일상어는 한 사회의 모든 구성원이 쉽게 이해할 수 있고 사회생활에서 아무런 어려움이 없이 상호간에 의사소통을 할 수 있는 언어의 표현 수단이다. 이에 반하여 학술어는 각각의 전문분야에서 사용되고 있는 언어의 한 형태이다. 학술적 텍스트에서 나타나는 일반적인 특징은 글이 객관적이면서도 명확하게 기술된다는 점이다. 일반독자는 자주 사용되는 전문어휘를 통하여 학술적 텍스트를 가장 쉽게 인식할 수 있으며, 또한 텍스트의 구성에 있어서도 학술적 텍스트가 일반 텍스트와 다르다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 이 외에도 독일어에서는 일정한 문법적 현상들이 학술적 전문어의 요소로서 사용되고 있다. 예를 들면 삼인칭 단수, 부사구, 명사화 경향, 기능동사구의 선호, 수동구문 등등이 있다. 일반적으로 학술적 전문어에 자주 사용되고 있는 문법적 요소 중의 하나가 수동구문이다. 학술어의 요소로서 수동구문이 갖는 언어적 기능은 다음과 같다: 1. 수동구문에서는 일반적으로 행위자가 언급되지 않음으로써 사실이 객관적으로 표현되며, 동시에 행위자의 억제는 언어의 경제성에 기여한다. 2. 경우에 따라서 행위자가 표현될 때, 직접적인 행위의 주체를 나타내는 von-전치사구 혹은 매개체나 원인을 표현하는 durch-전치사구를 통하여 사건을 정확하게 기술할 수 있다. 3. 테마-레마 구조와 관련하여 살펴보면 문장구성 혹은 문장연결을 위한 표현수단으로도 수동구문은 활용된다. 4. 수동구문을 사용함으로써 문체상의 단조롭고 획일적인 점을 회피할 수도 있다. 본 논문은 이와 같이 수동구문이 지니고 있는 언어적 기능을 살펴봄으로써 학술적 전문어의 특징과 전문어를 이해하는데 기여한다.

The paper tried to determine relationships between volunteering and hypertension risks, symptom betterment, activity difficulty occurrences, and medicine treatment among middle-aged and older adults, with a prospective cohort study. Multilevel mixed-effects generalized linear models were used for the analysis of longitudinal panel data collected over 10 years from 2008 to 2018, using 5,867 cohort samples. The results showed that those who volunteered at least 200 hours per year were 3.4 times more lower than not-volunteering in risks of hypertension, those who volunteered yearly 50~99 hours were a lot more improved than not-volunteering in the symptom betterment, those who volunteered yearly at least 200 hours were 7.7 times lower than not-volunteering in activity difficulty occurrences, and those who volunteered yearly 50~99 hours were 2.5 times lower than not-volunteering in the occurrences of medicine treatment. These indicate that volunteering among middle-aged and older adults may have health benefits against incident hypertension. Finally the thesis discusses the study limitations, future directions of studies, and the practices implications.

This study aims to propose desirable operational strategies for public library programs as a means to alleviate the daily difficulties faced by married immigrant women. To achieve this, We conducted an analysis of 326 multicultural programs from 132 institutions, all of which were supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2022. The purpose was to gain an understanding of the current situation and identify any issues related to these programs. Additionally, we conducted interviews with married immigrant women to gain insights into the challenges they encounter in Korean society and to determine their specific demands regarding library programs. Furthermore, we interviewed librarians responsible for multicultural services to better comprehend their experiences in managing such programs and to understand their perceptions of multicultural services for married immigrant women. Based on these findings, we have proposed four operational strategies for public library programs targeting married immigrant women. These strategies include: 1) Program content, 2) Program operation method, 3) Building a personal network and utilizing human resources, 4) Collaboration with other institutions.

In this study, we analyze the phenomena of professional development under the four categories: motivation toward entering college of education, pedagogical content knowledge, study of subject matter and future vision. We conducted a survey method for almost 60 computer education majors at S university ranging from freshman up to junior levels and interviewed 5 selected participants. According to SPSS analysis, there was no significant level difference in any category while male students responded more positively than female students in all the categories. To explore the survey results deeply, we selected 3 students from sophomore and junior levels and 2 extra senior students to conduct interviews. The interpretation of the data indicated how their academic problems revealed due to heavy curricular loads seeking second major and difficulties of pursuing pedagogical contents knowledge.
