CRITICAL DISPLACEMENTS: ON THE SOCIO-POLITICAL POTENTIAL OF ‘WEARABLE’ STRUCTURES
Authors: LÁZAR Edith , BORȘ Sabin
Published: June 2018

In this article, we discuss the potential of wearable structures to provide effective social commentaries and address the political representation of refugees, migrants, and nomads. We take Lucy Orta’s Refuge Wear as an occasion to address a series of socio-political considerations around wearables, textiles, communication, and technology, as well as the role of urban and social environments in determining architectures of mobility. Finally, we provide a critique of framing concepts such as relational aesthetics, heterotopias, nomadology, or deterritorialization—to propose a rethinking of wearables based on the idea of critical habitats and responsible resource-based philosophies.
MODE, VETEMENTS, TECHNOLOGIE. ESSAI SUR LA PORTABILITE DE LA TECHNIQUE

Published: June 2018

The present paper addresses the concepts of cloth, fashion and wearable technologies and analysis the way in which cloths and fashion are theorized and the way in which the integration of electronic components and digital devices into the structure of the fabrics are creating precedencies for the transformation of cloth into a technology. By mapping some of the key concepts in fashion theory and their relationship to the definition of personhood, community and society, we are going to show how the first wearable technologies have taken into consideration these concepts in their design processes. Based on our analysis we will emphasize the importance of political stance when it comes to the design of communicative cloths and fashionable technologies.

Aims

The analysis evaluated the contemporary percentage of patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) reaching the European guidelines recommended LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels of less than 70 mg/dl and the threshold required for proprotein convertase subtlisin/kexin type 9 reimbursement in Italy (100 mg/dl). It also assessed how these percentages would change in case of diffuse use of ezetimibe.

Methods

The Dyslipidemia International Study II enrolled CHD patients aged at least 18 either on lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) for at least 3 months or not on LLT at the time of the lipid profile. Distribution of LLTs and LDL-C target attainment were assessed. Multivariate logistic regression evaluated predictors of LDL-C target attainment. A 24% LDL-C lowering was modeled in patients not taking ezetimibe to assess its potential effects.

Results

Among 676 Italian CHD patients enrolled, LDL-C concentrations were lower among the 631 patients (93.3%) who were on LLT (82 versus 118 mg/dl; P < 0.001). The LDL-C target was attained by 35.4% of patients. Statin dose (median atorvastatin dose 40 mg/day) was the sole significant predictor of LDL-C target attainment. The simple addition of ezetimibe in the model reduced the percentage of patients more than 70 and 100 mg/dl from 64.6 to 37.9% and from 25.1 to 11.8%, respectively.

Conclusion

Despite treatment in more than 90%, only one-third of Italian stable CHD patients attained the recommended LDL-C target. Statin dose was the sole predictor of the target achievement. The addition of ezetimibe would almost double patients at target and halve the potential candidates for reimbursement of more expensive agents such as proprotein convertase subtlisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors.

Systematic Comparison of Monte Carlo Annealing and Covariance Matrix Adaptation for the Optimization of ReaxFF Parameters
Authors: Shchygol Ganna , Yakovlev Alexei , Trnka Tomáš , C.T. van Duin Adri , Verstraelen Toon
Published: June 2018

ReaxFF is a computationally efficient force field to simulate complex reactive dynamics in extended molecular models with diverse chemistries, if reliable force-field parameters are available for the chemistry of interest. If not, they must be calibrated by minimizing the error ReaxFF makes on a relevant training set. Because this optimization is far from trivial, many methods, in particular genetic algorithms (GAs), have been developed to search for the global optimum in parameter space. Recently, two alternative parameter calibration techniques were proposed, i.e.\ Monte-Carlo Force Field optimizer (MCFF) and Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolutionary Strategy (CMA-ES), which have the potential to find good parameters at a relatively low computational cost. In this work, these two methods are tested, as implemented in ADF2018, using three ReaxFF training sets, which have previously been used to benchmark GAs. Even though MCFF and CMA-ES should not be considered as exhaustive global optimizers, they can find parameters that are comparable in quality to those obtained with GAs. We observe that CMA-ES leads to slightly better results and is less sensitive to the initial guess of the parameters. Concrete recipes are provided for obtaining similar results with new training sets.Besides optimization recipes, a successful ReaxFF parameterization requires the design of a good training set. At every trial set of parameters, ReaxFF is used to optimize molecular geometries in the training set. When the optimization of some geometries fails easily, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the optimal parameters. We have addressed this issue by fixing several bugs in the ReaxFF forces and by improving the robustness of the geometry optimization. These improvements cannot eliminate all geometry convergence issues and we recommend to avoid very flexible geometries in the training set.Both MCFF and CMA-ES are still liable to converge to sub- or near-optimal parameters, which we detected by repeating the calibration with different random seeds. The existence of distinct near-optimal parameter vectors is a general pattern throughout our study and provides opportunities to improve the training set or to detect overfitting artifacts.

