  • 본고는 고소설에 표출된 영웅의 시대별, 남녀별 차이에 드러나는 영웅의 유형화와 소설의 개별적 양상과 그 역사적 의미에 대하여 고찰해 보았다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 본고에서는 <최고운전>, <전우치전>, <전관산전>, <일념홍>, <여영웅>을 텍스트로 선정하였다. 그리고 이들의 주인공들을 '문화영웅-최치원, 민중영웅-전우치, 내조(가정) 영웅-정소저, 친일 개화 영웅-일념홍 이형경'으로 유형화하였다. 또 이 영웅의 유형이 갖는 역사적 의미를 서술하여 본고의 목적을 이루려고 노력하였다. 중국과 조선은 국경을 맞대고 있기에 서로의 관계가 불편했다. 이러한 문제와 관련된 것이 바로 <최고운전>의 최치원이다. 최치원은 신라의 대문장가였기에 중국 문사와 한 수 우위의 시문수창을 할 수 있었다. 조선이 중국보다 문화가 우수하다는 자부심을 표현하기 위해 문화영웅 최치원이 필요했다. 조선은 반상제도가 뚜렷한 유교사회였다. 그렇다보니 모든 중심은 양반에 치우쳐 있어서 민중들은 양반에 의해 핍박을 받았는데 이 때 민중의 영웅이 필요했다. 그가 바로 <전우치전>의 전우치다. 전우치는 도술을 통해 민중들의 원한과 바람을 해결해 주는 진정한 민중영웅이라 할 수 있다. 조선 후기로 가면서 전란을 체험한 여성들이 남성을 대하는 태도가 달라진다. 그렇다 보니 <강도몽유록>이나 <박씨전>, 그리고 <이학사전>과 같은 여성영웅소설이 등장한다. 무능한 남성들로 인해 울분에 찬 여성들에게 당시 작가는 작품에서나마 희망을 주었다고 생각한다. <전관산전>의 정소저는 고소설에 충실한 여성주인공보다는 진취적이지만 남편을 위한 내조를 담당하는 가정영웅이다. 조선은 청일전쟁과 러일전쟁을 거치며 일본의 마수에 걸려든다. 이후 일본은 을사늑약을 강조로 맺은 뒤 통감부 정치를 실시한다. 이 때 친일을 부각하고자 친일신문을 발간하고 친일 소설을 연재한다. 바로 <일념홍>과 <여영웅>인데 친일개화 영웅이다.

  • 유학 특히 주자 성리학의 예(禮)는 절대적 보편적 이치로서 천이(天理)와 상대적 관계적 규범 형식으로서 절문(節文)과 의칙(儀則)으로 개념 규정된다. 예의 본질은 이렇게 두 가지 의미로 구분되는데, 절대성과 상대성이 중층적으로 혼합되어 있지만 단순한 양가성(兩價性)으로 해석되어서는 곤란하다. 예가 발현되는 과정에는 천리(天理)와 인성(人性)이라는 본질 외에 시간(時間)과 공간(空間)이라는 일상성(日常性)이 매개되기 때문이다. 따라서 양자가 서로 조화를 이루었을 때 예(禮)의 현실적 효용이 극대화될 수 있다. 물론 예(禮)는 구분의 원리이고, 악(樂)은 조화의 기능을 수행하여 상호보완적 역할을 하는 측면도 없지 않다. 그러나 예의 본질은 신분, 계급, 귀천 등 현실적 차이 속에서도 쌍무호혜적(雙務互惠的) 성격을 특징으로 한다. 유학은 일반인은 물론 최고 통치자에게도 엄격한 도덕성과 윤리를 요구하며 이를 상실한 인군(人君)은 일개 필부(匹夫)에 불과한 것으로 간주한다. 예를 제정하는 주체가 통치자가 아니라 성인(聖人)인 것도 동일한 맥락에서이다. 예의 현실적 효용은 '예교(禮敎)'를 실현하는 것이다. 예교는 예의 본질과 일상성이 발현되는 개인적 사회적 정치적 기제이다. 구득된 인간 본성의 발현, 주체와 타자의 소통을 매개하는 문화의 형성, 윤리 도덕적 규범에 기초한 정치행위 등이 활발한 사회가 예교가 지향하는 유교적 공동체의 본모습이다. 