It is unique from other financial institutions that credit unions in Korea have been developed as voluntary activity for enhancing the financial access of the poor in 1960s. However, currently some raise criticism that the cooperative identity as voluntary movement has been weaker. This paper endeavor to analyze the growth of credit unions during 2000s and explain what the implications of their growth are, using data from National Credit Union Federation of Korea. Our findings are as follows; firstly, the development of credit unions in 2000s are able to be regarded as a reflection of the rationale of advocate for quantitative growth. Secondly, the growth of credit unions are mostly dependant on non-taxable deposit, large loan, and collateralized loan which can lead to weaken the identity as voluntary cooperatives. Thirdly, the strategy of quantitative growth cannot be helpful for soundness of asset and profitability, eventually weakening their sustainability.

The main thesis of this article is that the decisive point of creativity education is the cultivation of critical thinking capability. Although the narrow conception of creativity as divergent thinking is not subsumed under that of critical thinking, the role of divergent thinking is not so crucial in the science context of creative problem-solving. On the contrary, the broad conception of creativity as focusing on the reference to utility and the third conception of creativity as a process based on the variation and combination of existing pieces of information are crucial in creative problem-solving context, which are yet subsumed under that of critical thinking. The emphasis on critical thinking education is connected with the characteristics of contemporary knowledge-based society. This rapidly changing society requires situation-adaptive or situation-sensitive cognitive ability, whose core is critical thinking capability. Hence, the education of critical thinking is to be centered on the learning of blowing-how and procedural knowledge but not of knowing-that and declarative knowledge. Accordingly, the learning of critical thinking is to be headed towards the cultivation of competence but not just of performance. In conclusion, when a rational problem-solving through critical and logical thinking turns out consequently to be novel, we call it creative thinking. So, creativity is an emergent property based on critical and logical thinking.

In this paper, a new low power 16-bit ALU has been designed, fabricated and tested at the transistor level. The designed ALU performs 16 instructions and has a two-stage pipelined architecture. For the reduction of switched capacitance, the ELM adder of the proposed ALU is inactive while the logical operation is performed and P(propagation) block has a dual bus architecture. A new efficient P and G(generation) blocks are also proposed for the above ALU architecture. ELM adder, double-edge triggered register and the combination of logic style are used for low power consumption as well. As a result of simulations, the proposed architecture shows better power efficient than conventional architecture$^{[1,2]}$ as the number of logic operation to be performed is increased over that of arithmetic to logic operation to be performed is 7 to 3, compared to conventional architecture. The proposed ALU was fabricated with 0.6${\mu}m$ single-poly triple-metal CMOS process. As a result of chip test, the maximum operating frequency is 53MHz and power consumption is 33mW at 50MHz, 3.3V.

Commonly to design a database system. a conceptual database has to be designed and then it is transformed into a logical database schema prior to building a target database system. This paper proposes a method which transforms a Temporal Entity-Relationship Model(TERM) into a Temporal Object-Oriented Model(TOOM) to build an efficient database schema. I formalize the time concept in view of object versioning and specify the constraints required during transformation procedure. The proposed transformation method contributes to getting the logical temporal data from the conceptual temporal events Without any loss of semantics, Compared to other approaches of supporting various properties, this approach is more general and efficient because it is the semantically seamless transformation method by using the orthogonality of types of objects, semantics of relationships and constraints over roles.

In this paper, we propose a combined synthetic algorithm of the logic level for high speed FPGA design. The algorithm divides critical path to reduce delay time and generates a circuit which the divided circuits execute simultaneously. This kernel selection algorithm is made by C-langage of SUN UNIX. We compare this with the existing FlowMap algorithm. This proposed algorithm shows result on 33.3% reduction of delay time by comparison with the existing algorithm.

In this thesis, a packer is proposed and designed for removing the bottle-neck effect and easy signal processing using a new algorithm with the operation frequency of 54MHz. To verify the performance of the proposed packer, DCT coefficient encoding block with ROM table using a combinational logic is designed and its output data are used the input data of the packer. Circuits in this thesis are designed by using VHDL code and its modeling and simulation are performed by SYNOPSYS tool using $0.65{\mu}m$ rule.

This paper presents a method of constructing the multiple-valued combinational logic systems(MVCLS) by decision diagram. The switching function truth table of MVCLS is transformed into canonical normal form of sum-of-products(SOP) with literals at first. Next, the canonical normal form of SOP is transfered into multiple-valued logic decision diagram(MVLDD). The selecting of variable ordering is very important in this stage. The MVLDDs are quite different from each other according to the variable ordering. Sometimes the inadequate variable ordering produces a very large size of MVLDD means the large size of circuit implementation. An algorithm for generating the proper variable ordering produce minimal MVLDD and an example shows the verity of the algorithm. The circuits are realized with T-gate acceording to the minimal MVLDD.

This paper deals with the development of a design approach to generate easily testable complex digital systems. As the technique is based on small testable building blocks (submodule) with the exhaustive testing circuits, it is not necessary for any automatic test equipment and signature analyzer. As a result ,the test time which is determined not by circuit complexity but sixte of the tarprest submodule, is not exhaustive and also, the circuit reliability is very high.
