Until recently, Japanese cuisine was known only for sushi and was still considered exotic outside the archipelago. However, today the number of specialized restaurants which serve other traditional foods is constantly increasing all over the world, making Japanese gastronomy one of the most influential. Japanese government has supported the promotion of national cuisine worldwide in different ways, making washoku (Japanese traditional cuisine) one of the main elements of Japan's soft power and cultural diplomacy. In this paper, I will analyse the connection between Japan's gastrodiplomacy, defined as the use of typical food and dishes as an instrument of soft power, and Japan's food security strategy. I will argue that the strategy of promotion of washoku worldwide is not a mere act of popularization of Japanese food but it is strictly related to the issue of the low self-sufficiency rate of the country, as the main objective of the government is the raise of food export, in order to foster agricultural production and improve self-sufficiency.

This survey paper aims to compare two significant figures in the history of Haute Couture e.g, Paul Poiret and Coco Chanel, who played a leading role between 1910 and 1930. It is found here that they have common features with respect to giving freedom to body through costume, enlarging Garconne Mode, creating more value of Costume Jewelry, exploiting advertisement strategy using models, proving exotic styles, and last but not the least contributing to Haute Couture. The research shows, however, that Poiret differs from Chanel in that he made most of various natural colors whereas Chanel used black or beige colors that had been rarely used woman wear previously. They also differed in using fabric, permitting copy by others, ingredients and bottling of perfume, meaning of silhouette. This kind of comparative research is expected to provide more understanding of fashion history and to contribute to more rigorous analysis of key success factors of designers in his or her age of fashion.

Facing the international open-trade of agricultural and livestock products, a basic strategy is urgently necessary to improve the domestic livestock industry to an international level. Price and quality competitions are the most important target in international trade. Improvement in productivity of livestock is the most important factor in price competition. In recent trade of livestock products, quality competition becomes more important than price competition in livestock products, and will be severer in the future. Basic strategies for higher productivity and safety of livestock products are listed as follows ： 1. Protection from exotic diseases 2. Eradication of indigenous diseases 3. Development of new methods and techniques for control of animal diseases 4. Application of hygiene and management techniques 5. Safety evaluation of feedstuffs and animal drugs, and 6. Development of technique and regulations for prevention and monitoring of residue of harmful chemicals.

콘크리트 호안블럭으로 처리된 하천의 제방 단면에 드릴로 구멍을 낸 후 하천변에 전형적으로 생육하는 갯버들과 버드나무를 도입하며 부분적 복원을 실행한 후 그 효과를 외래종 억제 측면에서 검토하였다. 복원 후 4년 경과 후 버드나무의 높이는 4cm 이상으로 자랐으나 갯버들의 높이는 2m 이내로 낮았다. 버드나무가 식재된 부분에서 외래종인 단풍잎돼지풀의 식피율은 5% 이내로 낮았으나 갯버들이 식재된 지소에서는 20%수준을 유지하였다. 복원된 지소와 미복원 지소에서 수집된 식생자료를 서열법으로 처리한 결과, 양지소는 서로 분리되어 서로 다른 종 조성을 유지하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 갯버들, 버드나무 및 단풍잎돼지풀의 지소별 출현 현황을 비교한 결과, 버드나무와 단풍잎돼지풀은 서로 대조적인 출현 추세를 보였지만 갯버들과 단풍잎돼지풀의 출현 현황은 그러한 경향이 약했다. 종 다양성은 이러한 결과로부터 하천복원에서 큰키나무 도입의 필요성을 알 수 있었다.

Graphene shows diverse novel physical properties arising from its peculiar electronic states, so called Dirac electrons. Especially, effect of magnetic field is very unique, exhibiting exotic Landau level (LL) splitting. LLs are substantially modified by spins of Dirac electrons and pseudo-spins. The degeneracy of LLs is lifted to show splitting by electron-electron interaction and by the Zeeman effect. We investigated the magneto-optical absorption of graphene subjected to ultra-high magnetic field. Samples were prepared by the CVD method deposited on GaAs and Quart substrate. We have confirmed existence of graphene on each substrate by the micro-Raman spectroscopy. Next, we conducted magneto-absorption measurements in magnetic field up to 120 T by the single-turn coil (STC) method. We could observe absorption peak at 65 T and 100 T, respectively, probably arising from the LL inter-band transitions.

