PURPOSES : For most local governments, including that of Gangwon-do, the establishment of an organized pavement management system is insufficient, resulting in problems such as inefficient distribution and use of maintenance budgets for deteriorated road pavements. In this study, we aimed to contribute to the establishment of a more reasonable road maintenance strategy by developing a model for predicting the annual international roughness index (IRI) change for national highway asphalt pavements in Gangwon-do based on big data analysis. METHODS : Data on independent and dependent variables used for model development were collected. The collected data were subjected to exploratory data analysis (EDA) and data preprocessing. Independent variable candidates were selected to reduce multicollinearity through correlation analysis and specific conditions. A final model was selected, and sensitivity analysis was performed. RESULTS : The final model that predicts annual IRI change uses independent variables such as annual temperature range, minimum temperature, freeze-thaw days, IRI, surface distress (SD), and freezing days. The sensitivity analysis confirmed that the annual IRI change was affected in the order of annual temperature range, minimum temperature, freeze-thaw days, IRI, SD, and freezing days. CONCLUSIONS : Road maintenance can be performed rationally by predicting future pavement conditions using the model developed in this study. The accuracy of the prediction model can be improved if additional data, such as material properties and pavement thickness, are obtained in future studies.

PURPOSES : In this paper, problems and improvements in pavement marking standards are proposed as a result of the analysis of domestic/foreign standards and field data. METHODS : In this study, the US FHWA and all state standards were analyzed and domestic pavement marking standards were compared and analyzed. In addition, national highway marking test data, namely the Yeoncheon Test-Bed data, and data from Hawkins et al. (2015) were analyzed. Based on this, problems and improvements in the Korean pavement marking standards are proposed. RESULTS : As a result of literature and field data analysis, various problems were found in the Road Traffic Act and National Police Agency manual. In this standard, there is no definition of Qd; the RD reference value is set too low; and the RW and RR reference values are difficult to be considered reasonable values. CONCLUSIONS : There is an aspect in which the standard items and values of pavement markings are set under some policy judgment. Therefore, it is necessary to properly revise the standards, considering technical and economic aspects.

Chinese as a foreign language education is one of China's crucial national and governmental strategy. Over the past 70 years of development, Chinese as a foreign language education has made remarkable achievements, but it faces great challenges. In China, the term Chinese as a Foreign Language Education is the last in a series of terms from Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language to Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages and then to International Chinese Language Education, and in its development has passed from the 1.0 era to the 4.0 era. This article aims to present new goals by examining the achievements and characteristics of Chinese as a foreign language education step by step from the perspective of governance and drawing out their implications, identifying the causes of its development, and forecasting future tasks

This research investigated consistency of achievement levels stated in the 2015 revised national curriculum of English, high school English textbooks, and the Korean College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) according to CEFR Levels. Based on CEFR levels, this study compared levels of targeted achievement standards in the national curriculum, focusing on reading passages in High School EnglishⅡ and CSAT implemented for three consecutive years (2021-2023). Results indicated that the reading section of textbooks and CSAT included a considerable portion of passages whose text difficulty levels were higher than CEFR B2, exceeding the achievement standards required for high school graduates. These results suggest that difficulty levels in the national curriculum, textbooks, and CSAT should be adjusted according to target levels of language proficiency based on CEFR levels so that learning burden of students can be lessened and competency-based English teaching and learning finally can be performed.

이 연구는 국가 위기관리체계 중 통합방위사태와 경계태세의 발령기준 을 개선하기 위해 분석하였다. 우리 정부와 군은 평시 북한의 침투 및 도발과 같은 상황에 대응하기 위해 경계태세 및 통합방위사태와 같은 국 가 위기관리체계를 지속 발전시켜 왔다. 그러나 북한의 도발 상황을 고 려하여 통합방위사태와 경계태세가 시기적절하게 선포 및 발령되어야 함 에도 불구하고 그렇지 못한 사례가 여럿 있다. 따라서 통합방위사태 선 포절차와 경계태세의 발령조건을 반드시 개선할 필요성이 있다. 이를 위 해 기존 선행연구 사례를 통해 공통적인 연구의 경향들을 분석하였고, 위와 같은 문제가 발생하는 원인을 관련 법령 분석을 통해 연구문제를 도출하였다. 또 과거 위기대응사례를 분석하여 연구문제에 대한 결론을 내림과 동시에 발전 방향을 제시하였다. 이를 통해 본 논제가 주는 함의 는 첫째, 북한의 태도가 급변하여 예측할 수 없는 군사적 도발을 하더라 도 유연하게 대응하고 신속하게 대처할 수 있는 위기관리태세를 갖추어 야 한다는 것이며 둘째, 이러한 적시적인 위기관리를 통해 정부는 우리 국민들의 안전을 수호하는 역할을 수행해야 한다는 점을 시사하고 있다.

