This study investigates maker pedagogy as learning method with graduate students. The exemplary maker pedagogy instructional model in this study is intended to enhance student's research competence. This study examines how the teacher designs and implements maker pedagogy instructional model, and what students have experienced in conduction research project. students provide evidence that they have improved their competence to raise research questions, to make use of research methodology. Their learning experience depends on whether they are heterogeneously grouped or homogeneously grouped in terms of intellectual ability, research experience, etc. Additionally, students suggest that the teacher needs to administrate the learning process regularly, to build up an interdisciplinary network to provide students knowledge and methodologies needed for conducting research, and to create learning environment where each student is possibly enriched with individual accountability and responsibility on each own learning process. In conclusion, this study provides several suggestions for more valuable maker pedagogy instructional models in graduate class.

Research methodology on Traditional Medicine in East Asia refers to logical thinking system, empirical positivism system and methodology of developing these knowledge systems. Logical thinking system of abstract concepts such as analogy or abduction and positivism system of reasonable explanation such as the five elements and their characteristic theory have been used in various ways empirically or in the form of humanities and knowledge system was developed through parallel structure of empirical positivism and exegetical studies. After the 16th century, evidence was required along with the tradition of putting emphasis on rationality, logicality and empirical positivism and characteristics of medical humanities can be found in emphasizing on medical ethics. Data that can be considered as structural review paper or meta analysis from original data of research on Traditional East Asian Medicine should be evaluated as historical evidence which is equivalent to specialist opinion, descriptive disease research, single case report or case series. Historical evidence based medicine is a research method using Historical evidence to selectively support data that are faithful to traditional theory with higher possibility to be used in future traditional east Asian medicine that links between traditional knowledge and scientific research methodology. Moreover, historical evidence based medicine tries to re-evaluate the value of traditional knowledge and ultimately, guides the direction of development of traditional medicine through scientific rationality based on history and culture.

As a means to address the modes of developing institutional evaluation system aimed at improving performances of GRIs, this study looked into the influential relations where institutional evaluation system has an impact on receptivity of evaluation outcomes and performances of institutes optimize their performances. After making analysis, it was confirmed that the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences' institutional evaluation system for GRIs had a positive (+) influence on performances of research institutes, and receptivity of evaluation outcomes is related to performances of research institutes. In addition, it was also confirmed that institutes with high performances, in general, have high level of receptivity of evaluation outcomes along with positive recognition of institutional evaluation system. However, weaknesses of the Council's institutional evaluation system for GRIs resulted in low level of receptivity amongst GRIs, and thus there is limitation on the government and the Council in the active utilization of evaluation outcomes. Finally, it addressed the limitations and areas for improvement in relation to research outcomes.

This research paper delved into the availability and utilization of library portal services for research in university libraries in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The study was carried out in Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) and Felix Aghagbo Nwako Library, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Library (UNIZIK), Awka. A total of 70 professionals (librarians and system analysts) in these libraries supplied data for the study. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. These were used to answer the research questions while the null hypotheses were tested using t-test statistic at 0.05 level of significance and 68 degree of freedom. Major findings showed that portal services available in the library showed that the areas of availability of library portal services in Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, U.N.N. includes Agriculture, Health Sciences, Engineering, Environmental Sciences and information about institution, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Natural Sciences. In Festus Aghagbo Nwako Library, Awka, the areas of Portal Library Services include Career Development, Federal Government Programs, Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Engineering, and Health Sciences. Findings on extent of utilization of portal services available in the libraries indicated that portal services are utilized to a low extent in the university libraries. Furthermore, librarians did not significantly differ in their opinions on the availability of library portal services and on the extent of utilization of library portal services in the libraries under study. It is therefore recommended that provisions should be made by the universities and library management to provide and update required portal services in addition to creating enabling environment for enhanced access and utilization of these services. The governments must make an effort to provide funds for policy implementation, necessary technology training for librarians and users, and develop general information infrastructure.

