Based on spontaneous speech data collected in 2020, this study examined the production and perception of Korean lenis, aspirated, and fortis stops. Unlike the controlled experiments of previous studies, lenis and aspirated stops of males in their 30s were not distinguished by voice onset time (VOT) in spontaneous speech. Perceptual experiments were conducted on young females, the leaders of language change. F0 was found to serve as the primary cue for the perception of lenis stops, and then VOT distinguished the aspirated and fortis stops. The fact that the sounds were always perceived as lenis stops when F0 was low, irrespective of whether VOT was short or long, showed that F0 plays an absolute role in the perception of lenis stops. However, in some cases the aspirated and lenis stops were distinguished only by VOT, which does not happen in production. In terms of sound change, disagreement between production and perception systems occurs when sound change is in progress. In particular, when production change precedes perception change, it indicates that the sound change is in its latter stages. Young females still maintain the previous system in perception because the distinction of lenis and aspirated stops by VOT was valid in their parents' generation. In other words, VOT is still used for perception to communicate with other groups.

The reason that an intelligent agent cannot understand the representation of its own perception or activity is caused by the traditional syntactic approach that translates a semantic feature into a simulated string, To implement an autonomously learning intelligent agent, Cohen introduces a experimentally semantic approach that the system learns a contentful representation of physical schema from physically interacting with environment using its own sensors and effectors. We propose that negation is a meta-level schema that enables an agent to recognize its own physical schema, To improve the planner's efficiency, Graphplan introduces the control rule that manipulates the inconsistency between planning operators, but it cannot cognitively understand negation and suffers from redundancy problem. By introducing a negative function not, IPP solves the problem, but its approach is still syntactic and is inefficient in terms of time and space. In this paper, we propose that, to represent a negative fact, a positive atom, which is called opposite concept, is a very efficient technique for implementing an cognitive agent, and demonstrate some empirical results supporting the hypothesis.

As multimedia information recently increases fast, various types of retrieval of multimedia data are becoming issues of great importance. For the efficient multimedia data processing, semantics based retrieval techniques are required that can extract the meaning contents of multimedia data. Existing retrieval methods of multimedia data are annotation-based retrieval, feature-based retrieval and annotation and feature integration based retrieval. These systems take annotator a lot of efforts and time and we should perform complicated calculation for feature extraction. In addition. created data have shortcomings that we should go through static search that do not change. Also, user-friendly and semantic searching techniques are not supported. This paper proposes to develop S-MARS(Semantic Metadata-based Multimedia Annotation and Retrieval System) which can represent and extract multimedia data efficiently using MPEG-7. The system provides a graphical user interface for annotating, searching, and browsing multimedia data. It is implemented on the basis of the semantic metadata model to represent multimedia information. The semantic metadata about multimedia data is organized on the basis of multimedia description schema using XML schema that basically comply with the MPEG-7 standard. In conclusion. the proposed scheme can be easily implemented on any multimedia platforms supporting XML technology. It can be utilized to enable efficient semantic metadata sharing between systems, and it will contribute to improving the retrieval correctness and the user's satisfaction on embedding based multimedia retrieval algorithm method.

본 연구는 기업이 기술제품을 도입한 후에 내부에 확산시키려고 하는 실행단계에서 직면하는 혁신저항에 영향을 미치는 요인과 혁신저항을 줄이고 확산을 증진시키는 확산촉진활동을 설명하여 2B 마케팅 상황에서 기술제품의 조직내 혁신저항-확산모델을 도출하였다. 기업에서 기술제품을 조직내에 확산시킬 때는 구성원들의 혁신저항을 접하게 된다. 소비자 행동에서는 혁신저항에 영향을 주는 변수로 개인변수와 제품변수를 제시하고 있지만 2B 마케팅에서는 조직구조변수와 구매센터변수가 추가적으로 영향을 주게 된다. 중앙집권화, 공식화정도가 높은 기업에서는 구성원들이 혁신저항을 가지면서도 사용할 수 있다. 이러한 경우에는 판매기업과 구매기업의 관계가 단기적인 관계로만 그칠 수 있다. 또한 구매센터 참여정도가 적고 구매센터가 집중화되어 있으면 혁신저항이 커지고 단기적인 관계만 형성될 가능성이 커진다. 그리고 제품의 지각된 위험, 적합성에 따라 혁신저항의 정도가 달라질 것이다. 그리고 사용자 개인의 지각된 자기능력, 현 제품의 만족도 등이 의미있는 조절 변수 역할을 할 것이다. 그러므로 장기적인 관계로 이어지기 위해서는 혁신저항을 줄이는 교육훈련, 제품개선, 부서간 조정, 개인적 동기 부여와 같은 확산촉진활동이 있어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 판매기업과 경영자들은 기술제품에 대한 혁신저항을 극복하고 제품을 확산시킬 수 있는 학문적, 관리적 시사점을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Recently realistic descriptions have been frequently used in anti-smoking campaigns. The same trend can also be seen with regard to posters as a medium of visual communication. It was intended to examine how different types of visual images in anti-smoking campaign posters produced and distributed by the WHO can improve the effectiveness of health communication. This article aims to determine how each of abstract/stylized illustrations and realistic images might affect the three key variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior, which are Attitudes toward the Behavior, Subjective Norms and Perceived Behavioral Control, in relation to quitting smoking. Results showed that realistic images are different in improving the attitudes toward the behavior and subjective norms. However, there are no significant difference between abstract/stylized illustrations and realistic images in Perceived Behavioral Control. The findings of this study suggest that the above-mentioned types of visual information achieve different levels of effectiveness in health communication. It is desirable that more effort be devoted to the interdisciplinary study across the areas of visual design and social psychology, for example, with a view to developing better health communication strategies.

