The open source software is widely used nowadays so that means developing software without using open source software can hardly imagine. However, the developer's recognition about the license statements that defines the requirements in accordance with the use of open source is relatively low and a few study is associated with this topic. Therefore, this study examines the use of open source in software development in the context of EDISON project in the national research and development project. Furthermore, the study attempts to suggest the advanced model from simply avoiding license conflicts to constructing the open source project ecosystem including the choose of representative open source, the development of open source communities and contributor agreements.

Nowadays, as construction projects become bigger, the probability of construction accidents is higher than any other day. When construction accidents break out, we may suffer from the loss of life and property. For preventing these damages, there is lawed that some public constructions have to insure Contractor's all risks insurance policy (CAR), However, CAR is used to preventing the insured from the loss of construction accidents, it is debated that the premium rate of CAR is not fair to the insured (contractors) The objects of this thesis are as follows Firstly, the fairness of the premium rate of CAR is reviewed, and then the amount of risk of the insured evaluates and applies to the premium rate. Secondly, the development direction of components for evaluating the amount of risk of the insured is presented in the research. Lastly, how to use the team which assesses the risk of the insured and construction works is proposed for deciding reasonably the premium rate of CAR

The importance of "decoupling" to maintain economic growth and reduce greenhouse gases is emerging as the world has been mandated to reduce greenhouse gases since the 2015 Paris Agreement. This study covered 63 countries from 1980 to 2014 and analyzed the main characteristics and causes of decoupling phenomenon between economic growth and carbon emissions. In this study, the degree of decoupling was measured every five years. The analysis found that the decoupling rate of OECD countries and countries with large incomes was high, and that the decoupling phenomenon has accelerated worldwide since the 2000s. However, the degree of decoupling was different depending on the national characteristics. According to the results of dynamic panel model, the growth rate of manufacturing and the proportion of exports hampered decoupling, while the proportion of human capital and renewable energy had a positive effect on decoupling. Also income had a inverse U-shape non-linear effect on decoupling.

Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fixed critical pathway with emr (electronic medical record) on the length of hospital stay, the cost and quality of care provided to gastrectomy patients in a university hospital and to develop flexible critical pathway with emr which can be used excluded or drop-out patients. Methods : Thirty-eight patients with gastrectomy were included as case group and Thirty-four patients included as control group. The comparison between control and case with using fixed critical pathway were done. To develop and to evaluate usefulness of flexible critical pathway with flexible data base, simulation was done for flexible critical pathway with drop-out patients. Result : The major results of this study were as follows: There were no significant differences in patient clinical conditions and no sign of deterioration of quality from critical pathway. The length of hospital stay was 11 days in control group, 8 days in path group(P<0.01). The total costs during the hospital stay were reduced in path group. However the cost per day was significantly increased from reduction of hospital stay(554,352 won in control, 645,669 won in path group). One hundred percentage of drop out patients(60) in the simulation of flexible critical pathway was successful. Conclusion : Computerized critical pathway reduced the length of hospital stay, total hospital costs and resource utilization without harming quality of patient care. The flexible critical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process and decreasing the workload of doctors and nurses in Korean hospital settings.

Forests as carbon sinks and sources, play an important role in mitigating global climate change. Nonpermanence problem of forest carbon offset projects should be addressed practically and properly for obtaining credible forest carbon credits. This study aims to analyze major non-permanence approaches and their applicability for Korean forest carbon offset projects. Introduction of the buffer system, one of the most generally used non-permanence approaches, should be considered first for domestic forest carbon offset schemes. From the research survey, experts preferred the buffer system to other approaches such as forest certification, conservation easement, and longer conservation period. Standard development including a buffer system with a risk assessment tool is required to assure project participation and permanence of carbon credits.

The Korean government required the mandatory ratio of public housing including the housing unit for elderly in February 2012 and the number of them is expected to increase accordingly. To prepare for an aged society, these enabling ubiquitous technology will be able to support efficient health care services, which was mentioned in various studies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to draw the design elements for an apartment for providing health care services according to the degree of independence of elderly people and to grasp the current situation and work out tactics by the evaluation of four actual cases. In housing unit in the elderly housing project, design elements supporting amenity improvement was rated to the highest importance, however, in reality, was reflected at lower rate while the risk management plan for public space was applied at the highest rate. Design elements required by new technology such as health monitoring and community management with outside world are still not reflected, however, in order to realize the concept of 'aging in place', health care services in various aspects should be considered in housing planning.

Although the subject of sprinkler installations in Korean regulations is less strict than in other advanced countries, many building owners and managers tend to install sprinklers only in the types of buildings designated by law or create building designs for which sprinkler installation standards are not applied. This is because priority is given to cutting installation expenses rather than providing building fire safety. In this study, the benefit is estimated for various expenses from installation and maintenance of sprinklers as an investment. As a result of comparing sprinkler system installation expense and the financial benefit by efficiency analysis, the payback period is 1/20 of the building life expectancy and its efficiency is twice the expense. Therefore, installation of sprinklers by regulation has financial efficiency and it is desirable to broadly encourage the installation of sprinklers.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for effective management and prevention of chronic diseases and secondary complications as elderly spinal cord injuries(SCI). The subjects were 200 spinal cord injuries admitted to S hospital from April, 2013 to April, 2018. We investigated the occurrence of chronic diseases and secondary complication through medical records. The results showed that SCI were affected chronic diseases and secondary complications over 50years. The prevalence of chronic diseases and secondary complications over 50 years of age had the odds ratio 11.8 times higher in hypertension and 6.7 times diabetes mellitus. Secondary complications had the odds ratio Osteoporosis 7.5 times, Pneumonia 5.2 times, and central pain 0.4 times. We suggest that continuous management and service of chronic diseases and secondary complications of elderly SCI are necessary. It will be necessary to expand the target population and to study various characteristics including.
