불과 수십 년 전의 일인 “위안부 사건”은 정치적 통풍구로써 법의 관점에서 볼 때 불편한 점이 있다. 정치적 통풍구의 관점에서 살펴볼 때, 제2차 세계 대전 중 일본군에 의해 일상화된 성노예시스템에 대한 배상을 구하거나 저항하기 위한 법적·정치적·문화적·외교적인 폭넓은 노력은 궁극적으로 인권의 정당성을 입증하는 것과 동일하게 평가될 것이다. 우리는 위안부 사건에는 법과 정치 사이에 훨씬 더 혼란스러운 상호 작용이 있다고 본다. 여성 비판법학자로서, 종종 민족주의자, 제국주의자, 자본주의자들의 틀에 의해 평가받는 피해자들을 대신하여 주장하고 있다는 것을 인식하면서, 우리는 성노예의 공포에 대한 진실하고 윤리적인 방법을 찾으려하고 있다. 위안부 문제에 대해 정치적으로 다양하게 반응하는 상황에서 법에 대한 우리 연구의 첫 번째 단계는 다음과 같다. 즉, 이 간단한 발표는 외교 스타일을 정의하고, 하나의 기준이 된 2011년 한국의 헌법재판소의 판결에 대한 헌법적인 체제와의 충돌에 대해 분석할 것이다. 외교 문제에 개입하는 것을 꺼리는 많은 나라의 법원과는 대조적으로, 헌법재판소는 과거 위안부 여성이었던 원고가 주장하는 헌법상 권리로서 한국 정부가 일본 정부에 대해 보상을 요구하는 양자 간 조약에서 분쟁 해결 조항을 체결할 것을 요구하는 재판을 받아들였다. 법학자들은 외교 문제에 대한 법원의 불가침 접근 방식에 대한 이유로 법에 대한 인식과 정치에 대한 인식을 구별하는 외교의 본질에 대한 법원의 가정을 구분하지 않는 경향이 있다. 우리는 외교나 외교스타일에 집중하는 것이 헌법재판소의 적극적인 개입 방식의 의미에 대해 생각하는 데 도움이 된다는 것을 보여줄 것이다. 정치에 대한 외교의 관계처럼 정치에 대한 법률의 관계는 정치적 사안의 통풍구라고 하기 보다는 소용돌이가 된다. 지금 이 순간은 우리가 의사 결정에 페미니스트적인 희망의 빛줄기를 인식하는 시점이다. The “Comfort Women incident,” now at least several decades old, troubles the familiar view of law as a funnel for politics. Viewed as a funnel, the wide range of legal, political, cultural, and diplomatic efforts to seek or resist redress for the system of sexual slavery institutionalized by the Japanese military during the Second World War would be assessed as ultimately pushing in the same direction: toward vindicating human rights. We see in the Comfort Women incident a far more chaotic interaction of law and politics. As critical legal feminists, we are concerned with finding a truthful and ethical way to respond to the horrors of sexual slavery, while also recognizing that claims on behalf of victims are often appropriated by nationalist, imperialist, and capitalist agendas. The first step in our project on the place of multi-situational law in a multi-situational politics of responses to the Comfort Women issue, this brief presentation identifies what we term the diplomatic style and analyses its collision with the constitutional law style in a landmark 2011 judgment of the Constitutional Court of Korea. In contrast to the reluctance of courts in many countries to intervene in foreign affairs, the Constitutional Court held that the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs, former Korean Comfort Women, required the Korean government to use the dispute settlement provisions in a bilateral treaty to seek compensation for the plaintiffs from the government of Japan. Legal scholars tend not to separate out courts’ assumptions about the nature of diplomacy as one reason for their hands-off approach to foreign affairs, as distinct from concerns about law on the one hand and politics on the other. We show that focusing on diplomacy and the diplomatic style helps us to think about the implications of the Constitutional Court’s more interventionist approach. The relationship of law to politics becomes, as with the relationship of diplomacy to politics, more of an eddy than a funnel. It is on this point that we perceive a glimmer of feminist hope in the decision.

Groupdynamics -How to strengthen the success of projects?

