This study examine the selection criteria for recruiting social workers, commonly agreed by the persons in charge of human resources. We visited 46 social welfare facilities and performed interviews individually with them. Thirty three items belong to 7 different areas (ability, career, suitability and agreement to the facility, characteristics, recommendation, religion) were made based on the results of interviews, and these items were sent to social welfare facilities in 16 different cities in Korea for asking questions (from Oct, 2012 to Apr, 2013). One hundred and sixty cases were collected and among them 45 cases exhibiting consistency rate less than 0.2 were finally selected. Superior scope and subordinate scope were extracted and comparisons between day care centers and living institutions were made. Results demonstrated that ability of social workers was the most important for superior scope and suitability and agreement of social workers to both day care centers and living institutions were the most important factor for recruiting workers.

In this study, the alkaline degreasing agent was developed for electroplating pretreatment process, and the efficiency and the durability was predicted. The alkaline deeping degreasing agent was prepared by blending sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$), sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$), and sodium lauric sulfate (SLS). The performance tests of the degreasing agent were evaluated in the $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ of the degreasing temperature and 30~40 min of the degreasing time. The efficiency and durability of the prepared degreasing agent were tested by the waterdrop formation test and Hull-cell plating test. The optimum ratio of alkaline degreasing agent was NaOH (30 g/L) + SLS (6.0 g/L) + $Na_2SiO_3$ (2.0 g/L) + $Na_2CO_3$ (40 g/L). Also, the optimum degreasing conditions were $50^{\circ}C$ of the degreasing temperature and 35 min of the degreasing time.

We analyzed the search word of the media content in the IPTV service, and as a result we found that an important factor is general meta information as well as content(material, plot, etc.) and emotion information in the media content selection criteria of customers. Therefore, in this research, in order to efficiently provide various media contents of IPTV to users, we designed the emotion classification system for utilizing the emotion information of the media content. Next, we proposed 'personalized media contents curation system based on emotion information' for organizing the media contents, through the various processing steps. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of this system, we conducted a user satisfaction survey(72.0 points). In addition, the results of comparing the results based on popularity and the results of the proposed system showed that the ratio leading to the actual users' viewing behavior was 10 times higher.

The purpose of this study is to categorize tourists according to the types of Korean popular culture as travel motives and to explore their characteristics and behavior in the tourism-related decision-making process. A sample of 12,914 leisure tourists from the 2018 foreign tourist survey data was analyzed using MNL and ANOVA. The popular cultural tourists were categorized into K-food, K-fashion, and K-pop groups. They showed a higher percentage of female tourists, social media usage in the tourism information search, and visits from countries geographically close to Korea. K-pop tourists did not hesitate to choose Korea as the destination and visited Korea the most frequently. They showed the highest satisfaction, revisit intention and recommendation intention, suggesting loyalty and growth potential.

MovieLens data consists of recorded movie evaluations that was often used to measure the evaluation score in the recommendation system research field. In this paper, we provide additional information obtained by clustering user-specific genre preference information through movie evaluation data and movie genre data. Because the number of movie ratings per user is very low compared to the total number of movies, the missing rate in this data is very high. For this reason, there are limitations in applying the existing clustering methods. In this paper, we propose a convex clustering-based method using the pairwise fused penalty motivated by the analysis of MovieLens data. In particular, the proposed clustering method execute missing imputation, and at the same time uses movie evaluation and genre weights for each movie to cluster genre preference information possessed by each individual. We compute the proposed optimization using alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm. It is shown that the proposed clustering method is less sensitive to noise and outliers than the existing method through simulation and MovieLens data application.

