There are flourishing studies in the acceptance or usage of information systems literature. Most of them have taken the pro - acceptance view. Undesirably, information technologies often provoke users' reactance or resistance. This paper explores one of the negative reactions -psychological reactance. The present paper studies the effects of the users' perception of threatened freedom and personalization degree on intention to use recommendation services. High personalization can be a major motivation for users to accept recommendation systems. However recommendation services are a two-edged sword, which not only provides users the efficiency of decision making but also poses threats to free choice. When people consider that their freedom is reduced or threatened by others, they experience the motivational state to restore the freedom. This motivational state must be considered in understanding usage of information systems, especially personalized services which are designed for persuasion or compliance. This paper empirically investigates the effect of personalization and the psychological reactance on the intention to use information systems in the personalized recommendation context. Users' perception of personalization increases the usefulness of recommendation service while their perception of threat to freedom reduces the intention to use personalized recommendation service. Findings and implications are discussed.

This thesis analyzes Somali piracy as a non-traditional threat to the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) and international countermeasures to the piracy. In an era of globally interdependent economies, the protection of sea lines and freedom of navigation are prerequisites for the development of states. Since the post-Cold War began in the early 1990s, ocean piracy has emerged as a significant threat to international trade. For instance, in the Malacca Strait which carries 30 percent of the world's trade volume, losses from failed shipping, insurance, plus other subsequent damages were enormous. Until the mid-2000s, navies and coast guards from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, together with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), conducted anti-piracy operations in the Strait of Malacca. The combined efforts of these three maritime states, through information sharing and with reinforced assets including warships and patrol aircrafts, have successfully made a dent to lower incidents of piracy. Likewise, the United Nations' authorization of multinational forces to operate in Somali waters has pushed interdiction efforts including patrol and escort flotilla support. This along with self-reinforced security measures has successfully helped lower piracy from 75 incidents in 2012 to 15 in 2013. As illustrated, Somali piracy is a direct security threat to the international community and the SLOC which calls for global peacekeeping as a countermeasure. Reconstructing the economy and society to support public safety and stability should be the priority solution. Emphasis should be placed on restoring public peace and jurisdiction for control of piracy as a primary countermeasure.

In the information age, cheap price of information processing and advances in personalization technology have allowed companies to enhance the relationships with their existing customers and to expand their customer base by effectively attracting new customers. However, most customers are reluctant to provide their personal information to companies. This study explores the tension between companies' desire to collect personal information to offer personalized services and their customers' privacy concerns. The psychological reactance theory suggests that when individuals feel that their behavioral choice is threatened or restricted, they are motivated to restore their freedom. Therefore, despite the expected benefits from personalized services, customers may perceive the services to be restrictive of their freedom to choose. This adverse effect may undermine the relationships between companies and their customers. We conducted experiments to explore the dynamic roles of transactional and environmental factors in motivating customers to provide personal information. We revisited online privacy issues from the perspective of psychological reactance. For the experiments, we created an online shop and randomly assigned the participants to one of the two experimental conditions-high and low levels of information requirements. The results of the experiment indicate that threatening the free choice serves as a transactional cost in online profiling. On the other hand, the expected benefits of personalization services have positive correlations with customers' willingness to provide personal information. This study explains privacy based on transactional and environmental factors. Our findings also indicate that the environmental factors such as the Internet privacy risk and trust propensity do not significantly affect the willingness to provide personal information when firms required much personal information. Implications and contributions are discussed.