( Monica Norberg(msc Pedagogy) ),( Mia Ljungblom(msc Pedagogy) ) 한국품질경영학회 2015 한국품질경영학회 학술대회 Vol.2015 No.2

Background To improve the efficiency, to reduce costs, but still maintain or even increase the quality is a necessity for organizations today. To meet the demands and needs organizations implement various improvement models which often are carried out in different projects. Research shows that 60% of projects fail due to a lack of cooperation within the project team. How a group works together affects effectiveness and performance of the work. Research also shows that effectiveness of a group is achieved only if the group reaches a certain stage of the group dynamic process. Various group dynamic processes describe how a team develops over time where Wheelan’s model focuses on relationships/tasks, but also efficiency, structures, and goals. SPGR, a group dynamic theory by Sjøvold lifts, in addition to group dynamics the individual perspective; how individuals are included in a group. If a group should be functional and effective; is it enough to be aware of the group process and to use a measuring tool to see how the group develops? Purpose The purpose with the study is to explore, during a three-year-period, if it is possible to follow a group’s development with the support of measurement tools, and based on the measurement actively work with group development. Methodology The study is longitudinal and will continue for three years, but in this first report, the first year’s results will be presented. In September 2014, 48 students began a program at a Swedish university. The program is focused on leadership, quality, and improvement. The students are divided in 9 groups with 3-6 people in each group. At three occasions during the academic year; at the beginning of October 2014, in the beginning of December, and in May 2015, each student completed two surveys: GDQ and SPGR. During the year, several observations of the groups implemented as a complement to the survey responses. Findings The result so far has shown how groups evolve differently over time and with the support of the two different measurement tools, it provides a good basis for group development. The groups have come into different phases of a group which has impacted on how they act in the group and effectiveness has been affected. The results also demonstrate that it seems not enough to use one measurement method to achieve a good picture of the group development. Research Limitation/implication Although efforts to maintain each group intact, it has been impossible when students have stopped or changed program. All changes in the groups have been attempted to be made with minimal impact on as few groups as possible. Originality/Value We can right now see the use of only one measurement is not enough to determine a group’s development. The result demonstrates that it is possible to note how different groups develop and how it is visible in the result.

Data anomaly detection for structural health monitoring of bridges using shapelet transform

Monica Arul,Ahsan Kareem 국제구조공학회 2022 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.29 No.1

With the wider availability of sensor technology through easily affordable sensor devices, several Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems are deployed to monitor vital civil infrastructure. The continuous monitoring provides valuable information about the health of the structure that can help provide a decision support system for retrofits and other structural modifications. However, when the sensors are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, the data measured by the SHM systems tend to be affected by multiple anomalies caused by faulty or broken sensors. Given a deluge of high-dimensional data collected continuously over time, research into using machine learning methods to detect anomalies are a topic of great interest to the SHM community. This paper contributes to this effort by proposing a relatively new time series representation named "Shapelet Transform" in combination with a Random Forest classifier to autonomously identify anomalies in SHM data. The shapelet transform is a unique time series representation based solely on the shape of the time series data. Considering the individual characteristics unique to every anomaly, the application of this transform yields a new shape-based feature representation that can be combined with any standard machine learning algorithm to detect anomalous data with no manual intervention. For the present study, the anomaly detection framework consists of three steps: identifying unique shapes from anomalous data, using these shapes to transform the SHM data into a local-shape space and training machine learning algorithms on this transformed data to identify anomalies. The efficacy of this method is demonstrated by the identification of anomalies in acceleration data from an SHM system installed on a long-span bridge in China. The results show that multiple data anomalies in SHM data can be automatically detected with high accuracy using the proposed method.

Age and gender differences: Understanding mature online users with the online purchase intention model

Monica Law,Mark Ng 한국마케팅과학회 2016 마케팅과학연구 Vol.26 No.3

This study examines how demographic factors and different antecedents of mature online users relate to their purchase intention. Results obtained from a survey of about 400 respondents in Hong Kong and analyzed with a structural equation model indicate that security has a direct relationship only with purchase intention, whereas attitude is linked with innovativeness, usefulness, ease of purchase and online purchase intention, and attitude performs full mediation between usefulness and online purchase intention. Users aged 41–50 have a higher perceived ease of purchasing than older users (aged 51–70), and males have stronger personal innovativeness and perceived usefulness than females. This research makes a contribution to the understanding of mature users’ online purchase intention; it also provides significant implications of segmentation and marketing strategies and supports the view that online marketers should formulate different strategies to enhance mature users’ online experience and treat various kinds of users differently.

