  • 본 연구는 BS 열수추출물의 항염증 활성을 조사하기 위하여 LPS로 자극된 RAW 264.7세포에서 세포가 방출하는 NO, $PGE_2$, COX생성량과 염증성 사이토카인인 $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$의 생성량의 변화를 조사하여 항염증성 기능의 유무와 정도를 알아보고자 하였다. 마우스 대식세포인 RAW 264.7에 대한 BS추출물의 농도별(0, 50, 100, $200\;{\mu}g/ml$) 세포독성을 알아보기 위하여 MTT assay를 수행하여 $200\;{\mu}g/ml$ 이하의 농도에서는 세포독성이 낮아 기본적으로 세포의 생존율에 영향을 주지 않는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. RAW 264.7세포에 BS추출물을 전처리하고 LPS를 18시간 동안 처리한 후 NO의 생성량은 정상세포에 비하여 약 8배 이상 증가되었으며, BS추출물을 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도 이상으로 처리한 실험군에서는 농도의존적으로 nitrite의 생성량이 유의하게 감소되었다. $PGE_2$의 생성량은 LPS처리에 의하여 정상세포에 비하여 약 14배 이상 증가되었으며 BS추출물을 100 및 $200\;{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 처리한 실험군에서는 농도의존적으로 유의하게 각각 55.1%, 39.9% 감소되었다. COX의 생성량은 LPS처리에 의하여 정상세포에 비하여 약 5.6배 증가되었으며 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 이상의 농도처리군에서는 농도의존적으로 유의하게 감소되었다. LPS처리후 $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $NF-{\alpha}$의 생성량은 정상세포에 비하여 급격하게 증가되었으며, 여러 농도(50, 100, $200\;{\mu}g/ml$)의 BS추출물로 처리한 실험군에서는 각각 아무런 처치를 하지 않은 세포에 비하여 농도의존적인 각각의 생성량이 감소되었다. 특히 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도 이상의 BS처리군에서는 모두 통계학적 유의성이 인정되었다. 이러한 결과는 BS에서 염증억제 효과가 있음을 in vitro 연구에서 확인할 수 있었고, 향후 유효성분 추출을 통한 항염증 물질의 연구 또는 예방하거나 치료할 수 있는 염증 억제 성분의 분리 및 그 작용기전 연구에 중요한 기초 자료가 될 것이라 사료된다.

  • 이중임금제는 특정 시점 이후 입사자 임금수준을 그 이전 입사자들의 임금수준보다 현저히 낮게 책정함으로써, 두 개의 임금지급방식이 존재하는 것을 의미한다. 이 이중임금제는 1980년대 정부의 탈규제선언과 이로 인해 경쟁이 격화되었던 미국 항공산업에서 확산된 바 있으며, 이후 소강상태를 보이다가 2007년 미국 자동차산업 Big Three(GM, Ford, FCA)와 전미자동차 노조(UAW)의 단체교섭에서 대대적으로 실행된 바 있다. 이중임금제는 인건비 절감 효과가 탁월하여, 빈사상태에 빠졌던 미국 자동차산업을 부활시킨 성공요인 중 하나로 손꼽힌다. 하지만, 이중임금제는 자신의 임금과 고용을 지키기 위한 기존 노조원들의 집단이기주의의 산물일 뿐만 아니라 입사도 하지 않은 잠재 신규인력에게 저임금이라는 차별을 부과하는 노사담합의 대표적인 예이다. 또한 노동조합의 전통적인 임금정책인 임금표준화정책으로부터의 명백한 이탈이며, 단일한 종업원 집단을 두 개의 임률이 각각 적용되는 종업원 집단으로 양분한다는 점에서 노동자 연대를 포기하는 정책이다. 이 논문은 노동조합 조직의 근본 목적과 정책에 반하는 이중임금제가 미국 노조들에 의해 왜, 그리고 어떻게 출현하게 되었는가에 주목한다. 그리고 우리나라 자동차산업 등에서 이중임금제를 포함한 노동자 연대의 약화, 노조내 집단 이기주의, 임금표준화정책의 후퇴 등이 발생할 가능성을 검토하고자 한다. 우리나라에서도 이중임금제의 초기형태인 대졸초임 삭감 등과 함께 정규직만의 임금 극대화 임금정책 추구와 임금표준화정책의 외면 등이 발생한 바 있다. 다양한 비정규직에 대한 정규직의 외면, 신규인력 채용을 둘러싼 노사간의 담합과 노조의 수뢰, 광주형 일자리 모델에 대한 금속노조의 반발 등의 현상 역시 이와 관련된 현상이다. 이러한 현상들은 결국 미국 자동차산업의 이중임금제가 미국만의 현상이 아니며, 우리나라 자동차산업에서도 동일하게 재현될 가능성이 높음을 뜻한다. 또한 우리나라 자동차산업에도 이중임금제로 대표되는 노사간의 담합과 노조 내 집단이기주의가 발생할 조건이 존재하고 있음을 의미한다. 이제 노동조합의 근본 목표에 대한 성찰과 이를 통한 전통적인 임금정책으로의 회귀가 필요한 시점이다.

