"자판기는 왜 네모나기만 하지?" "자판기는 왜 단순 물품판매 기능만 있는 거지? 다른 기능들이 있어도 좋을 텐데..." 단지 호기심어린 동심의 시각만이 아니더라도 이런 궁금증 한번 가져 봤을 법하다. "왜? 왜"하며 고개를 갸우뚱하게 만든다는 것은 그만큼 '블루오션'의 영역도 넓다는 얘기이다. 자판기의 경우 누구도 한계영역을 규정지어 놓은 것도 아닌데 '단순 물품판매 기능'에다 '획일적인 디자인'에 묶여 있는 게 보통이다. 새로운 시각으로 자판기를 다기능화하려는 선각자적인 시도들은 무모한 도전으로 규정지어지기 일 수이고, 이런 환경에서 자판기는 자기 복제만 되풀이 할 뿐 별다른 발전이 없게되는 상황에 이른다. 무궁무진한 아이디어 지향적이라는 특성을 장점으로 하는 자판기가 '단순 획일화'의 벽을 뛰어 넘지 못하는 게 안타깝다. 해법은 자판기 상상력이 충분히 발현될 수 있는 시장환경이 조성되어야 한다는 점이다. 지금 당장만 중시하는 단기적 시장논리로 자판기 가능성의 싹을 죽여 버리는 토양에서 혁신이 일어나기란 정말 힘들다. 이런 점에서 볼 때 금호에 소개하는 지문인식 광고 커피자판기가 시사하는 바가 크다. 핵심은 이제 이런 제품에 대한 관심이 높아졌으면 하는 점이다. 허무맹랑하다고? 사업리스크가 크다고? 이런 선입견을 가지고 새로운 가치를 원천적으로 차단해 버린다면 자판기는 항상 '그 모양 그 꼴' 일수밖에 없다. 새로운 시장을 만들고 발전시키는 것은 항상 무모할 것 같은 도전에서 나온다. 이번에 소개되는 지문인식 광고 커피자판기는 현재 한 개인의 사업모델이기는 하지만 새로운 미래형 자판기 트랜드가 될 수 있다는 점을 주목했다. 단지 개인의 발명차원의 사업모델을 소개하는 이유가 여기에 있다. 자판기의 새로운 가치를 찾고 영역을 확대한다는 측면에서 한번 머리를 '릴렉스'하게 해보자. 자판기 분야에 전혀 경험도 없지만 뜨거운 열정으로 지문인식 광고자판기를 특허 출원한 벤처 청년 황고연이 제시하는 "자판기 상상력"의 세계를 따라가 봤다.

우리나라는 1991년 동물에 대한 학대행위 방지 등 동물을 적정하게 보호 관리하기 위하여 필요한 규정을 만들어 동물의 생명과 그 안전을 보호하고, 생명의 존중 등 국민의 정서 함양에 이바지하게 함을 목적으로 '동물보호법'을 제정하였다. 그러나 당시 법에서는 반려동물과 실험동물을 대상으로 한 동물학대 금지 및 유기동물 등에 대한 조치와 동물을 교육 학술연구 및 기타 과학적 목적으로 이용시 고통을 주지 않토록 하는 내용을 규정하고 있다. 그 후 우리 국민의 동물보호 복지에 대한 관심과 의식수준이 점차적으로 향상되면서 국민들의 요구에 따라 그 간 수차례 법령을 개정하였고, 2008년에 전면 개정된 법령에는 반려동물과 실험동물뿐아니라 농장동물에 대하여도 동물학대 금지 및 해당 동물을 적정하게 보호 관리토록하는 동물보호 복지 개념을 도입하게 되었다. 우리가 이처럼 농장동물복지에 대해 초보단계에 있는 것과 달리, 이미 세계동물보건기구(OIE) 및 동물복지 선진국은 농장동물복지 정책에 대해 많은 기준을 만들고 다양한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 또한 한-EU FTA 협상과정에서 EU측이 농장동물복지를 의제화 할 것을 요구하는 등 국가간 통상에서도 농장동물 복지가 중요한 이슈로 작용하고 있어 이 분야에 대한 깊은 관심과 정책개발이 필요하다고 하겠다. 따라서 일반 국민뿐아니라 축산업계에서도 '과연 농장동물복지란 무엇인가'에 대한 궁금증과 더불어 '국내 소비자 및 축산농가에 큰 부담을 주지 않을까'하는 우려를 하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이에 동물복지란 무엇인가에 대하여 간략히 알아보고, 농장동물 복지에 대한 국제동향 및 국내정책의 방향에 대해서도 논의하고자 한다.

