In this study, we identified the components of cultural competency in college students according to their multicultural experiences. We collected the data from 663 college students located in Gyeonggi-do in September, 2016. Using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 version, we analyzed the data with descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. Our results are as follows. The average of cultural competency is 3.48 points, In the components of cultural competency, cultural awareness is highest at an average of 3.78 points, followed by cultural attitude which has an mean value of 3.73 points. Also, the cultural competency based on the multicultural experience, it is significantly higher when the subjects contact with multicultural people and take a class related to multiculture than the subjects who don't have those kind of experiences. This results indicate that it is necessary to develop various programs for college students' multicultural experiences, because those multicultural experiences improve students' cultural competency.

This study was initiated to address multicultural students' science learning, which is expected to be our assets for the next generation. By understanding their ideas of science learning and cultural context, we intend to encourage them and urge our science education communities to be interested in multicultural science education in Korea. We interviewed elementary and secondary school multicultural students, their parents, and teachers who have ever taught them. The interview revealed that they needed language-based support to improve their science learning. It seemed to be a serious problem that teachers' and students' expectancy toward multicultural students were low. We should put into practice scientific literacy for all students through the multicultural science education in our own context with school-based systematic support.

The In Korea, where multicultural families are increasing, the need to reinforce multicultural competencies has been raised in education. Accordingly, this study selected 7 art textbooks of 2015 revised middle school and analyzed the proportion of the textbook's reference works and contents from the Macfee's perspective of multicultural education. As a result of the analysis, first, the proportion of multicultural reference works by region was high in Korean works(44%) and Western works (43%), whereas that of Eastern works(13%) was very low. In the experience area, 13.8% more Western works were included than Korean works, and Western works were also concentrated in USA and Europe. Second, as a result of analyzing the proportion of multicultural contents, 57.7% of the total units, or 90 units out of 156, contained multicultural contents. As a result, compared to the 2009 revised art textbooks, the 2015 revised middle school art textbooks have expanded the proportion of multiculturalism.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the moderating effects of teacher support on the effects of acculturation stress on school adjustment of multicultural adolescents. To this end, we used the 6th Year (2016) adolescents survey data of 1,329 multicultural adolescents from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey(MAPS), which was constructed by the National Youth Policy Institute(NYPI). Using SPSS 22.0, frequency analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, and moderated multiple regression analysis were used as dependent variables for school adjustment of multicultural adolescents, as independent variables for school adjustment, and as moderating variables for teacher support. As a result, first, multicultural adolescents experienced acculturation stress, and school adjustment decreased as the acculturation stress increased. Second, teacher support was found to have a statistically significant moderating effect on the effects of acculturation stress on school adjustment of multicultural adolescents. Based on the results of this research, I discussed and suggested the supportive measures, the role of teachers, and follow-up research to reduce the acculturation stress of multicultural adolescents and increase the level of school adjustment.

This study was aimed at investigating relationship between global health nursing competency and multicultural acceptance of nursing students. The subjects were 145 nursing students from a university, and data were collected from June 8 to 19, 2020. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and regression. The subjects' global health nursing competency was 2.81±1.11 points (four-point scale) and multicultural acceptance was 3.84±0.68 points (six-point scale). Global health nursing competency differed according to gender and degree of preparation as a global nurse, and multicultural acceptance differed according to gender, multicultural education experience, and degree of preparation as a global nurse. Global health nursing competency had a positive correlation with multicultural acceptance (r=.18, p=.027), and it was showed that multicultural acceptance affected global health nursing competency (B=.29, p=.027). To be prepared as a global nurse, it is necessary to enhance the global citizen insight about multicultural experiences.

