The aim of this paper is to put forward the significance that Dewey's naturalistic theory of value has today in examining how value arises from experience. This is a necessary discussion as logical-positivists bring about the problem of fact/value dichotomy and further deny the possibility of intellectual discussion on value judgments. In this situation, the task that the discussion on value must be resolved is to go beyond the problem of fact/value dichotomy and to confer objectivity upon value judgments. In the stream of analytic philosophy, the significance of Dewey's theory of value is revealed by how Putnam and Johnson receive it. To overcome the problem of dichotomy, Putnam asserts that they are entangled because the value arises from a criticism through scientific inquiry. Also Johnson proves that Dewey's moral deliberation as valuation is wedded with cognition, feeling, and imagination by the research on cognitive science and shows that Dewey's theory of value is un-relativistic because it is on the basis of shared experience. So, if the absolute value is not given to us, Dewey's theory of value shows us how value is made by open inquiry. It has the significance of proposing the direction that the theory of value orients itself today.

본 연구는 2009년 법 개정에 따른 기준소득의 변경이 가입자별 보험료 부담과 연금급여의 변경에 어떠한 영향을 주었는지를 구체적 사례를 중심으로 살펴봄으로써 제도 변경 전후의 가입자별의 연금소득 변화를 산정함과 아울러, 2015년 사학연금법 개정에 따른 사학연금 가입자간 소득재분배제도의 도입이 2009년 법 개정에 따른 연금소득효과에 어떠한 영향을 주었는지를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 사학연금가입자의 경우 법 개정 당시의 전제가 되었던 기준소득대비 보수월액의 비율인 65% 수준에 근접하는 사람은 일부에 불과한 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 60~70%기준에 포함되는 계층은 5.6%에 불과하고, 60% 이하인 자가 88.6%, 70% 이상인 자는 5.8%로 나타났다. 이는 사학연금 가입자 상당수가 기존의 보수월액이 실제 과세소득의 일정비율보다 낮은 위상에 있었음을 의미한다. 따라서 2009년 법 개정 결과, 처음의 기대와는 달리 개정 이전 연금액에 비하여 높아지는 가입자가 87.5%, 낮아지는 가입자가 12.5%인 것으로 나타났다. 그렇지만 연금액이 증가되었지만 보험료 부담이 함께 증가되었기 때문에 수익비 측면에서 더 유리해졌다고 할 수 없다. 더 부담하고 더 많이 받는 경우가 대다수였다. 물론, 오히려 기준소득이 보수월액보다 절대치조차 낮은 가입자도 있었다. 이 경우, 본인의 희망에 따라 법령에서 별도로 정한 최저소득기준을 선택할 수 있도록 함으로써 문제점이 완화되었다. 2009년 법 개정 상에 나타난 연금액 증가는 소득재분배 요소를 도입한 2015년 법 개정으로 상대적으로 저소득 가입자는 연금액이 증가하고 고소득자는 연금액이 감소됨으로써, 2009년 법 개정에서 나타난 고소득자에게 유리할 수 있는 부분이 완화되는 결과를 만들었다. 2015년 개정은 2009년 개정 상 발생한 문제를 다소 보완하는 결과가 되었다. 공무원의 보수월액을 적용하여왔던 제도를 기준소득월액으로 바꾼 것은 사학연금 가입자가 실제의 소득에 기초하여 보험료를 부담하고 연금을 지급받을 수 있도록 되었다는 점에서 제도의 정상화로 보는 것이 바람직하다. 소득기준의 전환으로 내재적으로 혼란이 발생할 가능성이 있었지만, 2015년의 법 개정으로 제도가 보다 완결적으로 발전가능하게 된 것으로 평가된다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and usefulness of the Trigger mode for the Respiratory Gated Radiation Therapy (RGRT) Materials and methods : A QUASAR respiratory phantom that inserted a 3 mm fiducial marker (a gold marker) was used to estimate the accuracy of the Trigger mode. And the 20 bpm was used as reference respiration rate in this study. The marker that placed at the center of the phantom was contoured, and the lower threshold of a gating window was fixed at 2.0 mm using an OBI with Truebeam STx^TM. The upper threshold was measured every 0.5 mm from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm. The respiration rates were changed every 10 bpm from 10 bpm to 60 bpm. We repeatedly measured five times to check the error rate of the trigger mode in the same condition. Result : The differences of a distance from a peak phase to upper threshold, 1.0 to 3.0 mm at a 20 bpm as a reference for 3 days in a row were 0.68±0.05 mm, 0.91±0.03 mm, 1.23±0.03 mm, 1.42±0.04 mm, and 1.66±0.06 mm, respectively. Measurement result of changes in respiratory rate compared to baseline respiratory rate in maximum absolute difference. The coefficient of determination (R2) to estimate the correlation between the respiration velocity and variation of absolute difference was on average 0.838, 0.887, 0.770, 0.850, and 0.906. The p-values of all the variables were below 0.05. Conclusion : Using Trigger mode during respiratory gated radiation therapy (RGRT), accuracy and usefulness of trigger mode at reference breathing rate were confirmed. However, inaccuracies depending on the rate of breathing it could be uncertain in case of respiration rate is faster than 20 bpm as a standard respiration rate compared to slower than 20 bpm. Consequently, when conducting a RGRT using the trigger mode, real time monitoring is required with well educated respiration.

