  • The present paper hopes to elucidate the problem of determining if a given I-shaped cross-section is properly proportioned to accommodate sufficient plastic hinge rotation capacity to facilitate the redistribution of moments in a structural system as needed to accommodate the formation of a collapse mechanism. It might be tempting to believe that application of the limiting flange plate slenderness value for the case of major axis flexure are applicable in this case; since the pervasive belief is that this approach ought to be conservative. However, the present research study indicates that this is not the case and thus more sophisticated analysis techniques are required to better understand this case.

  • Most of us spend the greater part of our lives in the kitchen, but of all the man environments it maybe the least well-explored share commitment to a cleaner and healthier environment. It has long been kitchen system belief that the environment is a precious gift. In case of built in kitchen system, because it depend upon the earth's resources to design and manufacture steel hardware products, human beings feel an abiding responsibility to act wisely in the environmental choices we make, large and small, every day. Built in kitchen system, designed and coordinated by study of designer, represents an open, complete, free and 'focused' way of conceiving, furnishing and organizing one's own kitchen. A space rich in technical values and home warmth, where few, simple and carefully designed components distinguish and characterize the various work spaces, from the area, intended for preparing and washing food, to the cooking area, and to a wide range of multivalent pieces of furniture, wood paneled wall units and shelves.

  • Objectives: This study is to examine that drinking problems among university students were accounted for not only by student's individual characteristics but alcohol policy and environmental characteristics of the university in which students were enrolled. Method: Secondary data analysis was employed in which variables under study were derived from a raw data of a nationwide representative sample in 2009. Raw data under analysis included 3,665 students from 63 universities across Korea. Organizational and environmental characteristics of the university were collected from university administrators while individual characteristics and drinking behavior from the students in using self-administrated questionnaire. Multilevel regression analyses were employed to describe alcohol policy effects on students's drinking problems measured by AUDIT by using HLM7.0. Results: ICCs indicate that variation in drinking problem depends on alcohol policy of university. Multilevel regression models identified statistically significant factors in explaining variance of drinking problems. Group means on drinking problem are affected by indicators representing alcohol policy with level of drinking problem of student being decreased in accordance to level of availability of alcohol on campus. Conclusions: It is concluded that drinking problems among university students were associated with both individual characteristics and alcohol policy of the university they enrolled. This study supports policy belief that interventions at environmental as well as individual level are required to prevent drinking problem among university students.

  • Since the industrialization of swine production in the late 1900s, swine farms in the United States, as well as in Europe, have largely become consolidated. Pig farms became larger in size but fewer in number, with 91% of market pigs being produced by large operations with 5,000 or more pigs on-site in the US, and only 3% of the total utilized agricultural land representing organic farming. Such change in the market made it difficult for small farmers to stay competitive, forcing them to find alternative ways to reduce the cost of production and increase profit using the outdoor production system. In contrast to the indoor confinement system, outdoor production system uses pasture-based units and/or deep-bedded hoop structures that promote animal welfare and environmental sustainability with a lower capital investment. In accord with the growing concern for animal and environmental welfare and food safety by the consumers, small farmers practicing an outdoor production system are seeing increased opportunities for marketing their products in the pork niche market. Unlike the general belief that the reproductive and growth performance measures of the outdoor sows and piglets are poorer in comparison with the animals reared indoors, studies showed that there was no significant difference in the performance measures, and some traits were even better in outdoor animals. Improved reproductive and production traits can increase the sustainability of outdoor farming. Present study reviewed the recent studies comparing the performance measures, meat quality and health of indoor and outdoor animals, as well as the efforts to improve the outdoor production system through changes in management such as hut types and breed of animals.

  • 본연구는 일본 국립공원제도의 역사를 정책과 행정적측면을 중심으로 재평가 하였다. 일반적 인식과는 달리 일본의 국립공원제도는 보호와 개발을 적적히 조화시케는데 성공적이지 못하였고 이의 근본적 원인은 다음과 같이 요약된다. 일본의 국립공원제도는 크게 경제적 근거로 수립되어 전개되어 왔고 특히 경제캐발정책의 지배적 영향에 의해 좌우되어 왔으며 보호와 개발에 관한 정부 부터간의 정책적 및 행정적 조정이 수행되지 못하였다. 또한 국립공원 정책과 행정에 관한 의하결정의 폐쇠성은 주민참여와 환경단체의 영향력을 곡도로 제한하였고 국립공원의 대중적 인식도 유일한 국가유산보다는 오히려 유명관광지로 상징되어 엄격한 보호를 위한 대중적 지지력도 상당히 결여 되어왔다. 따라서, 관광개발 이득의 주된목적은 보호의 환경적 가치와 목적에 우선해 왔고 이는 오늘날까지 큰 변화없이 지속되고 있다. 이러한 일본의 실패경험과 교훈은 근본적인 평가없이 일본의 모델을 기본적으로 그대로 수용해 온 우리나라의 국립공원제도에 시사하는 바가 매우 크다. 우리의 영원한 국가적 환경유산을 구하기 위해서는 국립공원제도의 고감하고도 근본적인 개혁이 시급히 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

