  • 뮤지컬은 유럽의 오페라로 대표되는 서구 음악극 전통에서 시작된 대중예술 장르로서 20세기 미국 브로드웨이를 중심으로 꽃을 피웠으며, 현재 전 세계적으로 공연예술 분야에서 대중의 큰 사랑을 받고 있는 상업예술 가운데 하나라 할 수 있다. 이 장르의 특성 상 드라마의 전개나 캐릭터의 표현 등은 말이나 몸짓이 아닌 음악을 주요 매개체로 사용하며, 그 음악의 스타일은 특정 계층이 아닌 대중의 기호에 민감하게 반응한다. 근대화는 곧 서양화이고 일본이 조선의 개화에 책임을 져야한다는 일제의 식민주의 음악교육은 조선 민중에게 일본 이데올로기 및 문화를 강제적으로 주입함으로써 일본에의 협력과 순종을 이끌어내기 위한 것이었다. 일제가 편찬한 "보통교육 창가집"을 교재로 한 식민주의 음악교육은 한민족의 음악적 정체성이 일본음악 및 서양음악으로 전환되는 계기가 되었다. 또한 해방 이후 냉전체재 하에서 미국의 대외정책에 따른 친미적 남한 정부 수립을 위한 자본주의 경제 메커니즘과 더불어 '미8군 쇼 무대'와 '영화'로 대표되는 미국 대중문화, 이 두 가지 요소들의 유입으로 인한 비가시적인 '문화제국주의'의 영향으로 우리의 전통음악은 '국악'이라는 단어에 갇혀 '과거의 음악'이라는 의미로 한정되어지게 되었다. 우리나라는 해방 이후 미국 대중문화의 유입으로 뮤지컬을 접하게 되었고, 우리 전통예술의 현대화를 통한 '건전한 문화'의 보급을 지향한 당시 박정희 정권의 문화정책 기조에 따라 '한국적 뮤지컬'을 지향하는 '예그린악단'이 창단되었다. 그러나 우리 민족예술을 기반으로 현대화 된 공연예술을 만들고자 했던 계획은 1966년 <살짜기옵서예>의 성공으로 가능성을 보였으나, 이후 정권 실세의 후원 중단 등의 이유로 더 이상 주체적으로 운영할 능력을 상실한 관변단체로 전락하는 운명에 처하면서 무산되고 만다. 일제의 식민주의 음악교육과 해방 이후 미국 대중문화의 유입이라는 문화제국주의 책략의 영향으로 말미암아 한국 뮤지컬의 태동기에 우리의 전통연희 양식이 서양 음악과의 교류, 확장을 통한 자주적인 민족예술로 자리매김하지 못한 1960년대의 상황을 초래하게 되었다. 이것이 21세기 현재 한국 뮤지컬 시장을 서구 라이센스 뮤지컬이 주도하게 된 배경이며, 아울러 서양음악을 기반으로 한 뮤지컬 창작 현실의 주요 원인으로 볼 수 있다.