유교적 공동체의 원리로서 예교의 특징을 민본성(民本性)과 시의성(時宜性)을 중심으로 고찰한 이유는 예의 본질이 구현되는 일상성(日常性)의 측면에 착안한 것이다. 이는 유교가 지닌 본원적 특질인 동시에 천리(天理)와 인성(人性) 자체에 대한 원리적 탐구에 머물지 않고 인정(人情)과 시속(時俗)이라는 현실을 실천의 장으로 고민하는 실학적(實學的) 성격인 것이다. 16, 7세기를 거치며 조선사회에서는 예의 일상화(日常化)가 본격적으로 진행되는데, 세종조 이후 삼강행실도(三綱行實圖)가 지속적으로 보급되어 도덕수신서(道德修身書)로 활용되었고 도덕성과 호혜성에 기반한 향촌자치규약인 향약(鄕約)이 보급 시행되었다. 율곡 이이는 중국의 여씨향약(呂氏鄕約)을 전범으로 하여 해주향약(海州鄕約)을 완성하였는데, 예교의 본질을 일상에서 실현하고자 하는 실학적 특성으로 평가할 수 있다.

  • 본고는 조귀명의 정관(靜觀)의 관찰방법과 골계의 문장 수사법을 살펴보았다. 그는 정관(靜觀)의 관찰방법을 통해 세상을 다르게 보려 했고, 골계(滑稽)의 문체 수법을 통해 세상과의 관계를 표현하였다. 정관(靜觀)은 주체와 대상을 새롭게 보는 방법이다. 주체의 감각과 사고를 신뢰하고 자신의 독자적 관점에서 천하의 사정과 이치를 분명하게 밝히는 것이었다. 이 경우 당대의 보편적 사고와 충돌하는 지점이 생긴다. 그는 보편적 사고와 독자적 관점의 충돌을 골계(滑稽)의 형식으로도 표현했다. 그는 사유와 행동 기준을 '기미(氣味)'와 '적의(適意)'에 두었다. 이는 세 가지 의미를 지닌다. 첫째 자신의 사유와 행동이 성인의 것과 다르지 않다는 자부심이다. 둘째, 자신은 타인과 구별되는 감성과 사고를 가진 독립적 존재라는 것이다. 셋째, 이에 근거하여 자신의 문학 작품은 독자적 가치를 지닌다는 것이다. 이러한 사유와 행동은 정관(靜觀)의 관찰 방법을 통해 구체화 되었다. 그가 정관(靜觀)의 3단계 과정을 통해 얻은 것은 '호연(浩然)한 마음'이다. 첫 번째 단계는 자기 성찰이다. 그 목적은 '호연(浩然)한 마음'으로 '물래순응(物來順應)'의 경지에 도달하는 것이다. 관찰 기준은 승제(乘除)의 이치이다. 두 번째 대상은 '물지정상(物之情狀)'이다. 그 관찰 대상은 쇠똥구리가 똥덩어리를 굴리는 모습까지 넓어진다. 세 번째 관찰대상은 조화자이다. 조화자의 움직임에 동참하는 것이다. 따라서 자신의 사유와 행동, 문학 작품은 조화자의 움직임과 대등한 의미를 지닌다고 본다. 그는 서술 방법이 자득한 내용에 따라 변화할 수 있다고 하였다. 문장 표현을 조탁하든, 질박하게 하든, 검담하게 하든, 농염하고 화려하게 하든 상황에 맞게 하면 된다는 것이다. 대표적 예로 <성보형화상찬(成甫兄畵像贊)>을 분석하였다. 그는 박문수에 대한 당대의 일반적 평가와 달리 '병든 학'과 '새장 속에 갇힌 학'으로 비유를 하였다. 사적 공간에서 골계를 좋아하는 박문수의 습관과 초상화의 외형적 특징을 연계하여 그의 공적 이미지를 파괴한 것이다. 이를 통해 박문수가 자연 속에 사는 학의 본성을 가지고 있지만, 관료 생활에서 벗어나지 못하는 처세를 웃음을 유도하며 폭로 혹은 비판하고 있다. 이러한 골계의 수사법은 조귀명 산문이 가지는 대표적 특징 중 하나이다. 추후 논문에서 <왜려설(倭驢說)>, <장공예백인설(張公藝百忍說)>, <기몽(記夢)>, <홍앵무부(紅鶯鵡賦)> 등을 골계의 측면에서 구체적으로 살펴보고자 한다.