The key lessons of the very complex modern war can be dangerously misleading to the outsiders. The efforts trying to draw lessons learned from the Iraq War (OIF : Operation Iraqi Freedom) may be biased by the view of point by Americans, because most of war episodes have been come from the Western media coverage. More serious bias can be committed thanks to the differences of warfighting doctrines and military technology between US forces and ROK forces. However, OIF-fought allied commanders and outside military experts said this campaign exemplified 21st-century warfare: swift, agile and decisive, employing overpowering technology to bring relentless violence to bear in many places at once. Even though the campaign evolved differently than anticipated, allied forces regrouped and regained the initiative remarkably quickly, thanks in large part to a new command flexibility, tied to new technology that made possible the more rapid sharing of data. These factors permitted "new air-land dynamic". The things that compel that are good sensors networked with good intelligence disseminated through a robust networking system, which then yields speed. Speed turns out to be a very important factor for conducting "Rapid Decisive Operations" relied on joint "Mass of Effects". ROK forces facing the heaviest ground threat in the world may learn more from Cold War era-typed US Army 3rd Infantry Division (3ID), which operating considerably beyond existing doctrine. 3ID flew its personnel into Kuwait to meet up with equipment already located in the region as pre-positioned stock. During OIF, the division conducted continuous offensive operations over 230km deep battlespace for 21 days. The lessons learned for ROK army to prepare tomorrow's war may be found from 3ID in its training, command and control, task organization, firepower and battlespace management, and logistics.

In structural optimization, static loads are generally utilized although real external forces are dynamic. Dynamic loads have been considered in only small-scale problems. Recently, an algorithm for dynamic response optimization using transformation of dynamic loads into equivalent static loads has been proposed. The transformation is conducted to match the displacement fields from dynamic and static analyses. The algorithm can be applied to large-scale problems. However, the application has been limited to size optimization. The present study applies the algorithm to shape optimization. Because the number of degrees of freedom of finite element models is usually very large in shape optimization, it is difficult to conduct dynamic response optimization with the conventional methods that directly threat dynamic response in the time domain. The optimization process is carried out via interfacing an optimization system and an analysis system for structural dynamics. Various examples are solved to verify the algorithm. The results are compared to the results from static loads. It is found that the algorithm using static loads transformed from dynamic loads based on displacement is valid even for very large-scale problems such as shape optimization.

This paper examines how Sedgwick makes a political allegory of founding the nation in domestic terms in The Linwoods (1835). Set in the Revolutionary period, The Linwoods is a historical fiction reconstructed by the writer in order to diagnose currently controversial issues. In this aspect, Sedgwick's interest in history is genealogical in Foucaudian sense. Foucault's genealogical method provides a way of recuperating a part of history hidden, submerged, obliterated by the official history. Seen in a genealogical perspective, the story of the Linwoods can be viewed as a political allegory in order to explore political conflicts of Sedgwick's own day. Faced with the threat of national disunion presented in the Nullification Crisis of sectional conflicts and divisions, Sedgwick attempts to provide a fictional solution to the first serious challenge to the U. S. Constitution. Going back to the times around the American Revolution, Sedgwick emphasizes how strenuously the American Constitution of America was formed as the outcome of the war against the tyranny of Britain, and how the Union was made on the basis of the cooperation between the States. By posing a contrast of political positions between family members, Sedgwick imagines a family/nation that allows diverse political positions. The conclusion of a diversity of marriages between man and woman who agree to be united after overcoming their differences in political affiliations seems to show her conservative proclivity to support the Union. However, by emphasizing the principles of freedom and equality represented by the significant role of Isabella and Rose, an African-American slave, in the victory of the American Revolution, Sedgwick also supports the spirit of the Jacksonian American democracy.

