Communication as a process of interpreting signs has always existed in people's life. In post-information society, the communication between a person and a technological system through the specific sign-attaching process becomes widespread. Moreover, it somehow replaces usual communication between people. One of the means of communication in the digital space are video games. They not only play an important role in communication processes, but also are a special case of sign-creating and interpreting. The purpose of the article is to examine video games as a space of sign-based communication between a person and a game as a specific digital system. With the help of general scientific and hermeneutic methodology, the analysis of video games as a post-information society phenomenon which people communicate to has been conducted. The process of semiosis as attaching special meanings to signs has been traced in both manipulating in-game objects and characters and understanding rules of an in-game world.

현대사회에서 과학기술은 긍정성과 부정성의 양면을 지니고 있다. 과학기술의 긍정성에만 초점을 맞추는 사장들은 과학기술에 대한 사회적 수용성을 강조하는 반면, 과학기술의 부정성에만 초점을 맞추는 사람들은 과학기술에 대한 사회적 통제를 강조하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 본 논문은 이처럼 과학기술에 대한 사회적 수용과 통제를 상호 배타적인 것으로 보는 기계적 대립구도를 무너뜨리고 양자를 유기적 연관을 가지는 것으로 파악하고자 한다. 즉, 본 논문은 과학기술에 대한 진정한 의미의 사회적 수용성은 과학기술에 대한 일반 시민들의 광범위한 참여에 기반한 공공적 토론을 통해 사회적 통제를 행사함으로써 증진될 수 있다고 보는 것이다. 물론 이처럼 사회적 통제를 거친 다음에 수용되는 과학기술은 원래의 그것과는 내용과 형태 둥에 있어 다소 달라질 수 있는데, 이는 사회적 통제가 과학기술을 재구성하는 역할을 하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제의식에서 본 논문은 우리나라에서도 지난 1990년대 중반 이후부터 사회적으로 격렬한 논란거리가 되어 온 생명공학 분야, 특히 유전자변형 작물과 생명복제 문제를 사례로 하여 과학기술을 둘러싼 사회적 논쟁과 시민사회단체들의 활동들을 과학기술의 사회적 통제와 수용성의 연계라는 점에서 분석하고 있다.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the impacts of gen-Z's perception of consumer-generated content on social media on their travel intention with the mediating role of travel motivation push and pull. An online questionnaire survey of a total of 369 samples was conducted with the participation of gen Z in the most important cities across Vietnam. The model was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS program 22 to investigate model relationships and all hypotheses are significant. The findings indicated that gen Z values the usefulness of social media and they use social media for knowledge-seeking (push factor), and this leads to their intention to visit a destination. SEM analysis also reveals that gen Z tends to use social media to find accessibility to any destinations and they are motivated highly with destinations that have clear and easy access, for example, no visa requirement or neighboring destinations. As the result, they have better intentions to visit these destinations. This research will help marketers, especially marketing specialists to gain a better understanding of gen Z, thus implement better marketing techniques to target gen Z.

사회현상은 복잡한 변수들에 의해서 변화되고 있기 때문에 새로운 과학적 인식론과 방법론의 기초가 요구되며, 우리가 직면한 문제들을 분석하기 위해서는 패러다임 전환의 체계적 이해가 필요하다. 본 연구는 자연과학에서 발전시킨 카오스 이론을 제시하여 현대 사회의 비정상성을 논함으로써 카오스 패러다임의 중요성을 제안하였다. 카오스 이론은 정치, 경제, 그리고 사회학의 주제를 가로지르는 광범위하고 다양한 사회현상에도 적용된다. 사회과학 연구에서 카오스 이론을 유효적절하게 개발하고 응용한다면, 사회현상을 탐구하기 위한 방법론적 및 이론적 기초를 강화하기 위한 수단으로서 유용한 패러다임의 역할을 수행하게 될 것이다.

