The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of logical thinking and scientific reasoning pattern of Korean high school students. To carry out this study subjects were selected about 2,000 Junior high school students, and about 4,100 senior high school students throughout the nation. They were identified as concrete, transitional or formal operational stage with the use of TOLT(the Test of Logical Thinking) by Tobin and Capie(1980), and TOSR(the Test of Scientific Reasoning) by W.A Farmer(1986). This study turned out that more than 76% of Junior high school students were classified as the concrete operational stage and about 44% of senior high school students were classified as the formal operational stage, while about 26% of them were still in the concrete operational level. This study showed that the main factor of the intellectual development of students is learning by the gradual advancement of their grades and especially entrance into the senior high school rather than by the physical growth. This study also showed that there are the take-off stage of the development of logical thinking between fourteen and fifteen years of their ages. Less than 25% of junior high school students were in the formal operational stages which are capable of control of variables, probabilistic, correlation and combinational logic in problem-solving situation, while 33-54% of senior high school students were in the formal operational levels. 38% of junior high school students were in the formal operational stage which is capable of proportional logic, while about 55% of senior high school students were in the formal operational stage. Less than 20% of senior high school students were classified as group of highly capable of scientific reasoning, while more than 23% of them were classified as group of poor capability. It also turned out that there are differences or no differences between male and female students of each school in problem-solving situation regarding each logic approach. These differences were proved to be fluctuating depending on the situations and their grades. The other results of this study is similar to those of other researches such as Tomlinson-Keasey 1972, Coleman 1973, Lawson 1973, Lawson and Renner 1974, Neimark 1975, Han 1982, and Kim 1989.

본 연구는 2000년부터 2019년까지 7종의 KCI 등재지에 게재된 3,114편의 수학교육 논문와 5종의 SSCI 등재지에 게재된 1,636편의 수학교육 논문의 연구 동향을 텍스트 마이닝 기술의 하나인 토픽모델링을 사용하여 비교·분석하였다. 연구 결과, 국내외 수학교육 연구는 16개의 유사한 주제와 7개의 상이한 주제로 분류할 수 있었다. 연구 결과, 예비교사와 관련된 주제는 국내와 해외 수학교육 연구에서 모두 높은 비중을 차지하고 있는 연구주제였다. 현직교사 재교육에 관한 연구주제는 국내 연구에서는 하나의 독립된 주제로 나타나지 않았지만, 해외 연구에서 많은 관심을 받는 주제로 나타났다. 해외 수학교육 연구에 비해 국내에서는 수학적 역량에 관한 연구의 관심이 높았지만, 이는 문제해결역량과 창의·융합역량에 치중되는 경향이 있었다. 반면, 해외 수학교육에서는 정체성과 공정성에 관한 연구가 강조되었다.

본 논문에서는 비선형 전달 특성을 갖는 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭의 영향을 최소화시킬 수 있는 S-MMA (Sliced-Multi Modulus Algorithm) 등화 알고리즘에 가변 스텝 크기를 적용하여 등화 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 MMA 알고리즘에서 정상 상태에서 등화 성능과 misadjustment를 개선하기 위하여 S-MMA가 등장하였으며, 이들 알고리즘에서는 오차 신호의 크기에 따른 고정 스텝 크기로 적응하기 때문에 성능 개선에 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 극복하기 위하여 제안 알고리즘에서는 오차 신호의 크기에 비례하는 가변 스텝 크기를 적용하며, 개선 효과를 보이기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 제안 VSS S-MMA 알고리즘이 기존 S-MMA보다 등화 성능이 우월함을 확인하였다.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of male breast cancer patients in Serbia, and furthermore to determine overall survival and predictive factors for prognosis. Materials and Methods: In the period of 1996-2006 histopathological diagnosis of breast cancer was made in 84 males at the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia. For statistical analyses the Kaplan-Meier method, long-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used. Results: The mean age at diagnosis with breast cancer was $64.3{\pm}10.5$ years with a range from 35-84 years. Nearly 80% of the tumors showed ductal histology. About 44% had early tumor stages (I and II) whereas 46.4% and 9.5% of the male exhibitied stages III and IV, respectively. Only 7.1% of male patients were grade one. One-fifth of all patients had tumors measuring ${\leq}2cm$, and 14.3% larger than 5 cm. Lymph node metastasis was recorded in 40.4% patients and 47% relapse. Estrogen and progesterone receptor expression was positive in 66.7% and 58.3%, respectively. Among 14.3% of individuals tumor was HER2 positive. About two-thirds of all male patients had radical mastectomy (66.7%). Adjuvant hormonal (tamoxifene), systematic chemotherapy (CMF or FAC) and adjuvant radiotherapy were given to 59.5%, 35.7% and 29.8% patients respectively. Overall survival rates at five and ten years for male breast cancer were 55.0% and 43.9%, respectively. According to the multivariate Cox regression predictive model, a lower initial disease stage, a lower tumor grade, application of adjuvant hormone therapy and no relapse occurrence were significant independent predictors for good overall survival. Conclusions: Results of the treatment would be better if disease is discovered earlier and therefore health education and screening are an imperative in solving this problem.
