Ko, Bo-Ai. 2018. “Thematic Patterns in Formal Email Writing of Korean EFL College Learners”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 26(1). 31~59. This study explores the Theme types and the thematic progression in the formal email writings of Korean EFL college learners, based on the Theme-Rheme analytical framework of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). Data was collected from 99 college students, enrolled in an English Writing Composition course during the second semester of 2017 via a cyber university in Korea. Their main writing activity involved email writings in the form of requesting primarily based on the Genre Approach. Text analysis was conducted with the comparison of the high- scoring group (15), the medium-scoring group (15) and the low-scoring group (15), based on assessment of the course assignment. Employing the coding step of identifying the Theme and Rheme of each T-unit, the text analysis sought to figure out which Theme types were used for each T-unit and which thematic progression patterns were used for overall text flow and cohesion. The key finding was that there were certain discourse-specific thematic patterns of formal email writing. Among the range of thematic features, this study will highlight marked Themes, interpersonal Themes and thematic choices of nominalization for the purpose of formal email writing texts.

The distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates was investigated at 1,157 sites of 7 main water systems in Korea, including 442 sites of Han River system (Namhan River, Bukhan River, Han River main stream, Anseongcheon, etc.), 305 sites of Nakdong River system (Nakdong River, Hyeongsan River, Taehwa River, etc.), 199 sites of Geum River system (Geum River, Sapgyocheon, Mangyeong River, Dongjin River, etc.) 102 sites of Seomjin River system (Seomjin River), 102 sites of Yeongsan River system (Yeongsan River, Tamjin River, etc.), and 7 sites of Jeju stream system. A total of 151 families were found in the whole survey sites, including 141 families in Han River, 122 in Nakdong River, 115 in Geum River, 106 in Seomjin River, 113 in Yeongsan River, and 50 in Jeju. Chironomidae (20.8%) was the most dominant species in Korea, followed by Hydropsychidae (17.1%), Baetidae (12.6%), Tubificidae (10.3%), Heptageniidae (8.6%), Ephemerellidae (6.3%), Asellidae (2.7%), Leptophlebiidae (2.4%), Planariidae (1.7%), and Tipulidae (1.6%). Substrates compositions consisted of large sand (22.6%), large gravel (18.4%), silt (10.5%), and boulder (8.2%). The mean stream width was 133.5 m and the mean watercourse width was 61.7 m. The mean water depth and velocity were 30.2 cm and 33.1 cm s-1, respectively. Results of cluster analysis based on distributional characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates were divided into six groups according to the frequency of benthic macroinvertebrate taxa which appeared in the study area. Finally, altitude, current velocity and substrate composition were the most influencial factors determining the distribution patterns of macroinvertebrate communities.

가축질병 바이러스는 매우 빠르게 전파되는 특징을 가지고 있으며 질병에 걸린 동물의 분비물에 접촉하거 나, 사람이나 차량에 의한 바이러스의 이동, 또는 공기를 통하여 전파가 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 가축 및 분뇨 운반차량이 질병을 전파시키는 요인이 될 수 있다고 판단하고 전염병 발생 시 질병의 이동 경로를 파악 하고 효율적인 방역범위를 설정하는데 기초자료로 활용 하고자 한다. 축산차량의 이동경로를 분석하기 위해 ArcGIS(Ver. 10.3, ESRI, USA)의 Spatial Statistics tool에서 Measuring geographic distribution방법을 활용하여 Directional distribution을 추출하였다. 결과 값으로 위도(Latitude), 경도(Longitude), Rotation, XstdDist, YstdDist을 얻었다. 그 결과 특정한 목적을 가지고 출발지가 일정 지역에 귀속되어 있는 가축 및 분뇨 차량의 경우 출발지점, 도착지점, 목적지가 크게 바뀌지 않을 경우, 이용하는 도로는 한정되어 있었다. 30대의 차량 중 대다수의 차량이 일정한 패턴을 가지고 평상 시 이용하는 경로만 이용하여 분뇨를 운반하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 전염병 발생 시 질병의 이동 경로를 파악하고 효율적인 방역범위를 설정하여 투입 인원과 장비를 줄이면서 현재보다 효율적인 방역 범위를 설정이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of squat exercises with an upper limb resistance movement on the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and gluteus maximus. This study recruited 16 healthy men. All subjects performed squat exercises with and without upper Limb resistance movements by using elastic tubing band. Electromyography (EMG) activity of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and gluteus maximus was recorded using a surface EMG system during these isometric squat exercises in both experimental conditions. The different muscle activation of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and gluteus maximus between the squat exercises with and without the upper limb resistance movement was analyzed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. Our findings showed that the vastus medialis oblique, vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio and gluteus maximus muscle activity was significantly increased during the squat exercise with upper limb resistance movements, as compared to the squat exercise without this component (p < .05). Based on our findings, the additional upper limb resistance movement may be a useful strategy to facilitate the vastus medialis oblique and gluteus maximus muscle activation during a squat exercise.