After treatment with imidacloprid, there were clear differences in the time to the first reaction of Myzus persicae among the concentrations treated. The time taken for the proboscis of the aphids to penetrate, during the recording plants increased as the imidacloprid concentration increased. Imidacloprid concentration inflow into a leaf was investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography, and the residues of the imidacloprid varied slightly with the different concentrations treated. However, the inflow rates of this insecticide into a leaf increased as the dipping times increased. Furthermore, it was shown that there was no relationship in inflow concentration between the concentrations and times of treatment. However, the concentration in the leaf differed according to the dipping time. Judging from the fact that the first reaction behavior against imidacloprid displayed at an inflow concentration of 0.32-0.35 mg/L, we concluded that inflow concentrations causing the first reaction of the aphids to the insecticide were much lower than the concentration treated. The general feeding characteristics of the aphids indicated that xylem and/or phloem feeding behavior continued after a series of probing behaviors and stylet activity during the first 3 h from the start of EPG recording. After 90 min treatment with imidacloprid, feeding behavior over the next 30 min indicated a significant increase in the withdrawal of the stylet from the plant at all treated concentrations. Xylem and/or phloem feeding patterns were significantly decreased during this time. In particular, the proportion of xylem feeding differed according to the concentration of imidacloprid.

Objective of this experiment was to evaluate efficiency of application of biochar pellet in case of application of soil carbon sequestration technology. The treatments were consisted of control as general agricultural practice method, pellet(100% pig compost), biochar pellets with mixture ratio of pig compost(9:1, 8:2, 6:4, 4:6, 2:8) for comparatives of pH, EC, $NH_4-N$ and $NO_3-N$ concentrations, and yields in the nursery bed applied biochar pellets after lettuce harvesting. The application rates of biochar pellet was 6.6g/pot regardless of their mixed rates based on recommended amount of application (330kg/10a) for lettuce cultivation. pH in the nursery bed applied different biochar pellets after lettuce harvesting was only increased in the treatment plot of pig compost pellet application, but decreased in 4:6 and 2:8 pellet application plots. However, EC was observed to be not significantly different among the treatments. $NH_4-N$ concentration was only increased in the treatment plot of pig compost pellet application, but $NO_3-N$ concentrations were decreased as compared to the control. Yields in the treatments of 9:1, 8:2 and 4:6 biochar pellet application plot were increased from 9.5% to 11.4%. Therefore, this biochar pellet application might be useful for soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas mitigation in the agricultural farming practices because it was appeared to be a positive effect on lettuce growth.

Purpose : Although influenza is regarded as one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in children with cancer, the actual vaccine coverage remains poor. We conducted evaluation of immunogenicity and safety of influenza vaccine in children with cancer. Methods : In this study, 25 children with cancer who received influenza vaccine (SK influenza IX vaccine$^{(R)}$) at the Korea Cancer Center Hospital between October and December 2009 were analyzed. Blood samples of patients were collected twice (at the beginning of this study and at 30th day after vaccination) and their antibody titers were measured using the hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay. Immunogenicity of the influenza vaccine was assessed by seroprotection rate on days 0 and 30, seroconversion rate on day 30, and mean fold increase (MFI) of geometric mean titer (GMT) of HI between days 0 and 30. Results : Any of the subjects in our study did not experienced serious adverse events after influenza vaccination. Seroprotection rates were 68% for H1N1, 40% for H3N2, and 36% for B. Seroconversion rates were 12% for H1N1, 16% for H3N2, and 20% for B. MFIs were 0.9 for H1N1, 1.2 for H3N2, and 1.8 for B. Conclusion : In the study, we found a limited protective immune response to influenza vaccine, among subjects with cancer. However, some subjects showed seroconversion, and there were no severe adverse events among all subjects, supporting the recommendation of annual influenza vaccination in children with cancer.

Objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect on pepper growth to application of biochar pellet in case of development of soil carbon sequestration technology. The treatments consisted of control as a general agricultural practice method, pellet (100% pig compost), biochar pellets with mixture ratio of pig compost (9:1, 8:2, 6:4, 4:6, 2:8) for comparison of total carbon contents, $NH_4-N$ concentrations, and total biomass in the pots applied with biochar pellets after pepper harvesting. The application rates of biochar pellet was 8.8 g/pot regardless of their mixed rates based on recommended amount of application (440 kg/10a) for pepper cultivation. For the experimental results, Total carbon contents in the treatments were low from 1.8 to 2.6 fold as compared to the control. $NH_4-N$ concentrations were not significantly different among the treatment plots as compared to the control, but $NO_3-N$ was not detected in the all treatment plots. However, total biomass was not only significantly different between the control and 2:8 (biochar : pig compost) biochar pellet application plot even if the other treatments were low. Therefore, this biochar pellet application might be further modified for soil carbon sequestration in agricultural farming practices.
