  • Since nursing has come of age both as a profession and as a scholarly discipline, there has been increasing concern with delineating its theory base. In 1978 Chinn and Jacobs asserted that “the development of theory is the most crucial task facing nursing today.” The basic building blocks of theories are concepts. Concept formation begins in infancy, for concepts help us to categorize and organize our environmental stimuli. Concepts help us to identify how our experiences are similar or equivalent by categorizing all the things that are alike about them. concepts can be primitive, concrete, or abstract. Concept Analysis is a strategy that examines the attributes or characteristics of a concept. It is a formal, linguistic exercise to determine those defining attributes. It encourages communication. Its basic purpose is to distinguish between the defining and irrelevant attributes of a concept similarities. It is a process of determining the differences between concepts and it is useful for several reasons. It is an excellent way to begin examining information in preparation for research or theory construction and results in an operational definition and a list of defining attributes and antecedents. It provides the scientist with an excellent beginning for a new tool, is an excellent way of evaluating an old one and is useful in evaluating existing instruments. The steps of concept analysis are : 1. Select a concept, 2. Determine the aims or purposes of the analysis, 3. Identify all uses of the concept that you can discover, 4. Determine the defining attributes, 5. Construct a model case, 6. Construct borderline, re-lated, contrary, invented, and illegitimate cases, 7. Identify antecedents and consequences, 8. Define empirical referents. In this paper, the concept selected for analysis was Love. The concept of love is of great interest to nursing because loving care is considered vital to the nursing care of patients. The aims of the concept analysis of love were to clarify the meaning of love, to develop an operational definition for it and to contribute to existing nursing theory. Love influences the quality of life which is the goal of nursing according to Parse in her Human Becoming Theory. Lived experiences are the entities for study in Parse's Research Methodology. Human caring, human understanding, and human becoming are the most important issues in lived experiences. In this research, dictionaries and literature from nursing philosophy and other human disciplines were used to identify the concept of love. As many different instances of the concept as could be found were examinned. The model case was a real life example of the use of the concept. Next borderline, related, invented, and contrary cases were constructed for the purpose of providing examples of “not the concept” and for promoting further understanding of the concept being discussed. The defining attributes of the concept of love were concern, responsibility, respect, understanding and dedication. Love was defined as showing concern and understanding. relating with mutual respect and dedicating oneself responsibly to others. Concept analysis is a highly creative activity and may add significant new information to a given area of interest. It is a strategy for developing a concept based on observation or other forms of empirical evidence. The purpose of concept analysis is to generate new ideas. It provides a method of examining data for new insights that contribute to theoretical development. This concept analysis suggests that a nurse’s love for patients is shown in the process of giving oneself in mutual relationships of responsibility and respect and in continuously providing understanding and quality human care for them.

  • First, we can define how our body perceives the external world and embodies its senses through the philosopher Merleau - Ponty. These philosophical orientations of Merleau-Ponty also appear to urban theorists such as Jane Jacobs, Gordon Cullen, and Juhani Pallasmaa. In other words, after the Second World War, people began to pay attention to human emotions and perceptions while opposing human rational thinking. Especially, they reject the abstract space of modernism and explore the everyday city space where the local character of the area lives. This place is a space where the collective memory of the group is shared over several generations. So, in this space, people's active perceptual system works actively. In the sense of this continuity of time, their ideas intersect with the concept of urban. Specifically, Jacobs criticizes massive development and proposes the development of a small block-based city with a commonality of old and new. In addition, we argue that urban space can be a visually interesting object through the continuous visual concept of urban theorist Cullen. In particular, he rediscovers the value of traditional urban space through visual experience between architecture and urban facilities. Finally, the architectural city theorist, Pallasmaa., criticizes the visual centrality of modern cities and thinks about the value of multidisciplinary space that can be experienced in architecture. This study examines the space of reproduction in detail on the perspective of the body philosophy and urban theorists. In other words, the play space inherits the natural city time, so when our body experiences this play space, we can actively sense and perceive the various senses. So we can invoke the active external actions of our bodies. Through the analysis of the size of the reconstruction space of the architectural city, various types of body senses and responses can be. Yoon Dongju Literary Museum, which renovated the old water tank of the city, can recognize the unfamiliar sense of body in everyday life through the traces and smells of water in the past and the restrained visuality. In addition, Seonyudo Park, which regenerates the waste water purification plant, can experience a phenomenal phenomenon through water space, old concrete and traces of steel. Finally, with the most recently played Seoul Road 7017 can experience interesting urban spaces in terms of a variety of plants, a human scale space creating movement, and a continuous visual.

