경관지수는 면적 및 밀도, 모양, 중심지, 고립 및 접근, 접촉 및 산포, 연결성 등 경관생태의 공간적 구조와 패턴에 관한 다양한 정보를 제공해 준다. 현재 100개 이상의 경관지수가 개발되어 많은 연구들에 이들이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 경관지수는 공간해상도 및 분석범위 등 분석 스케일에 따라 다른 결과를 도출할 수 있어서 오류의 가능성을 가지고 있다. 이 연구는 경관지수의 스케일 민감성을 검토하여 우리나라의 복잡한 경관생태에서 비교적 안정적 결과를 도출하는 지수들을 선별하였다. 이를 위해 서울의 5개 연도 - 1985, 1991, 1996, 2000 및 2003년 - Landsat TM/ETM+ 영상을 이용하여 20 범주의 셀 크기와 41 범주의 분석범위에 대해 FRAGSTATS에 탑재된 54개 클래스 수준 지수의 민감성을 검토하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 54개 클래스 수준 지수 중 19개 지수가 스케일 변화에 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 단편화 정도가 지수의 민감성에 영향을 미치며, 녹지비율 $40{\sim}50%$를 기준으로 지수반응 패턴이 변하는 현상이 발견되었다. 셋째, 국내 관련연구에서 빈번히 이용된 16개 지수 중 6개만이 우리나라의 복잡한 경관생태에서 안정적인 결과를 도출하였는데, 이는 단편화 정도 및 녹지비율에 따라 세심한 지수 선정이 필요함을 보여주고 있다.

Some new topological indices based on the distance matrix and Randic connectivity (as graph invariants) are proposed. The calculation of these indices is simple and they have good discriminating ability toward alkanes. Incorporating the number of carbon atoms to one of the calculated indices gives a highly correlating topological index (Sh index) which found to correlate with selected physicochemical properties of wide range of alkanes, specially, their boiling points. Most of the investigated properties are well modeled (with $r^2$> 0.99) by the Sh index. Meanwhile, the resulting regressions were compared with the results based on the well-established Randic and newly reported Xu indices and, in most cases, better results were obtained by the Sh index. Moreover, multiple linear regression analysis of the alkane properties via calculated indices gives highly correlating models with low standard errors.

In this study we have investigated the preceding eighteen large-scale climate indices with a lead time from zero to twelve months that have an influence on the variability of temperature and precipitation in Korea in order to understand which climate indices are overall available as predictors for long-range forecasting. We also have studied the dynamic link between preceding large-scale climate indices and regional climate using singular value decomposition analysis (SVDA) and correlation analysis (CA). Based on the coupled mode between large-scale circulation and regional climate, and correlation pattern between the preceding large-scale climate indices and large-scale circulation, the level of significance on climate indices as a predictor for monthly mean temperature and precipitation was evaluated for 5 and 1% level.

The present paper computes the refractive indices of different corona viruses (H5N1, H5N2, H9N2, H4N6, FAdV and IBV) through reflectance analysis of a virus solution. The computational analysis indicates that the refractive indices of all viruses are negative at the signal of 412 nm. Further the numerical output shows that the infectious bronchitis viruses (family of novel corona viruses, COVID-19) have higher negative refractive indices as compared to other corona viruses. Finally refractive indices of the family of COVID-19 are investigated with respect to the EID (Electronic infusion Device) concentration of the viruses, showing that the refractive index which ranges from "-0.96725 to -0.999998" corresponds to '0.01 to 10000' EID virus concentration.

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities collected from eight different streams in South Korea were analyzed to compare community and biological indices across different levels of water pollution. The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was utilized to provide overview on association of the proposed indices. The sample sites were accordingly clustered according to the gradient of pollution on the SOM. While the general trends of the indices were commonly observable according to different levels of pollution, the detailed differences among the indices were also illustrated on the SOM. The conventional diversity and evenness indices tended to be high even though the water quality state was poor representing relatively weak gradient at polluted sites, while the index presenting the saprobic degree such as family biotic index showed the stronger gradient at the polluted area and was robust to present the gradient. Our results also confirmed the general characterization of two indices: The Shannon index is more strengthened by the number of species occurring at the sample sites, while the Simpson index is more influenced by the degree of evenness among the species. The patterning based on the SOM was efficient in comparatively characterizing the proposed indices to present ecological states and water quality.

