Recent environmental issues such as genetically modified organisms, the loss of biodiversity, climate change, and nuclear waste cannot be reduced to a matter of science or society and explained through nature-society dualist approaches because of their complexity and heterogeneity. This paper examines how nature-society dualism has been embedded in science studies and geography and how this dualism can be overcome. Actor-Network Theory as an attempt to overcome this nature-society dualism is appropriate in analysing "strange imbriglio" of biology, politics, technoscience, market, value, ethics and facts that constitute our society by focusing on heterogeneous association, and can contribute to providing a useful framework to solve environmental problems.

Current global construction market has grown at a dramatic expansion rate every year in connection with more market accessibility by foreign contractors. The market openness is largely due to globalization of world construction markets, rapid development of world-wide telecommunication technologies, the formation of collaborative acquisitions and joint ventures among contractors, development of regional Free Trade Blocks, and just name a few. This paper focuses on the formation of collaborative networks when expanding into new foreign markets. The social network analysis (SNA) is introduced to investigate a variety of the collaboration patterns and also their impacts on the performance. To this end, the collaboration cases of 600 international construction projects performed by Korean contractors since 1990 were collected and classified into firm's size, project types, collaboration modes, and performance levels using social network analysis. The results showed a direction in establishing business strategy associated with experienced or inexperienced contractors in international construction projects.

This article analyses frame transition of personal information leakage in Korea from 1984 to 2014. In order to investigate the transition, we have collected newspaper article's titles. This study adopts classification, text network analysis(by co-occurrence symmetric matrix), and clustering techniques as part of social network analysis. Moreover, we apply definition of centrality in network in order to reveal the main frame formed in each of four periods. As a result, accessibility of personal information is extended from public sector to private sector. The boundary of personal information leakage is expanded to overseas. Therefore it is urgent to institutionalize the protection of personal information from a global perspective.

This qualitative study explores how Mongolian migrant workers, with a marked tendency for family migration, plan and put into practice their child's education and attach meaning to it in relation to the social network they form during their stay in Korea. Specifically, it analyzes in particular ways the social network Mongolian migrant workers form affect their settlement in Korea, the process by which the social network affects their planning of their child's education, and how the education planning and its realization lead to the formation of new social networks. The results show that parents were divided between those who made a deliberate decision in sending their child to the Seoul Mongol School as a part of their plan and those who chose the school due to forced circumstances. While some parents preferred the Seoul Mongol School over regular Korean schools for their child's education and future, others sent their child to the Seoul Mongol School, regardless of their preference, because they did not have access to information about regular Korean schools, were afraid of divulging their illegal status, or were afraid their child would not be able to adjust to the school life in Korean schools. Based on such analysis, this paper stresses the urgency of further research in this area, and suggests direction for future policy measures.

In a construction project in which cooperation among project members gets its importance, trust among construction site members should be foundation to enhance team spirit and achievement. This study analyzes the trust network among staff by using social network analysis (SNA) theory for organizations in apartment complex construction sites in Korea. The analysis illustrates higher level of trust for those positioning in the higher positions in hierarchy and having greater experiences. It might be attributable to own features of construction works where skills are acquired by site experience.

향후 통신시장의 핵으로 등장하게 될 IMT-2000 서비스는 막대한 초기 투자비의 발생과 투자의 집괴성으로 인하여 개별 기업적 차원뿐만 아니라 국가 경쟁력 제고 차원은 물론 이용자 편익 증진을 고려한 적절한 추진방향과 사업전략을 설정할 필요성이 절실하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 최근 중복투자의 방지는 물론 경쟁활성화를 위한 하나의 바람직한 대안으로 부각되고 있는 IMT-2000의 공동망 사용에 대한 타당성을 검토함에 있어 공동망 활용시 발생 가능한 산업구조적 측면에서의 이슈 및 이에 대한 해결방안을 고찰함으로써 IMT-2000 서비스 공동망 사용의 당위성을 제시하고자 하였다. IMT-2000 시장의 경우 주파수 자원의 한정성으로 인하여 닫힌 복과점적 시장형태를 취하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 망 투자유인 결여 및 사회후생의 감소와 같은 공동망 활용에 따라 발생 가능한 산업구조적 측면에서의 문제점을 극복하고, 망 운영사업자의 영속적이며 안정적인 사업운영이 가능하다면, IMT-2000 산업에서의 공동망 활용은 초기 투자비용의 절감 및 중복투자의 방지에 기여함은 물론 개별 사업자들의 투자비용 부담이 줄어들게 되어 결국 주파수 자원의 한정성을 극복하고 경쟁활성화에 기여하게 될 것으로 판단된다.

