The purpose of this study was to analyze the recognition of 20s~30s' young people in marathon activities using Q methodology. P-sample was composed of 30 young marathoners. The selected Q samples were arranged in the normal distribution form. The collected data were analyzed by factor analysis through varimax rotation using QUANL 1.2PC program. Three distinct were emerged throughout the analysis: the first type is 'the type of giving special meaning.' which is improving their physical fitness, healthy and enjoying runner's high. The second type is 'the enjoying leisure' which is releasing stress and enjoying their common interest.' The last type is 'the type of enjoying crew activity.' which is enjoying marathon festival and managed their healthy and life. This result hints that young marathoners' sports culture trends.

The purposes of this research are to identify the subjective perception type of science and engineering graduates about good university and to analyze the differences of their undergraduates' experiences among types. Using Q methodology, 29 statements about a good university, reflecting on the previous research as well as quality assurance criteria in higher education, were administered to 16 science and engineering graduates for ranking using a Q-sort procedure. As a result 16 graduates were classified into three types according to their preference for 29 statements. Type 1, oriented student experience, recognized that a good university encourages students to participate in various activities and experiences. Type 2, oriented institutional outcomes, recognized that a good university is ranked high in criteria such as employment rate, research outcome, and entrance exam scores etc. Type 3, oriented educational activity, recognized that a good university is regarded as a community focusing on teaching and learning. Finally, considering the finding of the research, some pedagogical and administrational implications were suggested for quality improvement in higher education.

This study focuses on drivers' risk perception & construct in risk scene. The measures used were the scores of hazard perception, namely the subjects' evaluation of the degree of risk through the 'Q-sorting' with 30 drivers. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to their evaluating score, Z-score, road users' hazard(type 1), environmental hazard(type 2), situational hazard(type 3). And ten constructs derived from Q-sorting were compared through 'consensus item analysis'. It suggest that there are different in constructs for risk perception. Then those results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implication of traffic safety including accidents analysis and drivers' education.

This research was attempted to understand the types of the subjectivities possessed by the individuals regarding the management of the health of the skin on the part of the female university students by applying the Q-methodology and to comparatively analyze the special features. Regarding the subjects of the research, 41 female university students at one university were made into the P-samples. And, by selecting 34 Q-samples from the total of 141 Q-populations, the forced distribution took place in terms of the 9-points scale. The subjects were interviewed, and the contents regarding interviews were recorded. The data were analyzed with the QUANL program. As a result of the research, the 4 types were discovered. They appeared as 'the professional knowledge pursuing type', who consider the expertise regarding the skin management important, 'the nature-oriented type', who express the importance of the skin rather than the functional, cosmetic products, 'the active self- management type', who pursue the highly-functional cosmetic products and the active skin management, and 'the self-ostentation type', who consider the external parts, rather than the health, important. As a result, based on the results of this research, the special characteristics by each type regarding the skin health management of the female university students must be understood, and a differentiated educational method or approach method for the skin health management resulting this must be considered.

In this paper, we propose a signal generation method of rectangular QAM for rotationally invariant I/Q TCM. The proposed method consists of only digital logic gates without look-up table so that we can implement the system compactly. Our scheme can be applied to every rectangular QAM with the level higher than 64.

본 논문은 현재 고성능 가역압축 부호화의 표준이 되는 JPEG-LS의 예측오차에 대한 확률분포를 결정하는 컨텍스트 모델링(context modelling)에서 컨텍스트 정수의 결정 방법에 관해 기술한다. 먼저, 압축률 향상을 위해 낮은 대비(low contrast)를 적용하는 전처리 과정을 도입한다. 둘째로, 낮은 복잡도(low complexity)를 위해 주목화소와 주변화소 사이의 차분을 양자화하고, 그 값 Q$_1$,Q$_2$, Q$_3$로부터 컨텍스트 정수(Q)의 결정을 위해 우선 순위를 정한 후, 3차원 가상좌표 위로의 할당을 고려한다. 또한, 제안 방법과 JPEG-LS의 near-lossless부분을 비교하여, 다양한 영상에 대하여 적용시켜 본 결과, 제안한 방법의 압축률과 손실이득이 훨씬 좋음을 보인다.

