The purpose of this study is to investigate the realities of the husband's violence, to develop a scale to identify women who are victims of wife abuse and to provide evidence of the scale's validity. The Instrument entitled the Wife Abuse Inventory (WAI) and conflict Tactics Scale(CTS), are administered to 511 women who lives in Taegu area. The main results are as follows; 1) The CTS analysis shows the 42.5% of the sampled house wives are suffered minor violence and 9/0% are suffered violence form husband. 2) The WAI is factor analyzed to examine factor components within the scale. An examination of the rotated solutions suggested that WAI is composed 10 factors. These factor is labeled men's conception of supremency and aggression propensity, communication, economic difficulties and frustration, social activities, jealousy, children rearing, intimacy, family relationships in laws , affection, difference of culture. 3) an analysis of variance show the group mean score of the violence group and the mean score of the non-violence group on the WAI to be significantly different(P<.001). A discriminant analysis produce a significant discriminant function (P<.001). Using WAI scores as the discriminating variable, 81,15% of the violence and non-violence subjects are classified into their appropriate groups. This finding indicates that the WAI is a reliable device for screening violence and nonviolence group.

Much of the conceptual work in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) originated from studies that were conducted in general corporations; however, many issues were peculiar to the area of fashion brand social responsibility. The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to measure the social responsibility of fashion brands in order to establish a specific, scientifically based marketing strategy. Through a literature review that disclosed 59 items regarding CSR and results from focus group interviews and exploratory factor analyses, we developed 23 items pertaining to fashion brand social responsibility. The measurement items were organized into five dimensions: economic, legal, ethical, environmental, and philanthropic responsibility. We found the 23-item scale to have good reliability and validity. We also found that fashion brand social responsibility positively influenced brand loyalty, including repurchase intention, continuance intention, and word of mouth. Thus, strategic planning for social responsibility in regards to fashion brands is essential in order to secure loyal customers, for both domestic and foreign brands compete in the fashion market.

The system dynamics is a systematic method supplemented by the decision making Process of management to the numerical and theoretical analyses in the field of the operation research or the industrial engineering. The system dyamics seems to be one of the most useful mathematical methods for forecasting the future social system or for evaluating the alternative plans. Land-use/transportation system dynamics model is constructed from the urban activity generation model based on the economic base hyphothesis using the DYNAMO simulation language. The model was applied to Daegu city and showed the validity.

Purpose of this paper is to review series of Limits to Growth studies from its original Rome Club Report published in 1972 to the most recent one in 2012 by Jorgen Randers and finds its implications on concept and strategy of sustainable development. For this purpose first, this paper reviewed series of Limits to Growth studies in details with focus on scenarios used in simulation of world model. Second, response to the original Limit to Growth was reviewed and to see validity of its scenario based simulations, simulated results of interest variables and actual historical data up to the year 2010 was compared. Third, structure and key arguments in both studies, Limit to Growth studies and Our Common Future was explained and compared. Finally, implications of the Limit to Growth studies on concept and strategy for sustainable development was discussed. Based on the comparison, this paper argued that even if the term sustainable development was not used in the Limit to Growth at all, concept and strategies for sustainable development implied in the Limit to Growth are more clear and specific than those of Our Common Future. Since Limit to Growth studies were simulation based ones that produce detailed behaviors on interest variables, it clarifies more clearly the abstract concept of sustainable development and thus, provides specific guidelines for the direction of sustainable policy which has been suffering long from vagueness of concept of sustainable development.

At the "Dissemination Stage", the newly configured technical design is compared with other alternatives to come up with the most desirable selection. The assessment conducted at this stage is not a simple procedure. It goes through the complex evaluation process in which various elements including economic effects and technical characteristics are considered. The reason for taking such a complex procedure is that the assessment, selection and application of the desirable technical alternative is critical for the company's competitive edge in every field of industrial sectors, thus influencing its survival and continuous growth. This study reviews the MAUT method for assessing technical alternatives of the thermal supply system design. And, to show the practical validity of the MAUT method, it is applied to the evaluation of thermal supply system alternatives in the field of energy supply system technology.

Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV), an aphid-borne luteovirus, is a major plant pathogenic disease causing a huge economic loss in the grain production of a wide range of Gramineae species throughout the world. It has been recently reported that BYDV also occurred frequently in wheat field of Korea. Here, we performed to develop the detection and classification methods of BYDV strains that were accomplished by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Since there are high variations among BYDV strains, three pairs of primers were designed to detect BYDV strains such as PAV (Vic-PAV and CN-PAV) and MAV (primer A) simultaneously, specifically Vic-PAV(primer B), and MAV (primer C) based on the genomic RNA sequences of BYDV strains previously published. The validity of the primers was confirmed using several BYDV strains obtained from CIMMYT. Though three BYDV strains were able to be detected using primer A, PCR products were not distinguished between two PAV strains. It was possible to separate them with a restriction enzyme, EcoRI, whose restriction site was present in the amplified DNA fragment from Vic-PAV, but not from CN-PAV.

In a route plan, the route selection is a complicated problem to consider the spatial distribution and influence through overall related data and objective analysis on the social, economic and technical condition. The developed system in this study was compared and estimated by deciding a practical section for its validity and efficiency. Using Geographic Information System (GIS), the various information required for route selections in database was constructed, the characteristics of subject area by executing three-dimensional terrain analysis was grasped effectively, and the control point through buffering, overlay and location operation was extracted. An optimum route was selected by calculating the sum of alternatives to the sub-criteria weight, and from this result, there is a difference between real route and proposed route according to the prioritization of decision criteria based on the importance. This research could be constructed and applied geospatial information to the reasonable route plan and an optimum route selection efficiently using GIS. Therefore, the applications are presented by applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to the decision-making of information needed in route selection.

This study aims at the extraction of what is universally to be taught in modern Korean Families and its scalization. That is it attempts to provide the criterion by which we can determine what to teach children in the family not in society or school. For this purpose this study firstly reviews the preceeding studies on the subject. As a result of the review we postulate the hypothetical structure consisting of 12 domains. Secdndly we gather the parent's view on the topic by interviewing 192 parents of the students. On the basis of this study we can construct the questionnaire(Likert scale; 5 point) After we conduct an extensive empirical research(518 parents) in order to generalize 179 items of the worked-out questionnaire. We apply factor analsis(principal axis factoring oblique (promax) rotation) in the verfication of the validity. As the consequence we select 87 items consisting 15 factors which explain 71% of common variance. We name the 15 educational factors extracted in the scale as follows; Values & Sociality Training for basic living habits The maintenance of the culture life on the family Religious life Learning guide Economic life Patriotism Independent living Table manners The management of commodity The preservation of family unity Sex & a Frendship with the opposite sex Esteem for a traditional way of life Respect for the Old Filial piety. The reliabiliy of the scale is the cronbach a=.96 which turns out to be satisfactory.

Since first introduced on July 1974, consolidated financial statements had been concluded or not depending on decision-makings by companies. But the Securities and Exchange Law as revised on April 1992 specified that any listed corporation must add consolidated financial statements and their auditor's opinion to its business report. foreign-based corporations became subject to the conclusion of the sheets and equity method from the time of business closing on Dec. 1995. Now all of domestic and foreign-based corporations, whether they are controlling or controlled businesses, are subject to consolidated financial statements. Business bankruptcies and restructuring under the economic crisis since the late 1997 raised the necessity of the increased reliability and transparency of consolidated accounting information and significantly changed contents of consolidated audit report. An analysis over the past three years shows that auditor's opinions about consolidated financial sheets are mostly qualified opinions whose proportion is being gradually decreased, while rejected opinions are annually increasing in proportion. When compared to the year of 1998, the numbers of those controlled businesses, and companies under the equity method were all decreased, but rather increased when determined on the basis of such numbers per a corporation. This suggests that corporations are promoting business diversification through business separation and share acquisition and advancing into foreign markets as well as domestic ones. Especially, special contents included in consolidated auditing report show a tendency to increase annually. Based on all these findings, the strengthening of accounting regulation will lead to providing more reliable information related to auditor's opinion about consolidated financial statements and raising the information effectiveness and validity of the statements as publicly notified.
