The changes in the field of high tech media promote the development of animation films, which was considered once as a decaying industry. A large success of Disney animation films in 1980's and the possibilities of animation as an economically profitable mass products allowed this art form to play a leading role in mass culture. But, the cultural and philosophical aspects of animation works are not studied enough up to this time, despite its importance. This article is focused on the study of animation as a serious cultural and philosophical text. The object of research is the Russian animation in the period of 1960-1980 years. In this time, new trends are noticed in the history of Russian animation : aesthetical experiments in style and subjects became possible since the society freed from totalitarian atmosphere after the political destalinization by Khrushchev. In addition to, it was the time when the system of state subsidies still functioned, that animation was not the object of cultural industry yet, as it happened in the period of Perestroika. In this condition, lots of short animation films, which were remarkable not only in the context of Soviet art culture, but also in the history of world animation films, were produced. This article proposes to analyze the characteristics of realities and fantasy, portrayed in the films of this period, and examine the role and status of animation films in the social-cultural context.

The study aims to analyze factors of box office utilizing big data. The film industry has been increasing in the scale, but the discussion on analysis and prediction of box-office hit has not secured reliability because of failing in including all relevant data. 13 films have sold 10 million tickets until the present in Korea. The study demonstrated laughs and tears as an main interior factors of box-office hit films which showed more than 10 milling tickets power. First, the study collected terms relevant to laugh and tear. Next, it schematizes how frequently laugh and tear factors could be found along the 5-film-stage (exposition - Rising action - crisis - climax - ending) and revealed box-office hit films by genre. The results of the analysis would contribute to the construction of comprehensive database for the box office predictions on future scenarios.

In the 21st century, the phenomenon of interaction in between fine art and design has become more increasingly prevalent. In this paper, the author has analyzed the major works of Spanish artist Eva $Armis{\dot{e}}n$ on a cultural criticism perspective, and has proposed a framework for a deeper understating of the artworks, which reflected the characteristics of contemporary art and culture such as deterritorialization of art and design. As a result, it has been found that the main theme of her artworks is about preferred attitude of a human being in relationship with others, unlike daily lives or innocence of childhood which are well-known subjects to the public. Her main female character could have been formed by blending all of her aesthetic reason, and characteristics of this era and cultural elements. It means that the area where the public enjoys the sense of beauty have been extending from the area of the beautiful to the beauty of universality. It has been found that deterriorialization phenomena, which is a characteristic of post-modern art and design work to dismantle an existing order, the repression, appeared in her work. However, several research areas of her works such as relationship between text and image or formative elements or aphorism etc. still have remained to be solved.

Our research team has developed diagnosis papers which diagnose reading ability of students, reading materials and guidance of reading method which are proper for reading ability and various appreciation expression activities in the leveled reading supporting system applying the multimedia techniques, which is developed as a previous research for reading education that considers the reading ability and level of elementary school students. However some difficulties have been raised in activities after reading proper for level because we suggested them all the same regardless of level though we proposed the reading methods and reading materials by level, We tried to develop the leveled activities post-reading applying multimedia techniques which are proper for reading ability of students and exam the effects of leveled reading supporting system considering the subordinate goal of 7th Korean curriculum of elementary school and the ICT standard of the Education Ministry on this thesis for promoting an interest in reading of students. The leveled activities after reading which are applying multimedia techniques could be guided and applied on the web, and helped develop the reading ability and self-leading learning ability by raising the interest and concern of students in the activities after reading because the multimedia elements, instead of existing text, were added to the expression.

We present an experimental framework to analyze the physical reactions and causal factors of Visually Induced Motion Sickness (VIMS) using electroencephalography (EEG) signals and vital signs. We studied eleven subjects who are voluntarily participated in the experiments and conducted online and offline surveys. In order to simulate videos including global motions that could cause the motion sickness, we extracted global motions by optical flow estimation method from hand-held captured video recordings containing intense motions. Then, we applied the extracted global motions to our test videos with action movies and texts. Each genre of video includes three levels of different motions depending on its intensity. EEG signal and vital sign that were measured by a portable electrocorticography device and an electronic monometer in real time while the subjects watch the videos including ones with the extracted motions. We perform an analysis of the EEG signals using Distance Map(DM) calculated by correlation among each channel of brain signal. Analysis using the vital signs and the survey results is also performed to obtain relationship between the VIMS and causal factors. As a result, we clustered subjects into three groups based on the analysis of the physical reaction using the DM and the correlation between vital sign and survey results, which shows high relationships between the VIMS and the intensity of motions.

