  • 在19世紀英國植民地政府無法管束華人公司的時代, 華人公司包括着會黨色彩的公司與同鄕會公司。而前者主要活動, 是以仲介華人勞動力與承包稅務爲大宗; 而後者的活動, 則以照顧華人移民的需求爲訴求, 特別是養生送死等人道關懷。在1890年之後, 秘密會黨型的華人公司, 因爲英國植民地政府制訂「社團法令」之後卽被禁止。這使得同鄕會館型華人公司, 在新馬社會更加重要, 因爲華人唯有依憑這些組織, 來産生認同與歸屬感。這兩類同鄕公司, 一是非血緣的連結, 例如語言或是中國原鄕所形成的公司; 第二類是以宗親血緣爲主的公司。這兩種公司都得到英國人的許可而存在, 直到今日仍繼續發揮他們回饋鄕親的功能。

  • 동남아시아의 열대지역 동굴에서 톡토기를 채집하기 위해 Luzon(필리핀), 파푸아뉴기니아, Sulawesi(인도네시아), 말라야, 타이랜드에 수차 원정을 실시하였다. Acherontiella, Pseudosinella, Sinella, Oncopodura, Arrhopalites 등 속들이 조사지역의 모든 동굴에서 서식하고 있었다. 그러나 수개 속은 분포상 매우 제한되어 있었다. Troglopedetes는 동남아시아 대륙에서는 현저한 분화상을 보였으나 다른곳에서는 볼 수 없었다. Coecoloba는 파푸아 뉴기니아에서만 관찰될 뿐이고 멀리 떨어져 한국과 일본지역에서 다시 나타나고 있다. 대개의 종들은 토양산 계통으로 현재까지 유존종으로 생각되는 것은 발견되지 않았다.

  • The species of the genus Chlorociboria Seaver are very common on the forest floor, and can be easily distinguished by small and numerous blue-green fruitbody, especially the blue substrate dyed with xylindein produced by this group. This genus has rather high species diversity in the Southern Hemisphere, while a little attention was paid to this group in East Asia area. During a field survey in South Korea, several Chlorociboria specimens were collected. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses, three species of Chlorociboria were reported, including one new record in South Korea and one new record in Jeju Island. The key to the species of Chlorociboria from South Korea is provided.

  • With the steady rise in global popularity of the Korean music group BTS, the South Korean government and surrounding industries have swiftly begun utilizing their image and international recognition for specific nation branding purposes. While K-pop soft power strategies are not novel to the South Korean state, what is new is the rapid speed at which BTS have become a beacon for South Korean culture, language, and symbolism in the international arena. However, few scholarly works have sought to investigate the role fans have played in this heightened position for the group as state representatives, with minimal research conducted into the work fans do within the framework of ARMY fan culture. This paper will thus aim to fill the gap in scholarship on ARMY as an organized labour network, focusing on the role fans play as labourers in online spaces that work to promote, disseminate, and cultivate wider recognition for BTS as artists. Through the conjunct engagement of a political economy framework and theories of participatory culture, this paper will explore the manner through which the free labour of ARMY, premised on affect, has constructed the fandom as active agents of soft power alongside BTS themselves.

  • The Chinese government portrays the One Belt One Road Initiative (BRI) and South Korea President Park Geun-hae's Eurasia Initiative as a win-win opportunity which will hurt nobody's interests, but some South Korean commentators have interpreted it as much more than just a trade and development deal: they focus on the geopolitical implications and the possibility that the balance of power in Asia will be disturbed. South Korea depends upon its maritime-oriented Sea Lanes of Communication (SLOC) in focusing on its alliance with the US to deter North Korean threats and explore its export-based economic growth and development, and yet cannot afford to be left out of these initiatives which could transform the economic and logistical linkage between South Korea and Europe. Given its negative reception by the some pundits, however, South Korea should be more precautious for expressing only full-fledged supports for the BRI and Eurasia Initiative. Opponents of these two initiatives doubt that its putative benefits can be realized, at least in the short term, arguing that creating the necessary rail interconnections may be too costly.

  • In this study, 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity and population structure of 125 rice accessions from 40 different origins in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and Oceania. A total of 333 alleles were detected, with an average of 11.5 per locus. The mean values of major allele frequency, expected heterozygosity, and polymorphism information content (PIC) for each SSR locus were 0.39, 0.73, and 0.70, respectively. The highest mean PIC was 0.71 for Asia, followed by 0.66 for Africa, 0.59 for South America, 0.53 for Europe, and 0.47 for Oceania. Model-based structure analysis revealed the presence of five subpopulations, which was basically consistent with clustering based on genetic distance. Some accessions were clearly assigned to a single population in which >70% of their inferred ancestry was derived from one of the model-based populations. In addition, 12 accessions (9.6%) were categorized as having admixed ancestry. The results could be used to understanding the genetic structure of rice cultivars from these regions and to support effective breeding programs to broaden the genetic basis of rice varieties.
