본 논문의 주된 목적은 하이데거 예술작품의 근원(1935)에 나타난 대지의 존재방식에 대해 검토하고 아울러 대지 개념이 갖는 의의를 짚어보려는 것이다. 예술작품의 근원이란 논문은 하이데거의 여러 저술들 중에서 특별한 의미를 갖는다고 생각된다. 초기 저술에서 다루지 않는 대지의 존재방식에 대해 심도 있게 고찰하고 있기 때문이다. 하이데거가 초기 저술에서 주로 문제 삼는 것이 존재의 의미에 대한 물음이고 거기서 존재와 현존재가 주된 논의의 축임을 볼 때, 예술작품의 근원이란 논문에서 하이데거가 행한 대지의 존재방식에 대한 분석은 그만큼 각별해 보인다. 대지에 대한 논의가 각별한 이유는 이후에 진행되는 하이데거의 사상의 일단을 들여다볼 수 있다는 점에서이다. 그런 점에서 대지 개념에 대한 검토는 그의 사유의 도정에서 내딛는 결정적인 일보를 드러내 보이는 작업이 아닐 수 없다. 후기 저술에서 대지는 ‘사방세계’라 일컫는 배열 속에서 드러나며 거기서 한 축을 이루고 있다. 필자는 대지가 세계와 어떻게 대립되고 있는지, 이 양자가 어떻게 해서 예술작품을 총체적으로 구성하는 양극적 원리가 되는지, 그리고 피지스가 어떻게 대지를 밝히고 있는지를 통해 대지개념의 실체적 면모를 들어 내 보이고자 한다. 예술작품의 근원이란 논문에서 대지 개념에 대한 논의를 통해, 적어도 이제까지와는 변화된 자연관을 예비한 어떤 전향을 목격할 수 있고, 나아가 자연이나 생태문제를 놓고 벌어지는 쟁점들에 대한 논의의 가능성을 조심스럽게 존재론적으로 열어 놓고 있다는 점도 확인할 수 있다.

This paper is to examine the existential way of the earth in “The Origin of the Work of Art”(1935) by Martin Heidegger and also to explore the meanings of the earth. “The Origin of the Work of Art” is considered more meaningful than his other works. For the existential way of the earth is even further deeply dealt with in this writing than in his other early writings. It would be more significant to analyze the existential way of the earth in “The Origin of the Work of Art” in that the question mainly discussed in Heidegger's early writings is the meaning of Being and from that Sein and Dasein becomes the pivotal idea for Heidegger. The special reason for the discussion of the earth is that it enables us to look into the fringe of Heidegger's ideas which will be developed hereafter. From this point of view, the examination on the meanings of the earth should be a meaningful step into his thoughts. The earth appears in the arrangement of the fourfold, called das Geviert and become a pivoting point in his later writings. My study will show the real aspects of the earth by explaining how “earth” and “world” are struggling with each other, how both can be the poles for the work of art, and how an ancient Greek word Physis is connected with the earth. In “The Origin of the Work of Art,” we can at least verify the preparatory hints for the changed view on nature and identify the possible widely-opened arguments on nature and ecology on the ontological basis.

This article reads WALL-E (2008) as a post-9/11 American narrative. Focusing on the film’s narrative trajectory from Earth to outer space and back to Earth, it argues that the return to Earth functions not merely as a physical restoration of land but as a symbolic return to home, homeland, and ultimately America. The study begins by addressing a central question: why do the descendants of humanity who have never inhabited Earth and possess no lived memory of it immediately recognize it as ‘home’ and speak of ‘returning’? To answer this question, the study examines how the film constructs Earth as an imagined homeland. Drawing on American cultural history and post-9/11 homeland discourse, it demonstrates how WALL-E transforms a place beyond lived experience into a site of belonging, attachment, and national return. In this respect, the film reproduces a post-9/11 ideological structure in which land, home, and homeland become inextricably intertwined. By interpreting the second half of WALL-E through the lens of homeland discourse, this paper argues that the vision of reclaiming Earth reflects broader American desires for security, belonging, and national renewal in the aftermath of 9/11. Ultimately, WALL-E emerges as a post-9/11 American narrative that reimagines Earth as homeland and projects contemporary national desires onto a futuristic setting.

To learn the Earth’s shape is a very important achievement standard in the earth science education. The purpose of this study is for helping school experiments by investigating effective experiments of the Earth’s shape of each stage of school. Researchers suggest various experiment methods to learn the Earth’s shape and investigated appropriate experiments to stage of elementary school, secondary school, high school and university for 26 pre-service teachers. As a result, there is difference between schools in effective experiments of the Earth’s shape. Pre-service teachers thought that to observe a sail of ship to come back to a harbour is effective for elementary school students. And they responded that to compare the altitude of the polar star by latitudes is good for the secondary and high school students and to compare difference of sight according to height of the ground is effective for university students. They thought that level of the experiment method, abstract thinking and depth of background knowledge should be considered when teachers choose an effective experiment of the Earth’s shape.