Purpose The lung segment ratio which is obtained through quantitative analyses of lung perfusion scan images is calculated to evaluate the lung function pre and post surgery. In this Study, the planar image production methods by using Q-Metrix (GE Healthcare, USA) program capable of not only quantitative analysis but also computation of the segment ratio after having performed SPECT/CT are comparatively evaluated. Materials and Methods Lung perfusion scan and SPECT/CT were performed on 50 lung cancer patients prior to surgery who visited our hospital from May 1, 2015 to September 13, 2016 by using Discovery 670(GE Healthcare, USA) equipment. AP(Anterior Posterior)method that uses planar image divided the frontal and rear images into three rectangular portions by means of ROI tool while PO(Posterior Oblique)method computed the segment ratio by dividing the right lobe into three parts and the left lobe into two parts on the oblique image. Segment ratio was computed by setting the ROI and VOI in the CT image by using Q-Metrix program and statistically analysis was performed with SPSS Ver. 23. Results Regarding the correlation concordance rate of Q-Metrix and AP methods, RUL(Right upper lobe), RML(Right middle lobe) and RLL(Right lower lobe) were 0.224, 0.035 and 0.447. LUL(Left upper lobe) and LLL(Left lower lobe) were found to be 0.643 and 0.456, respectively. In the PO method, the right lobe were 0.663, 0.623 and 0.702, respectively, while the left lobe were 0.754 and 0.823. When comparison was made by using the Paired sample T-test, Right lobe were $11.6{\pm}4.5$, $26.9{\pm}6.2$ and $17.8{\pm}4.2$, respectively in the AP method. Left lobe were $28.4{\pm}4.8$ and $15.4{\pm}5.6$. The right lobe of PO had values of $17.4{\pm}5.0$, $10.5{\pm}3.6$ and $27.3{\pm}6.0$, while the left lobe had values of $21.6{\pm}4.8$ and $23.1{\pm}6.6$, thereby having statistically significant difference in comparison to the Q-Metrix method for each of the lobes (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in Right middle lobe (P>0.05). Conclusion The AP method showed low concordance rate in correlation with the Q-Metrix method. However, PO method displayed high concordance rate overall. although AP method had significant differences in all lobes, there was no significant difference in Right middle lobe of PO method. Therefore, at the time of production of lung perfusion scan results, utilization of Q-Metrix method of SPECT/CT would be useful in computation of accurate resultant values. Moreover, it is deemed possible to expect obtain more practical sectional computation result values by using PO method at the time of planar image acquisition.

A theoretical analysis of the impact of rise time of a Q-switch on the output pulse performance is carried out in an Ytterbium-doped actively Q-switched fiber laser. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to numerically simulate the Q-switched fiber laser. It is shown that stable Gaussian-like pulse shape can be generated when the Q-switch rise time is increased and pulse repetition rate is enlarged.

From 329 earthquake data in the Korean Peninsula, we separated the intrinsic and scattering quality factor ($Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$) using the Multiple Lapse Time Window Analysis (MLTW) method. For the homogeneous velocity structure, $Q_i^{-1}$ reduces the amplitudes of both direct and coda waves; $Q_s^{-1}$ diminishes the direct wave amplitude but enlarges the coda wave amplitude. Based on this phenomenon, MLTW method analytically derives theoretical curves and obtains $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ by least square fit with observation curves. This study is the first approach for the seismic stable region by MLTW method, and show that $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ in the Korean Peninsula are very low at lower than frequencies of 5 Hz. This low value seems to be related to the inactive tectonism of the Korean Peninsula.
