This study was conducted to evaluate observed runoff data collected every 10 minutes at stream gauging stations in Jeju Island using a physically-based model, SWAT. The Hancheon watershed was selected as study area, and ephemeral stream algorithm suggested by previous research was incorporated into the model, which is able to simulate ephemeral runoff pattern of Jeju streams. Simulated runoff and runoff rates were compared to observations during 2008-2013, which showed 'very good' performance rating in Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (ME) and determination coefficient ($R^2$). Some observations had problems such that runoff rates were very high for some rainfall events with little amount of antecedent rainfall, and were very low or missing with much rainfall comparing to previous researches. Additionally, regression equation between precipitation and simulated runoff was generated with high degree of correlation. The equation can be utilized to simply predict reasonable runoff, or to investigate and complement the abnormal or missing data of observations on the assumption that modelling results were sufficiently reliable and satisfactory. As results, minimizing the error in calibrating the model by evaluation of observed data would be helpful to accurately model the rainfall-runoff characteristics and analyze the water balance components of watersheds in Jeju Island.

As performance of electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) used for auxiliary personal dosimeter in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been being continuously improved, we investigated application cases in Korea and other countries and also tested it in NPPs to assess the performance of EPD for external radiation dosimetry. Result of performance tests done in domestic NPPs was similar to those obtained by IAEA in cooperation with EURADOS (IAEA-TECDOC-1564). In addition, EPD/TLD dose ratio has shown similar tendency of EPD/Film-badge dose ratio from the research by the Japan Atomic Power Company (JAPC) and EPD provided more conservative value than TLD or Film-badge. Although some EPD's failures have been discussed, EPD has shown continuous improvement according to the report of Institute of Nuclear Power Operation (INPO) and data from domestic NPPs. In conclusion, It is considered that the general performance of EPD is adequate for external radiation dosimetry compared with that of TLD, providing appropriate performance checking procedure and alternative measures for functional failure.

한국전력거래소에서 운영중인 EMS(Energy Management System)와 MOS(Market Operation System) 설비는 각각 Alstom사와 ABB사에 의해 우리나라의 전력계통 특성에 맞게 제작되어 공급된 전력계통과 전력시장의 운영을 자동화한 시스템이다. EMS는 전력계통 감시와 효율적인 운영을 위해 전력계통을 모델링한 데이터를 활용하며, MOS는 실시간 급전계획 수립을 위한 기반자료로 전력계통을 모델링한 데이터를 사용하게 된다. 그러나, 대한민국 전력산업의 핵심인 두 시스템은 시스템 설계 방식 및 DB 구조가 상이하여 전력계통의 신.증설 및 변경 시 동일한 데이터를 양 시스템에 각각 따로 구축, 운영해야하는 실정이다. 이에 따라 DB작업을 위한 자료 준비부터 입력, 수정, 검증 등 모든 과정에 중복된 관리가 이루어지고 있다. 중복 관리는 양 시스템 간 DB의 주요 데이터 특성 및 명칭이 상이하여 일률적인 관리가 어렵고, 시스템별 특성 및 운영노하우가 없이는 인적실수에 의한 입력오류 개연성이 폭넓게 존재하는 등 현 상황에서 피할 수 없는 현실이었다. EMS와 MOS 시스템 중 최소한 개의 시스템을 전면 재구축하지 않으면 해결되지 않을 본 문제를 해소하기 위하여 전력거래소는 특정 시스템에 구축된 데이터를 변환알고리즘을 통해 나머지 하나의 시스템에 자동 구축할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하여 활용하고자 한다. 이것이 바로 EMS에 입력되어 정확성이 검증된 계통데이터를 추출하여 MOS의 데이터 형식으로 변환하고, 변환된 데이터를 MOS시스템에 자동으로 입력할 수 있는 MOS/EMS 데이터 자동변환시스템이다.