In this study, we aimed to explore whether eating alone is associated with mental health conditions in Korean adolescents. The data of 2,012 Korean adolescents aged 12-18 years were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015–2019. Participants were classified into three groups based on the frequency of eating alone: none (all meals with others); 1 meal/day alone; and 2 meals/day alone. Mental health conditions were assessed based on stress recognition, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Multivariable logistic regressions were employed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of poor mental health conditions according to the frequency of eating alone. Adolescents who ate 2 meals/day alone had higher odds of stress recognition (AOR: 2.65, 95% CI: 1.94- 3.63), depressive symptoms (AOR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.47-4.42), and suicidal ideation (AOR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.05-6.08) than those who ate all their meals with others. In addition, having breakfast or dinner alone increased the odds of stress recognition. Considering the continuous increase in the social phenomenon of eating alone, nutritional educations are needed to develop adolescents' ability to choose more nutritionally balanced and healthy meals when eating alone.

무등산국립공원의 과거(1966년)와 현재(2017년) 항공사진으로 암설사면 분포면적을 분석했고, 암설사면과 그 일대 의 식생을 조사하여 암설사면의 면적 변화에 영향을 주는 식생의 특성을 알아보았다. 무등산에 외관상 보이는 암설사면 의 면적은 과거보다 ¼수준까지 줄어들었다. 이곳의 암설사면은 51년 동안 식생 피복에 의해 연평균 2.3ha씩 감소했다. 특히, 저지대 완경사지에 소면적의 암설사면은 식생 피복이 활발하여 대부분이 사라졌다. 하지만 서향, 남서향, 남향 그리고 대면적의 암설사면이 남아 있었는데 이는 태양의 복사열이 암괴의 표면온도를 급속도로 상승시켜, 수분 건조에 따른 수목 생육이 불리해졌기 때문이다. 이런 입지특성 때문에 가장 넓은 덕산너덜 중간부의 소규모 식생은 인접한 산림지역과 다른 특성을 보였다. 덕산너덜에는 양지바른 곳이나 내건조성이 뛰어난 수종이 흔하게 출현했다. 하지만, 토양조건이 양호한 계곡부에 잘 자라는 호습성 수종 또한 세력이 우세했다. 이곳 일부에는 암괴 틈사이로 세립물질과 유기물 축적으로 토양층이 발달해 이런 수종이 정착해 자라는 것으로 보인다. 한편, 무등산 정상부에는 산림이 암설사면 을 덮었는데 고지대에 전형적으로 자라는 신갈나무·철쭉이 우세했다. 이곳은 덕산너덜처럼 암괴 밀도가 높지 않고 토양이 드러나, 식생 발달에 유리했다고 본다. 또한 이곳에는 계곡부에 출현하는 물푸레나무와 당단풍나무의 세력이 강했다. 이는 일부 지역에 암괴들이 떨어져 아래에 쌓이면서 원지형을 오목한 형태의 함몰지형으로 만들어, 빗물 집수로 인해 토양수분이 높아졌기 때문이다. 결론적으로 암괴사면의 면적, 암괴밀도, 분포유형이 암설지형에서의 식생발달과 종조성에 지대한 영향을 미쳤다고 본다.

Veterinary medicines have been widely used for disease protection, growth promotion, and feed efficacy development of animals. Along with development of livestock and pet industry, veterinary medicine market in Korea has increased up to 1 billion US dollar in 2021. The national post-market surveillance (NMS) assessment is important system to manage quality control of veterinary medicines that have reached the open market in Korea. In this study, post marketed veterinary medicines have been analyzed particularly for the active ingredient contents based on the rule, “Tips on animal pharmaceutical audit” and monitored the noncomplicant compounds for prevention of adverse drug event. 6,620 veterinray medicines were chosen by NVRQS-SE10-V1 software program which we developed annually in Korea during 2018-2021. The programe chooses veterinary medicines which is 70% were selected products with high sales in order, 20% were selected products with low sales randomly and 10% were noncompliant product from last year automatically, as we input year`s sales and noncompliant product data. The Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA) leads collection of veterinary medicines from manufacturing companies, drug stores, and hospitals. The NMS assay was analyzed particularly for the active ingredient ingredients performed using liquid and gas chromatography, titration, UV/Vis spectrophometer, pH, and bioassay in Korea Animal Health Production Association (KAHPA). A total of 129 cases were deemed noncompliant and the average noncompliance rate for veterinray medicines was 1.9%. Among noncompliant products violating regulations, the leading cause was insufficient quantity of major ingredients. The compounds found to be noncompliant most frequently were tylosin, spiramycin, ampicillin, amoxicillin and colistin, respectively In this study, we analyzed the results of post marketing surveillance assay from 2018 to 2021 particularly violation rate and pattern. The overall trend indicated gradually decreasing noncompliance rate from 2.7% to 1.6%, suggesting that the quality of veterinary medicines has improved according to the steadily NMS assay and settlement of Korea Veterinary Good Manufacturing Practice (KVGMP) system.

