Aristotle's Poetics is the earliest work of dramaturgy. It explains some of the most important narrative notions, for example, Mimesis, Katharsis, Mythos(Plot), Ethos(Character), Anagnorisis and Peripeteia. etc. Aristotle considered the plot which is the arrangement of events, as the most important element of drama. This paper presents an example of a plot configuration as an alternative to the traditional narration used since Aristotle. Dead Island, developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver, is one of the most successful action role-playing survival zombie video games. Its trailer, the Winner of Gold Prize for Internet Film at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in 2011. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract the audiences/gamers to the film/game, it has generally a similer narrative method from its own works. But Dead Island trailer is different. We treat this trailer as an short animation. It could be a new example of the non-linear narrative by the control of the time for example, temporal arrangement, direction and speed. We analyse all shots of Dead Island's trailer with Poetics' rules and with $G{\acute{e}}rard$ Genette's some narrative notions for example temporal order and duration. Furthermore we look for how to maximize the audiences' curiosity by the adjustment of the time, combined with its shocking images.

예로부터 인간은 단맛에 강한 욕구를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 설탕, 포도당, 과당 등 단맛이 강한 감미료를 선호하여 왔고, 현재까지도 식품 제조시 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 국민의 건강에 대한 관심이 고조 되고 설탕으로 대표되는 전통적인 일반 감미료의 충치, 비만, 당뇨병 유발 등의 부정적인 측면이 부각되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 식품에 대한 건강 기능성이 강조되면서 기능성 감미료가 주목 받고 있다. 특히 고도의 경제성장 및 국민 소득의 향상에 따라 차별화된 기능성 감미료의 생산을 요구하는 실정이다. 이와 관련하여, 현재 식품 산업계에서는 올리고당류, 당알콜류, 고감미 감미료류 등에 많은 관심을 가지고 연구 개발에 집중하고 있다. 올리고당류의 대표적인 제품은 프락토올리고당, 갈락토올리고당, 이소말토올리고당 등이다. 현재 올리고단 시장은 성숙기로서 성장속도가 둔화되고 있으나, 최근 American Association of Cereal Chemists(AACC)등 세계적인 협회에서 수용성 식이섬유를 다당류, 올리고당, 리그닌 등을 포함하여 새롭게 정의하였고 이에 따라 해외에서는 프락토올리고당을 중심으로 수용성 식이섬유로 용도 사용이 가능하게 되었을 뿐만 아니라, 식이섬유로 표기도 가능하게 되어 수요가 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 국내에서는 아직 올리고당을 식이섬유로 사용하지는 못하고 있으나, 식품 공전 개정을 통해 식이섬유로 표기 가능하도록 수정될 전망이다. 당알콜류는 솔비톨 및 자일리톨이 주류를 이루고 있다. 솔비톨은 시장에 가장 먼저 소개된 당알콜류인데 저가여서 그동안 가장 큰 시장을 형성하고 있었으나 최근 3년 동안 자일리톨껌이 최대의 히트 상품이 되면서 자일리톨이 급성장하였다. 그 외에는 만니톨, 에리스리톨, 말티톨, 이소말트 등이 있다. 최근에는 말티톨을 중심으로 다양한 응용 연구 및 이소말트 및 에리스리톨 등을 생산 판매하고 있는 다국적 기업의 판촉 활동 등으로 당알콜류 시장의 새로운 변화가 예상된다. 고감미 감미료류는 스테비오사이드와 아스파탐이 주류를 이루고 있었지만, 최근 아세설팜 K 및 수크랄로스가 잇따라 식품으로써 사용 허가를 받으면서 시장이 재편되고 있다. 하지만, 해외에 비하여 국내의 고감미 감미료 시장은 매우 작고 성장률도 낮은 편인데 그 이유로는 국민 정서상 천연이 아닌 합성에 대한 부정적 인식과 맛에 대한 거부감 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 이와 관련하여 최근에는 다양한 감미질 및 Multi sweetener system 연구를 통해 설탕과 유사한 맛을 내는 혼합 기술 개발에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 향후에는 해외의 선진국과 같이 고감미 감미료 시장도 점차적으로 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 기타 대체 감미료로는 타가토스, 트레할로스, 아라비노스 등이 있다. 이중에서 특히 해외에서 크게 기대를 모으고 있는 타가토스는 최근 국내 인증을 받아 시장 진출을 준비 중에 있다. 아라비노스는 양질의 감미를 갖는 천연 펜토오스인데 연구용 시약 이외에는 지금까지 거의 이용되지 않았다. 그러나 최근 아라비노스가 설탕의 소화흡수를 선택적으로 억제한다는 흥미 있는 결과가 임상 및 동물실험에서 확인되어 향후 제품으로써 개발을 기대할 수 있게 되었다. 이들 감미료는 기존 설탕이 가지는 문제점을 많은 부분 극복할 것으로 여겨지며, 이로 인해 수요는 점차 증가할 것으로 생각되며, 높은 경제적 부가 가치를 창출할 것으로 예상되어 진다. 생산 기술 적인 측면에서 건강 지향적 천연소재 감미료에 대한 선호가 날로 증가하는 추세에 따라 기존에 주로 사용되었던 화학합성법보다는 천연 이미지의 생물공학적인 방법에 의한 감미료 생산이 각광을 받을 것으로 예상된다. 생물공학적인 방법을 감미료 소재 개발에 응용하게 되면, 기존에 사용되었던 화학합성법 등이 가지는 환경적인 문제, 반응 부산물 생성에 따른 분리, 정제에서의 비용증가 등의 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 여겨지며, 고정화 방법의 도입 등을 통해 생산성 향상을 도모할 수 있다. 본 장에서는 감미료 소재 개발에 건강 지향적 국민 정서를 반영하고, 국내외 감미료 시장의 흐름을 파악하여 당류 산업의 발전적인 변화에 대처하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 당류산업의 고부가가치 첨단산업으로서의 육성방안을 논의하고자 하였다.