  • This study evaluated the perception, consumption behavior, and optional attributes of Korean, Chinese, and U.S. consumers of energy bar products. Data were compared and analyzed by surveying 300 consumers in each country. Significant differences were observed in preference for energy bars according to their nationality, in the order China, the U.S., and Korea. Perception of taste, types and dietary suitability of the products ranked lower for Korean consumers, as compared to consumers of the United States and China. The order dietary fiber, protein, and calcium were the sought-after nutritional requirements of the products. The demand for protein was significantly higher in the U.S. Calcium demand was low in the United States and China, but was very high in Korea, which could be attributed to the low calcium intake of Koreans. Other optional attributes which were closely associated with the purchase and re-purchase decision, included price, taste and delivery period. All three factors were recognized as important options in Korea, whereas awareness of packaging/appearance and brand was not. The taste, nutrients and price in the U.S. ranked high as important optional attributes, while the packaging, external and expiration dates were recognized as low. Unlike Korea and the U.S., important optional attributes for Chinese consumers were determined in the order expiration date, taste, and nutrients, and showed low perception for packaging, appearance, weight, counts, and prices. Evaluating the preference for the main and secondary ingredients, Koreans preferred nuts over grains, Americans preferred dried fruits over nuts, and Chinese preferred nuts and grains; both Korean and American consumers had low preference for dried vegetables. The preference for chocolate was low in Korea and China, whereas preference for jelly was high in China as compared to Korea and the U.S. The intention of purchasing energy bars was significantly lower in Korea than in the U.S. and China. A variety of nutritious functional bars have recently been distributed and sold in Korea, but they are mostly produced in the U.S., which is the largest producer and consumer worldwide. Taken together, results of this study indicate that the demand for nutritional enhancement and preferred materials vary according to the nationality. Hence, it is necessary to develop products that reflect these criteria. Further research is required to analyze the relationship between preference and consumption behavior for each material product developed in the future.

  • The purpose of this study was to approach to the internal meanings included in the Happening and the culture of hippies, by analysing the basic mental conditions in the process of the Happening. And this study was composed of the concept and the development of Happening, the characteristics of the hippies that related in the midst of the happening's background, and the formativeness between these factors and hippies'fashion. Since the happening a genre of fine arts expression attended the New School for social research in New York in 1954, Allan Kaprow direct-influenced by John Cage used the word 'Hapening'first, practicing '18 Happenings in 6 parts'at the Rueben gallery in 1959. Kaprow's 18 Happenings was one of the earliest opportunities for a wider public to attend the live events that several artists had performed more privately for various friends. Despite the very different sensibilities and structures of artist's works, artists were all thrown together by the press under the general heading of 'Happening', following Kaprow's 18 Happenings. Being considered as the root of the Happening 'Expression of Sound'of John Cage was the discovery of the exisiting thing- the Happening. Most artists were to be deeply influenced by Cage's theories and attitudes-that is, his sympathy for Zen Buddihism and oriental philosophy-and by reports of the Black Mountain events. These events would directly reflect contemporary painting and stemmed from the Futurists, Dadaists and Surrealists. And Happening's development background was based on the culture of hippies. Swinging London had been under the sway of psychedelic drugs and utopian visions of 'hippie'wave sweeping in from Califonia. This wave, which affected solid middle-class youth first and formost, began in Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. Without dwelling on the hippie movement here, it is worth nothing that it resulted from the convergence of several undercurrents : consciousness-expending drugs, the anti-Vietnam war developments, the impact of English pop groups on American music and the rise of protest songs, and finally the beatnik tradition of non-conformism. Hippie culture and its pursuit of love, peace and psychedelia was the antitheses of 1960s main street fashion. The media gave everyone with long hair the label of 'hippie', but it was always a very loose collage of attitudes and styles. The rejection of sexual taboos was conveyed by the hippie's refusal to wear. Although the bold exposure of body raised controversies because it went against the existing moral values, it has a significant implications. Psychedelics brought mind-expansion and the possibillity that modern technology (light show, synthesized electronic sounds), new fabrics or colors, and LSD could be utilized to provide an escape route from the dreariness of modern life. During the 1960s, traditional costumes, many of which had never been seen outside their native regions, became sought after and adopted in the West, initially by the young, who wanted to demonstrate their solidarity with cultures uncontaminated by mass industry. The most ardent proponents of such folk costumes were the hippies. Hippies dress was sometimes decribed as 'anti-fashion', produced by a patchwork of ragged cast-offs and flamboyant accessories, of outmoded Western dress and time-honored ethnic garments all combined, modified and permutated into variety of personal statements. 'Flower Power'became a reality. From the results of this study, we can see the expanding trend of the influence and the concept of the sew art genre 'Happening'in the formativeness as well as the fine arts field.

