The history of studies in biology regarding reactive oxygen species (ROS) is approximately 40 years. During the initial 30 years, it appeared that these studies were mainly focused on the toxicity of ROS. However, recent studies have identified another action regarding oxidative signaling, other than toxicity of ROS. Basically, it is suggested that ROS are reactive, and degenerate to biomolecules such as DNA and proteins, leading to deterioration of cellular functions as an oxidative stress. On the other hand, recent studies have shown that ROS act as oxidative signaling in cells, resulting in various gene expressions. Recently ROS emerged as critical signaling molecules in cardiovascular research. Several studies over the past decade have shown that physiological effects of vasoactive factors are mediated by these reactive species and, conversely, that altered redox mechanisms are implicated in the occurrence of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases ROS is a collective term often used by scientist to include not only the oxygen radicals($O2^{-{\cdot}},\;{^{\cdot}}OH$), but also some non-radical derivatives of oxygen. These include hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and ozone (O3). The superoxide anion ($O2^{-{\cdot}}$) is formed by the univalent reduction of triplet-state molecular oxygen ($^3O_2$). Superoxide dismutase (SOD)s convert superoxide enzymically into hydrogen peroxide. In biological tissues superoxide can also be converted nonenzymically into the nonradical species hydrogen peroxide and singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$). In the presence of reduced transition metals (e.g., ferrous or cuprous ions), hydrogen peroxide can be converted into the highly reactive hydroxyl radical (${^{\cdot}}OH$). Alternatively, hydrogen peroxide may be converted into water by the enzymes catalase or glutathione peroxidase. In the glutathione peroxidase reaction glutathione is oxidized to glutathione disulfide, which can be converted back to glutathione by glutathione reductase in an NADPH-consuming process.

The aim of this paper is to show how the paradigm of disaster resilience may help reorienting urban planning policies in order to mitigate various types of risks, thanks to carefully thought action on heritage and conservation practices. Resilience is defined as the "capacity of a social system to proactively adapt to and recover from disturbances that are perceived within the system to fall outside the range of normal and expected disturbances." It relies greatly on risk perception and the memory of catastrophes. States, regions, municipalities, have been giving territorial materiality to collective memory for centuries, but this trend has considerably increased in the second half of the 20th century. This is particularly true regarding the memory of disasters: for example, important traces of catastrophes such as urban ruins have been preserved, because they were supposed to maintain some awareness and hence foster urban resilience - Berlin's Gedachtniskirche is a well-known example of this policy. Yet, in spite of preserved traces of catastrophes and various warnings and heritage policies, there are countless examples of risk mismanagement and urban tragedies. Using resilience as a guiding concept might change the results of these failed risk mitigation policies and irrelevant disaster memory processes. Indeed, the concept of resilience deals with the complexity of temporal and spatial scales, and with partly emotional and qualitative processes, so that this approach fits the issues of urban memory management. Resilience might help underlining the complexity and the subtlety of remembrance messages, and lead to alternative paths better adapted to the diversity of risks, places and actors. However, when it is given territorial materiality, memory is almost always symbolically and politically framed and interpreted; Vale and Campanella had already outlined this political aspect of remembrance and resilience as a discourse. Resilience and the territorialization of memory are not ideologically neutral, but urban risk mitigation may come at that price.

Recently, a lot of research that applies data acquired from devices such as cameras and RFIDs to context aware services is being performed in the field on Life-Log and the sensor network. A variety of analytical techniques has been proposed to recognize various information from the raw data because video and audio data include a larger volume of information than other sensor data. However, manually watching a huge amount of media data again has been necessary to create supervised data for the update of a class or the addition of a new class because these techniques generally use supervised learning. Therefore, the problem was that applications were able to use only recognition function based on fixed supervised data in most cases. Then, we proposed a method of acquiring supervised data from a video sharing site where users give comments on any video scene because those sites are remarkably popular and, therefore, many comments are generated. In the first step of this method, words with a high utility value are extracted by filtering the comment about the video. Second, the set of feature data in the time series is calculated by applying functions, which extract various feature data, to media data. Finally, our learning system calculates the correlation coefficient by using the above-mentioned two kinds of data, and the correlation coefficient is stored in the DB of the system. Various other applications contain a recognition function that is used to generate collective intelligence based on Web comments, by applying this correlation coefficient to new media data. In addition, flexible recognition that adjusts to a new object becomes possible by regularly acquiring and learning both media data and comments from a video sharing site while reducing work by manual operation. As a result, recognition of not only the name of the seen object but also indirect information, e.g. the impression or the action toward the object, was enabled.

