlation between the summer rainfalls of south China and Korea. In this study, the relationship between the summer monsoon of each subregion and SSTs of the tropical NINO regions, of western Pacific warm pool, and of the subtropical ocean were investigated. The longitudinal sections of the lagged cross correlations of the summer rainfal1 anomaly in (a) Korea and (b) south China, and the monthly SSTA in the equatorial(averaged from 65 to 6N) Pacific were analyzed. The negative maximum correlation pattems of Korea''s stammer rainfal1 and SSTs over the eastern Pacific is transfered to positive maximum conrlation over central Pacific region with a biennial periodicity. In South China, the significant positive correlations are found at -12 month lag over the eastern Pacific and maximum negative correlation at 16 month lag over the central Pacific with the quasi-biennial oscillation. But the correlation coefficient reverses completely to that in Korea. In order to investigate the most prevailing interannual variability of rainfall related to the favored SSTA region, the lagged cross correlations between East Asia rainfall and SSTs over the moO regions(NINO 1+2(0-105, 90W-80W), NINO 3(5N-5S, 150W-90W), NINO 4(5N-5S, 160E-l50W) and the western Pacific worm pool (5N-5S, 120E-l60E) were analyzed. Among the lagged cross-correlation cycles in NINO regions, the maximum correlations for the negative lagged months prevail in NINO 1+2 and NINO 3, and the cross correlations for the positive lagged months NINO 4. It is noteworthy that correlation between the western Pacific warm pool SSTA and the monsoon rainfall in Korea and South China have the maximum value at negative 4 month lag. The evolution of the correlation between the East Asia monsoon rainfall and SSTA is linked to the equatorial convective cluster and related to northward propagating situation, and raising the possibility that the East Asia monsoon precipitation may be more fundamentally related to the interaction of intraseasonal oscillations and the sub-regional characteristics including the surface boundary conditions and the behavior of climatological air mass.

Marine environment is subject serious destruction because of frequent accidents during exploration of marine resources and overseas transport. Also, as many industrial enterprises discharge high volume of wastes and contamination, marine pollution has become a serious threat to people (especially in China). China is quickly becoming a world economic leader of the 21st century. Rapid industrialization and social changes have raised the standard of living of millions of the Chinese, mainly in the areas of East and South East coast. The process of industrialization, however, is often followed by deterioration of the marine environment and rarely turned around until a country has increased its standard of living. Solving these array of problems will take decades and currently the government is addressing minor specific issues only. Fortunately, the Chinese government has enacted a number of marine pollution control laws. On 25 December 1999, the 13th Session of the Ninth Standing Commettee of the National People's Congress passed the amended the Marine Environment Protection Law of the People's Republic of China. This Law establishes rights and responsibilities of the relevant departments concerning marine environment management and provides for two new chapters on "Marine Environment Supervision" and "Marine Ecological Protection", along with "Supervision of Pollution Prevention for Marine Construction Projects", "Marine Ecological Protection" and "Marine Environment Pollution Prevention for Marine Construction Projects". Also, the Law was amended with provisions for integrated pollution discharge control system and oil spillage emergency response plan and enhanced legal responsibilities. Chinese government recognizes that international and national experience can be useful for China to prevent further ecological degradation of the marine environment.

본 연구는 현재까지 중국의 해양 회색지대 전략에 관한 국내 연구들이 기존 미국 주도의 회색지대 연구의 분석 결과를 답습하고 있으며, 대응책에 관해서도 원론적 입장과 방향만이 제시된 '선언적·개념적' 수준에 머물러 있다는 문제의식에서 시작되었다. 필자는 위 문제점 극복을 위해 중국은 자국 고유의 전략문화를 구성하는 '삼전'을 기반으로 해양 회색지대 전략을 전개한다는 인식 하에 남중국해, 동중국해, 그리고 서해와 이어도 일대에서 전개 중인 해양 회색지대 전략을 삼전의 영역별로 분석하였다. 분석결과 추후 서해와 이어도 일대를 차지하기 위해 중국의 해양 회색지대 전략은 보다 공세성을 띌 것으로 예측되며, 우리해군 대응전략 개념으로 『중국 해양 회색지대 전략의 기반인 '삼전'의 전개 효과를 '무력화'시켜 중국이 유도하는 점진적인 현상 변화를 멈추게 하고, 규범·규칙에 기반한 해양질서로 '환원'을 지속적으로 추구』를 제시하였다. 그리고 대응전략의 개념을 이행할 수 있는 '구체화·체계화'된 대응책을 본 연구에서 제시하였다.