  • By virtue of the development of mass media, the cinema, the composite space art taking the visual and auditory elements together, exhibits the actual life of the realities, thereby having a mutually close relationship to social, cultural and economic fields and continuing to generate the fashion code as well as reflecting the image of the times. Especially, fashion style in movies delivers their image and atmosphere and becomes the means for containing the personality, spiritual world and inner thinking of the characters in the movie and inducing its plot. Therefore, this study was intended to make clear that fashion fuses and shares with a diversity of genres such as movies and the like, becomes the cultural model that proceeds to create a new culture in relation to daily life and induces and presents the trend of contemporary fashion. For this purpose, this study attempted to analyze fashion style in the movie. Lolita is the fiction published by the Russian?American writer Vladimir Nabokov($1899{\sim}1977$) in 1954. It is the fiction that portrays the unethical love between Humbert, a middleaged man, and Lolita, a girl in her 10s. It was cinematized by the director Stanley Kubrick for the first time in 1962 and revived by the movie director Adrian Lyne in 1997. The character of Lolita has a younger look like a girl and looks immature in the movie directed by the movie director Stanley Kubrick and the movie director Adrian Lyne. But the character of Lolita has the commonality that she showed an incomplete female image of having a sexually freewheeling thinking. Thereby, this study sought to prove that the created fashion style of the character in the film not only became the clue to enable us to know the time and space background in the film but also helped the film develop effectively by performing a role of portraying the character in the movie. And it attempted to present that it becomes both the foundation for leading the fashion trend shown in contemporary fashion and the code of mass culture. Fashion style of Lolita in the movie appears to be reflected diversely in mass culture as well as fashion style in the contemporary times.

  • The area covered by product liability in broadest sense is so vast that an attempt to analyse all its impact on the aviation world risk. Every effort has been made to confine our review of subject a closely as possible to its influence on aircraft manufacturers, airlines and passengers, in spite of strong connections with other spheres of commercial. Product Liability in aviation is the liability of aircraft's manufacturer, processor or non-manufacturing seller for injury to the person or property of a buyer or third party caused by a product which has been sold. Here-in a product is aircraft, third party is passengers who suffered damage by defective design, defective construction, inadequate instructions for handling in aircraft. Whenever a product turns out to be defective after it has been sold, there are under Anglo-American law three remedies available against the aircraft's manufacturer (1) liability for negligence (2) breach of warranty (3) strict liability in tort. There are Under continental law Three remedies available against the aircraft's manufacturer (1) liability for defective warranty (2) liability for non-fulfillment of obligation (3) liability in tort. It is worth pointing out here an action for breach of warranty or for defective warranty, for non-fulfillment of obligation is available only to direct purchaser on the basis of his contract with the aircraft's manufacturer, which of course weakness its range and effectiveness. An action for tort offers the advantage of being available also to third parties who have acquired the defective product at a later stage. In tort, obligations are constituted not only by contract, but also by stature and common law. In conclusion, There in no difference in principle of law. In conclusion I would like to make few suggestions regarding the product liability for aircraft's manufacturer. Firstly, current general product liability code does not specify whether government offices(e.g. FAA) inspector conducted the inspection and auditory certificate can qualify as conclusive legal evidence. These need to be clarified. Secondly, because Korea is gaining potential of becoming aircraft's manufacturer through co-manufacturing and subcontracting-manufacturing with the US and independent production, there needs legislation that can harmonize the protection of both aircraft's manufacturers and their injured parties. Since Korea is in primary stage of aviation industry, considerate policy cannot be overlooked for its protection and promotion. Thirdly, because aircraft manufacturers are risking restitution like air-carriers whose scope of restitution have widened to strict and unlimited liability, there needs importation of mandatory liability insurance and national warranty into the product liability for aircraft's manufacturers. Fourthly, there needs domestic legislation of air transportation law that clearly regulates overall legal relationship in air transportation such as carrier & aircraft manufacturer's liability, and aviation insurance.

