  • Many studies on climate change and its impacts use a single climate scenario. However, one climate scenario may not accurately predict the potential impacts of climate change. We estimated temperature and precipitation changes by 2070 using 17 of the CMIP5 Global Climate Models (GCMs) and two emission scenarios for three spatial domains: the Asian continent, six East Asia countries, and South Korea. For South Korea, the range of increased minimum temperature was lower than for the ranges of the larger regions, but the range of projected future precipitation was higher. The range of increased minimum temperatures was between $1.3^{\circ}C$ and $5.2^{\circ}C$, and the change in precipitation ranged from - 42.4 mm (- 3.2%) and + 389.8 mm (+ 29.6%) for South Korea. The range of increased minimum temperatures was between $2.3^{\circ}C$ and $8.5^{\circ}C$ for East Asia countries and was between $2.1^{\circ}C$ and $7.4^{\circ}C$ for the Asian continent, and the change in precipitation ranged from 28.8 mm (+ 6.3%) and 156.8 mm (+ 34.3%) for East Asia countries and from 32.4 mm (+ 5.5%) and 126.2 mm (+ 21.3%) for the Asian continent. We suggest climate change studies in South Korea should not use a single GCM or only an ensemble climate model's output and we recommend to use GFDL-CM3 and INMCM4 GCMs to bracket projected change for use in other national climate change studies to represent the range of projected future climate conditions.

  • Major advances in the management of anorectal malformations have been achieved during the last 20 years. Alberto Pena introduced the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) in 1982. He divided all the sphincteric muscles at the exact posterior midline and fully exposed the crucial anatomy. He was able to manage the associated fistula under direct vision with minimal urinary tract injury. The rectum could be placed in the middle of the sphincteric muscle complex. Even with PSARP by Alberto Pena himself, only 37.5% of all cases were considered totally continent. Anorectal malformation is still acontinuing challenge for the pediatric surgeons.

After ward, it is convinced that spreaded to China continent, Korean peninsula md Japan. I have published a book named "Jang it′s History Culture and Industry" in 1999. in which illustrated the history of soysauce, but I cannot explain the details of history of Japanese soysauce because of deficiency of the data, so I hope a complement.

  • Soil dust particles transported from loess regions of the Asian continent, called Asian dust, highly influences the air quality of north-eastern Asia and the northern Pacific Ocean. The effects of these dust storms, on the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol particles with different size, was investigated. Measurements of size distributions of total aerosol and major ion species were carried out on Jeju Island, Korea. (omitted)

  • Traditional foods of Che Ju Do, an island located on south sea of Korean peninsula, were composed of moutaineous and coastal food. According to the review of historical records and evidences, ancestors of Che Ju Do island had consumed starchy root or marine food such as arrow root, bracken root, kelp, crab and so on. There are more than 500 kinds of traditional foods in Che Ju island, but most of them were poorly processed or cooked compared to that of the continent of the peninsula.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the men's costumes of the ruling class of the Heian period by studying the costumes demonstrated in the ${\ll}$Won-si-mul-eo-heo-gwon${\gg}$, a picture album of the Heian period. The findings of this study are as follows. The costumes shown in the ${\ll}$Won-si-mul-eo-heo-gwon${\gg}$, can be classified into two types. One of the types is the costumes that were newly made in the Heian period such as Jik-eui, Su-eui, Ha-seub, Sok-dae-jang-sok. The other type, period including Omoja, Ji-gwan, Pyo-go is the costumes that were made by modifying the costumes of the previous. The costumes of the Heian period were evolved into a new type of outfit by changing the way of wearing them, their form, and their color. The costumes became various in types, became bigger in form, and used various colors. As a result, the costumes of the Heian period were developed into more colorful and fancier compared to those of the previous period. The costumes of the Heian period can be interpreted as japanized-embracing and japanizing the culture of the continent-costumes of the previous period rather than as simply copying the costumes of the continent. The driving force of this phenomenon can be analyzed as the effect of japanization that was widespread in the culture in general of the Heian period. This japanization made it possible to create peculiar and genuine costumes of the Heian period.

  • The 'discovery' or 'conquest' of the New World in 1492 was the starting point of world history that irrevocably changed the fate of the Latin American continent. The global stream known as 'Columbian Exchange', which was the widespread inter-continental contacts, inter-civilizational conflicts, or bilateral communication, has rendered multifarious effects throughout many historical periods up to the very contemporary time. The propagation of Catholicism initiated along with this 'discovery' transformed Latin America of nowadays in the region that has the biggest Catholic population in the world. The previous studies in Korea regarding Latin American Catholicism has focused on the spread of Catholicism in relation to the European colonization, rather than analyzing the concrete and detailed ways in which Catholicism exerted tremendous influences in the whole continent. They were less attentive to various historical contexts in which the diffusion of Catholicism differed greatly according to cultural landscapes and political specificities. Thus, this essay attempts to examine the diffusion of Catholicism from the perspective of confrontation between royal authorities and the power of church. The essay points out that the royal communities and institutional authorities which facilitated the intial process of Catholic evangelization maintained antagonistic relationship with ecclesial powers. By delving into the gradual transformation of church systems, it reveals that Catholicism in Latin America became a major field for conquerors in power to attain economic and political dominance. And unlike the initial submission and hospitality, the religious convert of the indigenous people attested to the violent inhumanity and opposition. Therefore, the essay aims to pave a clearer way to the understanding of complicated dynamics and conflicts between Catholicism in Latin America and the establishment of Spanish colonization.
