In this study, cause of longitudinal crack which is found on duct slab of road tunnel is studied. In-depth investigation, such as visual inspection, non-destructive testing and geometrical surveying of duct slab, is carried out. In order to perform cause analysis, the investigated results are compared to the results of numerical analysis. Many factors, which cause longitudinal crack, are classified as constrained condition of the duct slab, location of the rebar, temperature, shrinkage and so on. According to the classified causes of longitudinal crack, numerical analysis is performed considering construction stage of the tunnel lining. Especially, in order to predict shrinkage stain due to discrepancy of curing date, ACI-209 model, KCI structural design code and other researcher's shrinkage test results are compared. The results show that shrinkage strain is one of the main factors causing longitudinal crack. Other investigated tunnels are classified along with the construction method of duct slab and patterns of cracks. As a result, improving ways to construct duct slab are suggested.

Purpose: Floppy infants or congenital hypotonia indicates decreased muscle tone in infants secondary to abnormalities of the central or the peripheral nervous system, or both. Previous literature classified its causes as those attributable to a central vs. peripheral origin; however, recent studies have introduced a newer classification describing a combined origin. We invenstigated floppy infants by applying the new etiological classification and reviewed the most common etiologies based on the age of presentation. We additionally reviewed the clinical characteristics, diagnoses, and the developmental outcomes in these infants. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical charts and recruited 116 infants diagnosed with floppy infant syndrome between January 2005 and December 2016 at Severance Children's Hospital. Among these infants, 66 with a confirmed diagnosis were reviewed for the etiological classification. Information regarding developmental outcomes was obtained via phone interviews with the infants' families. Results: Based on the new etiological classification, among 69 infants with a confirmed diagnosis, in 40 (34.5%) this syndrome was of central origin, in 19 (16.4%) of peripheral origin, and in 10 (8.6%) of combined origin. Prader-Willi syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy were the most common disorders observed and combined hypotonia showed the poorest developmental outcome. Conclusion: The study states the importance of proper evaluation of etiological diagnosis and optimal intervention for developmental prognosis. The introduction of a new etiological group of combined hypotonia especially emphasizes regular monitoring and timely rehabilitative intervention in patients for the better quality of life in them as well as their caregivers.

The aim of this study is to present the importance of Risk Management and Risk Classification System in Supply Chain to cope with the rapidly changing distribution environment flexibly through the cooperation between a shipper and a distribution company. First of all, we considered existing studies related to the risks of Supply Chain Risk and analyzed 47 different risk factors by 18 kinds of risk causing factors. Second, we collected opinions of corporation specialist group based on the analyzed risk factors and then classified the risk factors into three categories and ten sub-categories. Third, we conducted a survey targeting shipping companies and distribution companies about classified risk and then verified the validity of Supply Chain Risk Classification using verification techniques such as Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Concentration Validity and Distinction Validity. Finally, we suggest some implications based on the verification results.

We had proposed the RPA(Recursive Partition Averaging) method in order to improve the storage requirement and classification rate of the Memory Based Reasoning. That algorithm worked not bad in many area, however, the major drawbacks of RPA are it's partitioning condition and the way of extracting major patterns. We propose an adaptive RPA algorithm which uses the FPD(feature-based population densimeter) to stop the ARPA partitioning process and produce, instead of RPA's averaged major pattern, optimizing resulting hyperrectangles. The proposed algorithm required only approximately 40% of memory space that is needed in k-NN classifier, and showed a superior classification performance to the RPA. Also, by reducing the number of stored patterns, it showed an excellent results in terms of classification when we compare it to the k-NN.

The Industrial Classification is a systematic taxonomy of industrial activities and the Standard Industrial Classification is used in all country by their own a consistent classification method. Therefore, it is employed to analyze current status of industry affairs using statistical investigations in terms industrial activities for making industrial policies and to compare industrial activity among countries. Since the Second Industrial Revolution, the need for the homogenous standard of industrial classification among countries emerged as the economic and industrial exchanges between the countries have became more active. In 1940, Colin Clark who british economist divided the industry into the first (primitive), second (processed), and third (service) industries. Based on this, the United Nations Office for Statistics (UNSD) established International Standard Industry Classification (ISIC) in 1948, which most countries invoke it. ISIC(International Standard Industry Classification) and the standard industry classifications of countries have reached the present after several revisions since the enactment of the Act. In the 2000s, the standard industry classification is amended to reflect the emergence of new industries and changes in industrial structure, mainly featuring the creation and segmentation of sections in the tertiary industry domains. It also shows that primary and secondary sectors are shifting to tertiary industry. In this study, the causes of these common phenomena are systematically identified and the problems present classification systems have been analyzed. Also proposed is the direction of formation of the industrial classification system from a service economy point of view and the conceptual model of the new classification system. In the future, it is necessary to validate the proposed model through this study and to carry out various new classification system studies.