Geodetic and geophysical quantities related to gravity data are analyzed using three-dimensional sin x/x method for the southern part of the Korean peninsula and adjacent Japan Sea. The thickness of isostatic crust is found as 26 km. The average isostatic gravity anomaly in this area is appeared to be +24.8 mgal, of which result indicates that the surface features are under-compensation or the thickness of the crust is thinner than normal. It is noteworthy that the general trend of the deflections of the vertical in direction is nearly perpendicular to the geological structure having a direction of NNE-SSW in the southern part of Korea.

In the digital media era, coded and non-coded communication are used to convey the message. As the computer interface has been adopted human communication methods, non-coded communication has bee used in the computer interface as well. The changes of message structure in the computer interface have an effect on shifting the way of user's message acceptance from passive to active. The recently developed computer user interfaces are for user to experience diverse visual effect The communication conveyed with this visual effects could be vague but user can conceive strong impact. This experience is understood not only through the visual experience from a monitor screen but also with a sense of tactile. The meaning of sensual and spectacle motion image could be ambiguous. However in the experience of using an interface, it plentifully expands the human sense by giving a visual experience on a whim. The sensually extemporaneous and splendid visual effect that has vague meaning has been very common happening in digital media environment.

Psychological distance refers to the perceived gap between a stimulus and a person's direct experience and its activation influences the decisions and actions that the person makes towards the stimulus. We investigated whether the level of familiarity affects the construction of psychological distance. Specifically, we hypothesized that a familiar stimulus, relative to an unfamiliar stimulus, is perceived to be psychologically closer to the observer and so its perception might be modulated by the perceived spatial distance. The familiarity of stimuli was manipulated in terms of preexposure frequency and preexposure perceptual fluency. In experiments, participants were first exposed with three nonsense words in a lexical decision task. The nonsense words were presented in nonword trials with different levels of frequency (frequent vs. rare, Experiment 1) or with different levels of visibility (less blurred vs. more blurred, Experiment 2). Participants then performed a distance Stroop task with the most familiar and the least familiar nonwords. Each of them appeared in either proximal or distant spatial locations in scenes with clear depth cues. The results showed a significant interaction between the word familiarity and the spatial distance: the familiar word was judged faster in proximal locations but slower in distant locations relative to the unfamiliar word. The current findings suggest that metacognitive evaluation of familiarity could be one of the critical factors that underlie the construction of psychological distance.

The possibility of successful commercialization of technologically innovative products depends on the degree to which consumers select and utilize the product. Therefore, the research that endeavors to find the usage behavior and the acceptance intention of users of technologically innovative products is a very important quest. This study empirically analyzes the factors that influence commercialization of a technologically innovative product: cloud computing. Existing studies examined acceptance intentions by expanding the TAM model and excluded attitude and usage behavior. This study determined attitude, usage behavior and personal characteristics of consumers to be important influencing factors. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows: First, the self-efficacy of personal characteristics had a significant effect on ease of use and acceptance intention and perceived costs had a significant influence on the factors of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Second, research on the systematic characteristics of cloud computing confirmed that security was an important factor affecting acceptance intention while innovativeness was critical to ease of use. Third, of the usage characteristics among users of technologically innovative products, perceived usefulness had an effect on the acceptance and usage behavior of cloud computing, and perceived ease of use had an important influence on perceived usefulness. Currently, when cloud computing services have not yet become widespread to the public, this study proposed meaningful results for policy direction and commercialization strategies by revealing variables that influence acceptance and usage behavior.
