We consider the problem of optimizing the performance of a system with resources shared by non-cooperative users. The worst-cast ratio between the cost of a Nash equilibrium and the optimal cost, called Price of Anarchy, is investigated. It measures the performance degradation due to the users' selfish behavior. As the objective function of the optimization problem, we are concerned in a load balancing measure, which is different from that used in the previous works. Also we consider the Stackelberg scheduling which can assign a fraction of the users to resources while the remaining users are free to act in a selfish manner.

We present a fair and efficient solution for selfish readers with the Nash bargaining solution (NBS) to mitigate the effects of RFID frequency interference. We compare the NBS with a solution derived by the max log-sum scheme that maximizes total utility and show that for selfish and rational readers, the NBS brings success in bargaining on resource allocation between readers unlike the max log-sum scheme, although the NBS has less total payoff compared to the max log-sum scheme.

현재 이동 애드혹 네트워크(mobile ad hoc network; MANET)의 라우팅 프로토콜들은 모든 노드들이 자발적으로 다른 노드들로부터의 패킷을 포워딩하는데 참석한다고 가정하고 있다. 그러나 하나의 MANET이 여러 관리 기구에 속한 노드들로 구성될 경우, 이동 노드가 자신의 에너지를 절약하기 위해서 다른 노드들로부터의 패킷을 고의적으로 포워딩하지 않을 수도 있으며 이로 인해 네트워크 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드가 자발적으로 패킷 포워딩에 참여하도록 하는 PIFA(Protocol-Independent Fairness Algorithm)라는 크레딧 지불(credit payment) 기법을 제안한다 DSR과 같은 소스 라우팅 (source routing) 방식에서만 사용할 수 있었던 기존 방법들과는 달리 PIFA는 기반이 되는 라우팅 프로토콜의 종류와 무관하게 사용될 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해, PIFA가 이기적인(selfish) 노드로 하여금 패킷 포워딩에 참여하게 함으로써 네트워크 성능이 저하되지 않게 함을 알았다.

도덕은 공동체에서 비로소 등장한다. 공동체는 자신의 존속과 발전을 목적으로 한다. 그런데 공동체의 구성원인 개별자들은 또한 각각이 자신의 존속과 발전을 추구한다. 도덕은 개인의 이익과 공공선의 갈등 상황에서 요청된다. 도덕철학들은 개인을 도덕적 의무의 담지자로 규정하여 도덕의 수행을 요구하기도 하고, 이기적 욕망의 소유자로 인정하되 합리적 판단을 통한 도덕의 선택을 요구하기도 했다. 본고는 이런 입장에서 우선 인간을 이기적 욕망의 권리자로 규정한 순자 도덕철학을 분석하고, 그러한 규정이 공공선의 달성이라는 근본적 목적 사이에 어떤 문제를 야기하게 되는지를 검토한다. 순자 철학에서 이기적 인간이 가진 행위는 오직 욕망의 추구라는 하나의 동력만을 가진다. 순자는 더 이롭다는 것으로 예의의 준수, 곧 도덕의 선택을 장려한다. 이로부터 두 가지 이론적 문제가 발생한다. 그 문제란 곧 인간의 이기적 욕망을 유일한 추동력으로 삼는 인간관으로부터 야기되는 도덕적 선택의 동기 부재 문제와 도덕을 선택의 영역에 둠으로써 위반자에 대한 처벌이나 비난, 나아가 도덕의 강제가 불가능하다는 문제이다. 필자는 전자에 대해 도덕적 행위에는 극단적 상황에서의 영웅적 행위와 일상적 상황에서의 소극적 준수 행위가 있으며, 영웅적 행위의 어려움이 소극적 준수조차 불가능하게 만드는 것은 아니라는 점을 지적함으로써 일정정도의 해명을 시도했다. 다음으로 위반자에 대한 처벌이나 비난이 불가능하고 이에 따라 도덕이 무의미해질 것이라는 비판에 대해서는 그러한 문제제기가 사실은 도덕의 수행에 타율을 필수적인 것으로 전제하는 입장에 기인한 것임을 지적하였다.

From the Darwinian perspective, all the human behaviors and thoughts are operated by "the selfish gene," the term coined by Richard Dawkins, which has long been evolving to survive by utilizing the limited quality and quantity of resources. And an organism which fails to regenerate by creating its "replicator" is doomed to extinction, for gene combinations which help an organism to survive and reproduce tend to also improve the gene's own chances of being passed on through generations. Dawkins also coins the term "meme" for a unit of human cultural evolution analogous to the gene, suggesting that such selfish replication may also be the principle for human culture. Ian McEwan is not only a controversial but more importantly influential writer in the 21st century academic world. His 1997 book Enduring Love is not exceptional in that it draws both literary and scientific attention. Intentionally set up with the dynamic conflict between the two cultures, namely art and science, the book explores the way in which the state of the modern minds is misinterpreted and estranged by each other. In this novel, the three main protagonists, Joe, Clarissa, and Jed, each representing the very important three elements of human civilization-cognition/science, emotion/art, and faith/religion-meet an unexpected peril of life. The author of the novel employs the narrative of evolutionary science-in particular the narratives of gene and meme-to provoke the question of the two cultures famously addressed by Snow in the mid 20th century and the further discussions followed by the later Darwinian scholars such as Richard Dawkins. In this paper I aim to illustrate the way in which the author develops the idea of gene science and literature and how he proceeds to provide a sophisticated bridge between the two cultures and induce a kind of consilience by the recurrent name of love in the story of Enduring Love.