기술혁신과 제도변혁의 와중에서 미국을 위시하여 우리나라, 일본, EU, 싱가포르등 세계 각국들은 경쟁적으로 2010년까지 초고속정보망을 구축할 것을 계획하고 있다. 더나아가서 미국 정부는 세계적인 초고속정보망 (Global Information Infrastructure: GII)을 구축하는 것을 계획하고 있다. GII 추진을 주도하고 있는 미국을 영상, 소프트웨어, 방송, 게임 등의 각종 멀티미디어 서비스의 절대적 경쟁력을 미국에서 뿐만 아니라 GII를 통해 세계시장으로 확대, 보호하겠다는 전략적 의미를 갖고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 미국의 GII 추진전략에 대응하여 일본은 AII 라는 아시아판 초고속통신망 구축과 개방화를 제안하였으며, 우리나라 정부는 APII라는 이름으로 아시아, 태평양지역 국가들을 대상으로 하는 초고속통신기반을 구축할 것을 제시하였다. 한국의 APII전략은 아시아, 태평양 지역 중심으로 한국의 국가적 위상을 제고하는 한편 우리나라 기업의 국제진출을 위한 전진기지로서의 활용측면에서 유효하다는 의미로서 제시하였다. 그러나, 우리나라가 제시한 APII의 청사진은 세계 정보통신시장을 중심으로 볼 때 경쟁력을 갖고 있는 정보통신부분이 반도체이외에는 전무하다는 측면에서 잘못하면 APII라는 전략은 미국이나 일본의 정보통신망 구축에 이용당할 가능성이 높은 무의미한 전략적 의미를 갖고 있는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미국이 구축하고자 하는 GII체제와 병행하여 우리나라 정보통신산업을 육성, 발전시키기 위한 대응전략이 어떤 방향으로 전개되어야 할 것인지를 제시하기 위하여 GII가 갖고 있는 전략적 의미를 산업조직측면에서 살펴보고자 하였다. GII구축으로 인하여 세계의 정보통신 대기업은 초대기업으로 성장할 수 있는 기회이지만 중소기업 역시 대기업으로 성장할 수 있는 기회이다. 따라서 우리나라 정부는 정보통신산업정책을 초고속망 구축위주인 대기업 중심체제에서 중소기업이 참여 가능한 통신기기산업이나 멀티미디어 산업으로의 유인전환을 촉진할 필요가 있다. 다음으로 GII 구축에 따라 정보통신기업의 전략적 제휴 내지 합병이 활발히 촉진되고 있는 상황을 감안하여 볼 때 국내의 통신산업 역시 전략적 제휴 내지 합병이 가능할 수 있도록 정부규제를 완화할 필요가 있다. 그리고 정보통신서비스업체 역시 나름대로 독과점 산업인 통신기기업체내지 소프트웨어 산업으로의 진출이 가능할 수 있도록 상호진출을 허용할 필요가 있다고 본다. 이를 위해서 우리 나라 정부 역시 미국처럼 새로운 통신개혁법을 만들 필요가 있다. 새로운 통신개혁법의 핵심적인 사항으로서 첫째, 통신과 CATV간의 상호진입을 허용, 둘째, 통신사업자가 통신관련 기기산업에 참여할 수 있는 규제완화를 허용, 셋째, 유아단계에 있는 소프트웨어 및 컨테트산업을 육성하는데 산업육성책 수립 등을 적극적으로 추진하여야 할 것이다. 그리고 현재 국내 재벌기업들로 구성되어 있는 기반산업을 지원하는 기술개발 지원체제와 육성정책을 소프트웨어 및 컨텐트의 응용산업으로 개편할 필요성도 제시되며, 이를 위해 범부처 차원에서 소프트웨어 및 컨텐트 육성정책을 지원하는 종합적인 대책을 마련해야 한다고 본다.

