대안적 공론장의 현실화를 지칭하는 용어는 저항언론, 대항언론, 민중언론, 지하언론, 풀뿌리언론, 대안언론, 시민미디어 등 다양한 개념이 존재하다. 시대적 상황에 따라, 논자의 강조점에 따라 다양한 개념들이 제시되고 있는 것이다. 본 논문은 한국의 언론구조가 민주적 공론장으로서 제 기능을 수행하지 못함에 따라 이를 보완하고자 했던 대안적 공론장의 변화과정을 고찰하고 있다. 정리하자면, 한국의 대안적 공론장은 70년대의 저항언론 자유언론에서, 80년대의 대항언론 민중언론, 90년대의 대안언론, 2000년대의 대안언론 시민미디어의 유형으로 변화해왔다. 이러한 변화를 추동하는 요인은 무엇보다도 시민사회의 확장과 사회운동 진영이다. 그리고 사회운동 주도세력의 성격에 따라 대안적 공론장의 내용성 역시 변화해 왔다. 80년대 민중운동이 한국의 사회운동을 이끌었을 때는 대안적 공론장도 당파성에 입각한 민중언론의 성격을 나타냈으며, 90년대 시민운동으로 그 주도권이 바뀌었을 때는 대안언론, 시민미디어의 유형으로 발현됐다. 또한, 사회운동과 대안적 공론장은 변증법적으로 변화 발전했다. 요컨대, 사회운동은 대안적 공론장을 통해 운동의 활성화와 역량을 축적하면서 사회변화를 이끌었고, 이러한 사회운동은 다시 대안적 공론장의 변화 발전으로 이어지고 있다는 것이다.

Background: The need to develop alternative chemicals is increasing worldwide due to the strengthening of global chemical regulations and consumer safety awareness in the marketplace. Objectives: We aimed to review domestic and foreign technology trends for exploring alternative candidate algorithms that can be used to develop safer alternatives to strengthen global market competitiveness and protect public health in the future. Methods: We searched the current status of research trends, companies related to the development of alternative chemicals in domestic and foreign countries. For this, we referred to research papers and websites by companies and institutes related to such alternatives. Results: Among the domestic and foreign research trends, more studies in South Korea were focused on predicting molecular-based physicochemical properties and toxicity than were reporting on research exploring alternative candidates. Three web-based databases and six tools were being developed. More studies in other countries predicted information to consider in alternative development than reported on research exploring alternative candidates, and four web-based databases and three tools were being developed. Among the companies related to the development of alternative chemicals, 286 alternatives classified as 'EVALUATED ALTERNATIVE' in MARKETPLACE accounted for the most significant proportion in Europe on a continent basis, and the largest number in the United States (US) on a national basis. In South Korea, only significant companies were registered. Conclusions: In this study, it was found to be necessary to provide public technology support platforms to explore alternative candidates considering various aspects in order to support alternative development. In conclusion, exploring alternative candidate algorithms could contribute to the response to the global trends in the chemical industry and to supporting companies and researchers developing safer alternatives in the future.

Library communities face many problems and limitations in describing alternative format materials based on the traditional MAchine Readable Cataloging (MARC) structure. To address these problems, this research proposes an XML-based descriptive metadata framework that establishes general but fundamental bibliographic aspects of various alternative format materials by providing core elements that are essential in describing these materials. Different from existing bibliographic structures, the proposed metadata framework can represent a fundamental descriptive structure by establishing four upper-level categories, 17 core elements, and 10 sub-elements in a hierarchical structure optimized to alternative format materials. By using this principal descriptive structure, the proposed metadata framework can guide different institutions in the creation of bibliographic records for these materials in a consistent way. It is also expected to address the difficulties in describing alternative format materials in library communities and enhance the information accessibility of individuals with various types of disabilities. In addition, the proposed metadata framework is an alternative approach which functions as a mediator between heterogeneous characteristics of alternative format materials and the existing bibliographic structures in library communities.

Kojongsi persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is the major cultivar of astringent persimmon in southern of Korea. Kojongsi persimmon leaf has been traditionally used for acute and chronic diseases in Oriental countries. The purpose of this study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidative activities of the extract of Kojongsi persimmon leaf during growth. We investigated the antioxidant effects of the persimmon leaf extracts during growth on total polyphenol, total flavonoid, electronic donating ability (DPPH), nitrite (NO) scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. The next, we investigated the possible cell protective effects of the persimmon extract treatment against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced injury in HaCaT keratinocytes. The contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid in leaf extract of Kojongsi persimmon were increased in time-dependent manner. In Jun, DPPH and NO radical scavenging and SOD-like activities in the leaf extract of Kojongsi persimmon was increased to the highest. However, the antioxidant activities in persimmon varieties were not any difference. The cell cytotoxicity by UVB irradation in HaCaT keratinocytes was significantly increased with the compared to the control group. However, the treatment of leaf extract of Kojongsi persimmon in HaCaT keratinocytes was shown to protective effect against UVB-induced cell cytotoxicity. These results suggest that the leaf extract of Kojongsi persimmon has potent antioxidant activity, and protective effect against UVB-induced keratinocyte injury. Thus, these properties may be contributed in the care of acute and chronic diseases.
