The first Protestant medical missionary, Horace Allen, came to Korea in 1884 and built the first western-style hospital, Jaejungwon. John Heron, Oliver Avison and other foreign medical doctors soon followed. They established hospitals and medical schools, and, by treating patients and educating native doctors, they disseminated and developed modern medicine in Korea. At the same time, they wrote letters and reports to their sponsoring agencies, as well as family and friends, thereby leaving a vast body of literature that is scattered all over the world. Since the end of the 19th century, the records left by foreign medical missionaries have been valuable resources for the study of Korean history. While all types of records, such as diaries, memoirs, reports and travel logs, are available, these tend to be exaggerated or unverifiable because they are unilateral records. In contrast, letters can be verified because they are bilateral records between the recipient and the sender, and cannot be modified or altered according to changes in circumstances. Despite the academic value of these materials, however, there have been insufficient efforts to discover or identify these primary data sources, or to systematically organize them for scholars. This paper identified 49 archival collections from 29 institutions in North America. After analyzing their academic value, the paper will explore digital humanities options in utilizing the letters for future scholarship.

Our anxiousness has risen for recent increase in unpredicatable disaster. Accordingly, for the future society's preventing measure in advance against current considerable disasters due to societal crisis, we need to prepare secure measure ahead. Hence, we need to recognize the significance of governmental role and the value of Big Data application as ICT developed country in order to manage social crisis all the time. This manuscript analyzes human anxiety from listed disasters and describes that our government seeks new way to utilize Big Data in public in order to visualize Big Data related issues and its significance and urgency. Also, it suggests domestic/international application trend of Big Data's public sector with new practical approach to Big Data. Then, it emphasizes e-Gov's role for its Big Data application and suggests policies implying governmental use of Big Data for social crisis management by case-studying disaster measures against unpredictable crisis.

This paper illuminates the philosophical meaning of appropriateness(中節) in Yi Yik(李瀷) and Shin Hudam(愼後聃)'s theories of moral emotion. According to this paper, there was a difficult problem in Toegye Yi Hwang (退溪 李滉)'s philosophy. That is, How we could regulate the relation between Four Beginnings(四端) and appropriate Seven Feelings(七情). Yi Yik tried to solve this problem by elucidating philosophical significances of appropriate Seven Feelings as it were, one hand, he approved the morality of appropriate Seven Feelings, and on the other hand, differentiated appropriate Seven Feelings from Four Beginnings. Thereby He achieved to explain this problem. His solution was dependent on the concept of 'impartial sympathic spectator' that he suggested. It is valuable that Yi Yik reexamined the ethical meaning of appropriateness. His pupil Shin Hudam, however, criticised Yi Yik's opinion and identified Four Beginnings with appropriate Seven Feelings. Shin Hudam deconstructed the conceptual scheme of moral emotion suggested by Yi Yik and regarded appropriate Seven Feelings as Four Beginnings. According to Shin Hudam, the concept of appropriate Seven Feelings designed by Yi Yik was very ambiguous, actually there was no any dividing line between Four Beginnings and appropriate Seven Feelings. Both are equally moral principle manifestation(理發)and moral public(公). Now old concept category of moral emotion(Sadan and Chiljeong) was disappeared and new concept category of moral emotion was appeared, that is public and private.

In this article, we explored the value of interculturalism in developing the discourses of international cooperation in science education. By doing so, we interviewed four teachers who had an experience in teaching science in developing countries, and analyzed their experiences and perceptions in the lens of interculturalism and dialogue. Our analysis of teacher narratives shows the transition in the teachers' perspectives from volunteering and transmission to collaboration and learning. The transition from volunteering to collaboration occurred as the teachers learned how to meet 'the others' as themselves being strangers in the foreign context. Through intervening and colliding, teachers were able to reposition their identities as teachers. Furthermore, their science teaching practices show how the teachers tried to negotiate between the universal or idealistic value of science education and the heterogeneities formed by the country's cultural and specific situation of science education. Through these experiences, the teachers began to understand the importance of the culturally specific 'need' for science education. In conclusion, we proposed a discourse of science education collaboration based on interculturalism in terms of the diversity and complexity of science education practices in developing countries, teacher professionalism, culturally relevant pedagogy and sustainable policy.