The algorithm of parry failures in the onboard digital computer complexes with the structural and time redundancy
Authors:   Military Aerospace Defense Academy, Viktorov D. S. , Samovolina E. V. ,   Military Aerospace Defense Academy
Published: June 2018

Currently, the problem of ensuring reliable operation of onboard digital computing systems is becoming increasingly important. When designing on-Board digital computing systems of spacecraft, it is necessary to provide a combination of a number of indicators: high performance, minimal mass-size and energy characteristics, availability of diagnostic tools and parry the consequences of failures. In addition, one of the main requirements for the onboard digital computing complex of spacecraft is the high total reliability of the system, the minimum time for detection and parry of failures. To improve the reliability of control systems, there are many ways, the main of which is structural redundancy. The use of reservations makes it possible, through the introduction of redundancy, by voting to identify the failed system and exclude it from the configuration. However, in onboard digital computing complexes the failure rate is much lower than the failure rate. This can cause the failure to be perceived by the system as a failure and cause the system to exit the configuration of a healthy channel. By returning the program to the previous recovery point and passing the program fragment again, you can classify the type of failure/failure. Under this approach, the reconfiguration of the system will occur only after unsuccessful attempts to pass a fragment of the program n times (as a rule, the technique is used repeat 7–8 times). The aim of the work is to develop an algorithm for parrying failures in onboard computing systems with three-channel architecture, which involves the complex application of test control and recovery points with different dominance depending on the number of serviceable channels.

Authors: Jalil Wijdan Deyaa Abdul , Mahmood Hadeel Mowaffaq
Published: June 2018

The contemporary development in the field of the digital technology for the media has been witnessed an increasing use in the urban scene of the city. This causes disconnection of the visual references of the place, which are replaced by a simulation of the reality by digital images as an alternative to the physical presence. So, the Availability and spread of the new means of visual communication and information technologies create new symbols of contemporary life, that have different levels of acceptances by users. The problem of research is: “The need to detect the user's evaluation of the use of media technology in the urban scene”. The research proposal is: The excessive use of media in urban scene led to visual pollution and the lack of sense of place. For its methodology, the research follows three steps: First, the review of the architectural writings that have agreement or disagreement of the presence of media in the urban scene, to find the scalable items to measure the user’s evaluation of the urban scene. Second, the implementation of the Questionnaire, which is made by choosing of five case studies representing various urban scenes in Baghdad city (where the media is used), to adopt the questionnaire form designed, as a means of measuring user’s evaluation. The research Sample was 40 persons (not architects) and 70 persons (the architects), who have visited the case study sites several times. Third, by using questionnaire form and excel program, the results are Calculated. The research concluded some negative issues, that should be noticed while using media in the urban scene, to avoid visual pollution and provide the sense of place with the help of the specialists. The ease of recognizing and understanding of the user and the limited use of the media are the most important evaluation factors in user preferences.

