일반적으로 기술융합이라는 용어는 IT, BT, NT 등 성격이 다른 큰 범주에서 기술간의 결합으로 인식되고 있다. 현재까지의 기술융합 연구들은 IT기술을 중심으로 한 융합과 관련 국가 정책에 관한 것이 대부분을 차지하고 있어 큰 기술 범주 위주에 국한되어 있다. 하지만 동일한 목적을 위해 수행하는 유사 기술영영에서의 기술융합 역시 기술혁신의 수단으로 간과할 수 없는 영역이다. 실제로 미국, 유럽 등의 선진국에서는 기술융합 전담기관을 신설하여 프로젝트 내의 기술간 융합에 관심을 갖고 있지만, 국내에서는 프로젝트 범위의 기술융합 가능성 및 실효성에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지식경제부에서 수행하는 가스하이드레이트 연구개발사업을 실증사례로 하여 프로젝트 범위의 기술 융합에 관하여 기술융합의 필요성, 적용가능성, 실효성에 초점을 맞추어 고찰하였다. 가스하이드레이트 개발 사업은 지식경제부 내 가스하이드레이트 개발사업단 주관으로 2005년에 시작되었으며 2014년까지 I 지역 탐사 및 시추, II 지역 탐사 및 시추, 시험생산의 3단계의 달성목표를 가지고 있다. 가스하이드레이트는 천연가스가 저온 고압 상태에서 물과 결합해 형성된 고체 에너지로 화석연료 고갈에 따라 이를 대체할 가장 유력한 청정에너지원으로 주목받고 있다. 현재 가스하이드레이트 개발사업단에서는 지구물리탐사분야 지질지화학분야 개발생산분야로 세부 기술모듈을 형성하여 목표달성을 위해 노력하고 있지만, 중과제간 교류가 부족한 상황으로 인해 목표달성을 위한 기술력의 확보 및 향후 상업생산에 대한 불확실성이 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 이와 같은 상황을 해결하기 위해서 기술개발 및 혁신의 수단인 기술융합의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 기술혁신은 기초연구, 응용연구, 개발, 학습, 투자 등의 일련의 과정을 거쳐 경제적 성과와 사회적 영향을 만들어내는 개념으로 정의 할 수 있다. 기술혁신을 이루어내는 가장 중심적인 역할을 담당하는 기술융합은 2개 이상의 요소기술들이 결합하여 기술이 갖지 않는 새로운 기능을 발휘하는 기술혁신의 한 현상으로 정의할 수 있다. 기술융합은 21세기 초에 접어들어 급속하게 변화하는 양상을 보이며 예상보다 경제에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 가스하이드레이트 각 단계에서의 애로점을 극복하기 위한 기술혁신을 위해 지구물리탐사 지질지화학 개발생산분야간의 융합의 가능성 등을 타진해본 결과, 각 기술융합들을 기술융합 유형에 맞춰 분류할 수 있었으며 유형별 적용가능성과 기대효과 측면에서 비교분석을 수행하였다. 분석의 정밀도를 높이기 위하여 기술융합 유형에 대한 이론과 실제 가스하이드레이트 전문가들과의 설문을 통해 비교분석을 실시하였다. 가스하이드레이트 실증 사례에 대한 분석 결과, 기술융합 이론은 기존의 큰 기술범주뿐만 아니라 작은 범주에도 적용할 수 있으며, 필요성과 적용가능성, 실효성 면에서도 충분한 고찰을 통해 기술융합 이론의 적용 범위를 좁히면 더 많은 연구와 융합기술을 얻을 수 있다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다.

Korea has been preparing and operating crisis management standardized manuals so that over 30 disaster types that need to be managed at the national level can be selected and systematically managed. This study analyzed the crisis alert levels of two standard manuals related to the case with reference to the contents of the Framework Act on the Management of Disaster and Safety and National Crisis Management Basic Guidelines. According to the Act and Guidelines, crisis alerts are issued before a crisis or disaster, but the criteria of crisis alerts of the two manuals showed that the national crisis had already occurred and the disaster occurred due to a marine vessel accident at the serious level. In addition, the results of timing of issuance of crisis alert were reviewed. If the signs can be identified, a crisis alert may be issued prior to the occurrence of the incident, but a crisis alert cannot be issued when an incident occurs without a sign. In the case of an incident where there are no signs, but there is a possibility of spreading to a national level disaster, the disaster management supervision agency could issue a crisis alert.

This study analyzed academic information seeking behavior, focusing on university students, the main users of the university library, to derive considerations for the development and improvement of the subject guide of the university library. As a result of the analysis, university students highly evaluated their subjective information seeking ability, but it was found that it was difficult to set specific search terms. The purpose of using academic information is specific, and it has been shown that there is a tendency to perform all information search activities in one database. In addition, when selecting information resources, reliability, suitability, and recency are primarily taken into consideration. Awareness of university libraries and subject guides was generally low, but their reliability was found to be high. Based on this, it is necessary to consider the classification of information sources according to specific information seeking purposes, the composition of information resources, explanatory element technology related to information resource selection criteria, comprehensive database, topic keyword recommendation, library marketing, and close cooperation with internal institutions.

