  • The utilization of horticultural tools in Korea is historically viewed through limited materials. The garlic shown in the birth myth of the Korean nation appears to be the first record of horticultural foods. Only the fragmentary knowledge is available on the production and utilization of horticultural foods during the eras from Old Chosun to the Three States and the Unified Shilla. It seems that mutual exchange of horticultural foods between the Three States and neighbor countries was very active. Kinds of horticultural foods utilized were more variable in the era of Koryo dynasty. The situation on horticultural foods during Chosun dynasty is comparatively well known through published agricultural books and other literatures.

  • Supply Chain Management (SCM) has drawn high attention and been discussed and under investigation for over two decades. However, how Hong Kong manufacturing firms carry out SCM is still unclear. In order to open the myth on what essentials are critical for SCM implementation, a large-scale questionnaire survey was conducted together with Expert Interviews in 2003. A SCM framework was then developed in which all the critical factors were summarized, categorized and prioritized to come up with a foundation for a self-assessment system for improving SCM performance.

A totem is any supposed entity that watches over or assists a group of people,such as a family,clan,or tribe.(Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition).Totems support larger groups than an individual person. In kinship and descent,if the apical ancestor of a clan is nonhuman,it is called a totem. Normally this belief is accompanied by a totemic myth. And for the ages past,many totems for family. clan and tribe merged in one or two which comes to be a totem culture. We can know many things from the totem of our Ancestors.

  • Nanotechnology is the fast becoming key technology of the $21^{st}$ century. Due to its fascinating size-dependent properties, it has gained significant important in various sectors. Myths are being formed on the proverbal nanotechnology market, but the reality is the nanotechnology is not a market but a value chain. The chain comprises of - nanomaterials (nanoparticles) and nanointermediates (coatings, compounds, smart fabrics). Elastomer based nanocomposites reinforced with low volume fraction of nanofillers is the first generation nanotechnology products and it has attracted great interest due to their fascinating properties. The incorporation of nanofillers such as nanolayered silicates, carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, metal oxides or silica nanoparticles into elastomers improves significantly their mechanical, thermal, barrier properties, flame retardency etc., Extremely small particle size, high aspect ratio and large interface area yield an excellent improvement of the properties in a wide variety of the materials. Uniform dispersion of the nanofillers is a general prerequisite for achieving desired properties. In this paper, current developments in the area of elastomer based nanocomposites reinforced with layered silicate and carbon nanotube fillers are highlighted.

  • 사람이 다르면 인정이 다르고, 인정이 다르면 민속도 달라지기 마련이다. 불을 어떻게 인식하고, 불을 어떤 방식으로 대했는가 하는, 민족 저마다의 민속행위를 주목하는 까닭이 바로 여기에 있다. 그러나 불은 본디부터 인간에게 종속되 것이 아니었고, 오히려 인간이 함부로 다가설 수 없는 변화무쌍한 변물이었다. 그렇기에 불을 '그 어떤 것' 으로 여기고 여기에 신성을 덧붙여 숭봉하는 태도는 모든 문화에 두루 나타나는 보편적인 현상이다. 아마도 불을 얻는 데 소요되었던 노력과 그 노력의 깊이에 따른 지혜의 축적이 그만큼 길었기 때문일까. 한편으로는 숭엄한 사건을 서술하는 신화(myth)로 기억되고, 한편으로는 굳건한 신앙의 대상으로 일상의 삶에 영향을 끼치면서 규범으로 자리잡고 있다. 이를테면 원초적인 신성을 지닌 존재로서 엄중한 신격으로 숭신되기도 하고, 특별한 의례로 해마다 반복되며 규범과 도덕률로 일상을 구속하고 있다. 일상에 가까이 있되 결코 범접할 수 없는 장엄인 것이다. 몽골 유목민의 경우도 예외는 아니다. 다만 그 양상과 의례의 세부 모습이 다를 따름이다.

  • In digital marketing, means of public relations and marketing of enterprises are changing into marketing techniques of predictive analytics. A significant study can be carried out by an analysis of 'the patterns of customers' uses' using big data on major portal sites and SNSs and their correlation with related keywords. This study analyzes the origins of mythological characters in major brands such as Nike, Hermes, Versace, Canon and Starbucks. Also, it extracts related keywords and relevance using big data on portal sites and SNS and their correlation. Nike marketing that reminds people of 'the goddess of victory, Nike' formed a good combination of the brand with relevance. Most of them are based on Greek mythology and have rich materials for storytelling and artistic values in common. Hopefully, this case analysis of foreign brands would become a starting point of discovering the materials of the domestic mythological characters.

  • For this study of adolescent attitudes toward child sexual abuse, 200 students attending high school and college participated in a group survey. The Child Sexual Abuse Myth Scale (Collings, 1999) was used to measure social attitudes toward child sexual abuse. Overall, the attitudes of the respondents placed between negative and positive attitudes. Nevertheless, strong negative myths and stereotypes, particularly blame diffusion, denial of abusiveness, and restrictive abuse stereotypes were found in specific situations. High school students and male students had more negative myths and stereotypes than college students and female students. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated the variables of education level and gender as the most important predictors in explaining students' attitudes toward child sexual abuse.

  • The value of housewife occupation is likely to be underestimated because of its invisibility and myth. This study was performed to investigate social meaning of housewife occupation in the modern society using concept of psychological benefit and cost of full-time housewife. Subjectively even if housewife occupation was perceived as benefit in some aspects full-time housewife was not considered as favorable status but as costly one compared to employed housewife. The perceptions of benefit and cost of housewife occupation were different from some characteristics of housewife and related to the content of works. Finally the estimation of housewife occupation was more influenced by psychological variables rather than conditions and situations of housewife. these results suggested that psychological meaning of housewife occupation is important to understand issues related to the housewife.
