『城北地帶』는 蘇童의 ‘참죽나무 거리 텍스트’ 중의 대표작으로 작가가 자신의 유소년 시절을 反芻하며, 상처와 결핍으로 얼룩진 성장과정을 復原해 낸 자전적 장편소설이다. 蘇童은 문혁이라는 억압된 사회구조에서 문혁이 개인의 삶에 어떻게 작동했고, 어떤 상처와 흉터를 남겼는가에 주목한다. 이는 문혁이라는 암흑의 터널 속에서 비정상적인 성장통을 겪어야했던 청소년들의 결핍과 상처에 대한 穿鑿으로 이어진다. 본 논문은 가정과 학교, 사회로부터 소외되고 방치된 채 방황과 일탈로 점철된 성장통을 겪는 청소년 인물형상을 중심으로, 그들 내면의 상처와 결핍, 고독과 소외, 좌절과 절망감을 고찰한다. 청소년 인물형상을 둘러싼 불투명한 잿빛 미래와 비극적 파국을 통해서, 蘇童은 청춘과 꿈을 박탈해가고 거세해버린 억압적 문혁의 시대와 그 역사적 과오와 상처에 대해 작가로서의 비판적 성찰을 보여준다.

This study explored spatiotemporal variability of water quality in correspondence with hydrometeorological factors in the five stations of Paldang Reservoir located in the Han River during 4 years from May 2012 to December 2015. Variability of basic water quality factors were largely related with seasonal fluctuations of hydrology. Temperature stratification occurred in the deep dam station, and prolonged hypoxia was observed during the draught year. Nitrogen nutrients were increased with decreasing inflow in which changing pattern of NH4 reversed to NO3 by the effect of treated wastewater effluent. Phosphorus increase was manifest during the period of high inflow or severe drought. Chl-a variation was reversely related with both flow change and AGP (algal growth potential) variations. Our study demonstrated that water quality variability in Paldang Reservoir was largely attributed to both natural and operational changes of inflow and outflow (including water intake) based on major pollution source of the treated wastewater (total amount of 472×103 m3 d-1) entering to the water system from watershed. In the process of water quality variability, meteorological (e.g., flood, typhoon, abnormal rainfall, scorching heat of summer) and hydrological factors (inflow and discharge) were likely to work dynamically with nutrients pulse, dilution, absorption, concentration and sedimentation. We underline comprehensive limnological study related to hydro-meteorolology to understand short- and long-term water quality variability in river-type large reservoir and suggest the necessity of P-free wastewater treatment for the effective measure of reducing pollution level of Paldang drinking water resource.

본 논고는 기독교 선교 전략을 모색하는 차원에서 다민족, 다문화 지역에 대한 선교 전략을 어떤 방식으로 접근할 것인가, 그리고 어떻게 그에 합당한 전략을 모색할 것인가를 러시아연방 내의 북카프카스 지역을 사례로 들어 논증한다. 즉 하나의 국가 내에서 다문화 이해를 통한 선교 전략에 대한 논의를 러시아연방 북카프카스 지역의 인문지리, 역사, 정치적 상황을 통해 통찰적으로 분석하는 내용이다. 본 논고에서는 북카프카스의 다민족 국가의 선교 접근 전략을 북카프카스를 중심으로 살펴보는 것과 동시에 북카프카스에 속하는 체첸 민족을 북카프카스 민족 그룹의 대표 주자로 선정하여 체첸 민족을 중심으로 역사, 정치, 사회적 관계를 다루고 있다. 하나의 소수 민족을 연방 내에서 분석하는 것은 다민족 선교에 매우 주요한 관점을 제공한다고 판단된다. 체첸이 소연방 해체 이후 독립을 추구하였는데, 이 사실은 다민족 국가에 속하는 민족 그룹의 역사적, 정치적 특성들을 연구할 수 있다는 점에서 다민족, 다문화 선교전략의 모델이 될 수도 있겠다. 본 논고는 북카프카스 인문지리 특성, 그리고 체첸공화국의 인문지리, 역사적 기원, 러시아 민족과의 관계, 체첸 전쟁 등 현재의 정치적 상황을 통해서 다민족 국가의 선교전략을 도출하는 내용으로 구성되었다. 본 논고에서 필자는 다민족 국가의 선교전략은 치밀한 지역연구를 통해서 그 전략적 방향성을 재고해야 한다는 입장을 피력하였으며, 민족의 종합적 상황을 통해 구체적인 선교전략을 추진해야 한다는 당위성을 제시하였다.

As S. Korea is becoming an “aged society”, workers in the country would be exposed to higher risk of workplace injuries due to their reducing work abilities as they are getting old. To identify the relationship between the work ability and the incident rate of workplace injuries, the work ability index (WAI) scores were surveyed from 409 workers occupied in different manufacturing industries reside on north GyoengBuk area. The workplace injury statistics in the year of 2010 for the corresponding industries were analyzed and summarized with the WAI scores by age groups, years of service, and sizes of business. The results showed the WAI scores of the workers occupied in the higher risk of workplace injury was lower than that of the workers of the lower risk. It means the lower the WAI score, the higher the chance of being injured during the task. It is concluded that appropriate correlation exists between the WAI scores of workers and the incident rate of workplace injury. It is recommended to administrate individual work abilities of aged workers in order to keep low rate of workplace injuries in upcoming aged and highly aged society.

