  • 본 연구는 병리학 이미지 분석에서 자주 발생하는 문제 중 하나인 레이블링 불일치 문제를 해결하고자 준지도학습(semi-supervised learning) 기법을 적용하였다. 기존의 병리 진단 과정은 정확한 판정 및 치료를 위해 전문가의 판단을 필요로 한다. 이로 인해, 시간이 매우 많이 소모되며 전문가의 피로도가 증가한다. 최근 이를 해결하고자 지도학습(supervised learning) 기법을 사용하여 업무의 피로도를 감소시키고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 병리 이미지 데이터에 대한 접근이 어렵고, 병변의 위치를 레이블링 하는 부분에서 많은 비용이 발생한다. 또한 암 병변의 스펙트럼적 특성으로 인해 레이블링 과정 속에서 레이블링 불일치 문제가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해, 우리는 제한된 레이블 된 데이터와 많은 양의 레이블 되지 않은 데이터를 활용하는 준지도학습 방법론을 제안한다. 이 제안하는 방법은 필요한 수동 레이블링 작업량을 줄여, 병리학자들에게 보다 효과적인 진단 도구를 제공할 것으로 예상된다.

  • 성장발육하는 시기에 영양과 성장하는 아동들의 체위와는 밀접한 관계가 있고 또한 영양부족과 그로 말미암아 자라나는 이학적 소견과도 불가분의 관계가 있기 때문에 그동안 우리나라에서 부분적, 단편적으로 연구 발표된 문헌을 중심으로 그를 검토 고찰하여 보았다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 우리나라 아동들이 출생후 6개월까지는 주로 모유에 의존하고, 약간이 인공영양에 의존하고 있는데, 이 시기에는 다른 선진제국의 어린이들의 성장발육과의 별 차이가 없었다. 그러나 이유기인 $6{\sim}30$개월 사이에는 우리나라 어머니들의 이유에 대한 지식이 빈약하고 이들 음식물을 그대로 아기들에게 적용하기 힘든 이유등으로 아이들에게 보급해서 주는 음식물이 빈약함으로 말미암아 다른 선진제국 아이들에 비해서 이 시기에 체위가 많이 떨어지고 빈혈현상을 나타내는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이때 고양군에서 농민의 아동들에 대해서 시행한 영양조사 내용을 보면, 전체 칼로리도 부족되고 특히 단백질, 철분, 칼슘, 비타민 A, B복합제가 전반적으로 부족되는 것을 알았다. 이는 어머니들의 육아와 이유식에 대한 지식의 결집도 중요한 역할을 했겠거니와 더욱더 중요한것은 우리나라 어른들의 식습관이, 민족적 전통적으로 짜고, 매웁고, 딱딱해서 이를 아기들에게 그대로 적응해서 먹이기가 힘든 것도 더 중요한 이유가 된다. 어른들을 위한 음식물에도 맵지 않고, 짜지 않으며, 아기들도 즐겨 먹을 수 있는 유동식 혹은 반유동식으로 된 영양가치가 좋은 음식물을 발전시켜 애용하도록 하는 것이 민족적인 긴급한 과제라고 하겠다. 그렇지 않으면 선진제국 모양으로 이유기에 있는 아이들을 위해서 아이들이 즐겨 먹을 수 있는 이유식을 크게 발전시켜서 이유기의 아이들에게 저렴하게 공급할 수 있는 생산공장과 제도의 마련이 긴급하다고 하겠다. 우리 민족의 체위를 향상 시키는데 영양학자와 영양사들에게 기대 하는 바가 크다. 육아하는 어머니의 교육정도와경제적인 면이 아기 체위에 주는 영향에 대한 연구에서는 교육정도가 높고, 경제적으로 좋은 위치에 있는 엄마가, 교육정도가 낮고 경제적으로 가난한 위치에 있는 어머니보다 아이들 체위에 훨씬 좋게 기를 수 있다는 것을 알았다. 