The purpose of this study is to observe teachers' perceptions of career education for incumbent Chinese general high school teachers.This is because no matter what the curriculum on career education looks like, career education can eventually be conducted in various directions according to the perception of teachers who provide career education. The survey categories to examine teachers' perceptions are largely divided into five categories: experience/current of career education, importance of career education, necessity of career education, difficulty in the implementation process, and method of implementation. Currently, the Chinese government strongly encourages career education, but it lacks the ability of teachers to stockpile expertise in the field.In addition, teachers showed a high awareness of the effectiveness of career education, but they expressed difficulties in recognizing how to develop vocational career skills. This study is meaningful in that it suggested the direction of improving career education through a survey of teachers' perceptions that determine the realization of career education in a situation where career education research itself is very weak for teachers in general high schools in China.

Due to implementation of legislations for translation poor such as handicapped people, elderlies, children most public buildings are now integrating barrier free design methods. However, barrier free design is still considered as constraints of physical elements that only serve to meet functional aspects for minors and conflict with designs of the space. The authors believe that it is time that barrier free design is considered not as constraints but opportunities that both meet functional and aesthetical needs serving the growing population of transportation poor and others as well. This paper has looked into characteristics of transportation poor and barrier free design elements of passenger terminals and developed 4 categories of design methods. applied by using human sense, form, furniture, and architectural elements. Then the authors analyzed Gunsan International and coastal passenger terminal existing conditions which is considered to be designed to meet barrier free guidelines and legislations through the developed design categories and elements. The result turned out that the subject in regard of barrier free designs for transportation poor lack various applications such as forms that can be used as symbolic and directional elements that assists as wayfinding cues. Also, flexible and multi functional approaches in furniture arrangements, structural approaches are needed.

The firms with OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) registration should be audited every six months and they have to be reregistered every three years by a third party. In our article audit data were collected from the audit processes of fifty four firms that OHSAS 18001:2007 was implemented and audited by LRQA (Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance). Fifty four firms are largely classified as four categories: civil engineering and construction industry, metal and heavy industry, chemical industry, and other industries including electric, electronic, food, and services. Especially the minor conformity data are analyzed by statistical methods to find out the relationship between four categories of 54 firms and the average number of minor nonconformities. The most frequently appeared minor nonconformities among sub-requirements of OHSAS 18001:2007 are investigated and the reasons for minor nonconformities are specifically explained. The average number of minor nonconformities of firms before and after OHSAS 18001:2007 registration are compared to understand the maturity of OHSAS implementation. Some comments and suggestions are provided for OHSAS to be effectively implemented to the firms if revision is necessary.

A computer vision based automatic intelligent sorting system for dried oak mushrooms has been developed. The developed system was composed of automatic devices for mushroom feeding and handling, two sets of computer vision system for grading , and computer with digital I/O board for PLC interface, and pneumatic actuators for the system control. Considering the efficiency of grading process and the real time on-line system implementation, grading was done sequentially at two consecutive independent stages using the captured image of either side. At the first stage, four grades of high quality categories were determined from the cap surface images and at the second stage 8 grades of medium and low quality categories were determined from the gill side images. The previously developed neuro-net based mushroom grading algorithm which allowed real time on-line processing was implemented and tested. Developed system revealed successful performance of sorting capability of approximate y 5, 000 mushrooms/hr per each line i.e. average 0.75 sec/mushroom with the grading accuracy of more than 88%.

The semiconductor equipments generate a lot of data traffic via communication channels for the effective manufacturing processes of semiconductors and for the automation of semiconductor equipments. These data should be sent to a host computer in order to keep in a safe. The IEEE 802.11e specification gives differentiated and distributed access to a wireless communication medium with four access categories. These four access categories use different priority parameters which lead to quality of service in data traffic. In this paper, it is shown that the throughput of data depends upon the priority parameters provided by IEEE802.11e. We implement the usage of priority parameters in the SECS protocol for semiconductor equipments. It is necessary that the data from semiconductor equipments should be classified with certain priority for the effective use of our proposed method. Therefore, our scheme will contribute to improving the performance of the manufacturing processes of semiconductors.

