인쇄물은 크게 줄고, 인쇄기기 투자심리는 꽁꽁 얼어붙고, 인쇄부자재 가격은 계속 오르고..., 2009년 인쇄업계의 그림이다. 미국 금융위기로 촉발한 국내외 경기침체는 2008년에 이어 2009년도 지속돼 우리나라 인쇄업계는 1997년의 IMF외환위기 때보다 더욱 심각한 경영난에 처할 것으로 우려된다. 정부와 경기예측 기관들의 분석을 보면 2009년의 경제성장률은 2%선을 밑돌 것으로 보고 있다. 성장률 2%는 인쇄업계에 치명적이다. 기관과 기업의 홍보물이 크게 감소하기 때문. 특히 불황이 먼저 시작되고 회복은 늦는 특성을 지니는 산업이 인쇄업종이어서 대책 마련이 시급한 상황이다. 분야별 전문가들이 진단한 내용을 보면 2009년 인쇄물 생산은 전년대비 60%선에 머물 것으로 전망되었다. 또한 2009년에는 선거나 특별한 국제행사가 없어 '인쇄물 특수'도 없는 상황이다. 특히 2008년에 종이와 필름 등 원부자재 가격이 큰 폭으로 오른데 이어 2009년에도 인상이 예고되어 있고, 환율상승으로 인한 금융 부담이 커져 자금난이 심각할 것으로 보인다. 그나마 다행이라면 인쇄물 수출이 지난해 수준으로만 유지되면 환율의 영향으로 수출업체들은 채산성이 다소 호전될 수 있다는 점이다. 인쇄설비 투자는 거의 이루어지지 못할 것으로 보인다. 현재의 환율과 경기상황으로 볼 때 신규설비 투자는 불가능에 가깝다. 이에 따라 장비공급 업체들은 영업을 당분간 중단하거나 업종의 다변화를 시도할 것으로 전망된다. 다만 블루오션 개발과 시대흐름에 맞춘 디지털인쇄 장비의 수요는 미동 수준의 움직임이 있을 것으로 보인다. 다음은 분야별로 전문가들이 보는 전망이다.

Recently, Chat GPT artificial intelligence (AI) is of keen interest to all governments, companies, and military sectors around the world. In the existing era of literacy AI, it has entered an era in which communication with humans is possible with generative AI that creates words, writings, and pictures. Due to the complexity of the current laws and ordinances issued during the recent national crisis in Korea and the ambiguity of the timing of application of laws and ordinances, the golden time of situational measures was often missed. For these reasons, it was not able to respond properly to every major disaster and military conflict with North Korea. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to revise the National Crisis Management Basic Act, which can act as a national tower in the event of a national crisis, and to promote artificial intelligence governance by linking artificial intelligence technology with the civil, government, military, and police.

This paper is to see what appears to be an economic crisis as urban crisis, to explore its emerging process and its major distinctive figures in the context of S. Korea, and to consider alternatives to overcome such an urban crisis. For this purpose, it first tries to show that the capitalist economic development (i.e. capital accumulation) has been stimulated and driven largely by extending investments into built environments. Then it analyzes how crises of overaccumulation, coupled with other crises such as the IMF crisis in 1997 and the financial crisis in 2008 which have been brought about by serious impacts of foreign financial capitals working on the global level, have led to accumulating of huge surplus reserves within both big companies and the central government on the one hand, increasing tremendously debts of households as well as government and private companies on the other. In particular, the debt crisis seems to be accelerated by fictitious capital generated through government's financial strategies to promote both supplies and demands in housing and property markets. There seem several ways of overcoming the urban crisis spiraled around accumulating surplus capital and increasing financial debt; raising real income, moderating investments into built environment, and increasing inputs into the fields of technology and well-being. In order to open up these ways, it is concluded, recent urban movements in terms of the right to the city are required not only to make the government and capital to do so, but also to realize interest of urban people who have produced such surplus but who are suffering from the debt crisis.