This study is based on the results of the 7th Korea Human Size Survey (Size Korea). The standard body shapes of Korean women between 25 and 34 years old were analyzed and used to develop a prototype princess line for wedding dresses. or this purpose I conducted a literature review and a survey of the actual situation of domestic ligaments. In order to select suitable ligaments for the standard body type of 25~34 year-old Korean women, I collected the most representative ligaments from around the world: Stock man from France, Superior from the USA, KIIYA from Japan, and Pig and Nonno from Korea. They were then compared and analyzed. In the form of a formal wedding dress, a prototype princess line was developed by a draping technique in order to finely implement the human body fitting. To develop the prototype of the princess line, I made test garments with muslin. 25 to 34 years old Korean female standard body type Three human subjects close to the average measurement value were selected as subjects. An exterior appearance evaluation questionnaire was created with 28 questions focusing on the main parts of the prototype princess line. The clothes were evaluated three times. In this study, aesthetic and functional elements were considered for the development of princess line prototypes for wedding dresses. In addition, the amount of spare area was given differently. This study is significant in the achievement of a dress line closest that closely matches the human body line of the standard Korean female body type.

In order to identify key nations and bird species of conservation concern we described multinational collaborations as defined using network analysis linked by birds that are found in all nations in the network. We used network analysis to assess the patterns in bird occurrence for 10,422 bird inventories from 244 countries and territories. Nations that are important in multinational collaborations for bird conservation were assessed using the centrality measures, closeness and betweenness centrality. Countries important for the multinational collaboration of bird conservation were examined based on their centrality measures, which included closeness and betweenness centralities. Comparatively, the co-occurrence network was divided into four groups that reveal different biogeographical structures. A group with higher closeness centrality included countries in southern Africa and had the potential to affect species in many other countries. Birds in countries in Asia, Australia and the South Pacific that are important to the cohesiveness of the global network had a higher score of betweenness centrality. Countries that had higher numbers of bird species and more extensively distributed bird species had higher centrality scores; in these countries, birds may act as excellent indicators of trends in the co-occurrence bird network. For effective bird conservation in the world, much stronger coordination among countries is required. Bird co-occurrence patterns can provide a suitable and powerful framework for understanding the complexity of co-occurrence patterns and consequences for multinational collaborations on bird conservation.

해상교통안전진단제도의 해상교통시스템 적정성 평가 항목 중 통항안전성 근접도 평가 기준은 충돌확률이 1.0 × 10-4 미만일 경우에 선박의 안전 확보가 가능하다고 제시하고 있다. 1970년대 선박 충돌에 관해 Fujii 와 Macduff의 연구를 시작으로 많은 연구자와 연구기관에서 충돌확률 예측 모델을 제시하였다. 이 같은 다양한 연구에서 충돌확률은 1.0 × 10-4을 크게 벗어나지 않는 수준이지만, 대부 분 가정된 상황을 기준으로 제시됨에 따라 다양한 형태의 실제 항로 기준에 적용하는데 근거가 부족한 문제가 있다. 이 연구는 직선항 로와 곡선항로를 통항한 선박들의 GICOMS 데이터를 이용하여 선박의 크기별로 근접도 평가를 조사하였다. 이를 근거로 모든 선박에 일률적으로 적용되던 평가 기준을 선박의 크기별로 근접도 평가를 적용 하는 것이 보다 더 합리적이라 판단되어 항로 형태에 따른 선박 크기별 충돌확률을 제시하였다. 향후 보다 다양한 상황과 형태의 항로에서의 해상교통시스템 적정성 평가 기법에 대한 정확성 개선연구 가 필요하다.

Purpose: This study investigated the dietary patterns associated with Korean food and the level of proper eating habits according to recognition of the Kimchi cooking method, and aimed to suggest the necessity of dietary education of traditional foods such as Kimchi. Methods: Based on the results of the national dietary survey conducted in 2014 by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of Korea, a total of 1200 subjects were classified into two groups, one that knew how to make Kimchi (53.8%) and another that did not (46.2%). Results: The group that knew how to make Kimchi (FG) showed significantly higher scores in knowledge of how to cook most types of Korean foods and traditional fermented foods than the other group (NG). Moreover, FG showed significantly higher scores in regularity in meals and a higher frequency of Korean foods such as rice, Kimchi, and grilled or stewed food, while it showed significantly lower scores in dietary risk factors than NG. In addition, FG showed significantly higher scores in dietary education interest and number of meals with family during the week than NG. Finally, FG had significantly higher scores in the degrees of practice of all eight items related to proper eating habits. Conclusion: Since recognition of Kimchi cooking has a great influence on maintenance of dietary life, dietary education to improve the cooking ability of traditional foods should be further strengthened.