1930년대 이후 하이데거의 철학에서 자연 문제는 중심 문제였다. 그러나 1920년대 그의 초기 저술에서 자연 문제에 대해 논급은 그렇게 두드러져 보이지 않는다. 자연 문제에 대한 논급이 상대적으로 미미하게 보인 것은 『존재와 시간』(1927) 전후로 하이데거가 사용하는 자연이란 용어의 모호성과 그 설명의 복잡성에 기인한다. 그러나 1920년대에서 30년대 중반 에 걸친 이 시기 자연 논의가 탐구 관점이 된 것은, 이 시기 하이데거의 사유 여정이 자연 개념의 모호성과 설명의 복잡성에도 불구하고, 1930년대 이후 그 사상의 진화를 이해할 수 있는 단서를 제공하기 때문이다. 이 시기 자연 설명에 나타난 변형들은 하이데거 자신이 부딪 친 문제의식에 대한 반응임을 감안한다면, 기초존재론에서 후기 사상으로의 이행 과정에서 존재를 묻고 표명하는 방식을 특징적으로 보여준다. 초기 저술에서 자연은 눈앞의 것, 손안의 것으로서 ‘세계 내부적인 것’과 연관되어 있다. 『존재와 시간』 이후 자연은 세계 내부적인 자 연 존재와 구별되는 ‘이해할 수 없는 단순한 것’, ‘환원 불가능한 그 무엇’ 또는 ‘무의미성의 심연’, 따라서 세계화의 심연적 근거로서 드러난다. 1928년 변환 존재론(metontologie)에서 자연은 존재자 전체로서 현존재의 현사실적 존재의 전제 조건으로, 또 1929년 ｢형이상학이 란 무엇인가?｣에서 불안이라고 하는 근본 기분 속에서 그 순수한 비세계성에서 존재자는 무 의미성으로 개시된다. ｢진리의 본질에 대하여｣(1930)에서 전체 안에서 존재자의 시원적 탈 은폐와 존재자 그 자체에 관한 물음은 동일한 것으로 전개된다. 1935년의 ｢예술작품의 근원｣ 에서 자연은 피지스(φύσις)로 표현되는 대지(大地)의 존재 방식과 관련하여 드러난다. 이런 대 지는 후기 사상에서 사방세계(Geviert)의 한 방역으로 정착된다. 이렇게 소위 초기 저술에서 의 자연 논의는 후기 사상의 그것과 단절되지 않고 면면히 계승되고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 자연 문제는 하이데거 철학에서 한낱 주변적인 문제가 아니라, 궁극적으로 존재 물음이라는 포괄적인 틀 속에서 논구되는 중심 문제라고 할 수 있다.

In Heidegger's philosophy since the 1930s, the problem of nature has been a central problem. However, in his early writings in the 1920s, the discussion of nature does not seem so prominent. The reason why the discussion o f n ature a ppeared r elatively i nsig nificant i s d ue t o t he ambiguity of the term nature used by Heidegger before and after Being and Time(1927), and the complexity of its explanation. However, the discussion of nature during this period from the 1920s to the mid-1930s became an inquiry point of view because it provides clues to understand the evolution of the idea since the 1930s, despite the ambiguity of the concept of nature and the complexity of explanations during this period. In addition, given that the explanation of nature that appeared during this period was a response to the problematic situation Heidegger himself encountered, it is believed to be characteristic of the way in which Being was a sked and Being was expressed in the transition f rom fundamental ontology to later thought. In early writings, nature is related to the 'intraworldly'. After Being and T ime, nature appears as the abyss of wording , such as ' the s imple thing that cannot be understood', 'something that cannot be reduced', or 'the abyss of meaninglessness'. In metontology(1928) and ｢What is metaphysics?｣(1929), nature is discussed in t erms o f nothing , t hat is, a hidden e xistence, w hich e nables t he emergence of a deworlded 'being itself'. In ｢The Origin of the Work of Art｣(1935), nature is revealed in relation to the way the earth exists, expressed as φύσις. These lands are settled as fourfold in later thoughts. The problems of nature eventually come to be integrated into the comprehensive framework of the question of being.

