Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the child care teachers experience about professional vision development through participating in video clubs with their peers while watching videos about their interactions with children in the classroom. Methods: We selected three child care teachers in a day care center in Seoul area and conducted the qualitative case study. Video clubs were designed to support the quality of teacher-child interaction by developing child-care teachers' professional vision. And the video clubs used the self-reflection process and cooperative self-reflection process as an important educational method. Results: Teachers were able to experience the change of attention in watching their interaction scene through the 4-time video club participation and to have opportunity for educational (knowledge based) reasoning. Particularly, through participation in the video club, the teacher could pay attention to teachers' intention, teachers' decision making process, and child's intention. In addition, through video club participation, the teachers experienced educational interpretation based on children's thinking and interest; and reasoning through reflective thinking about the results of teaching behavior. This change of professional vision was possible through mutual scaffolding through cooperative reflection among participating teachers. Conclusion/Implications: Based on the results of this study we discussed the importance of the professional vision development of the child care teachers and the effectiveness of the video club for supporting their professional vision development.

Jeong Yak-yong attempted to establish a new philosophical system through the criticism on Neo-Confucianism. The most important area among the ideas of Dasan is on the ethical thoughts. He has a tremendous interest in the ethical education as well as ethical thought. During his exile, he gathered children around and educated them by editing "Jegyeong(弟經)". Dasan regarded "Sohak(小學)" to have some problems in educating children. Thus, he reconstructed the contents of "Sohak" and edited "Jegyeong". "Jegyeong" is more concise than Sohak and is a textbook focusing on children which is mainly composed of practical etiquette in the everyday life. It contains etiquettes to parents, teachers and adults, etiquettes on food in the everyday life and etiquettes between men and women. Although the contents does not exceed the scope of Sohak, he selected reasonable contents and composed with practical contents. Thus, it is practical. Dasan also attempted to make a novel interpretation on Saseo (四書), i.e., Noneo, Maengja, Daehak and Jungyong. His new interpretation on Saseo can be considered as ethical textbooks in a broad sense. Dasan considered the key ethical principle of Saseo (四書) to be Seo (恕). Accordingly, he thought it is very important to understand and practice ethical principle of Seo (恕). Dasan studied and annotated "Simgyeong(心經)" and "Sohak(小學)" for self moral discipline. And, he thought it is utmost important to understand and accept the existence of Sangje (上帝) in order to keep moral mind. He believed it to be important to have Gyesingonggu (戒愼恐懼), which is to aware and respect the existence of Sangje (god) for self discipline and Sindok (愼獨) to be cautious about things that only he was aware of. He thought that if people are aware of Sangje (上帝) and make dialog with Sangje, the will of Sangje could be expressed into Dosim (道心). In the ethical education, it can be said that, ultimately, the awareness on the absolute being is the most important point to Dasan.

With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, interest in AI education is increasing. In order to cultivate talented people with AI competencies who will lead the future, AI education must be conducted in a sound manner at the school site. Although AI education is being conducted at home and abroad, it was determined that the role of the AI education platform is important to implement better AI education, so this study investigated the perception of experts on the AI education platform. A perception survey was conducted based on five criteria: teaching and learning management, educational contents, accessibility, performance of AI education platform, and level suitability of elementary school students. As a results, the number of 103 educational experts selected 'Entry' as the most proper platform among the eight platforms - 'Machine learning for Kids', 'Teachable Machine', 'AI Oceans(code.org)', 'Entry', 'Genie Block', 'Elice', 'mBlock' and etc. Analysis shows that this is because 'Entry' provides quality educational content, has convenient accessibility, is easy to manage teaching and learning, as well as an AI education platform suitable for the level of elementary school. In order to apply various AI education platforms to the school field, it is necessary to train teachers in AI-related training to train them as AI education experts, and to continuously provide opportunities to experience AI education platforms. In this study, there are limitations to what is called 'a population perception survey'. because only 103 people were surveyed, and most of the experts are working in a specific area(Gyeonggi-do). In the future, it is judged that research targeting experts at the national level should be conducted to supplement these limitations.

Photoacoustic imaging is a useful tool for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis because it is capable of providing anatomical and pathological information at the same time. A photoacoustic signal detector is a pivotal element to achieve high spatial resolution, so that it should have broadband spectrum with a high center frequency. Since a photoacoustic imaging probe is directly inserted into blood vessel to diagnose atherosclerosis, the total size of the photoacoustic signal detector should be less than 1 mm. The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that PVDF can be used as an active material for the photoacoustic signal detector with a high frequency and broadband characteristic. The photoacoustic signal detector developed in this study was a single element ultrasound transducer with an aperture of $0.5{\times}0.5mm$ and the total size of 1 mm. In the design stage, the natural focal depth was adjusted for an effective focal area to cover the region of interest, i.e., 1~5 mm in depth. This was because geometrical focusing could not be used due to the small aperture. Through a pulse-echo test, it was ascertained that the developed photoacoustic signal detector has the -6 dB bandwidth ranging between 40.1 and 112.8 MHz and the center frequency of 76.83 MHz.