  • 인공지능 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 인하여, 사용자의 편의성 증대를 목적으로 다양한 분야에서 관련된 제품과 서비스들의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 기술의 발전에는 긍정적인 파급 효과에 대한 기대감이 존재하나, 향후 발생 가능한 부정적인 측면에 대한 논의도 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 예를 들어, 인공지능 기술 기반의 자율주행 자동차의 경우 안정성의 향상이라는 측면에서 많은 관심을 받고 있으나, 트롤리 딜레마, 시스템 보안 문제 등의 사회적 이슈 또한 활발히 논의되고 있다. 이에 따라, 인공지능 관련 기술의 발전과 사회적 수용을 위해서는 사회적으로 논의되는 주요 관련 이슈들에 대한 확인과 효과적인 분석이 요구된다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 '이세돌 vs 알파고' 시점인 2016년 3월을 포함하여 2016년 1월부터 2017년 12월까지 2년 동안의 인공지능과 관련된 사회적인 이슈들을 파악하고 온라인상에서 발생되는 사회적 여론에 대하여 다 범주 감성을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 국내 대표적인 포털 사이트에서 인공지능 관련 뉴스의 수와 관련된 뉴스 제목, 뉴스의 댓글을 웹 크롤링(Web Crawling) 하였다. 사회적 여론에 대한 다 범주 감성 분석은 논의되는 이슈들의 중요성을 고려하여 단순 긍정 또는 부정이 아닌, 분노, 혐오, 두려움, 행복, 중립, 슬픔, 놀라움의 7가지 다 범주 감성으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대부분의 이벤트 기간에 대하여 1위 감성은 '행복'으로 나타났지만 각 키워드에 대하여 나오는 감성이 상이함을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 2016년 상반기, 하반기, 2017년 상반기, 하반기로 나누어 보았을 때 시간이 지남에 따라 '분노'의 감성이 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 인공지능과 관련하여 현재 논의되고 있는 다양한 이슈와 동향 파악이 가능하며, 이에 대한 대응 방안 마련에 활용이 가능할 것이다. 향후 감성 분석기의 성능 향상과 댓글에 대한 공감 및 비공감도의 가중치를 추가하여 분석한다면 사회적 여론을 보다 세밀하게 파악 할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The grafting of a kidney has been found to be the best medical treatment for patients who have renal insufficiency failure, but the patients still have experienced much trouble and apprehension. This study was done to further nursing theory developing for patients who have has a kidney graft from another person. The research method followed grounded theory methodology of Strauss and Corbin. The subjects were three female and four male patients. This study done befween Oct. 1997 and Mar. 1998. All of the subjects were interviewed by the author. Interview were done by the long interview technique and observation. In the process of data analysis, 'heart-boiling' was found to be the core phenomenon. The results were composed to 101 concepts. These concepts were grouped into nineteen categories, and then to twelve categories. There were 12 super-class categories as follows ; 'pain', 'heart-boiling', 'experience of dialysis', 'term of admission to a hospital', 'support of other person', 'dependence on God', 'direction', 'negative reaction', 'positive reaction', 'comfortable', 'lacking', 'acceptance'. In this process, 14 hypotheses were derived from the categories as follows ; (1) The more experience with dialysis that the patients have, the stronger the heart-boiling will tend to be. (2) The less experience with dialysis the patients have, the weaker the heart-boiling will tend to be. (3) The longer admission to hospital the patients have, the stronger the heart-boiling will be. (4) The shorter the admission to hospital the patients have, the weaker the heart-boiling will be. (5) The weaker the intense-grief is, the more positive the reaction to heart-boiling the patients wll have. (6) The stronger the intense-grief is, the more negative the reaction to heart-boiling the patients will have. (7) The stronger the support of other persons that the patients have, the more positive the reaction to heart-boiling the patients will have. (8) The weaker the support of other person that the patients have, the more negative the reaction to heart-boiling the patients will have. (9) The stronger the dependence on God that the patients have, the mure positive reaction to heart-boiling the patients will have. (10) The weaker the dependence on God that the patients have, the more negative reaction to heart-boiling the patients will have. (11) The more positive thoughts that the patients have, the more positive reaction to heart-boiling the patinets will have. (12) The more negative thoughts that the patients have, the more negative reaction to heart-boiling the patients will have. (13) The more positive reaction the patients have, the more free from heart-boiling the patients tend to be. (14) The more negative reaction the patients have, the less free from heart-boiling the patients tend to be. From the analysis of observed data and comparing each class, I concluded that there are four formula relation types between reaction of patients and heart-boiling. (1) If patients have the experience of dialysis, have a long term admission to hospital, are strong in heart-boiling, depend on God, have positive thoughts and another's strong support, they experience release by positive reaction to the intense-grief. (2) If patients have the experience of dialysis, have a short term admission to hospital, are weak in heart-boiling, do not depend on God, have negative thoughts, and have few supports from others, they experience attachment to heart-boiling though a negative reaction. (3) If patients have the experience of dialysis, have a long term admission to hospital, are strong in heart-boiling, do not depend on God, and have negative thoughts, they experience attachment to heart-boiling through negative reaction in spite of support from another. (4) If patients have the experience of dialysis, have a long term admission into hospital, are strong in heart-boiling and satisfaction is low, but they have positive thoughts, then they experience acceptance and harmony through the positive reaction to heart-boiling. The results of this study are expected to help the way nurses care for patients who have had a kidney graft from another.