The Midlands of Ireland, which is the setting in Marina Carr’s Portia Coughlan, has inherited the traditional folklore of Ireland. The unique rural landscape of the play takes on an important role in the life and death of Portia. Carr reflects, modifies, and sometimes contradicts the folklore in the myth of the Belmont River. Specifically, Carr, by connecting the river landscape with the heroine, shows that the source of the heroine’s power and identity is “water.” In the context of grotesque realism, the river simultaneously comforts and haunts Portia, and it is both the reason for Portia's living and the method of her dying. Portia's body returns to the landscape first through her drowning in the river and then in her burial, and we can only assume that her spirit will join Gabriel's in haunting the river, as she vows to do earlier in the play. Carr creates a supernatural and mysterious atmosphere by drawing myth and folklore into her very realistic story. In that atmosphere, Portia’s death in the Belmont River is not tragic. Portia finds comfort in the stories of earth and river and uses the landscape in the folklore to overcome her loneliness. In an ecological analysis, Carr personifies the river, earth, and the ghost as if they have souls and makes the heroine experience a rebirth as part of that landscape.

Though Ernest Hemingway rejects symbolism itself, the basis of his work is symbolic technique. So in order to comprehend his works. it is necessary to analyze his symbolism. This thesis aims to study biblical factors in the works of Hemingway and to show the relations between the biblical factors and subjects of his novels. A biographer noted that Hemingway’s main characters showed his view of life, universe, and christian mind. The continuation of this essay deals with analyzation of the male hero so that all of Hemingway’s works can be seen generalization of their catholicism. Most of the characters who are obsessed with gambling, drinking and sex have lived in Europe. In my opinion, christian symbolism was developed into the sinful human nature of Jake barnes and Santiago. From reflecting on them, we can see a great deal of changes which had occurred from young Hemingway. Strictly speaking, it is possible to destroy humans but humans can’t be defeated. The final end of our physical aspect can only be death. Although the spirit leaves us, the christian legacy of characters remains. Therefore, it leaves an image of sainthood and heroism that remains with us for a long time. In conclusion, this thesis reveals that christian symbolism is soaked into Hemingway’s works.

게임과몰입은 신체활동 감소와 현실도피 위험 증가에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 Hololens 기반 신체활동 프로그램 ‘Earth Man’을 개발하고 적용해 게임과몰입 대학생의 기분상태, 몰입경험, 심박수, 운동자각도의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 연구참여자는 AR 집단 10명, Offline 집단 10명으로 무선배정하였다. 반복측정 분산분석과 독립표본 t-검정을 실시하였다. 두 집단 모두 기분상태가 개선되고 몰입경험이 유의하게 증가하였다. 운동강도는 중강도로 인식하였으며 집단 간 최대심박수의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. Hololens 기반 신체활동 프로그램이 부정적 정서를 개선하고 오프라인 신체활동과 유사한 수준의 운동 효과가 있음을 확인하였으며 AR 기술과 신체활동이 결합한 프로그램의 실제적 활용 가능성을 발견했다는 점에 의의가 있다. 결과의 일반화를 위해서는 다양한 대상과 연령으로 연구를 확대하고 흥미와 체험의 차원을 넘어 교육적 가치를 지닌 AR 기반 신체활동 프로그램의 개발이 요구된다.

It is reported game over-engagement affects the decrease in physical activity and the increase in the risk of escape from reality. Accordingly, This study developed and applied the Hololens-based physical activity program "EarthMan" to observe changes in the mood state, immersion experience, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion of game over-engagement college students. Participants were randomly assigned either to AR group(10) and offline group(10). Analyzed by RM-ANOVA, Independent samples t-test. In both groups, total score of mood disorders decreased and immersion experience increased significantly. The exercise intensity was recognized as medium intensity, There was no difference in the maximum heart rate between groups. It is significant that the Hololens-based physical activity program improves negative emotions, has a similar level of exercise effect to offline physical activity, and has found the practical use of programs that combine augmented reality technology and physical activity. It is necessary to expand research to various objects and ages, and to develop AR-based physical activity programs with educational values beyond interest and experience.

Low earth orbit satellite (LEOS) communication has emerged as a promising technology to achieve global coverage, while further reducing the end-to-end latency by establishing communication link between LEOSs. In this paper, we analyze the performance of multi-hop LEOS network in terms of bit error rate (BER) and outage probability over mixed radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) links where RF link is used for the link between ground terminal and LEOS and FSO link is used for establishing inter-satellite links (ISLs). The derived closed-form results are confirmed via Monte Carlo simulations and we show the effect of the number of satellite hops on outage probability and average BER performance by comparing scenarios both with and without ISLs.

To support the objectives of next-generation networks, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications have attracted significant attention. In large-scale LEO constellations, Inter-Satellite Links (ISLs) are crucial for satisfying a range of network requirements. This work provides a comprehensive overview of ISLs from three perspectives. First, we introduce the ISL communication technologies, with an emphasis on satellite constellations and laser-based ISLs. Next, we explore the role of ISLs in traffic delivery within satellite networks, focusing on topology control, traffic scheduling, and routing strategies. Finally, we highlight key applications of ISL-enabled network systems, including their integration with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

As the number of low Earth orbit satellites is increasing, new algorithms and high-performance computing resources are needed to handle the enormous real-time arrival data generated by satellites. Based on the requirements, this paper proposes a novel real-time adaptive speckle filtering selection algorithm for satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The use of high-performance filters generates high-quality images whereas it introduces delays. Thus, a real-time adaptive algorithm which achieves time-average SAR image quality maximization subject to delays using Lyapunov optimization, where the delay is formulated with a queuing model. Evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees desired performance improvements.

