In the modern society, we have come to recognize human emotions such as anxiety, fear, pain, anger, sadness, longing, desire and pleasure as important topics of philosophy. How shall we study the 'problem of emotions', or in a bigger sense, the 'problem of empathy'? With this critical mind, the research into empathy can be called as a starting point for studying the deepest feelings and thoughts of human beings in connection with the feelings of other people. Most of all, in order to understand other people and to understand human being itself, the role of sympathy or empathy has been emphasized among the problems of emotions, and this trend is especially distinctive in the philosophy of psychology. I definitely acknowledge that empathy or sympathy takes loneliness and agony away from a human being and therefore it is the starting point of communication between people. However, the very fundamental question of 'what are human beings, and who are they?' is once again reminded. In other words, this thesis focuses on the fact that humans are viewed not only as the existence with a soul or heart, but also as a "unique existence" containing something "material-, life- and spiritual", and in that sense, this world is an ecological organism that contains organic connections of humans, material things, plants and animals, which should be the point of view for approach. And it is also emphasized in this study to approach the question about human beings from the religious spirituality point of view that the society with true love for neighbors could be achieved through religious practices that provide principles and value.

This research examines the recognition of nature as identified by Zhuangzi through the man of truth. Zhuangzi defines inactivity as an act of nature and personifies it as the man of truth, a holy man who achieves salvation. It is the stage that is united with nature by breaking out of secular restriction and achieving the absolute liberal spirit. The man of truth is the origin enabling all the acts of nature. And since the existence of all living things is connected, the change of life and death complies with the operation of nature. It is an irresistible destiny for all human beings. Therefore, the duty of nature recognizes the life and death of all creation into a single perspective. In this sense, the feelings of joy and sorrow that human beings feel are unnecessary. When following the duty of nature and destiny, which is to break out of secular desire and empty the mind, it is possible to go to the stage of futility and enjoy a silent and comfortable life. Zhuangzi explains it as living free from worldly cares, which is the stage of 'Soyoyoo(逍遙遊)'. In this thesis, the principles of courtesy and the virtue of Confucianism are stated and are contrary to the concept of futility asserted by Zhuangzi. But, a different approach could be attempted which recognizes a superman who is even more evolved from the man of truth. The philosophical ideology of Zhuangzi could be a necessary factor for modern people and his oriental natural spirit should be highly appreciated.

Whitehead's metaphysics and philosophy of nature rest on his awareness of the metaphysical problem of the relation between "I", the "creative advance" and forces of the universe. Whitehead attempted to systematize human experience of the world based on logical explorations. In this context it is important to note that his discussion of proposition and language is closely connected with his works on a systematic theory of nature. Whitehead proposes a metaphysical concept of proposition also based on the creative advance of the universe. His theory of proposition is designed to show that human language is constructions of the relations between logical and real events in the creative universe which refer to a particular point of view. In this view, a variety of verbal possibilities in the multiple worlds can be realized in the same proposition. For Whitehead the emergence of novelty in the function of proposition is an essential property of the creative universe. This paper will try to give a discussion to Whitehead's theory of proposition with regard to the emergence of nature. Especially I emphasize in this paper Whitehead's idea and meaning of proposition for the development of the creative advance of nature as one aspect of particular importance.

The purpose of this study was to develop a functional hasuo (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) muffin prepared via the replacement of sucrose (SM) with oligosaccharide (fructooligosaccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide). The fructooligosaccharide-added hasuo muffin showed the highest weight while the volume and specific volume were lower in the oligosaccharide-added group than in the sucrose-added sample. The pH of the sucrose-added sample was higher than that of the oligosaccharide-added sample. The lowest lightness value was found in the sucrose-added sample, but the highest redness and yellowness values were found in the sucrose-added sample. The springiness and cohesiveness were highest in the fructooligosaccharide-added sample. The DPPH-radical-scavenging activity of the hasuo muffin including sucrose was 38.67, while that including the oligosaccharide group ranged from 42.87 to 65.95. In the sensory evaluation of the hasuo muffin, the fructooligosaccharide-added sample obtained the highest score in after-swallow, flavor, taste, and texture. The hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide obtained high scores in overall acceptability. These results suggest that hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide have the potential to become commercially successful muffins.

