Objectives: To assess knowledge of HPV and attitudes towards HPV vaccination among the general female population, government officials, and healthcare providers in China to assist the development of an effective national HPV vaccination program. Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiologic survey was conducted across 21 urban and rural sites in China using a short questionnaire. 763 government officials, 760 healthcare providers, and 11,681 women aged 15-59 years were included in the final analysis. Data were analyzed using standard descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results: Knowledge of HPV among the general female population was low; only 24% had heard of HPV. Less than 20% of healthcare providers recognized sexually na$\ddot{i}$ve women as the most appropriate population for HPV vaccination. There was high acceptance of the HPV vaccine for all categories of respondents. Only 6% of women were willing to pay more than US $300 for the vaccine. Conclusions: Aggressive education is necessary to increase knowledge of HPV and its vaccine. Further proof of vaccine safety and efficacy and government subsidies combined with increased awareness could facilitate development and implementation of HPV vaccination in China.

2011년 한-유럽 FTA 체결 이후 두 지역의 거래액은 증가일로에 있으며 전체 시장은 지속적으로 확대되고 있다. 여러 운송수단을 이용하는 복합국제운송에 대한 관심이 늘어나며 기존의 해운운송 위주의 운송 방식에서 철도를 포함한 두 가지 이상의 운송수단을 사용하는 다중운송경로를 통한 운송이 확대되고 있다. COVID-19의 영향으로 2019년 세계 화물 시장이 타격을 받았는데 특히 해상 및 항공 노선의 급격한 제한에 기인하고 한국의 대유럽 수출도 감소하였다. 이러한 영향에도 2020년 CRE(China Railway Express) 화물 열차의 총 수는 2016년 대비 7.3배 증가한 12,406개 노선으로 전년 대비 50% 증가하였다. 철도를 이용한 육상기반의 화물운송에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 있어 왔으나 한국과 유럽의 운송노선에 대한 연구는 TSR(Trans Siberian Railway), 수에즈 해운(Suez Shipping), 기존 TCR(Trans China Railway) 노선에 국한되었다. 본 논문은 중국에서의 일대일로 구상에 따라 최근 변화를 겪고있는 실크로드의 핵심에 초점을 맞추어 중국-유럽 화물열차(CRE)를 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. Fuzzy-AHP는 한국에서 유럽으로 가는 국제 복합항로 선정 시 요인의 우선순위를 결정하는데 사용하였으며 중국과 한국의 전문가 설문조사를 통해 결과를 도출하였다. 요인 선정 후 TOPSIS 방법을 적용하여 계획된 3개의 경로를 순위화하였다. 그 결과 총비용, 총시간, 서비스 신뢰도가 CRE 기반 복합운송을 선택할 때 의사결정자가 고려하는 요소로 나타났다. 또한, 주요 3개 복합운송노선에서 Route 1(인천-대련-만주-함부르크) 노선이 최적 노선이고 Route 2(인천-리차오-얼롄하오터-함부르크)와 Route 3(인천-롄윈강-시안-함부르크) 순서로 나타났다.

Previous experimental researches indicate that reinforced concrete beam-column joints play an important role in the mechanical properties of moment resisting frame structures, so as to require proper design. In order to get better understanding of the beam-column joint performance, a rational model needs to be developed. Based on the former considerations, two typical models for calculating the shear carrying capacity of the beam-column joint including the inelastic reinforced concrete joint model and the softened strut-and-tie model are selected to be introduced and analyzed. After examining the applicability of two typical models mentioned earlier to interior beam-column joints, several adjustments are made to get better predicting of the test results. For the softened strut-and-tie model, four adjustments including modifications of the depth of the diagonal strut, the inclination angle of diagonal compression strut, the smeared stress of mild steel bars embedded in concrete, as well as the softening coefficient are made. While two adjustments for the inelastic reinforced concrete joint model including modifications of the confinement effect due to the column axial load and the correction coefficient for high concrete are made. It has been proved by test data that predicted results by the improved softened strut-and-tie model or the modified inelastic reinforced concrete joint model are consistent with the test data and conservative. Based on the test results, it is also not difficult to find that the improved beam-column joint model can be used to predict the joint carrying capacity and cracks development with sufficient accuracy.

