Sha Zhi’s “Stein’s Third Central Asian Chinese Literature (Non-buddhist Parts)” (hereinafter referred to as “Stein”) interprets and publishes the Chinese documents obtained by Stein during the Third Western Regions (Central Asia) Expedition from 1913 to 1916 through photocopying of the original text and comparison of pictures and texts. Most of these interpretations are relatively accurate, and they are important results of the interpretation of documents unearthed in the Western Regions. Because most of these documents are handwritten documents and vulgar characters, it is still difficult to completely and accurately identify them. This article further examines the very few interpretations of Stein that are mistranscribed due to unclear terms, unidentified vulgar styles, and similar glyphs, in order to contribute to the study of documents excavated in the Western Regions.

The genus Hypsopygia was established by Hübner, 1825, with type species Phalaena costalis Fabricius, 1775. Hypsopygia is characterized by the elongated uncus and valva, and pointed saccus in the male genitalia. It consists of 105 described species (Nuss et al., 2003–2024) in the world, and 11 species have been recorded in Korea (Kim & Paek, 2020; Shin et al., 2023). In this study, we reported one newly recorded species in Korea. Illustrations of adults provided, with information of host plants of all examined species.

A total of 187 species are involved in the genus Pidonia Mulsant (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) worldwide, of which 174 species are distributed in Eurasia. Since Bates recorded P. (P.) gibbicollis in 1888, a total of 17 species have been recorded in Korea. After An & Kwon’s study on Korean Pidonia in 1991, no taxonomic study has been carried out for almost 30 years, making it difficult to identify the species due to their mutations. In this presentation, we provide an update on the taxonomic study of Korean Pidonia and report a newly recorded species, P. (P.) obscurior hakusana, in Korea.

Hengren is a poet of the Qing Dynasty, and has a volume called “Yue Shan Notes On Poets and Poetry”. The content includes evaluating the poems of Tang and Song dynasties, correcting the mistakes of the poems and expressing their views on controversial issues.On the aspect of poetics, he advocated studying Tang Dynasty poetry and paying attention to morality and hard work；In terms of poetry creation skills, he advocated dialectical study of Jiangxi poetry schoo l；The language of poetry should be fresh and mild；Evaluating other people's poems emphasizes examination and verification；Taking “The Literary Style Theory” as the main idea, we also accept the idea of “Charm Theory”. Poetry has gained special value, such as evaluating poetry by means of “Qianjia School” emphasis on examination and verification; It fully demonstrates the level of Han culture in the Qing Dynasty and confirms the importance Manchu attach to Han culture; Break through the “The Literary Style Theory” to “Tang” as the main limitation; “Yue Shan Notes On Poets and Poetry” played an active role in perfecting the thought of “the Literary Style Theory” in Qing Dynasty, correcting some theoretical defects of style school. This “Yue Shan Notes On Poets and Poetry” also has some shortcomings. For example, because he likes Du Fu, his evaluation of Li Bai is not objective.

The genera Spilonota Stephens, 1834 and Lepteucosma Diakonoff, 1971 are belonging to the tribe Eucosmini, subfamily Olethreutinae. In Korea, there are five species of Spilonota recorded: S. albicana (Motschulsky, 1866), S. eremitana Moriuti, 1972, S. lechriaspis Meyrick, 1932, S. ocellana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), and S. semirufana (Christoph, 1882). Only one species of Lepteucosma is recorded: L. huebneriana (Kocak, 1980). Both genera are agricultural pests that infest host plants belonging to the family Rosaceae, specifically causing damage to genus Malus (apple trees) and genus Rubus (blackberry plants), respectively. In this study, we provide a checklist of Korean Spilonota and Lepteucosma, with information of host plants and distribution for each examined species.

Eucosmini Meyrick, 1909 is one of the largest groups in subfamily Olethreutinae, with more than 1,650 species of 128 genera. In Korea, 96 species of 26 genera have been recorded by several authors (Park, 1981, Bae, 1992, et al.). In this study, we provide a brief overview and a checklist of Eucosmini, with illustrations of adults and genitalia for examined species.