Understanding the status of surface cover in riparian zones is essential for river management and flood disaster prevention. Traditional survey methods rely on expert interpretation of vegetation through vegetation mapping or indices. However, these methods are limited by their ability to accurately reflect dynamically changing river environments. Against this backdrop, this study utilized satellite imagery to apply the Random Forest method to assess the distribution of vegetation in rivers over multiple years, focusing on the Naeseong Stream as a case study. Remote sensing data from Sentinel-2 imagery were combined with ground truth data from the Naeseong Stream surface cover in 2016. The Random Forest machine learning algorithm was used to extract and train 1,000 samples per surface cover from ten predetermined sampling areas, followed by validation. A sensitivity analysis, annual surface cover analysis, and accuracy assessment were conducted to evaluate their applicability. The results showed an accuracy of 85.1% based on the validation data. Sensitivity analysis indicated the highest efficiency in 30 trees, 800 samples, and the downstream river section. Surface cover analysis accurately reflects the actual river environment. The accuracy analysis identified 14.9% boundary and internal errors, with high accuracy observed in six categories, excluding scattered and herbaceous vegetation. Although this study focused on a single river, applying the surface cover classification method to multiple rivers is necessary to obtain more accurate and comprehensive data.

Mode choice Analysis is essential analysis stage in transportation demand forecasting process. Therefore, methods for calibration and forecasting of mode choice model in aspect of practical view need to be discussed in depth. Since 1980s, choice models, especially Logit model, are spread widely and rapidly over academic area, research institutes and consulting firms in Korea like other developed countries in the world. However, the process of calibration and parameter estimation for practical application was not clearly explained in previous papers and reports. This study tried to explain clearly the calibration process of mode choice step by step and suggested a forecasting mode choice model that can be applicable in real policy analysis by using household survey data of Pusan metropolitan are. The study also suggested a way of estimating attributes which was not observed during the household survey commonly such as travel time and cost of unchosen alternative modes. The study summarized the statistical results of model specification for four different Logit models as a process to upgrade model capability of explanation for real traveler's choice behaviors. By using the analysis results, it also calculated the value of travel time and compared them with the values of other previous studies to test reliability of the estimated model.

Following the companion paper (I. Comparisons with Well-known Seismic Code and Site Response Characteristics), several acceleration data recorded during recent earthquake events in Korea were analyzed to verify the suitability of the proposed two-parameters site classification system and the corresponding site coefficients. For all of rock-soil site pairs less than 30 km distant, response spectrums and corresponding site coefficients, $F_a$ and $F_v$, were determined. Unfortunately, some of data have an eccentric error, where the spectral acceleration of rock site is more amplified than that of soil site. The $F_a$ and $F_v$ for all of pairs except the pairs of error were compared with those in the current code and the proposed system. The $F_a$ and $F_v$ from the recorded motions show definitely different trend from that of the current code. In addition, the site coefficients from recorded motions at four 765 kV substation sites, which are several hundred meters distant, have a remarkably similar trend and absolute values to those in proposed two-parameters site classification system. Based on earthquake motions recorded in domestic areas including data from the four 765 kV substation sites, the two-parameters site classification and site coefficients are superior to the results obtained from the current Korean seismic code.

우리나라 대부분의 대형 댐은 하천 상류에 위치하고 있어 하류의 유출량에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 하천의 유출특성을 파악하고 하천용수를 효율적으로 이용하기 위해서는 정확한 댐 방류량 자료는 필수라고 할 수 있다. 우리나라 댐의 방류량은 크게 발전방류량, 여수로 방류량으로 구분할 수 있다. 발전방류량은 발전기 제원에 따라 발전량에 의해 산정되며, 여수로 방류량은 여수로 수위를 유량으로 환산하여 산정되고 있다. 이렇게 댐운영에 필요한 발전용댐의 방류량은 대부분 공식으로 산정되며 직접 실측하여 검증이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화천댐과 청평댐을 대상으로 방류량을 실측하였으며 화천댐은 발전방류량, 청평댐은 발전방류량 및 여수로 방류량을 실측하여 비교 검토하였다. 청평댐의 경우 방류량이 클수록 실측유량과 차이를 보였으며, 화천댐의 경우 대부분 정확하게 나타났지만 일부 차이가 확인되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 화천댐의 경우 발전방류량과 실측유량의 결정계수가 0.980으로 나타나고, 청평댐의 경우 발전방류량과 여수로 방류량의 결정계수는 각각 0.987과 0.996으로 나타나 상당히 정확한 것으로 판단된다. 차이를 보이는 것은 실측자료의 오류도 일부 있겠지만 발전 기기의 노후에 따른 성능저하, 여수로 주변의 수리특성변화 등이 주 원인으로 판단되며 이에 대한 추가적인 조사 및 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구 결과 실측자료를 기반으로 보정된 발전용댐 방류량을 사용하게 된다면 향후 발전용댐 특성에 적합한 용수공급능력 평가 체계 및 운영방안 마련에 기여하며 발전용댐 운영 효과를 극대화할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