  • The general aspects for the future warfare shows that the concept of firepower and maneuver centric warfare has been replacing with that of information and knowledge centric warfare. Thus, some developed countries are now trying to establish the information systems to perform intelligent warfare and innovate defense operations. The C4I(Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence for the Warrior) systems make it possible to do modern and systematic war operations. The basic idea of this study is to investigate how TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) can explain the acceptance behavior in military organizations. Because TAM is inadequate in explaining the acceptance processes forcomplex technologies and strict organizations, a revised research model based upon TAM was developed in order to assess the usage of the C4I system. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting the usage of C4I in the Korean Army. The research model, based upon TAM, was extended through a belief construct such as self-efficacy as one of mediating variables. The self-efficacy has been used as a mediating variable for technology acceptance, and the variable was included in the research model. The external variables were selected on the basis of previous research. The external variables can be classified into following: 1) technological, 2) organizational, and 3) environmental factors on the basis of TOE(Technology-Organization-Environment) framework. The technological factor includes the information quality and the task-technology fitness. The organizational factor includes the influence of senior colleagues. The environmental factor includes the education/train data. The external variables are considered very important for explaining the behavior patterns of information technology or systems. A structured questionnaire was developed and administrated to those who were using the C4I system. Total 329 data were used for statistical data analyses. A confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation model were used as main statistical methods. Model fitness Indexes for measurement and structured models were verified before all 18 hypotheses were tested. This study shows that the perceived usefulness and the self-efficacy played their roles more than the perceived ease of use did in TAM. In military organizations, the perceived usefulness showed its mediating effects between external variables and dependent variable, but the perceived ease of use did not. These results imply that the perceived usefulness can explain the acceptance processes better than the perceived ease of use in the army. The self-efficacy was also used as one of the three mediating variables, and showed its mediating effects in explaining the acceptance processes. Such results also show that the self-efficacy can be selected as one possible belief construct in TAM. The perceived usefulness was influenced by such factors as senior colleagues, the information quality, and the task-technology fitness. The self-efficacy was affected by education/train and task-technology fitness. The actual usage of C4I was influenced not by the perceived ease of use but by the perceived usefulness and selfefficacy. This study suggests the followings: (1) An extended TAM can be applied to such strict organizations as the army; (2) Three mediation variables are included in the research model and tested at real situations; and (3) Several other implications are discussed.

  • 비판적 의식 척도(CCS: Critical Consciousness Scale)는 Diemer와 동료들(2017)이 개발한 척도로서 억압받거나 소외된 사람들이 자신의 사회적 정치적 조건을 비판적으로 분석하고 사회적 평등을 지지하며 인지된 불평등을 변화시키는 행동의 정도를 확인한다. 본 연구에서는 한국어로 번안한 비판적 의식 척도를 현지화하여 대학생을 대상으로 타당화 하였다. 심리학 관련 석사 및 박사 5명에게 번안 문항의 적합성을 평정하도록 하여 내용타당도를 검증하였다. 이후 전국 대학생 314명을 대상으로 비판적 의식 척도, 기회불평등인식 척도, 환경 변화 필요인식 척도, 사회 참여 척도, 공정한 세상에 대한 신념 척도를 설문조사하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하였다. 타당도 검증을 위해 탐색적 요인분석을 하여 3개의 하위 요인을 확정하였고 확인적 요인분석을 실시하여 원안의 22개 문항 중 14개 문항을 추출하였다. 이렇게 요인분석을 마친 14개 문항의 구인타당도와 신뢰도는 양호하였다. 또한 비판적 의식 척도와 유사척도의 상관관계 분석에서도 비판적 의식은 유사 척도와 상관관계가 명확히 나타났다. 비판적 의식은 기회불평등인식 척도, 환경 변화 필요 인식 척도, 사회참여 척도와는 정적인 상관관계를 보였고 공정한 세상에 대한 신념 척도와는 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 비판적 의식 척도는 타당도가 유의한 것으로 판단하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 한계점과 의의를 논하였다.

