This study seeks to address concerns, such as measurement and analysis in financial literacy, and also offers comparative evidence of financial literacy among Korean-Japanese, Japanese and Korean high school students. A robust measure of financial literacy amongst young people will provide information that can indicate whether the current approach to financial education is effective. Comparative results could be summarized as follows: First, the mean percentage of correct answers in a Korean school in Tokyo was lower than that in Japan, Korea, and U.S. Second, in income, saving & investing, spending & credit areas, Japanese students were more literate financially than those in the U.S., Korea, and a Korean school in Tokyo. And, in money management area, Korean students had higher score than those in the U.S., lower than those in Japan. Third, while the financial literacy in academic preparation was the highest area, that in household management was the lowest among other areas for all studies in Japan, Korea, U.S., and a Korean school in Tokyo.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the applicability of cement-based materials for green soil which is a soil for promoting plant growth. The results show that the shear strength of the green soil mixed with gypsum cement (No.3) was low, but the hardness (23.6mm) and pH value (7.4) was most suitable for the vegetation environment. In addition, the initial vegetation germination of green soil, which improved performance by adding a moisturizer, was slower than that of general green soil, and the conductivity value tended to be slightly higher. On the other hand, the slope adhesion of advanced green soil was high, and it was found that the plant growth rate and the regeneration capacity were superior after time passed.

수출주도형 산업구조를 가지고 있는 우리 나라의 경제여건은 1960년대 초 경제개발 5개년 계획을 수립한 이래 지속적인 성장을 기록하여 왔다. 그러나 1986년도에 3저라는 국제경제여건을 호기로 삼아 국제무역수지 흑자를 기록한 이후 선진국의 보호장벽 강화, 세계적인 BLOCK 경제화, WTO 출범에 따른 국내시장 개방압력, 국내임금의 급속한 상승 등 수많은 대내외적 여건으로 인하여 우리경제의 성장에 큰 부담으로 작용하고 있다. 1994년의 경우 전체무역적자가 63억 3천만 달 러를 기록함으로써 한국경제의 계속적인 무역역조현상이 큰 문제점으로 대두되고 있고 1994년 기준으로 전체무역적자의 188%이상에 해당하는 118억 7천만 달러가 대일무역에서 발생한 대일 역조라는 사실과 최근 몇년간 대일무역적자는 다소 개선되고 있으나 전체 무역적자에서 차지하는 비중이 더욱더 높아가고 있는 것에 대한 대책이 시급한 실정이다. 이같은 대일무역적자 문제는 1960년대 이후 급속한 경제성장만을 추구하여 노동집약형 사업이 주가된 경제성장의 결과이며, 산업재, 특히 기계분야에 대한 기술축적의 부족으로 대부분의 자본재 및 중간재와 기술력에 대한 대일의존도의 심화 등에 그 원인이 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 수출 주도형의 한국경제 하에서는 대일무역역조 특히 기계공업분야의 역조현상은 반드시 해결해야 할 중요한 정책과제 임을 인식해야 하며, 이 글에서는 이에 대한 다각적인 대책을 검토하여 해결방안을 제시해 보 고자 한다.

This study was executed to decide the physiological characteristics of Ferule mushroom. Four strains of Ferule mushroom were tested to select a superior strain in its mycelial growth. The pertinent substrates, temperature and pH ranges for the growth of selected strain were determined. And then, the wood rotting ability and type of the Ferule mushroom were determined. The superior strain F-2 among four strains was selected, on the basis of its vegetative mycelial growth and density on agar media. Mycelial growth of F-2 was the best on MYPA among other tested synthetic or semi-synthetic media. The temperature range for pertinent mycelial growth was about $25{\sim}34^{\circ}C$ and best at $30^{\circ}C$. The optimum pH range on MYPA was 5.0~6.0. The mycelial growth was mostly stimulated by soluble starch at cont. 1% (w/w) and secondly, maltose among several carabon sources and by mixed solution of YE(0.25%) and ME(0.25%) but not by ME alone. Cell thining and erosion of Pinus rigida wood by the mycelia of Ferule mushroom were found only on a few cell but largely at wood block test, indicating that the softwood rotting ability of Ferule mushroom mycelia was not so good. The result of polarized light microscopy appeared that cellulose of some tracheides showing the S3 layer lost brifringence was degraded by Ferule mushroom. But only part of cellulose of P. rigida wood was degraded by Ferule mushroom, because most of wood cells continued to showing briefingence. A largely degraded ray parenchyma and longitudinal parenchyma cell and partly thinning and erosion of hardwood(Quercus serrata) cell was found and it indicates that the rotting ability of Ferule mushroom mycelia on hardwood was higher than on softwood. It could be concluded that the difference in the wood rot by Ferule mushroom between the hardwood and softwood was made by the difference of chemical constitutions between them, especially in the contents and the types of lignin. Ferule mushroom was considered as white rotter as a result of bavendam test, although more research should be required.

We investigated the mechanical properties of Korean red pine (Geumgangsong, Pinus densiflora forma erecta Uyeki) of Uljin province in Korea as a basic research to investigated the material properties. Compressive strength of Korean red pine was $36.2N/mm^2$, which was slightly lower than the pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) in Korea. The compressive strength of Korean red pine showed the maximum value at a distance of 60 mm from the pith. Bending strength of Korean red pine was $76.5N/mm^2$, which was slightly higher than the pine (Pinus densiflora S. et. Z.) and nut pine (Pinus koraiensis) in Korea. Similar to the compressive strength, bending strength of Korean red pine showed the maximum value at a distance of 60 mm from the pith. On the other hand, the shearing strength showed the maximum value at part of including the pith. This result does not coincide with the results of compressive and bending strength, in consideration of the specific gravity, which is consistent. Surface hardness of Korean red pine was $43.7N/mm^2$ in cross section, $12.0N/mm^2$ in radial section and $13.7N/mm^2$ in tangential section respectively. The mechanical properties of Korean red pine were similar to the pine and nut pine having a similar specific gravity. The mechanical properties were greatly affected on the specific gravity than the annual ring width.

