- Description:
- The relationship between species richness of plants and animals and altitude can be either hump-shaped, a monotonic decrease or increase. In this study the altitudinal distribution of moths on one of the highest mountains in South Korea was investigated. Moths were captured using a UV-light trap from May to October in 2007 and 2008. This revealed that the relationship between the total numbers of moth species and individuals and altitude is hump-shaped. A significant relationship was also recorded between the size of the area at each altitude and moth abundance and richness. However, the evenness index yielded a consistent decrease with increase in altitude because of the dominance of few species at high altitudes. Non-metric multidimensional scaling identified two major axes for the moth assemblage on Mount Jirisan. The correlations between the axes and variables demonstrated that the first axis was strongly correlated with altitude and aspect and the second axis with forest and site location.

3. Das Bild einer leidenden Frau in der koreanischen Hofprosa
- Creator:
- Löwensteinová, Miriam
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- woman and Korea
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- This article deals with so-called court literature, a very scarce type among Korean popular novels from the second half of the Choson dynasty. The preserved works of the genre - Kyech´uk ilgi, Inhyon wanghujon, and Hanjungnok - are analyzed not only aesthetically, but also historically, as record of Korean court personalities and customs of the time. A typical theme in these works includes a heroine meeting the Confucian ideal - a suffering woman living in the seclusion of the palace.

4. Human impact on flora and habitats in Korean rural settlements

- Subject:
- hemeroby, human impact, Korea, non-native species, rural settlements, and village flora
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Land use has direct and indirect effects on the environmental conditions, which play a major role in the dynamics and changes in landscape. In Central Europe, the hemeroby approach is broadly used to quantify human impact on habitats and their vegetation. In this paper, the hemeroby approach was adopted for studying the rural settlements in the East Asian Republic of Korea. Flora and habitats of eight villages were analysed. The habitats were classified according to the five degrees on the hemeroby scale (oligo-, β-meso-, α-meso-, eu-, and polyhemerobic). Hemeroby indicator values were derived for species that were typical of a specific level of hemeroby. Habitats with the same level of hemeroby were grouped. The highest species number was found in habitats that were only moderately influenced by man. This corresponds to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. The flora of habitats that were subject to the highest level of human impact (polyhemerobic)was characterized by a high proportion of annual species, but unexpectedly not by the highest proportion of non-native species.

5. Návštěva korejsko-japonského manželského páru: princ I Ŭn a princezna Masako v Československu v prosinci 1927

- Subject:
- Sociologie kultury. Kulturní život, Ŭn, I, japonská korunní princezna, Masako, 1963-, státní návštěvy, princové, princezny, visits of state, princes, princesses, Korea, Československo, Czechoslovakia, 1, and 316.7
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- The article deals withthe visit of the last Korean crown prince, Yi Ŭn (Gin Ri), and his Japanese spouse, Masako Ri (Yi Pangja), to Prague in December 1927. It is based on the so-far unknown sources of the Office of the President of the Republic (1927), Czech newspapers (October-December 1927), Korean internet sources and relevant works on Korean history. Their visit to Czechoslovakia was part of their extended visit to several European countries. In spite of its private character and the non-pursuit of diplomatic aims, the couple experienced a high level welcome. They were granted an audience with the Presiden of the Czechoslovak republic, T. G. Masaryk, during which they met the leading representatives of the Czechoslovak government and army (the minister of foreign affairs, E. Beneš, the promienent commanders of the Czechoslovak Legions in Siberia and Vladivostok in 1920). As part of the reception, Yi Ŭn was bestowed with the Order of the White Lion, the highest Czechoslovak award. The article provides a breif overview of Korean history from 1876 onwards and expalins the methods used by the Japanese to make the last Korean prince - the possible Korean emperor - their army officer., Zdenka Klöslová., and Obsahuje bibliografii

6. Notes on the development of Korean law
- Creator:
- Tomášek, Michal
- Type:
- article, model:article, and TEXT
- Subject:
- Korea, legal history, Chinese law, and Japanese law
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Foreigners may find the Korean legal system difficult to understand because it has its own unique and traditional legal history and a system different from those of Western and other countries. Although the traditional Korean legal system has no separation of powers and the judicial function was incorporated with the executive function, Korea had its own legal system even before the modern judicial system was first introduced to Korea at the end of the nineteenth century.

- Description:
- Four plant species, Elymus mollis Trin., Carex kobomugi Ohwi, Glehnia littoralis F. Schmidt ex Miq., and Vitex rotundifolia L.f., are dominant perennial species in coastal sand dunes of Korea. We examined a physiological adaptation of these species by measurements of diurnal variation in photosynthesis and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and solute patterns in leaves during one season (June), which is favorable for plant growth of all four species. All four species adopted different strategies in order to utilize radiation and to maintain water status under a fluctuating microclimate. Although the lowest water contents among four plant species was found, E. mollis with a high Chl and K+ content showed better photosynthetic performance, with high stomatal conductance (gs), net photosynthetic rate (PN), instantaneous carboxylation efficiency (CE), and water-use efficiency. Midday depression of PN in E. mollis and G. littoralis, without a reduction of gs, was associated with a reduction in CE and maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII, indicating nonstomatal limitation. Photosynthesis depression in both C. kobomugi and V. rotundifolia, with relatively low gs values, could be attributed to both stomatal and nonstomatal limitations. The high storage capacity for inorganic ions in E. molli, C. kobomugi, and G. littoralis may play an efficient role in regulating photosynthesis and maintaining leaf water status through stomatal control, and can also play an important role in osmotic adjustment., J.-S.