  • In the 17th and 18th centuries, when the Ryukyu kingdom had been invaded and controlled by Japan, some official texts about 'history' were documented. In that texts, there are some myths about the kings-Syunten(舜天), Eiso(英祖), Satto(察度), Syouhasi(尙巴志), Syouen(尙圓)-who founded dynasties of Ryukyu kingdom. This study attempts to delineate the features and meaning of those founder myths as a polotial discourse for kingship. The results of this study are as follows. 1. The founder myths are discourses to describe the genealogy of the Ryukyu kingdom as the result of Mandate of Heaven(T'ien Ming, 天命). 2. In ancient okinawa, the sun was a symbol of ruler. The king of Ryukyu kingdom was thought as 'son of the sun', 'Tedako(てだこ, 太陽子) in the time of Syou dynasty(尙王朝). But in the founder myths, the only one Tedako is Eiso. 3. In the myths, the 'historical' founders are described as the king for agriculture. They were said to make the farming instruments with iron and rule the spring water for farming. The iron and water for fariming was thought to represent the power of king and the kingship. 4. The writers of myths aimed to be separated from the mythical kingship of past Ryukyu(古琉球). So, they threw the idea of Tedako(=mythical kingship) into the prison of mythical ages by rewriting myth of King Eiso. Instead of it, they built up the new image of agriculture-king who rules and controlls the iron and water for good farming. The meaing of this change, from 'shiny sun' to 'cultural king', is that the abstract and general power of kingship was turned into a concrete and restricted power of kingship. On the bases of it, there was the confucian political ideas from China, T'ien Ming thought(天命論). Under the influence of not only China but also Japan, the writers of myths attempt to find a new way for their kingdom by reconstructing kingship with ruminating over the kingship of past. The myth of founders in the 17th and 18th Centuries shows the aspects of kingship of Ryukyu kingdom and tells us that those myths are the political discourses identifying kingship and Ryukyu kingdom.

  • 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.

  • 생물학 영역에서 혈액 순환은 복잡하고 추상적인 개념으로 학생들이 이해하기 어렵고, 오개념이 많아 수업 후에도 쉽게 변화하지 않는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 혈액 순환 개념의 존재론적 속성에 따른 학생들의 개념 이해도를 학교 급별로 조사 분석하고, 혈액 순환에 대한 학생들의 이해 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 연구는 세 부분으로 나누어 진행하였다. 첫째로, 순환 개념을 심장, 혈관, 혈액 순환으로 구분하여, 각 개념의 구조, 기능, 행동, 기작 요소별로 학생들의 이해를 알아보기 위한 개념 검사지를 개발하였다. 두 번째로 개념 검사지를 중학교, 고등학교, 대학교 학생들에게 적용하여 순환 개념의 요소별로 학교 급에 따라 개념 이해 수준이 어떻게 다른지를 비교하고, 학생들의 순환 경로의 유형을 구분하였다. 마지막으로 개념이해가 낮은 요소에 대한 개념의 존재론적 범주를 분석하여 그 특성을 파악함으로써, 개념의 범주 간 이동을 촉진시키는 수업 전략을 구성하는데 도움을 주고자 하였다. 본 연구 결과, 혈액순환 개념 중 구조나 기능 요소는 중학생, 고등학생, 대학생이 모두 높은 이해 수준을 보였고 학교 급별로 큰 차이가 없었으나, 행동이나 기작 요소에 대한 이해는 자연계열 고등학생과 대학생들에서 뚜렷하게 높아졌다. 학생들의 혈액 순환 모형은 7가지 유형으로 구분할 수 있었으며, 자연계열 고등학생들과 대학생들은 이중 분지형의 비율이 다른 학교 급에 비해 상대적으로 높았다. 또한 학생들의 순환 기작에 대한 존재론적 범주를 분석한 결과, 평형-독립적 범주의 개념을 사건-목적 범주로 인식하는 경우가 많아, 개념에 대한 잘못된 존재론적 범주의 인식이 개념 이해를 어렵게 한 원인으로 여겨진다.

