The factors contributing to the formation of an important scientific concept in South Korea and its circulation in the society are the scientific knowledge that had been already formed, matured, and established in the U.S.A, Europe and Japan and has been introduced into Korea, and the institutions that have been formed during the recent modernization in South Korea. The concept of 'genetic information' cannot be an exception in this context. The concept of genetic information is the one that has been extended and intensified by the genomics and bioinformatics formed and matured through the Human Genome Projects from the former concept of inheritance or heredity within the framework of classical and molecular genetics. The purpose of this study was to find out 'how the production structure of genetic information in South Korea has been formed', under the perspective of the conceptual, epistemic, and institutional holisticity or integratedness in the concept and knowledge production structure idealized in Western advanced nations. The discourse of genetic engineering popular in the mid 1980's in South Korea has catalyzed the development of molecular biology. However, the institutional balance that had been established for the biochemistry departments in Natural Science College and Medical College was not formed between the genetic engineering and genetics departments in South Korea. Therefore, they were unable to achieve the more integrative and macro-level disciplinary impact on life sciences, largely due to institutional lack of the capable (human) genetics departments in some leading Korean colleges of Medicine. In genomics, the cutting-edge reprogramming and restructuring of the traditional genetics in the West, South Korea has not invested, even meagerly, in the infrastructure, fund, and research and development (R & D) for the Basic or First Phase of the research trajectory in the Human Genome Project. Without a minimal Basic Phase, the genomics research and development in Korea has been running more or less for the Advanced or Second Phase. Bioinformatics has started developing in Korea under a narrow perspective which regards it as a mere sub-discipline of information technology (IT). Having developed itself in parallel with genomics, bioinformatics contains its own unique logics and contents that can be both directly and indirectly connected to the information science and technology. As a result, bioinformatics reveals a defect in respect of being synergistically integrated into genetics and life sciences in Korea. Owing to the structural problem in the production, genetic information appears to be produced in a fragmented pattern in the Korean society since its fundamental base is weak and thin. A good example of the conceptual and institutional fragmentedness is that 'the genetics of individual identification' is not a normal integrated part of the Korean genetics, but a scientific practice exercised in the departments of legal medicine in a few Medical Colleges. And the environment contributing to the production structure of genetic information in South Korea today comprises 'sangmyung gonghak'(or life engineering) discourse and non-governmental organization movement.

