This paper examines how South Korean government regulators and environmental scientists endeavored to improve the environmental quality of Seoul in preparation for the Olympic Games in 1988. When Seoul was nominated as a host city of the Summer Games in 1981, it was suffering from severe environmental pollution. The municipal government of Seoul and the Ministry of Environment initiated a series of pollution survey projects, which were followed by relevant regulatory procedures. One of the outcomes of these projects was the beginning of odor pollution regulation that used the Environmental Official Testing Method. Although the Pollution Prevention Act of 1963 made odor pollution such as unpleasant order, stench, and stink subject to environmental regulation, proper administrative procedures to reduce odor pollution were not in place until the 1980s. In order to reduce odor pollution in urban areas, governmental officers and environmental scientists tried to regulate odor-causing chemicals from factories. In June 1988, however, severe odor pollution was detected not from factories but from unregulated areas in Seoul, such as the waterside parks of the Han river, the downtown, and the marketplaces. The local regulators and scientists were concerned that the odor pollution could make a "wrong" impression on foreign athletes and visitors about the degree of "modernity" of Korea. This paper shows that the 1988 Summer Olympics was a transition point in the early history of odor regulation in South Korea, when the scope of odor regulation could be expanded.

우리나라 하천관리의 패러다임은 1990년대 이후 기존의 치수 및 이수능력을 고려함과 동시에 하천환경의 보전 및 복원을 새로운 목표로 설정한 자연친화적 방식으로 변화되었다. 하천법령 및 제도적 측면에서도 수자원 장기종합계획 및 유역 종합 치수계획은 하천의 환경보전 및 다목적 이용계획을 포함하도록 규정하고 있으며, 국내 하천법에 따르면 하천기본계획 수립 또한 자연친화적 하천조성 및 이와 관련된 보전지구 지정 등을 포함하도록 규정하고 있다. 하천설계기준, 자연 친화적 하천관리에 관한 통합지침, 또는 수자원 장기종합계획에서 적용하고 있는 하천환경조사 및 평가지표는 서로 다를 뿐만 아니라 과학적인 근거가 명확하지 않는 등 국가차원의 표준화가 이루어지지 못한 상태라 할 수 있다. 1990년대 이후 미국, 독일, 영국, 호주 등 선진국들은 하천환경 복원사업의 추진과정에서 복원사업의 타당성 제고 및 성공적인 사업수행을 위하여 그들 국가의 하천특성에 적합한 하천환경 평가 체계를 구축한 바 있으며, 이들 평가체계는 새로운 과학적 지식과 기술의 축적에 힘입어 지속적으로 발전되고 있다. Fujita의 유형화(Segment 분류)법에 의하면, 하천구간(Segment)은 하상경사, 하상재료, 식생, 생태 등이 통계적으로 동질인 하천 구간으로서, 하도 특성과 하천생태계 공간을 구분하는 단위이다. 자연하천에서 동일한 경사를 갖는 하천구간은 하상재료, 소류력, 저수로 폭, 수심 등이 대체로 동일한 값을 나타내고 있으며, 하도 특성을 지배하는 주요 인자로 각 하천의 평균 연최대유량, 하상재료의 대표입경, 하상경사 등을 설정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천구간을 유형화하는 기준을 하상경사로 적용하여 평가단위를 분류하였으며, 평가체계는 미국의 USEPA를 한국형 하천환경에 맞도록 수정보완 하였다. 특히 미국의 USEPA의 지표 중 하안영역의 식생피복, 하반림 등은 생물분야 식생영역과 상충되어 제외하고 우리나라 특성에 적합한 하천횡단형상, 하천횡단 구조물 등의 평가기준을 재정립하여 내성천에 평가적용 분석하였다. 하천환경의 수리 및 하도 특성 평가기준 개발에 따라 평가체계의 개념적 틀을 토대로 통합적이고 표준화된 한국형 하천평가기준 개발을 위한 방법론을 정립하고, 나아가 하천환경의 지속가능성을 전제로 한 하천복원사업의 장 단기적 성공 여부를 평가할 수 있는 실무지침의 과학적 근거를 제시하고자 한다.