This study evaluates the prediction skills of stratospheric polar vortex intensification events (VIEs) in Global Seasonal Forecasting System (GloSea5) model, an operational subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction model of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). The results show that the prediction limits of VIEs, diagnosed with anomaly correlation coefficient (ACC) and mean squared skill score (MSSS), are 13.6 days and 18.5 days, respectively. These prediction limits are mainly determined by the eddy error, especially the large-scale eddy phase error from the eddies with the zonal wavenumber 1. This might imply that better prediction skills for VIEs can be obtained by improving the model performance in simulating the phase of planetary scale eddy. The stratospheric prediction skills, on the other hand, tend to not affect the tropospheric prediction skills in the analyzed cases. This result may indicate that stratosphere-troposphere dynamic coupling associated with VIEs might not be well predicted by GloSea5 model. However, it is possible that the coupling process, even if well predicted by the model, cannot be recognized by monotonic analyses, because intrinsic modes in the troposphere often have larger variability compared to the stratospheric impact.

This paper attempts to explore recent socio-demographic changes of the ethnic Korean population in Yanbian autonomous prefecture. Due to rapid decrease in the level of fertility and population ageing, Korean minority society in China has been in a process of profound transition after the introduction of the market economy and establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China. The changes in demographic behaviors and in the structure of population appear to be much faster among Koreans than Hans. Results from the 2000 population census reveal that the Korean population in Yanbian, where ethnic Koreans are most densely populated in China, has been in a decreasing trends in absolute numbers and in its proportion to the total population. The growing tendency of regional mobility for work and for marriage, rapid expansion of residential areas, serious crisis of ethnic schools of Korean community, and weakening social integration and ethnic identification of Koreans in Yanbian are discussed in this study. It is expected that socio-demographic transition of Korean society in Yanbian will be even more drastic over the coming decades. The rapid changes in demographic behaviors and in the structure of population has major consequences and implications for every sphere of human life, and will present enormous challenges for the status of Korean minority society in China. Along with various statistical data on Yanbian, micro-level data as well as published reports from the 1990 Chinese population census for Yanbian and the 2000 Chinese population census are analyzed in this study. In addition to sex ratios and age ratios, various indices are calculated to analyze the characteristics and accuracy of the data from the 1990 and 2000 population censuses of China.

This paper proposes a new nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method for multiple sound sources using a dual microphone array. First of all, sound signals coming from the dual microphone array are segmented into consecutive analysis frames, and a steered-response power phase transform (SRP-PHAT) beamformer is applied to each frame so that stereo signals of each frame are represented in a time-direction domain. The time-direction outputs of SRP-PHAT are stored for a pre-defined number of frames, which is referred to as a time-direction block. Next, In order to estimate DOAs robust to noise, each time-direction block is normalized along the time by using a block subtraction technique. After that, an unsupervised NMF method is applied to the normalized time-direction block in order to cluster the directions of each sound source in a multiple sound source environments. In particular, the activation and basis matrices are used to estimate the number of sound sources and their DOAs, respectively. The DOA estimation performance of the proposed method is evaluated by measuring a mean absolute error (MAE) and the standard deviation of errors between the oracle and estimated DOAs under a three source condition, where the sources are located in [$-35{\circ}$, 5m], [$12{\circ}$, 4m], and [$38{\circ}$, 4.m] from the dual microphone array. It is shown from the experiment that the proposed method could relatively reduce MAE by 56.83%, compared to a conventional SRP-PHAT based DOA estimation method.

