  • The purpose of this study is to examine the trend and characteristics of 'One Book. One City' reading campaign by studying cases of four communities; 'If Ail of Seattle Read the Same Book'(Seattle), 'One Book One Chicago' (Chicago), 'Reading' 'The Grapes of Wrath (California) and 'Canada Reads'(Canada), and analyzing objectives, selected books, discussion guides, and programs of 239 'One Book' campaigns. 'One Book' readng campaign can be characterized to be successful for combining various media and events with reading and discussion of written text and largely dependent upon cooperation between public libraries and communities and their diversity in selecting books and conducting programs.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the relations between using experience of environmental education facilities and attitude toward environmental education in parents who have elementary students in Seattle, U.S. The findings of this study represented that elementary parents have a great understanding about the importance of environmental education. Parents have a strong agreement with the necessity of environmental education in childhood. This research also found the differences between grades and facilities for environmental education in expected effect on environmental education and desirable fields of environmental education. The awareness of the importance of environmental education increased according to frequency in using environmental education facilities. In addition, the more the experiences of using various environmental education facilities, such as museum of natural history, science museum, arboretum, and aquarium expanded, the more educational effects positively increased over time.

  • The purpose of the city planning is to share the future image of the area where all citizens sympathize and to function as tools to implement a policy. Recently, the city of Seoul has established the community plan to manage the city as neighborhood units, but there are several issues that need to be addressed, such as lack of practical strategies. Therefore, this study studied the neighborhood unit plan in terms of feasibility. The comparative analysis is the masterplan of the City of Seattle in the U.S and the city of Yokohama in Japan, which are known to accomplish advanced urban planning. As a result, three factors were needed; there are 1) a masterplan that acts as an action plan, 2) administrative support tools such as financial and human resources that encourage people to participate in urban planning with enthusiasm, and 3) a management system that continuously manages the plan itself. This result is expected to be a reference for the establishment of method for the implementation of neighborhood unit plan in Seoul.

Comparative study of policy and elementary school mathematics learning program for mathematics underachievers in Korea and the United States: Focused on the Seattle Public Schools and Chuncheon Office of Education (우리나라와 미국의 초등학교 수학학습부진아 정책 및 지도 프로그램 비교 분석: 춘천시 교육청과 시애틀 교육청을 중심으로)

  • Since the 1990s, Korea has been developing various policies and materials for the improvement of basic learning abilities. In this study, the cases of policies for underachievers in Korea and the US were compared and analyzed the programs for mathematics underachievers in elementary school with Chuncheon office of education and Seattle public schools. All of them started from the point of relief of underachievers, but they differed in the process of operating them specifically. This study suggests the followings. First, active utilization of vacation programs to solve problems such as low-income meal service, prevention of stigma effects, securing teacher's instruction time, teacher-instructor cooperation. Second, the necessity of detailed activity-centered textbooks that underachievers can explore with interest in mathematics learning and easy to use by teachers. Third, specific cooperation for inducing interest of their own children's learning and forming close ties between parents and teachers. Fourth, program analysis by a professional evaluation group to improve the quality of underachiever program.

  • 미국에서는 1998년 워싱턴주 시애틀에서 '만약 시애틀 전체 시민이 같은 책을 읽는다면 (if All of Seattle Read the Same Book)${\cdots}$'이라는 프로젝트로 시작한 '한 도시, 한 책' 운동이 2001년 일리노이주 시카고에서 '한 책, 한 시카고(One Book, One Chicago)'로 본격화되었다. 국내에서는 2003년 충남 서산에서의 '한 책' 시범 운영 후 김해와 순천, 부산, 청주, 대전, 용인, 부천 등 여러 도시에서 '같이 또 다르게' 진행되고 있다. 김해에서도 2007년 '책 읽는 도시-김해'를 선포하면서 시작한 "김해의 책"이 올해로 5년째를 맞는다. 그간의 활동을 정리하며 "김해의 책"이 갖는 비전과 사회적 책읽기로서의 가능성에 대해 전망해 본다.

  • Polymers are widely applied in bioseparation processes as well as in drug delivery systems. These two fields have a certain commonality, in that they involve either removal or delivery of specific biomolecules from or to an aqueous environment It is also to be noted that therapeutic toxin renloval is an example of a bioseparation process. This presentation will focus on the use of polys!ors in physical as well as biospecific separations and delivery of biomolecules. Several new systems will also be described.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide nurses with a concise review on neurodegenrative dementias. This review includes pathophysiology, clinical course, and tips on management of dementias from Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD) and lewy body dementia (LBD). Considering increasing numbers of dementia cases among older adults, nurses who are cognizant about dementia care are instrumental in maximizing daily activities and quality of life of patients with cognitive impairment and dementia.

  • Results from nonlinear time-history analyses of wall-frame structural models indicate that the condition of vulnerable foundations -for which uplifting and reaching the bearing capacity of the supporting soil can occur before yielding at the base of the shear walls- may not be necessarily detrimental to the drift response of buildings under strong ground motions. Analyses also show that a soil-foundation system can inherently have deformation capacity well in excess of the demand and thus act as a source of energy dissipation that protects the structural integrity of the shear walls.