특히 이유기에 들어간 6개월 이후에 체위 격차가 심한 것을 볼 때 보충해 주는 음식물의 적절한 보급이 얼마나 필요한가를 말해 주는 것이며 이에는 어머니의 교양과 열의와 경제적 뒷받침이 얼마나 필요하다는 것을 말해주는 것이다. 지역별로 서울에서 부유층 가정과 학교 아동, 농촌 지역 가정과 학교아동, 강원도 산간지역 가정과 학교 아등으로 나누어서 자라나는 아동들의 체위와 이학적 소친을 연구 조사한 바로는 서울 부유층이 제일 좋고 그 다음이 서울 빈한층, 강원도 산간지역 아동의 순으로 좋았으며 농촌지역 아종은 체위가 가장 떨어졌다. 구각증, 구내염등은 강원도 산간지역 아동에 제일 많고, 다음이 농촌지역, 서울 판자촌지역의 순으로 많으며 서울부유충지역이 가장 적어서 이는 산간일수록 또 는 빈한할수록 등물성단백질이 부족되는 것을 말해 주는 것이다. 지역별 혈색소치는 109gm/100ml 이하인 경우가 서울 빈한층가정 아동에 제일 많아서 51.7%나 되며 다음이 산간지역가정, 농촌지역가정의 순으로 많으며 서울부유층가정 아동은 2.2%에 지나지 않는다. 한국아등의 체위와 일본아동의 체위를 비교해 본 바로는 출생 후 약 12개월까지는 별차가 없지만 그후로는 점차로 그 격차가 심해져서 $12{\sim}15$세 사이에 평균체중면에서 5kg정도, 신장면에서 5cm정도의 큰 격차를 나타냈다. 그러나 그후로 성인이 되어감에 따라서 그 격차는 좁아졌다. 이는 일본국이 경제적으로 우리보다 우위에 있음에 따라서 아이들 성장에 필요한 영양분을 적기에 적당하게 공급해 주었기 때문이며 우리는 많은아이들이 가만하기 때문에 그 나이에 맞는 영양분 보급을 적당히 하지 못한 결과로 생각할 수 밖에 없다. 한국 아동의 발육표준치를 1965년초에 측정한 것과 1975년도에 측정한 것을 비교해 본 결과 1975년 치는 1965년도치에 비해 체중과 신장 면에서 상당히 증가하였다. 이는 우리라라 경제상태가 좋아지면서 굶는 아이들이 적어지거나 없어졌을 뿐만 아니라 식품 내용이 개선된 때문으로 해석된다. 따라서 민족의 체위가 개선되고 향상되려면 제일 먼저 해결되어야 할 문제는 국가의 경제력이 향상될뿐만 아니라 빈부의 격차가 적어져서 우리나라에 생을 받은 사람은 누구나 굶는 자가 없이 균형 있는 영양분을 충분히 섭취 할 수 있는기회를 갖도록 되어야 하겠다. 영양학자와 식품관리자들은 우러나라 아이들이 타고난 체위의 잠재성을 충분히 키우기 위해서 어떠한 음식물이 얼마나 필요한지 계산하여 이를 작물로 충분히 충당할 수 있도륵 계획해서 농수산물을 생산하도록 해야겠다. 영양학자들은 우리 민족의 음식물을 개선해서 아기들이 즐겨 먹을 수 있는 어른들의 음식물, 영양식을 발전시켜 이유기에 받는 우리 어린아기들의 수난을 조속히 극복하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 영양에 대한 교육을 국민학교, 중학교 교과과정에 많이 넣어서 교육하고 영양에 대한 교육과 보급을 조직적으로, 신문, 라디오, 텔레비젼등을 통해서 성인교육을 강화해서 모든 국민들이 적은 돈을 가지고도 보다 나은 영양물을 구해서 섭취할 수 있는 지혜를 가지도록 해야겠다. 국민학교 재학중 및 졸업시기를 전후딘서 체위가 많이 떨어지며 그 영향이 일생동안 간다는 것을 감안할 때 국민학교에서 점심 한끼라도 영양식을 보급해서 우리 국민체위 향상을 위해서 나라에서 직접적으로 공헌하는 바가 있었으면 한다.

