  • Southeast Asia accounts for nearly a tenth of total worldwide cross-border movements of migrant workers. Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, and Philippines make up the sending countries while Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are the major destinations. Migrant worker movements are predominantly in production process and low- to medium-skilled sectors. It is not unusual for irregular or undocumented movements to take place. In not a few instances, migrants work under harsh and exploitative conditions. In recent years, however, ASEAN has taken steps to manage labor migration at the regional level. The paper argues that ASEAN has not managed these cross-border labor flows as well as it should particularly in terms of protecting and promoting the human rights of migrants. It will be difficult to establish the genuine building blocks for a regional human rights mechanism unless there is a diffusion of alternative universal norms and standards to what ASEAN already embodies. As long as states resist any attempt to weaken or question or deligitimize their capacity to determine who gets to enter, stay, and leave their jurisdictions, it will be difficult to establish an effective migrant rights framework for the region.

  • To enhance safety in dangerous situations, it is essential to provide practice-oriented safety education. However, direct experiences can be limited, and thus, metaverse-based safety education is emerging as an alternative. In this study, we analyzed the first official metaverse safety education program of the Korea Ministry of Education, mainly focusing on its title, objectives, content, and results using the Revised PRISMA framework. The program concentrates on "life safety" for "fire safety," "disaster safety" for "earthquake safety," and "first aid" for "abrasions, burns, fractures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the use of AED." We classified the objectives of the entire program and its three sub-programs, and identified the knowledge, main practice tasks, and their results. The aim of this study is to promote an understanding of the main cases of national-led metaverse safety education and infer the practical safety education contents emphasized to Korean school-age students.

  • The interpretations of degree expressions require the postulation of new entities to represent degrees. Diverse entities such as degrees, intervals, and vectors are adopted for degree expressions. Positive degree sentences and questions are properly construed with the introduction of these entities, but their negative counterparts need more consideration. Negative degree sentences show dual patterns of entailments depending on contexts, and negative degree questions are unacceptable, making weak islands. To explicate the distinct nature of negative degree sentences and questions, Fox & Hackl (2006) provide an analysis based on degrees while Abrusan & Spector (2010) suggest a proposal in interval readings of degree expressions. I have pointed out the theoretical problems of these analyses and proposed an alternative in the framework of the vector space semantics, following Winter (2005). Bi-directional scales in vector space fit well with the dual patterns of negative degree sentences, and the notion of a reference vector is useful to accommodate the contextual influence in negative degree sentences and to deal with the unacceptability of negative degree questions.

  • Mathematical argument has been given much attention in the research literature as a mediating construct between reasoning and proof. However, there have been relatively less efforts made in the research that examined the nature of empirical arguments represented in textbooks and how students perceive them as proofs. Cases of point include Intermediate Value Theorem [IVT] and Maximum-Minimum theorem [MMT] in grade 11 in Korea. In this study, using Toulmin's framework (1958), the author analyzed the substance of the empirical arguments provided for both MMT and IVT to draw comparisons between the nature of datum, claims, and warrants among empirical arguments offered in textbooks. Also, an online survey was administered to learn about how students view as proofs the empirical arguments provided for MMT and IVT. Results indicate that nearly half of students tended to accept the empirical arguments as proofs. Implications are discussed to suggest alternative approaches for teaching MMT and IVT.

  • 공학적 시스템 최적설계의 가장 중요한 과정은 설계변수와 시스템 응답과의 관계를 파악하는 것이다. 시스템 최적화의 경우 반응표면법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 반응표면법의 최적화 과정은 대표적인 후보대안을 이용하여 설계공간을 구성하고, 설정된 설계 공간에서 설계 최적점을 찾는다. 설계공간의 구성에 따라 최적점이 변화되므로 합리적인 최적점을 찾기 위해서는 설계공간의 구성이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 설계변수와 시스템응답의 관계를 신경반응표면을 이용하여 설계공간을 구성하고, 구성된 설계 공간 안에서 다목적유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적 형상을 예측 할 수 있는 '신경반응표면을 이용한 공학 구조물 설계 프레임워크 구축'을 시도하였다. 구축된 프레임워크의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 비선형 수학함수 문제를 적용하였다. 구축된 프레임워크를 통해 공학문제의 최적화 과정에서 시간의 제약을 해결하고, 효과적인 최적설계가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후에는 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 실제 조선해양공학 최적화 문제에 적용을 시도할 것이다.

