Purpose: This study intends to provide decision-making information to improve efficiency by analyzing the management efficiency of smart greenhouse business entities and identifying factors that affect the efficiency based on input and output. Methods: The subjects of analysis were business entities for cultivating strawberries in smart greenhouses in Jeolla region (northern and southern Jeolla provinces), and the analysis focused on the management performance of the 2019-2020 crop period (year). Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) was applied as an analysis method for efficiency analysis, Quantile Regression(QR) analysis was applied as a factor affecting the efficiency. Results: The reason for the efficiency gap between business entities was that there were many business entities that did not minimize the input cost at the current level of output, and the area where the variance among business entities was large was the fixed cost per 10a. In the results of the affecting factor analysis, it was found that the seed-seedlings cost, fertilizer cost, other material cost, and employment and labor cost had a negative (-) effect on the efficiency, and that the repair and maintenance cost had a positive (+) effect. Conclusion: Therefore, to achieve the efficiency of scale, it is necessary to reduce the input scale to an appropriate level. In the case of business entities with low efficiency by quartile, the seed-seedlings, fertilizer, and other material costs reduce expenditures, and repair maintenance costs can improve efficiency by increasing expenditures.

일반적으로 가뭄을 해석하기 위하여 가뭄심도, 빈도, 피해면적 및 기간의 영향 등을 고려한 가뭄지수를 이용하며, 이러한 가뭄지수는 주로 지점자료 기반 지상관측자료를 활용하여 산정한다. 하지만 지점자료 특성상 미계측 지역에 대한 정확한 데이터 취득이 어렵기 때문에 미계측 지역에 대한 가뭄 분석의 한계가 발생한다. 다양한 계측기반의 지상센서들이 확충되면서 통계학적 기법기반 공간분포 개선방안을 제시하고 있지만, 정확한 가뭄평가 자료가 추가 및 개선되는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 원격탐사기술을 활용하여 지점자료의 한계를 극복한 격자기반의 공간정보를 표출함으로써 새로운 가뭄모니터링 방안을 제시하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 지상관측자료로 가뭄을 판단하기 어려운 미계측 지역에 대한 가뭄 판단 및 예측 정확도 향상을 위하여 원격탐사기술을 활용한 공간정보 빅데이터를 구축하고자 한다. 미국 국립가뭄경감센터에서 제시한 식생가뭄반응지수 (VegDRI, Vegetation Drought Response Index)는 식생지수, 기상학적 가뭄지수, 지역적 특성을 반영한 생물물리학적 정보를 통합한 하이브리드 가뭄지수로 가뭄과 관련된 공간정보를 활용하여 가뭄을 판단하는 지표이다. VegDRI 산정을 위하여 ERA5의 격자기반 강수자료, MODIS 센서 기반 식생지수 등 격자기반의 공간정보를 수집하였으며, 전처리 모듈을 구축하였다. 또한, 기존 기상학적 가뭄지수인 표준강수지수 (SPI, Standardized Precipitation Index)와 비교를 통해 VegDRI의 국내 적용성을 평가하였으며, 국내 가뭄사례에 적용하여 적절한 가뭄 판단지표로써 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

For the reliable prediction of spatial geotechnical data, a procedure to build the Geotechnical Information System (GTIS) based on geo-knowledge within the frame of GIS technology was developed by introducing a couple of new concepts of the extended area containing the study area and the additional site visit for acquiring surface geological data. To build the GTIS for Gyeongju as the case study of regional model application, intensive site investigations and pre-existing geotechnical data collections were performed and additional site visit was also carried out for acquiring surface geo-layer data in accordance with the developed procedure. Within the GTIS based on geo-knowledge for Gyeongiu area, the spatially distributed geo-layers across the extended area were predicted using the geostatistical kriging method and those for the study area were extracted. Furthermore, the spatial distribution maps for the thickess of geo-layers and the depth to bedrock were constructed for the practical use in geotechnical field. It was evaluated that the GTIS based on geo-knowledge developed in this study is superior to the conventional geotechnical GIS in terms of both the standard deviation and the geological expert judgment.

The impact of technological advancements on employment is a matter of ongoing debate, with discussions on the effects of AI technology development on employment being particularly scarce. This study employs the natural language processing technique (SBERT) and patents to calculate an occupation-based AI exposure score and to analyze employment trends by group. It proposes a method for calculating the AI exposure score based on the similarity between Korean patent information and US job descriptions and linking SOC(U.S.) and KSCO(Korea). The analysis of domestic AI patent applications and regional employment data in the KOSIS Database since 2013 reveals a K-shaped polarization pattern in Korean employment trends among groups with above and below average levels of AI exposure.

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether a group reminiscence program is effective in improving self-esteem and reducing depression in the elderly. The subjects of the study were 20 men and women aged 65 or older who used a senior welfare center located in N City. They were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Self-esteem and Korean Depression Scale (GDS-K) were used as measurement tools to verify the effectiveness of the program. The experimental group conducted a total of 10 sessions, once a week, for 80 minutes each. A group counseling program was implemented for the experimental group, and no measures were taken for the control group during the same period. To verify the effectiveness of this program, the SPSS 21.0 statistical program was used to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the pre- and post-tests for each group and conduct an independent samples t-test. As a result of the study, the experimental group that implemented the program significantly improved self-esteem and significantly decreased depression compared to the control group. Based on these results, the significance and limitations of the study were discussed.

Some statistical characteristics of deepwater waves along the Korean coast have been investigated using various sources of wave measurement and hindcasting data. For very large waves comparable to design waves, it is recommended to use the average value of the empirical formulas proposed by Shore Protection Manual in 1977 and by Goda in 2003 for the relation between significant wave height and period. The standard deviation of significant wave periods non-dimensionalized with respect to the mean value for a certain significant wave height varies between 0.04 and 0.21 with a typical value of 0.1 depending upon different regions and different ranges of significant wave heights. The mean and standard deviation of the principal deepwater wave direction are presented at the 106 coastal grid points along the Korean coast. For relatively large waves, the probability density function of the directional spreading parameter $s_{max}$ is expressed as a lognormal distribution. The most suitable frequency spectrum in the Korean coast is the TMA spectrum. The probability density function of the peak enhancement factor $\gamma$ is also expressed as a lognormal distribution, with its mean value of 2.94, which is close to the value in the North Sea.

In this research, the distribution of Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) at roadside dust in Daejeon, Korea was examined using an ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) technique. For the quality assurance of the determination, method validation based on its accuracy and precision was conducted using SRM (Standard Reference Material). It was found that the relative errors of Pt, Pd, and Rh against each SRM value were -0.7%, -10.0%, and -20.4%, respectively, while relative standard deviations for three elements were less than 10%. The concentrations of Pt, Pd and Rh in roadside dust averaged as $17.4{\pm}9.2{\mu}g/kg$, $283.6{\pm}20.5{\mu}g/kg$, and $7.3{\pm}2.8{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. The concentrations of Pt and Rh have significantly higher distribution patterns in the dust at roadside and underground parking lot than those in soil of the background or other urban area. The correlation analysis between concentrations of PGEs in roadside dust indicates that the distribution of Pt and Rh concentration were strongly affected by automobile sources.
