Traditional Processes and Modern Products

現代建築에 있어서 實用性 爲主로 잘못받아 들여진 모더니즘에 對한 覺醒은, 그에 따른 놀랄만한 程度의 多樣한 反發을 일으켰다. 이러한 反發로 因하여 過去의 樣式을 再評價·在活用 하는 움직임이 나타났다. 한便, 最近까지 傳統이 强하게 維持되어 왔던 社會에서는 現代的 建物에 傳統的 要素와 이미지를 附與하고저 하는 傾向이 보인다. 過去 建築樣式을 引用하던지, 特定 地域(國家)의 傳統的 要素를 在活用하던지 간에 現代建築은 사람들에게 所屬感을 주지 못하고 共同體를 造成하는 데 要請되는 組織도 磨鍊하지 못하고 있는 實情이다. 現代建築의 이러한 失敗의 原因은 建物의 視覺的 效果에 對해서는 지나친 關心을 사는 反面, 建物이 뒷받침하고 對應해야 하는 個人的·社會的 作用들에 대해서는 無關心하는 데에 있다. 여기서 要請되는 것은 建築을 物體로 (또는 製品으로) 論하는 것이 아니라, 造形過程으로 그리고 特히 建築家·社會·커뮤니티 간의 關係로 論하는 것이다. 그렇게 하므로서 傳統과 現代性을 連結하는 줄기를 찾게 되고 더불어 個人과 커뮤니티가 自己 可能性을 遺憾없이 發揮하게 해줄 建築이 어떤 것인가를 提示하게 될 것이다. The current disillusionment with the utilitarian buildings of a degraded Modernism and the extraordinary plurality of reactions against it (many of them dependent upon appropriating history) are being paralleled in societies that were more recently fully traditional by attempts to incorporate traditional architectural elements and images in an otherwise modern architecture. Drawing selectively upon history and re-using local traditions are not the same thing, but neither seems to be producing an architecture that creates a sense of place and an adequate frame for community development. The reason for this failure lies in an obsession with the visual architectural object and a corresponding neglect of many of the processes (personal and social) that buildings should properly both support and respond to. It is here that a shift in the debate away from architecture as objects (products) towards archetecture as process, and particularly to the relationships between architect, society and communety, significantly widens the possibilities both of finding a viable strand of continuity between tradition and modernity and of outlining an architecture through which individuals and communities can develop their fullest potentials.

India and China: From Trade to Peace?

Christopher Rusko,Karthika Sasikumar 경남대학교 극동문제연구소 2007 ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Vol.31 No.4

Since the late 1950s, relations between India and China have been fraught with tension and conflict. Yet the two countries have recently enjoyed a significant improvement in bilateral relations. In this article, we explore potential economic reasons for this rapprochement. We set out three possible mechanisms by which commercial interdependence could lead states toward peace, and then examine their operation in the India-China case. We conclude that the most likely explanation for the relational change is the concerted effort in both countries to be seen as responsible participants in the global economy. Thus, general economic prudence, rather than any specific bilateral factor, may be having a positive effect on the India-China relationship.

Exploring Capitalist Development in Greater China: A Synthesis

Christopher A. McNally,Yin-Wah Chu 경남대학교 극동문제연구소 2006 ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Vol.30 No.2

This article explores the dynamics of capitalist development in the three political economies of Greater China. We have two purposes in mind. First, we hope to produce a fresh understanding of Mainland China’s economic rise, interpreting it as associated with the process of late capitalist development. Second, we use a comparison with Taiwan and Hong Kong to examine whether China has converged with or diverged from four salient aspects of late capitalist development: the character of state ruler incentives, or the “will to develop”; the nature and structure of state-society relations; the role of business enterprises and business networks in supporting initial capitalist accumulation; and the transition of state-business interactions over time from mutual distrust to engagement and cooperation. In so doing, we hope to use comparative analysis to integrate the crucial case of China into broader inquiries on the nature and logic of capitalist development.