본 연구의 목적은 폐교로 인해 퇴직한 사립학교 교직원을 대상으로 사학연금의 재해보상기금을 활용하여 실업급여를 제공하는 방안을 모색하는데 있다. 이를 위해 먼저 폐교 퇴직 교직원 현황 및 사학연금에서 폐교로 인한 퇴직 시 연금 지급규정, 재해보상 관련 쟁점, 고용보험 임의가입방안 관련 쟁점 등에 대해 고찰하였다. 다음으로 폐교로 인한 퇴직 교직원에 대한 정책방안들로 현행안, 재해보상기금을 활용한 구직급여 제공방안, 고용보험 임의가입안에 대한 재정추계를 실시하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 불과 5년 뒤인 2024학년도부터는 대입가능자원이 대학입학정원을 크게 밑돌 것으로 전망되고 이로 인해 대학의 통·폐합과 구조조정 등이 발생하여 현재보다 훨씬 더 많은 대학이 폐교될 것으로 예상된다. 둘째, 현행 사학연금법 상연금지급개시연령은 65세이나, 공무원연금법을 준용하고 있는 사학연금에서 폐교로 인해 퇴직하는 경우 퇴직 때부터 5년이 경과한 때 연금을 지급하는 규정으로 인해 여러 문제점들이 발생하고 있다. 셋째, 폐교로 인한 비자발적 퇴직 교직원의 소득활동 중단에 따른 소득 대체 및 생활안정을 위한 방안마련이 시급하다. 넷째, 산재보험과 공무원연금·군인연금 등 공적 재해보상제도들은 모두 업무상 또는 공무상 사고나 질병으로 부상·질병·장해·사망이 발생하면 재해로 정의하고 있어 사학연금에서 폐교를 재해로 포함시키는 것은 적합하지 않으며, 실업에 대응하는 사회보장제도인 고용보험에 포함시키는 것이 보다 타당할 것으로 보인다. 다섯째, 사립학교 교직원에 대한 고용보험적용 여부를 논의하기 위해서는 대학교수의 법적 지위와 근로기준법의 적용가능성이 중요한데, 향후 대법원이 대학교수를 근로기준법상 근로자로 판단한다면 사학 교직원의 고용보험 가입도 가능하게 될 것이다. 여섯째, 사학연금가입자들을 위한 고용보험 도입이 바람직하나, 이것이 단기간 내에 실행되기 어렵다면 고려 가능한 대안으로 공무원연금과는 다른 사학 교직원 직무에서 발생하는 재해의 특성을 고려하여 사학재해보상제도에서 폐교로 인한 퇴직을 재해보상에 포함시키고 구직급여를 제공하는 방안을 검토해 볼 수 있다. 또한 재정추계결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 현재 폐교로 인한 퇴직 시 제공되는 연금 대신에 재해보상기금으로 구직급여를 제공할 경우 사학연금기금에 재정적으로 상당히 긍정적 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 둘째, 폐교로 인한 2018년 현재 연금수급자(285명)의 예상 연금급여액 추계에 의하면 2050년까지 누적해서 볼 경우, 재해보상기금을 활용하여 구직급여를 제공하는 방안이 폐교로 인한 퇴직 시 연금을 지급하는 현행안보다 2018년 현재가치로 123억 원 정도 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 현재 수급자와 미래 수급자의 예상 연금급여액 추계에 의하면 2028년까지 누적해서 볼 경우, 재해보상기금을 활용하여 구직급여를 제공하는 방안이 현행안보다 2018년 현재가치로 747억 원 정도 재정적으로 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

Canada became the first OECD/DAC member state that legislated the ODA Accountability Act in 2008, which prescribe Canada ODA policies to meet the guidelines and norms of international human rights while other OECD/DAC member states was just emphasizing the importance of abiding by the international human rights norms. Paying attention to the Canadian case, this article critically examines under what structural environments and process this Act was passed. This article argues that the legislation of the ODA Accountability Act is closely related with Canada's international position as middle power and diplomatic strategies. Bring up the human security issues as a niche market, Canada demonstrates the characteristics of middle power state by emphasizing human rights agenda as new foreign policy strategies. Reflecting on the negative outcomes from neoliberal aid policy of structural adjustment and promoting the new aid norms in post cold war era would also help foster the enabling environment for the value-oriented aid policies and enactment of the Accountability Act. Civil society organizations were also playing catalyst role in constructing Canada's state identity of human rights defender.

