There are many image processing based algorithms and applications that fail when illumination change occurs. Therefore, the illumination change has to be detected then the illumination change occurred images need to be enhanced in order to keep the appropriate algorithm processing in a reality. In this paper, a new method for detecting illumination changes efficiently in a real time by using local region information and fuzzy logic is introduced. The effective way for detecting illumination changes in lighting area and the edge of the area was selected to analyze the mean and variance of the histogram of each area and to reflect the changing trends on previous frame's mean and variance for each area of the histogram. The ways are used as an input. The changes of mean and variance make different patterns w hen illumination change occurs. Fuzzy rules were defined based on the patterns of the input for detecting illumination changes. Proposed method was tested with different dataset through the evaluation metrics; in particular, the specificity, recall and precision showed high rates. An automatic parameter selection method was proposed for contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization method by using entropy of image through adaptive neural fuzzy inference system. The results showed that the contrast of images could be enhanced. The proposed algorithm is robust to detect global illumination change, and it is also computationally efficient in real applications.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine underlying types of developmental trajectories of adaptation to child care among infants and toddlers. This study also aimed to identify latent classes in their child care adaptation types in order to find predictors that account for individual differences. Methods: Participants were 420 mothers of infants and toddlers and 123 teachers. The levels of child care adaptation of participating infants and toddlers were rated monthly from early April to June, 2019. The collected data were analyzed using growth mixture modeling, latent class analysis and multinominal logistic analysis. Results: The results of growth trajectories of child care adaptation showed there were two to four latent groups by dimension of child care adaptation. Also, the groups of individual dimensions of child care adaptation were classified into three latent classes, which were 'complying and positive group', 'negative group', and 'individualized group. Multinominal logistic analysis revealed that children's age, gender, and temperament differentiated the three latent classes of adaptation to child care. Conclusion/Implications: The results show individual characteristics that infants and toddlers possess should be prudently considered in order for successful adaptation to child care.

기후변화로 인한 자연재해가 전 세계적으로 빈번히 발생하고 있는 요즘, 기후변화에 대한 관심이 부쩍 높아지고 있다. IPCC 4차보고서(2007)에서는 기후변화의 영향으로 인한 재해발생 증가가 불가피함을 지적하고 기후변화의 악영향을 최소화하기 위한 적응조치의 중요성을 권고하고 있다. 국내에서도 이미 기후변화로 인한 영향이 자연환경 및 생활환경 전반에 끼칠 정도로 빠르게 진행되고 있음을 다방면의 연구를 통해 드러나고 있다. 그러나 현재까지는 기후변화에 대한 전반적인 인식 부족, 대응제도 및 장치의 미비와 더불어 이에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화의 징후현상 및 이에 기인한 자연재해의 이력을 조사하고 향후 재해 발생 및 증가추이에 대한 예측 자료를 분석하여 기후변화로 인한 자연재해의 대응책 마련에 필요한 기초적인 자료를 제공하고자 한다. IPCC 4차 보고서 및 국내외 연구문헌 등을 조사하여 기후변화에 따른 재해에 대해 분석한 결과 전 세계적으로 실제 강우 및 기온, 해수면 상승 등에 대한 재해는 해마다 증가하는 추세이며 향후 이에 대한 대책마련이 시급한 것으로 확인되었다. 국내에서도 기후변화에 기인한 홍수 및 태풍 등의 재해로 인해 많은 피해가 발생하고 있으며 향후 이러한 영향이 더욱 증가될 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이러한 기후변화의 영향이 이미 자연재해로 이어지고 있는 만큼 이에 대처하기 위한 전문 인력 양성 및 국가차원에서의 장기적인 제도마련 등이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

Purpose: This study aims to propose a framework for climate change risk management by analyzing characteristics of climate-induced disasters. Method: The recent global and domestic trends of loss and damage under natural disaster events and the characteristics of climate-induced disasters were analyzed to design a framework for climate change risk management. Results: In consideration of the uncertainty of climate risk and various spatio-temporal scales of climate disasters, a new framework is suggested for comprehensive climate risk management that includes risk assessment, goal setting, planning, monitoring and evaluation, learning and adjustment. The framework aims at an iterative process that is activated by stakeholder engagement. Conclusion: Pilot studies need to be conducted to revise and polish the framework in the future, and institutional arrangements should be prepared for the effective implementation of the comprehensive climate risk management.

