  • Hypertext is a web form consisted of HTML(hypertext markup language) which is used in Internet. Hypertext in costume is the product of modem industrial society. Hypertext is not a mechanical technique that enlarges external capacity of human beings. It is rather a motif that extends the internal ability of human beings. It brings about the social innovation by extending the expression realm of costume and providing the various views of recognition. This study regards costume not as an artistic work but as a text which interacts in the open relationship of human body, society and culture and causes dynamic generation of meaning. This study distinguishes Plasticitic Characteristics of Hypertext in Costume with intertextuality, rhizome, interactivity in the structural characteristics of hypertext which is a typical trait of digital culture of openness and variousness. In conclusion, this study clarified plasticitic value of modem costume, which expresses vague isms and the pargidm of multi-typed culture most sensitively and condretley, and expressional forms in relation with the structural characteristics of hypertext.

  • Years ago, anthropologists gave no attention to clothing and dress; but in the 1980s, a new research agenda was created placing the body surface at center stage (Tranberg-Hansen, 2004). Now culture is seen as a process created through agency, practice, and performance-no doubt, clothing very much has a human element. Just as important, we now understand that the globalization process has both local and global impact. Highest on this local/global interaction is the process of consumption. Certainly we are not surprised by this when we know that clothes may be inspired from France, tech-packed from New York, sourced from all over the world, produced in China, and sold in shops on the other side of the globe.

  • We successfully isolated human anagen hair follicles from human scalp skin by microdissection and tried to culture them under various conditions. First we confirmed negative effect of serum on human hair follicle organ culture. As a next step serum-free medium compositions, Philpott medium, IMDM, and DHGM (Dongguk hair growth medium) were tried. Philpott medium is a general medium for hair organ culture based on Williams' E medium and DHGM is a special self-developed medium containing high amino acids and vitamins (B group) composition. As results, hair follicle in Philpott medium and IMDM showed anagen phase morphological structure, but rapid loss of hair elongation, low alkaline phosphatase expression, and very low expression of CK19. It is thought these hair follicles rapidly regressed from apoptosis. However, hair follicles in DHGM showed long term anagen phase morphological structure, continuous hair elongation, high alkaline phosphatase, and CK19 expression. These results demonstrate that high amino acids and vitamins (B group) composition are essential to in vitro long term human hair follicle organ culture and this culture medium will be useful in basic study of hair biology or application study to the development of alopecia treatment drugs.

  • Changes in the global business environment continue at an accelerated pace. The 21st century maybe remarked, perhaps, for its hot issues on globalization and diversity. Diversity may arise in terms of ethnic, gender, age and culture. Cultural diversity out of all stands out in front in modern times as more multinational companies operate internationally resulting more people to start living abroad and work with people from different cultures. In recent years, these multinational companies realized the important roles human resource management play in international trade since cultural diversity is very influential on their work performance. A well-managed human resources will ensure organizations' success to a great extent. This paper touches the field of cultural diversity and introduces human resource management of international trade as a way to handle diversity matters faced by international organizations.

  • Seafarers are one of the main engines driving economic growth in the maritime sector. The International Maritime (IMO) Organization estimated that there were approximately 1.5 million seafarers around the world engaged in international trade in 2012. Data have shown that human casualties in maritime accidents around Japan have shown an increasing trend over the last ten years. One cause is human error, which is inseparable from the human element that influences mariner's decisions and actions. The Personal Identification (PIN) Safe method is one way to systematically identify substandard and unsafe actions by considering the error taxonomies associated with various scenarios for a maritime system. The results are based on analysis of the role of the human element in commonly reported unsafe actions when interacting with equipment and other systems. Furthermore, patterns of influencing shaping factors were observed on the basis of data processing; the aim of this study was to promote safety culture and provide an opportunity to improve safety at sea.

  • This study proposes a Bayesian stochastic frontier model that is well-suited to productivity/efficiency analysis particularly using panel data. A unique feature of our proposal is that both production frontier and efficiency are estimable for each individual firm and their linkage to various firm characteristics enriches our understanding of the source of productivity/efficiency. Empirical application of the proposed analysis to Human Capital Corporate Panel data enables identification and quantification of the effects of Human Resource factors on firm efficiency in tandem with those of firm types on production frontier. A comprehensive description of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation procedure is forwarded to facilitate the use of our proposed stochastic frontier analysis.

  • Culture of Latin cultura culture derived from a translation of the original meaning of words was farming and cultivation, culture, art and later became the will of. British anthropologist E. B. Tyler book "primitive cultures, Primitive Culture" (1871) Culture in the "knowledge. Beliefs Arts. Morality. Law. Practices, including as a member of human society acquired the totality of skills or habits," he gave the definition. Culture can be seen in the human reason, of the form of action, not genetic thing by playing by learning to learn from the community and received the whole thing says. Thus, the prevalence of active cultural power of vigorous training is possible can. In this sense, our ceramic culture also reaffirming the importance of education and the reorganization is needed. Culture and what it takes to become a force larger than the act of teaching. Who supply the consumer with the culture and the sharing of feelings that can be read properly considering the skater to the consumer unless the formation of culture is impossible. In this regard, this study realized the importance of education and culture, as the current situation in our country and the activation of ceramic craft education is to provide.

  • The purpose of this vitro study was to evaluate the activity of human pulpal cells to adhesive glycoprotein-coated and non-coated culture dishes. Well known adhesive glycoproteins were used, such as type I collagen, type IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin, and vitronectin. Each adhesive glycoproteins applied onto the culture dishes. In this study, the protein coated and non-coated dishes were classified as each groups. Human pulpal cells cultured onto each groups. After 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours incubation time, radioactivity with scintillation counter for evaluation of the activity of human pulpal cells. The results as follows : 1. After 24 hours incubation time, activity of human pulpal cells were best in laminin-coated group among groups. Then fibronectin, type I collagen group were better, and all proteins were better than control. 2. After 48 hours incubation time, activity of human pulpal cells were best in fibronectin coated group. 3. After 72 hours incubation time, activity of human pulpal cells were not significantly different in all of adhesive glycoproteins. 4. After 24 hours incubation time, activity of human pulpal cells were best in fibronectin and laminin coated group. Activity of human pulpal cells in type I collagen coated group were better after 24 hours incubation time then 48 hours incubation time.
