올 가을 안에 미 뉴욕에 있는 미국 연방파산법원의 판사 한 명은 연초에 재무상의 위기를 벗어나는 데 실패한 유수한 역사의 원전기업 웨스팅하우스의 운명을 결정짓게 될 것이다. 그 결정은 한 기업의 파산 이상으로 매우 중요한 의미를 가지는데, 그것은 서방 세계가 우리에게 위협이 되는 핵의 확산과 기후 변화라는 두 가지 문제를 해결하는데 주도적인 역할을 할 것인지, 아니면 세계 원전시장의 주도권을 러시아에 넘겨줄 것인지를 의미하는 것이다. 한국의 KEPCO는 UAE 등 해외의 공사를 포함, 원전을 예산과 공기에 맞춰 건설하는 것으로 명성을 얻었다. 그러나 최근에 새로 선출된 한국의 대통령은 지난 2011년 발생한 후쿠시마 원전 사고로 생긴 국민들의 두려움에 대한 대응책으로 탈원전 정책을 추구하고 있다. 만약 이 정책이 성공하게 된다면 자국 내의 원전 건설 기자재 공급 체제가 없어지게 되고, 그에 못지않게 중요한 외국의 신뢰마저 잃게 됨으로써 한국은 세계 원전시장의 경쟁 구도에서 퇴출될 것이다.

남북 쌍방의 정치 협상이나 현황에 의미를 두지 말고 제 3 세계 주관사를 초청하여 서울 신의주 간 고속도로 민자 사업을 계획, 시공 및 관리하자는 주장은 이상에 불과할 수 있다. 남북 간 정경 분리 원칙을 내세우지만 간단한 미풍에도 흔들리고 있는 것이 개성공단의 현실이다. 필자는 거창한 통일 관련 학자는 아니지만 도로를 사랑하는 사람으로 도로인에 남북 화합의 지휘자가 되라고 권한다. 통상 사업 초기, 기획의 미비로 드는 추가 비용을 예방비용, 평가비용, 실패비용으로 구성할 수 있는데 대기업들은 예방비용에 미리 투자함으로써 품질은 높이고 비용은 줄이는 전략을 구사하고 있다. 대북 인프라 사업은 예방비용에 투자하는 것과 같다. 북한에 투자하는 SOC 사업은 비용은 파악하기 쉬운 반면, 그것이 가지고 올 이익은 장기적이고, 위험도가 크며, 또한 편익을 정량화하는 것이 어려운 특성이 있어 반대 여론이 높은 것이 사실이다. 그러나 조건 없는 남북 경협을 주장하는 것이 아닌 이상 남북 양 정부 이익을 창출할 수 있는 제 3자 방식의 민자를 통한 도로 사업은 현재 논의되고 있는 어떠한 SOC 사업보다 타당성이 있다. 도로 건설 불가론이란 거대 여론앞에 풍전등화의 두려움에 떨고 있는 건설인들에게 북한 도로 시장이라는 커다란 선물 보따리를 정부가 앞장 서 풀어주길 기대한다.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of mother's perfectionism and parenting beliefs on her preschooler's social competence. The participants were 277 mothers residing in Daejeon, Korea. Basic descriptive statistics, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression were used for statistical treatment. The results were as follows: First, a mother's perfectionism and parenting beliefs did not differ according to her educational level. One factor of perfectionism, 'holding high standards', alone showed significant difference between highschool graduates and graduate school graduates, the latter's scores being higher than the former's. There were no significant differences in preschooler's social competence by sex or age. However, a few sex and age differences were found in sub-factors of social competence. Girls scored higher than boys on 'showing affection', and 5 year olds scored lower on 'showing affection' and higher on 'leadership' than 3 years olds. Second, a mother's perfectionism and parenting beliefs were able to explain 22.8% of variance in preschooler's social competence, the former showing more predictive power than the latter. Each of the two factors of maternal perfectionism affected five factors of preschooler's social competence in a different manner. 'Holding high standards' of perfectionism positively influenced preschooler's social competence factors such as 'social capability', 'leadership', and 'showing affection', whereas maternal 'fear of failure' had a negative impact on 'showing affection', 'disturbing'(reversed), and 'instability'(reversed). These results were discussed in relation with changes in social atmosphere and value systems, changes in child-rearing behaviors, or the construct and concept of perfectionism itself, It was suggested that these results be utilized in developing parent education programs for preschoolers lacking social competence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine how many of our patients who had had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction returned to their previous levels of sports and to identify why not doing so. Material and Methods: We evaluated 43 knees with a minimum of two years follow-up among whom undergoing 109 ACL reconstruction from September 2003. The mean age of patients was 26 years (17 to 45 years) Clinical results was evaluated according to the Lysholm Knee scores, Tegner activity score, subjective IKDC questionnaires, objective IKDC evaluation form and KT-1000 arthrometer. Results: The overall clinical results demonstrated significant improvement at the final follow-up comparing to preoperative data (P<0.05). Among 43 patients, 25 patients (58%) returned to their previous level of sports and 18 patients (42%) did not. Of whom, 11 patients (61%) were not able to return to sports due to fear to re-injury and 7 patients (39%) suffered from instability and pain. The differences in the Lysholm Scores, KT-1000 arthrometer and subjective IKDC in the 3 groups of patients by ANOVA test were found to be statistically significant (P<0.001). Although there is no difference in objective IKDC and KT-1000 arthrometer, the difference was observed in Tegner activities, subjective IKDC obtained by those who returned to sport and those who had fear to reinjury (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that a quater of patients could not return to their previous level of sport after ACL reconstruction because of fear to reinjury. We thought that not only improving the technique of ACL reconstruction and systemic rehabilitation but also considering psychological factor of patients could allow more patients to return to the previous level of sports.