WCDMA system is 3rd generation wireless mobile system specified by 3GPP. In WCDMA downlink, two power control schemes are operated. One is inner loop power control operated in every slot. Another is outer loop power control based on one frame time. Base station (BS) can estimate proper transmission power by these two power control schemes. However, because each MS's transmission power makes a severe effect on BS's performance, BS cannot give excessive transmission power to the specific user. 3GPP defined Power Control Dynamic Range (PCDR) to guarantee proper BS's performance. In this paper, we propose Adaptive PCDR algorithm. By APCDR algorithm, Radio Network Controller (RNC) can estimate each MS's current state using received signal to interference ratio (SIR). APCDR algorithm changes MS's maximum code channel power based on frame. By proposed scheme, each MS can reduce wireless channel effect and endure outages in cell edge. Therefore, each MS can obtain better QoS. Simulation result indicate that APCDR algorithm show more attractive output than fixed PCDR algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the university academic achievements on the high school graduates of specialized vocational high school and general high school selected by the university admissions officer system. The implications of this study will contribute to improve development of university admission through the analysis of university admission achievements and correlation between university admission factors and university academic achievements. Participants of this study were university students selected by admission officer system in 2011 and have enrolled in the university for 6 semesters at A university. The results of this study are as follows: First, when it comes to the grades of university admission factors, graduates from specialized vocational high school outperformed those from general high school. Second, when it comes to the correlation between university academic achievements and university admission factors, graduates from specialized vocational high school slightly outperformed those from general high school. Third, when it comes to the correlation between university academic achievements and university academic achievements, graduates from specialized vocational high school showed poorer performance than those from general high school in overall courses and liberal arts courses. However, in major courses, graduates from specialized vocational high school outperformed those from general high school. Finally, when it comes to the development of university academic achievements, both of them showed a tendency of being improved as they advanced through school. Based on the findings of this study, several implications can be made as follows: First, it is necessary to improve the application ratio and application method of university admission factors. Second, it is required to provide preparatory courses of university to help graduates from specialized high school get adapted to university course of study.

As the competition among college graduates in the job market keeps getting intense, the educators' role of preparing students to get well adapted to the job environments should be more emphasized. However, in reality, many firms admit that many entry-level employees out of college need to be reeducated in a variety of areas. To resolve this problem, the current paper aims to propose some suggestions for a better school curriculum that reflects the needs and demands of the industry. The present proposal is based on my empirical knowledge from the department of computer science of the college where I am teaching and can be applied to other colleges. The suggestions for restructuring of a curriculum are expected to help students actively deal with the trend of developing technology. This restructured curriculum should help colleges produce workers with a good balance of academy and industry who can be assigned to work without being reeducated in the field.

Transportation culture is an inseparable part of a group's overall culture. Since the term "transportation" is directly related to vehicular movement, I would like to propose the more general term: transportation culture and use that in the following paragraphs. Transportation culture is on one hand expressed by the consumers of transportation services reflecting their overall social culture and on the other hand taken into account by transportation professionals. Ministry of Land and Transportation conducted the Transportation Culture Index, a nationally representative survey, to assess a few key indicators of the degree to which ttransportation culture is valued and is being pursued every year. In this study, recommendation for TCI are explained based on theoretical framework and changing environment.

Regarding human capital development and the competitive advantage of regional economies, the transfer of local university graduates to the local labor market is a very important factor. This study aims to investigate the employment structure of university graduates and spatial patterns of their jobs, and the job search strategies to enter the employment system with a case study of Chonnam National University graduates. Because of the lagged industrial structure and peripheral location of Kwangju/Chonnam Province, the employment rate of the university graduates is generally lower than a national average. And there is a strong tendency of the concentration of job places on the metropolitan areas on the one hand, and on the Kwangju/chonnarn and Capital region of Korea on the other. University graduates in searching for jobs especially prefer spatial mobility toward job opportunities In other regions to promoting the flexibility of job qualifications to meet labor market demands. Based on the results of the study, we can identify a process of so-called train drains'in both quantitative and qualitative terms, and conclude that the role of the Chonnam National University in promoting regional development potentials and local labor market conditions is Quite restrictive.
