Hyla japonica males were observed to produce two distinctively different types of mating calls: advertisement call to attract conspecific females and encounter call to keep off potential competitor males. Whereas advertisement calls were organized in bouts of calls or notes, encounter calls were usually produced as separate calls. Encounter calls were much longer and had more pulses per call than advertisement calls. However dominant frequencies or pitches of the two calls did not differ significantly. Hyla Japonica males exhibited considerable plasticity in their calling behavior. They altered both qualitative and quantitative properties of their calls in response to other calling males. Sometimes, they even switched from producing advertisement calls to encounter calls. Advertisement calls produced by chorusing males were shorter in duration and thus move calls per bout than those produced by lone males. Males also produced much lower-pitched calls when calling together with other males. Considering that low pitch calls are often Highly correlated with body size, it is possible that H. japonica males may try to generate deceptive calls to indicate the size greater than the actual.

The advertisement call of anurans functions to attract potential mates. The dominant frequency of an advertisement call is generally getting lower with increased snout-vent length (SVL) of the caller Rana rugosa has an advertisement call tilth a particularly high frequency modulation. We conducted a playback experiment to verify the function of frequency modulation, and investigated the territorial behavior of the frog. The frog has five types of territory defense strategy. Strategy choice depended on the caller's SVL. Small males became satellites or lowered the dominant frequency of their advertisement call, whereas large males actively defended their territory with encounter calls. In response to high frequency (1107 Hz) playback, the frogs lowered their advertisement call frequency, and towered them further in response to the low frequency (1028 Hz) playback. In addition, the number of pulses in a call was increased in response to the playback. These results indicate that the frog avoids physical conflict with competitors by selecting a territory defense strategy suitable for the caller's size, and by lowering its call frequency to disguise its SVL.

Since the 1970s, international construction employers have commonly requested first demand guarantees upon their contractors as a form of security for due performance of their works. Contractors prefer the greater protection offered by more traditional forms of security requiring presentation of an arbitral award or other evidence of the caller's entitlement to compensation. Many contractors nonetheless feel that they have no alternative but to provide these unconditional guarantees in order to compete. However, these unconditional first demand guarantees are controversial and have given rise to numerous disputes both in arbitration and litigation. Disputes arising from first demand guarantees can be broken down into a) applications to prevent a perceived fraudulent or otherwise unfair or improper calling of a guarantee, b) claims arising from such abusive calls and c) claims relating to the consequences of such calls even if the call itself may not be abusive as such. The contractors should carefully assess the risk of an abusive call being made bearing in mind the difficulties he may face in seeking to prevent such a call. He should also bear in mind the difficulties, delays and cost he is likely to encounter in seeking to recover any monies wrongfully called. One option would be to provide that the call can only be made once and to the extent that the employer's damages have been assessed or even incurred or even for the default to have been established by an arbitral tribunal or court. Another option would be to provide that any call be accompanied by a decision of a competent and impartial third party stating that the contractor is in breach. For example, such a requirement could be incorporated into a construction contract based on the FIDIC Conditions by submitting this decision to a Dispute Adjudication Board. Another option would be to provide for the "ICC Counter-Guarantee Scheme". In sum, there would appear to be room for compromise between the employer and the contractor in respect of first demand guarantees by conditioning the entitlement to call such guarantees to the determination of a competent and impartial third party.

While many services appear, it are performed in the various researches about a service. Among them, as to the basic reason for measuring the service level, in order to find out the strategy improving service quality. But the method for measuring quality of services up to date was unable to make it enough the role. This research tried to propose the approach systematically analyzing the human errors in order to improve service quality about the call center which utilizes the information technology. In fact, the human errors was found in the customer contact point in which the actual service is delivered. An interaction between the element for comprising call service was classified into 3 while defining the human error as 3 group. Moreover, the process where a service is delivered was classified according to 5 step and the generated error was measured in each step. The implication of this research looks at the service failure and dissatisfaction as the occurrence of the human errors and illustrates the service quality improvement as a correction or a reduction. This approach is used that service is materially easily understood and is formulated with the quality improvement strategy.

