본 연구의 목적은 TV 화질에 대한 사용자들의 심리적 특성을 평가하기 위한 화질평가척도를 개발하고, TV 화질의 심리 특성과 물리적 특성의 관계를 확인하는 것이다. TV 화질과 관련된 형용사 152개 중 집단설문(남녀 대학생 80명)을 통하여 TV 화질을 잘 표현하는 형용사로 19개의 형용사를 선정하였다. 선정된 형용사는 다음과 같다; '깔끔하다-지저분하다', '깨끗하다-더럽다', '산뜻하다-침울하다', '편안하다-긴장된다', '매끄럽다-거칠다', '밝다-어둡다', '화려하다-수수하다', '변화스럽다-단조롭다', '자연스럽다', '감각적이다', '만족스럽다'. 126명의 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 이들 형용사의 유사성 평정을 실시하고, 유사성 점수에 대하여 요인분석(주성분분석, oblique 회전)을 실시한 결과, '깔끔함' 차원과 '화려함' 차원으로 분류되었다. 그리고 31명의 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 TV 화질에 대한 감성과 물리적 특성과의 관계를 확인하였다. 그 결과 TV 화질에 대한 감성 형용사들은 밝기, 명암, 색농도와 색상의 변화에는 민감하였으나, 선명도의 변화에는 민감하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a checklist of risk factors for quantitative assessment of musculoskeletal complaints in shipbuilding workers. A key point was to develop comprehensive a checklist including the worker's physical ability, as ergonomic and workload factors. ln the first, through correlation analysis between musculoskeletal complaints and physical abilities in shipbuilding workers, risk factors related to physical abilities were selected. In the second, after the development of a checklist was composed of physical, ergonomic and workload factors, factor analysis was used to test the validity of the developed checklist. Each factors selected finally showed that physical factors were hand grip strength, spinal curvature, and flexibility (sit to reach), ergonomic factors were posture, total exposed time, duration, and force of working, and workload factors were physical and psychological workload perceived by worker. The results showed that musculoskeletal complaints was associated with physical abilities (p<.05). The developed checklist had a reliability of .761 (Cronbach=.761) and a validity and explanation of 54.9%. The criterion of management was classified in 4 stages by relative weights of each factor. It is suggested that active intervention is needed to reduce musculoskeletal complaints in workers with more than a 14.31 score.

As writing skill is considered important in globalised societies nowadays, the skill is taught and assessed in English classrooms in Korea. As for assessment, however, there are no authoritative rating schemes suggested for classroom testing contexts. Given this lack, this study investigates the applicability of one of the existing scales, the FCE rating scale for writing assessment, to Korean high school contexts through both theoretical considerations and an empirical study. From both the theoretical perspectives and the empirical study, in which three English teachers at Korean high schools were asked to assess 6 writing samples using the FCE scale and to do think-aloud during the assessment, it was found that the FCE scale in this context tends to cause problems for the validity of the assessment. It was, therefore, concluded that, for the sake of validity, this kind of scale cannot be applied to the context for which it was not developed, and that there is a need to develop a rating scale, taking into account the characteristics of test-takers, raters and assessment context in question.

This study aimed at evaluating current sanitation management performances in Korean-Food restaurants by their operation types and to develop sanitary training posters based on the risk factors, in an attempt to improve the level of sanitation management in Korean food service facilities. Eighteen Korean-food restaurants that are managed by franchisor, franchisees as well as self-managed with large-scale and small-scale restaurants in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do, were evaluated by on-the-spot inspectors with an auditing tool consisting of three dimensions, nine categories and thirty four items. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The total score of each group showed that restaurants managed by franchisees ranked the highest (59 out of 100 points), while self-managed, small-scale restaurants ranked the lowest (44 out of 100 points). In the categorization of sanitation management compliance, the dimensions of food hygiene during production recorded the lowest compliance rate of 47.7% (22.89/48.0 points) followed by the dimension of environmental hygiene 59.3% (20.17/34.0 points) and personal hygiene 60.5% (10.89/18.0 points). This indicated the need for urgent improvement. The items which showed the lowest compliance rates were 'proper thawing of frozen foods' (0%), 'notifying and observing heating/reheating temperature' (6%), 'using of hand-washing facility and proper hand-washing' (33%), 'monitoring temperature of frozen-foods and cold-foods' (35%), and 'prevention of cross-contamination' (36%) among thirty four items. Self-managed, small-scale restaurants, in particular, needed to improve sanitary practices such as 'sanitation education for employee', 'verifying the employee health inspection reports', 'storing food on the shelves 15 cm distance away from the wall', 'suitability of ventilation capacity of hoods' and 'cleanliness of drainage'. On the basis of the findings of this study, we developed sanitary training posters, especially for small-scale restaurant operators. This could be an effective tool to educate food service employees on sanitary knowledge and principles and could be used to improve the existing sanitary conditions in Korean food service facilities.

