  • Building resilient community is often a complicated process to be gained by interorganizational collaboration. Since patterns of interorganizational relations among governments and sectors are constantly changing due to internal and external factors in the field of emergency management, understanding the dynamic nature of interorganizational collaboration is a critical step for improving a community’s ability to bounce back from a catastrophic event. From two theoretical perspectives, this research aims to examine the essential role of working across levels of governments and sectors in building resilient community by focusing on sources of community resiliency and a strong commitment. The empirical evidence highlights the importance of studying resilience as a way to understand the motivation and incentive for organizations to work jointly during emergency response. The study of organizational resilience also draws attention for the importance of various forms of interorganizational collaboration such as formal and informal relations. It also highlights how local organizations can utilize their relations to seek resources without necessarily jeopardizing their ability to perform their core organizational functions.

  • Human Engineering is the new science that studies tile function and the characteristic of human. It is purpose to design machine equipments for him to be able to manipulate those, exactly, safely and easily. This study will introduce that new science in traffic problems and will be done as follows. 1. The Presentation of Problems: 2. Human Engineering and Accurrence process of traffic accidents. 3. Human Engineering and aptitude analysis 4. Conclusion In this paper, driver is not the man who drives a car, is the man who is able to adapt himself to road, and traffic environment. There is a limitation in Human faculty, especially, in the power of attention. Therefore, this paper will be studied to show that it is seeking the ability needed by traffic analysis as well as getting ability of aptitude to attribute to prevention of traffic accidents.

  • In contrast with Zelazo and Frye (1997) who argued that preschool children lack the conscious representation and executive functioning needed to solve problems based on conflicting rules, Bilaystok (1999) identified analysis(representation) and control(selective attention) as components of language processing and has shown that control develops earlier in bilingual than in monolingual children. This study investigated the effects of bilingualism on children's cognitive ability and language development by comparing Korean- Chinese bilingual with Chinese monolingual children in Yanji. Sixty children 3 to 5 years of age in each of the bilingual and the monolingual groups in Yanji, China participated in ths study. Results showed that bilingual were more advanced than monolingual children in solving problems requiring a high level of control, confirming Bialystok's(1999) results.

  • I report on the case of a polyglot ‘savant’ (C), who is mildly autistic, severely apraxic, and of limited intellectual ability; yet who can read, write, speak and understand about twenty languages. I outline his abilities, both verbal and non-verbal, noting the asymmetry between his linguistic ability and his general intellectual inability and, within the former, between his unlimited morphological and lexical prowess as opposed to his limited syntax. I then spell out the implications of these findings for modularity. C's unique profile suggested a further project in which we taught him British Sign Language. I report on this work, paying particular attention to the learning and use of classifiers, and discuss its relevance to the issue of modality: whether the human language faculty is preferentially tied to the oral domain, or is ‘modality-neutral’ as between the spoken and the visual modes.

  • Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is an invasive technique used during the surgical management of medically refractory epilepsy. The utility of SEEG rests in its ability to survey the three-dimensional organization of the epileptogenic zone as well as nearby eloquent cortices. Once concentrated to specialized centers in Europe and Canada, the SEEG methodology has gained worldwide popularity due to its favorable morbidity profile, superior coverage of deep structures, and ability to perform multi-lobar explorations without the need for craniotomy. This rapid shift in practice represents both a challenge and an opportunity for pediatric neurosurgeons familiar with the subdural grid approach. The purpose of this review is to discuss the indications, technique, and safety of long-term SEEG monitoring in children. In addition to reviewing the conceptual and technical points of the diagnostic evaluation, attention will also be given to SEEG-based interventions (e.g., radiofrequency thermo-coagulation).

  • Currently, as Korea enters into a fast aging society, the problem of dementia population is increasing. In this paper, we intend to contribute to the improvement of welfare for the elderly by developing virtual reality technology and related interface technology to effectively perform hand movements known as effective methods for preventing and treating dementia. As the content of the research and development of this paper, it is designed to be easy for the elderly to use and stimulate brain function by applying VR technology using sensors, and to activate mental and physical activities for the elderly who are marginalized in terms of cultural welfare. We intend to develop by classifying the types of games and contents that can induce them. As a result of this thesis, we developed contents using virtual reality to improve cognitive abilities for elderly people with poor cognitive ability to activate the brains of users' cognition, memory, and attention to prevent and treat dementia I want to contribute.

  • As the incidence of skin cancer increases every year, non-surgical treatment methods for cancer are being sought. Esculetin, a natural dihydroxy coumarin, is attracting attention as a therapeutic agent for certain diseases, such as cancer, based on its broad pharmacological activity. In this study, the anticancer ability of esculetin was evaluated using the epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431. As a result of evaluating the apoptosis ability of esculetin by MTT assay, apoptosis was observed in a time-concentration-dependent manner regardless of the presence or absence of FBS. As a result of quantitative real-time PCR, esculetin reduced cyclin D1 mRNA in a time-concentration-dependent manner. In addition, as a result of western blotting, esculetin significantly inhibited phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 in a concentration-dependent manner. The results of this study suggest that esculetin has the potential to be used as an effective natural medicine for the treatment of skin cancer.

  • The combination of physical activities and individual skills in sports creates an entertaining and competitive environment governed by a set of rules. In today's world, sports attract significant attention and are approached differently by various groups. Inevitably, injuries occur in sports, significantly impacting an athlete's performance and ability to participate in exercises and competitions. Addressing this issue, one of the crucial measures involves restoring the athlete's ability to engage in sports and compete. Sports rehabilitation serves as a treatment to mitigate the effects of injuries, and when combined with surgery, it can expedite the recovery process. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to utilize a biocompatible technology for synthesizing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in sports rehabilitation, ensuring minimal harm to the environment.

  • Digital transformation (DT) has gained global attention in various service industries, due to the pervasive nature and proliferation of recent digital technologies. Given that we live in an age of DT, the current research examines the factors influencing the older adults' quality of life due to DT. Specifically, we examine whether the older adults' digital skills (i.e., ability to use applications and self-efficacy in using digital devices) and motivational factors regarding DT (i.e., involvement in DT and need for cognition regarding DT) predict their quality of life due to DT. To answer the research question, we conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the elderly Korean adults aged 65 or older. The results indicate that the older adults' ability to use applications, self-efficacy in using digital devices, involvement in DT, and need for cognition regarding DT are positively associated with quality of life due to DT. The findings provide important implications to improve the elderly's quality of life due to DT.
