Genres and actions of stories can be used to classify stories, and used effectively as well for visualizing story properties. This paper proposes a Genre-Action coordinate system for visualizing story property data in 2-dimension that has similarities between the genre and action items along the axes, i.e. a property of spatial continuum. With the proposed Genre-Action coordinate system we found that the genre and action items in the axes are arranged according to their similarities and we were able to achieve a spatially meaningful visualization of story properties where the related data form clusters.

Recently, the mobile retention and use rates for the children are increasing. And early-childhood english education is all the rage. Thus, we propose a mobile contents for studying english stories of children. The proposed content provides children with studying english via a mobile phone in anywhere, anytime. We call the proposed contents "ShK". ShK is an abbreviation for "Say, hi Kids!". ShK induces a motive and interest about studying through a storytelling and avatars. And parents of students can manage studying contents of children through a private web site. Thus, "Say, hi Kids!" will became the epochal ubiquitous english educational contents for children.

The interaction property of digital media have changed traditional storytelling into a new concept, digital-storytelling, which has been widely accepted. Nowadays open-ended game storytelling, which different from story design of movie or animation, is chosen for the development of RPG. It can make infinite stories according to player character's decision. In this paper, we propose a game storytelling structure focused on the characters for RPG, and analyze how characters designed with various story-values interact with background stories and events in the cyber game world through case studies. This research is necessary to design predictable game mechanics and provide methods to control game play in case of special-purpose game.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using learner-created DST to communicate academic information on the creativity and flow of university students. The sample consisted of 100 undergraduate students who were assigned to either the DST group or the expository instruction group. The DST group created digital stories, and the expository group were taught using an expository instructional method. An achievement test, the Creativity Personality Scale (CPS), and the Flow State Scale (FSS) were used to collect data. The results showed that the achievement scores of the DST group were higher than those of the expository group, and the scores on the patience sub-factor of the CPS of the DST group significantly differed from those of the expository instruction group. Finally, the scores on the seven sub-factors of the FSS of the DST group differed significantly from those of the expository instruction group. The findings of this study suggest that the DST can be applied as teaching and learning method in a university class.

In the digital era, news consumption is not confined in geological boundaries. Technological advances bring the instant dissemination of news into life and allow news audience to consume events that occur far away almost in real time. The transmission has blurred the boundary between traditional media and new media, and the one between physical and virtual world. That is, what if a journalist applies news framing to the news translation process? This paper aims to investigate the gap between the ST and the TT created when the source news texts undergo a translation process. To achieve this aim, the appraisal theory developed by White (2003) is employed to identify a difference between the ST and the TT. Furthermore, we have attempted to identify differences between soft news stories and hard news stories while the STs from both news stories are translated into the TTs. Two time-sensitive events, Hugh Grant's marriage and a U.S. and North Korea summit, were selected. The former (a soft news story) is extracted from the Telegraph and the latter (a hard news story) is from the Washington post. As a result, it was found that such strategies as attitude, engagement, and judgment were used when the source news texts from the hard news story are translated into the target news texts. Under the appraisal theory, the strategies involve evaluative language which refers to positive or negative language that judges the worth of entities. In general, it is said that a journalist frames the SS (especially from the hard news story) to convey his ideology to news consumers. Hypothetically, we assume that a similar framing process takes place in deriving the TT from the SS of the hard news story. Thus, we could conclude that the TT from the hard news story differs from the TT from the soft news story and that the difference can be explained within the framework of White's appraisal theory.

This mixed-use Raffles City (RCH) development is located near the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, located southwest of Shanghai, China. The project incorporates retail, offices, housing, and hotel facilities and marks the site of a cultural landscape within the Quianjiang New Town Area. The project is composed of two 250-meter-tall twisting towers with a form of vibrant waves, along with a commercial podium and three stories of basement car parking. It reaches a height of 60 stories, presenting views both to and from the Qiantang River and West Lake areas, with a total floor area of almost 400,000 square meters. A composite moment frame plus concrete core structural system was adopted for the tower structures. Concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) columns together with steel reinforced concrete (SRC) beams form the outer moment frame of the towers' structure. The internal slabs and floor beams are of reinforced concrete. This paper presents the engineering design and construction of this highly complex project. Through comprehensive discussion and careful elaboration, some conclusions are reached, which serve as a reference guide for the design and construction of similar free-form, hybrid, mix-use buildings.

With a rapid development of smart devices, the consumption of digital media contents has become much faster. As a result, there has been a rising demand for diverse stories, and cultural archetypes have been reproduced to crate these stories. An archetype is an act inherent in collective unconsciousness. Since it is a prototype stemming from imagination and experiences, the distortion or deterioration of the archetype could even threaten the identity of national tradition. This study analyzed western contents which have been successful and domestic ones that have failed in the reproduction of their archetype, investigated aspects in the reproduction of cultural archetypes and reviewed future storytelling methodology.

The present study performed semantic network analysis of the keywords in the headlines of newspapers to investigate the media coverage of the multidrug-resistant microorganisms(MDROs) which is resistant to antibiotics. For this purpose, 229 news stories on MDROs in 28 newspapers from June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011 were analyzed. The news stories were gathered from the Korea Press Foundation's news database, KINDS (www.kinds.or.kr) and websites of Korean newspapers. The analysis of the keywords revealed 'superbacteria' appeared most frequently (n=155) followed by 'infection' (n=63) which arouses fear among readers. While network was structured with the keywords such as 'domestic', 'multidrug-resistant microorganisms', 'first', 'antibiotics', 'outbreak' and 'infection', the keywords such as 'MDROs related stocks', 'medical staff', and 'safety' were on the periphery of the network.