Authors: Sarhan Sarhan Abdulsatar , Jalil Shaker Abdulatif
Published: June 2018

The problem of suspended material and its deposition can be reduced by the combined system of weir and gate flow. Simulating this system aims to understand and analyse the mutual effect of them. Experimental work has been carried out to validate models of the combined system. Vertical sharp edges of gate and weir are tested by changing four times gate opening. The simulations base on RNG k- ε turbulence model and a comparison between flow surface profile and discharge has been done and they showed acceptable reliability. The investigation indicats that two flow portions separate at different levels depending on upstream depth and this separation level falls to reach halve of the distance between system edges as the depth increases. The relative weir to gate discharge increases from 0.4 up to 1.8 as gate opening decreases 60%. As total depth of flow upstream (H) increases by 46%, the discharge of gate increase 5%, 7%, 12%, 26% for gate opening of 2, 3, 4, 5 cm respectively, while the weir dischage increase about 5 times. The Weir in combined system performs better by 5% to 20% as compared with the conventional one. Within the study limitations, two mathematical models are suggested to predict discharge of weir in a system and for the gate with acceptable coefficient of determination.

Le pontificat romain dans l’époque contemporaine | The Papacy in the Contemporary Age
Authors: Vian Giovanni
Published: June 2018

The volume, deepening specific aspects of the popes from Pius X to Francis, offers, overall, a historical reading of the papacy from the early twentieth century to the present. In this time – between uncertainties, resistances, cautious openings – the papacy realised the transition from intransigent Catholicism to dialogue with modernity and its most characteristic cultural, political and social expressions. In this regard, the presence of swings and retractions in the popes of the last decades are also an expression of the troubles that have marked the long and difficult coexistence between papacy, Roman Catholic Church and modernity, until pope Bergoglio’s new guidelines.

A Study on the Diplomatic Maneuverability of North Korea Toward the United States
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Jung Hyun-Soo , Kim Hyung-Jae
Published: June 2018

The object this article is to analyze the North Korea's diplomatic maneuverability toward the United States. This paper explores the factors that enabled a weak state like North Korea to enjoy diplomatic successes with the United States. Because this extraordinary phenomenon cannot be clearly explained by traditional international relations theories, it is necessary to consider the fundamentals of weak states' foreign policy toward powerful states. Historical cases show that it is uncommon but not impossible for weak nations to take advantage of powerful nations, and this research explains this phenomenon using the concept of ‘diplomatic maneuverability.'Diplomatic maneuverability is defined that small-weak state influenced its logic and interest against strong states. The small state's diplomatic maneuverability enlarges policy options against strong state's pressure and intervention.
North Korea in the 1990s maintained its practice of developing nuclear materials into weapons of mass destruction despite the coercive denuclearization policy of the United States. The North made this possible by enacting diplomatic maneuverability towards the different North Korea policies of Clinton and Bush administrations. Ineffective counteraction by the United States against the North's “Military-first” policy, which was implemented during the rule of Kim Il Sung, allowed the North to achieve its agenda.
The military-first diplomacy, which is North Korea's basic diplomatic strategy toward the US, is essentially the coercive diplomacy strategy represented by asymmetric deterrence and compellence. The North Korea's military-first diplomacy is a form of a hostile and confrontational strategy.
North Korea took the initiative in systematically presenting to the US its comprehensive package deal based upon the package deal of the first nuclear negotiation which North Korea wanted to restore. North Korea's response during Bush government was mor firm, aggressive, and systematic. It semms that North Korea has learned how to deal with the US from the experience of the Clinton government.
Therefore, the North's sustained development of its nuclear program is not only a product of the country's own diplomatic success but also diplomatic failure by the United States.
Multiculturalism and Female Marriage Immigrants in Korea
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Cho Hee-Won
Published: June 2018