Underwater heritage is the term commonly used to mean material found underwater. Many states have heightened of underwater heritage remains unprotected. The UNESCO 2001 convention on the protection of the underwater cultural heritage is the foremost international legal reference for the protection or salvage of underwater heritage. To conduct a literature review for this thesis, five keywords were chosen such as UNESCO, under water cultural heritage, marine salvage and sovereignty, exploration, and investigation. The objective is; i) To ensure Malaysia underwater heritage is being well enforced by respective enforcement authorities.; ii) To create an awareness and protection to public and relevant parties.; iii) To identify the relevant implementation of legal enforcement from the respective Malaysia authority) To formulate Malaysia underwater cultural heritage strategic framework for enhancement sustainability development of underwater assets and wealth, and sovereignty. And for the problem statement, i) Lack of proactive measures from operational patrol of underwater cultural heritage for the enforcement from maritime authority,; ii) lack of public disclosure on the importance and existence of underwater heritage in Malaysia by stakeholders,; Iii) Lack of procedures and legal aspects for implementation of underwater cultural heritage in Malaysia water,;iv) None of national underwater cultural heritage strategic framework for sustainability of underwater assets and wealth in Malaysia. Specifically, the component of the underwater heritage is outlined for the protection and conservation of artifacts which have been partially or totally underwater. Qualitative method as main method and data collection from research book, journal article, publish and non-publish report. While expert interviewed via Webex within expert from academician and operational as supportive for this research. Text transcribed has been used for this research and coding system functioned for reference during discussion and findings. This thesis also uses theory of formulation and marine salvage as well as underwater cultural heritage law as a main reference. Finally, underwater cultural heritage strategic framework has been formulated regards to enhancement sustainability development of underwater assets and wealth, and sovereignty. thereby, it shown the Malaysian government commitment and concern to remain national maritime sovereignty.

This study investigated the potential role of dietary factors associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Koreans. The scoping review method was used to evaluate the studies that utilized the secondary data sets comprising the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Articles published between 2012 and 2022 were identified using RISS, KISS, DBpia, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. In all, there were 32 published articles on obesity and 119 on MetS. Obesity research included eight articles on nutrients, 12 on food items/food groups, two on dietary patterns, nine on dietary behavior/eating habits, and one on the dietary index. MetS studies comprised 34 articles on nutrients, 43 on food items/food groups, seven on dietary patterns, 25 on dietary behavior/eating habits, and 10 on the dietary index. Carbohydrates, alcohol, and coffee consumption were the most frequently studied dietary factors for obesity and MetS. The primary areas of study were largely focused on nutrients and food items/food groups. Thus, to overcome the paucity of information on the relationship of dietary patterns and dietary indexes with obesity and MetS, there is a need for further research using the KNHANES and KoGES data sets.

In South Korea, the history of the qualifications has been matured with industry development. Since National Technical Qualifications Act was enacted in 1973, the government makes an effort to develop the ability for improving socioeconomic status and the contribution of qualifications to industry. As the industry has been diversified and globalized, the government has efficiently and systematically operating the qualification by enacting Framework Act on Qualifications in 1997. And then, the qualifications are classified into national qualifications, private qualifications, and foreign qualifications. However, it is hard for national qualifications to abolish or establish a qualification by each organization and the privileged license acquisitors as the qualifications are separately operated by the laws and the organizations and lack consistency. For private qualifications, it is harder to organize even by the government because of the entry barriers by each qualification association. For those reasons, it is necessary to organize the system adapted in the changing job market and operated by the organization managing the qualification system with consistency. This research indicates the inefficiency of the qualification system because the work-study parallelism National qualification system, enacted in 2020, is like the qualification system in business in terms of the general operating system and the operator, except the institute and the law related. Therefore, we analyze the work-study parallelism National qualification system and the qualification system in business and suggest the efficient method to operate and the future research plan regarding the whole qualification system.