  • 최근의 영화, 애니메이션, 드라마같은 영상 콘텐츠들은 기술과 장비의 발전에 힘입어 표현할 수 있는 영화적 상상의 영역을 빠른 속도로 넓혀가고 있다. 높아진 관객의 시각적 기대를 충족시키고 흥미진진한 스토리텔링과 환상적 세계를 구현하기 위해 서로 다른 기법간의 융합도 활발히 사용되어 지고 시각효과 및 영상 합성에 대한 리얼리티도 더욱 증대되고 있는 중이다. 그에 따라 최근의 컴퓨터그래픽스를 사용한 VFX중심의 영화들은 과거보다 더욱 복잡한 제작 프로세스를 가진다. 때문에 정교한 설계를 위해 기획 과정에서 '프리비즈'로 불리는 프리-비주얼라이제이션(Pre-visualization)의 중요성이 더욱 크게 대두되고 있다. 프리비즈는 영화나 애니메이션의 본 제작에 들어가기 전 기획단계에서 스토리나 연출아이디어에 대한 사전 시각화작업을 뜻한다. 오늘날 프리비즈는 컴퓨터그래픽스를 사용하여 3D애니메이션의 유형으로 구현이 되며 이러한 프리비즈를 3D animatied Pre-visualization이라고 한다. 추상적이고 모호한 감독의 생각들을 미리 3차원 환경에서 구체적으로 구현해 볼 수 있는 3D animatied Pre-visualization은 비주얼 스토리텔링의 막강한 수단으로써 현재 컴퓨터 그래픽을 광범위하게 사용하는 VFX 영화산업을 중심으로 활발히 사용되고 있고 프로덕션의 전반에 걸친 프리비즈의 역할도 과거에 비해 증대되었다. 그러나 그에 따른 프리비즈의 역할과 효용성에 관한 연구는 많지 않은 상태다. 이에 본 연구는 연구자가 제작에 참여한 3D animatied Pre-visualization의 제작사례를 중심으로 현재 VFX 영화 제작 시 활용되고 있는 프리비즈의 역할에 관해 연구를 진행하였다. 오늘날 세분화된 프리비즈의 역할을 스토리-비즈, 테크-비즈, 컨셉-비즈, 피칭-비즈, 포스트-비즈, 3D애니메틱스로 분류하고 각각의 역할에 관해 사례이미지와 함께 분석하였다. 이러한 역할에 관한 연구를 통해 프리비즈가 갖추어야하는 특성을 명확히 하였고 프로덕션에서 프리비즈의 활용이 불러오는 이점과 효용성에 관한 개념을 강화하였다. 본 연구는 국내 VFX영화 제작과정에서 프리비즈의 다양한 역할과 그에 따른 효용성에 대해 공감하여 프로덕션 전반에 걸친 활발한 사용을 유도하는 것에 의의가 있다.