급격한 세계인구의 증가에 의해 물 부족지역이 세계 각지로 확산되고 있다. 이에 따라, 건전한 수자원으로써 하수처리수의 재이용이 주목을 받고 있다. 하수처리수의 재이용시에는 특히, 재이용수의 미생물학적 안전성과 더불어 화학물질 등으로부터 기인할 수 있는 인체 및 생태계에의 리스크를 고려해야 한다. 미국 EPA는 병원성 미생물 뿐만 아니라 화학물질에 대한 안전성을 확보 차원에자외선/과산화수소 등의 고도산화처리법을 검토하였다. 1일 $10m^3$ 처리규모의 연속실험장치를 이용, 검토된 공정별 실제 하수 2차 처리수중에 존재하는 의약품류의 제거효과, 에너지 소비량 및 생태리스크 저감효과 등을 비교, 평가하였다. 에너지 소비량에 있어서는 공정별로 다소 차이가 있었으나, 본 실험동안 검출된 38종의 의약품류 제거에는 각 공정 모두 매우 효과적이었다. 에너지 소비측면에서는 오존 단독공정이 가장 적은 에너지 소비량에서 타 공정과 동일한 수준의 의약품류 서 막처리나 자외선 처리 등의 고도처리시설에 대한 정보를 재이용수 가이드라인에 제시하고 있는 반면, 우리나라에서는 재이용수중에 일정농도 이상의 염소가 잔류하도록 함으로써, 재이용수의 미생물학적 안전성 확보만을 고려하고 있다. 최근, 수환경분야에서는 의약품류라는 화학물질이 유럽, 미국 및 일본 등지를 중심으로 주목을 받아오고 있으며, 이들은 ng/L-${\mu}g$/L 수준으로 수환경중에서 검출되고 있다. 이들의 주요 발생원으로 하수처리시설이 지목되고 있으며, 따라서 하수처리수의 재이용시 잔류 의약품류에 의한 리스크 발생 가능성이 우려되고 있다. 이를 배경으로, 하수처리시설에서 의약품류를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 공정으로 오존 및 오존/자외선, 제거효과가 얻어졌다. 한편, 오존처리시 발암성 물질인 브로메이트($BrO_3^-$) 등과 같은 부생성물 생성 가능성을 고려하면, 오존 단독공정보다 상대적으로 많은 에너지를 소비하는 오존/자외선, 자외선/과산화수소 등의 고도산화처리법이 높은 적용성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 향후, 수자원 부족문제로 재이용수의 용도가 훨씬 다양해 질 것으로 예상된다. 그에 따라, 재이용수의 안전성 확보를 위해 보다 폭넓은 검토가 예상되지만, 현 단계에서는 오존을 포함, 다소 많은 에너지 소비가 예상되는 자외선을 이용한 고도산화처리법이 다양한 미량 화학물질의 제거에 유효한 공정으로 판단된다.

In this study long term rainfall-runoff model, developed based on SSARR, was applied to Geum river basin and its simulation results of major control points were compared with the corresponding observed channel discharges. The validities of the simulation results were examined with re-measured discharges of those control points. From the above procedure the points showing the unreliable results were found out and its principal causes are analyzed through hydrological inspection of runoff characteristics of their circumstances. Finally the simulation results were modified by the consideration of the effects by small-scale hydraulic structures which could directly affect the channel discharges. As a result the annual runoff simulations of two major points in Geum river basin, Yongdam and Daecheong dam sites, work well. However the low flow simulation of the point located between them, Sutong station, showed more or less the unreliable result. Its causes are considered by means of the hydraulic/hydrological inspection of the corresponding point.

The experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of coarse aggregate, admixture, and accelerator on the properties of concrete. As the maximum size of coarse aggregate decreased from 13 mm to 8 mm, fluidity of fresh concrete declined but compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity of hardened concrete increased remarkably. The mechanical properties of concrete substituted silica fume to the plain concrete improved, the compressive strength of that substituted blast furnace slag increased slightly. The hydration reaction and compressive strength of specimen with sodium luminate type accelerator were high at initial, but specimen with alkali free type accelerator improved largely in 28 days.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Sikhe made by medicinal herb on the functional level of liver. Water extract I (12.9% W/W) and II (25.8% W/W) were obtained from medicinal materials: Caragana Sinica, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Atractylodes rhizoma alba, Atractylodes rhizoma alba, Crataegus pinnatifida, Paeonia lactiflora Pasll., Hordeum vulgare Linne, Oryza sativa Linne, ginger, peer and jujube. Experimental groups were divided into the control diet group (C), high fat diet group (HF), high fat diet treated with 5% extract I group (HFE I ) and high fat diet treated with 5% extract II group (HFE II). In sensory evaluation, overall quality scores associated with color, aroma, flavor and taste were significantly higher in water extract II than in water extract 1. After investigating functional and lipid levels of livers in rats, we found that the administration of water extract I or water extract II to the high fat diet group (HF) did not affect the gain of body weight but mildly reduced GOT or GPT activity in the high diet group. Moreover, administration of these medicinal herbal extracts significantly decreased the levels of total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol in the high fat diet group (HF). However, administration of these medicinal herbal extracts did not affect the level of phospholipid. In conclusion, as Sikhe made by medicinal herb slightly decreased the activity of GOT or GPT and amount of lipid in liver, prevention against high fat diet is thought to be important for liver protection.