  • Lead chromate is made by sodium dichromate and lead acetate, and has being used widely in the part of pigment, paints, inks, plastics and so on. Even though lead chromate has health hazards which like both lead and chromium, there are a few study about pigment workplaces using lead chromate in Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate workers' exposure levels and airborne lead and chromium concentration in the pigment workplaces using lead chromate. There are 20 workers in the total 5 workplaces. 10 workers(50%) have been exposed to lead and 3 workers(15%) have been exposed to chromium, which exceeded the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists(ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (Pb: $0.05\;mg/m^3$, Cr: $0.012\;mg/m^3$) and Korean Ministry of Labor's Standard. Geometric mean (GM) of airborne lead was highest in pigment ($0.0421\;mg/m^3$), paint ($0.0020\;mg/m^3$) and PVC coloring ($0.0007\;mg/m^3$), respectively(p<0.05). The result of airborne chromium concentration was paint ($0.0033\;mg/m^3$), paint ($0.0004\;mg/m^3$) and PVC coloring ($0.0003\;mg/m^3$). Also the lead and chromium concentration in the manual process is each 30 times and 10 times higher than the value in automatic process(p<0.01). In the classified process by detail, the concentration of airborne lead was $0.0638\;mg/m^3$ in grinding & packaging, mixture & after-measuring ($0.0436\;mg/m^3$), filtration & drying ($0.0402\;mg/m^3$), lead nitrate & dissolution($0.0129\;mg/m^3$), pigment commitment & mixture ($0.0013\;mg/m^3$) and dispersion & grinding ($0.0010\;mg/m^3$) (p<0.05). Moreover the concentration of a sample in weighting & packaging was $0.0023\;mg/m^3$. The concentration of lead in workers' blood was pigment (15.12 ug/dl), paint (4.74 ug/dl) and PVC coloring (2.50 ug/dl), and some samples have exceeded biological exposure limit. In conclusion, the depending on their work industry and process, workers have been exposed to the high lead chromate.

  • The trend of "Blockbuster Exhibitions" over the past decade has led to the unfortunate reality that museums, losing sight of their role as an Academic organization, are becoming increasingly influenced by the corporate world. In my dissertation entitled "The Commercialization of Blockbuster Exhibitions in Museums," I explore the modern tendency toward Blockbuster exhibitions in art museums and the negative impact of those exhibitions on the art world. Museums of the modern day have expanded their territory from the traditional venue of public education to the hybrid cultural space. This mission, evident in the museum's attempt to satisfy audiences with the offering of diverse activities, has changed the concept of the museum, giving priority to the desire for financial gain. From the viewpoint of this new museology, the museum considers Blockbuster exhibitions as the safest method to increase ticket sales. As a program that openly reveals the commercialism of the museum, I explore the Blockbuster show and its strategies as a means of exposing the influence of the corporate world on art. A key component to the Blockbuster exhibition is the "hype" that is created to attract an audience. This devotion to increased publicity distracts from what should be the goal of public education, as the primary focus leans towards the desire for a large number of visitors. Consequently, this unavoidably standardized exhibition is presented to the public in a manner that deprives the audience of a unique experience. With large crowds and increased ticket prices, it is difficult to form a genuine appreciation of the artwork. In addition to the profit gained by increased ticket prices and the commercial sales of "souvenirs" from the museum gift shop, Blockbuster shows are used as a means to attract the attention of corporate sponsors. As explained in my dissertation, the importance that the museum places on corporate sponsorship as a capital resource is evident, however the degree to which the museum allows itself to he influenced by the desire for capital gain poses a threat to its function as an academic organization. Circumstances in American museum history, in particular, have influenced the transition from academic resource to corporation within museology. In keeping with the nation's tendency towards capitalism, art museums in the United States were initially established and developed by individual capitalists who applied principals of corporate operation to museum management. As a result, in modern days, We witness the influence of enterprise on museum programs, while corporate management may be able to guarantee immediate fiscal benefits, however, it is unable insure the future of the museum. In Slim, my dissertation discusses the mechanism of the commercialized "Blockbuster Exhibition" and the impact that it has on the future of the museum as an industry. This research provides an opportunity to reconsider the role of the museum as an academic institution, particularly in regard to the need to decrease the capitalization of exhibitions and refocus their influence on the art world as an educational resource.

