This discovery-oriented study explored 31 social workers' perceptions of discrepancies between explicit and implicit rules in their work places that are supposed to affect the quality of social work services, and identified eight categories of dilemmas: (a) confused accountability or purpose, (b) ambiguous principle, (c) improper authority, (d) confused role of social workers, (e) conflict between ideal and reality, (f) confused work ethics, (g) confused boundary of workers' rights, and (h) binds. These eight categories revealed the real philosophy and purposes of social work agencies, work ethics and values prevalent among social work agencies, agencies' orientation toward clients, and the conditions of social support from the society in large. Instead of searching for discrete variables as separately responsible for inefficient social work services, this approach probed malfunctioning implicit rules in a holistic context to see if inefficient or ineffective provision of social work services is a logical response to a much larger and deeper nexus. Insight into discrepant rules does not solely ensure the improvement of social work practice in the field, particularly if their identification is simply used as another opportunity to blame and avoid self-responsibility. However, such discrepancies between implicit and explicit rules are real enough to the staff workers and agency administrators that they may want to begin the dialogue of contradictory rules as a way of sanctioning discussion of previously forbidden topics. This study provided the ground-work for the dialogue.

Self-care to prevent cancer and self-management to cope with the disease are two discrete effective mechanisms for improving of control and management of neoplasia. Both them have certain strategies and practices. Often the two are used interchangeably despite their different approaches. Strategies of self-care usually refer to prevention at different levels include primary, secondary and tertiary. In contrast, strategies of self-management are related to management and alleviation of unpleasant cancer-related symptoms and treatment-related side effects for improving the quality of life of cancer survivors. Successful promoting of self-care and self-management strategies need people and survivor empowerment. Within this context, innovative approaches open a new window. In this paper after a brief review of related strategies and practices, we provide an explanation of how cancer portals may play an important role in the empowerment process and what are key potentials for implementing of self-care and self-management strategies for cancer.

The inherent biology of neural stem cells (NSCs) endows them with capabilities that not only circumvent many of the limitations of other gene transfer vehicles, but that enable a variety of novel therapeutic strategies heretofore regarded as beyond the purview of neural transplantation, Most neurodegenerative diseases are characterized not by discrete, focal abnormalities but rather by extensive, multifocal, or even global neuropathology. Such widely disseminated lesions have not conventionally been regarded as amenable to neural transplantation. However, the ability of NSCs to engraft diffusely and become integral members of structures throughout the host CNS while also expressing therapeutic molecules may permit these cells to address that challenge. Intriguingly, while NSCs can be readily engineered to express specified foreign genes, other intrinsic factors appear to emanate spontaneously from NSCs and, in the context of reciprocal donor-host signaling, seem to be capable of neuroprotective and/or neuroregenerative functions. Stem cells additionally have the appealing ability to "home in" on pathology, even over great distances. Such observations help to advance the idea that NSCs - as a prototype for stem cells from other solid organs - might aid in reconstructing the molecular and cellular milieu of maid eve loped or damaged organs.

In this paper, an underwater navigation system with adaptive receding horizon Kalman filter (ARHKF) is studied. It is well known that incorrect statistical information and temporal disturbance invoke errors of any navigation systems with Kalman filter, which makes the autonomous navigation difficult in real underwater environment. In this context, two kinds of problems are herein considered. The first one is the development of an algorithm, which estimates the noise covariance of a linear discrete time-varying stochastic system. The second one is the implementation of ARHKF to underwater navigation systems. The performance of the derived estimation algorithm of noise covariance and the ARHKF are verified by simulation and experiment in the towing tank of Seoul National University.

Structural design, in general, is developed through trial and error technique which is guided by standards criteria and based on the intuition and experience of the engineer, a context that leads to structural over-dimensioning, with uneconomic solutions. Aiming to find the optimal design, structural optimization methods have been developed to find a balance between cost, structural safety, and material performance. These methods have become a great opportunity in the steel structural engineering domain since they have as their main purpose is weight minimization, a factor directly correlated to the real cost of the structure. Assuming an objective function of minimum weight with stress and displacement constraints provided by Brazilian standards, the present research proposes the sizing optimization and combined approach of sizing and shape optimization, through a software developed to implement the Simulated Annealing metaheuristic algorithm. Therefore, two steel plane frame layouts, each admitting four typical truss geometries, were proposed in order to expose the difference between the optimal solutions. The assessment of the optimal solutions indicates a notable weight reduction, especially in sizing and shape optimization combination, in which the quantity of design variables is increased along with the search space, improving the efficiency of the optimal solutions achieved.

In this study, we design a teaching unit that constructs Pascal graphs and extended Pascal triangles to explore number patterns inherent in them. This teaching unit is designed to consider the diachronic process of teaching-learning by combining Dörfler's theoretical generalization model with Wittmann's design science ideas, which are applied to the didactical practice of mathematization. In the teaching unit, considering the teaching-learning level of prospective teachers who studied discrete mathematics, we generalize the well-known Pascal triangle and its number patterns to extended Pascal triangles which have directed graphs(called Pascal graphs) as geometric models. In this process, the use of symbols and the introduction of variables are exhibited as important means of generalization. It provides practical experiences of mathematization to prospective teachers by going through various steps of the generalization process targeting symbols. This study reflects Wittmann's intention in that well-understood mathematics and the context of the first type of empirical research as structure-genetic didactical analysis are considered in the design of the learning environment.