Presently, the number of residing foreigners became over 1.1 million, reaching 2.2% out of total population. Compared with developed countries, though it is low percentage, when considering the increasing speed of incoming foreigners, low birth rate and aging, the transition to multicultural society is not our choice but necessity. An increase of female marriage immigrants in Korea is not only the result of population movement caused by super-national globalization but also in other side, proceeded with Korean demographic traits such as low birth rate, aging, inequality in sex rates, increased rate of spinsters and action of Korean women's values which is avoiding rural area.
The rate of female marriage immigrants had largely increased from mid-1990's caused by amity with mainland china, and after 2000, most of cases were that women came from underdeveloped countries got married so called Korean dream of Korean nationality acquisition and upgrade of economic position and etc. through marriage as a means of escaping from poverty. Particularly, as men like bachelors in farming and fishing communities were excluded in marriages with Korean women due to the his economic level or cultural conditions, from 1995, government initiated the campaign “getting a bride for a rural bachelor” and consequently international marriages were further more increased. However, as disguised marriage problem with Korean Chinese women has become a serious social issue, in 2000's, trend is that international marriages with women came from underdeveloped countries like south-east Asian countries, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, etc. were increased, while international marriages with Korean Chinese women were decreased.
For coexisting society with mutual respects among multi-races/multi-cultures, it is required that making immigrants have recognition of new citizen in Korean society as members of local community at the same time natives have recognition of comprehension and tolerance to agree and respect mutually other things not as wrong but as special ones. That is, It is required to promote awareness of new democratic citizenship recognizing positively differences, being different resulted from social-cultural diversities such as race, nation and religion, etc. emerging in multi-cultural society and regarding those as valuable and mutually respecting ones. We need to make female marriage immigrants to recognize their importance and necessity as political being in Korean political society and make foundation for them to live as proud democratic citizen in local community.
Study on Improvement of Business Management Education Efficiency in Korean Universities: Based on the Situated Learning Theory
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Moon Yong-Ho , Shin Ji-Sook
Published: June 2018

The situated learning is a teachingㆍlearning theory based upon the constructivism education philosophy currently appearing newly, which motivates students by providing actual problems in actual situation. And it is a teachingㆍlearning method not only to help students have obvious meaning and purpose of learning but also to heighten application ability in their actual life after learning. Therefore, if we use the situated learning theory for the business management education in which issues occurring actually in enterprises are treated, it will be helpful in the raise of interest level and the improvement of learning attitude and learning achievement. Accordingly, in this study, we tried to analyze the effects that teaching plan and application using the situated learning theory gives to business management education from the points of interest level in subjects, learning attitude and learning achievement.
The results of this study may be summarized as followings. First, traditional teaching method focused on existing lectures gave negative effects to students' interest in subject and learning attitude due to rise in a level of difficulty according to the progress of class. However, the experimental group who were led classes by applying for teaching materials developed based upon situated learning theory showed interest level in the subject and learning attitude without change both before and after experiment. Second, the teaching method based upon situated learning theory was helpful for improvement of students' learning achievement compared to traditional teaching method focused on lectures.
It is considered that these results gave positive effects to interest in subjects and learning attitude by maintaining interest in subjects and attitude up to the condition of the beginning of semester through providing the situations which may actually occur in enterprises and daily life cases and autonomous participation in class. Also, it is interpreted that students share information one another through autonomous participation and cooperative study so that it may reduce variation in academic results and improve academic results.
However, for the situated learning theory to be more effective, it is necessary to exercise situated learning after explanation of basic concepts for easy understanding of situation or to use videos or visual materials. Moreover, it is important to seek actual situation corresponding to the subject of the lecture and to develop learning materials suitable to the lecture contents.
Tax Management and Performance Evaluation in the Foreign Subsidiary
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, OH Moon-Sok
Published: June 2018

During the business decision-making process, the tax environment is considered more important than the economic function of the foreign country, because the tax level can be very important environmental factor when the business performances, including parent company and foreign subsidiary, is evaluated.
Global firms give a motive to CEO to make foreign subsidiary get better results. But during the process of funds transfer, the tax management which carries heavy tax burden can be negative factor that decreases the autonomy of CEO.
Also, the point of autonomy of foreign subsidiary has a considerable relationship with matters of arbitrary decision by the CEO. Many parent companies have most of all parts of decision power. Therefore foreign subsidiaries are under control of parent company, which is shown by many researches.
But by other research, we can see that the faster in going of foreign subsidiary and the longer time of in going, the more decision power are increased and the higher autonomy levels are given. And the higher autonomy levels are given, the higher foreign subsidiary's earning is achieved too. The delegation of decision power induces the high performance of CEO, which is also called virtuous circle. This means that autonomy level which is given to CEO is becoming the basic evaluation factors of foreign subsidiary.
The efficient transfer of technical and managerial know-how from parent company, to foreign subsidiary, and foreign subsidiaries of global firms are significant factors of achievements in target earnings. It's, however, critically effected by international transfer pricing taxation and it can cause tax burden which is called international double taxation. In this case, the cost-sharing arrangement between parent company and foreign subsidiaries can be effective in managing taxation business.
But in case of foreign subsidiary which has low level of autonomy, the cost-sharing arrangement increases the cost which is an effects of tax saving. But in the other hand, it has negative effect to CEO for foreign subsidiary.
Eventually, to CEO who manages foreign subsidiary which has high level of autonomy, earning indicator is a significant factor for performance evaluation. Using new technology and tax saving money, cost-sharing arrangement will be a basic development source of foreign subsidiary. It, however, will take a long time to produce significant results. So, the CEO's performance has to be evaluated in the perspective of long time.
Analysis of Decreasing Saving Rate in Korea
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Yoo Kyeong-Won , Lee Hye-Eun
Published: June 2018

