  • To make a long story short I made up my mind to experiment with a multimedia approach to my classroom presentations two years ago because my ways of giving instructions bored the pants off me as well as my students. My favorite ways used to be sometimes referred to as classical or traditional ones, heavily dependent on the three elements: teacher's mouth, books, and chalk. Some call it the 'MBC method'. To top it off, I tried audio-visuals such as tape recorders, cassette players, VTR, pictures, and you name it, that could help improve my teaching method. And yet I have been unhappy about the results by a trial and error approach. I was determined to look for a better way that would ensure my satisfaction in the first place. What really turned me on was a multimedia CD ROM title, ELLIS (English Language Learning Instructional Systems) developed by Dr. Frank Otto. This is an integrated system of learning English based on advanced computer technology. Inspired by the utility and potential of such a multimedia system for regular classroom or lab instructions, I designed a simple but practical multimedia language learning laboratory in 1994 for the first time in Korea(perhaps for the first time in the world). It was high time that the conventional type of language laboratory(audio-passive) at Hahnnam be replaced because of wear and tear. Prior to this development, in 1991, I put a first CALL(Computer Assisted Language Learning) laboratory equipped with 35 personal computers(286), where students were encouraged to practise English typing, word processing and study English grammar, English vocabulary, and English composition. The first multimedia language learning laboratory was composed of 1) a multimedia personal computer(486DX2 then, now 586), 2) VGA multipliers that enable simultaneous viewing of the screen at control of the instructor, 3) an amplifIer, 4) loud speakers, 5)student monitors, 6) student tables to seat three students(a monitor for two students is more realistic, though), 7) student chairs, 8) an instructor table, and 9) cables. It was augmented later with an Internet hookup. The beauty of this type of multimedia language learning laboratory is the economy of furnishing and maintaining it. There is no need of darkening the facilities, which is a must when an LCD/beam projector is preferred in the laboratory. It is headset free, which proved to make students exasperated when worn more than- twenty minutes. In the previous semester I taught three different subjects: Freshman English Lab, English Phonetics, and Listening Comprehension Intermediate. I used CD ROM titles like ELLIS, Master Pronunciation, English Tripple Play Plus, English Arcade, Living Books, Q-Steps, English Discoveries, Compton's Encyclopedia. On the other hand, I managed to put all teaching materials into PowerPoint, where letters, photo, graphic, animation, audio, and video files are orderly stored in terms of slides. It takes time for me to prepare my teaching materials via PowerPoint, but it is a wonderful tool for the sake of presentations. And it is worth trying as long as I can entertain my students in such a way. Once everything is put into the computer, I feel relaxed and a bit excited watching my students enjoy my presentations. It appears to be great fun for students because they have never experienced this type of instruction. This is how I freed myself from having to manipulate a cassette tape player, VTR, and write on the board. The student monitors in front of them seem to help them concentrate on what they see, combined with what they hear. All I have to do is to simply click a mouse to give presentations and explanations, when necessary. I use a remote mouse, which prevents me from sitting at the instructor table. Instead, I can walk around in the room and enjoy freer interactions with students. Using this instrument, I can also have my students participate in the presentation. In particular, I invite my students to manipulate the computer using the remote mouse from the student's seat not from the instructor's seat. Every student appears to be fascinated with my multimedia approach to English teaching because of its unique nature as a new teaching tool as we face the 21st century. They all agree that the multimedia way is an interesting and fascinating way of learning to satisfy their needs. Above all, it helps lighten their drudgery in the classroom. They feel other subjects taught by other teachers should be treated in the same fashion. A multimedia approach to education is impossible without the advent of hi-tech computers, of which multi functions are integrated into a unified system, i.e., a personal computer. If you have computer-phobia, make quick friends with it; the sooner, the better. It can be a wonderful assistant to you. It is the Internet that I pay close attention to in conjunction with the multimedia approach to English education. Via e-mail system, I encourage my students to write to me in English. I encourage them to enjoy chatting with people all over the world. I also encourage them to visit the sites where they offer study courses in English conversation, vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, reading, and writing. I help them search any subject they want to via World Wide Web. Some day in the near future it will be the hub of learning for everybody. It will eventually free students from books, teachers, libraries, classrooms, and boredom. I will keep exploring better ways to give satisfying instructions to my students who deserve my entertainment.

