독도는 영국의 호넷호와 프랑스의 콩스텅틴호에 의해 발견된 1855년을 기점으로 서구 세계에 명확하게 인식되기 시작하였다. 기존에는 1855년에 이들 서양 전함에 의해 발견되었다는 사실만 알려졌을 뿐 구체적인 발견 과정에 대해서는 검토되지 않았다. 따라서 이 연구는 호넷호와 콩스텅틴호가 크림전쟁 당시 러시아 함대를 추격하기 위해 파견되었던 역사적 맥락을 근거로 이들 영불 연합함대의 동해진출 배경, 호넷 호와 콩스텅틴 호의 독도발견 과정을 세계사적 관점에서 재조명함으로써 당시에 인식되었던 독도의 지정학적 중요성 및 독도가 서구의 근대 지도제작에 반영되었던 과정을 밝히는 것이 목적이다. 연구결과, 첫째, 크림전쟁 당시 영불 연합함대는 일본 홋카이도의 하코다테를 근거지로 삼아 러시아 함대를 추격하기 위한 작전을 전개하였다. 둘째, 독도는 영불 연합함대의 작전 동선에서 위치상의 전략적 중요성 및 항로 상의 이정표로서의 가치가 부각되었다. 셋째, 1855년 무렵, 프랑스와 영국의 해군성은 독도의 위치와 특징에 관해 비중있게 다루었으며, 영국, 프랑스, 러시아, 미국 등의 국가들을 중심으로 독도에 관한 정보가 공유됨에 따라 독도의 존재는 전 세계에 공식화되었다.

The banded greenhouse thrips, Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter, 1891) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae: Panchaetothripinae), has been reported as a pest on many kinds of crops such as banana, sugar beet, eggplant, green pepper, and greenhouse ornamentals. Originally from the African continent, the species has expanded its distribution worldwide, including North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In our country it was recorded for the first time by Woo in 1973, with six females from Jeju island, but after that there was no subsequent report about occurrence and damage until present. Recently, it was rediscovered in private homes, severely damaging to ornamental plants, angel’s trumpet (Brugmansia suaveolens) and ivy (Hedera helix) in Gyeonggi-do and Jeollabuk-do. For identification and future management of this exotic pest, representative morphological characteristics and already known biological informations are provided.

In this paper, I argue that W. B. Yeats’s pursuit of universalism was rekindled by his rediscovery of the East through Tagore. Yeats’s political experiences during the 1910s also influenced his fascination with universalism. I will first discuss the significance of Yeats’s fascination with Tagore in relation to his rediscovery of the importance of East, particularly India, not only for spiritual reasons, but also for political reasons. That is, Tagore ultimately gave Yeats an opportunity to see India as a place to reconcile his split allegiance to both Romanticism and nationalism, and to art and politics. The East, for Yeats, is the place to swerve from his Romantic predecessors for political reasons. At this time, a return to East was especially important to him because it also offered a psychological vindication for his political setback—being attacked for his anti-nationalism—during the Playboy riots. That is, the pursuit of Eastern values, particularly Indian values, became his way of fighting colonialism, as well as for finding spiritual wholeness. By the time Yeats returned to the East, Yeats also began to witness the most turbulent and dramatic political events of his life such as the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish and English War, and the Irish Civil War, which Yeats viewed as the culmination of the hatred between political groups and parties. His rediscovery of Eastern values through Tagore and his political experiences at that time slowly led Yeats to develop a concept of universalism: the unity of East and West. In other words, Yeats’s continuous movement towards universalism during this period was the necessary and inevitable course to deal with his political experiences: his psychological need to purify the bitterness and hatred Irish politics breeds into his mind, and his need to offer a more inclusive political vision to the Irish politicians who fight out of hatred of opposing parties. What Yeats basically wants to do by pursuing universalism is to create a citizen of the universe whose consciousness transcends the distinction between one and many, present and past, and East and West. Poems such as “The Double Vision of Michael Robartes,” “Sailing to Byzantium,” “Among School Children,” and “Byzantium,” written after 1919 express Yeats’s universalist idea of reconciling East and West employing a meditative scheme. It is unmistakable that all three poems encapsulate Yeats’s universal consciousness, but we also see that they are also tinged by Yeats’s skepticism about the transcendental state, as well as about universalism, in one way or another. Yeats’s doubt about universalism betrays his conflicting political agenda: his belief in the Anglo-Irish aristocratic government. Looking at other poems (“The Wild Swans at Cool,” “In Memory of Major Robert Gregory,” “An Irish Airman foresees his Death,” “A Prayer for my Daughter”) published in the same period reveal his covert allegiance to the Anglo-Irish aristocratic tradition.

In a cultivated field of Salicornia europae in the Jeonam Province, Korea, Scrobipalpa salinella (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) which feeds and leads to a serious damage was found. The discovery of this species is to reconfirm its distribution in Korea because the first report by Park and Ponomarenko (2006) was based on a single female and it was collected in a montane area far from seaside where its host plants, halophytes, are planted. For identification, photos of imago and genitalia are given, and the damage by larvae on Salicornia europae are noted.

This experiment was conducted to select cultivar suitable for peanut sprout from general Korean peanut cultivars developed already. On sprouting peanut, it rapidly increase the content of trans-resveratrol that has effects on anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering and other beneficial cardiovascular in mouse. For this experiment we tested peanut sprout characteristics on 37 cultivars cultivated for 7 days at 26℃ temperature. The characteristics among cultivars showed the variations as follow: The range of 100 grain weight is 56 to 142, hypocotyl length 4.3 cm to 5.8 cm, diameter of hypocotyl 5.0 to 8.0 mm, epicotyl 0.8 cm to 4.6 cm, seedling ratio per seed number 84 % to 100 %, weight per seedling 4.9 g to 8.4 g, the rate of hypocotyl cleavage 0 % to 46 %, the content of trans-resveratrol 22.5 ㎍/g to 88.2 ㎍/g and sprout yield 360 % to 820%. We considered the selecting points as high sprout yield, high seedling rate, high resveratrol content, high low brownish cotyledon, no hypocotyl cleavage, and fat hypocotyl etc. Fortunately, the best cultivar "Jokwang" was selected on these conditions with 7.8 mm diameter, clean cotyledon color, 100 % seedling rate, 0 % hypocotyl cleavage, 63.3 ㎍/g resveratrol, and 820 % sprouting yield. This cultivar may use as new food and nutraceutical material.