Compared to increase in US saving rate due to the financial crisis, the issue of decreasing saving rate in Korea is recently getting more important. However, the issue, why the saving rate in Korea has dropped so rapidly compared to the other countries appears to get relatively little attention in Korea and relatively a few studies have been done in a rigorous way. One of the recent studies from the Bank of Korea implies that the saving rate in Korea would be increased due to the expansion of the precautionary saving motive but its empirical evidence appears to be insufficient. This study synthetically analyses the reasons of decreasing saving rate using micro and macro data in Korea. The results of time series analysis show that the main reasons for the decreasing saving rates are low income growth rate, increasing property price, expansion of social security, increasing household debt, low interest rate, change of consumption pattern in Korea. Using the Korean household panel data, KLIPS, we also find that the change in saving motives after the 1997 financial crisis appears to have a relation with the structural factor of decreasing saving rate. The quantile regression results that we used here show that the realized saving rate due to the precautionary saving motive among other motives is the lowest one. Our results imply that the expansion of uncertainty around the society in Korea after the 1997 financial crisis could be one of the major factor for this change.

A Study on the Tang Shi’s Art of Poem Creation
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Lee Wen-Jun
Published: June 2018

Tang Shi's poetry describes with such beauty the integration of Chinese and Western poetry and individual pursuit. The poet has been respected with his personal styles for a long time. Tang Shi said: “The poet is the highest ideal of law, regardless of who he is, the totally consistent and complete sublimation of life experiences for literary experience, no waste, only the pure truth.” (Tang Shi: “Cindy ” contained “poetry to create” 1948) This is a “fusion” of the boundaries of subject and object devoid of a “Transformation.” Here, Tang Shi regarded the “fusion” state as the highest ideal of the poet, among his 1,111 kinds of basic poetic ideas. “Fusion” exists in a relationship, an artistic relationship between the various components of the interaction between networks. Tang Shi's poetic images in the discussion are related to the “relationship.” From the relationship between image and poetic image, the “image” is of course not the decorations. The poetic image is not a shape, but it should be a sense of inner spirit and integration. “From the relationship between the poet and the objective view of the world,” the image is the presence of the poet's real consideration of the objective world; on the other hand, the objective world is gathered in the poet's mind. The relationship between the objective view of the world and the poet image forms the structure of human spirit. “Image is produced from the most sober of mind and the most pious soul which interact together (Tang Shi: “On the image” contained in “Spring” 1948 No. 1). Between the poet and the objective view of the world, all the relationships are connected, and the “integration” state indicates a “relationship” of aesthetic state.
In his poetry and poetic practice as well as the poetic ideas of “fusion,” Tang Shi said that he “would like to try to fuse Chinese Classical and Modern Poetry with foreign poetry systematically.” (“New degree of set” in the “My Poetic Art.”) Tang Shi's attempt was very successful. His fusion of Chinese and foreign Poetics was commented by Mr Qian's praise, while he formed his own fusion style of Chinese and Western criticism. Tang Shi also “integrated” the implementation of poetic ideas in his own practice of poetry, and strived to integrate them with modern style.
Tang Shi's poem has classical beauty and modern Chinese cultural characteristics: beautiful words, delicate emotions, moving stories, uplifting warm, rich imagination, and so on. Also it has a modern Western characterization of the United States: a sonnet form, dramatic means, charming Italian deep thoughts, and so on. Through the perfect fusion of Chinese and Western art of poetry, his poem constitutes Qing Tang's aesthetic features. It is also a manifestation of his poetic personality.
Competitiveness of Top Management and Entrepreneurship : Case of Yukio Sakamoto, CEO of Elpida Memory

