We aimed to examine difference between the brain activation pattern based upon hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding among the pre-service teachers not majoring in biology, the pre-service teachers majoring in biology and the biologists using fMRI. We have designed two sets of task paradigm on the biological phenomena: hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-understanding and thirty six healthy participants (twelve participants per group) performed the tasks. The result was showed that 1) there were significant differences of brain activation patterns in hypothesis-generating on the biological phenomena among three groups, 2) the left middle frontal gyrus in the part of DLPFC region was play an important roles of hypothesis-generating and make a significant differences among three groups. The superior ability of biologists were based upon the activation of middle frontal gyrus which has secondary integration of abstract information, and 3) there were no significant differences of brain activation patterns in hypothesis-understanding on the biological phenomena among three groups. These findings provided that scientist might be skillful in generating a new scientific knowledge.

Demography has grown as an independent academic discipline in Korea during past 30 years by describing and examining changes of population components such as fertility, mortality, migration, and census, and the "Population Association of Korea" stands on the midst of the growth. High fertility of the 1960s and 70s, which was considered as a hurdle of economic growth, particularly boosted the prosper of demography in Korea by inviting a number of non-demographers as well as demographers to population-related research projects. However, as fertility gradually decreases and becomes no-threat anymore beginning the early 1990s, social interests in demography has withered to lose its academic soils in Korea. A recent phenomenon of the lowest low fertility has revived social need and interest in demography. Unfortunately, once curtailed capacity of Korean demography is not sufficient enough to provide academic and/or practical resources now. This research is conducted to cerebrate the 30th anniversary of "Population Association of Korea" and to seek ways to cultivate academic soils again and to rebuild the capacity of demography in Korea. To do this, this research examines the causes of current struggles of Korean demography by comparing its academic environments with that of America, and offers suggestions for its brighter future.

In this paper, we develop debt collection predictive models for the person in arrears by utilizing the direct loan data of the Korea Student Aid Foundation. We suggest credit risk scorecards for overdue student direct loan using the developed 3 models. Model 1 is designed for 1 month overdue, Model 2 is designed for 2 months overdue, and Model 3 is designed for overdue over 2 months. Model 1 shows that the major influencing factors for the delinquency are overdue account, due data for payment, balance, household income. Model 2 shows that the major influencing factors for delinquency loan are days in arrears, balance, due date for payment, arrears. Model 3 shows that the major influencing factors for delinquency are the number of overdue in recent 3 months, due data for payment, overdue account, arrears. The debt collection predictive models and credit risk scorecards in this study will be the basis for segmented management service and the call & collection strategies for preventing delinquency.

We may have an incorrect view of Korea and the world by misunderstanding them with a number of geographic misconceptions. Such misconceptions constructed socially tend to perpetuate through reproducing and learning repeatedly from one generation to the next. 'Daegu city is in the intermontane basin.' It is also identified that this geographic misconception had constructed (made) by two Japanese geographers (Tamura, 1933; Tada, 1940) in the Japanese colonial period, and have been reproduced and diffused by many Korean geographers (professors and teachers) as well as journalists in the post-colonial days. In terms of the definition of an intermontane basin in the Encyclopedia of Geomorphology published by the International Association of Geomorphologists, Daegu seems not to be a basin city but to be a plain city, since the central plain of Daegu is surrounded by higher terrain like mountains and hills only on the north and south directions of all sides, and also it is well developed thanks to its location where the downstream of the Geumhogang river flows from east to west. This paper hopes that the landform recognition as 'Daegu intermontane basin city' should be corrected as soon as possible, and also many geographic misconceptions will be studied actively for an accurate understanding of Korea and the world.

