Human and animals are born with an intuitive ability to determine approximate numerosity. This ability is termed approximate number sense (hereafter, number sense). Evolutionarily, number sense is thought to be an essential ability for hunting, gathering and survival. According to previous research, children with mathematical learning disability have impaired number sense. On the other hand, individuals with more accurate number sense have higher mathematical achievement. These results support the hypothesis that number sense provides a basis for the development of mathematical cognition. Recently, researchers have been examining whether number sense training can lead to enhancement in mathematical achievement and changes in brain activity in relation to mathematical problem solving. Numerosity which basically represents discontinuous quantity is expected to be closely related to continuous quantity such as representations of space and time. A theory of magnitude (ATOM) states that processing of number, space and time is based on a common magnitude system in the posterior parietal cortex, especially the intraparietal sulcus. The present paper introduces current literature and future directions for the study of the common magnitude system.

Although several industrial revolutions and technological developments have provided time for modern people, more than 75% of modern people are currently suffering from the problem of "lack of time". Therefore, in this paper, it was judged that it was necessary to improve the mobile APP service for efficient time management of modern people, and a study was conducted on the development of usability evaluation tools. First, the current status was analyzed through case studies of six time management apps with different purposes, and then usability studies were conducted to establish a total of five evaluation principles with operability, cognition, user suitability, minimization of work errors, and sharing. Based on this, a draft of the time management mobile app usability evaluation item was prepared, and a total of 44 usability evaluation tool items were derived through three Delphi surveys of design experts over 5 years and less than 10 years. As a result, intuitive screen and menu composition and user's perception of content were evaluated as the most important factors, and conclusions such as the need to improve the structure and function of the main content screen for user error prevention and usability were drawn. This study will not only contribute to improving the usability of existing time management mobile apps, but will also be used as a material for designing an integrated time management platform for efficient time management and purpose promotion in the future, and is expected to be used as an academic reference.

The objective of this study is to investigate the association between MBTI personality types of potential investors and their cognitive behavioral investment disposition. Three questionnaires related with MBTI, cognitive investment disposition, and behavioral one from 400 subjects were collected and analyzed. Based on both cognitive and behavioral investment disposition scores, potential investors having E(Extroversion), S(Sensing), and F(Feeling) types tend to put up with the risk resulting from their investment better than ones who having I(Introversion), N(Intuition), and T(Thinking) types. However, the difference between J(Judging) and P(Perceiving) types was not significant. Also investor group with ENF combination had the most aggressive investment disposition among other groups. On the contrary the group with ISF had an tendency to avoid the investment risk. In addition the correlation between cognitive and behavioral investment dispositions was 0.86. This study is expected to be used as basic data with which investment companies and banks recommend adequate financial instruments to consumers.

This study developed low-cost and high-efficiency pavement condition monitoring technology to produce the key information required for pavement management. A noise and artificial intelligence-based monitoring system was devised to compensate for the shortcomings of existing high-end equipment that relies on visual information and high-end sensors. From idea establishment to system development, functional definition, information flow, architecture design, and finally, on-site field evaluations were carried out. As a result, confidence in the high level of artificial intelligence evaluation was secured. In addition, hardware and software elements and well-organized guidelines on system utilization were developed. The on-site evaluation process confirmed that non-experts could easily and quickly investigate and visualized the data. The evaluation results could support the management works of road managers. Furthermore, it could improve the completeness of the technologies, such as prior discriminating techniques for external conditions that are not considered in AI learning, system simplification, and variable speed response techniques. This paper presents a new paradigm for pavement monitoring technology that has lasted since the 1960s.

