In this modern society, the students should be able to recognize problems for themselves, and search the information which is valuable for them, and apply and utilize it. For these, we analyzed the effect of the discussion learning using the concept cartoons on the students' learning attitude and achievement. Even though there was no meaningful difference in the achievement between the experimental group and the control group, it was found that the discussion learning using the concept cartoons could be one of the ways that improve the students' problem solving ability.

As a type of mass media, cartoon has been changed by political, economic, and social cultural influences. Certainly, sports cartoon also has been influenced by them. Ever since Park Ki Jung's cartoon came out, which was assumed as the first sports cartoon in Korea, sports cartoons had been used as a means of vicarious satisfaction until 1980s. Sometimes they reflected the phases of the era that struggled to overcome poverty, and adversity followed by war. Sometimes they showed people's suppressed feelings against their society. However, in modern society, the perspective of readers changes in various ways because of the influence by postmodernism. They put more weight on individualism rather than on group, they consider individual tastes very important since personal tastes and diversity has been one of significant factors. For these reasons, sport cartoons were no more what they had used to be. By 1990s, sports cartoons had attracted readers' attention again by presenting distinctive characters, and describing fancy sports skills in cartoons trying to escape from cliche story plots such as stories about rivals, competitions, winners-losers composition, and characters' diligence. Moreover, some sports cartoons contained professional contents focusing on expert sport knowledges, and deepen information of sports. From the point of cultural industries view, these tendencies are heavily affected on sportainment industry which stands out as an emerging industry recently. The ultimate purpose of sportainment industries is making a profit by providing entertainment and amusement for their readers beyond sports games. This study focused on influences that the transition of sports cartoons affects sportainment through concrete cases in context of cultural industries since 90s. The study will analyze the concept of sportainment industries, and discuss the process of sports cartoons' transition. Once sports cartoons keep trying to challenge, and make a progress with aggressive changes, it would give great influences not only to sportainment industries but also to other kinds of pop cultural industries.

신문만화는 신문에 실린 기사중 가장 핵심적인 내용을 간략한 그림으로 함축하여 정보를 전달한다. 그러나 만화의 함축성과 비유, 짤막한 텍스트 때문에 객관적인 색인어의 추출이 어려운 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 신문만화에서 키워드를 추출하기 위하여 만화의 내용과 관련이 있는 신문기사에서 색인어를 추출하는 방안에 대해 논하였다. 연구에서는 조선일보에 게재된 한컷만화과 네컷만화를 각 1점씩 예로 들어 비주제색인어와 주제색인어를 부여하였다. 특히 주제색인어는 내용상의 연관성이 있는 신문기사를 선정하여 추출하였다.

Steganography based on Just Noticeable Difference(JND) has been used for natural images. However, it has been recognized to have defects for the non-natural images such as scanned text images, cartoons, etc. In this paper, an alternative method is proposed to improve this problem. A new scheme is designed specially for the non-natural images. Instead of JND, Noise Visibility Function(NVF) is used. NVF value and edge strength value of each pixel ate combined to decide the embedding data capacity and the visibility of data embedded images have been improved specially for the non-natural images.
