This study surveyed the diversity and community characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates and freshwater fish, which are the main animal classifications in a hydro ecosystem, from May to September 2017 in the western plains of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The results showed a total of 125 species of benthic macroinvertebrates belonging to 66 families, 19 orders, and four phyla in the streams and wetlands. Among benthic macroinvertebrates, Coleoptera (27 spp.: 21.60%) was the largest group in terms of species richness followed by Odonata (26 spp.: 20.80%), non-Insecta (22 spp.: 17.60%), and Hemiptera (11 spp.: 8.80%) occupying in the lentic area. Of the feeding function groups (FFGs), predators (51 spp.: 56.67%) showed a relatively larger presence, indicating the dominance of hygrophilous invertebrates that usually inhabit the freshwater wetlands or ponds. Of the habitat oriented groups (HOGs), climbers (33 spp.: 24.44%) and burrowers (17 spp.: 12.59%) were the dominant groups. This observation is typical in a slow flowing habitat and can lead to the disturbance of the ecosystem due to cannibalism among predators. Cannibalism can be caused by stress induced by various population and environmental factors. For the ecosystem services benchmark (ESB) value, site 13 appeared to be the highest with 82 marks while other sites showed relatively lower rates and indices (III water quality class with ${\alpha}$-mesosaprobic). The analysis result of stability factors showed that almost all sites were evaluated to be the I characteristic group with high resilience and resistance or the III characteristic group that was sensitive to environmental disturbance and formed uneven and unstable communities. Of the freshwater fishes, 46 species (3,405 individuals) belonging to 39 families and 18 orders were identified in all the investigated sites. Among them, Cyprinidae (30 spp.: 65.2%) was the largest group, and Zacco koreanus was identified as the dominant species (728 individuals, 21.4%). The survey of freshwater fish communities found both stable communities (sites 7 and 13) with low dominant index (0.39) and high diversity index (2.29) and unstable communities (sites 2, 3, 8, and 10) in opposite tendency. This survey found five Korean endemic species, 17 species belonging to the export controlled species, two endangered species level II (Lethocerus deyrollei and Cybister chinensis), and rare species (Dytiscus marginalis czerskii) among benthic macroinvertebrates. The survey also found an invasive species, Ampullarius insularus, which was distributed throughout the whole area and thus can continuously disturb the ecosystem in the western plain area in the DMZ. Of freshwater fish, one natural monument (Hemibarbus mylodon) and three endangered species level II (Acheilognathus signifer, Gobiobotia macrocephalus, and G. brevibarba) were observed. The survey also found four introduced species (Pomacea canaliculate, Carassius cuvieri, Lepomis macrochirus, Micropterus salmoides) in the western DMZ area, indicating the need for the protection and conservation measures.

Urban development is continuously being carried out to stabilize housing supply. The importance of ecosystem services assessments considering the various urban spatial structures is emerging as land use change in the wake of urban development has impact on the provision of ecosystem services. However, few studies are available as to the effects of land use transition in agricultural land due to urban development on ecosystem services. The purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of decision-making in the urban planning process by analyzing the impact of land use change on ecosystem services due to urban development. Therefore, the scenario was set on before and after the city development, targeting Namyangju Wangsuk Zone 1 and InVEST model was used to compare and analyze changes in value of ecosystem services. Analysis results of ecosystem services before the urban development, it turned out that habitat quality and water yield increased overtime but carbon storage and crop production decreased. Analysis results of ecosystem services after the urban development indicated that all items in ecosystem services by scenario decreased more than in 2018. Among the scenarios of urban development, compact city had the lowest value of water resource supply but had the highest value in terms of habitat quality, carbon storage amount, and crop production. The study results demonstrate that the compact city has positive effects on ecosystem services and is expected to be used as the basic data for supporting policy decision-making in the establishment of future urban development and management plans.