  • 형사사건에서 고의성 판단은 사건 가해자에게 적용되는 혐의의 유·무죄 판단은 물론 처벌의 크기를 판단하는 근간이 되는 사실인정의 핵심적인 영역이다. 그러나 고의성이라는 개념은 행위자의 주관적 측면, 즉 그 행위자의 심리적 측면을 반영하고 있기 때문에 제 삼자가 이를 판단하는 것이 매우 어렵다. 따라서 고의성이 어떻게 판단되어지는가에 대한 물음은 형사사법체계는 물론 학계 내에서도 매우 중요한 문제로 다뤄지고 있다. 기존의 대표적 고의성 판단 모델들 중, '심적-상태 모델'은 행위 당시 행위자의 '예견가능성(믿음)' 및 '욕망' 요인이 고의성을 판단하는 중요한 요인이라고 주장한다. 이는 한국과 영미의 형법에서 고의성 판단 요소로 '지(知)적 요소' 및 '의(意)적 요소'를 중요하게 고려하고 있는 것과 상통하는 것이다. 그러나 '도덕적-평가 모델'에서는 행위의 결과적 측면을 반영한 요인들, 즉 그러한 결과를 발생시킨 '행위자에 대한 비난가능성' 및 '결과의 나쁨 정도' 요인이 고의성 판단을 하는데 중요한 요인으로 작용한다고 주장한다. 최근에는 행위자의 행위 당시 심적-상태 요인이나 행위의 결과적 측면에 대한 도덕적-평가 요인보다 행위자의 '핵심-자기' 요인이 고의성을 판단하는 데 보다 중요한 역할을 한다고 주장하는 '핵심-자기 일치 모델'이 등장했다. 그러나 이러한 모델들은 형사사건의 중요한 특징들, 즉, 사건의 결과는 항상 부정적일 수밖에 없다는 것과 그렇기 때문에 법적 처벌의 당사자인 행위자가 행위 당시 자신의 심적 상태를 진실하게 표명하는 일은 거의 없다는 것을 고려하지 못했다는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 고의성 판단 연구들과 형사사건의 특징들을 종합적으로 고려했을 때, 형사사건에서는 그 행위자가 본래 어떤 사람이었는가에 대한 추론이 고의성을 판단하는 데 가장 중요한 역할을 할 것이라는, 이른바 '도덕적-특성 모델'을 제안한다. 나아가 이와 관련하여 언론 및 형사사법기관에서 유념해야할 점과 추후 연구 방향에 대해 논하였다.

