Since 1990s, some events - detection of a dirty bomb in a Russian nation park in 1995, 9/11 terrorist attack to WTC in 2001, discovery of Al-Qaeda's experimentation to build a dirty bomb in 2003 etc - have showed that nuclear or radiological terrorism relating to radioactive materials (hereinafter "radioactive materials" is referred to as "nuclear material, nuclear spent fuel and radioactive source") is not incredible but serious and credible threat. Thus, to respond to the new threat, the international community has not only strengthened security and physical protection of radioactive materials but also established prevention of and response to illicit trafficking of radioactive materials. In this regard, our government has enacted or revised the national regulatory framework with a view to improving security of radioactive materials and joined the international convention or agreement to meet this international trend. For the purpose of prevention of nuclear/radiological terrorism, this paper reviews physical characteristics of nuclear material and existing detection instruments used for prevention of illicit trafficking. Finally, national detection regime against nuclear/radiological terrorism based on paths of the smuggled radioactive materials to terrorist's target building/area, national topography and road networks, and defence-in-depth concept is suggested in this paper. This study should contribute to protect people's health, safety and environment from nuclear/radiological terrorism.

This study investigates the effects of family-friendly corporate policies on employees' job satisfaction, quality of life, organizational commitment, and turnover intention. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire from medium sized manufacturing company during the summer of 2017 and received 295 useful responses. The data was analyzed using the multiple and simple regressions. The results showed that the effects of family-friendly corporate policies were significantly positive from the employee's perspective. The employees' awareness of the family-friendly policy was positively correlated with their job satisfaction, quality of life, and organizational commitment, but it was negatively associated with turnover intention. It should be noted that the boss' support at work showed the insignificant effect on the family friendly policy awareness and this result was very different from the previous study. The study concludes that companies as well as employees benefit from family-friendly policies. The study that in order to create a family-friendly corporate culture, the company should not only introduce the policy to employees but also provide the support and atmosphere for the employees to utilize the family-friendly policy easily, and to establish a companywide support policy, organizational practitioners should find the way family-friendly policies to be rooted in the organization.

There is an increasing attention by scholars and policy makers that university campus can be the key space for the location of high-tech companies and research facilities as well as the promotion of university-industry collaboration activities. There is a tendency that science parks in the UK have a close connection with neighboring universities on the basis of university-industry collaboration activities. Moreover, the role and importance of the university in the evolution process of science parks has been rapidly increased since the 1990's. Recently, the UK government started to push ahead with the university enterprise zone programme, as a new type of enterprise zone, in order to promote university-industry collaboration and local economic development. In this regard, the Korean government also needs to pay attention to the new role of universities, especially universities located in non-capital areas, for not only strengthening the competitiveness of universities, but also fostering regional and national economic development.

Although 'the International Ship Registration Act' has been enacted in Korea as of 1997, its effect is still in question to make shipowners and operators flag in or reflag because of insufficient incentives for them. Therefore, 'the Special Law for Jeju Free International City' has been established and the system of 'Special Ship Registration Zone' has also been enforced. Despite this, few studies were carried out to measure the relative importance of factors for Jeju International Ship Register yet. Against this backdrop, the purposes of this study are firstly, to investigate a relative importance of Jeju International Ship Registration System using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and secondly, to compare the characteristics of Flags of Convenience(FOC) with International Ship Register(ISR) which was adopted by several Far East Asia Countries(e.g., China, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei and Japan). Moreover, this study aims to compare FOC with ISR in terms of shipping policy, ship management, and expenses and tax policy. In this paper, the factors were constructed with four high levels consisting of twenty one low levels to evaluate Jeju International Ship Register by utilizing Expert's brainstorming and AHP. According to the results, it is critical to expand the exemption and tax-related expenses, and also manage foreign-related systems systemically. This study provides important implications to maintain the tonnage tax system for ships effectively as well as to intensify the competitiveness of Jeju International Ship Register System.

This study examined what factors were associated with psychological well-being of grandparents providing daily care to their grandchildren. More focus on the role of various mediators such as caregiving perception and resources were given to investigate the complicated relationships between providing care and psychological function. I used the nationally representative data from the '2008 Korean National Survey of Welfare Need in the Elderly'. Results showed that there were diverse circumstances of caregiving. Grandparents who cared their grandchildren on behalf of dual career parents emerged predominantly from them. Findings also suggested that type of caregiving was related to external factors. Grandparents shouldering greater responsibility for their grandchildren showed lower levels of resources such as financial conditions and social support, and more negative perception of caregiving, which in turn was associated with lower psychological well-being. Finally, more financial resource and neighborhood support directly influenced more positive perception of caregiving. To enhance resources and empower grandparents raising their grandchildren, community-based intervening mechanism incorporating various environments and effective services to meet the needs of grandparents should be discussed in future studies.