Considering the expenditure size of public institutions centering on public enterprises, about 28% of Korea's GDP in 2007, public institutions have significant influence on the Korean economy. However, still in the new government, there are voices of criticism about the need of constant reform on public enterprises due to their irresponsible management impeding national competitiveness. Especially, political controversy over appointment of executives such as CEOs of public enterprises has caused the distrust of the people. As one of various reform measures for public enterprises, this study analyzes the effect of internal governance structure of public enterprises on their managerial performance, since, regardless of privatization of public enterprises, improving the governance structure of public enterprises is a matter of great importance. There are only a few prior researches focusing on the governance structure and managerial performance of public enterprises compared to those of private enterprises. Most of prior researches studied the relationship between parachuting employment of CEO and managerial performance, and concluded that parachuting produces negative effect on managerial performance. However, different from the results of such researches, recent studies suggest that there is no relationship between employment type of CEOs and managerial performance in public enterprises. This study is distinguished from prior researches in view of following. First, prior researches focused on the relationship between employment type of public enterprises' CEOs and managerial performance. However, in addition to this, this study analyzes the relationship of internal auditors and managerial performance. Second, unlike prior researches studying the relationship between employment type of public corporations' CEOs and managerial performance with an emphasis on parachuting employment, this study researches impact of employment type as well as expertise of CEOs and internal auditors on managerial performance. Third, prior researchers mainly used non-financial indicators from various samples. However, this study eliminated subjectivity of researchers by analyzing public enterprises designated by the government and their financial statements, which were externally audited and inspected. In this study, regression analysis is applied in analyzing the relationship of independence and expertise of public enterprises' CEOs and internal auditors and managerial performance in the same year. Financial information from 2003 to 2007 of 24 public enterprises, which are designated by the government, and their personnel information from the board of directors are used as samples. Independence of CEOs is identified by dividing CEOs into persons from the same public enterprise and persons from other organization, and independence of internal auditors is determined by classifying them into two groups, people from academic field, economic world, and civic groups, and people from political community, government ministries, and military. Also, expertise of CEOs and internal auditors is divided into business expertise and financial expertise. As control variables, this study applied foundation year, asset size, government subsidies as a proportion to corporate earnings, and dummy variables by year. Analysis showed that there is significantly positive relationship between independence and financial expertise of internal auditors and managerial performance. In addition, although business expertise and financial expertise of CEOs were not statistically significant, they have positive relationship with managerial performance. However, unlike a general idea, independence of CEOs is not statistically significant, but it is negatively related to managerial performance. Contrary to general concerns, it seems that the impact of independence of public enterprises' CEOs on managerial performance has slightly decreased. Instead, it explains that expertise of public enterprises' CEOs and internal auditors plays more important role in managerial performance rather than their independence. Meanwhile, there are limitations in this study as follows. First, in contrast to private enterprises, public enterprises simultaneously pursue publicness and entrepreneurship. However, this study focuses on entrepreneurship, excluding considerations on publicness of public enterprises. Second, public enterprises in this study are limited to those in the central government. Accordingly, it should be carefully considered when the result of this study is applied to public enterprises in local governments. Finally, this study excludes factors related to transparency and democracy issues which are raised in appointment process of executives of public enterprises, as it may cause the issue of subjectivity of researchers.

In this study a survey was conducted with tenth, eleventh, and twelfth-graders in some academic and vocational high schools in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and South Chungcheong Province from April 3 to 30, 2009; then, 600 questionnaires returned were analyzed, obtaining the following results. It was found that there were some differences in subjective perception and behavior among some high school students by school type (p<0.001). This suggests the need to make systematic programs within curricula for oral health education and prevention programs that practically help to improve oral health.

The purpose of this study was to identify the status of task performance and working conditions for nutrition teachers in order to determine new ways to improve the current nutrition system and increase job satisfaction among teachers. From the 14th of July to the 26th of September 2014, email questionnaires were distributed to and collected from 311 nutrition teachers nationwide, including teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools. The results are as follows. First, over 90% of nutrition teachers indicated that their work was demanding. In particular, 63.5% of nutrition teachers at high schools worked more than 40 hours of overtime per month. Second, 73% of nutrition teachers provided nutrition education, but the percentage significantly decreased at upper levels of school. Nutrition teachers had difficulties teaching due to the absence of standard teaching materials and a lack of time due to excessive work. Teachers also wanted 30 hours of job training once per year during their vacation organized by the regional Department of Education. Third, around half of the nutrition teachers considered that promotion and transfer professions are necessary for systematic foodservice and education. An additional allowance was demanded by nutrition teachers at schools that serve two or three meals per day. Considering the results, alleviating the workload of nutrition teachers and more time preparing nutrition classes for student are required. Fair evaluation of job performance that considers work conditions of nutrition teachers should be considered.

