  • It appears our global society and economy are here to stay, despite current events. Mass communications including The Internet, increased world travel, and more and more consumers developing the ability to afford consumer goods, are all helping to bring world cultures closer together. Indeed, the world is rapidly changing and the fashion consumer, is especially affected. Despite the increased commonalities of peoples of the world, culture is a concept crucial to the understanding of consumer behavior. Marketers must understand the values, ethics, and customs of societies around the world to be successful in the global marketplace.

  • In modern conditions of world economic development the integral element of stable social and economic development of the separate countries of the world is the level of their transport infrastructure development, on the one hand capability to effectively provide economic communications between regions inside the country, and capability to integrate into world economic. The condition of a transport infrastructure and its possibility in sphere of maintenance of national participants of foreign trade are reflected in many respects on competitiveness of production, made by them, in the world market and, as consequence, on a country role in economic.

  • In this paper, we proposed that the secure communication method for build small world. In order to secure communication in the small world, we used Chua's oscillator which well represent the chaos dynamics and composed several stage with Chua's oscillator by using coupled synchronization method. This paper shows a secure communication result in the small world network using coupled synchronization method.

  • This article is concerned with the withdrawal of the compositional principle of Jinogigut which has been performed in Seoul and the identification of its meaning based on the withdrawal. Jinogigut is a world where a god is connected to humans in complicated manners, this world and the world of the dead coexist, and it is a process of demonstrating that the dead, who have stayed in the world of humans, enter the world of a god. Jinogigut shows the process of leading the dead to the world of the dead one after another. First, the god-centered street is continued, and the gut displays through which process a god will guide the dead to the world of the dead. Next, is a human-centered street, which exhibits the appearance of the dead heading to the world of the dead following the death angel, more in detail. Finally, a human-centered structure shows how humans enter the world of the dead. Through this repetition, it reveals that the dead take a seat in the world of the dead, at last. The organization of the later part of the world of the dead-oriented gut in Jinogigut, which is god-centered, continues to a human-centered gut through the meeting between a god and humans. and , which are continued, followed by , are ceremonial rituals that confirm the dead entering the world of the dead without any problem. Begareugi shows that the entering of the dead into the world of the dead was completed with perfection by cutting hemp cloth, and informs the living that the dead expressed gratitude for holding the ritual for him/her by appearing at the venue of the gut once again and that the dead settled into the world of death. , which finally holds ancestral rites to the god of ancestors who is seated in the world of the dead, reveals that the dead, who had been a human, has been transformed into the god of ancestors through Jinogigut. Jinogigut also performs the function of comforting a client (who is the family of the dead) of the gut, who has faced a sudden death in his/her family. What is the most important for consoling the client is to display that the dead has entered the world of the dead without any problem. Jinogigut shows this process through a three-layered structure. It exhibits how the dead would be moved to the world of gods, as well as the safe entering of the dead who followed Jeoseung-saja(envoy from the world of the dead) and who had appeared to this world from the world of the dead. Then, it demonstrates again the appearance of the dead entering the world of the dead following Barigongu; thus, it placates the heart of the client's family.

  • OWL is an ontology language for the Semantic Web, and suited to modelling the knowledge of a specific domain in the real-world. Ontology also can infer new implicit knowledge from the explicit knowledge. However, the modeled knowledge cannot be complete as the whole of the common-sense of the human cannot be represented totally. Ontology do not concern handling nonmonotonic reasoning to detect incomplete modeling such as the integrity constraints and exceptions. A default rule can handle the exception about a specific class in ontology. Integrity constraint can be clear that restrictions on class define which and how many relationships the instances of that class must hold. In this paper, we propose a practical reasoning system for open and closed-world reasoning that supports a novel hybrid integration of ontology based on open world assumption (OWA) and non-monotonic rule based on closed-world assumption (CWA). The system utilizes a method to solve the problem which occurs when dealing with the incomplete knowledge under the OWA. The method uses the answer set programming (ASP) to find a solution. ASP is a logic-program, which can be seen as the computational embodiment of non-monotonic reasoning, and enables a query based on CWA to knowledge base (KB) of description logic. Our system not only finds practical cases from examples by the Protege, which require non-monotonic reasoning, but also estimates novel reasoning results for the cases based on KB which realizes a transparent integration of rules and ontologies supported by some well-known projects.
