A survey on consumer's awareness and perception toward genetically-modified(GM) foods was conducted on 2110 random samples of Korean consumers. More than 65% of the respondents were exposed to some information related to GM foods. The respondents answered that the greatest benefit of the development of GM foods is remedy of potential food shortages in the future. More than 90% of Korean consumers wanted GM foods to be labeled as such. More than 50% of the respondents would not buy until they know more about GM foods. Only 35.8% of Korean consumers were found to know that food items originating from plants contained genes. More consumers responded that they would not buy herbicide-resistant GM soybean but buy vitamin-enriched GM soybean. Many Korean consumers' decision of acceptance or rejection of GM foods depend not on the basis of biotechnology, but on the basis of the degree of benefit to the consumers. Only 6.4% of Korean consumers responded that GM foods were the greatest threat to the safety of Korean foods. The perception of Korean consumers on GM foods has not changed significantly during the past 5 years.

Severe congenital heart disease (CHD) is a chronic disease requiring continuous and holistic health management to improve patients' quality of life. This study explored the health management experiences of adolescents with severe CHDs in Korea. On the basis of in-depth interviews with nine youths, four categories and 12 subcategories were identified. The participants lacked a full understanding of their health status and the need for appropriate health management for their health status. Nonetheless, they practiced health management to some extent, in ways that were affected by heart function, self-identity, and social support. Although adolescents with severe CHDs were affected by physical limitations and the discriminatory gaze around them, they tried to achieve normalcy through managing information, seeking homogeneity with peers, and fostering positive acceptance about their disease. Regarding demands for health management programs, disease knowledge and mental health content were preferred, and the preferred delivery methods were self-help group camps and smartphone applications. Based on the results of this study, we suggest a health management intervention to promote a healthy transition to adulthood for adolescents with severe CHDs, and that policy-makers should consider measures that would enable a successful transition to adulthood in the future of youth with severe CHDs.

With transition to Knowledge society and introduction of information industry, there are many companies which have higher stock price than the suggested value from its financial information. To explain similar cases in capital markets, many researchers focus on non-financial information such as Web Traffic data or intangible assets such as intellectual property rights rather than traditional financial analysis. Besides, the relationships between financial and non-financial information with firm value are changed according to industry lifecycle. As Industry grows, financial information of company is more important for firm valuation in Capital market. We'd like to review the changes of relationships between financial information and firm valuation in Capital market especially for "Software", "Digital Contents", and "Internet" companies listed in Kosdaq market during 2000~2011. The result of data analysis shows the financial information gets more important after 2007. Inversely, it provides analytical bases that related industry gets mature. Also we show that intangible properties are more relevant to stock price of those technical based companies than others.

For the education methods, message analysis, media monitor education, media production and media in education were dominantly used. Elementary school students were found to be the main target of media education, while there was no media education for pre-school children. Current media educations in school were being performed using club activity, creative activity, talent-raising education after school and regular class.

In this study, we observed the characteristics of students' small group discussions concerning the four friction problems. Participants in this study were 22 students of upper-level mechanics course and their small group discussions have been transcribed. As a result, we found that the phenomenon in this study is well defined by 'common context.' The process of formation of the common context was explicitly observed when students discussed about the identification of the problem situation (especially the movement of A in the second problem), the nature of friction and various forces, inertial frame, and noninertial reference frame. Meanwhile, the formation of common context was tacit when students thought they already had a common context. For example, students did not discuss about the friction rule itself because they had confidence about the knowledge. We also found that the presence of the questioner, receiver, and the other opinion were important for positive group discussions. The result of this study would be meaningful because it analyzed how the theme affects the group discussion beyond the limit of previous studies of just analyzing the form or pattern of discourse.

The formation of knowledge of the people of Korean society is the social practices of collective subjectivity. Subjectivity is the truth of the self, which is incessantly created, questioned and modified in the milieu of self-reflection. In an attempt to examine the hermeneutics of the subject of Korean society, a conceptual framework is proposed, which, with the notion of life embedded, consists of a historical sequence of the popular, minjung, multitude, people and community. The period of 1960s saw the ambiguous mass of lifes floating, the individual with his/her own interior world of consciousness emerge. The ideological solidarity is formed in the the next two decades, in contestation with immediate and physical threatening such as poverty and dictatorship. The democratization of Korean society and the global expansion of neoliberal regime gave a re-birth of multitude and people which is characterized with their pursuit of the co-existence and co-realization of singularity and universality on the ethical principle of the open and communicative radicality.

The war simulation systems in Republic of Korea Army have been getting more and more important because soldiers can effectively and efficiently learn and share their war-related knowledge based on the interactions through the systems. But, up to now, the access to the war simulation systems has been limited to only soldiers. So, little research on them has been conducted. This study explores the effects of the antecedents to the flow experience and the characteristics of the systems on soldiers' intentions to use them. Based on the 118 samples collected from officers in Republic of Korea Army, this study empirically shows the logical reality of the war simulation systems and the flow experience positively influence soldiers' intentions to use the systems and the clarified goals, feedbacks, and the levels of the missions in the systems are significant antecedents to the flow experience. Useful implications are presented and discussed based on the new findings.

The purpose of this research was to analyze characteristics of verbal interactions of each homogeneous group in the learning of the 6th grade's 'Use of Lenses' Unit. For this research, six learning sessions were conducted in one 6th grade class composed of a high-academic-achievement group, an intermediate-academic-achievement group, and a low-academic-achievement group. All lessons were recorded, to analyze the verbal interactions of each group, and the transcribed data were analyzed using the verbal-interaction analytic framework. Results included: In the upper group, although opinions were presented more frequently, there were many negative verbal interactions in completing the tasks. The middle group was observed more specifically to accept peer opinions critically in their observational activities. The middle group's members were more active in presenting their opinions than listening to others' opinions. The lower group had difficulties in drawing conclusions because of a lack of ability to persuade peers or to respect the opinions of peers, even though the frequency of verbal interactions was higher than in other groups. Therefore, a homogeneous group structure is good for a simple activity involving a simple inquiry or an exchange of opinions, while a heterogeneous group structure is more effective in activities focused on understanding scientific concepts and knowledge.