Marine accidents have always caused huge economic losses, as well as environmental pollution. Prevention of marine accidents has become a focus of argumentation. The analysis of past accident cases, reviewing the experience and lessons, is important and necessary for preventing marine accidents. With the same subject above, the Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal provides for past marine accidents' written judgments and analysis of judgment and associated retrieval system on its homepage. In these systems, the name of the ship, accident occurrence time, accident pattern or related keywords are used as search conditions. However, most of the marine events' happening were not due to a single reason, but multiple ones. In addition, one marine event could often come under several categories. In this case, now the retrieval systems' DB is used on the Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal homepage was built based on single category and failed to be able to retrieve according to multiple reasons or multiple categories. In order to solve this problem, a more practical retrieval approach might be needed. Therefore, in this paper, a new retrieval system will be proposed, which using the linguistic label to describe the cluster after analyzing the relational properties between marine accidents and clustering by FCM algorithm, and then adding an interface to allow users to get the results they want through choosing multiple reasons or multiple categories.

Research about business failure was focused on finding the reason of bankruptcy. This research tries to analyze reason and pattern of entrepreneurial failure. Based on 20 entrepreneurial failure cases, we figure out the reason of entrepreneurial failure, utilizing liability of newness and ERIS model. We find that start-up firms in Korea have liability of newness, such as lack of managerial capability, failure of R&D/commercialization, and difficulty of securing marketing channel. Also, we typologize 4 kind of entrepreneurial failure - Lack of preparation of business, failure of resource mobilization, absence of strategy, and failure of marketing.

Understanding the genetic background of hearing loss is important since almost 50% of the cases of profound hearing loss are caused by genetic factors. Until now, more than 150 causative genes have been identified. In this review, classification of genetic hearing loss (syndromic versus non-syndromic, recessive versus dominant, X-linked and mitochondrial), pitfalls in elucidating causative genes, anatomy of the inner ear, introduction of the most common syndromic hearing loss, introduction of the most common non-syndromic hearing loss-causing genes, mitochondrial and multifactorial hearing losses were discussed. Moreover, clinical approaches to the patients with hereditary hearing loss and genetic counseling were also explained briefly. Finally, future directions of the hereditary hearing loss research in Korean population were presented.

치경부에 발생된 병소 부위(cervical lesion)는 "우식성 병소(caries lesion)"와 "비우식성 병소(non-caries lesion)"로 분류할 수 있다. 우식성 병소는 구강 내 세균들의 활동에 기인하여 발생된 병소로서 경조직 손상 부위의 수복과 함께 우식이 재발하지 않도록 체계적으로 대응하는 것이 필요하다. 비우식성 병소는 산성 물질, 저작력 및 이물질에 의한 마모 작용과 같은 다양한 원인에 의해 발생될 수 있으며, 수복 치료에 앞서 병소에 발생 원인을 규명하는 것이 중요하다. 먼저 병소 유발 원인에 대한 분석과 이에 대한 적절한 조치를 취한 후에 수복 치료를 시행하는 것이 바람직하다. 심미적인 요구가 높은 치경부 병소의 수복을 위하여 사용될 수 있는 재료는 "불소를 방출하는 재료"와 "불소를 방출하지 않는 재료"로 나뉘어지는데, 세균의 활동에 의해 형성된 우식성 병소의 수복에는 불소를 방출하는 재료를 사용하는 것이 추천된다. 우수한 심미성과 보다 강력한 유지력이 요구되는 경우에는 복합 레진계 수복 재료들을 사용하여 수복하게 되는데, 이 경우에는 "접착 술식(bonding procedure)"이 중요한 역할을 수행하게 된다. "접착 술식"은 수복물의 일차적인 유지 뿐 아니라 지각과민을 해소하고 2차 우식을 방지하며, 궁극적으로 수복물의 수명을 좌우하는 결정적인 역할을 수행한다. 자연 치아를 최대한 보존하고자 하는 "최소침습(minimum intervention)" 개념에 바탕을 두고 세심하게 형성된 와동에 각각의 증례에 최적화된 수복 재료를 선택하여 수복치료를 시행한다면 보다 심미적이고 환자가 편안한 치경부 수복물을 완성할 수 있을 것이다.

소말리아 해적 문제는 전례가 없는 단계에 다다랐다. 2010년 까지만 해도 445대가 넘는 선박이 해적들로부터 피해를 당했으며 1,181여명의 사람들이 몸값을 위해 인질이 되어야 했다. 그러나 소말리아만이 해적문제가 이슈화 되는 곳은 아니다. 지난 20년간 동남아시아의 해적문제도 큰 이슈가 되어 왔다. 본 논문은 해적 행위의 원인, 영향, 그리고 유형의 분류에 대한 분석을 위해 두 가지의 사례 연구를 통해 이를 살피려 한다. 각각의 해적 관련 사례가 서로 다른 특징들을 가지고 있으나현재 신문이나 인터넷 상의 보도뿐만 아니라 학문, 법률상의, 그리고 공식적 문서들에서 얻어지는 정보들을 이용해 분석한 결과 해적 행위의 원인은 대부분 육지에서 발견된다는 것으로 결론을 낼 수 있다. 본 논문을 통해 제 국가들은 경제, 안보, 지리적인 이유의 이해를 달리 하여 해적 행위를 근절하려 한다는 것을 살펴본다. 또한 현재의 해적 행위에 대한 대응적 접근은 전체론적으로 육지에서의 원인에 근거하여 다루어지는 것이 아니라 바다에서의 해양법 시행에 집중되어 있다. 이는 해적의 소탕을 위한 과정이라기보다는 여전히 문제를 내포하고 있을 수밖에 없다는 점을 지적 하고자 한다.
