이 연구에서는 뇌기반 진화적 교육 원리를 도출하기 위하여, 인간 뇌의 구조적 기능적 특징, 개체간과 개체내에서 일어나는 생물학적 진화, 뇌내에서 일어나는 진화적 과정, 과학 자체와 개별 과학자의 과학적 활동에 내재된 진화적 속성에 관한 연구물을 리뷰하였다. 이렇게 하여 도출된 인간 뇌의 주요 특징과 생성-선택-파지를 핵심 요소로 하는 보편 다윈주의 혹은 보편 선택주의를 토대로, 뇌기반 진화적 과학 교수 학습 모형을 개발하였다. 이 모형은 세 가지 요소와 세 가지 단계 및 평가로 이루어진다. 세 가지 요소는 정의적, 행동적, 인지적 요소이고, 각 요소를 구성하는 세 단계는 다양화 $\rightarrow$ 비교 선택 $\rightarrow$ 확장 적용(ABC-DEF; Affective, Behavioral, Cognitive components - Diversifying$\rightarrow$Emulating, Estimating, Evaluating $\rightarrow$ Furthering steps)이다. 이 모형에서 정의적 요소 (A)는 인간 뇌에서 감성을 관장하는 대뇌변연계에 토대를 두고 자연 사물과 현상에 대한 학습자의 흥미 호기심과 관련된다. 행동적 요소(B)는 시각 정보를 처리하는 후두엽, 언어 정보의 이해.생성과 관련된 측두엽, 감각운동 정보를 처리하는 감각운동령을 수반하고 과학적 활동의 직접 해보기와 관련된다. 인지적 요소(C)는 사고, 계획, 판단, 문제해결과 관련된 전두엽합령에 토대를 둔다. 이 모형은 이러한 측면에서 '뇌기반(brain-based)'이다. 이 모형의 세 가지 각 요소를 구성하는 세 단계에서, 다양화 단계(D)는 각 요소에서 다양한 변이체를 생성하는 과정이고, 가치나 유용성에 비추어 비교.선택하는 단계(E)는 변이체들 중 유용하거나 가치 있는 것을 검증하여 선택하는 과정이며, 확장.적용 단계(F)는 선택된 것을 유사한 상황으로 확장하거나 적용하는 단계이다. 이 모형은 이러한 측면에서 '진화적(evolutionary)'이다. ABC 세 요소에 대해, 과학적 활동에서 감성적 요인이 출발점으로 갖는 중요성과 뇌에서 사고 기능과 관련되는 신피질에 비해 감성을 관장하는 대뇌변연계의 우세한 역할을 반영하여 DARWIN (Driving Affective Realm for Whole Intellectual Network) 접근법을 강조한다. 이 모형은 학교 현장에서 다루는 과학 주제와 학생의 특징에 따라 다양한 형태와 수준으로 융통성 있게 실행될 수 있다.

스마트폰이 널리 보급되고 현대인들의 생활 속에 깊이 자리 잡으면서, 스마트폰에서 수집된 다종 데이터를 바탕으로 사용자 개인의 행동을 인식하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 타인과의 상호작용 행동 인식에 대한 연구는 아직까지 상대적으로 미진하였다. 기존 상호작용 행동 인식 연구에서는 오디오, 블루투스, 와이파이 등의 데이터를 사용하였으나, 이들은 사용자 사생활 침해 가능성이 높으며 단시간 내에 충분한 양의 데이터를 수집하기 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 반면 가속도, 자기장, 자이로스코프 등의 물리 센서의 경우 사생활 침해 가능성이 낮으며 단시간 내에 충분한 양의 데이터를 수집할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점에 주목하여, 스마트폰 상의 다종 물리 센서 데이터만을 활용, 딥러닝 모델에 기반을 둔 사용자의 동행 상태 인식 방법론을 제안한다. 사용자의 동행 여부 및 대화 여부를 분류하는 동행 상태 분류 모델은 컨볼루션 신경망과 장단기 기억 순환 신경망이 혼합된 구조를 지닌다. 먼저 스마트폰의 다종 물리 센서에서 수집한 데이터에 존재하는 타임 스태프의 차이를 상쇄하고, 정규화를 수행하여 시간에 따른 시퀀스 데이터 형태로 변환함으로써 동행 상태분류 모델의 입력 데이터를 생성한다. 이는 컨볼루션 신경망에 입력되며, 데이터의 시간적 국부 의존성이 반영된 요인 지도를 출력한다. 장단기 기억 순환 신경망은 요인 지도를 입력받아 시간에 따른 순차적 연관 관계를 학습하며, 동행 상태 분류를 위한 요인을 추출하고 소프트맥스 분류기에서 이에 기반한 최종적인 분류를 수행한다. 자체 제작한 스마트폰 애플리케이션을 배포하여 실험 데이터를 수집하였으며, 이를 활용하여 제안한 방법론을 평가하였다. 최적의 파라미터를 설정하여 동행 상태 분류 모델을 학습하고 평가한 결과, 동행 여부와 대화 여부를 각각 98.74%, 98.83%의 높은 정확도로 분류하였다.