이 논문에서는 최근 단행된 정부조직 개편의 결과 탄생한 미래창조과학부와 방송통신위원회 등의 소관 법률의 가장 최상위의 ICT관련 법제의 정비와 아울러 기본법으로서의 성격을 갖는 ICT특별법에 담겨야할 헌법적 차원이 기본 문제와 몇 가지 쟁점들에 대해 이론적 실제적 차원에서 논의하였다. 정보통신기술의 발전은 인류의 생활방식을 혁명적으로 변화 시켰으며, 전지구적 차원의 네트워크 사회의 출현은 경제적 사회적 기회와 혜택을 제공 하였지만 동시에 도전과 위협의 이슈가 끊임없이 제기되고 있다. 기술발전에 따른 많은 장점에도 불구하고 디지털 혁명으로 인하여 인류가 누리게 된 인터넷 등 온라인 매체를 통한 사이버공간은 현실적으로 해결해야 할 많은 문제들이 있다. 전송기술의 발전으로 인한 표현의 자유의 통로 확대와 경제적 기획 창출이라는 긍정적인 측면을 보다 발전시켜 나가기 위해서는 정보화로 인한 따른 부작용을 최소화하려는 노력이 절실하게 필요하다. 첫째, ICT특별법은 역사적으로 방송통신융합을 넘어선 미디어의 융합시대에 적헙하도록 규범화되어야 한다. 향후 정보화와 정보통신 기술 및 콘텐츠의 개발과 아울러 미디어 분야에서도 경제적 발전과 아울러 언론의 자유를 수호라는 두 가지의 정책을 모두 달성할 수 있는 근거규정이 마련되어야 한다. 둘째, 규범구조적 측면에서는 정부의 행위들은 모두 경제발전과 정보의 자유라는 목표를 달성하기 위한 것이라는 점을 깊이 명심해야 한다. 따라서 정치적 차원에서 말끔하게 해결되지 못한 조직개편의 문제점을 규범적 관점 해소함으로써 소모적 갈등의 발생가능성을 최소화할 수 있도록 노력해야 한다. 셋째, ICT특별법은 미래부가 소관하는 정보통신분야, 유료 방송분야, 디지털미디어 콘텐츠 분야를 모두 포괄하는 내용의 기본법적 성격을 가지는 규범이어야 한다. 넷째, 기술적인 관점에서는 ICT융합으로 인해 발생하는 망중립성의 문제, 디지털 콘텐츠를 둘러싼 이해관계의 대립 등 다양한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있어야 한다. ICT특별법은 정보화를 통해 일방적으로 효율성이나 산업의 발전만을 추구하는 것이 아니라, 정보화가 국민의 삶의 질을 높이고 우리 사회의 민주화를 촉진할 수 있도록 제도의 설계와 구축하는 것을 목표로 하여야 한다. 향후 이번 ICT특별법의 입안과정에서 논의하고 있는 다양한 관점들을 참고하여 정보통신기술의 강국임과 동시에 정보인권분야에서도 한 발 앞서가는 계기가 마련되어야 한다.

아르헨티나 보수 개신교의 정치 참여를 다루는 이 글은 이러한 정치 참여가 민주주의적 가치나 질서에 미치는 영향에 살펴보고자 했다. 특히 종교적 평등과 자유, 그리고 동성 결혼과 성 교육 문제를 둘러싼, 오순절을 포함한 보수 개신교계의 움직임에 초점을 맞췄다. 먼저 식민지 시대와 군사정권의 종교차별적인 정책을 바로잡아 모든 종교의 동등한 대우를 주장했던 개신교 측의 요구는 정치적 평등과 인권 존중을 골자로 하는 민주적인 사회를 전제한다면 지극히 당연하고 자명한 것이고, 아르헨티나 사회의 묵은 과제의 해결을 지향한 것으로 사회의 민주화에 일조했다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 동성 결혼과 성교육 문제와 관련해 보면 사뭇 다르다. 사회적 약자나 소수자의 상황이나 이들의 권익을 옹호하려는 입법 취지에 고려 없이, 개신교 내부에서조차 그 해석을 둘러싸고 이견을 보이는, 경전의 가르침이나 그에 기반을 둔 윤리만을 고집한다. 이러한 신정주의적 관점과 배타주의적 태도는 무엇보다도 다른 종교나 생각을 가진 사람들, 결혼이나 성에 대한 다른 선택을 하거나 다른 생각을 갖고 있는 사람들의 인권이나 자유를 심각하게 침해할 수 있어, 다원성에 기반을 둔 민주적 질서와 가치에 심각한 위협이 될 수 있다.