This study evaluated the qualitative properties of lotus root (Nelumbo nucifera) peels as food materials. Proximate composition, sweetness, pH, total acidity, color, mineral, fatty acid, free sugar and organic acid contents of preprocessed lotus root were measured. Crude moisture, protein, and total fiber contents of non-peeled treated Lotus roots were higher than those of peeled treated lotus roots (p<0.05). Lightness and yellowness of color were reduced by peeling process, whereas redness increased (p<0.05). The mineral contents of Mg, Ca, Fe and Na were higher in non-peeled lotus roots, whereas peeled treated lotus root showed higher K contents (p<0.05). The major fatty acids were palmitic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. The total free sugar content of non-peeled lotus roots was higher than that of peeled treated lotus roots (p<0.05). Glucose content was not significantly different, whereas fructose, sucrose, and maltose contents were significantly different. The organic acid and free amino acid contents were higher in peeled lotus roots (p<0.01).

개발도상국의 급격한 인구 증가에 의해 세계 60억 이라는 인구도 2050년을 맞아 약 100억에 도달할 것이라고 일컬어진다. 이로 인한 장래의 식량 위기에 대비하여 벼, 밀, 옥수수 등의 증산, 품종 개발도 물론 필요하지만 선진국을 중심으로 시장성 높은 작물의 소비가 우선되어지는 상황에 맞추어 세계적으로 주식이 될 수 있는 새로운 곡류의 확보와 생산체제도 중요한 문제이다. 한편으로 생활의 향상에 따른 식물의 다양화와 건강지향의 관점으로 본 다 품목 소량형의 식생활을 하는 것이 식물성 allergy의 방지 측면으로서의 곡류 특히 잡곡류의 유효 이용이 부각되어진다. 이들 중 amarans, quinoa는 벼과 식물에 비교해서 광합성능이 좋은 C4식물로서 생장이 빠르고 동시에 비타민, 무기질, 지질이 풍부하고 구성 단백질 중에 필수 아미노산을 많이 함유하여 아미노산 등급도 높고 특히 영양 발란스도 우수하다. 또 cholesterol 저하작용, 식물섬유에 의한 대장암의 억제 작용 등이 잘 알려져 있다. 그리l고 quinoa에 대해서는 아메리카 항공우주국(NASA)에서 CELSS(Controlled Ecological Life Support System; 장기간 우주특무비행의 승선원을 위한 공기중의 이산화탄소를 제거하고 식량·산소·물을 만들어 내기 위해 식물을 이용하는 방법)에 적합한 작물 후보로써 선택되어 신규 식품소재로써 주목받고 있다. 이상과 같은 견지로부터 amarans, quinoa를 일상식화되고 있는 빵에 이용하기 위해 제빵성 및 혼합중의 반죽의 모든 성질에 대해서 검토했다. amarans는 초과의 Amaranthus에 속하고 주요 생산국은 아메리카, 멕시코, 페루등이지만 일본에서는 주로 A.hypochondriacus가 수입되어 이용 되어지고 있다.amarans의 가루는 단독으로는 점탄성 있는 반죽을 형성하지 않기 때문에 밀가루에 일부를 대용한 wheat flour dough를 사용하고 가정용 제빵기로 구워 최종 단계에까지의 제빵성 결과를 산출했다. amarans folur 5%의 대체에는 빵의 비용적이 비교적 증대했지만 그 이상 amarans flour을 대처하면 확연히 비용적은 감소했다. amarans flour 10% 대체에 hemicellulase 1250U 이상을 첨가하면 비용적은 눈에 띄게 증대했다. farinograph에 있어서 반죽의 안정성은 amarans flour 10% 대용에 현저히 감소했다. 반죽의 점탄성(아축응력, 탄성률, 점성계수)는 amarans flour 10%를 대용한 것이 무첨가한 것보다 많이 단단해졌음을 알 수 있었다. 혼합중의 반죽의 조사형 전자현미경 관찰로 amarans flour로 대체한 gluten이 단단해졌음을 알수 있었다. 유화제 stearly 칼슘, 혹은 hemicellulase를 amarans 10% 대체한 밀가루에 첨가하면 확연히 비용적을 증대시킬 수 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. quinoa는 명아주과 Chenopodium에 속하고 페루, 볼리비아 등의 고산지에서 재배 되어지는 것을 시료로 사용하였다. quinoa 분말은 중량의 5-20%을 quinoa를 대체하고 더욱이 분말중량에 대하여 0-200ppm의 lipase를 lipid(밀가루의 2-3배)에 대하여 품질개량제로서 이용했다. 그 결과 quinoa 대량 7.5%에서 비용적, gas cell이 가장 긍정적 결과를 산출했고 반죽의 조직구조가 강화되었다. 또 quinoa 대체에 의해 전분-지질 복합제의 흡열량이 증대된 것으로부터 전분-지질복합제의 형성 촉진이 시사되었다.이것으로 인하여 호화억제에 의한 노화 방지효과가 기대되었지만 실제로 빵의 노화는 현저히 진행되었다. 이것은 quinua 대체량 증가에 따른 반죽의 안정성이 저하되어 버린 것으로 생각되어진다. 더욱이 lipase를 첨가하면 반죽이 분화하는 경향이 보여졌지만 첨가량 75ppm에 있어서 상당히 비용적의 증대가 보였다. 이것은 lipase의 가수분해에 의해 생긴 monogliceride에 의한 유화각 일어나서 보존성이 개선되어진 것으로 quinoa를 보다 많이 빨에 이용하기 위해서는 lipaserk 품질개량제로서 유효하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또 lipase는 quinoa의 대체량이 비교적 많은 10-20%의 섭취가 곧 allergy 질환 문제의 개선책이 되는 것은 물론 amarans, quinoa에는 lysine, 함황아미노산이 많고 지질중의 지방산조성도 좋고 무기질도 많이 함유되어 있다. 이와같이 우리들 개인의 건강에 대한 배려도 있고 amarans, quinoa등의 식품재료를 적극적으로 사용할 수 있도록 유념해 두었으면 하는 바램이다.

