The purpose of this study is to extract the conceptual nature of contextualization in mathematical problems and to analyze problems according to its conceptual framework based on the perspective of RME (Realistic Mathematical Education) which emphasizes mathematising through realistic context in mathematics textbooks of the 4th grade in Korean textbooks and the U. S. materials. "Contextualization" was analyzed by three elements such as everydayness, variety, and mathematical immanence. As results, Korean textbook showed much less in the amount of contextual problems and also represented lower contextualization in contextual problems than that of American textbooks.

This research proposes contextual space expression as a possibility of solution methods for local and historical issues, the matters that our contemporary architecture has to overcome. When modernistic architecture aimed for anonymous public interests denying the characteristics in historical and spacial contexts, postmodern architecture and regional architecture, etc have been striving to revive discontinued contextual meanings using various historical and environmental elements. While such attempts only borrowed architectural materials by superficially understanding the context, they could not comprehend ceaselessly changing contexts sufficiently. Choosing Jean Nouvel as one of the architects that can explain spatial plan to properly respond to such ever-changing, contemporary contexts, the researcher intended to understand his line of expressional characteristics of his architectural space and analyze his works as examples.

In this paper, I introduce what Boundary-Shifting theories of vagueness (or Contextualism about vagueness) are and what the Context-Fixing Argument is, which is the most powerful and plausible objection to Boundary-Shifting theories. The basic idea of the Context-Fixing Argument is that vagueness still remains even if we hold the context fixed. Many objections based on this simple idea can be found in the literature on Boundary-Shifting theories. It seems that, without a convincing response to the Context-Fixing Argument, Boundary-Shifters must be in trouble. But, oddly, defenders of Boundary Shifters have said very little about this matter. In this situation, ${\AA}$kerman and Greenough try to defend Boundary-Shifting theories of vagueness by suggesting several answers. In this paper, I critically examine their suggestions and develop a new answer to the Context-Fixing Argument.

본 논문에서는 사용자 중심의 커뮤니티를 정의하고, 사용자의 맥락 정보를 이용한 커뮤니티 구성 방법과 맥락정보 변화에 따른 동적 커뮤니티 재구성 방법을 제안한다. 최근 유비쿼터스 스마트 공간에서 협업 서비스를 제공하기 위한 방법으로 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 기존 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅 관련 연구에서는 정적인 커뮤니티 구성으로 인해 사용자의 행동 변화에 따른 커뮤니티의 동적 구성이 어렵다. 따라서 커뮤니티를 사용자의 행동에 따라 구성하기 위해서는 사용자 맥락 정보를 이용하는 것이 필요하다. 제안된 방법은 사용자 중심의 정형화된 맥락 모델을 이용하여 사용자의 관심사를 추론하고 커뮤니티의 목적을 설정한다. 그리고 주기적인 사용자의 맥락 정보 감시를 통해 사용자의 행동 변화에 따라 동적으로 커뮤니티 재구성이 가능하게 한다. 커뮤니티 관리 모듈은 사용자의 맥락 정보를 이용하여 구성원들 사이의 관계성을 분석하고, 분석된 관계를 바탕으로 커뮤니티의 특성을 결정한다. 제안된 기법의 유용성을 검증하기 위해서, 맥락인식 기반의 증강현실 경험 공유 시스템을 이용하였고, 사용자의 맥락 정보의 변화에 따른 동적 커뮤니티 구성과 커뮤니티 구성원들간의 콘텐츠에 대한 선택적 공유를 실험하였다. 제안된 방법을 활용하면 선택적 공유를 위한 동적 커뮤니티 구성이 가능하게 될 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The relationship between retinal conditions such as macular thickness and retinal volume of the eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC) and visual acuity was investigated. Methods: A total of 136 eyes from 78 subjects was divided into 5 groups: CSC eyes under treatment and its asymptomatic contralateral eyes, fully cured CSC eyes after the diagnosis and its contralateral, and normal eyes. Their uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), retinal thickness and retinal volume were further examined. Results: All of UCVA, BCVA, retinal thickness and retinal volume of CSC eyes under treatment were significantly different from those of asymptomatic contralateral eyes, fully cured CSC eyes and normal eyes. BCVA of the asymptomatic contralateral eyes was not significantly different from it of normal eyes, however, its retinal thickness and volume were significantly different from those of normal eyes. Increased degree of retinal volume along with the increase of retinal volume was greater in CSC eyes and its asymptomatic contralateral eyes, fully cured CSC eyes and its contralateral eyes than normal eyes. Conclusions: From the present study, it was revealed that the retinal thickness and volume of asymptomatic contralateral eyes of CSC increase as well as CSC eyes, and the change of BCVA due to CSC occurs only when the retinal thickness and volume increase in some extent.