본 논문은 미국의 미학자이자 미술비평가인 아서 단토가 2005년 기획한 전시 《9/11의 예 술》을 바탕으로 ‘예술의 종말’에 관한 그의 유명한 이론이 문화적 패러다임의 종말을 암시하는 현 실 정치의 상황 속에서 어떻게 재해석될 수 있는지 분석해 본다. 이를 위해 논자는 단토의 이론을 전기와 후기로 나눌 것이다. 전기는 주로 1980부터 2000년 사이에 이루어진 예술의 분석적 정 의와 헤겔적 역사주의에 입각한 ‘예술 종말론’의 시기이다. 후기는 2000년 이후, 칸트에 대한 재 해석을 통해 종말 이후 예술의 주관적 보편성과 숭고한 비형식적 특성을 강조하는 ‘종말 예술론’ 의 시기로 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 단토의 이론에 내재하는 예술 종말과 종말 예술의 유의미한 대비 를 통해 예술 종말론의 논점들–포스트 내러티브적 예술, 일상의 변용, 지각적 식별불가능성, 의 미의 육화 등이 9/11과 같은 대재난에 의해 야기된 동시대 문화의 종말적 상황 속에서 어떻게 재 해석 될 수 있는지 살펴본다. 이를 통해 본 논문은 단토의 예술 종말론이 간과한 종말 예술의 형식 적 특수성을 규정할 것이며, 이러한 종말적 형식들이 어떻게 재난적 (동)시대성을 반영하고 치유 해 가는지 논증할 것이다.

Around 40 years ago, in the mid-1980s, Swedish government approved the KBS-3 method for the direct disposal of spent nuclear fuels (SNF) in Sweden. Since then, this method has become a reference for many countries including Korea, Republic of. The main ideas of the KBS-3 method are to locate SNF at 500 m below the ground surface using a copper disposal canister and a bentonite buffer. In 2016, our government announced the National Plan (NP 2016) regarding the final management of high-level waste (HLW) in Korea. In 2019, new committee were organized to review the NP 2016, and they submitted the final recommendations to the government in 2021. Finally, the government announced the 2nd National Plan in December, 2021. So far, KAERI has developed the technologies related to the final management of SNF in two directions. One follows ‘direct disposal’ based on the KBS-3 concept, and the other ‘recycling’ based on ‘pyroprocessing-and-SFR’ (PYRO-SFR). Even though Posiva and SKB obtained the construction permits with the KBS-3 method in Finland and Sweden, respectively, there are still several technical obstacles to applying directly to our situations. Some examples are as follows: high burnup, huge amounts of SNF, and high geothermal gradient in Korean peninsula. In this work, we try to illustrate some limits of the KBS-3 method. Within our country, currently, the most probable disposal option is the KBS-3 type geological disposal, but no one knows what the best option will be in 20 or 30 years if those kinds of drawbacks are considered. That is, we compare the effects of the drawbacks using our geological data and characteristics of spent fuels. Last year, we reviewed alternative disposal concepts focusing on the direct disposal of SNF and compared the pros and cons of them in order to enhance the disposal efficiency. We selected four candidate concepts. They were multi-level disposal, deep borehole disposal, sub-seabed disposal and mined deep borehole matrix. As mentioned before, KAERI has developed a pyroprocessing technology based on the SFR to reuse fissile radionuclides in SNF. Even though we can consume some fissile nuclides such as 239Pu and 241Pu using PYRO-SFR cycle, there still remain many long-lived radionuclides such as 129I and 135Cs waiting for the final disposal. The authors review and propose several concepts for the future final management of the long-lived radionuclides.

한반도의 인삼은 중국의 비단과 차, 일본의 은과 함께 동아시아 상품교역네트워크를 구성하는 중요한 상품이었고, 지금도 그 상품가치를 높여가고 있다. 인삼이 해외 수출상품으로 확립된 것은 개성상인들의 노력에 힘입은바가 크고, 일제강점기에 활동한 개성상인 孫鳳祥과 孔聖學은 紅蔘과 白蔘 등 인삼제품을 해외시장에 수출한 주역이었다. 전통학문에 대한 깊은 소양을 갖춘 儒商 손봉상과 공성학은 중국, 대만과 홍콩 등지의 홍삼판매처를 시찰한 자신들의 활동을 『中遊日記』와 『香臺紀覽』에 남겼다. 그러나 개성상인들이 남긴 우리나라 최초의 해외시장 시찰기라 할 두 책을 텍스트로 한 홍삼판로 시찰에 대한 연구가 전무한 상황이라 이에 대한 연구가 시급하다. 본고는 일제강점기, 개성상인들의 중국 및 세계 인삼시장에 대한 인식과 함께 고려 인삼의 해외시장 개척에 대한 그들의 의지와 노력을 확인하고자 하였다.