  • In order that nursing care an essential quality of nursing practice be acceptable and satisfying, it is necessary that client's culture be respected and that nursing practice be appropriate to that culture. Since cultural elements are an important influence on health practices and life patterns related to medical treatment, recovery from and prevention of disease, nurses need to have an understanding and knowledge of social and cultural phenomena to aid in the planning of nursing interventions. To understand the health practices surrounding health and illness, the health beliefs and practices of both folk and professional healing systems should be ascertained. Cultural data are required to provide care of high quality to clients and to reduce possible conflict between the client and the nurse. It is nursing's goal to provide clients from various cultures with quality nursing care which is satisfying and valuable. The problem addressed by this study was to identify Korean health practices which would contribute to the planning of professional caring practice with the culture : ultimately this study was intended to make a contribution to the development of the science of nursing. The concrete objectives of this study were ; 1) to identify Korean health practices, 2) to interpret the identitial health practices through traditional cultural thought, and 3) to compare the Korean health practices with those of other cultures. The investigator used the ethnosceintific approach outlined by spradly in a qualitative study. To discover ancestral wisdom and knowledge related to traditional health practeces, the subjects of this study were selected from residents of a small rural mountain village in south west Korea, a place considered to be maintaining and transmitting the traditional culture in a relatively well -preserved state because of being isolated from the modern world. The number of subjects was 18, aged 71 to 89. Research data were collected from January 8 to March 31, 1990. Five categories of health practices were identified : “Manage one's own mind”, “Moderation in all thing”, “Live in accord with nature”, “Live in mutuality with others”, and “Live to the best of one's ability”. Values derived from these ways of thinking from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism help fashion a traditional way of life, examplified by the saying “Benifience to all”. Korean thought and philosophy is influenced primerily by Confucianism, Confucian principles of ethics, embedded deeply in the peoples' minds, form the idea that “heaven and human being are intimately united” based on concept that “heaven is, so to speak, reason”. Twoe Gae's theory of existential subjectivity develops the concept of self which is the basis of the spirit of reverence in modern Confucian philosophy. The human md is granted from heaven out of the idea of matter, and what control the mind is the spirit of reverence. Hence the idea of “The primacy of the mind" and provided that one should control one's own mind. The precepts of duty to parents, respect for elders and worship of ancestors, and moderation in all behavior put a restraint on life which directed that one live earnestly according to Nature's laws with their neighbors. Not only Confucianism, but also Buddism and Taoism have had an important effect upon these patterns of ideas. When compared with western culture, Korean health practices tend to be more inclusive, abstract and intuitive while westerner health practices found to be mere concrete, practical and personal. Values and beliefs based and pragmatism and existentialism infuence western civilization, Ethical values may be founded on utilitarianism, which considers what is good for the persons in their circumstances as the basis of conduct and takes a serious view of their practical lives including human aspirations rather than an absolute truth. These philosophical and ethical ideas are foundations for health practices related to active, practical and progressive attitudes. This study should be enable nursing not only to understand clients as reflections of the traditional culture when planning nursing practice, but to dovelop health education corresponding to cultural requiments for the purpose of protection against disease and improvement of health, and thus promote sound health practice. Eventually it is hoped that through these processes quality nursing care as the central idea of the science of nursing will be achieved.

