This study aimed to construct and test a hypothetical model to explain health-promoting behaviors among high school students in Korea. Data were collected from a self-administered questionnaire of 395 first-year to third-year students at a high school in Gyeonggi-do area. The exogenous variables of this study were family function, friend support, school life environment, and social capital of the local community, and endogenous variables were self-efficacy, self-regulation, and health-promoting behaviors. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 22.0. The final model with 13 of the 9 analyzed paths showed a good fit to the empirical data: χ²/df=1.96, GFI=.90, AGFI=.88, CFI=.94, TLI=.93, RMSEA=.05, SRMR=.06. The variables included in these paths were family function (β=.57), self-efficacy (β=.29), self-regulation(β=.14), the social capital of local community (β=.14), and friend support (β=.13). The variables included in the nine significant paths explained 86% of variance in the explain model. Thus, it is necessary to build up a social support system for dysfunctional families and health-promoting behaviors of adolescents in the families and develop a program for creating the environment of the local community including schools.

This study empirically investigated the relationship among knowledge transfer, network(firm network and government network) and performance Korean MNCs' subsidiaries in terms of absorptive capacity and entry mode roles in China. For this, absorptive capacity was established as an independent variable, mediating variable, and moderating variable. And the entry mode was divided into single investment and joint venture and set to the moderating variable. Data for the analysis of actual proof was randomly selected from the companies which was established more than 3 years before KOTRA 'The overseas expansion Korean company directory (2014)'. Questionnaires to 138 Chinese subsidiaries of Korean MNCs were collected by FAX and E-mail. AMOS was utilized and collected data investigated the role of the absorption capacity and entry mode as the covariance structure analysis. The empirical analysis showed that absorption capacity has a direct influence on management performance as an independent variable with the network (firm network and government network). It only has a partial mediating role between enterprise networks and management performance, and no meaningful result was gained as its moderationg role bewteen the exogenous variable and management performance. And in terms of Korean companies' moderating role in entering China, they have a moderating role between government network, absorption capacity and management performance, but did not show a statistically significant result between knowledge transfer, enterprise network and management performance. Absorption capacity, as the variable affecting overseas subsidiary's management performance, should not be considered a mediating or moderating variable, but an independent variable. Since the joint venture is showing higher performance than single investment when going into the Chinese market, implication is provided for options in overseas expansion. But this research has the limitation in generalization because it is aiming at the subsidiaries of the Korean company investing in China. Therefore, it is more desirable in the future to conduct a study of the subsidiary of the Korean company entering several countries. It also has limitations in generalization, because the research was conducted using a limited number of variables, despite there are various factors affecting the management performance of Chinese subsidiaries.

This study attempts to analyse factors that influence the level of career decision for prospective librarians. To this end, an empirical study was conducted on the students from the department of Library & Information Science at universities located in Seoul, Gyeong Gi and Chung Cheong Areas. Exogenous variables included curriculum, career-related departmental activities, and librarian-related institutional factors. The result of analysis using the Structural Equation Model reveals that career-related departmental activities are preceding factors which affect the level of career decision and that personality types function as a modulator. This suggests that, in order to raise the career decision level, prospective librarians need to participate in career-related departmental activities, which make it easier to share information regarding career and thus enhance the level of career. Such career-related departmental activities include participating in job-oriented circles and career-consulting programs, communicating with seniors, and operating and joining career programs. Further organizational and institutional development is required : better curriculum, improved practical ability and qualifications as librarians. This study also discusses its limits and areas for future research.

The role of foreign direct investment (FDI) as a channel of knowledge transfer and on the technological spillovers of know-how to other sectors in the economy is in the middle of this debate. Thus, foreign direct investment may have significant positive effects in reducing residual loadings and environmental pollution. There is an abiding concern expressed by many commentators that countries will lower their environmental standards to attract foreign investment, thereby creating so-called "pollution havens." Others argue that increasing foreign investment could promote "pollution halos" by introducing and transferring more efficient and less polluting technologies. The primary objective of this study is to show the dynamic relationship among pollution loadings, pollution abatement effort, and economic development with explicit consideration of FDI-related effects. This study found when foreign direct investment is evaluated in the model, the environmental pollution level is reduced and expenditure on pollution abatement is increased.

Due to the intense competition and low switching cost, to find out which factors will significantly impact on user's continuance intention is very important for mobile instant messaging (IM) practitioners. In this study, we adopted network externalities and perceived service quality as independent variables based on the definition of mobile IM service. Network externalities also include direct externalities (referent network size) and indirect externalities (perceived complementarity). The result of this study shows that referent network size has a critical influence on perceived usefulness and perceived complementarity has a critical influence on perceived enjoyment; perceived service quality, as we expected, has significantly impact on not only customer's satisfaction but also perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment. Meanwhile, both perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment have directly critical influences on customer's continuance intention.