하천의 수리 및 하도의 특성으로 대표되는 물리적 환경(하도 및 수리 특성)은 생태계 기반으로서 수질특성과 더불어 생물에 미치는 영향이 아주 크다. 따라서 하천의 물리적 환경을 진단하고 평가하는 경우에는 상 중 하류의 위치에 따른 하도의 지형학적 특성과 하천의 규모 및 유량의 크기 등에 따라 하천의 유형을 분류하고 그 유형별 특성에 따라 하천환경의 평가시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다. 1980년 후반 이후에는 세계 각국에서 환경보전, 하천복원 및 하천관리 등 종합적인 하천공학적 관점에서 적용할 수 있는 하천분류체계가 제시되었으며 1990년대 이후 선진국들은 정성적 또는 정량적인 하천의 서식환경 평가시스템을 구축하여 적용하고 있으며 대표적으로 정량적 평가시스템을 운영하는 국가는 독일과 미국이고, 정성적 평가시스템을 운영하는 국가는 영국이며, 호주는 영국과 미국의 평가시스템을 통합한 시스템을 운영하고 있다. 한편, 국내에서는 하천환경에서 생태계 기반인 하천의 물리적 특성(구조)에 대한 평가 및 진단 절차도 없이 시행되고 있는 사례가 대부분이다. 또한 지금까지는 하천의 자연도 평가 연구 등에서 선진국들의 하천환경평가시스템을 여과 없이 적용함으로써 국내의 하천특성을 제대로 반영하지 못하는 문제점을 노출하고 있다. 따라서 국내 하천의 물리환경 평가시스템에서는 생물 서식의 기반이 되는 하천의 하도지형 특성 및 수리특성을 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 하천평가에 앞서 하천유형 분류에 따른 하도특성은 하상경사에 따라서 급경사 하천(high-gradient stream), 중경사 하천(mid-gradient stream), 완경사 하천(low-gradient stream)으로 구분하였으며 하천의 물리환경 평가시스템의 평가영역 및 평가지표는 정량적 평가시스템을 운영하는 독일(LAWA, 2004)과 미국(EPA, 2004)의 연구결과를 참고하여 공통지표를 추출하고, 우리나라의 하천이용 및 정비현황을 반영하여 하천유형을 3가지로 분류하고 각 하천유형에 대하여 3개 영역 10개 평가지표를 5개 등급으로 구분하여 평가시스템을 구축하였다. 하천에 대한 하천 지형특성과 현황을 조사할 항목은 수리 및 하도영역의 6개 항목, 하안영역의 2개 항목, 하천교란 영역 2개 항목으로 3개 영역으로 구분해서 평가하고 그 점수에 따라 1등급은 매우좋음(1등급)상태의 $20>{\sim}18{\geq}$점, 좋음(2등급)상태의 $18>{\sim}14{\geq}$점, 보통(3등급)상태의 $14>{\sim}8{\geq}$점, 나쁨(4등급)상태의 $8>{\sim}14{\geq}$점, 매우나쁨(5등급)상태의 4>점으로 등급을 산정하였다. 매우 좋음의 1등급은 참조하천이며 좋음~매우나쁨의 2등급~5등급은 비교하천으로 구분하였으며 보통보다 높은 경우는 자연하천, 낮은 경우는 인공하천으로 나누어 서식처 기반에 따라 평가체계를 구축하였다. 한국형 하천환경 물리평가 체계가 확실히 구축되기 위해서는 각자의 평가 등급이 적절하게 평가 되는지를 검증해야 하기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 하천유형별 자연하천과 인공하천을 비교 분석하였고 평가 영역별 평가지표를 기준으로 상관분석을 통한 상관성을 분석하고 더 나아가 가중치의 적절성 및 각각의 등급에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한다.

The present study examined the scientific awareness appearing in Korean tokusatsu series by focusing on Vectorman: Warriors of the Earth. As a work representing Korean tokusatsu series, Vectorman: Warriors of the Earth achieved the greatest success among tokusatsu series. This work was released thanks to the continued popularity of Japanese tokusatsu since the mid-1980s and the trend of robot animations. Due to the chronic problems regarding Korean children's programs-the oversupply of imported programs and repeated reruns-the need for domestically produced children's programs has continued to come to the fore. However, as the popularity of Korean animation waned beginning in the mid-1990s, inevitably the burden fr producing animation increased. As a result, Vectorman: Warriors of the Earth was produced as a tokusatsu rather than an animation, and because this was a time when an environment for using special effects technology was being fostered in broadcasting stations, computer visual effects were actively used for the series. The response to the new domestically produced tokusatsu series Vectorman: Warriors of the Earth was explosive. The Vectorman series explained the abilities of cosmic beings by using specific scientific terms such as DNA synthesis, brain cell transformation, and special psychological control device instead of ambiguous words like the scientific technology of space. Although the series is unable to describe in detail about the process and cause, the way it defines technology using concrete terms rather than science fiction shows how scientific imagination is manifesting in specific forms in Korean society. Furthermore, the equal relationship between Vectorman and the aliens shows how the science of space, explained with the scientific terms of earth, is an expression of confidence regarding the advancement of Korean scientific technology which represents earth. However, the female characters fail to gain entry into the domain of science and are portrayed as unscientific beings, revealing limitations in terms of scientific awareness.

