The exotic black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, has been paid much attention as an excellent organic matter decomposer. We conducted the nationwide survey and the population genetic study using a mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase 1 gene to understand its genetic diversity and distribution pattern in Korea. The results show that it has successfully settled down in South Korea and there are only 10 haplotypes and the populations of the insect are highly differentiated. The results may indicate that their dispersal was restrained probably due to their short distance flying tendency since their introduction and settlement of only few maternal lineages with certain genotypes in Korea.

유기 전계발광 소자는 발광성 유기화합물을 양극과 음극사이에 형성한 후 전기적으로 여기시켜 그 발광을 이용하는 디스플레이로 1960년도에 처음 전기 적 발광현상이 안트라센 물질에서 처음 보고되었다[1]. 그 후 1987년에 코닥(Kodak)사의 Tang에 의해 적층형 유기 전계발광 소자가 처음 연구되어 소개된 후 실용화를 목표로 활발히 연구되기 시작하였으며[2], 1990년도 들어서는 유기물 재료 중에 전도성 고분자형 재료의 전기적 발광현상이 영국의 케임브리지 대학에서 보고되어 고분자형 유기 전계발광 소자연구가 진행되기 시작하였다[3]. 유기 전계발광 디스플레이는 평판 디스플레이의 한 종류로서 저전압 구동, 박형, 자체발광에 인한 고인식성 및 넓은 시야각, 빠른 응답속도 등의 많은 장점을 갖고 있어 현재 널리 사용되는 액정 디스플레이의 결점을 해결해줄 수 있는 차세대 디스플레이로 최근 들어 매우 높은 관심을 받고 있으며 연구개발 또한 가장n 활발한 분야로 알려져 있다 현재는 저분자형 유기물을 사용하는 저분자 유기 전계발광 소자와 전도성 고분자를 사용하는 고분자 유기 전계발광 소자가 전자발광 디스플레이 연구의 두 분야로 경쟁하면서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 1990년도 후반부터 디스플레이로의 연구가 일본에서부터 활발히 진행되면서 수동형 (Passive Matrix) 구동의 유기 EID가 일본의 Pioneer,한국의 삼성 SDI등에 의해서 상업화되었다. 현재는 카오디오나 핸드폰 등에 이미 채용이 되고 있으며 일반인들이 쉽게 볼 수 있는 디스플레이로 바뀌어가고 있다. 또한 향후 중대형 디스플레이로 상업화하기 위하여 일본의 Sony, Sanyo, Toshiba, 한국의 삼성 SDI 등에서 능동구동 유기 EL (Active Matrix OLED (AM OLED))를 경쟁적으로 개발하고 있다. (그림 1 참조)유기 ELD는 이와 같이 빠른 속도로 발전하고 있으며, 향후 몇 년 내에 우리 주변의 일상적 인 디스플레이로 등장할 것으로 판단된다. 본 보고서에서는 현재 실용화가 급속히 진전되고 있는 유기 전계발광 디스플레이의 소자구조, 발광기구. 소자특성, 각종 재료, 풀컬러화 기술, 구동방법등에 대한 기술개요와 국내외 기술동향에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

Objective:There is increasing evidence that free radical-mediated CNS neuronal dysfunction is involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This study was performed to examine the relationship between antioxidant defense system and schizophrenia by analyzing polymorphism of catalase gene, an antioxidant enzyme. Method:Genotype and allele frequencies in the promoter region in the catalase gene using restriction fragment length polymorphism were studied, comparing 155 Korean controls with 167 Korean schizophrenics. Results:No difference was found between the schizophrenics and the controls in genotype and allele frequencies of HinfI polymorphism in the catalase gene. Significant difference was found between the female schizophrenics and the female controls in the genotype distribution(${\chi}^2$=11.096, df=2, p=0.004). Conclusions:The results do not support an association between polymorphism of catalase gene and schizophrenia. However, this study suggests that HinfI polymorphism in the catalase gene could be associated with female schizophrenics.

The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is known to be associated with disease resistance and susceptibility to several pathogens. The microsatellite marker LEI0258 is physically located between the BG and BF of MHC region and variations near this marker have been well documented. In this report, the LEI0258 marker was used to find specific alleles for the Korean native chicken. The MHC haplotype was analyzed by PCR screening and sequencing of LEI0258 region in four different breeds including black Korean native chicken, brown Korean native chicken, Cornish and Rhode island red. The serologically same MHC haplotypes showed the differences in repeat numbers, a few indels or single nucleotide polymorphisms by sequencing analysis. Even though we could not identify specific alleles for Korean native chickens, the genotypes analyzed in these breeds can give valuable information for the relationships with disease resistance and establishment of breeding strategies for the Korean native chicken.

