  • The environment surrounded by industries is represented by the 3Cs : Customers, Competition, and Changes. The 3Cs drive industries to pursue external business targets such as customer's needs and marketplaces with BPR (Business Process Reengineering). BPR addresses core business process. One of these core business processes is product development. This product development process has been reengineered by the concept of CE (Concurrent Engineering). The aim of the paper is to build frameworks of CE to clarify the CE concept. This paper begins with investigating the product development process from the perspectives of three drivers: cost, quality and speed. CE frameworks are then followed. The first frmework is concerned with the CE definition and thus three keyphrases are extracted : from the outset, concurrent design and systematic approach. Concerned with the CE implementation, the second framework is composed of five components: generalist & specialist, cross-function team, enabling tools & techniques, success metrics, and total visibility. This paper concludes that the CE practice is hard to achieve because of the 'dont't-tell-them-early' attitude of upstream people, and the 'wait-and-see' attitude of downstream people. As resolution, a change management program is recommended that changes an employees mind-set. This paper also supposes computer systems which facilitate and keep automatic track of the CE process as engineered. Finally it gives a warning that computer systems alone do not guarantee success without being preceded by process re-engineering.

  • Traditional Korean paper called Hanji using bast fibers from mulberry tree is made through complicated handmade works. This made Hanji very strong and exceedingly durable. Therefore it is said to last a thousand years. Such incomparable features of Hanji come from the unique sheet forming method called ouibalttugi using a bamboo screen. Excellent physical properties of Hanji reflect the wide variety of use, all central to everyday life. Despite its Excellency, the papermaking practice of traditional handmade paper, Hanji, from Korea is little known outside its country. This might be due to public apathy on Hanji in modern times. Without future apprentices dedicated to the craft, the Korean tradition able to make its soul is in danger of extinction in its homeland. Therefore more concern and more affection on Hanji is required immediately. It must be kept in mind that Hanji is our cultural heritage in pride over time.

  • Reflecting the idea of benevolent royal government of King Jeongjo(鼎俎), the Buyongji(芙蓉池) and Juhamru(宙合樓) of Changdeokgung(昌德宮) are the traditional Korean architecture to represent the Joseon(朝鮮) period. The purposes of this study were to investigate how the Likiron(理氣論), one of the foremost theories of Joseon Confucianism, was applied to the principle of space composition by analyzing Buyongji and Juhamru with Jung's analytical psychology and to provide basic data to utilize the results in modem space planning. The research findings indicate that Buyongji is the space of Ki(氣) to reflect the reality, corresponds to conscious, and represents the Joseon land and people including Chiljeong(七情) And Juhamru is the space of Li(理) with the ideal of benevolent royal government inherited in it and represents unconscious. It also has each building placed which contained the nature of Sadan(四端) along with Gyujanggak and Jewolgwangpunggwak(齊月光風觀) to represent "Self Archetype" that's the core of human mind. Each representing Ki and Li, Buyongji and Juhamru must have worked as a major composition principle of Likilwonronjeokilwonron(理氣二元論的一元論) that could simultaneously satisfy the practice philosophy of reality and ideal among Likiron.

  • In modern western science, the humanities and social sciences are separated from the natural sciences. However, new interpretations should be explored based on holistic concepts and the principles of wholeness found in eastern nature. Examples of the latter from Korea include Lee Je Ma's Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM). We aimed to examine the features and problems associated with SCM, as well as approaches to these problems. Sasang constitutional medicine suggests that an individual's constitution is determined congenitally, and the body and mind need to be considered simultaneously when treating disease. And SCM thinks that individuality is important in clinical practice even in social relationship. SCM needs to develop for objective diagnoses, and basic research needs to be conducted in parallel such as study of the Confucian classics and neo-confucianism. Expanding the scope of patient-centric academic exchange has been raised as an important issue to exchange with Western medicine and so on. SCM can be the medicine that places humanity at the center, and its mentality could apply to preventive medicine and personalized medicine. So it has positive influence on construction of a healthy society and improvement of healthcare worldwide.

  • Falun Gong (FG) is an advanced system of cultivation and practice, which is beneficial for both mind and body. In this study we investigated the effects of FG on the production of cytokines in FG practitioner (FGP). To study whether plasma cytokines levels were affected by FG, their levels were analyzed. The amount of $interferon-{\gamma}$ $(IFN-{\gamma})$, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4 and IL-6 (2.5-fold for $IFN-{\gamma}$, 1.2-fold for IL-2, 2.1-fold for IL-4 and 2.5-fold for IL-6, respectively) were significantly higher in the FGP group than normal group (P<0.05). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from normal healthy control and FGP were cultured for 24 h in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide. The amount of $IFN-{\gamma}$, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6 in culture supernatant was quantified. However, there were no significant differences in the level of the same cytokines between the normal and FGP group. These data suggest that FG cultivation may contribute to immune-enhancement in vivo.

  • Over the years, several different approaches have been proposed to enhance the practice of software reuse. These approaches vary in reuse abstraction levels or application domains they focus on. However, it seems that they do not adequately meet the needs of software designers in planning and managing reuse. One reason may be the lack of conceptually well-established framework supporting work domain analysis and modeling. As a new viable solution to this problem, Sutcliffe and his colleagues developed Domain Theory , which is introduced in this paper. Utilizing multidisciplinary perspective, such as cognitive psychology, management science, human-computer interaction, and software engineering. it provides a schematic framework that defines a comprehensive library of generic and reusable models of domain knowledge in terms of generic tasks and meta-domains. It also provides useful methods and guidelines for software reuse, emphasizing the concept of abstraction process in a designer s mind. This paper firstly gives a brief overview of fundamentals of software reuse. Next, it explains the foundation of domain theory and discusses its applicability to software reuse. In particular, the taxonomy of meta-domains and the types of generic tasks are described in more detail. Finally, the future research framework, which primarily addresses the problem of how to apply the domain theory to various work domains, is proposed.