Every (semantic) antirealist accepts one or another form of verification principle. The principle has strong and weak forms, the strong form being highly counterintuitive but the weak one being more plausible. Understandably, antirealists have preferred the weak form of verification principle. Unfortunately, the socalled knowability paradox shows that those two forms are indeed equivalent. To solve this problem, Edgington suggests a yet new form of verification principle. Unfortunately, her new principle has its own difficulty. To overcome this difficulty, Edgington provides a new model of knowledge, according to which every true proposition is somehow associated with a known counterfactual conditional. In this paper, I shall argue that even this new model of knowledge confronts with an insurmountable problem. It is a well-known fact that, in the microscopic levels, some facts manage to occur despite very low physical chances. I will argue that the counterfactuals linked with those facts cannot be known due to the existence of epistemic defeaters. Hence, Edgington's knowledge model does not work in all cases.

과학 교과서는 과학 교육에 있어서 아주 중요한 역할을 하여 왔다. 교과서는 학생들이 학문적 경험을 하게끔 주도하며 학교 교육을 대표하는 수단이라고 할 수 있다(Valverde, Bianchi, Wolfe, Schmidt, & Houang, 2002). 그러나 과학 교육에서 교과서의 중요한 역할에도 불구하고, 국내외에서 그 연구가 미비하였다 (Good, 1993). 이 연구의 첫번째 과제로써 과학 교과서 연구 현황을 살펴보기 위해 지난 30여년간 미국에서 이루어진 초등 교과서와 관련된 연구들을 분석 및 정리하였다. 한편 과학의 본성에 대한 이해는 지난 반세기 동안 과학 교육에서 하나의 중요한 목표가 되어 왔으며, 미국의 여러 국가적 차원의 지침서에서는 그 중요성을 강조하였다 (NRC, 1996; AAAS, 1990, 1993). 그럼에도 불구하고 과학 교과서 연구에서 과학의 본성에 관련한 선행 연구가 거의 없다는 것을 알고, 본 연구의 두번째 과제로써 현재 미국 초등 교과서에 나타난 과학의 본성에 대한 연구를 4가지 주제에 근거하여 분석하였다. 과학의 본성에 대한 4가지 주제는 (a)지식 체계로서의 과학, (b) 탐구 방법으로의 과학, (c) 생각의 방법으로의 과학, 그리고 (d) 과학과 기술, 그리고 사회와 연관된 관계 (Chiappetta, Fillman, & Sethna, 2004)로서, 본 연구에서는 미국 초등 과학 교과서에 나타난 이 4가지 주제를 학년별 및 출판사별로 4가지 영역의 포함 정도를 퍼센트로 산출하였다. 또한 도입 단원 전체를 분석하였으므로, 단원 전반적 내용에 내포된 과학의 본성에 대한 측면을 연구자의 직관과 전문성에 근거하여 서술적인 방식으로 토의하였다.

