While a range of natural organic matter (NOM) types can generate high levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after chlorination, there is little understanding of which specific compounds act as precursors. Use of eight model compounds allows linking of explicit properties to treatability and DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The removal of model compounds by various treatment processes and their haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) before and after treatment were recorded. The model compounds comprised a range of hydrophobic (HPO) and hydrophilic (HPI) neutral and anionic compounds. On the treatment processes, an ozone oxidation process was moderate for control of model compounds, while the HPO-neutral compound was most treatable with activated carbon process. Biodegradation was successful in removing amino acids, while coagulation and ion exchange process had little effect on neutral molecules. Although compared with the HPO compounds the HPI compounds had low HAAFP the ozone oxidation and biodegradation were capable of increasing their HAAFP. In situations where neutral or HPI molecules have high DBPFP additional treatments may be required to remove recalcitrant NOM and control DBPs.

The purpose of this study was to develop an inquiry-based professional development program for in-service secondary science teachers and to investigate it's application. The inquiry-based professional development program was reconstructed based on SSCS problem-solving model, which is composed of 4 stages of search, solve, create, and share. The 28 science teachers' understanding of the SSCS program were investigated as implementing the program. As a result of this study, 8 SSCS modules have developed as the science teachers have searched, solved, created, and shared various situated problems. The science teachers found themselves to have positive perception of SSCS program. The SSCS program was effective in changing the learners' teaching/learning attitude and to develop individual scientific thinking. To make the SSCS problem solving successful and more effective, both science teachers' professionalism and pedagogical knowledge for selecting topic as the levels of learner should be considered.

The objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the contents of chemical composition (chlorogenic acids, caffeine, free acids, and free sugars) and 2) to evaluate the sensory attributes (sourness, bitterness, and sweetness) of brewed coffee as affected by two roasting conditions such as varied in the roasting time with the same roasting temperature (RT) and with same color and yield (CY). Quantitative analysis of chemical components was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was conducted to analyze sensory attributes. Based on the results of chemical analysis, chlorogenic acids were significantly different (p<0.05) in the short term roasted samples (RT 240 and CY 240), but there was no significant difference in caffeine contents (p>0.05). Organic acid levels were different between RT and CY coffee samples. RT 240 coffee had the most level in organic acids and the longer the roasting time of coffee, the lesser the level of organic acids in coffee was found. However, there was no significant difference in CY coffee (p>0.05). The results of sensory evaluations show that the degree of roasting changed according to the roasting time despite of the roasting temperature. Long term (RT 80) coffee was relatively bitter while short term (RT 240) coffee was relatively sweeter. Also, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the sensory characteristics (bitterness and sweetness) of CY coffee although they were roasted at different temperatures. Therefore, the current study concluded that better understanding of proper roasting time and temperature improves the quality of brewed coffee.

The purpose of this study is to find out differences on self-determination experiences according to livings in the different types of residential homes: large institutions, small group homes and independent living homes. For this, this study analyzed 17 living experiences, which came from interviews on 9 research participants lived in residential homes. Some of 9 research participants had experience living in only one type of residential homes; others had experiences living in two or three types of residential homes. The result of this study revealed the different levels of self-determination experiences according to the each types of residential homes. In terms of degree of self-determination, its level in the small group homes are higher than large institutions; independent living homes are higher than the small group homes. By this finding, this paper raised the need for the policy changes on residential home for the disabled people to accelerate deinstitutionalization and make sure higher level of self-determination of disabled people. This study suggested other implications related to the research on intellectually disabled people. Firstly, evaluative researches on service provisions to intellectually disabled people should reflect subjective experiences of service users. Secondly, diverse researches focusing on subjective experiences should be tried to expand understanding on intellectually disabled people. In these studies, conversation analysis could be widely used.

As the needs of library users change diversely along with the rapid developments and changes in society, libraries have gone beyond the traditional role of providing, gathering, organizing and preserving materials and information to provide various program services in culture, interests, and practicality that accommodate cultural and educational needs. Public libraries, in particular, are reflecting their role as the representative educational and cultural institutions of the community and following social changes to expand the role of libraries and manage various programs. This study aims to vitalize adult-targeted programs in representative Seoul libraries by understanding the current situation of the aforementioned programs through the past five years, and ran a survey on the satisfaction levels of those who are in charge of the programs and those who utilize the programs. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively analyze the improvements needed for running the programs and the demands of users in order to propose ways to activate library programs for adults.

Homeostatic imbalance between cell proliferation and death in gastric mucosal epithelia may lead to gastritis and gastric cancer. Despite abundant gastrokine 1 (GKN1) expression in the normal stomach, the loss of GKN1 expression is frequently detected in gastric mucosa infected with Helicobacter pylori, as well as in intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer tissues, suggesting that GKN1 plays an important role in gastric mucosal defense, and the gene functions as a gastric tumor suppressor. In the stomach, GKN1 is involved in gastric mucosal inflammation by regulating cytokine production, the nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ signaling pathway, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression. GKN1 also inhibits the carcinogenic potential of H. pylori protein CagA by binding to it, and up-regulates antioxidant enzymes. In addition, GKN1 reduces cell viability, proliferation, and colony formation by inhibiting cell cycle progression and epigenetic modification by down-regulating the expression levels of DNMT1 and EZH2, and DNMT1 activity, and inducing apoptosis through the death receptor-dependent pathway. Furthermore, GKN1 also inhibits gastric cancer cell invasion and metastasis via coordinated regulation of epithelial mesenchymal transition-related protein expression, reactive oxygen species production, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activation. Although the modes of action of GKN1 have not been clearly described, recent limited evidence suggests that GKN1 acts as a gastricspecific tumor suppressor. This review aims to discuss, comment, and summarize the recent progress in the understanding of the role of GKN1 in gastric cancer development and progression.

Between 1980 and 1997 the Korean textile and clothing industry (KTCI) experienced the transformation of export-led accumulation regime rooted in domestically-derived price competitiveness into the combination between foreign mass production involving the geographical extension of productive forces and quality strategy based on upgrading technology and automation involved in the domestic market for high quality and price products. This restructuring of the KTCI is rooted at the crisis in the export-led growth regime implemented unity 1980 due to the rapid increase in wage levels by the ‘great labour movement’occurred in 1987. In particular, increased wage and collective bargaining realized through labour empowerment led to the crisis in the conjoin between mass production and mass export based on long working hours and low wage structure. The aim of this paper is to explore the transformation of development modes between 1980 and 1997 that can help us in understanding the fundamental reasons for the restructuring of the KTCI. To this end, the paper identifiles the changing accumulation regimes between 1980 and 1997 mediated by wage-labour relations, inter-firm relations and state-film relations, which are insitutional forms of the modes of regulation.
