This research is designed to evaluate perception of "the role of broadcasting in the process of unification" among South Korean propaganda broadcasting experts. This research used Q-methodology for in-depth evaluation of the experts' perception towards propaganda broadcasts. Total sixteen experts who work at the propaganda broadcasting company domestically or internationally as well as conduct related researches were selected as P-samples. This research listed sixty Q statements covering issues such as Perception of Unification, General Propaganda Broadcasts, Private Propaganda Broadcasts, Communication between North and South Korea. According to traditional way of Q-analysis, it drew two types of perception; Type 1: North Korean Liberal Broadcasts, Type2: Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation Broadcasts. For in-depth analysis, positive and negative statements were analyzed based on its tendency. As a result, positive statements tend to follow 'the Role of Unification Broadcasts' and negative statements followed 'the regulation of Private Broadcasts' When further researches were conducted on positive statements based on its axis of tendencies, Type 1 and Type 2 were categorized as follows; the Role of Unification Broadcasts- North Korean Liberal Broadcasts and Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation Broadcasts. On the other hand, when negative statements were analyzed based on its tendencies, the result of Type 1 and Type 2 were as follows; the Improvement of Private Broadcasts- Redeeming the Private Propaganda Broadcasts and Criticizing Private Propaganda Broadcasts. Regardless such differences, experts do agree on the idea which emphasize the role of broadcasts in the process of unification and also they share the same thought on the need to improve the private propaganda broadcasts. This research expected to contribute to society by making differences in analyzing propaganda broadcasting experts' perception in an objective and positive way compare to other existing researches. Therefore, it proposes several suggestions to consider when producing propaganda broadcasts.

This paper analyses the stories of 38 women of the in-depth survey, enforced by the Institute for Gender Research, Seoul National University. This survey focused on motherhood, but many memories were told by most of women. That shows strong existence of fatherhood in the process of personality formation in Korean society. The stories of 38 women could be divided into 5 types: (1) 5 cases where there is no mention about father; (2) 5 cases where simple and negative mentions are made about fathers; (3) 6 cases where no instrumental fatherhood but expressive fatherhood is found; (4) 11 cases of women who experienced both instrumental and expressive fatherhood, and (5) 12 cases (1 case is overlapped with one of the 3rd type) where the relationship between daughter and father is very close. The analyses denies the dichotomy of instrumental and expressive fatherhood, and the theories of "New Men" with expressive fatherhood who appeared as a result of social change and feminist movement. It also shows the various aspects of expressive fatherhood, and that close relationship between father and daughter plays an important role for the empowerment of daughter.

This study intends to analyze the meaning of symbolism in ancestral memorial rite arrangemen from the view that ancestral worship connecting traditional society with modernity are the transmission of ritual. It appears as a change the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements that became the basis and ideology about the Confucian view of life and death, an understanding of the universe structure, and a change in the four seasons. Ancestral memorial rite arrangements acknowledge the existence of ancestors. And it is understood as a ceremonial instrument which the living and the dead communicate spatially with time through the symbolic system. In addition, the four seasons, spaces of the skyground and underground were symbolized and embodied through the selection and arrangement of ancestral memorial rites. In the modern ancestral memorial rite arrangement, the factors that determine the location require Time-space analysis of the target. This is because the offering is understood not only as a functional role but also as a temporal and spatial symbolism to be expressed through the offering. In this study, it is meaningful to consider it from the perspective of inheritance of ancestral worship culture through discussions about the ideological background and symbolic system that appeared in ancestral memorial rite arrangement

Focusing on the factors related to the amount of contact between young married women and their noncoresident parents and their noncoresident parents-in-law, the study hypothesized two scenarios. (1) filial piety scenario which predicts that the contact with one set of parents is not affected by accessibility of other set of parents, and (2) competition scenario which predicts that ease of contact with one set of parents inhibits contact with other set of parents. These scenarios were tested against the data from National Fertility and Family Health Survey in 1994. The regression analysis of intergenerational visits appeared to support the competition scenario : The parents-in-law and the parents seem to bs in competition for visits by young married women - distance from the parents from one side has a parallel relationship to more frequent visits with the other set of parents. This is a much more equal footing for both sides of the family than attention to filial piety would predict. although the level of support from the young generation may keep declining.

Estrogens are known as the steroid hormones and essential regulators of developments, differentiations, and fertility in animals including humans. Recently, classic focus on estrogens which are considered as female hormone is changing in the whole field of reproductive endocrinology. Especially, interest in estrogen functions in male reproduction is increasing more and more, as numerous studies about the endocrine disruptors, interrupting the endocrine system, are being carried out. To understand exactly the function of estrogen in a male reproductive system, a summary for estrogen receptors upon developmental distributions in testis will be useful. In addition to the regulatory roles of estrogen in male, unexpected exposure to exogenous estrogens causes defects of differentiation of male reproductive system and an injury of spermatogenesis. Also, this review highlights the indicator of exogenous estrogens to perturb male fertility. These approaches would give tile practical information about estrogen roles in male development and reproduction.

Max-plus algebra is a nonlinear system comprised of two operations, maximization (max) and addition (Plus), which are corresponding to the addition and the multiplication in conventional algebra, respectively. This methodology is applicable to many discrete event systems containing the state transition with the maximization and addition operation. Timetable with connection is one of such systems. We present the method based on max-plus algebra, which can make up timetable considering transfer and analyse its stability and robustness. In this study, it will be shown how to make up the timetable of the urban train and analyse its stability using Max-Plus algebra.

LNG선의 신뢰성이 향상되고 안전운항이 오래 지속되고 있다. 이것은 모든 관련자들의 노력 덕택 이며 매우 고무적인 일이다. 현재보다도 미래에 LNG선의 역할은 보다 더 중요하게 될 것이다. LNG선의 신뢰성 유지는 한층 더 요구되어 질 것이다. LNG선과 같은 고기술선에서는, 실증성에 의거한 증명된 신뢰성이 필수적인 것이다. 이 점에서 미실증 분야로 있는 LNG선 수명 연장에는, 극히 신중한 대처가 필수 불가결하다. 기술면의 증명이 부족한 대로 수명 연장을 통해 사고를 일으킨다면, 열심히 쌓아올린 LNG선의 안전에 대한 전통이 붕괴될 염려가 있다. 여러 가지 요 인으로 볼 때 수명연장 요인은 존재하나, 대형사고 유발에 대한 Risk가 워낙 큼으로써 신중을 기해야 할 것이라고 생각한다.