In the study, we introduce the trend in domestic and foreign web accessibility, as well as the legal system that ensures web accessibility. Based on Korean Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (KWCAG)1.0, we investigated the web content accessibility of 80 tertiary health-care hospitals and general hospitals in Korea. We evaluated accessibility by combining accessibility-based criteria (ABC) with usability-based criteria (UBC). ABC was limited to an alternative text for Guideline 1, using a small number of frames and keyboard accessibility for Guideline 2. UBC checked the voice service (TTS), resizing text, providing multi-lingual websites, and disclosing web accessibility policy. KADO-WAH2.0 was used for representing the compliance rate. The evaluation result was a considerable improvement from previous results, even though the rate of compliance with web accessibility was generally insufficient. There was a significant difference between those medical centers which did and did not comply with web accessibility. Incidentally, many hospitals were found to have attempted to confront and come to terms with web accessibility. In future, the following factors are advisable for medical centers with publicity or public interest: they must employ active and aggressive promotion of establishment of independent accessibility guidelines to secure web accessibility, they should effect an improvement of the realization of web accessibility, there can be constant education and promotion, and there can be an institutional supplementation, as well as others.

In order to develop a semiautomatic support system that allows researchers concerned to efficiently analyze the technical trends for the ever-growing industry and market. This paper introduces a couple of Korean sentence generation models that can automatically generate definitional statements as well as descriptions of technical terms and concepts. The proposed models are based on a deep learning model called LSTM (Long Sort-Term Memory) capable of effectively labeling textual sequences by taking into account the contextual relations of each item in the sequences. Our models take technical terms as inputs and can generate a broad range of heterogeneous textual descriptions that explain the concept of the terms. In the experiments using large-scale training collections, we confirmed that more accurate and reasonable sentences can be generated by CHAR-CNN-LSTM model that is a word-based LSTM exploiting character embeddings based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). The results of this study can be a force for developing an extension model that can generate a set of sentences covering the same subjects, and furthermore, we can implement an artificial intelligence model that automatically creates technical literature.

The purpose of this study was to investigate consumers' perceptions of sodium saccharin in social media. Data was collected from Naver blogs and Naver web communities (Korean representative portal web-site), and media reports including comment sections on a Yonhap news website (Korean largest news agency). The results from Naver blogs and Naver web communities showed that it was primarily mentioned 'sodium saccharin-no added' products, properties of sodium saccharin, and methods of reducing sodium saccharin in food. When media reported the expansion of food categories permitted to use sodium saccharin, search volume for sodium saccharin has increased in both PC and mobile search engines. Also, it was mainly commented about distrust of government, criticism of food product price, and distrust of food companies below the news on the news site. The label of sodium saccharin-no added products in market emphasized "no added-sodium saccharin". These results suggest that consumers are interested in sodium saccharin and especially when media reported the expansion of food categories permitted to use it. Consumers were able to search various information on sodium saccharin except safety or acceptable daily intake through social media. Therefore media or competent authority should report item on sodium saccharin with information including safety or acceptable daily intake based on scientific background and reference or experts' interview for consumers to get reliable information.

