Background: This study was a long-term evaluation of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{90}Sr$ activity concentrations in seawater samples from the East Sea, Korea, in order to establish current activity levels. Results and long-term monitoring trends will be useful in the future monitoring of environmental radioactivity. Materials and Methods: Surface seawater samples were collected quarterly from Guryongpo and Jangho in the East Coast between 1998 and 2010 and the quarterly deep seawater samples were collected from three sites in the sea adjacent to Ulleung-do between 2012 and 2015. The activity concentrations of $^{137}Cs$ were measured using a gamma-spectrometer. The activity concentrations of $^{90}Sr$ and $^{90}Y$ in a radioactive equilibrium state were measured using a gas flow proportional counter. Results and Discussion: We found the annual average activity concentrations of $^{137}Cs$ in the surface seawater was $1.66-2.89mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in Guryongpo and $1.68-2.43mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in Jangho. The annual average activity concentrations of $^{90}Sr$ in the surface seawater was $0.83-1.98mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in Guryongpo and $0.82-1.57mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in Jangho. The annual average activity concentrations of $^{137}Cs$ in the deep seawater sites were $1.51-1.73mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, $1.19-1.60mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and $0.87-1.15mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in TH, JD, and HP. The annual average activity concentrations of $^{90}Sr$ in the same deep seawater sites were $1.00-1.94mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, $0.82-1.26mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, and $0.79-1.32mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$. The effective half-life was calculated by analyzing change over time in the activity concentration in the surface seawater. The effective half-life of $^{137}Cs$ was $15.3{\pm}0.1years$ in Guryongpo and $102{\pm}3years$ in Jangho. The effective half-life of $^{90}Sr$ was $28.3{\pm}4.3years$ in Guryongpo and $16.6{\pm}0.1years$ in Jangho. The ratio of the average activity concentration ($^{137}Cs/^{90}Sr$) was 1.72 in the surface seawater, which is similar to the reported ratio of the global radioactive fallout. The ratio in the deep seawater was 1.24, which is somewhat low compared to the global ratio (1.6, 1.8). Conclusion: Activity concentrations of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{90}Sr$ in the seawaters of the East Sea were similar to the previously reported activity levels in the East Sea and northwestern Pacific as a result of global radioactive fallout following atmospheric nuclear weapon tests.

