Media coverage of depression, the mental disorder, is on the high rise following the soaring number of reported celebrity suicide. This study is an exploratory attempt to get a glance on how online news media are portraying depression. The content analysis results indicate that celebrity was the most cited source, outnumbering the others such as non-celebrity patients and experts. More than half of the sample attributed the cause of depression to socio-psychological factors. Medical consultation was the most reported means of treating depression among the sample, while over the half did not suggest any treatment methods at all. Overall, celebrity related news were less likely to talk about the cause and treatment methods. In addition, the more neuro-biological factors were designated as the main cause of depression in the articles, the more chances of treatment method of all kinds were brought up. The frame of human interest dominated a little less than half of the articles examined, and only few reported positive outcome or achievements after coping with depression.

This study investigated how Korean media covered Japan's position on her past history issues proposed by Abe' Shinzo's cabinet. The researchers adopted Entman's analytical tools for frame analysis and the concept of "frame changing" proposed by Chi and McCombs. The analysis rendered several propositions. First of all, the Korean media's coverage on Japan's past history issues focused heavily on the current conflict among two nations rather than constructing a futuristic viewpoint based on a thorough discussion on the historical background of the topic. In addition, it emphasized that the conflict should be resolved by political negotiations between the two governments. Secondly, the news coverages depicted "comfort women" issues as the prime element of the conflict, describing Abe's cabinet as the major inducer of the conflict. Ideological and political divisions among Korean media did not significantly influence on how they frame Japan's past history issues. In general, Korean media took the stance of ethnocentric "patriotic journalism," advocating Korean government's position and covering the emotional reactions from Korean public instead of providing through and through objective news coverage on Japan's past history issues.

This study explores the ways that newspapers report the administrations' policies of 'university reform' from February 2008 to December 2015 through critical discourse analysis. As results, Donga-ilbo and Chosun-ilbo produce the discourse that the crisis of universities is so real and dangerous that it brings about the crisis of our nation, and that the current university systems should be changed into neoliberal systems because it is the critical reason of the crisis. Using various discursive strategies, they construct their reports as objective, real and embodying general goods and then successfully build the neoliberal discourse on university reform as commonsensical and natural. They finally acquire the discursive hegemony for university reform. Kyunghyang-shinmun and Hankyoreh-shinmun produce the anti-discourse against that of Donga-ilbo and Chosun-ilbo. However, they can not develop substantial hegemony struggles for the discourse of university reform because of the limitations of their discourse in terms of quantity and quality and the social and press structures overwhelmingly inclined for neo-liberalism.

In this paper, we propose a method to analyze M:N corresponding relations in semantic matching, especially focusing on feature class matching. Similarities between any class pairs are measured by spatial objects which coexist in the class pairs, and corresponding classes are obtained by clustering with these pairwise similarities. We applied a graph embedding method, which constructs a global configuration of each class in a low-dimensional Euclidean space while preserving the above pairwise similarities, so that the distances between the embedded classes are proportional to the overall degree of similarity on the edge paths in the graph. Thus, the clustering problem could be solved by employing a general clustering algorithm with the embedded coordinates. We applied the proposed method to polygon object layers in a topographic map and land parcel categories in a cadastral map of Suwon area and evaluated the results. F-measures of the detected class pairs were analyzed to validate the results. And some class pairs which would not detected by analysis on nominal class names were detected by the proposed method.

South Korean broadcasting industry has been under a significant level of structural change since the permission of new general programming channels in the end of 2010. One of the most characteristic features of the change may be the exodus of core manpower from the in-house productions of major terrestrial broadcasters which have been maintaining their dominant power over broadcasting content market based on their systems of tight vertical integration. This paper sheds light on the presence of a purposeful 'mechanism design' that aims to the expansion of market logics in South Korean broadcasting sector by promoting commercial media conglomerates, and analyses how this external design has been actualized while being interlocked with various internal factors of the broadcasting industry. This paper shows that on the backdrop of the mechanism design, some of new media conglomerates has successfully provided various incentives in contrast with those disincentive of terrestrial broadcasters, which in turn, has facilitated the exodus of elite producers. This paper, however, raises a set of questions about whether this relocation process of creativity led by commercial media conglomerates would, in the long term, guarantee more opportunities and potentials for the producers, as promised. As part of conclusion, inherent problems of present mechanism design are highlighted.

