  • Recent advances in digital holography in the far-infrared region of the spectrum have demonstrated the potential use of digital holography in homeland security as a tool to observe hostile environments in which smoke, flames, and dust impair vision. However, to make this application practical, it is necessary to simplify the optical setup. Here, we show an off-axis, self-reference scheme that spills the reference beam out from the object beam itself and avoids the need for a complex interferometric arrangement. We demonstrate that this scheme allows the reconstruction of high-quality holograms of objects captured under visible as well as far-infrared light exposure. This could pave the way to the industrialization of holographic systems to enable users to see through fire. Moreover, the quantitative nature of the holographic signal is preserved. Thus, the reported results demonstrate the possibility to use this setup for optical metrology.

  • 본 논문은 '국가해양안보전략서'의 필요성과 발전방향을 분석하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 한국의 해양안보전략서의 필요성, 해양안보전략관련 한국의 실태와 주요선진해양국의 사례, 한국의 '해양안보전략'의 비전·목표·전략·수행체계를 살펴본 후 결론을 도출해본 것이다. '세계 5대 해양강국(Ocean G5)' 등과 같은 국가해양전략 비전의 달성은 우리나라가 국민의 해양안전과 해양안보를 유지·강화해 나갈 수 있을 때 가능함은 물론이다. 세월호사건은 우리에게도 해양선진국처럼 '국가해양안보전략서'가 절실히 필요하다는 것을 잘 일깨워주고 있다. 선진해양국가처럼 국가해양안보전략이 효율적으로 수행되기 위해서는 해군·해경의 협력을 포함한 관련기관의 협력을 결집시키기에 충분한 권한과 위상을 보유한 전담부서를 두어야 한다. 국가안보회의 예하에 장관급으로 구성된 의결기구인 가칭 해양안보위원회와 관련부처 실무자로 구성된 집행기구인 가칭 해양안보수행단을 설치하면 좋을 것으로 판단된다. 미국이나 영국처럼 우리도 국민의 해양안전·해양안보를 위한 국가해양안보전략을 성공적으로 수행해 나가기 위해서는 보다 더 긴밀한 국내의 범정부적 협조체제와 국제적 협력체제, 그리고 해당 분야별 해양안보능력을 더욱 보강해 나가야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 해군에 의한 해양안보전략의 수립·추진; 해군·해경 간의 작전적 연계강화; 국가차원의 해양감시능력의 강화 및 민간영역과의 공유의 활성화 등을 모색·추진해 나가야 할 것이다.

  • This study was conducted to analyze the effect of information security activities on organizational performance. With this in mind and with the aim of resolving transaction stability in the securities industry, using an organization's security activities as a tool for carrying out information security activities, the effect of security activities on organizational performance was analyzed. Under the assumption that the effectiveness of information security activities can be bolstered to enhance organizational performance, such effects were analyzed based on Herzberg's motivation theory, which is one of the motivation theories that may influence information protection activities. To measure the actual attributes of the theoretical model, an empirical survey of the securities industry was conducted. In this explorative study, the proposed model was verified using partial least squares as a structural equation model consisting of IT service, information security, information sharing, transaction stability, and organizational performance.

  • The South Korean society has experienced many changes since the sinking of ROKS Cheonan. The government reviewed its defense posture and adopted the 5·24 Measure in its relations with North Korea. As a result, the people of South Korea became more conscious of security situations on the Korean peninsula while North Korea's economy suffered badly. Meanwhile, the South Korean government has taken a flexible stance toward North Korea in terms of exchange and cooperation since September 2011. The flexible stance was to manage inter-Korea relations in a stable manner and relieve the hardships of the North Korean people while preserving the spirits and purposes of the 5·24 Measure. The UN Security Council adopted twenty-six resolutions and statements on North Korea since June 25, 1950. They include thirteen U.N. Security Council resolutions including those concerning nuclear weapons or missile programs, nine Presidential statements, and four press statements. Resolution 82, the first U.N. resolution on North Korea, came when the Korean War broke out. Resolution 825, the first one related to nuclear or missile programs, was adopted in response to North Korea's withdrawal from the NPT. Apart from these U.N. resolutions, the United States has imposed separate sanctions against North Korea. North Korea's nuclear weapons program can be considered in comparison with that of Iran in terms of the consequences they create for the regional security. The Security Council has adopted six resolutions on Iran so far. One should note that the resolutions on Iran have had much stronger sanctions compared to those imposed on North Korea. That is, while the North Korea case may be viewed as a more serious threat to international security from the perspective of nuclear weapons development or proliferation, tougher sanctions have been placed on Iran. There are two approaches that South Korea should take in addressing the related issues. First, we should aim to reduce the gap between sanctions imposed on Iran and North Korea. It is difficult to understand that a country with more serious problems is rewarded with lighter sanctions. We should take measures through the Security Council Sanctions Committee to make individuals and groups in North Korea that play a central role in developing nuclear weapons and missiles subject to additional sanctions. Second, we have to change. Other countries in the international community have become tired of North Korea's nuclear issue and now they look to South Korea for initiative. We should correctly understand this current situation and play a leading role within our capacity. Knowingly and unknowingly, the notion that the North Korean nuclear issue may be left to South Korea has been spread around the international community. Although the situation is grave, we should try to open a new horizon in ushering in the unification era by taking the initiative with confidence that there is a looming hope ahead of us. For these tasks, we should stop thinking in the old way that has been ossified for the last two decades. We should not be pushed around by neighboring great powers in dealing with North Korea related issues anymore; we should take the initiative with resolution that we will play our role at the center of four great powers and with confidence that we can do it. Based on the confidence that the Republic of Korea has become a country with enough capacity to take the initiative, we should establish a 'National Grand Strategy' representing South Korea's strategic vision that the unification is the ultimate solution to the problems related to North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