This research aimed at investigating policy change process of after school contracting out and suggesting future alternative. Also, this research conducted a literature search for the research data related to policy and related regulations. As the result of investigation, the Ministry of Education established management plan for after school, however there have been changes in policy, e.g. contracting out was executed from 2004 to 2008 upon autonomy of unit school through school steering committee deliberation(consultation), while standardized procedure was conducted, which was suggested in 'After school operation guideline', produced in cooperation between the Ministry of Education and municipal ministry of education from 2008 to 2015, while since 2016, contract law should be applied when after school contracting out is adopted. Policy change since 2016 is based on the legal necessity that contract law should be followed as the contract size of after school contracting out has become larger along with necessity of clarity of after school contracting out. Nevertheless, there's a worry that quality of after school education could be degraded due to lowest price bidding. The government suggested an alternative to prevent excessive price competition by paying a regular rate of basic price as personnel expenses, however this research suggested a plan to enact an ordinance in regard of specialty of after school educational activities and cities and provinces as the fundamental solution plan.

This study aims to suggest a new evaluating system for academic books in the field of humanities and social sciences in Korea. The data comprised the evaluating systems for researchers' academic achievements at 27 Korean and overseas universities, and questionnaire from researchers. The findings showed that academic books were rated higher twice than articles in Korean universities with various criteria. Universities in the US had no standardized systems, but publishers evaluated academic books. The UK and France had authorized organizations, REF and HCERHE, to evaluate researchers' products, whereas, in Japan, departments evaluated them without fixed systems. About 84% of Korean researchers preferred external evaluation on academic books. It is proposed to establish associations' evaluation, 'more than 200 pages and ISBN', and qualitative approach. 200-600 points can be given on books in the correlation of universities, associations, and Korea Research Foundation.

The Purpose of the study is to give Korean-English leaners better knowledge on vowel sounds in their learning English. The traditional description of the cardinal vowel system developed by Daniel Johns in 1917 is not enough to provide English learners with clear ideas in producing native like vowel sounds. For the reason, three Korean-native subjects, one male, one female and one child are chosen to produce 7 cardinal vowels and compare them with native English and American speaker's vowel sounds. The difference of produced vowels sounds is quantified and visualized by employing Sona-match program. The results have been fairly remarkable. Firstly, Korean-English learner's vowel sounds are articulated differently from their intention of vowel production. Secondly, the tongue positions of Koreans are placed slightly more down and forward to the lips than those of English and Americans. However, the front vowel /i/ sound is quite close to English and Americans. Lastly the mid-vowel /${\partial}$/ sound is not produced in any articulations of Korean-native speakers. It is thought that the mid vowel, /${\partial}$/ is a type of a weak sound regarded as 'schwa' which needs a great deal of exposure to the language to acquire a physical skill of articulation.

Due to the variety of tourist attractions, many people of the world are visiting annually in Mediterranean area. In this paper, we analyze Mediterranean tourism impact by specific events such as the Arab Spring. In details, we make several density maps based on the position and time information of the geo-tagged photos extracted from Panoramio which is a representative photo sharing website. These density maps should be used to analyze how can specific events affect on Mediterranean tourism. To do this, first, a spatial database is constructed using geo-tag and time information of photo data extracted from Panoramio. Using GIS tool, then, several density maps are produced after performing density process based on spatial databases. Based on these density maps, finally, we analyze visually on Mediterranean tourism impact according to before, progress, and after of the Arab Spring.

In the training field where literature is used as a tool, some excerpts from its text are used, instead of its full text. Therefore, it is necessary to have empirical guidelines for which part of the text should be used as Memory-Hint, a part that reminds its reader of certain memory, and for how the text can be introduced effectively. For the study, Hesse's whole life and his literary characters were examined from a therapeutic perspective. First, while Hesse's life was reviewed and his characters were analyzed, Hesse was recognized for Self-therapeutic Life. He also lived a life of multimedia in which he practiced writing, painting, playing musical instruments, meditation, walking, etc. Second, Contents of Literature Therapy using Hesse's works were applied to the schizophrenic patients. Media used for the clinical study were mostly extracted from Hesse's works. They began to show interest in others and express their empathy on others, in addition to expressing their sentimental empathy on Hesse's texts. How effectively Hesse utilized multimedia during his lifetime will be good literary resources in helping improving modern-day people's mental health and curing their pathological problems.
