  • As the quality of life grows, the role of cultural facilities in urban areas is becoming more important. However, due to various reasons, the location of these facilities shows the geographical imbalance between urban regions. Even though provision of road network can improve this kind of urban problem, in many countries, the provision of urban infrastructure plays a role which is magnifies the cultural gap between regions and socio-economic classes. The findings of this study are as follows. First of all, the inequality of accessibility to cultural facilities is shown over the period. Cross-sectional data shows that the higher the income of a region, the higher the accessibility index(AI) of the zone to cultural facilities at any time. Next, the provision of road network contributes the improvement of AI of high income region. Finally the provision of new facilities has a tendency that these kind of facilities are located to make AI of high income zone better. It means that the decision making by city government intensifies the geographical inequality. This result would be very useful in the decision making process for determining the number and the location of cultural facilities and other similar urban infrastructure as well. Also it will be helpful for the selection of optimal location which considered not only physical distances but also social equalities.

  • Tatan is a symbol of kinship and belonging in Scotland and a badge of identity recognized all over the world. Alongside the powerful historical and national resonance to Tartan for Scots it has been borrowed repeatedly by fashion. The pattern compositionof Tartan check is formed as a typical cross stripes that vertical line and hrizontal line meets rectangulary. And its color is much various and rich than other check pattern. So its magnificient spec-tacle that various all kinds of colors is dyed in cloth is second to name. Today we are as likely to meet tartan in a couturier dress as in a kilt or plaid. Tartan is distinctive in colour style and de-sign. It conveys personality ceremony and drama. All these aspects of its character have contributed to tartan being one of the best-known and best-loved fabrics in the world. In other parts of Europe traditional checked patterns declined and disappeared but in Scotland tartan survived strongly jist as the bagpipes also European flourished Due to geographical and cultural circumstances Scots were able to develop and enhance tartan and its remarkable individuality ensured its sur-vival in spite of adverse political and economic pressures. Tartan has been adopted as the national dress of all Scots. Lowland and High-land providing a powerful form of national cultural and personal identity. Whether tra-ditional or a recent creation whether tra-ditional or a recent creation whether a symbol of nationality or a substitute for nationhood tartan is no mean achievement.

  • The present study examined various environmental and cultural media conditions for in vitro "rescue" of cross-fertilized ovules formed through sexual crosses between Nicotiana rustica and N. tabacum cv. BY4. The response ovules to two cultural procedures was compared; ovules were cultured either separately or left attached to the placenta. Total yield of seedlings and percent of normal seedlings were increased by culturing individual ovules separately, rather than on excised placenta. Total yield of seedlings and number of normal seedlings were produced following in vitro culture of individual fertilized ovules of N. rustica X M tabacum cv. BY4 at four days post-pollination on NN medium containing 2% sucrose. In the in vitro culture of fertilized ovules, high sucrose concentration increased the frequency of seedlings of abnormal appearance. Therefore, sucrose should be supplied to developing ovules at gradually decreased concentrations. Culture of fertilized ovules from three to eight days after pollination gave increased number of seedlings, but with delayed cultral time the number of morphologically normal seedling were decreased. Hybrids were uniform in appearance and showed vegetative heterosis but flower characteristics were generally intermediate between those of the parents. All hvbrids evaluated were self-sterile.f-sterile.

  • 콘솔 및 PC 게임이 모바일 플랫폼으로 진출하는 경우 기존에 출시했던 플랫폼과 다르게 모바일 플랫폼에 맞는 조작, UI, 과금 정책 등의 다양한 부분을 고려할 필요가 있다. 모바일 플랫폼의 화면 크기 조작의 한계를 반영해 전투, 퀘스트 진행, 파티 조합, 장비 장착, 캐릭터 육성 등 게임 플레이 전반의 자동 시스템을 구축해 유저에게 조작 편의성을 제공할 필요가 있다. 또한 기존의 유료화 게임 형태의 판매 전략에서 부분 유료화의 전환에 따른 기존의 유저가 느낄 수 있는 과금 거부감을 해소하기 위해 시즌 패스, 월정액 시스템 등을 도입해 소 과금으로 유저들에게 게임 내에서 만족감을 느낄 수 있도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 게임의 일회적인 판매량이 매출에 영향을 주는 것과 다르게 주기적인 유저들의 접속(DAU, MAU)에 따른 과금 정도가 매출 및 게임 순위 등에 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서 꾸준한 업데이트와 이벤트 제공을 통해 기존 유저들이 장기적으로 게임에 접속하도록 유도하고, 신규 유저들이 게임에 유입될 수 있도록 하는 과정과 같은 발전 방안을 제시해 본다.

