According to the online learning environment, learning activities using mobile technology have emerged as a major concern. The features of mobile technology show potential supporting the emergence of learners' agencies in science education. In this study, 22 research literature on mobile activities in science teaching and learning published in Korea from 2011 to April 2020 were selected. First, the framework of Suarez et al. (2018) was revised and the types of mobile activities were categorized and investigated. Second, the emergence of agencies was examined in the context of science teaching and learning. And also, the relevance of mobile activity types ('Access to content', 'Data collection', 'Peer-to-peer communication', 'Contextual support') to support learners' agency dimension ('goals', 'content', 'action', 'strategy', 'reflection', 'monitoring') was analyzed. The first analysis show that science teaching and learning through mobile activities are changing from traditional to student-centered. Through these activities, students become more involved in learning and get the opportunity to become agents of learning. As a result of the second analysis, it has been confirmed that the emergence of learners' agencies has been supported and strengthened through mobile activities. Whereas, it needs to look upon the relationship between learners' agency and mobile activities in the overall context of science class. This consideration led to implications for the use of mobile technology in future science education and the transition to student-centered education.

This research measured the current working conditions and workers' awareness of their working conditions in both information technology industry and non-information technology industry. Furthermore, the research analyzed the characteristics of pertaining industries and age, sex, and job status of the workers to diagnose the current status of the working conditions and awareness of domestic workers in information technology industry in Korea. The purpose of this research is to provide the necessary data to establish the policy that guides ramifications to the current problems to restore the fame that Korea earned as one of the top information technology countries, and that requires a thorough paired comparison analysis between the information technology industries. The paired comparison analysis indicated that the information technology industries generally have had much worse working conditions than non-information technology industries. This research also verified that information technology industries have scored low on the satisfaction to the average working hours, employee welfare, social perception by other industries, the degree of anxiety, and the growth potential compared to the non information technology industries. Data collected during this research is meaningful in a sense that it provides basic yet crucial information that encourages the policies that are in favor of information technology employees to be adopted. The fact that there is a tacit skepticism in improvement of working conditions among the information technology workers supports the adoption of better policies that will improve not only working conditions but also find the solutions to eliminate the sources of insecurity of the retirement in information technology industry.

온실가스 다량 배출로 인한 지구온난화 현상은 많은 분야에서의 변화를 요구하고 있다. 특히 온실가스 배출의 주원인으로 꼽히고 있는 발전 등 에너지산업 분야의 경우 그 요구는 매우 거세다. 과거에는 경제성장이라는 측면만 고려하면 됐지만, 지금은 기후변화 대응을 위해 환경을 최우선적으로 고려할 것을 주문하고 있기 때문이다. 문제는 현재 전 세계적으로 약 20%에 이르는 인구가 전기 에너지를 사용하지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 즉 향후 에너지를 사용하고자 하는 신규 소비자는 더욱 늘 것이고, 산업의 발전으로 인한 에너지 소비 역시 큰 폭으로 증가할 수밖에 없다. 문제가 굉장히 어렵지만 해결책도 분명 존재한다. 결론적으로 말해 온실가스 배출을 최소화하면서도 에너지 효율은 높인 기술을 개발하면 되는 것이다. 그리고 이미 세계 각국은 청정에너지 기술개발을 위해 다각도의 노력을 펼치고 있는 상황이다. 그렇다면 세계 각국은 미래 에너지시장을 선도할 청정에너지 기술로 어떤 것을 꼽고 있을까. 이 질문에 대한 대답은 지난 5월 서울에서 개최된 '제5차 클린에너지장관회의(CEM, Clean Energy Ministerial)'에서 제시된 바 있다. CEM은 한국, 미국, 영국, 독일, 중국, 일본 등 세계 에너지의 70%를 사용하는 주요 국가의 관계 장관들이 모여 클린에너지 공급 확대와 에너지효율 향상을 위한 구체적 액션플랜을 논의하는 자리다. 2010년 미국에서 첫 회의가 열렸고 아랍에미리트, 영국, 인도에 이어 한국은 5번째로 CEM을 개최했다. 특히 이번 CEM에서는 회원국들의 의견을 모아 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술을 최초로 선정, 발표했다. CEM은 "향후 10년 간 에너지 시장의 변화를 선도할 유망 기술을 선정한 것으로 IEA 등 국제기구와 주요국 기술 로드맵을 기준으로 해 23개 회원국 회람을 거쳐 최종 확정하게 됐다"고 배경을 설명했다. 이번에 선정된 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술은 ${\triangle}$초고압직류송전 ${\triangle}$에너지저장장치 ${\triangle}$바이오연료 ${\triangle}$마이크로 그리드 ${\triangle}$탄소포집 및 저장 ${\triangle}$초고효율 태양광 발전 ${\triangle}$해상풍력 ${\triangle}$신재생에너지 하이브리드시스템 ${\triangle}$빅데이터 에너지관리시스템 ${\triangle}$지열 시스템이다. 이와 관련해 산업통상자원부 윤상직 장관은 "이번에 선정된 10개의 기술은 최근의 기술적 정책적 추세가 잘 반영된 결과"라고 평가했다. 특히 윤 장관은 "중앙집중형 공급원에서 분산형 전원으로의 변화, 에너지 효율향상의 중요성, ICT와 융 복합 추세 등 우리나라의 상황에서 시사하는 바가 크다"며 "현재 수립하고 있는 '제3차 국가에너지기술 개발계획'에 이러한 기술적 추세를 반영하겠다"는 의사를 표명했다. 향후 10년 간 에너지시장의 변화를 선도할 10대 청정에너지 유망기술을 자세히 소개한다.

