In this article, I propose effective strategies for improving the Predictive Health Care. The results of qualitative study on health information show the following order from the highest score: whether health information is scientifically sound ($3.7\pm0.5$), whether people can easily understand health information ($3.6\pm0.5$), and whether health information reflects the public'sconcerns (($3.5\pm0.5$), and whether health information includes enough information to satisfy the public ($2.9\pm0.6$). The most pressing reforms for the effective Predictive Health Care areto provide enough health information and regularly collection of information because the Predictive Health Care has not provided enough information, authoritative information has rarely been offered, and methodological limitations on producing and applying predictive information have not been addressed. Although the Predictive Health Care provides online services like web-based epidemic reporting system, it needs to extend services from the epidemic information to general health information because of lack of promoting the Predictive Health Care and of credibility of information offered so far. Lastly, the Predictive Health Care needs to strengthen efforts to collect information, form common grounds between information and the public's concerns, clarify classification system of information, and offer an easy way for the public to use information.

After the housing shortage problem for the youths has invoked substantial social attention recently, Seoul's 2030 Youth Housing Program has been timely improvised and successfully providing the decent rental housing packages for the deprived youths of the City. Its housing supply rate, nevertheless, did not sufficiently catch up with the actual need of the youth group so that the program goal is seen by many to be difficult to readily achieve. In an effort to counteract such adversities, it is seen, in this study, that the clarification of the criteria that judges adjacency condition for up-zoning when a candidate housing site is adjoining to a denser land-use classes could be one effective method to augment its supply rate. This study, in this context, has performed spatial structure analyses via space syntax method against: 1) the conceptual diagram in the City's official manual that renders the acceptable adjacency conditions, and; 2) numerous real-world 2030 Youth Housing cases enlisted in the City's public notices that permit their construction. The consequences are that the axial map is not applicable whereas the convex map is adequate for the purpose at hand, and, among all the cases, those spaces that are adjacent with its Depth of less than 2 are seen to successfully satisfy the official adjacency condition for the up-zoning.

To identify the gifted, it is essential to perform overall evaluation on cognitive and affective aspects considering all the characteristics of the science gifted. Nowadays, not only cognitive factors but also affective factors are being emphasized. Among the affective factors of the gifted, the task commitment is an important factor to describe the gifted and their outstanding achievements. From this research, by measuring the characteristics of task commitment shown in the science gifted, this can offer good implications regarding the selection of the gifted and the education. We developed the rubric of the gifted students by analyzing the students' experience of showing task commitment. By applying the rubric, we measured the levels by areas of the characteristics of task commitment shown in the experiences which the science gifted had by deeply exploring the cause or the principle. To better understand the characteristics of the science gifted students' task commitment, each and every students' characteristics were specifically described. The students' task commitment can be measured objectively and effectively by using the measuring tool in the form of rubric based on the characteristics of the task commitment. Specifically describing the students' characteristics on the basis of their performance criteria is the grounds for the level judgment and enhances the understanding of the characteristics of students' task commitment.

This research focuses on what factors determine firm's decisions on R&D outsourcing and how R&D outsourcing affect R&D performance. In recent years many firms outsource R&D activities instead of internalizing it. Thus, further investigation is necessary to find out this recent trend. Based on several theoretical background the study developed three determining factors of R&D outsourcing which are transactional level, firm level, and risk level. Transactional level composes of independent variables such as R&D cost saving, asset specificity and uncertainty which mainly comes from Transaction Cost Economics theory. Firm level composes of openness to technology from outer source, R&D capability, and outsourcing experience. Risk level composes of technological risk, cost-related risk and managerial risk. The result shows that R&D outsourcing is significantly related to cost saving aspect, low asset specific firms, firms without solid technological background, firms which are open to external technology, firms with other types of outsourcing experience, and firms which take technological risks. However, proposed relationship between degree of R&D outsourcing and R&D performance found out to be insignificant. This research is contribute to the field of outsourcing study since it will give guidance to managers who need to make strategic decisions on R&D outsourcing activities.

The study aims to evaluate the outcomes of the Centers for Independent Living(CILs) demonstration program and to recommend future directions for CILs in 2006. The framework for the evaluation is a logic model, which facilitates outcome-based performance measurement. The measures associated with the logic model include input, activity, output, and outcomes. The data were collected by interviewing the executive directors of 10 CILs and conducting telephone survey with 231 consumers with disabilities. The study found that 69% consumers acquired new knowledge and skills for independent living. The study also revealed that 87% consumers experienced the positive changes in their lives and 83% consumers were satisfied with the services of the Centers. After using the services, consumers reported significant increases in self-confidence, and in the number and the level of involvement in the activities. In addition, the study found that the employment status of the consumers was improved, and the number of persons who were living in institutions was decreased. The study supports the advancement of policy to institutionalize Centers for Independent Living, and points to the importance of developing the capacity of the Association of Centers for Independent Living to ensure high quality services. In addition, it is suggested that the development of a manual for these services is necessary, and that services should be provided across disabilities and throughout the country, especially in rural areas.