The safety of the future mankind becomes a world issue due to the climate change driven by global warming. It is inevitable to observe everywhere in daily life the impact of climate change. The level of emergency differs between long-term, mid-term, and short-term, which depends on situation. The impact of climate change in daily life is fairly diverse, and therefore multiple research units of different backgrounds often work together on the measuring and forecasting of the impacts. This paper aims to study the potentially useful methods to analyze and forecast the impact on the changes in transport activities of Canadian Inuit. This is part of the research on the climate change’s impact on the Northern Sea Route area. Either natural or man-made change of external environment forces human to adjust their daily life in order to maintain their utility level of life. Individual or individuals’ group react to the external impact, the way of which differ from others. This fact calls a simulation research on the whole set of input-intermediate process-output. Agents representing individuals or certain subpopulation are given a set of rules to react to stimulus and interact with other agents behave in the realm of simulation. This paper provides methodological discussions on how analyzing and forecasting future change in transport activities in response to climate change. The discussion goes around activity-based approaches that are recently popular in urban planning and transportation planning among available simulation approaches. This paper then discusses the implication and future research agenda.

The concentration of heavy metal were studied for the estimation of quality in herbal medicines which is Bupleuri Radix, Paeoniae Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma and Astragali Radix in products of north Gyeongbuk area. Also, we collected soils from several area in Gyeongbuk, and determined heavy metal concentration of soils by ICP. We compared with herbal medicines in products of Gyeongbuk and their soils. The average levels of heavy metal of herbal medicines in Gyeongbuk area are as follows : Mercury is 0.037㎎/㎏, Chromium is 0.093㎎/㎏, Nickel is 0.108㎎/㎏, Copper is 0.475㎎/㎏, Zinc is 3.14㎎/㎏, Manganese is 1.52㎎/㎏, Iron is 7.83㎎/㎏, and Cadmium, Lead and Arsenic is not detected. It was very lower in concentrations than those of average Korea area. For the heavy metals contents of Gyeongbuk area, in Gong Jung Ri, represented the higher level, it may be due to a near the road. The Cd contents in soil was not a wide difference. For the As and Pb contents in soil, Song Sa Ri (Bupleuri Radix) represented the higher level(0.68㎎/㎏, 1523㎎/kg). Correlation coefficients of heavy metal contents in cultured herbal medicines and their soils did not give reproducible results. But the degree of correlation between a few heavy metal contents of Dioscoreae Rhizoma and their soil showed the good transfer from the soil.

We compared with heavy metal concentration of herbal medicines in products of Gyeongbuk and the other area of Korea. The concentration of heavy metal were studied for the estimation of quality in herbal medicines which is Bupleuri Radix, Paeoniae Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma and Astragali Radix in products of north Gyeongbuk area. The average levels of heavy metal of herbal medicines in Gyeongbuk area are as follows：Mercury is 0.037㎎/㎏, Chromium is 0.093㎎/㎏, Nickel is 0.108㎎/㎏, Copper is 0.475㎎/㎏, Zinc is 3.14㎎/㎏, Manganese is 1.52㎎/㎏, Iron is 7.83㎎/㎏, and Cadmium, Lead and Arsenic is not detected. It was very lower in concentrations than those of average Korea area. Therefore, Gyeongbuk area appear to be more proper to cultivated land than other area. Minerals such as Ca and K were extracted more than Na and P in herbal medicines products of Gyeongbuk respectively. Minerals and heavy metal concentrations distributed in herbal medicines were analyzed. Little or no relationship was observed between minerals and heavy metals.

To study the intruded phenomena of North Pacific Ocean around Boso peninsular, water property distribution in the adjacent seas to Japan is studied using the hydrographic data obtained by Japan Maritime Agency and Japan Fisheries Agency from 1973 to 1996, The scattering of water type in T-S diagram is relatively small in the Kuroshio Region. Both the envelopes of saline side and of fresh side of the scattered data points shifts gradually from saline side to fresh side as the observation Line moves from southwest to northeast. In mixed water region, the scattering of water type increases rapidly as the observation line moves north; the envelope of fresh cold side moves towards fresh cold side much faster than that of saline side. This suggests that the water does not advect along the salinity minimum layer, but the salinity minimum layer can be understood as a boundary of two different waters aligned vertically. We defined the typical water masses as the Oyashio Water and the Kuroshio Water. The water mass below the salinity minimum layer may be created by isopycnal mixing of these two water masses with a fixed mixing rate. While the water mass above the salinity minimum cannot be created simply by isopycnal mixing. The salinity minimum layer may be eroded from upper side due to active minxing processes in the surface layer, while the water of the salinity minimum layer moves gradually southward. This appears to give an explanation why the thermosteric anomaly value at salinity minimun decereases towards south.
