The purpose of this study was to explain the uniqueness of tropical space style by identifying it in Southeast Asia. For this purpose, literature review was examined from 26 specialized tropical space style books and categorized. Its results are expected to be used as reference materials in designing spaces related to Southeast Asia and for constructors planning to run their business in Southeast Asia or Korea. The results of categorization are as follows; 'Tropical Traditional', 'Tropical Colonial' and 'Tropical Modern'. First, in case of Tropical Traditional Style, the traditional styles are adopted in roof and some of traditional styles are adopted in walls, windows and doors. Second, in case of Tropical Colonial Style, Renaissance or neo-classical styles are adopted in most of columns, archs, windows and doors. The traditional styles are also blended. Third, in case of Tropical Modern Style, straight line designs are adopted dominantly. However, decorative objects of traditional style are used to catch eyes. In summary, traditional style are imbedded more or less in all of tropical style and particularly, decorative objects of traditional style are key elements representing tropical space.

In the past decade, experts have conducted parasitological research on archaeological specimens in Korea to collect historical parasite infection data. In these studies, parasitologists successfully described the infection pattern of each parasite species in history. However, in the first half of the 20th century, archaeoparasitological reports have been scant. In 2021, we conducted a parasitological examination of a toilet-like structure that emerged in the early 20th century. This structure was built by stacking 2 wooden barrels; and in the study samples, we found ancient Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides (unfertilized), and Taenia spp. eggs and therefore proposed a higher possibility that the barrels could have been used as a toilet at the time. To understand how the antihelminthic campaign since the 1960s helped reduce parasite infection rates in Korea, more research should focus on early-20th-century toilet ruins.

The objective of this study was to identify the design characteristics of space components observed in Malaysian hotel lobbies. For this study, we conducted a case study on the facades and indoor space components of 15 hotel lobbies in Langkawi and Penang, and drew conclusions as follows. First, designs found in the facades and indoor space components of Malaysian hotel lobbies reflected all of traditional and colonial styles, religious styles including Islamic, and contemporary styles. Second, traditional designs showed rather the modernization of traditions than the preservation of traditions. Particularly in ceilings, walls and windows/doors, conservative or progressive modemization was observed frequently. Third, contemporary designs were mostly formative modernization, and materials and colors still adhered to traditions and nature. Fourth, in applied furniture, traditional wood sculptures were mixed or traditional material rattarn(stems of climbing palms) was utilized actively. Fourth, a large number of designs symbolized the Malaysian first religion Islam. Summing up these results, the common point of designs observed in the facades and indoor space components of Malaysian hotel lobbies was that they were transformed into Malaysian style regardless of whether they were traditional or colonial.

In this study we take a closer look at the diseases that afflicted Japanese police officers who were stationed in a remote mountainous region of Taiwan from 1921 to 1944. Samples were taken from the latrine at the Huabanuo police outpost, and analyzed for the eggs of intestinal parasites, using microscopy and ELISA. The eggs of Eurytrema sp., (possibly E. pancreaticum), whipworm and roundworm were shown to be present. True infection with Eurytrema would indicate that the policemen ate uncooked grasshoppers and crickets infected with the parasite. However, false parasitism might also occur if the policemen ate the uncooked intestines of infected cattle, and the Eurytrema eggs passed through the human intestines. These findings provide an insight into the diet and health of the Japanese colonists in Taiwan nearly a century ago.

한국 지리학계에서 보건의료에 대한 지리학적 연구가 증가되고 있는 양상에 비추어 볼 때, 의료지리학이 개념적으로 어떻게 발달해왔는지에 대한 역사적인 인식이 요청된다. 이 글의 목적은 의료지리학의 개념적 역사를 탐구하고 향후 의료지리학의 역사적 전망을 제시하는 데 있다. 근대 의료지리학은 유럽이 열대 식민지를 통치하는 과정에서 필연적으로 직면하게 되었던 열대 질병을 통제하는 과정에서 의료지형학의 이름으로 형성되었다. 영국에서는 환경위생 개혁의 명분으로, 프랑스에서는 문명화 사명의 구호 아래, 독일에서는 지리의학의 개념으로 각각 발달해왔던 의료지리학은 20세기에 크게 질병 생태학과 의료체계의 두 가지 흐름으로 발달되었다. 본 논문은 질병의 지도에 함축된 권력의 의미를 강조하면서, 의료지리학, 보건지리학, 건강지리학의 공통 지점과 서로 다른 지향점을 제시하였다는 데 의의가 있다.

