This paper suggests an inquiry into the characteristics and implications of urbanscapes produced by Internet cafes, widely called PC Bangs in Korea, and their effects on the motions and boundaries of human bodies as cyborgs which exist in between actual and virtual spaces or between human and machine spaces in PC Bangs. The paper, which is organised into two main sections, first investigates the streetscapes of PC Bangs as electronic architectural spaces and suggests the urban electronic space of PC Bangs in terms of hypertext space. Then, it looks at the effects of PC Bangs on human bodies which exist as human-machine hybrids or cyborgs in PC Bangs. The paradoxical socio-spatial characteristics of PC Bangs as third, liminal or hybrid spaces between actual and virtual spaces or between human and machine spaces can be explained as follows. Firstly, there appear both nomadic and sedentary landscapes in that people in PC Bangs move in virtual spaces on the one hand, and are static in actual spaces on the other hand. Secondly, both open and closed spaces are shaped in that although PC Bangs act as open or public electronic spaces, they involve invisible social boundaries, forming the gendered space of masculinism. Thirdly, the boundaries of the human body are extended and are shrunk at the same time in that while the sensory boundaries of the body in PC Bangs are extended through electronic networks, its social boundaries are shrunk through the imaginary space of solipsism. Thus and finally, PC Bangs can be characterised not only as social spaces entailing embodied and gendered landscapes, but also as non-places involving the cyborg landscapes of human-machine connections.

우리나라는 최근에 IMF 에 재정적 지원을 요청하는 상황이 계기가 되어 국가경쟁력과 삶의 질 측면에 상당한 관심을 가지게 되었다. 이러한 환경변화는 사회저변에 효율성을 강조하는 풍토를 확산시키고, 위기상황의 재발방지를 위해 그 원인을 분석하고 대안을 마련하는 등 사회 전반적으로 각고의 노력을 촉발시키게 하는 계기가 되었다. 이러한 논의들 중에 눈에 띄는 한가지는 과학과 기술사이의 관계에 관한 논쟁인데, 최근에 활발히 논의되고 있는 과학과 기술사이의 연계는 미국을 중심으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 연구들은 대체적으로 과학과 기술사이에는 상당한 정도의 상관관계가 있고, 이 둘 사이는 서로 상호작용하면서 경제성장을 이끄는 역할을 한다고 주장하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 논의들을 국내에 적용시킴으로써 해외의 사례가 우리에게 시사점이 될 수 있는지 체계적으로 분석하려고 시도하였다. 과학과 기술사이의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여, 과학의 연구성과를 대변하는 대용치로 SCI논문을 사용하였고, 이러한 연구성과가 얼마만큼 사회에 파급되어 산업화 또는 상업화되었는지를 측정하기 위해 특허출원수를 추출하여, 연구의 목적에 맞게 modify 하는 과정을 거쳤으며, 추세분석과, 상관관계분석 그리고 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구는 실증분석을 통하여, 과학과 기술사이에는 일부 소수의 영역을 제외하고 매우 높은 상관관계가 있음을 발견하였고, 우리나라의 주력산업이었던 기계분야의 쇠퇴를 실증적으로 확인 할 수 있었으며, 정부의 적극적인 지원아래 폭발적으로 성장하였던 IT분야의 증가추세를 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국가경쟁력의 근간이 되는 연구개발부문에 경제논리를 배제하는 지속적인 투자를 제언함으로써, 국가경쟁력 제고와 삶의 질 향상이라는 두 마리 토끼를 잡을 수 있는 방안은 과학과 기술의 유기적인 연계에 있음을 밝히고 있다. 건설을 위한 정책적 시사점과 동북아 연구개발정보 Portal 및 APEC APGrid 연구망 등의 구체적인 정보인프라 구축방안을 도출하였다.술 주기를 도출하고, 산업 내 평균 권리 청구 항목 수를 이용하여 각 산업의 기술 범위를 비교하였다. 각각의 동적 분석을 통해 시간에 따른 변화 양상이 관찰하였고, ANOVA 분석을 이용하여 통계적 유의성을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 현재의 기술 패러다임 내에서 Pavitt이 제시한 산업 분류의 근거를 보충 설명하였고 특허 정보를 이용하여 기술혁신의 산업별 유형에 대한 폭넓은 분석방법을 제시하였다.별 시간대별 효과분석을 통하여 정책의 시행여부가 결정되어야 할 것이다. 한편, 화물전용차선의 설치로 인한 물류비용의 절감을 보다 효과적으로 달성하기 위해서는 종합류류 전산망의 시급한 구축과 함께 화물차의 적재율을 높이고 공차율을 낮출 수 있는 운송체계의 수립이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 그라나 이러한 화물전용차선의 효과는 단기적인 치유책일 수밖에 없기 때문에 물류유통 시설의 확충을 위한 사회간접자본의 구축을 서둘러 시행하여야 할 것이다.으로 처리한 Machine oil, Phenthoate EC 및 Trichlorfon WP는 비교적 약효가 낮았다.>$^{\circ}$E/$\leq$30$^{\circ}$NW 단열군이 연구지역 내에서 지하수 유동성이 가장 높은 단열군으로 추정된다. 이러한 사실은 3개 시추공을 대상으로 실시한 시추공 내 물리검층과 정압주입시험에서도 확인된다..

