The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of private insurance revenues and household spending on household income inequality. To this end, we conducted a concentration index and concentration curve analysis for the income level of medical panel survey data in 2015. The main results are as follows. First, the household income concentration ratio is 0.3580, which means that income is concentrated in the high income group, and the degree of inequality is considerably large. Second, although the portion of the private insurance benefits was small on the high-income household, it helped to strengthen the benefits concentration on this group. Third, the low income group has a large self-pay medical expense. Finally, the index of the income excluding the burden of the total medical expenses in the household income was 0.3676, so that even accounting for medical expenses, the income was concentrated in the high income class. Therefore, private insurance benefits and medical expenses were all contributing factors to the inequality of household income, and this study provides the essential materials for research and policy planning which could lead to the convergence of different fields.

As non face-to-face classes carry on discussion about learner's attention continues. To improve learning effect learner's attention is important whether non face-to-face classes or face-to-face classes. In this study a mobile application prototype inducing learner attention is developed taking account of learner emotion that is one of the factors affecting learner attention. When learner selects one of the four emotions displayed in the application, it shows the activity inducing the learner's attention related to the selected emotion. In order to evaluate the usability of the developed application, 32 middle and high school students are asked to run the application and then conduct a survey using 5 point Likert scale. The survey result indicates that there is a possibility that the developed application in this study induces learner attention as showing that the result point of 'I can pay attention' and 'I feel psychological stable' is respectively 3.56 and the result point of 'I feel useless thought disappear' is 3.6.

In this study, we investigated the application of extending the Huff's method to design discharge being used at present up to the event of concentrated rainfall. As our field study site, we selected Odae Cheon basin in Pheongchang, which was affected by concentrated rainfall in July 2006. Actual concentrated rainfall and design rainfall derived from the Huff's method were used to calculate the discharge and storm water levels, which were compared with the directly measured water-level marks of storm discharges. The results showed that the peak storm discharge from the torrential rainfall was twice higher than the design rainfall. The short term discharges from concentrated rainfall closely corresponded to the rainfall discharges of 150 years storm frequency.

본 연구에서는 최근 기후변화로 인한 집중호우의 발생횟수의 경향을 확률적으로 분석함에 있어 1개월 동안 80 mm/day 이상의 강우사상을 집중호우로 정의하여, 대구 및 부산 강우관측소로부터 수집된 384개월 동안의 집중호우를 분석하였다. 집중호우 월별 발생횟수와 같은 형식의 자료의 확률적 분석은 대개 Poisson 분포 (POI)가 사용되나 자료에 포함된 0자료의 과잉은 확률분포를 왜곡시키는 문제를 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 개선하기 위하여 개발된 일반화 Poisson 확률분포 (GPD), 0-과잉 Poisson 확률분포 (ZIP), 0-과잉 일반화 Poisson 확률분포 (ZIGP), Bayesian 0-과잉 일반화 Poisson 확률분포 (Bayesian ZIGP)를 집중호우 자료에 적용하고, 5개 모형의 특성을 비교분석하였으며, Bayesian ZIGP 모형의 구축에 있어서는 정보적 사전분포를 사용함으로써 모형의 정확도를 개선하였다. 분석결과 분석하고자 하는 자료에 0이 과다하게 포함되어 있는 경우 POI 및 GPD 분포는 관측결과와는 다른 결과를 제시하여 적절한 모형으로 고려되지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 5가지 모형 중 정보적 사전분포를 탑재한 Bayesian ZIGP 모형이 가장 관측 자료와 유사한 결과를 도출하였으나 모형의 구축에 수반되는 실용적인 측면을 고려하면 ZIP 모형도 충분히 사용될 수 있는 모형으로 추천되었다.

Students with learning disability have difficulty with attention and academic achievement Music can be an effective tool to enhance level of participation. The purpose of this study is to examine how much can be structured to enhance the attention span and related academic skills needed to achieve educational goals. The study has implemented structured music therapy sessions for three middle school students with learning disability. They participated in 20 sessions which were 30 minutes in length for ten weeks. The implemented music therapy sessions were designed using songs, playing, and listening to music. In order to test their level of attention, Frankfurter Aufmerksamkeits-Inventar(FAIR) Attention Test is implemented and Conners' Comprehensive Teacher's Rating Scale(CTRS-10) are used on the week before and after music activities. Also videotaping is used so as to analyze how correctly they do their task and how the correctness is changed period by period and to evaluate how often for ten minutes they make an eye contact with their teacher. The conclusions of this study are as follows: Firstly, the organized music activities have a positive affection on improving the attention of three middle school students who have learning disabilities. Fair Attention Test shows that they can do their task with more accuracy than in the previous period. Secondly, three students of this study improved their attention and made an eye contact more often than before this study, which is revealed through the analysis of the pre and post test results evaluated by CTRS-10. The results of the study indicate that structured use of music in various level of activities can help students to enhance attention span and the related academic skills.

In the past, when research and development(R&D) resources were absolutely scarce, the so-called 'choice and concentration' strategy of national R&D projects has been persuasive. Under the current situation where various actors such as GRIs(Government-funded Research Institutes) and universities supported by more abundant R&D resources conduct national R&D projects, this strategy cannot be applied without distinction. In order to see how the strategy has worked, this paper analyzes the concentration of research funds allocated to actors performing national R&D projects. Concentration is measured based on the amount of research funds supported by government from 2002 to 2016 using the Theil index to break down the concentration of individual actors in the overall national R&D project. The results from the Theil index were compared with concentrations using the Gini coefficient, a widely known indicator. As a result, the Theil index could be used to analyze the concentration and sub-components' contribution such as universities and GRIs that make up the entire national R&D system. The results also showed GRIs had the highest concentration, followed by universities, but their concentration has been somewhat reduced compared to 10 years ago. On the other hand, small-sized companies have maintained a certain level, although they are not highly concentrated. In other words, universities and GRIs tend to reduce the gap in the allocation of research funds among institutions, while small-sized companies tend to distribute them evenly.

This study analyzes the concentration ratios (CR) and the shift effect in the system of Korean container ports that concern the export and import of container cargos, especially from/to 5 overseas origin/destination (O/D) regions, using the Hirshmann-Herfindahl Index (HHI) and the Shift-Share Method. The results shows that the CR has decreased during the last 20 years, from 0.86 to 0.44, mainly because cargos from/to the Far-East/South-East Asian regions have become more dispersed to several domestic container ports, especially from the Port of Busan. This study also indicates that there has been little change in the CR for all cargos, like the value of -0.3%, in the last 5 years. However the change in CRs for the cargos from/to the North America and Europe is positive, with the value of 7.6% and 6.6%, respectively. It can be inferred that the future development of medium- and small-sized container ports in Korea is not very likely. The study also suggests that the CR and the shift effect of the Korean container ports for the cargos by the domestic O/D regions should be analyzed in the future to suggest policy implications in great detail.
