Being an element of plastic arts and a language of plastic forms, the color white has significant potential for improving the quality of physical environment. Colors are dealt with scientifically in chromatics, and also often become an interesting topic when analyzing a society and its history and culture. Thus, an in-depth study of the symbolism of color white and, of white pigment are required because the color has not only an important chromatic value and this should be understood a great deal, but also been the important symbol of a culture in a particular period. This paper examined the significance of the color white identified in Asian and Western cultures based on scientific and psychological understanding of the color. This also analyzed a few major white pigments, then demonstrated different methods of using the pigments and various techniques of expression used by Asian and Western painters. In addition, the paper attempted to raise awareness of the color white as chromatic color over non-color by examining the contrasting viewpoints on the color, and the changes in the viewpoints over time and place.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the meaning of the extracurricular activities in the early childhood education institutions because the discussions and the discrepancy between theoretical viewpoint and reality are gradually expanded. For this purpose, the classes of three early childhood education institutes were observed, and interviews with the instructors were conducted where extracurricular activities programs were implemented. The meanings of extracurricular activities in the early childhood education institutes were 'coexistence of newness and pleasure', 'meaning as learning', 'diverse teaching media experience' and 'inevitable limit' in the reality of formal lessons and other situations. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to make comprehensive and complementary approaches between the formal curriculum and extracurricular activities for the future high quality extracurricular activity education. Continuous training and education of the instructor are required for better extracurricular activities.

This paper, the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves in the financial systems of emerging markets mid-to long-term impact on how investigated. The accumulation of foreign exchange reserves in emerging markets is a highly effective means to prevent the recurrence of another financial crisis as well as to minimizing risks of financial crisis. By examining the economic effects of excessive accumulation of foreign exchange reserves on factors such as foreign liabilities, domestic consumption, domestic investment and economic growth from a mid-to long-term perspective, it reduced domestic consumption, but on the other hand, led to the expansion of the trade-related industries based on increase of exports. Although China implements a policy to substantially increase domestic investment, other emerging market countries have stagnant domestic investment activities due to excessive accumulation of foreign exchange reserves. Such fact signifies that excessive accumulation of foreign exchange reserves increases potential risks by depressing the mid-to long-term economic growth through the scale down of trade-related industries.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between globalization and income distribution in Korea. In order to identify the key determinants, the study investigates the effects of trade openness, inward and outward FDI flows, and per capita GDP on income distribution. The study uses methodology of unit root and co-integration technique as well as an error correction model over 1992 to 2011 by using annual data. The empirical findings showed that income inequality is reduced as trade openness and the per capita GDP increase. Meanwhile, income inequality is deteriorated as inward and outward FDI flows increased. In addition, the study revealed that the negative effect of inward FDI flows on income inequality is greater than that of outward FDI flows. This result supports the Feenstra and Hanson (1997) hypothesis. Overall the globalization process can be beneficial for the Korean economy, but its nature should be closely monitored regarding income distribution.

This study examined the work-family compatibility experience of married nurses. The participants of this research were 7 registered nurses who are on the expanding stage of their family life cycle. Data were collected by individual in-depth interviews from June 10 to November 30, 2015 and analyzed using phenomenological methodology by Colaizzi (1978). The results showed that the work-family compatibility experience of married nurses may be categorized into 4 categories, 'the reality of work and parenting', 'external and internal conflicts about the compatibility of work and parenting', 'compromise with reality for solving the difficulty of compatibility', 'growing desire and efforts for compatibility', and may be identified with 12 theme clusters and 29 themes. The worthiness as a professional woman and happiness in child rearing are the driving force of the compatibility of work and family in married nurses. Therefore, the continued support of government policies and family is important for married nurses to maintain work and family balance.