Since the 1990s, the handmade shoes industrial agglomeration district has formed in the city center, Hyangchon-dong, Jung-gu in Daegu. This paper aims to examine the formation process, to analyze the viability, and to propose policy implications of manufacturing industrial districts in a city center through studying this industrial district. The district's creation began as the result of the dissolution of local production and marketing system of handmade shoes in the 1980s, the excellent accessibility of the location and an inexpensive rent. The district's core viability lies in the external economies derived from local networks through social divisions of labor of production and marketing systems. Because of the lack of organizers of the social division of labor and 'integrated production system done by single business', the effect of external economies created by the social division of labor is limited. To get over this limitation, the district should to be restructured into a 'cultural street of leather crafts' as a part of 'making modern historical and cultural belt' programs within Daegu downtown regeneration policies. To support the restructuring, public assistant measures such as the establishment of a corporate services center should be strengthened.

Domestic urban railway underground station structures, which were built in the 1970s ad 1980s, had been constructed as Cut-and-Cover construction system without seismic design. Because the trends of earthquake occurrence is constantly increasing all over the world as well as the Korean Peninsula, massive human casualties and severe properties and structures damage might be occurred in an non-retrofitted underground station during an earthquake above a certain scale. Therefore, to evaluate the retrofit effect and soil-structure interaction of seismic retrofitted underground station, a centrifugal shaking table test with enhanced stiffness on its structural main member are carried out on 1/60 scaled model using the Kobe and Northridge earthquakes. The seismic retrofitted members, which are columns, side walls, and slabs, are evaluated to comparing with existing non-retrofitted centrifuge test results Also, to simulate the scaled ground using variation of shear velocity according to site conditions such as ground depth and density, resonant column test is performed. From the test results, the relative displacement behavior between ground and structures shows comparatively similar in ground, but is increased on ground surface. The seismic retrofit effects were measured using relative displacements and moment behavior of column and side walls rather than slabs. Additionally, earthquake wave can be used to main design factor due to large structural deformation on Kobe earthquake wave than Norhridge earthquake wave.

1992년 한강수계법이 제정되면서 우리나라에 도입된 오염총량관리제는 현재 2차총량관리 시행계획수립 단계에 이르렀다. 오염총량제에서 수질모델은 수계구간별로 설정된 기준유량과 목표수질 조건을 달성하는 지를 판단할 수 있는 도구로 사용되며, 다양한 모델들이 사용되고 있다. 그 중 하천수질모형으로는 주로 QUAL2E, QUALKO, QUALKO2 모형으로 압축할 수 있다. QUAL2E 모형은 1980년대에 개발되어 국내외로 널리 이용하고 있으나 SOD를 0차나 일정량으로 처리하였고, 부착조류에 의한 용존산소 변화와 부유 조류 사멸시 발생하는 유기물이 고려되지 않았다. 또한 용존산소가 부족한 상태에서 반응이 활발한 탈질화과정이 포함되지 않아 이들 반응에 의해 수질이 영향을 받는 하천에 적용하기에는 한계가 있었다. 그리고 QUAL2E 모델은 여러 개의 지류를 가진 대형 하천에는 적용하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 국내에서는 1999년 QUAL2E 모델에 WASP5의 장점을 접목시켜 QUALKO 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델은 QUAL2E에 부유성 조류의 사멸로 인한 유기물의 내부증가, 탈질화 반응 및 부착식물의 광합성 호흡 과정을 추가한 것이다. 또한 QUAL2E 모델에서 BOD는 CBOD로 입력되고 모의되므로 bottle BOD의 개념이 결여되어 있으므로 이러한 문제점을 보완하고, 조류의 생산 및 사멸에 의한 내부생산 유기물 증가와 탈질화 반응 과정을 추가한 것이다. 우리나라에서 진행되고 있는 총량관리 대상물질은 2010년까지는 $BOD_5$이며, 2011년부터는 일부 지역에 총인이 포함될 예정이다. 2007년에 실험실에서 측정하는 BOD5나 유기성 질소 또는 유기성 인을 그대로 입력하여 계산되고 출력할 수 있으며, 향후 오염총량제의 관리대상항목으로 논의되고 있는 TOC를 모의할 수 있는 QUALKO2가 개발되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 향후 활용도가 클 것으로 기대되는 QUALKO2 모형에 기존 QUAL2E-UNCAS 모형에 서 수행할 수 있는 불확실성 해석 기법인 Monte Carlo 모의를 가능하도록 모형을 수정하고자 한다. 실제 하천에서의 수질해석에 대한 단순한 표현인 수학적 모형은 불확실성을 내포하고 있으며, Monte Carlo 해석을 사용하여 모형의 불확실도 정량화와 매개변수의 불확실성을 통계학적으로 기술할 수 있다. 또한 각 지점에 대한 계산결과치들에 대해 빈도 및 누가빈도분포 값을 제시함으로서 모형 예측치들의 전반적인 분포경향을 평가할 수 있으며, 하천수질에 대해서 환경기준치를 위배할 가능성을 산정하는데 활용할 수 있다. 우리나라 실정에 맞는 QUALKO2 모형에 Monte Carlo 모의를 통해 신뢰도 기반의 수질해석을 수행하게 된다면 수질정책의 기초자료 제공에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

