This treatise is the result to explain about the history and meaning of Sashimi and Odeng which became brand food of Busan from the Japanese colonial times in 19 century to today. At that time when Korea had been gradually become to colony by Japanese Empire, Japanese fishermen began to catch many and various fishes on the sea of Korea which were abundant of fishes with their advanced motor-ships and nets. From the result, the new species of fishes were caught and sold at Busan fishery market, and simultaneously Japanese's dietary life was introduced to Busan in daily lives, and it became to settle down as the Korean's one day after day. So, Sashimi and Oden have become the representative seafoods of Busan with the great influence by Japanese, and they are acknowledged as the brand food of Busan on nowadays.

This study aimed to examine the results of the experience of studying in Korea by analyzing the factors affecting employment and wages after acquiring a master's degree in China for Chinese students who obtained a master's degree in Korea. Based on the response data of 188 people obtained through an Internet survey, we tried to identify variables reflected in employment and salary after obtaining a master's degree in Korea. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the ranking of the university and school program had an effect on employment status, and only age was a significant variable in relation to individual competency. On the other hand, in the results of the analysis of the average monthly salary, it was found that individual competence or major was more important than external effects such as the level of school. In particular, the salary of science and engineering majors was higher than that of humanities and social sciences majors, and it was found that international students who received practical education received higher wages than graduates of professional graduate schools.

Wellness, which emphasizes an active attitude toward health, has become popular in Western society, and the industry related to wellness is also rapidly expanding. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and wellness is the process and attitude of individuals and society actively striving to reach such an optimal well-being state. In Korea, there is still a lack of understanding of wellness, and it is mainly used for health-related products and services. Recently, the Korean government has introduced maritime healing and implemented promotion policies to improve the quality of people's lives. If maritime healing seeks ways to support public and private insurance through cooperation with related government agencies and focuses on industrializing local resources and maritime healing services, it will develop into a Korean-style maritime healing model that the world pays attention to.

EU has, in spite of formidable difficulties, continued to expand its territory since it was established, and the number of its member countries has increased to 28. Britain first applied for joining the EU in 1961 and finally became a member in 1973. After joining the EU, the UK managed to scrape along without major conflicts with other member countries. As the number of its members increased, however, a great deal of disagreements, and social, economic and cultural disparities among the member countries widened. Furthermore, the Eurozone took a great economic hit amid the financial crisis in 2007, and the anti-EU sentiment has rapidly spread out among the EU countries. With a growing popularity of the anti-EU political parties in England, Prime Minister Cameron promised to hold a referendum in 2013 on whether the UK should stay in the EU, as part of a political strategy of winning the 2015 general election. He expected the national referendum would easily reconfirm Britain's EU membership, which however turned out to be a serious miscalculation on his part. The result was that ‘Leave’ won by 52 percent to 48 percent. Cameron resigned the very next day after the referendum, and the new Prime Minister Theresa May began the process of leaving the EU. Britain's exit from the EU has been a complicated process. After several rounds of negotiations, EU and May finally came up with a withdrawal agreement. But this deal was rejected by the British Parliament three times. To take full responsibility, Mrs. May stepped down, and she was replaced by Boris Johnson. New Prime Minister Johnson had to undergo much difficulty to complete the withdrawal mission and the UK finally left the EU on December 31, 2020. The Brexit is considered as the most important event in the EU history after the unification of Germany. So a relevant in-depth study is required to understand the future development direction of the EU. With this viewpoint, in the present study I address in detail why the British voted to leave the EU, how the Brexit unfolded, and what kind of tasks and problems it has left to the UK itself and its neighboring countries.

The defense industry can also contribute to the development of advanced technologies that could be applied to private sectors for considerable profits. Through the analyses of the global defense industry market, this study shows that the CR5 from the top five countries have a share of 83.29% ～ 90.62%, while the CR3, the big three countries of the defense industry, shows 83.46%, respectively. Also, HHI analysis shows that the concentration rate is as high as 0.233 ～ 0.390. These results indicate that the market concentration by the global defense industry is stronger than other sectors. Although shipbuilding exports accounted for a small portion when the global shipbuilding industry was booming, it is now time for Korea's shipbuilding industry to have a stronger interest in exporting ships.