국제법의 한 분야로서 국제 항공법상 무인항공기의 개념은 일련의 법률 체계내에서 규정되지 않고 있다. 무인항공기의 국제법상 규율은 국제 항공법상의 항공기, 특히 민간항공기와 국가항공기 개념의 유추 적용에 의존한다. 현재까지의 군용항공기와 민간항공기의 영공진입에 대한 국가의 태도와 학설상 인정된 국제관습법의 시각에서 무인항공기의 영공진입의 경우를 살펴볼 때, 무인항공기는 군용항공기로 국가들이 인식하고 있다고 추정된다. 무인항공기의 법적지위와 구분이 국제조약상 명확하지 않으나, 군용항공기의 관련 법규범이 무인항공기에 유추 적용된다고 판단된다. 다만, 무인항공기의 역사가 아직은 짧고, 축적된 사례가 충분하지는 않다는 점에서, 새로운 내용이 제기되고 법률적인 판단이 필요할 여지는 있다고 판단된다. 무인항공기는 새로운 무기 체계로서 정책 결정자들에게 새로운 수단과 가능성을 열어주었다. 특히 국가간의 전면적인 전쟁이 아닌, 새로운 형태의 전쟁이 진행되면서, 무인항공기는 다양한 정책적 선택의 폭을 넓혀주었다. 그중의 하나는 2차대전 이후에 정치적 정당성을 얻고 있는 이른바 정밀타격("surgical measure", 이를 언론에서는 "외과수술적 조치"라고 표현하기도 함)의 하나인 표적공격(targeted killing)의 수단으로서 무인항공기의 사용이다. 또한 9/11 테러라는 중대한 사건을 맞이하여 시작된 새로운 형태의 전쟁에서 무인항공기는 표적 공격만이 아닌 하나의 전쟁 수단으로서 등장하게 되었다. 무인항공기의 무력공격은 테러에 대한 무력 대응이 정치적 정당성을 얻으면서 시행되었고, 은밀하고 작은 규모의 표적 공격만이 아니라 하나의 전쟁 수단으로서 합법성이 주장되고 있다. 그리고 그 합법성의 논거는 테러에 대한 대응이 전쟁상태에 이른다는 전쟁상태론에서 찾아진다. 달리 말하면 전쟁상태론이 암살을 표적공격으로 합법화하고, 그 표적공격이 그래서 전쟁의 한 전략이고, 그 전략을 시행하는 수단이 무인항공기이다. 무인항공기 무력공격의 적법성에 관한 논의의 그러한 정치적 배경을 고려한다면, 무인항공기 무력공격을 둘러싼 국제 관습법의 형성은 아직 기대하기 어렵다고 판단된다. 무인항공기 PMF는 국제 조약 및 관습법상 아직까지 아무런 규율이 미치지 않는 영역이다. 다만 미국의 무인항공기 PMF 사례에 나타난 바와 같이, 미국의 국내법 및 무인항공기 PMF와의 계약의 영역에서 규율이 이루어진다고 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 북한의 헤테로토피아적 장소성을 한 측면으로 점화시킬 수 있음을 대응표본 t-test를 통해 검증하는 것이다. 북한에 다양한 인도적 활동을 펼치고 있는 재미교포들은 북한의 이중적 장소성을 인지하고 있으며 기독교적 노스탤지어와 전시도시로서 평양의 특수성에 주목한다. 북한은 한민족 공간이자 폐쇄적 독재국가이며, 고립과 폐쇄로 일관하지만 의도적으로 경제특구와 같은 개방시스템을 침투시키는 경계공간을 두고 있다. 또한 특정계급공간으로서 평양의 특수성이 두드러진다는 점에서 헤테로토피아적 특성을 갖는다. 민족의 명산이지만 한국 관광객 총살사고가 일어난 금강산, 기네스북에 등재될 정도로 기교가 뛰어나지만 인권유린으로 이루어진 아리랑 공연, 김소월의 고향이자 '진달래 꽃'시의 배경인 동시에 핵시설로 세계에 알려진 영변이 갖는 이러한 헤테로토피아적 장소성을 점화 실험을 통해 그 효과를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 금강산 관광은 뚜렷한 점화 효과를 발견하지 못하였고, 체제 선전을 위한 인문 경관인 아리랑 공연은 호감도가 다소 떨어졌다. 극단적인 장소성을 갖는 영변은 부정적 자극에 대한 점화 효과가 유의미하게 나타났다. 본 연구는 북한의 다면적 장소성이 통일에 기여하는 방향으로 의도적으로 강조되거나 변화될 수 있음을 시사한다는 데 그 의의가 있다.

무기체계 효과도 분석을 위한 국방M&S 분야는 실 전장환경과 유사한 무기체계 실험 환경을 제공하는 현실적인 수단으로 인정받고 있다. 국방 분야에서 군의 전투개념이 플랫폼 중심 전투(PCW, Platform Centric Warfare)에서 네트워크 중심전투(NCW, Network Centric Warfare)으로 변화됨에 따라 무기체계 효과도 분석 및 이의 군사적 활용에서 스마트폰을 적용하려는 시도가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 국방 M&S분야의 무기체계 효과도 분석 시, 기존 모델을 스마트폰에 적용하기 위해 클라이언트/서버 방식으로 재작성 해야 하는 비용, 특정 기기 및 OS에 따른 중복 개발 비용, 대규모 데이터 교환방법 및 보안의 부재는 무기체계 효과도 분석에 스마트폰의 사용을 어렵게 만든다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰을 무기체계 효과도 분석에 활용하기 위한 Smartphone Adaptor를 설계하고 구현한다. Smartphone Adaptor는 스마트폰의 GPS, motion정보 등과 같은 입력 데이터를 시뮬레이터에 전달하고 시뮬레이터로부터 시뮬레이션 진행상황 및 결과값을 받는 일련의 과정을 자동화하여 모델 작성비용을 절감한다. 또한 JSON과 SEED암호화 알고리즘을 통해 보안이 필요한 데이터에 대한 효율적 전송이 가능하도록 하였다. Smartphone Adaptor는 무기체계 효과도 분석 과정을 지원하는 통합시뮬레이션 엔진인 OpenSIM(Open Simulation engine for Interoperable Models)에 적용되었다. 본 논문에서는, 화생방 시뮬레이터에 스마트폰을 Live장비로서 활용하는 예제를 통해, 국방 M&S를 위한 Live 시뮬레이션 제작에 Smartphone Adaptor가 효과적으로 상용될 수 있음을 보인다.