기독교 영성교육에 대한 관심은 날이 갈수록 증가되는 추세에 있지만, 한국교회 현장의 영성교육은 개신교 전통에 따른 선명한 교육목적의 제시가 없는 가운데 교육내용과 방법이 파편화되어 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 엄밀한 학문적 방법에 의거하여 개신교 영성교육의 목적을 정립하고 그것에 맞는 교육의 내용과 방법을 찾아내는 연구가 필요하다. 이 필요성에 따라 수행된 본 연구는 개신교 영성의 핵심정신을 찾아 교육목적으로 삼고 그 목적을 구현할 수 있는 개신교 교유의 영성교육 내용을 찾아 그것을 오랜 역사를 가진 그리스도교 영성수련들과 유기적으로 통합한 하나의 창의적 영성교육 모형을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 먼저 교육목적의 설정을 위해서 개신교 대표지도자 루터(Luther), 칼빈(Calvin), 그리고 웨슬리(Wesley)의 '믿음의 삶'에 대한 가르침을 고찰하였다. 그 가르침 안에서 '개신교 영성'의 핵심정신으로서 '자유케 됨'(liberated-ness)의 정신을 발견하여 교육목적으로 삼고, 로마가톨릭교회의 '은혜' 개념과는 다른 개신교 특유의 '은혜의 방편' 전통을 발견해 내어 '자유케 됨'을 구현하는 교육내용으로 삼았다. 그리고 '자유케 됨'이 이루어지는 기전을 다음의 세 개의 창의적 개념으로 설명한다. 신자의 '자유케 됨'은 하나님에게서 나오는 '자유케 하는 의지'(liberating will)로 시작되며, 신자는 '자기를 드리는 의지'(self-giving will)로 이에 응답하게 되는데, 이 두 의지가 만나는 접촉점이 '믿음의 생명막'(the living membrane of faith)이다. 이 기전을 기초로 삼아 구성된 '자유케 됨의 실천' 영성교육 모형의 교육목적은 학습자가 삶 가운데 하나님과의 인격적 '만남'을 가지며 점점 더 '자유케 됨'을 누리는 가운데 더 충성스럽게 이웃을 자유케 하는 사람이 되어가는 것이다. 학습자와 교사의 관계는 쉐릴(Sherrill)의 인격적 '만남'의 관계이며 김현숙의 '공유적 권위'를 갖는 관계이다. 교육내용은 쉐릴의 '만남'의 성경묵상과 다익스트라(Dykstra)의 '실천들', 그리고 개신교 '은혜의 방편'의 다섯 영역과 연계된 그리스도교의 영성수련 다섯 가지를 채택하여 그것을 개신교의 '자유케 됨'의 원리로 변형한 것이다. 이 영성수련들의 새로운 명칭은 '만남의 렉시오 디비나,' '주님향함기도,' '서로-영적방향잡기,' '자유마중섬김,' 그리고 '자유성찰기도'이다. 교수-학습과정은 다익스트라가 학습자 중심의 실천을 돕는 데 사용한 코칭과 멘토링의 과정이다. 교육환경은 무어(Moore)의 '성례전적 공동체'를 지향하는 인적 환경에 중점을 두며, 평가는 학습자 스스로 평가하는 것을 기본으로 한다. 본 교육모형은 그리스도교 역사 안의 주요 영성수련 내용들을 명시적으로 개신교의 '자유케 됨'의 영성으로 변형하여 교육하는 길을 제시함으로써 초대교회 때부터 이어지는 그리스도교 영성수련의 맥을 개신교 교회에서 창조적으로 계승하여 나갈 수 있게 해 준다는 의의를 갖는다.

본 연구는 에마뉘엘 레비나스(Emmanuel Levinas)의 철학 이론을 원용하여 최인호의 장편소설에 나타난 동아시아 사상을 탐구한 것이다. 레비나스는 타자와의 만남을 통해 형성되는 주체의 문제를 다룬 철학자이다. 연구자는 동아시아 사상이 근본적으로 타자와의 관계를 중시한다는 점에 착안하여 레비나스의 책임윤리 이론을 원용하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 최인호의 "상도"에는 '타자의 사유'를 통한 주체와 타자의 진정한 관계를 보여주었다. 인간관계는 상선약수(上善若水)와 같은 것으로, 주체가 낮은 자세로 행할 때, 내 안에 '타자가 들어설 자리'가 생긴다는 것을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 최인호의 "유림"에는 타자를 섬기는 경(敬)사상을 통해 조선 성리학의 진수를 보여주었다. 이는 레비나스가 말한 '타인에 대한 책임의식'과 비슷하였다. 셋째, 최인호의 "길 없는 길"에는 한국 선불교의 핵심인 '진속불이(眞俗不二)'가 드러났다. 나라를 잃어버린 시대에 타자인 민중의 부름에 응답하였던 경허는, 레비나스가 말한 '내 안에 있는 타자'를 발견한 인간이라 할 수 있다. 결론적으로 최인호의 장편소설에 나타난 상선약수(上善若水), 경(敬), 무애(無碍)와 같은 사상은 레비나스의 책임 윤리와 맞닿아 있는 것으로 동아시아의 윤리를 잘 보여주었다고 하겠다.

Many States such as Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, California, New Mexico, Florida were obtained either from Spanish Empire or from Mexico. In 1848 due to the Guadalupe-Hidalgo treaty America could obtain half of the original territory of Mexico. American identity cannot be understood without the history of American expansionism further consolidated by the Spanish-American War in 1898, which brought other ex-Spanish colonies such as Guam, Puerto Rico, the Philippines to the US. The US's interest in these territories dates back to the Monroe doctrine in 1823 when Monroe "declared the Americas off-limits to any new European colonization." America justifies their expansion based on the notion of Manifest Destiny which was created by O'Sullivan at the hight of American fever to annex Texas to US. The intent of this paper is to study how Anglo-Saxon and Latin Culture clashed against each other especially right before and after the Spanish-American War. In this study the American hero, Theodore Roosevelt and Latin American hero, $Jos{\acute{e}}$ Martí will be compared, though they did not meet each other during the Spanish-American war due to Marti's early death in 1895 at the battle for the Cuba Libre. Their comparison is significant in that the former represents the American expansionist spirit and the latter the spirit of Anti-imperialism and Anti-Anglocentrism. Along with the concept of Manifest Destiny of America, 'American exceptionalism' is also mentioned which motivates U.S. to expand further even after the Spanish-American war in the form of 'informal imperialism' characterized by 'gunboat politics'of the US. These discussions will draw attention to how recent theorists such as Bryce Traister criticizes the Border Theory represented by $Jos{\acute{e}}$ David Saldívar. Here the Border Theory is criticized to repeat the discourse of the globalized capitalism which prefers the weak state and the transnational aspects by focusing on the in-betweenness of the border. In the end the paper will focus on how the Border theory as represented by Saldivar is political enough and sets up a resistant example against American expansionism of today in its focus on the call for pan-American and pluri-versal subjectivity of the borderlands. This point will be supported by a discussion of how Saldivar's view is confirmed by Walter Mignolo who advocates the "bottom up" resistance of the indigenous people of Chiapas and other social forums such as World Social Forum and the Social Forum of the Americas derived from the Zapatistas' movement whose motto is "A World in which many world co-exist."