The bioactive secondary metabolites produced by sea cucumbers are very diverse with differences in composition, linkages, molecular weight, and various functional properties. Due to their physicochemical properties, these bioactive molecules in sea cucumbers have found applications in various market segments such as functional foods and cosmetics. Sea cucumber side dishes are a prominent food item in traditional cuisine in East Asian countries such as South Korea, China, and Japan. In addition, many studies have reported that the consumption of sea cucumbers can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, the pathogenesis of cancer cells, chronic inflammatory diseases, etc. In particular, many studies have recently reported the potential of sea cucumbers to develop functional products to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, diabetes, and cancer. Additionally, these bioactive properties associated with sea cucumbers make them ideal compounds for use as functional ingredients in functional food products. However, no report has yet reviewed the properties of sea cucumbers related to functional foods. Therefore, in this review, the primary focus is given to collecting published scientific data (from 2019 to 2023) on the bioactive properties of sea cucumbers relevant to the functional food industry.

The year 2010 has been regarded as a year of China's assertive diplomacy. A series of China's behavior--including China's critical reaction to the U.S. for its sales of weapons to Taiwan, the Dalai Lama's visit to President Obama, China's arbitrary designation of 'core interests' over the South China Sea, China's inordinate reactions to the sinking of the Cheonan and Yeonpyeong bombardment, and China's activities in the Senkaku/Diaoyu island areas--has served as the witnesses to China's assertive diplomacy in 2010. The major causes of China's assertive diplomacy can be summed up by three factors: potential power transition from U.S. to China; emerging China's nationalism; and the recession of the Tao Guang Yang Hui as a diplomatic principle. But a majority of Western sinologists claim that China's assertive diplomacy is defensive in terms of its character. China's neighboring states, however, perceive its assertive diplomacy as diplomatic threat. Due to these states' geographical proximity and capability gaps with China, these neighbors experience difficulties in coping with China's behavior. In particular, China's coercive economic diplomacy, in which China tends to manipulate the neighbors' economic dependency on China for its diplomatic leverage, is a case in point for China's assertive diplomacy. China's assertiveness seems to be continued even after the inauguration of Xi Jinping government. Although the Xi government's diplomatic rhetorics in "New Type of Great Power Relationship" and the "Convention for Neighboring States Policy" sound friendly and cooperative, its subsequent behavior, like unilateral announcement of Chinese Air Defense Identification Zone (CADIZ), does not conform with its rhetoric. Overall, China's assertiveness has been consolidated as a fashion of its diplomacy, and it is likely to continue in its relations with neighbors. As a neighboring state, the ROK should approach to it with more balanced attitude. In addition, it needs to find out a new diplomatic leverage to deal with China in accordance with its security environment, in which China plays a growing role.

Surface current fields in the eastern East China Sea (ECS) were constructed by analyzing trajectories of 58 satellite-tracked surface drifters released during 1991-1996. Composite trajectories and 20-minute-by-20-minute box-averaged current vectors show that the basic current pattern composes of: the Kuroshio main stream, which turns eastward toward the Tokara Strait; a northward branch current of the Kuroshio on the ECS outer shelf deeper than 100 m; and an anticyclonic circulation in the northern Okinawa Trough west of Kyushu. The northward branch current sharply changes its direction to the northeast when it crosses a line connecting Cheju Island, Korea and Goto Islands, Japan. The basic pattern of current field changes slightly from winter to summer, and the main axis of the Tsushima Current in the Korea Strait is found to shift seasonally. The drifter experiment does not support the claim that the Yellow Sea Warm Current is separated from the northward branch current on the outer shelf southeast of Cheju Island. We suggest that the use of the term 'Tsushima Current' be limited to the northeast channel flow in the Korea Strait. The new term 'Kuroshio Branch Current' is suggested for the northward branch current on the outer shelf south of Cheju-do, which is separated from the Kuroshio.