Hospice Care is the best way to care for terminally ill patients and their family members. However most of them can not receive the appropriate hospice service because the Korean health delivery system is mainly be focussed on acutly ill patients. This study was carried out to clarify the situation of hospice in Korea and to develop a hospice care delivery system model which is appropriate in the Korean context. The theoretical framework of this study that hospice care delivery system is composed of hospice resources with personnel, facilities, etc., government and non-government hospice organization, hospice finances, hospice management and hospice delivery, was taken from the Health Delivery System of WHO(1984). Data was obtained through data analysis of litreature, interview, questionairs, visiting and Delphi Technique, from October 1998 to April 1999 involving 56 hospices, 1 hospice research center, 3 non-government hospice organizations, 20 experts who have had hospice experience for more than 3 years(mean is 9 years and 5 months) and officials or members of 3 non-government hospice organizations. There are 61 hospices in Korea. Even though hospice personnel have tried to study and to provide qualified hospice serices, there is nor any formal hospice linkage or network in Korea. This is the result of this survey made to clarify the situation of Korean hospice. Results of the study by Delphi Technique were as follows: 1.Hospice Resources: Key hospice personnel were found to be hospice coordinator, doctor, nurse, clergy, social worker, volunteers. Necessary qualifications for all personnel was that they conditions were resulted as have good health, receive hospice education and have communication skills. Education for hospice personnel is divided into (i)basic training and (ii)special education, e.g. palliative medicine course for hospice specialist or palliative care course in master degree for hospice nurse specialist. Hospice facilities could be developed by adding a living room, a space for family members, a prayer room, a church, an interview room, a kitchen, a dining room, a bath facility, a hall for music, art or work therapy, volunteers' room, garden, etc. to hospital facilities. 2.Hospice Organization: Whilst there are three non-government hospice organizations active at present, in the near future an hospice officer in the Health&Welfare Ministry plus a government Hospice body are necessary. However a non-government council to further integrate hospice development is also strongly recommended. 3.Hospice Finances: A New insurance standards, I.e. the charge for hospice care services, public information and tax reduction for donations were found suggested as methods to rise the hospice budget. 4.Hospice Management: Two divisions of hospice management/care were considered to be necessary in future. The role of the hospice officer in the Health & Welfare Ministry would be quality control of hospice teams and facilities involved/associated with hospice insurance standards. New non-government integrating councils role supporting the development of hospice care, not insurance covered. 5.Hospice delivery: Linkage&networking between hospice facilities and first, second, third level medical institutions are needed in order to provide varied and continous hospice care. Hospice Acts need to be established within the limits of medical law with regards to standards for professional staff members, educational programs, etc. The results of this study could be utilizes towards the development to two hospice care delivery system models, A and B. Model A is based on the hospital, especially the hospice unit, because in this setting is more easily available the new medical insurance for hospice care. Therefore a hospice team is organized in the hospital and may operate in the hospice unit and in the home hospice care service. After Model A is set up and operating, Model B will be the next stage, in which medical insurance cover will be extended to home hospice care service. This model(B) is also based on the hospital, but the focus of the hospital hospice unit will be moved to home hospice care which is connected by local physicians, national public health centers, community parties as like churches or volunteer groups. Model B will contribute to the care of terminally ill patients and their family members and also assist hospital administrators in cost-effectiveness.