The purpose of this study is to identify the differences in persuasive effectiveness of visual merchandising between consumers in Korea and China including the moderating roles of shopping value in effectiveness of visual merchandising. For the cross-cultural experiment, 2(degree of sensuousness of VM: high vs. low)${\times}$2(involvement: high vs. low)${\times}$2(nation: Korea vs. China) factorial design were used. A total of 480 questionnaires allocating 60 students to each group were distributed. The results were as follows. First, Chinese consumers were likely to respond favorably regardless of the degree of sensuousness of VM, while Korean consumers were more positive in high degree of sensuousness of VM. Second, aesthetic cognition of VM and attitude toward VM had positive influences on brand cognition in both countries. Third, Korean consumers with greater recognition of aesthetic attributes of VM had more positive brand attitude, while Chinese consumers with greater recognition of utilitarian attributes of VM had more positive brand attitude. Fourth, there were moderating effects of shopping value in persuasive effectiveness of VM in Chinese consumer group, while there were no significant moderating effects in Korean consumer group. With the cross-cultural interpretation of the fin-dings, strategic implications and suggestions for the global fashion retailing, specifically fashion visual merchandising, are provided.

In order to assess the effect of grazing on grasslands using floristic composition, we studied the floristic composition and plant biomass of steppe vegetation in Hulunbeier, Inner Mongolia. The dominant species of the grasslands were Stipa krylovii, Stipa grandis and Leymus chinensis. Floristic composition changed according to grazing pressure, being light, heavy and moderate. Under heavy grazing conditions, the importance value of P. acaulis, C. korshinskyi and Cleistogenes squarrosa increased in the plant community. These species were indicators of heavily grazed stand. Plant biomass of the stands ranged within 11.6g $m^{-2}$ and 63.5g $m^{-2}$ and 69.5g $m^{-2}$ and 166.2g $m^{-2}$ to the west and east of Lake Hulun, respectively. These values are equivalent to ca. $450{\sim}1,000kg$ of atmospheric carbon per hector, which is retained within the stand during the summer season.

On mesoscopic level, concrete can be treated as a three-phase composite material consisting of mortar, aggregates and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between mortar and aggregate. A lot of research has confirmed that ITZ plays a crucial role in the mechanical fracture process of concrete. The aim of the present study is to propose a numerical method on mesoscale to analyze the failure mechanism of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under mechanical loading, and then it will help precisely predict the damage or the cracking initiation and propagation of concrete. Concrete is meshed by means of the Rigid Body Spring Model (RBSM) concept, while the reinforcing steel bars are modeled as beam-type elements. Two kinds of RC members, i.e. subjected to uniaxial tension and beams under bending, the fracture process of concrete and the distribution of cracks, as well as the load-deflection relationships are investigated and compared with the available test results. It is found that the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental observations, indicating that the model can successfully simulate the failure process of the RC members.

High-strength structural bolts have been utilized for beam-to-column connections in steel-framed structural buildings. Failure of these components may be caused by the bolt shank fracture or threads stripping-off, documented in the literature. Furthermore, these structural bolts are galvanized for corrosion resistance or quenched-and-tempered in the manufacturing process. This paper adopted the finite element simulation to demonstrate discrete mechanical performance for these bolts under tensile loading conditions, the coated and uncoated numerical model has been built up for two numerical integration methods: explicit and implicit. Experimental testing and numerical methods can fully approach the failure mechanism of these bolts and their ultimate load capacities. Comparison has also been conducted for two numerical integration methods, demonstrating that the explicit integration procedure is also suitable for solving quasi-static problems. Furthermore, by using precise bolt models in T-Stub, more accurately simulate the mechanical behavior of T-Stub, which will lay the foundation of the mechanical properties of steel bolted joints.