The ultimate goal of preserving and maintaining the records is to use them practically. The effective use of records should be supported by the reasonable recordskeeping systems and access standards. In this report, I examined the Korean laws and administrative systems related to the public records access issues. After I pointed out major problems of the access laws, the Government Information Opening Act (GOIA), and the problems in practices, I suggested some alternatives for the betterment of the access system. The GIOA established "eight standards of exemption to access" not to open some information to protect national interests and privacy. The Public Records Management Act (PRMA) applies to the archives transferred to "professional archives." The two laws show fundamental differences in the ways to open the public records to public. First, the GIOA deals with the whole information (the records) that public institutions keep and maintain, while the PRMA deals with the records that were transferred to the Government Archives. Second, the GIOA provides with a legal procedure to open public records and the standards to open or not to open them, while the PRMA allows the Government Archives to decide whether the transferred records should be opened or not. Third, the GIOA applies to record producing agencies, while the PRMA applies to public archival institutions. One of the most critical inadequacies of the PRMA is that there are no standards to judge to open the archives through reclassification procedure. The GIOA also suggests only the type of information that is not accessible. It does not specify how long the records can be closed. The GARS does not include the records less than 30 years old as its objects of the reclassification. To facilitate the opening of the archives, we need to revise the GIOA and the PRMA. It is necessary to clearly divide the realms between the GIOA and the PRMA on the access of the archives. The PRMA should clarify the principles of the reclassification as well as reclassifying method and exceptions. The exemption standards of the GIOA should be revised to restrict the abuse of the exemption clauses, and they should not be applied to the archives in the GARS indiscreetly and unconditionally.

To investigate the present states and analyze the need of continuing education, a survey was done to the library and information professionals. Based on the personal membership file of the Korean Library Association, 292 members were selected using $25\%$ systematic sampling method. Questionnaires were mailed to them and $80\%$ returned. Of the total respondents. $90\%$ want to participate continuing education, however only $50\%$have a formal continuing education experience during last 3 years. Informal educational efforts are also weak and show much individual differences. $67\%$ of the libraries encourage continuing education but only $25\%$ of the respondents were provided with time and money for participation. The most favored mode of the continuing education Is one week course specialized In particular topic$(31.1\%)$ or area$(25.5\%)$. New methods, such as CD-ROM. online etc. were also preferred. Respondents regard professional association, society, and the library Information science department of university as desirable leading organization for continuing education. Among the 16 possible topics to be educated, respondents showed substantially higher Interest(more than $50\%$) In 5topics, and there were significant need differences In 7 topics among groups divided by library type.

Korea government has launched long-term care insurance from 2008. However, one of the most important issues, whether or not providing cash benefit, is still unresolved. In this paper, in order to provide policy guidelines for the long-term care insurance, I attempt to estimate the Willingness-To-Accept (WTA) of the cash subsidy for informal care by using Double Bounded Dichotomous Choice method, a branch of Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). In doing so, I also estimated the determinants of the preference for cash benefit. Data were obtained from face-to-face survey interviews with 300 informal care-givers at three major general hospitals in Seoul, Korea. The questionnaire was constructed with two scenarios (mild/severe symptom). The results from logistic regression analyses and the estimation of WTA indicate that informal care-givers are willing to accept the cash benefit as low as 628 thousands won for mild fragile elderly and 1,072 thousands won for severe fragile elderly. The strength of this paper is that I estimated the WTA of the cash benefit by reflecting the changes in preferences of informal care-givers. The analytic results from the this paper suggest that the cash benefit in long-term care insurance is indispensible in achieving the goal of the long-term care system.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship that adolescent stress perception level has with dietary habits and oral health behaviors in high school students. A survey of high school students in some areas of the Jeollabuk-do province of South Korea was conducted. Five hundred fourteen survey responses were used in the final analysis. As a result of the questionnaire survey, the following conclusions were obtained. The highest stress type was indicated to be academic stress (mean${\pm}$standard deviation [SD], $3.09{\pm}0.89$). The next was shown to be home (family) stress (mean${\pm}$SD, $2.85{\pm}0.84$). The possibility of using a dental clinic was indicated to be less in girls than boys (p<0.001). Regarding subjective oral health behavior, the possibility of visiting a dental clinic was low in those who thought that their own oral health condition was not good or moderate (p<0.05). Also, it was shown that the higher stress led to the higher possibility of visiting a dental clinic (p<0.01). Students with higher grades had a in the upper ranks were indicated to have high possibility of having a regular meal (p<0.01). Higher stress led to the significantly higher possibility of eating cariogenic food (p<0.01). Students with median grades had a high possibility of eating cariogenic food (p<0.01), while students with higher grades had a low possibility of eating cariogenic food (p<0.05). These resultss show that stress perception level influences dietary habits and oral health behaviors. Thus, there is a need to develop a program in high scholls to promote the physical and mental health of students to relieve stress. Substantial and systematic oral health education is thought to be likely needed to develop desirable dietary habits.