The objective of this study was to determine the microtubule assembly and chromatin configuration during the first cell cycle in bovine oocytes following injection of spermatozoon, sperm head and tail. The microtubule and chromatin configuration was imaged with fluorescent labeled monoclonal ${\alpha}$-tubulin antibody and propidium iodide under laser scanning confocal microscope. Microtubule and chromatin dynamics in bovine oocytes following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were not different from those observed during in vitro fertilization (IVF). Following ICSI, the microtubular aster was observed around sperm midpiece. During pronuclear formation, the sperm aster was enlarged and seen around male and female pronuclei. At mitotic metaphase, the microtubular spindle assemble astral poles and chromosomes were aligned on the spindle equator. At mitosis, asters were concentrated to each spindle pole and they filled the cytoplasm. After injection of the isolated sperm head, the microtubular aster was not seen around sperm head in any cases (0/18). Instead, microtubules were organized from the cytoplasm, which filled the whole cytoplasm during pronuclear apposition. These microtubules seem to move male and female pronuclei. These results suggest that isolated sperm head can develop into normal pronucleus in mature bovine oocytes, and competent to participate syngamy with the ootid chromatin. The functional microtubules following isolated sperm head injection in bovine oocytes appeared to be organized solely from maternal stores.

The purpose of this study is to identify the conflict frames in the process of designating the national geopark, among local residents, geology experts, and local public officials. For this purpose, the progress of the public hearing on the implementation of the national geopark in Buan and Gochang were recorded with prior consent from the participants and transferred in text form. Subsequently, we developed a reference frames for analyzing conflict frames through literature review, and analyzed the conflict frames by three researchers based on this. These analyzed conflict frames were again analyzed by using semantic network analysis. The results are as follows. In the Buan area, 'Sagree' frame, 'Snot' frame, and 'Sdisagree' frame showed high eigenvector centrality, and 'Gharm' frame and 'Cmeconomy' frame were closely connected to the 'Snot' frame located at the center of the semantic network. In the Gochang area, 'Aresource' frame, 'Cmexample' frame, and 'Gharm' frame showed high eigenvector centrality, and 'Gharm' frame and 'Cmproblemsolution' frame were closely connected to the 'Snot' frame located at the center of the semantic network. Through these results, we could see that there is still the conflict about the certification of national geopark between stakeholders in Buan, and that Gochang's stakeholders are proudly aware of their own resources. The Buan's stakeholders focused on economic gains in resolving conflicts, while Gochang's stakeholders focused on problem solving. This result of this study provides information in conflict from the national geopark in other regions.

