Prevalence of refractive error have revealed variation in relation to ethnicity, educational level, age, gender, and social economic status. Especially prevalence of refractive error varies by country, estimation of prevalence of refractive error have shown increase in Asia than in Western world. The present report aimed to investigate the prevalence of refractive errors by the age and gender in Korean population without eye disease. A total of 960 subjects were sampled and their refractive error was determined using Auto refractometer. Prevalence of emmetropia was 29% and that for myopia and hyperopia was 67%, 4%, respectively. Astigmatism was 22%, and the simple astigmatism was 1%. However the compound astigmatism was 99%. Prevalence of refractive errors differed significantly among age and gender group in our results. The percentages of with-the-rule, against-the-rule and oblique astigmatism among people with astigmatism were 36.6%, 20.7% and 42.7% for right eye and 31.8%, 10% and 58.1% for left eye.

차세대 디스플레이로 널리 알려져 있는 플렉서블 디스플레이는 휴대하기 쉽고, 깨지지 않으며, 변형이 자유로워 현재 우리 사회에 크게 주목받고 있다. 플렉서블 디스플레이의 구현을 위해서는 기존의 유리 기반 디스플레이 소자 기술에 더하여 플렉서블 기판소재에 적용 가능한 투명전도막 기술의 확립이 필요하다. 디스플레이 산업에서 주로 사용되는 투명전도막은 ITO (indium tin oxide) 및 IZO (indium zinc oxide)와 같은 투명전도성 산화물 박막 (TCO, transparent conducting oxide)이다. 그런데 플라스틱 기판이 굽힘 환경에 놓이게 되면 그 위에 증착된 산화물 박막이 쉽게 파손될 수 있다. 따라서 플렉서블 디스플레이 기술에 있어서 변형에 따른 TCO 박막의 파괴 거동에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 기판 상에 증착된 IZO 박막의 반복 굽힘 시 계면구조 변화에 따른 파괴거동을 조사하였다. 플라스틱 기판의 사용을 위해서는 산소 및 수분의 투과 방지막이 필요하며 본 연구에서는 투과 방지막 (또는 보호막)으로서 $SiO_x$ 박막을 적용하였다. IZO 박막은 $In_2O_3$ - 10 wt% ZnO 타겟을 사용하여 RF magnetron sputtering법으로 $100^{\circ}C$ 미만에서 저온 증착하였다. 보호막으로 사용되는 $SiO_x$ 박막은 HMDSO (hexamethyldisiloxane)와 Ar 및 $O_2$ 혼합기체를 이용하는 PECVD 방법으로 합성하였다. 변형에 따른 TCO 박막의 파괴 거동을 조사하기 위하여 반복 굽힘 시험 (cyclic- bending test)을 실시하였다. 반복 굽힘 시험 중 실시간으로 IZO 박막의 전기저항 변화를 측정하여 박막의 파괴 거동을 모니터링 하였다. 시편 A (135 nm-thick IZO/PET), B (135 nm-thick IZO/ 90 nm-thick $SiO_x$/PET), C (135nm-thick IZO/ 300 nm-thick $SiO_x$/PET)에 대하여 곡지름 35mm, 1000회 반복 굽힘을 실시하여 변형 중의 전기저항 변화를 조사하였다. 그리고 굽힘 시험 완료 후, FE-SEM을 이용한 시편 표면형상 관찰을 통하여 균열생성 정도를 관찰하였다. 반복 굽힘 시험 결과, A 와 C 시편의 경우, 각각 반복 굽힘 20회, 550회에서 급격한 전기저항의 증가가 관찰되었다. 그러나 B 시편의 경우, 1000회 반복 굽힘 후에도 전기저항의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 이와 같이 반복 굽힘에 의한 IZO 박막의 파괴 거동 변화는 IZO 박막과 기판의 계면구조변화에 기인한 것으로 해석된다. IZO 박막과 기판의 계면에 $SiO_x$ 층을 삽입함으로써 계면 접합강도가 향상되었을 것으로 추측된다. 따라서 변형에 대한 파괴 저항 특성이 우수한 투명전도성 산화물 박막의 형성을 위해서는 적절한 계면구조 제어를 통한 계면 접합 특성의 향상이 필요하다.