According to the rapid technological development such as ubiquitous environments, there has been growing interest in learning with social media as known as social learning. This study was conducted to analyze various participation types of social media contents aiming to explore strategies for facilitating learning. Specifically, the research model was established by two aspects in using social media contents. First was classified by writings and readings in contents, which consists of prosumers, producers, consumers, and non-participants. Second criterion was categorized by instruction-related and instruction-nonrelated, which is learning contents, learning management, emotional expression, and social activities. In order to acquire empirical data, a set of fourteen undergraduate students participated in this research for eight weeks using a microblog. Based on the analyses on the data through learning activities, three learning strategies were suggested to facilitate social media based learning: analysis on learners, role of the instructor, and instructional model design.

One of the main objects of recent genetic studies is to understand genetic factors that induce complex diseases. If there are interactions between loci, it is difficult to find such associations through a single-locus analysis strategy. Thus we need to consider the gene-gene interactions and/or gene-environment interactions. The MDR(multifactor dimensionality reduction) method is being used frequently; however, it is not appropriate to detect interactions caused by a small fraction of the possible genotype pairs. In this study, we propose a relative risk interaction explorer that detects interactions through the calculation of the relative risks between the control and disease groups from each genetic combinations. For illustration, we apply this method to MDR open source data. We also compare the MDR and the proposed method using the simulated data eight genetic models.

The influence of genotype and ecotype on the anther culture efficiency using hybrid of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) was investigated. Anther culture efficiency was differently dependent on the genotype of parents. In the efficiency of embryo production, the cross combination using female parents with high embryo inducing ability was higher than those with low embryo inducing ability. It was shown that genotype and cytoplasm has effect on embryo production. Also the embryogenic ability was different according to ecotype of cross lines. The frequency of embryo production were the highest in Local variety $\times$ pimento cross combinations with 17.8~46.1 and the lowest in Pimento $\times$ Local variety cross combinations with 5.4~8.5%. Embryo inducing frequency was the middle value with 10.25~23.1% in Local variety $\times$ Tropical variety, Tropical variety $\times$ Local variety, Tropical variety $\times$ Pimento, and Pimento $\times$ Tropical variety cross combinations.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP) is a novel IL-7-like hematopoietic cytokine. Human TSLP is produced by epithelial cells, stromal cells, and mast cells. The TSLP gene is highly expressed in synovial fluid specimens derived from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. We previously identified four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one variation site in human TSLP gene. In this study, we analyzed the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the TSLP SNPs between RA patients and healthy controls. We also investigated the relationships between SNP genotypes and the RF levels and anti-synthetic cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) levels in RA patients. We then calculated the haplotype frequencies defined by these SNPs for both groups. The genotype and allele frequencies of the TSLP SNPs did not differ significantly between the RA patients and the healthy controls. We also found that TSLP SNPs in the RA patients had no significant association with the levels of RF or anti-CCP. Our results suggest that TSLP SNPs are not associated with susceptibility to RA.

The Hanok church is an important cultural heritage that can be considered from a religious point of view of life in the modern age in Korea. We will investigate the bounadaries of the Hanok church built in modern age and the characteristics of Hanok architectural. To do so, we have conducted field trips, interviews, and repair reports of the Gimje Geumsan Church in the Jeollabuk province. The Geumsan Church is present, and the architectural characteristics can be confirmed in detail. In addition, Yugwang School, which was responsible for the education function, was able to guess the location and size through the data. As a result, the boundaries of Geumsan Church is the present fence, the west side has the building, and the east side has the playground. The Geumsan Church's flat form was divided into male and female according to the space configuration of ㄱ-shaped reflecting Confucian thought of the time. And it seems that the Yugwang school was located in the entrance part of the modern church with a two-frame scale, which is suitable for lecture.

The genetic association test on age of onset trait aims to detect the putative gene by means of linear rank tests for a significant trend of onset distributions with genotypes. However, due to the selective sampling of recruiting subjects with ages less than a pre-specified limit, the genotype groups are subject to substantially different censored distributions and thus this is one reason for the low efficiencies in the linear rank tests. In testing the equality of two survival distributions, log-rank statistic is preferred to the Wilcoxon statistic, when censored observations are nonignorable. Therefore, for more then two groups, we propose a generalized log-rank test for trend as a genetic association test. Monte Carlo studies are conducted to investigate the performances of the test statistics examined in this paper.
