The purpose of this paper is primarily to introduce a nonparametric statistical tool developed by Baek and Brock to detect a unidirectional causal ordering between two economic variables and apply it to interesting macroeconomic relationships among money, production and prices. It can be applied to any other causal structure, for instance, defense spending and economic performance, stock market index and market interest rates etc. A key building block of the test for nonlinear Granger causality used in this paper is the correlation. The main emphasis is put on nonlinear causal structure rather than a linear one because the conventional F-test provides high power against the linear causal relationship. Based on asymptotic normality of our test statistic, the nonlinear causality test is finally derived. Size of the test is reported for some parameters. When it is applied to a money, production and prices model, some evidences of nonlinear causality are found by the corrected size of the test. For instance, nonlinear causal relationships between production and prices are demonstrated in both directions, however, these results were ignored by the conventional F-test. A similar results between money and prices are obtained at high lag variables.

This study explores the relationship between images and texts through advertising production using images and texts, and analyzes the student works with the semiotics of Roland Barth. Since Barth emphasized the interpreter's interpretation rather than the producer's intention in his work, he interpreted the work as a receiver. It was analyzed in terms of socio-cultural meaning of what students produced in the works. A total of 64 classes were held for the first two classes in D high school. The results of analyzing students' works after the advertisement production class are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing Barth 's myth structure model, advertisement image and text are symbols and have meaning. Second, advertising image and text complement each other and have the characteristic of interrelationship that constitutes meaning. Third, By attracting the socio-cultural implications inherent in the students' advertising, their values and interests could be discovered.

The deformation modulus of rock masses is a very important design factor for the computation of stability of tunnels and their support systems. Several empirical formulas to estimate the deformation modulus using simple rock classification methods such as RQD or RMR are widely used because field tests to evaluate the deformation modulus are very expensive and time consuming work. However, these formulas can be depended on experiences from the characteristics of local sites in each country. So it is possible that there might be limitations to estimate appropriate deformation modulus in South Korea using the empirical formulas. Therefore, in this study, the applicability of empirical formulas was analyzed by comparing estimated value with the measured value from eight sites in South Korea. The results show that the estimated value based on the empirical formulas partially have tendency to overestimate. Especially, in case of sedimentary rocks, it was too difficult to apply to the empirical formulas because there was no relation ship between estimated value and measured value. For these reasons, additional data from many tests and accurate analyses are necessary to evaluate the estimation method for the deformation modulus considering the local characteristics of rock masses.

This study intends to make a comprehensive inquiry into the meaning and limitations of Folksonomy, and to explore how to make full use of Folksonomy in library cataloging. To this end, this study examined as follows : (1) how the philosophical meaning of Folksonomy is different from traditional principles of library cataloging, (2) what the viewpoint of LIS scholars toward Folksonomy are, and how North American libraries have customized Folksonomy for their catalogs. In addition, (3) usefulness of Folksonomy in library catalogs is thoroughly discussed. Based on these, (4) the final discussion includes strategies for Korean LIS scholars and library practitioners to consider when applying Folksonomy to Korea library contexts.

물이 상품에 내재되어 국가간 이동을 한다는 가상수 개념은 기후변화로 인해 물부족 현상이 심화되면서 세계 각국의 관심을 얻고 있다. 향후 물부족 현상 및 가상수 이동과 관련해 국제적인 물거래에 대한 전세계적 차원의 조치가 있을 가능성이 예상되면서 가상수의 국제적인 이동 추이에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 가상수 교역에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지에 대한 연구는 아직 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구는 가상수 이동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 사회경제적 요인을 중심으로 탐색한다. 사회경제적요인으로서 국가의 경제위기 경험 유무, 경제규모, 생활수준, 경제성장속도, 그리고 수자원 정책기조를 선정하고, 이러한 요인들이 전세계국가 및 한국의 가상수 교역량 변화에 어느 정도나 영향을 미치는 지를 분석했다. 가상수 교역량에 대한 자료는 UNESCO, UN, FAO의 자료를 토대로 데이터셋을 구축해 활용했다. 총 10개 농축산 품목을 대상으로 산정한 가상수 교역량에 대해 1989년부터 2013년까지 총 24년간의 자료를 분석했다. 분석 결과 아시아 외환위기, 미국발 경제위기 등 세계적 수준의 경제위기는 전반적으로 가상수 교역추이에 큰 영향을 미치지는 않았으나, 미국발 경제위기는 가상수 교역흐름 완화와 일정 정도 관련성을 보였다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 경제규모와 가상수 교역량은 전반적으로 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, 한국의 경우에는 경제규모 및 생활수준 모두 가상수 교역량과 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 반면 경제성장속도는 가상수 교역량과 큰 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 시간적으로 보았을 때 한국의 경우 생활수준은 2007년도 이후에 가상수 교역량과 매우 큰 상관관계를 보였다. 경제적 요인, 특히 경제규모가 가상수 교역량과 높은 관계를 보이는 것은 경제력이 상승하면서 생활습관이 변화해 육류소비가 많은 것과도 관련이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 사회적 요인과 관련해 분석한 수자원 정책의 기조변화는 가상수 교역량 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The role and importance of entrepreneurship is fast becoming recognized with the topic of creative economy in Korea. Especially, young generations having difficulties of finding a job choose to be an entrepreneur as a part of their career choice due to the changes in social awareness about entrepreneurship and the increase of entrepreneurship education opportunity. It is needed to approach with the analysis of young people's career choice reasons in order to provide effective entrepreneurship education to those who has the choice of career ahead. Each student has different desire to entrepreneurship lecture and education with the basis of their own motivation and goal of career choice reasons. The objective of this study is to examine career choice reasons with 1,651 science and engineering field students in universities to determine the sustainable needs of entrepreneurship education. As a result of the analysis, there is significant relationship between the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education and the intrinsic factors such as self-realization, innovativeness, role-model and independence. In addition, the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education is significantly related to the sustainable desire of entrepreneurship education. In other words, it is needed to enhance intrinsic value of the students' career choice reasons for sustainable entrepreneurship education due to successful start-ups requiring to have information and understanding process of business which comes from continuous entrepreneurship education.

In order to evaluate the fire and explosion involved and to ensure the safe and optimized operation of chemical processes, it is necessary to know combustion characteristics. The explosion limit, the heat of combustion, flame temperature and temperature dependence of the lower explosive limit are the major combustion characteristics used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of the flammable substances. The aim of this study is to investigate interrelationship of explosion characteristics and the temperature dependence of the lower explosion limit at elevated temperature for akylketones. By using the reference data, the empirical equations which describe the interrelationships of explosion properties of akylketones have been derived. Also, the new equations using the mathematical and statistical methods for predicting the temperature dependence of lower explosion limits of akylketones on the basis of the literature data are proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations agreed with literature data within a few percent. From the given results, using the proposed methodology, it is possible to predict the explosion limits of the other flammable substances.

Although academic interest, the intersection of cognition, emotion, and motivation, is a primary goal of learning and mediates the effects of learning, the present learning environment is full of impeding factors which undermine learner's interests in learning situation. The purpose of this study is to examine current state of academic interests of Korean students and to identify several potential causes of developmental declines in academic interests. It has been consistently found that academic interests in various school subjects decrease with age and grade in school. Three potentially contributing factors to the observed loss of academic interests are mainly discussed: deprived autonomy, severe competition, and normative evaluation. Based on theories on interest and motivation, and empirical findings, various prescriptions are also suggested for designing an interest-based learning environment in order to trigger and enhance learner's academic interests.
