In many engineering problems, the dynamic substructuring can be useful to analyze complex structures which made with many substructures, such as aircrafts and automotive vehicles. It was originally intended as a method to simplify the engineering problem. The powerful advantage to this is that computational efficiency dramatically increases with eliminating unnecessary degrees-of-freedom of the system and the system targets are concurrently satisfied. Craig-Bampton method has been widely used for the linear system reduction. Recently, multi-level optimization (such as target cascading), which propagates the system-level targets to the subsystem-level targets, has been widely utilized. To this concept, the genetic algorithm which one of the global optimization technique has been utilized to the substructure optimization. The number of internal modes for each substructure can be obtained by the genetic algorithm. Simultaneously, the reduced system meets the top-level targets. In this paper, various numerical examples are tested to verify this concept.

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the importance of data is intensifying, but there are many cases where it is not easy to use data due to personal information protection. Although criminal justice information is expected to have various useful values such as crime prediction and prevention, scientific investigation of criminal investigations, and rationalization of sentencing, the use of criminal justice information is currently limited as a matter of legal interpretation related to privacy protection and criminal justice information. This study proposed to convert criminal justice information into 'crime data' and use it as big data through the structuralization and categorization of criminal justice information. And when using "crime data," legal issues, value in use, considerations for data generation and use were verified by experts, and future strategic development plans were identified. Finally we found that 'crime data' seems to have solved the privacy problem, but it is necessary to specify in the criminal justice information related law and it is urgent to be organized in a standardized form for analysis to use big data. Future directions are to derive data elements, construct a dictionary thesaurus, define and classify personal sensitive information for data grading, and develop algorithms for shaping unstructured data.

The present study is aimed to find the effect of the activity of writing a structured reflection journal in the learning process of PBL-based programming on the logical thinking of elementary school students. To achieve the objective, this study carried out an experiment with 59 elementary school students in the 5th grade. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was applied with PBL-based programming classes by learning step, including learning of the contents, its procedure, and the activities of writing a critical reflection journal while the control group received learning of PBL-based programming including unstructured reflection journal. And then the difference in their logical thinking was compared and analyzed before and after th experiment. The results demonstrated that the experimental group showed a significant difference in logical thinking before and after writing structured reflection journal (ANCOVA) at the significance level of .05, which evidenced writing a structured reflection journal has learning effect. Intergroup comparison of logical thinking also showed that there was learning effect. Those findings suggest that writing a structured reflection journal in the PBL-based programming learning for 5th grade elementary school students has a positive effect on the learners' logical thinking.

정보교육과정은 정보과학적 사고(Computational Thinking)의 향상을 목표로 하고 있다. 정보과학적 사고는 실생활의 다양한 문제를 컴퓨팅 파워를 이용하여 처리할 수 있는 형태로 추상화(Abstraction)하는 영역과 문제를 해결하기 위한 단계를 정의하는 자동화(Automation)하는 영역으로 구분할 수 있다. 정보 교육에서 추상화는 문제를 해결하기 위해서 데이터의 속성을 정의하고 구조화하거나 데이터들의 추상적인 관계와 의미를 분석하는 것으로 정보탐구 중심의 정보교육이라 할 수 있고, 자동화는 문제를 해결하는 절차 혹은 단계를 정의하고 이를 컴퓨팅 파워를 이용하여 자동적으로 처리할 수 있도록 하는 것으로 정보처리 중심의 정보교육이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 정보교육의 두 가지 핵심영역에 따라 학습자가 인식하는 정보교육이 어떻게 다른지를 분석하고자 하는 목적으로 학습자의 정보교육에 대한 흥미, 가치, 자신감과 더불어 정보탐구와 정보처리 중심의 정보교육에 대한 인식의 차이를 분석하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between alcohol use and drinking problems among college students. Data were collected by structured questionnaires from 400 college students by convenient sampling methods from September 26 to October 14, 2011. Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 15.0 program. The results were as follows: According to the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT), subjects were classified into four groups such as 40.2% of no problem, 36.7% of drinking problem, 6.8% of high risk drinking problem and 16.3% of alcohol dependence. The alcohol use and drinking problems were significant difference for gender, age, type of residence, age of first drinking, cause of drinking, frequency and amount of drinking. The alcohol use was correlated with drinking problems: social function impairment(r=.601, p<.01), behavior problem(r=.579, p<.01), family and interpersonal impairment(r=.637, p<.01). The influencing factors of drinking problems were alcohol use(${\beta}$=.640, p=.000). This study concludes that it is necessary to establish alcohol use policies on campus and develop temperance education program to reduce alcohol consumption and drinking problems.

History and philosophy of science has been consistently emphasized in science education for various purposes. In accordance with the introduction of the 2015 revised curriculum, history of science could be implemented for the curriculum; designing well-organized learning strategies is required. This study examines the case of undergraduate students who solved the convergence problem based on history and philosophy of science in the problem-based learning program. In particular, this study tries to find strategies for integrated education by comparing the problem structuring process and the meaning of problem solving experience of science/engineering and humanities/social sciences students. Participants were three students majoring in science/engineering and humanities/social sciences. Participants constructed and solved their own convergence problems by integrating the domains that were familiar to them into history and philosophy of science. While the process of structuring the problems and the use of history and philosophy of science were similar, there were differences between the science/engineering and humanities/social sciences students' point of view on history and philosophy of science and the other domain which they choose. Moreover, there were differences between the two group's meanings of problem solving experience. Finally, based on the results of this study, history and philosophy in science provided some implications in the context of science education and integrated education.

This study was conducted to identify the level of problem-solving ability, critical thinking and satisfaction level of students majoring in dental hygiene, and to identify the impact of problem-solving ability and critical thinking on major satisfaction levels. The research target collected data through a structured questionnaire for 259 students majoring in dental hygienics located in North and South Gyeongsang Province. The analysis results showed that the problem-solving ability of the study subjects was 2.56, critical accidents were 2.58, and the major satisfaction level was 2.32, and the problem-solving ability, critical thinking and major satisfaction level were positively correlated with each other. Among the lower factors of problem solving ability, solution performance and solution model were significant factors that could improve major satisfaction, and among the lower factors of critical thinking, intellectual fairness, intellectual passion/interest, and systematicness were significant factors that could improve major satisfaction. Critical thinking also significantly mediated problem solving ability and major satisfaction level (β=).2602, BCCI [.0908~.4529]). Based on the results, it is believed that dental hygiene education needs to be developed in addition to the establishment of an educational environment that can enhance the ability to solve problems and critical thinking, and that research should be continued to check its effects.

The replication of data is used to increase its availability and to improve the performance of a system. The distributed database system has to maintain both the database consistency and the replica consistency. This paper proposes an algorithm which resolves the conflict of the operations by using the mechanism based on the structure that the replicas of each data item are hierarchically organized. Each update is propagated along the tree based on the fact that the root of each data item is the primary replica in partially replicated databases. The use of a hierarchy of data may eliminate useless propagation since the propagation can be done only to sites having the replicas. In consequence, the propagation delay of updates may be reduced. By using the timestamp and a compensating transaction, our algorithm resolves the non-serializability problem caused by the conflict of operations that can happen on the way of the update propagation due to the lazy propagation. This resolution also guarantees the data consistency.
