This research aimed at a clear definition of simplicity and complexity and other elements of product aesthetics and investigated the influence of simplicity/complexity on consumer preference, and balance. The research also made it an objective to find answers to underlying questions of whether there is a relationship between simplicity/complexity, and balance, and if there is, then how is the relationship? and is balance in a product's aesthetics an influential factor? does a relationship exist between consumer preference, simplicity/complexity, and balance? In conclusion, the research process categorized products into groups by use of FCB Grid, and analyze4 each group to establish a prototype which represents the group, then questionnaires where presented to consumers in order to find satisfaction to consumer preference. Also, the research proposes a verification method through design process.

This research basically defines that relationship among simplicity/complexity, other product aesthetics and consumer preference. The goal of this research is to find answer 'How much the simplicity/complexity influence expressed functional shapes on products?' and 'What is relationship between simplicity/complexity and consumer preference?' This is process that first we make categorize products by analysis, and second we analyze each category group for fading propensity from consumers, and finally we verify through design process.

전 세계 담수 자원의 예측 및 관리에 있어서 유출량 변화의 예측은 중요하다. 하지만 강수량 대비 유출량의 비율인 유출율이 수자원 시스템에 중요한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 여부는 여전히 불분명하다. 본 연구에서는 전 세계의 1,636개 관측소에서 관측된 유출량과 강수량 자료를 이용하여 최근 60년 (1956-2015) 동안 유출량, 강수량, 증발산량의 관계에 있어서 유출율의 역할에 관해 연구하였다. 수문 기후학적으로 습한 지역과 건조한 지역을 구분할 수 있는 임계값으로 유출율을 사용할 수 있다는 점을 Budyko 공간에서 적용하여 건조 지수와의 비교를 통해 발견할 수 있었다. 유출량 변화에 대한 상세한 분석을 위해 강수량 및 증발산량 변화율에 따라 6가지의 범주를 설정하였고 그 결과 대부분의 관측소에서는 강수량의 변화와 일관된 방향으로 유출량이 변화하는 것으로 밝혀져 유출량의 변화는 강수 변화에 더 민감하다는 결론을 얻었으며 모든 범주에 있어서 유출율은 강수량과 증발산량의 변화에 의한 유출량 변화의 크기에 상당한 영향이 있음이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구의 결과들을 통해 우리는 기후 변화에 따른 유출량 변화에 대한 예측성 향상에 있어서 유출율에 대한 물리적인 이해가 잠재적인 주요한 요소라고 제안한다. 토지 피복 및 토지 이용과 같은 인위적 영향은 유출율을 직접 감소 또는 증가시켜 유출량의 민감도를 변화시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 수치적인 접근 방식은 수자원 가용성에 대한 기후 변화 및 인위적 영향을 완화하기 위해 실행 가능한 정보를 제공할 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: Undertreatment of canter pain, especially due to the differences in the perception of pain between the patients and caregivers, is a well recognized problem. The purpose of this study were to determine if there exist differences in communication about pain intensity scores between patients and their family caregivers in Korea. Methods: A total of 127 patient-family caregiver dyads who have experienced canter pain participated in this study at a hospital in Seoul for six months. The data were obtained by fare to face interview with a structured questionnaire based on Brief Pain Inventory-Korean version and other previous researches. The clinical information for all patients was compiled by reviewing their medical records. Results: Patients' 'worst-pain for 24-hour' and 'right-now-pain' scores estimated by family caregivers were significantly higher than those by patient themselves. The degree of agreement between patients and family caregivers in the estimate of patients' 'worst-pain for 24-hour' intensity categories was 78.7% for 'severe pain', 40% for 'no pain', 27.5% for 'mild pain' and 22.9% for 'moderate pain'. In case of 'right-now-pain' intensity categories, the agreement was 50% for 'severe pain', 47.2% for mild pain, 46.3% for 'no pain', and 26.3% for 'moderate pain'. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the degree of agreement between patients and family caregivers in the estimate of patients 'pain intensity categories was less than 50% except for 'severe pain'. The results indicate that Korean family caregivers tend to overestimate the canter pain intensity of their caring patients, especially, when a lancer patient has 'moderate' or 'mild pain'. Health Providers are advised to educate patient-family caregiver dyads to use a pain measurement scale to promote their agreement in pain Intensity stores. Further analyses and studies are needed to identify the factors and differences that influence their communication about pain intensity scores between patients and their family caregivers.