북한지역에서 핵실험으로 추정되는 두 번의 발파가 관측되었다. 한국지질자원연구원 관측소와 한중 공동관측소는 북한과 주변국간의 경계에 고르게 분포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 북한 핵실험 장소로부터 200 km에서 550 km 거리에 있는 광대역 지진 관측소의 자료를 사용하여 북한의 2차례 핵실험을 비교 분석하였다. 관측소별 1차 실험과 2차 실험의 초동 Pn 도착 시간차를 비교함으로서 상대적인 위치이동을 계산할 수 있다. Pn 속도를 8 km/s로 가정하고, 실험 장소와 관측소간의 기하학적인 관계를 이용하여 계산한 결과, 2차 장소는 1차 장소로부터 서북서 방향으로 2 km 거리에 위치하는 것으로 추정된다. P 파로부터 계산된 2차 실험의 실체파 규모는 평균적으로 4.5이나, 관측소별로는 최대 5.2에서 최소 4.1로 아주 큰 차이를 보인다. 이에 비해 Lg 파로부터 계산한 2차 실험의 규모는 평균적으로 4.6이며, 관측소별로 최대 4.7에서 최소 4.3사이로 P 파에 의한 규모에 비해 관측소간의 차이가 작다. 1, 2차 실험의 이동 윈도우 주파수 스펙트럼은 매우 비슷한 패턴을 보여 주며 두 실험의 초동 P 파의 모서리 주파수는 거의 차이가 없다. 따라서 2차 실험의 깊이가 1차 때와 비슷한 것으로 추정된다. 2차 실험의 폭발력은 관측소별 1차와 2차의 지반속도비로부터 계산한 결과 1차에 비하여 8배 큰 것으로 추정된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide containing nerve fibers in rat pulp after dentinl injury by means of immunohistochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscope. The Spague-Dawley rats weighing about 250-300gm were used. The animals were devided into normal control and experimental groups. Experimental animals were sacrified 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 21days after dentinal injury (dentin cutting, and then acid etching with 35% phosphoric acid) on the maxillary molar teeth. The maxillary teeth and alveolar bone were removed and immersed in the 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), then were decalcified with 15% formic acid for 10 days. Serial frozen $50{\mu}m$ thick sections were cut on a cryostat. The rabbit CGRP antibody was used as a primary antibody with a dilution of 1:2000 in 0.01M PB. The sections were incubated for 48 hours at $4^{\circ}C$, and placed into biotinylated antirabbit Ig G as a secondary anti body with dilution of 1:200 in 0.01M PB and incubated in ABC(avidin-biotin complex). The peroxidase reaction was visualized by incubating the sections in 0.05% 3,3 diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride containing 0.02% $H_2O_2$. For the confocal laser scanning microscopic examination, Primary antibody reaction was same as immunoperoxidase stainning, but fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-conjugate antirabbit IgG as a secondary antibody was used. The confocal laser scanning microscope was used for the examination. A series of images of optical sections was collected with a 20x objective at $3{\mu}m$ intervals throughout the depth of specimen. FITC fluerescence was registrated through a 488nm and 568nm excitation filter, and images were saved on optical disk. The stereoscopic images and three dimentionnal images were reconstructed by computer software, and then were analyzed. The results were as follows : 1. In normal control group, CGRP containing nerve fibers were coursed through the root with very little branching, and then formed a dense network of terminals in coronal pulp. 2. A slight increase in CGRP containing nerve fibers at 1 and 2day postinjury was noted subjacent to the injury site. In the 4day group, there were an extensive increase in the number of reactive fibers, followed by a partial return toward normal levels at 7~10 day postinjury, and return by 21days. 3. The sprouting of the CGRP containing nerve fibers was evident within 2day after dentinal injury, and by 4days there was a maximal increased, but was decreased at 7days and returned to normal 10~21 day postinjury. 4. In confocal laser scanning microscopic exammination, the distinct distribution pattern and sprouting reaction of CGRP containing nerve fibers were observed in stereoscopic images and three dimentional images. These results suggest that CGRP containing nerve fiber can be important role in the response to dental injury and pain regulation.

