Nowadays, a private protection act has come into effect which demands for the protection of personal image information obtained by the CCTV. According to this act, the object out of interest has to be mosaicked such that it can not be identified before the image is sent to the investigation office. Meanwhile, the demand for digital videos obtained by CCTV is also increasing for digital forensic. Therefore, due to the two conflicting demands, the demand for a solution which can automatically mask an object in the CCTV video is increasing and related IT industry is expected to grow. The core technology in developing a target masking solution is the object tracking technique. In this paper, we propose an object tracking technique which suits for the application of CCTV video object masking as a postprocess. The proposed method simultaneously uses the motion and the color information to produce a stable tracking result. Furthermore, the proposed method is based on the centroid shifting method, which is a fast color based tracking method, and thus the overall tracking becomes fast.

Korea-EU FTA, which came to an agreement in April of 2007, was resolved at the National Assembly in May of 2011, thereby having been concluded the ratification. As for the procedure of opening a market in legal service according to settlement and ratification of Korea-EU FTA, Step 1 is allowed the establishment of representative office(law firm with foreign-law consultation) at home by EU member countries' law firms. Step 2 is made available for law firm with foreign-law consultation to jointly handle and distribute profits as for a case that is mixed the domestic law firm and the domestic & foreign laws. Step 3 is allowed EU member countries' law firm to establish a joint venture with domestic law firm. This study researches into a change and influence upon legal service and forensic investigation according to Korea-EU FTA ratification. Also, it researches into position and prospect that digital forensic evidence, which possesses the majority of legal evidences, takes up in the middle of court-oriented trials. The prediction of influence in digital evidence as professional proof upon judgment will led to being capable of coping with the opening of legal service market and of wisely preparing for the advance to domestic market by law firm of Anglo-American Law.

In Korea, the penetration rate of Internet, telephone and smart devices is reaching the highest level in the world. Cyber financial crimes that exploit such infrastructures continue to evolve. Since the first Voice Phishing crime in May 2006, ten years later, there has been a constant occurrence of Voice Phishing crime. Voice Phishing is a crime in which a victim is phoned for false information to figure out the victim's account number and password. This method of Voice Phishing evolves day by day, and it is difficult to investigate. Most of Voice Phishing is a form of international organized crime that is based in Southeast Asia such as China, and it is not easy to eradicate by international cooperation investigation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual situation and case analysis of Voice Phishing crime, and to propose the countermeasures against police Voice Phishing counterplan.

Science reporting is easier to lead to failure than other news reporting because it needs higher professionalism. According to Actor-Network Theory(ANT), not only research results(artifacts) of scientists but also science articles are hybrid networks. Namely, they are connected by human actors(scientist, reporter, etc.) and nonhuman actors(press releases etc.). When the process of science reporting is examined on the view of ANT, it is the process that scientists' results translate the media via press releases as intermediaries and expand their network to the public. This study aims at making an ANT analysis of how research results of Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute(ETRI) scientist Hyun-Tak Kim were reported by lots of media, focusing on the rhetoric of ETRI's press release. It can reveal the reason for the science reporting's failure and hint at the better science journalism.

With the introduction of video cameras into law enforcement, a great deal of police organizations have adopted the technology in their routine crime prevention activities. The up-to-date systems of ambient surveillance energized by CCTV, police wearable cameras, drones, and thermal imaging devices enable the police to thoroughly monitor public spaces as well as to rigorously arrest on-scene criminals. These efforts to improve the level of surveillance are often met with public resistance raising concerns over citizens' rights to privacy. Recent studies on the use of police video equipment have constantly raised the issues related to the lack of applicable legal provisions, risk of personal information and privacy infringement as well as security vulnerabilities. In this regard, the present study attempted to review the public surveillance methods currently used by law enforcement agencies worldwide within the context of public safety and individual rights to privacy. Furthermore, the present study also discussed the legal boundaries of police use of video equipment to address public concerns over privacy issues.

Cyber crimes caused unpredictable damages by influencing targets with means such as hacking and virus in virtual space. In specific, they transcend time and space because of their anonymity and it is difficult to punish the people who are involved in crimes. To manage such cyber crimes, we need an international cooperative systems beyond difference in legal systems between countries and 'Global Governance' was prepared as a reasonable alternative. These days, governance has been presented as an important concept to explain changed social systems or changed roles of government. It was not just a concept to replace traditional government of a single nation, but to overcome new problems on social actions of humans. So it is expected that it can help prepare reasonable measures through cooperation both in individuals and systems, and public and civil sectors. To countermeasure cyber crimes in terms of global governance, we can prepare general investigation systems and professional human resources through civil and public assistance, and provide a base on which international cooperation systems can be established.

This study suggests one of English teaching methods to improve English speaking proficiency for adult English learners. Contrary to the traditional English conversation teaching trends such as memorization of specific patterns or grammar-focused practices, the study introduces a storytelling based teaching of English speaking. To theoretically support the storytelling based English speaking teaching, the study investigates the possibility of the teaching method in three ways. First, the 12 speaking strategies focusing on contents of a story are introduced in the way of securing speech amounts as much as possible. Next, the five rhetoric components by Aristotle are introduced to relate to the storytelling teaching for the purpose of achieving the goal of speaking, which is to deliver what a speaker want to say more persuasively. Finally, through the investigation of the learner strategy uses, the possibility of storytelling English speaking teaching can be expected regardless of learners' low level of English proficiency.

Recently, discussions for the eradication of illegal shooting have been carried out in a socially-oriented way. The government has established comprehensive measures to eradicate cyber sexual violence crimes such as illegal shooting. Although the social interest in illegal shooting has increased, the illegal film shooting case is evolving more and more due to the development of information and communication technology. Applications that can hide confused videos are constantly circulating around the market and community sites. As a result, field investigators and professional analysts are experiencing difficulties in collecting and analyzing evidence. In this paper, we propose an evidence collection and analysis framework for illegal shooting cases in order to give practical help to illegal shooting investigation. We also proposed a system that can detect hidden applications, which is one of the main obstacles in evidence collection and analysis. We developed a detection tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system and confirmed the feasibility and scalability of the system through experiments using commercially available concealed apps.

With the increase of metal usage in various industries, metal pollution and ecological toxicity in the environmental system have become a significant concern. A geo-statistical index has been widely used to determine contamination level with normalization through a background value. In this study, geo-statistical indexes such as an enrichment factor, accumulation index, and potential ecological risk index were used to assess metal pollution in soil at locations associated with shipbuilding manufacturing industries. Metal contamination, especially of Cu and Pb, was observed in some samples located closer to manufacturing sites. Enrichment factor and accumulation (IGEO) values were indicative of concerning levels of soil contamination in specific samples, and the soil contamination could be induced by anthropogenic sources. In further study, after more detailed sampling for soil and potential pollution sources, high interpretation techniques such as Pb isotope analysis and X-ray analysis will be needed to investigate source identification.
