Detection of arcing high impedance faults has been a perplexing in the power distribution protection. Transient analysis of distribution disturbances for fault discrimination from other normal events is important for a secure protection of the power system. A simple parameter of wave form distortion quantification is used to analyze the behaviors of arcing faults and normal distribution disturbances. Theoretical perspectives of the transients were studied and actual disturbances were examined. From this investigation, a discrimination guideline based on the revised crest factor is developed. The discrimination method has a high potential to enhance the reliability and security for the distribution system protection.

Background: Supporting the elderly population is presented as a social issue, and it affects age discrimination, which forms a negative perception and avoids the elderly. Since age discrimination lowers the quality of life of the elderly and hinders social unity, it may be important to research related factors. This study examined the physical function as a factor that influences discrimination experiences and aimed to identify the relationship between physical function factors and discrimination experiences. Methods: In this study, we analyzed 20,225 elderly from the 2014 and 2017 survey of living conditions and welfare needs of Korean older persons, conducted nationwide among older than 65 years. Physical function factors are activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, sight discomfort, hearing discomfort, chewing discomfort, and leg strength as factors of interest. We performed multivariable logistic regression that reflected survey characteristics, adjusting for socio-demographic factors, health related factors, and social-support factors. Results: The number of elderly who faced discrimination experiences was 1,175 (5.8%). The results showed that the odds ratio of facing a discrimination experience in the dependent group was significantly higher compared to the independent group when being transferring out of the room (4.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50-10.88) and difficulty in hearing (1.25; 95% CI, 1.05-1.49). Even with respect to chewing ability, which was significant in models 1 and 2, they face more discrimination experiences (1.30; 95% CI, 1.11-1.53). Conclusion: These research results indicate that an important strategy for preventing age discrimination is to understand the physical function conditions of the elderly and promote the physical functions of the elderly related to transferring, hearing, and chewing; it is necessary to develop a practical intervention plan that considers these aspects.

Objectives: This study examined the relationship between discrimination perception and occupational stress of school nurses to verify the mediating effects of self-esteem on the relationship between the perception of discrimination and occupational stress. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of the data collected by the Public Health Nurses Association of D city from regular school nurses working in elementary, middle, and high schools in September 2017. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 Statistics Program, and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of self-esteem on the relationship between the perception of discrimination and occupational stress. Results: The occupational stress of school nurses was higher with higher discrimination and lower self-esteem, and the moderating effects of self-esteem (β=-.152, p=.016) was confirmed between the perception of discrimination and occupational stress (F=30.117, p<.001). Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to prepare a method for managing occupational stress due to job demands of school nurses as well as organizational measures to reduce discrimination in organizations. In addition, efforts to develop various programs focusing on improving the self-esteem of school nurses are required.

Discrimination between speech and music is important in many multimedia applications. In our previous work, focusing on the spectral change characteristics of speech and music, we presented a method using the mean of minimum cepstral distances (MMCD), and it showed a very high discrimination performance. In this paper, to further improve the performance, we propose to employ time-averaged MFCC in computing the MMCD. Our experimental results show that the proposed method enhances the discrimination between speech and music. Moreover, the proposed method overcomes the weakness of the conventional MMCD method whose performance is relatively sensitive to the choice of the frame interval to compute the MMCD.

Auditory discrimination which represents a very basic and important perceptual skill in children is a necessary condition for effective learning. It is necessary, therefore, to devise a standardized test tool for a reliable assessment of the auditory discrimination ability of children. The Korean Auditory Discrimination Test(KADT) is a tentative test tool that the authors have devised to meet such demand, i.e., to test the auditory discrimination ability of Korean children, both normal and hearing- and speech-impaired, between the ages of 4 and 8. The KADT consists of 40 pairs of words arranged in a systematic manner, of which thirty are 'minimal pairs' of words and the rest homophonous synonyms. The 30 minimal pairs are composed in such a way that major phonological contrasts involving consonants and vowels at initial, medial and final positions are duly represented. The test score will be determined by the number of right responses made by the children. Further attempts will be made to refine and improve KADT in future.

The target of this study is development of web based mold discrimination system by matching vision information with CAD database. The use of 2D vision image makes possible speedy mold discrimination from many databases. The image processing such as preprocessing, cleaning is done for obtaining vivid image with object information. The web-based system is a program which runs to exchange messages between a server and a client by making of ActiveX control and the result of mold discrimination is shown on web-browser. For effective feature classification and extraction, signature method is used to make sensible information from 2D data. As a result, the possibility of proposed system is shown as matching feature information from vision image with CAD database samples.

Spectroscopic analysis of soybean kernels were made in the wavelength range of 400 to 1100 nm to find effective discrimination factors which are required for developing an opitical soybean sorter. Soybean samples used for the test were the sound and five classes of the defective kernels such as the immature, discolored(brown and violet), damaged by insect and diseased. Effective discrimination factors to classify the soybean kernels into the sound and the defective were found to be $R_{640}$, $R_{580}$/ $R_{990}$, $R_{600}$- $R_{820}$ and ( $R_{590}$- $R_{820}$)/ $R_{990}$. with classification error of less than 4%. Mahalanobis distance was used as a criterion to select significant wavelengths involved in the discrimination factors.s.

지방 출신은 서울/경기 출신에 비해 임금이 낮다. 이 차이가 기호적 차별에 기인하는지 또는 통계적 차별에 기인하는지를 판별하기 위해 임금격차에 대한 계량경제학적 모형을 제시했으며 그것을 이용하여 검정하였다. 이에 따르면 출신지역간 임금격차가 온전히 기호적 차별에 기인한다는 가설은 한계적으로 기각되었다. 즉 이 격차의 일부는 통계적 차별에 기인한다. 본고의 통계적 차별은 임금이 생산성에 따라 결정되는 과정에서 나오는 것으로 문제가 되지 않으므로 정부가 개입할 필요가 없다.

Purposes: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between discrimination experience and quality of life among non-regular workers in hospitals. Methodology: The data was collected from 292 employees of 7 university hospitals using a standardized questionnaire. In research methodology, the data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, pearson's correlation, multiple regression analysis. Findings: In case of non-regular workers, inequality of distribution, position unfairness, employment instability, number of discrimination experiences were found to have a negative(-) effect on quality of life. Religion, income in general characteristics had a significant positive(+) effect on quality of life. And the discrimination of non-regular woman workers was higher and the quality of life was lower than that of men. Practical Implications: These results showed that hospitals needed active efforts to create non-regular woman-friendly work environment. In addition, active religious activities gave emotional stability and positive effect to no-regular workers.