Korea's transportation paradigm is shifting from a vehicle-centered to a pedestrian-oriented society. Therefore, the interest in pedestrian safety and the improvement of pedestrian environment is also increasing. However, the level of traffic safety in Korea is still severe. It is needed to improve pedestrian safety and pedestrian environment. This study studied pedestrian-vehicle accident data provided by the Traffic Accident Analysis System(TAAS) for 2013-2015 to build a safe walking environment around school zones, and the relation between the school zones and pedestrian-vehicle traffic accidents were identified through the geographic information system(GIS) and spatial regression model. The main results are as follows. First, both road and public transportation factors are likely to increase pedestrian traffic accidents in school zones. Second, regarding land-use factors, residential, commercial, and industrial areas are found to increase pedestrian traffic crashes. On the other hand, mixed use is likely to play a role on the reduction of pedestrian traffic accidents. Finally, it has been shown that high development density also has a positive effect on pedestrian traffic accidents in school zones.

This paper estimates the effects of generation mix changes in the $7^{th}$ and $8^{th}$ Basic Plan for Long-term Power Supply and Demand from two aspects: economic efficiency through electricity prices and environmental performance through $CO_2$ and air pollutants(NOx, SOx, PM) emissions. Particularly, we examined additional generation mix conversion paths that take into account the trade-off between economic efficiency and environmental performance through scenario analysis. According to our results, the conversion from the $7^{th}$ plan to the $8^{th}$ plan should increase the electricity prices in the mid- and long-term, while reducing GHG and air pollutants emissions at the same time. The alternative generation mix that combines $7^{th}$ and $8^{th}$ plans shows that there exists a path to mitigate the trade-off between economic and environmental in the long-term. It will be next to impossible to derive a optimal generation mix that simultaneously considers the core values, such as supply stability, environmental performance, economic efficiency, energy safety and energy security, when establishing the power supply and demand plan. However, by exploring the effects of various generation mix paths and suggesting near-optimal paths, people can best choose their direction after weighhing all the paths when deciding on a forward-looking generation mix in the long term.

This study compared and analyzed the contents of secondary earth science curriculum in Mongolia and South Korea to check the contents of earth science education in both countries and to prepare basic data necessary for future earth science curriculum revisions. The research questions of this study are: first, to understand the changes and current operating conditions of earth science curriculum in both countries, to compare and analyze with other foreign cases, and second, to compare and analyze the contents of earth science and curriculum in both countries. The TIMSS evaluation framework is used to compare and analyze the earth science-related contents included in the science curriculum of middle schools. For analyzing the contents of high school, the contents of NGSS in the United States and the earth science curriculum contents of high schools in South Korea were mixed and the analysis frameworks were created and validated by experts. As a result of the study, countries that follow the Russian-style education system did not organize and operate earth science as an independent science subject, and deal with earth science-related content in the natural geography area of the geography subject. The earth science contents covered in middle school science curriculum in both countries, 18 of the 27 content elements of the TIMSS content analysis framework were matched in Mongolia and 20 in South Korea. In high school curriculum, the contents of earth science in Mongolia were described more briefly and not covered than in South Korea. In particular, the Mongolian geography curriculum dealt with many environmental issues. The emphasis on the operation method of the earth science curriculum in Mongolia and the contents related to the environment can be used as a reference when developing an interdisciplinary integrated curriculum of science and social studies in South Korea.