Other-regarding preferences (such as trust, reciprocity and altruism) between companies, between consumers and retailers, and between employers and employees are integral elements in determining economic performance. Social trust which is a core element of social capital, especially, is known to reduce transaction costs, help solve collective action problems, and contribute to economic, social, and political development. Therefore, social trust has been given a great deal of attention across an array of academic disciplines for its role in promoting cooperation among individuals and groups, and for its positive influence on economic performance. Most studies describe Korea as a low-trust society than Japan or China. To identify the causes of social trust, this paper focuses on differences of social values (perception on competition and wealth accumulation) in 4 countries (Japan, China, Korea, and United States). Based on World Values Survey data, this paper analyzes effects of the social values on social trust. Social trust was measured by degree to which a respondent thinks that most people can be trusted. Perception on competition was measured by the degree to which a respondent thinks that competition is harmful, and perception on wealth accumulation was done by the degree to which a respondent thinks that wealth can grow so there is enough for everyone. The results showed that social trust was affected by perception on competition and wealth accumulation. A respondent showed higher level of social trust when he (or she) perceived positively competition and wealth accumulation. For enhancing social trust in a country, it is not easy to reduce income inequality and corruption which were reported as causes of social trust by previous studies. Compared to them, social values can be changed more easily by various concrete measures like education and mass-media. Differently from previous studies this paper stresses the concrete measures to enhance social trust in a country.

With regard to the culture in cities this study aims to essential understanding and systematic approach to the culture. The "2011 Seoul Survey"report has been used to find out causality among the related variables. In the first place 'satisfaction of cultural condition' was operationally selected as a dependent variable for regression. For the purpose of controlling confounding factors for ceteris paribus effect correlation analysis was done between the dependent variable and all other variables respectively, which resulted in two groups of variables: group (1) - 6 variables of very significant correlations(p-value<0.01) and (2) - the other 6 variables of significant correlations(p-value<0.05). Then hierarchical regression was adopted to these 2 groups to analyse $R^2$ increment, statistical significance of independent variables, and multicollinearity(VIF; variance inflation factor). At last a regression model specified by group (1) as independent variables(they are 'social trust', 'satisfaction of walking condition', 'happiness index', 'preparation against old age', 'satisfaction of traffic condition' and 'hours for internet') shows that only 'social trust' variable has statistically significant and substantially strong effect on 'satisfaction of cultural condition.' This finding should be accepted on the following understanding; (1) urban culture has a collective attribute formed between people and society, (2) culture is somewhat telling and hearing stories and the confidence between tellers and hearers is essential in the mutual response and (3) stimulus is received by relationship in company with sense, emotion, thinking and action. In spite of restrictive external validity this finding can be used as a direction for promoting culture and a basis for related policy choice in cities.

세계에서 생산되는 막대한 정보 양의 상당 부분은 디지털로 생성되고, 매우 다양한 포맷으로 되어있다. 2001년 5월 유네스코의 이사회 회의 동안, 회원국들은 디지털 유산을 보호하기 위해 신속한 행동을 취할 필요성에 동의하였다. 이에 대한 유네스코의 관심은 전혀 놀랄만한 일이 아니다. 유네스코는 부분적으로는 세계 사람들의 문화, 과학 및 정보 유산의 보존과 향유를 장려하고 가능하게 하기 위하여 존재한다. 디지털 유산의 성장과 그것의 취약성은 결코 간과할 수 없는 것이었다. 우리 사회는 글로 쓴 아카이브의 패러다임, 수백 년 동안 발전해온 패러다임의 종식을 목격하였다. 20세기 동안 새로운 매체가 이와 같은 이름난 전통에 현명하고도 겸손하게 합류하였다. 이 패러다임은 이미 변형되었고, 자리를 차지한 장치들은 정보기술의 가차 없는 전진과 그것들이 야기한 양적 팽창을 다룰 수 없다. 이것은 기록의 유지 관리를 전문으로 하는 기관들의 능력 밖이다: 신속하고 완전하게 이전의 기록과 아카이빙 체제를 변모시키면서, 전적으로 새로운 정보의 제도가 구축되어야 할 것이다. 만약 이 전환이 일어나지 않으면, 우리 사회는 우리의 집단적 사회적 기록에서 돌이킬 수 없는 훼손을 겪게 될 것이다.