This study empirically investigated the relationship among knowledge transfer, network(firm network and government network) and performance Korean MNCs' subsidiaries in terms of absorptive capacity and entry mode roles in China. For this, absorptive capacity was established as an independent variable, mediating variable, and moderating variable. And the entry mode was divided into single investment and joint venture and set to the moderating variable. Data for the analysis of actual proof was randomly selected from the companies which was established more than 3 years before KOTRA 'The overseas expansion Korean company directory (2014)'. Questionnaires to 138 Chinese subsidiaries of Korean MNCs were collected by FAX and E-mail. AMOS was utilized and collected data investigated the role of the absorption capacity and entry mode as the covariance structure analysis. The empirical analysis showed that absorption capacity has a direct influence on management performance as an independent variable with the network (firm network and government network). It only has a partial mediating role between enterprise networks and management performance, and no meaningful result was gained as its moderationg role bewteen the exogenous variable and management performance. And in terms of Korean companies' moderating role in entering China, they have a moderating role between government network, absorption capacity and management performance, but did not show a statistically significant result between knowledge transfer, enterprise network and management performance. Absorption capacity, as the variable affecting overseas subsidiary's management performance, should not be considered a mediating or moderating variable, but an independent variable. Since the joint venture is showing higher performance than single investment when going into the Chinese market, implication is provided for options in overseas expansion. But this research has the limitation in generalization because it is aiming at the subsidiaries of the Korean company investing in China. Therefore, it is more desirable in the future to conduct a study of the subsidiary of the Korean company entering several countries. It also has limitations in generalization, because the research was conducted using a limited number of variables, despite there are various factors affecting the management performance of Chinese subsidiaries.

We identified a competition network which has never been studied before and investigated the relationship between centrality of participants in singing competition and their winning percentage within the competition network. We collected competition data from 'Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend', which is a Korean television music competition program, and constructed a competition network. We calculated centrality and winning percentage and analyzed their relationship using correlation analysis, regression analysis, and visualization. There are four main findings in this research. First, a competition network is a scale-free network whose degree distribution follows a power law. Second, there is a logarithmic relationship between the count of competition and closeness. Third, winning percentage converges to approximately 60% for players who have participated in more than 20 competitions. Lastly, a strength of opponents affects approximately 23% of winning percentage for players with less than 20 competitions. The academic significance of this study is that we pioneered the definition of the competition network and applied social network analysis method. Another significant contribution of this paper is that we found explicit patterns between the centrality and winning percentage, suggesting ways to improve social relationship in competition network and to increase winning percentage.

Recently, Japan's territorial claims over the Dokdo Islands and history distortion have provoked the national sentiment of the Koreans. These events make worse political and economic relations between two countries and carry out a demonstration urging a boycott of Japanese goods. This study examines the effects of Korean consumers' ethnocentrism and animosity toward Japan on the product satisfaction perceived after using the Japanese products and repurchase intention. The author hypothesize that animosity toward Japan will affect negatively repurchase intention and positively consumer ethnocentrism, and ethnocentrism will affect negatively product satisfaction as well as repurchase intention Covariance structural equation modeling supports the model and animosity has significant impacts on repurchase intention and consumer ethnocentrism respectively.

