Goryeoyang and Mongolpung in the 13 th – 14 th centuries

The present paper gives an overview of cultural exchanges between Goryeo and Yuan China in the 13th and 14th centuries when Goryeo was under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. The article discusses the historical background of the cultural trends dubbed Goryeoyang (高麗樣) and Mongolpung (蒙古風) which had a great deal of influence on both peoples in many spheres of life, from everyday life to politics. By taking into account a wide variety of examples including fashion, food, lifestyle as well as the linguistic dimension, many similar customs and traditions can be identified between the two nations

Taboos related to food culture at the 13th–14th-century Mongols

This article reviews the characteristics of terms used by the Mongols to express taboos concerning food and examines their food-related culture based on sources from the Mongolian Empire (Plano Carpini’s Historia Mongalorum, Marco Polo’s Il milione, Chinggis Khan’s Yeke Jasag, Rashīd ad-Dīn’s Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh, and the Yuan Dynasty’s 飮食須知 Yin shi xu zhi). The Mongols left behind fairly strict food-related taboos in the form of eating habits. To better understand Mongolia’s food-related taboo expressions, we have examined five mediaeval sources written in various languages in which diverse food taboos are recorded

Analysis and Countermeasures for Sideband of Gear Mesh Frequency(GMF) Induced by Shaft Fretting Corrosion in a Gearbox

Case StudyCS deals with trouble shooting and solving a chronic fretting corrosion damage b/w a gear and shaft (shrink fit). The damage on the geared shaft always accompanied by an increase in the amplitude and frequency side bands at the gear mesh frequency (GMF). The troubleshooting process and analysis revealed that the distance between the two gears is a critical design parameter for preventing fretting corrosion

Elucidation of Akkermansia muciniphila Probiotic Traits Driven by Mucin Depletion

Akkermansia muciniphila is widely considered a next-generation beneficial microbe. This bacterium resides in the mucus layer of its host and regulates intestinal homeostasis and intestinal barrier integrity by affecting host signaling pathways. However, it remains unknown how the expression of genes encoding extracellular proteins is regulated in response to dynamic mucosal environments. In this study, we elucidated the effect of mucin on the gene expression and probiotic traits of A. muciniphila. Transcriptome analysis showed that the genes encoding most mucin-degrading enzymes were significantly upregulated in the presence of mucin. By contrast, most genes involved in glycolysis and energy metabolic pathways were upregulated under mucin-depleted conditions. Interestingly, the absence of mucin resulted in the upregulation of 79 genes encoding secreted protein candidates, including Amuc-1100 as well as members of major protein secretion systems. These transcript level changes were consistent with the fact that administration of A. muciniphila grown under mucin-depleted conditions to high-fat diet-induced diabetic mice reduced obesity and improved intestinal barrier integrity more efficiently than administration of A. muciniphila grown under mucin-containing conditions. In conclusion, mucin content in the growth medium plays a critical role in the improvement by A. muciniphila of high-fat diet-induced obesity, intestinal inflammation, and compromised intestinal barrier integrity related to a decrease in goblet cell density. Our findings suggest the depletion of animal-derived mucin in growth medium as a novel principle for the development of A. muciniphila for human therapeutics

Lexicalization Patterns of Neologisms in Korean under the influence of English

This study is to examine and investigate the Korean neologisms patterns, influenced by the foreign language(English). To achieve the aims of the study, we has outlined various definitions and parameter of neologisms, collected about Korean neologisms and classified them into typology in English sources. These neologisms have been divided into two levels. Level one includes neologisms that have both appeared in English and been used frequently in Korean. Level two neologisms, on the other hand, have not been found in neology processing systems or translational instances though most of them are frequently used by Koreans. The collected neologisms have been included in the following categories: a) phonological neologisms b) morphological neologisms. Each of these Korean neologisms has been analyzed and compared with the original meanings of such neologisms, as well as with reference to creative ability, in other words, rendering of neologisms and culture-specific terms.Korean neologisms; phono-morphological neologisms; derivation; compounding; borrowing and shortening

Modern Industrial Heritage as Cultural Mediation in Urban Regeneration: A Case Study of Gunsan, Korea, and Taipei, Taiwan

Modern industrial heritage in East Asia shares the social and historical background of industrial and cultural products shaped during the colonial times around the 20th century—a period of political upheaval and rapid social transformation. Gunsan (Korea) and Taipei (Taiwan) share the historical characteristics of modern industrial facilities built during the Japanese colonial period. Moreover, these facilities are controversial and complex objects regarding which the notions of conservation of historical heritage and liquidation of colonial heritage coexist and are subjects of mediating the creation of modern cities in East Asia and transition to creative modern urbanization. The complexity surrounding these modern industrial facilities warrants an in-depth analysis of the methods of utilizing them as cultural heritage sites for cultural mediation, and Gunsan and Taipei are good examples for comparison. Here, we examined cultural urban regeneration utilizing modern industrial facilities formed from similar historical and social backgrounds in Taiwan and Korea. This is a comparative study of historical and cultural belts utilizing industrial buildings in Gunsan’s original city centre and Songshan Cultural and Creation Park in Taipei. Finally, we proposed implications for local residents, cultural communities rooted in the region, and user-centered cultural content for sustainable cultural urban regeneration

A Study on Cultural Urban Regeneration Using Modern Industrial Resources: Focusing on the Site-Specific Cultural Places of Gunsan, South Korea

Gunsan is a port city located on the west coast of South Korea. After the port was opened in 1899, foreign concessions were formed there, and the modern city began to be formed in accordance with Japanese colonial policy. This region grew into a modern port city by exporting rice harvested from the plains in the hinterland to Japan and managed and controlled commercial and industrial products of the surrounding area. Modern industrial facilities such as warehouses, financial, and administration facilities necessary for seizing the food resources for the colony were built there, and Gunsan developed as a hub city in the southwestern region of South Korea during the 1930s. However, after liberation in 1945, the number of modern industrial facilities in this area, which contained traces of Japanese imperialism, gradually declined. In the 2000s, as urbanisation accelerated, the problem of abandoned modern industrial facilities was raised, and the necessity of urban regeneration by utilizing the modern industrial facilities scattered in the original downtown of Gunsan emerged. The purpose of this paper is to examine the regional activation and cultural regeneration of the city by using modern industrial facilities as cultural places and targeting the case of Gunsan, which was developed as a colonial-planned city. In particular, through field studies, this paper examines those cultural spaces, utilising modern industrial facilities that contribute to the formation of regional uniqueness, mediate local communities, and create future values of sustainable cultural regeneration
