In this study, we consider to assess the information ability of individuals related to local information. Questionnaire surveys are frequently used for studies on the measuring of information index and such specified indexes of society development. However, if questionnaire papers measured individuals' abilities and such parts of quality, the subjective judgments of respondents cannot but be intervened. Therefore a method which will enable subjective points to be comparatively objectified is needed. In this study, when an attempt is being made to measure individuals' information capacity through questionnaire surveys as the process for calculating the standards of regional information levels. Cases have been looked at for times when, by using a scorecard, individuals' subjective survey result have been be changed to be comparatively objectified scores and such process. The logit model was used in the preparation of the scorecard. In this study, we have presented a clue which enables the comparative measurement about regional information gaps by using characteristics of regional population statistics.

We explored the relationship between the level of change awareness and deployment of software process improvement (SPI) approaches using a competing values framework. To measure awareness level of organization's change, we used DICE framework provides means for predicting the outcome of change management initiatives. The four factors for organizaton's change: duration, integrity, commitment, and effort are evaluated and a score is calculated. The DICE(R) score is used to classify projects into win, worry, or woe zones. In this paper, we apply the DICE(R) score as an independent variable to predict the outcome of a software process improvement. Our results indicated that the Organization have a higher chance of success have the better outcome in software process improvement.

Since the preexisting evaluation methods of landslide susceptibility take somehow long time to determine the slope stability based on the field survey and laboratory analysis, there are several problems to acquire immediate evaluation results in the field. In order to overcome the previously mentioned problems and incorrect evaluation results induced by some subjective evaluation criteria and methods, this study tried to develop a method of landslide susceptibility by a quantitative and objective evaluation approach based on the field survey. Therefore, this study developed an evaluation chart for landslide susceptibility on natural terrain using the AHP analysis method to predict landslide hazards on the field sites. The AHP analysis was performed by a questionnaire to several specialists who understands mechanism and influential factors of landslide. Based on the questionnaire, weighting values of criteria and alternatives to influence landslide triggering were determined by the AHP analysis. According to the scoring results of the analysed weighting values, slope angle is the most significant factor. Permeability, water contents, porosity, lithology, and elevation have the significance to the landslide susceptibility in a descending order. Based on the assigned scores of each criterion and alternatives of the criteria, an evaluation chart for landslide susceptibility was suggested. The evaluation chart makes it possible for a geologist to evaluate landslide susceptibility with a total score summed up each alternative score.

This study aims to examine the level of fear and the influential factors affecting their dental fear and to utilize the result as the basic materials in the dental management. The subjects were the students from a middle school located in Cheongju-City. The school was selected by convenient sampling and self-answered questionnaire was filled in by the students for a week from December 19th 2011. The survey result showed that 77 male students and 169 female students(total 246 students) answered 'yes' to the question 'Have you ever felt fear when you visited a dentist?' among 475 students who had visited a dentist in the past. The distribution of responses in each category of fear was examined by frequency analysis. The study results showed significant difference in the item of 'causing irritation during the dental treatments' between male students and female students (p<0.05). Converting the level of fear into scores after marking the answers, the score of male students was 52.0 points and the score of female students was 58.53 showing the score of female students was significantly higher in statistics. Moreover, the fear score of female students for the category 'causing irritation during the dental treatments' was also significantly higher in statistics(p<0.05). Therefore, these results should be reflected to the dental care environments in order for the adolescent to reduce the dental anxiety and fear.

Objectives: The object of this study was to compare between perceived stress, coping strategies and quality of life between parents of childhood cancer and normal controls. Methods: Global assessment of recent stress(GARS) scale and symptom checklist-90-revised (SCL-90-R) were used to measure perception for stressors and stress responses(psychopathology). Coping scale and Smithklein Beecham quality of life scale were used to measure coping strategies and quality of life. Results: Scores of perceived stress related to interpersonal, changes in relationship, sickness or illness, financial, unusual happenings on the GARS scale were significantly higher in parents of childhood cancer than normal controls. Scores of the SCL-90-R, somatization, depression, anxiety, hostility subscale were also significantly higher in parents of childhood cancer than normal controls. Scores of self control and positive reappraisal were significantly higher in parents of childhood cancer than normal controls. Parents of childhood cancer scored significantly lower in quality of life than normal controls. Scores of depression were also significantly higher in parents of children diagnosed as acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL) than those as acute nonlymphocytic leukemia(ANLL). Conclusions: The results suggest that patients with parents of childhood cancer were likely to have higher levels of perceived stressor and psychopathology and lower quality of life than normal controls.