  • 원격탐사 자료 기반의 식생지수 시계열 자료를 이용함에 있어서 가장 중요한 것은 구름이나 에어로졸에 의한 자료의 품질저하 문제이다. 이 연구에서는 MODIS09 지표 분광반사도 자료를 이용하여 구름영향에 의한 저품질 자료를 제거한 뒤 결손자료를 내삽, 평활하여 연속적인 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 시계열 자료를 생산하였다. 구름에 의한 영향을 제거하기 위한 방법으로 MODIS 분광반사도 자료를 이용한 5가지의 구름탐지기법을 선정하여 비교, 평가하였다. 위성자료에서 제공하는 품질관리정보 (Quality Assessment, QA)에서 구름이라고 판단한 경우, MODIS09 Band 3 반사도가 10% 이상인 경우와 20% 이상인 경우, Cloud Detection Index (CDI)가 임계값 이상인 경우, 센서 천정각이 $32.25^{\circ}$ 이상인 경우를 각각 구름으로 판단하였다. 구름탐지로 인해 발생한 자료의 결손은 선형적 내삽 기법을 이용하여 보정한 뒤 Savitzky-Golay (S-G) 필터와 웨이브렛 변환을 각각 적용하여 평활하였다. 구름 탐지 기법은 10% 이상 Band 3 반사도 제거 기법(85%), Quality Control (QC) (82%), 20% 이상 Band 3 반사도 제거 기법(81%)의 순으로 높은 구름탐지율을 보였다. 웨이브렛 변환은 선형의 시계열 패턴을 얻을 수 있지만 원 자료의 최대값을 반영하지 못하는 반면 S-G 필터는 구름에 의한 신뢰도 낮은 값은 제거하면서도 NDVI 원 자료의 최대값을 유지하여 시계열 자료의 계절적 특성을 잘 보여주는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구에서는 구름의 탐지, 결손 내삽, 평활 기법의 순차적인 자료처리기법을 적용하여 구름 영향을 제거한 고품질의 시계열 자료의 생산이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • The objective of this paper is to think about what structural reforms of the Korean government S&T development management system might be. Korean society is currently experiencing a drastic socio-economic transformation. The results of this transformation should be reflected on the determining process of the directions and breadths of structural reforms of government S&T development management system. Because the government system design will be based on the premises of socio-economic conditions under which administrative activities perform and also this socio-economic changes can influence on changes of the premises of government management system design. Moreover, S&T development management system is a subsystem of government system so that the directions of structural reform of those subsystems should be considered in the broad framework changes in the development management system of the government. For the last forty years, the Korean government S&T development management system has been based on the premises including transformation from an agrarian society to an industrial society, authoritarianism and centrally controlled institutions, and exteremely small portions of private investments for science and thechonology R & D of the total. Recently, however, the premises of Korean government S&T development management system have rapidly changed. the characteristics of these changes are including tranformation from an industrial society to a knowledge and information intensive society, globalization, localization, and relatively large portion of private investments for science and technology R & C of the total. The basis of government reforms in Korea was the realization of the performances and values through the enhancement of national competitive capacity, attainment of lean government, decentralization and autonomy. However, the Korean government has attached a symbolic value of strategic organizations representing strong policy intentions of government for the science and technology based development. Most problems associated with the Korean government S&T development management system have grown worse during 1990s. Many people perceive that considerable part of this problem was generated because the government could not properly adapt itself to new administrative environment and the paradigm shift in its role. First of all, the Korean government S&T development management system as a whole failed to develop an integrated vision under which processes in formulating science and thechology development goals and developing consistent government plans concerning science and technology development are guided. Second, most of the local governments have little organizational capacity and manpowers to handle localized activities to promote science and technology in their regions. Third, the measure to coordinate and set priorities to invest resources for the development of science and technology was not effective. Fourth, the Most has been losing its reputation as the symbol of ideological commitment of the top policy maker to promote science and technology. Various ideas to reform government S&T development management system have been suggested recently. Most frequently cited ideas are as follow : (ⅰ)strengthen the functions of MoST by supplementing the strong incentive and regulatory measures; (ⅱ)create a new Ministry of Education, Science & Technology and Research by merging the Ministry of Education and the MoST; (ⅲ)create a new Ministry of Science & Technology and Industry ; and(ⅳ)create a National Science and Technology Policy Council under the chairmanship of the President. Four alternatives suggested have been widely discussed among the interested parties and they each have merits as well as weaknesses. The first alternative could be seen as an alternative which cannot resolve current conflicts among various ministries concerning priority setting and resource allocation. However, this alternatives can be seen as a way of showing the top policymaker's strong intention to emphasize science and technology based development. Second alternative is giving a strategic to emphasize on the training and supplying qualified manpower to meet knowledge and information intensive future society. This alternative is considered to be consistent with the new administrative paradigm emphasizing lean government and decentralization. However, opponents are worrying about the linkages and cooperative research between university and industry could be weakening. The third alternative has been adopted mostly in nations which have strong basic science research but weak industrial innovation traditions. Main weakness of this alternative for Korea is that Korean science and technology development system has no strong basic science and technology research traditions. The fourth alternative is consistent with new administrative paradigms and government reform bases. However, opponents to this alternative are worried that the intensive development of science and technology because of Korea's low potential research capabilities in science and technology development. Considerning the present Korean socio-economic situation which demands highly qualified human resources and development strategies which emphasizes the accumulations of knowledge-based stocks, I would like to suggest the route of creating a new Ministry of Education, Science & Technology and Research by intergrating education administration functions and science & technology development function into one ministry.

  • This paper examines the actions and the factors driving those actions to reduce energy consumption and enhance energy efficiency taken by United States cities. While not much empirical evidence is available on why governments pursue practical sustainability actions, we attempt to shed more light on this important topic by empirically identifying factors that contribute to concrete actions toward sustainability policies. We adopt political market theory as a basic theoretical framework with policy-making applied to city energy consumption. Using the 2010 ICMA (local government sustainability policies and program) data, this study expands the focus of analyses to evaluate the effect of the form of government on energy consumption and energy efficiency by using multiple regression analysis. The findings show that at the city level, the mayor-council form of government are negatively associated with governments' efforts to reduce energy consumption. However, cities with at-large elections and municipal ownership are more likely to adopt sustainability actions. We also find that a large-scale economy has significant effects on the effort to reduce city energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. This shows that environmental policies are directly connected to locally relevant affairs, including housing, energy use, green transportation, and water. Thus, local level administrators could take an executive role to protect the environment, encourage the development of alternative energy, and reduce the use of fossil fuel and coal energy. These efforts can lead to important environmental ramifications and relevant actions by municipal governments.
