The relationship between environment and economic growth has been controversial for a long time. The cores of controversy are endogeneity problem and omitted variable bias. This paper tests EKC (Environmental Kuznets Curves) hypothesis by considering econometric issues and estimates the effects of energy mix on $CO_2$ emissions empirically and tests with time series during 1981~2008. By the results of this analysis, we convince EKC Hypothesis which the relationship between $CO_2$ emissions and economic growth is the inverted U-shaped and the national energy mix contributes significantly to GHG mitigation. We also find that the nuclear energy has the greatest contribution for $CO_2$ mitigation and the renewable energy does not seem to contribute little to the $CO_2$ mitigation because the proportion of renewable energy in Korea is negligible. In terms of final energy consumption, $CO_2$ increases and transportation sector is statistically and significantly associated.

This study was conducted to develop a happiness index for Korean. 16 factors of happiness derived from both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis based on a nationwide sample of 1503 Korean adults were reclassified into 3 components of Alderfer's need theory. The LISREL was used to measure the weight of each happiness factor. The results showed that happiness index was functioned by a formula(Happiness=2.5*existence+2.5*relationship+5*growth). Applying this formula, the average happiness score for Korean was 57.71. It was also demonstrated that the degree of happiness differed according to individual's gender, region, and income. Men was happier than women, while there was no significant difference among ages. As far as the region concerned, those who live in Seoul and Daejeon were happier than the others. People who earn over 2,500,000 won per month were happier than the others in terms of economic status. Finally, the result of the discriminant function analysis revealed that individual or psychological growth factor was more important than existence and relationship factors. Based on these significant research findings, practical implications and future research directions were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of perceived job insecurity on job crafting behaviors among employees from two different cultures: Jamaica and South Korea. Growth needs strength was also examined as a moderating variable on the job insecurity/job crafting relationship. This study collected 102 data samples from working individuals from Jamaica and 98 from South Korea. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the hierarchical regression analysis were used in order to analyze the data. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0. Our research results indicated that perceived job insecurity has a significant effect on employees job crafting behaviors. The relationship between perceived job insecurity and job crafting behaviors differs based on culture. In addition, employees growth need strength moderates the relationship between the two variables. Although this study has some limitations, it contributed to the stress-coping literature by showing that individuals will engage in coping behaviors when they perceived job insecurity in the organization. In addition, culture and individual drive or need for growth plays an important role in how individuals cope with perceived stress or uncertainty.

최근의 GaN에 관한 연구는 주로 MOCVD법과 MBE법이 이용되고 있으며 대부분 800¬1$\alpha$)()t 정도의 고옹에서 이루어지고 었다. 그러나 이러한 고온 성장은 GaN 성장 과청에서 질 소 vacancy를 생성시켜 광특성을 저하시키고 청색 발광충인 InGaN 화합물에 In의 유입울 어 렵게 하며 저온에서보다 탄소 오염이 증가하는 동의 문제캠을 가지고 있다. 이러한 고온 생장 의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법중의 한 가지로 제시되고 있는 것이 저온 성장법이다. 본 연구 에 사용된 RPE-UHVCVD법은 Nz률 rf plasma로 $\sigma$acking하여 공급함으로써 NI-h롤 질소원으 로 사용하는 고온 성장의 청우와는 다르게 온도에 크게 의존하지 고 질소원올 공급할 수 있 어 저옹 성장이 가능하였다. 기판으로는 a - Alz03($\alpha$)()1)를 사용하였고 3족원은 TEGa(triethylgallium)이며,5족원으로는 6 6-nine Nz gas를 rf plasma로 cracking하여 활성 질소원올 공급하였다 .. Nz plasma로 질화처리 를 한 sapphire 표면 위에 G따애 핵생성충을 성장 옹도(350 t, 375 t, 400 t)와 성장시간(30 분,50 분) 그리고 VIllI비(1$\alpha$)(), 2뼈)둥을 변화시키면서 성장시킨 후 GaN 에피택시충을 450 $^{\circ}C$에서 120 분 동안 성장시켰다 .. XPS(x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), XRD(x-ray d diffraction), AFM(atomic force microscope)둥올 이용하여 표면의 조성 및 morphology 변화와 결정성을 관찰하였다. X XPS 분석 결과 질화처리를 한 sapphire 표면에는 AlN가 형성되었다는 것을 확인 할 수 있 었으며 질화처리를 한 후 G따J 핵생성충올 성장시킨 경우에 morphology 변화를 AFM으로 살 펴본 결과 표면에 facet shape의 island가 형성되었고 이러한 결파는 질화처리 과청이 facet s shape의 island 형성을 촉진시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 핵생성충의 성장온도가 중가함에 따 라 island의 모양은 round shape에서 facet shape으로 변화하였다. 이러한 표면의 morphology 변화와 GaN 에피택시충의 결정성과의 관계를 살펴보면 GaN 에피택시충 표면의 rms(root m mean square) roughness가 중가하는 경 우 XRD (j -rocking curve의 FWHM(full width half m maximum) 값이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 결정성의 향상이 columnar 성장과 관계가 었다는 것올 알 수 있었다 .. columnar 성장은 결함의 밀도가 낮은 column의 형생과 G GaN 에피택시충의 웅력 제거로 인해 G값{의 결정성을 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 톡 히 고온 성장의 경우와는 달리 rms roughness의 중가가 100-150 A청도로 명탄한 표면올 유 지하면서 결정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 본 실험에서는 핵생성충올 375 t에서 30 분 생장시킨 경우에 hexagonal 모양의 island로 columnar 성장을 하였고 GaN 에피태시충의 결정성도 가장 향상되었다 이상의 결과로부터 RPE-UHVCVD법용 이용한 GaN 저온 성장에서도 GaN의 결청성올 향 상시킬 수 있음융 확인할 수 있었다.