This thesis is a study of the rise and the characteristic of 'Hyangto Gakeuk(literally Song drama of the country or local music drama)' in the Early 1940s. During the colonial period, there were attempts to incorporate traditional Korean music elements with Western operatic form. This type of music drama with librettos based on traditional tales came to be known as 'Hyangto Gakeuk'. Mostly 'Hyangto Gakeuk' has led this effort under the director Seo Hang-Suk, the composer Ahn Ki-Young and the lyricist Seol Eui-sik. In the first chapter, the study aims at arranging the performance history of 'Hyangto Gakeuk' composed by Ahn Ki-Young. Also, the study examined representative works after classifying 'Hyangto Gakeuk' performed by Lamila Music Drama Troupe, and Bando Music Drama Troupe. There is significant meaning to evaluate 'Hyangto Gakeuk' in the history of Korean music drama through this analysis of the performance history. In the second chapter, I will analyze with representative works composed by Ahn Ki-Young, a pioneer in the Korean art song. He tried to create the music that held the nationalism and tradition. His works which were called 'Kageuk' laid down the foundation of Korean original operatic style. This study demonstrated characteristics of 'Hyangto Gakeuk' as 'the beginning' in modern musical drama history and its effects on Korean musical drama developments. Namely, 'Hyangto Gakeuk' based on Korean traditions can be seen as examples of original modern musical in Korea. Practically, study on all the aspects of performance not only text generally studied, dramaturgy and criticism, but also performance concept and intention of creators in early period.

Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary volcanic rocks in the Kyongsang basin exhibit high-K calc-alkaline characteristics, and originated from the magmatism related genetically to subduction of Kula-Pacific plate. They represent HFSE depletion and LlLE enrichment characteristics as shown by magmas related to subduction. Early studies on the depth of magma generation has been estimated as 180-230 km based on K-h relation should be reevaluated, because the depth of peridotite partial melting with 0.4 wt. % water is 80-120 km at subduction zone, and subducting slab in premature arc can melted even lower than 70 km. Moreover the increase of potassium contents depends on either contamination of crustal material and fluids of subducting slab or low degree of partial melting. If the inclination of subduction zone is 30 degrees and the depth to the Benioff zone is 180-230 km, the calculated distance between the volcanic zone and trench axis would be 310-400 km. It is unlikely because the distance between the Kyongsang basin and trench during late Cretaceous to early Tertiary is closer than this value and not comparable with generally-accepted models in subduction zone magmatism. $K_{55}$ of the volcanics in the Kyongsang basin is 0.3-2.3 wt.% and the average indicate that the depth ranges between 80-170 km on the diagram of Marsh, Carmichael (1974). Fractionation from garnet lherzolite, assumed the depth of 180-230km, is not consistent with the REE patterns of the volcanoes in the Kyongsang basin. Futhermore, the range of depth suggested by many workers, who studied magmatism related to subduction, imply shallower than this depth. Crustal thickness calculated by the content of CaO and $Na_2O$ is about 30 km and about 35 km, respectively. Paleo-crustal thickness during late Cretaceous to early Tertiary times in the Kyongsang basin inferred about 30 km calculated by La/Sm versus LaJYb data, which is also supported by many previous studies.

Objectives : Self-poisoning is the leading cause of visits to the emergency departments after a suicide attempts. This study is aimed to compare the patient characteristics according to the category of drugs ingested by the patients who attempted suicide. Methods : All medical charts were retrospectively reviewed from patients who visited the emergency center, at Seoul Medical Center, due to intentional self-poisoning from April of 2011 to July of 2019. We investigated the information regarding the subtype and quantity of the intoxication drug, how it was obtained, suicidal history, and psychiatric history, as well as, sociodemographic information. Variables were compared between prescription drug (PD) and non-prescription drug (NPD) poisoning groups. Results : The mean age of the NPD poisoning group was significantly lower than that of the PD poisoning group. The patient ratio of those enrolled in national health insurance and living with spouses were significantly higher in the NPD poisoning group. Compared to the NPD poisoning group, the PD poisoning group had a higher incidence of mental illnesses, underlying diseases and ratio of involuntary visit to the emergency department. Among the prescription drugs, the benzodiazepine poisoning group had a higher rate of self-prescription than the non-poisoning group, while the zolpidem poisoning group had a higher rate of the using someone else's prescription than other drugs. Each single drug poisoning group (benzodiazepine, zolpidem, and antidepressant single-agent) had a higher rate of no mental illness than each of the mixed-poisoning group. Conclusions : Guidelines for regulating non-prescription drugs are needed as a matter of suicide prevention. Also, this study suggests that clinicians need to be careful when issuing prescriptions and should suicidal risk according to patients' characteristics, duration of follow-up and type of drug packaging.
