본 논문은 아프리카 대륙의 식민 역사에 대한 소고이다. 아프리카 대륙은 고대 그리스와 고대 이집트 시기부터 '인류의 고향' 혹은 '따뜻한 지역' 등으로 불리던 인류의 발원지였다. 하지만 강력한 군사력과 경제력을 바탕으로 한 서양 국가들은 15세기부터 아프리카 대륙 곳곳을 유린하며 자신들의 이익을 위해 건장한 남성들을 노예로 잡아갔으며 주요 자원들을 빼앗아갔다. 이러한 불행의 역사는 20세기 중반, 제 2차 세계대전 이후 민족자결주의를 내세운 여러 아프리카 국가들이 독립하면서 표면적으로는 커다란 전환점을 맞이한 것처럼 보인다. 하지만 아프리카 국가들은 국제무대에서 동등한 파트너로 인정받지 못했다. 그들은 독립하기 이전과 마찬가지로 여전히 가난하고 힘없는 대륙일 뿐이었다. 하지만 우리는 21세기 들어서면서 아프리카의 위상이 점차 증가하고 있음에 주목할 필요가 있다. 더 이상 아프리카 대륙을 가난한 지역으로 인식하지 않고 발전 가능성이 매우 높은 새로운 시장이라고 인식되기 시작한 것이다. 본 논문은 이러한 인식 변화에 주목하면서 전통적으로 우호 관계를 유지하고 있던 프랑스를 비롯한 유럽 열강들의 전통적 식민 지배 역사를 살펴보는 것을 시작으로 최근 새로운 시장으로 인식하며 아프리카의 환심을 사고 자국의 영향력을 증대시키고 있는 중국의 새로운 형태의 접근 방식을 살펴볼 것이다. 이를 통해 우리는 새로운 기회의 땅으로 등장한 아프리카 대륙의 현실을 보다 냉철히 인식할 수 있을 것이다.

Using some inequalities for real numbers and integrals we print out here some new inequalities for the moments of guessing mapping which complement the recent results of Arikan [1] and Boztas [2].

This paper examines the existence of herd behaviour in fifteen (15) global stock markets, which consist of Developed Markets (Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom), Advanced Emerging Markets (Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland and South Africa) and Secondary Emerging Markets (Chile, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Russia) by using Cross Sectional Absolute Deviation (CSAD) method of Chiang and Zheng (2010). It also seeks to explore the impact of social factors such as prosperity, education, ageing society, industry orientation and gender on the existence of market-wide herding. The findings of this paper indicate that herd behaviour exists in Singapore (Developed Market), Mexico, Poland and South Africa (Advanced Emerging Markets) and China and the Philippines (Secondary Emerging Markets). No evidence of herding is observed for Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom, Brazil, Malaysia, Chile, Indonesia and Russia. Ageing society is also found to have significant impact on the existence of herd behaviour. Nonetheless, prosperity, education, industry orientation and gender are found to be insignificant to herding. This study sheds some light on whether social factors determine herding behaviour in the 15 selected stock markets.

This study highlights the homogeneity in the heritage of the costume cultures between the Gulf of Aden, a part of the Horn region of Africa and the Arab region of West. Asia. Specifically, a cross-cultural perspective is used to examine the similarities between the two regions based on their (1) geographic living cultures and (2) the use of a costume accessory called Burga-a face veil. The current trend in research on the traditional costume culture of Africa mostly ties art with the traditional costume culture and examines its from an aesthetic or animalism perspective rather than from a cross cultural Perspective. Compared to Previous research in this area this study used literature reviews and Pictorial analysis to analyze costume cultures from a cross-cultural perspective. The Burga, which is worn in the low lands of the Horn region, which is located between the West Asia and African continents, as well as the Arab region, shows a reciprocal cultural exchange between the two regions. Similarities can be found in the shape, design, decorative elements, and the way the Bursa was worn in two regions. Although the Burga as a face veil is only a small part of a costume, it reaffirms the similar living cultures and geographic characteristics of the two regions. As the living culture environment becomes similar around the world, this study should help with cross culture negotiations as well as forther the development of traditional costume research.

The Central African Region is known as one of the most troubled and unsafe regions in Africa. But more recently the Central African Region has been growing and developing, with many projects underway involving huge local and foreign construction companies. Despite this fact, workers in the Central African Region often encounter unsafe working conditions and must confront many kinds of hazards. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the safety management situation in Central African construction sites, by focusing on the countries of Rwanda and DR Congo. Through our research, it was found that the two countries studied in the Central African Region are very similar with regard to their safety management systems, with some exceptions. In addition, it was revealed that both these countries in the Central African Region had good safety performance. This study will help to illuminate the situation of safety systems on construction sites in the Central African Region, and can be used by companies advancing into the Central African Region's construction market.

NCEP reanalysis data were analyzed in order to provide distribution of global wind resource and wind speed in the surface layer for the years 2000-2009. Wind speed at 10 m above ground level (AGL) was converted to wind speed at 80 m above the ground level using the power law. The global average 80 m wind speed shows a maximum value of $13ms^{-1}$ at the storm track region. High wind speed over the land exists in Tibet, Mongolia, Central North America, South Africa, Australia, and Argentina. Wind speed over the ocean increased with a large value in the South China Sea, Southeast Asia, East Sea of the Korea. Sea surface wind in Western Europe and Scandinavia are suitable for wind farm with a value of $7-8ms^{-1}$. Areas with great potential for wind farm are also found in Eastern and Western coastal region of North America. Sea surface wind in Southern Hemisphere shows larger values in the high latitude of South America, South Africa and Australia. The distribution of low-resolution reanalysis data represents general potential areas for wind power and can be used to provide information for high-resolution wind resource mapping.