  • As mobile devices that can be connected to the Internet have spread and networking has become possible whenever/wherever, the Internet has become central in the dissemination and consumption of news. Accordingly, the ways news is gathered, disseminated, and consumed have changed greatly. In the traditional news media such as magazines and newspapers, expert editors determined what events were worthy of deploying their staffs or freelancers to cover and what stories from newswires or other sources would be printed. Furthermore, they determined how these stories would be displayed in their publications in terms of page placement, space allocation, type sizes, photographs, and other graphic elements. In turn, readers-news consumers-judged the importance of news not only by its subject and content, but also through subsidiary information such as its location and how it was displayed. Their judgments reflected their acceptance of an assumption that these expert editors had the knowledge and ability not only to serve as gatekeepers in determining what news was valuable and important but also how to rank its value and importance. As such, news assembled, dispensed, and consumed in this manner can be said to be expert-based recommended news. However, in the era of Internet news, the role of expert editors as gatekeepers has been greatly diminished. Many Internet news sites offer a huge volume of news on diverse topics from many media companies, thereby eliminating in many cases the gatekeeper role of expert editors. One result has been to turn news users from passive receptacles into activists who search for news that reflects their interests or tastes. To solve the problem of an overload of information and enhance the efficiency of news users' searches, Internet news sites have introduced numerous recommendation techniques. Recommendations based on popularity constitute one of the most frequently used of these techniques. This popularity-based approach shows a list of those news items that have been read and shared by many people, based on users' behavior such as clicks, evaluations, and sharing. "most-viewed list," "most-replied list," and "real-time issue" found on news sites belong to this system. Given that collective intelligence serves as the premise of these popularity-based recommendations, popularity-based news recommendations would be considered highly important because stories that have been read and shared by many people are presumably more likely to be better than those preferred by only a few people. However, these recommendations may reflect a popularity bias because stories judged likely to be more popular have been placed where they will be most noticeable. As a result, such stories are more likely to be continuously exposed and included in popularity-based recommended news lists. Popular news stories cannot be said to be necessarily those that are most important to readers. Given that many people use popularity-based recommended news and that the popularity-based recommendation approach greatly affects patterns of news use, a review of whether popularity-based news recommendations actually reflect important news can be said to be an indispensable procedure. Therefore, in this study, popularity-based news recommendations of an Internet news portal was compared with top placements of news in printed newspapers, and news users' judgments of which stories were personally and socially important were analyzed. The study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, content analyses were used to compare the content of the popularity-based news recommendations of an Internet news site with those of the expert-based news recommendations of printed newspapers. Five days of news stories were collected. "most-viewed list" of the Naver portal site were used as the popularity-based recommendations; the expert-based recommendations were represented by the top pieces of news from five major daily newspapers-the Chosun Ilbo, the JoongAng Ilbo, the Dong-A Daily News, the Hankyoreh Shinmun, and the Kyunghyang Shinmun. In the second stage, along with the news stories collected in the first stage, some Internet news stories and some news stories from printed newspapers that the Internet and the newspapers did not have in common were randomly extracted and used in online questionnaire surveys that asked the importance of these selected news stories. According to our analysis, only 10.81% of the popularity-based news recommendations were similar in content with the expert-based news judgments. Therefore, the content of popularity-based news recommendations appears to be quite different from the content of expert-based recommendations. The differences in importance between these two groups of news stories were analyzed, and the results indicated that whereas the two groups did not differ significantly in their recommendations of stories of personal importance, the expert-based recommendations ranked higher in social importance. This study has importance for theory in its examination of popularity-based news recommendations from the two theoretical viewpoints of collective intelligence and popularity bias and by its use of both qualitative (content analysis) and quantitative methods (questionnaires). It also sheds light on the differences in the role of media channels that fulfill an agenda-setting function and Internet news sites that treat news from the viewpoint of markets.

