Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been postulated to play a central role in the development of diabetic complications. A variety of different agents that inhibit AGEs have been under investigation. In this study, 62 herbal medicines from China and Vietnam have been investigated with an in vitro evaluation system using AGEs formation inhibitory activity. Of these, 5 herbal medicines ($IC_{50}$ < $5{\mu}g/ml$) were found to have significant AGEs formation inhibitory activity. Particularly, herbal medicines Albizia odoratissima (twigs and leaves), Rhododendron spinuliferum (twigs and leaves), Dioscorea cirrhosa (stems and leaves), Illicium verum (stems and leaves) and Aglaia perviridis (stems and leaves), showed more potent inhibitory activity (approximately 16-26 fold) than the positive control aminoguanidine ($IC_{50}=76.47{\mu}g/ml$).

1990년대 중반 이후 초국적 결혼의 급증은 한국 사회에 새로운 과제를 던져주고 있다. 이 같은 맥락에서 논문은 초국적 결혼이주에 의한 한국의 새로운 민족성의 지리적 차원을 검토한다. 중국과 베트남과같은 동남아시아 국가들로부터 여성 결혼이주자의 급증은 밑으로부터의 지구화의 차원에서 이해될 수 있으며, 그런 점에서 한국의 추세는 대만이나 일본과 유사하다. 그러나 한국은 이들 국가와 몇 가지 점에서 차이를 나타낸다. 대만이 2003년 이후 결혼이주자가 감소한 것처럼, 한국 역시 2006년 이후 여성 결혼이주자가 감소하는 추세이다. 외국인 신부와 결혼하는 비율은 대체로 농촌이 도시보다 두 배 가량 높다. 따라서 농촌에 외국인 신부가 많다고 느낄 수 있지만, 실제로 절대 수에서는 도시에 거주하는 이주여성이 훨씬 많다. 특히, 조선족과 중국인 결혼이주 여성의 도시 지역 거주비율은 대단히 높다. 그러나 출신국적별로 보면 이들이 집중하는 지역에 상당한 차이가 있다. 이런 점에서 결혼이주여성에 의해 전개되고 있는 한국 사회의 신민족성 지리는 다면적이다.

During these days of new understanding, western medicine has developed remarkably and a revaluation of traditional medicine has been achieved. This appears to have resulted from the sound criticisms of what western medicine has achieved up to now; excessive subdivisions of clinical medicine, severe toxicity of chemical drugs, lack of understanding about patients complaints which cannot be understood objectively, and etc. It is thought that the role of traditional medicine will be more important in the future than it is now. Someone said that the research methods of traditional medicine depends on the way of experimental science too much. That there was no consideration of a system for traditional medicine and the critic also went so far as to assert that in some cases the characteristics of eastern ideas is to permit irrationalism itself. In view of this thinking, the term traditional medicine seems to have been used somewhat too vaguely. However, traditional medicine is a medical treatment which has existed since before the appearance of modern medicine and it was formed from a traditional culture with a long history. One form of traditional medicine, oriental medicine based upon ancient Chinese medicine, was received in such countries as Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Tibet, and Mongolia. Oriental medicine then developed in accordance with its own environment, race, national characteristics, and history. Although there are some simultaneous differences between them, three nations in Eastern Asia; Korea, Japan, and China, have especially similar features in their clinical prescriptions and medical literature. These three nations are trying to understand each others unique traditional medicines through numerous exchanges. Even though many differences in their ways of studying have developed over history exist, recent academic discussions have been made to explore new ways into oriental medicine. Therefore a comparative study of oriental medicine has gradually been thought to be more important. In Korea the formation of a new future-oriented paradigm for oriental medicine is being demanded. The purpose of the new paradigm is to create a new recognition of traditional culture which creates an understanding of oriental medicine to replace the diminished understanding of oriental medicine that was brought about by the self-denial of traditional culture in modem history and cultural collisions between oriental and occidental points of view. Therefore, to make a new paradigm for oriental medicine which is suitable for these days, and fortifies the merit of oriental medicine while compensating its defects, the author has compared the characteristics of oriental medicines in Korea, Japan, and China. The conclusions of this research are as follows: 1. The fundamental differences of the traditional medicines of these three nations are caused by the differences in the systems of Naekyung and Sanghannon. 2. The pattern-identification of illnesses is generally divided into two categories; the pattern identification of Zang-Fu and the pattern identification of prescription. 3. There are many differences in the definition of terms, such as Yin and Yang, Deficiency and Excess, and etc. 4. Chinese traditional medicine has some new concepts about pattern identification and epidemic febrile disease. 5. Japanese traditional medicine has some characteristics about pattern identification of the whole bodys condition and signs of abdominal palpation. 6. In terms of the effects of herbal drugs, Chinese traditional medicine attaches great importance to the experiential efficacy of the herb, and Japanese traditional medicine is taking a serious view of the effects of experimental medical actions.