This study examined the effects of emotional content on the encoding process of emotional stimuli and the effects of emotional context on those of neutral stimuli. It was examined whether the superior memory of emotional stimuli is due to attentional resource allocation. This study were performed an emotional picture and a neutral word were presented in succession at every trials. The results of recognition judgement showed superior memory of emotional pictures than neutral pictures, but showed poorer memory of neutral words in emotional context than those in neutral context. LPC(Late Positive Complex) of ERP results showed the similar pattern: higher amplitude by emotional pictures than neutral pictures, and lower amplitude by neutral words in emotional context than those in neutral context. This result is considered to support attention allocation hypothesis.

Visual communication based on socio-cultural context, such as emoticons on social media, is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to study the visual expression of metonymy as a means to correctly understand the communication method in the age of visual culture. The purpose of this study is to explore how metonymy is visualized within a cultural context. Specifically, , a typical underlying phenomenon of metonymy expression, and the expression principles of various reproduced through it are identified by pairing them with the cultural context. Based on context theory, which is a representative discourse in the social science field, emoticons from in high context and emoticons in in low context were selected and compared as case study subjects. The major findings are: First, a visual application model of metonymy was proposed regarding the process through which metonymy is reproduced as a visual result. Second, the types of metonymy and their salience attribute applied to the emoticon expression method was identified in detail. Third, based on the contextual theory, how the characteristics of high-context visual metonymy differ from that of low-context visual metonymy were presented. In the future, the results of this study can be used as a criterion for judging the local acceptability and local suitability of design results in the design development process that requires the use of localization strategies.

The fourth industrial revolution and creative economy are in the center of today's economic environments. In this context, venture companies make great efforts in achieving innovative capability for sustainable growth. Especially, in order to create the innovative capability or innovation performance, they are very much interested in obtaining such characteristics of organizational ambidexterity as exploration and exploitation. Thus, this study aims to study the organizational contextual ambidexterity as a key factor to create SMEs' performance and to conduct an empirical research with the data collected from domestic SMEs in order to find the antecedent and consequence of this ambidexterity. In so doing, we selected as an antecedent of contextual ambidexterity quality management practice, which is an innovative method of enterprise innovation and enterprise level, innovation performance (radical and incremental Innovation performance) as a consequence and ran a series of regression analyses. As a result, quality management practices such as quality circle activities have had positive effect on organizational ambidexterity, that is, exploration and exploration, and contextual ambidexterity has affected positively on innovation performance. It is also found that the contextual ambidexterity plays a full mediating role in the relationship between quality management practices and innovation performance. The results of this study suggest that contextual ambidexterity is essential to achieving organizational innovation performance and quality management activities such as quality circle should be preceded in order to stimulate or stimulate contextual ambidexterity.

Episodic memory consists of a core event and the associated contexts. Although the role of the hippocampus and its neighboring regions in contextual representations during encoding has become increasingly evident, it remains unclear how these regions handle various context-specific information other than spatio-temporal contexts. Using high-resolution functional MRI, we explored the patterns of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and cortical regions' involvement during the encoding of various types of contextual information (i.e., journalism principle 5W1H): "Who did it?," "Why did it happen?," "What happened?," "When did it happen?," "Where did it happen?," and "How did it happen?" Participants answered six different contextual questions while looking at simple experimental events consisting of two faces with one object on the screen. The MTL was divided to sub-regions by hierarchical clustering from resting-state data. General linear model analyses revealed a stronger activation of MTL sub-regions, the prefrontal lobe (PFC), and the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) during social (Who), behavioral (How), and intentional (Why) contextual processing when compared with spatio-temporal (Where/When) contextual processing. To further investigate the functional networks involved in contextual encoding dissociation, a multivariate pattern analysis was conducted with features selected as the task-based connectivity links between the hippocampal subfields and PFC/IPL. Each social, behavioral, and intentional contextual processing was individually and successfully classified from spatio-temporal contextual processing, respectively. Thus, specific contexts in episodic memory, namely social, behavior, and intention, involve distinct functional connectivity patterns that are distinct from those for spatio-temporal contextual memory.

The objective of this study was carried out to examine the academic self-efficacy mediating effect in the relationships of AIS educaton and contextual performance. For this study, data collected from 282 students were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 programs. Results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that AIS education had a positive (+) impact on contextual performance. Second, it was found that academic self efficacy had an effect on contextual performance. Third, it was found that academic self efficacy had a mediating effect on the relationship of AIS education and contextual performance. The Sobel test was performed to identify the mediating effect. AIS education had a direct impact on contextual performance as well as an indirect impact through academic self-efficacy. These results provide that AIS education improves academic self-efficacy and thereby be effective for contextual performance. Follow-on research needs to expand of sample and using diverse variables.
