Emily Dickinson’s Ecovision: the Interrelatedness of Nature and Human Beings

신문주 한국영어영문학회 2009 영어 영문학 Vol.55 No.6

Whereas many Dickinson scholars tend to focus on Emily Dickinson’s anthropocentric dimension, her work also reveals an ecocentric aspect. On the one hand, influenced by New England Puritan typology and its offshoot Emersonian Transcendentalist idealism, Dickinson reveals her indebtedness to these two worldviews by emphasizing the invisible over the visible and the spiritual over the physical. At times, she reflects the common thread of the two outlooks— a hierarchical thinking, in which nature is inferior to human beings and does not have its own identity outside of human use. On the other hand, seeing through the downside of the hierarchical Emersonian idealism, Dickinson sometimes suggests an alternative stance on nature in a nonhierarchical way. She often appreciates nature for its own sake, becoming its neighbor and companion. This aligns Dickinson with modern ecocritics and ecofeminists who criticize a hierarchical anthropocentrism and promote an egalitarian ecocentrism in which natural and human beings are fellow citizens of the earth community. And yet, unlike most ecocritics who advocate a complete shift to an egalitarian paradigm, Dickinson embraces both anthropocentrism and ecocentrism in her poetry of “open portfolio.” This openness stems from her belief in interrelatedness between God, nature, and human beings. Housing the two opposing perspectives in her poetry, she widely opens the possibility to choose the better way to relate to our sister and brother, nature.

