Recently, governance of science and technology emerged as one of most important social problems and as a result it is crucial to understand it in science and technology studies. This article discusses three most important realms in science and technology goverance - research and development, regulation, and social movement - in the concrete Korean contexts. First of all, the Korean state has driven research and development and promoted its commercialization unlike other developed countries. Consequently, this nationalistic view on science disseminated to Korean public and it generated uniformity in research style and organization. Second, science and technology regulations embraced developed countries' policies, leading to its glocalization. As a result, technocratic old governance and new governance including precautionary principle and participatory democracy coexist. Third, the civil society has challenged expertise and state-driven science and technology governance and fueled social movements related to environment, safety, and health issues. The politics of knowledge created by citizens' voluntary participation and collaborative experts made it clear that science and technology should be no longer tool for economic development. In conclusion, we discuss characteristics of science and technology governance in Korea, giving various implication on current research and policy.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Korean social workers' level of social work values and advocacy(attitudes and strategies) and to verify the relations among social work education, social work advocacy and social work values by examining whether social work education influences social work advocacy and social work values, and whether social work values affect social work advocacy. Further, this study wishes to confirm not only the direct effect that social work education has on social work advocacy, but also how social work education indirectly influences social work advocacy through social work values as a mediator. The research of this study was conducted on 242 social workers who have obtained social worker licenses and are currently working in the community centers. As survey tools, this study utilized social work advocacy attitudes, social work advocacy strategies, outcomes of social work education, social work values, self-esteem and locus of control. Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS/PC+ 12.0 for descriptive analysis, Pearson's correlation, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression. The research hypothesis was established according to the analysis method of the testing mediation of Baron & Kenny (1986) in order to examine whether social work values intervene between social work education and social work advocacy. The results of the hypothesis test confirm that social work values on the social level serve as a mediator variable.

Behcet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, and ocular inflammation, and which may involve the joints, skin, central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Although the exact pathogenesis for BD is not completely understood, it has been suggested that the disease is triggered in genetically susceptible individuals by environmental factors, such as microbial agents. It is noted that multiple genes, including MHC (major histocompatibility complex) and non-MHC genes, are implicated in the pathogenesis of BD. This study tries to determine whether IL-6 gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to Behcet's disease in Koreans. Gene polymorphisms were typed by VNTR (variable number of tandem repeat), RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), DHPLC (denaturing high performance liquid chromatography).There were no evidences for genetic association conferred by the IL-6prom polymorphism. However, significant differences in the IL-6vntr genotype and allele frequencies were found between patients with BD and controls. The IL-6vntr*C allele appeared to be an additional susceptibility gene to Korean BD. Further studies in other populations and gene are required to confirm these results.

The recent publications of two major works from Ministry of Environment and Korea National Arboretum (Type specimens collected from Korea at the herbarium of the University of Tokyo, five volumes) and National Institute of Biological Resources (Korean type specimens deposited in foreign herbaria and museums, two volumes excluding other animal groups) on Korean vascular plants have resulted in discrepancies needing either correction or clarification. The former published the results of a portion of T. Nakai's collections deposited at TI, while the latter produced the results about collections of G. Koidzumi's, J. Ohwi's, and S. Kitamura's at Kyoto University and of E. H. Wilson's and H. Leveille's at Harvard University. Consequently some omissions, discrepancies, and conflicts resulted, such as the inclusion of conflicting designations of lectotype, isotype, syntype or holotype, erroneous citations of publications, and misinformation. Suh et al.'s publications about type specimens of Korean plants deposited at TI showed 47 conflicting typifications and 20 typographical and other errors. Type information offered by Yim et al. were discussed, and 75 conflicting typification and 30 typographical and other errors from these two volumes were also brought to notice. It is clear that Suh et al. and Yim et al. merely provided type information without consulting original description of each plant species. It is apparent that all these conflicting designation of types, erroneous citations of publications, and other types of misinformation were as a result of the disregard of original citation and the ignorance of basic type concept.

This study investigated the recognition of Koreanesss, preference factors and the difference of recognition from adjacent Chinese and Japanese gardens for foreign visitors of Seoul gardens, a Korean traditional garden located within the Marzahn garden in Berlin, Germany. Overall, the Chinese garden and the Japanese garden were better known to most visitors than the Seoul garden due to their earlier construction. The awareness of the specialty to the Korean garden was at an average level indicating most visitors did not recognize the difference among the traditional gardens constructed from other countries. These less awareness on the Korean garden was because the traditional gardens of the three countries are located adjacent to the park in a continuous landscape with similar plant species created through natural planting techniques. This means the Korean garden is required for considering diversity and representativeness of planting species, uniqueness in space composition and recognition of Korean oriental garden culture in an initial design project stage. Visitors without prior information has better understanding on Korean garden and higher revisit intention resulting in increasing publicity and understanding of Korean traditional garden. Among the preference factors representing Koreaness of the Seoul gardens, the waterfall, stream, pavilion and natural stone within the water landscape were visitors favorite interests due to design concept with a representative Korean stream scenery of Dokrack-dang and Byeolseo garden resulting in differences from the landscape displaying technique for other oriental gardens. These stylistic differences in the dominant landscaping of garden architecture from surrounding the physical environments, the garden displaying technique derived from Korean natural landscape can be recognized as an unique garden element for foreign visitors.