세계 25개 이상의 공해의 명칭은 특정 국가나 주의 지명을 따라고 있다. 이러한 명칭들이 널리 받아들여지고 있는 것은 아니지만 몇몇 경우에는 심각한 논쟁을 야기하고 있다. 공해의 국가 지명 사용에 대한 갈등의 수준을 체계적으로 조사해 보면, 이러한 갈등은 공해의 명칭에 사용된 국가의 지배권에 대한 야망을 우려하는 이해 당사자 국가들 사이에 힘의 관계가 변화하는 곳에서 일어나기 쉬움을 알 수 있다. 이는 공해의 국가지명 사용에 대한 상당한 논쟁이 존재하는 다음의 세 상황-The Persian / Arabian Gulf와 The Sea of Japan / East Sea, 그리고 South China Sea / Bien Dong - 의 경우에도 그러하다. 이러한 논쟁이 거의 나타나지 않는 경우는 그 지역에 어떠한 나라도 지명 문제에 대해서 심각한 이해관계를 가지고 있지 않거나, 혹은 해양과 결합된 명칭이 그 지역의 다른 국가들에게 역사적인 위협을 주지 않는 경우이다. 국가나 주의 이름을 따른 공해의 명칭은 단일 민족이나 정치적 존재에 의한 소유권이나 통제권을 내포하고 있기 때문에, 잠재적으로 분쟁 가능성이 있다. 지명을 둘러싼 이러한 논쟁을 이해하기 위해서는 지정학적 문맥에 대한 고려가 요구된다.

동중국해 북부 대륙붕에 발달한 후기 홀로세 니질 퇴적체의 분포양상과 층서의 발달 특성을 밝히기 위해 고해상도 Chirp 탄성파 단면 자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 고해상 탄성파 단면도상에서 음향기반암(기저 경계면 B)위에 2개의 퇴적층서(Unit 1과 2)가 나타나며 이들은 침식 경계면(중간 반사면 M)으로 경계된다. 하위 퇴적층서 Unit 1은 음향학적으로 평행 또는 준평행 반사층리와 수로 충진 퇴적상이 나타난다. 상위 퇴적층서 Unit 2는 반투명 내부 퇴적상과 7m 이하 퇴적두께의 렌즈형태로 발달해 있다. 시퀀스 층서분석으로부터 이들 퇴적층서는 마지막 저해수준 이후 형성되었다. 해침 퇴적체(Unit 1)는 최후 빙기동안 형성된 층서 경계면위에 바로 분포한다. 해침 퇴적체는 침식곡의 염하구 환경하에서 하천, 델타, 그리고 조간대 환경의 복합 퇴적물로 구성된다. 해침 퇴적체 바로 위는 침식 저지형의 최대 범람면이 나타난다. 최대 범람면위에 발달한 고해수준 퇴적체(Unit 2)은 저지대를 충진하는 니질 퇴적체로 구성된다. 니질 퇴적체는 제주도 남쪽 약 140km 떨어진 곳에 마치 태풍 같은 모양의 원형 형태로 수심 약 60-90m 사이에 집중적으로 발달해 있다. 이 퇴적체의 분포 면적과 부피는 각각 약 $3,200km^2$와 약 $10.7\times1109m^3$이다. 니질 퇴적체의 기원은 고황하와 양자강에서 배출된 부유퇴적물의 혼합기원으로 해석된다. 원형의 분포형태는 북부 동중국해에 발달한 반시계 방향의 와류 순환계로 인해 형성된 것으로 판단된다.