A typical tropical soil from the northeast of Brazil, where an important terrestrial oil field is located, was accidentally contaminated with a mixture of oil and saline production water. To study the bioremediation potential in this area, molecular methods based on PCR-DGGE were used to determine the diversity of the bacterial communities in bulk and in contaminated soils. Bacterial fingerprints revealed that the bacterial communities were affected by the presence of the mixture of oil and production water, and different profiles were observed when the contaminated soils were compared with the control. Halotolerant strains capable of degrading crude oil were also isolated from enrichment cultures obtained from the contaminated soil samples. Twenty-two strains showing these features were characterized genetically by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and phenotypically by their colonial morphology and tolerance to high NaCl concentrations. Fifteen ARDRA groups were formed. Selected strains were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing, and Actinobacteria was identified as the main group found. Strains were also tested for their growth capability in the presence of different oil derivatives (hexane, dodecane, hexadecane, diesel, gasoline, toluene, naphthalene, o-xylene, and p-xylene) and different degradation profiles were observed. PCR products were obtained from 12 of the 15 ARDRA representatives when they were screened for the presence of the alkane hydroxylase gene (alkB). Members of the genera Rhodococcus and Gordonia were identified as predominant in the soil studied. These genera are usually implicated in oil degradation processes and, as such, the potential for bioremediation in this area can be considered as feasible.

A nations' cultural heritage embodies its intellectual and spiritual contributions to its civilization of mankind. Cultural properties, whether tangible or intangible, represent both the essence and the basis of national cultures. Both the Philippines and South Korea's cultural heritages have survived various unfortunate chapters of their long histories. This study's purpose is to explore and evaluate the phenomenon of the architecture of Hahoe village in Andong city, Korea and Vigan city of Ilocos Sur, Philippines and to understand and cherish the cultural heritage of both countries. The historic city of Vigan has a unique architecture that blend Ilocano, Filipino, Chinese and Spanish styles in a tropical Asian setting, with a typical Spanish colonial urban layout as specified by the Ley Delas Indias. Hahoe village also represents a masterpiece of human creation and exhibit an important interchange of human values in architecture, monumental arts, town planning and landscape design. Though diverse in milieu, Hahoe village and Vigan city share a common phenomenon which is architecture that is called cultural heritage.

창경원은 일제강점기 창경궁에 박물관과 동 식물원이 계획되면서 조성된 유원지다. 오락거리를 갖추고 즐거움을 주는 공간인 유원지는 현실에서 벗어난 낙원의 이미지를 재현해왔다. 본 연구는 창경원의 조성 과정과 공간 변화를 고찰하고, 그 결과 조성된 낙원으로서 유원지의 경관과 문화적 특성을 도출했다. 창경원의 조성 의도와 과정을 문헌으로 고찰한 결과, 창경원은 조선의 식민지화 과정에서 순종의 즐거움을 위한 '어원'이자, '대중을 위한 오락장'으로 조성되었으며, 개원과 동시에 일반인들에게 개방되면서 누구나 입장료만 지불하면 이용할 수 있는 공중을 위한 공간이 되었다. 창경원의 공간 구성은 근대 도면과 사진을 비교 분석해 파악했다. 창경원의 배치를 살펴보면, 중앙에는 박물관 영역, 북쪽에는 식물원 영역, 남쪽에는 동물원 영역으로 구성되었다. 식물원 지구에는 대온실을 중심으로 한 식물배양실 등 열대 식물의 전시 및 관리 기능이 집약되었으며, 동물원 영역의 연못은 수금방양소로 만들고, 이 주변으로 각종 동물사와 동물 온실을 신축했다. 박물관 시설은 본관 건물뿐만 아니라, 기존의 전각들을 전시 시설로 흡수했으며, 전각 사이에는 서양식 정원을 조성해 꽃을 계획적으로 재배하기도 했다. 1930년대에 이르면 아동운동장이나 말운동장과 같이 어린이들을 위한 놀이 공간이 만들어졌다. 다음으로 창경원의 낙원 이미지와 유원지 문화를 고찰했다. 그 결과, 첫째, 창경원은 동 식물원을 통해 희귀한 동물과 식물들을 대중적으로 접할 수 있는 낙원의 이미지를 가지게 되었다. 이는 꽃관상이나 동물 구경과 같은 새로운 대중오락을 만들어냈다. 둘째, 창경원은 도시의 일상에서 탈출할 수 있는 '도시 안에서 도시 밖 자연을 간직한 낙원'을 상징하며, 도시민의 여가 공간이 되었다. 셋째, 벚꽃의 개화기에 야간 개방이 시작되면서 창경원에서는 조명 효과를 중심으로 '환상적인 밤 경관'이 연출되었다. 이러한 밤벚꽃놀이는 각종 공연, 음주 등과 결합되면서 선정적으로 변해갔고, 그 결과 창경원은 일탈의 낙원이라는 이미지를 가지게 되었다. 창경원은 다양한 성격의 시설이 혼재되면서 유원지라는 새로운 유형의 공간을 만들어내는데 기여했으며, 사람들은 유원지에서의 경험을 통해 새로운 오락 문화를 수용했다.
