  • Objectives: Six cases of non-oral occupational methanol poisoning were found in mobile phone parts manufacturers in South Korea during the period from 22 January 2016 to 5 October 2016. We conducted this study to determine the cause of the accident including social environment factor. Methods: We interviewed the cases. Based on that, we described this poisoning accident narratively and arranged the evolution of the accident in chronological order. We used the Haddon matrix method to investigate the cause of the accident. Results: It was found that six cases were all dispatched workers who were under poor working condition including working time exceeded 12 hours a day, not given basic occupational health and safety information etc. Occupational disease associated with dispatched work was difficult to be reported. 2 cases were not able to identify the cause of the disease within one year. Conclusions: In short, the direct cause of the poisoning accident was that workers were exposed to high concentration of methanol(over 1,000 ppm). One of the main fundamental cause is that dispatched worker is rampant in the supply chain of mobile phone production. To protect dispatched workers, appropriate occupational safety health measures are needed urgently.

  • Vulnerability to heat was examined for populations of 6 major cities in South Korea (Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju, Daegu, and Busan). Daily excess mortality and maximum temperature from 1991 to 2005 were employed in this study. The results show that the standardized mortality increase associated with a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in daily maximum temperature above the city-specific threshold explains the heat acclimatization effect better than the threshold temperature itself. The estimated increase in mortality (standardized per 10 million population) associated with a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in temperature above the threshold is 4.8 in Incheon, 4.7 in Seoul, 4.3 in Daejeon, 2.8 in Gwangju, 2.4 in Daegu, and 1.5 in Busan, well reflecting the latitudinal locations and local climates of each city. Climate models project more frequent, more intense, and longer lasting heat waves in most land areas in both hemispheres in the 21st century under increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. In order to mitigate the adverse human health impacts due to excess heat, more detailed characteristics of acclimatization to heat need to be understood and quantified.

  • It is expected that the temperature in Pyeongyang will be similar to that ($16.6^{\circ}C$) in Seogwipo in the late 21st century, and most of South Korea will enter the subtropical climate due to climate change. Change in the precipitation pattern like the range of fluctuation caused by climate change will lead to expanded uncertainty in securing reliable water supply, along with a serious impact on demands for living and industrial water due to change in the volume and period of river outflow. As industrial water for production activities is estimated based on the contract quantity, it is difficult to apply rationalization of water usage and incentives in water recycling. Therefore many companies are making efforts in complying with the effluent standard while spending few resources on such rationalization and recycling. This study researched water risk management over 115 Korean companies by 28 questions in 4 categories. Through the research, this study aims to understand water risk management levels and seek response plans.

  • As in the past, we are concerned today with the magnitudes of mineral resources and the adequacy of these resources to meet future needs. In looking at global resource issues, we should consider the need for the resource, its supply, and the environmental consequences of using it. The need for a resource can become a resource dependency, specially as the global population expands and each of us becomes Increasingly dependent upon hundreds of natural materials. Therefore, our great mineral consumption makes the human population a true “Geologic Force”, which will be even more significant in the future when the global population is projected to reach alarming proportions. Although our supplies of mineral resources probably will be sufficient for the 21st century, the uneven distribution of minerals in the Earth's crust almost certainly will continue to be a major problem. The most likely result will be major shifts in both prices and sources of supply of many mineral resources. As for energy resources, we must avoid an obsessive dependency on one fuel and expand instead to other energy resources. Finally, because the use of resources affects the environment, we need to focus on resource exploitation and global pollution, particularly in regard to ground water and arable land. We must manage our resources so as to be in balance with our environment. And the accelerated industrialization of South Korean economy over the last three decades has resulted in the mass consumption of mineral commodities. South Korea has around 50 useful mineral commodities for the mineral industry, among 330 kinds of minerals described. The component ratio of the mining industry sector of the gross national production(GNP) in South Korea dropped from 1.2% in 1971 to 0.34% in 1997 due to the rapid growth of other industries in the country. During the period from 1971 to 1997, the average growth rate of mineral consumption in South Korea was 9.13% yearly and that of GMP per capita was 14.97%. The mineral consumptions per capita showed a continual increase during the last 30 years as follows(parenthesis: GW per capita); 0.99 metric tons in 1997($289), 3.83 metric tons in 1989($5, 210), 6.11 metric tons in 1995 ($10, 037), and 6.66 metric tons in 1997($9, 511). The total amount of mineral consumption in South Korea was 33 million tons of 32 mineral commodities in 1971, and 306 million metric tons of 47 mineral commodities in 1997.