  • This study was aimed at investigating the health seeking behaviors of patients; For the purpose of analyzing the research theme we classified the study into two phase. First, the types of patients' health seeking behavior were categorized into a scheme according to what medical care resources were utilized in patients' coping process. Second, from patients' first visits to third visits to medical resources, we analyzed variations of factors which noted as crucial elements in constituting the patients' sickness career. To grasp the generalized characteristics from complicated empirical data, we limited the scope of our analysis to third stage of health seeking. A total of 121 persons who had beer suffering from chronic diseases more than 3 months was sampled among the residents of Banwol-Eup, the target Area of Korea University Health Project. The findings are as follows ; 1) In the course of visiting medical care resources, 34 different types of health seeking Behavior were found. From this result we inferred the idea that patients in Banwol-Eup had not any stable norms to cope with their pains. Clinics, hospital, pharmacy, Herb-doctors', folkways (self-treatment) were accessed by patients in orders. But more than half of patients who had utilized clinics or hospitals from their first to third visits, changed medical care resources to others, for example herb doctors or folkways, which had fundamentally different treatment models. Upon these two facts, the diversified types and capricious patterns in the health seeking behavior of Banwol patients, we observed a typical Shopping-Around phenomenon. 2) Factors which influenced patients' to their sickness career were changed along the courses of health seeking, from first to third visits as follows ; $\cdot$ Perceived seriousness of diseases were tended to decrease. $\cdot$ Professional medical personnel tended to be influencial in the patients' sickness career, (5.0%, 25.0% and 65.7%). The influence of the primary interaction groups such as parents, friends, neighbours, tended to decrease ; (90.9%, 71.2% and 30.0%). $\cdot$ The subjective reasons why to choose such a medical care resource were related to economic affordability and disease-itself as main motives. Credibility of health resources tended to increase 14.9%, 24.0% and 31.4 sequently. $\cdot$ Geographic accessibility factors did not change significantly. Most of patients had utilized health resources in Banwol and Anyang area. 3) Cultural inclination in the shopping-around phenomenon has shown difference among age groups. The age group' over 50 years' preferred traditional health resources to modern health resources. 