스마트농업의 활성화를 위해서는 농업환경 데이터의 관측과 모델 그리고 통계자료의 상호운영성 확보가 중요하므로, 이를 위한 격자체계의 적용방안을 탐색하고자 한다. 국내외 격자체계 표준에 대한 사례조사와 농업분야의 격자표준 적용사례조사를 벤치마킹하고 국립농업과학원과 상위기관의 표준현황을 살펴보고, 농업환경 공간정보의 목록과 분류체계를 구축한 후, 사용자 요구사항을 파악하기 위한 설문을 실시하여 적정한 격자 크기를 선정하였다. 농업환경 공간정보의 공유와 활용을 위하여 국토지리 정보원의 기관표준을 차용하여 군 이하 소규모 지역은 10m, 광역시･도는 100m, 농촌경관 목적으로는 500m, 전국은 1km 격자 크기로 안을 제시하였고 원활한 표준 적용을 위한 전략을 제안하고, 현장 조사 및 관측 결과를 격자로 변환할 수 있도록 오픈소스 기반의 변환 툴을 개발하여 격자표준 적용 용이성과 시간 절약성을 확보하였다.

국산재 원목 공급은 국유림과 민유림에서 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 산림벌채를 수반하는 원목 공급에 대하여 일부 환경단체들은 산림환경의 파괴에 대한 우려를 제기하고 있다. 반면에 산림청과 원목 생산자는 시장의 안정과 목재산업을 보호를 위해 안정적인 국산재 원목 공급의 필요성을 주장하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 국산재 원목 공급정책의 변화가 국산재 원목 시장에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 국유림 원목 공급량의 변화가 국산재 원목 시장에 미치는 영향을 국산재 원목 수급 탄성치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 국유림 원목 공급량이 10%, 30%, 50% 감소하는 시나리오에 따라 국산재 원목 시장의 균형가격은 상승하였고 그 범위는 7.56% (114천원/㎥)∼41.05% (150천원/㎥) 나타났다. 하지만 균형 물량은 감소하였고, 그 범위는 불과 -0.22% (3,101천㎥)∼ -0.04% (3,107천㎥)로 분석되었다. 이 연구가 주는 함의는 적은 수준의 공급량 감소에도 원목 생산자의 이익은 증가할 수 있다는 것이다. 하지만 원목 공급량 감소에 따른 가격의 상승은 원목 수요자에게는 상대적으로 부담이 가중될 것이다. 따라서 원목 수급량 변화에 가격이 민감하게 반응하는 국산재 원목 시장의 특성을 고려하면 원목 시장의 안정을 위해서 공급량을 감소시키는 정책은 숙고할 필요가 있다.

A reliable prediction model of national occupational accident fatality rate can be used to evaluate level of safety and health protection for workers in a country. Moreover, the socio-economic aspects of occupational accidents can be identified through interpretation of a well-organized prediction model. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based relative comparison methods to predict and interpret a national occupational accident fatality rate based on socio-economic indicators. First, we collected 29 years of the relevant data from 11 developed countries. Second, we applied 4 types of machine learning regression models and evaluate their performance. Third, we interpret the contribution of each input variable using Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP). As a result, Gradient Boosting Regressor showed the best predictive performance. We found that different patterns exist across countries in accordance with different socio-economic variables and occupational accident fatality rate.

As of August 2021, the national qualification system for veterinary nurses started being implemented in Korea. The first national qualification test produced certified veterinary nurses in February 2022. Veterinary nurses assist veterinarians in treating and caring for companion animals. This study investigated improvement suggestions for the current qualification system by pinpointing what was missing in this institution and analyzing exemplary cases in other countries regarding naming for veterinary nurses, national qualification systems and expertise levels, job responsibilities, and the work coverage in veterinary nurses. Under a constantly improving national qualification system, veterinary nurses can be leading professionals for pet animals’ health and well-being and contribute to better veterinary service as long as veterinarians collaborate with veterinary nurses who take on more responsibility in collaborative efforts.

Explainable AI (XAI) is an approach that leverages artificial intelligence to support human decision-making. Recently, governments of several countries including Korea are attempting objective evidence-based analyses of R&D investments with returns by analyzing quantitative data. Over the past decade, governments have invested in relevant researches, allowing government officials to gain insights to help them evaluate past performances and discuss future policy directions. Compared to the size that has not been used yet, the utilization of the text information (accumulated in national DBs) so far is low level. The current study utilizes a text mining strategy for monitoring innovations along with a case study of smart-farms in the Honam region.
