  • 과학기술과 문화의 관계는 어떻게 이해해야 하는가? 과학기술은 문화의 일부로서 이해되는가 하면, 흔히 과학기술과 문화는 서로 배타적인 관계에 있는 것으로 주장되기도 한다. 이 논문에서는 먼저 과학기술을 문화의 한 형태로서 검토하였다. 분명히 과학은 인식적 가치를 창조하는 가치문화의 일부이며, 기술은 비록 도구적 문화로서 파악되는 경우에도 문화체계의 일부로 이해해야 한다. 그러므로 과학기술은 어느 정도의 '상대적 자율성'을 지닌 문화체계의 일부인 것이다. 다음으로 이 논문은 정치체계, 경제체계, 문화체계와 과학기술체계 간의 긴장관계에 대해 검토하였다. 특히 현대사회에서 정치와 경제체계에 의해 문화체계가 식민화되는 과정에서 과학기술체계의 도구적 합리성의 왜곡에 의해서 야기된 기술지배의 부정적 결과들에 대해 검토하고, 이를 극복하기 위해서는 도구적 합리성이 사회적 합리성과 의사소통합리성 등에 의해 균형을 이루어야 함을 지적하였다. 끝으로 이 논문에서는 정치, 경제, 문화 및 시민사회 각각의 '과학문화'의 특성과 그와 같은 과학적 부분문화(scientific subcultures)들 간의 역동적인 관계와 사회과정을 통해 '인간화되고 민주적인 과학문화'가 형성될 수 있는 가능성에 대해 논의하였다.

  • This paper examines theoretical trends and policy issues concerning science and public. The dominant perspective about it was changed from “popularization of science” to “public understanding of science (PUS)”. PUS pays attention to active roles of public in the understanding of science based on the contextual model. And recently various concepts are attempted to complement PUS such as “heterogeneous PUS”, “quantitative PUS”, “public understanding of research”, and “public participation in science”. PUS related activities in Korea can be analyzed using the concept of “science and technology culture system”. The characteristics of science and technology culture system in Korea can be summarized as follows: Its purpose is confined to support existing national innovation system; Its constituents have been unevenly and separately developed; Its material and institutional infrastructure is not sufficiently prepared; Its organizing mechanism is strongly influenced by government's execution power.

  • Currently, the systems for culturing buffalo spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in vitro are varied, and their effects are still inconclusive. In this study, we compared the effects of culture systems with undefined (foetal bovine serum) and defined (KnockOut Serum Replacement) materials on the in vitro culture of buffalo SSC-like cells. Significantly more DDX4- and UCHL1-positive cells (cultured for 2 days at passage 2) were observed in the defined materials culture system than in the undefined materials system (p < 0.01), and these cells were maintained for a longer period than those in the culture system with undefined materials (10 days vs. 6 days). Furthermore, NANOS2 (p < 0.05), DDX4 (p < 0.01) and UCHL1 (p < 0.05) were expressed at significantly higher levels in the culture system with defined materials than in that with undefined materials. Induction with retinoic acid was used to verify that the cultured cells maintained SSC characteristics, revealing an SCP3+ subset in the cells cultured in the defined materials system. The expression levels of Stra8 (p < 0.05) and Rec8 (p < 0.01) were significantly increased, and the expression levels of ZBTB16 (p < 0.01) and DDX4 (p < 0.05) were significantly decreased. These findings provided a clearer research platform for exploring the mechanism of buffalo SSCs in vitro.

