The purpose of this study is to obtain the symbolic meaning of the priestly costume through the Bible. Based on corroborative the Bible, this thesis analyzes the costume of priest. This compares the two onyx stones on the shoulder pieces with four rows of precious stones on the breastpiece. This era falls on about from the 15th century before Christ. It was found that the breastpiece was a piece of the same multicolored linen as in the ephod, a span square when folded double. It symbolizes righteousness. It hung on the high priest's chest, supported by two golden chains attached to the shoulder clasps. It symbolizes love. On the breastpiece were twelve beautiful jewels, arranged in four rows of three jewels, each jewel symbolizing one of the tribes of Israel. The variety of jewels on the breastpiece suggests the variety of people. Urim is the Hebrew word for 'lights' and therefore would logically be associated with bright or white stones. Thummim is the Hebrew word for 'perfection'. The high priest's ephod was made of gold, and of blue, purple, and scarlet yam, and of finely twisted linen. The golden yam symbolizes faith. The robe of the ephod was made entirely of blue cloth. The blue color symbolizes an obligation and life. The robe of the ephod symbolizes calling and dignity. The woven tunic symbolizes holy duty.

The major purpose of this study is to obtain the evident and visual structure of costume of priest with symbol through the Old Testament. Based on corroborative the Old Testament, this thesis analyzes the costume of priest. This compares Aaron with his sons. This compares the two onyx stones on the shoulder pieces with four rows of precious stones on the breastpiece. This compares the robe with the woven tunic. This era falls on about from the 15th century before Christ. The crafts men whom God have endowed with skill make the vestments. Due to the christian religion, the body was entirely concealed.

This study was about developing a diagnostic assessment tool for the health of Baptist Church. To enable this, the definition of healthy Baptist churches and health factors was examined, diagnostic questions by church health factors was developed. Literature review and research of Delphi were used for research methods. Based on the quarter sampling method, the main survey was conducted on 395 people about factor analysis and needs analysis. Through this study, a healthy Baptist church is defined as a community of believers who glorify God by performing the functions of the church well, having the attributes of the church and the identity of the Baptist church as a body member of Christ. Factors of the healthy Baptist churches are community, loyalty of function, identity of Baptist church, and the essential qualities of the church. It was confirmed that there are 17 factors such as community of faith, worship, priesthood of all believers, and apostolicity. For measuring healthy Baptist Church, it consists of 199 diagnostic assessment questionnaires which can be reduced to 53 or 23 condensed diagnostic assessment questionnaires.

대마는 인류가 이용해 온 가장 오래된 약제 중 하나로 그 원산지는 중앙아시아와 남아시아이다. 식물분류학적으로 대마속 일년생 식물로서 Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, Cannabis ruderalis 3종이 있으며, 우리나라에서 재배되고 있는 종은 Cannabis sativa이다. 대마 재배의 역사는 인류의 시작과 그 궤를 같이하며, 동 서양을 막론하고 고대 문명에서 대마에 대한 기록을 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있다. 기록에 의하면 병의 치료나 심리적 치유 및 신에게 제사를 올릴 때 제사장이 사용한 것으로 알려져 있다. 대마의 약효에 대하여는 B.C. 2737년 중국의 신농황제시대의 기록에 관절염과 통증등 의료목적으로 사용했던 최초의 기록이 있으며 본초강목과 동의보감에 저술되어 있다. 우리나라의 대마에 관한 문헌 기록은 삼국지 '위지동이전', 삼국사기 '동성왕편'과 삼국유사에 삼베를 사용한 기록이 있는 것으로 미루어 봤을 때 대마재배의 역사는 삼국시대 이전으로 볼 수 있다. 우리 민족은 생활 속에서 대마를 즐겨 사용하였으며 삼베로 의복과 멍석, 행주 그리고 칠공예품이나 신발등을 만들어 사용하였으며, 죽음에 이르러 삼베옷을 수의로 사용하였다. 대마의 용도는 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 꽃대 그리고 씨앗까지 다양하게 이용된다. 전통적으로 줄기의 껍질을 이용한 섬유제품이 있으며 실, 의복 및 밧줄등이 있다. 대마 줄기의 속대는 종이, 건축자재, 연료로 사용된다. 씨앗의 경우 식품과 조류의 먹이, 생약으로 이용되고 씨앗의 기름은 연료, 화장품, 맛사지 오일등으로 사용되고 있다. 환각성분이 있어 마리화나 원료로 사용되는 꽃대와 잎은 의약품의 원료로 주목받고 있다. 대마에 관한 최초의 논문은 1843년에 Cannabis indica의 약효에 관한 것으로 보고되었다. 1850년부터 1937년까지 미국의 약전은 대마를 100가지 이상의 질병에 효과가 있는 주요 의약품으로 기재하고 있다. 세계적으로 여러 가지 이유로 대마를 의료 응용과 연구 및 사용을 제한하여 대마에 관한 연구가 침체되었다. 대마의 의학연구는 대마의 약효성분인 칸나비노이드의 발견과 그 구조 및 약효에 관한 연구가 시작되면서 1960년대부터 증가하였으며 2000년 이후에는 칸나비노이드 및 칸나비디올의 다양한 의학적 효과가 밝혀지면서 급격히 증가하고 있다. 대마에 포함된 성분의 의학적 효과가 입증되면서 대마 사용을 합법화한 국가가 증가하면서 대마 산업이 급부상하고 있으며, 의료용뿐만 아니라 기호용, 식품용, 그리고 주류 및 음료시장까지 확대되고 있다. 우리나라도 2019년 3월 질병 치료 목적 대마성분 의약품을 제한적으로 허용하는 마약류 관리에 관한 법률 일부 개정안이 시행되면서 의료용 대마에 관한 연구와 산업화에 관심이 증가하는 추세이다.

