The purpose of this study were to measure brand personalities of deluxe hotels in Seoul, and to identify the difference of brand personality between local and international hotels. The questionnaires developed for this study were distributed to 460 employees in kitchen and F&B departments of 11 deluxe hotels in Seoul. A total of 398 questionnaires were used for anaylsis(86.5%) and the statistical analyses were completed using SPSS Win(12.0) for descriptive analysis, reliability analysis and t-test, and AMOS(5.0) for confirmatory factor analysis. The results of this study showed that deluxe hotels have brand personalities relatively strong at 'affection', 'sophistication', 'competence' dimensions, and there was a significant difference by hotel nationality. The brand personality scores of international brand hotels perceived by employees were high at the 'excitement'(p<0.001), 'sophistication'(p<0.001), and 'competence'(p<0.01) dimensions, whereas local hotels were considered more obedient(p<0.01). Overall, it could be a key factor for successful brand management that establish a distinctive brand personality, and a localized brand personality measure will lead to more desirable decision making.

The purposes of this study were to measure the job satisfaction levels of F&B(Food & Beverage) personnel in hotel by using JDI(Job Descriptive Index), to investigate relationships between demographic variables or job type and job satisfaction, to determine the relative importance of the five facets and to identify the effects of job satisfaction on turnover intention by hotel. Questionnaire was developed and distributed to 660 employees who are currently working in food & beverage department of hotel A (Domestic independent deluxe hotel) and hotel B(international chain deluxe hotel). A total of 498 questionnaires were usable; resulting in 75.5% response rate. The survey was conducted between March 16 to 27, 2000. As a result of analysis on job satisfaction, total JDI score was 136.57 out of full mark 210. Personnel of Hotel A was more satisfied significantly with work itself (p<.01), supervision (p<.001), co-worker (p<.01), total JDI (p<.001) than those of hotel B. Total JDI and work itself score were higher on employees of front of the house than those of back of the house in both of hotels. Payroll was the most important facet on job satisfaction. Finally, work itself (p<.001) and payroll (p<.05) had a significant effect on turnover intention in hotel A and work itself (p<.001), supervision (p<.05) and promotion (p<.05) did in hotel B. The findings indicated the necessity of human resource management apt to the vision of enterprise and the organizational culture.

최근에 "선박의 밸러스트수와 침전물의 제어 및 관리를 위한 국제협약 "이 채택되면서 국내에서도 이 국제협약을 수용하기 위한 방안이 필요하다. 외국의 밸러스트수 제어/관리 동향을 살펴보고, 국내의 환경관계법규들을 비교·검토함으로써 밸러스트수관리협약을 수용하기 위한 국내 입법화 방안을 제시하였다.

제7차 교육과정에 따라서 집필된 지구과학 I, II 교과서와 국내외 각종 지구과학 교재의 지질 연대 자료를 검토하였다. 지구과학 I, II 교과서의 자료는 대부분 최신의 자료가 아니며, 많은 자료들은 지질학 원론과 지구과학 개론 등의 국내 대학 교재에 제시된 수 십년 전의 자료를 그대로 따랐다. 또한 외국 대학의 지구과학 또는 지질학 개론서의 경우에서도 유사하게 수 십년 전의 자료를 제시하고 있다. 최근 국제 층서 위원회(ICS)에 의하여 연구 제시된 국제 층서 챠트(ICS 2000), 국제 지질 연대표(IGTS 2003) 및 지질 연대표(GTS 2004) 등의 많은 새로운 자료들이 제시되어 있다. 새로운 자료 중에서 중요한 것들에는 신생대의 고제3기와 신제3기, 석탄기의 미시시피아세와 펜실베니아세, 원생이언의 고원생대, 중원생대 및 신원생대 그리고 시생이언의 시시생대, 고시생대, 중시생대 및 신시생대를 들 수 있다. 이들 새로운 지질 연대 자료는 새로운 지구과학 교과서 집필시 인용되어야 할 것이다.