  • Foreigners who arrived in Korea after the age of enlightenment were Japanese, Chinese and 'Westerners' who were Europeans and Americans. The westerners were diplomats who visited Korea for colonization or for increasing their economical profits by trading after the spread of imperialism, and tourists curious of back countries, artists, explores and missionaries to perform their roles for their religious beliefs. They contacted with Korean cultural and educational people as missionaries and instructors during Japanese colonial period. In 1945, the allied forces occupied Korea under the name of takeover of Japanese colony after Japan's surrender and the relation between foreigners and Korean cultured men enter upon a new phase. For 3 years, American soldiers enforced lots of systems in Korea and many pro-American people were educated. This relationship lasted even after the establishment of the government of Korean Republic and especially, diplomats called as pro-Korean group came again after Korean War. Among them, there were lots of foreigners interested in cultures and arts. In particular, government officials under American Forces who were influential on political circles or diplomats widened their insights toward Korean cultural assets and collected them a lot. Those who were in Korea from the period of independence to 1950s wrote their impressions about Korean cultural assets on newspapers or journals after visiting contemporary Korean exhibitions. Among them, A. J. McTaggart, Richard Hertz and the Hendersons were dominant. They thought the artists had great interests in compromising and uniting the Orient and the West based on their knowledge of Korean cultural assets and they advised. However, it was different from Korean artist's point of view that the foreigners thought Korean art adhered oriental features and contained western contents. From foreigners' point of view, it is hard to understand the attitude Korean artists chose to keep their self-respect through experiencing the Korean war. It is difficult to distinguish their thought about Korean art based on their exotic taste from the Korean artists' local and peninsular features under Japanese imperialism. We can see their thought about Korean art and their viewpoint toward the third world, after staying in Korea for a short period and being a member of the first world. The basic thing was that they could see the potentialities through the worldwide, beautiful Korean cultural assets and they thought it was important to start with traditions. It is an evidence showing Korean artists' pride in regard to the art culture through experiencing the infringement of their country. By writing about illuminating Korean art from the third party's view, foreigners represented their thoughts through it that their economical, military superiority goes with their cultural superiority. The Korean artist's thought of emphasizing Korean history and traditions, reexamining and using it as an original creation may have been inspired by westerners' writings. 'The establishment of national art' that Korean artists gave emphasis then, didn't only affect one of the reactions toward external impact, 'the adhesion of tradition'. In the process of introducing Korean contemporary art and national treasure in America, different view caused by role differences-foreigner as selector and Korean as assistant-showed the fact evidently that the standard of beauty differed between them. By emphasizing that the basis to classify Korean cultural assets is different from the neighborhood China and Japan, they tried to reflect their understanding that the feature of Korean art is on speciality other than universality. And this make us understand that even when Korean artists profess modernism, they stress that the roots are on Korean and oriental tradition. It was obviously a different thought from foreigners' view on Korean art that Korean artists' conception of modernism and traditional roots are inherent in Korean history. In 1950s, after the independence, Korea had different ideas from foreigners that abstract was to be learned from the west. Korea was enduring tough times with their artists' self-respect which made them think that they can learn the method, but the spirit of abstract is in the orient.

  • 캐나다 AECL이 사용후핵연료 관리 방법으로 심지층 처분 방식을 제시하였으나, Seaborn Panel은 이 방안에는 사회적 수용성이 결여되어 있음을 지적하였다. 이에 따라 캐나다는 사용후 핵연료 관리에 위해 보다 폭넓은 사람들의 참여를 유도할 수 있는 공론화 프로그램이 필요하다는 것을 인식하고 먼저 핵연료폐기물법 (Nuclear Fuel Waste Act, NFWA) 을 제정하였다. NFWA에 따라 Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) 가 설립되었다. 전문가들이 마련한 세 가지 관리 방법 가운데서 사회적으로 수용 가능하고 기술적으로 안전하며, 환경적으로 책임질 수 있고 경제적으로 실행 가능한 사용후핵연료 장기적 관리방안을 마련하는 것을 NWMO의 임무로 지정하였다. 그러나 이 세가지 관리 방안 중 어느 것도 적합하지 않다고 판단할 때는 제 4의 대안을 고려하는 예외 조항을 두었다. 결과적으로 NWMO는 위의 3가지 방안의 장점 및 특징을 바탕으로 하여 제 4의 대안인 Adaptive Phased Management (APM; 융통성 있는 단계적 관리) 방식을 제안하였다. 이 대안은 실행 단계에서라도 어떤 기술적 발전이나 변화가 생겼을 때 이를 받아들이도록 고안되었다. 캐나다의 사용후핵연료 공론화 과정은 연구 개발 프로그램이 사회적 수용성과 얼마나 깊게 연관되어 있는지를 잘 보여준다. 다시 말해, 비록 자세한 기술적인 연구 개발은 전문 과학자에 의해 수행되어야 하지만, 연구 개발의 객관적인 타당성 확보를 위해서는 대중을 의사 결정 과정에 참여시키고 대중의 의견을 수렴하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 또한 공정성, 공공의 건강과 안전, 안보, 적용성 등과 같은 원칙들을 확보하기 위하여 NWMO는 이와 같은 추상적인 개념들을 대중이 이해하도록 노력하였다. 가능한 많은 대중을 프로그램에 참여시키기 위하여 공론화 회의뿐 아니라 e-dialogue 등과 같이 다양한 의사소통 방법을 사용하였다. 현재 사용후핵연료 관리 방안을 둘러싸고 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 우리나라의 입장에서 생각할 때, 캐나다 공론화 과정은 우리나라가 앞으로 적절한 사용후핵연료 관리 방안을 찾는 데 많은 교훈과 시사점을 제공할 수 있다. 결과적으로, 숙의적 참여방법의 하나인 공론화 방안이 우리나라에서도 사용후핵연료 문제를 해결하는 하나의 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다.
