Since the introduction of teaching English as a regular subject into primary schools in 1997, it has been said that the discrepancy between students who are receiving private instruction at learning institutions and private tutoring and those who are not receiving private English instruction is steadily increasing. The purpose of this study was to investigate what impact private English instruction had on English achievement and attitudes of fifth- and sixth-grade students in primary schools. For this purpose, an English achievement test was developed based on the 7th National Curriculum and administered, along with two attitude questionnaires: One questionnaire was administered to 696 fifth- and sixth-grade primary school students, and the other questionnaire given to 12 primary school teachers of the students. The results showed that students started learning English at the average age 7.9-years-old and about 80% of the students were receiving a variety of private English instruction. In line with expectations, tutored students outperformed non-tutored students on the English achievement test. In addition most of the teachers, as well as students, thought it helpful to learn English through private English instruction. One implication from the results suggests that to ensure quality English language teaching at public schools, the government should put forth efforts to nurture qualified English teachers through intensive teacher training.

Since the teaching of English was introduced into the primary school as a required subject in 1997, no achievement test has been administered for the purpose of comparing English achievement of primary school students who are receiving private instruction with that of those who are not. The purpose of this study was to investigate what impact private instruction had on English achievement of third- and fourth-year students in the primary school. For this purpose, an English achievement test was developed based on the 7th national curriculum and two questionnaires were administered: one questionnaire among 743 third- and fourth-year primary school students and the other among 22 primary school teachers. The results showed that students who were receiving private instruction outperformed those who were not on the English achievement test and that teachers had difficulty in handling English class due to the discrepancy of overall English proficiency between tutored students and non-tutored students. The findings suggest that teacher training needs to be intensified to ensure quality English language teaching in the primary school.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to compare the sensory-based behaviors of young children with and without cerebral palsy as reported by their parents on the Short Sensory Profile.Method : Short Sensory Profile questionnaire was completed by parents of 59 children with cerebral palsy 1 through 9 years of age and parents of 129 children without cerebral palsy 1 through 6 years of age.Results : The performance of children with cerebral palsy was significantly different form that of children without cerebral palsy on 4 of 7 factors. Factors were difference found included Movement Sensitivity, Auditory Filtering, Low Energy/Weak, Visual/Auditory Sensitivity. Conclusion : Finding from the study suggest that young children with cerebral palsy have probable deficit in a variety of sensory processing abilities as measured by the Short Sensory Profile. The Short Sensory Profile can provide information about the sensory processing skills of children with cerebral palsy to assist occupational therapist in assessing and planning inter-vention for these children.

Thumb adduction is an abnormal pattern typically noted in children with spastic cerebral palsy. This abnormal pattern can limit hand function, specifically in the type and quality of prehension pattern used and in the coordination of release. This ABAB single-subject research was designed to examine the effects of short thumb opponens splint on hand function in cerebral palsy. The subject was a 4 years and 8 months old boy with right upper extremity spasticity. The child was fitted with a short thumb opponens splint, which was worn for 8 hours per day during the daytime. Two different measures were used: (a) prehension component scores; (b) Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor proficiency. Data was collected three times a week for 10 weeks. Visual analysis of data indicate that after the application of a short thumb opponens splint, improvements were noted in the prehension pattern and fine motor functional task. The results of this study suggest that short thumb opponens splint may prove efficaciousness in the treatment of the child with cerebral palsy.

Analytical method for saccharin in foods was developed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS). Methylation with diazomethane, acetylation with MBTFA, and silylation with MSTFA and MTBSTFA were compared. Methylation of saccharin produced N- methylated saccharin as the major product and O-methylated saccharin as the minor one. Silylation of saccharin with MSTFA and MTBSTFA resulted in the formation of the corresponding O-silylated products, respectively. The derivatization of saccharin was optimized with MSTFA. The ions at m/z 240, 255, and 166 were monitored to characterize saccharin.