4) Consistency of health seeking behavior on the shopping around phenomenon has shown difference according to the degrees of patients' economic affordability and those of psychological satisfaction toward modern health services. However, there were some restrictions in this thesis ; a) the study was limited to the 3rd health seeking career so it did not allow us to collect more informations after that, b) the study was not able to carry out causal analysis on patients health behavior determinated by explanatory model of health resources, and c) the study was not able to take into consideration of factors connected with social structural circumstances. Despite of restrictions described above, we are sure that this thesis would promote health providers' understanding toward patients' inclinations, through which they could provide efficient and accurate medical service.

  • 일본의 애니메이션 감독 신카이 마코토는 1인 제작 시스템과 '빛의 작가' 로 주목 받으며 등장했으나 그의 2016년 개봉작 <너의 이름은.>은 그러한 기존의 그의 작품을 특징지은 요소들로부터 상당부분 스스로 탈피한 모습을 보임과 동시에 일본 전통적 인연설인 무스비 테제의 결합으로 내러티브의 풍부함과 열린 해석 가능성의 매력으로 흥행은 물론 앞으로의 작품에 대한 기대감까지 한껏 고조시켰다. 이 작품은 제목에서도 짐작할 수 있는 바, '이름'에 관한 일본 고대 언어관과 현대 언어관의 만남이 나타나며 온전한 '만남' 을 위해 이름(언어)의 역할이 사건 속에서 다양한 변주로 반복 강조되는 모습을 보인다. 이 작품에서는 인물들도, 사물들도 접촉하는 주체의 뜻에 따라 그 기의가 유사성의 은유적 역할로 해석이 확장, 유보된다. 기표와 기의라는 구조를 통해 분석된 말과 사물의 관계는 소쉬르를 통해 나타난 현대의 획기적인 사상적 발견이다. 데리다는 소쉬르의 이 개념에서 사물을 비로소 존재하게 하는 '차이' 에 주목하며, 로고스의 명령에 충실해 온 서구의 로고스 중심주의, 이성 중심주의를 해체한다. 이처럼 서구 형이상학의 폐쇄적이고 배타적인 원리가 해체된 이후 대두되게 된 것은 중심의 해체, 주체의 해체이다. 데리다는 이처럼 해체주의를 표방하며 그 동안의 이성 중심주의에 의해 배제되어왔던 수많은 약소자들 및 타자들과 어떻게 관계를 맺으며, 어떻게 타자들의 부름에 응답하고 그들을 환대할 수 있느냐 하는 문제를 제기한다. 데리다의 '해체'개념은 언어의 본성에 대한 통찰을 출발점으로 하는 철학적 전략이다. 그가 텍스트를 읽는 방법적 개념으로 등장시킨 은유인 '산종(dissemination, 散種)'은 해석 실천(혹은 유희의 방법)으로 작용하며, 어떤 종국적인 해석을 추구하지 않는다. 그의 '결정 불가능성'은 그 출발은 무한성이 아니지만 귀결되는 종착지는 무한성이다. 연구자는 인간이 언어의 주체가 아닌 언어의 사용자의 입장이기에, 데리다 역시 기표와 기의로 이루어진 사물의 세계를 열린 텍스트로 해석함으로써 우리 역시 세계의 해석자가 될 수 없음을 스스로 증언했다고 파악하며, 데리다의 '해체'와 '산종'의 프레임을 통해 사물과 이름의 이야기, 이름을 통한 만남을 이야기하고 있는 신카이 마코토의 작품을 읽어보고자 한다. 또한 기표와 기의의 구조가 이 작품 속에서, 또한 현대를 살아가는 우리 인간과는 어떠한 관계가 있는지 제고하며. 데리다의 해체와 산종 개념을 통해 작품에 나타난 말과 사물의 관계를 살펴보며, 기표와 기의로 세계를 파악하는 우리 역시도 곧 기표와 기의의 일부에 다름없음을 확인한다.

  • 생물다양성협약의 핵심의제인 '유전자원에 대한 접근 및 이로부터 발생하는 이익의 공유(ABS)'에 관한 주요 논의 요소를 도출하고, 우리나라에 미치는 영향과 이를 대응하기 위한 정책방향을 제안하고자 하였다. ABS에 관한 주요 논의 내용은 유전자원의 접근과 유전자원의 이용으로부터 도출되는 이익의 공정하고 균등한 배분에 대한 Bonn 지침'의 법적인 구속력을 발휘할 수 있는 국제레짐(International Regime)의 마련, 유전자원의 기원 및 출처 등에 대한 국제인증제도, ABS의 사전통보승인(PIC)과 상호합의조건(MAT)의 의무준수 등이다. 풍부한 유전자원의 보유국이대 개도국들은 유전자원에 대한 이익공유의 최대화, 유전자원에 대한 전통지식의 권리인정, 자국의 유전자원 보전과 이용을 위한 선진외국으로부터의 기술이전 및 재정지원 요구 등의 주장을 통하여 생물다양성협약을 자국의 이익을 추구할 수 있는 주요한 수단으로 이용하고 있다. 반면 선진국들은 자국의 이익을 최대화하기 위하여 외국의 유전자원에 용이하게 접근하고 ABS에 유전자원의 이용기술의 권리인 지적재산권을 반영하도록 노력하는 등 개도국의 주장과는 대립되어 있다. Bonn지침과 ABS의 의무준수 등에 관한 동 협약의 결정내용 등은 우리나라에 긍정적이고 또한 부정적인 영향을 나타내고 있다. 특히 유전자원이 풍부하지 않은 우리나라의 경우, 국민의 의식주에 필요로 하는 유전자원의 수입이 더욱 어려워질 것이고, 유전자원을 훼손하는 국내 각종 개발 사업은 더욱 큰 제한을 받게 될 것이다. 따라서 해외의 유전자원을 확보하고, 유전자원의 보전 및 이용에 관한 고유기술 개발 등에 관한 경제적 부담이 증가 할 것이다. 이러한 부정적인 영향을 최소화하기 위해서는 ABS에 관한 우리의 입장을 구체적으로 정립하고, 국제사회의 흐름을 우리에게 유리하게 이끌어 나가야 한다. 이를 위해서는 i) 국제적인 ABS 논의동향과 향후 논의의 결정사항이 우리나라에 미치는 영향에 대한 과학적이고 체계적인 연구의 추진, ii) ABS에 관련된 영향을 대응할 수 있는 국가의 이행계획을 수립하고 이행, iii) 상기 이행계획의 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 그 효율성을 검정하고 이를 통해 이행계획을 개선, 그리고 iv) ABS에 관한 여타의 국제적인 논의에도 적극적으로 임해야 할 것이다.