Purpose - This study investigated the relationship among cultural disposition (Chemyeon, Noonchi, Woozzul), media use, and attitude toward luxury goods consumption. Research design, data, and methodology - We analyzed online survey data for 300 Korean Women between 20 and 39 years of age who lived in Seoul, capital of South Korea. We used multiple regression analysis to examine the relative influence of cultural orientation on cognition of luxury goods, Sobel test. to determine mediating effect, and a two-way analysis of variance in IBM SPSS 23.0. Results - The finding suggests that cultural disposition (Chemyeon, Noonchi, conspicuous Woozzul) correlated significantly with perceived self-identity, attitude toward luxury goods. The effects of Chemyeon, Noonchi, and selfish Woozzul on the attitude toward luxury goods was fully mediated by perceived self-identity. However, association between conspicuous Woozzul and attitude toward luxury goods was partially mediated by perceived self-identity. Regarding media effects, the results indicate that there were interaction effects between selfish Woozzul and amount of time spent on TV on attitude toward luxury goods, as well as between selfish Woozzul and amount of time spent on Internet. Conclusions - These findings suggest that luxury goods consumption of Korean young women is consumer behavior that reflects individual cultural disposition and media use.

차량 애드 혹 네트웍 (VANET)은 모바일 애드혹 네트워크의 일종으로써 차량 간의 임시적인 통신을 가능케 한다. VANET의 모바일 노드는 네트웍의 일원으로 참여하면서 에너지와 자원을 사용한다. 몇몇의 노드는 다른 노드와 협력하는 대신에 자신의 이득만을 취하려고 하는 이기성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 이기성을 가진 노드들로 인해 데이터 접근성과 네트웍의 효율성이 감소하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 새로운 기법인 VANET 그룹에서 이기성을 갖고있는 노드를 제거하는 Friendship-VaR을 제안한다. Friendship-VaR은 이기성을 갖고있는 노드를 제거하고 믿을 수 있는 노드들간에 데이터 공유를 가능케 한다. Friendship-VaR는 간단한 데이터 교환을 통해 노드의 이기성 여부를 결정한다. 실험 결과는 제안한 기법이 기존의 기법에 비해 데이터 접근성이 좋아짐을 보여준다.

In opportunistic network, the behavior of a node is autonomous and has social attributes such as selfishness.If a node wants to forward information to another node, it is bound to be limited by the node's own resources such as cache, power, and energy.Therefore, in the process of communication, some nodes do not help to forward information of other nodes because of their selfish behavior. This will lead to the inability to complete cooperation, greatly reduce the success rate of message transmission, increase network delay, and affect the overall network performance. This article proposes a hybrid incentive mechanism (Mim) based on the Reputation mechanism and the Credit mechanism.The selfishness model, energy model (The energy in the article exists in the form of electricity) and transaction model constitute our Mim mechanism. The Mim classifies the selfishness of nodes and constantly pay attention to changes in node energy, and manage the wealth of both sides of the node by introducing the Central Money Management Center. By calculating the selfishness of the node, the currency trading model is used to differentiate pricing of the node's services. Simulation results show that by using the Mim, the information delivery rate in the network and the fairness of node transactions are improved. At the same time, it also greatly increases the average life of the network.

This study attempted to compare the social interest, motivation, and attitude of nursing college students who participated in a voluntary program and the students who didn't participate in a voluntary program. The purpose of this study can be summarized as to find the effect of a voluntary program and to offer fundamental data for institutionalizing a voluntary program in college. The subjects were composed of two groups, one group attend the voluntary program and the other group doesn't. The subjects were 390 nursing students: 179 in the experimental group and 211 in the control group. The results of this study are as follows : 1. Before voluntary activities, the mean value of the control group was higher than that of the experimental group in social interest and altruistic motivation. The difference is statistically meaningful(t= -2.2.53, p=.25, t= -2.509, p= .013). 2. After voluntary activities, selfish motivation and altruistic motivation in the experimental group was higher than before. The difference is statistically meaningful(t= 2.404, p=.0l7, t=-2.751, p=.007). 3. The social interest, selfish motivation, altruistic motivation toward voluntary activities and selfish attitude, altruistic attitude toward voluntary activities will not have changed in the control group before or after voluntary program. However, the altruistic attitude lowered after voluntary activity. It is statistically meaningful(t=2.694, p=.008). 4. After the voluntary activities, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in altruistic attitude. In the experimental group, the mean value of altruistic attitude increased significantly, but in the control group the mean value of altruistic attitude decreased ( t = 2.15, p = .032). The results of this study showed that voluntary activities not only increase social interest and altruistic attitude, but also the subject's understanding toward the community. 3.