  • About the phenomenon of being imaged of everything, the scholars of the humanities who had studied on the simple reason structure in a text have been in a big agony how accept it. Especially, semiologists have studied about this for a long time and the points at issues of Saussure, Peirce as well as Umbeto Eco are more outstanding. Being based upon his philosophic interesting from medieval esthetics to modern semiotics, Eco was very concerned about the field of general esthetics and poputar arts like television and cartoons. He connected the mutual open-relations between 'signifier' and 'signified' debated in Semiotics with the open and vague modern arts and regarding it as a deviation from the custom, intensively studied the film-media. Saussure is a representative figure of semiotics and explained Sign and the character of semiotics as the division into two parts such as signifier/ signified, form/ substance, langue/ parole, synchrony/ diachrony. The triadic semiotics (the theory that Sign is composed of the triadic structure like sign, referent and interpretant) of Peirce put the new item- 'interpretant' in sign and referent to connect them and open the possibility to introduce time in to the Sign. In this paper, I try to analyze a cartoon film in the semiotic structure with the systemic, reasonable and logical approach and analysis as as possible. While the images shown through a film were depended on the romantic and impressional judge in the past, due to semiotics, it' s quite possible to correlate the procedure of symbolization to social coherence so that we analyze the incredible power of images to suck audiences with the systemetic Sign. I accept all ot film-images including a cartoon film as not the simple esthetic arts but a social custom and system, want to serve as a aid to properly understand world and humanbeings and prevent the film-image from being mystic. A cartoon and a cartoon film which were begun with the link of a text and an illustration give shape to all of images such as materials, places and even thoughts with a cartoon icon existed in only a cartoon. A cartoon and a cartoon film simply and exquistely conceptualize the complex and vague attribute of an organic creature and extend them infinetly beyond language. However, it can be exploited as a mysticism to temptate the general public and a faking material. In addition to that, it can distort our world-knowledge engaging a political power and the massive power of mass media. In this paper, being based on semiotics to approach a cartoon film in a scientific and organic system, I conclude that a non-linguistic cartoon expression is entangled with the manifold signs and implies the supplementary meanings just like a regular linguistic expression. It remarks that the iconic images of a cartoon film are composed of the social codes and can be analyzed on grounds of a linguistic system.

  • Oceanic current maps in the secondary school science and earth science textbooks have played an important role in piquing students's inquisitiveness and interests in the ocean. Such maps can provide students with important opportunities to learn about oceanic currents relevant to abrupt climate change and global energy balance issues. Nevertheless, serious and diverse errors in these secondary school oceanic current maps have been discovered upon comparison with up-to-date scientific knowledge concerning oceanic currents. This study presents the fundamental methods and strategies for constructing such maps error-free, through the unification of the diverse current maps currently in the textbooks. In order to do so, we analyzed the maps found in 27 different textbooks and compared them with other up-to-date maps found in scientific journals, and developed a mapping technique for extracting digitalized quantitative information on warm and cold currents in the East Sea. We devised analysis items for the current visualization in relation to the branching features of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) in the Korea Strait. These analysis items include: its nearshore and offshore branches, the northern limit and distance from the coast of the East Korea Warm Current, outflow features of the TWC near the Tsugaru and Soya Straits and their returning currents, and flow patterns of the Liman Cold Current and the North Korea Cold Current. The first draft of the current map was constructed based upon the scientific knowledge and input of oceanographers based on oceanic in-situ measurements, and was corrected with the help of a questionnaire survey to the members of an oceanographic society. In addition, diverse comments have been collected from a special session of the 2013 spring meeting of the Korean Oceanographic Society to assist in the construction of an accurate current map of the East Sea which has been corrected repeatedly through in-depth discussions with oceanographers. Finally, we have obtained constructive comments and evaluations of the interim version of the current map from several well-known ocean current experts and incorporated their input to complete the map's final version. To avoid errors in the production of oceanic current maps in future textbooks, we provide the geolocation information (latitude and longitude) of the currents by digitalizing the map. This study is expected to be the first step towards the completion of an oceanographic current map suitable for secondary school textbooks, and to encourage oceanographers to take more interest in oceanic education.

Recognition and Narrative Aspects of the History of Korean Classic Literature from Two Korean Literature History Works Written in China (중국 한국문학사 2종의 한국고전문학사 인식과 서술 양상: 남북한문학사와 자국문학사의 수용과 변용을 중심으로)