Wireless Mesh Network(WMN) has drawn much attention due to easy deployment and good scalability. Recently, major power utilities have been focusing on R&D to apply WMN technology in Smart Grid Network. Smart Grid is an intelligent electrical power network that can maximize energy efficiency through bidirectional communication between utility providers and customers with ICT(Information Communication Technology). It is necessary to guarantee QoS of some important data in Smart Grid system such as real-time data delivery. In this paper, we suggest QoS enhancement method for WMN based Smart Grid system using IEEE 802.11s. We analyze Smart Grid Application characteristics and apply IEEE 802.11s WMN scheme for Smart Grid in domestic power communication system. Performance evaluation is progressed using NS-2 simulator implementing IEEE 802.11s. The simulation results show that the QoS enhancement scheme can guarantee stable bandwidth irrespective of traffic condition due to IEEE 802.11s reservation mechanism.

While new service development has become one of the most popular topics among practitioners and academics, methodologies development for new service development is only in its infancy. Especially, despite the growing interests in open innovations that effectively utilize external resources for R&D, existing research on new service development methodology designed to use external resources is scant. This article proposes a new methodology to generate new service business models that utilize massive external resources in combination with internal resources using ICT. The "Open Collaboration Innovation Methodology (OCIM)" is built based upon the theory of open innovation model and social psychology theories on behavioral motivation for cooperation. The model begins with the procedures to identify external resources that meet service objectives and requirements, and suggests motivation, control and monitoring mechanisms to implement a new service model. A business case is followed to demonstrate the use of the model. We expect that this model can be practically used by companies that are planning for developing new business models, and will provide a better understanding on open collaboration models, collective intelligence and crowd sourcing models.

The n-type GaN semiconductor has excellent properties as a photoelectrode, but it has disadvantage that its reliability is deteriorated due to the photocorrosion because the oxygen reaction occurs on the surface. For this reason, there are fundamental attempts to avoid photocorrosion reaction of GaN surfaces by using the p-type GaN as a photoelectrode where hydrogen generation reaction occurs on the surface. However, p-type GaN has a problem of low efficiency because of its high resistivity and low hole mobility. In this study, we try to improve the photocurrent efficiency by activation process for the p-type GaN. The p-type GaN was annealed for 1 min. at $500^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere. Hall effect measurement system was used for the electrical properties and potentiostat (PARSTAT4000) was used to measure the photoelectrochemical (PEC) characteristics. Consequently, the photocurrent density was improved more than 1.5 times by improving the activation process for the p-type GaN. Also, its reliability was maintained for 3 hours.

The effects of O₂ plasma pre-treatment and post-annealing conditions on the interfacial adhesion of Ti thin film and WPR dielectric were investigated using 90° peel test for fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP) redistribution layer (RDL) applications. Peel strength between Ti film and WPR dielectric decreased from 8.9±1.3 g/mm to 2.7±0.9 g/mm for variation of O₂ plasma pre-treatment time from 30s to 300s, which is closely related to C-O-C or C=O bonds breakage at the WPR dielectric surface due to excessive plasma pre-treatment conditions. During post-annealing at 150℃, the peel strength abruptly decreased from 0 h to 24 h, and then maintained constant until 100 h, which is also mainly due to the damage of WPR dielectric which is weak to high temperature. Therefore, the optimum plasma pre-treatment conditions on the surface of dielectric is essential to interfacial reliability of FOWLP RDL.

Using information and communication technologies, many firms have increased their productivity. In resource based view, practical use of information and communication technologies is a process of increasing competitive advantage in uncertain environment. However, use of new information and communication technologies does not surely improve the productivity and work efficiency, but sometimes could be a factor to hinder firm performance. Technostress means adverse effect occurring in which the user of new information and communication technologies does not adapt to environment of new technologies. That is, Technostress is a negative impact resulted from using information and communication technologies. This study investigated the effect of technostress on counter-productivity. Unlike the previous studies, this study was made with the survey for firm employees of Daegu region, and both counter-productive work behavior and innovation resistance were used in this study. The empirical result means that technostress positively affects both counter-productive work behavior and innovation resistance. Because technostress increases both counter-productive work behavior and innovation resistance, systematic management for firm employees is needed in time adopting information and communication technologies.

During Khmer Rouge Regime, Cambodian pop music was completely forgotten since 90% of artists were killed. After recovering from war since 1979, the music started to grow again in 1990. However, Cambodian popular music dynamic and flows are observably directed by the multifaceted socioeconomic, political and creative forces. The major problems are the plagiarism and piracy which have been prevailing for years in the industry. Recently, the consciousness of the need to preserve Khmer original songs from both fans and artist have been increased and become a new trend for Cambodia young population. Still, the music quality is in the limit state. To increase the mind-set, the feedbacks and inspiration are needed. The study suggested a music ranking website using sentiment analysis which data were collected from Production Companies Facebook Pages' posts and comments. The study proposed an algorithm which translates from Khmer to English, doing sentiment analysis and generate the ranking. The result showed 80% accuracy of translation and sentiment analysis on the proposed system. The songs that rank high in the system are the songs which are original and fit the occasion in Cambodia. With the proposed ranking algorithm, it would help to increase the competitive advantage of the musical productions as well as to encourage the producers to compose the new songs which fit the particular activities and event.