  • Developments toward a 'the end of the Cold War' are the main factor determining the situation in the Korean Peninsula. While all the combat resources of North Korea are systematically controlled and kept available for instant mobilization even in peacetime. South Korea is inferior to North Korea in terms of mobilization system and efficiency, exercise intensity and equipments. In sum, the South faces far greater restraints in wartime conversion capability than does the North. Mobilization refers to a nation's compulsory control, management and operation of its human and material resources for the purpose of national security. The total capability for safeguarding national security must be pursued by the continuous examination and complementation of our mobilization system and capability. This paper proposes an efficient management of national mobilization system that can be instantly operated on the whole in time of national emergency. Therefore, the actual operation of National Security Council is suggested to prepare operations against the emergencies and establish the foundation for national security.

  • The United Kingdom is known for the quality of its qualifications. There is a strict quality system with reputable bodies responsible for ensuring that high quality standards are met. In order for new qualifications to be accredited, they must meet all the requirements set out in the regulations for the quality and informatization of Education. The crucial role of the Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education (QAA) in the UK for creating high-quality management of higher education institutions is revealed, the influence of informatization tools on its effective mechanism as an independent entity is shown, and positive experience for the educational sector is highlighted. While the universities themselves are responsible for reviewing educational programs at the subject level, the QAA review focuses on verifying internal quality assurance, as well as systems and improvement strategies. The QAA uses a peer review process in which teams mostly consist of academic staff from other institutions to assess the quality of the institution's education. In Scotland, the team also includes an international reviewer. The student is also a member of the Scottish teams. In the UK, attention is paid to providing a cohort of experienced reviewers who can conduct high-quality monitoring and help with advice on improving education. All reviewers must complete training and have permission to participate in the review of educational programs. There are selected committees that are members of the QAA council, each of which is headed by a member of the Council or an independent person approved by the Council. Attention is drawn to the main areas of the QAA's work in the framework of environmental, social and corporate governance.

  • Primary frequency control(PFC) has the ability to regulate short period random variations of frequency during normal operation conditions and also to respond rapidly to emergencies. However, during the past decade, numerous significant sized blackouts occurred worldwide that resulted in serious economic losses. Therefore, the conclusion has been reached that the ability of the current PFC to meet an emergency is poor, and security of power systems should be improved. An alternative to enhance the PFC and thus security is to store excessive amounts of energy during off-peak load periods in efficient energy storage systems for substituting the primary control reserve. In this sense, superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES) in combination with a static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) is capable of supplying power systems with both active and reactive powers simultaneously and very rapidly, and thus is able to enhance the security dramatically. In this paper, a new concept of PFC based on incorporating a STATCOM-SMES is presented. A complete detailed model is proposed and a new control scheme is designed, comprising an enhanced frequency control scheme, and a fully decoupled current control strategy in d-q coordinates with a novel controller to prevent dc bus capacitors voltage drift/imbalance. The performance of the proposed control schemes is validated through digital simulation carried out using MATLAB/Simulink.

  • 최근 동북아시아 각국은 천안함 피격, 연평도 포격 등 북한의 대남 도발, 북한의 장거리미사일 발사와 핵실험 등 군사적 위협, 센카쿠 열도(댜오위다오)를 둘러싼 중국과 일본 간의 충돌 등 심각한 안보 위기를 맞고 있다. 특히 한국과 일본은 각기 2013년 2월 박근혜 정부, 2012년 12월 제2차 아베 신조(안부보삼(安部普三)) 내각 등 새로운 정권 출범을 맞아, 공히 주요 선거공약으로 제시한바 있는 위기관리 및 안보 정책의 정비 강화를 시도하고 있다. 그 핵심 중 하나는 최근 미국의 모델을 참조로 한 안보 및 위기관리 정책에서의 NSC 또는 그 유사 기구의 기능 확대 및 강화이다. 해당 각국의 NSC 조직은 각기 다른 특성을 가지고 있으나, 현 정치 안보 상황에서 안보 및 위기관리 정책의 컨트롤 타워로서 주된 역할을 담당할 수 있는 잠재성이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 한국, 미국, 일본 등 3개 국가 정부의 NSC 기구를 그 조직, 기능, 역사를 중심으로 비교 분석하고, 최근 이 3개 국가들, 특히 대한민국이 직면한 정치 안보 상황에 비추어 시사점을 도출해 보고자 한다.
