Russia E-mail: [email protected] Liailia Aidarovna Gainullina, Kazan Federal University. Russia Natalia Andreevna Bolotova, Kazan Federal University. Russia Fecha de recibido: 13 de noviembre de 2019 Fecha de aceptado para publicación: 30 de noviembre de 2019 Fecha de publicación: 10 de diciembre de 2019 Abstract Traditional national culture is the result of human wisdom that has gone through centuries of challenges and searches. It can be seen in the architecture and garden-park complexes especially. Traditional garden-park culture of each country is a culmination of an understanding of the unity of the natural environment, religion and nationality. Therefore, this culture is unique and has its own origin. In this article, the role of architectural elements in the Korean garden-park complexes was analyzed. Traditional garden-park architecture has a special value, as it is a unique recording of time and space; it has the complex not partial nature of culture and is a "ship", which consists of various elements of traditional culture. Moreover, it shows people's thoughts about beauty and influences on people's minds and bodies. That is why researching of aesthetics of Korean garden-park complexes is the way to understand Korean national culture.

    International Journal of Advanced Culture Technology Vol.8 No.1 89-97 (2020) DOI https://doi.org/10.17703/IJACT.2020.8.1.89 IJACT 20-3-11 Analysis on Four types of Japanese garden Built in Korea during Japanese Occupation Kwang-pyo Hong*, Hyuk-jae LEE** *Dongguk University-Gyeongju, Department of Landscape Architecture [email protected] **The Korean Institute of Garden Design [email protected] Abstract There are remains of Japanese gardens in Korea which were built during Japanese occupation in 1910 -1945. However, systematic database has not been established for location, quantity, nor types of remaining gardens. This study is aimed at defining current status of Japanese gardens built in Korea. By categorizing types of remaining these Japanese gardens, we also aimed to build a systematic data base for Japanese gardens in Korea. This study was co-conducted by researchers from Korea and Japan. The team identified 17 Japanese gardens remaining in South Korea and categorized them into 4 groups; 1) Japanese garden built by Japanese in modern Japanese house in South Korea, 2) Japanese garden built by Korean in traditional Korean garden and 3) Garden built by Japanese in temples in Korea. (at request by Koreans). This categorization reveals information about the inflow of Japanese gardening culture into Korea and deserves to be an important part of modern gardening History. And the rest are 4) Japanese gardens built at Korean residence, but with much damage and alternation. In this paper, we present the findings to serve as preliminary data for defining Korean traditional gardens and for utilizing Japanese gardens in Korea as historical and cultural infrastructure.

Vicente Méndez 515, Chillán, Chile 2 Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, NIBIO, PO. Box 115, 1431 Ås, Norway * Correspondence: [email protected] (D.G.); [email protected] (J.C.) Abstract: Silverleaf is an important trunk disease of fruit crops, like Japanese plum. It is known that Chondrostereum purpureum produces wood discoloration, leaves silvering and tree decline, how- ever, the information about the effects on fruit production is scarce. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine C. purpureum pathogenicity on Prunus salicina and effects on physiology, fruit yield and quality, in Chile, in 2019 and 2020. Wood samples from affected plum trees were collected in the Chilean plum productive area. Fungi were isolated plating wood sections from the necrosis margin on culture media. Isolates colonies morphological and molecular characteristics ac- corded to C. purpureum (98%). Representative isolates were inoculated on healthy plum plants and after 65-d incubation, wood necrotic lesions and silver leaves were visible. Fungi were reisolated, fulfilling Koch’s postulates. To determine Silverleaf effects, water potential, and fruit yield and qual- ity were measured in healthy and Silverleaf diseased plum plants cv. ‘Angeleno’. Water potential was altered on diseased trees, and their yield was reduced in 51% (2019) and 41% (2020), compared to fruit from healthy plants.
