  • Country of origin is very important in terms of consumers right to know, protection of producer, national finance and tariff preference etc. The principal issues related to country of origin are breaches of origin mark, determination of origin of OEM products, domestic products using imported raw materials, exports products, and fairness of penalties. This study focus origin mark issues on key components and set products which have not been treated so far. First, Origin mark issues on key components need to introduce multiple countries of origin for the same products. Some specific products, which are considered important key components or materials, has to mark multiple country of origin in terms of portion and significance. Next, Origin mark issues on set products need to expand the objects from 15 listed items of Korea Foreign Trade Act to all items of HS tariff schedules of Korea Customs Act. A set products which below 15% of components can mark single country of origin like FTA agreement such as Korea-EU FTA, Korea-EFTA, Korea-US FTA and Korea-Peru FTA.

  • The effect of soundscape has been analyzed by questionnaire results. Nowadays, EEG is used to identify the human reponses due to exterior stimuli such as soundscape sound sources. So, it is very meaningful to know the EEG response to soundscape sound sources. In the present study, the sound sources of soundscape were heard to subjects in order to find out the relationship between questionnaire results and electroencephalogram results through lab test. And stimulated part of brain for evaluating words were sought in this experiment too. The results of the study are as follows : the sound source of bird+music causes more ${\alpha}$-wave rise than other sound sources and the ${\alpha}$-wave stimulated region of brain is occipitallobe. In case of ${\beta}$-wave, the left part of brain is excited. ${\delta}$-wave is on frontallobe and ${\Theta}$-wave is on right part of brain. The evaluating words for soundscape can be categorized into four groups. These results could be used for basic materials of soundscape effects analysis.

  • This research was about understanding challenges in managing a business start up. University of Kigali was used as a case study. It is domiciled in Rwanda. It was chosen because it is a recent university establishment and it provided a good source of information for this research. The issue that triggered this study was to understand the virtue of having clear separation of duties in new business start-ups. The findings from this study reveal that 100 percent of the respondents believe that clear separation of roles and clear communication between management, shareholders and Board of directors is vital for new businesses. From the Literature review, it was clear that a firm in its infancy has a lot of risks and it would not be a bad idea for the start for shareholders and Board of directors to give a helping hand in the day to day running of the business until its stabilization. Employees need to know the vision and mission of the business start-up and again, the managing director of a firm needs to work closely with the chairman Board of directors for effective driving of the firm into the right direction. The momentum in growth of University of Kigali is due to respect of the pillar of separation of duties in its hierarchical structure and for allowing a decentralized structure type of management for flourish.

So I chose the independence museum that opened with in recent 10 years, finally middle & small size's theme museum were selected. The results from the case study are as follow. Firstly, according to a result of analyzing the characteristics of space composition with the ratio of each part's area, space composition of each museum is mainly for the exhibition part, but rarely for the education part. Secondly, theme museums in Jeju have the limit of diversity of circulation method because they have not the free circulation method. Thirdly, the characteristics of space composition is divided into basic type, center-hall enter type, around the center-hall type and guidance type. Fourthly, by analyzing the characteristics of space composition and circulation method of traffic line, it's realized that selective circulation method was applied to basic type and center-hall enter type, and guidance circulation method was applied to around the center-hall type and guidance type.

  • Since Korea and Japan established diplomatic relationship, Relationship between Korea and Japan has not been easygoing. There are two most explosive, and noticeable ones among topics which have affected the relationship ; Dokdo and Historical Distortion. Without these issues, relationship between two countries will take a turn for the better. However, unfortunately, it seems that it is almost never going to happen. There is the Japanese conservative right-wing who has an influence on those two issues. The right-wing takes regard getting negative view or finding out dark past as an action from Self-torture view of history, and tries to dilute the Japanese sense of guilt on past invasions to neighbor countries. Moreover, to become a "normal country", they are trying to revise Constitution of the Japan so that Japan can possess the military and re-arm, dispatch troops abroad, and get the right to break the war. In other words, they expect Japan to become a powerful nation with great influence on Asia and world, as the period in which Japan conquered Korean peninsula, China, and South-Eastern nations. Japan still harbours secret romanticism for bygone days of imperialist glory. That is why neighbors want to never make the painful history happen again. In order to deal with this effort, most of all, it is required to assert better argument with a careful, thorough analysis on Japanese opinion about Dokdo. There might be a hidden card which can be accepted in the international society considering Japanese persistent effort to make Dokdo disputed area, and that is why we have to know that it is. In addition, it is needed to secure a high-quality professional manpower because the issues of Dokdo and Historical Distortion are primarily the matter of logic and references. The professional manpower should have open-minded to break down walls of their own majors. We have to introduce our achievements and stances to the international society vigorously. As a definite way to solve these problems, we have to develop national power. We have to possess naval forces and coast guard to protect our territory and Koreans overseas. There are not many options Korea can do to Japan, except protesting denunciation, and pressing a joint efforts. Most of the suggestions stated before are what have to be conducted domestically. It is a miserable condition, because two problems are Japanese domestic issues, but they become international issues and we have to seek a solution for ourselves.

  • Nowadays, as the indices of the major search engines grow to a tremendous proportion, vertical search services can help customers to find what they need. Real time search is valuable because it lets you know what's happening right now on any given topic. In this paper, we designed a new architecture to implement a high performance real time search system. Based on the real time search's characters, we divided the whole system to two parts which are collection system and search system. The evaluation results showed that our design has the potential to provide the real time search transparent scalability while maintaining the replication overhead costs in check.
