The amount of exploitable groundwater amount in Korea has been determined by multiplying the 10-year frequency low precipitation by the recharge rate. In practice, however, the interpretation of the frequency analysis of precipitation is omitted, and the value obtained by multiplying the average recharge rate by the minimum precipitation in the recent 10 years is used as the recharge amount. Therefore, the contradiction arises that the amount of precipitation to be applied is determined according to the period selection rather than the actual low precipitation by the 10-year frequency analysis. In this study, we proposed a method for estimating the exploitable groundwater amount using the recharge amount considering the moving averaged 10-year minimum precipitation and the size of precipitation. This method was applied to the Uiwang, Gwacheon and Seongnam areas and the exploitable groundwater amount was calculated and compared with the results obtained by conventional methods. As a result, it has been confirmed that if the 10-year minimum precipitation is selected in the period including the extreme drought, the problem of underestimating the exploitable groundwater amount can be overcome by using the moving average minimum precipitation.

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a commonly used and rapidly evolving non-invasive treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is important that understanding individual anatomical variants and planning for tumor-feeding artery access to acquire adequate treatment effectiveness. In this study, we will report acquired arteriovenous malformation which interferes with TACE for HCC. A 72-year-old man with persistent abdominal pain for 2 days visited our hospital. The patient was chronic hepatitis B carrier and had a history of HCC treated with conventional TACE 10 years ago. Hypervascular nodular HCC in the liver segment 8 and aberrant right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery were detected on computed tomography (CT). When first TACE was performed, the tumor-feeding artery originating from the left hepatic artery was found and embolized. There was no tumor-feeding artery from the right hepatic artery but arteriovenous malformation was found. After a month, follow up CT showed necrotic lesion and residual HCC and we performed secondary TACE. On secondary TACE, we selected the right hepatic artery and passed through arteriovenous malformation. Superselective-angiogram showed remnant tumoral staining and remnant tumor was embolized using drug-eluting bead and Adriamycin. Final angiogram showed no remnant tumoral staining and the patient was discharged without complication. We found the rare case of arteriovenous malformation adjacent to HCC, and we performed superselective TACE beyond arteriovenous malformation to treat HCC.

The purpose of this study was to explore the direction of school system reorganization in order to strengthen the educational competitiveness of Meister high school. Specifically, the first one was to review prior research related to the school system reorganization of vocational education at the secondary level, and to propose school system reorganization plans of Meister high school. And second one was to analyze the perceptions of related parties about this reorganization plans and to derive important implications. The results of this study were as follows. First, based on the results of the analysis of precedent research, school system reorganization plans of Meister high school was composed of (1) introduction of credit system, (2) introduction of 3-semester system, and (3) expansion of school year. Second, as a result of the questionnaire survey conducted by 138 Meister high school teachers and 185 Meister high school graduates, both group seemed to agree on the necessity of school system reorganization of Meister high school. In addition, the necessity of introducing the proposed reorganization plans was more than a certain level, but the applicability was recognized as somewhat lower than the necessity of introduction. Third, the results of the FGI analysis on industrial personnel showed a positive response, especially regarding the operation of advanced course due to the expansion of school year. Based on this results, it was proposed to design a more systematic reorganization model and provide policy support, to examine the whole scale expansion through pilot application, and to collect opinions more systematically from industrial field experts on school system reorganization plans.

The purpose of this study is to research the effect of life satisfaction on young people at an early age and the impact of media on behavioral aggressiveness during this process. To this end, a group of primary schools located in Jiangnan and Jiangbei in the Seoul area and the Nanjing Road in the city were selected and 290 early youths from grades 4-6 of elementary school were chosen as specimens of structural equations. The results indicate that firstly, the personal causes of early youth have a positive (+) effect on the self-esteem life satisfaction and negative (-) impact on liquidity aggressiveness. Secondly, depression has a negative impact on life satisfaction, while action aggressiveness has no effect. Thirdly, the mobility aggression of early youth has a negative impact on life satisfaction (-), and there is a partial media relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction. However, there is no media relationship between depression and life satisfaction. Based on the above research results, the project of improving youth early life satisfaction and reducing mobile aggression was proposed.

In this study, after applying the argument structure class design program for 20 preservice earth science teachers, we conducted individual in-depth interviews, analyzed the data, and derived a scientific argumentation PCK development model. The scientific argumentation PCK development model consists of three dimensions: Scientific argumentation PCK, PCK ecosystem, and reflective practice. Scientific argumentation PCK is demonstrated in the process of designing or executing classes using argumentation structures as an instructional reasoning tool. PCK ecosystem, consisting of the existing conventional PCK components, is a dimension surrounding the scientific argumentation PCK, and these two dimensions develop by interacting with each other. Reflective practice regulates each dimension and develops it in various ways by mediating the two dimensions of the scientific argumentation PCK and the PCK ecosystem. The conclusions drawn based on the results are as follows: First, preservice science teachers can demonstrate scientific argumentation PCK in the process of design and implementation of lessons using argumentation structures as a pedagogical reasoning tool. Second, it is necessary to develop the PCK for pedagogical reasoning tools such as scientific argumentation PCK in advance for the development of science teachers' PCK, since the scientific argumentation PCK can develop various components of the PCK ecosystem. Finally, it is necessary to use scientific argumentation PCK to support the preservice teacher's reflective practice, seeing that the scientific argumentation PCK promotes the development of PCK ecosystem components by inducing reflective practice.
