The purpose of this study was to test a causal model of employed and unemployed wives on the basis of the family resource management system theory. The data of this study were obtained from 244 wives who lived in Seoul and were financial mangers. Major findings of this study were as follows: 1. Both employed and unemployed wives, knowledge of financial management was significantly predictor of financial planning. That is, household financial mangers with more financial knowlege used more effective planning behaviors than did those financial managers with less financial konwlege. This results emphasize the significance of enhancing the financial konwledge in the household financial management. 2. For unemployed wives, expectation of household’s future financial condition was influenced by age, household income, locus of control over their financial situation, and perception of financial management’s effectiveness. The strongest predictor of expectation of the household’s future financial situation was age. Younger managers were more optimistic about the future. 3. The findings of this study support theoretical framework on the basis of the family resource management system theory, both for employed and unemployed wives.

This paper is the result of simulation modeling concerning high-level radioactive waste repository(HLRWR) and people's mind for the facility. We describe a procedure of simulation modeling for resident's policy acceptance and perceived risk of HLRWR facility by using System Dynamics approach. To Complete some complicated works, we made the 20 pieces of stock-flow diagrams based on the causal loop diagram that is a blue print of whole variables and relations. The simulation outputs clearly show that cental government efforts to siting the HLRWR will be failed if nothing to give for the region's residents. On the contrary, a monetary incentive and a regional development program help to turn this gloomy situation into a desirable and acceptable condition dramatically. Government has to prepare the schemes considering the HLRWR acceptance and total supporting program including the cash and local development programs.

Occurrence of brown rot was observed on imported orange fruits, and irregular brown spots were appeared as an intial symptom. White colored mycelia were developed rapidly on the surface of the fruits under the humid condition and resulted in rotting of the fruits. The causal organism of brown rot of orange was identified as Phytophthora citrophthora. Most sporangia were nondeciduous, papillate, ovoid, and measured 25.5~51.5$\times$17.9~34.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. P. citrophtora was pathogenic on Satsuma mandarin as well as orange. Symptoms were produced 3~7 days after artificial inoculation of sporangia and mycelia mixture on the fruits of orange and Satsuma mandarin, which were similar to those on the naturally infected fruits.

The basic concept of analysis of human error that induced railway accident is that errors are consequences, not causes. But in most cases, it is likely that direct causes of the accident could be concluded as real causes, which make it difficult to find out root causes. Design, training, staffing, culture and condition are general category applied to investigate human error. In order to examine how those approach could help accident analysis, this paper studied accident investigation reports of UK RAIB(Rail Accident Investigation Branch). Rather than consider specific investigation method, we focus investigation result on how to describe causal factors and how to indicate recommendations to prevent similar accident. The reports show that they try to find out causes more in organizational, environmental and job factors, which implies the necessity to improve investigation process of human error accident in Korea.

In these days global energy policy is changed from "supply" to "demand". In this regards, there are needs to analysis on effect of policy such as energy efficiency strategy, electricity rates. This study examines the relationship between energy consumption reduced by new energy policy and GDP growth for each industrial sector for Korea from 1970 to 2013. With respect to the direction of causality, energy use of 1th industry like agriculture and mining leads to GDP growth. On the other hand, GDP growth of 2nd industry, manufacturing, leads to energy use. And there is bidirectional causality in 3rd industry, service sector. These findings imply that the government policies aimed at reducing electricity consumptions and increasing energy efficiency should be progressed cautiously depend on status of each industry condition.

'JOBLESS GROWTH' is a word to explain the world's common problem of unemployment. But, 'highly educated youth unemployment' is the unique condition that Korea society is facing. In this paper, we determine the cause of the problem with causal loop diagram and reach the conclusion. It is the paradigm to be highly educated person and that paradigm became permanent after the Korean War. People think that only highly educated person can bring wealth and honor, so they spend much money for their children's private education to enter university. Though young people receive bachelor's degree, they spend much money to get job. To solve these problems, this paper suggest three solutions. The first is to shift the paradigm to be highly educated person. The second is to expand the opportunities of public education as education system of Finland. And the third is to support the youth aptitude.

Mycosphaerella nawae, the causal organism, of spotted leaf casing disease of persimmon, was isolated from infected leaves showing typical symptom. The cultural characteristics of the fungus were compared on artificial media. Among 24 different combinations of culture media and supplements, oatmeal agar+persimmon leaf extract (PLE) and PAD+ PLE+streptomycin showed the highest rate of isolating as 57.1%. The best medium for mycelial growth of the fungus was PDA+persimmon leaf powder (PLP). The colony diameter was reached 47mm for 30 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$. PDA+PLE also supported good mcyelial growth showing 46mm of diameter in same condition. The optimum growth temperature of this fungus in PDA was recognized fairly low. The mycelial growth was higher at 2$0^{\circ}C$ than 15$^{\circ}C$. The variation of pH between pH 4 to pH 8 did not affect to the mycelial growth of the pathogen.

Campomelic dysplasia (CD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple skeletal anomalies and the abnormal development of male reproductive organs. To date, the SOX9 gene is the only known causal gene for CD, and approximately 90 causative mutations in SOX9 have been identified worldwide. CD is diagnosed based on clinical characteristics of skeletal dysplasia (e.g., short bowed long bones, kyphoscoliosis, bell-shaped thoracic cage with 11 pairs of ribs, and hypoplastic scapulars), typical facial features of Pierre Robin sequence with cleft palate, and gonadal dysgenesis in 46,XY individuals. Most patients with CD exhibit life-threatening respiratory failure owing to laryngotracheomalacia and hypoplastic thorax during the neonatal period. Although fatal complications decrease after infancy, several medical conditions continue to require proper management. A better understanding of this rare but lethal condition may lead to more appropriate treatments for patients.

Oxygen radicals are produced in many pathophysiologic states whether the event is a causal factor of illness or is a result of their progression. Oxygen radicals including superoxide anions. hydrogen peroxide are thought to be involved in a number of type of acute. and chronic pathologic condition in the brain and neural tissue. So the antioxidants have recently received much attention as therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease. In this study. we describe synthesis of a series of chromenone derivatives as antioxidant agents. The target compounds are designed to include the structural frature of caffeic acid. flavoniod. and focopherol known as antioxidants.
