As gastroduodenoscopy performed more frequently, case reports of human echinostomiasis are increasing in Korea. A Korean woman presented at a local clinic with complaints of abdominal pain and discomfort that had persisted for 2 weeks. Under gastroduodenoscopy, two motile flukes were found attached on the duodenal bulb, and retrieved with endoscopic forceps. She had history of eating raw frog meat. The two flukes were identified as Echinostoma hortense by egg morphology, 27 collar spines with 4 end-group spines, and surface ultrastructural characters. This report may prove frogs to be a source of human echinostome infections.

Anatomical characters of the trunk woods of Theaceae, including six genera and seven species collected in Korea, were studied to elucidate the relationship among the genera of the family. Among three genera in Ternstoemieae, Eurya is the least specialized, and Cleyera is less specialized than Ternstroemia in respect to the specialization of the perforation plate and the ray. In Theoieae consisting of three genera, the most primitive one is Thea, and Camellia is more primitive than Stewartia in the trive, from the view of the bar arrangement in scalariform perforation plate and the angle of end wall to the vessel axis. The specialization of the perforation plate of vessel element suggests that Theoieae is more advanced group than Ternstroemieae.

This study investigates the portrait paintings of the Chosun period and the Death Records of the Chosun-dynasty Sillok in an effort to find new methods to apply to character design. The basis of this study were 42 figures from a group of portrait paintings from the late Goryeo period to the Chosun dynasty of the 25th King, Chul-Jong. First, Chinese letters illustrating the personalities in the Death Records were classified into five groups based on the Big Five theory, which divides personalities into the Big Five Personality Traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. Secondly, a representative facial image was created through a morphing technique after extracting the portraits using a method that relied on the high frequency of the appearance of specific Chinese letters related to each personality type.

By 2019, Korea is expected to be an aged society, age group of 65 and older being over 14% of the total population, considering their rapid increase today. The number of the elderly living alone or with his or her spouse will grow more and more. So this study was intended to find out the characters of elderly gathering houses in Japan through case study. The survey was taken by literatures and interview taken from the managers of the houses. It was selected the company which had branched 17 buildings all over the nation. There are three types in units in the building. One is self-supporting life house type. The other is personal care senior house type. Another is complex community house type. And the house have pointed on the participation in community. The company has attached great importance to form the co-operation network with the residents being shared same building. And it has aimed that the residents would feel being alive in their home.

This study was the explorable research on the actual condition comparatively analyzing values targeting the 1125 pairs of high school students and their parents. This study revelled the following results. First, significant differences were found in high school students'values according to their gender, class type, and residential area. Thus, values are shown differently by personal backgrounds or characters among peer group. Second, high school students and their parents revealed significant differences in values of life, home, society and nation.

The genus Prionchulus Cobb, 1916 represents a group of predaceous nematodes belonging to the family Mononchidae Chitwood, 1937, and is found worldwide. However, only five species have been reported thus far from Korea. Prionchulus oleksandri Winiszewska and Susulovsky, 2003 is reported for the first time from Korea, from sediments collected from the Nakdong River. This species is distinguished from other Prionchulus species by its truncated lip region with small cephalic papillae and refringens vaginae. In this study, morphological characters(detailed morphometrics) of P. oleksandri are described and illustrated using optical microscopy. DNA barcode sequence information (the D2-D3 region of 28S rDNA, 18S rDNA, and internal transcribed spacer rDNA) is also provided for the molecular identification of the species.

41 species of Korean freshwater Cladocera have been recorded up to now, but very few taxonomic works on this animal group have been carried out . As there is shortage the references useful to identifiy the Korean materials, the present key is made to fill it up. This key comprises 53 Korean species, of which 42 including 11 new records in Korea have been collected from Korean from 1978 to 1986. 42 species, except 11 species that could not be examined by the author , are all figured on the basis of their morphological characters.

The family Mesorhabditidae $Andr{\acute{a}}ssy$, 1976 is the most abundant group in Rhabditoidea and occurs all over the world. Over 85 valid species have been reported from Mesorhabditidae; however, only 2 species have been recorded in South Korea. In this study, Bursilla vernalis $Andr{\acute{a}}ssy$, 1982, Mesorhabditis inarimensis (Meyl, 1953) Dougherty, 1955, and M. minuta $Bostr{\ddot{o}}m$, 1991 belonging to the family Mesorhabditidae (Rhabditomorpha), are newly reported from South Korea. Species in this family are distinguished from other rhabditomorphs by a posteriorly located vulva and an unpaired prevulval female gonad. Details of the morphological characters and morphometrics of B. vernalis, M. inarimensis, and M. minuta are described and illustrated based on optical and/or scanning electron microscopy.

The genus Krenosmittia is a small group of Orthocladiinae, containing a total of twenty species in the world. Among them, six species were found in Japan, four species in China, and five species from the Russian Far East. This genus can be distinguished from other Orthocladiinae genera by the eyes bare, absence of acrostichals on thorax, costa strongly extended, anal vein ending proximal to FCu, squama bare, and having a strongly developed virga. We report three new species: K. danyangensis n. sp., K. triangulia n. sp., and K. pseudoannulata. The genus Krenosmittia is the first record in Korea. Line drawings of the diagnostic characters are provided for all the species recognized in this study.

Four species, Colpotrochia bifasciata, C. munda, C. pilosa sinensis, and C. uchidai, are newly recognized in South Korea. The genus Colpotrochia Holmgren, 1856 is a large group of the subfamily Metopiinae, in Ichneumonidae, and contains 62 described species worldwide. Among them, nine species have been recorded from South Korea. The South Korean Colpotrochia was started from by Uchida in 1930. A comprehensive historical review of the faunal study of this genus in South Korea have been done by Kim and Japanese entomologists in the period of 1955-1966. In this study, diagnoses of four unrecorded species and illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided. The current total is 13 species of this genus known from South Korea.