In order to provide information for proper management of groundwater resources, it is necessary to estimate the rise time of groundwater level by calculating the delay time between the time series of precipitation and groundwater level and to understand the characteristics of groundwater level variation. In this study, total delay time (TDT) and cross correlation coefficient between the moving averaged precipitation generated by using the moving average method to take into account the preceding precipitation and the groundwater level were calculated and analyzed for the nine groundwater level monitoring wells in the Pyoseon watershed in the southeast of Jeju Island. As a result, when the moving averaged precipitation was used, the correlation with the groundwater level was higher in all monitoring wells than in the case of using the raw precipitation, so that it was possible to more clearly estimate the delay time between precipitation and groundwater level. When using the moving averaged precipitation, it had cross correlation coefficients of up to 0.57 ~ 0.58 with the time series data of the groundwater level, and had a relatively high correlation when considering the preceding precipitation of about 24 days on average. The TDT was about 32 days on average, and it was confirmed that the consideration of preceding precipitation plays an important role in estimating the TDT because the days of moving averaged precipitation greatly influences the calculation of the TDT. In addition, through the use of moving averaged precipitation, we found an error in estimating the TDT due to the use of raw precipitation. Through the method of estimating the TDT used in this study and the use of the R code for estimating the TDT presented in the appendix of this paper, it will be possible to estimate the TDT for other regions in the future relatively easily. 지하수자원의 적절한 관리를 위한 정보제공을 위해서는 강수량과 지하수위 시계열자료 간의 지체시간 계산을 통한 지하수위 상승시기 추정 및 지하수위 변동특성 파악이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 남동쪽 표선유역 중산간지역에 위치한 9개 지하수위 관측정 지점을 대상으로 선행강수를 고려하기 위해 이동평균법을 활용하여 생성한 이동평균 강수량 시계열자료와 지하수위 시계열자료 간의 일단위 총 지체시간 및 교차상관계수를 계산하고 추정결과를 비교분석 하였다. 분석결과 이동평균 강수량 시계열자료를 사용시 원시 강수량 시계열자료를 사용한 경우보다 모든 관측정에서 지하수위 시계열자료와의 상관성이 증가함으로써 보다 명확한 강수량-지하수위 지체시간 추정이 가능하였다. 이동평균 강수량 시계열자료 사용시 지하수위 시계열자료와 최대 0.57~0.58까지의 교차상관계수를 보였으며 평균적으로 약 24일의 선행강수를 고려할 경우 상대적으로 높은 상관성을 보였다. 총 지체시간은 평균적으로 약 32일 이었으며 이동평균 강수일이 총 지체시간 계산에 큰 영향을 미침으로써 선행강수의 고려가 총 지체시간 추정시 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 이동평균 강수량 시계열자료 사용을 통해 원시 강수량 시계열자료 사용에 의한 총 지체시간 추정오류를 발견하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 총 지체시간 추정방법과 본 논문의 부록에 제시된 총 지체시간 추정용 R 코드의 활용을 통해 향후 다른 지역에 대한 총 지체시간을 비교적 쉽게 추정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to provide information for proper management of groundwater resources, an analysis of the effects of precipitation and groundwater withdrawal on groundwater levels is needed. In this study, we analyzed the correlation of precipitation-groundwater level and groundwater withdrawal-groundwater level using time series data converted by normalized standard deviation (Nor.St.Dev) and cross correlation coefficient (CCC) for nine groundwater monitoring wells in the middle mountainous area in the southeastern Jeju Island. First, the CCCs of precipitation-groundwater level were estimated using daily time series data, and the low CCCs of up to 0.3 were obtained. However, the result of using the Nor.St.Dev showed a clearer correlation by obtaining a CCC of up to 0.8. In addition, in most cases, precipitation variability and groundwater level variability had positive CCCs, whereas groundwater withdrawal variability and groundwater level variability had negative CCCs. Therefore, the groundwater level in this study area was largely influenced by precipitation with little effect of groundwater withdrawal. Lastly, as a result of analyzing the relative effects of Seongpanak and Gyorae rainfall station on the groundwater level, the rainfall at the relatively downstream Gyorae rainfall station has more influence. The analysis method used in this study can be easily used for analyzing the effects of precipitation and groundwater withdrawal on groundwater level variability in other regions in the future. 지하수자원의 적절한 관리를 위한 정보제공을 위해서는 강수량과 지하수 취수가 지하수위에 미치는 영향분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 남동쪽 표선유역 중산간지역 9개 지하수위 관측정 지점을 대상으로 정규화된 표준편차에 의해 변환된 시계열자료와 교차상관계수를 이용하여 강수량-지하수위 및 지하수취수량-지하수위 간의 상관성을 비교분석하였다. 먼저 일단위 원시 시계열자료를 이용하여 강수량-지하수위의 교차상관계수를 산정한 결과 최대 0.3의 낮은 교차상관계수를 가졌으나 정규화된 표준편차를 이용한 결과는 최대 0.8의 교차상관계수를 얻음으로써 더욱 명확한 상관성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 강수량의 변동성과 지하수위의 변동성은 대부분 양의 교차상관계수를 가졌으나, 취수량의 변동성과 지하수위의 변동성은 대부분 음의 교차상관계수를 가짐으로써 본 연구 대상지역의 지하수위는 취수량의 영향은 거의 받지 않고 강수량의 영향을 크게 받음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 성판악과 교래 강우관측소가 관측정 지하수위에 미치는 상대적인 영향을 비교분석한 결과 상대적으로 하류쪽에 위치한 교래 강우관측소의 강수량이 더 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 지하수위 변동분석 방법은 향후 다른 지역의 강수량과 지하수 취수량이 지하수위 변동성에 미치는 영향분석에 간편하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Groundwater is an important water resource that can be used along with surface water. In particular, in the case of island regions, research on groundwater level variability is essential for stable groundwater use because the ratio of groundwater use is relatively high. Researches using artificial intelligence models (AIs) for the prediction and analysis of groundwater level variability are continuously increasing. However, there are insufficient studies presenting evaluation criteria to judge the appropriateness of groundwater level prediction. This study comprehensively analyzed the research results that predicted the groundwater level using AIs for various regions around the world over the past 20 years to present the range of allowable groundwater level prediction errors. As a result, the groundwater level prediction error increased as the observed groundwater level variability increased. Therefore, the criteria for evaluating the adequacy of the groundwater level prediction by an AI is presented as follows: less than or equal to the root mean square error or maximum error calculated using the linear regression equations presented in this study, or NSE ≥ 0.849 or R² ≥ 0.880. This allowable prediction error range can be used as a reference for determining the appropriateness of the groundwater level prediction using an AI.