  • Stone cultural heritages are repaired by the use of metal stiffeners. The problem is that this type of repair has been based on the experience of workers without specific guidelines and has caused various problems. This is to suggest the structural reinforcement and behavioral characteristics of metal rods to minimize the secondary damage of materials and have the specimens tested and verified to establish the guidelines on how to insert metal stiffeners. When only epoxy resin is applied to the cut surface, only 70% of the properties of the parent material are regenerated and it is required to structurally reinforce the metal stiffener for the remaining 30%. The metal rod is under the structural behavior after the brittle failure of stone material and the structural behavior does not occur when the metal stiffener is below 0.251%. When it accounts for over 0.5%, it achieves structural reinforcement, but causes secondary damage of parent materials. The appropriate ratio of metal stiffener for the stone material with the strength of $1,500kgf/cm^2$, therefore, should be between 0.283% and 0.377% of the cross section of attached surface to achieve reversible fracture and ductility behavior. In addition, it is more effective to position the stiffeners at close intervals to achieve the peak stress of metal rod against bending load and inserting the stiffener into the upper secions is not structurally supportive, but would rather cause damage of the parent material. Thus, most stiffeners should be inserted into the lower part and some into the central part to work as a stable tensile material under the load stress. The dispersion effect of metal rods was influenced by the area of reinforcing rods and unrelated to their diameter. However, it ensures stability under the load stress to increase the number of stiffeners considering the cross section adhered when working on large-scale structures. The development length is engineered based upon the diameter of stiffener using the following formula: $l_d=\frac{a_tf_y}{u{\Sigma}_0}$. Also, helically-threaded reinforcing rods should be used to perform the behaviors as a structural material.

  • Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationships among social discrimination, subjective health, and personal satisfaction based on the country of origin. Methods: The analysis was based on 16,958 immigrants who participated in the National Survey of Multicultural Family 2015 in Korea. This study conducted stratified cross-analysis of social discrimination for the differences in subjective health and personal satisfaction. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the relationships among social discrimination, subjective health, and personal satisfaction were examined with multivariable logistic regression. Results: There were differences in experience of social discrimination, subjective health status, and personal satisfaction according to the country of origin. Groups without the experience of social discrimination had better subjective health and personal satisfaction than the other groups. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that a discrimination prevention program needs to be developed based on a cultural approach.

  • Objectives : The objective of this study was to examine the biopsychological traits of each Sasang type from a personality theory perspective. Methods : A review of different theories of personality is provided, in addition to review of ten previous studies on the psychological characteristics of the Sasang types. Results : 1. Similarities and differences were found between Sasang typology and Western theories of personality. 2. The prevalence of Sasang type was 28:36:36 (So-Yang:Tae-Eum:So-Eum), and the majority of the study sample were males in their twenties. 3. The Yin-Yang and Large-Small axes of Sasang typology were comparable to Eysenck's Extraversion and Neuroticism dimension. So-Yang type showed high extraversion and low neuroticism, and So-Eum type exhibited low extraversion and high neuroticism. Tae-Eum type was extravert and neurotic, and highly distinctive in such physical traits as Body Mass Index and blood triglyceride concentration. 4. We make recommendations for future studies on Sasang typology within a biopsychosocial and cognitive framework. Conclusions : This study demonstrates the possibility of Sasang typology being explicable from a cross-cultural biopsychosocial theory.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the seating style of children between Korea and USA viewed from activity analysis in child-care centers. Observation and depth-interview method were used for data collection. Ninety-eight children aged from 38 to almost 62 months were observed for five minutes three times during an indoor free play period in Korea and USA in 2003 and 2004. The results of the research were as follows. There were significant differences between the postures of Korean and American children. Korean children maintained floor-seating postures longer than chair-seating and standing postures. The factors such as sex, age and physical environment influenced the children's seating style, while playing-type influenced their posture. This study will contribute to our understanding of the physical environment and children's seating style according to culture.

  • Sportswear, including sports shoes, becomes a common and popular category because it gives young people a more relax lifestyle and greater versatility and comfort. It is believed that consumers prefer products of developed countries to products of developing or underdeveloped countries. This study tries to compare consumer behaviors for sports shoes in China and Korea. Our research model analyzed relationships among country-of-origin, perceived quality, perceived price, brand image and purchase intention for sports shoes in Korea and China. The country-of-origin was not found to play a significant role in Korea. But it was found to positively influence perceived quality in China. Brand image was found to play an important role in influencing perceived quality and perceived price in Korea and China. Perceived quality was found to influence positively purchase intention in both countries. Perceived price was found to negatively influence purchase intention in China. Implications drawn from this study were discussed.