  • While the role of emotional antecedents of effective selling behavior would be important, the issue has not been fully addressed in the sales literature. To fill this gap, we conceptualize and empirically examine the relationships among salesperson's emotional regulation processes such as emotional intelligence (EI) and emotional labor (EL), effective selling behavior, and sales performance on the basis of educational, occupational, social psychology literature and marketing literature (e.g., Henning-Thurau, Groth, Paul, and Gremler 2006; Kidwell et al. 2011; Liu et al. 2008; Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso 2008). First, salesperson's EI is defined as his or her capability that enables correct perceptions about emotional situations in sales interactions. The EI is expected to work as psychological resources for different types of EL (i.e., deep acting and surface acting) to be performed by salesperson as emotional expression strategies (e.g., Lie et al. 2008). It is, then, expected that the features of EL selected by the salesperson would lead to different levels of adaptive selling behavior (ASB) and thereby sales performance (Monaghan 2006). Further, given that salesperson's customer orientation (CO) is found to be an important correlate of ASB (Franke and Park 2006), it is expected that CO would moderate the relationship between EL and ASB (Rozell, Pettijohn, and Parker 2004). Hence, this research attempts to shed additional light on emotionally-driven (EL) as well as cognitively-driven (CO) antecedents of ASB (Frank and Park 2006). The findings of the survey research, done with 336 salespersons in insurance and financial companies, are summarized as follows. First, salespersons with a high level of EI are found to use both deep acting (regulating the emotions themselves) and surface acting (controlling only emotional expressions) in a versatile way, when implementing EL. Second, the more the salesperson performs deep acting, the more he or she shows ASB. It is, then, important for salespersons to use deep acting more frequently in the EL process in order to enhance the quality of interacting with customers through ASB. On the other hand, the salesperson's surface acting did not have a significant relationship with ASB. Moreover, CO was found to moderate the relationship between the salesperson's deep acting and ASB. That is, the context of high CO culture and individual salesperson's deep acting would synergistically make the selling efforts adaptive to customer preferences. Conceptualizing and empirically verifying the antecedent roles of important emotional constructs such as EI and EL in salesperson's effective selling behavior (ASB) and sales performance is a major theoretical contribution in the sales literature. Managerially, this research provides a deeper understanding on the nature of tasks performed by salespersons in service industries and a few guidelines for managing the sales force. First, sales organizations had better consciously assess EI capacity in the selection and nurturing processes of salespersons, given that EI can efficiently drive EL and the resulting effective selling behavior and performance. Further, the concept of EL could provide a framework to understand the salespersons' emotional experiences in depth. Especially, sales organizations may well think over how to develop deep acting capabilities of their sales representatives. In this direction, the training on deep acting strategies would be an essential task for improving effective selling behavior and performance of salespersons. This kind of training had better incorporate the