The meaning of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, or the Whale has long been misunderstood because of its characteristic writing style that repeatedly goes astray from the main ‘plot’ of Ahab pursuing the white whale. While its surface story follows Ahab’s pursuit of Moby-Dick and their ultimate showdown, Moby-Dick can also be read as Ishmael’s psychological voyage or exploration into the meaning of the white whale. Firstly, the article attempts to interpret the white whale as an object of the sublime, which causes the feeling of awe and fear. Then the ambiguity of the whale that defies a simple interpretation is attributed to the whiteness. Moreover, Ishmael, the narrator of the novel enlists all kinds of white things that evoke the feeling of fear and concludes that the while whale is the source of fear because it reminds us of death. Secondly, the whiteness of the whale can be explained by Lacan’s concept of the real. The white whale becomes a signifier whose meaning is not fixed but literally floating on the sea. Moby-dick cannot be defined by words because he does not belong to the symbolic order and instead reveals its lack. When Ahab presupposes Moby-Dick as an evil, he cannot avoid death. However, Ishmael’s exploration allows him to be more open to what Moby-Dick signifies. When the Pequod is sunk, Ishmael alone is saved after floating on Queequeg’s coffin as a life-buoy. Only after “a deep dive” into the water, Ishmael is able to escape the fear of the white whale and admit the connection between life and death.

Since marine ecosystem services are economically located in the field of market failure, it is necessary to discuss more specifically about the supply of appropriate levels of ecosystem services and their compensation and regulation. In particular, there is a problem of abuse and free ride because there is no proper compensation or payment. In this regard, we reviewed economic theories, implementation plans, and similar cases at home and abroad for the characteristics of the ecosystem service payment system as a more efficient way to manage ecosystem services. So far, in Korea, it is the initial research stage for the introduction of the ecosystem service payment system, but it is considered that more active research is needed to manage the ecosystem service more efficiently in the future.

The paper tried to analyze the problems and their solutions of ocean pollution control institutions focused on the oil spill accidents in Korea. The analysis was conducted from the perspective of principal-agent theory. The results of the analysis indicated that there existed agent's problems such as adverse selection, moral hazard, and complexity of external structure in the process of operating the ocean pollution control institutions: selecting private controlling enterprises based on bribery (adverse selection and moral hazard), private controlling enterprises' flattery to polluters (funding for them) and their disobedience to coast guard (complexity of external structure). The paper suggested a few of solutions for the problems: improvement of informational system, enhancement of incentive system, and simplification of principal-agent relationship.

Definition IoT(Internet of Things) is our around object connect to internet throughout sensor or network. Recently, like WiFi and LTE, all the network has been developed and downsizing of communication module installed mobile device is forecasting revolution of future industry. Potential of IoT and fast development of IT technology are facing to new phase and very useful at many different fields.

The consulting service from DHL and Cisco perform an internet revolution project which progress warehousing work decision by realtime data analyzing based WiFi connected device. The purpose of this study is to analyze the “T” company’s RFID warehouse management system and to propose the warehouse management system based on the IoT. When Introduced IoT warehousing management system into “T” company, they could save time and experience improved efficiency with easy tracking. This research also described the required IT technology, related governor’s policies and IoT security policies to establish warehousing system which based IoT at ICT level for “T” company.

For consumers to engage in their daily consumption activities, they must purchase goods and services from businesses. Currently, the dominant transaction methods are mail-order sales and e-commerce. To protect consumers in this non-face-to-face transaction market, the E-Commerce Act was enacted in 2002. However, as the law primarily regulates traditional mail-order sales rather than focusing on e-commerce, it fails to adequately reflect the evolving transaction environment. Therefore, to ensure consumer protection in the non-face-to-face transaction market, the E-Commerce Act must be comprehensively revised. In this regard, the 22nd National Assembly has proposed various amendment bills. These efforts reflect the increasing consumer damages related to e-commerce and highlight the direct and indirect limitations of the current law. Furthermore, e-commerce is not a fully established transaction method but one that continuously evolves. To ensure consumer protection aligns with these changes, the E-Commerce Act must undergo ongoing revisions. However, the amendment bills proposed in the 22nd National Assembly, particularly the comprehensive amendment bills, fail to address the fundamental issues of the E-Commerce Act. Instead, they merely reintroduce previous amendment proposals without fully understanding the functions of online platforms. As such, these proposals do not provide fundamental solutions. Thus, a new amendment bill must be introduced to transform the E-Commerce Act into a law that effectively protects consumers in e-commerce and other non-face-to-face markets. This requires a precise analysis of the current state of the non-face-to-face transaction market. In particular, amendment bills should not focus solely on administrative regulations, as doing so would be insufficient to protect consumer rights and contradict efforts to empower consumers to protect their own interests. Instead, amendments should incorporate both judicial regulations and administrative oversight in a balanced manner. Finally, one of the main reasons why the comprehensive amendment bills proposed in the 20th and 21st National Assemblies, as well as the legislative proposal announced by the Korea Fair Trade Commission, were ultimately discarded is that they did not adequately reflect the opinions of stakeholders and lacked professional expertise. Considering this, the 22nd National Assembly must develop a comprehensive amendment bill through expert consultation and stakeholder participation to ensure a more effective and well-informed legislative revision.
