The purpose of present study is to investigate what is the most important factor among personality, social relation perception, and cultural influence on North Korean Defectors' self-enhancement bias, and how their self-enhancement bias influences on their psychological adaptation in South Korea. To implement this, we compared the self-enhancement bias of South Korean undergraduates and North Korean Defector undergraduates, and social desirability, too. However, there was no significant result. Based on this outcome, we focused on 121 North Korean Defectors' self-enhancement bias mechanism. We found that personality and social relation perception factors influenced significantly on their self- enhancement bias and furthermore their self-enhancement bias affected on their psychological adaptation. In addition to this, we identified sex difference at this mechanism. That is, women showed the same pattern with the existing findings in the study of self-enhancement bias mechanism, but men showed somewhat different pattern.

This study is performed to identify attribution styles of the North Korean Defectors more accurately. For this purpose, cartoon-form method designed to measure attributions is used and total 129 subjects including comparison group of South Koreans are participated in this research. Interestingly, the result showed that two groups had similar and different attribution styles at the same time. That is, there is a common aspect in using internal attributions more in general, but there is also a different aspect in that South Koreans used internal attribution much more. These tendencies emerged similarly at the controllable and uncontrollable attribution dimension. However, the results demonstrated that South Koreans mainly used stable attribution and the North Korean Defectors used unstable attribution at the stable and unstable attribution dimension. And, the attributional styles of both koreans appeared consistently in a variety of scenarios. Finally, there was the stronger relationship between North Korean defectors' life satisfaction and attributional styles.

Many countermeasures for local scour at bridge piers constructed on the river and sea have been developed and researched to protect piers against local scour. The most commonly employed method is riprap protection, which is sometimes required the filter installation between riprap and base layers. However, the construction of stone filters are really hard to perform in the field, require the high cost, or sometimes are impossible. The experimental modeling is conducted to analyze the riprap failure modes and the stability of riprap protection without filters based on the different approach velocity and riprap layer thickness conditions. Also, the stability index to evaluate the performance of riprap protection is developed using the experimental results. The cover and thickness of the riprap layer play a very important role in the stability and thicker riprap layers can prevent a total disintegration of the riprap layer effectively, especially due to winnowing failure.

Riprap filter should be installed around the pier to prevent riprap subsidence due to sediment winnowing or leaching between the riprap and bed layers. However, riprap protection without filters is commonly applied in the field because of ambiguous specifications and technical and economical difficulties to install the filter layer. Therefore, the hydraulic experiments were conducted in this study to measure and analyze the riprap subsidence quantitatively with different conditions for thickness of riprap layer, approached velocity, sizes of riprap and bed material. As the velocity was increased and size of bed material and thickness of riprap layer were decreased, the subsidence was increased. Consequently, the dimensionless riprap subsidence equation was derived using the synthesized experimental results. The results of this study could be employed as a standard criterion or predictor to evaluate the subsidence stability.

통신서비스 시장은 유무선 및 통신과 방송서비스의 컨버전스화가 진행됨에 따라 미래 시장에서의 경쟁구도에 관심이 집중되고 있다 최근 영국, 이탈리아 등 유립을 중심으로 지배적 사업자의 병목설비에 대한조직분리의 일환으로 기능분리가 활발하게 논의 및 도입되고 있다. 이 중 이탈리아는 TI에 대한 운영분리 수준의 구조규제를 기능분리 수준으로 강화하였다. 이는 운영분리와 같은 구조적인 조치에도 불구하고 TI의 지배력 유지, 경쟁 사업자들의 지속적 불만 제기 등의 문제가 해결되지 않은데다가 TI의 소유구조 변화에 따른 네트워크의 안정성 및 보안성에 대한 우려에 따른 것으로 해석되고 있다. 이탈리아의 기능분리는 동등접속을 위한 사업부로 Open Access의 설립, 신규 인센티브 제도, 각종 투명성 확보장치, 감독기관의 신설 등의 내용이 포함되어 있으며 근본적인 원칙은 영국의 경우와 유사하다. TI는 기능분리를 통해 규제기관과의 관계 개선, 소매시장 규제완화 등의 효과를 기대하고 있으며 2008년 2월 Open Access를 출범하였다.

The classification and evaluation of cooking that is being published on the internet are presented without scientific criteria based on individual subjective factors. In this paper, we objectified the degree of cooking difficulty based on the information entropy. And we measured the similarity by calculating the common entropy between recipes and constructed a social network based on the recipe similarity. As a result of measuring the cooking difficulty, 'Dongtae Haemul-jjim' (Korean) and 'Vegetarian Lasagna' (Italy) are the most difficult recipes and 'Gochu-jang' (Korean) and 'Tofu steak' (Italy) are the easiest recipes. Through the recipe network, the similarity between Korean and Asian cooking is higher than Western cuisine. We showed a similar recipe to a particular cooking, the group of similar recipes, and reasonable schedule when preparing the menu from the viewpoint of ease of cooking.

This study proposes the traffic prediction and optimal traffic control system based on cell transmission model and genetic algorithm in cloud environment. The proposed prediction and control system consists of four parts. 1) Data preprocessing module detects and imputes the corrupted data and missing data points. 2) Data-driven traffic prediction module predicts the future traffic state using Multi-level K-Nearest Neighbor (MK-NN) Algorithm with stored historical data in SQL database. 3) Online traffic simulation module simulates the future traffic state in various situations including accident, road work, and extreme weather condition with predicted traffic data by MK-NN. 4) Optimal road control module produces the control strategy for large road network with cell transmission model and genetic algorithm. The results show that proposed system can effectively reduce the Vehicle Hours Traveled upto 60%.

This paper uses the error correction model to analyse dynamic gasoline price adjustments of the four refiners. Unlike the existing studies, this model allows a refiner's asymmetric adjustment to changes in the other refiners' prices as well as in its own price and costs. With the estimation results, we can obtain the following findings. First, there are the asymmetric price adjustments to changes in exchange rate and international gasoline price, but showing opposing directions. Second, for most of the refiners, the prices respond immediately to the lagged deviation from the long run equilibrium price, but asymmetrically respond for a few refiners. Third, there are some refiners that adjust their price to the other refiners' price deviation from the long run equilibrium. For some refiners, there are competitive price adjustments to the others' price deviations. These findings imply that a refiner faces inelastic demand, intends to maintain implicitly a relative level of its own price to others, and tends to respond competitively to the others' price deviation from the equilibrium.

This study aimed to develop an educational program on cervical cancer prevention and human papillomavirus (HPV) for female North Korean refugees and to assess the effect of the program. This study used a nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design. The participants were 42 female North Korean refugees in their 20s residing in South Korea. Measurements included cervical cancer knowledge, HPV knowledge, attitude toward HPV vaccination, and intention for HPV vaccination. Statistically significant differences emerged in levels of cervical cancer knowledge (U = 40.00, p < .001), HPV knowledge (U = 4.50, p < .001), and attitude toward HPV vaccination (U = 128.00, p = .013) between the experimental and control group. The educational program is an effective nursing intervention to improve cervical cancer knowledge, HPV knowledge, and attitude toward HPV vaccination of female North Korean refugees. Stakeholders must work to establish health policies to reduce health disparities between South and North Korean women to prepare for unification.
