  • 발레에 대해 문외한인 사람들조차 그 선율은 들어봤을 정도로 <백조의 호수>는 유명한 작품이다. 차이콥스키의 서정적인 바이올린 선율은 매우 아름다원 신화의 'T.O.P'와 같은 대중음악에서도 샘플링 할 정도이다. 하지만 단지 음악만 아름다웠다면 이 음악을 듣고 사람들이 하얀색 튀튀(tutu)를 입은 발레리나의 모습을 떠올리진 않을 것이다. <백조의 호수>는 음악과 인체로 표현할 수 있는 아름다움의 극치를 보여주는 발레 작품이기 때문에 사람들의 뇌리에 깊이 각인된 것이다. 오늘날 클래식 발레가 환상적인 예술로 거듭날 수 있게 된 데에는 수많은 예술가의 노력과 함께 과학의 뒷받침이 있었기에 가능한 것이다. 인간의 한계를 초월하기 위해 스포츠 과학의 힘이 필요하듯 인체 예술의 극한을 보여주기 위해 발레에도 과학이 필요한 것이다.

  • This study, funded by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, evaluated the bacterial contamination in disposable wet wipes used in restaurants, coffee shops, and bakery shops. The materials used are 55 disposable wet wipes collected from general restaurants. The number of average bacteria found was $4.21{\times}10^3CFU/mL$ in 50 disposable wet wipes; in the other five disposable wet wipes, no bacterial contamination was found. The highest number of bacteria was measured as $16.67{\times}10^3CFU/mL$. Total bacterial count of separated are 71 strains. Among the 71 identified strains, 15 were Staphylococcus aureus and 3 were Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This can be an important problem. This study measured the level of bacterial contamination and identified the strains isolated in wet wipes. This study may be important as it provides the basis for establishing sanitation standars for wet wipes.

  • The meaning and role of science culture based on such values as rational thinking, creativity, critical validation has been growing in the process of discussing various social problems. In order to diffuse science culture, it is important to sustain citizen's activeness by providing contents which can induce interest on the base of two-way communication between public and experts and to support citizen activities performed voluntarily. To that end, various people such as scientist, government policymaker, communicator, those in charge of culture and art, exhibition curator should make up collaboration system and such requirement as motivation, leadership, agreement between the participants, communication, trust relationship is also to be met properly in order to proceed collaboration efficiently. This study reviews how these factors are coming true in governmental project for science culture and develops proposal for improvement on the base of opinions collected through expert meetings, interviews, workshop and data research. In addition, it explains that government must strengthen scientific cultural project personnel and lay infra such as communications hub, regional center, platform and improve the business selection method to promote competition and collaboration among project participants with reformation of reward and regulatory systems. It is performed to suggest comprehensive ways to increase efficiency of project for science culture out of not the deficit model which regard public as passive acceptant but context model or PES(public engagement in science) that take public who focus his attention and participate actively into account.

  • This paper is an attempt to discuss the history and the current state of 'SF theaters.' SF theater is still an unfamiliar genre to the public, and may surprise some, given that the stage is perceived as an insufficient space for stretching the scientific imagination. Since 2010 works that bring the scientific imagination into the theater have frequently been performed, and a recognition of SF theaters began to be established. Producers came to be absorbed in human psychology, and our isolation amidst the progress in technology, as well as in the absurdities of the world, while giving up the ideal of realistic descriptions. This became the foundation for SF theaters in South Korea today. Starting from the research history and the conceptual change in SF theaters, this study examined the status of SF dramas going back to the colonial period for SF theaters. Through inquiring into the history of SF theaters, we were able to derive the following implications and problems. Firstly, as they are based on future society or technical improvement without consideration of scientific probability or rationality, the scientific imagination is too absent for the work to be named 'SF theater.' Secondly, while being highly evaluated as an attempt to integrate science and stage in an era that emphasizes convergence, when we delve into the creativity of a material it is noticeable that the view of the world is still regressive. Thirdly, there are many cases in which scripts lean on SF classics or Japanese original works. Nevertheless, if young creators' diverse attempts in a genre can breathe with the contemporary audience desiring a new material, the foundation of a Korean-style SF theater may be expanded to include more significant work.

  • Recently, society's relationship with science is in a critical phase. There was never a time when the issues involving science were more exciting. Many people are deeply uneasy about the safety and ethics of bio-technology. On the other hand, this could be interpreted as a dynamic process in which a new relationship between science and public is reshaping. And in this new relationship citizen participation in science is not a option but a necessity. This article is a case study of 1970's re-combinant DNA debate. Early 1970's bio-technology saw the emergence of an enormously powerful new methodology, recombinant DNA technology. But, at the outset, this technology posed many potential dangers. Concern over possible hazards prompted hot debates and conflict between leading scientists and community, In this process Cambridge Laboratory Experiment Lion Review Board (CERB) is organized by Cambridge City Coun il for assessing the possible risk of recombinant DAN technique. This is one of the first citizen-initiated participation movement in bio-technology. And the debates has come to be a principal focus for many of the most important questions concerning citizen participation in science. This study make a attempt to analyze CERB case. In conclusion, we can confirm the possibility of civil participation in science policy making and decision making from CERB case study. Still, we also realize the limit of CERB case.

  • As the low fertility intensifies in Korea, this study investigated fundamental differences between the government's low fertility policy and public perception of it. To this end, we selected four times 'Aging Society and Population Policy' documents and news comments for two weeks immediately after announcement of the third and fourth Policy as analysis targets. Then we conducted word frequency analysis, co-occurrence analysis and CONCOR analysis. As a result of analyses, first, direct childcare support during the first and second periods, and a social structural approach during third and fourth periods were noticeable. Second, it was revealed that both policies and comments aim for the work-family compatibility in 'parenting'. Lastly it was showed public interest in environment of raising children and the critical mind to effectiveness of the policy. This study is meaningful in that it confirmed the public perception using big data analysis, and it will help improve the direction for the future low fertility policy.

  • Due to the rapid increase of vehicles on the street, Korean society is facing worsening traffic congestions and air pollutions. Also, the oil price pickup has led to increasing need for the use of public transportation. In particular, transfering among public transportation may be a main factor for riders who are commuting for a long distance journey. In order to ensure such connectivity, transfer stations have been actively built in Korea. However, it would be necessary to shift those vehicles, from cars to public transportations by enhancing the users' satisfaction with public transportation through strategies for minimizing the users' waiting cost by building an efficient connective system between transportation modes as well as the preparation of aforementioned transfer stations. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an algorithm for minimizing transferring passengers' waiting costs based on service intervals of linked buses within the transfer facilities. In order to adjust the service interval, we calculated the total costs, involving the wait cost of transfer passengers and bus operation costs, and produced an allocation interval, that would minimize the costs. We selected a KTX departing from Seoul station, and a No. 6014 bus route in Gwangmyeong city where it starts from the Gwangmyeong station in order to for verifying the model. Then, the transfer passengers' total waitting cost was reduced equivalent to the maximum of 212 minutes, and it revealed that the model performed very effectively.
