2008년 급등하였던 국제곡물 가격은 209년 들어 하락하여 2010년 상반기까지 안정세를 보였으나, 기상악화로 인한 구소련 지역의 밀 생산 감소로 러시아가 수출 금지 조치를 취하면서 2010년 7월부터 밀 가격 급등을 시작으로 현재까지 강세를 보이고 있다. 옥수수 국제 가격 상승은 사료비 상승의 주된 요인으로 작용하여 축산 농가의 수익성을 악화시키고, 밀과 대두 국제 가격 상승은 이를 원료로 하는 가공품 가격 상승으로 이어져 소비자들의 부담으로 연계된다. 따라서 본고에서는 2008년의 애그플레이션 경험을 토대로 최근의 국제곡물 가격상승 원인과 2011년 상반기 국내 물가에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 시사점을 제시하였다. 최근의 국제곡물 가격 상승은 생산 감소, 수요 증가, 곡물 선물 투기 증가에서 기인하고 있다. 2010/11년도 세계 곡물 생산량은 전 세계적인 이상기후로 전년보다 2% 감소하고, 소비량은 2.4% 증가하여 곡물 기말재고율은 전년대비 3.1%p 하락할 것으로 예상된다. 향후 바이오연료 소비는 지속적으로 증가할 전망이며, 이에 따른 세계 곡물 수요 증가는 불가피해 보인다. 곡물 수급이 전년보다 좋지 않은 상황에서 곡물 선물에 대한 투기가 증가하고, 중국과 인도의 육류 소비 증가에 따른 곡물 소비 증가도 국제곡물 가격 상승의 주된 원인으로 작용하고 잇다. 2010년 하반기 국제곡물 가격을 적용하면, 2011년 상반기 국내 물가 상승은 불가피한 것으로 나타났다. 2011년 상반기 국제곡물 가격을 적용하면, 2011년 상반기 국내 물가 상승은 불가피한 것으로 나타났다. 2011년 상반기 배합사료는 2010년 6월 시세보다 11.5%, 제분 부문은 31.3%, 유지 및 식용유는 6.6%, 제당 부문은 30.0%의 물가 상승요인이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 전분 및 당류는 전년 6월대비 10.9%의 물가 상승요인이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 이와 같이 밀, 옥수수, 대두의 대부분을 수입에 의존하는 우리나라는 국제곡물 가격이 상승할 경우 국내물가 상승이 불가피한 실정이며, 국내 생산을 늘린다 하더라도 수요량을 충족하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 국제곡물 수급 및 가격을 상시 모니터링하여 향후 국제곡물 가격을 전망하는 관측시스템 개발을 통해 조기경보를 주고, 이에 따른 매뉴얼을 만들어 대응해야 할 것이다. 한편, 정부 차원에서는 세계 곡물 생산량 감소와 수요 증가로 곡물 공급에 차질이 생길 경우 수입선 다변화 등의 빠른 정책적 대응을 위해 주요 곡물 생산국과의 네트워킹을 강화시킬 필요가 있다.

This article investigated competitiveness evaluation of Korean product in German market that it is the most difficult to entry among EU countries in order to gain the upper hand against other MNCs. Specially, this empirical study analyzed product evaluation by using country image, corporate image and purchase experience. As the empirical results, Korean economy image and general image are significant. This means that German consumers have good image for economic, social and cultural image, so these factors influence product evaluation through halo effect.

Today, many learned societies are very interested in publishing international journal, especially for titles from non-English speaking countries. In Korea, there is not many studies on publishing international journals except for some cases trying to internationalize domestic journals. This study analyzed international factors of domestic 143 titles offering DOI by KoreaScience. The analysis showed that many of these journals have low impact factors and editorial board without a lot of foreign scholars. Some titles don't have online submission platform or English websites. It is recommended that domestic journals should reinforce international factors including global distribution with visibility to be considered as reputable international journals.

Based on Merleau-Ponty and Lakoff's research on the inseparability of body and mind, this thesis seeks to explore the impact of experiences in multi-layered spaces based on media art on the understanding of human existence. The sensory experience provided by media art strengthens the viewer's physical presence and induces a new perception of reality by blurring the boundaries between reality and virtuality. Through this, it shows that it is possible to newly recognize and explore the deep relationship between human existence and the world. This paper analyzes how media art can be an important means of expanding existential experience through the connection between body and mind, and explains how the combination of art and technology contributes to ontological understanding.

Globalization brings changes to universities in particular facilitating internationalizing students exchange and curriculum diversification. Such efforts are relatively weak in education college even though the demands are high in students' global learning expectations internally and educational development cooperation from developing countries. The demands of global education arise from the increase of multi-cultural family, the compelling foreign language proficiency and others. The demands of development cooperation arise from the contribution of education to the rapid economic development. However, Korean participation focuses on vocational training which is far from the international norm of basic education provision and carried out without enough educational specialists. Global education and teaching practices in developing countries would substantiate the internationalization of education college while the effectiveness of educational development cooperation would be enhanced after learning the international norms and local knowledge which are learnt from the global education including foreign school practices.