미국에 이민 온 한 한국가정을(정씨 가족) 대상으로 세 번의 면담 (interview) 및 art session을 통해서 이 핵가족 및 확대가족을 다음과 같은 방법으로 분석하여 가족의 유형(family Pattern)과 관계된 이론적 모델(Theocratical model)을 理이해하고 변화되고 있는 Health Program에 있어 간호원이 "변화인자(change agent)"로써의 역활을 재발견하고자한다. 이러한 방법은 가족 및 간호과학에 새로운 접근법이며 간호의 영역이 얼마만큼 확대될 수 있는가를 나타내고 있다. (1) Toman의 Family Cnstellation 이론과 일치되는 점 및 일치되지 않는 점 (2) 한국인 핵가족에서 관찰된 비언어적 의사소통(non-verbal communication)및 이것과 Scheflen의 이론과의 관계 (3) family Theory Bowen의 "differentiation of self"와 "family projection Process"이론에 의한 분석 (4) 핵가족에서 관찰된 상호작용 유형(interactional pattern)을 분석 (5) Art Session을 통해서 관찰된 사항 및 Critique 결과적으로 이 핵가족은 사회적 가치관이 변화된데서 오는 갈등에 직면하고 있다. 우리 나라의 확대가족에서 강조된 경치관은 가족을 하나의 전체로써 보는 "우리 (we-ness)"였는데 이것은 일상사용하고 있는 언어에도 영향을 미치고 있는 것을 볼 수 있어 즉, "내 동생 (my sister)"이라고 하는 대신 "우리 동생 (our sister)"이라고 하는데 여기에서 언어가 뜻하는 의미와는 거리가 먼 것을 알 수 있다. 정씨 부부는 미국적 정치관을 인식해서 그들의 상호작용 유형을 긍정적이고 개방적인 토의방법으로(positive open-discuses) 접근해야 한다. 이 핵가족의 부부는 둘 다 유교사상이 강조된 가정에서 자라나, 이 부부가 결혼한지 오 년이나 되었으나 언어적 의사소통이 (verbal communication)굉장히 제한된 것을 쓸 수 있다. 인간의 경험들은 인간이 접하고 있는 사회와의 상호작용에 의해서 결정된다. 사회가 배화함에 따라서 가족도 변화할 것이다. "변화는 언제나 사회에서 부터 가족으로 온다. 이 변화는 절대 작은 단위에서 큰 단위로 오는 것이 아니다.…그러나 가족구조는(family structure) 환경이 변화함에 따라서 적응해야 한다."라고 Minuchin이 지적한 것 같이 정씨 부부가 직면하고 있는 여러 가지 갈등은 이 핵가족이 그들의 가치관 및 상호 작용유형을 변형(repattering) 시키므로써, 복잡하고 다양한 미국사회에서 성장할 수 있는 좋은 기회를 만들어 주고 있다. 세 번의 면담시간은 각 30분이었으나 Volume 생략한 것을 부기하여 둔다.

The nationwide expansion of the agricultural early warning service for agrometeorological disaster would require assessment of geographical and agricultural environmental characteristics by individual region. The development of an efficient computing environment would facilitate such services for the area of study region to deal with various crops and varieties for many farms. In particular, the design of the computing environment would have a considerable impact on the service quality of agriculture meteorology when the scale of computing environments increases for extended service areas. The objectives of this study were to derive the issues on the current computing environment under which services are provided by each region and to seek the solutions to these problems. The self-evaluation through experimental operation for about a year indicated that integration of the early warning service system distributed over different regions would reduce redundant computing procedures and ensure efficient storage and comprehensive management of data. This suggested that the early warning service for agrometeorological disaster would become more stable even when the service areas are to be expanded to the national scale. This would contribute to higher quality services for individual farmers.

For the recent several years, there has been much interest in lexical semantic network However it seems to be very difficult to evaluate the effectiveness and correctness of it and invent the methods for applying it into various problem domains. In order to offer the fundamental ideas about how to evaluate and utilize lexical semantic networks, we developed two automatic vol·d clustering systems, which are called system A and system B respectively. 68.455.856 words were used to learn both systems. We compared the clustering results of system A to those of system B which is extended by the lexical-semantic network. The system B is extended by reconstructing the feature vectors which are used the elements of the lexical-semantic network of 3.656 '-ha' verbs. The target data is the 'multilingual Word Net-CoroNet'. When we compared the accuracy of the system A and system B, we found that system B showed the accuracy of 46.6% which is better than that of system A. 45.3%.

Developing English-Korean machine translation system requires the construction of information about the languages, and the amount of information in English-Korean transfer dictionary is especially critical to the translation quality. Newly created words are out-of-vocabulary words and they appear as they are in the translated sentence, which decreases the translation quality. Also, compound nouns make lexical and syntactic analysis complex and it is difficult to accurately translate compound nouns due to the lack of information in the transfer dictionary. In order to improve the translation quality of English-Korean machine translation, we must continuously expand the information of the English-Korean transfer dictionary by collecting the out-of-vocabulary words and the compound nouns frequently used. This paper proposes a method for expanding of the transfer dictionary, which consists of constructing corpus from internet newspapers, extracting the words which are not in the existing dictionary and the frequently used compound nouns, attaching meaning to the extracted words, and integrating with the transfer dictionary. We also develop the tool supporting the expansion of the transfer dictionary. The expansion of the dictionary information is critical to improving the machine translation system but requires much human efforts. The developed tool can be useful for continuously expanding the transfer dictionary, and so it is expected to contribute to enhancing the translation quality.