This study was conducted to understand damage effects of Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) on the seedlings of Evergreen Oak (Quercus acuta) with the cutting of main stems before planted at Jeju Experimental Forests. Six plots in size of 20 × 20 m had been setup from the middle to the end of March, 2007, and planting after cutting the main stems of seedlings had been conducted to increase survival rate of the seedlings, and we monitored experimental and control plots to know the damage effects of the deers. Experimental plots were designed at the width of 3 m fields after clear-cutting, and they was adjacent with the buffer zone in size of 2 m covered with vegetation covers. Seedlings were planted at interval of 1 x 1 m, they were at 8 rows and 20 lines per plot. Two rows among them had been treated as half cutting at main stems. Total 647 seedlings had been planted, 168 seedlings were belong to half cutting's plots and 479 were to control plots. As a result, half cutting did not increase the survival rate of seedlings, and it increases the ratio of deer damage. Damaged seedlings showed significantly the lower height than undamaged did. Therefore, it would indicate that planting the seedlings over 90 cm in height would decrease the damage from deer at study areas. And, we suggest the damage factors on Quercus acuta as apical bud grazing, bark rubbing, and leaf grazing, we made the flow chart to decide the damage factors in the field.

The purpose of this study was to suggest torso patterns that fit the three main body shapes of elderly obese women. To reduce time, costs, and also the trial and error needed to make patterns, the CLO program for 3D test wear was employed. Three virtual models for aged obese women were use, with the YUKA system used to produce torso patterns. 3D simulation of test wear and corrections was done to design optimal torso patterns. The results were as follows: First, for the three models of obese women’s body shapes as realized by CLO 3D, Type 1 is lower-body obesity shapes, Type 2 is abdominal obesity shapes, and Type 3 is whole-body obesity shapes. Second, to design the study patterns, actual measurement values, back waist length and waist to hip length, were used. The armhole depth (B/4-1.5), front interscye (B/6+2.3), front neck width (B/12-0.5), front neck depth (B/12+0.5), front waist measurement (W/4+ 1.5+D), front hip measurement (H/4+2+0.5), and back hip measurement (H/4+3-0.5) were calculated using formulas. Third, according to the results of test-wearing the study patterns, reduced front neck width and depth improved the neck fit and reduced armhole depth bettered loose or plunging armhole girth and also reduced the sagging of bust c.. Also, tight sidesfrom aprotruded waist and abdomen improved with the increase of surpluses in the back waist and also back and front hip c. The exterior was enhanced by displacement of back and front darts, which distributed surpluses better.

We used an etching process to control the line-width of screen printed Ag paste patterns. Ag paste was printed on anodized Al substrate to produce a high power LED. In general, Ag paste spreads or diffuses on anodized Al substrate in the process of screen printing; therefore, the line-width of the printed Ag paste pattern increases in contrast with the ideal line-width of the pattern. Smudges of Ag paste on anodized Al substrate were removed by neutral etching process without surface damage of the anodized Al substrate. Accordingly, the line-width of the printed Ag paste pattern was controlled as close as possible to the ideal line-width. When the etched Ag paste pattern was used as a seed layer for electroless Ni plating, the line width of the plated Ni film was similar to the line-width of the etched Ag paste pattern. Finally, in pattern formation by Ag paste screen printing, we found that the accuracy of the line-width of the pattern can be effectively improved by using an etching process before electroless Ni plating.

