  • The theories of cultural evolution hold subtly or clearly different stances about definition of culture, pattern of cultural evolution, biases that affect cultural evolution, and relationship between culture and organism. However, the cultural evolution theories have a common problem to solve: As the evolutionary theory of life tries to explain the early steps and the origin of life, the cultural evolution theories also must explain the early steps of the cultural evolution and the role of the human capability that makes cultural evolution possible. Therefore, explanations of the human's unique traits including the cultural ability are related to determine which one is the most plausible among many cultural evolution theories. Theories that tried to explain human uniqueness commonly depict the coevolution of gene (organism) and culture. We will explicitly call the niche construction theory and the dual inheritance theory the 'gene-culture co-evolutionary theory'. In these theories, the most important concept is the 'concept of positive feedback'. In this paper, we distinguish between core positive feedback and marginal positive feedback, according to whether the trait that the concept of positive feedback explains is the trait of human uniqueness. Both types of positive feedback effectively explain the generality of human uniqueness and the diversity of human traits driven by cultural groups. However, this positive feedback requires an end, in contrast to negative feedback which can be continued in order to maintain homeostasis. We argue that the co-evolutionary process in the gene-culture co-evolutionary theories include only the positive feedback, not covering the cultural evolution after the positive feedback. This thesis strives to define the coevolution concept more comprehensively by suggesting the potential relationships between gene and culture after the positive feedback.

  • In this study, a total of 300 isolates of Penicillium and related teleomorphic genera were collected from soils of 17 locations in Korea from April to May, 2004. Ninety four isolates were identified as the species of Penicillium subgenus Furcatum based on cultural and morphological characteristics and ${\beta}-tubulin$ gene sequences. Among the specie's, Korean isolates of P. brasilianum Bat. and P. daleae K. M. Zalessky were phylogenetically identical to the reference species based on DNA sequence of the ${\beta}-tubulin$ gene. Here we described and illustrated P. brasilianum and P. daleae that are new in Korea.

  • 국내 게임 시장이 활성화되면서 매년 다양한 종류의 수많은 게임이 출시되고 있다. 이에 일부 게임들은 게임을 홍보하는 전략으로 매력적인 캐릭터들을 내세우기도 하고, 지나치게 성적인 측면을 강조한 게임 캐릭터들을 홍보에 사용하는 빈도 수도 증가하였다. 특히 여성 캐릭터의 경우 여자 어린이를 모델로 한 캐릭터를 성적으로 소비하는 등 현재 여러 논란이 끊이지 않고 일어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 여성 캐릭터의 소비가 실제 남성 유저들의 성적 인식과 태도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 가장하고 조사를 통해 이를 확인해보고자 한다.

  • The genus Burkholderia consists of extremely versatile bacteria that occupy diverse niches and are commonly encountered in the rhizosphere of crop plants. In this study, we characterized three plant growth promoting strains assigned as Burkholderia sp. using biochemical and molecular characterization. The Burkholderia spp. strains CBMB40, CBPB-HIM, and CBPB-HOD were characterized using biochemical tests, BIOLOG carbon substrate utilization, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, analysis of recA gene sequences, and DNA-DNA hybridization. The results from these studies indicated that the strains CBMB40, CBPB-HIM, and CBPB-HOD can be assigned under Burkholderia vietnamiensis, Burkholderia ubonensis, and Burkholderia pyrrocinia, respectively.