Ministry of Justice in Korea established an 『Act of International Transfers of Prisoners』 in December 2003 and joined to the 『Convention of the Transfer of Sentenced Persons』 agreed by Council of Europe this year. This will enable Korean government to bring Korean nationals who serve their criminal sentences in foreign countries into Korea and, at the same time, to transfer foreign prisoners who serve their sentences in Korean facilities to their homeland. The purpose of the international transfers of prisoners is to bring the nationals who serve their criminal sentences in foreign countries into the homeland to minimize the suffering from cultural differences such as language, food and custom that exacerbate the harshness of confinement. The procedures of international transfer of prisoners can be summarized as follows; First, the prisoners must give an agreement on their transfer to the homeland. Second, the offence that resulted in a given sentence in a foreign country must also constitute an offence by a relevant domestic law Third, two corresponding countries must agree on the transfer of prisoner on an individual basis. Fourth, after transferring to the homeland, the prisoner must serve the remainder of his sentence in a domestic facility. Finally, the decisions of release on parole or pardon must rely on the domestic legal criteria. By introducing the system of transfer of prisoners among different countries, correctional policy in Korea shows a great advance in terms of the values of rehabilitation and reintegration as well as protections of prisoner's rights. Not only practitioners but also scholars in this field should show their interests in this subject.

도시철도시스템은 차량, 전력, 신호, 선로구축물 등이 유기적으로 결합된 복합시스템으로 고장 또는 사고가 발생하면 원인규명이 어렵고 사고에 따른 영향이 매우 크기 때문에 시스템의 신뢰성과 안전성은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 철도에서 적용되고 있는 신뢰성관련 국제 규격을 분석하여 국내에서 개발하고 있는 무인운전 도시철도시스템에 이러한 규격들의 내용들을 충족하는 관리체계를 제시하고자 한다. 즉 기존에 적용하고 있는 신뢰성 관리체계인 IEC 60300, IEC 62278, MIL-STD-785B 등의 특성과 장점을 비교분석하여 도시철도시스템에 구체적으로 적용할 수 있는 신뢰성관리체계를 제시하고자 한다.

Simultaneous observations of MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) onboard the Aqua and Terra satellites and weather station at ground near the Inchon International Airport (37.2-37.7 N, 125.7-127.2 E) during the period from December 2002 to September 2004 have been utilized in order to analyze the characteristics of satellite-observed infrared (IR) and visible data under fog and clear-sky conditions, respectively. The differences (T3.7-11) in brightness temperature between 3.75μm and 11.0μm were used as threshold values for remote-sensing fog (or low clouds) from satellite during day and night. The T3.7-11 value during daytime was greater by about 21 K when it was foggy than that when it was clear, but during nighttime fog it was less by 1.5 K than during nighttime clear-sky. The value was changed due to different values of emission of fog particles at the wavelength. Since the near-IR channel at 3.7μm was affected by solar and IR radiations in the daytime, both IR and visible channels (or reflectance) have been used to detect fog. The reflectance during fog was higher by 0.05-0.6 than that during clear-sky, and varied seasonally. In this study, the threshold values included uncertainties when clouds existed above a layer of fog.

국제천문올림피아드(International Astronomy Olympiad, IAO)는 유로-아시안 천문학회에서 청소년들에게 천문학지식의 확산, 교육 분야의 국제교류 증진, 과학과 인간 문화의 모든 분야에서 천문학의 중요성을 인식시키기 위하여 국제천문올림피아드를 설립하고 국제올림피아드 설립에 관한 규정을 공포하였다. 1996년, 제1회 국제천문올림피아드를 러시아 북 코카서스 지방에 잇는 러시아 과학원 전문천체물리천문대(Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of sciences, SAO RAS)에서 시범 개최한 이후, 매년 개최하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국제천문올림피아드의 역대 결과 및 기구, 조직, 실행에 대한 국제천문올림피아드 규정을 중심으로 논의한다. 또한 국제천문올림피아드 문제에 대한 인지적 측면에서 과학지식과 과학적 사고력으로 분류하였다. 과학적 지식의 하위요소로 내용지식, 방법지식, 지식본성 이해로 분유하고, 과학적 사고력의 하위 요소는 수렴적 사고력과 발산적 사고력으로 분유하고 각 세부 요소를 고려하여 실행하였다. 이 분석을 통하여 국제천문올림피아드에 대한 이해화 한국 천문 올림피아드의 방향을 설정할 수 있었다.