In Europe, the diversity in religions, cultures, languages and historical backgrounds is enormous. World War II and the Soviet Regime have played a large part in this and the flow of refugees from other continents increases the pluralism. How can religious education add to bridging between differences? The language across European countries is different, literally between countries, but also figuratively speaking and even inside individual countries. These differences occur in cultural sense and across age groups as well. Secondary education has the task to form young people to become firmly rooted people who can hold their own in society. It is essential that they learn to examine their own core values and their roots. Recognising their values should be a main focus of religious education. However, schools are currently accommodating increasing numbers of non-religious pupils. What role do religious values still play in this situation? How do pupils feel about active involvement in religious institutions, and about basing life choices on religious beliefs? Can other, non-religious values be detected which could form the basis for value-oriented personal formation? Research of these subjects has been ongoing in the Netherlands for more than twenty years and is currently being expanded to the Czech Republic and(former East) Germany. These are also secularized countries but have a very different history. Does the history and context of these countries play a role, and does this show in the values that are important to pupils? A comparative pilot study is being conducted as start of this broadening perspective geared towards greater insight into the values of pupils in these three European countries. This information helps to design appropriate new forms of religious value-oriented worldview education.

This study is to form develops an effective teaching method centered on the Korean "symbol adverb + predicate" type, helping Chinese students to learn Korean to communicate more accurately when expressing detailed complex feelings and various emotions.Manyforeignlanguage learners try to memorize individual words when they acquire the new vocabulary, this may lead to a problematic in that they cannot use Korean vocabulary accurately and naturally because they do not value the combination of vocabulary words. Since symbolic adverbs are not used in isolation and being frequently used with certain vocabulary words, it is more effective to teach them in the form of instruct learners using "symbol adverb + predicate" forms rather than individual vocabulary words. Accordingly, this research considers a particular vocabulary following symbolic adverbs or vocabulary groups with common semantic qualities that could be frequently introduced. Seven Korean language textbooks used by university in domestic Korea and China are compared and analyzed to reveal the aspects of differences in the use of descriptive words after symbolic adverbs. Finally, based on the textbook analysis results, the government propose a plan to improve the Korean "symbol adverb + predicate" type for Chinese learners. However, this study was limit to being unable to present specific educational measures for Chinese learners in the form of "symbol adverb + predicate". This is expected to complement the limitations of this study in subsequent studies, and lead to more specific discussions.

Study Design: Case report. Objectives: We report a case of pure epidural cavernous hemangioma located at the thoracolumbar spine in a 53-year-old woman that mimicked a neurogenic tumor on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Summary of Literature Review: A pure spinal epidural cavernous hemangioma without bony involvement is a very rare lesion about which limited information is available in the literature. Materials and Methods: A 53-year-old woman visited our clinic for hypoesthesia with a tingling sensation in the left anterolateral thigh that had begun a month ago. No other neurologic symptoms or signs were present upon a neurologic examination. MRI from an outside hospital showed a $2.0{\times}0.5cm$ elongated mass at the T11-12 left neural foramen. The tumor was completely removed in piecemeal fashion. Results: The histopathologic examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma, which was the final diagnosis. The outcome was favorable in that only operation-related mild back pain remained, without any neurologic deficits, after a postoperative follow-up of 2 years and 3 months. No recurrence was observed on MRI at 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion: Pure epidural spinal cavernous hemangioma is very rare, and it is very difficult to differentiate from other epidural lesions. However, we believe that it should be included in the differential diagnosis of spinal epidural tumors due to its favorable prognosis.