Dengue virus is a typical mosquito-borne virus, and the half of the world's population is exposed to infection. Dengue virus causes relatively mild symptoms such as dengue fever. However, when not treated properly, it is known to cause severe symptoms such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome with a mortality rate of over 20%. Development of dengue virus detection technology is very important because it is reported that early diagnosis of dengue fever can lower the mortality rate to less than 1%. In this study, patent search related to dengue virus detection technology was conducted in Korea, USA, Europe, Japan, and China. The quantitative analysis of 69 validated patents from the searched patents was conducted by country, year, and patent holder. In addition, in-depth analysis was carried out by classifying into three categories: molecular diagnostics, immuno-diagnostics, and cell culture-based diagnostics from all validated patents. From these results, we analyzed the patent trend related to dengue virus detection and dengue fever diagnosis technology and discussed the features and limitations of molecular diagnostics and immuno-diagnostics at present level. Furthermore, we discussed the direction of technology development and future prospects to overcome limitations.

There is insufficient effective management systems to achieve project goalsin disaster and safety R&D. Therefore, to develop an R&D performance management system, this paper develops a R&D performance management matrix based on PMBOK to systematize a process and to enhance efficiency of performance management. Also, this paper identified vulnerable procedures in disaster management by analyzing related laws, work process and performance. Analysis results found that the performance management matrix in disaster management R&D consists of 5 process groups, 7 knowledge areas and 47 processes. Also, the performance of the diffusion knowledge process was evaluated as weak in the present management system. This study defined ITO and developed a data flow diagram for applicationto related work. The suggestions of this study include the related work to enhance R&D performance, contribute to improving diffusion of R&D performance, and enhance the utilization of developed technologies.

This article explores the risk governance of nanotechnology in Korea in light of a regulatory law approach, a soft law approach, and a participatory governance approach. The risk governance of nanotechnology in Korea has three characteristics. First, there are many existing regulatory laws that can be applied to the regulation of nanotechnology. However, these laws have exemptions, the extent of which are larger than that of the Europe and the United States. Second, the soft law approach is the most prevalent risk policy in Korea at present, but is limited because it is being driven by the government without active, voluntary participation of relevant companies. Third, no case of participatory governance took place when it comes to nanotechnology technology assessment. As policy recommendations to improve Korean nanotechnology risk governance, this article suggests pre-market screening, mandatory governmental registration of nanomaterials, transition management of code of conduct, and the design of interdisciplinary research and development project for real-time technology assessment.

Using TIMSS survey data, we analyzed whether there were any significant changes in the learning environment of middle school science classes over the last 10 years. Our study selected questions from teachers and school principals' questionnaires and divided them by category: science class, teacher professional development, and school environment. The science class components were subdivided into three categories: science learning activities, evaluation, and homework. Within teacher professional development, the sub-categories included teacher training, collaboration to improve teaching, and teacher evaluation. School environment subdivided into two aspects, these being school characteristics and school system. Our research confirmed that there has been a positive change overall in learning environments. However, most classes are teacher-conducted and also teacher-oriented; the proportion of science investigation activities has declined compared against the prior ten years. Our study show that students do not engage in a range of inquiry-related activities. The questions on tests and examinations involve mostly knowledge application and understanding, although recent methods of evaluation show improvement. As for the science teachers, they participate in many professional development programs but focus on science content, science curriculum, and pedagogy. In addition, teachers do not have many opportunities to participate in the training to integrate information technology into science, science assessment, or improving students' critical thinking or inquiry skills. The teachers are satisfied with their profession, and the shortage of science resources does not seem to affect instruction.