  • Among the styles of performing arts, perhaps the genre that has attracted the largest audience would be musical. Popularity of musical has brought diverse changes in our performing arts market, and, upon emerging another musical genre, called 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy,' it has been well-received by the audiences. 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' is a word that are formed by merging two other terms such as 'Korean Traditional Music' and 'Musical (Comedy).' In the meantime, however, it has yet some problems in order to be defined as the genre that has concrete concepts. It is because the term such as Korean Traditional Musical Comedy was created being closely associated with a marketing purpose rather than a term that defines the characteristics of a genre of performing arts. Although this new musical genre has drawn attentions of many audiences by adding 'Musical Comedy' to 'Korean Traditional Music' that was not quite popular to the public, it still does not have any established forms so that there is a fine line between "Korean Traditional Musical Comedy" and another genre like traditional style folk opera ("Changgeuk"). Looking at the characteristics of the musical work called 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy, in general, first of all, it is a performance where music and drama are played. Here, the distinctive characteristic of this musical is that 'Korean Traditional Music' is sung. And the kinds of Korean traditional musics being sung are mainly Pansori (dramatic story-singing) and folk-songs, and, in most cases, Korean traditional musical instruments are being used as accompanying music. In this paper, the researcher investigated the aspects of experiment centering around Korean Musical Group, Taroo. These days, various experiments has been repeated not only for the works of Taroo but other musical work presently called 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' also. Having encompassed overall performance factors including use of musical instruments, dance, acting, materials for drama as well as music in drama, the researcher has gone through experiments repeatedly. Meanwhile, however, the subject matters that make 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' mostly attractive to the audiences are music and songs or sounds. ["Sori" also called "Chang" (唱)] Particularly, under the current situation of our musicals, the role of "Sori" is extremely important. The factor that plays absolutely most important role in acceptance and transformation of "Sori" is the created Pansori. Since the created Pansori is composed with new rhythmic patterns and new narrative poems, it tells the present story. Also it draws good responses from the audiences owing to easy conveyance of dialogues. And, its new style brings diversification to organization of musical instruments, so then this leads to the arrangements of music for Korean traditional music instruments, as well as instrumental music ensemble, orchestra, and jazz band, etc. Likewise, upon appearing creative musics in 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy,' professional music and vocal compositions have begun to emerge naturally. And, the song specialist and writer, of course, staffs including direction, lighting, and sounds, etc are required. That is, professional composition method are forced to be introduced to all areas. Other than this, there are many music pieces which are based on our unique songs and sounds ("Sori") and such traditional factors as use of lead singer for ceremony or chorus, and the method that puts weight on Pansori. Accordingly many things accomplished. However, it is required that 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' go through numerous discussions and more experiments. Above all, the most important things are the role of actor and actress, and their changes, and training of actor and actress further. Good news is there are good audience responses. 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' is an open genre. As musicals are divided into several domains according to the characteristics thereof, 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' will be able to show its distinctive features in various styles according to embodiment.

  • 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장기술(CCS)은 기후변화에 대응하는 효과적인 온실가스 저감기술로서 평가받고 있다. 국내에서는 이산화탄소 포집 및 해양지중저장사업이 2020년 실증화를 목표로 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 CCS 기술을 실제 환경에 적용하는 과정에서는 수송, 저장과정에서의 $CO_2$ 누출 문제나 영구적인 격리에 대한 불확실성 등의 환경 안전성 관리를 위한 제도적 기반은 마련되어있지 않은 실정이다. 이로 인하여 CCS 사업시행 과정에서 주민이나 이해당사자의 사업 거부 및 이로 인한 사업의 지연 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 원활한 사업 진행에 필요한 사회적 수용성을 강화하기 위해서는 환경 안전성에 대한 국가 차원의 관리 체계 마련이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환경 안전성 관리 체계의 가장 기본적인 제도라 할 수 있는 환경영향평가와 환경위해성평가 등의 국내외 관련 제도 및 규정 등을 살펴보고, 선진국에서 수행되고 있는 CCS 사업에 대한 환경영향평가기술과 사례를 조사하여, 국내의 제도개선 방향과 기술개발 및 관리방안에 대해 제안하고자 하였다.