Australia and the Threat of Terrorism in the Decade after 9/11

Christopher Michaelsen 서울대학교행정대학원 2010 Asian Journal of Political Science Vol.18 No.3

In February 2010, the Australian government released its second Counter-TerrorismWhite Paper, claiming that terrorism continues to pose a serious security challenge toAustralia. The article critically re-examines the terrorist threat to Australia and exploresthe threat posed by the traditional Al-Qaeda leadership, by regional organisations likeJemaah Islamiyah and by so-called ‘home-grown’ terrorists. Arguing that it is imperativeto differentiate clearly between the threat to Australia and Australian interests abroad,the article identifies the sources of threat in the Australian context. It concludes thatneither Al-Qaeda nor Jemaah Islamiyah nor home-grown terrorism poses any significantobjective threat to Australia. At the same time it is acknowledged that the subjectiveperception of the terrorist necessitates the government to develop an effective counter-terrorism strategy. However, given that the terrorism threat is objectively low, policymeasures addressing the threat ought to be carefully designed to meet the requirements ofproportionality and (potential) effectiveness.

Experimental Characterisation of a Biologically Inspired 3D Steering Needle

Christopher Burrows,Riccardo Secoli,Ferdinando Rodriguez y Baena 제어로봇시스템학회 2013 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2013 No.10

Percutaneous intervention is a popular minimally invasive surgical technique, as it offers many potential advantages for the patient. Research efforts to date have focussed on improving the accuracy and applicability of this procedure through robotic control, in particular with the application of needle steering systems. Previously, we demonstrated two-dimensional (2D) steering within gelatine, with a prototype of a novel biologically inspired multi-segment needle, the STING. Then, a novel ‘programmable bevel’ concept, where the steering angle of the needle is a function of the offset between segments, was used to control the trajectory taken within the steering plane. This paper presents our first attempt to demonstrate controllable three-dimensional (3D) steering with a new four-segment prototype of the STING. We show that an approximately linear relationship exists between segment offset and curvature of the tip path for a single leading segment, as well as for two segments which are moved forward of the others by an equal amount. This characterisation is then demonstrated with 3D open loop experiments, which show that the established behaviour is applicable for controlled 3D steering along eight principal directions.

Energy policy in Germany and the European Union with special focus on “renewable Energy”

Christopher Stehr,Timo Herold 동아대학교 동아시아연구원 2009 동아시아 : 비교와 전망 Vol.8 No.2

The article describes the energy policy within the European Union (EU) and especially in Germany. It demonstrates how concrete approaches regarding renewable energies work. A special focus is on the feed-in tariff law for renewable energies in Germany. The practicability of political intervention will be analyzed. In this context the ecological and economical success of the energy policy of the EU and Germany are reviewed. The effect of such policies on the market shares will be discussed. With this, the energy policy of the EU and Germany will be evaluated and challenges for future interventions will be displayed. Another goal of the article is to show options for other countries and regions to adopt parts of the energy policy.

Citizen based employee of the month program for local government workers: to improve city worker productivity and citizen participation

( Christopher James Green ) 한국행정학회 2013 한국행정학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.2013 No.-

Working for public organizations has many rewards most of those rewards are not always direct but internal and can either be pride of a sense of self-worth by helping others. However working in the public sector, managers often have problems getting their workers to be more productive and also remember who they are there to serve. Many business organizations use employee of the month programs to increase worker productivity. Of these methods many programs of employee recognition have been tried such as manager or coworker recognition programs. Employee recognition programs have their merits but are mostly internal affairs. The basis of this research if to investigate whether a citizen based employee recognition program could be used to increase worker productivity and in turn increase city productivity as a whole for local government.

An Investigation of Korean College Students’ Perceptions of Interactions During Remote Courses Caused by COVID-19

Christopher Irvin,박성만 한국영어어문교육학회 2021 영어어문교육 Vol.27 No.1

The aim of this study was to investigate specific examples and suggestions related to the personal experiences of university students during remote courses. A total of 148 first-year students completed a semi-structured qualitative survey composed of 13 questions to determine their reflections and perspectives towards their first semester of remote learning; then, the data was analyzed through thematic, descriptive, and inductive analysis procedures with non-statistical analysis. Key findings are as follows: First, students felt that interactions could be completed more effectively if multiple modes of communication were utilized. Second, efforts should be made by the professor to encourage more student interactions, with students suggesting that an increase in verbal communications, better organizations, more coordination, and improved monitoring of students could be accomplished through holding more synchronous classes, expanding the number of speaking activities, and employing more teacher demonstrations and so on. Third, students realize more personal efforts and ownership of student-to-student and student-to-teacher interactions are needed to interact with a larger number of peers in their classes, but also there is presently a large desire to include more real-time and verbal interactions. Specific comments and examples related to what students experienced and suggested for improving future online classes are discussed.