China's proposal of the CAFTA (China-ASEAN Free Trade Area) in 2001 prompted a great debate about whether China was a trade competitor of ASEAN, given their similarity in economic development levels and trade/export structures. That Beijing shifted its focus on economic cooperation from the international level to the regional level led to its proposal of the CAFTA. As the Framework Agreement (Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation between China and ASEAN) showed, Beijing's careful consideration for four newer ASEAN members (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) intended not only to help all ASEAN members develop economically, but also to narrow the economic gap existing between them and the six old ASEAN members; in return, China was recognized as a full market economy, which it is not currently recognized within the framework of the WTO. The substantial rise in bilateral trade and the structural changes of the trade in goods between China and ASEAN member nations after 2001 proves that ASEAN benefited more from the CAFTA, particularly when the areas where ASEAN had the comparative advantages were designated as the priority cooperation areas between China and ASEAN. In sum, similarities existing in economic development levels and industrial structures between China and ASEAN made them natural economic competitors. However, closer studies of trade in goods of S1-7, S1-6 and S1-0 reveal that China acted as an increasingly complementary trade partner of ASEAN after 2001.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and diet and to identify sociodemographic factors related with health behaviors among Asian immigrant women in Korea by ethnicity. Methods: A cross-sectional study using structured questionnaires was conducted in 396 immigrant women from China, Vietnam, and the Philippines to Korea through international marriage. The associations between health behaviors and sociodemographic characteristics were assessed using multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: The prevalence of current smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and abnormal diet were 4.2%, 7.6%, 49.3%, and 31.9%, respectively. The prevalence of current smoking (7.6%) and physical inactivity (56.7%) was highest in Chinese immigrant women. However, the prevalence of current smoking (2.7%) and alcohol consumption (3.8%) were lowest in Vietnamese immigrant women. Immigrant women who had been living in Korea for a long time since immigration (${\geq}$ 5 years) had a higher prevalence of alcohol consumption compared to those of who had been living in Korea for a short time since immigration (< 5 years) (OR=2.95, 95% CI=1.74-5.01). Conclusion: Health promotion programs for immigrant women should be differentiated based on health behaviors and their related factors by ethnicity.

This study examines the demand system of shrimp imported from top four countries and domestically produced by using AIDS (Almost Ideal Demand System) model. Top four import countries are Vietnam, Ecuador, China, and Malaysia based on the value of imports in 2021. As results of the analysis, the demand system of shrimp turn out to be below. First, the relationship of domestic shrimp and imported shrimp (Ecuadorian and Vietnamese) is identified as complements or substitutes depending on whether the income effect is considered. This result implies that imported shrimp supplements domestic supply against excess demand while homogeneous shrimp products competes with domestic shrimp in fish market. Second, the relationship among imported shrimps turned out to be both substitutes and complements. Especially, the Vietnamese shrimp is complementary with Chinese and Malaysian shrimp, but substitutes of Ecuadorian. It is assumed that adjoining Asian countries shares similar shrimp species and processing system which differentiates from Ecuadorian. Finally, the study included quarter as dummy variable and GDP as instrumental variable of expenditure in the model. The result confirmed that domestic shrimp is highly on demand during the main production season while imported shrimp is mainly demanded during the rest of the season.

