Despite their wide application of some traditional project management techniques like the Program Evaluation and Review Technique, they lack of learning, one of important factors in many disciplines today, due to a static view for project progression. This study proposes a framework for estimation by loaming based on a Linear Bayesian approach. As a project Progresses, we sequentially observe the durations of completed activities. By reflecting this newly available information to update the distribution of remaining activity durations and thus project duration, we can implement a decision support system that updates e.g., the expected project completion time as well as the probabilities of completing the project within the due bate and by a certain date. By implementing such customized system, project manager can be aware of changing project status more effectively and better revise resource allocation plans.

The effects of common variants of CYP1A2 gene (CYP1A2$^*$1C and CYP1A2$^*$1F) on the CYP1A2 activity and inducibility were controversial. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of CYP1A2$^*$1C and CYP1A2$^*$1F on the activity of CYP1A2 determined by urinary caffeine metabolite ratio in Koreans. As might be expected, there was large inter-individual variation (16-folds) of CYP1A2 activity ranged from 2.41 to 39.58. The mean CYP1A2 activity of smokers was significantly higher than that of non-smokers. The frequencies of CYP1A2$^*$1C (-3858A) and $^*$1F (-164A) alleles were 0.219 and 0.646, respectively. The effect of CYP1A2$^*$1C on the CYP1A2 activity was not significant. However, the CYP1A2 activity of subjects with AA genotype for CYP1A2$^*$1F allele was significantly lower than that of non-AA genotypes (CC, or CA). Interestingly, the significant effect of CYP1A2$^*$1F allele on CYP1A2 activity was not observed in nonsmokers. Our results suggest that CYP1A2$^*$1F allele rather than CYP1A2$^*$1C allele significantly influences on the inducibility of CYP1A2 in Koreans. Owing to small sample size of our study, further studies should be conducted to reveal the inter-ethnic difference or the gene-environmental interaction.

The purpose of this study were to identify the effect of thesis-writing activity based project method on the ability of girl's middle school student's self directed learning(SDL) and learning attitude. To achieve above study purpose, the subject of this study were selected 60 from second-grade students of reading club(thesis-writing activities participants 30, non-participants 30), applied a program based project method to experimental group, to carry out a pre-post examined targeting two-group with early making a SDL ability and learning attitude inventory, and the results of the data were analyzed by t-test using the SPSS(Ver. 18). The results were as follows: In the aspect of SDL ability development by thesis-writing activity, the student participant showed somewhat significant differences compared to the non-participants. First, a openess, inner-motivation, autonomy, self-conception of SDL ability was significantly higher than those non-participants. Second, confidence, success expert, attention, effectiveness, affection of learning attitude was significantly higher than those non-participants. These results represent that various programs, which can develop SDL ability and learning attitude, can be provided for youth when they join any thesis-writing activity based project method in general and those programs are also very effective in developing SDL ability and learning attitude of juveniles. Furthermore, It is suggested that thesis-writing activity based project method are a necessary element at the school education fields.

In the present study, we investigated activity change of sphingomyelin anabolic enzymes such as sphingomyelin synthase and ceramide synthase. Sprague-Dawley male rats treated with 10 mg/kg of DMN intraperitoneally were used as a hepatic fibrosis model. Sphingomyelin synthase and ceramide synthase activities were measured in 1-week, 2-week, 3-week and 4-week DMN-treated rats along with respective control group rats. We found the increased sphingomyelin synthase activity in 4-week DMN-treated liver but not in kidney. Ceramide synthase activity was significantly increased in DMN-treated kidney after 2-week treatment and in DMN-treated liver after 3-week treatment. Although further investigation is necessary to elucidate meanings of sphingolipid metabolites during the liver fibrosis, activity change of sphingolipid anabolic enzymes may imply that sphingolipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolites could be involved in liver fibrosis especially under oxidative stress.

This article reviews the current issues of engineering education: engineering creativity, R&D 3.0 and Education 3.0 and comfirms need of refining quality of engineering education through learner-centered hybrid project learning. this article suggests the Global engineering project(GEP) program as an ideal hybrid project learning model that develop student's creativity and convergence capability. GEP program is learnner-centered interdisciplinary program that whole processes are managed by interdisciplinary students team aiming to global engineers who are globally competent and locally relevant so that they can function effectively in any country by local activity in developing country. The program consist of four main parts: 1)pre activity, 2)local activity from abroad, 3)design and producing prototype and 4)participating in the design contest or academic conference with the products. As a result, students' global competence, teamwork skill and capability of creative problem solving are remarkably improved.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of linguistic activity on young children's Creativity by applying an linguistic activity, one of the major realm of Project Spectrum, to experimental group. The following research task was established for this study. What effect does the linguistic activity through Project Spectrum on children's Creativity? The participants of this study were 80 of 5-year-old young children in two groups. They were divided and assigned into two groups, an experimental group(26 boys and 14 girls) and a control group(22 boys and 18 girls). While the experimental group was engaged in the Project Spectrums linguistic activities for 15 weeks, the control group was engaged in kindergarten curriculum linguistic activities. It was revealed that Creativity through Project Spectrum of experimental group had much influence on children's linguistic ability than control group in every field (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) by developing and applying detailed criteria for Creativity for this study.

Increasingly, risk analysis is becoming important ingredients in achieving the successful implementation and application in the area of the project management. The project management system is designed to manage or control the project resources on a given activity within time, cost and performance so called TPPM (Total Productive Project Management). In this research, a risk analysis model misproposed to identify potential problem areas, quantify the risks, and generated the chice of the action that can be taken to reduce the risk. In addition two analysis models are proposed : 1) risk factor model and 2) network simulation model using VERT (Venture Evaluation and Review Technique ). The objective of the remodels is to estimate the schedule, cost performance risks. These proposed quantitative models for project risk analysis are proving its value for the project managers who need to assess the risk of changes in cost, schedule, or performance. The proposed models will be used in the area of project selection, evaluation and the allocation of project resources.

Preconstruction process in a lean project delivery system was studied in one large healthcare project working for a general contractor. Researchers joined a new lean delivery project for approximately six weeks and participated in preconstruction process including design coordination, management coordination, and target costing while concurrently interviewing other project participants and employees, recording activity in meetings, and otherwise observing the process. The preconstruction process in lean project delivery system, called integrated project design, showed many benefits such as brining expertise of downstream players (i.e., mechanical and electrical contractors) into the design phase. However, lack of leadership and lack of design-integrator blocked the successful application of a new concept of design process.

Our society has changed from an industrial society to a knowledge - based society, and the need for new knowledge creation activities through the convergence of various knowledge is emphasized. In accordance with these changes, universities aiming at nurturing human resources for society have sought new approaches and changes. The discussion of various curriculum for the future talent training in the university is aimed at the goal of developing problem solving ability irrespective of the subject of education or major. In this study, we tried to show that computational thinking ability can be improved by strengthening creative team activities by combining design thinking method in computer curriculum of general education course of university. To do this, we conducted a design thinking team project for students of computer general education course at G university in Gyeongnam province and conducted a survey. The results of the questionnaire were verified by statistical methods. The variables of this study satisfied both the validity and the reliability. Multiple regression analysis showed that knowledge sharing, team activity satisfaction, and design thinking project satisfaction factors all affect computing thinking ability.