Analytical method for synephrine and octopamine in citrus fruits, drinks containing citrus fruit, and human urine was developed using gas chromatography / mass spectrometry(GC/MS). Silylation with MSTFA, acetylation with MBTFA, and trimethylailylation with MSTFA followed by tritluoroacetylation with MBTFA were compared. The selective derivatization of aynephrine and octopamine was optimized with two derivatizing reagents ; MSTFA and MBTFA. The ion at mlz 267 was monitored to characterize the benzyl group of the both compounds. Synephrine was detected in the concentrations of 0.46-1.88 ug/g for citrus fruits and 1.2-8.1 ug/ml for drinks. The urinary excretion data of aynephrine showed the highest concentration at the period of 8-20 hours after drinking orange juices and total amounts of its urinary excretion calculated as a parent compound was 11-14% of a dose during 48 hours. Octopamine was not detected in citrus fruits, drinks, and human urine.

In recent years, Korean traditional culture has been reviewed in many ways. And Great efforts have been made to form a culture suitable for the Koreans. With these tendencies, the interest in Korean traditional foods has been greater. So this paper is intended to identify and analyze the kinds, materials and cooking processes of the rice cakes needed for ancestral worship rites in the court of Choson Dynasty. The work is centered around the Tae-sang-ji written by Lee kun-myong in 1873-the 10th year since king kojong's coming to the throne. And we study such literatures on foods and cooking processes as Kyugon-si-ui-bang, Yo-rok, Jungbo-Sallim-Kyungjae, Kyuhap-Chongso, Si-ui-jon-so and so on. The results are compared and analyzed. Cooking processes and materials of Korean rice cakes in Choson Dynasty were various and had traditional characteristics. Rice cakes necessarily needed for various rites were called pyun especially when they were used for ancestral worship. And many different kinds of Pyun were used according to seasons. There were nineteen kinds of rice cakes used for ancestral worship in the court: Gu-i-Byung, Bun-ja-Byung, Baek-Byung and so on. The six; Gu-i-Byung, Bun-ja-Byung, Sam-sik-Byung, Yi-sik-Byung, Baek-Byung and Huk Byung were essential for the great rites at Jong-myo and Young-nyung-Jeon and so they were highly thought of. Main materials of these six were rice, glutinousrice, sorghum and wheat flour. Cooking processes of the rice cakes above mentioned can be classified into frying, beating, boiling, steaming, etc. Powder for covering rice cakes was made of bean, pine nut, sesame and red bean, of which bean was made the greatest use of. If was very wise of them to use these kinds of powder, for they supply protein and lipid of which rice cakes are destitute and they also add colors and good tastes to rice cakes. But Korean traditional rice cakes are less used as the thought of rites has changed and various kinds of desserts have been developed. And yet there is no denying the fact that even now rice cakes play a great role in traditional formalities.

본 연구는 TOPLATS 지표해석모형의 물수지와 에너지수지 해석에 따른 수문기상성분 비교를 통해 그 적용성을 평가하 는데 목적이 있다. 대상지역은 낙동강유역을 선정하였으며 2003∼2012년에 대해 1시간, 1 km의 고해상도 수문기상성분을 산출하였다. 안동댐과 합천댐유역의 관측 일/월단위 댐유입량과 모의유량 비교하여 두 유역의 모의치가 관측값과 유사함을 보였다. 또한 C3와 C4지점의 에너지성분에 대한 Diurnally 분석을 수행한 결과 에너지수지 해석에 따른 순복사량, 현열, 잠열의 일중 변화패턴이 물수지 결과에 비해 정확도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 C4지점의 순복사량과 잠열의 평균제곱근 오차는 각각 22.18 W/m2와 7.27 W/m2로 매우 낮게 나타났다. 여름철과 겨울철의 계절평균 토양수분과 증발산량은 각각 36.80%, 33.08%와 222.40 mm, 59.95 mm로 산정되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 고해상도의 수문기상성분 모의 시 에너지수지 해석방법을 이용하는 것이 더 합리적인 것으로 판단되며 본 연구 결과는 공간수문기상정보를 활용한 홍수 및 가뭄 등의 재해기상 감시 및 예측에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
