This study examines the structure of the problems of Korean newspaper reporting raised by the civil society. Based on the differences in the mode of presentation, the problems of newspaper reporting were classified into three types; prominent, associated, and isolate problem. The relations among these problems were defined as the degree of co-occurrence in the monitoring articles. A network analysis was conducted to examine the structure of the problems in Korean newspaper reporting. A $33{\times}33$ similarity matrix of the problems was created by analyzing the data from one monitoring report and two weekly media critics newspapers. The results showed that of the 33 problems, most of them were mentioned as prominent or associated problems. The problems related to the news contents were mostly treated as prominent ones, while the problems about the news writing and reporting styles were frequently treated as associated ones. The network structure of newspaper criticism based on the co-occurrence of 33 problems were divided into six clusters. Among them, the most central was the group including the problems of "unfairness,' "biased interpretation," and "vagueness". In addition, the problems were found to have different roles in the network. Of the 33 problems, two were liaisons and four were attached isolates, indicating the hierarchical structure of problems in newspaper reporting. These results were discussed in the light of two viewpoints; the absence of objective criteria in media criticism, and the need for the comparisons of the current study's results with the opinions of newspaper readers and journalists. finally, the implications for the future studies were presented.

This study is to exhibit the iconographic narrative and visual culture of ancient Chinese art. The focus of the study is the composite integration of literature and graphic forms, in particular the heterochronous expression of different scenarios of scenes occurring in different time periods in pictures of ancient art. The unity of their origins with picture narration and comic art creation is the fusion of our modern times. The ancient Chinese understanding of visual art includes the traditional style of images and their symbolic meanings. Among artistic narrative expression, imagery contemplation and visual presentation have significance. Artistic thinking is inseparable from visual articulation. It is a rational thought process through creative language interpretation in visual media of imagery narratives. The characteristics of ancient imagery thinking and the way of presenting sequential incidents in the form pictures is a creative space of time. This is the spatial thinking of modern comic art, which is demonstrated through acceptance in artistic styles. Image narration needs new forms and media styles, including integrating with cultural values as aesthetic communication is necessary.

The culture includes every possible objective forms created by humans and their shared aspects of ideas, feelings, and behaviors, beliefs and etc. The dress and its ornaments are part of the culture that expresses the relationships in objective ways and in formless immaterial ways. The school uniform represents significant meanings to the students in their school years, and it is the way of expressing their individuality and full filling their needs for self-presentation. Therefore, understanding and analyzing youth culture means understanding students' school uniform along with fast changing twenty first century civilization. Korea and Japan are very close nations to each other. Both Korean and Japanese girls' school uniform style were adopted western clothing style and went through many changes based on cultural differences between two countries. They are affected by different peculiarities between two nations and youth cultures from different cities. Therefore, this research is on analyzing how different visual values of girl's high school uniforms in Seoul and Tokyo and understanding youth cultures through macro-analysis. The youth cultures in Korea and Japan are mostly similar but there is special development on animation in Japan and possibly can find many styles of girl's high school uniform. Both nations are varying to be opened to sexual culture of adolescents but Japan is more uninhibited than Korea. In Japan, sailor-uniform can be found in fetish way in public culture. On one hand, because of most private girl's high schools in Tokyo takes an entrance examination, top-ranking students are very proud of their school uniforms and even students from other public high schools get private high school uniforms to attend school festival. This analysis showed that private girl's high school uniform in Seoul appealed as slim fitted silhouette which is close to modem woman's suit style while in Tokyo appealed as boxy style matched with short pleated skirt or sailor-uniform style. Comparing that to school uniform photos taken on the street, we can find that alikeness or more extreme styles as examples. These are influenced by different youth cultures in Seoul and Tokyo and cultural differences stands for different aesthetic norm being accepted or rejected.

The proliferation of bioinformatics in modern biology marks a modern revolution in science that promises to influence science education at all levels. This study analyzed the contents of standards in the 7th and 2007 and 2009 revised high school biology curricula and compared the contents, amount and the presentation styles of bioinformatics with those of biotechnology in biology textbooks. In result, first of all, there are some vague expressions about biotechnology and bioinformatics in the 7th and 2007 revised curriculum. There is a clear expression about biotechnology in 'life science I' and 'advanced biology' of 2009 revised curriculum. Second, more biotechnology is introduced than bioinformatics in 'science', 'biology I', 'biology II', 'life science I' textbooks. Third, in 'biology for high class' textbook, amount of biotechnology contents in the 2007 revised curriculum didn't increase. An more effort to introduce bioinformatics to science high school student is needed according to revising curricula.

A Web database System is a large-scaled multimedia application system that has multimedia processing facilities and cooperates with relational/Object-Oriented DBMS. Conventional hypertext modeling methods and DB gateway have limitations for Web database because of their restricted versatile presentation abilities and inefficient concurrency control caused by bottleneck in cooperation processing. Thus, we suggest a Dynamic Navigation Model & Virtual Graph Structure. The Dynamic Navigation Model supports implicit query processing and dynamic creation of navigation spaces, and introduce node-link creation rule considering navigation styles. We propose a mapping methodology between the suggested hypertext model and the relational data model, and suggest a dynamic allocation scheduling technique for query processing server based on weighted value. We show that the proposed technique enhances the retrieval performance of Web database systems in processing complex queries concurrently.

A case study was conducted on the development of patient clothes designs at the Korea University Medical Center, in order to provide an example of patient clothes designs which meet the hospital identity and the demands of patients and nurses. In this study, we focused on general patient pajamas and one-piece gowns worn in the obstetrics and gynecology department. A scientific and systematic design approach consisting of the following four steps was conducted in the designing process: needs assessment, design direction establishment, design presentation, and final decision. For the first step, focused group interviews and a survey were conducted to identify the needs of the patients and nurses. According to the results of the first step, 3 fabric patterns with light, modern, rhythmic, modest and ordinary images were designed utilizing the university and hospital symbols and logotypes. Fixed forms with realistic and geometric characteristics and colors, including white, yellow, blue, grey, and pink were selected to deliver the preferred image. Each fabric pattern was made in male and female versions of the color sets. The following styles of patient clothes were made with the 3 fabric samples: general patient pajamas with a U-neckline, 9/10-length sleeves and ankle-length pants, a full-length sleeved gown with openings for breast-feeding, and a gown with a deep back-neckline and button fastening. Different sizing systems for males and females were recommended for the production.