Seasonal variations and long term linear trends of SST (Sea Surface Temperature) at Yeosu Coast ($127^{\circ}37.73^{\prime}E$, $34^{\circ}37.60^{\prime}N$) in Korea were studied performing the harmonic analysis and the regression analysis of the monthly mean SST data of 46 years (1965-2010) collected by the Fisheries Research and Development Institute in Korea. The mean SST and the amplitude of annual SST variation show $15.6^{\circ}C$ and $9.0^{\circ}C$ respectively. The phase of annual SST variation is $236^{\circ}$. The maximum SST at Yeosu Coast occurs around August 26. Climatic changes in annual mean SST have had significant increasing tendency with increase rate $0.0305^{\circ}C/Year$. The warming trend in recent 30 years (1981-2010) is more pronounced than that in the last 30 years (1966-1995) and the increasing tendency of winter SST dominates that of the annual SST. The time series model that could be used to forecast the SST on a monthly basis was developed applying Box-Jenkins methodology. $ARIMA(1,0,0)(2,1,0)_{12}$ was suggested for forecasting the monthly mean SST at Yeosu Coast in Korea. Mean absolute percentage error to measure the accuracy of forecasted values was 8.3%.

The purpose of this study is to provide the future development of the PRC Marine Corps by analyzing the changing functions via its historical development. The PRCMC is an elite regular military forces and was established by the Central Military Commission(China) in 1953 in order to project the national military power toward the enemy's territory by overcoming maritime obstacles such as seas and lakes. The PRCMC is relatively smaller personnel strength compared with the whole size of the PRC military forces. Thus its functions were limited in the areas of amphibious and land operations, island and land defense against Taiwan before the PRC pursues expanding policy toward outside. However, in the 2000s, China pursues its policy for obtaining absolute national interest so that its functions are rapidly enlarged into defense of the forward naval bases, and those for evolving its power toward outside according to not only the island territorial dispute with Japan, but also Xi Jinping's active expanding policy what we call 'the one belt and one road'. So its personnel strength is slowly increased. If the increasement of the PRC Navy and Marine Corps would develop into the level of which they can contain the status and influence of the US military power in Asia-Pacific area, it is possible that the security environment of the North-east Asia including the Korean peninsula will be fluctuated. Consequently, the ROK also needs to reevaluate the functions and the size of the joint strength of the ROK Navy and Marine Corps considering the transition of the changing security environment.

This paper aims to analyse Han Wonjin's criticism centered on Kim Changhyup's theory of Jigak(知覺). In the early 18th century, Kim Changhyup whose position considered as the leader of Rakhak(洛學) circle was the central figure in the debate on the controversial subject of Jigak. Han Wonjin as an opinion leader of Hohak(湖學)'s legacy was required to argue with his counterpart in order to establish his circle's standpoint. The main issue they discussed was the relationship between Ji(智) and Jigak. Kim contends that Ji and Jigak belong to different categories, and that the substance-function(體用) relation cannot be applied to them. According to him, the relation between Ji and Jigak is that of Do(道) and Gi(器). Similarly, the relation between Sim(心) and Sung(性) is that of subject and object. He also maintains that Jigak is not the phenomenalized mode of Ji, but the innate capability that employs Sung as the source of morality and turns it into feelings. In contrast, Han argues that Ji, as a ontological foundation of Jigak, is what enables Jigak to be a moral activity. In criticizing Kim Changhyup, Han maintains that if one denies the relation between Ji and Jigak, then one would have to characterize Jigak as a blind function with no moral sense. If one admits Jigak can have moral contents on its own without the connection with Ji, then one would have to allow two moral foundation, which leads one's idea into heretical beliefs. Han holds that Jigak can a moral function only when it is grounded upon Ji. In conclusion, Han emphasizes Ji as the base of Jigak that enables Jigak to realize morality while Kim emphasizes the role of Jigak as the principal agent of moral activity.