In March 2015, The Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan implemented a project called "Japan Heritage," which aims to promote the unique narratives of cultural properties of the region by branding the locality for revitalization in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. This bottom-up approach of cultural policy has been called a "Cool Japan Strategy of Cultural Heritage" in the 21st century, which effectively incorporates local cultural heritage and tourism. However, although a total of 67 Japan Heritage projects have been designated as of December 2018, almost none has been introduced in the academic forum in Korea. On the basis of this background and a lack of academic awareness in Korea on Japan's recent cultural policies, this research aims to focus on the three cases of Gunma Prefecture implemented in local, global, and glocal aspects. To specify, the cases are the "Gunma Silk Heritage" project, implemented in 2011, the "Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites" project that was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014, and "The Best Wife in the World - Silk Story of Gunma," case certified as the first project of "Japan Heritage" launched in 2015. Based on the questionnaire method conducted with the World Heritage Registration Promotion Division in Gunma Prefectural Government, as well as a literature view, the research revealed that the consecutive implementation of a series of cultural heritage projects in Gunma is not coincidental, but rather a strategy aiming to create a synergism where each project complements the others. Moreover, this paper demonstrates that Gunma Prefecture has been utilizing the local silk industry as a tangible and intangible cultural resource in multi-layered heritage projects, resulting in a "spiral synergy effect" and a "chain of the recognition process." In conclusion, it illustrates the recent trend of utilizing cultural heritage in the context of the Cool Japan strategy, which seeks to move away from the administration of maintaining the status quo cultural heritage protection to a proactive one with greater potential growth. This research may thus provide meaningful insight into the utilization of domestic historical and cultural resources as well as related policy-making, in that it will ultimately promote the chain effect of linking the multiple heritage policies and projects at the local, global, and glocal levels.

The purposes of this study are to identify the meaning of the geometrical patterns preferred by ancient Korean peoples and to classify them into some groups by their similarity. We investigated various patterns found on clothing and relics from GoJoseon to Goguryeo period, and utilized secondary sources such as history articles, Internet materials and photo and analyzed the associations of the varied patterns found in pottery, handicrafts, and clothing with the ancient cultures. We found the letters (ㅇ, ㅁ, and ㅅ of Korean alphabet, Hangul) preferred by ancestors who worshipped nature to identify the significations attached by them to particular patterns. The results confirm the following: first, the circle pattern indicated the sun, moon, stars in the sky, a bronze mirror, and a man's face. Circles and ovals were also observed to represent the individual souls of the clan or community. Second, square patterns symbolized the land and the patterns that signified the wellbeing of family and the country. Oblique rectangles were more frequently used as they represented a double use of the triangle, a shape that implied mystic power. Third, triangle symbolized regeneration, power, and humanity. While the Neolithic Age jade remnants of hair combs appear not to be irrelevant to the process of comb-shaped pottery production of the time, many fine comb-like lines may be found on bronze mirrors. Through its review of the glorious designs inherited from and established by ancient ancestors, the present research endeavor may help in identifying the spirits and traditions of Korean history.
