The purpose of this study is to investigate the features of science language in Earth science textbooks and Earth science research articles. We examined two Earth science textbooks and two Earth science articles using the taxonomy of scientific words, the text structure analysis of explanations, the analysis of conjunctive relations and reasoning, and the function of conjunction. The results showed that school science language revealed in Earth science textbooks had high proportion of naming words and the text structures in which definition/exemplification structure and description structure were dominant. Also, internal relations that showed additional arrangement rather than logical inference, were predominant in Earth science textbooks. However, scientists' science language revealed in the Earth science articles had more proportion of process words and concept words than the Earth science textbooks and the schematic structure of explanation texts, such as orientation - implication sequence - conclusion. In addition, the text structures in each sentences of implication -sequence showed cause/effect or problem-solving after description structures. Also each sentences expressed causal or abductive reasoning through the internal relations using verbs or adverbial inflection. It is necessary that we bridge the gap between the two languages for students' authentic use of science language. For the bridging, we propose "interlanguage", which mediates between school science language and scientists' language.

Landscape around a settlement is not only a natural object, but also a matters of the man in the co-relation with his environment. Man perceives the landscape rational or sensible. Then it changes into the substance for him and influences him: as we see often in the folklore, that is of importance in the mind. Man reacts against his surroundings deceidedly, selfassurd or commonly, and uses sometimes the landscape to the elements for realization, physical or symbolical. Out of one character of korean villages, adaption to the circumstances, we can notice also its inner image, the reflection of the mind. Seeing and perceiving the environment emotional or reasonable and, reflecting and descreibing the inner self on the space. Here, the landscape and the nature are matter of the man, a scale for his ethical estimation or a mailer of the realization his mind. It is difficult, but important, such a immanent picture in(or of) the landscape to find. This is a preliminary study in such a way.

기후변화 시나리오 및 계절예측 자료를 포함한 기후정보를 수자원 분야에 활용하기 위해서는 기후정보의 시 공간적인 상세화(donwscaling)을 필요로 한다. 상세화의 경우 역학적 상세화와 통계학적 상세화로 구분될 수 있으며, 통계학적 상세화를 위해서는 대상 지역의 기후특성을 대표할 수 있는 장기 관측 자료의 확보가 중요하다. 국내의 경우에는 자동기상관측장비(Automatic Weather System, AWS)와 종관기상관측장비(Automatic Synoptic Observation System, ASOS)로 부터 수집된 기상관측자료를 사용할 수 있으나 기후변화 시나리오의 통계적 상세화를 위해서는 30년 이상의 자료 기간을 포함하는 ASOS 자료가 적합하다. 하지만 개발도상국과 같이 기상관측기반이 열악한 지역에서는 잦은 결측 등으로 인하여 품질이 좋은 관측자료의 획득이 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 측이 포함된 장기 기상관측 자료로부터 대상 지역의 기후특성을 재현할 수 있도록 기본적인 QC(Quality Control)을 거쳐 결측 자료를 보완할 수 있는 기법 및 R 기반패키지를 개발하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 개발된 기법의 적용성 평가를 위해서 기상청에서 QC를 통해 제공하고 있는 60개 ASOS 지점의 관측자료 중 강수량과 기온 변수를 사용하였다. 최대 50%까지의 현실적인 결측 패턴을 임의로 생성하기 위해 실제 개발도상국 관측자료의 일단위 결측 패턴을 이용하였다. 자료의 QC는 관측일 누락/중복 및 문자형 관측값 등 기본적인 오류 검사, 기온의 경우 물리적 허용 범위에 대한 검사, 최고기온과 최저기온의 비교 및 계측기 오작동에 의한 동일한 값의 반복 등을 포함한 내적 일치성 검사를 우선적으로 수행한다. 이후 결측값에 대해서 인근 기상관측소와의 상관성 분석 결과를 기반으로 결측값을 채우고, 최종적으로는 다양한 위성자료 및 재분석 자료 중에서 일단위 기후특성의 재현성 평가를 통해 선정된 격자형 자료와의 상관성 분석 결과를 기반으로 결측값을 보정하였다. 기온의 경우는 결측률이 높더라도 월평균 기후특성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았지만 강수의 경우에는 5% 이상의 결측이 발생하는 경우 월평균 강수량에 영향을 미쳐 지역의 강수량을 과소 추정하는 결과를 보였다. 개발된 QC 기법을 강수 자료에 적용한 결과 월평균 기후특성을 잘 복원하는 결과를 보였지만, 일단위 강우 사상의 재현에 있어서는 미흡한 결과를 보였다.