이 논문에서는 한국과 베트남의 사회 문화적인 이해와 상호 의사의 소통이 전제되지 않는 결혼의 위험성을 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 또 이혼한 후, 한국국적을 취득하지 못하여 베트남으로 귀환하는 이주여성이, 법적 조치를 완전하게 마무리 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하여 이들의 베트남에서의 재정착에 도움을 주고자 하였다. 전통적으로 자녀양육에 대한 집착이 강한 베트남여성이 모성본능을 뒤로 한 채 어쩔 수 없이 베트남으로 귀환하는, 한국에 남겨둔 한국인 자녀의 어머니에 대한 최소한의 윤리적 책임이 있기 때문이다. 구체적 방안으로 첫째, 혼인성립 절차를 강화한다. 베트남은 결혼 가족법 제14조에 의한 법집행을 엄격히 하고, 우리나라는 결혼사증 발급절차를 통하여 혼인의 진정성과 지속성을 담보하도록 하는 것이 바람직하다. 둘째, 국제결혼 당사자의 소양교육을 강화한다. 결혼이주를 희망하는 결혼당사자들이 각각 상대방 언어로 소통할 수 있는 능력을 함양하고 서로 상대국의 사회와 문화를 이해하도록 교육프로그램을 강화한다. 국제결혼중개가 베트남에서 불법적임을 감안하여, 한국과 베트남의 비영리단체를 중심으로 베트남에서 결혼이주희망 여성에 대한 한국어교육과 한국의 문화를 교육시킨 후 한국남성들과 교제를 할 수 있는 기회를 적극적으로 제공하는 방안을 강구할 필요가 있다. 향후 베트남결혼이주여성의 행복한 결혼생활을 담보할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 이들이 한국내에 정착하는 과정에서 지불하게 될 사회적 경제적 비용을 절감할 수 있으며, 베트남결혼이주여성의 인권보호에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 셋째, 베트남결혼이주여성에게 책임없는 사유로 혼인이 단절되는 경우 간이귀화 요건을 완화하여야 한다. 남편의 사망이나 폭행을 피하기 위한 가출 등 이주여성에게 책임없는 사유로 이혼하는 경우, 이주여성에게 간이귀화의 요건을 완화하는 것이 합리적이다. 넷째, 이혼 후 베트남으로 귀환하는 여성들의 재정착에 장애가 되는 호적문제를 해결하기 위한 입법적 지원이 필요하다. 이혼한 베트남결혼이주여성의 귀환에 따르는 법률적 미비는 이들의 베트남 재정착에 큰 방해가 된다. 경제력 법률적 능력의 부족으로 이혼에 따르는 호적정리 하지 못한 경우, 베트남 정부뿐만 아니라 한국정부도 적극적으로 이의 정리를 위해 제도적 재정적 지원을 할 수 있는 방안을 모색하여 최소한의 윤리적 책임을 다 해야 할 것이다. 우선 우리나라는 대법원 등록예규 제361호에 준한 '한국남성과 베트남여성의 이혼에 관한 절차'를 제정해 이혼에 필요한 서류의 상호교부를 제도화함으로서 스스로 호적정리를 할 수 있도록 한다.

On October 27, 2015, USS Lassen(DDG82), a 9,200 ton class Aegis destroyer of the United States Navy, began its operations within 12 nautical miles of Subi Reef, one of the seven artificial islands that China has built and claimed sovereignty over. The maneuver was joined by anti-submarine patrol airplanes such as P-8A and P-3. The White House press secretary mentioned that the President of the United States approved the operation. In response, China announced that it warned the US Navy ship about the 'illegal violation' by sending two destroyers(PLAN Lanzhou and Taizhou). This event represents a close call case where tension between the United States and China in the South China Sea might have been elevated to a conflict between the two navies. Moreover, considering that this happened only one month after Chinese president Xi's state visit to the United States, the event shows that the positions of the two countries have become starkly different to the extent that they are so hard to be reconciled. The United States' position is different from those of Vietnam and the Philippines. Countries like Vietnam and the Philippines have been directly involved in disputes with regard to sovereignty claims across the waters in the South China sea. As for the United States, being a third party in the disputes, it still cannot be a by-stander watching the whole waters in the region fall under the influence of China. Accordingly, the United States maintains that all countries bear the rights of innocent passage and military operations in the Exclusive Economic Zones(EEZ) as stipulated by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea(UNCLOS). In contrast, China claims that, historically, the South China sea has been part of China's territorial waters, and that foreign countries are not allowed to conduct military operations within the waters. It strongly accuses that such military operations are illegal. Against this background, this paper tracks the different positions of the United States and China on the issues regarding the South China sea. It also carefully looks at the possibility that, in the process of dealing with the issues, the two countries may get into an armed conflict as the phrase 'Thucydides Trap' predicts.
