The monthly threshold level is the monthly varying Q70 19 values of the monthly FDC. The daily variable threshold is Q70 of the FDC that was obtained 20 from the antecedent 365 daily streamflows.

As a result, the durations and severities from the desired-yield 23 threshold level were completely different from those for the fixed, monthly and daily levels. 24 In other words, the desired-yield threshold can identify streamflow droughts using the total 25 water deficit to the hydrological and socioeconomic targets, whereas the fixed, monthly, and 26 daily streamflow thresholds derive the deficiencies or anomalies from the average of the 27 historical streamflow.

  • High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Light-Polluted Areas with Spatial Effects in Korea
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2016.17.1.361 High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Light-Polluted Areas with Spatial Effects in Korea RESEARCH ARTICLE High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Light-Polluted Areas with Spatial Effects in Korea Yun Jeong Kim1,3, Man Sik Park2, Eunil Lee1,3,4*, Jae Wook Choi1,4,5 Abstract We have reported a high prevalence of breast cancer in light-polluted areas in Korea. However, it is necessary to analyze the spatial effects of light polluted areas on breast cancer because light pollution levels are correlated with region proximity to central urbanized areas in studied cities. In this study, we applied a spatial regression method (an intrinsic conditional autoregressive [iCAR] model) to analyze the relationship between the incidence of breast cancer and artificial light at night (ALAN) levels in 25 regions including central city, urbanized, and rural areas. By Poisson regression analysis, there was a significant correlation between ALAN, alcohol consumption rates, and the incidence of breast cancer. We also found significant spatial effects between ALAN and the incidence of breast cancer, with an increase in the deviance information criterion (DIC) from 374.3 to 348.6 and an increase in R² from 0.574 to 0.667. Therefore, spatial analysis (an iCAR model) is more appropriate for assessing ALAN effects on breast cancer. To our knowledge, this study is the first to show spatial effects of light pollution on breast cancer, despite the limitations of an ecological study. We suggest that a decrease in ALAN could reduce breast cancer more than expected because of spatial effects.

For this purpose, we selected urban areas in the Honam Jeongmaek in Korea and analyzed the nighttime cold airflow and altitude of the cold air layer generated in mountains, by using the KALM (Kaltluftabflussmodell) model which calculates the amount of cold air generated during the nighttime without winds. The results of analysis found that the local airflows generated in Mt. Chuwol, Mt. Mudeung, Mt. Cheonun, Mt. Byeongpung and Mt. Geum influenced the entire study site from across Gwangju Metropolitan City to adjacent areas.

    Annual Report 2015/16 ICLEI East Asia Secretariat Annual Report 2015 www.iclei.org/eastasia CONTENT 3 Greetings 4 About us 5 Governance 6 Highlights of 2015 10 Programs & Projects 13 Strategic Development 15 Knowledge Sharing 17 Our Staff 2 GREETINGS from the Regional Director Year 2015 has been a momentous year for cities. The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations, which address the increasingly important role played by cities in achieving sustainable development beyond 2015, by making our cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Meanwhile, in the landmark Paris Agreement unanimously approved by 185 nations at COP21, local and subnational governments are recognized as essential actors in fast tracking transformative actions in the urban world to tackle climate change. Cities from East Asia are continuously driving change towards sustainability. ICLEI East Asia has been closely working with East Asian cities to support local actions, encourage local initiatives and showcase local achievements through various programs and activities along with enhanced capacity in the region. We have expanded partnership with institutions and governmental agencies inthe region, and welcomed new member cities to our global network. We continue to implement projects and programs, and launched new initiatives to serve regional needs. Following the official launch of Energy-safe Cities East Asia Program in October 2014, the program has moved onto its second stage - local scenario exercise, during which local governments are provided with assistance to assess the potential of their local renewables, and conduct technical scenario analysis on possible pathways to achieve the goal of securing 100% renewable energy supply in the near future.

  • ASTRA Salvensis, Supplement No. 1, 2020 167 MISSIONARY JOHN VAN
    ASTRA Salvensis, Supplement no. 1, 2020 MISSIONARY JOHN VAN NESTE TALMAGE: RESPONSE TO THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION IN KOREA (1910-1945) Jong-Ok SEOK1, Moo-Jin JEONG1, Sang-Ho SEON1, Jun-Ki CHUNG1 1Department of Church History, Kwangshin University, Gwangju City, South Korea Abstract: It is the conventional wisdom of the academic community to conclude that the US missionaries’ stance toward Japanese imperialism during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945) did not stand on either side of Korea or Japan, but exposed their non-political inclinations by maintaining neutrality. This conventional wisdom is not wrong, but it is not entirely true. Almost all US missionaries maintained apolitical attitude that did not intervene into Korea’s political situation. The purpose of this study is to find out the nature of Japanese imperialism by studying an American missionary who resisted Japanese imperialism in his own political way and to enrich the discussions on non-political stance of missionaries. Keywords: independence movement, Korea’s history, Japanese expansion, Presbyterian Mission Station, Talmage’s view. From the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, the world powers implemented the imperialist policy much more intensely than in the past. The UK led to the Opium War (1839-42), forcing China to sign an unequal treaty, exporting opium and other goods to China at a high price, and taking Hong Kong as a concession. The US also joined this imperialist policy and sent the Commodore Matthew Peery to Japan in 1853 to demand the opening of Japan’s doors by threatening the artillery of his fleet, before signing the unequal US-Japan Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854.

On behalf of the East Asia Secretariat of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, our Members and country offices in the region, I am pleased to extend my best wishes to you, your city or organization for a prosperous 2014. Reviewing the past year, I am proud that the ICLEI East Asia Secretariat has grown to make its mark in the region and that we have built a capable and multi-national team since its establishment in October 2012. Hosted generously by Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Secretariat sits at the heart of the Korean capital city and maintains close cooperation with our country offices in Suwon (Korea) and Tokyo (Japan), as well as our Capacity Center in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei. In 2013, while supporting Members in the region to implement local climate actions to advance urban sustainability, the ICLEI East Asia Secretariat also worked to build and extend our presence in China. As Chinese cities rise to become the leading power of the world’s economy, we would also like to see these cities championing urban sustainability. In order to support cities in the region, East Asian programs including Energy-safe Cities East Asia and Green Procurement have been designed and developed. Dynamic platforms such as the ICLEI Talk4Action series and the East Asia Low-carbon Cities Forum were organized to provide opportunities for East Asian cities to exchange their experience and knowledge.