  • Purpose - In Chinese rose market, Korea competes against Latin American and African countries, but is not so competitive in terms of price and quality, implying the importance of using appropriate marketing strategies. This study aims to examine Chinese rose consumers' recognition and attributes of preference for roses produced in Korea, in order to use the result as baseline data for Korean rose exporters to China and provide implications that help establish a variety of marketing strategies targeting each region, income and age group. Research Design, Data and Methodology - 112 Chinese people were involved and interviewed in Chinese horticulture industry who had participated in 2016 Hortiflorexpo IPM Beijing. Online questionnaire survey was additionally conducted with 533 Chinese living in Korea and China. The Conjoint Analysis was conducted for region, age, and income group of respondents to estimate the relative importance of rose attributes evaluated by each population group and the utility derived from each attribute level. This process aimed to compare respective population groups for the relative importance and utility to derive implications for targeted marketing strategies. Results - The analysis finds that Chinese rose consumers prioritize rose color, followed by price, flowering stage, and flower size in purchasing roses. They prefer red roses most, followed by pink and then yellow. Moreover, they prefer larger roses, and relatively cheaper roses. The analysis reveals they prefer roses in their 20%-flowering stage to more than 40%-flowering stage. Conclusions - Establishing marketing strategies differentiated for each Chinese consumer group is critical in expanding Korean rose export. The analysis finds while Chinese consumers living in Beijing considered rose color and flowering stage more importantly than their counterparts in Shanghai, Chinese consumers living in Shanghai considered rose price and size more importantly than their counterparts living in Beijing. Therefore, establishing marketing strategies based on these attributes of preference in each region is necessary. Mid & low-income consumer groups considered price as the most important factor, and high-income consumer groups considered rose color as the most important one. It is, thus, important to focus on rose color when establishing a marketing strategy with targeting the high-income consumer group.

  • 과거 영화가 예술성을 함유하며 동시대의 문학, 종교, 철학 등을 담아냈던 것과 달리 최근엔 외형적으로 흥미로운 구성과 자극되는 장면위주로 제작되고 있다. 좋은 영화란 흥미로운 스토리 밑에서 스며 나오듯 감독의 주제 메시지가 감동적으로 표현되며 동시대의 사회 면모에 대한 감독의 날카로운 시선인 사회의제를 공감할 수 있어야 한다. 코엔형제들의 영화를 살펴보면 아이러니와 해프닝을 통한 전형적인 블랙 코미디 장르의 오락 영화인 것 같으나 실제로는 자국의 사회문제를 영화 곳곳에 수없이 많이 삽입하며 관조적 시점에서 냉소적으로 자신들의 사회의제를 훌륭히 표현해 내고 있음을 볼 수 있다. 그들의 영화 "위대한 레보스키(1998)"를 보면 주인공 캐릭터들의 천덕스런 모습을 통해 코믹한 내용을 창출해 내고 있는 것 같지만 실제로는 사회 부적응 자를 양산한 역사적 사실에 대한 사회의제를 블랙코미디로 희화화하는 등 베트남전, 포스트모더니즘, 우민화정책 등 미국 사회문제 들을 섭텍스트(sub-text)로 표현하고 있는 감독의 탁월한 연출임을 알 수 있다. 이와 같은 문화적 파급력을 가진 영화를 분석함으로 한국의 영화산업의 진일보에 일조하기를 기대한다.