BACKGROUNDS/OBJECTIVES: The effects of malnutrition on growth of toddlers and preschoolers by socioeconomic status are not well known. This study aimed to examine the effects of dietary intake on growth outcomes in toddlers and preschoolers by household income level. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study population was a total of 1,687 children aged 1 to 5 years that participated in the KNHANES from 2009 to 2011. Growth of children was assessed by height for age (HFA) and weight for height (WFH). Children were classified into three groups according to children's HFA and WFH compared to the $10^{th}$ and $90^{th}$ percentiles of the 2007 Korean Children and Adolescent Growth Standard. Average monthly household income was divided into quartile groups. Dietary intake data were obtained by using the one day 24-hr recall method. Risks of inadequate intake of nutrients and unfavorable growth were estimated by using a multiple logistic regression model adjusted for sex, age, region, and energy intake. RESULTS: The low HFA group (<$10^{th}$ percentile) had significantly lower intakes of energy, carbohydrate, and thiamin as compared with the high group (${\geq}90^{th}$ percentile). For WFH status, vitamin C intake was lower in the low group than in the high group. Household income level was related to WFH status but not HFA. Children from lower income households were more likely to have high WFH than those from higher income households (P for trend = 0.038). Household income status was also significantly related with risk of inadequate intake of micronutrients such as thiamin (P for trend = 0.032) and vitamin C (P for trend = 0.002), showing higher odds of inadequate intakes in children from lower income households. CONCLUSIONS: Children from lower income households were prone to be overweight and to have inadequate intakes of micronutrients such as thiamin and vitamin C. To reduce nutritional and health disparities, collective action in the public sector is required from early life.

노동이사제도가 회사법에 도입되기 위해서는 노동이사가 우리 회사법 속에서 설명되어야 하고 도입의 불가피성이 설득되어야 한다. 그리고 주주의 기관 선임권과의 갈등도 해결되어야 하는 과제이다. 영업이익에 연동하는 배당을 받는 주주들에게 경영진은 절대적 의미를 갖는다. 반면 단체행동권을 보장받고 노동의 대가를 계약법과 노동법에 의해 지급받는 노동자에게 경영진은 노사협력의 파트너로서의 위치에 있다고 보아야 하므로 노동이사제도는 자칫 혼동의 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 노사대결을 유발하는 기존의 '통제와 명령' 중심의 인력관리에서 벗어나 '이해와 참여, 협력하는 관계'를 형성할 수 있는 시스템을 만들어야 한다는 목소리가 높아지고 있고 기관의 이해당사자인 노동자들의 직접 경영참여를 통하여 공공기관 낙하산 임용 폐해를 개선할 수 있다는 계기가 될 수도 있다.

Information behavior played a significant role in minimizing the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic. When faced with such a situation, an individual needs information for decision-making and in order to determine the best course of action relating to their health. This study aims to explore information behavior during each phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, which is known for its close-knit collective culture. A sensemaking approach is used, which emphasizes the process individuals go through to understand their situation and give meaning to the information they are getting from their environment. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 participants to obtain a description of their information behaviors during the pandemic. Data analysis was carried out using open, axial, and selective coding. We propose a sensemaking-based information behavior strategy framework for mitigating risk and reducing ongoing health crises. Changes in information behavior strategies, including search, prevention, and restriction of information exposure, were random at the beginning of the pandemic, but became more regular in later phases. This was influenced by the "knowledge gap fulfillment" and "use of local knowledge" among the participants throughout the pandemic. In conclusion, the participants developed a sensemaking process including an understanding of the pandemic situation and the risks that they faced. They used a number of information behavior strategies to prevent transmission, and their perception of the risks changed across the course of the pandemic, up til the situation began to be considered back to normal again in Indonesia.