  • $\beta$-Galactosidase 유전자 조작된 두 대장균 숙주-벡터 시스템의 단백질 생산가 배양특성을 비교하였다. Tac 프로모터를 갖는 Escherichia coli JM109/ pTBG10 균주가 pL 프로모터를 갖는 E. coli MH 3000(pRKcI857)/ pASl(lacz) 균주보다도 단백질 생산성에 있어서 훨씬 우수하였으며 초기 및 중간 대수 증식기에서의 발현 유도가 단백질 생산에 있어서 유리함을 관찰하였다. 또한 유전자 발현시기에 있어서는 산소요구량이 매우 높았으나 pH를 일정하게 조절함에 의해 산소요구량을 어느 정도 낮출 수 있었고 생산성도 향상됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 고생산성 균주(E. coli JM109/pTBG10)의 경우 플라스미드 함유 균체의 플라스미드 상실 균체에 대한 비증식속도의 비 $\mu$ + /$\mu$- 가 저생산성 균주보다도 낮았으며 이것은 유전자발현에 따른 단백질 합성부담이 매우 큰 때문으로 판단되었다. 또 플라스미드 안정성을 30세대까지 추적하였는바 유전자 발현 조건하에서 두 균주 모두 25세대 후 10% 정도의 안정성을 보였으나 E. coli JM109/pTBG10 균주의 안정성이 상대적으로 우수하다고 판단되었다.

  • During our studies on the diverse endophytic fungi resident on conifer needles, many species of Cladosporium previously unreported in Korea were encountered. In this paper, we report on two species of Cladosporium from the needles of pine trees (Pinus spp.). Based on analyses of internal transcribed spacer gene sequence, and cultural and micromorphological characteristics, they were identified as C. oxysporum and C. sphaerospermum. Both species have not been hitherto reported in Korea.

  • This research is a follow-up study about analysis on the many different customer groups and their various culture trend, which intends to realize diverse values depending on the sense. The purpose of this study was to develop direction forecast for the future fashion industry through consideration about the characteristics of contemporary fashion industry by the change of different customer's culture trend. And also try to find solution to survival strategy of fashion fields able to evolve with customer. Change of the customer's cultural trend draws a shift in policy in the 21st fashion industry as follows : 1) mash-up 2) complexation through decentering and blurring 3) invisible and immaterial value oriented 4) expansion of minor small market. Moreover, this shows sociocultural meaning as follows. First is spread of flexible and horizontal relationship through collaborative consumption and collaboration. Second is concentration on floating and indeterminate chance through dismantling of various different fashion categories. Third is formation of the permanent difference by selection and focus. Last is expansion of understanding about cultural-ecology. Customer cultural trend is 'meme' of cultural gene in fashion field, so it intends to co-evolute with customer by continuous change.

  • People have lived with and used animals for various purposes since the Paleolithic age. Therefore, animal bone research is interesting because it can infer the status of use, determine species, and ascertain the uses of animals that lived at the time. An analysis of ancient DNA was attempted to identify the species of ancient animal bones excavated from an archaeological site. Twelve animal bones from the Geumgwan Gaya period, excavated in Bonghwang-dong, Gimhae, were used in this study. After extracting DNA from the sample, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) gene amplification was performed. Species-specific primers of livestock groups such as pig, cattle, and deer were selected and used. This livestock group was a major source of protein for people who lived on the Korean Peninsula at that time. As a result, 11 sample species were identified. This study is contributes to the restoration of past life information by applying biological technologies to archaeological sites. It is also expected that such analyses of biological remains will ultimately be used to restore historical and cultural information.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this micro-ethnography is to examine whether science and societal changes impact family communication patterns among a convenience sample of 16 Korean women. Methods: The authors observed family communication in the context of a new breast cancer genetic screening and diagnostic testing program to detect BRCA gene mutations in Korean women at highest risk. Results: Analysis of in-depth interviews and field notes taken during participant observation illustrated that communication patterns in families vary according to a woman's position in the family. If a grandmother tests positive for a gene mutation, her daughters make decisions on her behalf; they open and maintain the communication channel among family members. If a housewife is diagnosed with cancer and a genetic mutation, she immediately consults her husband and her sisters. The husband creates an open communication channel between his wife, his parents and his siblings. As a result, a woman's cancer is a concern for the whole family not merely a woman's secret or crisis. Conclusion: Cultural differences are important to consider when designing new genetic service programs in different countries.
