Recently, many nations said "yes" to human embryonic stem cell research, signing an executive order to permit funding for the research in the mame of achieving health and life of humankind. Human Embryo Research is permitted by our Bioethics & Biosafety Act. But, illegal research cannot be divorced from civil liability since it requires the destruction of eggs of fertilized eggs and personal rights of embryo-creator. After all, though we allow to do research embryo, we should control the capacity of abuse of embryo research for embryo-creator. If research violate the law(Bioethics & Biosafety Act or Civil Law, etc), it comes to a delict by pecuniary loss and non-pecuniary loss. When it comes to pecuniary loss, Human Embryo is not body but special property. Supreme Court maintained a stance that mental suffering is generally deemed as compensable for damages for the loss of property where a person's property right is invaded by a tort or non-performance of obligation. Thus, where mental suffering occurs, which cannot be compensated by recovery of property losses, the situation must be a special circumstance and the injured could claim consolation money for such losses only if the offender knew or would have known of such special circumstances(Supreme Court Decision 96Da31574 delivered on Nov, 26, 1996, etc.). That is to say, Supreme Court regards mental suffering through person's property right invaded by a tort as damages that have arisen through special circumstances. According to Civil law article 393 (2), the injured could claim consolation money for such losses only if only if the offender had foreseen or could have foreseen such circumstances. Also our court will solve through damages for non-pecuniary loss by complementary function of consolation money in that pecuniary loss could be difficult to valuate.

This study aims to find out success factors of crowdfunding on movie projects. For empirical analysis, we collected 583 data of the movie projects from the crowdfunding platform 'Tumblbug'.

The independent variable includes target amount, project information, reward options, creator funding power, editor recommendation, creator contents power, movie type, number of comments, number of replies, and number of SNS information. The final achievement rate of crowdfunding was set as dependent variable. This study found that the target amount, number of text information, number of video information, editor recommendation, number of backers' reply, and number of SNS information had a significant impact on the achievement rate of the movie crowdfunding project. This study has implications in that it has discovered a variable of editor recommendation and the number of SNS information, and both of them have a positive effect on crowdfunding achievement.

Although personal media have become a giant industry, there is a lack of understanding of personal media creators. Therefore, this study aims to clarify factors influencing personal media creators' choice of platform. According to the analysis, there is a significant difference between the factors considered by YouTube, AfreecaTV, and Twitch creators. Moreover, the moderating effect of creators' main genre and broadcasting type were also found to be partially significant. It was found that both creators who share the motive of vividness and communication as their main genre and creators who focus on recording and broadcasting with career development motivation prefer YouTube.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have the advantage of being able to reliably manage details after minting, but how can ideas be protected before being converted to NFTs? The use of NFTs to increase the value of digital assets is increasing, but the problem of creating and selling NFTs without the consent of the creator is also increasing. Existing methods for protecting creators include a method of using a traditional authentication system and a method of using a social network, but each has limitations. Therefore, in this study, an identity token utilization method is proposed as a way to supplement the existing limitations. When an identity token is used, a certified NFT is issued through an existing identity authentication authority, so the verification of the authenticity of the token becomes clear. In addition, in inheritance and transfer, it becomes possible to respond to legal problems related to the transfer of creative rights.

By analyzing the style of creator avatars in the world of Metaverse, which is emerging as a fourth-generation social media platform, this study aims to identify the meta-fashion tastes of Generation Z (Gen Z) creators (born in the late 2010s and early 2020s) and to analyze the extent to which current trends in the fashion market are influencing meta-fashion. The research method uses a case study to compare meta-fashion and current fashion trends. First, five Gen Z fashion creators on ZEPETO were selected to analyze the meta-fashion styles presented by this group. In the end, a total of 100 fashion styles were analyzed by combining 50 items each from the current meta-fashion and real fashion trends. The fashion styles were found to be hip-hop, easy-casual, punk, lovely feminine, and sexy, and the main fashion items were analyzed as jeans, hip-hop style pants, sneakers, tight crop tops, dresses, tattoos, chain accessories, and dyeing. Meta-fashion is the emergence of items similar in shape to those popular in the current fashion market, but are more exaggerated or show off the human body than actual fashion items.

A representative British designer, Vivienne Westwood's work. world from radical punk style to aristocratic historical dress is explored in context in terms of Englishness. National identity opens up into the process of mobilization of collective sentiment in the national context, unlike nationalism, and Englishness signifies the idea or emotion of England in contrast with Britishness, the political constructor influenced by geographical aspects. There is no doubt that Vivienne Westwood is central to ideas about creativity and originality in English design on subculture. However, in evaluating a designer and her work we should consider the entire context surrounding her from a broader view, rather than arguing only her own ingenuity. In this article, through reconsidering her originality in the historical reference as well as the resistant punk style in aspect of fluid national identity, I show a case of a constituted Englishness, forged by Vivienne Westwood as a cultural creator of national identity. Vivienne Westwood's case hints the complexities of national culture, which constantly shifts, translating her understandings of history and culture into fashion in her contemporary insight and glamorous ways.

디지털 기술의 발달로 콘텐츠 서비스 방식에 대한 융복합화 현상이 두드러진다. 플랫폼, 네트워크, 디바이스 등의 발달과 함께 이루어지는 서비스 방식의 다양화는 콘텐츠 제작 및 소비에 있어 사용자의 참여를 가속화시킨다. 최근 들어 동영상 콘텐츠에 양방향성의 특징을 반영하는 서비스가 주목받고 있으며, 이에 따라 양방향 동영상의 확장된 비즈니스 모델을 고려한 신규 서비스 운용 모델이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문은 전자상거래를 지원하기 위한 기본 비즈니스 모델인 Imprimatur Business Model을 기반으로 양방향성이 반영된 동영상 비즈니스 모델을 재정의하고 그 운용에 필요한 구성 요소를 도출하였다. 서비스 운용 모델은 생성, 처리, 소비의 단계를 갖는다. 각 단계별로 세부 운용 요소를 설계하여 운용 시스템과의 연결성을 고려하였다. 이는 XML 다이어그램으로 표현되었으며 디지털 아이템의 생성, 처리, 소비에 필요한 기능을 제어하고 처리할 수 있도록 하기 위해 각 단계별 생성자(creator)와 핸들러(handler)를 정의하였다.

The present study investigated the concept of Buddha in 9- 12- year-old children who were in the concrete operational stage. The concept of Buddha was investigated in the following dimensions:form, competence and role of Buddha, feelings toward Buddha, and prayer to Buddha. Questionaire data were gathered from 143 children attending the Bulkwang Sunday School Statistical analysis was by Chi square. The children perceived Buddha as (1) a statue or a monk living in their mind and in heaven; and (2) unrestricted and superhuman but different from the creator, keeping an eye on them all the time and everywhere. The role of Buddha was perceived as one of giving blessing with good things to those who pray. The children had diverse feelings of awe, thankfulness, fear and anger toward Buddha. Most of the children were confident that Buddha would respond to their prayers but a few showed some doubt. Children in the concrete operational stage were less credulous than those in the pre-operational stage. More than half of the childen reported that they experience the fulfilment of their prayers.