Jicon scallop (Chlamys farreri), as one of new culture species, has been taken a growing interest in Korea recently. Artificial seeds are needed since seeds in natural waters are absolutely short. To develop the better methods for the artificial spawning and the rearing larvae on a large scale, experiments were carried out from July 1993 to May 1994. Mother shells were collected from the area near Tong-yeong and Geoje-do, the southern part of the Korean Penninsula. It was estimated that a period of 2-years was needed to be mother shells after the fertilization. Generally, spawning occourred intermittently from March to August and the maximum occurred in July. A best way for the artificial spawning was a chemical incentive, a 'serotonin injection' in parallel with the exposure and the temperature stimulation. Densities of the fertilized eggs for the normal development was from 30 to 40 per mililiter. It took 27-days from the fertilization to the settling larva averaging $155{\mu}m$ in size with water temperature 11.5\~13.0^{\circ}C$. Isochrysis galvana and Chaetoceros calcitrans with a density of $1,500\times10^4$ cells per ililiter were supplied for rearing the larvae. A proper density of larvae was 10 individuals per mililiter, and the survival rate of larvae from the flowing water system was much better than that of larvae from the still water.

In large-area crop classification with MODIS data, a mixed pixel problem caused by the low resolution of MODIS data has been one of main issues. To mitigate this problem, this paper proposes a hierarchical classification algorithm that selectively classifies the specific crop class of interest by using their spectral characteristics. This selective classification algorithm can reduce mixed pixel effects between crops and improve classification performance. The methodological developments are illustrated via a case study in Jilin city, China with MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Near InfRared (NIR) reflectance datasets. First, paddy fields were extracted from unsupervised classification of NIR reflectance. Non-paddy areas were then classified into corn and bean using time-series NDVI datasets. In the case study result, the proposed classification algorithm showed the best classification performance by selectively classifying crops having similar spectral characteristics, compared with traditional direct supervised classification of time-series NDVI and NIR datasets. Thus, it is expected that the proposed selective hierarchical classification algorithm would be effectively used for producing reliable crop maps.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of reading activity of employees in public libraries on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment which was suggested by previous studies proving the relationship among the variables in the business area. The results from the survey indicate that there were significant differences in job satisfaction, satisfaction with human relationship, satisfaction of self-realization, affective commitment, and continuance commitment in terms of the frequency of participation in a book club. Additionally, the number of employees' reading books and hours spent for reading significantly influenced their job satisfaction and the hours spent for reading significantly influenced affective commitment. It was also found that participation continuity for a book club influenced on satisfaction level of social recognition, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Job satisfaction level had a complete mediation effect between reading hours and affective commitment, and satisfaction from social recognition had a complete mediation effect between participation continuity in a reading meeting, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Based on these results, this study suggests a plan for constructing a good environment for employees to read through introducing a reading management as follows. Firstly, managers of public libraries need to take an active interest in reading management and various programs to encourage employees to read need to be provided. Secondly, public libraries are required to encourage their employees' participation in book clubs and support them, so that the employees are able to participate in the book club consistently. Finally, institution-level consistent motivation is needed for an active reading activity.

Recently, in order to support automatic meter reading for conventional metering devices, an image processing-based approach of recognizing the number meter data in the captured meter images has attracted many researchers' interests. Numerical character segmentation is a very critical process for successful recognition. In this paper, we propose an efficient numeric character segmentation method which can segment numeric characters well for any metering device types under diverse illumination environments. The proposed method consists of two consecutive stages; detection of number area containing all numbers as a tight ROI(Region of Interest) and segmentation of numerical characters in the ROI. Detection of tight ROI is achieved in two steps: extraction of rough ROI by utilizing horizontal line segments after illumination enhancement preprocessing, and making the rough ROI more tight through clipping utilizing vertical and horizontal projection about binarized ROI. Numerical character segmentation in the detected ROI is stably achieved in two processes of 'vertical segmentation of each number region' and 'number segmentation in the each vertical segmented number region'. Through the experiments about a homegrown meter image database containing various meter type images of low contrast, low intensity, shadow, and saturation, it is shown that the proposed numeric character segmentation method performs effectively well for any metering device types under diverse illumination environments.

The recent trend for numerical experiment requires more higher resolution and accuracy. Generally, in the wave field calculation, it starts with a large region formulation first and follows by a separated detailed region formulation by more denser grids for the main interest area considering the geographical and bathymetrical variation. The wave fields resulted from the large region calculation is being introduced into the detail region calculation as the incident waves. In this process there exists a problem of continuity. In order to get over such problem, method of variable gridding system or spectrum sampling, etc., is being used. However, it seems not enough to examine and analyze the related numerical errors. Therefore, it is investigated in this study the field applicability of the most pervasive use of wave model, the nested SWAN model. For this purpose, we made model experiment for two coastal harbours with different tidal environment, and compared and analyzed the result. From the analysis, it was found that both the extracted values, near the boundaries of the large and detail region and the nested formulation of SWAN model, show almost the same and no different between those with different tidal environment conditions. However it is necessary for reducing the numerical errors to set the boundaries for the detailed region outside of the rapid bathymetric change and deeper region.
