  • The Population III (Pop III) stars are thought to be massive. If massive Pop III stars form binary system and they experience mass transfer via the Roche lobe overflow, this may significantly change the properties of the system. For example, mass transfer in such system may shorten the period of the system, forming short period binary black hole (BBH) system, which is the most promising candidate for recently detected gravitational wave radiation sources. Also, there is an expectation that due to the stripped envelope of donor star by mass transfer, this system can play a significant role in the cosmic reionization by emitting more UV photons. However, this outcome highly depends on the initial properties of the system. We perform grid calculation on Pop III binary models with various initial primary masses (20 ~ 100 solar mass), initial separations, and initial mass ratios (q = 0.5 ~ 0.9). We find that 1) in most cases binary models show no increase in the number of ionizing photons and 2) formation of short period BBH system via mass transfer is highly unlikely.

  • This study identified the appropriateness of acceptance models of smart clothing and differences in the hypothesis of the path to clothing acceptance by classifying consumers depending on the level of technology innovation and fashion innovation through the extended TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) presented by Chae (2009). 815 copies of data were collected from adults over twenty living in major South Korean cities and analyzed them using a SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 5.0 package. Based on the average value of technology innovation and fashion innovation, the respondents were classified into: Group 1 with high technology innovation and fashion innovation, Group 2 with high technology innovation but low fashion innovation, Group 3 with low technology innovation but high fashion innovation, and Group 4 with low technology innovation and fashion innovation. The appropriateness of models for the four classified groups was verified. The analysis proved that an extended TAM for each classified group explains the acceptance process of smart clothing; especially the appropriateness of model of Group 1 and Group 4 was comparatively higher than other groups. Perceived usefulness was revealed as the key variable that affects consumer attitudes to accept smart clothing. Perceived ease of use has indirect positive effects on consumer attitudes passing through perceived usefulness and clothing involvement partly exerted impacts on consumer attitudes and the intention of acceptance. The mediating role of attitudes to explain the intention of the acceptance of smart clothing is high and suggests that it is necessary to take a positive role to help the consumer perceive the functional and useful aspects of the clothing.

  • Hypertext raises question to general assumptions about our conventional conceptions of education. In this essay, three kinds of learning-models are presented by the application of "writing" hypertext literature to the English education of the elementary school. These models, which I call the "scene-centered" system, give knowledge to learners in non-linear, non-sequential structure. The term "scene" is a single concept or idea composed of a single sub-text, which is to be made by the group of students. This system is focused on the collaborative composition of students. Students, by generating sub-texts and connecting texts, perform the educational activities to expand the source text. The "scene-centered" system is, to put it into a Barte's term, a "writerly text." But in order to "write," "reading" should be accompanied. So, this system is a learning model in which writing and reading are carried on simultaneously. In all the process, students play a role of multi-user, with three access rights: read, write, and annotate. So, students making use of hypertext systems will act as reader-authors. And teachers will take the new role in collaborative writing environment. No longer the central authoritarian evaluator, they will become consultants, co-writers, coaches of their students.

  • We previously have reported that periglomerular calponin expression of the glomerulosclerotic glomeruli in the chronic nephropathy. To investigate the role of calponin during glomerulosclerosis, we examined the detailed localization pattern of calponin in chronic nephropathy rat model using serial morphometric analysis. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used, and chronic nephropathy models were established at 8 and 12 weeks after single intraperitoneal injection of adriamycin (10 mg/kg body weight; n=5). In nephropathy models, 16.3% (8 weeks) and 23.4% (12 weeks) glomeruli showed calponin-positivity at glomerular area. In all these glomeruli, showing various sclerotic changes, calponin-immunoreactivities were present only both the glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs) and periglomerular myofibroblasts (PMFs). However, in the glomeruli with weak calponin-positive, immunoreactivity was mostly detected in PECs, suggesting that calponin may be expressed in PECs earlier than in PMFs in the glomerulosclerotic change. Some calponin-positive PECs invaded glomerular tuft with loop-shaped projection, and around this projection, nestin expression of glomerular tuft were much reduced. These results suggested that calponin-positive PECs may play a key role in the development of glomerulosclerosis, and direct contact with PECs and glomerular tuft may be more important to degenerative changes of glomeruli.

  • This research empirically analyzed whether the foods which came from a non-Muslim majority country, such as South Korea, could play an important role in affecting the consumer intention in a predominantly Muslim country. Online survey methods were used to investigate the proposed hypothesis. 318 responses were used for further analysis. Forty-six reflective constructs were adapted from literature and designed by using a five-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. Estimation models and structural models were examined through SEM-PLS analysis techniques using SmartPLS 3.0 application as the data processing tool. The results showed that religiosity and halal awareness had a positive and significant effect on attitude toward halal labels, including the mediating effect from consumer attitudes towards halal labels which had a positive but insignificant effect on purchase intention. Halal awareness plays an important role for Muslims in the decision-making process for purchasing food. In contrast to the initial hypothesis, the country of origin actually did not have a positive effect on attitudes towards the halal label. In a Muslim-majority country like Indonesia, findings halal food is not difficult, so this research basically is a reminder to marketers to follow those halal principles in implementing their marketing strategies.

