The objective of this study is to know market structures of softwood logs being imported to South Korea from log producing countries. Import demand of softwood logs imported to South Korea from America, New Zealand and Chile is fixed as a function of log prices, the lagged dependent variable and output. On the basis of the adaptive expectations model, linear regression models that the explanatory variables included and the lagged dependent variable were estimated by Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations (SURE). The short-run and long-run own price elasticity of America's softwood log import demand is -1.738 and -4.250 respectively. Then long-run elasticity is much higher than short-run elasticity. Short-run and long-run crosselasticity of New Zealand's softwood log import demand with respect to American's softwood log import price are inelastic at 0.505 and 0.883 respectively. Short-run and long-run cross-elasticity of Chile's softwood log import demands with respect to American's softwood log import prices were highly elastic at 2.442 and 4.462 respectively. Long-run elasticity was almost twice as high as short-run elasticity.

The purpose of this study is to examine the recent various developments of men's fashion by analyzing how exotic tastes were presented in men's modern fashion from 2001 to 2010. For this purpose, a researcher reviewed relevant studies to identify the styles of exotic tastes that were reflected in men's modern fashion specifically in Chinese, Japanese, Indian, East Asian, American, North American and South American styles. Findings of this study is summarized as follows. Main examples of men's modern fashion were found in Chinese-style apparel such as the magwae, queue, coolie hat and the Mao jacket. The Kimono and the samurai robe, both of which best represent Japanese apparel and the Japanese traditional patterns also had an influence on men's modern fashion Indian style clothing such as dhoti, veshti and lungi which cover the lower body, vajani as loose trousers, kurta of full-over tunic form and turban also had an effect as well. The men's modern fashion is also impacted by Middle Asian styles that includes the thobe, sirwaal, futah, which is sort of a skirt that is long enough to cover the calf and whose front parts overlap each other, turbans and the hempen hood which is fixed with the agal. Exotic elements such as animal skins, body painting, tattoos and head dresses found in African styles can also be found in men's modern fashion. Parts of North American style influence come from the applications of Indians' costume and head dress. The surveyed men's modern fashion of the South America style was represented by the applications of natives' costume and Andean tunic, loincloth and shawl. In all of the exotic styles found in men's modern fashion, historicity, eclecticism, aestheticism and nature-orientation are implied. They are the source of inspirations that promote changes and diversity in men's modern fashion.

이 글은 비교정치제도적 시각에서 민주화이후 지난 30년간 한국 대통령제의 진화과정을 분석, 평가, 전망하였다. 민주화이후 한국 대통령제는 3김시기의 제왕적 대통령제에서 3김이후 "대통령중심적 대통령제(president-centered presidentialism)"로 진화하였다. 이러한 진화과정에 제도적 요인(정치자금법을 비롯한 주요 정치관련법, 각 정당의 제도 개혁)과 비제도적 요인(대통령의 리더십성격)이 작용하였다. 이러한 진화과정을 분석한 결과 우리들은 앞으로 정치제도개혁을 통해 현행 "대통령중심적 대통령제"를 "대통령-의회 권력분립형 대통령제"로 발전시킬 가능성을 발견하였다. 특히 지난 30년간의 민주화 추세를 고려해보면 한국 대통령제가 장차 권력분립형 대통령제로 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. 이제 통치과정에서 대통령 우위의 "대통령중심적 대통령제"에서 벗어나 앞으로 행정, 입법, 사법 3부가 서로 대등한 통치의 주체로서 견제와 균형을 이루어 민주주의를 발전시켜 나가야 한다. 그동안 국회의 대통령 견제와 감독기능의 증가, 사법부의 독립성 증대, 시민사회의 책임 있는 정치적 참여 증가등이 권력분립형 대통령제를 가능하게 할 것으로 본다. 따라서 지난 30년간 대통령제하에서 우리들이 이룩한 민주적 성과를 유지, 발전시켜 나가려면 현행정부형태를 바꾸지 않고 대통령제를 유지하는 가운데 현행 대통령제의 문제점을 시정해 나가는 것이 바람직하다. 이를 위해 현행 헌법상의 대통령 권한을 축소하고, 4년 중임의 정부통령제로 변경하는 개헌이 필요하다. 또 현행 헌법의 내각제적 요소를 제거해야 한다. 그리고 권력분립형 대통령제를 뒷받침할 수 있도록 국회제도, 정당제도, 선거제도, 대선후보 경선제도를 개선하고 대통령제와 관련된 잘못된 인식과 잘못된 정치적 관행을 고쳐 나가야 한다.