With the spread of Personal Computers(PC) in the 1980's, many people started to deal businesses with PC. From late 1990's, the Internet age with PC have started and many people have showed keen interest in cyber-space and now they are utilizing it. Since 2000's the use of cyber-space have skyrocketed and it caused significant changes to humans' life. There was a huge prosperity to us but the new kind of crime, cyber-crime, was raised. Unlike past physical type of crimes, those cyber-crimes take place in the cyber-space and they have special features of non-facing, anonymity, specialty, technologic, repetition, continuation. Those cyber-crimes are continually growing since 2003 and in 2010 it almost doubled compared to 2003. General cyber-crimes like phishing-scam pornography circulation was most of them and notably perpetrators of them are younger generation. Recently cyber-crimes are showing the trend of advancing more and more and cyber-bullying, fraud like phishing scam are on the rise. The police are responding by making 'Cyber Terror Response Center', but it does not work effectively with the problems of breakup of prevention and investigation unit, procedure of investigation and the system itself. So, I suggest practical use of private security to remedy our police's weakness and to prevent cyber-crimes. Preventing solutions of cyber-crime with private security are physical defense of large-scale servers and vital computers, building of Back-up system to prevent vital data loss, and building of cyber-crime preventing system combining software and hardware.

In this study, we examined distribution channel relationship by using the idea of Cheong, which is a unique feeling an positive role in Korean society. Companies make great efforts to maintain long-term relationship with buyers. Understanding distinctive relationship system of each culture should precede these efforts to bring effective results. So we considered how Cheong, a meaningful factor in Korean distribution channel, affects relationship quality and performance. As a result of research analysis from 272 survey questionnaires of retailers, engaging in Crops Protected Material industry in Korea, supplier's idiosyncratic investment, retailer's Cheong, and dependence of retailers on suppliers have positive effects on relationship quality. Supplier's idiosyncratic investment and cognitive factors have the highest influence and Cheong, an emotional factor, follows. Dependence, a motivational factor has the least influence. We confirmed that retailer's cooperation and long-term orientation are directly influenced by retailer's commitment. Active cooperation of the retailer, a partner of a distribution channel, is regarded as an essential factor for supplier's effective business. Retailer's commitment increased that cooperation. Retailer's trust and commitment also decreased relationship conflicts. The results of this study imply that companies should increase idiosyncratic investment to improve relationship quality. But increasing idiosyncratic investment is limited because it requires monetary investment. Therefore companies need to recognize the importance of Cheong, revealed as a new factor, improving relationship quality and to make the best use of it. In this study, we contributed theoretically by examining the role of Cheong, and introducing its distribution discipline. We also make practical suggestions about supplier's relationship management.