  • Spurred by the ongoing globalization, an increase in mobility has diversified migrant categories and strengthened intercultural rapport. Alongside the "traditional" migrants, "White" (Caucasian) individuals are coming into greater focus of migration studies as "lifestyle migrants". Although White migrations are not a new phenomenon, the deep-seated idea of White supremacy continues to play an important role in contemporary intercultural communication, awarding Whites across communities a "cosmopolitan" status of highly educated cultural elites. As such, the focus of this research is on highly skilled White European migrants, on their subjective experiences of integration in Japan, and whether they perceive Whiteness as an obstacle or an advantage in this process, if integration is desired at all. To discern the connection between race and integration, this research investigates the non-White majority society of Japan as it has established racial hierarchies according to the Western models, consequently influencing the status of its contemporary White immigrants. Privileged, yet singled out as racial and cultural role models, White Europeans' integration seemingly becomes nearly impossible. The data obtained in fifteen semi-structured interviews confirms that Whiteness grants advantages when entering the Japanese job market, but remains an obstacle in everyday community integration. European professionals do not feel accepted and abandon efforts to integrate, if such were made, retreating into "cosmopolitan islets" wherein they renegotiate their White European identities.

  • 역학 연구에 따르면 임신 중 산모의 감염, 산모의 스트레스, 환경적 위험 요인이 태아의 인지 장애와 관련된 뇌 발달 이상 위험을 증가시키고 정신분열증 및 자폐 스펙트럼 장애에 대한 감수성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 여러 동물 모델은 모체 면역 활성화(MIA)가 태아와 자손의 비정상적인 뇌 발달 및 행동 결함을 유발하기에 충분하다는 것이 입증되었다. 모체 면역활성화 동물 모델에는 흔히 바이러스 모방 Poly I:C 또는 박테리아 유래물질 LPS 등을 임신한 어미에 도입시킴으로서 모체 면역이 활성화되며, 친염증성 사이토카인이 증가하고 자손의 뇌에서 미세아교세포 활성이 관찰되었다. 미세아교세포는 중추신경계에서 중재 역할을 하는 뇌 상주 면역 세포이다. 미세아교세포는 식균 작용, 시냅스 형성 및 분지, 혈관 신생과 같은 다양한 기능을 담당하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 여러 연구에서 미세아교세포가 모체면역활성화 자손에서 활성화되어 있고, 다양한 사이토카인과의 상호작용을 통해 자손 행동에 영향을 미침이 보고되었다. 또한 신경세포와 별아교세포와의 상호작용을 통해 뇌회로에서도 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나 미세아교세포가 뇌 발달 및 행동 결함에 필수적인지에 대해서는 논란이 있으며 정확한 메커니즘은 아직 알려지지 않다. 따라서 뇌 발달 장애의 잠재적 진단 및 치료를 위해서는 모체면역활성화 동물 모델에서 미세아교세포 기능 연구의 필요성이 더욱 요구되고 있다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 피드백으로서의 모델글과 재구성글이 제2 언어학습자의 주목과 영어 글쓰기에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 연구참여자는 92명의 대학생으로 모델글을 비교하는 집단, 재구성글을 비교하는 집단과 통제 집단으로 나누어 3단계로 구성된 글쓰기 활동을 하였다. 1단계에서는 모든 집단이 1차 작문하면서 어려움에 관해 기록하였고, 2단계에서는 모델글 집단은 피드백으로서 제공된 모델글과 자신의 글을 비교하였고, 재구성글 집단은 재구성글과 자신의 글과 비교하였다. 이들 실험집단은 피드백으로서 제공된 글을 비교하면서 자신들이 주목한 요소를 필기하였다. 그리고 통제집단은 이 단계에서는 자신의 글을 읽기만 하였다. 3단계에서는 모든 집단이 1차 작문을 수정하였다. 본 연구 결과는 1차 작문 시 어려움 중 어휘표현을 가장 많이 보고하였으며, 모델글과 재구성글을 비교하는 과정에서 1차 작문 시 보고한 어려움보다 더 많은 요소를 주목하였고, 이를 수정 작문에 반영하였다. 그리고 피드백으로 제공된 모델글과 재구성글은 학습자의 글쓰기 향상에 도움이 되었던 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 모델글과 재구성글이 더 좋은 글을 쓰는데 기여하도록 영어 작문 수업에 활용할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

  • In recent years, various international organizations have raised awareness regarding psychosocial risks and work-related stress. European stakeholders have also taken action on these issues by producing important documents, such as position papers and government regulations, which are reviewed in this article. In particular, 4 European models that have been developed for the assessment and management of work-related stress are considered here. Although important advances have been made in the understanding of work-related stress, there are still gaps in the translation of this knowledge into effective practice at the enterprise level. There are additional problems regarding the methodology in the evaluation of work-related stress. The European models described in this article are based on holistic, global and participatory approaches, where the active role of and involvement of workers are always emphasized. The limitations of these models are in the lack of clarity on preventive intervention and, for two of them, the lack of instrument standardization for risk evaluation. The comparison among the European models to approach work-related stress, although with limitations and socio-cultural differences, offers the possibility for the development of a social dialogue that is important in defining the correct and practical methodology for work stress evaluation and prevention.