This study proposes a research model to investigate the effect of ICT on national culture and values. Why should we research the relationship between ICT and culture? We do this to shed light on the cultural framework and find areas for further research. This research has found that the development of Information Communication Technology(ICT) has proved to have a positive effect on the quality of individualism (B0.603), there is a decrease in power distance index(B-0.331)and a correlation between individualism and wealth. Also, the development of Information Communication Technology(ICT) has proved to have a positive effect on the quality of Long Term Orientation. As for adoption and use of ICT, the role of culture is important for many reasons. First of all, we can recognize the importance of national culture and organizational culture in establishing the ability of the overall culture to adapt, efficiently merging with different cultures and overcoming potential obstacles of these tasks. This is the evidence supporting the current theory. Our research shows that development of technology highly influences deep human values. Furthermore, the data points used in this research are from World Economic Forum, World Development Indicator and International Telecommunication Union. In order to understand and develop social evolution and progress, we tried to use data that is fair and verifiable.

The purpose of this study is to examine the vegetation maintenance project that was conducted as a part of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) project for the historic site of Angkor, to analyze the aspects and characteristics of the project, and to derive implications for the establishment of future policies and strategies. First, the key words used in the vegetation maintenance project at the historic site of Angkor do not only refer to the concept of plants (and more specifically to 'trees') but also to the concept of heritage. In other words, the concept of heritage is not limited to architectural structures but is also intended to mean the vegetation and surroundings that form the historic site. Second, the expansion of the value of vegetation has contributed to the establishment of the basic principles of conservation based on the 'coexistence' between architectural structures and vegetation; here, vegetation has come to be recognized as an 'essential' element in the conservation of historic sites. Third, the range of vegetation maintenance has expanded from each tree to the surroundings of the temples, and vegetation maintenance came to adopt 'integrative' and 'active' directions to improve not only the growth environment of the vegetation but also the viewing environment experienced by visitors. This change means that it is necessary for the historic site maintenance project to comprehensively deal with the temples and their surrounding areas. Fourth, for the effective performance of the ODA project, the role of the International Coordinating Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor (ICC-Angkor), under the influence of UNESCO, was expanded from an examination of the problems with the existing projects to a search for solutions to technical consultation and supervision. This implies that, in order to perform the ODA project in a way that is appropriate to the local conditions, it is important to reach gradual and phased agreements with ICC-Angkor.

The purpose of this article is to study the prospect of implementing a public common practice of ethics based on the 'Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth.' The 'Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth' demonstrated the prospect of a public common practice of ethics through the shared public action that would connect and mediate both the public domain and the private domain. In addition, the 'Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth' of Gucheon Sangje (九天上帝) provided us with a complete transformation, meaning the opening of a new era, transforming heaven and earth from their state in the Prior World to their optimized state in the Later World. This culminates in a new manifestation of a peaceful world revealed a prosperity and the prospect of common happiness and common order for the public. In addition, the 'Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth' has a public value as a religious culture that responds to social change and social needs. The 'Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth' revealed the prospect of a public common practice of ethics, placed importance on creating a new foundation, and restoring phenomena back to its original order. The 'Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth' presented various multi-faceted, multi-layered outlets of soteriology while exploring solutions to public issues and revealing human dignity. Through the new construction of Heaven and Earth, Gucheon Sangje had intervened in projects for human relief. The public ethical indicators of 'the actor' here are in line with those of the 'Non-action Tao' of Laozi. As the cosmos enters into the new epoch, humans have living together with the previous cosmic principle. Now we can expect the Prior World to open into a different era as humans embrace a cosmic life of 'Non-action Tao.' The active conjunction of the virtues of yin and yang is an idea of horizontal communication related to reordering of the universe. The harmonious union of divine beings and human beings suggests the way of enabling vertical communication. The resolution of grievances for the mutual beneficence of life is an ethics of peace that aims at achieving coexistence and prosperity. The private realization of Tao and the completion of the Tao in the world suggest the prospect of a common practice of ethics as means of implementing human dignity.

Project Management Institute of America separates the types of risk with external risks and internal risks. The external risk is an uncontrollable risk in projects such as changes of policy and related systems, climate, natural disasters, exchange rates and so on. The internal risk is an existing risk in the project itself that is controllable items in the project. Technical risks in project management are cost, quality, time, safety and environment. Therefore, both the external and internal risks should be managed to perform the construction project successfully. In particular, we can secure the quality and safety of facilities through the technical risk management. The importance of potential risk management has been emerging as a major interest and the lack of risk management delays projects and increases construction costs with negative effects of the building safety since the complex building, which is composed of a great number of facilities, consists of many project units and there are conflicts between various participants and stake-holders. This study presents the ways of establishing risk management processes to ensure the safety of the complex building. To that end, establishing procedure of risk management processes is presented and types of risk and factors in construction projects and counter strategies are presented as available risk information on the stages.
