The purpose of this study was to review the current language level of children from multi-cultural background and whether the language level of these children would be increased after participating in the 'We Start Language Intervention Program'. The subjects were 30 36-75-month old children attending daycare centers in Ansan city, South Korea. The results showed that the receptive and expressive language levels of children from multi-cultural families were low compared to those of other children, and that their expressive language level was evaluated more negatively than their receptive language level. After participating in the 'We Start Language Intervention Program', language test scores, language age and language percentile rank were all increased. It was also found that the developmental language level of multi-cultural children increased, and that of the children that had a language delay or language disorder decreased.

Due to explosive increase in the amount of data produced recently, cloud storage system is required to offer high and stable performance. However, VM (Virtual Machine) migration may result in lowered storage service performance. Especially, in an environment where the host-side flash cache is used in a cloud system, the existing warmed up cache is lost and the problematic cold start begins at a new cache due to a VM migration. In this paper, we first demonstrate and analyze the cold start problem and then propose Cachemior (Cache migrator) which enables efficient hot start of the flash cache.

태양에너지 이용이 크게 역설된지도 벌써 상당한 년월이 흘렀으나 대규모 이용은 아직 실용화되지 못하고 있다. 다수의 반사경을 사용하여 태양 광선을 탑 위에 올려놓은 보일러에 집중시켜 여기에서 발생하는 수증기를 이용하여 터어빈을 회전, 발전하는 태양열발전 방식의 10MW의 파이롯드 플랜트가 금년중에 미국에 건설될 예정으로 있다. 이것은 앞으로 100MW의 발전소를 현실시키기 위한 것으로 기술적으로는 큰 어려움이 없고 대량생산이 되면 경제적으로도 원자력발전보다 오히려 유리하다고 한다. 기상조건과 지리적조건이 다른우리나라에서는 실현이 어렵겠지만 이러한 류의 구상은 우리나라에서도 가능할 것이다. 이 헬리오스타트(시계장치로 회전하는 반사경에 의하여 태양의 반사광선을 일정한 방향으로 보내는 장치)를 사용하는 발전에 대하여 휴우스톤대학의 물리학 교수이며 태양 에너지 연구소장인 힐데프란드박사와 같은 물리학교수이며 동연구소의 부소장인 밴드할박사가 상세한 논문을 발표하고 있다. 다음에 그 논문의 요약을 소개한다.

최근 4차 산업혁명이 가속화되면서 IT 기반 산업들이 제품 중심 사업에서 서비스 위주의 사업으로 변화하는 양상을 보인다. 그에 뒤 받침 하듯이 세계 스타트업 기업 가치를 측정해 보았을 때 1위부터 4위까지 모두 IT 기반의 사업이라는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 그중 750억 달라 가치를 가진 Uber, 560억 가치를 가진 디디추싱은 모두 차량 공유 시스템을 서비스를 기업으로, 세계 각국의 사람들의 현재 차량 매칭 서비스에 관심이 집중 되어있다. 이러한 차량 매칭 서비스는 사용자들 실시간 매칭을 해주기 때문에 많은 사람들이 서버에 접속하여 인증을 요청하게 된다. 또한 기업은 많은 사람들의 실시간 인증을 처리해야하기 때문에 다수의 요청을 처리하는 것은 시스템 사양을 결정하게 되는 중요한 요소가 된다. 이러한 서버 기반 인증 방식은 메모리에 부하가 걸리는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 사람들이 들어오는 차량 매칭 서비스에서 토큰 인증 기반 방식인 JWT를 활용하여 기존의 서버에 사용자의 정보를 저장하는 세션 인증 방식보다 좀 더 효율적인 인증 방식을 제안하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the We Start center visiting intervention program on the positive changes in the developmental areas and literacy interests of young children from low-income families. The subjects were 195 young children (109 in the experimental group, M=71.7 months; 86 in the control group, M=73.3 months) living in We Start areas (Ansan, Gwangmyeong, and Suwon cities) of Gyeonggi-do. The We Start center visiting intervention programs were conducted for 30-34 weeks in each city, and pre-tests and post-tests were conducted before and after the intervention programs. The instruments used were the developmental checklist and the literacy interests test The developmental checklist consisted of 7 domains (personality & sociality; language, reading, & writing; scientific thinking; mathematical thinking; arts; social learning; and physical development). The literacy interests test consisted of 2 factors (interest in literacy and interaction during activity). The scores on the developmental checklist showed positive changes in several domains (personality & social development; language, reading, & writing ability; scientific thinking; and social learning), but not in mathematical thinking, arts, and physical development. Second, the results of the literacy interests test showed positive effects on interaction during activity and the total score. In conclusion, the We Start center visiting program for young children from low-income families is an effective early intervention program to end the intergenerational transference of poverty in Korea.

With the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in sight, innovative business models utilizing new technologies are emerging, and startups are enjoying an abundance of opportunities based on the agility to respond to disruptive innovations and the opening to new technologies. However, what is most important in creating a sustainable start-up ecosystem is not the start-up itself, but the process of research-start-investment-investment-the leap to listing and big business-in order to build a virtuous circle of startups that leads to re-investment. To this end, the environment created in the hub area where start-ups were conducted is important, and these material and non-material environmental factors are described as being inclusive by the word "entrepreneurial ecosystem." This study aims to provide implications for Korea's entrepreneurial ecosystem through the study of the interaction of the elements that make up the start-up ecosystem and the relationship of ecosystem participants in Singapore. Singapore has been consistently mentioned as the top two Asian countries in assessing the start-up environment and business environment. In this process, six elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem presented by Isenberg(2010)-policies, finance, culture, support, human resources, and market-are the best frameworks for analyzing entrepreneurial ecosystems in terms of well encompassing prior studies related to entrepreneurial ecosystem elements, and a model of regional transformation is formed focusing on some elements to suit Singapore, the target area of study. By considering that Singapore's political nature would inevitably have a huge impact on finance, Smart Nation policy was having an impact on university education related to entrepreneurship, and that the entrepreneurial networks and global connectivity formed within Singapore's start-up infrastructure had a significant impact on Singapore's start-up's performance, researches needed to look more at the factors of policy, culture and market. In addition, qualitative research of participants in the entrepreneurial ecosystem was essential to understand the internal interaction of the elements of the start-up ecosystem, so the semi-structured survey was conducted by visiting the site. As such, this study examined the status of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem based on qualitative research focused on policies, culture and market elements of Singapore's start-up ecosystem, and intended to provide implications for regulations related to start-ups, the role of universities and start-up infrastructure through comparison with Korea. This could contribute not only to the future research of the start-up ecosystem, but also to the creation of a start-up infrastructure, boosting the start-up ecosystem, and the establishment of the orientation of the start-up education in universities.