This study was done to provide information which would lead to nursing care of the elderly being more holistically through an understanding of the phenomena of powerlessness based on the lived experience of powerlessness by the elderly, the meaning the elderly give to such phenomena, and what essence of powerlessness is. The methodology used in this study was Max Van Manen's phenomenological method based on the philosophy of Merleu-Ponty and a concerted approach was realized through the 11 steps suggested in the Van Manen's method. Data collection was done from March 2, 1995 to December 30, 1995. The subjects for this study were four elderly persons who lived with their families and who were over 60 years of age. Data were collected about the lived experience of the elderly, this researcher's experience of powerlessness, the linguistic meaning of powerlessness, idioms of the word or a feeling of powerlessness, and descriptions of powerlessness in the elderly as they appeared in the literature, are works, and phenomenological literature. All data were used to provide insights into the phenomena of powerlessness. Data about the experience of powerlessness by the elderly were collected through open interviews, participation, and observation. In the analysis of the theme of this study, the aspects of the theme, powerlessness in the elderly were clarified, thereby abstracting and finding meaningful statements by the elderly about their feeling of powerlessness, and then those significant statements were expressed as linguistic transformations. The summarized findings from the study are as follows : 1. Five meanings of powerlessness in the elderly were defined. 〈weakness〉, 〈dependence〉, 〈frustration〉, 〈worthlessness〉 and 〈giving up〉. 2. 〈Weakness〉 means that the elderly experience, not only their aging but also, their becoming weak and the loss of physical function frequently caused by diseases. 〈Dependence〉 means that the elderly experience dependence without any influence from the surroundings and that elderly patients who are hospitalized lose their autonomy, follow entirely their doctor's prescriptions, use aid equipment and directions, and depend only on those things. 〈Frustration〉 means that the elderly experience the loss of their roles from the past, there by feeling that there is no work for them to do anymore and therefore feel unable to do anything. 〈Worthlessness〉 means that the elderly experience the feeling of losing their social roles from the past, having no financial ability, thereby being a burden to their children or the people around them, and therefore regarding themselves useless. 〈Giving up〉 means that the elderly experience the feeling of closeness to death in the final stage of their lifetime, lose hope to be healed from their disease, and recognize the incontrollability of their own body. 3. From a general view of the meaning of the theme the powerlessness in the elderly-the most essential meaning of the theme is the 〈sense of loss〉. For the elderly are experiencing a sense of loss in the situation of being elderly and therefore being often hospitalized. Brief definitions of the five phenomena could be 〈weakness〉 meaning the loss of physical strength, 〈dependence〉 the loss of mentality caused by disease and hospitalization, 〈frustration〉 and 〈worthlessness〉 the loss of social performance caused by the loss of social functions from the past, and lastly 〈giving up〉 the loss of the controllability of such situations of aging and suffering disease. In light of the discussion above, it is understandable that the hospitalized elderly experience powerlessness not only as it related to their diseases but also to their normal aging, and this related to other characteristics of being elderly means that the 〈sense of loss〉 is the very essence of their powerlessness. 4. While most cases are of the normal elderly experiencing powerlessness in relation to their social network, cases of elderly who are hospitalized are of those experiencing powerlessness in relation to the loss of their physical desire. 5. The findings discussed above can serve as guidelines for nurses who take care of the ill elderly who are hospitalized and that can provide cues to appropriate nursing service, recognizing that the subjective experience of the objective age of the elderly is so important. Nurses can provide highly qualitative nursing service, based on their deep understanding of the suffering of the elderly due to feelings of powerlessness.