The present study explored the reception and consumption processes of a Korean audience's viewing of local and international television dramas. Findings indicated that the influential factors on the level of viewing in regards to Korean, American, and Japanese TV dramas among Korean viewers differed. In particular, a significant difference was found in terms of perceived drama characteristics. Applying niche theory, the present study also examined the audience's motivation for watching these television dramas. Results demonstrated that Korean TV dramas possessed the broadest niche breadth and were the most competitive. In a comparison of the perceived characteristics of TV dramas, American drama earned competitive superiority for most characteristics. The implications from the results were discussed in terms of cultural discount and proximity.

Those who are damned in Light in August (1932) include Lena Grove, Joe Christmas as well as Gail Hightower. Through these characters, William Faulkner criticizes the confrontation between the North and the South after Civil War, religious fundamentalism, and racial discrimination which were great social issues in the twentieth century American society. The main characters are commonly isolated from the community through their grandfather's influence instead of father, which lets Americans understand that their faults originated from the beginning of America. Although they tend to approach to the community from their isolation, the damned are refused from the community. However, Faulkner would not lose his hope even on the ground of Christmas's death. By evoking from Hightower and Bunch their responses for good, Lena can draw Hightower into the community, and create her home with Bunch as a final victor. Even in the community being rampant with racial hatred, which most of Americans can not but face with, Faulkner can provide us with a ray of hope through these three characters.

The Civil War is widely accepted as the single most meaningful event in American history that overcame the most fatal crisis of internal division of the nation with much success. That meaningfulness in turn glorifies the North's triumph over the South and justifies hierarchical differences between the two. Yet, as shown in the studies of Civil War literature, such glorification and justification relies too much on the North-centered historical paradigm. This essay aims to offer a way of rectifying it by examining a short story by one of the persistently obscured writers of the period: Elizabeth Stoddard. The essay follows the cue of Alice Fahs's cultural-studies methodology of using popular wartime periodicals as the main resource of the war literature, and reads Stoddard's "Sally's Choice" as one of the examples that expose the hegemonic bias inside the North-directed discourse of the time. This essay is expected to demonstrate the necessity of expanding and deepening our conception of 'literature,' 'the Civil War,' and 'Civil War literature' in an ever-flexible and ever-changeable manner.

In East-South Asia it has been known that Korean ginseng(Panax ginseng) increases blood pressure, whereas American ginseng(Panax quinquefolius) doesn't. This study was designed to find out if Korean ginseng really could increase blood pressure comparing with American ginseng. Double-blind randomized controlled trials on blood pressure and pulse rate of Korean ginseng and American ginseng in Koreans and Chineses was performed. There was no significant difference on blood pressure and pulse rate between Korean ginseng and American ginseng in both Koreans and Chineses by repeated-measures ANOVA. It was revealed that Korean ginseng does not increase blood pressure. Maybe the concept that Korean ginseng increases blood pressure is concerned with commercial interests dealing with American Ginseng.