This study investigated two science teachers' practical knowledge shaped during their science classes which intend to realize social construction of scientific models. The teachers' practical knowledge was qualitatively examined in terms of five content categories defined by Elbaz through the reflection-in-action based on video data of their teaching as well as the reflection-on-action based on their narratives and interview data obtained after their classes. The results shows: 1) two science teachers implemented their practical knowledge on appropriate subject matter knowledge when they provided students with scaffoldings to support building scientific models during the classes. 2) The teachers' knowledge about science curriculum played important roles to change the purposes of the classes from the transmission of difficult science concepts to the construction of scientific model appropriate to learning goals. 3) The teachers' implementation of pedagogical knowledge changed toward supporting students' group activities and model generations aligned to the intention of social construction of scientific models. 4) The teachers' practical knowledge about their 'selves' showed that a teacher's perception and implementation of his/her roles of helper, guide, or facilitator are important for students to construct scientific models through group activities. 5) The two teachers' practical knowledge the milieu of schooling is realized by their modes of interactions with student groups during their classes. Two teachers acted like a co-player with his students or like a coach to students near a playground. We discussed domain-specific characteristics about scientific model construction.

The purpose of this study is to analyze what kinds of science education theories are targeted in the "Examination for Appointing Secondary School Science Teachers (EASST)." For the analyses, we extracted the contents related to the science education theories in the question items of the EASST of 2008 through 2012, and categorized those theories into science curriculum, history of science and philosophy of science, scientific inquiry, theory of teaching and learning, model of teaching and learning, and assessment. The results of this study indicated that the theory of teaching and learning appeared most frequently and there were high proportions of question items related to the following topics: contents in science curriculum, scientific method, contemporary philosophy of science, process of inquiry, Ausubel's theory, learning cycle model by Lawson, cooperative learning, criteria of performance assessment, and etc. While we, as science educators, believed that the other categories such as 'history of science' provides important topics for pre-service science teachers, questions items dealing with those were rarely found in the past EASSTs. As EASST has strong influences on the professional developments of pre-service science teachers, more research should be pursued on how much and what domains of science education theories would be appropriate for the test.

The purpose of this study is to rediscover the operation of anti-terrorism system focusing on the system approach and crisis management approach for counter terrorism in Korea. According to the results of this study, it is required to establish a link between open systems and integrative system focusing on functional linkage of counter-terrorism systems, and cooperative measures with private sectors in the dimension of governance activation. Further, it is necessary to prepare legal foundations for the cooperation with private sectors and then promote open consciousness transformation through the partnership with private security for anti-terrorism activities. In addition, in its preventive stage, it is required to prepare legal systems related to biochemical terrorism for stronger regulations through crisis-managerial approach. Next, in its preparatory stage, it is necessary to prepare education and enact named Terror Prevention Day for increasing terror safety consciousness, and then extend citizen reporting reward systems to enable citizens to participate and become interested voluntarily in terror prevention. Also, it is essential to establish the substantial training system for preparing for terror occurrence. Moreover, in its response stage, it is urgent to construct networks between related institutions to manage field and spot responses with integrative management systems through information sharing. Furthermore, in its restoration stage, it is indispensible to prepare long-term management systems for injured persons and families of the deceased from terror incidents.

The OSTG (Observation Scale for Teachers of the Gifted in Korean Traditional and Western Music) is one of the tools for screening of the Gifted in Korean traditional and Western music. So the validity and reliability of the OSTG-2 has an influence on securing validity of the whole identification process. The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the OSTG-2 that input screening processing, and to suggest systematization of identification processing for the Gifted in Korean traditional and Western Music. For the achievement of this purpose, this study administered the OSTG-2 to 195 teachers of gifted students aged between 13 and 16 in the middle or high school for the arts. To validate the OSTG-2, I analyzed items of the OSTG-2, and conducted the exploratory and confirmative factor analysis. I also examined the internal consistency. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, I collected 22 items of the OSTG-2 finally. Furthermore, I could identify psychological construct of the Gifted in Korean traditional and Western Music. The consequence of confirmative factor analysis, the model provided good fit to observed data. As a result of reliability analysis, the internal consistency of musicality verified cronbach' ${\alpha}$=.852, and the creativity verified cronbach' ${\alpha}$=.894, the task commitment verified cronbach' ${\alpha}$=.924. This result of validity study reflects the fact that the OSTG-2 is a valid scale and is able to input to gifted educational field instantly.

There is a wide variety of data quality attributes such as the ones proposed by the ISO/IEC organization and also by many other domestic and international institutions. However, it takes considerable time and costs to apply those criteria and guidelines to real environment. Therefore, it needs to define data quality evaluation attributes which are easily applicable and are not influenced by organizational environment limitations. The purpose of this paper is to derive data quality attributes and order of their priorities based on customer requirements for managing the process systematically and evaluating the data quantitatively. This study identifies the customer cognitive constructs of data quality attributes using the RGT(Repertory Grid Technique) based on a Korean quality standard model (DQC-M). Also the correlation analysis on the identified constructs is conducted, and the evaluation attributes is prioritized and ranked using the AHP. As the results of this paper, the consistent system, the accurate data, the efficient environment, the flexible management, and the continuous improvement are derived at the first level of the data quality evaluation attributes. Also, Control Compliance(13%), Regulatory Compliance(10%), Requirement Completeness(9.6%), Accuracy(8.4%), and Traceability(6.8%) are ranked on the top 5 of the 19 attributes in the second level.