최근, nanorod나 nanowire와 같은 1차원의 나노구조가 나노디바이스로 각광을 받고 있다. [1] 특히 InN는 3족 질화물 반도체 중 가장 작은 밴드갭 에너지와 뛰어난 수송 특성을 가지고 있어 나노디바이스로의 응용에 적합한 물질이다. [2] 그러나 InN는 큰 평형증기압을 가지므로 쉽게 인듐과 질소로 분해되는 특성이 있어 나노구조로의 성장이 쉽지 않음이 알려져 있다. [3] 최근 연구결과에 따르면, InN 나노구조는 금속 catalyst를 사용한 방법이나, 기판 위 패턴을 이용하여 성장하는 방법, 염소를 사용한 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다. [4,5,6] 그러나 이 방법들은 의도치 않은 불순물의 원인이 되거나 다른 추가적인 과정을 필요로 한다는 문제점도 일부 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 catalyst-free 유기 금속 화학 증착법 (MOCVD)를 이용하여 $Al_2O_3$ (0001)면 위에 InN nanostructure를 성장하였다. InN nanostructure 성장 시 트리메틸인듐(TMIn)과 암모니아($NH_3$) 를 전구체로 사용하였으며, 캐리어 가스로는 질소를 사용하였다. 또한 모든 샘플의 성장시간은 60분으로 고정하였으나, 성장 시 온도의 의존성을 보기 위해 $680-710^{\circ}C$ 의 온도범위에서 성장을 진행하였다. 그 결과 InN는 본 실험에서 적용된 성장온도범위 내에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 초기에는 columnar구조로 성장된 박막의 형태에서 wall이 배열된 형태로 변화하며 결국 $710^{\circ}C$ 의 온도에서 nanorod로 성장하게 된다. 성장된 InN의 나노구조는 X-선 회절 측정법, 주사 전자 현미경 그리고 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하여 각각의 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. X-선 회절 측정법과 주사 전자 현미경을 통한 분석결과에서는 이들 nanorods가 대부분 c 방향으로 수직하게 정렬되어 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, $690^{\circ}C$ 에서 60분간 성장된 InN의 wall 구조의 두께는 200 nm, 길이는 $2-2.5\;{\mu}m$로 관찰되었으며, $710^{\circ}C$에서 60분간 성장된 InN nanorod의 지름은 150 nm, 길이는 $3\;{\mu}m$ 정도로 관찰되었다. 이를 통하여 볼 때 성장 온도가 InN의 나노구조 형성 시 표면의 모폴로지변화에 중요한 변수로 작용함을 알 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 이러한 표면 형상 및 구조 변화가 성장온도에 따른 관계성을 가짐을 InN의 분해와 성장의 경쟁적인 관계에 의해 논의할 것이다.

