Context-sensitive spelling errors (CSSE) are hard to correct, since they are perfect words when analyzed alone. Determined only by considering the semantic and syntactic relations of their context, CSSEs affect largely the performance of spelling and grammar checkers. The existing Korean Spelling and Grammar Checker (KSGC 4.5) adopts a rule-based method, which uses hand-made correction rules for CSSEs. Using rule-based method, the KSGC 4.5 is designed to obtain the very high precision, which results in the extremely low recall. In this paper, we integrate our previous works that control the CSSE correction rules, in order to improve the recall without sacrificing the precision. In addition to the integration, facultative insertion of adverbs and conjugation suffix of predicates are also considered, as for constraint-loosening linguistic features.

In order to examine nutritional and behavioral risk factors of atopic dermatitis (AD) in Korean preschoolers, we analyzed data on 144 children aged 3-6 years with AD and their 434 healthy counterparts. The data included breast-feeding history, current weight, food behaviors assessed by the Mini Dietary Assessment (MDA), food intake by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and behavior problems by the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scale (PKBS). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed after controlling for preschool location and child's age, gender and total energy intake, as appropriate. There was no group difference of child and household characteristics. Breastfeeding history was related to lower AD risk (OR = 0.63, 95% Cl = 0.40-0.99), yet no statistically significant association was found with overweight status. Regarding food behaviors, AD risk was lower in children who drank milk at least one cup per day (OR = 0.52, 95% Cl = 0.35-0.78) and had regular meals (OR = 0.62, 95% Cl =0.42-0.92). Moreover, there were lower risks of AD in the second (OR =0.48, 95% Cl = 0.28-0.82) and the highest (OR = 0.55, 95% Cl = 0.32-0.94) intake quartiles as compared with the lowest quartile of kimchi intake. Similarly, AD risk was lower in the highest quartile of rice (OR = 0.51 Cl = 0.28-0.93) and the second quartile of fruit (OR =0.45, 95% Cl = 0.25-0.82) intakes. AD children had more problems in social interaction (OR = 1.97,95% Cl = 1.26-3.07) and independence (OR = 1.60, 95% Cl = 1.01 -2.54) measures than the healthy controls. Likewise, AD children tended to show more problem behaviors such as anxiety (OR = 1.63, 95% Cl = 0.99-2.69). Our results suggest that nutritional and behavioral dimensions are related to AD risk, yet the case control study design may preclude generalization of these results.

This study analyzed the research trends and methodologies through meta analysis method on the issues of ICT policy and e-government in Korean major journals and proceedings including Korean Association of Public Administration (KAPA), Korean Association of Policy Studies (KAPS), and Korean Journal of Information Policy of NIA (National Information Agency). The results showed that methodology has changed from explorative study with conceptualization to experimental study with theoretical model and cases. Qualitative approaches including case studies and description with policy implications were employed more as analyses tools. In terms of contents, system effectiveness and e-governance issues prevailed in the early 2000s, and since then, it has changed into ICT-based social changes and looking for generalization of theories including e-democracy, e-service, e-participation, digital divide, and post-information society. Now we are facing another ICT revolution of social network via web3.0 and gov3.0 and it is time to open a new theoretical debate, deconstruction of discourse, and collaborative perspective among different disciplines.

The paper proposes the fuzzy logic global approximate optimization strategies in optimal sizing of automotive A-pillar trim with rib structures for occupant head protection. Two different strategies referred to as evolutionary fuzzy modeling (EFM) and neuro-fuzzy modeling (NFM) are implemented in the context of global approximate optimization. EFM and NFM are based on soft computing paradigms utilizing fuzzy systems, neural networks and evolutionary computing techniques. Such approximation methods may have their promising characteristics in a case where the inherent nonlinearity in analysis model should be accommodated over the entire design space and the training data is not sufficiently provided. The objective of structural design is to determine the dimensions of rib in A-pillar, minimizing the equivalent head injury criterion HIC(d). The paper describes the head-form modeling and head impact simulation using LS-DYNA3D, and the approximation procedures including fuzzy rule generation, membership function selection and inference process for EFM and NFM, and subsequently presents their generalization capabilities in terms of number of fuzzy rules and training data.

The purpose of this study was to analyze mathematical the effects of problem posing activities on students' characteristics toward mathematics to encourage active learning. We will also examine various examples of the characteristics of the problems made by students with different mathematical characteristics. We chose one 6th grade group to conduct this research. From the results of this study, we obtained the following conclusions. First, problem posing activities are effective in improving students' mathematical interest and confidence, value recognition. Second, Students with different mathematical characteristics showed different results in problem posing activities. We confirmed the effectiveness of problem posing activities on students' positive characteristics of mathematics. In this regard, we were able to confirm examples of various problems that students made. In the future, we would like to propose generalization by conducting research on students of various school ages.