Paradigm depending only on fossil fuel for building heat source is rapidly changing. Accelerating the change, as it has been known, is obligation for reducing green house gas coming from use of fossil fuel, i.e. reaction to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In addition, factors such as high oil price, unstable supply, weapon of petroleum and oil peak, by replacing fossil fuel, contributes to advance of environmental friendly renewable energy which can be continuously reusable. Therefore, current new energy policies, beyond enhancing effectiveness of heat using equipments, are to make best efforts for national competitiveness. Our country supports 11 areas for new renewable energy including sun light, solar heat and wind power. Among those areas, ocean thermal energy specifies tidal power generation using tide of sea, wave and temperature differences, wave power generation and thermal power generation. But heat use of heat source from sea water itself has been excluded as non-utilized energy. In the future, sea water heat source which has not been used so far will be required to be specified as new renewable energy. This research is to survey local heating system in Europe using sea water, central solar heating plants, seasonal thermal energy store and to analyze large scale central solar heating plants in German. Seasonal thermal energy store necessarily need to be equipped with large scale thermal energy store. Currently operating central solar heating system is a effective method which significantly enhances sharing rate of solar heat in a way that stores excessive heat generating in summer and then replenish insufficient heat for winter. Construction cost for this system is primarily dependent on large scale seasonal heat store and this high priced heat store merely plays its role once per year. Since our country is faced with 3 directional sea, active research and development for using sea water heat as cooling and heating heat source is required for seashore villages and building units. This research suggests how to utilize new energy in a way that stores cooling heat of sea water into seasonal thermal energy store when temperature of sea water is its lowest temperature in February based on West Sea and then uses it as cooling heat source when cooling is necessary. Since this method utilizes seasonal thermal energy store from existing central solar heating plant for heating and cooling purpose respectively twice per year maximizing energy efficiency by achieving 2 seasonal thermal energy store, active research and development is necessarily required for the future.

These days, the environment of hospital marketing is changing rapidly. The level of expectation and demand of patients have become greater and more diversified, and patients have more alternatives in selecting hospitals. The standard of hospital selection and the type of using hospital have been changed, and competition among hospitals has been accelerated due to the opening of the medical market through globalization. Accordingly, differentiation strategies are critical in hospital marketing. The quality of medical service oriented toward patient satisfaction becomes a strong strategic weapon to secure a hospital's competitive advantage. Therefore, marketing and communication strategies should be focused on patient-oriented, rather than hospital-oriented. Considering the changes in the hospital environment and the increase in the patients' expectation level, this study categorizes doctors' communication styles into four different ones: trust-type, professional-type, cooperation-type, and control-type. The effects of these communication styles on patient satisfaction were empirically examined. The moderating roles of the patient's characteristics and clinical characteristics between the doctors' communication styles and patient satisfaction were also investigated to find out managerial implications for hospital management. To achieve such goals, data were collected from patients of 12 general hospitals in Busan. The data were analyzed to test research hypotheses that examine 1) the relationships between doctors' communication styles and patient satisfaction, 2) the moderating roles of the patient characteristics and clinical characteristics in the research model, and 3) the impact of patient satisfaction on positive word-of-mouth and repurchase. The following summarizes the major results of this research. First, the data showed that patient satisfaction varied across doctors' communication styles. Trust-type style had the strongest impact on patient satisfaction while control-type style had the weakest influence on patient satisfaction. Professional-type style and cooperation-type style also had positive effects on patient satisfaction but the impact of the two are not statistically different. Second, significant differences in terms of patient satisfaction were found depending upon demographic variables such as gender, marital status, age, occupation, and education. Patient satisfaction, however, was consistent across varying income groups. Third, patients' medical insurance types were also related to patient satisfaction. It implies that a doctor may need to use different communication styles depending on a patient's medical insurance type. Fourth, out-patient and in-patient showed a different level of satisfaction with varying communication styles. Fifth, highly professional knowledge and strong control can influence patient satisfaction depending on the characteristics of the patient treatment field. Sixth, patient satisfaction were proved to have significantly positive effects on word-of-mouth and repurchase. The implications drawn from this study must be tempered by its limitations. First of all, the subjects used in this study were patients in Busan and small- and medium-size hospitals were excluded from the research. Therefore, future research should examine the research model by using a variety of hospitals and clinics throughout Korea. Another research agenda has to do with finding more determinant and moderating variables which will increase an explanatory power of the model. In short, this study may be the first empirical research that investigates the effects of doctors' communication styles on patient satisfaction. Interestingly enough, the results showed that each communication style had a unique impact on patient satisfaction. The findings from this research can be very useful in developing hospital marketing strategies.