In the optimized structure sizing, the optimization methods are inserted in this context in order to obtain satisfactory solutions, which can provide more economical structures, besides allowing the consideration of the factors related to the environmental impacts in the structural design. This work proposes a mathematical model for the optimization of steel-concrete composite beams aiming to minimize the monetary cost and the environmental impact, using the Harmonic Search optimization method. Discrete variables were the dimensions of the steel profiles and the thickness of the collaborating slab of the composite steel-concrete beam. The proposed model was implemented in Fortran programming language and based on improvements in the structure of the optimization method proposed by Medeiros and Kripka (2017). To prove the effectiveness and applicability of the model, as well as the Harmonic Search method, analyzes were performed with different configurations of steel-concrete composite beams, in order to provide guidelines that make the use of these systems more streamlined. In general, the Harmonic Search optimization method has proved to be efficient in the search for the optimized solutions, as well as important considerations on the optimization of the monetary and environmental costs of steel-concrete composite beams were obtained from the developed examples.

비언어적 즉시성은 친밀감을 증대시키고 인터랙션을 활성화하는 등 대인 간 커뮤니케이션 상황에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구는 인간 로봇 상호작용 연구에서 논의되어 온 다양한 비언어적 행동들을 비언어적 즉시성이라는 개념으로 묶고, 이들이 어떻게 로봇에 대한 사람의 인지에 영향을 미치는지 파악하고자 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 비언어적 즉시성의 요소들은 보다 활발한 언어적인 피드백을 동반할 때 대화의 쌍방향성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 낱개의 비언어적 즉시성의 요소들은 그 의미를 강화할 수 있는 다른 채널이 없는 한, 의미의 해석이 일관되게 나타나지 않음을 보여주었다. 그리고 비언어적 즉시성의 요소 중 접촉은 로봇과 유사한 대상을 떠올리는 데에 영향을 미쳤다. 사람들은 대화할 때 사람과 동일한 사회적 규칙을 로봇에게 적용했지만, 자기 노출에 있어서는 로봇에게 더 솔직하다는 것이 드러났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 인간과 로봇이 상호작용하는 상황에서 효과적인 언어적, 비언어적 표현의 구성 원리를 제시한다는 측면에서 시사점을 가진다.

본 연구에서는 주차정책의 변화에 따른 운전자의 주차행동 변화를 예측하고, 나아가서 주차시설별 주차수요의 예측이 가능한 주차장 선택모형을 개발하기 위하여, 대구광역시 운전자의 선호의식자료를 이용한 다항로짓과 네스티드로짓 주차장 선택모형을 추정하고, 모형에 대한 탄력성분석을 실시하였다. 설명변수로서는 성별 연령 등의 대안특유 사회경제적 변수와 주차장 탐색 및 입고시간, 목적지까지의 도보거리, 주차요금, 불법주차 단속횟수 등의 주차관련 특성변수를 적용하였다. 모형의 추정결과에 의하면, 각 설명변수에 대한 추정 파라메타의 부호는 논리적으로 타당하였으며, 모형의 적합도 역시 양호하게 나타났다. 또한, 주차정책변수의 변화에 대한 모형의 탄력성 분석을 실시한 결과에 의하면, 주차비용의 탄력성이 가장 높았고, 주차시설 접근시간보다 목적지까지의 도보거리의 탄력성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 주차시설의 입고 편의성보다 주차시설과 목적지간의 근접성이 더욱 중요하다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서, 앞으로의 주차시설은 목적지 주변에 소형주차장을 분산하여 공급할 필요가 있을 것이다. 상기와 같이, 본 연구의 결과는 주차정책 수립을 위한 중요한 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 개념적 은유의 분석을 통해 RME 기반 대학 미분방정식 수업에 참여한 학생들의 개념적 모델의 변환을 탐구하였다. 분석 결과 학기초 이산적이고 양적인 개념적 모델이 학생들의 수학적 토의 맥락에서 지배적이었으나 맥락문제탐구에 기반한 수학적 의미의 재조정 과정을 통해 연속적이고 질적인 사고를 반영하는 개념적 모델이 발생하여 기존의 개념적 모델이 확장됨이 밝혀졌다. 이와 같은 개념적 모델의 변환은 본 프로젝트 교실 참여가 학생들의 미분방정식에 대한 문제해결적 사고의 유연성을 증대시키는데 기여하였음을 보여준다. 이와 같은 분석 결과에 기초하여, 본 논문은 학생들의 개념적 모델의 변환을 촉발한 교수학적 요소에 대한 논의를 통해 학생들의 개념적 모델 변환이 가지는 사회문화적 의미를 조명하고 RME 기반 수학 수업 모델의 학교 현장 적용에 유용한 시사점을 제공하였다.
