참여정부의 출범과 한께 과학기술계에서는 동북아 과학기술 허브 구축방안 논의가 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 현재까지 이러한 논의는 법제도의 정비 및 과학기술특구 건설 등의 이슈에 한정되고 있는 실정이며, 더욱이 이를 뒷받침할 실증적 연구는 미미하다. 허브란 개념이 네트워크에서의 중심성(centrality)을 의미 하며, 현재 및 미래의 과학학기술협력 네트워크 발전에 정보통신기술이 중요한 역할을 수행함을 고려할 때, 우리나라의 초고속통신망 인프라를 십분 활용한 차세대 과학기술 정보인프라의 구축을 통한 동북아 사이버 연구네트워크상의 허브화(궁극적으로는 e-Science의 허브화를 지향)는 지역 클러스터 건설을 통한 물리적 허브화 못지 않게 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구는 먼저 네트워크 분석기법을 동아시아의 과학기술협력 네트워크에 적용하여 주요 네트워크 지수를 실증적으로 진단하고, 특히 이를 유럽연합의 과학기술협력 네트워크의 패턴과 비교 분석하였다. 유럽 연합은 1984년부터 과학기술 협력 프로그램인 Framework Program을 시작하여 일찍부터 역내 과학기술협력 프로그램을 운영해 온 경험을 가지고 있고, 2000년부터는 자발적 협력과 네트워킹을 통해 유럽의 연구 개발 활동을 통합·조정하기 위해 새롭게 제안된 유럽 연구개발권 (European Research Area) 형성이 구체화되고 있어, 동북아 과학기술협력 네트워크를 건설하는데 좋은 벤치마킹 대상이라 할 수 있다. 이 보고서에서는 유럽 연구개발귄이라는 우산 아래서 유럽의 과학기술 활동이 조정 및 통합되는 과정을 살펴보고, 이를 위한 과학기술 정보인프라의 주요 기능을 컨텐트 (연구정보서비스와 메타데이터 표준), 시스템 (슈퍼 컴퓨팅, 광대역 네트워크, GRID), e-Science 응용연구 별로 살펴보았다. 끝으로 유럽의 경험을: 교훈삼아 동북아 e-Science 네트워크의 건설을 위한 정책적 시사점과 동북아 연구개발정보 Portal 및 APEC APGrid 연구망 등의 구체적인 정보인프라 구축방안을 도출하였다.

As the importance of human-computer interaction (Human Computer Interface) technology grows and research on HCI is progressing, it is inferred about the research emotion inference or the computer reaction according to the user's intention, not the computer reaction by the standard input of the user. Stress is an unavoidable result of modern human civilization, and it is a complex phenomenon, and depending on whether or not there is control, human activity ability can be seriously changed. In this paper, we propose an intelligent emotional recommendation system using music as a way to relieve stress after measuring heart rate variability (HRV) and acceleration photoplethymogram (APG) increased through stress as part of human-computer interaction. The differential evolution algorithm was used to extract reliable data by acquiring and recognizing the user's biometric information, that is, the stress index, and emotional inference was made through the semantic web based on the obtained stress index step by step. In addition, by searching and recommending a music list that matches the stress index and changes in emotion, an emotional recommendation system suitable for the user's biometric information was implemented as an application.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI-2) clinical scales and the self-regulation quotient of the brain quotient. The test in this study was performed by 41 adults over 20 years old and was done using the MMPI-2, which is a self-reporting method. EEG was performed using a 2-channel EEG System at Fp1 and Fp2. The analysis showed a negative correlation between scale 2(D), which is the MMPI-2 clinical scale, and the SRQ(Self Regulation Quotient) relaxation status, which is the related alpha rhythm. Scale3(Hy) showed a positive correlation with the SRQ concentration status and low ${\beta}$ rhythm. Scale7 in the MMPI-2 clinical scales showed a negative correlation with the SRQ relaxation status, which is the alpha rhythm. This means that MMPI-2 and SRQ can be used complementarily in the field of counseling. These results could be interpreted in three ways. First, people with depression are sensitive to other people's attention and evaluation. Therefore, they tend to expend a lot of energy when forming interpersonal relationships, and if they do not learn to relax, their fatigue can easily be increased. Second, people who seek other people's interest and have a cheerful spirit are considered to be highly active. Third, highly stressed people with anxiety and tension seem to easily become tired and their irritation and discomfort may be increased in consequence.

The country with a relative abundance of human capital conducts relatively more R&D in the steady state than its partner. This country acquires the know-how to produce a relatively wider range of innovative goods. High technology comprises a large share of the national economy in the human-capital rich country and real output growth is faster. This prediction would seem to accord weakly with empirical observation of Korean economy.

수문순환과정의 시공간적 거동의 해석 및 정량화는 효율적인 수자원 관리 및 계획을 위해서 반드시 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 그러나 현재 국내의 수문순환과정을 분석하는 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이다. 특히 수문기상인자 중 토양수분은 지표와 대기에서 물과 에너지를 연결해주는 중요한 인자중 하나로 그 중요성 대두되고 있지만 관측시설의 제한과 큰 시공간 변동성을 가지고 있을 값을 추정하는데 어려움이 있다. 최근에는 이를 보완하기 위하여 선진국을 중심으로 연구되고 있는 원격탐사 기술을 도입하였다. 특히 원격탐사를 통해 산정된 Normilized Difference vegetation Index (NDVI) 와 토양수분과의 관계를 파악하기 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. NDVI는 토양수분에 직, 간접적인 영향을 주는 식생의 활동을 나타내는 인자이다. 이러한 이유로 많은 연구에서 NDVI와 토양수분과의 관계에 대해 규명해 왔으며, NDVI를 통한 토양수분의 추정 및 검증이 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 에서 산정된 식생지수와 토양수분의 실측데이터를 이용하여 관측지에서의 식생지수와 토양수분의 관계를 규명한 후, 이 관계를 이용하여 관측 지역 이외의 장소의 토양수분 값을 추정 할 것이다.