최근 지식 기반 대화 생성에 많은 연구자가 초점을 맞추고 있다. 특히, 특정 도메인에서의 작업 지향형 대화 시스템을 구축하는 것은 다양한 도전 과제가 있으며, 이 중 하나는 거대 언어 모델이 입력과 관련된 지식을 활용하여 응답을 생성하는 데 있다. 하지만 현재 거대 언어 모델은 작업 지향형 대화에서 단순히 정보를 열거하는 방식으로 응답을 생성하는 경향이 있다. 이 논문에서는 전문 지식과 대화 정책 예측 모델을 결합한 프롬프트를 제시하고 작업 지향형 대화에서 사용자의 최근 입력에 대한 정보 제공 및 일상 대화를 지원하는 가능성을 탐구한다. 이러한 새로운 접근법은 모델 파인튜닝에 비해 비용 측면에서 효율적이며, 향후 대화 생성 분야에서 발전 가능성을 제시한다.

The understanding of law and science as fundamentally different two systems, in which fact stands against justice, rapid progress against prudent process, is far too simple to be valid. Nonetheless, such account is commonly employed to explain the tension between law and science or justice and truth. Previous STS research raises fundamental doubts upon the off-the-shelf concept of "scientific truth" that can be introduced to the court for legal judgment. Delimiting the qualification of the expert, the value of the expert knowledge, or the criteria of the scientific expertise have always included social negotiation. What are the values that are affecting the boundary-making of the thing called "modern science" that is supposedly useful in solving legal conflicts? How do the value of law and the meaning of justice change as the boundaries of modern science take shapes? What is the significance of "science" when it is emphasized, particularly in relation to the legal provisions of paternity, and how does this perception of science affect unfoldings of legal disputes? In order to explore the answers to the above questions, we follow a process in which a type of "knowledge-deficient model" of a court-that is, law lags behind science and thus, under-employs its useful functions-can be closely examined. We attend to a series of discussions and subsequent changes that occurred in the US courts between 1930s and 1970s, when blood type tests began to be used to determine parental relations. In conclusion, we argue that it was neither nature nor truth in itself that was excavated by forensic scientists and legal practitioners, who regarded blood type tests as a truth machine. Rather, it was their careful practices and crafty narratives that made the roadmaps of modern science, technology, and society on which complex tensions between modern states, families, and courts were seen to be "resolved".

광학세계에서는 지난해부터 일본 캐논의 언구개발부장을 지낸 말전철부(末田哲夫)씨가 집필한 <광학부품의 사용법과 유의점>란 책 내용을 연재하고 있다. 본 내용은 일본의 월간 OPTRONICS에서 1982년부터 30회에 걸쳐 연재된 바 있고, 연재한 내용만 묶어 한 권의 책으로 나온 이후 지금까지 많은 광학인들이 애독하고 있는 핸드북이다. 월간 OPTRONICS는 1990년에 책 내용을 세부에 걸쳐 수정함과 동시에 렌즈에 대한 기초를 보다 충실히 하고 비구면 렌즈, Rod 렌즈, 홀로그램, 고체 촬상디바이스, 회절광간섭방식 엔코더 등을 새롭게 첨가하여 보다 알찬 내용을 보강하여 증보개정판을 내놓았다. 국내에서는 (주)그린광학에서 본 자료를 입수하여 사내자료로 활용하고 있을 만큼 시대와 장소를 초월하여 아직도 광학산업현장에서 유용한 자료로 읽혀지고 있다. 비록 일부 내용들은 우리나랄 산업현실과 다소 차이가 있는 부분도 있을 것이나 광학기술의 역사와 기반이 앞서있다고 생각되는 일본의 실질적인 기술관련 자료이기 때문에 국내 업체 관련분양 종사하시는 분들에게 일독을 권해드리고 싶은 마음에 과학세계에서도 2009년 7월호부터 연재를 하게 되었다. 전체 내용을 살펴보면, 제1부에는 대표적인 광학부품에 대한 설명. 제2부에는 그것들을 사용한 광학시스템과 그것들에 관한 기본적인 사항의 해설. 제3부에는 광학부품을 수입하는 경우의 측정방법과 그것들을 시스템으로 조립하는 경우의 조정방법 예 등을 소개했다. 기술내용은 응용범위가 넓다고 생각되는 구체적인 예를 기본으로 소개했다.
