Objective : Recent government policy for encouraging increased birth rate and its historical background were reviewed from the standpoint of a midwife. Suggestions were made for an effective policy to encourage more births. Possible roles of midwives regarding this new policy were also discussed. Methods : Literature reviews and internet research Results : Korea has been very successful in implementing its population control policy since the 1960s. It now considers a policy to encourage increased births due to falling birth rates. There are two opposite sides on this policy. One is positive and the other is negative opinion. The health of women and children should be given top priority in any policy -making or decisions, so that the quality of their lives can be improved. Midwives can be active members in the establishment and implementation of such policies. Conclusion : This policy to increase birth rates can be a good opportunity for midwives to publicize the fact that normal deliveries can be handled economically, efficiently, and safely by them. This will attract more women to employ midwives and use their clinics. If midwifery clinics in the form of a corporation or a consortium with other health care professionals can be established, they could be developed as One-Stop Women's Health Care Centers, where health needs of, not only pregnant women, but all women over the course of their lifetimes can be satisfied.

In all Mathematics I Textbooks(Kim, S. H., 2010; Kim, H. K., 2010; Yang, S. K., 2010; Woo, M. H., 2010; Woo, J. H., 2010; You, H. C., 2010; Youn, J. H., 2010; Lee, K. S., 2010; Lee, D. W., 2010; Lee, M. K., 2010; Lee, J. Y., 2010; Jung, S. K., 2010; Choi, Y. J., 2010; Huang, S. K., 2010; Huang, S. W., 2010) in high schools in Korea these days, it is written and taught that for a positive real number $a$, $a^{\frac{m}{n}}$ is defined as $a^{\frac{m}{n}}={^n}\sqrt{a^m}$, where $m{\in}\mathbb{Z}$ and $n{\in}\mathbb{N}$ have common prime factors. For that situation, the author shows his opinion that the definition is not well-defined and $a^{\frac{m}{n}}$ must be defined as $a^{\frac{m}{n}}=({^n}\sqrt{a})^m$, whenever $^n\sqrt{a}$ is defined, based on the field axiom of the real number system including rational number system and natural number system. And he shows that the following laws of exponents for reals: $$\{a^{r+s}=a^r{\cdot}a^s\\(a^r)^s=a^{rs}\\(ab)^r=a^rb^r$$ for $a$, $b$>0 and $s{\in}\mathbb{R}$ hold by the completeness axiom of the real number system and the laws of exponents for natural numbers, integers, rational numbers and real numbers are logically equivalent.

As consumers have transformed into the influential entities in the recent consumption environment, it needs a new concept to describe their characteristics. Drawn on the notion of smart consumer experience, this study views the multiple traits of new consumers as consumer smartness. Therefore, elaborating the concept of consumer smartness, this study aims to develop its measurement and validate it by examining the relationship with external variables. Two online surveys were conducted by a professional survey company that had nationwide consumer panels. A total of 531 adult consumers who had purchased fashion goods online completed a self-administered questionnaires. A series of exploratory and confirmative factor analysis generated 21 measuring items with six underlying constructs of consumer smartness such as innovativeness, opinion leadership, self-disclosure, marketing literacy, dissatisfaction, and technology sophistication. In order to validate the measurement, this study conducted a Pearson's correlation test and structural equation modeling analysis with consumer smartness and external constructs. The result shows that there was a significant positive relationship between consumer smartness and behavioral intentions online. In addition, consumer smartness influenced their shopping and sharing intention which supported the validity of new measurement of consumer smartness. This study provides a theoretical and empirical ground of understanding consumer smartness as new consumer characteristics in the changing environment of fashion retailing.

Sentiment classification is a recent subdiscipline of text classification, which is concerned not with the topic but with opinion. In this paper, we present a Korean sentence and document classification system using effective sentiment features. Korean sentiment classification starts from constructing effective sentiment feature sets for positive and negative. The synonym information of a English word thesaurus is used to extract effective sentiment features and then the extracted English sentiment features are translated in Korean features by English-Korean dictionary. A sentence or a document is represented by using the extracted sentiment features and is classified and evaluated by SVM(Support Vector Machine).

The ideas and quasi-ideas useful for human's creation were drawn out from documents and webpages with extraction methods used in idea mining, opinion mining, and topic signal mining. The extraction methods comprised (1) decisive cue phrases, (2) cue figures and sounds, (3) contextual signals, and (4) discourse segmentations, They tested on the idea samples, such as thoughts, plans, opinions, writings, figures, sounds, and formulas. Methods (1), (3), and (4) received largely positive evaluation, judging the efficiency of 4 methods by F measure, a mixture of recall and precision ratio. In particular, decisive cue phrase method was effective to search idea and contextual signal method was effective to detect quasi-idea.
