The purpose of the study is to analyze the mediating effects of self-image on the relationship between experience of discrimination and self-esteem among the elderly in Korea. Furthermore, it is to explore whether these effects are moderated by social and economic activity participation. Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 543 community-dwelling Korean older adults (age≥65) drawn from community and senior centers in the mid-size city in Korea. The statistical analysis was performed by a structural equation modeling using LISREL statistical program. The results are fourfold. First, experiences of discrimination exerted the negative effects on physical, dispositional, and competent self-images of the elderly. Second, dispositional and competent self-image brought down by discriminative experiences lowered the levels of self-esteem. Third, social activity participation moderated the negative effects of discrimination experiences on physical and dispositional self-images. It also moderated the effects of dispositional self-image on self-esteem. Fourth, economic activity participation did not show moderating effects on the relationship between experience of discrimination and self-images. Meanwhile, it moderated the effect of competent self-image on self-esteem. These results demonstrate that to improve self-esteem of the elderly population, social welfare policies should make effort to reduce discrimination toward the elderly. Furthermore, social welfare organizations should also try to implement diverse community based programs geared for enhancing social and economic activities for elderly. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

The next generation electronics need to not only be smaller but also be more flexible. To meet such demands, electronic devices using two dimensional (2D) atomic crystals have been studied intensely. Especially, graphene which have unprecedented performance fulfillments in versatile research fields leads a parade of 2D atomic crystals. In this talk, I will introduce the electrical characterization and applications of graphene for prominently electrical transistors realization. Even the rising 2D atomic crystals such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and organic thin film for field effect transistor (FET) toward competent enhancement will be mentioned.

The paper describes the integrated design system using MDO and approximation technique. In MDO related research, final target is an integrated and automated MDO framework systems. However, in order to construct the integrated design system, the prerequisite condition is how much save computational cost because of iterative process in optimization design and lots of data information in CAD/CAE integration. Therefore, this paper presents that an efficient approximation method, Adaptive Approximation, is a competent strategy via MDO framework systems.

Korean construction companies are recently facing stiff competition in free market economy, and construction projects tend to be complex and large-scale. Such an environment demands that construction companies ensure specialized subcontractors. This paper suggested a subcontractor evaluation model for selection of competent subcontractors which are equipped with operational, technical and productive ability. For designing a subcontractor model, AHP method as a group decision-marking method is applied in assigning weighting indices of evaluation elements. To verify this method, actual data collected in one of construction companies are analysed statistically.

AHP is a competent methodology for multicriteria decision-making such as selection of technology in research laboratory, which requires the consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors. This paper considers prioritization of technology alternatives using value functions for evaluating quantitative factors in AHP. Value functions are useful for the reducing questionars in this paper.

Flavonols are polyphenolic compounds that are present in dietary plant-based foodstuffs and beverages (e. g. apple, onion, grape fruit, tea) and medicinal plants (e. g. Crategus, Ruta graveolens, Silybum marianum, Fagopyrum species) in high concentrations. They have been reported to exhibit a wide variety of biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant and free-radical-scavenging activities.(omitted)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between children's attributional style and their self-perceived competence. The subjects of this study were 301 third and sixth grades. For data analysis, two-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression were used. Results indicated that there was significant correlation between children's attributional style and their self-perceived competence. Children who attributed good events to intemal, stable, or global causes and bad events to extemal, unstable, or specific causes perceived themselves more competent.

Many uncertainties are found in the evaluation of historical eatrhquake records. The seismic response characteristics of a three-bay-straw-roof house which is a typical from of residence in ancient period is quantitatively estimated. Two 1:4 scaled models are used in the test Real earthquake time histories for rock and competent soil conditions are used.

Indisputably school is the main institution that socialises migrant children into the culture of their new country. Through school they learn the new language and customs, which will enable them to become cultural brokers between the new cultural world and their families. During this process migrant children often transit a liminal terrain where their roles and identity become at the same time diverse and ambivalent. Despite the challenges involved these children often become experts in juggling different cultures, environments and expectations. This study explores the experiences of Latin American children and their families as they start primary school in Australia.

To construct buildings methods and materials written on the book have been operated and managed with additional program as well as management techniques. However with 2D, a tool which has been used to design a plan, or simple 3D modeling weren't competent enough to plan, design and manage the buildings that are getting complex and higher To solve these problems BIM that enable steps(from planning, designing to maintenance management) to be used as a information is being used.