The interactions of the societal-industrial system with the environment form one of the most critical issues in today's world. The inadequacy of current environmental regulatory structures and of traditional ways of analyzing environmental issues, together with the continuing need to mitigate the environmental perturbations arising from this complex relationship, have led to the development of a new conceptual framework termed industrial ecology. Industrial ecology (IE), defined by Graedel and Allenby, is the means by which humanity can deliberately and rationally approach and maintain a desirable carrying capacity, given continued economic, cultural and technological evolution. The concept requires that an industrial system be viewed not in isolation from its surrounding systems, but in concert with them. IE is a systems view in which one seeks to optimize the total materials cycle from virgin material, to finished material, to component, to product, to obsolete product, and to ultimate disposal. Factors to be optimized include resources, energy, and capital. In the present paper, the concept of Industrial Ecology and its application through efficient and practical Design for Environment (DFE) methodologies and tools will be introduced to Korea. This paper will also emphasis on the industrial environment within which DFE methodologies must be used, including the fundamentals of industrial design activities, concurrent engineering, constraints on design choices and existing technological infrastructure.

The purpose of this study is to measure the relation of employment stress and self-esteem in some health college students and to consider a proper means for the solution. The population of the research is some randomly chosen health college students located in Seoul City during the period from May 10 to June 11 2010, and the sample of 295 students were recruited as the analysis object group. The data on general characteristics and employment stress were collected by a questionnaire survey. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS WIN 12.0 program. The following shows the results of this study. 1. Employment stress was low in high group of satisfaction in campus life. It was statistically significant(p<0.001). 2. Mean scores of total self-esteem in study population were 3.1 and positive self-esteem level(3.76) were higher than negative ones (2.44)(p<0.001). 3. The relation between employment stress and selfesteem(r=0.132) revealed significant correlation. 4. In regression analysis, home economy, competence for a schoolwork, satisfaction in campus life, self-esteem(p<0.001) were proved as significant factors that is related to the employment stress. In other words, It is significant statistically that the lower home economy, competence for a schoolwork, satisfaction in campus life, self-esteem, the higher employment stress level. I suggest with the result of the study that for coping effectively employment stress of health college students, we will need to open an educational development considering self-esteem and an exclusive employment counsel window for better administrationwelfare service in campus, to expand industry-academic cooperation in community. Because of students are independent responsibility of employment, active effort must take precedence in order for the solution of problem by themselves. Also, we will need to create better academic environment and show more concern, consideration, love in family.

The objective of this research is to develop paper sludge reinforced thermoplastic composites which incorporate the advantages of each component materials. The effects of paper sludge content(0, 10, 20, 30, 40----), mesh size(20~40, 60~80, less than 100mesh), and coupling agent(Epolene E-43 and Epolene G-3003) on the mechanical properties of paper sludge-polypropylene composites were investigated. Composite density increased with an increase in the paper sludge content. When paper sludge is incorporated into a polypropylene matrix, the flexural properties of the composite increase significantly with an increase in the paper sludge mixing ratio. Especially, flexural modulus was improved with increasing paper sludge content. The flexural strength of composites was improved, but flexural modulus reduced somewhat with decreasing paper sludge particle size. The flexural properties of paper sludge-polypropylene composites were improved by using coupling agents to enhance the bonding between reinforcing filler and matrix. Use of the epolene E-43 and G-3003 resulted in considerable improvement in the flexural strength over control specimens. The flexural strength of the G-3003 composite system is higher than that of the E-43 system. Generally, izod notched impact strength of paper sludge-polypropylene composite decreased slightly, whereas izod unnotched impact strength decreased significantly with increasing paper sludge contents. There was no effects of paper sludge particle size on impact strength of paper sludge-polypropylene composites. And izod unnotched impact strength of epolene E-43 composite system sharply decreased but that of G-3003 composite system was no tendency with increasing additive content.