The movie, X-men, develops the narrative with metamorphosis as the main motif making visual effects of characters and background. The objective of this study is to suggest that the metamorphosis motif can be materialized based on the virtuality of "pataphysics" as one of the genre characteristics of superhero movies and the newly materialized virtuality can be aesthetic characteristics of metamorphosis motif movies. With the virtuality that has its own characteristics with metaphorical symbols such as satire on an absurd society out of existing traditions, pataphysics started in mid-twentieth century and has had an impact on art movements of dadaism, surrealism, pop art, and postmodernism. Analyzing the characteristics of pataphysics which were shown in these artworks, we applied it to metamorphosis scenes of the movie. As a result, we found out that it visualized the shape and aspect of inner and outer strength of a superhero with aesthetic characteristics of metamorphosis scenes and it realized the presence, hybridity, and ex-formal properties of pataphysics consisting of overlapped virtual and physical reality, with technical virtuality.

Currently marketing researchers are investigating the causal variables affecting to salesforces' performances. Some researchers found personal and organizational affecting variables as well as structural context of variables. But almost affecting variables examined in salesforce performance researches are personal characteristics. Such organizational variables like leadership, organization's market orientation would be worth to examine in salesforce performance researches. Thus this research is intended to analyze effects of personal and organizational characteristics on salesforces' performances. Data for this research were elicited from sales representatives of motor companies. Data collected were analyzed by regression analysis using SPSSWIN Ver.10.0. The following are major findings of this research. 1. Leadership whether transformational or transactional affected on salesforces' performances. But it was not accepted that transformational leadership would be superior than transactional leadership. 2. Market Orientation of organization affected on its salesforces' performances. 3. Personal characteristics such as need for achievement, compensation predispositon, self efficacy, learning goal orientation were affect on salesforces' performances. But it found that effects of intrinsic compensation predisposition on salesforces, performances were reverser (-). Based on the above findings, the following conclusion could be drawn: 1. Organizational variables like leadership and market orientation are key managerial variables in the sales organization, meaning that sales manager development and organization's market-driven culture are important. 2. Through recruiting and educating, raising salesforces' self-esteem is necessitated.

With the purpose of studying the effects of K-wave event sponsorship on corporate image, surveys were conducted against visitors at K-wave marketing events in Tokyo and Nagoya which yielded 199 viable samples. These samples were subjected to descriptive and multivariate statistics analysis. Average and standard deviation were calculated and measured for total correlation coefficient to find out characterize of study variables. A Cronbach's alpha coefficient exceeding 0.7 indicated a good to excellent credibility of the measuring instrument. In addition, exploratory factor analysis was employed to establish validity of the measuring instrument. In order to determine the characteristics of K-wave events and the cause and relation of the subsequent effects on corporate image that stems from the aforementioned characteristics, 4 sub hypotheses were derived from 1 major hypothesis, of which 3 were determined to have a substantial and meaningful influence on the final outcome while 1 was rejected. However, due to lack of advance research, additional and continuous studies are warranted to establish a systemized theory in this field and further on, to observe such theories bear fruit in real world applications in the industry.

As an effort to understand alienated gifted students, we investigated learning characteristics and learning tactics of a scientifically gifted student with economic difficulty and physical disadvantage. The student we studied is attending the Saturday Physics Class which is an after school science activity offered by our university. We adopted techniques of qualitative case study. Participant observation was carried out at the field and the interview was done with the participant, his mother, and his teacher of 5th grade. Field documents and self-reports were used to understand the student synthetically. As a result, learning characteristics of the participant could be summarized as a spontaneous learning which originated from the internal motivation and struggle for learning to overcome the sense of inferiority and isolation from the peers. The participant adopted a strategic method for learning to satisfy his learning desire given the circumstance of socioeconomic and physical disadvantage: the three tactics we found were various learning routes, meta-cognitive ability and fervent response.

As one of the essential elements of social work practice, knowledge articulates what the social work profession is doing and ought to do. With an emphasis on building a body of knowledge for the profession, this study analyses the nature of social work knowledge. First, the study examines concepts of social work theories and models, which are built around separate clusters of concepts from a broad base of theoretical orientation. The study reviews epistemological and ideological debates over how to perceive and approach social issues and the role of the social work profession. In organizing a clear conceptual framework for social work practice, different frames of reference and selective and fragmentary knowledge from other disciplines are considered barriers. For the development of a clear identity as a unified profession and the prospects of a value-based profession, more attention needs to be given to specify practical knowledge that is contextual and appropriate to practice settings and more sensitive to social issues.