The purpose of this paper is to look at USN's efforts to rebuild its combat power in the face of a reemergence of great powers competition, and to propose some recommendations for the ROKN. In addition to the plan to augment its fleet towards a 355-ships capacity, the USN is pursuing to improve exponentially combat lethality(quality) of its existing fleet by means of innovative science and technology. In other words, the USN is putting its utmost efforts to improve readiness of current forces, to modernize maintenance facilities such as naval shipyards, and simultaneously to invest in innovative weapons system R&D for the future. After all, the USN seems to pursue innovations in advanced military Science & Technology as the best way to ensure continued supremacy in the coming strategic competition between great powers. However, it is to be seen whether the USN can smoothly continue these efforts to rebuild combat strength vis-a-vis its new competition peers, namely China and Russian navy, due to the stringent fiscal constraints, originating, among others, from the 2011 Budget Control Act effective yet. Then, it seems to be China's unilateral and assertive behaviors to expand its maritime jurisdiction in the South China Sea that drives the USN's rebuild-up efforts of the future. Now, some changes began to be perceived in the basic framework of the hitherto regional maritime security, in the name of declining sea control of the USN as well as withering maritime order based on international law and norms. However, the ROK-US alliance system is the most excellent security mechanism upon which the ROK, as a trading power, depends for its survival and prosperity. In addition, as denuclearization of North Korea seems to take significant time and efforts to accomplish in the years to come, nuclear umbrella and extended deterrence by the US is still noting but indispensible for the security of the ROK. In this connection, the naval cooperation between ROKN and USN should be seen and strengthened as the most important deterrents to North Korean nuclear and missile threats, as well as to potential maritime provocation by neighboring countries. Based on these observations, this paper argues that the ROK Navy should try to expand its own deterrent capability by pursuing selective technological innovation in order to prevent this country's destiny from being dictated by other powers. In doing so, however, it may be too risky for the ROK to pursue the emerging, disruptive innovative technologies such as rail gun, hypersonic weapon... etc., due to enormous budget, time, and very thin chance of success. This paper recommends, therefore, to carefully select and extensively invest on the most cost-effective technological innovations, suitable in the operational environments of the ROK. In particular, this paper stresses the following six areas as most potential naval innovations for the ROK Navy: long range precision strike; air and missile defense at sea; ASW with various unmanned maritime system (UMS) such as USV, UUV based on advanced hydraulic acoustic sensor (Sonar) technology; network; digitalization for the use of AI and big data; and nuclear-powered attack submarines as a strategic deterrent.

The purpose of this article is to examine the 'Discussion of maritime defense' which began to be discussed from the late Goryeo dynasty to the early Joseon dynasty and the process of establishing a maritime defense system. Also it can identify changes in the aspects of the naval ship operation and their strategic tactics during the reign of King Sejong. Japanese raiders began a full-scale invasion from 1350 at the late Goryeo Dynasty, So the government realized the need to raise the 'Sea power' and to organize the maritime defense system for defending enemy invasion. for example, the reinforcement of naval forces, construction of warships, develoment of weapon systems and so on. which have achieved remarkable growth while continuing, have also been used to carry out a three-time 'Conquest of Daemado' in 1389, 1396, 1419. Until then, however, it is difficult to interpret that the naval forces had a systematic and organizational combat operation system. According to fighting patterns on combat reports before the early days of King Sejong's reign, Our naval forces had no advantage over the Japanese raiders in terms of their capabilities and tactics. Then, the period of King Sejong marked a watershed in maritime defense history. Based on accumulated experience of naval battles and force Projections, The paradigm shift of the naval strategic tactics for maritime defense has occurred. First, the capability of the naval vessels has improved. for example, ship speed, durability, and weather resistance. Through these efforts, navy forces were able to pursue and attack, destroy enemy's ships by taking advantage of the 'Ship speed superiority'. This has led to tactical shifts from defensive to offensive. Second, purpose to support offensive tactics, the government put a strategic plan into practice that is the forward depolyment of naval bases from the inland to the coast, considering the 'sea environment' and 'threat'. By doing so, Joseon dynasty was able to secure 'the command of the sea'. This may be a little different from the perception of the so-called 'peace period' that King Sejong's era. We need to remember that Joseon dynasty was working hard for its defense. When studying history of maritime defense, these strategic and tactical elements must be fully considered. Only then we can have a coherent understanding of the many naval battles in the past, including the Imjin War(1592-1598).