  • Party is an important communication method in the 21st century and this tendency is not exceptional in Korea. With this noteworthy phenomenon, this study summarized the concept and history of party first, and then analysed "belief - attitude - behavioral intention" model based on the one-dimensional attitude theory. The variables included in this research were western culture familiarity as belief factor, three variables evaluating the party culture(i.e., non-popularity of party, marketability of party, sociability of party) as attitude factor, and dress code receptiveness as behavioral intention factor. The samples of this study were 498 women in twenties and thirties from metropolitan areas in South Korea. SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 4.0 packages were used for statistical analysis. The results of this research are as follows: First, western culture familiarity had a significant effect on attitude toward party culture. Specifically, western culture familiarity negatively influenced the non-popularity dimension of party and positively influenced the marketability and sociability dimension of party. Second, attitude toward party culture significantly influenced the dress code receptiveness. Consecutively, all of three dimensions about attitude toward party culture positively influenced the dress code receptiveness. Managerial implications were provided.

  • 급격히 변화하고 있는 21세기 현대 사회에서 국가 경제력을 갖춘 인재 양성을 위해 최근 미국, 영국 등 선진국을 중심으로 STEM(Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) 교육이 점차 강조되고 있으며 우리나라에서는 Arts(예술)를 추가하여 STEAM(Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics) 교육이 나타났다. 융합(STEAM) 교육 목표는 기존의 주입식 및 암기식 교육이 아닌 학습자들의 흥미도와 학습에 대한 동기 부여를 강화하여 체험, 탐구, 실험이 중심이 되어 융합적 사고와 실생활 문제를 해결할 수 있는 능력을 갖추어 국가 경제력을 강화하는 것이다. 본 연구가 이루어진 Y 초등학교에서는 세계 공용어로 자리매김한 영어와 4차 산업 혁명으로 인한 발전으로 거의 모든 분야에서 찾아볼 수 있는 과학을 융합하여 학습자들이 주도적으로 수업에 참여하여 문제해결능력을 향상할 수 있는 PBL 모형과 ADDIE 모형이 기반이 된 수업 모형을 설계하였다. 이 모형은 크게 5가지 절차로 분석(Analysis), 설계(Design), 개발(Development), 실행(Implementation), 평가(Evaluation)로 구성된다. 국가 경제력을 갖춘 인재 양성이라는 목표도 중요하지만, 교육 현장에 있는 교사들이 융합(STEAM)교육의 중요성을 인지하고 이에 알맞은 수업 설계에 관한 연구가 지속하며 강화되어야 한다.

  • 본 연구에서는 IPCC SRES 6개 기후변화 시나리오(A2, A1B, A1FI, A1T, B1, and B2)를 기반으로 우리나라의 현재(1996~2005년)와 미래(2046~2055년, 2091~2100년)에 대한 냉난방도일을 전망하였다. 이를 위하여 전구 기후모델(CCSM3)의 미래 전망 결과를 지역규모 기후모델(MM5)을 이용한 다운스케일링을 통해 고해상도(18km)의 기온 전망을 수행하였다. 21세기 말의 한반도 기온은 현재 대비 약 $1.2{\sim}3.4^{\circ}C$ 수준까지 증가하는 것으로 전망된다. 기온 전망 결과를 이용하여 7개 권역별(서울 경기, 강원 산간, 중부 내륙, 남부 내륙, 남부 해안, 영동 울릉, 제주) 냉난방도일을 전망한 결과, 21세기 말의 난방도일은 현재 대비 8~25% 수준까지 감소하는 반면에 냉방도일은 242~1,448%까지 증가하였다. 또한, 난방기간은 약 1개월 정도 감소하며, 냉방기간은 최대 2개월 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재에 비해 미래의 난방에너지 수요는 감소하지만, 냉방에너지 수요는 증가할 것으로 예측된다. 특히, 이러한 변화는 타 권역에 비해 강원산간권역과 제주권역에서 뚜렷하게 나타날 것으로 예측된다. 따라서 미래에는 난방을 위한 화석에너지보다 냉방에너지로 사용되는 전기에너지에 대한 수요관리가 현재보다 더욱 중요해질 수 있음을 의미한다.