For the remediation and restoration of contaminated sediment at the West Sea-Byeong dumping site, dredged materials was dumped in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. The physicochemical properties and benthic fauna in surface sediments of the capping area (5 stations) and natural recovery area (2 stations) were analyzed annually from 2014 to 2020 to evaluate the capping effect of the dredged materials. The natural recovery area had a finer sediment with a mean particle size of 5.91-7.64 Φ, while the sediment in the capping area consisted of coarse-grained particles with a mean particle size of 1.47-3.01 Φ owing to the capping effect of dredged materials. Considering that the contents of organic matters (COD, TOC, and TN) and heavy metals in the capping area are approximately 50 % lower (p<0.05) than that in the natural recovery area, it is judged that there is a capping effect of dredged materials. As a result of analyzing macrobenthic assemblages, the number of species and ecological indices of the capping area were significantly lower than that of the natural recovery area (p<0.05). The number of species and ecological indices at the capping area were increased for the first four years after the capping in 2013 and 2014 and then tended to decrease thereafter. It is presumed that opportunistic species, which have rapid growth and short lifetime, appeared dominantly during the initial phase of capping, and the additory capping in 2016 and 2017 caused re-disturbance in the habitat environment. In the natural recovery and capping areas, Azti's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) was evaluated as a fine healthy status because it maintained the level of 2^nd grades (Good), whereas Benthic Pollution Index (BPI) remained at the 1^st and 2^nd grade. Therefore, capping of dredged materials for remediation of contaminated sediment in the dumping site has the effect of reducing the pollution level. However, in terms of the benthic ecosystem, it is recommended that the recovery trend should be monitored long-term. Additionally, it is necessary to introduce an adaptive management strategy when expanding the project to remediate the contaminated sediment at the dumping area in the future.

The purposes of the study were to identify a comprehensive competency list related to the jobs of nutrition teachers and to compare the competency needs for nutrition teachers and dieticians' competency levels. Job functional areas and a competency list for nutrition teachers were developed based on a review of literature and revised through expert panel reviews. A total of 53 competency statements associated with 11 job functional areas were specified. Questionnaires were distributed to 457 dieticians engaged in school food service and 148 responses were returned (response rate: 32.4%). Excluding incomplete responses, 142 questionnaires were used for data analysis. Approximately half of the respondents were enrolled in an 1-year nutrition teacher certificate program, 25% in a graduate school of nutrition education, and 19% had completed an 1-year nutrition teacher certificate program. The dieticians highly rated requirements of the competencies related to sanitation and employee safety, nutrition counseling, nutrition education, and teaching practices; in contrary, their competency levels for nutrition education, nutrition counseling, and teaching practices were low. Respondents' competency levels were significantly lower than the required competency levels of effective nutrition teachers in all functional areas. A quadratic analysis based on the requirement and self-evaluation of the competencies revealed that priorities of education programs targeting school nutrition teachers or students preparing to be nutrition teachers should be placed on improving competencies related to nutrition education, nutrition counseling, teaching practices, sanitation and employee safety, menu management, and human resource management. These results can be used to develop curriculum materials for basic and continuing professional education for nutrition teachers. It is necessary to review and update competencies regularly to reflect environmental changes in school food service programs.

