  • The core of the university policy pursued by the Moon Jae-in administration is to strengthen university competencies through the diagnosis of universities. To this end, the word structural reform evaluation is changed to strengthening the basic competencies of universities, and is trying to escape from the past reduction of pro-class capacity. Deputy Prime Minister Kim Sang-gon insisted, "We will improve the university structure evaluation, which is biased toward quantitative quota adjustment, with a diagnosis of basic university competency to support the autonomous development of the university." The Ministry of Education expressed its intention to strengthen the capacity of local universities by saying that it would also consider regional conditions in reducing the university quota due to the decrease in the school-age population so far. In the meantime, as the school-age population declined, the Ministry of Education promoted the reform of the university structure by dividing it into three cycles from 2014. This paper focuses on the problems of diagnosis of education reform and improvement measures, and tries to find out what is the desirable direction for education innovation. This paper studied the structural reform of universities following the decline of local universities. The policy alternatives in this paper are as follows. First, the contents of the government's push for university structural reform were analyzed. Second, we considered the problems of university structural reform. Third, they sought ways to develop local universities and enhance their competitiveness.

  • Background: Shoulder horizontal abduction in the prone position (SHAP) has been reported as an effective exercise to strengthen the lower trapezius. However, the effects of pre-emptive scapular posterior tilt on scapular muscle activity and scapulohumeral movements during SHAP have not been examined. Objectives: To examine the effect of the addition of scapular posterior tilt on muscle activity of the trapezius and posterior deltoid, and scapular posterior tilt and shoulder horizontal abduction, during SHAP. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Fifteen healthy male subjects performed two types of SHAP: general and modified SHAP (SHAP combined with pre-emptive scapular posterior tilt). To perform modified SHAP, pre-emptive scapular posterior tilt training was performed prior to the modified SHAP. Muscle activity of the middle and lower trapezius and posterior deltoid, and the amount of scapular posterior tilt and shoulder horizontal abduction, were measured during two types of SHAP. Results: Muscle activity of the lower trapezius and scapular posterior tilt was significantly increased during the modified SHAP, while muscle activity of the posterior deltoid and the amount of shoulder horizontal abduction were significantly decreased. However, the middle trapezius muscle activity did not change during the modified SHAP. Conclusion: The SHAP with pre-emptive scapular posterior tilt can be useful to strengthen the lower trapezius.

  • Purpose: This study is to improve awareness of MSDS in order to prevent university accidents and protect university laboratory workers. In order to improve awareness, measures to increase accessibility through auxiliary means (warning signs, One Page Sheet MSDS, etc) and ways to strengthen safety training (improvement and strengthen MSDS training). Research design, data and methodology: A questionnaire survey was adopted as a research method for this study. Question items were selected, modified, and supplemented by referring to the previous paper. Results: As a result of the survey, MSDS found that it was difficult to find the information they wanted and that there were many technical terms and limitations in using it. In addition, MSDS training is underway, but few university laboratory workers felt that training was helping. This shows that the effectiveness of training is virtually insignificant. Therefore, it seems that improvement measures are needed to solve this. Conclusions: One Sheet MSDS, an effective way for university laboratory workers to communicate information, and MSDS information should be provided with warning signs with large phrases and good visibility. In addition, this study proposes a One Sheet MSDS that prioritizes important MSDS items over all items in the MSDS, and in the field of education, several improvements are proposed, such as "To prevent problems and answers from being shared on the Internet" and "To improve the difficulty of checking the online curriculum".