Objectives : This study examined the characteristics and differences of PAI(Personality Assessment Inventory) profile between compensation-seeking(CS) and treatment-seeking(TS) patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI) and assessed the clinical meaning of the characteristics and differences of profiles between the two groups. Methods : 36 TBI patients who visited the Wonkwang University Hospital were selected. The patients were categorized as compensation-seeking TBI patients(n=22) and treatment-seeking TBI patients(n=14). The PAI scales and subscales were used to compare differences between two groups. t-verification for each variable and comparison analysis were performed. Results:In validity scales, CS group showed significantly higher NIM scores and lower PIM scores than TS groups. In full scales, CS group showed significantly higher SOM, ANX, ARD, DEP, and SCZ scores than TS group. In subscales, CS group showed significantly higher SOM-S, ANX-A, ARD-P, DEP(-C, A, P), (MAN-I), PAR-H, SCZ(-T, P), BOR(-A, N), and ANT-S scores than TS groups. In supplementary scales, CS group showed significantly higher SUI, NON and AGG-P, and lower RXR scores than TS group. Conclusions:There were significant differences in PAI scales with validity scales, some full and subscales according to compensation seeking status in TBI patients. The CS patients tended to exaggerate their symptoms on PAI, and showed higher scores representing somatic preoccupation and emotional distress. These results show the usefulness of PAI in reflecting the significant psychological differences between two groups.

In this study, the quality characteristics of retort Tteok (Korean rice cake) prepared with various dextrinization times were investigated during storage. The moisture content of the retort Tteok made with dextrinized rice was 43.19-43.34% at 0 day and there were no differences in the samples during storage. As dextrinization time increased, the L value of the retort Tteok decreased, and the a and b values increased. Again there were no differences in the samples during storage. In the texture profiles, the hardness, gumminess and chewiness of the retort Tteok increased with increasing dextrinization time for all the samples, except the ones that were dextrinized for 32 minutes. The adhesiveness of the retort Tteok increased with decreasing dextrinization time, and springiness and cohesiveness did not differ among the samples. Also, the quality characteristics showed no differences after 15 days of storage. In the sensory evaluation, color, smell and delicate taste were significantly different between the retort Tteok made with rice dextrinized over 16 minutes and that made with no dextrinized rice. The retort Tteok with rice dextrinized for 16 minutes showed the highest score in the softness. Storage times up to 120 days made no differences in the sensory evaluation measurements. These results indicate that a dextrinization time of 16 minutes seems to give the best quality to retort Tteok made with dextrinized rice.

개인화된 서술형 수학 문제(mathematics word problem)는 오랫동안 연구된 분야로 학생들의 학업 성취도와 수학에 대한 태도에 관심을 가져왔다. 본 연구에서는 2013년 도입된 스토리텔링 수학에 개인화된 콘텐츠를 접목하여 그 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 초등학생 26명을 대상으로 하여 약 110분 동안 수업을 진행하였으며, 무게에 대한 새로운 개념을 배우는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 각각 13명씩 개인화 그룹과 비 개인화 그룹으로 나누어 수업을 진행하였다. 학업 성취도(Learning Achievement)에서는 사전 시험(pre-test) 점수가 너무 높아 두 그룹 간에 서로간의 유의한 차이점을 발견하지 못했다. 수학에 대한 태도 부분과 몰입도(Flow) 부분에서는 다소 개인화 그룹의 값이 높았지만, 통계적으로 유의한 정도는 차이는 아니었다. 하지만 정성적 분석에서는 차이가 있었다. 개인화 그룹(Personalized group)은 비 개인화 그룹(non-personalized group)에 비해 개인화(personalization)가 수업의 재미있는 요소로서 보다 중요한 작용을 했다고 느꼈다. 또한, 테스트나 측정(measure) 부분에서 생겼던 문제점을 개선하여 재 실험이 있을 시엔 유의미한 값을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.