고압전류가 흐르는 송전탑이 주거 밀집지역 인근에 설치되거나 송전탑과 가까운 곳에 아파트가 건설되면서 주민들이 한전을 상대로 손해배상 청구소송을 추진하는 등 전자파 피해에 따른 민원이 끊이지 않고 있다. 이와 같은 문제에 대해 해결책을 제시하기 위해서는 송전선 주변 전자파의 실체에 대해 과학적이고 객관적인 조사를 거쳐 국민에게 납득할 수 있는 대안을 제시하는 것이 선행되어야할 작업이다. 그러나 현재 전자파 데이터는 조사 지점만의 단편적인 측정치를 보여주는 수준에 머물러 있어 전자파 확산 등 광역적인 분포 추이에 대한 시각적인 정보를 입수하는 데 상당한 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GIS기반의 공간 모델링 기법을 활용하여 거리와 전류를 토대로 분포되는 송전선 주변의 전자파 시뮬레이션 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 이와 같은 문제에 대해 대안을 제시하고자, 지역주민이 일상생활에서 접하고 있는 지역의 지도(건물, 도로망 등)를 전자파 유동에 관한 이론에 의거하여 3차원 상에서 전자파 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 전자파 시뮬레이션 결과를 검증하기 위해 사용한 실측 데이터는 인천광역시 서구 가정2동에 위치한 봉수 초등학교의 학생들에게 전자파 측정장비를 부착하도록 하여 확보하였다 송전선에서 전자파 방출에 개입하는 거리와 전류의 세기에 의거하여 전자파의 분포를 예측하였으며 실측 데이터와 이론적인 데이터를 비교하여 상관성을 평가했다. 통상 전자파 조사과정은 지도에 표기된 조사지점을 일일이 확인하는 등 모든 측정 작업을 수작업에 의존하고 있다. 따라서 DB구축에 시간이 많이 소요되고 정확도도 많이 떨어질 수밖에 없어 다양한 조건으로 방대한 자료를 공간상에서 검색하는 것 자체가 불가능하였다. 전자파의 분포를 그래픽정보로 가공하여 광역적인 전자파 변화 추이를 풍부한 시각 정보로 디스플레이 하는 것도 어려웠다. 또한 수작업으로 인한 실수도 많이 발생하고 그에 따른 교정 작업도 복잡하였다. 본 연구에서는 송전선에서 방출되어지는 전자파의 이론적인 데이터와 실측 데이터의 상관성에 따른 분석 결과를 가지고 실측 데이터 없이 GIS 기반의 3D 시뮬레이션에 의거하여 전자파의 공간적인 가시화를 수행할 수 있었다. 본 전자파 시뮬레이션 기법이 실무에 이용될 경우, 일반인이 전자파의 분포에 대한 전문지식을 습득할 필요 없이, 검색하고자 하는 지역과 송전선, 전철 등 각종 전자파의 발생 공간 객체를 선택하여 실생활과 관련된 전자파 정보에 예측할 수 있어, 대민 환경정보 서비스 질의 개선측면에서 획기적인 계기를 마련할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, the necessity of systems which effectively store and retrieve video data has increased. Conventional video retrieval systems retrieve data using menus or text based keywords. Due to the lack of information, many video clips are simultaneously searched, and the user must have a certain level of knowledge to utilize the system. In this paper, we suggest a natural language based conversational video retrieval system that reflects users' intentions and includes more information than keyword based queries. This system can also retrieve from events or people to their movements. First, an event database is constructed based on meta-data which are generated by domain analysis for collected video in an office environment. Then, a script database is also constructed based on the query pre-processing and analysis. From that, a method to retrieve a video through a matching technique between natural language queries and answers is suggested and validated through performance and process evaluation for 10 users The natural language based retrieval system has shown its better efficiency in performance and user satisfaction than the menu based retrieval system.

For sustainable management under uncertainty, organizations should explore factors influencing organizational creativity. This research examined affective commitment as the factor expected to increase organizational creativity. Clarifying the relationship between affective commitment and organizational creativity, we consider training motivation as a moderator. The participants in this empirical study were 472 employees and 64 firms' CEO to confirm hypotheses that training motivation make strengthen the positive relationship between affective commitment and organizational creativity. Results showed that organizational creativity was associated with affective commitment. Moreover, there was a moderating effect of training motivation on the relationship between organizational commitment and organizational creativity. This study attempted to avoid common method bias by using different sources such as CEO's response and employees' response. The implications for future research are discussed, including exploring the mechanism of organizational creativity and practice.

This study examines the retrieval efficiency of the FRBR-based bibliographic retrieval system. To do this, we built two experimental retrieval systems(a FRBR-based system constructed through FRBRizing algorithms and an OPAC-based retrieval system) using 387 music materials coded in a KORMARC format. Next, we set up six hypotheses and compared these two systems in terms of recall, precision, and retrieval time using 28 participants and a questionnaire with 12 queries. The results show that the average recall value of the FRBR-based system Is higher than that of the OPAC system regardless of query types and the average precision and retrieval time values of manifestation queries of the OPAC system is more efficient that those of the FRBR-based system. This study results can be used to customize digital library interfaces as well as to improve the retrieval efficiency of the bibliographic retrieval system.
