This study examines the meaning of medical-text publication in the Joseon Dynasty by applying anthropological notions of "health care system" and "popular health care sector" to the social and political contexts of the pre-modern state. The present study focuses on the social network of senders and receivers in which medical knowledge is communicated and shared. Exploring the multi-layered structure of the network among the state, the author-practitioners, and populace, this study argues that the network of knowledge sharing system by publication of medical texts itself is a core structure in the health care system of the Joseon Dynasty. This pre-modern health care system aimed to vitalize and reinforce the "popular health care sector" by sharing medical knowledge with populace through the book-publication system. Foucault's notion of "biopolitics" provides a comparative window between the modern health care system and the health care system of the Joseon period, articulating the particularity of the pre-modern health care system.

This paper is investigated conception and methodology of data selection, cleaning, integration, transformation, reduction, selection and application of data mining techniques, and model evaluation during procedure of the knowledge discovery in database (KDD) based on Mathematics. Statistical role and methodology in KDD is studied as branch of Mathematics. Also, we investigate the history, mathematical background, important modeling techniques using statistics and information, practical applied field and entire examples of data mining. Also we study the differences between data mining and statistics.

The article makes a discussion to conceptualize a histo-genetic principle in the real historical view point. The classical histo-genetic principle appeared in 19th century was founded by the recapitulation law suggested by biologist Haeckel, but recently it was shown that the theory on it is no longer true. To establish the alternative rationale, several metaphoric characterizations from the history of mathematics are suggested: among them, problem solving, transition of conceptual knowledge to procedural knowledge, generalization, abstraction, circulation from phenomenon to substance, encapsulation to algebraic representation, change of epistemological view, formation of algorithm, conjecture-proof-refutation, swing between theory and application, and so on.

In this paper, we suggest an information retrieval visualization tool using the knowledge representation method. Information retrieval visualization tool suggested in this paper is designed to automatically extract retrieval intention using user's search history data and visualize extracted retrieval intention in the knowledge representation method structure. A psychological knowledge representation methodology was adopted for schema for retrieval intention representation and its effectiveness has been proved through the behavioral experiments. Result of experiment revealed that information retrieval visualization tool has been improved approximately 39% in user satisfaction compared to existing retrieval method, suggesting a measure to solve re-retrieval problem in the process of information retrieval.

This study investigated three pre-service teachers' mathematical problem solving among hand-in-write-ups and final projects for each subject. All participants' activities and computer explorations were observed and video taped. If it was possible, an open-ended individual interview was performed before, during, and after each exploration. The method of data collection was observation, interviewing, field notes, students' written assignments, computer works, and audio and videotapes of pre- service teachers' mathematical problem solving activities. At the beginning of the mathematical problem solving activities, all participants did not have strong procedural and conceptual knowledge of the graph, making a model by using data, and general concept of a sine function, but they built strong procedural and conceptual knowledge and connected them appropriately through mathematical problem solving activities by using the computer technology.

Objectives: "Exploring the origin of acupuncture medicine (針灸逢源)", a classical title of acupuncture medicine in the 19th century, has been reviewed with focus on its impact on the standardization of acupoint in the history of acupuncture medicine as an approach of yin-yang balancing medicine like the Temporomandibular joint Balancing Medicine. Methods: A narrative review of literature was performed with a focus on continuous development and revision of the knowledge system of acupuncture medicine in medical education and clinical application. Results: This title has provided a systematized knowledge on acupoint-acupuncutre including 361 acupoints, acupoint location, and acupoint-meridian association, which was adopted as a frame of core knowledge in modern acupuncture medicine. Critical review and rational reasoning on previously accepted but apparently incongruous strips of knowledge led to the accomplishment of this title. Conclusions: This title provided a revised and standard knowledge system in the field of medical education and clinical practice of acupuncture medicine, and also provided an exemplary model of unrelenting change and development of an approach based on the concept of yin-yang balance such as acupuncture medicine and the Temporomandibular joint Balancing Medicine.

"KoKeumDoSeoJipSeong" EuiBoo that is commonly known as 'EuiBooJeonRok' is a part of "HeumJeongKoKeumDoSeoJipSeong" which was published under Qing empire support and it has a significance in gathering all the results of eastern medicine until 18th century. It contained the best knowledge of the time and considered as the most precious book for two hundred years, but nowadays it is looked away in its value and use. We could prescribe the historical significance this classic medical book has and furthermore, embody the basic knowledge necessary for constructing database by studing compilation and editions. This is the significance the classic "DoSeoJipSeong" has and the significance of the digital EuiBooJipSeong which will be newly shown as a digital knowledge information system.

The present study examined subject classification and the characteristics of old Oriental medicine literature focused on Web services of Oriental medicine knowledge and information resources. For this, we reviewed how subject classification is applied to Oriental medicine in the codified literature classification table and, based on the results, examined how the classification system is used in libraries. Second, subject classification and the characteristics of old Oriental medicine literature were studied focused on Web services of Oriental medicine knowledge and information resources, and related problems and solutions were suggested.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest diagnosis support system for diseases of mind so that users can make effective decisions without professional knowledge by developing efficient knowledge system and utilizing ontology with which questions and logic inference are possible to diagnose diseases of mind. Furthermore, this diagnosis support system could be applied to supplement previous diagnosis method which depends on experiences by activating the diagnose of mind diseases thru ontology and determining state of mind effectively without technical knowledge. As a result of this experiment, diagnosis support system for diseases of mind was found to be accordance with the result of consulting instructions and show additional relevance thru utility extension.

There is enthusiasm among many mathematics educators to seek to understand how history of mathematics can be employed to emphasize the usefulness of mathematics and to make it even more useful. We investigate theoretical backgrounds of using history of mathematics for secondary students and prospective mathematics teachers. On the basis of historico-genetic principle and mathematics teachers' professional knowledge, we go into curriculum of prospective mathematics teachers. This study focussed on developing pedagogical approach using history of mathematics for prospective mathematics teachers.