This paper proposes a decision support model for USVs to improve the accuracy of collision avoidance decision-making. It is formed by Navigation Safety Domain (NSD) and domain-based Collision Risk Index (CRI), capable of determining the collision stage and risk between multiple ships. The NSD is composed of a warning domain and a forbidden domain, which is constructed under the constraints of COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea). The proposed domain based CRI takes the radius of NSD in various encounter situations as threshold parameters. It is found that the value of collision risk in any directions can be calculated, including actual value and risk threshold. A catamaran USV and 6 given vessels are taken as study objects to validate the proposed model. It is found that the judgment of collision stage is accurate and the azimuth range of risk exists can be detected, hence the ships can take direct and effective collision avoidance measures. According to the relation between the actual value of CRI and risk threshold, the decision support rules are summarized, and the specific terms of COLREGs to be followed in each encounter situation are given.

중국의 급속한 경제성장 추세는 물동량의 폭발적인 증가를 가져와 중국 국내뿐만 아니라 동북아 나아가 국제물류시장의 확산을 주도하고 있다. 이와 같이 중국은 동북아는 물론이고 전 세계적으로 물류수요를 창출하는 원천이며, 이에 따라 글로벌 물류네트워크가 중국을 중심으로 재편되고 있다. 중국의 동북3성(랴오닝성, 지린성, 헤이룽장성)은 중국의 동북부, 동북아 지역의 중심지대에 위치해 있으며, 한반도와 국경을 맞대고 있어 국제무역의 발전에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 그러나 동북3성은 지리적 환경의 제약으로 물류환경이 열악한 상태이며, 중국 동북부에 위치한 지린성과 헤이룽장성은 항구가 없는 내륙지역으로 두 성은 대외거래화물의 대부분을 랴오닝의 다롄항을 이용하고 있다. 그러나 두 성으로부터 다롄항까지는 거의 1,000km이상 되기 때문에 많은 운송시간과 비용이 들고 있다. 따라서 러시아 극동지역에 위치한 자루비노항을 통한 새로운 국제운송모델은 내륙운송에서 발생하는 비용을 절감시켜 줄 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수송 단계별 비용과 시간을 추정하여, 새로운 국제복합운송루트의 경쟁력을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따라, 자루비노항의 개발을 통한 새로운 국제복합운송의 구축은 동북3성의 화물에 경쟁력을 증가시켜 줄 것이며, 또한 우리나라는 극동러시아의 항만개발에 참여할 수 있는 기회를 얻게 될 것이다. 게다가 부산항은 새로운 국제운송루트로부터의 증가하는 물동량의 이익을 얻게 될 것으로 기대된다.

상하이항을 비롯한 북중국 항만이 우리나라 항만을 위협하는 상황으로 전개됨에 따라, 현재 이러한 항만들 사이에서 부산항 및 광향항의 경쟁력을 도모하기 위한 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 연구들은 경쟁력을 도출하고, 그것을 평가하는 데 비중을 두고 있는 반면, 평가된 결과를 토대로 경쟁력 도모를 위한 Critical Point를 명확히 추출한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 즉, 기존의 분석법이 단순히 평가결과를 도출하는 것에 국한된 나머지, 평가결과로부터 평가에 영향을 끼친 항목이 명확히 무엇인지, 평가우위를 차지하기 위해 어떠한 부분을 개선시켜야 하는 지에 대한 해답을 제시하지는 못했다. 결과적으로, 이와 같은 문제는 평가결과로부터 경쟁력에 영향을 미쳤던 핵심 요인을 추출하는 알고리즘이 마련되어 있지 않은 것에 기인한다. 본 연구는 이러한 점에 주목하고, 우리나라 및 상하이 북중국 주요 항만을 대상으로 기존연구의 항만경쟁력 평가결과로부터 퍼지 역관계법을 이용하여 주요 항만의 경쟁력 상승에 영향을 미치는 핵심요인을 추출하고, 간단한 시나리오 분석을 통해 몇 가지 중요한 시사점을 제안하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 한다. 연구결과 부산항은 현 시점에서 무엇보다 역량을 집중해야 할 항목으로 배후지 여건 즉 항만배후지역의 자유무역지대의 활성화가 가장 큰 관건으로 나타났다. 광양항은 주요화물발생지까지의 거리, 효율적인 배후연계 네트워크 등에 역점을 두어야 하는 것으로 나타났다.