제주도 표선유역 중산간지역의 최적 지하수위 예측을 위한 인공신경망의 활성화함수 비교분석

신문주,김진우,문덕철,이정한,강경구 한국수자원학회 2021 한국수자원학회논문집 Vol.54 No.12S

The selection of activation function has a great influence on the groundwater level prediction performance of artificial neural network (ANN) model. In this study, five activation functions were applied to ANN model for two groundwater level observation wells in the middle mountainous area of the Pyoseon watershed in Jeju Island. The results of the prediction of the groundwater level were compared and analyzed, and the optimal activation function was derived. In addition, the results of LSTM model, which is a widely used recurrent neural network model, were compared and analyzed with the results of the ANN models with each activation function. As a result, ELU and Leaky ReLU functions were derived as the optimal activation functions for the prediction of the groundwater level for observation well with relatively large fluctuations in groundwater level and for observation well with relatively small fluctuations, respectively. On the other hand, sigmoid function had the lowest predictive performance among the five activation functions for training period, and produced inappropriate results in peak and lowest groundwater level prediction. The ANN-ELU and ANN-Leaky ReLU models showed groundwater level prediction performance comparable to that of the LSTM model, and thus had sufficient potential for application. The methods and results of this study can be usefully used in other studies. 활성화함수의 선택은 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network, ANN) 모델의 지하수위 예측성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 특히 제주도의 중산간 지역과 같이 지하수위의 변동폭이 크고 변동양상이 복잡한 경우 적절한 지하수위 예측을 위해서는 다양한 활성화함수의 비교분석을 통한 최적의 활성화함수 선택이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지하수위의 변동폭이 크고 변동양상이 복잡한 제주도 표선유역 중산간지역 2개 지하수위 관측정을 대상으로 5개의 활성화함수(sigmoid, hyperbolic tangent (tanh), Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), Leaky Rectified Linear Unit (Leaky ReLU), Exponential Linear Unit (ELU))를 ANN 모델에 적용하여 지하수위 예측결과를 비교 및 분석하고 최적 활성화함수를 도출하였다. 그리고 최근 널리 사용되고 있는 순환신경망 모델인 Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) 모델의 결과와 비교분석하였다. 분석결과 지하수위 변동폭이 상대적으로 큰 관측정과 상대적으로 작은 관측정에 대한 지하수위 예측에 대해서는 각각 ELU와 Leaky ReLU 함수가 최적의 활성화함수로 도출되었다. 반면 sigmoid 함수는 학습기간에 대해 5개 활성화함수 중 예측성능이 가장 낮았으며 첨두 및 최저 지하수위 예측에서 적절하지 못한 결과를 도출하였다. 따라서 ANN-sigmoid 모델은 가뭄기간의 지하수위 예측을 통한 지하수자원 관리목적으로 사용할 경우 주의가 필요하다. ANN-ELU와 ANN-Leaky ReLU 모델은 LSTM 모델과 대등한 지하수위 예측성능을 보여 활용가능성이 충분히 있으며 LSTM 모델은 ANN 모델들 보다 예측성능이 높아 인공지능 모델의 예측성능 비교분석 시 참고 모델로 활용될 수 있다. 마지막으로 학습기간의 정보량에 따라 학습기간의 지하수위 예측성능이 검증 및 테스트 기간의 예측성능보다 낮을 수 있다는 것을 확인하였으며, 관측지하수위의 변동폭이 크고 변동양상이 복잡할수록 인공지능 모델별 지하수위 예측능력의 차이는 커졌다. 본 연구에서 제시한 5개의 활성화함수를 적용한 연구방법 및 비교분석 결과는 지하수위 예측뿐만 아니라 일단위 하천유출량 및 시간단위 홍수량 등 지표수 예측을 포함한 다양한 연구에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Hawthorne’s Spiritual Quest Beyond the Churches in The Marble Faun

신문주 미국소설학회 2010 미국소설 Vol.17 No.1

This essay explores Nathaniel Hawthorne’s spiritual quest into the mystery of sin by examining his use of the Unpardonable Sin and the Fortunate Fall (felix culpa) in The Scarlet Letter and The Marble Faun. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne foregrounds “the Unpardonable Sin,” which is his version of the unpardonable sin that Jesus speaks of. Revised as it is, “the Unpardonable Sin” shows that the author is under the influence of New England Puritanism’s emphasis on the justice of God. In contrast, The Marble Faun shows a shift in Hawthorne’s attitude toward sin. Employing the early Christian concept of the Fortunate Fall, Hawthorne tests an alternative to the Puritan way of understanding sin. While the unpardonable sin is related to Original Sin and the Puritan notion of the total depravity of humanity, the fortunate fall emphasizes God’s love for humankind. This shift in Hawthorne’s moral awareness does not indicate an artistic decline in the author’s work. Rather, it suggests a spiritual maturity as he breaks free from the limits of his Puritan worldview. By reflecting on the negative views of both Puritanism and Roman Catholicism pervasive in nineteenth century America, Hawthorne draws the reader into the two romances. He then goes on to shed positive light on the two religious traditions in an effort to bring both of them justice. In the process, he seeks an answer to his own lifelong question of the mystery of sin. By innovating such concepts as the unpardonable sin and the fortunate fall and crossing over the boundaries of Puritanism and Roman Catholicism, Hawthorne implies that the established Church is a means to salvation, not the ultimate authority over an individual. This focus on Hawthorne’s quest into the truth of sin reveals the concerns of nineteenth century New Englanders with regard to their spiritual situation.