  • 이 글은 환경논쟁에서 과학기술이 종종 중요한 구실을 하고 있지만 쟁점을 과학적 합리성의 문제로 틀 지움으로써 환경문제가 지닌 사회적, 문화적, 정치적 함의를 놓치게 할 수 있음을 새만금 간척사업을 사례로 논의하였다. 정부가 새만금 사업 재개를 결정하는데 분수령이 된 새만금 환경영향 민관공동조사단의 구성은 환경단체가 정부와 동등한 위치에서 사업을 재검토할 수 있는 기회를 제공했으나 이에 못지 않게 환경논쟁을 좁은 과학논쟁으로 한정시키는 데 기여했다. 논쟁의 양쪽 당사자가 전략적으로 비중을 둔 새만금 담수호의 장래 수질오염 논쟁은 불확실하고 가치와 관련된 갯벌보전 논란을 구체적이고 객관적으로 검증이 가능한 수질문제로 환원시켰다. 나아가 이런 논쟁의 성격변화는 수질관련 데이터와 정책을 생산하는 정부에게 유리한 조건을 제공했다. 민관공동조사단 활동 이후의 정부부처 협의과정은 수질 예측 모델링을 통해 미래의 수질을 더욱 정확하게 예측하려는 환경예측과학의 사회적 구성과정이기도 했지만, 기본적으로 정부의 정치적인 논리가 과학적인 예측을 좌우한 것으로 보인다. 결국 민관공동조사단 방식의 환경갈등 해결책은 환경운동단체의 의도와는 달리 논쟁의 폭을 좁히고 지역주민보다는 과학기술 전문가를 논쟁의 주요 당사자로 만듦으로써 운동의 제도화를 초래했다. 정부가 새만금 사업의 재개를 결정한 뒤 환경운동 내부에 성찰성과 현장성, 헌신성을 강조하는 삼보일배 등 생명평화운동이 대두한 배경에는 이처럼 환경단체가 과학적 합리성을 무비판적으로 받아들였기 때문으로 추정된다.

  • 현대사회는 흔히 '위험사회'로 개념화되며, 이러한 위험들 가운데 특히 환경적 위험은 심각하게 만연되어 있다고 하겠다. 환경적 위험을 안고 있는 환경위기는 전통적 사회에서 볼 수 있는 자연재해와는 달리, 그 발생 및 대응과정이 기술적 통제와 관련된다는 점에서 기술적 재해라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 환경위기는 정부와 시민사회의 대응의 한계로 인해 재발되는 경향이 있다. 이러한 점에서 환경적 위기의 발생과 그 대응과정은 현대 사회체제 속에 이미 내재되어 있으며, 특히 자본주의적 시장경제와 관련된 이윤 추구 및 비용절감, 관료주의적 대의정치와 관련된 권력집중화와 책임회피, 도구주의적 과학기술로 인한 과학적 지식에 대한 맹신과 불확실성, 그리고 개인주의적 생활양식과 관련된 배타적 대응과 수동성 등으로 특징지워 진다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 1991년 대구에서 발생한 페놀오염사고와 1998년 시드니에서 발생했던 물오염 위기를 사례로, 이러한 현대 사회의 4가지 기본 요인들에 의한 환경위기의 발생과 그 대응 과정에 관하여 고찰하고 있다.

  • Food adulteration and food fraud should not be neglected. The present study aimed to investigate the awareness of adulterated food and its management beliefs and capabilities among teenagers' parents. Data were collected from 425 adolescents' parents having different levels of income and education. The results of factor analysis indicated that adulterated food management beliefs was classified into attitude, necessity, and anxiety. The adulterated food management capability was sub-grouped into hygiene and nutrition, knowledge, citizen action and environmental grasp. The adulterated food management capabilities were significantly different according child's school, education level and monthly income (p<0.05). The attitude factor of adulterated food management beliefs appeared to have a significant (p<0.05) impact on all factors of adulterated food management capabilities, however the necessity factor had a significant (p<0.001) impact only on factor of hygiene and nutrition. The results of the present study suggested that parents need to be aware themselves as well as to teach their children about right food selection and consumption. The findings of the study might be useful in government policy planning regarding the public health issues and dietary education of adolescents and parents.