Background: We investigated the effect of donor marrow T cell depletion, administration of FK506, cyclosporin A (CSA), and 3-deazaadenosine (DZA) on graft versus host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic murine hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: We used 4 to 6 week old Balb/c ($H-2^d$, recipient), and C3H/He ($H-2^k$, donor) mice. Total body irradiated recipients received $1{\times}10^7$ bone marrow cells (BM) and $0.5{\times}10^7$ splenocytes of donor under FK506 (36 mg/kg/day), CSA (5 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day), and DZA (45 mg/kg/day), which were injected intraperitoneally from day 1 to day 14 daily and then three times a week for another 2 weeks. To prevent the GVHD, irradiated Balb/c mice were transplanted with $1{\times}10^7$ rotor-off (R/O) cells of donor BM. The severity of GVHD was assessed daily by clinical scoring method. Results: All experimental groups were well grafted after HSCT. Mice in experimental group showed higher GVHD score and more rapid progression of GVHD than the mice with R/O cells (R/O group) (p<0.01). There were relatively low GVHD scores and slow progressions in FK506 and low dose CSAgroups than high dose CSA group (p<0.01). The survival was better in FK506 group than low dose CSA group. All mice treated with CSA died within 12 days after HSCT. The GVHD score in DZA group was low and slow in comparison with control group (p<0.05), but severity and progression were similar with low dose CSA group (p=0.11). All mice without immunosuppressive treatment died within 8 days, but all survived in R/O group (p<0.01). Survival in low dose CSA group was longer than in control group (p<0.05), but in high dose CSA group, survival was similar to control group. The survival benefit in DZA group was similar with low dose CSA group. FK506 group has the best survival benefit than other groups (p<0.01), comparable with R/O group (p=0.18), although probability of survival was 60%. Conclusion: We developed lethal GVHD model after allogeneic murine HSCT. In this model, immunosuppressive agents showed survival benefits in prevention of GVHD. DZA showed similar survival benefits to low dose CSA. We propose that DZA can be used as a new immunosuppressive agent to prevent GVHD after allogeneic HSCT.

This article is concerned with the comment on "Some New Problems of International Aviation Security-Considerations Forcused on its Legal Aspects". Ever since 1970, in addition to the problem of failure to accept the Tokyo, Hague and Montreal Conventions, there has been also the problem of parties to them, failing to comply with their obligations under the respective treaties, in the form especially of nominal penalties or the lack of any effort to prosecute after blank refusals to extradite. There have also been cases of prolonged detention of aircraft, passengers and hostages. In this regard, all three conventions contain identical clauses which submit disputes between two or more contracting States concerning the interpretation or application of the respective conventions to arbitration or failing agreement on the organization of the arbitration, to the International Court of Justice. To the extent to which contracting States have not contracted out of this undertaking, as I fear they are expressly allowed to do, this promision can be used by contracting States to ensure compliance. But to date, this avenue does not appear to have been used. From this point of view, it may be worth mentioning that there appears to be an alarming trend towards the view that the defeat of terrorism is such an overriding imperative that all means of doing so become, in international law, automatically lawful. In addition, in as far as aviation security is concerned, as in fact it has long been suggested, what is required is the "application of the strictest security measures by all concerned."In this regard, mention should be made of Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention on Security-Safeguarding International Civil Aviation against Acts of Unlawful Intereference. ICAO has, moreover, compiled, for restricted distribution, a Security Manual for Safeguarding