In this research, life cycle inventory database (LCI DB) was developed for liquid CO₂ employing life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. As are result of characterization and normalization process, production of liquid CO₂ puts on environmental impact in the order of resource depletion, global warming, acidification, eutrophication and photochemical oxidation, and among a wide variety of input, electricity contributes in most of the impact categories. Air emission plays a key role in the acidification and eutrophication while ammonia affects most on the ozone depletion. It is anticipated that development of liquid CO₂ LCI DB makes it possible for national environmental strategies to be more activated including environmental labeling scheme.

국가 장기 전원개발 계획 수립에 있어서 객관적인 환경영향의 평가는 매우 중요하다. 원자력발전은 방사성 물질을 배출하는 반면, 화석연료에 의한 발전은 지구온난화 물질을 배출하는 특성을 지니고 있다. 전과정 평가방법은 연료의 채굴, 수송, 가공, 연소 그리고 폐기의 전체 과정에 걸친 환경 부하를 정량적으로 평가하는 수단이다. 본 연구는 우리나라에서 수행된 원자력발전원을 포함한 여러 전력 생산시스템에 대하여 전과정 평가방법(LCA: Life Cycle Assessmnet)을 통한 환경영향을 비교하고, 앞으로 수행되어야 할 방향을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다.(중략)

The purpose of this study is to develop the Korean version of Music-Related Quality of Life (K-MRQoL) for the elderly. The K-MRQoL consisted of Musical Ability, Attitude, Activity Frequency (PART 1) and Musical Ability, Attitude, Activity Important (PART 2). Each subcategory consists of Music Perception with 11 items and Music Engagement with 7 items. The validity and reliability of K-MRQoL were measured with Pearson's and Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficients and Independent t-test in total 30 elderly with normal hearing and 30 elderly with hearing loss from local welfare Centers and nursing homes. The correlation coefficients between total scores and PART 1 and PART 2 ranged from .701 to .948 and from .598 to .926, respectively. The internal consistency between total and Part 1 and Part 2 ranged from .846 to .931 and from .838 to .918, respectively. The test-retest correlations were .979, .970, and 979 for total, PART 1, and PART 2, respectively. The correlation between K-MRQoL and Quality of Communication Life Scale was .449. There were significant differences in total, PART 1, and PART 2 between the elderly with normal hearing and hearing loss. This indicates that the K-MRQoL can be used as a useful clinical tool to evaluate Music-related Quality of Life in the elderly with normal hearing or hearing loss.

Rapidly growing mobile machines such as tablet PC and smart phone are equipped with touch screen panel using a sturdy material for products surface protection. Therefore, surge of chemically strengthened glass was increased and the amount of waste matter is proportional to demand. The purpose of this study is environmental impact assessment on touch screen panel of chemically strengthened glass by material life cycle assessment (MLCA). We used CES of Granta, SimaPro and Gabi software for MLCA. Chemically strengthened glass (2.7, 5.7 and 10.3 inch) was calculated to environmental impact assessment by Granta software under two cases. One case is Landfill and the other case is Reuse. As a result, in case of reuse, energy values of 2.7, 5.7 and 10.3 inches were reduced by an average of 51.4%, $CO_2$ values were reduced by an average of 46.6% than Landfill case, respectively. We assessed impact categories of 11 types using SimaPro software. As a result, the contents of fossil fuels, inorganics and climate change have a huge impact than the other impact categories. And the main cause of environmental impact is antimony and hydrogen fluoride in Gabi results.

In this study, life cycle assessment(LCA) technique was employed to evaluate the environmental impact of material recycling of polyethylene terephthalate(PET) bottle. Life cycle inventory was established based on the data collected from recycling companies in Korea. Simapro 5.0 LCA software and Eco-indicator 95 index were used for the analysis. The biggest impact by the material recycling of PET bottle on the environmental category was the global warming. It is because melting and production of the recycled PET product consume a significant amount of electricity and energy. In the environmental pollution discharge, $CO_2$ emission was the highest, followed by NOx. This is probably due to the use of diesel and gasoline in the consumption of electricity and transportation. All the environmental impact showed (-) value except the ozone layer depletion, which means that the material recycling of PET bottle is environmentally fair. The use of recycled PET product greatly reduced the environmental impact.