  • 기업과 소비자간 전자 상거래 시장이 급속히 성장하고 있으나 많은 전문가들은 아직도 그 잠재력을 충분히 발휘하지 못하고 있다고 주장한다. 이에 대한 이유로 온라인 쇼핑환경이 지니는 인간적 사회적 요소의 부재를 들고 있다. 온라인 쇼핑은 전통적인 면대면 상거래에 비해 보다 비인적이며 익명성이 강해 인간적인 온정과 사회성이 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 전통적 상거래에 비해 온라인 쇼핑이 가지는 태생적 한계인 면대면 사회적 상호작용을 대신할 수 있는 개념으로 사회적 실재감을 도입하여 사회적 실재감의 선 후행변수간의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 연구주제와 관련 있는 마케팅, 심리학, 커뮤니케이션 연구분야의 연구결과들을 고찰하였으며, 이를 기반으로 하여 연구모형을 제시하였다. 제시된 연구모형을 검증하기 위하여 자기 보고식 설문지를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 본 설문의 응답자들은 최소 5회 이상 인터넷 구매를 경험한 소비자들로 구성하였는데, 이는 사회적 실재감에 대한 지각은 인터넷 쇼핑몰과의 잦은 접촉이 있어야만 생길 수 있는 지각으로 판단하였기 때문이다. 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 쇼핑몰의 맞춤화 노력은 지각된 사회적 실재감에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 쇼핑몰의 반응성 역시 지각된 사회적 실재감에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 쇼핑몰은 고객의 요구에 다양한 방법으로 신속하고 성실하게 반응함으로써 사회적 실재감을 높일 수 있다. 셋째, 지각된 게시판 활동성은 사회적 실재감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 쇼핑몰 운영자는 자사 게시판을 적극적으로 활성화하여 소비자의 사회적 실재감을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 마지막으로 지각된 사회적 실재감은 쇼핑몰 신뢰와 즐거움에 영향을 미치고 쇼핑몰 신뢰와 즐거움은 쇼핑몰 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 기존 온라인 쇼핑에 관한 연구의 중심이 되고 있는 쇼핑몰 충성도와 신뢰 형성에 사회적 실재감이 중요한 영향요인임을 의미하는 것으로 쇼핑몰 신뢰와 충성도를 위한 새로운 전략적 시사점을 제공하고 있다고 볼 수 있다.

  • Corporate credit rating is a very important factor in the market for corporate debt. Information concerning corporate operations is often disseminated to market participants through the changes in credit ratings that are published by professional rating agencies, such as Standard and Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investor Service. Since these agencies generally require a large fee for the service, and the periodically provided ratings sometimes do not reflect the default risk of the company at the time, it may be advantageous for bond-market participants to be able to classify credit ratings before the agencies actually publish them. As a result, it is very important for companies (especially, financial companies) to develop a proper model of credit rating. From a technical perspective, the credit rating constitutes a typical, multiclass, classification problem because rating agencies generally have ten or more categories of ratings. For example, S&P's ratings range from AAA for the highest-quality bonds to D for the lowest-quality bonds. The professional rating agencies emphasize the importance of analysts' subjective judgments in the determination of credit ratings. However, in practice, a mathematical model that uses the financial variables of companies plays an important role in determining credit ratings, since it is convenient to apply and cost efficient. These financial variables include the ratios that represent a company's leverage status, liquidity status, and profitability status. Several statistical and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been applied as tools for predicting credit ratings. Among them, artificial neural networks are most prevalent in the area of finance because of their broad applicability to many business problems and their preeminent ability to adapt. However, artificial neural networks also have many defects, including the difficulty in determining the values of the control parameters and the number of processing elements in the layer as well as the risk of over-fitting. Of late, because of their robustness and high accuracy, support vector machines (SVMs) have become popular as a solution for problems with generating accurate prediction. An SVM's solution may be globally optimal because SVMs seek to minimize structural risk. On the other hand, artificial neural network models may tend to find locally optimal solutions because they seek to minimize empirical risk. In addition, no parameters need to be tuned in SVMs, barring the upper bound for non-separable cases in linear SVMs. Since SVMs were originally devised for binary classification, however they are not intrinsically geared for multiclass classifications as in credit ratings. Thus, researchers have tried to extend the original SVM to multiclass classification. Hitherto, a variety of techniques to extend standard SVMs to multiclass SVMs (MSVMs) has been proposed in the literature Only a few types of MSVM are, however, tested using prior studies that apply MSVMs to credit ratings studies. In this study, we examined six different techniques of MSVMs: (1) One-Against-One, (2) One-Against-AIL (3) DAGSVM, (4) ECOC, (5) Method of Weston and Watkins, and (6) Method of Crammer and Singer. In addition, we examined the prediction accuracy of some modified version of conventional MSVM techniques. To find the most appropriate technique of MSVMs for corporate bond rating, we