  • The purpose of this study is to compare the differences of clothing behavior by the level of self-monitoring under given social situations. The result of this study is drown from the analysis of the survey, gathered from the 522 female students of universities reside in Seoul, by using the method of convenience sampling. The statistical methods used to test the data were MANOVA and chi-square test. The results of this study can be summarized s follows; first, as a result of analyzing the differences of situational self-image pursuits among situations depending individual's self-monitoring levels, it was found that the pursuits changes among situations regardless of the self-monitoring levels. Thus, this hypothesis could not be verified. Second, as a result of analyzing the changes of priority of clothing selection factors among situations depending on individual's self-monitoring levels, it was found that the priority factors changed among situations regardless of the self-monitoring levels.

  • Effective energy consumption now becomes one of the area of knowledge management which potentially gives global impact. It is considerable for the energy management to optimize the usage of energy, rather than decreasing energy consumption at any cases. To resolve these challenges, an intelligent and personalized system which helps the individuals control their own behaviors in an optimal and timely manner is needed. So far, however, since the legacy energy management systems are nation-wide or organizational, individual-level energy management is nearly impossible. Moreover, most estimating methods of energy consumption are based on forecasting techniques which tend to risky or analysis models which may not be provided in a timely manner. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a novel individual-level energy management system which aims to realize timely and personalized energy management based on context-aware computing approach. To do so, an index model for energy consumption is proposed with a corresponding service framework.

  • It was assumed that the voice of cattle is generated with the virtual white noise through the digital filter called the linear prediction filter, and filter parameters (prediction coefficients) were estimated by the maximum entropy method (MEM) , using the sound signal of the animal . The feature planes were defined by the pairs of two parameters selected appropriately from these parameters. The cattle voices were divided into three levels, that is the high, medium and low levels according to their total power equivalent to the variances of the sound signal . It was found that the straight lines could be used for recognizing tow cow and one calf for high level voices. For high and medium level voices, however, it was difficult or impossible to recognize individual cattle on the parameters planes.

  • The paper tests the above socio-cognitive model with four empirical case studies of leading Korean science and technology research and technology transfer organizations. The case studies demonstrate clear differences in individuals' frames about the technology transfer process and arising conflicts. As a result, technology transfer process is not fully controllable and is highly contextual. We argue, whereas public policy in countries approaching technology frontier provides essential support for defining and exploiting best practices (routines/pathways) for technology transfer at organizational level, they have not matured enough to support the timely identification and resolution of conflicts between individual actors, hence the inefficiencies. Therefore, among others, public policy for technology transfer could consider allowing an inclusive approach to recognition of best practices for technology transfer and innovation processes, increased social interactions between technology transfer actors, and their training on resolution of individual level cognitive conflicts.

  • Although much research has been conducted to identify the influence of culture on conflict management and resolution behaviours in organizational settings, no study has been done yet in the construction industry particularly in considering the influence of individual level individualistic and collectivistic values. Despite the key role of self-construal in explaining or predicting behaviour in interpersonal conflict, it has not received enough attention in construction management. Reflecting this necessity, the objective of this exploratory study was to establish, through the application of the Rahim Organizational Inventory (ROC II) instrument, how the cultural values of professionals of construction businesses relate to the application of different conflict-handling styles through self-construal. Data were collected using questionnaire surveys from construction professionals working in contracting firms. The findings illustrate the importance of self-construal type as an individual-level cultural variable in explaining the differences in the style of handling interpersonal conflict in the context of the construction industry.

  • The aims of this study were to investigate the covariation between the extent of activity disturbances and general annoyance, and to study the relation between the extent of annoyance reactions and noise sensitivity. This paper presents a description of a model developed by taking into account self-rated noise sensitivity and noise rating(i,e., annoyance) for road traffic. The results indicate that there are large variations in noise sensitivity which is independent on the level of noise. It is also found that the extent of all activity disturbances decreased with decreased general annoyance. The paper suggests a normative approach to predicting individual's reaction to noise exposure, based on a periodically observed relationship between the prevalence of activity disturbance and annoyance. The model also predicts a road traffic-noise adaptatin level for each individual.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the developmental trajectories of adolescents' internalizing problem behaviors. The data came from 3,188 middle school students through their participation in the Korea Youth Panel Survey(KYPS). Adolescents with a high level of internalizing problem behaviors in the first year showed a rapid decline in these behaviors over time, whereas for adolescents with a low level of these behaviors in the first year the decline was slow. The predictors of the developmental trajectories were related to individual variables, such as gender, self-esteem, self-control, stress, self-stigmatization, and academic achievement. The developmental trajectories of adolescents' internalizing problem behaviors were classified into four groups. The predictors of the patterns of developmental trajectories in adolescents' internalizing problem behaviors appeared to be related to individual variables.

  • Recently, due to the airtightness of buildings or the misuse of building materials, we have been witness SHS (Sick House Syndrome) which can have bad influences on the resident in an existing apartment house as well as newly constructed apartment house start to attract public attention. As a result of this situation, we went to restrict the TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compound) and formaldehyde. But these guidelines concentrated on only TVOC although TVOC are consist of many individual VOC. Therefore, in this study, we will look about concentration change of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) by using Mock-up test. As result of test, the concentration of four individual VOC (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Styrene) showed quitely low level after 7 days. On the other hand the concentration of Xylene and formaldehyde showed low level after 14 days.

  • Objective: The aim of this study was to achieve a qualitative understanding of childcare teachers' cooperation experiences with Nuri curriculum teaching assistants. Methods: The study adopted a qualitative research design. Participants comprised 23 childcare teachers working with Nuri curriculum teaching assistants. Focus group interviews were conducted to discuss their cooperation experience with the teaching assistants. Qualitative themes analyses were carried out following individual-level analyses, group-level analyses, and cross-group-comparisons. Results and Conclusion: The results showed that childcare teachers, at first, had low expectation for Nuri curriculum teaching assistants because they have ambiguous job descriptions. However, the teachers' actual interactions exhibited cooperation effects on improving the quality of childcare. Childcare teachers suggested the ways to promote cooperation between childcare teachers and Nuri curriculum teaching assistants at individual and systemic levels.

  • The natural history of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)-deficient knee remains controversial. although numerous investigation have tried to ascertain the course that the knee would follow once the ACL has lost functional integrity. An extensive review of the literature performed according to symptoms. physical examinations, associated surrounding tissue injuries. returns to activity level and radiological changes in the knee joint. An active individual with a non-functioning ACL was susceptible to injury to the menisci and deteriorate the articular cartilage, followed radiographic changes. An activity levels in general also changed after injury. The most common symptom was pain. But instability varied in these individuals. Conclusively we believe that all these factors will eventually, if not initially, result in a symptomatic knee. which will result in significant limitations to the individual's desired level. So we recommend an aggressive approach in person who desired to return to a relatively active life style in young person as well as in middle aged individuals who have significant symptomatic ACL deficient knee.
