  • Previous research assessed media reporting on nuclear accidents and risks, whilst studies about the Fukushima accident focused on the impact of the Internet on coverage of the incident. However, little research has addressed news framing or comparisons of the perceptions of journalists in relation to reporting nuclear accidents. The aim of this study is to apply framing analysis to news content in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today about the Fukushima accident. It explores the question of how journalists view reporting on complex events. Content analysis of these three newspapers shows that conflict, responsibility, and economic consequences were the most frequently used frames. According to the journalists interviewed, the biggest problem was the inability to assess information due to contrary positions held by experts. It is argued that the Fukushima accident was framed as a conflict of experts and officials' opinions, utility and government officials' responsibility, and economic consequences for the United States. Adherence to professional norms of objectivity and impartiality was signified as the best approaches to risk reporting.

  • A Sputter ion Plating(SIP) system with a r.f. coil electrode and the Facing Target Sputter(FTS) source was designed for high-quality thin film formation. The rf discharge was combined with DC facing target sputtering in order to enhance ionization degree of a sputtered atoms. The energy of ions incident on the substrate depended on the health potential of DC biased substrate. The mean impact ion energy increased with negative bias voltage and rf power. The adhesive force of the TiN film formed was in the range of 30$\sim$50N, and markedly influenced by substrate bias voltage.

  • Over the past few decades, the impact of natural, manmade and natech (natural hazard triggering technological disasters) disasters has been devastating, affecting over 4.4 billion people. In spite of recent technological advances, the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters and the escalation of manmade threats is presenting a number of challenges that warrant immediate attention. This paper explores the integration of drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) into infrastructure monitoring and post-disaster assessment. Through reviewing some of the recent disasters, effectiveness of utilizing UAV's in different stages of disaster life cycle is demonstrated and needed steps for successful integration of UAV's in infrastructure monitoring, hazard mitigation and post-incident assessment applications are discussed. In addition, some of the challenges associated with implementing UAV's in disaster monitoring, together with research needs to overcome associated knowledge gaps, is presented.

  • Purpose: This study aims to explore how consumers respond to the immoral actions of a CEO. More specifically, this research focuses on the moral reasoning processes used by consumers in order to maintain support for the CEO despite the immoral action. In addition, this research suggests that support for the CEO would improve product purchase intention. Research design, data, and methodology: To test the hypotheses presented, an online research company was hired and online survey was conducted with adult participants. Online research company sent an email to the potential subjects asking their participation in an online survey. Subjects were able to participate in the online survey by clicking a link to the survey. When the participants clicked the link, they were instructed to read a fictitious newspaper article on a CEO's immoral action. And then, they were asked to answer several questions online. Responses were obtained from 336 adults participants and data were analyzed using SPSS Hayes Macro for a moderation effect and AMOS for a structural equation model. Result: Moral reasoning processes were divided into moral decoupling and moral rationalization and analyzed to determine their influence on product purchase. Also in this study, we suggest the public self-consciousness of consumers as an antecedent of moral reasoning processes, and argue that consumers with high public self-consciousness are more likely to engage in moral decoupling than moral rationalization. Conclusions: Our results showed that moral decoupling and moral rationalization improved the consumer's perception of corporate ethicality, which increased product purchase intention. In addition, consumers with high public self-consciousness were more likely to engage in moral decoupling than in moral rationalization. In addition, this research suggested that severity of the scandal would moderate the impact of public self-consciousness on moral decoupling. However, this hypothesis was not supported statistically since most participants perceived the scandal to be a highly severe incident, that may lead to an insignificant interaction effect between severity of the scandal and public self-consciousness. This research expands the scope of available research on corporate ethics and consumer responses to negative information involving celebrities and provides practical implications for corporate crisis management.

  • 서비스 실패는 고객 충성도를 파괴시키는 잠재력을 가지고 있으므로 기업에서는 서비스 복구에 지대한 관심을 가지고 서비스의 질을 높이려고 노력하고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 따라 본 연구에서는 호텔이라는 특정 서비스 산업에서의 서비스실패와 복구전략에 대해 결정적 사건 기법을 이용하여 알아보았다. Hoffman et al.(1995)의 분류기법에 근거하여 416개의 자료가 분석을 위해 사용되었으며, 연구결과 업그레이드, 무료식사, 할인은 매우 효과적인 복구수단으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 무형적 복구보다는 유형적인 복구수단이 고객만족에 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 고객들은 보상에 근거한 복구형태를 더욱 선호하며 그들은 보상으로부터 보다 즉각적인 가치를 인식하는 것으로 보인다 하지만 무형적인 복구수단인 정중한 사과는 다른 세 가지의 유형적인 복구보다도 오히려 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고객이 경험한 서비스실패의 심각성에 따라 그 고객의 재이용의도를 살펴본 결과, 심각성은 재이용의도에 부정적인 영향을 마치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Aiming at the current research on the dynamic response analysis of the vehicle-bridge system under earthquake, which fails to comprehensively consider the impact of seismic wave incidence angles, terrain effects and soil-structure dynamic interaction on the bridge structure, this paper proposes a multi-point excitation input method that can consider the oblique incidence seismic P Waves based on the viscous-spring artificial boundary theory, and verifies the accuracy and feasibility of the input method. An overall numerical model of vehicle-bridge-soil foundation system in valley terrain during oblique incidence of seismic P-wave is established, and the effects of seismic wave incidence characteristics, terrain effects, soil-structure dynamic interactions, and vehicle speeds on the dynamic response of the bridge are analyzed. The research results indicate that with an increase in P wave incident angle, the vertical dynamic response of the bridge structure decreased while the horizontal dynamic response increased significantly. Traditional design methods which neglect multi-point excitation would lead to an unsafe structure. The dynamic response of the bridge structure significantly increases at the ridge while weakening at the valley. The dynamic response of bridge structures under earthquake action does not always increase with increasing train speed, but reaches a maximum value at a certain speed. Ignoring soil-structure dynamic interaction would reduce the vertical dynamic response of the bridge piers. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the seismic design of vehicle-bridge systems in complex mountainous terrain under earthquake excitation.

  • 파랑이 구조물과 만나게 되면 강한 처오름이 발생하게 되며, 이러한 처오름은 월파를 야기하게 된다. 월파에 의해 야기된 월파수괴에 의해 구조물 배후면에 강한 낙하파압이 작용하게 된다. 구조물 배후면의 포장체 등을 설계하기 위해서는 월파 등에 의한 낙하파압이 산정되어야 하지만 여전히 불명확한 부분이 있다. 본 연구에서는 경사식구조물을 대상으로 월파에 의한 낙하파압 계측을 위한 수리실험을 수행하였으며, 수리실험에서는 파랑조건, 여유고, 피복재 높이 및 파라펫의 유무에 따른 낙하파압의 변화를 계측하였다. 상치콘크리트에는 월파의 효과적인 저감을 위해 파라펫이 설치되기도 하지만, 파라펫 설치로 인해 배후면에 작용하는 낙하파압은 증가하는 것으로 검토되었다. 수행된 실험결과를 이용하여 경사식구조물의 상치콘트리트 배후면에 작용하는 최대 낙하파압을 산정할 수 있는 경험식을 제안하였다.