  • This article will analyze and forecast important variables and dynamics in global power politics after the war in Ukraine. It tries to use several perspectives to analyze international relations, particularly liberal internationalism and structural realism. In short, core variables are as follows; First, how is the US-led liberal international order and globalization being adjusted? Second, how will the U.S.-China strategic competition, which is the biggest and structural variable, cause changes in the international order in the future? The third variable, how stable are Sino-Russia relations in the context of a structuring U.S.-China-Russia strategic new triangle? Fourth, to what extent will third middle hedging states outside the U.S. and China be able to exercise strategic autonomy in the face of multipolarization? To summarize, the first of these four variables is the largest basic variable at the global political and economic level in terms of its impact on the international community, and it has been led by the United States. The second variable, in terms of actors, seems to be the most influential structural variable in global competition, and the US-China strategic competition is likely to be a long game. Thus the world will not be able to escape the influence of the competition between the two global powers. For South Korea, this second variable is probably the biggest external variable and dilemma. The third variable, the stability of Sino-Russia relations, determines balance of global power in the 21st century. The U.S.-China-Russia strategic new triangle, as seen in the current war in Ukraine, will operate as the greatest power variable in not only global power competition but also changes in the international order. Just as the U.S. is eager for a Sino-Russia fragmentation strategy, such as a Tito-style wedge policy to manage balance of power in the early years of the Cold War, it needs a reverse Kissinger strategy to reset the U.S.-Russia relationship, in order to push for a Sino-Russia splitting in the 21st century. But with the war in Ukraine, it seems that this fragmentation strategy has already been broken. In the context of Northeast Asia, whether or not the stability of Sino-Russia relations depends not only on the United States, but also on the Korean Peninsula. Finally, the fourth variable is a dependent variable that emerged as a result of the interaction of the above three variables, but simultaneously it remains to be seen that this variable is likely to act as the most dynamic and independent variable that can promote multilateralism, multipolarization, and pan-regionalism of the global international community in the future. Taking into account these four variables together, we can make an outlook on the change in the international order.

  • 본 논문은 최근 남북한 군비통제의 추진현황과 과제를 분석하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 군비통제의 이론적 개요, 최근 남북한 군비통제의 추진현황, 한반도 군비통제의 제약요인과 과제를 살펴본 후 결론을 도출해 본 것이다. 21세기 한민족의 공존공영을 위한 평화구조 정착을 위해 무엇보다 중요한 과제중의 하나는 첨예한 군사적 대결상태와 상호위협을 해소하기 위한 군비통제의 실현이라 할 수 있다. 2018년 평창동계올림픽을 계기로 한반도 평화와 비핵화를 위한 남북 북미정상회담과 후속회담을 통해 남북한 신뢰구축과 군비통제의 여건이 조성되어 가고 있다. 4.27 판문점선언과 '판문점선언 이행을 위한 군사적 합의' 등을 통해 남북한간의 군사적 신뢰구축 및 운용적 군비통제가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 남북한의 적대감 불신감의 잔존, 남북한과 주변국과의 방위조약, 주변국의 군비경쟁과 한반도에 대한 복잡한 이해관계 등의 군비통제의 제약요인(制約要因)이 존재하는바, 남북한의 군비통제에 대한 공감대의 형성과 신뢰구축이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 우리는 장기적인 통일안보의 비전을 가지고 가능한 것부터 점진적이면서도 신중하게 한반도 대내외 역학관계의 국제적 군비통제의 추세를 고려하여 남북한간의 군비통제문제를 해결해 나가야 할 것이다,
