There has been some research in Korea on test collections for evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems. The test collections constructed as an outcome from the research have provided a starting point and opportunities to test Korean IR systems in an objective manner. However, they are well short of the standard practice in the broader IR community in that they are small in their size and usually unbalanced in terms of the characteristics of the documents and the queries (such as the subject domains). In this article, we describe our research effort to alleviate this problem and the resulting test collection, called HANTEC (Hangul TEst Collection). HANTEC is balanced in terms of the subject domains, document lengths, and user types, and currently consists of 120,000 documents divided into three groups: general area, social science area and scienceltechnology area. The 30 queries in the collection are grouped into the same three areas in one dimension and into three distinct user groups in the other dimension.

Objectives The aim of this study is to contribute to the establishment of the Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) policies in future, which is through the assessment to predict the realization by diagnostic subjects. Methods First, we evaluated 8 subjects that were deduced by professionals in 1996 regarding whether or not to be realized in 2013. Second, the governmental and private research projects, reports, articles, domestic patents and products were reviewed and investigated. Third, the Subjects in domestic fields of TKM were investigated on the followings: importance, time of realization, domestic Research and Development level, principal agents and methods for the realization, and hindrance factor on the realization. Results Of the 8 forecasting subjects, one subject was realized, two subjects were partly realized and five subjects were unrealized. Thus, their realization rate was 12.5%. The realized subject is the 'Standard naming of the TKM diagnosis'. Conclusion Continuous researches are necessary to realize the TKM subjects and moreover, professionals should predict new feasible TKM subjects, based on this study.

This research employs the grounded theory approach among various qualitative methodologies in order to reach a deep understanding of both the experiential process that children undergo in block play and the essential meaning of it. The objects of this study are 22 children(female 7, male 15) in a 5-year-old class of K kindergarten at Guro district, Seoul. The result of this research shows that first, children take pleasure in block play because of the delight and sense of accomplishment in building, the joy in demolishing, and the happiness of embracing the world through dramatic play with building structures. Second, the characteristics of children's block play are popular subject of the play, decision of the subject, impromptu transformation and elaboration of building structures, and flow of the play according to friend/non-friend relationship. Third, the implicit rules shared by children have more significant influences upon the block play than the agreed rules at the beginning of semester.

As the annual growth rate of port handling container volume in Korea has faced slowdown, this paper attempts to find strategies for the domestic container terminal operators in order to enhance competitiveness. For this, the model of using AHP and the fuzzy set theory is used for evaluating competitiveness between domestic and global container terminal operators. The evaluation model hierarchy is developed based on SERM(subject-environment-resource-mechanism) theory of business strategy. The results show domestic operators are ranked lower than global player so that they particularly pay attention to the areas of scale of economy, business diversification, and globalization strategy.

Interest in creativity and fusion in education has led to a lot of research on integrated education. Most of those research were related to integrated education model and educational contents development, so there were insufficient research on planning a course for integrated education. In this study, we developed an integrated education framework as an guidance for teachers on how to plan a course for integrated education. With this, we analyzed successful cases of integrated education. In the result of analysis, we figured out the relations and characteristics between three course types of subjects and four participation types of teachers. On the findings, we suggested an integrated education framework composed of four stages focused on course plan and proposed some considerations for each stage.

Purpose : We try to disclose how much the keywords of the papers from the Korean Journal of Emergency Medical Services with Medical Subject Headings(MeSH) terminologies and to understand the major subjects of the recent emergency medical technology research in Korea from keywords. Methods : We analyzed keywords from 524 articles of the Korean Journal of Emergency Medical Services that were published between 2005 and 2011. We investigated frequently used keywords and what percentages of keywords agree with MeSH terms using the MeSH browser. Results : There were on average 3.2 keywords per article. The most frequent key words were AED, Attitude, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, CPR, EMT, EMT students, External Defibrillator, Job satisfaction, Knowledge, 119 EMT in order. The number of terms in precise agreement with MeSH headings was 101(19.3%); 327 terms(62.4%) were not found in the MeSH browser and 96 terms(18.3%) partially matched MeSH terms. Conclusion : Many keywords used in the Korean Journal of Emergency Medical Services did not agree with MeSH terms. We conclude that contribution rules should be using MeSH terms and authors should be educated in the proper use of MeSH terms in their research and subsequent publication.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) approach on the spasticity of affected side in patients with hemiplegia. Three subjects with hemiplegia participated in this study. In single-subject research design (a multiple baseline across individuals) was employed in this study. The intervention program including PNF to the unaffected side was introduced for 30 minutes each day during each intervention phase. Muscle tone of affected side was measured with Tone Assessment Scale, and active hip abduction distance of affected side was taken with the subject supine. And then the muscle tone and the hip abduction distance were measured again 30 minutes later following the intervention. The results showed that the PNF application had some beneficial effects on both muscle tone and active hip abduction. This result suggest that PNF application to non-paretic limb can be effective in reducing muscle tone and improving hip abduction range on paretic limb in persons with hemiplegia. However, further research is needed to prove the effect of PNF application on functional improvement.

Background: With the increasing elderly population, the need for gait analysis of these elderly individuals is also increasing. Most devices are costly and not portable; however, smartphones using built-in sensors capable of measuring motion and are easily available. Objectives: To examine the reliability and validity of knee joint angles of the elderly using smartphone measurements during walking. Design: Quasi-experimental research. Methods: Sixteen elderly people, aged 65+ and living in Daejeon and Chungbuk, South Korea, participated in the study. Electrogoniometers and smartphones were attached to the thigh and the side and front of the shank of each subject, respectively, using double-sided tape, an arm band, and an elastic band. Each subject completed two sets of at least seven gait cycles (14 steps). Results: Both the smartphones and electrogoniometers exhibited high agreement in terms of their primary and secondary measurements (ICC>.75). The agreement between the smartphones and electrogoniometers was also high in terms of both the primary and secondary measurements (ICC<.60). Conclusion: These results indicate that smartphones can be costly equipment cannot, even though they cannot completely replace existing clinical-grade devices. Their utility is emphasized herein for measuring knee joint angles of the elderly during walking.

The purpose of this study was to test effect of STS instruction using the subject matter of marine life on middle school students' perception of ocean. The objects of 156 students were sampled from the 1st grade of a middle school and were divided into an experimental group and a control group. 79 students of the control group were treated with traditional instruction, while 77 students of the experimental group were treated with STS instruction materials. All of the students took test of perception of ocean before and after the instructions. The perception of ocean was divided into four categories; value of sea, development of marine resources, research and conservation of sea, and perception of sea-related vocation. The results of the pretest and the posttest indicated that the perception of ocean of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group. Specially in categories of the value of sea and the research and conservation of sea, the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group.
