Objectives: This study examined the trends in gender disparity in the self-rated health of people aged 25 to 64 in South Korea, a rapidly changing society, with specific attention to socio-structural inequality. Methods: Representative sample data were obtained from six successive, nationwide Social Statistics Surveys of the Korean National Statistical Office performed during 1992 to 2010. Results: The results showed a convergent trend in poor self-rated health between genders since 1992, with a sharper decline in gender disparity observed in younger adults (aged 25 to 44) than in older adults (aged 45 to 64). The diminishing gender gap seemed to be attributable to an increase in women;s educational attainment levels and to their higher status in the labor market. Conclusions: The study indicated the importance of equitable social opportunities for both genders for understanding the historical trends in the gender gap in the self-reported health data from South Korea.

Recently, many of organizations build up their performance measurement system (PMS) to measure their knowledge management performance. However, the system that doesn't well reflect the organization's strategies as well as surroundings could obstruct their performance improvement, instead. Therefore, It is really important to establish the PMS to reflect organization's surroundings and strategies. The purpose of this study is to make a diagnosis of a performance measurement practice of a domestic university's knowledge management. To serve this research purpose, we examine the uptight performance index and PMS from existing references. And we diagnose the specific practices and maturity rates of measuring performances, and the recognition of the performance index at "D" university recently adopting balanced scorecard to performance evaluation through the survey on academic affairs committee members, performance evaluation committee members, and administration members. The method analyzing data from the survey is a gap analysis which includes alignment analysis, congruence analysis, consensus analysis, and confusion analysis. We make a diagnosis of performance measurement practices at "D" university, raise several points of this performance measurement system, and present the improvement plans from these problems.

In order to estimate delivered nutrients load from non-point sources in the Gap stream watershed in Daejeon, a distributed watershed model SWAT2000 was used so that it could predict the impact of land management practices on water, sediments and chemicals yields in large complex watersheds with varing soils, land uses and management condition over long period of time. The SWAT2000 was applied to the Daejeon (Indong), Yudeung (Boksu) and Gap (Hoeduck) streams for TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) of nutrients. The observed water quality and streamflow data of the year of 2002 and 2003 were used for calibration, and those of the year 2004 and 2005 were used for validation. Simulated results were evaluated by Estimation Efficiency Analysis (COE), Regression Analysis $(R^2)$ and Relative Error (R.E.) for the nutrients amounts on the monthly and yearly basis by comparing observed load with estimated load obtained by using SWAT2000 simulations. The COE value fur T-N was ranged from 0.59 to 0.78, $R^2$ values for T-N ranged from 0.65 to 0.84, and R.E values fur T-N load ranged from 4% to 20%. COE value far T-N was ranged from 0.59 to 0.73, $R^2$ values for T-P ranged from 0.67 to 0.82, and R.E values for T-P load ranged from 3% to 25%. Estimated results of SWAT2000 simulation for 3 sites (Indong, Boksu, Hoedeok) were reasonably satisfactory. This study indicated that SWAT2000 model could be applicable to estimate the nutrients load from the Gap stream watershed in Korea.

Nucleate pool boiling of water in vertical annuli at atmospheric pressure has been studied experimentally and two empirical correlations have been suggested to obtain effects of geometric parameters on heat transfer. Data of the present and the previous tests range over a tube length of 0.50-0.57 m, a diameter of 16.5-34.0 mm, and an annular gap size of 3.7-44.3 mm. Through the analysis, tube bottom confinement (open or closed) has been investigated, as well. The developed correlations predict experimental data within a ${\pm}25%$ error bound. It has been identified that effects of the diameter and the length of heated tubes as well as the annular gap size should be counted into the analyses to estimate heat transfer coefficients accurately.

The ability to customize garments for fit in the apparel industry is directly tied to the availability of comprehensive and accurate sets of anthropometrical data for each consumer. The data for apparel sizing systems is available from three major standard/ research organizations: ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), ISO (International Standard Organization), and NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics). However, these standards ignore various head shapes and are outdated for the development future head products. This creates a data gap an ever changing multi-cultural society such as the United Sates. Although major government and industry safety organizations recognize the importance of safety for head products, few studies were found to support their reasoning. The purpose of this study is to provide accurate head dimension data for developing safety head products by analyzing various head shapes in the United Sates which includes various ethnic backgrounds. This study was carried out on 105 males in the United States. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, Moreover, Duncan analysis were all used for analyzing various head shapes.

