Product liability is an important regulation factor in automotive industry. ISO 26262 international standard was established as an exemption clause of product liability. In autonomous car, product liability becomes more important, and ISO/PAS international standard was additionally established, but it can be applied to only sensing stage, which can partly make the autonomous car companies exempt the product liability but not completely. Therefore, reform of current legal system is absolutely necessary to commercialize autonomous car until a new international standard is established as a complete exemptions clause.

China power market is fast changing. The strong economic growth does make BOT power projects to be one of the focuses for investment in China due to the huge demand for energy by the Chinese government. Since late 80's,various power projects BOT studies have been carried out but appear too fragmented which fail to linked the BOT studies to the most recent government policies' changes or market movement. This study has carried out analysis on the recent changes in China power industry reform and local government authority empowerment. The impact of those changes to BOT investment has been identified and recommendations have been made on the new opportunities and new strategies especially from the Singapore's investors' point of view. A case study on BOT hydropower plant has been presented which could be a suitable model for Singapore investors.

This research explores the fall of pre-independence Sultanates and its continued political, economic, and cultural influence in post-colonial Indonesia. By using qualitative and historical methods, this paper compares the Sultanates of Mataram in Yogyakarta and Al-Kadrie in Pontianak, which represent different historical paths supporting the struggle for independence during the mid-20th century. Sultan Hamid II of the Al-Kadrie was a supporter of federalism whereas Sultan Hamengkubowono IX of Yogyakarta was an advocate of the republican system. Eventually, Indonesia became a Republic, and the idea of federalism was sidelined, which led to the abolition of sultanates in the rise of the = Indonesian nation-state, except for the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. After the 1998 Reform, the current development of democracy created political opportunities for the Al-Kadrie to reclaim its authority through engagement with various civic organizations. Meanwhile, the Sultanate of Yogyakarta faces internal friction because of succession concerns.

Recent international reform movements call for attention on modeling in mathematics classrooms. However, definitions and enactment principles are unclear in policy documents. In this case study, we investigated United States high-school mathematics teachers' experiences in a professional development program focused on modeling and its enactment in schools. Our findings share teachers' experiences around their discovery of different conceptualizations, appreciations, and conflicts as they envisioned incorporating modeling into classrooms. These experiences show how professional development can be designed to engage teachers with forms of modeling, and that those experiences can inspire them to consider modeling as an imperative feature of a mathematics program.

A vertebrate retina is an organ belonging to the central nerve system (CNS), and is usually difficult to regenerate except at an embryonic stage in life. However, certain species of urodele amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, possess the ability to regenerate a functional retina from retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells even as adults. After surgical removal of neural retinas from adult newt eyes, the remaining RPE cells lose their pigment granules, transdifferentiate into retinal progenitor cells, which further differentiate into various retinal neurons, and then finally reform a functional neural network. To understand the molecular mechanisms of CNS regeneration, we attempted to investigate the genes expressing in regenerating newt retina. mRNAs were isolated from regenerating retinas at 18-19 days after the surgical removal of the normal retina, and a cDNA library (regenerating retinal cDNA library) were constructed. Our EST analysis of 112 clones in the regenerating cDNA library revealed that about 70% clones are closely related to the genes previously identified. About 40% clones are housekeeping genes, and about 15% clones encode proteins related to the regulation of gene expression and to the proliferation of the cells. Sequences similar to neural retina- and RPE-specific genes were not detected at all. These results led us to suppose that the regenerating retinal cells are in a state considerably different from those of neither neural retina nor RPE cells.

The objective of this study is to develop new entrepreneurship education program and to enhance the program by applying new program. First, this paper examined domestic studies for preceding research on entrepreneurship education, and did foreign studies as theoretical background based on the examination. And this paper drew new models for entrepreneurship education program by analyzing education program from American and Japanese graduate school of entrepreneurship. The model of entrepreneurship education program was drawn by theoretical range, educational system and practical model, and presented reform measures by applying that on the Graduate School of Entrepreneurship. The range of entrepreneurship education program is defined from the moment when an entrepreneur decided to his entrepreneurship to initial growth stage, and should educate specific knowledge required to the development of companies and measures against potential problems on the way to growth it. An entrepreneurship training program should be organized curriculum by the growth stages of company.

University entrance for technical high school students in Japan is politically promoted from a viewpoint of lifelong learning. Therefore, the Japanese universities (faculty of engineering) are pressed on the necessity of making the reform for educational methods which are based on the premise of systematic study from high school to university. In Nagasaki University, the special entrance of students who were graduated from technical high school was started from 1995. Now, we are strengthening basic academic ability for them by developmental (remedial) education under a new educational-learning model called "engineering power" cultivation. We are promoting the examination of the instructional method and the development of teaching-materials, which become adequate to the student's actual condition, with technical high school teachers and the professors of our university through the observing of student's learning process and their lesson.

The purpose of this study is to examine what is the path that family and socio-environmental factors of adolescents lead to school dropout called educational crisis behavior. To investigate these research problems, the path was analyzed on the basis of the related data and variations after interview with 120 crisis adolescents in 'J Youth Counseling Center' in Jeon-ju City. By the results of this analysis, the family ties as a familial factor and the deviation friends as a socio-environmental factor had an effect on adolescents' school dropout behavior. These results indicate the need to reform the interpersonal relationship in family and school friends for preventing and solving the adolescents' crisis behavior such as school dropout behavior.

Historically, the use of algorithms has been emphasized in the mathematics curriculum at the elementary school mathematics. The current reform movement in our country are seemed to emphasize the importance of algorithms in favor of problem-solving approaches, the conceptualization of mathematical processes and applications of mathematics in real world situations. Recently, children may come to school with a fairly well-developed attitude about mathematics and mathematical ideas. That is, they do not come to school and to learning mathematics with a clean slate. Because they have already formed some partial mathematical concepts in a wide variety of contexts. Many kindergarten children have attended pre-school programs where they played with blocks, made patterns, and started adding and subtracting. It seems that there are psychological change attitudes of the children in upper grades toward learning mathematics. In our elementary school mathematics, almost every student are still math anxious or have developed math anxiety because of paper-pencil test. In these views, this paper is devoted to introduce and apply to second grade students in ND-elementary school in Taegu City the new method for learning addition and subtraction so called ‘Mrs Weill's Hill’, which is believed as a suitable method for children with mathematical teaming disabilities and Math anxiety.
