선거운동에 있어서 자유와 공정은 선거과정의 민주적 품질을 가늠하는 핵심적 가치이다. 선거과정에서 자유와 공정이 충분히 보장될 때, 유권자와 후보자 간의 역동적이며 설득적인 커뮤니케이션이 가능하다. 이 점에서 한국 선거운동의 민주적 품질은 아직 낮은 상태에 머무르고 있다. 한국의 선거법은 대단히 규제 중심적이며, 이는 과거 부정선거 및 타락선거의 경험에서 비롯된다. 하지만 선거환경은 빠르게 변화하여 왔다. 유권자의 선거문화 및 의식수준이 크게 개선되었으며, 인터넷의 확산은 더욱 능동적이고 참여적인 유권자를 탄생시키고 있다. 선거환경의 변화는 규제 중심적 선거규칙의 변경을 요구하고 있다. 하지만 선거운동의 민주적 품질은 법제도적 개선만으로 향상되는 것은 아니다. 선거경쟁의 장에서 공명정대한 관리자로서 선관위의 위상정립과 더불어, 유권자들의 건전한 선거문화의 형성을 위한 끊임없는 노력이 함께 병행될 때 비로소 선거운동을 둘러싼 민주적 품질의 실질적 향상이 성취될 수 있을 것이다.

재난 시 피해자를 위해 사용되는 고압산소치료 시 흔한 부작용으로 높아진 압력에 적응하지 못하고 귀의 통증을 비롯한 압력 손상의 증상이 발현되는 경우가 종종 존재하여 이는 고압산소치료 시 해결해야 할 과제로 떠올랐다. 이에 본 본 연구에서는 고압산소치료기에 개발된 압력손상방지장치를 연결하여 적용하였을 때 고압산소치료 중 압력손상이 조기 감지되고 이를 통해 고압산소치료를 받는 피해자가 압력손상이 진행되지 않는지에 대하여 연구하였다. 압력손상방지장치를 활용하면 고압산소치료 중 압력손상이 조기 감지되고 이를 통해 고압산소치료를 받는 피해자가 압력손상이 심하게 진행되지 않는데 도움을 받을 수 있다. 단 이는 피해자 본인이 체내압력 조절이 가능한 상태여야 하며 의식이 없거나 협조가 어려운 대상에 대한 압력손상방지는 또 다른 도전으로 향후 이에 대한 추가적 연구가 필요하다.

Paul Churchland(1989) suggests the theory of representation from the results of cognitive biology and connectionist AI studies. According to the theory, our representations of the diverse phenomena in the world can be represented as the positions of phase state spaces with the actions of the neurons or of the assembly of neurons. He insists connectionist AI neural networks can have the semantical category systems to recognize the world. But Fodor and Lepore(1996) don't look the perspective bright. From their points of view, the Churchland's theory of representation stands on the base of Quine's holism, and the network semantics cannot explain how the criteria of semantical content similarity could be possible, and so cannot the theory. This thesis aims to excavate which one is the better between the perspective of the theory and the one of Fodor and Lepore's. From my understandings of state space theory of representation, artificial nets can coordinates the criteria of contents similarity by the learning algorithm. On the basis of these, I can see that Fodor and Lepore's points cannot penetrate the Churchlands' theory. From the view point of the theory, we can see how the future's artificial systems can have the conceptual systems recognizing the world. Therefore we can have the perspectives what cognitive scientists have to focus on.

The unconscious and non-intrusive measurements of activity signals or physiological signals represent important enabling technologies for realizing a ubiquitous healthcare environment as well as a related UI. Particularly, non-intrusive measurements should be used in activity monitoring system for long-term monitoring. This paper is based on activity estimation by measuring the activity signals of a user using a handhold device with an accelerometer. The user activity estimation system (UAES) presented in this paper makes non-intrusive measurements of activity signals to minimize inconveniencing a user and to create a more practical implementation in real life. Thus, a variety of positions in which the handhold device can be carried by a user for daily use is considered, such as in the front/hip/shirt pockets, a backpack, on the waist, and in the hand.