Recently, alarmed by the frequent international terrorism or safety accidents, the host countries of world sports events are focusing on security activities for the sake of the participants, facilities, events and competitions. They are alarmed because in case any happenings like international terrorism or safety accident, the contest itself can be criticized to be a failure as much as the international reliability of the host nation may well crash. We can see that any failure in coping with terrorism or safety matters can lead to a nation-wise crisis in the case of Indonesia where the October 12th of 2002 terrorist bomb attack in Bali damaged the image of the nation followed by the similar case in Philippine (Oct. 20th, 2002) where the same terrorist attack dramatically scared away the tourists to the nation. Korea is scheduled to hold the World Championship in Athletics in Daegu Metropolitan City in 2011. Also, it is slated to host various world sports events such as Yeosu International Exposition and Incheon Asian Games. In these contexts, this study analyzes counter-terrorism cases related with the recent international sports events that have been organized in a variety of manners in the era of globalization. This study aims to show alternatives for the safety management in these events. In other words, it is focusing on giving directions to the safety policies of the nation -which may become the future hub of north-east Asia and the world - for more perfect guard and defense, and counter-terrorism activities in all the conferences, sports events and international festivals where any private defense and guard companies are allowed to cooperate with the police force or public security agencies.

The past IMF foreign exchange crisis and subprime financial crisis had a big influence on variability of macroeconomics, even if the origin of its occurrence might be different. This not only had a significant infrequence on the overall industries, but also produced many insolvent companies by being closely linked with a management environment of an individual construction company leading the construction industry. Actually, the level of default risk of construction companies before and after fluctuation of macroeconomics gets to experience a rapid changing process, and a difference in reaction against shock exists according to each company. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to confirm the fluctuation process of the default risk of construction companies under the fluctuation of macroeconomics such as the IMF financial crisis and the subprime mortgage crisis. As an analysis result, it is judged that the subprime financial crisis gave bigger shock to construction companies than the foreign exchange crisis, and it is expected that this would have a relation with the construction market before shock of macroeconomics. In addition, it was analyzed that when comparing insolvent companies with normal companies, the recovery speed of normal companies is faster. It is judged that this was affected by a difference of internal business capacity between insolvent companies and normal companies.

To achieve this purpose, this study examined the related factors of parenting stress, family functioning, social support, and redefinition of family affecting psychological well-being of a mother having a child with austin by way of applying the Double ABCX model. A survey was conducted with a sample of 207 mothers having a child with autism in Daegu. Results from the survey are as follows: First, there were significant impacts of parenting stress on social support, family functioning, the redefinition of family on crisis situation, and psychological well-being. Second, family functioning and social support had no significant effect on mothers' psychological well-being, while the redefinition of family on crisis situation had significant influences on the psychological well-being of mothers having a child with autism. Third, it turned out that family functioning, social support, and the redefinition of family on crisis situation played a mediating role between parenting stress and psychological well-being. Based on these results, this study suggests that family functioning should be strengthened for promoting psychological well-being of mothers having a child with autism.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the apologies made in Korea for the past 10 years, and to diagnose how Koreans used crisis communication strategies. For the analysis, typology of crisis communication strategy was adopted from previous study as well as the new typology distinctively found in Korea. Also preferred crisis communication strategies were analyzed by crisis subject, by crisis type and by stage of crisis. Results showed that among the crisis communication strategies, apology and corrective action were the most used strategies, followed by bolstering and appealing to sympathy. Preferred crisis communication also differed by crisis subject, by crisis type and by stage of crisis. When the crisis subject were government or public institutions, when the locus of crisis responsibility was internal, and when the crisis was a controllable human/social crisis, the justification strategy was preferred. The results seemed to be related to the unique cultural characteristics of Koreans, especially to sense of Cheong and Chemyon. Indirect corrective action and transcendence were Chemyon-saving strategies while bolstering and appealing to sympathy were strategies appealing to Cheong. Future study should address the new typology of crisis communication strategy reflecting the cultural characteristic.

The twenty eight taxa of rare and endangered plant species of Oesorak were investigated in the field, and the results were compiled according to the literature by Lee et al.(1996). Most of the populations of the investigated plants are located in the vicinity from the mountain trails which is the destruction pressures high. Also these plants are envisaged from the possible collections for both edible and medicinal purposes by local peoples, so the conservation strategies at the levels of habitat and species must be prepared. Taxuscaespitosa of Taxaceae has very few individuals and the status of the habitats envisaged serious problems from tramplings.
