The application of appropriate technologies in a developing country is an opportunity to introduce green technology which may lead people to imagine a better life. This point is at the intersection of appropriate technology and sustainable development. This research focuses on Hatphain village where there is no clean water, sewage system, or power lines. Two environmental technologies (an unpowered water purification system, Ongdalsaem and an eco-toilet system, BeeVi toilet) were introduced, based on the concepts of the environmental self- sustainable village and feces Standard Money (fSM). We found that the Ongdalsaem was effective in reducing the concentration of nitrogen and lead in the water in Hatphain. The BeeVi water-free toilet was installed, allowing urine and feces to be separated and used as compost. We strived to spread ideas of sustainability using new eco-circulation experiences and encouraging learning about environmental technology through practical and playing facilities that residents managed themselves.

본 연구는 인공지능 기술의 발전이 음악 콘텐츠 제작에 가져올 패러다임의 변화를 예측하고, 인공지능과 인간의 협업을 통해 창작된 작품이 완성품으로써 예술적 가치를 지닐 수 있음을 제기한다. 인공지능 작곡 프로그램을 활용하여 누구나 손쉽게 음악 콘텐츠 제작을 할 수 있으며, 예술가에게는 다양한 시도와 창의적인 발상에 영감을 줄 수 있는 계기가 됐다. 인공지능 기술이 인간의 삶에 편리성을 제공하고, 일의 효율적인 측면에 많은 혜택을 주고 있지만, 현재까지 예술 영역에서 데이터 기반의 패턴 음악이라는 인식에서 벗어나기 어려운 점이 있다. 이러한 정량적인 요소가 많은 패턴 음악은 예술이 추구하는 추상적인 상징성이나 의미가 부재되어 완전한 창작품으로써 인정받지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 인간의 협업을 통해 감정이나 창의성과 같은 정성적인 요소를 인공지능 음악에 부여하면 완전한 예술 작품으로써 가치를 인정받을 수 있음을 예측한다. 인공지능 기술의 발전은 대중들에게 문화·예술에 대한 접근성을 높여주고, 심미적인 체험과 더불어 누구나 즐길 수 있는 유희적인 측면까지 기대할 수 있다. 또한, 개인의 디지털 리터러시의 향상을 통해 다양한 콘텐츠를 제작할 수 있으며, 자신의 작품을 타인에게 공유하며 소통할 수 있는 계기가 된다. 이처럼 인공지능 기술은 대중과 문화·예술을 잇는 매개체 역할을 하고 있으며, 예술 활동을 통해 인간과 기술을 간극을 좁히고 있다. 이러한 문화적인 현상과 함께 예술적 가치를 지닌 인공지능 음악 콘텐츠 제작 연구와 향후 인공지능 기술을 활용한 다양한 융·복합 예술 콘텐츠의 발전 가능성을 전망해 본다.

To overcome the pandemic, a new strategy for innovation is in demand throughout the value chains of the fashion industry that emphasize the importance of fashion technology. Accordingly, as various viewpoints and fields of debate are unfolding to consider the direction of change led by fashion technology, it is necessary to make an active value judgment precedent by understanding the differences between various opinions. This study aims to derive keywords from fashion technology used during the pandemic, to infer the characteristics of each type of perspective and to understand their characteristics. For the research, this study combines text mining analysis and content analysis. Text mining analysis is used to find statistical patterns by collecting keywords from big data from online media, and content analysis is used to interpret the data qualitatively. After analyzing the results of this study, the following observations are made. First, the perspective of positive acceptance seeks to maximize the perception and sensory action of fashion through technology; this amplifies experience, an opportunity for innovation and efficiency. Second, critical vigilance highlights the side effects of radical changes in fashion technology, characterized by concerns about capital-centered polarization, threats to human rights, and infringement of creative thinking. Lastly, the perspective of gradual adoption is the gradual convergence of technologies, characterized by the pursuit of an appropriate balance.

Commercial deployment of nuclear microreactors presents an opportunity for the industry to rethink its approach to manufacturing, siting, operation and maintenance, and fuel cycle management as certain principles used in grid-scale nuclear projects are not applicable to a decentralized microreactor economy. The success of this nascent industry is dependent on its ability to reduce infrastructure, logistical, regulatory and lifecycle costs. A utility-like 'Central Facility' that consolidates the services required and responsibilities borne by vendors into one or a few centralized locations will be necessary to support the deployment of a fleet of microreactors. This paper discusses the requirements for a Central Facility, its implications on the cost structures of owners and suppliers of microreactors, and the impact of the facility for the broader microreactor industry. In addition, this paper discusses the pre-requisites for eligibility as well as the opportunities for a Central Facility host site. While there are many suitable locations for such a capability across the U.S., this paper considers a facility co-located with the Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant and Savannah River Sites to illustrate how a Central Facility can leverage the existing infrastructure and stimulate a local ecosystem.

In mobile opportunistic networks (MONs), human-carried mobile devices such as PDAs and smartphones, with the capability of short range wireless communications, could form various intermittent contacts due to the mobility of humans, and then could use the contact opportunity to communicate with each other. The dynamic changes of the network topology are closely related to the human mobility patterns. In this paper, we propose a social motivation-aware mobility model for MONs, which explains the basic laws of human mobility from the psychological point of view. We analyze and model social motivations of human mobility mainly in terms of expectancy value theory and affiliation motivation. Furthermore, we introduce a new concept of geographic functional cells, which not only incorporates the influence of geographical constraints on human mobility but also simplifies the complicated configuration of simulation areas. Lastly, we validate our model by simulating three real scenarios and comparing it with reality traces and other synthetic traces. The simulation results show that our model has a better match in the performance evaluation when applying social-based forwarding protocols like BUBBULE.