이 논문의 목적은 기술사의 관점에서 사회구성주의의 주요 이슈를 검토하고 평가하는 데 있다. 사회구성주의 기술학은 기술변화에 대한 대안적 설명으로서 다양한 비판에 적극적으로 대응하는 가운데 자신의 논지를 발전시켜 왔다. 특히 사회구성주의와 기술사는 $\ulcorner$기술과 문화$\lrcorner$를 통해 서술과 이론에 관한 논쟁, 신뢰성과 퍼포먼스에 관한 논쟁, 자전거 변천과정의 사례에 관한 논쟁을 전개해 왔다. 기술사 연구자의 입장에서 볼 때 사회구성주의는 새로운 전문용어를 남용하고 있고 역사적 자료의 사용이 엄밀하지 못하며 연구 대상에 따른 제약을 충분히 고려하지 않고 있다. 또한 사회구성주의를 한국에 적용하기 위해서는 역사적 자료의 미비, 기술학습의 중요성, 관련사회집단의 특수성 등의 문제에 주의를 기울여야 한다.

Purpose - Most past studies related to this focused on the physical attractiveness of service employees, but this study emphasizes the social attractiveness and not just the physical attractiveness of employees. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to first categorize attractiveness as physical attractiveness and social attractiveness and to examine the impact of physical attractiveness on social attractiveness for service industry employees. Secondly, this study aimed at verifying the impact of physical attractiveness and social attractiveness on interpersonal trust. Third, it aimed at revealing the impact of interpersonal trust on customer satisfaction, as well as satisfaction on loyalty. Research design, data, and methodology - Questionnaires were distributed to customers that used beauty salon services, among the various service industries, to verify the hypothesis of this study. Also, hypothesis was analyzed with the structural equation method using Amos 20.0. Results - When presenting the results on verifying the research hypothesis, it was found that physical attractiveness had a positive impact on social attractiveness. Second, while physical attractiveness did not have a positive impact on interpersonal trust, social attractiveness was found to have a positive impact on interpersonal trust. Such results show that in forming interpersonal trust, social attractiveness was more important than physical attractiveness for service industry employees. This result is in contrast with the results of past studies, but it is different in that previous studies suggested only physical attractiveness and did not present social attractiveness in the hypothesis. Third, it was found that interpersonal trust had a positive impact on satisfaction, while satisfaction did not have a positive impact on loyalty. Conclusions - The biggest implication of this study is that it presented social attractiveness, which was rarely dealt with in past studies. Also, this study is significant in that it examined the relationship of physical attractiveness and social attractiveness. The results of this study show that in the service industry, the role of human elements such as service employees is important and that in addition to physical attractiveness, social attractiveness in the course of interaction such as communication with customers can also be an important strategic element.

Objectives: Given the importance of social determinants of health in promoting the health of slum residents, this study was conducted with the aim of identifying the main dimensions and components of these determinants. Methods: This scoping review study was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews). A comprehensive search was performed of PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles conducted from 2010 to the end of 2019. Studies were selected based on inclusion criteria, with a special focus on studies dealing with the social determinants of physical and mental health or illness. Results: Thirty-three articles were selected to extract information on the social determinants of health. After reviewing the articles, 7 main dimensions (housing, socioeconomic status of the family, nutrition, neighborhood characteristics, social support and social capital, occupational factors, and health behaviors) and 87 components were extracted as social determinants of health among slum dwellers. Conclusions: This framework could be used by planners, managers, and policy-makers when making decisions affecting the health of these settlements' residents due to the common characteristics of slums around the world, especially in developing countries.

Increased consensus among gerontologists exist on the need to pay greater attention to the reciprocal relationship between the social and spatial in order to understand the construction of aged identity and everyday lives of old people. With urbanization, spaces are increasingly age-graded and as a consequence, urban elders are socially isolated from the community. In this study, we examine the social interaction patterns in various places specifically designated for the elderly, such as the Senior Center, Senior Welfare Center, and Hall for the Aged in Seoul. Main purpose of this study is to understand everyday life experiences of space the elderly people residing in the city go through. Data were gathered through qualitative, case study method. Results show that such spaces were important sites for social interaction for urban elderly who lacked social spaces after retirement and active parenting role. Also, it was shown that each place presents different contexts for social interactions and certain components of social class differences existed. Heterogeneity within the participants of each place was also observed. Quite strong stereotypes about certain places were also observed among the urban elders. Based on these results, importance of developing a 'community perspective' in the study of old age is discussed.