Recently there are some trends to construct smart home system infrastructure depending upon the development of Information and Communication Technology. Also requirements of the Ubiquitous Healthcare Systems at home which can monitor the status of health continuously are increased rapidly comparing with hospitals. Healthcare service can be divided into two categories. The first one is Alarm Service that can be used for the emergency status and the other one is Remote Support Service which can monitor the patient including home environments and give those diagnosis information to medical office or to his family. Generally wired networks and fixed healthcare measuring system have some limits to transmit reliable realtime based information for both categories described above comparing with portable monitoring system. Getting over the inefficiency we will design and implement portable healthcare system under the wireless Zigbee network environments.

Purpose: To support implementation of comprehensive, person-centered healthcare, this study aimed to explore immigrant women's public health center (PHC) service experiences and needs while considering Photovoice's feasibility for this purpose. Methods: This qualitative study included 15 marriage-based immigrant women. Participants were recruited from churches and multicultural family support centers using purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through four focus group interviews and were subjected to inductive content analysis. Results: Five categories of experiences were identified: language barriers, hectic environment, affordable and practical primary healthcare, feeling ignored and discriminated against, and feeling frustrated. In addition, five categories of needs were identified: language assistance services, ease of access, healthcare across the lifespan, expansion of affordable healthcare, and being accepted as they are. This study provides preliminary evidence that the Photovoice approach can facilitate the interview process in a qualitative inquiry involving participants with limited ability to express their perspectives in the researchers' language. Conclusion: Study findings highlight the need to implement institutional policy and procedural changes within PHCs and to provide culturally competent, personcentered care for South Korea's marriage-based immigrant women and other ethnic minority populations. The findings also provide evidence-based direction for PHC service planning.

Because efficiency of the 1st-phase NGIS investment(1995-2000) has not been clearly measured, the action taken in the 2nd-phase NGIS project requires NGIS budgets to be evaluated in terms of effectiveness. Especially, the effective investments in local governments are critical for the NGIS projects, because they execute the much larger amount of budgets in total than other GIS projects. As indicated, for the successful NGIS implementation, it is important to obtain continuous political and financial supports from decision makers. As a persuasion measure for the budget appropriation, CBA(Cost-Benefit Analysis) and CEA(Cost-Efficiency Analysis) can play an important role for the decision makers. The major concern of this paper is how to measure the costs and benefits of the GIS implementation by considering important characteristics of the GIS projects in local governments, and existing theories are reviewed for this concern. The GISs in local governments can have different stages in terms of its evolution and the effectiveness of the applications can be represented variously. To identify categories for measuring costs and benefits of the various GISs, case studies and success stories are reviewed from both the foreign and domestic research. The categories of costs and benefits are determined from the tangible and intangible aspects. The categories for the quantitative and qualitative measure are proposed to evaluate the GISs in local governments. After measuring costs and benefits, three key evaluation methods in cost-benefit analysis are suggested as follows: 1) the benefit: cost ratio (B/C), 2) Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and 3) the net present values (NPV) of the costs and benefits. The sensitivity and uncertainty analysis are also helpful to make a decision for the GIS budget appropriation in local governments. In conclusion, although cost-benefit analysis is not an easy undertaking, it is certain that it can play an important role in the future for the GIS funding decisions in local governments.

This study organizes policy tasks currently being promoted by the government to revitalize the domestic VR and AR industries, which are evaluated to be stagnant compared to major overseas countries, and aims to derive priorities through analysis of an AHP survey for experts in the VR/AR field, and to seek countermeasures based on the analysis results. As a result of classification based on various previous studies, press releases, and policy data, it was divided into 5 major categories and 16 sub-categories: technical issues, awareness improvement, legal/institutional improvement, government support, and manpower development. As a result of the AHP analysis, in the major category, the "government support" appeared as the top priority policy task, followed by the "manpower development". In the sub-categories, "training new manpower" was the most important policy implementation task, followed by "enhancing technological competitiveness". This study is meaningful in that it selects and presents prioritized policy tasks that clearly reflect the position and perspective of the industry on the policy-making situation exposed to the limitations of time and resources, while also presenting practical improvement plans.