Reliability of analytical models for the prediction of out-of-plane capacity of masonry infills

Monica Pasca,Laura Liberatore,Renato Masiani 국제구조공학회 2017 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.64 No.6

The out-of-plane response of infill walls has recently gained a growing attention and has been recognised fundamental in the damage assessment of reinforced concrete and steel framed buildings subjected to seismic loads. The observation of damage after earthquakes highlighted that out-of-plane collapse of masonry infills may occur even during seismic events of low or moderate intensity, causing both casualty risks and unfavourable situations affecting the overall structural response. Even though studies concerning the out-of-plane behaviour of infills are not as many as those focused on the in-plane response, in the last decades, a substantial number of researches have been carried out on the out-of-plane behaviour of infills. In this study, the out-of-plane response is investigated considering different aspects. First, damages observed after past earthquakes are examined, with the aim of identifying the main parameters involved and the most critical configurations. Secondly, the response recorded in about 150 experimental tests is deeply examined, focusing on the influence of geometrical characteristics, boundary conditions, prior in-plane damage, presence of reinforcing elements and openings. Finally, different theoretical capacity models and code provisions are discussed and compared, giving specific attention to those based on the arching theory. The reliability of some of these models is herein tested with reference to experimental results. The comparison between analytically predicted and experimental values allows to appreciate the extent of approximation of such methods.

Beyond the Limits of the Local

Monica E. Eppinger(모니카 에핑어) 이화여자대학교 젠더법학연구소 2013 이화젠더법학 Vol.5 No.2

For much of its twentieth century history, international law has failed those who suffered sexual violence during armed conflict. Neglected by international law, any legal consequences were limited to local jurisdictions whose legal institutions were, not infrequently, impaired under circumstances of war or occupation. The recent emergence of new legal doctrines criminalizing sexual violence during armed conflict under the international law of war is shifting the scope of legal concern and creating a new space for action. In this article, I trace the development of the new sexual violence jurisprudence and consider how communities of fate emerging in response are changing patterns of international norm formation and diffusion. I suggest the term biojuridical citizenship to describe new forms of community, patterns of affiliation, and grounds for future action.

Bilateral thyrolinguofacial trunk: unusual and rare branching pattern of external carotid artery

Monica Baxla,Chiman Kumari,Saroj Kaler 대한해부학회 2018 Anatomy & Cell Biology Vol.51 No.4

Prior knowledge of arterial supply to the head and neck is of substantial importance for well-planned surgeries involving the concerned region. We are reporting an unusual and rare variation in the branching pattern of external carotid artery in a 60-year-old female cadaver. A common trunk known as thyrolinguofacial trunk, originating from the anterior surface of the external carotid artery (right and left) giving of superior thyroid artery and a linguofacial trunk during a routine neck dissection. The linguofacial trunk then divided into a lingual and a facial artery. Vascular abnormalities are usually detected either on the dissection table or by the radiologists during imaging or accidently during surgeries leading to serious consequences.

Hinge rotation of a morphing rib using FBG strain sensors

An original sensor system based on Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) for the strain monitoring of an adaptive wing element is presented in this paper. One of the main aims of the SARISTU project is in fact to measure the shape of a deformable wing for performance optimization. In detail, an Adaptive Trailing Edge (ATE) is monitored chord- and span-wise in order to estimate the deviation between the actual and the desired shape and, then, to allow attaining a prediction of the real aerodynamic behavior with respect to the expected one. The integration of a sensor system is not trivial: it has to fit inside the available room and to comply with the primary issue of the FBG protection. Moreover, dealing with morphing structures, large deformations are expected and a certain modulation is necessary to keep the measured strain inside the permissible measure range. In what follows, the mathematical model of an original FBG-based structural sensor system is presented, designed to evaluate the chord-wise strain of an Adaptive Trailing Edge device. Numerical and experimental results are compared, using a proof-of-concept setup. Further investigations aimed at improving the sensor capabilities, were finally addressed. The elasticity of the sensor structure was exploited to enlarge both the measurement and the linearity range. An optimisation process was then implemented to find out an optimal thickness distribution of the sensor system in order to alleviate the strain level within the referred component.
