This paper examines the crisis of public broadcasting and focuses on the European Innovation in Public Service Media Policies(InnoPSM). They define digital content as common goods and suggest the possibility of producing and sharing common goods in a non-commercial manner, rather than public broadcasting, which is represented by public service media, being privately owned as a commodity. The characteristics of the Internet and digital technology, namely connection, exchange, and cooperation, do not require any additional costs when reproducing knowledge and information once produced. This fact is supported by cases of public and private broadcasters in Europe producing and distributing digital content as common goods. In this respect, this paper critically examines the fact that restoration of publicness in public broadcasting requires establishing legal and institutional conditions for how our society can produce and distribute common goods, while also critically examining the fact that common goods can be commercialized and monopolized in the market.

Our world is communicating by digital network that transcends time and space. In such world of rich technology, people are longing for humanity and analog esthetic. 'Art' stimulates analog esthetic and 'design' is a good and easy tool to show personal esthetic preferences. This study is about the convergence of digital and analog art focusing on the researcher's artwork series. The series is derived from series. They are made by cut and deconstructed pieces from the original series. I assembled these pieces into another creation by using graphic editing programs. I looked into the succession cases of art and design collaborations and developed various design products with the assembled artwork images. Through this, I want to communicate more familiarly with the world widely connected to network viewers. There are already many fine artists making their artworks into design products. Collaboration with cultural art and commercial product provides win-win effect to artist, company, and consumer. It also creates innovative products and values. In this study, I try to design products from various fields using my artwork images, and research about how to promote the artist and art products effectively to the world.

Purpose : In order to overcome limitations in the existing conventional spectrometer, a new spectrometer with advanced functionalities is designed and implemented. Materials and Methods : We designed a spectrometer using the TMS320C6701 DSP capable of 1 giga floating point operations per second (GFLOPS). The spectrometer can generate continuously varying complicate gradient waveforms by real-time calculation, and select image plane interactively. The designed spectrometer is composed of two parts: one is DSP-based digital control part, and the other is analog part generating gradient and RF waveforms, and performing demodulation of the received RF signal. Each recover board can measure 4 channel FID signals simultaneously for parallel imaging, and provides fast reconstruction using the high speed DSP. Results : The developed spectrometer was installed on a 1.5 Tesla whole body MRI system, and performance was tested by various methods. The accurate phase control required in digital modulation and demodulation was tested, and multi-channel acquisition was examined with phase-array coil imaging. Superior image quality is obtained by the developed spectrometer compared to existing commercial spectrometer especially in the fast spin echo images. Conclusion : Interactive control of the selection planes and real-time generation of gradient waveforms are important functions required for advanced imaging such as spiral scan cardiac imaging. Multi-channel acquisition is also highly demanding for parallel imaging. In this paper a spectrometer having such functionalities is designed and developed using the TMS320C6701 DSP having 1 GFLOPS computational power. Accurate phase control was achieved by the digital modulation and demodulation techniques. Superior image qualities are obtained by the developed spectrometer for various imaging techniques including FSE, GE, and angiography compared to those obtained by the existing commercial spectrometer.

Neo-liberalism after IMF bailout made the Korean book market flushing with rose due to the alleged self-development books. Vision of self-development books under neoliberal social system is inevitably reduced to a means of capital pursuing commercialization in line with improving the competitiveness of privates through the development of human resources. Characteristics of self-development books, which attributes personal fail to personal responsibility and lack of essential element compared to others in a competitive society, trap individuals forced to choose into anxiety and helplessness. Self-development and healing is a complementary relationship. Human beings needs healing -healing humanities- in the process of self-development. Therefore, humanities should trigger developing and perceiving his own 'reflexive life skills'. Individual's sense of happiness in life and his own experience is very important, and the conscious relationship about their own feelings could elicit 'self-reinforcement'.

This study conducted a quantitative research on the artistic perception and acceptance of value among buyers of commodified digital art known as NFT artworks. NFTs, digital assets, have shown rapid growth as investment products, but recently there has been a trend of declining value. However, NFT art, characterized by uniqueness and scarcity, continues to undergo continuous development to create new opportunities and values. Nonetheless, there are also negative opinions regarding NFT art itself as a form of technological art, as well as concerns about copyright disputes and fears of a bubble due to the conversion of physical artworks into NFTs. Predicting the value of artworks targeting specific demographics is difficult, and the value of innovative art such as NFT art, which changes along with the fluctuation of cryptocurrency values, is even more challenging to predict. Therefore, through research on the buyers who play a crucial role in the growth and development of this new form of art, the study aims to contribute to the expansion of NFT art.