perspectives of customers such that many customers can actually discern whether salespersons are doing either surface acting or deep acting. Finally, based on the synergistic effects of deep acting and CO culture, how to build and sustain CO is always an ever-important task in sales organizations. While the prior sales literature has emphasized the process and structure of highly customer-oriented sales organization, our research not only corroborates the important aspects of customer-oriented sales organization, but also adds the important dimension of competent sales representatives who can resonate with customers by deep acting for sales excellence.

  • 회화에 있어서 대상을 사실적으로 표현한 작품들은 19세기 중반 프랑스에서 G.쿠르베가 당시의 아카데미즘 화풍에 반항하면서 사실주의를 주창하였고 이에 동조하는 H.도미에나 F.밀레와 같은 화가들에 의해 사실주의풍의 작품들이 본격적으로 제작되었다. 이후 사실주의는 미술을 비롯해서 문학영역 전반에까지 확대되었고 예술작품과 문학작품에 지대한 영향을 주었다. 만화 또한 회화의 한 형식으로서 그 역사적 맥락을 같이하며 사실주의적인 만화가 당시의 화가나 만화가들에 의해 제작되어지기 시작하였다. 이러한 사실주의 만화(Realism Comics)는 사실에 기초해서 이야기를 다룬 만화로서 내용적으로는 당대의 사회적 현실을 객관적으로 묘사하고 재현시키는 것이 가장 중요한 목적중의 하나였지만 시각적 측면 즉, 대상의 표현 면에서는 반드시 사실적이라고 단정 지어 말할 수는 없었다. 그러던 중 1980년대 이후 미국과 유럽을 중심으로 만화와 소설의 중간 형식을 띈 그래픽 노블이 탄생하게 되었다. 그래픽 노블은 슈퍼 히어로물이 넘쳐나던 미국 만화시장에 문학성과 예술성이 강한 형식과 양식을 갖추고 나타났으며, 그 주요 특징으로는 내용적으로나 시각적으로나 매우 사실적으로 표현되어 있다는 점이다. 이는 마치 그 서사구조나 그림들이 그래픽으로 연출된 소설이나 문학작품을 보는 듯 복잡하고 섬세하며 예술적 작품성까지 지니고 있다. 그래픽 노블에서 보여 지는 사실적 표현의 특징들은 이전의 만화작품과 비교하여 볼 때 상당히 큰 차이점들을 발견할 수 있다. 시대의 유행을 따르기보다는 개성이 강한 작가주의적 그림 스타일의 특색을 보이며, 작품의 완성도가 상당히 높으면서도 독창적이고 실험적인 표현기법이나 방식들로 인해 회화나 일러스트와 같이 예술작품으로 인정받기 시작했다는 점에서 주목할 만하다. 최근 국내에서도 헐리우드 블록버스터 영화가 잇따라 개봉되어 흥행에 성공하면서부터 원작 그래픽 노블에 대한 관심과 수요가 증가되었다. 따라서 많은 원작 그래픽 노블이 번역되어 판매되기 시작하였고 이러한 세계적인 흐름과 유행에 발맞추어 한국의 일부 작가들이 그래픽 노블류의 작품들을 제작하기 시작하였다. 그러나 그래픽 노블을 표방하며 제작되어진 국내 작품들을 살펴보면 그 형식과 정통성 측면에서 여러 가지 견해가 있다. 이러한 시점에서 본 연구는 한국적 그래픽 노블의 대표적 작품이라고 할 수 있는 권가야의 <남한산성>에 초점을 맞추었으며, 특히, 대상의 사실적 표현이라는 시각적 측면에 중점을 두고 그 특징들과 유사성 등을 분석해보고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해 국내 그래픽 노블에 대한 정체성과 현주소를 되짚어보고 미국이나 유럽 그리고 일본의 그래픽 노블과는 차별화된 우리만의 독창적인 소재를 개발, 활용함으로써 한국적 그래픽 노블이 경쟁력을 갖춘 만화의 한 장르로 더욱 발전할 수 있도록 모색하는 계기가 되었으면 한다. 더 나아가 침체되어 있는 국내 만화시장에 새로운 활력소가 되기를 희망한다.

  • 본 연구는 근대 시기 일본풍 정원의 확립과정을 인물과 작품의 공간구성과 공간구성요소, 재료 등을 통해 살펴보고 우리 정원의 정체성 구현을 위한 자료로 삼고자 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국성이 수용하고 있는 인자를 한일 근대 시기 정원문화에 대입한 결과, 장소성, 현재성, 주체성에 있어 모두 차이를 보인다. 이는 근대 시기 한국에는 문화적인 단절이 있었던 반면, 일본은 비교적 온전한 문화 계승이 이루어졌다는 점에서 차이가 나타난 것으로 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 근대 시기 이전의 일본의 정원문화는 문화적인 단절 없이 일본 전역의 각기 각층에 보급되고 지속해서 발전해왔다. 근대 시기 메이지 정부는 문명개화 정책을 추진해 유럽과 미국의 선진문명 도입을 주도하여 서양식 건축법이 유행하게 되었다. 급속한 서양문화의 도입은 전통적인 일본문화가 잊히는 결과를 초래했다. 영국의 건축가 조시 콘더(Josiah Condor)는 일본인 건축가를 지도(1879)하고 정원의 화실, 일본정원의 전통적 디자인 등을 설계에 도입하였다. 메이지부터 다이쇼 시대에 교토지역에서 활동했던 오가와 지헤에(小川 治兵衛)의 정원양식은 일본의 전통문화를 지키고자 했던 정·재계 유력자들에게 받아들여졌고 각종 법령의 마련 등으로 보호 제도도 갖춰졌다. 셋째, 일본 근대정원의 정원가, 일본적인 구성요소, 재료, 요소와 일본풍을 중심으로 분석한 결과, 야마가타 아리토모(山縣 有朋), 오가와 지헤에(小川 治兵衛), 시게모리 미레에(重森 三玲) 등이 일본풍을 정원에 계승한 대표적 정원가이며, 공간구성의 특징으로 대지천(大池泉) 정원조성과 자연주의적 차경 수법의 도입, 물의 흐름을 도입하는 것이 특징적으로 나타났다. 일본풍 정원 구성요소의 특징은 잔디 활용, 곡선의 원로, 자연스러운 향토적 식재수종으로의 변화라고 할 수 있다. 넷째, 사례 대상지의 일본풍 인자를 분석한 결과, 공간구성의 개별 요소별로 특히 유수(흐름)의 활용이 47.06%의 비율로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 대지천과 자연주의적 차경도 확인되었다. 잔디의 식재와 곡선 원로의 도입은 각각 65.88%, 78.82% 비율로 나타났다. 수종 변화는 28.24%로 잔디의 식재나 곡선 원로의 적용보다는 비교적 적은 건수가 확인되었다. 다섯째, 우리는 근대 시기의 정원들을 확대 발굴하여 정원의 조성자나 소유주, 공간의 구성, 공간의 구성요소, 재료 등을 세부적으로 기록하고 우리나라 정원의 정체성을 찾는 데도 유용하게 활용해야 한다. 본 연구는 일본의 근대 시기 일본풍의 확립과정을 인물과 사례 정원을 통해 분석한 결과를 토대로 연구를 진행하였으나 보다 다수의 사례와 구체적인 기법의 분류 등 세부적인 연구를 진행하지 못한 것을 연구의 한계로 두고 차후 과제로 삼고자 한다.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used.

Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm.

N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • 인터넷의 발달을 통해 지속적으로 인스턴트 커뮤니케이션이 발달해왔다. 인스턴트 커뮤니케이션에서 가장 대표적인 것이 메신저 애플리케이션이다. 메신저 애플리케이션에서 이모티콘은 송신자의 감정 전달을 보완하기 위해 활용됐다. 메신저 애플리케이션 송신자의 감정 전달에 약한 모습을 보이는데 그 이유는 면대면 커뮤니케이션이 아니기 때문이다. 이모티콘은 과거 화자의 기분 상태를 나타내는 기호로만 사용됐다. 그러나 현재는 이모티콘은 감정 전달 뿐만 아니라 개인의 특성과 개성을 나타내고 싶어 하는 소비자의 심리를 반영하는 형태로 발전해가고 있다. 이모티콘의 사용 환경이 개선되었고, 이모티콘 자체가 발전함으로써 이모티콘 자체에 대한 관심도는 증가하였다. 대표적인 예로 카카오톡, 라인, 애플 등에서 서비스를 진행하고 있으며, 관련 컨텐츠 상품의 매출도 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 전망하고 있다. 이모티콘 자체의 관심도 증가와 관련 사업의 성장세에도 불구하고 현재 적절한 이모티콘 추천 시스템이 부재하다. 국내 점유율 90% 이상의 메신저 애플리케이션인 카카오톡조차 단순히 인기 순이나 최근 순, 혹은 간략한 카테고리 별로 분류한 정도이다. 소비자들은 원하는 이모티콘을 찾기 위해서 스크롤을 계속해서 내려야 하는 불편함이 있으며, 본인이 원하는 감성의 이모티콘을 찾기 어렵다. 소비자들이 편의성 향상과 기업의 이모티콘 관련 사업의 판매 매출 증가를 위해 소비자가 원하는 이모티콘을 추천해줄 수 있는 이모티콘 추천 시스템이 필요하다. 적절한 이모티콘을 추천하기 위해서 소비자가 이모티콘을 보고 느낀 감성에 대해 정량화할 필요성이 있다. 정량화를 통해 소비자가 원하는 이모티콘 셋이 가진 특징과 감성에 대해 분석할 수 있으며, 분석 결과를 토대로 소비자에게 이모티콘을 추천할 수 있다. 이모티콘은 메타데이터화의 방법으로 정량화가 가능하다. 메타데이터화 방법은 빅데이터 시대에 비정형, 반정형 데이터에 대해서 의미를 추출하기 위해 데이터를 구조화 혹은 조직화하는 작업이다. 비정형 데이터인 이모티콘을 메타데이터화를 통해 구조화한다면, 쉽게 소비자가 원하는 감성 형태로 분류할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다. 정확한 감성을 추출하기 위해 감정과 관련된 선행 연구를 통해 7개의 공통 감성 형용사와 한국어에서만 나타나는 은유 혹은 표현적 특징들을 반영하기 위해 하위 세부 표현들까지 고려했다. 이모티콘의 가장 큰 특징인 캐릭터를 기반으로 "표상", "형상", "색상"의 범주에서 세부 하위 감성들을 수집했다. 정확도 높은 추천 시스템을 설계하기 위해 감성 지표만이 아니라 객관적 지표도 고려하였다. 메타데이터화 방법을 통해 이모티콘이 갖고 있는 캐릭터의 특징을 객관적 지표로 14개, 감성 지표로 활용하기 위해 감성 형용사를 36개를 추출하였다. 