  • This study focuses on two specific history of Korean literature in Chinese: the outline of The History of Joseon Literature (2010) by Li Yan and The History of Joseon Literature (1988, 2008) by Wei Xu-sheng; it was conducted to compare narrative viewpoints to the history of South and North Korean literature and therefore identify distinguishable characteristics. As a result, the following was concluded. First, The History of Korean Literature by Cho Dong-il and The History of Korean Literature in North Korea (15 volumes) include thorough discussions on division of historical eras, concept of genres as well as individual literary works and applied such discussions on writing literary history. However, Wei Xu-sheng and Li Yan's The History of Korean Literature did not illuminate theoretical discussion of South and North Korea. Li Yan's outline of The History of Joseon Literature was published in 2010 and the first edition of Wei Xu-sheng's The History of Joseon Literature was published in 1986 and later was published as revised editions in 2000 and 2008. Regarding published dates, it is a matter of course to reference Cho Dong-il's The History of Korean Literature, published in the 1980s, or The History of Korean Literature in North Korea (15 volumes), published in the 1990s; nevertheless, neither Wei Xu-sheng nor Li Yan used those texts in their works. Their works were heavily influenced by the narrative tradition of the history of national literature and therefore, entailed unsophisticated discussion on the division of historical eras or the concept of genres. Second, those two texts also emphasized external factors such as politics, society, economy and culture and explicitly mention these factors in historical overview of each chapter. Such an approach is commonly used in narratives of literary history under socialist regimes, including The History of Korean Literature in North Korea (15 volumes). Accordingly, evaluations based on 'political standards' - stress of people, nationality, practicality and so forth - in main texts are particularly accentuated, akin to narratives of literary history under socialist regimes. Finally, since those two Korean literature history works are written by Chinese scholars, they focus on correlation between Chinese literature history and Korean literature history. However, several genre-related terminologies such as Xiaopin (a kind of essay), Yuefu (a kind of popular song/poem), Yuyan (fable), Shuochang (telling of popular stories with the interspersal songs), Shizhuan (biography or/and memoirs in history) were adopted directly from Chinese literature. In analyzing Korean literature using terminologies introduced from Chinese literature, differences between original and alternative definitions were not examined in detail. While some terminologies and concepts were adopted directly without further consideration as to state of the two nations, it is also interesting to note that dichotomy, mainly used in Korean literature history, was used to discuss the genre of Cheonki (romance tale), relevant to Suyichon and Keumosinhua, rather than follow traditions of Chinese literature history.

  • After independence, more introductory books on Korean culture were published in both Korea and Japan, along with various papers briefly presenting relevant materials. There are differences depending on the research field, however, a considerable number of articles about Buddhist paintings were published. Research on Korean sculpture was quite active among Japanese scholars. And numerous articles and publications on Korean painting were also presented in both Korea and Japan. Publications on Korean ceramics were increased as much as in other fields. From the late 1980's through late 1990's, research on Korean cultural properties continued to increase, as many young scholars began to conduct research very actively in Korea, producing many articles to introduce new materials. A small number of Japanese scholars also continued to research Korean cultural properties. The overall number of Korean researchers also increased, as existing scholars were joined by students who went to Japan to study and conduct research, thereby helping to significantly expand the area and topics of research. In this period, the exchange exhibitions between Korea and Japan were increased. Also the substantial research reports was began to be published by the national institution. From the early 2000 thrugh present, in all fields, research has progressed and improved since the late 1990's, with many individuals pursuing a microscopic approach to their artifacts and works. More graduate students have been focusing on Korean cultural properties in Japan as the subject of their master's or doctorial thesis in art history, and overall number of researchers in various areas has increased. In the field of Buddhist painting, painting, and Buddhist crafts some important books and articles have been published. However, research achievements have been somewhat uneven. In the area of ceramics, several significant examples of substantial research reports were published by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage. These publications are outstanding references that illustrate the future direction of research on Korean cultural properties in Japan.

  • The contents and method of education of all Korean scholars are similar to the contents and method of education provided by Zhu Xi(朱熹), but they operated in a somewhat different way according to schools. Those who served as the first directors of Donam Seowon were Kim Gip(金集, 1574~1656), Song Joon-gil(宋浚吉, 1606~1672) and Song Si-yeol(宋時烈, 1607~1689), who were the writers of Kim Jang-saeng(金長生, 1548~1631). Donam Seowon is supposed to have weakened the status of scholarship and the activities of lectures as HwaYang Seowon and Seoksil Seowon, which principals were all the Noron(老論) scholars, grew to be the center of education institution of the Noron. Donam Seowon have not preserved the school regulations. But the way of operating system of Donam Seowon can be guessed through the letter of Song Joon-gil, who was the headmaster of the late 17th century on the whole operation of Donam Seowon. From this letter, it is assumed that the school of Donam Seowon is similar to the 'Unbyoung-Jungsa regulations' written by Lee Yi(李珥). The headmasters of Donam Seowon was the Noron scholars. And scholars of the Kim Chang-hyeop(金昌協, 1651~1708) school became headmasters more than the scholars of Kwon Sang-ha(權尙夏, 1641~1721) school. Headmasters of the Donam Seowon had served as the headmasters of HwaYang Seowon and Seoksil Seowon also. In the early days of the establishment of the Donam Seowon, the lecture activities conducted in Donam Seowon were preceded by the textbooks of Kim Jang-saeng/Song Si-yeol's teaching curriculum and neo-confucian books[i.e Sohak (小學)${\rightarrow}$Family Ritual(家禮)${\rightarrow}$Simkyong(心經)${\rightarrow}$Keunsarok(近思錄). It is assumed that the scholars of Seoksil Seowon, who was a Noron Nak-ron(洛論) scholars, gradually adopted Lee Yi's teaching curriculum[i.e, Sohak(小學)${\rightarrow}$Sasoe(四書)${\rightarrow}$Okyoung(五經)]. This lecture contents and procedure was contents and procedure of the Seoksil Seowon, established and operated by the scholars of the Kim Chang-hyeop school. Entrance qualification of Donam Seowon's did not place importance on the social status, but on scholarship and personality. The examination for a high-ranking government official was not allowed. Although the principle, students had to participate in the lecture and study(講學), they were living in Seowon, while the financial and operating of the Seowon became increasingly difficult, the students were changed to participate in the conference(講會) held twice a month while studying at their homes.

