A checklist of Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) of the Afrotropical Region
박규택,Jurate De Prins,Willy De Prins 국립중앙과학관 2021 Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Vol.14 No.3
A tentative checklist of 179 species belonging to the family Lecithoceridae (68 species of the subfamilyLecithocerinae and 111 species of the subfamily Torodorinae) is provided, with references to the originaldescription, type species, and distribution. Twelve species that were described in Lecithocera Herrich-Schäffer by Viette (1954e1988) from Madagascar are separately placed at the end of the genus of Torodoraas “incertae sedis”, because the generic assignment is still uncertain. Eight species that were originallyplaced in Lecithocera or Idiopteryx Walsingham are excluded from Lecithoceridae, following Park et al. (2020).
The US–South Korea alliance: How the patron benefits from the protégé
이소정,Brandon Prins,Krista E. Wiegand 한국외국어대학교 국제지역연구센터 2021 International Area Studies Review Vol.24 No.2
Since the end of World War II, the US military has continuously deployed troops to South Korea. The alliance works as an asymmetrical alliance, where the US is a patron and South Korea is a protégé. While it is argued that this deployment has significant political, economic, and military effects on South Korea and the region, few studies have examined how the presence of US forces there enhances US military and economic power as well as national security interests. In this paper, we examine the costs and benefits of the US–South Korea alliance, specifically focusing on US troop deployment on the Korean Peninsula. In particular, we argue that the US military alliance with South Korea has significant benefits to both partners, but particularly for the sake of US national security interests. In this sense, the protégé state provides significant benefits to the patron state. We discuss the strategic importance of South Korea in US foreign policy in the region and emphasize the benefits of the US–South Korea alliance at the various levels.
Fueling rebellion: Maritime piracy and the duration of civil war
Anup Phayal,Brandon Prins,Ursula E Daxecker 한국외국어대학교 국제지역연구센터 2019 International Area Studies Review Vol.22 No.2
Extant research shows that the presence of natural resources can prolong civil wars. But research also indicates that as rebel groups become stronger, conflicts tend to shorten. These studies suggest an unclear association among the three variables—resources, rebel strength, and conflict duration. If resources increase the fighting ability of rebels, then why do they not shorten conflicts? To understand this relationship, we examine incidents of maritime piracy, which unlike other resources are more clearly exploited by rebel groups rather than states and offer new insight on how this might affect the persistence of civil war. The findings suggest that the use of piracy by weaker rebel groups shortens conflict but prolongs it when exploited by stronger rebel groups. We think our conditional analyses allow us to discern insurgencies driven at least in part by greedy rebels and therefore better illuminate the causal process by which resource wealth prolongs civil war.

The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating. Job losses, negative growth rates, and increased poverty have all followed rising infection rates. The economic costs have been especially challenging for many piracy-prone countries. The international monetary fund anticipates sizable unemployment increases in many Indo-Pacific countries. Deeper and more durable economic damage may materialize in some West African countries. Often, negative economic shocks produce surges in crime, both on land and at sea. The present study evaluates the effects of COVID-19 on maritime pirate attacks in two countries, Nigeria, located in the Gulf of Guinea, and Indonesia, located in the Indo-Pacific. We employ monthly and quarterly data on government measures to prevent infection, sea-piracy incidents, and economic conditions to explore whether the subsequent economic fallout produced more maritime crime. We do not find clear evidence of this relationship in Indonesia. However, COVID-19-induced stringency measure does appear to have increased sea-piracy incidents in Nigeria.
Chatbot and Visual Management in Production Process
Anand Dersingh,Prerapat Srisakulpinyo,Sakchai Rakkarn,Prin Boonkanit 대한전자공학회 2017 대한전자공학회 학술대회 Vol.2017 No.1
Production process plays an important role in quality of products which is one of the key factors in becoming competitive manufacturing. There are various technologies that can be used to monitor and improve overall production process. This paper presents the design and development of chatbot in combination with visual management in order to monitor and record issues of a production line and notify corresponding workers for appropriate actions. The chatbot implemented in this work is based on Line messaging platform and the visual system is implemented and developed using Raspberry Pi as a platform.
Current Status of Immunotherapeutic Strategies for Central Nervous System Tumors
Yang, Meng-Yin,Khan-Farooqi, Haumith,Prins, Robert M.,Liau, Linda M. The Korean Neurosurgical Society 2006 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.40 No.4
Malignant gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumor and are in great need of novel therapeutic approaches. Advances in treatment have been very modest, significant improvement in survival has been lacking for many decades, and prognosis remains dismal. Despite "gross total" surgical resections and currently available radio-chemotherapy, malignant gliomas inevitably recur due to reservoirs of notoriously invasive tumor cells that infiltrate adjacent and non-adjacent areas of normal brain parenchyma. In principle, the immune system is uniquely qualified to recognize and target these infiltrative pockets of tumors cells, which have generally eluded conventional treatment approaches, In the span of the last 10 years, our understanding of the cancer-immune system relationship has increased exponentially; and yet we are only beginning to tease apart the intricacies of the central nervous system and immune cell interactions. This article reviews the complex associations of the immune system with brain tumors. We provide an overview of currently available treatment options for malignant gliomas, existing gaps in our knowledge of brain tumor immunology, and strategies that might be exploited for improved design of "custom immunotherapeutics." We will also examine major new immunotherapy approaches that are being actively investigated to treat patients with malignant glioma, and identify some current and future research priorities in this area.