applied all the techniques of MSVMs to a real-world case of credit rating in Korea. The best application is in corporate bond rating, which is the most frequently studied area of credit rating for specific debt issues or other financial obligations. For our study the research data were collected from National Information and Credit Evaluation, Inc., a major bond-rating company in Korea. The data set is comprised of the bond-ratings for the year 2002 and various financial variables for 1,295 companies from the manufacturing industry in Korea. We compared the results of these techniques with one another, and with those of traditional methods for credit ratings, such as multiple discriminant analysis (MDA), multinomial logistic regression (MLOGIT), and artificial neural networks (ANNs). As a result, we found that DAGSVM with an ordered list was the best approach for the prediction of bond rating. In addition, we found that the modified version of ECOC approach can yield higher prediction accuracy for the cases showing clear patterns.

  • Roy Huddle, having invented the coated particle in Harwell 1957, stated in the early 1970s that we know now everything about particles and coatings and should be going over to deal with other problems. This was on the occasion of the Dragon fuel performance information meeting London 1973: How wrong a genius be! It took until 1978 that really good particles were made in Germany, then during the Japanese HTTR production in the 1990s and finally the Chinese 2000-2001 campaign for HTR-10. Here, we present a review of history and present status. Today, good fuel is measured by different standards from the seventies: where $9*10^{-4}$ initial free heavy metal fraction was typical for early AVR carbide fuel and $3*10^{-4}$ initial free heavy metal fraction was acceptable for oxide fuel in THTR, we insist on values more than an order of magnitude below this value today. Half a percent of particle failure at the end-of-irradiation, another ancient standard, is not even acceptable today, even for the most severe accidents. While legislation and licensing has not changed, one of the reasons we insist on these improvements is the preference for passive systems rather than active controls of earlier times. After renewed HTGR interest, we are reporting about the start of new or reactivated coated particle work in several parts of the world, considering the aspects of designs/ traditional and new materials, manufacturing technologies/ quality control quality assurance, irradiation and accident performance, modeling and performance predictions, and fuel cycle aspects and spent fuel treatment. In very general terms, the coated particle should be strong, reliable, retentive, and affordable. These properties have to be quantified and will be eventually optimized for a specific application system. Results obtained so far indicate that the same particle can be used for steam cycle applications with $700-750^{\circ}C$ helium coolant gas exit, for gas turbine applications at $850-900^{\circ}C$ and for process heat/hydrogen generation applications with $950^{\circ}C$ outlet temperatures. There is a clear set of standards for modem high quality fuel in terms of low levels of heavy metal contamination, manufacture-induced particle defects during fuel body and fuel element making, irradiation/accident induced particle failures and limits on fission product release from intact particles. While gas-cooled reactor design is still open-ended with blocks for the prismatic and spherical fuel elements for the pebble-bed design, there is near worldwide agreement on high quality fuel: a $500{\mu}m$ diameter $UO_2$ kernel of 10% enrichment is surrounded by a $100{\mu}m$ thick sacrificial buffer layer to be followed by a dense inner pyrocarbon layer, a high quality silicon carbide layer of $35{\mu}m$ thickness and theoretical density and another outer pyrocarbon layer. Good performance has been demonstrated both under operational and under accident conditions, i.e. to 10% FIMA and maximum $1600^{\circ}C$ afterwards. And it is the wide-ranging demonstration experience that makes this particle superior. Recommendations are made for further work: 1. Generation of data for presently manufactured materials, e.g. SiC strength and strength distribution, PyC creep and shrinkage and many more material data sets. 2. Renewed start of irradiation and accident testing of modem coated particle fuel. 3. Analysis of existing and newly created data with a view to demonstrate satisfactory performance at burnups beyond 10% FIMA and complete fission product retention even in accidents that go beyond $1600^{\circ}C$ for a short period of time. This work should proceed at both national and international level.