추출된 감성 형용사는 대비되는 형용사로 구성하여 총 18개로 줄였으며, 18개의 감성 형용사는 카카오톡의 이모티콘을 인기 순으로 임의의 40개 셋을 대상으로 측정하였다. 측정을 위해 이모티콘을 평가할 조사 대상자 온라인으로 모집하였고, 277명의 20~30대의 이모티콘을 구매한 경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 설문을 진행하였다. 설문응답자에게 서로 다른 5개의 이모티콘 셋을 평가하도록 하였다. 평가 결과 수집된 18개의 감정 형용사는 요인분석을 통해 감성 지표 요인으로 추출하였다. 추출된 소비자 감성 지표의 요인은 "코믹", "부드러움", "모던함", "투명함"이었다. 이모티콘의 객관적 지표와 감성 지표 요인을 활용하여 소비자 만족과의 관계를 분석하였고, 객관적 지표와 감성 지표 간의 관계도 분석하였다. 이 과정에서 객관적 지표가 소비자 태도에 바로 영향을 주는 것이 아니라 감성 지표 요인을 통해 소비자 태도에 영향을 주는 매개 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 분석 결과는 소비자의 감성 평가 메커니즘을 밝혀냈고, 소비자의 이모티콘 감성 평가 메커니즘은 객관적 지표가 감성 지표 요인에 영향을 미치며, 감성 지표 요인은 소비자 만족에 영향을 미치는 관계였다. 따라서 감성 지표 요인의 네 가지만으로 이모티콘 추천 시스템을 설계하였고, 추천 방법은 각 감성과의 거리를 유클리디안 거리로 측정하여 거리의 차가 0에 가까울수록 비슷한 감성으로 정의하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 이모티콘 시스템의 검증을 위해 각 감성 지표 요인과 소비자 만족의 평균을 지표 값으로 활용하여 각 이모티콘 셋의 감성 패턴을 그래프로 비교하였고, 추천된 이모티콘들과 선택된 이모티콘이 대체로 비슷한 패턴을 그리는 것을 확인하였다. 정확한 검증을 위해 사전 조사하였던 소비자를 대상으로 이모티콘 추천 시스템이 제시한 결과와 유사하게 평가하였는지 유사 순위를 세 구간으로 나누어 비교하였고, 순위별 예측 정확도는 결과 1순위 81.02%, 2순위 76.64%, 3순위 81.63%였다. 본 연구의 결과는 학문적, 실무적으로 다양한 분야에서 활용 가능한 방법론을 제시하였으며, 기존에 없던 이모티콘 추천 시스템의 설계를 통해 소비자에게는 편의와 이모티콘을 서비스하는 기업에는 매출증대의 효과를 가져올 것으로 예상한다. 그리고 본 연구를 통해 지능형 이모티콘 시스템으로 발전할 수 있는 단초를 제공했다는 점에서 의미가 있다. 본 연구에서 제안한 감성 요인들을 활용하여 감성 라이브러리로 사용함으로써, 새로운 이모티콘 출시 시 감성 평가의 지표로 활용할 수 있다. 축적된 감성 라이브러리와 기업의 판매 데이터, 매출 정보, 소비자 데이터를 결합하여 본 연구에서 제안한 추천 시스템을 복합형 추천 시스템으로 발전시켜 단순 소비자의 편의성이나 매출 증가뿐만 아니라 기업에서 전략적으로 활용 가능한 지적 자산으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