In this study, only 2,877 men, 2,614 men (44.6%), and 143 women (2.3%) were selected as the subjects who were over 18 years old in response to the health consciousness of the Korean medical panel data in 2012. Emergency of smokers through medical use and medical expenditure data by smoking. The social costs were estimated through medical expenses according to the number of hospitalization and outpatient medical use. The social cost was calculated by summing the social expenditure on health care costs, insurer (corporation) costs, copayment, non - salary, and productivity costs by adopting the social perspective established by the health economist Rice (1968). The rate of annual emergency medical use by smoking status is 7.5% for smokers per 100 people, 9.8 times for use, and 809,003 won for social expenses. The annual rate of hospitalization per 100,000 population by smoking status was 9.6% for smokers per 100 population, 9 times for use, The social cost is 706,870 won. Annual smoking rate by smoking status was 68.6% for smoking, 9 cases for annual medical use,

This study aims to find out the relationship between purchase intention of fashion products and affecting factors. Measurement was not on the general Web environment but on the individual websites. It was modeled that the likeness of shopping malls affects purchase intention. Flow, which Csikszentmihalyi(1990) introduced as the state of optimal experience, was to affect purchase intention through the likeness of shopping malls. In addition, characteristics of fashion products were to affect purchase intention. A structural equation modeling was used for estimation. The result shows that the likeness of shopping malls affect purchase intention more than characteristics of fashion products. The difference from other studies is that the sign of Skills on Flow is negative. The effect of Flow on purchase intention is the largest and the next is the characteristics of the shopping malls. These results imply that internet shopping malls have to increase the likeness of shopping malls in addition to interests of the products. In addition, fashion consciousness was tested as a moderator by dividing the subjects into two groups of high and low fashion consciousness. The result shows that fashion consciousness works as a moderator for the variables affecting purchase intention.

This study aims to overcome the limitations of prior studies that have failed to take into account the impact of psycho-social factors on the employment of people with disabilities as well as the differences in employment by life stage. This study employs a research model that includes psycho-social factors along with human capital to examine how the determinants of employment differ for the disabled by life stage. The analysis in this study takes the form of logistic regression, using data from the fifth wave of the Korea Welfare Panel Survey. Analysis results show that the employment probability of young people with disabilities is significantly associated with their experience of discrimination, with their chance of employment decreasing when they have more experience of discrimination. Middle-aged people with disabilities are more likely to be employed when they have a lower level of education, a better health condition and a higher level of labor ability. For the disabled elderly, their labor ability is the only factor affecting their possibility of employment; they have a higher chance of getting a job when they have a higher level of labor ability.

Visitors to Chuwangsan National Park were survayed from August 3 to 5 n 1994. During this time, 346 visitors were contacted. Of those individuals, 65% were males. 63% of respondents reported that they had gone as far as college. 48% were 20 years of age. 97% of the survey respondents had experience to visit other national parks. The largest percentage of respondents were reported that they visited Chuwangsan Nat'1 Park for enjoying natural landscape. In group type, 50% were traveling with their family and 36% with their friends. In activity characteristics, 51% were day-time visitors, and 18% mentioned carrying in their on food. Generally most respondents were very interested in the environmental problem in national parks. The majority of visitors perceived that the environment of Chuwangsan Nat'1 Park were good enough. In six types of normative violations, the major reasons of littering were unintentional violation and releaser-cue violation. Most respondents were not likely to intervene to stop other visitors' depreciative behavior (Bystander intervention behavior). In two dilemmas, the more likely the intention to obey a regulation the less likely the intention to disobey a regulation, and vice-versa.

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a chronic inflammatory reaction of the lungs resulting from the aspiration of vegetable, animal or mineral oils. Squalene, is a derivative of shark liver oil that is taken as a traditional remedy in some Asian countries, and is used widely also in cosmetics. Similar to the symptoms in most cases of oil aspiration, the symptoms of squalene-induced lipoid pneumonia are either absent or nonspecific. Hence, the disease is generally detected incidentally. Although many cases with predisposing factors have been reported, ELP with achalasia is quite rare. We report a 47-year old woman with achalasia who developed ELP after ingesting squalene. The patient was treated successfully by supportive care and surgical treatment of the achalasia.