이 연구에서는 최근 한국 사회에서 현저하게 나타나고 있는 반미감정에 대한 이해를 목적으로, 중학생과 대학생 및 성인들의 미국에 대한 사회적 표상을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위한 연구내용은 두 가지로 정리된다. 첫째, 한국 사람들의 미국에 대한 인식을 파악하고자 하였다. 여기에서 미국에 대한 인식이란, 미국 자체에 대한 인식과 미국의 영향에 대한 인식이라는 두 가지 측면을 의미한다. 미국 자체에 대한 인식은, 미국 사회에 대한 인식, 미국 사람에 대한 인식, 및 미국에 대한 신뢰의식을 포함하였다. 미국의 영향에 대한 인식은, 한국 사회에 대한 영향, 한국의 남북관계와 통일에 대한 영향, 및 세계에 대한 영향에 대한 인식을 포함하였다. 두번째로는, 중학생 대학생 성인 세대 집단별, 정치만족도수준 집단별, 미국에 대한 지식정도 집단별로, 미국에 대한 인식에서 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 최종분석대상은 763명이었으며(중학생-171명, 대학생-250명, 성인-342명), 성인은 중학생의 부와 모로 구성되었다. 분석결과, 한국 사람들의 미국에 대한 인식은 부정적이었으며, 반미감정과 관련된 사회적 표상의 내용들이 확인되었다. 미국 사회에 대해 상업주의적이고 배타적 우월주의라고 부정적인 인식을 하는 정도가 높은 반면, 민주시민사회라는 긍정적인 인식의 정도는 낮았다. 미국 사람에 대해서도 이기적이라고 부정적으로 인식하는 정도는 높은 반면, 선진국민이라는 긍정적인 인식은 적게 하였다. 미국에 대한 신뢰는 매우 낮았는데, 미국 사람 뿐만 아니라 미국 기관에 대해서도 마찬가지였다. 한국 사회에 대한 미국의 영향에 대해, 종속관계가 되었다고 부정적으로 인식하는 정도는 높았으나, 발전에 도움이 되었다는 긍정적인 인식은 낮았다. 한국의 남북관계와 통일에 대한 미국의 영향으로는, 오히려 방해가 된다는 부정적인 견해가 많았다. 세계에 대한 미국의 영향으로는, 초강대국으로 제국주의적이며 문화적으로 지배한다는 부정적인 인식이 많았고, 정의를 수호한다는 긍정적인 인식은 낮았다. 2) 세대집단별로 미국에 대한 인식에서 매우 의미있는 차이가 있었는데, 어릴수록 미국에 대해 부정적이었다. 즉 중학생이 미국에 대해 가장 부정적이고, 성인이 가장 긍정적인 경향이 있었다. 또한 한국의 정치에 대한 만족도가 낮을수록, 미국에 대한 지식이 적을수록, 미국에 대해 부정적인 인식을 갖고 있었다.

Nadine Gordimer's The Pickup, published in 2001, well shows how the social issues have been changed in a way to reflect the South African society which is more complicated in the post-apartheid era. Examining the two different geographical territories between Johannesburg, South Africa and an unnamed nation in Middle East, putting aside the domestic racism between white and black, she extends her issue of racial other to global one with new rising issue of immigration in South African society. It seems that Gordimer's such issue is well represented by two main characters: Julie Summers who comes from a wealthy family and falls in love with Abdu, an illegal immigrant who was born from a poor country in Middle East and is now working at a garage in a downtown of Johannesburg with hiding his real name Ibrahim ibn Musa. Having an official relationship with Ibrahim and joining the regular meeting at the El-Ay (L.A.) Cafe where all participants can enjoy the freedom of expression/speech except for Abdu, she begins to have interest in his silence and his presence, orientalized as the Arab Prince for her imagination. Arriving at Abdu 's nation later, she also keeps projecting the 'less civilized' images to his nation where there are only desert, uneducated people, and dirty houses and streets. In doing so, Gordimer leads reader to a never-ending issue of Orientalism in the Western literature. Moreover, the writer attempts to create a female-centered community at the male-centered Islam community by marginalizing the presence of Abdu who finally leaves to America alone. As Julie is successfully acculturated to the unknown Abdu's community, she begins to place herself at the center of the community and plays a role as a mediator/communicator who can change/civilize it with her western knowledge of language and culture. By replacing the male-centered with the female-centered through Julie, Gordimer seems to be creating an idealized community with the notion of matriarchy. However, Gordimer places Abdu as an unstable subject who has to endlessly move back and forth for his undetermined national and cultural identity while Julie achieves the determined identity in both nations.