Purpose - The distribution of agricultural products is changing due to recent shifts in environmental free trade. Specifically, the competitiveness of domestic agricultural products has weakened as a result of the Korea-China Financial Trade Agreement. Agricultural producers are faced with increasing difficulties and organized production centers are growing in importance daily. To overcome this crisis, agricultural producer organizations are vying for environment-friendly agricultural certifications, Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP). In particular, as consumer demand for higher safety grows, farmers are increasing their certification rates. Therefore, this certification system is expected to help strengthen the competitiveness of agricultural producer organizations. Research design/data/methodology - Organized production centers are classified by certification. A survey was conducted with 91 organizations using factor analysis and logistic regression analysis for the examination. The factor analysis results are as follows. Raw material procurement, education·specialization, marketing, joint business, organizing ability, business management, effectiveness, certification, and larger organizations were classified as the nine types of factors. These factors affect the organized production centers and are used in the logistic regression analysis. The purpose of such research and analysis is to suggest a direction for future production center policies. Results - The basic statistical results are as follows: analysis of the producer organizations of 91 sites, average number of members per site of 1,624, and average sales of 25,961 million won. Additionally, the average income per farmer is 175 million won, and the pooling system rate is 53.5%. The factor analysis results are as follows. Factor 1 consists of contract cultivation, ongoing shipment, selection subdivision, traceability, and major retailer management. Factor 2 consists of manual cultivation, specialty selection, education program, and R&D. Factor 3 consists of advertising, various dealers, various sales strategies, and a unified sales counter. Factor 4 consists of agricultural materials co-purchase, policy support, co-shipment, and incentives. Factor 5 consists of the co-selection and pooling system. Factor 6 consists of co-branding and operating by the organization's article. Factor 7 consists of the buy-sell ratio and rate of operation of the agriculture promotion center. Factor 8 consists of bargaining power in volume and participation rate of farmer certification. Factor 9 consists of increasing new subscribers. The logistic regression analysis results are as follows. Considering the results by type of certification, the environment-friendly agricultural certification type and the GAP certification type have a (+) influence. GAP and HACCP certification types affecting the education·specialization factor have a (+) influence. Considering the results for each type of certification, the environment-friendly agricultural certification types on the effectiveness factor have (-) influence; the HACCP certification types on the organizing ability and effectiveness factor have a (-) influence. Conclusions - Agricultural producer organizations should develop plans as follows: The organizations need to secure education for agricultural production; increase the pooling system ratio for sustainable organizational development; and, finally, expand the number of agricultural producer organizations.

This study was carried out to minimize the lifting force and to design the slim sized frame of a height adjustment mechanism. This unit is designed for the display devices in order to enhance the ergonomics for effective height adjustment as well as to achieve much slimmer frame for the pedestal. A tolerance analysis of 6 sigma was applied to achieve smooth lift at design stage not to change the tolerance specification of gap several times in a roller type of lifting mechanism at mass production stage. The specification of minimum gap and the target of production yield ratio were agreed with a quality team before tooling. A DFSS simulation on drawings had been done with reasonable tolerance and achievable standard deviation(${\sigma}$) several times until the target specification of gap and yield ratio was met. Once tolerance and deviation(${\sigma}$) were fixed tooling start was done successfully. A CAE method was applied to achieve a slim design. Design parameters were frozen when those parameters matched the reference strength data of standard model. Through those tolerance analysis and CAE simulation the number of tool modification was reduced and production yield ratio was raised up without arguing quality specification at production stage in the end.

본 연구에서는 TIMSS 수학 평가에서 이전 주기 초등학교 4학년이 다음 주기 중학교 2학년이 된다는 점을 감안하여 초등학교 4학년에서 중학교 2학년으로 학교급이 전환됨에 따라 학생들의 학업성취가 어떻게 변하는지를 분석하였다. 특히 TIMSS 수학 평가 주요 8개국(우리나라, 싱가포르, 대만, 일본, 미국, 영국, 호주, 러시아 연방)을 선정하여 비교함으로써 학교급 전환에 따른 우리나라 학생들의 학업성취 변화 추이를 분석하였다. 또 학생들의 학업성취 변화 추이는 전체뿐만 아니라 내용 영역(수, 도형과 측정(기하), 자료 표현(자료와 가능성/자료와 확률), 성별, 지역 규모 등에 걸쳐 분석하였고, 학업성취도 평균과 성취수준별 학생 비율을 중심으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 첫째, 학교급이 전환됨에 따라 우리나라 학생들의 학업성취도 평균에는 큰 변화가 없으나 성취수준별 비율에서 학업성취 격차가 심화되었다. 둘째, 학교급 전환에 따라 내용영역별 학생들의 학업성취에 차이가 있었으며, 평가 주기에 따라 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. 셋째, 성별이나 학교 소재지의 지역 규모에 따라 학생들의 수학 학업성취 격차가 크게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 학생들의 학업성취 격차가 학교급 전환에 따라 심화되었으며, 학업성취도의 성취수준, 수학의 내용영역, 학생의 성별 및 학교 소재지에 따라 다양하게 나타나고 있음을 밝혔다. 이러한 격차를 완화하기 위해 국가나 시도교육청의 정책 실행 이외에 좀더 내실 있는 연구와 지원을 제안한다.

본 연구는 환경부 보호종으로 지정된 삵을 대상으로 다양한 단위면적의 격자 및 유역을 평가단위로 설정하여 충청도 지역의 서식지 적합성 평가를 실시하기 위해 수행되었다. 이미 선진국에서는 GAP(Gap Analysis Program), 서식지 평가절차 및 서식지 적합성지수의 활용 등을 통해 종의 보전을 위한 서식지 평가 및 관리정책을 수립하고 있는 상황이며, 국내에서도 서식지 보전을 위한 다양한 평가방법들이 제안되고 있다. 그러나 국내 연구들은 아직 평가단위에 대한 고찰이 부족하고 분석 결과를 광범위하게 적용하는데도 문제가 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 표고, 경사, 산림, 토지피복, 도로, 하천 등의 환경변수를 로지스틱 회귀모형을 활용하여 유역단위와 격자단위별로 서식지 적합성 평가를 실시하였다. 또한, 이 결과를 비교하여 광역적인 지역단위에 적합한 서식지 적합성 평가단위를 확인하였다. 평가 결과, 종의 발견지점 자체에 대한 환경인자 평가보다 주변의 일정 면적을 함께 고려하여 서식지를 평가하는 것이 적합하며, 그 단위면적은 격자단위 평가의 경우 반경 100m 유역단위의 경우 $1km^2$가 삵의 서식지 적합성을 평가하는데 가장 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 기존의 서식지 보전을 위한 다양한 보전지역 선정 방법을 보완할 수 있는 방법론을 제안하고 있으며, 이 결과는 전국적으로 보전가치가 높은 종의 보전을 위한 관리정책에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