  • "Printing is an Art of reproduction & a Technique of However printing has extended its limitation from a genre of reproduction itself and now it stands on the turning point as an art such as painting or sculpture which expresses artist's originality. Early Printing has had relations in depth with press printing in terms of information recording, preservation, and transmission. It was acknowledged value in a way of information satisfaction different from how it is valued as a pure art today. But, later printing has transferred its function from a mean of reproduction to pure art due to the development of printing skills and photography invention. It can be said that the concept of modern printing is taking over its genealogy as a creative work not as just printing. Also its expression capability is widen to dimensional printing and high-tech multimedia from original tradition techniques. As we discussed above, modern painting is very open to various changes. This modern painting aspect can be seen as an extended interpretation of 'board' concept. This dissertation raises a question why monotype and monoprint couldn't secure its position in printing history in spite of numerous artists' tryouts in its way. Monotype and monoprint fundamentally based on intaglio technique in its history. Yet, its systematic study hasn't been worked out. This is because of the lack of recognition of monotype and monoprint's originality as printing. Especially in monoprint, it has known as an early stage in copperplate printing process which is an attempt to solve the technique limitation or trial work for edition. Likewise the reason why monotype and monoprint remains at the edge of printing border ambiguously is because of conceptual, technical characteristics which are against traditional printing. In traditional printing, the concept of board is important as a method of reproduction. Different from the fact, monotype and monoprint accept the form of medium 'board' conceptually out of limited condition as mentioned. Thus monotype and monoprint hasn't stand out for several reasons until late 20th century when it started come out to public as people starts to have interests that works from famous artists are actually based on monotype and monoprint. This dissertation likes to step into the monotype and monoprint theoretically which is not well known in domestic and try to study the meaning of monotype and monoprint as a printing medium which is also hasn't been considered sincerely. For this study the process follow as below. First, look into how monotype and monoprint has a concept and history. Next, check differences through comparison with traditional printing and how printing can be understood in what aspects at the same time. After, verify how monotype and monoprint have influence on the acceptance of extended concept of 'board'. This study will show the expressional possibility of monotype and monoprint which has already known as 'tableau printing' in today's situation where adventurous experiments of printing medium are going on with the development of technology.

  • While most of regulatory communities in abroad recognize ' 'natural attenuation " to include degradation, dispersion, dilution, sorption (including precipitation and transformation), and volatilization as governing Processes, regulators prefer "degradation" because this mechanism destroys the contaminant of concern. Unfortunately, true degradation only applies to organic contaminants and short- lived radionuclides, and leaves most metals and long-lived radionuclides. The natural attenuation Processes may reduce the potential risk Posed by site contaminants in three ways: (i)contaminants could be converted to a less toxic form througy destructive processes such as biodegradation or abiotic transformations; (ii) potential exposure levels may be reduced by lowering concentrations (dilution and dispersion); and (iii) contaminant mobility and bioavailability may be reduced by sorption to geomedia. In this review, authors will focus will focul on "sorption" among the natural attenuation processes of hazardous inorganic contaminants including radionuclides. Note though that sorption and transformation processes of inorganic contaminants in the natural setting could be influenced by biotic activities but our discussion would limit only to geochemical reactions involved in the natural attenuation. All of the geochemical reactions have been studied in-depth by numerous researchers for many years to understand "retardation" process of contaminants in the geomedia. The most common approach for estimating retardation is the determination of distrubution coefficiendts ($K_{d}$) of contaminants using parametric or mechanistic models. As typocally used in fate and contaminant transport calculations such as predictive models of the natural attenuation, the $K_{d}$ is defined as the ratio of the contaminant concentration in the surrounding aqueous solution when the system is at equilibrium. Unfortunately, generic or default $K_{d}$ values can result in significant error when used to predict contaminant migration rate and to select a site remediation alternative. Thus, to input the best $K_{d}$ value in the contaminant transport model, it is essential that important geochemical processes affecting the transport should be identified and understood. Precipitation/dissolution and adsorption/desorption are considered the most important geochemical processes affecting the interaction of inorganic and radionuclide contaminants with geomedia at the near and far field, respectively. Most of contaminants to be discussed in this presentation are relatively immobile, i.e., have very high $K_{d}$ values under natural geochemical environments. Unfortunately, the obvious containment in a source area may not be good enough to qualify as monitored natural attenuation site unless owner demonstrate the efficacy if institutional controls that were put in place to protect potential receptors. In this view, natural attenuation as a remedial alternative for some of sites contaminated by hazardous-inorganic components is regulatory and public acceptance issues rather than scientific issue.