The purpose of this study is to develop the School Multicultural Climate(SMC) scale for students and to evaluate its reliability and validity. This study comprises of both qualitative and quantitative research. Preliminary items were developed based on the theoretical literature and interviews with students. The scale was evaluated with students in grades 4 through 6 in the seven elementary schools. Exploratory factor analysis was determined that the scale was composed of four components: Equal Status, Mutual Cooperation, Friendly Relations, Supportive Norms. The scale demonstrated that Cronbach's alpha=.943 for the internal consistency of total items. And the standard error of the measurement, another way of evaluating reliability, was 3.33. Criteria-related validity was evaluated by showing that the differences of the students' recognition of the school multicultural climate level, which depend on the availability of the multiculture-related policy, was statistically significant. The correlation analysis for the convergent validity was performed with the theoretically related variables such as self esteem and school adjustment. It was found that the SMC scale was a reliable and valid measure for evaluating the multicultural climate level of elementary school.

Adult polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a rare, benign condition association with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder characterized by multiple diffuse cystic lesions of the liver parenchyma. Significant symptoms or complications from liver involvement can occur cases. Surgical therapy is the mainstay of therapy including laparoscopic or open fenestration with or without hepatic resection and orthotopic liver transplantation. We report the literature addressing the presence of abdominal discomport, a case of a patient with PLD. This case showed the typical ultrasonogaphic and computer tomogaphic findings of this disease.

Analyzing research paper published from 2005 to 2010, this study aims for analysing the research paradigm on multi-culture and understanding the structural characteristics of the multicultural knowledge via scientometric. Co-word network constructed by keywords in documents and their co-occurrence relationships is a kind of mapping knowledge structure. A total of 4,521 and 1,373 papers published between 2005 and 2010 were retrieved from the KRF Registered Journals and Proposed Journals. This paper employs k-core analysis method in the field of mapping knowledge structure to analyze keyword co-occurrence network of multicultural research in Korea. And Netminer 3 is employed to visualize the networks in this paper.

기존의 링크교통량으로부터 OD추정모형은 기존 OD에 대한 추정의 종속성이 커, 기존 OD나 관측링크교통량의 오차에 따라 추정결과가 일관적이지 않은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한 관측링크교통량의 정확도가 중요함에도 불구하고 차종구분 없이 링크교통량을 이용하여 정보의 손실을 초래하였고 결과적으로 OD 추정력을 저하시켰다. 그렇지만 다차종 링크교통량으로부터 다차종 OD를 구하는 연구는 거의 없었으며, 그 추정결과가 단일차종에 대한 추정결과와 어떻게 다른지에 대한 연구도 전무하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존의 OD 추정모형이 기존 OD에 대해 종속성을 가지며 차종구분 없이 모형을 구성함으로써 추정력의 저하를 초래하였음을 밝히고, 이에 대한 대안으로 종속성 문제를 완화하고 차종구분을 통해 OD 추정모형의 추정력을 증진시키자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 유전알고리즘을 이용한 다차종 OD행렬 추정모형(GAMUC)을 구축하고, 이를 기존의 바이레벨 모형의 IEA 알고리즘 및 다차종으로 확장한 모형(IEAMUC)과 게임이론측면에서 검토하였으며, 사례네트워크에 대해 각 기법을 비교하였다. 본 연구는 유전알고리즘을 이용한 OD 추정기법을 축도로에 적용한 임용택 등(2000)과 이를 네트워크로 확장한 백승걸 등(2000)의 연구를 다차종으로 확장한 것이다. 사례분석 결과 기존 OD의 오차변화나 관측링크교통량의 오차변화 등에 있어 GAMUC가 IEA나 IEAMUC보다 추정력이 양호하여, 실제 OD를 알 수 없는 도시부 네트워크에서 GAMUC 모형의 적용력이 우수하였다. 또한 차종을 구분하지 않은 기존 모형은 실제 OD와는 전혀 다른 OD 구조를 도출할 수 있음을 보였으며, 단일 차종을 여러 차종으로 구분하여 OD를 추정하는 것이 더 양호한 추정력을 확보하는 것으로 나타났다.