Coulomb drag is an effective probe into interlayer interaction between two electron systems in close proximity. For example, it can be a measure of momentum, phonon, or energy transfer between the two systems. The most exotic phenomenon would be when bosonic indirect excitons (electron-hole pairs) are formed in double layer systems where electrons and holes are populated in the opposite layers. In this review, we present various drag phenomena observed in different double layer electron systems, e.g. GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures and two-dimensional material based heterostructures. In particular, we address the different behavior of Coulomb drag depending on its origin such as momentum or energy transfer between the two layers and exciton condensation. We also discuss why it is difficult to achieve electron-hole pairs in double layer electron systems in equilibrium.

Amynthas tralfamadore sp. nov. is described from the Mt Halla, Jeju Island biosphere exhibition housed at NIBR Incheon. This species' taxonomy is problematical since it is similar to Amynthas masatakae (Beddard, 1892) from Japan, itself previously reported from Korea and at one time associated with Amynthas campestris (Goto & Hatai, 1898) and A. parvicystis (Goto & Hatai, 1899), all three variously implicated in prior A. robustus (Perrier, 1872) along with Amynthas aspergillum (Perrier, 1872). Based on reinspection of the London lectotype of A. masatakae-here designated and sketched for the first time-the current solution is for maintenance of all five taxa separately. A closely-related Japanese species-Metaphire ryunome sp. nov.-is comparable to Korean Metaphire reisuiensis (Kobayashi, 1938) comb. nov. Another specimen was identified as Amynthas micronarius (Goto & Hatai, 1898), a new record for Korea. It matches the newly-designated neotype (Tokyo NMST An446) and an annotated synonymy is provided; however, erstwhile synonyms, Amynthas shimaensis (Goto & Hatai, 1899) and A. yamizoyamensis (Ohfuchi, 1935) combs. novae, are briefly redescribed and provisionally restored to the Japanese list. mtDNA COI-5P barcode analyses support species identifications.

An earthworm survey of Busan metropolitan area unearthed a dozen taxa in four families (including Enchytraeidae). Members of mostly common, cosmopolitan earthworm species-complexes were: Drawida cf. koreana Kobayashi, 1938, Amynthas cf. corticis (Kinberg, 1867), Aporrectodea trapezoides (Dug$\grave{e}$s, 1828) and Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826). Also found were Amynthas hupeiensis (Michaelsen, 1895), A. masatakae (Beddard, 1892) and Metaphire ryunome Blakemore, 2012 - the latter a new Korean record. New taxa are: moniligastrid Drawida songae yeongdo subsp. n.; megascolecid Amynthas carnosus roki subsp. n. which is compared to nominal taxon A. carnosus (Goto and Hatai, 1899) from Japan, to A. carnosus monstriferus (Kobayashi, 1936) stat. n. from Korea and to A. lichuanensis Wang and Qiu, 2005 stat. n. from China; plus lumbricid Eisenia japonica vaga subsp. n. deemed an objectively-based molecular taxon on its unique DNA COI gene barcode. Restoration of Eisenia xanthurus (Templeton, 1836) for E. andrei is mooted (in Appendix).

The present design, which is English Zone Development Project for 'G' Elementary School at Seo gu, Incheon, contained various booths for experiential learning corners as well as spaces of teaching learning through group study, dramas and role plays, breaking away from the structure and atmosphere of traditional language labs, and at the same time it include a school building as an affiliated space where the whole students can gather for discussion and learning. The general design concept adopted the atmosphere of an exotic street, installing five theme booths (airport, bank, hospital, book/game store and shop) along the wall and applying the image of road to the floor in order to perform role plays. The blackboard and furniture were also designed to produce the atmosphere of street so that elementary students take interest and actively participate in learning.