모바일 폰의 메뉴 구조는 하이퍼텍스트 형태로 정보를 제공하며 링크의 연결로 페이지 정보를 전달하거나 하부 카테고리로 연결하는 역할을 한다. 모바일 폰 사용자는 메뉴 조작을 통해 기능을 실행하며, 이 과정에서 선형구조, 계층형 구조, 대화형 구조, 데이터베이스 구조, 혼합구조와 같은 다양한 형태를 경험하게 된다. 사용자는 모바일 폰의 다양한 기능을 사용하면서 추상적 개념의 공간 인지를 구체적인 공간으로 이해하려 한다. 즉 UI, GUI에서 제시하고 있는 Label이나 방향표시를 따라 상하좌우라는 공간적 개념으로 은유하여 이해하는 것이다. 하드키 단말의 경우는 상하좌우키를 이용하여 공간을 이해했다면 최근에는 터치 및 제스처 동작 인식이 가능한 폰이 등장하면서 좌우 flick, 상하 flick 등과 같은 구체적인 행동으로 디바이스 화면에서 공간이 이동하는 것으로 이해하고 있다. 본 논문에서 사용자의 공간 은유를 이해하기 위해 상위 depth로 이동하는 [이전] 키의 기능을 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다. 첫째, 기능을 수행하기 위해 순차적으로 진행하는 방법보다는 [취소]를 이용하여 depth를 이동하는 것이 사용자의 모바일 폰의 공간 은유 파악에 더욱 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라고 예상되기 때문이다. 둘째, [이전], [취소]라는 Label이 가지고 있는 모호성 때문이다. 모바일 폰의 다양한 기능 중에서 [이전]는 전체 사용에 있어 아주 작은 요소에 불과하지만 사용자는 정해진 순서의 process에 따라 기능을 수행할 때와는 다르게 역 방향 Process를 사용하면서 모바일 폰의 구조를 이해하고 모바일 공간을 인지하는 중요한 요소로 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 이전으로 돌아가는 [이전]의 기능을 통해 사용자가 메뉴의 층위 구조 및 공간 인지에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이다라는 가설을 설정하여 이를 실험을 통해 증명하고자 한다. 실험을 위해 모바일 폰을 자주 사용하고 있는 20~30대 남녀 10명의 피험자에게 전화번호부, 앨범, 문자메시지의 목록화면과 상세보기 화면을 제시한 후 마지막 상세보기 화면에서 실험에서 제시하는 제시어를 보고 어느 화면으로 이동하게 될 것인지를 예상하는 질문을 하였으며, 그러한 이유에 대해서는 인터뷰를 통해 확인하였다. 이 실험을 통해 사용자의 모바일 폰 공간인지는 동일한 레벨의 단계 즉 상세보기의 경우는 수평의 관계라고 보고 있으며, 목록화면과 상세화면의 관계는 상하의 관계라고 이해하고 있다. 이러한 이유를 인터뷰를 통해 질문하였을 때, 상세화면에서 좌우 방향표시가 존재하기 때문이라는 응답이 높았으며, 상세보기 화면이 좌우라고 인식하면 목록화면은 상하의 관계로 이해하고 있다고 응답하였다. 즉 하나의 정해진 공간인지를 통해 다른 공간을 유추하여 생각하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 결과적으로 실제 단말에서 [이전] 기능을 상위 depth로 이동하도록 설계하였다면 [한단계위]라는 Label 또는 e번과 같은 상위의 개념을 포함한 아이콘을 사용한다면 혼란을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 현재 논문에서는 [이전]라는 기능으로만 사용자의 공간 개념을 예측할 수 있었지만, 터치스크린의 등장과 함께 플릭과 같은 다양한 제스처에 의한 인터렉션이 가능한 현 시점에서 추상적인 공간은 방향성을 가진 제스처에 의해 구체적인 물리적 공간으로 인식하는 경향이 더욱 뚜렷이 나타나고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 사용자의 공간인지에 도움을 줄 수 있는 Label과 방향성 표시는 더욱 절실히 요구되고 있는 시점이며, 이후 모바일 환경에서 사용자의 공간인지에 대한 구체적인 연구가 필요하리라고 예상된다.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the three aspects of the construction and common use of old document DB in the foreign countries: i) the processing of old documents, ii) the problem and improvement of DB systems of old documents. and iii) the common use of old document DB. Results from this research are as follows: The National Library of Korea(NLK) copied old documents in the foreign countries from 1982 to 2006 and published the brief catalog. The Reogang Publishing company issued four volumes catalogs of old document in Japan. The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage(NRICH) investigated old books and published some catalogs of several organizations in Japan. America. France. and all. The National Institute of Korean History(NIKH) investigated old archives and published some catalogs of several organizations in Japan. The characteristics of the Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System(KORCIS) of the NLK, the Old Books Cultural Heritage in Overseas System of the NRICH. and the Korea History DB System and MF Catalog/ Image System of NIKH were described in the DB systems of old documents, the problems of DB systems were checked over and some alternatives were suggested. In the common use of old document DB, KORMARC format and description rules(draft) for archives should be revised to adopt a new standard such as KS editions. and all the institutes involved should thoroughly follow the standards. when creating bibliographic records and digitizing texts. It is necessary to educate and train the specialists of old documents. A government organization should be established to supervise all the procedures of developing technology for sharing digitized resources. using contents. and cooperating with the related internationl organizations and institutes.