  • There is a belief in the construction industry that the traditional court system may not be an ideal forum to effectively and efficiently resolve construction disputes due to the protracted proceedings and the three tier appeal system resulting in a long delay in the final and conclusive settlement of the dispute, relatively high costs involved, the lack of requisite knowledge and experience in the relevant industry, etc. Hence, they assert that certain alternative dispute resolution ('ADR') methods, such as mediation, conciliation, arbitration or a new system for dispute settlement in the form of any combination thereof should be developed and employed for construction disputes so as to resolve them more promptly and efficiently to the satisfaction of all the disputants concerned. This paper discusses certain merits of such assertions and the need for additional considerations for effective resolution of the construction disputes in light of the complexity of the case, importance of expert witnesses, parties' relationship and non-level playing field of the construction industry and so on. At the same time, however, given the inherent nature of disputes rendering the parties involved in an adversarial position, it would rather be difficult, if not practically impossible, to satisfy all the parties concerned in the dispute. Accordingly, in this study, it is also purported to address the demerits of such assertions by studying the situation from a more balanced perspective, in particular, in relation to the operation of such ADRs. In fact, most of such ADRs as stipulated by special acts, such as the Construction Industry Basic Act of Korea, in the form of mediation or conciliation, have failed to get support from the industry, and as a result, such ADRs are seldom used in practice. Tn contrast, the court system has been greatly improved by implementing a new concentrated review system and establishing several tribunals designed to specialize in the review and resolution of specific types of disputes, including the construction disputes. These improvements of the court system have been warmly received by the industry. Arbitration is another forum for settlement of construction disputes, which has grown and is expected to grow as the most effective ADR with the support from the construction industry. In this regard, the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board ('KCAB') has established a set of internal rules end procedures in operation to efficiently handle construction disputes. Considering the foregoing, this paper addresses the most important elements of the arbitration, i.e., arbitration agreement and arbitral award, primarily focusing on the domestic arbitrations before the KCAB. However, since this parer is prepared for presentation at the construction disputes seminar for the public audience, it is not intended for academic purposes, nor does it delve into any specific acadcmic issues. Likewise, although this paper addresses certain controversial issues by way of introduction, it mainly purports to facilitate the understanding of the general public, including the prospective arbitrators on the KCAB roster without the relevant legal education and background, concerning the importance of the integrity of the arbitration agreement and the arbitral award. In sum, what is purported in this study is simply to note that there are still many outstanding issues with mediation, conciliation and arbitration, as a matter of system, institutional operation or otherwise, for further study and consideration so as to enhance them as effective means for settlement of construction disputes, in replacement of or in conjunction with the court proceeding. For this purpose, it is essential for all the relevant parties, including lawyers, engineers, owners, contractors and social activists aiming to protect consumers' and subcontractors' interests, to conduct joint efforts to study the complicated nature of construction works and to develop effective means for examination and handling of the disputes of a technical nature, including the accumulation of the relevant industrial data. Based on the foregoing, the parties may be in a better position to select the appropriate dispute resolution mechanism, a court proceeding or in its stead, an effective ADR, considering the relevant factors of the subject construction works or the contract structure, such as the bargaining position of the parties, their financial status, confidentiality requirements, technical or commercial complexity of the case at hand, urgency for settlements, etc.