In this paper, the coexistence between fifth generation (5G) network and fixed satellite service (FSS) is investigated. To reduce the interference between 5G base stations (BSs) and FSS earth station (ES), a guard band protection method is proposed. Additionally, the distance and angular protection methods are amalgamated. The performances are evaluated by simulation in realistic 3GPP. Also, the impacts of four antenna types are analysed for a 5G BS. The numerical results show that the guard band protection can solve the interference for the 5G/FSS coexistence, when the distance protection is combined. In addition, when the hybrid protection method is employed, the coexistence between 5G BS and FSS ES is guaranteed.

This study presents new software, named Google Earth-based MIning SIMulation System(GEMISIMS), to simulate a truck/shovel haulage system in open-pit mines. System architecture using Google Earth, Keyhole Markup Language (KML), a modified least-cost path algorithm and the GPSS/H simulation language was suggested and used for the implementation of GEMISIMS. GEMISIMS allows users: (1) to determine optimal haulage routes of trucks between shovels and dumps(or ore stockpiles), (2) to optimize the number of trucks which will be allocated to each route and (3) to animate the movements of trucks using the 3D render window of Google Earth. This paper reports the concept and details of the software development and its application to an open-pit coal mine in Indonesia which revealed that GEMISIMS can support the better understanding of an open-pit truck/shovel haulage system.

The first accurate estimate of the Earth’s circumference was made by the Hellenism scientist Eratosthenes (276- 195 B.C.) in about 240 B.C. The simplicity and elegance of Eratosthenes’ measurement of the circumference of the Earth by mathematics abstraction strategies were an excellent example of ancient Greek ingenuity. Eratosthenes’s success was a triumph of logic and the scientific method, the method required that he assume that Sun was so far away that its light reached Earth along parallel lines. That assumption, however, should be supported by another set of measurements made by the ancient Hellenism, Aristarchus, namely, a rough measurement of the relative diameters and distances of the Sun and Moon. Eratosthenes formulated the simple proportional formula, by mathematic abstraction strategies based on perfect sphere and a simple mathematical rule as well as in the geometry in this world. The Earth must be a sphere by a logical and empirical argument of Aristotle, based on the Greek word symmetry including harmony and beauty of form. We discuss the justification of these three bold assumptions for mathematical abstraction of Eratosthenes’s experiment for calculating the circumference of the Earth, and justifying all three assumptions from historical perspective for mathematics and science education. Also it is important that the simplicity about the measurement of the earth's circumstance at the history of science.

The global ecological crisis, on the one hand, and responses by nation states, on the other, are in complete disconnect. At the heart of this systemic failure is a broken human-nature relationship. This relationship needs to be restored. In taking an ecological perspective, the article shows how the law and institutions of governance can become more effective. We can, for example, advance traditional interpretations of human rights, legal procedures and democratic processes to include ecological relationships. To this end, we need to ask who speaks for the beyondhuman world and indeed for the Earth as a whole. Most legal systems include trusteeship functions of individuals or institutions act on behalf and in the interest of those who cannot speak or act for themselves. They can be advanced for the effective protection of non-human beings and the Earth. Guidance for Earth Trusteeship exist in the form of two agreements created by global civil society, the 2000 Earth Charter and the 2018 Hague Principles. Current opportunities include the draft Global Pact for the Environment, the UN Secretary General’s call for “repurposing the Trusteeship Council” and developments in a number of countries towards implementing ecological integrity and rights of nature into their legal systems.

This study aims at the description of ecological connection between body and earth(nature) through dances, rituals, and body movements. Referring to some dance studies which assume the body-earth connection as a lever for the realization of ecological relationality, this article illuminates some cases of ecologically related dances, rituals and body movements. In the first, this article reviews recent discourses of philosophy, anthropology, and dance studies on ecological consciousness, experience, ontology, and ecosomatic perception. Recent academic discourses emphasize that the connection is realized by the non-hierarchical relation, free from the perspective of dualism, between human being and ‘more-than-human’ world. Secondly, this article describes concrete cases. The cases show participants’ experiences of various ways or modes of connection, respectively; attentive efforts toward subtle energy in connection, immersion into the ecological world, surrender to earth, sensing reciprocity, realization of body as microcosm of earth, becoming other being and ontological transformation. In sum, this study describes people’s experience of the ecological world connected by dances, rituals and body movements.