  • 목재문화는 시멘트문화를 대체하는 새로운 패러다임으로서, 목재문화가 학문적 체계를 갖추기 위하여는 공학적 연구만이 아니라 사회학적 연구도 병행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 아직 국내외적으로 전혀 시도된 바가 없는 목재문화의 사회학적 측면을 구조 기능적, 체계 기능적, 갈등적, 사회 변동적 측면에서 사회학적으로 연구하고 우리나라의 사례를 분석함으로써 목재문화의 사회학적 접근방법을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 구조 기능적 측면에서 보면 사회체계는 최상위의 인식체계, 그 다음의 제도체계, 생활체계, 기술체계의 4가지 부분체계로 이루어진다. 이들 부분체계는 목재문화 전체의 기능을 유지하기 위하여 당위성 타당성 현실성 발전성의 기능을 발휘한다. 체계기능적 측면에서 볼 때 목재문화체계는 목재 효용성의 인지와 전파과정에 따라 개인적 체계와 조직적 체계, 이 두 가지를 망라하는 사회적 체계의 3가지로 구성되며, 갈등측면에서 볼 때 사회는 목재문화와 시멘트문화의 갈등양상에 따라 고유의 목재문화는 쇠퇴하고 시멘트문화가 확산되는 사회, 시멘트문화가 쇠퇴하고 목재문화가 확산되는 사회, 고유의 목재문화와 시멘트문화가 균형을 이루는 사회로 구분된다. 이와 같은 목재문화의 유형을 문화변동의 측면에서 분류하면, 목재문화에서 시멘트문화로의 변동, 시멘트문화에서 목재문화로의 변동, 목재문화 자체의 변동으로 분류할 수 있다. 또한 변동수준에 따라 분류하면 미시적 변동, 중간적 변동, 거시적 변동으로 분류된다. 이상과 같이 목재문화를 사회학적으로 조명하는 새로운 접근방법과 공학적 연구가 함께 진행되어 빠른 시일내에 학계에서 "목재문화론" 또는 "목재문화학"이 체계적으로 정립되기를 바란다.

  • The article clarifies and divorces the concepts of distance learning systems "distance learning", "distance education", "distance technologies", "open education". The central concept of the DO system is "distance learning"; - an assessment of the use of distance technologies in the system of higher professional education in Ukraine was carried out, which showed that the dominant teaching technology at the moment is the technology of teaching using cases (case technology on paper and electronic media). It is determined that distance technologies based on the active use of technical teaching aids (network technologies, telecommunication technologies) find little use in the system of higher professional education in Ukraine.

  • A propeller-based seesaw system is a system that can represent one of axis of four propeller drones and its stabilization has been replaced by intelligent control system instead of often used control methods such as PID and state space. Today, robots are increasingly use machine learning methods to adapt to their environment and learn to perform the right actions. In this article, we propose a Q-learning-based approach to control the stability of a seesaw system with a propeller. From the experimental results that it is possible to fully learn the balance control of a seesaw system by correctly defining the state of the system, the actions to be performed, and the reward functions. Our proposed method solves the seesaw stabilization.

  • We have developed a robotic system for an automated parallel cell cultivation process that enables screening of induction parameters for the soluble expression of recombinant protein. The system is designed for parallelized and simultaneous cultivation of up to 24 different types of cells or a single type of cell at 24 different conditions. Twenty-four culture vessels of about 200 ml are arranged in four columns${\times}$six rows. The system is equipped with four independent thermostated waterbaths, each of which accommodates six culture vessels. A two-channel liquid handler is attached in order to distribute medium from the reservoir to the culture vessels, to transfer seed or other reagents, and to take an aliquot from the growing cells. Cells in each vessel are agitated and aerated by sparging filtered air. We tested the system by growing Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells harboring a plasmid for a model protein, and used it in optimizing protein expression conditions by varying the induction temperature and the inducer concentration. The results revealed the usefulness of our custom-made cell cultivation robot in screening optimal conditions for the expression of soluble proteins.

  • The safety culture of an organization is the product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment, the style and proficiency, and an organization's health and safety management. A good safety culture includes effective, appropriate safety management systems; strong safety leadership & commitment from management; participation and involvement of the workforce; and organizational learning and continuous improvement. This paper will introduce the safety culture inspection standards and process in Korea Railway. The main purpose is to get a better understanding of safety culture and to develop measuring tool. First of all we developed the composition factor of safety culture and the question set. And we prepared the base of computerization of safety culture measurement by developing of evaluation standards and weighted value.

  • This article describes the automated incubator designs for white mushrooms growing. Mongolia has a very long and cold winter, so the process of growing mushrooms is short. Therefore, we aim to design an automated incubator system that has created a favorable artificial environment for mushroom growing by examining the necessary conditions for mushroom growing. This system was designed to be able to hold for some time the required levels of soil moisture, air humidity, soil temperature, air temperature, and CO2 levels. This article presents the results of a system-based experiment that allows you to grow mushrooms for 30 days without human interference.