This research paper has examined the question of the year of the publication of the wood block print, Mukujeonggwang Dae Darani Gyeong(Pure light Dharani Sutra). Published in Korea sometime before 751, it is known to be the oldest existing document printed with wood blocks in the world. Recently, a Chinese scholar claimed that this sutra was translated into Chinese in 701 and printed in Reoyang, China, in 702. These claims have lead to international symposiums and research papers on the Mukujeonggwang Dae Darani Gyeong. However, although diverse opinions and research were presented by various scholars, they all seem to be far fetched and do not answer the essential question of the sutra. The evidence in historic records shows that the translation into Chinese was done in 704 and not in 701. After it was translated into Chinese, it came to Korea and was printed with wood blocks. When Sokkatap was built in 751, a copy was placed in the pagoda. Moreover, the inscription on the sarira casket states that the construction of the pagoda was based on the theory of Jotapsasang contained in the sutra. Thus this proves that Mukujeonggwang Dae Darani Gyeong had to have been printed before 751.

There are a few changes about Wangshouren's main tenet during the process of giving lectures. because of the reason that Wangshouren give lectures changed to different disciples, so every student had his different opinion and comprehension do Wangshouren's learning, which is the main reason that Wangshouren's disciples had occurred a difference. In the thinking field of later-Ming, there had occurred a furious argument surrounding the problem of "the Heart is no Goodness and Badness or not", and how to cure the harm of the Xinxue also had become a key issue to the two sides of argument. The donglin school that Guxiancheng was its delegates made a contest with the Xinxue's scholars that Zhourudeng and Guanzhidao were that delegates, which evolved surrounding that issue that "the nature is Good" and "the Heart no Goodness and Badness". In these arguments, the two sides often persist on their own opinions, but hadn't a right understanding for Wangshouren's original meaning. Liujishan and Huanglizhou thought that the meaning of the words "the Heart no Goodness and Badness" was that the Heart have no the intention of Goodness and Badness, not that the Nature was no Goodness and no Badness. So that the opinion of "the Heart no Goodness and Badness" was not the main idea of Wangshouren. Wangji hadn't got the whole meaning of the Four Sentences. Liujishan and Huanglizhou wanted to make a new explaination to Wangshouren's ideas according to literatures and theory.

This paper analyzed the theory of the Nature and Principle of Kim Mae-soon, who was a representative scholar of the Nak-ron(洛論) in the early 19th century, focusing on Horak Controversy. He not only embodied his academic view based on the tradition of Andong Kim's family, but also faithfully succeeded the view of the Nak-ron closely linked to the his family academic tradition. He was more familiar with Neo-Confucianism than any other scholar of his time, and he completed the commentary on 《ZhuZiDaQuan》(朱子大全) developed after the 17th century. He also wrote a series of works that specifically describe his academic views through a detailed understanding and confirmation of various Confucian scriptures, including 《Zhongyong》(中庸) and 《TaHsueh》(大學). In particular, he systematized his own neo-Confucian view, which he achieved through deep thought and literature review, into the 《Gweolyeosanphil》(闕餘散筆) at the end of his life. This paper is the first study of Kim Mae-soon's theory of Confucianism. Through this paper, I first examined his life in terms of thought formation and development. And then I analyzed his views specifically on the subject of Hoak Controversy, focusing on the discussion of the nature of people and things in 《Geueolyeosanphil》. Finally, I carefully examined his academic influence in a poetic way, focusing on scholars who had communicated with him.

현재의 상황을 인문학의 위기라고 전제한다면 상황을 극복하기 위한 고민이 반드시 뒤따라야 한다. 무엇보다도 '위기론'의 장본인인 인문학자들의 '자기반성'이 있어야하며 정부의 인문학 육성책에 대해서도 세밀한 검토와 지적이 필요하다. 아울러 정부와는 별도의 대학 차원, 작게는 학과나 단체 차원에서의 노력도 필요하다. 학문에 대한 자부심이 지나쳐 쓸데없는 우월의식을 갖는 것을 지양해야 하며, 과거를 돌아보는 반성의 자세로 전문성과 함께 대중성을 갖추기 위해 노력해야 한다. 위기를 기회로, 기회를 위기로 여기는 신중한 자세를 견지해야 한다.
