In this paper, authors focused on the difference between successful and unsuccessful items in terms of the innovation and imitation parameters of Bass diffusion model. Each item was scraped by members directly from the minihompies they visit. Top 50 items in terms of total number of adoption are classified as successful items and the 50 items whose total number of adoption was just below the average are classified as unsuccessful items. In particular, authors are interested in investigating the role of influentials in the diffusion process. Influentials are defined as those people whose network centrality (Indegree, Outdegree, and Betweeness centrality) was larger than the mean centrality in their social network. Figure 1 shows the plots of number of scraping, cumulative scraping, indegree, outdegree and betweenness of the people who scraped the most popular item among 100 items.

최근 서울대 총장에 취임한 이기준박사는 "21세기의 사회지도층은 다재다능한 사람보다 전문가로 형성돼야 하며 국가경영도 자연과학도들이 그 축을 이뤄야한다."고 말했다. 본지와의 회견에서 이총장은 "국가는 기술로 흥하고 기술로 망하기 때문에 우수한 과학기술인력을 육성하고 배출하는 것은 국가발전의 기본이다"라고 강조했다. 이총장은 또 "교수채용때도 현장경력자를 우대하는 시스템 접근이 필요하다"고 덧붙였다.

Science and technology policy a lot of implicit usjustified assumptions. These assumption without being reflected may cause various social problems. In this paper, lit is shown that philosophy of science could make contribution to resolving these problems. In epistemological viewpoints, theory of science and technology policy has been analyzed. I argue that social kinds, social entities appeared in social science should be interpreted realisticaly. Realizing this realistic interpretation of social kinds, as one field of social sciences, theory of science and technology policy can deal with the causal relation among social entities and the causal influence of science and technology policy more objectively- scientific knowledge has two components. One belongs to coded knowledge and the other belong to tacit knowledge which cannot be coded. I analyze the content and characters of tacit knowledge appeling to Michael Polany. One of the important function of science and technology policy is to make tacit knowledge more fruitful. I argue that philosophy of science fit well this function. Finally I claim that philosophy of science can help science and technology policy to reduce the ethical problems caused by science and technology.

This study investigates the dynamics of the digital divide and social inclusion in a society increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence (AI) by 2035. Using a 2×2 matrix scenario analysis, the research explores future scenarios based on two axes: the level of AI technological advancement and societal response. The scenarios range from an "Inclusive AI Society," characterized by advanced AI technology and comprehensive societal measures, to an "AI Polarized Society," marked by rapid AI advancement but fragmented social responses, exacerbating inequalities. The study emphasizes the critical role of both technological and social strategies in addressing the challenges of AI-driven societies. It provides policy recommendations to mitigate potential disparities, highlighting the need for inclusive education, equitable access to AI benefits, and adaptive governance frameworks. The findings aim to inform policymakers and stakeholders about the impacts of AI on social inclusion and the digital divide, proposing strategies for fostering a balanced and equitable AI future.

Recently, police agency and social scientists' interest in the criminal profiling is increasing. Since serial killings had sharply increased during 1960s in U.S. the American law enforcement agency were pushed to solve those criminal incidents. Therefore, they drew various investigative techniques. But there are no study for the criminal profiling of arsonists. So, this paper reviewed prior studies on the arsonist's type and suggested how to apply this kind of basic information for investigating arson cases in Korea.

With the intention of revealing that biological determinism is not the truth verified as scientific facts but ideology which conceals or reproduces the white male-centered social order of western capitalism, this article considered the peculiarities of human being from a perspective of cultural anthropology and examined the social contexts of biological determinism. From these studies, it found that the human is not born, but rather become, that biological determinism, from phrenology and social evolutionism to social biology and IQ determinism, emerged for the breakthrough of crisis in which a number of disclosed social contradictions drove the established ruling order into a collapse, and that it cannot but function as dominant ideology rationalizing racial, ethnic, class and gender discriminations. Hence, bioscience must overcome biological determinism in order to be the hope of both all people and all sort of life. But it is without the transformation of unequal structures that the problem of biological determinism cannot be surmountable at all.

정보 사회는 컴퓨터 과학이 실생활 뿐 아니라 모든 학문 분야의 기반이 되는 사회이다. 자원이 부족한 우리나라는 핵심 학문 분야의 인재 양성이 국가 경쟁력을 강화할 수 있는 원동력이 되기 때문에 컴퓨터 과학 분야의 인재를 양성하기 위한 정보 교육의 중요성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 이러한 일환으로 2015 개정 교육과정에서는 정보 교육을 필수화하였고 어떻게 가르칠 것인가에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 교과서는 학습자의 가장 기본적인 학습 도구가 되는 것으로 어떤 지식을 어떻게 가르칠 것인가를 포함하고 있기 때문에 그 구성은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 과학을 인력 양성을 위한 중요한 학문으로 인식하고 정보 교육의 활성화를 추진하여 실천하고 있는 영국의 교과서를 분석하고 우리나라에 주는 시사점을 제시하였다.

홍수가 나면 가장 절실한 것이 식수라고 한다. 물이 넘쳐 난린데, 정작 제일 부족한 것 또한 물이라는 얘기다. 지금의 우리 사회도 마찬가지가 아닐까? 정보의 바다라는 인터넷에는 매일 온갖 정보들이 넘쳐나지만, 나에게 꼭 필요한 정보를 적재적소에 찾아내기는 하늘에 별따기다. 오히려 정보가 많으면 많을수록 나에게 적합한 정보를 찾기란 더더욱 힘들어진다. 이런 상황은 과학기술자들도 마찬가지. 정보의 양과 질이 기술개발에 절대적인 영향을 끼치는 요즘, 그들이 전공과 연구과제에 딱 맞는 정보를 정확하게 맞춤으로 전달해주는 것은 첨단 기술개발을 좌우하는 너무나도 중요한 일이고, 참여저어부의 국정지표인 '과학기술 중심 사회'를 열어가는 길이기도 하다. 그리고 바로 그것이, 우리 '정보마케팅'실의 존재 이유다.

재난 상황 발생 시 정보 습득이 어려워 시각장애인의 경우 초동대응 시간을 놓치게 된다. 특히나 화재사고 사상자 중 사망자 비중이 장애인은 비장애인에 비해 약 4 배 ~ 5 배 더 높으며 현재까지도 사상자가 발생하여 중요한 사회문제로 논의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 스마트 대피 시스템의 한계점을 살펴보고 한계점을 개선할 수 있는 대안을 제시한다. 초동 시간 내에 사회복지사와 소방관이 사용자의 실시간 위치와 정보를 파악해 신고를 유도함과 동시에 자력 대피가 가능하도록 최적 대피 경로를 능동적으로 결정하여 안내방송을 출력하는 시스템을 소개한다.

This study was designed to explore how learners' participation develop if provided with opportunities for various scientific practices and experiences in writing science magazine articles as an extra-curricular club activity and what factors facilitate these participation development. Data from participant observations, in-depth interviews with students, and documents were used to extract the common characteristics of the practices. The learners' development was categorized into 3 stages in terms of participation in the community of practice: peripheral participation, transitional participation, and full participation. As participation develops, situational interest developed to individual interests and value attachment. Students sought to get ideas from every day life, and finally, in the stage of full participation, advances in writing showed the characteristics of knowledge transformation. Best of all, the participants enjoyed and valued their participation showing identities as journalists. The nature of science magazine article, external scaffolding, and internalization through enjoyment and value attachment appeared to be decisive factors that facilitate the development of participation. Student's enculturation of writing for learning offers a possibility that continue to do so, even after they have left formal schooling and make a basis for lifelong learning.