여러 가지 장점으로 인해 Ni-Ti 전동 파일을 근관성형에 사용하는 빈도가 점차 증가되는 추세이지만, 초심자를 대상으로 한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초심자에서 Ni-Ti 전동 파일을 사용할 때 근관 형성의 효용성을 평가하고, 어떤 방법이 초심자에게 적절한지를 알아보고자 하였다. 근관형태가 재현된 레진 블록을 이용하여 12명의 초심자와 4명의 숙련자가 근관 형성을 시행하였다. 각 술자는 ProFile, ProTaper, Hybrid (ProFile＋ProTaper)를 이용하여 각각의 레진 블록을 세 개씩 근관형성하고, 각 파일 별의 근관 형성 시간을 기록하였다. 근관 형성 전과 후의 digital 이미지를 중첩하여 치근단으로부터 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7mm level에서 근관단면의 총길이 변화량, 만곡 외측의 길이 변화량, 만곡 내측의 길이 변화량, 중심이동량, 중심이동율과 치근단에서의 apical transportation을 구하고, 초심자와 숙련자 사이의 차이를 비교 평가하였다. 실험결과 ProFile군의 1, 3, 5, 6, 7mm level과 ProTaper군의 6mm level, Hybrid군의 3mm level에서 초심자의 근관단면의 총길이 변화량이 숙련자보다 많았다. 모든 군에서 치근단으로부터 4, 5, 6, 7mm level에서는 근관 중심이 만곡내측으로 이동하였고, 1 2, 3mm level 에서는 만곡외측으로 이동하였으나, 숙련자가 시행한 Hybrid군의 3mm level과 비숙련자가 시행한 ProTaper 군의 3mm level에서는 만곡내측으로 이동하였다. 모든 군의 3mm level과 ProFile 군의 5mm level에서 초심자의 중심이동율이 숙련자에 비해 컸으며, 초심자가 ProTaper를 사용시 더 큰 apical trans portation을 보였고, 모든 군에서 초심자가 근관형성시 더 많은 시간이 걸렸다. ProFile과 ProTaper를 이용한 Hybrid technique이 초심자에게 추천되며, 초심자들도 충분히 교육받는다면 만곡된 근관의 근관형성에 있어서 Ni-Ti rotary file의 이용이 가능하리라고 사료된다.

This study was to investigate the level of knowledge and adherence to EBP guidelines for hemodialysis among nurses in dialysis units. Self-administered questionnaire was used that data were collected. The sample consisted of 173 nurses who worked in hemodialysis units located in three different district areas in Korea. Using SPSS/WIN 20.0, t-test, ANOVA and Scheff's analysis were performed. About 98.8% of nurses in dialysis units had received education mostly from dialysis conferences or symposium. The knowledge score for EBP was 15.77 (out of 23) on average. Subjects with more than 8 years of work experience, master degree and those working in tertiary hospital showed significantly higher scores. Despite that there are internationally acknowledge evidence based guidelines for hemodialysis, the actual adherence to guidelines varies by experience, education level and types of hospital. The findings of this study can be baseline data for further research into development of strategies to enhance knowledge of hemodialysis nurses and utilization of EBP guidelines.

Objective : In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of family-centered intervention conducted with caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in South Korea through a systematic literature review. Methods : Previous studies published from 2011 to 2021 were searched through RISS, KISS, and DBpia. The search terms applied included "autism spectrum" OR "general developmental disorder" OR "high-functioning autism" OR "Asperger's" AND "parent education" OR "family-centered intervention" OR "parent coaching" OR "parent training" OR "family participation." A total of 11 experimental studies were chosen based on the selection criteria. Results : According to the findings on the general characteristics of the study participants, intervention strategies, and effects of the intervention, it was observed that the majority of children with ASD who participated in the study were preschool-aged, and the majority of participating caregivers were mothers. The effects of family-centered interventions were evident in both children and parents. In children, the most significant effects were observed in interaction and communication skills. In parents, a reduction in parenting stress and an improvement in parenting efficacy were observed. The intervention strategies employed in the study varied, with sensory integration intervention, responsive communication, and interaction-centered intervention being the most commonly used, followed by developmental-centered intervention, positive behavior support (PBS), and parent-mediated intervention based on pivotal response treatment (PRT). Conclusion : The results of this study are significant in that they confirm that family-centered intervention is effective not only in improving the functioning of children with autism spectrum disorder, but also in reducing parenting stress and enhancing parenting efficacy, and provide evidence for clinical use.