  • The most difficult things, when we study the future-telling science of human destiny, are in case of what one's individual's fate is bad which is shown by Saju-Palza(四柱八字), In that case, we have faced the problems on how we live ; to follow or to deny our fate under the brief of improving our lives by trying to make hard efforts, regardless of the bad Saju-Palza(四柱八字). However, we can hardly find the clear answer to those questions. 『Liao Fan 4 lessons(了凡四訓)』 shows that one's destiny can be improved by accumulating good deeds despite of the bad Saju-Palza(四柱八字). Someone says that future can be created, not be foreseen. As well, Dr. Steven Coby says that the best definite way to forecast future is in creating the future. Anyhow, the strong desire and curiosity to know one's individual's future is having been lasted until now since the Genesis. we guess these desires may be one of our basic instinct. If then, the function and role of the future-telling science will be to increase the accuracy of future prediction, whether our fate has been fixed or been able to be changeable. Therefore, this study summarizes the definition of confusing terms, focusing on Gyeokguk(格局) and Sangshin(相神), the core of Myeongrihak(命理學), which is considered to be one of the most popular future-telling science. Concering Gyeok(格), in this paper, Nae-Gyeok(內格) has been mainly considered and Oi-Gyeok(外格) or Special-Gyeok(別格) have not been addressed. Specifically, it summarized the views of the classical Myeongri(命理) books and modern scholars on Gyeokguk(格局) and Yongshin(用神). In particular, it also summarized the comparison of various concepts of Gyeokguk(格局), the advantages and disadvantages of each Nae-Gyeok(內格)'s characteristic, the determination order of Nae-Gyeok(內格) and the good case and bad case of it's Gyeok(格). In addition, it was necessary to summarize the concept of Sangshin(相神), which was talked about in 『Japyeongjinjeon』 and to briefly summarize Heeshin(喜神) with a broader concept than Sangshin(相神). The different usage of Sangshin(相神) was also analyzed, between the priority interpretation of Cheongan(天干) in Day-Column(日柱) and the interpretation based on Jijee(地支) in Month-Column(月柱). Finally, this paper was completed, leaving it later as a research task, the confusion that comes from the scholars' acceptance of the comprehensive diversity on the same term.

  • The building process of any geological map involves linking sparse lithological outcrop information with equally sparse geometrical measurements, all in a single entity which is the preferred interpretation of the field geologist. The actual veracity of this interpretative map is partially dependent upon the frequency and distribution of geological outcrops compounded by the complexity of the local geology. Geophysics is commonly used as a tool to augment the distribution of data points, however it normally does not have sufficient geometrical constraints due to: a) all geophysical inversion models being inherently non-unique; and b) the lack of knowledge of the physical property contrasts associated with specific lithologies. This contribution proposes the combined use of geophysical edge detection routines and 'three point' solutions from topographic data as a possible approach to obtaining geological contact geometry information (strike and dip), which can be used in the construction of a preliminary geological model. This derived geological information should first be assessed for its compatibility with the scale of the problem, and any directly observed geological data. Once verified it can be used to help constrain the preferred geological map interpretation being developed by the field geologist. The method models the contacts as planar surfaces. Therefore, it must be ensured that this assumption fits the scale and geometry of the problem. Two examples are shown from folded sequences at the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada.