우리나라는 1987년 국도 PMS가 도입된 이래 국도 및 고속도로의 경우 그동안 도로포장의 상태를 평가할 수 있는 포장상태 평가기준을 마련하여 이를 바탕으로 유지보수를 시행하고 있다. 반면, 시단위 도로의 경우 비교적 많은 교통량이 통행하며, 가장 많은 연장을 차지하고 있으나 서울시의 경우를 제외하고는 포장상태를 평가할 수 있는 마땅한 시스템이 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울시 사례 및 기타 시단위 도로포장상태 조사자료를 토대로 아스팔트포장의 일반적 평가요소인 균열, 소성변형, 종단평탄성 등 3가지 요소에 대한 포장상태를 분석하였으며, 시단위 도로의 유지관리 의사결정에 필요한 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 본 연구의 포장평가지수 개발방법은 현장조사와 샘플구간에 대하여 전문가 그룹을 구성하여 설문조사를 실시한 후 통계적 처리를 거쳐 시단위 포장평가지수(MPCI)를 제시하였다. 또한 개별결함 지수에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였으며, 평가지수를 실제 현장에 적용하여 타 기관에서 사용중인 포장평가지수와의 비교를 통하여 그 적정성을 검증하였다.

A large number of foreign students enroll at Korean universities each year. Although a good command of the Korean language is crucial for them to be successful in their studies, and both university authorities and teaching staff now agree that students’ language ability needs to be tested before their admission, a valid and reliable test of academic Korean is still to be developed. The aim of this paper was twofold: to determine the Korean language proficiency level and language task types that are necessary to succeed at the university level in Korea; and to determine test specifications that could be used by examiners to appraise university candidates’ language skills. To develop such specifications, Common European Framework (CEF) descriptors of language proficiency were used. These descriptors can be used as indicators showing which language tasks a candidate should be able to do at a certain level. To create test specifications, academically relevant descriptors were selected and task types associated with each were analyzed. Many descriptors associated with the B2 level of the CEF were used to determine the language achievement level necessary for university students in Korea. Information about linguistic input and output associated with each language task type was also gained and applied from CEF descriptors.

This study describes the development principles of the Elementary English Digital Textbook (MEDT) and provides suggestions for the future development of English digital textbooks based on the evaluation of MEDT contents. With these purposes, the study firstly presents relevant theories about the instructional design, e-learning strategies, second language acquisition, and English teaching theories to investigate on what theoretical foundation the MEDT was developed. It then examines how the MEDT integrates and incorporates new technologies such as speech recognition, automatic writing scoring system, games, flash animation, and digital storytelling into a wide variety of English learning activities such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Thirdly, the study reports the learners" and experts" evaluations of MEDT with respect to contents, learning activities, interest, levels, and technological functions. Lastly, based on the evaluation of the MEDT, some suggestions are made on the effective use of MEDT for the implementation of enhanced, high-technological, and motivating English learning environments in Korean elementary schools.

수돗물 공급에 있어서의 미량 유기물질 및 맛냄새 제거의 중요도가 높아짐에 따라 오존, GAC 및 PAC 등 고도 정수처리공정의 도입이 지속적으로 증대되고 있다. 하지만, 원수의 수질악화, 새로운 오염물질의 출현 등에 의해 기존의 고도처리공정이 향후에도 충분한 대안이 된다고 확신하기는 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 고농도의 분말활성탄을 slurry blanket의 형태로 체류시킨다는 새로운 개념의 접촉조를 구상, 막여과조와 연계하여 하나의 공정으로 완성하였다. 한강원수를 대상으로 80m3/일 규모의 pilot plant를 이용, 유기물질 및 2-MIB, Geosmin에 대한 제거특성을 살펴본 결과 DOC의 경우 운영초기 90% 이상, 안정화된 이후에도 70~80% 내외의 높은 처리효율을 나타내었으며 2-MIB Geosmin의 경우 검출한계 이하로 제거되었다. 본 공정은 1년 이상의 장기간의 고도처리 효율 검증 및 안정된 PAC 접촉조의 운영방안 등 공정 최적화를 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요한 실정이나 기존의 고도처리에 비해 컴팩트하면서 높은 처리효율을 안정적으로 나타냄으로써 맛냄새물질을 비롯한 미량 오염물질을 제거하기 위한 대안공정으로서의 높은 가능성을 확인하였다.

Most researches on the corporate credit rating are generally classified into the area of bankruptcy prediction and bond rating. The studies on bankruptcy prediction have focused on improving the performance in binary classification problem, since the criterion variable is categorical, bankrupt or non-bankrupt. The other studies on bond rating have predicted the credit ratings, which was already evaluated by bond rating experts. The financial institute, however, should perform effective loan evaluation and risk management by employing the corporate credit rating model, which is able to determine the credit of corporations. Therefore, in this study we present a medium sized corporate credit rating system by using Artificial Neural Network(ANN) and Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP). Also, we developed AHP model for credit rating using non-financial information. For the purpose of completed credit rating model, we integrated the ANN and AHP model using both financial information and non-financial information. Finally, the credit ratings of each firm are assigned by the proposed method.