Recently the Elderly with dementia is increasing in Korea with rapid aging of the population. In addition to increasing a number of nuclear family and women's advancement in society, people are less capable of supporting family with dementia. In response, the Seoul city increased welfare facilities for the elderly with dementia about two times for one year. I think that the quantitative portion of facility get to meet the requirements but it is lack of qualitative one in fact. Therefore, the space for the elderly can keep up with the falloff of mental and physical functions, dementia and geriatric diseases according to aging and careful consideration about the space considering stability and convenience is required. At this point, this study has the purpose to plan a daycare center which reflects the characteristics of the elderly to protect them within the community safely and comfortably. As for the research method, case study was conducted to understand the overall situation on the space plan of the daycare center for 3 daycare centers located in Seoul and found out problems. From the generalization of the above study, a space plan for a daycare center considering the characteristics of the elderly was provided. The composition of Dementia welfare facility should be carefully planned to fit characteristics of the patient's behaviors.

During the last year, we had a very severe situation with the strike of physicians working in medical facilities. From that time, many politicians and scholars insisted on the expansion of public hospitals to enhance the public role in the medical care sector. They think that private medical facilities work for profit motivation and that the high proportion of private to whole facilities is an obstacle to the public function of medical care under social insurance system. They found that one of the reasons for failing to prevent the physicians' strike was the high proportion of private facilities. Others insisted that the strike was not a good reason for the expansion of public hospitals. The physicians' strike was a very rare case, and it is not a good basis for generalization of the discussion of public hospitals. Last year almost all apprentice physicians in public facilities took part in the strike, and consequently the public hospitals also lost the role of public function. They view this increasing involvement of government in the medical sector as improper and the cause of inefficiencies. In this paper we review the debate over the expansion of public facilities. To clarify the debate, we review traditional criteria for the role of government in a market system and to apply these criteria to medical care. There are two traditional areas where government Is acknowledged to have a role in a market system: market imperfections and market failure. Where market imperfections and market failure exist, there may be a role for government. The justifications for government intervention are consumer protection and the existence of externalities. One of externalities is to provide medical care for the poor. The appropriate measures to provide medical owe to the poor can be sought in both demand and supply side subsidies. National health insurance is a method of demand subsidies and establishment of public hospitals is a method of supply side subsidies. Under the National Health Insurance System, the expansion of public hospitals is not an appropriate subsidy policy.

This study reviews geographical research trends on 'New industrial agglomeration' in Korea and recommends research issues for further studies. Recent studies on industrial agglomeration region have typically concentrated on empirical case studies from new 'perspectives'. As a result, the establishment and theorizing of frameworks for analysis on industrial agglomeration have been given too little attention. To solve this problem research should be conducted to develop frameworks for analysis integrating noneconomic factors and existing economic factors, a strategy emphasized in new industrial agglomeration theory. By doing so, research investigating viability mechanism and generalization will be invigorated. Meanwhile, research focused excessively on social and cultural conditions of region-related networks between actors in economic space at specific scales should be excluded. In addition, academic research on vitalizing industrial agglomeration region, such as cluster policy, should be strengthened. In order to conduct these research objectives effectively, it is necessary to vitalize overall understanding among researchers of industrial agglomeration and provide a place for collaborative learning.

Chinese Postman Problem (CPP) is a problem that finds a shortest tour traversing all edges or arcs at least once in a given network. The Chinese Postman Problem on Mixed networks (MCPP) is a Practical generalization of the classical CPP and it has many real-world applications. The MCPP has been shown to be NP-complete. In this paper, we transform a mixed network into a symmetric network using virtual arcs that are shortest paths by Floyd's algorithm. With the transformed network, we propose a Genetic Algorithm (GA) that converges to a near optimal solution quickly by a multi-directional search technique. We study the chromosome structure used in the GA and it consists of a path string and an encoding string. An encoding method, a decoding method, and some genetic operators that are needed when the MCPP is solved using the Proposed GA are studied. . In addition, two scaling methods are used in proposed GA. We compare the performance of the GA with an existing Modified MDXED2 algorithm (Pearn et al. , 1995) In the simulation results, the proposed method is better than the existing methods in case the network has many edges, the Power Law scaling method is better than the Logarithmic scaling method.

The case of South Korea's Internet newspapers, harmful advertising is illegal but rampant. The children and youth are not protected, so effective measures are urgently required. Therefore, to achieve self-regulation, a discrimination system model using collective intelligence and collective emotions is proposed. This study is to suggest a Discrimination System Model of harmful contents using collective intelligence and collective emotions as the actual program of self-regulation. The Discrimination System model forms the level of harmful contents by using contents, form, text, size as well as the implied and reminiscent story of image as discriminant factors of a group testing. The formed level is established for harmful contents discriminant criteria after going through the process of generalization again. It can be not clear and ambiguous for internet newspaper banner ads to be measure the level of harmfulness. This Discrimination System will have the strengths of resolving this problem.
