This study was conducted to understand the effects on the attitude toward the elderly, willingness to geriatric nursing practice, and global competencies by developing a geriatric-nursing convergence education program. This program that combines the theory of elderly care and practical education and applies it to nursing students. This is a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The study participants consisted of 19 in a control group and 17 in an experimental group. They were the second-year of the nursing students in A city, Chungcheongnam-do. This program, including character building, elderly care competence, global competence, and community contribution, was held for 80 hours from August 28, 2017 to December 8, 2017. The experimental group compared to the control group, attitude toward the elderly (Z =-.46, p =.66), willingness to geriatric nursing practice (Z =-.64, p =.53), global competence (Z =-1.08, p =.29) showed no statistically significant difference. As a result of this study, it is suggested to develop and implement a convergence education program that nursing students can form positive attitudes toward the elderly and interact directly with the elderly.

There is a growing interest in the education of gifted children nation-wide. The present study was performed to find out characteristics of students who are receiving special education as gifted using a new psychological inventory which measures the temperament and charcter separately. We compared students who have been selected for their trlent in math and science with students who do well academically. Academic competence was operationally defined by grades or by IQ. Gifted children are usually thought to be characterized by an innate ability, and it was expected that there would be some difference between temperaments of the gifted group and those of the academically competent group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups not only in their temperaments, but also in other sub-scales of character. This result suggests that in spite of the extensive effort and cost involved in the selection process, the children who are currently selected as gifted show no distinction when compared to academically competent students. Based on the results some practical suggestions were made in order to improve the selection of the gifted children.

Since China and South Korea are equally concerned about high school education, so this study focuses on high school education, through the study of the objectives and structure, content, implementation, and evaluation of China's general high school education curriculum reform program, analyzing its characteristics and problems, and based on the problem, point to make the corresponding suggestions and comments. The results of the study, first, the reason for the reform of the high school curriculum is because of the emergence of compulsory education and need a curriculum that fits the actual high school education. Second, the character of China's high school curriculum goals are based on the trend of China's future social development, focusing on students' lifelong learning ability and core competence. the character of structure is that the subject courses and activity courses are parallel, and the elective courses and compulsory courses are parallel. The character of content is the emphasis on the era, basicity, and selectivity of the content. the character of Implementation and evaluation is the provision of support for implementation and the adoption of sustainable development methods. High school education courses have three problems in the curriculum itself and teachers and university entrance exams. There three suggestions about the problems, first, it is necessary to examine whether high school education is for preparation for admission or education for the public. Second, it is necessary to provide training that can enhance the core competencies of teachers. Third, the high school graduation evaluation and the university entrance evaluation system need to be improved.

This study aims to look closely picture books regarding bullying and to analyze people directly involved in resolution to bullying problems and conflict-coping method in those picture books. 71 picture books on bullying were examined in this study. Results are as follows: (1) As person directly involved in resolution to bullying problems, 'victim by himself' settles a conflict situation over half of the books, followed by 'victim and other character' and 'other character alone'. (2) various types are described relatively evenly such as 'getting positive mind or building confidence', 'distancing bullies group or making new friends', 'gaining recognition by showing one's competence off', 'helping bullies or being nice to bullies' for conflict-coping method to bullying problems. In conclusion, the necessity of community effort rather than an individual's own effort to solve bullying problems and possibilities of teaching of language use in those books were discussed.

The purpose of the study is to enhance the figure analysis ability for pre-service elementary teacher by using GSP. To do this, we limited to teaching competence divide into ability various problem-solving, extract key elements, predict the difficulty of student and investigated the initial of them, the reality of GSP construction. As results, pre-service elementary teachers made errors, proposed teaching focused on the character using in the problem solving, and found that in one particular difficulties to find the students. The reality of GSP construction activity was possible to explore through the partially constructed a number of various properties, but we found to have difficulty in the connection between concepts. and integrated view of the problem analysis. After visual identification and exploration through the GSP construction, problem-solving ability became a little more variety and changed their direction in order to focus the student's anticipated difficulties. From these results, we could extract some pedagogical implications helping pre-service teachers to reinforce teaching competence by GSP construction.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the validity or effectiveness of the Arbitration Clause such as Model Clause I, and to confirm how other issues such as arbitrable "investment", appointment of arbitrators and law governing the agreement be reflected in the agreement. However, the parties should be sure that the arbitration clause is valid if they have checked whether, for their particular situation, the ICSID Centre has jurisdiction. For the validity of the Arbitration Clause, first the host country and the country which the investor belong to must be "contracting states" to the ICSID Convention. Second, the specific consent to arbitrate must be expressed in writing in the investment contract or in a national investment law or in an investment protection treaty. The issue of "nationality" of an other contracting state is determined by the place of incorporation or the location of the head office. In case the parties have doubts about a valid consent to arbitrate, Art. 41 of the ICSID Convention provides, regarding ICSID jurisdiction, that the tribunal shall be the judge of its own competence. It follows that ICSID Arbitration has an autonomous and exclusive character. As a consequence, domestic courts may not interfere with the question of ICSID's jurisdiction, which is called as "rule of abstention".

Inter-cellular communication via diffusible small molecules is a defining character not only of multicellular forms of life but also of single-celled organisms. A large number of bacterial genes are regulated by the change of chemical milieu mediated by the local population density of its own species or others. The cell density-dependent "autoinducer" molecules regulate the expression of those genes involved in genetic competence, biofilm formation and persistence, virulence, sporulation, bioluminescence, antibiotic production, and many others. Recent innovations in recombinant DNA technology and micro-/nano-fluidics systems render the genetic circuitry responsible for cell-to-cell communication feasible to and malleable via synthetic biological approaches. Here we review the current understanding of the molecular biology of bacterial intercellular communication and the novel experimental protocols and platforms used to investigate this phenomenon. A particular emphasis is given to the genetic regulatory circuits that provide the standard building blocks which constitute the syntax of the biochemical communication network. Thus, this review gives focus to the engineering principles necessary for rewiring bacterial chemo-communication for various applications, ranging from population-level gene expression control to the study of host-pathogen interactions.

Recently, the use of soft-keyboard is widespread and increases, because various handheld devices were developed such as PDA, navigation, mobile phones with enhanced competence of touchscreen. The use of soft-keyboard requires different characteristics compared to traditional hard-keyboard like QWERTY keyboard: no standard character layout, one finger entry, and cognitive processing time. In this study, therefore, the optimal soft-keyboard layout for one finger text entry in touchscreen environment was investigated among 6 keyboard layouts which were developed based on traditional characteristic of Korean text and the usage frequency of both vowels and consonants. As a result, the interface with Korean text invention order like 'ㄱㄴㄷㄹ' or 'ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅕ' was found to be better than the interface with usage frequency-based arrangement. Especially the vowels were most efficient when separated into two parts; located at the right-hand side and at right below the consonants. In conclusion, the keyboard layout with regard to the Korean text characteristic and the invention order was a more effective layout resulted from the minimum cognitive processing time.