The Russo-Japanese War(1904-1905) in the early 20th century greatly influenced the international politics in Northeast Asia and the destiny of both countries. There are many studies on the cause of the outbreak and its effect on the Korean peninsula. The victory and defeat of the battle of Tsushima also the subject of research by renowned scholars and navy officers. Many previous studies have analyzed the process of engagement. However, There was a lack of research that analyzed at the tactical level of naval commanders. Therefore, this study tries to review the battle of Tsushima in terms of tactical level, that is formation, maneuvering, damage control. Naval operations at sea with many variables are not always done as planned. The intuitive judgement and readiness have had a decisive impact on victory and defeat. The analysis of the naval warfare on the basis of formation, maneuvering, and damage control makes the cause of the win more clearly. The conclusion of the this study can be summarized in five ways. First, victory would be achieved through the suppression of the beginning. The destiny of the Tsushima battle was determined by an 1 hour after first firing. The Japanese fleet caught fire by paralyzing the command and control capabilities of the Russian fleet. Second, the Japanese fleet's power was superior to the Russian fleet. In general, Japan and Russia had similar powers, and Admiral Togo's "T crossing tactics" decisively contributed the victory. However, when compared to the weapon system level, formation and maneuvering, Japan was much more dominant. Third, people realized that one side to be annihilated in the battle between similar powers after the Tsushima battle. The common perception before the Battle of Tsushima was that the battle ship would not sunken, and that the result of wiping out was difficult. However, there is s time for one sided victory and defeat depending on the early suppression nad the destruction of the command and control ability. Fourth, it is the importance of damage control ability. The main cause of the Russian fleet's loss of command and control ability was thick smoke from fire, and maneuverability was greatly deteriorated due to coal overload. In this way, importance is still valid after more than 100 tears. Fifth, the area of uncertainty. In the navy battles, one or two shots of clear firing in the beginning and small misconception and minor mistakes decide win or loss. Ultimately, this area of fortune can be linked to mindset of the commander. I hope this research will be help to naval researchers and naval commanders at the sea.

국가는 "헌법"에 따라 국민의 안전을 확보하고, 생명 신체에 대한 위험으로부터 국민을 보호할 의무가 있다. 우리나라와 같이 북한의 화생방전 공격의 위협이 있는 국가에서는 국가의 기본권 보호의무의 이행차원에서 국민의 생명 신체를 보호하기 위한 법제를 마련하여야 한다. 현행 법제를 검토한 결과 전시상태에서 적용되는 "통합방위법", "민방위기본법"등 전시관련법은 전시상황에서 발생하거나 발생할 우려가 있는 화생방위험으로부터 국민을 보호하기 위한 법제로 충분치 못하다. 그러므로 국가는 "화생방사태시 국민보호에 관한 법률"을 제정하여 전시 화생방위험으로부터 국민을 보호할 수 있는 체계를 구축하여야 한다. 이 논문은 이와 같은 결론을 도출하기 위하여, 전시사태에서 국민을 보호해야 하는 헌법상 국가의 보호의무의 이론적 논의, 화생방에 특수하게 국민보호조치가 필요한 이유와 이에 따른 입법적 정비방안의 방향 제시, "화생방사태시 국민보호에 관한 법률"의 다른 법률과의 관계와 이 법에 포함되어야 하는 사항을 정리하였다.