급격한 세계인구의 증가에 의해 물 부족지역이 세계 각지로 확산되고 있다. 이에 따라, 건전한 수자원으로써 하수처리수의 재이용이 주목을 받고 있다. 하수처리수의 재이용시에는 특히, 재이용수의 미생물학적 안전성과 더불어 화학물질 등으로부터 기인할 수 있는 인체 및 생태계에의 리스크를 고려해야 한다. 미국 EPA는 병원성 미생물 뿐만 아니라 화학물질에 대한 안전성을 확보 차원에자외선/과산화수소 등의 고도산화처리법을 검토하였다. 1일 $10m^3$ 처리규모의 연속실험장치를 이용, 검토된 공정별 실제 하수 2차 처리수중에 존재하는 의약품류의 제거효과, 에너지 소비량 및 생태리스크 저감효과 등을 비교, 평가하였다. 에너지 소비량에 있어서는 공정별로 다소 차이가 있었으나, 본 실험동안 검출된 38종의 의약품류 제거에는 각 공정 모두 매우 효과적이었다. 에너지 소비측면에서는 오존 단독공정이 가장 적은 에너지 소비량에서 타 공정과 동일한 수준의 의약품류 서 막처리나 자외선 처리 등의 고도처리시설에 대한 정보를 재이용수 가이드라인에 제시하고 있는 반면, 우리나라에서는 재이용수중에 일정농도 이상의 염소가 잔류하도록 함으로써, 재이용수의 미생물학적 안전성 확보만을 고려하고 있다. 최근, 수환경분야에서는 의약품류라는 화학물질이 유럽, 미국 및 일본 등지를 중심으로 주목을 받아오고 있으며, 이들은 ng/L-${\mu}g$/L 수준으로 수환경중에서 검출되고 있다. 이들의 주요 발생원으로 하수처리시설이 지목되고 있으며, 따라서 하수처리수의 재이용시 잔류 의약품류에 의한 리스크 발생 가능성이 우려되고 있다. 이를 배경으로, 하수처리시설에서 의약품류를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 공정으로 오존 및 오존/자외선, 제거효과가 얻어졌다. 한편, 오존처리시 발암성 물질인 브로메이트($BrO_3^-$) 등과 같은 부생성물 생성 가능성을 고려하면, 오존 단독공정보다 상대적으로 많은 에너지를 소비하는 오존/자외선, 자외선/과산화수소 등의 고도산화처리법이 높은 적용성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 향후, 수자원 부족문제로 재이용수의 용도가 훨씬 다양해 질 것으로 예상된다. 그에 따라, 재이용수의 안전성 확보를 위해 보다 폭넓은 검토가 예상되지만, 현 단계에서는 오존을 포함, 다소 많은 에너지 소비가 예상되는 자외선을 이용한 고도산화처리법이 다양한 미량 화학물질의 제거에 유효한 공정으로 판단된다.

Promoting job growth and quality has been central to developing countries to reduce poverty for decades. In this regard, Nepal is not unique in its need to develop effective TVET programme as it is considered showing positive association with workforce development and productivity. While the copious academic literature has highlighted upon staff training programme in general education, it encounters lack of adequate attention in the field of TVET education. The purpose of the study is to identity and prioritise the professional development needs for the teachers of TVET sector in Nepal. A sample(N=317) of Nepalese teachers from seven provinces were asked to answer the scale. The Borich needs assessment model was employed to assess the perceived level of importance and present preferred training modules among 29 teaching subjects. Moreover, a quadrant analysis using 2×2 matrix was used as a diagnostic tool to denote overriding training topics. The result shows that following competence skills constructs were perceived to be in high need of enhancement as well as in existence of discrepancies: 'occupational characteristics of TVET trainer', 'training needs analysis and curriculum development', 'curriculum development based on national competence standard(NCS)', and 'Institution management evaluation'.

This study was performed to analyze the dynamics and distributional condition of biological community and to support the basic information about the estuarine ecosystem management by using the intensively surveyed results by each taxon experts around Tamjin river. We analyzed the biological diversity, abundance, correlation among species, and ecological characteristics about 11 taxa groups including vegetation, fish, birds, mammals, etc. in the Tamjin river estuarine ecosystem. We classified vegetation types into 7 physiognomic types and 18 communities according to habitat conditions with the physical environments and salinity. In total, 1125 species including 9 species of endangered species were identified in research area. The species composition and distributional characteristics of each taxon were corresponded to the environmental characteristics of the estuarine ecosystem. Especially, the species diversity and distribution were clearly distinguished in the river according to the difference of the environmental factors such as flow rate, salinity, and soil. Despite the disturbance factors such as barrage and levees, the biodiversity and its distribution were evaluated to be high level under the current environmental conditions. However, loss or reduction of wildlife habitat due to reclamation, embankment, barrage installation and expansion of farmland has been identified as a major threat to the diversity and health of the local ecosystem. The results of this study can be used as a basic data to cope with various development pressure and damage crisis of the whole estuaries including Tamjin river.

This research aims to present a methodological approach for repurposing small pockets of national/public lands, which can be constructed as parks, through an investigation of the present status of these areas of national/public lands that are scattered around Busan Megalopolis as well as the suitability of their construction. In order to attain this, this study looked at the present status of these small areas of national/public lands by utilizing a national land, city land list (lot number), land registration map and satellite image of Busan Megalopolis, and evaluating their suitability as parks through GIS analysis and classification. As a result, these small areas of lands with the potential to be turned into parks include 516 spots($375,934m^2$). Geographically, 39% of these areas are located on flat land and are the most scattered. 260 places met the requirements for optimal placement for conversion, while convenience included 305 places, and availability 267 places. The most optimal of the places meeting such standards include 61 spots. The characteristics of these areas of national/public lands include being below $500m^2$, with flatlands and open areas above a 5' grade occupy the highest ratio, accounting for 25.4% of the land studied. These results have offered a methodology for a GIS DB, which can visualize the data for a positive utilization be yond the simple level of the maintenance/preservation of national/public lands and provide basic data for the utilization and management of these types of areas in the future.