This research aims to introduce the theoretical basis of the studies of tourism resources, by review the research trends of tourism resources in the geography field. The geographical approaches to tourism resouces can be subdicided into 3 categories according to the subject. First, the classification of tourism resource types and the approach on the spatial distribution may be enumerated. This subject has been the object of the most interest and discussion to the geographers for tourism up to now. And from the viewpoint of contents, it has been developed by classifying the types of tourism resoures, which is based on the establishment of the range and standard of tourism resources and the spatial classification of types based on the distribution feature of the area. Second, the approach about cognition, preference and interpretation on the tourism resources as the background to induce tourism phenomenon and decide the tourism destination. Judging from the fact that most of this subject is starting from the behavioural study and that the right understanding and interpretation of tourism resource is the important factor to decide the preference degree of tourists, we have to have much interest about the field of tourism geoaraphy. Third, the development of tourism resources which is showing the active study recently and its influence and effect attendant upon it may be enumerated. Today, as the economic value of tourism is become important internationally, tourism resources are recognized as the important factor to induce the industrialization of tourism. And in the series of analytical studies related to it the interest has been transferred from the economic benefit analysis attendant upon tourism development including tourism resource and to the cultural, educational, environmental and psychological influence, etc. As the result of composite examination, for the geographical studies about tourism resources, the spatial scale and the contents are being subdivided and specialized. And in the side of subject and method of study, it is developing into the positive study based on the concrete data and the measuring and analytical frame.

After the movie "AVATAR" became a good model of cash-cow in 3D movie, the profit of 3D-movie significantly reduced. One of the reasons why it happens comes from rare understanding of human factors for instance how viewers get immersed, but sometimes tired. Although 3D images should be more considered human visual system including eye, unfortunately most communication research ignored human factors. For those reasons this study observed the effect of 3D video on viewers' psychological response, especially for perceived eye movement, perceived characteristics, visual fatigue, and presence. With 90 participants, the results show that viewers' perceived feature effects on their presence. In detail, first, materiality and tangibility are more important factors than clarity in 3D video, and it means that when making 3D content or devices, materiality and tangibility should be considers that any other factor. Second, this study examined whether we perceive our eyes as media, and the result shows that as viewers' presence level became higher we perceive eye movements more, and as viewers' presence level became higher perceived visual fatigue became lower. This result means that when we move eyes, we interact with surrounded environment, so 3D content needs to provide vivid features to be more interactive. On the other hand, since level of presence increase visual fatigue, it must be balanced when producing and playing.

한국발명특허협회는 기업의 적극적인 참여와 관계당국의 지원을 받아 지난 73년 10월 18일 창립, 그간 발명 및 공업소유권관계 제위의 아낌없는 성원에 힘입어 금년 10월 18일로 12주년을 맞게 되었다. 창립당시 우리나라는 선진국으로 도약하기 위하여 경제개발과 수출드라이브 정책을 추구하기 위해 창조적 자주기술 개발과 선진기술을 도입, 소화흡수하는 것의 시급한 문제로 대두되었으며 더욱이 앞으로 다가올 본격적인 국제화 시대와 자유경쟁시대에 대비하여 외국과의 경쟁에서 이길 수 있는 산업기반의 구책이 절실했다. 이러한 시대적 요청에 부응하기 위하여는 공업소유권 제도의 확립을 통한 신기술 개발의 촉진 및 발명풍토조성이 선결 문제였으며 이를 해결코자 본회가 창립되었던 것이다. 이에 창립과 동시 공업소유권 제도의 수용태세를 갖추도록 하기 위하여 그 인식제고와 보급$\cdot$확산을 통한 제도 정착에 노력해 왔다. 그 결과 동제도의 불모지였던 우리나라 산업계에서도 공업소유권 제도에 눈을 뜨기 시작했으며 ${\ulcorner}$66발기회원${\lrcorner}$으로 출발하였던 본회는 이제 320회원에 이르게 되었다. 또 공업소유권 제도에 대한 인식을 바탕으로 발명$\cdot$신기술개발을 적극적으로 유도하기 위해 발명특허 정보의 보급에 힘써 왔으며 이에따라 기업 및 발명인들이 우수한 발명품들을 창안하여 기업화함으로써 국내 공급은 물론 수출까지 하는 사례도 많이 늘게 되었다. 그러나 무엇 보다도 획기적인 전환점은 지난 82년 한국특허협회를 한국발명특허협회로 확대 개편한데있다. 전경환 명예회장$\cdot$구자경 회장$\cdot$이태섭 상근부회장을 주축으로 재출범한 본회는 지난 4년동안 기술국립으로 지향하는 국가시책에 부응하는 기술혁신의 요체가 되는 공업소유권제도의 정착과 발명환경 조성을 위한 사업기본방향을 공업소유권 인식제고$\cdot$발명진흥장려$\cdot$특허관리체제확립 등 3대 목표에 두고 발명특허의식고양사업$\cdot$공업소유권관리요원양성배출사업$\cdot$발명진흥행사 및 전시사업$\cdot$발명지원사업$\cdot$발명보호계도사업$\cdot$공업소유권제도조사연구사업$\cdot$공업소유권관리자료발간 보급사업$\cdot$각종 공보발간사업$\cdot$발명특허자료(책자)판매선터운영 등 중점사업을 전개하여 이제 명실상부한 국내 유일의 공업소유권 단체로 도약해가고 있다. 발명의 날 부활에 따른 기념행사를 통한 발명유공자 및 우수특허관리기업체 포상, 전국우수발명품 전시회 개최, 발명시작품제작보조, 발명장려관 설치운영, 해외출원비용 및 해외발명전 출품지원등 발명진흥장려사업에 새로운 전기를 마련한 것이다. 한 마디로 ${\ulcorner}$0년이면 강산도 변한다${\lrcorner}$는 속언을 실감하게 한다. 창립 12주년! 이제 또다시 변해가는 시점에서 지난 12년사를 20대 뉴스를 중심으로 소개한다.
