An organism is any living system, such as animal, plant, fungus, or microｰorganism, which is capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth, development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole. Biology is the science which studies on the function, structure, growth, evolution and distribution of all living organisms; and which studies on the nature of organisms in the world. Recently much attention is paid on biology, because it is an important fundamental science that is the key for solving the biggest human issues, such as pollution, population problem and grain problem. Long time ago, our ancestors settled down in Koreaｰthe land, which was rich in natural resources. Since then, they had named the plants and animals and these names and their usages were formed into Korean biological terms. As South Korean and North Korean broke off their diplomatic relations, they have named the biological resources separately according to their own understanding and formulation, and the features of biological terms in South Korea and North Korean became different. And these differences cause big problems for mutual understanding, communication, and even for unification of Korean language. This paper is to find the proper solution of unification of the biological terms by studying and analyzing current usage of biological terms. This will be helpful to enhance communication and unify the Korean language.

At a time when the ideology of ChuｰHsi's teaching was developed to the greatest extent, Park, Seｰdang confronted the contradictions ChuｰHsi's ideology revealed and proposed the practices that attached importance to the reality. Park's writing, Sapyeonrok, did not totally free himself from recognizing the world based on Neoｰ Confucianism. However, his writing turned out significant in that it cast doubt on and reｰexamined the interpretation of Classics by ChuｰHsi, which had been accepted without doubt. Deviated from ChuｰHsi's universalism, Sapyeonrokwas pursued as the basis for human beings' active practices in Classics. In this vein, Park, Seｰ dang could be rated as one who paved the way for the objective inquiry into human beings.

This paper is to examine the local community placing process of new renewable energy facilities which have an image as the proｰenvironment pure energy and the feature and limit of a local community's response to that. focusing on wind turbines. This paper used the methods of local observation data, survey data, and the depths dataｰcollectionｰthroughｰinterviews method, focusing on the location case of the sea wind turbines in Jeju Island. The analysis results are as follows : The construction process of facilities and the economical beneficent factor will be gotten when it's working later, were bigger than the purpose by which wind power generation is proｰenvironment pure energy facility, and wind power generation placing agreement of facilities in the village acted on it. It's one of reasons that we have to pay attention to the interest conflict expression aspect between the groups who looks at profits from meaning specialization to development and the groups who are not so in the situation that the range of the inner autonomy of a community spreads after localｰautonomousｰsystem enforcement.

This study is to investigate the difference between scienceｰgifted students and normal students in critical thinking, intelligence, personality, in relation of them, and in variables explaining critical thinking. The subjects are 124 scienceｰgifted students and 172 normal students. The results were as follows: first, critical thinking, intelligence, and personality of scienceｰgifted students were higher than normal students. Diligence, autonomy and leadership among personality variables of scienceｰgifted students were higher than normal students and the other variables were not different. Second, language commanding ability and calculus ability among intelligence variables were positively correlated with critical thinking of scienceｰgifted students, while all intelligence variables were correlated with critical thinking of normal students. Diligence among personality variables was negatively correlated with critical thinking of scienceｰgifted students, while feeling status and responsibility among personality variables were positively correlated with critical thinking of normal students. Intelligence variables explained more critical thinking in normal students, while personality variable explained more critical thinking in scienceｰgifted students.

In the history of Song dynasty lasting 300 years, Song was often invaded by northern ethnic groups, especially aggressive Liao dynasty. Under the circumstances, there were many armed clashes in the northern territory of Song and the power of Song was gradually weakened. When Song was faced with the situation that destroying Liao in military conquest had no possibility, SongｰZhenｰZong, the emperor of Song, reached a peace agreement with Liao. Even though the “Chan Yuan Zhi Meng”, the peace agreement between Song and Liao, was very dishonorable and unfavorable for Song dynasty, it allowed Song to enjoy 120 years of peaceful period, recovery of national power and wellｰbeing of all people in Song dynasty. The agreement stipulated that the envoys should be accredited to have a mutual communication when Song and Liao have national events. Most of the envoys accredited by Song dynasty were high ranking officials. All those officials were experts in political affairs, and also had very high literary culture. On the way to Liao, those envoys were highly impressed and inspired by wonderful scenery, and wrote a lot of poetry with great emotion. This kind of poetry is called “ShiｰLiaoｰShi”, which means the poetry written by the envoy to Liao dynasty. Based on these understandings, some questions are come across in my mind. The questions are as below; what situation made the envoys write those poems? What route and itinerary did those envoys take? Where are those traces of stations at present? Those questions are tried to be examined in this study using related historical materials, illustrated books, articles and my personal understanding of China’s geography. Through examining the old route and the geographical designations shown in the “ShiｰLiaoｰShi”, the readers of this study can imagine tough range of mountains, spacious desserts, desolate old station structures and tough itinerary. This study will also help the readers understand more about the situation mentioned in the “ShiｰLiaoｰShi” written a thousand years ago.

The purpose of this paper is to look at the two major assimilation processes in Korean and provide a constraint based analysis. We argue that the most important factors in each of assimilation processes in Korean are AgreeｰPlace for place assimilation and SyllCon for manner assimilation. The AgreeｰPlace constraint and other place markedness constraints interact and select the optimal output form for place assimilation. On the other hand, the trigger constraint for manner assimilation, SyllCon interacts with other markedness and faithfulness constraints in the selection of the most harmonic output for manner assimilation. The paper reveals that universal place markedness hierarchy should be modified to explain place assimilation in Korean. At the same time, we should assume a sonority hierarchy, specific to the Korean language, to correctly implement the SyllCon constraint and propose an analysis for manner assimilation. This paper also reveals that the direction of both place and manner assimilation is predominantly regressive and is well supported by 'Positional Faithfulness' proposed by Beckman (1997, 2004).

The purpose of this paper is to describe history and present situation of teaching and studying the Korean language in the Far East of Russia. Globalization of the Korean language is obviously one of important issues in the Republic of Korea. I would like to show some of achievements and difficulties encountered in the process of teaching the Korean language in the Russian Far East to help Korean educators who are not familiar with this subject to achieve their goal of expanding the Korean language all over the world. Korean studies in Russia's Far East began as early as fall of 1900, when the Oriental Institute commenced the Department of the Korean Language, which happened to be the first and only one at that time in Russia. The Oriental Institute was an institution of a new type, aimed at fostering practical Orientalists with good command of written and spoken language. Such were ideas which generated the basics of the Korean language teaching methods. In July 1939 the Oriental Institute was closed down and the Korean language program in the Far East remained ceased for many years. In 1975, the Far Eastern State University resumed teaching of the Korean language and Koreaｰrelated subjects. In their teaching the Korean language the professors and lecturers of the Higher College of Korean studies follow best traditions of the Oriental Institute, focusing on training practical specialists. Further the paper briefly describes goals, means and content of the Korean language program focusing on contents and methods of teaching productive and reproductive written language. By detailed description of textbooks and manuals and contents of teaching course we attempted to illustrate how we achieved main goals of mastering Writing in Korean language. In conclusion we express hope that decreasing of a number of students who want to study the Korean in the last few years will stop and increase again.