The present study deals with the immobilization of Kluyveromyces lactis ${\beta}$-galactosidase on a weak ionic exchange resin (Duolite A568) as polymer support. ${\beta}$-Galactosidase was immobilized using the adsorption method. A kinetic study of the immobilized enzyme was performed in a packed-bed reactor. The adsorption of the enzyme followed a typical Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The adsorption parameters of k and n were 14.6 and 1.74, respectively. The initial rates method was used to characterize the kinetic parameters of the free and immobilized enzymes. The Michaelis-Menten constant ($K_m$) for the immobilized enzyme (120 mM) was higher than it was for the free enzyme (79 mM). The effect of competitive inhibition kinetics was studied by changing the concentration of galactose in a recycling packed-bed reactor. The kinetic model with competitive inhibition by galactose was best fitted to the experimental results with $V_m$, $K_m$, and $K_I$ values of 46.3 $mmolmin^{-1}mg^{-1}$, 120 mM, and 24.4 mM, respectively. In a continuous packed-bed reactor, increasing the flow rate of the lactose solution decreased the conversion efficiency of lactose at different input lactose concentrations. Continuous operation of 11 days was conducted to investigate the stability of a long-term operation. The retained activity of the immobilized enzymes was 63% and the half-life of the immobilized enzyme was found to be 15 days.

For continuous production of galactooligosaccharides(GOS), $\beta-galactosidase$ with h1gh transgalactosylation activity from Bacillus sp. A 4442 was Immobilized onto $Diaion^{TM}$ HPA 75(styrene-divinylbenzene resin). The parameters influencing enzyme immobilization were scrutinized in order to maximize immobilization yield while minimizing enzyme inactivation. The optimum conditions turned out to be: Tris buffer concentration 30 mM, pH 8.0, contact time at room temperature 3 hr, and enzyme loading 25 mg protein/g resin. Both the thermal stability and the operational stability of immobilized enzyme were markedly enchanced by the treatment with 0.5% glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker. Under the experimental conditions established, the yield of ${\beta}-galactosidase$ immobilization was 40% or more and the activity of the immobilized enzyme ca. 200 U/g resin. When a packed-bed reactor was employed to continuously convert lactose to GOS, the specific production, which refers to as the amount of commercially valuable GOS produced by a unit amount of immobilized ${\beta}-galactosidase$, was found to be ca. 300 g GOS/g carrier.

In an attempt to improve the productivity of ${\beta}-galactosidase$ from Bacillus sp. A1, which was isolated from soil and has remarkably higher transgalactosylation activity than lactose hydrolysis activity, a chemical mutation procedure using N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine followed by selection was conducted. The final selection, designated as Bacillus sp. A4442, turned out to show a substantially increased enzyme productivity. Catabolite repression by glucose and lactose requirement as an inducer for the enzyme biosynthesis, which were shown in the parent strain, was markedly diminished; instead it was found out that galactose acts as another inducer. Because pH of medium, one of the most important factors for cell growth as well as enzyme production, is closely related with the sugar concentration during culture, it was kept in the optimum range of $6.5{\sim}7.5$; for this the initial glucose concentration was adjusted to be 0.5% which was thereafter maintained by the controlled pumping-in of lactose using the pH-stat technique. By doing so, we were able to increase the productivity of ${\beta}-galactosidase$ with high transgalactosylation activity up to $44\;unit/m{\ell}-broth$.

