  • Bud rot (BR) is the most devastating disease affecting oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) crops in Colombia. Its causal agent, Phytophthora palmivora, initiates the infection in immature oil palm leaflets producing necrotic lesions, followed by colonization of opportunistic necrotrophs, which increases disease damage. To improve the characterization of the disease, we transformed P. palmivora using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) to include the fluorescent proteins CFP-SKL (peroxisomal localization), eGFP and mRFP1 (cytoplasmic localization). The stability of some transformants was confirmed by Southern blot analysis and single zoospore cultures; additionally, virulence and in vitro growth were compared to the wild-type isolate to select transformants with the greatest resemblance to the WT isolate. GFP-tagged P. palmivora was useful to identify all of the infective structures that are commonly formed by hemibiotrophic oomycetes, including apoplastic colonization and haustorium formation. Finally, we detected cell death responses associated with immature oil palm tissues that showed reduced susceptibility to P. palmivora infection, indicating that these tissues could exhibit age-related resistance. The aim of this research is to improve the characterization of the initial disease stages and generate cell biology tools that may be useful for developing methodologies for early identification of oil palm materials resistant or susceptible to BR.

  • Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. Anthropomorphic animal face masking is the process by which human characteristics are plotted on the animal kind. In this research, we are proposing a compact system which finds the resemblance between a human face and animal face using Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) and later applies morphism between them. The whole process is done by firstly finding which animal most resembles the particular human face through a DCNN based animal face classification. And secondly, doing triangulation based morphing between the particular human face and the most resembled animal face. Compared to the conventional manual Control Point Selection system using an animator, we are proposing a Viola-Jones algorithm based Control Point selection process which detects facial features for the human face and takes the Control Points automatically. To initiate our approach, we built our own dataset containing ten thousand animal faces and a fourteen layer DCNN. The simulation results firstly demonstrate that the accuracy of our proposed DCNN architecture outperforms the related methods for the animal face classification. Secondly, the proposed morphing method manages to complete the morphing process with less deformation and without any human assistance.

  • Objectives : This paper is an analysis of the name 'Shanghan(傷寒)' and its related contents in unearthed documents. "Shanghanlun" as we know it is an edited version by Wangshuhe of the Jin period, as the original text as written by Zhangzhongjing has been unavailable. Recently in China, documents of the Xian Jin and Liang Han periods are being unearthed, allowing us to look at medical texts of previous times that Zhang referenced. The aim of this paper is to look at the developmental process of the Shanghan theory based on these medical texts. Methods : Research documents include all unearthed documents that include the name 'Shanghan'. There were a total of 4 written cases, 2 in "Wuweihandaiyijian", and one each in "Dunhuanghanjian" and "Juyanhanjian". Meaning of extracted examples were analyzed in reference to the shape of the character, then compared and analyzed with existing medical texts such as "Shanghanlun", "Jibeiqianjinyaofang", and "Bencaogangmu" Conclusions : By examining the 4 examples, Bianzhenglunzi and clinical prescriptions which are characteristics of Shanghanlun could be found. There was an 'Eliminating Wind' formula that was used to eliminate Cold pathogen of the exterior which showed remarkable resemblance to that found in "Jibeiqianjinyaofang". There are also formulas that 'Communicate to Disentangle' and 'Disentangle the Stomach' which are used in progressed stages of Shanghan disease, showing that Bianzhenglunzi had already been applied to Shanghan conditions.

  • In this study, we wanted to examine the new vulnerability 'Dirty Pipe' that is founded in Linux kernel. how it's exploited and what is the limitation, where it's existed, and overcome techniques and analysis of the Linux kernel package. The study of the method used the hmark[1] program to check the vulnerabilities. Hmark is a whitebox testing tool that helps to analyze the vulnerability based on static whitebox testing and automated verification. For this purpose of our study, we analyzed Linux kernel code that is downloaded from an open-source website. Then by analyzing the hmark tool results, we identified in which file of the kernel it exists, cvss level, statistically depicted vulnerabilities on graph which is easy to understand. Furthermore, we will talk about some software we can use to analyze a vulnerability and how hmark software works. In the case of the Dirty Pipe vulnerability in Linux allows non-privileged users to execute malicious code capable of a host of destructive actions including installing backdoors into the system, injecting code into scripts, altering binaries used by elevated programs, and creating unauthorized user profiles. This bug is being tracked as CVE-2022-0847 and has been termed "Dirty Pipe"[2] since it bears a close resemblance to Dirty Cow[3], and easily exploitable Linux vulnerability from 2016 which granted a bad actor an identical level of privileges and powers.

  • Purpose - This exploratory study analyzes the performance of the business from the HRM point of view. Analyzed the influence of HRM and organization effectiveness on business performance. Also moderating effect of the strategy is analyzed. Research design, data, and methodology - Two outcome variables are measured, non-financial performance and financial performance. Two organizational effectiveness variables are measured, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. And two HRM areas are measured, HRM practice and organizational culture. Finally, two strategies are measured as moderators, market strategy and product/service strategy. This study analyzed employees of 554 from the 7th HCCP. This study used SEM and MCFA. Result - The results of turnover intention, growth rate, and profit rate verified the influence of HRM and organizational effectiveness. Overall results showed a contrary effect of education & training system implement and participation on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Among organizational culture, innovation and relation positively affect job satisfaction and organizational commitment. However, antecedents influencing turnover intention, growth rate, and profit rate bear no resemblance. And the MCFA result shows that strategy's group differentiation analysis is meaningful in turnover intention not in financial performance. Conclusion - Based on this study result, management suggestions for turnover intention, growth rate, profit rate, and organizational effectiveness are made. Especially, due to the company's strategy.