Careful preparation for a start-up can lower the risk of failure and create a successful business model. However, there are still challenges for middle-aged entrepreneurs, as start-up services and policies are often not readily accessible or fully utilized. Despite active research on middle-aged start-ups, previous studies have not delved deeply into the demographics of start-up preparation and various preparation behaviors. In response to this, a study was conducted to identify which start-up support services middle-aged entrepreneurs use, and how start-up preparation can be classified based on this. Data from 324 middle-aged tech start-up owners, based in Seoul and who started their businesses within the past 7 years, was collected and analyzed. The results showed that middle-aged entrepreneurs had moderate start-up preparation, with the greatest focus on the preparation period and the least focus on start-up education. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three groups of start-up preparation types among middle-aged entrepreneurs: "Overall Tribal Type," "Lack of Start-up Education Type," and "Comprehensive Preparation Type." BCH was performed on start-up satisfaction, start-up competence, fear of failure, access to start-up services, and support needs for middle-aged entrepreneurs based on the preparation type. The results showed that "Overall Tribal Type" had statistically lower start-up satisfaction, competence, and service accessibility compared to the other groups. Meanwhile, "Comprehensive Preparation Type" had a statistically lower fear of failure than the other types. "Overall Tribal Type" also had lower accessibility to middle-aged start-up services. All types had a high recognition of the need for support for specialized middle-aged start-ups. The findings highlight the need for more comprehensive support for middle-aged entrepreneurs. This could include expanding support projects to enhance their level of preparation, providing customized support based on their level of preparation, and improving the visibility and accessibility of start-up support services for middle-aged individuals. Additionally, specialized education that addresses the characteristics of middle-aged individuals should be provided.

This study verified the effect of learning motivation on immersion by non-face-to-face class method. For this purpose, 101 college students majoring in early childhood education were selected as research subjects. The average age of the study subjects was 22.6 years old, and 51 students took non-real-time non-face-to-face classes, and 50 students took real-time non-face-to-face classes. The study measured the level of immersion and the type of learning motivation after the non-face-to-face class was finished. The measured data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and multiple regression analysis. As a result, in the results for all students, the performance approach goal had the most influence on immersion, and the mastery goal orientation had the next effect. Performance avoidance orientation had no effect. For students in non-face-to-face classes, performance approach goal orientation had an effect on immersion, and for students in real-time non-face-to-face classes, mastery goal orientation had an effect. The implications that can be obtained from the results of this study are as follows. First, non-real-time non-face-to-face classes should cover basic knowledge and skills so that there are no mistakes and failures. Second, non-real-time non-face-to-face classes should allow tasks with appropriate difficulty to be performed with a deadline. Third, real-time non-face-to-face classes should lower the fear of mistakes and failures.

It represents a kind of psychology of self-evasion and retreat in the face of opportunities. It is an emotional state, which leads us not to do what we can do well, or even to avoid exploring our potential. From the perspective of self-actualization, it is a psychological obstacle to self-actualization.