Hypoglycemic effect of Prunus mume (PM) extract containing in Sangjinyangheul-tang and Hwangkeumtang, one of the diabetic herbal medicines, was determined by investigating insulin-like action, insulin sensitizing action and a-glucoamylase suppressing action. Insulin-like activity of 3T3-L1 fibroblast was not shown with the treatment of PM methanol extracts. However, treatment with 20% or 40% PM methanol extracts and differentiation inducers significantly decreased the differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. A significant insulin sensitizing activity was observed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, giving PM extracts (60%, 80% and 100%) with 1 ng/mL insulin to reach glucose uptake level increased by 50 ng/mL of insulin alone. In addition, 20% and 40% methanol extracts of PM suppressed the a-glucoamylase activity by 30% in vitro. However, there was no significant differences in the peak of serum glucose levels and area under the curve in Sprague Dawley male rats treated with PM ethanol extract or cellulose and 2 g maltose or dextrin/kg body weight. These data suggested that PM extracts contain effective insulin sensitizing compounds, lipid synthesis suppressing compounds and possibly a-glucoamylase suppressing compounds. Therefore, PM extracts are beneficial for anti-diabetic treatment in obese diabetic patients.

Happiness is no more than a pleasant mental state that we can feel everyday. How to seek happiness is the key subject of positive psychology, for which we also need a clear neural system so that our emotional life can be accomplished. This is an issue in people with neural problems (such as psychopathy or hypochondria) as they can not achieve such emotional clarity. In this sense neuroscience is thought of as a new approach that can replace the traditional rational insight which has been aimed at completing a virtual life. But there is also a limit: we can not reach a virtual life with only a confirmation of our transitive state. A practice of virtue which our moral ethos aims at, has been a problem of rational insight. Here is a gap between our emotional life and our rational insight in which an anguish of psychology results. So a task we should combine organically is band between neuroscientific fact and ethical practice; a new addition to psychology. But unfortunately psychology can not solve this problem by itself, for it is a meta-question arising beyond psychology. Thus an explication of this meta-question is, I believe, a new theory of moral philosophy; one that can only be explored using an interdisciplinary approach.

The present work aims to analyze the concept of space in $Jes{\acute{u}}s$ $Fern{\acute{a}}ndez$ Santos' work Los bravos. Throughout its pages, one can observe the multidimensional possibilities of space in literature. Throughout time, the concept of literary space has developed and it has been modified constantly in order to meet the needs required for the evolution of narratology. In the past, Aristotle stated that space is the place where characters and physical objects happen to exist. This remained almost unchanged until the Renaissance. In the $19^{th}$ century, space stopped being considered just a mere scene where the action takes place as it was given more importance by romantic authors in their works. Realism intensified the spaces as the interior of the house. In fact, the descriptions of space became more important. In this article, I focus on the various meanings of space in the novel Los bravos. First, I analyze the dichotomy between real and ideal spaces, and continue with the cathartic dimension of the fictional space. Then, I present and analyze the opposition between urban and rustic spaces in this novel, and, finally, I show the confrontation between the spaces of men and women. Through this analysis, we can observe that characters have a space where they feel more comfortable and how, occasionally, they leave their "usual space of action" to reach their "ideal place". Women want to stay in their kitchen to chat with each other, while men prefer to leave the house to visit a cafe with their colleagues. The door and the window divide the border of the worlds of men and women. However, that line is not only dividing the structure of the house, but it is also of a psychological house.

Game Trailer plays the role of main marketing for promotion of game. Recently, the characteristic can be summarized as storytelling, graphics method, production technology, and game mechanics of 3D Game Trailer. Online game was produced as cinematic trailer in the beginning, but recently, in-game trailer has been produced as machinima production method for users. This method reveals functions, various contents, and graphics related to the game through trailer, and it is useful in giving information and curiosity related to the game. Machinima composes background and characters in a short period of time online due to recent 3D CG methods, and only dubbing needs to be proceeded. This saves production fee and production period, and it also has the advantage of having multi-story. Game trailer Thanatos is a video developed through machinima production method. This paper proposes production process and the importance of the key components of the whole project through the above four aspects to be used in the actual production stage by intuitively apply and analysis.

The bioequivalence of two pioglitazone tablets, Actos$^{(R)}$ tablet (Takeda Chemical Industries, reference drug) and Pioglitazone tablet (Boryung Company, test drug) was evaluated according to the guidelines of Korea Food and Drug Administration. Twenty-eight healthy male Korean volunteers received each medicine (pioglitazone dose of 30 mg) in a $2{\times}2$ crossover study with one week washout interval. After drug administration, blood samples were collected at specific time intervals from 0-36 hours. The plasma concentrations of pioglitazone were determined by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The total chromatographic run time was 5 min and calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 5-2000 ng/mL for pioglitazone. The method was validated for selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy and precision. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from the plasma concentration-time profiles of both formulations. The primary calculated pharmacokinetic parameters were compared statistically to evaluate bioequivalence between the two preparations. The 90% confidence intervals of the $AUC_t$ ratio and the $C_{max}$ ratio for Pioglitazone tablet and Actos$^{(R)}$ tablet were log0.9422~log1.1040 and log0.9200~log1.1556, respectively. Based on the statistical considerations, we can conclude that the test drug, Pioglitazone tablet was bioequivalent to the reference drug, Actos$^{(R)}$ tablet.