가짜뉴스가 사회연결망 상에서 빠르게 전파되면서 사회적 혼란을 야기하고 있어 가짜뉴스를 탐지하는 것이 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 최근 가짜뉴스 탐지 연구에서 사회연결망의 전파 정보를 활용한 방법이 기존 뉴스 컨텐츠 기반 가짜뉴스 탐지 방법보다 효과적임을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 CoAID 데이터셋을 기반으로 사회연결망상의 전파 데이터를 포함하는 COVID-19 Cascade 데이터셋을 소개한다. COVID-19 Cascade 를 활용하면 전파 기반 가짜뉴스 탐지 방법에도 적용이 가능하다. 이후 간단한 분석을 통해 진짜뉴스와 가짜뉴스의 차이를 확인한다.

정보화 사회로의 변천에 따른 앞으로의 전송망은 각종 데이터 서비스 수용을 위하여 효과적인 대용량 신호전송, 수요 변경에 따른 회선 리루팅, 전송로상의 소요채널 직접액세스 등에 대처할 수 있는 능럭을 갖추어야 한다. 현재 이용되고 있는 비동기 다중 및 전송장치들로는 이들의 특성상 효과적인 망운용이 어려우므로 효율적인 전송망 구축을 위한 새로운 개념의 동기 전송방식이 도입되고 있다. 본고에서는 통합된 전송신호의 전달 및 액세스의 실현을 위하여 미국과 일본에서 추진하고 있는 동기전송계층 신호 및 동기 광전송 시스팀에 대한 기술등향에 대해 분석하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cause-and-effect relationships among positive verbal expressions from family members, social network, and disability identity as the determinant factors of intention to work. To achieve the goal, 453 persons with disabilities and with experiences of using facilities for the disabled were studied, who were recruited for the national survey of domestic violence in 2010. For the research subjects, the cause-and-effect relationships among the major factors were examined by using a structural equation model. According to the results, disability identity and intent to work tended to be higher as they had experienced more of positive verbal expressions from their families. Moreover, a more participation in social activities increased disability identity, but not intent to work. Lastly, disability identity was found to be a determinant of intent to work. Based on the results, we provide suggestions to achieve social inclusion of people with disabilities by raising the intent to work.

Domestic risk factors that are thought to be correlated with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak are migratory birds and moving objects such as poultry farm vehicles. In particular, the commercial vehicles that routinely circulate the local and/or remote poultry farms produce are thought to be major HPAI risk factors in South Korea. In this study, the driving histories of the vehicles belonging to poultry farms and/or commercial companies registered in the Korea Animal Integrated System (KAHIS) were analyzed using statistical and social networking tools in a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to understand the pattern of the HPAI (H5N8) outbreak that occurred in 2014 in South Korea. Based on the 2014 HPAI outbreak patterns, HPAI-infected poultry farms were categorized according to geological features. The HPAI-infected poultry farms were categorized as 'regional-accumulation', 'regional-distribution', 'metropolitan-accumulation', 'metropolitan-distribution' and 'national-distribution' in endemic or non-endemic regions. We were able to categorize most HPAI-infected poultry farms into the five proposed categories, but further studies are required to categorize all such farms. Based on this categorization system, we propose efficient but economical prevention boundaries in South Korea. We strongly believe that our research could hugely impact government decisions to estimate the prevention area.
