The purpose of this study is to analyze whether analogy distance and mathematical knowledge affect on transfer problems solving with different analogy distance. To conduct the study, transfer problems were classified into multiple categories: mathematical word problem based on rates, science word problem based on rates, and real-life problem based on rates with different analogy distance. Then analysed there are differences in participants' transfer ability and which mathematical knowledge contributes to the solution on over the three transfer problem. The study demonstrated a statistical significant difference(.05) in participants' three transfer problem solving and a gradual decrease of the participants' success rates of on transfer problems solving. Moreover, conceptual knowledge influenced transfer problem solving more than factual knowledge about rates. The study has an important implications in that it provided new direction for study about transfer of learning, and also show a good mathematics instruction on where teachers will put the focus in mathematical lesson to foster elementary students' transfer ability.

The concept of robust optimization is based on Taguchi's method. Especially, robustness indices of objective function pursue an insensitive and conservative design when there are variations on design variables and parameters. To accomplish the purpose, various robustness indices on the objective function have been developed. However, it can be caused limitations to develop the robustness index, because there is difference between the Taguchi's method and robust optimization. In this paper, an investigation is performed to identify the characteristics and the drawbacks of the previous studies. To achieve the purpose, evaluations are conducted by using the examples which have both a deterministic optimum and a robust optimum. Moreover, a new viewpoint as well as a robustness index using a supremum value of the objective function is proposed based on the investigation.

South Korea has strengthened the eligibility criteria for childcare teachers while amending the Infant Care Act in January 2005 in order to improve the quality of childcare services. Since then, there was a change in the legal basis related to childcare staff such as introduction of national certification of childcare center directors, name change, strengthened qualification standards for directors and teachers, training system maintenance and repair, strengthened credit standards of teachers' care related qualification courses, and maintenance provisions of continuing education nursery teacher qualifications. And that is because childcare staff are closely related to the quality of childcare, and a very important variable who has direct influence on infants. This study, through literature research and analysis, describes the status and development direction of childcare staff. This study covers three main aspects. First, the relevant historical flow was reviewed and the concepts of the role, expertise, and legal status of childcare staff were investigated. Second, staff training institutions, emissions certification, employment, and the status of treatment were investigated. Third, development direction for the training system, eligibility criteria, continuing education and its training system, and treatment improvement were proposed.

As the quality of life increases and the aesthetic value of the product is emphasized, it tend to consider the sensitivity of consumers in designing goods. The importance of storytelling is becoming more prominent as the purchasing factor of products shifted from the center of the product to emotional of products. In this paper, the purpose of developing emotional marketing craft design using storytelling is to understand the storytelling concept and analyze the case of craft design using storytelling. Craft is an easy-to-value or aesthetic value of the goods in the fields of design, diversity and originality can be pursued and has unlimited potential. Now, in addition to the semantic value of expressive values with a consumer sensibility needs requires the development of this research craft crafts design industry has established itself as a high value-added industry could do more to take advantage of the Foundation.

This study was performed to prevent deforestation and forest degradation and vitalize REDD+ program through suitable site analysis at the 16 districts of South Korea. For this, we worked out profit potential, opportunity cost, carbon credits through making it use of conception of the Forest Carbon Index. As a results, Gyeonggi-do, Incheon Metropolitan City, Seoul Metropolitan Government, Daegu Metropolitan City, Gwangwon-do included in the top 5 among the 16 districts of South Korea. In case of Gyeonggi-do as best suitable site, reduction of carbon emission was best high due to reduction area of deforestation. And profit potential was also high in accordance with practice of REDD+ program. Furthermore, we proposed four plans to activate REDD+ program in South Korea on the basis of the results.

The success of Newton's Gravitational Theory has influenced the theory of capillarity, beginning in the early nineteenth century, by providing a major model of molecular attraction. He used the equation of the attraction of spheroids, which is expressed by second order partial differential equations, to utilize this analogy as the same kind of a particle's force, between gravitational, refractive force of light, and capillarity. The solution of the differential equation corresponds to the geometrical figure of the vessel and the contact angle which is made by the fluid. Unknown abstract functions $\varphi(f)$ represent interaction forces between molecules, giving their potential functions. By conducting several kinds of experimental conditions, it was found that the height of the ascending fluid in the tube is inversely proportional to the rayon of the tube or the distance of the plate. This model is an essential element in the theory of capillarity. Laplace has brought Newtonian mechanics to completion, which relates to the standard model of gravitational theory. Laplace-Young's equation of capillarity is applicable to minimal surfaces in mathematics, to surface tensional phenomena in physics, and to soap bubble experiments.

High-frequency staircases are widely used nowadays to meet aesthetics and functionality needed in modern architecture. Unfortunately, no design guide is available in domestic practice to predict response or evaluate the vibration performance of high-frequency staircases. SCI-P354 published by the Steel Construction Institute of UK provides the formula for effective impulsive force. However, this formula was shown to overestimate the response of high-frequency staircases excited by fast ascending and descending over 2.2Hz pace frequency because it was developed based on the walking test in a slow pace frequency. This study proposes a semi-analytical formula to predict the response of stiff staircases based on analytical and experimental studies of response acceleration for various walking frequencies covering 1.4~4.5Hz.

The purpose of this study was to bring together evidence of the operation and impact of legislation to prohibit age discrimination in those countries that have such laws. We identified 5 countries with extensive age discrimination legislation: the US, Canada, Australia, Finland and Republic of Ireland. The objectives and cultural context of age discrimination lesgislation, which plays a large part in each country determining what type of lesgislation is deemed to be appropriate. The effeciveness or impact of the legislation, in terms of progress towards these objectives. Some key issues where choices of emphasis will need to be made in the introduction of new legislation to reduce age discrimination.

This study is to discuss on intrinsic justification of 'citizenship' and 'spaces of citizenship' to inquiry possibility of citizenship education through geography subject. According to Peters' educational view as forms of knowledge and initiation, citizenship was intrinsically justified through examination of forms of geographical knowledge. The analysis of paradigms in geography shows that 'the human' and 'the social' are generally combined in 'space'-centered language and ideologies through post-positivism. That is, it refuses the concept of physical space which is value neutral, and seeks turn to spaces of citizenship which is value-intrinsic through social space theory. Given that changes in the forms of geographical knowledge lead changes in content knowledge of geography subject, citizenship is to be justified intrinsically. Thus, citizenship as content knowledge of geography subject is to be justified not extrinsically through acceptance of social studies' educational aim in itself but intrinsically through forms of geographical knowledge. And geographical education as initiation into value and belief of citizenship based on these spaces of citizenship is not about making students have arrived at a destination, but about them travel with a different view.

This study analyzed the characteristics of prospective teachers' Horizon Content Knowledge(HCK) related to understandings of an inverse function symbol. This study aimed to deduce implications of developing HCK in terms of the means which would enhance mathematics teachers' professional development. In order to achieve the aim, this study identified features of HCK by examining the previous literature on HCK, which has conformed Ball & Bass(2009) and exploring the research in AMT, including Zazkis & Leikin(2010) which has emphasized cultivating AMT through university mathematics education. In addition, a questionnaire was developed regarding the features of HCK and taken by 57 prospective teachers. By analyzing the data obtained from the written responses the participants presented, this study delineated the specific characteristics of the teachers' HCK with regard to an inverse function symbol. Additionally, several issues in the teacher education for improving HCK were discussed, and the results of this research could inspire designing and implementing a teacher education program relevant to HCK.