Civil Aviation Against Acts of Unlawful Interference, which is highly useful. In this regard, it may well be argued that, unless States members of ICAO notify the ICAO Council of their inability to comply with opecific standards in Annex 17 or any of the related Annexes in accordance with Article 38 of the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, their failure to do so can involve State responsibility and, if damage were to insure, their liability. The same applies to breaches of any other treaty obligation. I hope to demonstrate that although modes of international violence may change, their underlying characteristics remain broadly similar, necessitating not simply the adoption of an adequate body of domestic legislation, firm in its content and fairly administered, but also an international network of communication, of cooperation and of coordination of policies. Afurther legal instrument is now being developed by the Legal Committee of ICAO with respect to unlawful acts at International airports. These instruments, however, are not very effective, because of the absence of universal acceptance and the deficiency I have already pointed out. Therefore, States, airports and international airlines have to concentrate on prevention. If the development of policies is important at the international level, it is equally important in the domestic setting. For example, the recent experiences of France have prompted many changes in the State's legislation and in its policies towards terrorism, with higher penalties for terrorist offences and incentives which encourage accused terrorists to pass informations to the authorities. And our government has to tighten furthermore security measures. Particularly, in the case an unarmed hijacker who boards having no instrument in his possession with which to promote the hoax, a plaintiff-passenger would be hard-pressed to show that the airline was negligent in screening the hijacker prior to boarding. In light of the airline's duty to exercise a high degree of care to provide for the safety of all the passengers on board, an acquiescence to a hijacker's demands on the part of the air carrier could constitute a breach of duty only when it is clearly shown that the carrier's employees knew or plainly should have known that the hijacker was unarmed. The general opinion is that the legal oystem could be sufficient, provided that the political will is there to use and apply it effectively. All agreed that the main responsibility for security has to be borne by the governments. A state that supports aviation terrorism is responsible for violation of International Aviation Law. Generally speaking, terrorism is a violation of international law. It violates the sovereign rights of states, and the human rights of the individuals. We have to contribute more to the creation of a general consensus amongst all states about the need to combat the threat of aviation terrorism. I think that aviation terrorism as becoming an ever more serious issue, has to be solved by internationally agreed and closely co - ordinated measures.

빅데이터의 중요성에 대한 인식이 확산되고, 관련한 기술이 발전됨에 따라, 최근에는 빅데이터의 처리와 분석의 결과를 어떻게 시각화할 것인지가 매우 관심 받는 주제로 부각되고 있다. 이는 분석된 결과를 보다 명확하고 효과적으로 전달하는 데에 있어서 데이터의 시각화가 매우 효과적인 방법이기 때문이다. 시각화는 분석 시스템과 사용자가 소통하기 위한 하나의 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(GUI)를 담당하는 역할을 한다. 통상적으로 이러한 GUI 부분은 데이터의 처리나 분석의 결과와 독립될 수록 시스템의 개발과 유지보수가 용이하며, MVC(Model-View-Controller)와 같은 디자인 패턴의 적용을 통해 GUI와 데이터 처리 및 관리 부분 간의 결합도를 최소화하는 것이 중요하다. 한편 빅데이터는 크게 정형 데이터와 비정형 데이터로 구분할 수 있는데 정형 데이터는 시각화가 상대적으로 용이한 반면, 비정형 데이터는 시각화를 구현하기가 복잡하고 다양하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 비정형 데이터에 대한 분석과 활용이 점점 더 확산됨에 따라, 기존의 전통적인 정형 데이터를 위한 시각화 도구들의 한계를 벗어나기 위해 각각의 시스템들의 목적에 따라 고유의 방식으로 시각화 시스템이 구축되는 현실에 직면해 있다. 더욱이나 현재 비정형 데이터 분석의 대상 중 대부분을 차지하고 있는 텍스트 데이터의 경우 언어 분석, 텍스트 마이닝, 소셜 네트워크 분석 등 적용 기술이 매우 다양하여 하나의 시스템에 적용된 시각화 기술을 다른 시스템에 적용하는 것이 용이하지 않다. 이는 현재의 텍스트 분석 결과에 대한 정보 모델이 서로 다른 시스템에 적용될 수 있도록 설계되지 못하는 경우가 많기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 텍스트 데이터 분석 사례와 시각화 사례들의 공통적 구성 요소들을 식별하여 표준화된 정보 모델인 텍스트 데이터 시각화 모델을 제시하고, 이를 통해 시각화의 GUI 부분과 연결할 수 있는 시스템 모델로서의 시각화 프레임워크인 TexVizu를 제안하고자 한다.