The aims of this study were 1) to compare irrational gambling beliefs of gamblers and non-gamblers, 2) to investigate the role of cognitive error on winning probability thinking error, and 3) to examine the relationship between attributional bias and gambling behavior. A total of 248 subjects were recruited for this study. All subjects were classified into non-gamblers, social gamblers and pathological gamblers, and administered self-report questionnaires to measure irrational gambling beliefs, the probability inference error, the attriburional style, and the attributional bias. A pathological gambler group scored highest on irrational gambling beliefs, especially the overestimation of self-ability factor, and a social gambler group and a non-gambler group follow. All three groups scored higher on the magnification of gambling skills than the mean (4.0) of the scale. Pathological gamblers and social gamblers scored higher on the probability thinking error than non-gamblers. Pathological gamblers displayed higher external attribution, lower internal attribution in their daily life events and higher internal attribution in failure situation than social gamblers and non-gamblers. The results indicate that cognitive errors would be a factor that differentiates pathological gamblers from social gamblers and non-gamblers. In predicting gambling behaviors, overestimation of self-ability of irrational gambling beliefs, internal attribution in failure situation, external attribution in daily live event, and probability thinking error were identified as significant factors. It is concluded that a public education about common cognitive bias featured in gamblers might be important in prevention of pathological gambling behaviors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between nurse's perception of organizational characteristics including safety climate and work environment and barrier to medication error reporting. Methods: We surveyed 334 nurses from 7 hospitals. An assessment survey was consisted of modified safety climate scale, practice environment scale and barrier to medication error reporting. The data were collected from September 2012. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, canonical correlation were used. Results: Organizational characteristics were related to barrier to medication error reporting with three significant canonical variables. The first canonical correlation coefficient was .50(Wilks' ${\lambda}$=0.61, df=32, p<.001), that of the second was .35(Wilks' ${\lambda}$=0.81, df=21, p<.001) and that of the third was .22(Wilks' ${\lambda}$=0.93, df=12, p=.018). The first variate indicated higher perception of safety climate variables and work environment variables were related lower barrier to medication error reporting variables except fear for error reporting. The second variate showed higher perception of 'safety climate between healthcare provider' and higher 'nurse participation in hospital affairs' and 'staffing and resource adequacy' were related to lower 'fear' and 'administrative response' in barrier to medication error reporting variables. Conclusion: Strategies for barrier to medication error reporting and improvement of organizational characteristics including safety climate and work environment should be implemented.

For Korean learners, writing is a harder part than any other areas in Korean languages. But in the future, the ability to organize and write systematically is essential for future koran languages learners to take classes, do assignments and presentations at school, and then adapt to job situations. Therefore, there is a need to devise a direction for this. In general, writing characteristics are viewed in many ways, including writing productivity, writing complexity, and writing errors. Accordingly, the study provided drawings and A4 paper for Vietnamese Korean learners, Chinese Korean learners, and Korean university students, before writing freely. Based on the their writing results, we looked at syntax factors (total C-units, total number of words), syntax complexity (number of words per C-unit and clause density), and writing errors (postposition, spell errors, and connective suffix, space errors) According to the study, Vietnamese and Chinese Korean language learners showed significantly lower syntax productivity and complexity than Korean university students, and showed more writing errors than Korean students in postposition and clause density. Based on the results of the study, we discussed writing guidelines for Korean languages learners. However, this study did not validate the differences in writing characteristics according to the Korean language level and length of residences for the study subjects. Therefore, it is necessary to consider this in future research.