The purpose of this study is to consider the competitiveness of companies as managerial power of the top management. In my study the competitiveness of companies is deeply depended on the competitiveness of the top management, who has entrepreneurial ability.
Shouted long been a decline in competitiveness of Japanese companies, it can also mean an absolute decline in the competitiveness of the top management.
Since the 1990s Japan's semiconductor industry has been less competitive. As the cause, we can see a lack of entrepreneur as the top management. But now, Yukio Sakamoto, CEO of Elpida Memory Co., is considered as the typical entrepreneur in semiconductor industry.
He has a unique career. After graduation of Nippon Sport Science University (NSSU) in 1970, he got a job with Texas Instruments Japan. He worked for 28 years at TI Japan, was promoted to vice president. After leaving TI, he was scouted by Kobe Steel, for the reconstruction of the semiconductor business. After Successful reconstruction of the semiconductor business, he scouted by another Taiwanese semiconductor company, for the same reason. He became the specialist of reconstruction of semiconductor business. Thus, he spent 35 years before being CEO of Elpida, and the period was very important in training of being entrepreneur as the semiconductor specialist. Sakamoto became the CEO of Elpida in 2002 and launched an intense reform.
Elpida was established as a joint venture of NEC and Hitachi in 1999, so they had technical advantages in semiconductor industry. The problem is lack of funds for capital spending.
But most serious problem was lack of management or entrepreneur.
Sakamoto’s entrepreneurial activities were successful especially in inspiring engineers and making some strategic alliances with Taiwanese semiconductor companies. In order to catch up Korean leading companies, Samsung and Hynix, it is required to combine some Taiwanese companies in pursuit of scale. He is planning to make new alliance form with Taiwanese companies.
In semiconductor industry not salaried manager but owner manager or entrepreneur seem to be required because top management should make a risky decision with strong leadership. Yukio Sakamoto is the typical entrepreneur in world semiconductor industry.
Research on Sustainble Growth Strategy of Hallyu Culture in China
Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Yoon Sang-Il , Kang Jae-Shik , Kim Hyung-Jae
Published: June 2018

Having started in mainland China from the late 1990’s, Hallyu or the Hallyu not only disseminates Korean pop culture, but generates economic and cultural profits in many different aspects. At the same time, however, signs of objection to Hallyu are surfacing with the Hallyu spreading across the East Asian region.
In this context, this research aims to discuss ways to firmly establish Hallyu by making it more sustainable, as Hallyu has shifted the Korean culture from the periphery to the center of the world culture, and to talk about measures to spur the establishment of a sustainable Hallyu on to advance the cultural industry of Korea.
At present, Hallyu in China has factors of strength and opportunity, weakness and threat-strength in that Hallyu’s success has boosted favorability of Korean cultural goods in China and that Korean goods are a harmonious combination of Western and Eastern style, opportunity in that Hallyu has cultural similarities and a solid base of followers, weakness in that prices of Hallyu-related goods are on the rise, ‘killer-content’ is non-existent yet, information about how to spread Hallyu further on the ground is insufficient, threat in that China’s import of Korean cultural goods is falling due to increasingly disapproving attitude of the Chinese people towards Korean cultural goods and widespread counterfeit goods within China.
Under these circumstances, making Hallyu more sustainable requires us to build on establishing a governance system, to put more priority on industrial value in our policies for the cultural industry, and to devise strategies to make inroads into the global market by developing novel cultural products of diverse kinds and by nurturing a global media group. Coupled with these efforts, better quality goods by Korean companies and stronger national competitiveness are necessary to properly respond to the Chinese government’s restrictive policies against Hallyu and to maximize the spin-off effect of Hallyu, through various levels of cultural exchange with China.