In this study, we examined the longitudinal change of multicultural acceptability, peer relationship, and teacher relationship using latent growth curve modeling. This study used data from the second, third, and fourth waves of the middle school student cohort (N=2,178) of the Korean Children-Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). The dependent variable was multicultural acceptability. The independent variables were peer relationship and teacher relationship. The major longitudinal findings of this study are as follows: First, peer relationships, teacher relationships and multicultural acceptability increased with time. Second, peer relationship showed a significant effect on the multicultural acceptability over time. Finally, the teacher relationship showed a significant effect on the multicultural acceptability over time. These results show differentiation with previous cross-sectional studies of multicultural acceptability. Furthermore, it is expected that this study will provide educational implications for the cultivation of multicultural acceptability.

This paper investigates the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for carbon dioxide $CO_2$ emissions and its causal relationships with economic growth and openness by using time series data (1971-2006) from China (an emerging market), Korea (a newly industrialized country), and Japan (a developed country). The sample countries span a whole range of development stages from industrialized to newly industrialized and emerging market economies. The environmental consequences according to openness and economic growth do not show uniform results across the countries. Depending on the national characteristics, the estimated EKC show different temporal patterns. China shows an N-shaped curve while Japan has a U-shaped curve. Such dissimilarities are also found in the relationship between $CO_2$ emissions and openness. In the case of Korea, and Japan it represents an inverted U-shaped curve while China shows a U-shaped curve. We also analyze the dynamic relationships between the variables by adopting a vector auto regression or vector error correction model. These models through the impulse response functions allow for analysis of the causal variable's influence on the dynamic response of emission variables, and it adopts a variance decomposition to explain the magnitude of the forecast error variance determined by the shocks to each of the causal variables over time. Results show evidence of large heterogeneity among the countries and variables impacts.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between growth mindset, grit and self-directed learning ability of nursing students and investigate the factors influencing self-directed learning ability in online education. Data were collected through online surveys; subjects were consisted of 194 nursing students from J University in province C. Data were analyzed based on frequency, percentile, mean, Pearson's correlations, and multiple regressions. Self-directed learning ability, mindset, and grit in nursing students showed significant positive correlations with each other. Grit had the strongest influence on nursing students' self-directed learning abilities, followed by satisfaction for major studies, standard of living, interpersonal relations, and growth mindset; these factors accounted for 38.1% of the total variance in self-directed learning abilities among nursing students(Adj. R²=.381, p<.001). Overall self-directed learning ability can be improved by grit, growth mindset enhancement program.

The growth and microstructural characterization of epitaxial yttrium silicide ($YSi_2$) on the (100)Si substrate are investigated. The $YSi_2$ film grow epitaxilly through the solid phase reaction during vacuum annealing above $400^{\circ}C$. The epitaxial relationships between the hexagonal $YSi_2$ film and the (100)Si substrate are [0001]$YSi_2$//[011]Si and [0001]$YSi_2$//[011]Si in the (1100)$YSi_2$//(100)Si plane relation. The YSi$_2$ film consists of the two types of domains which have two different azimuthal orientations making an angle of $90^{\circ}$ to each other. The two types of domains in the $YSi_2$film are equivalent in volume fraction and crystalline quality, which has been proved from the equivalent integrated intensities of (2201) asymmetric reflection of X-ray diffraction. The formation of a double -domain structure is discussed on the basis of geometrical matching at interface between the (1100)$YSi_2$ film and the (100)Si substrate, and growth model is proposed.

In this paper, we study the relationship between FDI(Foreign Direct Investment) and economic growth in Kazakhstan. For this research, we, first, investigate the factors that affect FDI infow to Kazakhstan since its independence and determine the degree of their influence. Second, we study the impact of FDI per capita on GDP per capita. To achieve these goals, an empirical study is conducted with 18 years data from 1992 to 2009 from World Bank Database. Data are analyzed using multiple linear regression, time series analysis and Granger causality test. The results show that the determinant of FDI is GDP and economic freedom index in Kazakhstan. Economic growth is affected by FDI, too. Specially, FDI is positively related to GDP and economic freedom index. FDI per capita's impact on GDP per capita is 30.4 dollars increase in GDP per capita by one dollar increase in FDI per capital inflow. The results provides useful information for policy makers to improve obtaining large amount of investments and facilitate economic growth.
