  • It is no exaggeration to say that today's world economy is dependent on international trade, which is the result of inter-state transactions. As the vast majority of international goods transport is transported by international shipping, interest in the seaborne transport field is natural in international and trade studies. In particular, in the case of international shipping, as it is the basis of typical international transportation, changes in international shipping due to the innovation of technology may have an effect on international trade norms. In this study, as a result of evaluating port preference in a hypothetical scenario by using the Design of Experiments method, bunkering as well as port service, which is traditionally important, was identified as a major competitive factor of future ports. It has been revealed that, above all, the port to respond to the future is the continued importance of port services and the supply of ship fuel. Therefore, port authorities are providing implications that LNG bunkering infrastructure suitable for international environmental regulations is important.

  • Several studies have attempted to test students' misconceptions of physics and to provide teaching strategies in order to repair them. The results from these studies have revealed that the diagnosis of students' misconception is crucial, although they often failed to grasp the practice of its implementation. In terms of being a type of methodology for science education, the Internet allows large-scale surveys and investigations to be carried out in a relatively short period of time. This paper reports the results of the development, implementation, and evaluation of a WEb-based SYStem for TEsting students' Misconceptions in physics (WEBSYSTEM) aimed at three groups (science educational researchers who study students' physics conceptions using the system as a detector, school science teachers who practice it as an instructional material, and students who benefit from it for their self-directed learning). The web-based testing system is based on a review of the instructional development strategies of ADDIE (Gustafson, Branch, 2002; Rha, Chung, 2001). Results showed that WEBSYSTEM could work effectively as a multi-purposed tool for the three target groups with a further partial revision, providing educational researchers with resourceful data to study students' misconceptions in physics. Issues of administrative strategies, reexamination of questionnaires, and international collaboration via WEBSYSTEM are discussed.

  • This study investigates the increasing prevalence of depression among Korean college students, examining its multifaceted causes, impacts, and potential interventions. Through an extensive literature review, we analyze personal, academic, socioeconomic, and cultural factors contributing to this growing mental health crisis. Our findings reveal a significant upward trend in depression rates, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with unique manifestations including somatic symptoms and achievemen-toriented depression. The research highlights the complex interplay of factors such as academic stress, career anxiety, economic pressures, and cultural expectations that contribute to the high prevalence of depression in this population. We also identify a concerning low rate of help-seeking behavior among affected students, attributed to stigma and limited access to mental health services. The study critically evaluates current support systems, revealing inadequacies in both preventive and reactive measures. In response, we propose innovative intervention strategies, including enhancing mental health literacy, implementing comprehensive stress management programs, integrating career support systems, leveraging technology for improved access to mental health resources. The research emphasizes the urgent need for preventive approaches and early intervention, suggesting policy changes at institutional and societal levels. This study aims to inform effective strategies for improving mental health support, fostering resilience, and promoting overall well-being among young adults.