생물 종의 분포를 파악하는 것은 진화생물학 뿐만 아니라 보전생물학에서 매우 중요한 연구 분야이다. 최근에는 직접적인 관찰 위주 결과의 한계를 극복하고자, 종 분포 모델을 적용한 멸종위기종의 보전에 대한 연구들이 다양한 분류군에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개체들이 관찰된 좌표 자료와 종 분포 모델링 기법을 바탕으로 한국에 서식하고 있는 멸종위기양서·파충류 종들의 주요 분포지역을 예측하고 이들의 서식지 특성을 파악하였다. 분석에 이용 된 멸종위기양서·파충류는 이끼도롱뇽(Karsenia koreana)과 수원청개구리(Hyla suweonensis), 금개구리(Pelophylax chosenicus), 맹꽁이(Kaloula borealis), 구렁이(Elaphe schrenckii), 표범장지뱀(Eremias argus), 남생이(Mauremys reevesii), 자라(Pelodiscus sinensis)를 포함하며, 고리도롱뇽(Hynobius yangi)과 비바리뱀(Sibynophis chinensis)은 표 본수가 적어 분석에서 제외되었다. 그 결과 고도가 멸종위기종들의 분포에 가장 중요한 환경변수로 나타났으며, 그들이 분포한 고도는 그 지역의 기후와 상관관계를 나타냈다. 또한 종분포 모델링에서 예측된 분포지역은 본 연구의 관찰 결과 뿐만 아니라 다른 선행 조사의 관찰결과를 충분히 포함하고 있었다. 8종의 AUC 값은 평균 0.845±0.08로 비교적 높게 측정되었고, 오류 값은 0.087±0.01로 비교적 낮게 측정되었다. 따라서 생성된 멸종위기종들의 종 분포 모델은 성공적으로 생성되었다고 판단된다. 멸종위기양서·파충류들의 주요 분포지역을 확인하기 위해 분포 모델들을 중첩한 결과, 5 종은 한반도의 서쪽 지역인 경기도와 충청남도의 해안지역 주변에서 공통적으로 서식하고 있는 것으로 예측되 었다. 따라서 이와 같은 지역들을 우선적으로 보호지역으로 지정되어야 하며, 이러한 결과들은 멸종위기양서·파충류의 보호지역을 지정함에 있어 보호대책 수립에 중요한 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 백화산 지역의 고도별 식물 종풍부도 패턴 및 서식지 인자인 면적, 경사도와 기후 인자인 연평균 기온 및 강수량이 고도별 식물 종풍부도 패턴에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 식생 조사 결과, 목본 식물 66종, 초본 식물 88종, 총 154종의 식물종이 관찰되었다. 고도에 따라 전체 식물 종 및 목본 식물종의 풍부도는 감소하는 패턴을 나타낸 반면, 초본 식물종의 풍부도는 특정 패턴을 나 타내지 않았다. 또한, 이러한 분포 패턴을 제어하는 인자로서 단순회귀 분석 및 편회귀 분석을 통한 변 이분할 결과, 서식지 인자인 면적과 기후 인자인 연평균 기온 및 강수량이 목본 식물 종풍부도를 예측 하는 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났으며, 서식지 인자인 경사도가 초본 식물 종풍부도를 제어하는 중요한 인자로 나타났다. 또한, 전체 식물종의 풍부도를 예측하는데 있어서 서식지 인자인 면적과 경사도가 중 요한 인자로 나타났다. 본 연구는 소규모 개별 산림에 자생하는 식물이라고 하는 동일한 분류군 내에서 도 식물 그룹에 따라 고도별 분포 패턴 및 제어인자가 상이하다는 것을 제시하며, 백화산 지역의 식물 다양성을 제어하는 인자가 단순히 하나가 아닌 몇 가지 인자에 의한 복합작용에 의해 나타나는 현상임 을 의미한다.

This study aims to investigate the interaction patterns between the teacher and students or among students themselves in a Korean elementary English classroom by analysing classroom talk and by focusing on the types of the teacher’s questions and feedback as well as the use of L1 and L2. This analysis is used to determine the influence of such interaction on the students’ communicative skills in English. A female teacher in Gyeonggi province and a 6th-grade class participated in the data collection. This study included data from video or audio recordings, interviews, field notes, self-assessments, and portfolios. The transcribed data were analysed using Tsui’s (1994) framework and Verplaetse’s (1995, 2000) coding system. The results of this analysis indicated that the interaction patterns varied between participants into three groups: teacher-initiated talk (e.g., T-S talk) vs students-initiated talk (e.g., S-T talk & S-S talk). At the beginning stage of lesson, the teacher-initiated talk made up the majority of talk in English, and facilitated the students’ involvement in classroom learning including their language use. In the S-S talk, the students were involved in interaction which occurred naturally without the teacher’s control.

To elucidate occurrence patterns of naturalized plants in agroecosystems, we surveyed flora in uplands, orchards and rice paddy fields in middle regions (Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do) of Korea in summer and fall from 2013 to 2015. Our results showed that there are 77 species of naturalize plants in 54 genera and 20 families of vascular plants among total 420 species occurred in the agricultural areas composing 18.3% of naturalized index. Community compositions of both native and naturalized plants were different among agricultural types.We suggested that Cerastium glomeratum Thuill., Bidens frondosa L. and Erigeron philadelphicus L. are capable of dispersal to other regions based on our results with getting to broaden distribution of naturalized plants. The mean naturalized index was the highest in the upland (25.1%) followed by in the orchard (23.0%) and the paddy field (16.1%), while the mean number of naturalized species was the highest in the orchard (21.8 species) followed by in the upland (16.6 species) and paddy field (10.3 species). The numbers of naturalized plants in the orchard were increased along with increasing size of the agricultural land and decreasing ecological area rate. In addition, the number of native species was significantly correlated with the number of naturalized species in the upland. Our results would provide useful information to manage dispersion of naturalized plants in agricultural ecosystems.