아리스토텔레스 이후부터 프레게와 럿셀의 현대논리학이 등장하기 전까지 가장 중요한 논리학의 저서는 "포트로얄 논리학"이라고 알려진 "논리학 혹은 사유의 기술" 이다. 이 저서는 아리스토텔레스와 중세의 고전논리학적 요소와 프레게의 현대논리학적 요소를 동시에 지니고 있어 고전논리학과 현대논리학의 가교 역할을 하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 포트로얄 논리학에 나타난 서술문의 계사에 대한 설명과 그에 대한 대립되는 해석들을 살펴보고 포토로얄 논리학전체 체계에 비추어 볼 때 어떠한 해석이 보다 설득력있는 해석인가를 검토해 봄으로써 포트로얄 논리학이 지닌 고전적 요소와 현대적 요소를 대비해 보는 것이다. 즉 포트로얄 논리학의 서술문의 계사에 대한 설명을 통해서 그 저서의 한계와 의미를 알아보고, 논리학사에서 그 저서의 정당한 가치를 평가하는 것이 이 논문의 목적이다. 서술문의 계사에 대한 포트로얄 논리학의 설명은 계사는 주어와 술어 사이의 동일성 기호라는 고전적인 해석을 가능하게 하는 여지를 가지고 있는 것은 분명하다. 동시에 서술문의 계사는 술어의 속성들의 집합(comprehension)에 속한 성질들을 주어의 외연(extension)에 적용시키는 역할을 한다고 주장함으로써 프레게의 개념과 대상에 대한 설명과 유사함도 보이고 있다. 필자는 포트로얄 논리학의 계사에 대한 설명을 주어와 술어의 동일성 기호로 해석하는 최근의 빠리앙뜨의 주장(1978)을 비판적으로 살펴보고, 포트로얄 논리학의 계사에 대한 설명을 보다 정확하게 이해하는 것은 술어의 속성과 주어의 외연 사이의 서술적 기능이라고 보는 것이라고 주장한다. 계사를 동일성 기호로 해석하는 것은 첫째 포트로얄 논리학 전체를 살펴볼 때 빈약한 문헌적 증거밖에 갖지 못하고, 둘째 논리학과 의미론에서 포트로얄 논리학의 가장 중요한 기여라고 평가되는 속성집합과 외연의 구별에 대한 오해를 포함하고 있으며, 마지막으로 이러한 해석은 같은 술어도 주어가 달라짐에 따라 다른 의미를 갖는다는 주장을 포함함으로써 반직관적이다. 반면에 계사를 서술적 기능을 하는 것으로 해석하는 것은 포트로얄 논리학의 외연과 내포 사이의 구별에 대한 보다 정확한 이해에 근거한 것이고 종속절을 갖고 있는 명제에 대한 포트로얄 논리학의 분석에 의해서도 뒷받침됨을 보인다. 그러나 포트로얄 논리학은 주어의 외연이 공집합인 명제에 대한 분석에서 여전히 고전논리학적인 설명을 고수한다. 즉 그러한 면제에 대해 주어의 외연이 존재한다고 가정하는 존재적 관점의 해석만 허락함으로써 전칭명제를 조건적으로 해석하고$[({\forall}x)(Sx{\rightarrow}Px)]$, 특칭명제를 연언적으로 해석함으로써$[({\exists}x)(Sx&Px)]$, 그 문제를 해결하는 현대논리학과는 구별된다. 즉 포트로얄 논리학은 서술문의 계사를 동일성 기호가 아니라 주어와 술어의 외연과 내포사이의 서술적 기능으로 설명한다는 점에서 고전적인 견해와 구별되지만, 여전히 존재적 관점에서 모든 명제를 해석한다는 점에서 고전적이다. 이것이 바로 포트로얄 논리학의 평가를 위해서 주목해야 할 그 논리학의 가치이며 한계인 것이다.

A most appropriate model of 3-D conformal radiotherapy has been induced by clinical evaluation and animal study, and therapeutic gains were evaluated by numerical equation of tumor control probability(TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). The radiation dose to the tumor and the adjacent normal organs was accurately evaluated and compared using the dose volume histogram(DVH). The TCP and NTCP was derived from the distribution of given dosage and irradiated volume, and these numbers were used as the biological index for the assessment of the treatment effects. Ten patients with liver disease have been evaluated and 3 dogs were sacrificed for this study. Based on the 3-D images of the tumor and adjacent organs, the optimum radiation dose and the projection direction which could maximize the radiation effect while minimizing the effects to the adjacent organs could be decided. 3). The most effective collimation for the normal adjacent organs was made through the beams eye view with the use of multileaf collimator. When the dose was increased from 50Gy to 70Gy, the TCP for the conventional 2-port radiation and the 5-port multidimensional therapy was 0.982 and 0.995 respectively, while the NTCP was 0.725 and 0.142 respectively, suggesting that the 3-D conformal radiotherapy might be the appropriate therapy to apply sufficient radiation dose to the tumor while minimizing the damages to the normal areas of the liver. Positive correlation was observed between the NTCP and the actual complication of the normal liver in the animal study. The present study suggest that the use of 3-D conformal radiotherapy and the application of the mathematical models of TCP and NTCP may provide the improvements in the treatment of hepatoma with enhanced results.