  • 고준위 방사성폐기물 처분 연구 사업이 대중의 동의를 얻기 위해서는 처분 사업의 안전성에 대한 신뢰성 획득이 중요하다. 이를 위해서 투명하게 공개될 수 있는 종합성능평가(TSPA, Total System Performance Assessment)의 수행이 필요하다. 종합성능평가 수행에서 무엇을 평가할 것인가, 어떻게 평가할 것인가 그리고 각 이해 당사자들이 쉽게 이해할 수 있는 용어로 평가 결과들을 어떻게 전달할 것인가등과 같은 의견전달논의의 시발점이 된 것이 FEP(Features, Events, and Processes)시나리오 관련 연구라고 할 수 있는데 지금까지는 평가 영역 외부의 이해 당사자들이 평가 관련 상세 정보를 접하는 것이 쉽지 않은 일이었기 때문에 대부분의 경우 일방향(One-way communication) 의견 전달에 한정되어 왔다. 그러나 인터넷의 출현으로 성능 평가 등에도 쌍방향(Two-way communication) 의견 전달의 가능성이 높아지게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 FEP으로부터 AM(Assessment Methods Flow chart)까지의 형성 전 과정을 체계적으로 연결하여 웹 상에 나타내는 방법을 개발했다. 평가 관련 모든 요소들은 웹 기반 프로그램인 FEAS(FEp to Assessment through Scenario development) 내에서 시스템적 구성을 이루게 된다. 2003년부터 시작되는 연구에서는 FEAS 프로그램과 현재 개발 중에 있는 웹 기반의 품질보증(QA, Quality Assurance) 및 성능 평가(PA, Performance Assessment) 입력 자료 시스템을 하나의 시스템으로 통합하는 연구를 수행함으로써 든 이해 당사자들이 "처분장에서 생태계에 이르는 핵종들의 이동 경로에 대한 시나리오는 어떠한 것이며, 그 관계 결과들과 연구에 이용되는 실제 데이터들은 어떤 것인지"에 대해 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 할 것이다.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the trends of original research in the Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine, and to evaluate the quality of original articles about lead poisoning. Method: The data for the analysis of trends in preventive medicine research was taker from a total of 829 original articles published in the Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine from 1968 to 1997, The qualitative meta-analysis was measured against a checklist of evaluation criteria, which were divided into 10 categories, with 46 articles on lead poisoning. The evaluation process was performed independently by two evaluators, Results: The number of articles per 100 members over the study period increased by almost 4 pieces in the early 1980s, and by more than 9 pieces in the mid-1990s. In the major classifications of subjects, environmental and industrial health, epidemiology and health statistics, and health policy and management published 370 pieces (44.0%), 137 pisces (16.5%), 322 pieces (38.9%) respectively. In the order of the number of articles, five themes about health significance, including metal exposure (73 pieces), diseases associated with exposure to organic solvents (45 pieces), air pollution (36 pieces), maternal and child health (32 pieces), and occupational health (3D pieces) received consistent attention throughout the years $1968\sim1997$. The overall mean score of article qualify about lead poisoning was 37.8 out of 50. Of the articles any information on the purpose and hypothesis described well, Of those the originality of the subjects, the form of article's (including tables and figures), and the number of inappropriate words of abstracts showed very low score. For multiple regression analyses, the number of joint research institutes and the acceptance of research grants about the article quality were statistically significant. Conclusions: The number of original research reports in the Korean J Prev Med has recently increased and their subjects bave diversified. Of the basis of this study, the articles need improvement in the areas of abstracts, tables and illustrations (figures), etc. The Korean Society for Preventive Medicine will revise contribution regulations for manuscripts submitted to the Korean J Prev Med. Future studies should address these issues and perform the quantitative mata-analysis about the specific subjects including the quality of articles.
