The purpose of this study is to critically interpret generational trends in contemporary Korea through understanding the consumer experiences of luxury bag purchases of women in their late 20s and early 30s. Previous studies on luxury consumption tend to focus on an analysis of the value of luxury products as a sign and a symbol, the characteristics or class identity of luxury consumers, or expressive behavior in terms of ideal self-image. While including these factors, this study also expands the scope to a reflexive understanding of the social structural context behind the phenomenon of personal consumption. This was achieved by considering consumption in terms of the style and practice of everyday life, as well as its opportunities and limitations. In particular, we pay attention to how luxury bags are reproduced as media, which is a process that is circulated back to consumption, and through this process, this study reflects on capitalist life and subjects.

In this study, probabilistic analysis of seepage through a two-layered soil foundation was performed. The hydraulic conductivity of soil shows significant spatial variations in different layers because of stratification; further, it varies on a smaller scale within each individual layer. Therefore, the deterministic seepage analysis method was extended to develop a probabilistic approach that accounts for the uncertainties and spatial variation of the hydraulic conductivity in a layered soil profile. Two-dimensional random fields were generated on the basis of the Karhunen-Lo$\grave{e}$ve expansion in a manner consistent with a specified marginal distribution function and an autocorrelation function for each layer. A Monte Carlo simulation was then used to determine the statistical response based on the random fields. A series of analyses were performed to verify the application potential of the proposed method and to study the effects of uncertainty due to the spatial heterogeneity on the seepage behavior of two-layered soil foundation beneath water retaining structure. The results showed that the probabilistic framework can be used to efficiently consider the various flow patterns caused by the spatial variability of the hydraulic conductivity in seepage assessment for a layered soil foundation.

This study is to explore the applicability of PBL classes in undergraduate education at a School of Dentistry. To do this study, PBL modules were developed and applied to the students with different background knowledge to easily learn Integrated Medicine and Lifescience classes. Participants were 12 students in the first year of Integrated MS program at P University. Four tutors who majored in Dentistry and had PBL teaching experience participated. As a result of the PBL classes, students' concepts and knowledge about gene expression and expression were expanded, and they recognized the importance of self-directed learners and experienced the importance of collaborative learning. PBL tutor presented a positive assessment of attending PBL class experience and the educational need for PBL instruction. The results of this study show the possibility of PBL as a model for Integrated Medicine and Lifescience class in Dentistry education.

A 10-year-old intact female Yorkshire terrier dog was referred for evaluation of marked abdominal distension and hemorrhagic effusion. Abdominal radiography and ultrasonography demonstrated abdominal effusion and intraabdominal mass with anechoic cystic components. On ascites cytology, neoplastic epithelial cells with vacuolated cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli were identified. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the well-defined, heterogeneous, and large mass filled the intraabdominal cavity. At necropsy, a large mass arising from the right ovary was observed. Histopathologically, the mass was composed of papillary structures lined by neoplastic epithelial cells. The dog was definitively diagnosed as malignant ovarian adenocarcinoma with papillary pattern based on clinical and histopathological findings.

The indentation test, which is one of the testing methods for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials, can be applied to the evaluation of creep properties. Many studies related to the indentation creep test, however, have just focused on the characteristics of the steady-state creep, so there are wide discrepancies between the uniaxial test and the indentation test. To obtain accurate creep properties, it is therefore important to consider the effects of transient creep. In the present work, the Ogbonna et al.'s work on the spherical indentation test including the transient creep was expanded and applied to the conical indentation creep test. The characteristics of the transient creep were analyzed via finite element simulations and compared with those obtained through spherical indentation. Other effects, such as elastic strain, indenter shape, contact area, and representative strain, which have not been considered properly in prior studies on the creep test, are also discussed.

In this paper, I focus on the performativity thesis introduced and developed by Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars such as Callon, MacKenzie, etc. since the mid 1990s. The performativity thesis was discussed in economic sociology by STS scholars has been pervaded to other research areas including general economics, accounting, finance and so on. The main idea of the thesis is that economic theories perform, shape, and format economy rather than just describe economy. I show that the thesis is based on the traditional STS ideas such as performativity derived from Merton's self-fulfilling prophecy and the actor-network theory. Although the thesis has been criticised by various researchers from both inside and outside STS, it has provided meaningful implications for understanding economic phenomenon from a viewpoint of STS. Furthermore, reflexive researches for performativity of STS theories can be discussed in the next stage.

The purpose of this study is to understand in-depth the effect of self-directed practice in for core fundamental nursing skills applying reciprocal peer tutoring on the learning of nursing college students. The study participants were 15 students in the 4th grade of the department of nursing, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. The results of analysis resulted in four themes: 'motivation of learning', 'self-directed learning', 'improving achievement', and 'insufficient learning requirements'. The core fundamental nursing skills applying reciprocal peer tutoring has a positive experience of inducing motivation of learning for participants through a comfortable environment and improving self-confidence, and gaining opportunities to lead prior learning and learn in the learner's language. However, there have been experiences where additional knowledge expansion is difficult and feelings of insecurity is felt due to insufficient learning requirements. Therefore, when applying the reciprocal peer tutoring method to self-directed practice, it is considered to be effective if the professor applies a method that can sufficiently satisfy the learner's learning needs.

In this study, we analyze the characteristics of wireless power transfer(WPT) based on magnetic resonance in an underwater environment and propose an equivalent model suitable for underwater WPT. The proposed underwater WPT equivalent model is constructed by expanding the free-space WPT T-model reflecting characteristics change according to media. Considering the water salinity, we propose a method to extract the parameters of the proposed model based on the S parameters. To verify the proposed model, a 6.78-MHz underwater WPT system was constructed and compared with the predicted power transfer efficiency of the model. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposed model predicts the variation of characteristics with an average error of less than 3 %.

The purpose of this study is to conduct an in-depth interview on 5 middle aged women who have attempted suicide in the past and to explore their suicide attempts and the vivid empirical value of life after the attempt. The collected data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological approach. The data analysis resulted in 21 sub categories and 7 essential categories. Study participants experienced an-'selected death at the end of a cliff', 'standing on the border of life and death', 'life became clear after escaping delusion', 'working toward life once again', 're-evaluating their past life and discovering new possibilities', 'experiencing the vividness of life here', 'spiritual growth and deeper insight'. Such results offer a discussion on existence toward self-completion, and hold significance in that it increased our in depth understanding and recognition beyond the narrow perceptions of individuals who attempt suicide.