R$\ddot{o}$hrer index, Vervaeck index and Body Mass Index(BMI) are frequently used in order to judge obese subjects in clothing & textiles field. However, there are no certain criteria of judging the degree of obesity. Each researcher utilized these obesity indices according to their own criteria so far. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to suggest a reliable obesity index and new criteria for judging the degree of obesity. The results are as follows; Utilizing frequency analysis, main percentiles, minimums, maximums and ranges were presented by 5 age groups from twenties to sixties. Obesity rates dramatically increased, the subject got older. Especially, obesity rate of the subjects in their fifties and sixties were much higher than other age groups. 1.6 & higher can be used in the R$\ddot{o}$hrer index, 98 & higher can be used in the Vervaeck index, and 25 & higher can be used in the BMI as the Optimal criteria of the obesity. Total of 24 body measurements and 3 obesity indices were used for analyzing the correlation analysis. All heights measurements showed negative correlation with the 3 obesity indices. It is determined heights measurements have high correlation with R$\ddot{o}$hrer index compare to other indices. Crotch height, interscye back, neck shoulder point to breast point, bust circumference, waist circumference, upper arm circumference and armscye circumference have high positive correlation with all obesity indices. According to the ANOVAs by each percentile group of the R$\ddot{o}$hrer and Vervaeck indices, there are big significances in all measurements and obesity indices except arm length. In general, heights decreased significantly by getting bigger, while circumferences and lengths, widths and indices increased rapidly by getting bigger. The results of the analysis by each percentile group in the BMI, it showed the significant differences in the all measurements except cervical height and arm length. There were similar tendency of differences according to the degree of the obesity in BMI percentile groups. It was confirmed that the BMI is the most reliable index for judging the obesity owing to the high correlations and significant differences with other measurements.

biotic indices scoring with the benthic macroinvertebrates were assessed as pollution monitoring tools in the north branch of the Han River system, Korea. We investigated the temporal variability of water quality at unpolluted, moderately polluted and heavily polluted sites using several biotic indices and assessed appropriate biological monitoring indices for lotic systems in Korea. The following biotic and chemical indices were employed in order to compare their applicability to the lotic systems : Trent Biotic Index (TBI), Chandler's Biotic Index-Average Score per Taxon (CBI-ASPT), Modified Biological Monitoring Working Party Score System-Average Score per Taxon (BMWP-ASPT), Hilsenhoff's biotic Index (BI) and Family-level Biotic Index (FBI) models for biotic analyses and National Sanitation foundation's Water Quality Index (NSFWQI) and comprehensive Chemical Pollution Index (Pb/n) for chemical analyses of water quality. Index and score values were compared with each other and with 24 water chemistry parameters. All biotic indices were significantly auto-correlated (p<0.001) and BI and FBI/ROK among them were highly correlated (r=0.84). BI and BMWP-ASPT models were also highly correlated with NSFWQI, while TBI values showed high correlation with the Pb/n. The BI and BMWP-ASPT were highly correlated with the most water chemistry parameters. We conclude that the BI model, which includes indicator species and abundance of taxa, is best suited for the bioassessment of lotic systems in Korea. For rapid field-based assessments, FBI/ROK and BMWP-ASPT models are also appropriate.

This study aims to revisit the issues and misconceptions about financial inclusion (FI) indices. For indices construction, this study uses two approaches: one approach following the methodology of Sarma (2008) which is based on UNDP methodology, while the other is the Dynamic Factor Model (DFM)-based index of Stock and Watson (2002) and Rehman et al. (2021). The data of 18 economies of Asia from 1997 till 2017 is used for indices construction and analysis. The authors constructed macro and micro-level financial inclusion indices based on the different types of financial inclusion indicators. Second, the authors have critically evaluated two different approaches, and the results show that Sarma (2008)-based index show financial inclusion's level, while DFM-based index reveal fluctuation in the current year's financial inclusion level due to the prior variations. For measuring the level of financial inclusion, the Sarma (2008) index is effective, while for forecasting the level of financial inclusion, the DFM approach is more appropriate. Furthermore, the micro and macro aspects of financial inclusion should be reflected in separate indices for better understanding and in-depth insights.

본 연구에서는 국내외 산불위험지수들의 국내 적용성에 대해 평가하였다. 이를 위해, 먼저, 전 세계적으로 많이 사용되는 산불위험지수들을 소개하고 그 계산 과정을 비교하였다. 이후 실제 국내 산불 발생 건수의 경년 변동 및 계절적 변동 경향을 각 산불위험지수의 적용 결과와 비교하였다. 마지막으로, 향후 국내에 적용 가능한 지수들을 선정하고 그 적용성을 높일 수 있는 보완 방향을 제시하였다. 고려한 산불위험지수는 미국에서 개발된 MI, KBDI, FFWI, mFFWI, 러시아에서 개발된 NI, ZhI, MNI, 그리고 국내에서 개발된 DWI 등이다. 본 연구의 대상지역으로 동해안 지역을 선정하였으며, 산불 발생 건수는 산림청에서 제공하는 산림통계연보를 참고하였다. 연구결과 대부분의 산불위험지수는 경년변동 정도가 크지 않아 실제 산불 발생 건수를 잘 나타내지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 대부분의 산불위험지수가 월 변동은 잘 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 산불위험지수와 실제 산불 발생 건수의 상관분석 결과 최종적으로 동해안 지역에 적합한 지수로 mFFWI, MI, ZhI, DWI 등을 선정하였다. 그러나 이들 지수는 현재 상태로 국내 산불 발생을 적절히 나타낸다고 판단하기는 어려우며 추가의 보완이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 지수별로 보완되어야 할 부분도 각각 다르며, 따라서 이들에 대한 평가도 보완이 수행된 이후에야 가능할 것으로 보인다.