This study is aimed at developing a supply-demand model of wood products, and outlook for mid-term and long-term supply and demand for each products. The main wood products include sawnwood, plywood, particle board, fiberboard (MDF), and pulp. The partial equilibrium model is composed of supply function, import demand function, demand function, price relation function. With given parameters the outlook for year 2050 says that sawnwood, plywood, and fiberboard for domestic productions and imports are decreased. This may result from the increase of log prices from the inside and outside of the country because of the propensity for environment protection and the resource nationalism. On the other hand the supply of particle board and pulp will increase because they are made from wasted wood and chips.

The model using time series data can be considered as a flood forecasting model of a small river due to its efficiency for model development and the advantage of rapid simulation for securing predicted time when reliable data are obtained. Transfer Function Noise (TFN) model has been applied hourly flood forecast in Italy, and UK since 1970s, while it has mainly been used for long-term simulations in daily or monthly basis in Korea. Recently, accumulating hydrological data with good quality have made it possible to simulate hourly flood prediction. The purpose of this study is to assess the TFN model applicability that can reflect exogenous variables by combining dynamic system and error term to reduce prediction error for tributary rivers. TFN model with hourly data had better results than result from Storage Function Model (SFM), according to the flood events. And it is expected to expand to similar sized streams in the future.

홍수로 인한 인적 물적 피해는 국가 및 지방자치단체의 치수방재노력에도 불구하고 매년 끊이지 않고 발생하고 있다. 다행히 인명피해의 경우 1970, 80년대 연간 300명 규모에서 2000년대에는 150명 가량으로 줄고 있으나, 재산상의 피해는 매년 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 과거 자연재난에 의한 홍수피해에 기후변화라는 외부요인이 추가적으로 발생하고 있는 실정이며, 국가 경제 발전 및 노령화 사회로 인한 홍수취약인구 증가로 좀 더 적극적인 방재대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 방재대책 등의 국가정책 수립을 위해서는 장래의 홍수피해 예측이 무엇보다 필요하게 되는데, 현재까지는 홍수피해의 빈도분석 등을 통해 이러한 예측이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기후변화라는 외생변수는 과거 자료의 확률적 특성을 마비시켜 이러한 방법론들은 효용성을 잃게될 것으로 전망된다. 홍수피해액을 산정하는 방법은 일반적으로 2005년 이후 하천설계기준에서 채택하고 있는 다차원법을 많이 사용하고 있는데, 이 방법은 침수구역의 물리적 피해를 고려할 수 있어 비교적 정확한 홍수피해액을 산정할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 이 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 정확한 침수심 산정이 무엇보다 필요하게 되는데, 이를 위해서는 지리정보체계(GIS)와 수리모형의 연계가 필수적이다. 따라서 이 방법은 주로 중소유역단위의 취수사업에 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 정책결정에 필요한 대규모유역 또는 지자체단위의 피해비용 산정에의 적용은 한계를 갖게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 향후 기후변화 시나리오에 적용이 가능하도록 과거 홍수피해자료와 호우사상의 강우특성을 중심으로 양자간의 히스토그램 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 실제 홍수피해 조사자료는 대부분 지방자치단체별로 조사가 되고 있는 실정이므로 본 연구에서도 행정구역별로 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 지자체별 전체 피해액은 발생횟수가 높은 중규모 호우사상으로 인한 비중이 가장 높게 나타나고 있으며, 국가에서 집중해야할 치수대책 수립 대상 규모도 이를 중점적으로 고려하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to update the supply-demand model of wood products(FOSMO-2013) and to forecast mid and long run supply and demand for each products. The subjects of the study include sawnwood, plywood, particle board, fiberboard(MDF), and pulp. The updated partial equilibrium model is composed of supply function, import demand function, demand function, price relation function. The long run outlooks of world prices of wood and wood products are imported from the results of Buongiorno(2012). This study also adopt Buongiorno's scenarios, which includes three scenarios of IPCC(A1B, A2, B2) and the other one with assumption of increasing fuelwood consumption of A1B scenario. The result says that the domestic productions of wood products are expecting to decrease while the imports of them increase even there are some differences among the products as well as scenarios.

This study is to analyze the relationship between self-esteem and happiness of parents and children in the 4th-grade elementary school and the 1st-grade of middle school using Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS) 2018 data by the National Youth Policy Institute. The context of analysis is to determine how parents' self-esteem and happiness affect parenting attitudes, and furthermore, how they affect their children's academic activities, self-esteem and happiness. This study is able to explore the level at which self-esteem and happiness, the mental health measure of children and adolescents, were linked to parental self-esteem and happiness. And it suggests that the importance of the role of a parent as a family background has been confirmed in promoting the healthy development of children and adolescents.