This study looks into the relationship between Chinese philosophy, with a focus on Confucianism and Taoism, and music. Kong zi's Confucius supported, 'Enjoyment without being licentious and grief without being hurtfully excessive', and 'hatred of the music of Zheng'. These ideas do not emphasize the function of music as an expression of emotions, feelings, or desires, and are instead conclusions based on Confucian ideals such as harmony between classes and the spread of benevolent government. Music must coincide with Justice. The hatred of the music of Zheng was a conclusion founded on the idea of a place for Justice in music. Zhuangzi is the source of the spirit of Chinese art; specifically, Zhuangzi's idea of music in relation to its influence on East Asian history of art is extremely influential. In fact, the concept of yuelun is considered the most original and important concept in the history of the East Asian philosophy of art. The most distinctive features of Zhuangzi's theory of music can be summarized as follows. He attempts to liberate music from the restrictions of form and to let music express authentic human feelings and emotions. He also argues that music should not be subjected to politics, as he thinks that the creative mind of an artist can exist only when music is freed from political influence. Confucianism takes a humanistic perspective, while Taoism takes a more naturalistic one. In sum, Confucianism gives weight to the logical and ethical aspects of music, while Taoism emphasizes the intuitional and naturalistic ones.

In this study, I examined the visual elements for narrative structure and the symbols, scene components and visual styles in the images through analyze the flat staging in Tomm Moore's animated feature film, . As a research method, I figure out the general theories about staging and analyze extracted scenes which revealed flat staging in the , then summarize and clarify the flat staging production elements and features of Tomm Moore. As a result, in , the composition of the screen using the basic shapes, the screen composition containing the spiral which is symbol of the Celtic traditional pattern, the stable and flat frame expression through the balanced screen composition, expression of spatial sensation using perspective, appearance of the period by using the inverted perspective, and composition that can emphasize the flat formability are appeared as a characteristic. Through this, the two-dimensional planarity was maximized to convey the feeling of appreciating the illustrations of fairy tales. Tomm Moore, who produced animation based on folk tales in order to inherit the traditional culture of Ireland, has been attracting worldwide attention because of its flat staging to help narrative, enhancing the original expression and performance of animation. I hope that this study will be used as basic data for industry workers and researchers who make unique and excellent animated feature film.

현대인의 생활수준의 향상에 따른 관상식물의 관심이 증가하여, 자생초화류를 활용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 산꼬리풀[Veronica rotunda var. subintegra (Nakai) T.Yamaz.]은 국내 특산식물로서 산지의 초원에서 자생하고, 쪽빛을 내는 화기는 청아한 느낌을 주어 관화식물로서 이용가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 산꼬리풀의 분화 재배기술을 확립하고자 2018년 7월 2일부터 10월 15일까지 수행하였다. 대조구는 플라스틱 화분 10호에 원예상토를 충진한 다음 200구에 셀당 4립 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하였다. 실험은 식재용기(플라스틱 8, 10, 12호 화분, 비닐포트 3, 4치), 토양종류[원예상토 단용, 중화 피트모스:펄라이트(3:1, 4:1), 마사토:중화 피트모스(2:1, 3:1)], 묘의 소질[파종립수(1, 2, 4, 6립), 파종용기(162, 200, 288구 트레이)] 등이 생육에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 식재용기에 따른 생육은 플라스틱 화분 12호에서 왕성하였고, 포트의 용적량이 클수록 경직경, 측지수, 마디수, 엽수, 개화율이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 토양종류에 따른 생육은 원예상토에서 가장 왕성하였고, 측지수, 경직경, 마디수, 엽수 및 개화율이 모두 우수하여 관상용 재배에 적합하였다. 피트모스 혼용토는 생육이 억제되는 동시에 잎이 황화되는 현상이 나타났다. 마사토 혼용토의 경우, 생육이 억제되는 결과를 보였다. 셀당 파종량을 달리한 유묘를 정식하여 재배한 결과, 초장, 절간장은 파종량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 포트당 마디수와 엽수는 증가하였으나, 1립 파종묘를 제외하고 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 개화율은 4립 파종묘(44.4%)가 1, 2, 6립 파종묘(20.8~25.0%)보다 높았다. 육묘용기별 생육은 초기생육이 우수하였던 162구 생산묘가 정식 후 재배에도 왕성한 생육을 나타내었다. 결론적으로, 산꼬리풀의 최적의 분화재배를 위해 플라스틱 화분 12호에 원예상토를 충진한 다음 162구 트레이에 포트당 엽수와 개화율이 높은 4립 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하여 재배하는 것이 우수할 것으로 판단된다. 경제적 측면을 고려하여 토양은 비교적 생육이 양호하였던 마사토의 활용방안을 검토하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.