  • Purpose: In the landscape of global challenges, the adoption of new technologies and the implementation of intellectual capital are seen as the main vehicles to enhance banking operations. Inspired by this issue, our study is to discover the effect of technological investments and intellectual capital on one of the most important dimensions of banking operations, namely deposit intermediation. Research design, data and methodology: To tackle this concern, we utilize the data of 12 banks from 2011 to 2020 in Vietnam, and perform the multivariate regression analysis as well as provide different robustness tests. Results: Our empirical analysis demonstrates that a surge in technological expenditures would foster distribution of deposit intermediation of banks. Also, the blend of technology spending and intellectual capital plays a key role in boosting this function of banks. Conclusions: The study would bring one of new evidence for bank managers and national authorities in Vietnam, where has undergone the completely reform period in banking system. Accordingly, technological innovation and intellectual capital should be taken into consideration when managers and regulators build business strategies and related policies. The findings are also useful for nations bearing a close resemblance to Vietnamese financial system.

  • Jinguiyuhanjing, one of the Jing-Yue's three writings which were proofread by Lin-Yi et al. in the Song dynasty, can be regarded as the book composed of another text of Shanghanlun. The book has been quoted by some medical scholars in the Song and Jin dynasty, but it has been kept hiding by some collectors from the Yuan dynasty and has not been known to the public until republished by Shi-Jie Chen in the early Ching dynasty. As compared with Shanghanlun, Jinguiyuhanjing shows much difference in contents. Rather, it has a close similarity to Qianjinyifang(千金翼方) written by SunSaiMiao(孫思邈) in the Dang dynasty. The section 1 of Zhengzhizongcongli(證治總例), which may have edited by the man who have also edited Jinguiyuhanjing published between the Nanbei(南北) dynasty and the Sui(隋) and Tang dynasty, has a lot of resemblance to Qianjinyifang. Though the book and Qianjinyifang might have come from the same version, it seems that the edition and publication of Jinguiyuhanjing have no direct relation to those of Qianjinyifang because the former has more articles and prescriptions than the other has. Jinguiyuhanjing gives a great deal of attention to scholars who study the taxt of the Song dynasty because the contents of the book particularly reveals a considerable difference to Shanghanlun published in the Song dynasty. Despite all the importances that the book have, however, no one in Korea did not pay attention to the book ever before. We are sure that it is a valuable work to introduce and study the book in Korea.

  • English stress plays such a critical role in understanding spoken English words that its misplacement can lead to a breakdown of communication. Korean learners of English, whose native language is known to lack this feature, are expected to have some difficulty acquiring this English prosodic system. This study explored how Korean is different from English in manifesting prominence at the word level and how the interlanguage of Korean learners of English is dissimilar to both languages in that regard. Four polysyllabic English loanwords in Korean and their English source words were used as stimuli. Ten native English speakers read the English source words while ten Korean learners of English read the English loan words first and then the English source words. The analysis of 120 speech samples revealed that Korean words did not have any salient syllable realized by all stress features: duration, amplitude, and F0. On the contrary, English words had syllables with relative prominence, which was consistently manifested by all the features. Interestingly, in realizing English stress, the interlanguage of the Korean English learners bore more resemblance to that of English than that of their native language.

  • This study is on the pedagogical convention of architectural history in Korea, especially that of Western Architecture. Recent institutional change in architectural school in Korea has caused overall restructuring of academic program. In spite of extension in the field of history there was no progress of method and way of thinking. There is no change in the point of view to see the western architecture and its history as a unique and specialized phenomenon in the civilization of mankind. Because of no recognition about for what, for whom, and how to, and because of orientalism, the cultural position of western architectural history and its narrative was not asked. With the help of post-colonialism, de-constructivism and critical historiography this paper tries to show the fundamental premise of western architectural history as a myth and show its prejudice as not being justifiable. The background of the discourse there has been a representation effect with regard to knowledge as a power. we need to escape from this kind of cognitional frame With the analysis of the its premise and narrative we can find it is a historical construct that was made in the age of imperialism. In fact it has a lot of false information and problematic point of view. The Identity and originality of western architecture and its history has no logical reason or foundation if we think that it depends on the difference and comparison with other civilization. For example the explanation of its historical origin western architecture has big difference with Islamic architecture in spite of the resemblance each other. This paper try to show several reasons that discourse of western architectural history can not be survived any longer. So we need to reconstruct new pedagogy with deconstruction for the students of non western, or Korean students. Because it has important effect to see and think about architecture and its history.

  • A comparative and an analysis of the resemblance and the particularity of the women's headgear which has been developed in accordance with each of climate and historical beck ground of the Eastern Slavs: the Russians the Belarusians and the Ukrainians those are deeply influenced by the culture of costume of the Scythians which is considered as the origin of the Koreans culture of costume is presented in this study. A well-known Russian ethnographer D. K. Jelenin classifies the women's head gear of the Eastern Slavs as a platok a chepetch a shapka and a unmarried women's venetch by its structural figure. Those 4 kinds of head gears are the basic head gears of the Eastern Slavic woman. However the characteristics and the features of the head gears of the Eastern Slavic woman However the characteristics and the features of the head gears of each nations show us that they have been developed differently not only by the climatic and the geological influences but also by the influence of their historical background. Furthermore we could realize that the Eastern Slavs had classified a person's social position and a standing in family members by the head gear. The incantational and the religious meanings of the hair styles and the head gears are shown in this paper. For instance they has been considered that a married woman without a hat is a disgrace and it even affects to the harvest. Even they believed that a corn styled Russian woman's hat named "Roga" protects a mother and her baby from the evil spirit. It seems that such a ethnographical culture is caused by their own faith of Russian orthodox and a non-Christian ancient religious culture of those regions.