The mobile instant messengers could change the lives of average citizens as much as did the telephone in the early part of the 20th century and television in the 1950s and 1960s. Researchers are debating whether the mobile instant messengers are improving or harming participation in community life and social relationships. For this study, 155 participants in two universities completed questionnaires pertaining to their own mobile instant messengers use and feelings of loneliness. We used survey data to examine the effects of the mobile instant messengers on social involvement and psychological well-being. In this sample, the mobile instant messengers were used extensively for communication. Results suggest that greater use of the mobile instant messengers were associated with declines in participants' communication with the people around which in turn increases their loneliness. These findings have implications for research and for the design of technology.

Catathrenia is a rare sleep disease characterized by monotonous groaning sounds that appear to be related with prolonged expiration, commonly experienced during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Catathrenia is also known as nocturnal groaning or sleep-related groaning and is currently categorized as a sleep-related breathing disorder. We present a rare case of a 19-year-old male with nocturnal groaning during non-REM sleep. We suggest that if catathrenia is suspected, polysomnography should be utilized to differentiate it from various sleep disorders such as snoring, central sleep apnea, sleep talking, parasomnia, and sleep-related movement disorders.

The primary purpose of this study is to explain the changing nature of Korean Democratic Labor Party, namely the revealed characteristics contrary to the party's original identity, based on empirical framework of so-called "Korean Democratic Labor Party' as a Parliamentary Party". This paper focuses on the unanticipated phenomenon that Korean Democratic Labor Party, in spite of its expectancy as an alternative party model to overcome the challenges of Korean party politics, has lost its characteristics as a mass party but has revealed the characteristics of parliamentary party since it took parliamentary seats in National Assembly.

This study examines whether there is a difference in satisfaction according to understanding level and participation level as well as the question of what kind of difference in consulting result. As a result of analyzing the model using the structural equation, it was confirmed that even if the quality of the consulting service was high, the satisfaction of the consulting company would be lowered if the contents were not understood or the participation was low. In other words, it was confirmed that service quality and satisfaction level of consultants were influenced by understanding and participation of company. The result implies that the high level consulting services of the consultants are also important, but in order to understand the understanding and participation of the consulting firms also affects the consulting satisfaction, and to increase the consulting performance, It is necessary to make aggressive effort to implement a corporate culture that can raise the level of education.

What is the relationship between the power of mask and the popularity of 'Umakdaejang(which means a band master in Korean)' who was one of the mask-singers in King of Masksinger? And which aspects of the contemporary Korean society were projected to this fever of Umakdaejang? This study has made efforts to answer these questions. To do this, it has examined the episodes that Umakdaejang appeared in the TV program King of Masksinger, has dealt with the origin and purpose of mask, and with the cultural meaning of the mask's concealing and revealing identity in order to understand the power of mask. Findings are as follows. Umakdaejang amplified the curiosity of his identity by displaying anonymous typicality with the mask. He also showed the resistant gestures against the forms and manners of the existing TV music programs through the way of somewhat tough, uncontrolled, and mischievous behaviors. By doing so, he exposed the desire of self-revelation. As a result, by means of its anonymity and resistance, the mask functioned as an effective apparatus being able to resist against the class polarization of the capitalist ideology. This can be viewed as the origin of the fever of Umakdaejang as well as the very power of mask itself.

This study analyzed competitiveness of introducing RFID to ports and logistics system focused on Busan port and Shanghai port. This research started from the question, what kind of synergy effect will be occurred when the core technology of ubiquitous computing, RFID technology is introduced to ports and logistics system. It investigated RFID system's influences on ports and logistics system based on the existing literature about effect of logistics information system on logistics result, and further, suggested measure to introduce RFID system successfully to future ports and logistics industry. As a result, it confirmed that Shanghai port is slightly more competitive than Busan harbor. Shanghai harbor has been evaluated more competitive port than Busan since 2007 but the difference is the matter. It is considered that a close gap between two harbors means neck and neck competition in the future. That is, our competitiveness in ports and logistics system is in danger and the competition in the industry will grow in intensity most definitely.

This study has developed an interactive WBI to enhance learning effects on 'the Moon motion' for middle-school students. The quality of this examined by applying it to 20 science teachers and 49 middle school students 49. As a result, over 85% of the test subjects gave an affirmative response in the interest induction, the curiosity solving, and the degree of learning participation category, the degree of difficulty item. Response of the students with negative perception on science have changed positively(p<.05) after this WBI learning. In addition, we compared the learners' of knowledge prior and subsequent to 'the Moon motion'. As a result, it was found that the case of 'no concept' was enhanced more than the case having 'partly or ambiguously concept' for 'the Moon motion'.