Air pollutants have a high impact on everyday life as well as on human health; therefore, new technologies such as low-emission vehicles and add-on systems for air pollutant reduction are needed for our society. However, the environmental benefits and costs of those technologies are not taken into account in existing economic feasibility assessments, which is a barrier that needs to be overcome for green technology to achieve wide dissemination and fast penetration in the market. Thus, this study develops a methodology to assess the economic feasibility of an air pollutant reduction technology by taking into account the social costs from air pollutants and carries out a case study to validate the methodology. Because the social unit costs for air pollutants have not been evaluated yet in South Korea, the methodology uses the social unit costs evaluated for the European Union that are then converted to those for South Korea based on the measuring criteria for vehicle emission gases, parity purchasing price, foreign currency exchange rate, and customer price index. The social unit costs for South Korea are used to assess economic feasibility. A case study was performed to assess the economic feasibility of a dual fuel system using diesel and compressed natural gas by taking into account social costs from air pollutants as well as economic costs. This study could contribute to assessing the true economic feasibility of green technology, projects, and policy related with air pollutant reduction.

Application of biomarkers for assessing marine environmental health risk is a relatively new field. According to the National Research Council and the World Health Organization, biomarkers can be divided into three classes: biomarkers of exposure, biomarkers of effect, and biomarkers of susceptibility. In order to assess exposure to or effect of the environmental pollutants on marine ecosystem, the following set of biomarkers can be examined: detoxification, oxidative stress, biotransformation products, stress responses, apoptosis, physiological metabolisms, neuromuscular responses, reproductions, steroid hormones, antioxidants, genetic modifications. Since early 1990s, several biomarker research groups have developed health indices of marine organisms to be used for assessing the state of the marine environment. Biomarker indices can be used to interpret data obtained from monitoring biological effects. In this review, we will summarize Health assessment Index, Biomarker Index, Bioeffect Assessment Index and Generalized Linear Model. Measurements of biomarker responses and development of biomarker index in marine organisms from contaminated sites offer great a lot of information, which can be used in environmental monitoring programs, designed for various aspects of ecosystem risk assessment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the health behavior performance between the young adults and the elderly with hypertension. The research data were analyzed using 2018 Korea Medical Panel data. The subjects of this study were 3,117 persons without disabilities or activity disorders among those diagnosed with hypertension. As a result of the study, first, it was found that the medical utilization rate and drug adherence were high overall. Second, the average body mass index(BMI) and obesity over 25 kg/m2 were found to be higher among the young adults. Third, smoking and drinking were higher in young adults in terms of experience and smoking and alcohol consumption. Fifth, the subjective health status was found to be perceived more positively by the young adults. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to raise awareness of the need for customized health care from a young age and to develop sustainable and effective programs.

To promote the application of reliability-based design within the Korean coastal engineering community, the author conducted reliability analyses and optimized the design of a vertical-type breakwater, considering multiple limit states in the seas off of Pusan and Gunsan - two representative ports in Korea. In this process, rather than relying on design waves of a specific return period, the author intentionally avoided such constraints. Instead, the author characterized the uncertainties associated with wave force, lift force, and overturning moment - key factors significantly influencing the integrity of a vertical-type breakwater. This characterization was achieved by employing a probabilistic model derived from the frequency analysis results of long-term in-situ wave data. The limit state of the vertical-type breakwater encompassed sliding, overturning, and collapse failure, with the close interrelation between wave force, lift force, and moment described using the Nataf joint probability distribution. Simulation results indicate, as expected, that considering only sliding failure underestimates the failure probability. Furthermore, it was shown that the failure probability of vertical-type breakwaters cannot be consistently secured using design waves with a specific return period. In contrast, breakwaters optimally designed to meet the reliability index requirement of 𝛽-3.5 to 4 consistently achieve a consistent failure probability across all sea areas.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the caregiving stress and depression of spouses who support adults with physical disabilities, calculate the activity of daily living (ADL) of the disabled and determine the correlation of each area and the influence of their ADL on the caregiving stress and depression of spouses. This study was performed on 86 spouses of the disabled who were receiving rehabilitation treatment in two hospitals located in S and K cities from July to August 2016. According to the results, the total caregiving stress scores were $71.43{\pm}17.78$ and the economic and psychological stresses among low items were higher than the other items. The total depression score was $50.34{\pm}26.41$, which was slightly higher than the average of normal adults. The caregiving stress and depression were high for aged women, for cases of high caregiving expense and time, for young disabled and for stroke disease. Factors that affected the caregiving stress were the age of the disabled and the duration of their disability; their ADL had no influence on the caregiving stress. The result showed that the depression affected their age, disabled type and grade, and ADL. Actual policy support capable of giving economic, physical, and psychological assistance should be prepared to reduce caregiving stress and depression.
