One- to three-month-old infants (n=232) were compared their upper arm cumference and skinfold thickness(triceps, subscapular) by feeding methods in cross-sectional study. There were two groups : breast-fed(BF) and formula-fed groups(FF). As reported previously, weight, length, head and chest circumferences of these infants were good, and overall growth status was not significantly different by feeding methods, but weight, weight velocity and chest circumference of formula-fed infants were higher than breast-feds at 3month, significantly. Hear, the triceps skinfold thickness of infants at 1, 2, and 3 postpartum months were 7.4, 9.5 and 10.5 mm, respectively. The triceps skinfold thickness of breast-fed infants were higher than formula-feds at 1 and 2 postpartum month, but at 3 month that of formula-fed infants was greater than breast-fed infants, insignificantly. The subscapular skinfold thickness of infants were 6.4, 9.2 and 10.6 mm at 1 to 3 postpartum months, respectively. The upper arm circumference of infants were 11.7, 13.4, 14.3cm, and the arm muscle diameter were 34.5,39.3 and 41.7cm at one to three postpartum months, respectively. The upper arm circumference of male infants was higher than females at 2, 3 postpartum months. Overall, there were no signifiant differences between feeding methods in triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, upper arm circumference and arm muscle diameter. But 3-month-old formula-fed male infant showed bigger significantly in arm circumference than the breast-feds. From this survey, long-term survey on growth and body composition of large scales might be necessary to determine the effect of feeding methods of infants after 3 months and to set proper body composition standard for infant.

This study tried to examine the internal mechanism in selecting, sorting, and producing international news coming from foreign country. With a perspective of media economists, this study hypothesized a relationship between the type of newspaper(regional vs. national), based on news markets, and the type of international news(sensational vs. public affairs), between the type of country(the First vs. Third world) and the type of news, and between the type of news market and the type of nation). The results indicated a signifiant relationship between the type of press and the type of news, with some internal inconsistency on the number of article and the amount of coverage. Further, this study revealed there was still an imbalance between the First and the Third country in terms of rho quality and quantity of international news. Also a significant relationship was found between the type of newspaper and the type of country.

Clothes and human body are inseparably related. Aesthetic consciousness of the body determines the form of clothing, reflecting the time and culture as well as the individual and society. Clothes can even reorganize the meaning of the body, while transcending their instrumental functions of protecting, expanding and deforming the body. Using 'body' to analyze the clothing form, my study develops a framework by which to classify transfiguration in fashion design. In order to inquire tile formative style and aesthetic values expressed in transfiguration in fashion, my study examines subjects from the discourse on the body to the fashion collections of the late 20th and 21st century. The results of the study are as follows. Transfiguration signifies absence of body which questions the three dimensional construction of the body in more conventional clothing system. Transfiguration is expressed in non-figural forms which implies metaphorical plasticity and abstract extensity. Transfiguration in fashion stresses a will-to-form rather than mere bodily proportion and structure, which explores trans-extensity that goes beyond the boundary of the body. Ultimately, this phase also betrays the correspondence between signifiant and $signifi\acute{e}$ in sartorial convention. Aesthetic ideal of the body is visualized in the form of a dress. Some clothes prioritize the body, particularly the feminine bodily curves, while others focus on the clothing itself as abstract and sculptural forms. Fashion continues to explore forms and images that transcend the traditional representations of the clothed body. As a type of intimate architecture, fashion always mediates the dialogue between clothes and body, or fashion and figure. My study suggests a framework to analyze bodily representation in transfiguration in fashion, focusing on the relationship between the clothes and body.

Since some cyanobacterial isolates under selective culturing conditions are lacking of characteristic specialized cells or showing altered morphology, the morpho-taxonomic criteria are not accurate enough to discriminate between species. Instead of morphological parameters, a method based on the single or the combination of repetitive oligonucleotides in a single PCR, repetitive oligonucleotides-primed PCR (ROP-PCR), was applied to generate DNA profiles for members of the cyanobacterial genera Anabaena and Oscillatoria, both of which are responsible for causing poisonous blooms in various freshwater systems. ROP-PCR performed on 10 isolates of the cyanobacteria with ERIC and REP sequences from gram-negative bacteria, STRR1A and LTRR sequences derived from cyanobacterial genome, and eukaryotic repetitive sequences, led to the identification of distinct genotypes, and provided specific and repeatable DNA fingerprints for cyanobacterial isolates. Grouping analysis of cyanobacterial isolates showed a signifiant difference depending on the primer used in PCR.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the involved lower limb weight bearing training on symmetrical weight supporting rate improvement and gait characteristics of patients with hemiplegia including their gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length of the non affected side, step length of the affected side, foot angle of the non affected side, foot angle of the affected side, base of support, and so on. The subject of the study was 28 men and women patients with hemiplegia from 22 to 77 age, among patients who doctor diagnosed as hemiplegia due to stroke or traumatic brain injury, were possible to do independent gait more than 45m without others assistance, the flexion contracture of hip pint was less than $15^{\circ}$, did not have contracture for knee pint and one more than $5^{\circ}$ for ankle joint, did not have contraindication for exercise or gait did not show visual defect due to brain injury. The patients, the subject of the study, were classified into 14 patients of treatment. group applying continuous involved weight bearing with general therapeutic exercise and 14 patients of control group applying general therapeutic exercise, and then analyzed their gait before and after exercise. Temporal distance gait analysis(Boening, 1977) was used to analyze their gait, and ink foot-print was applied as one of measurement methods. However, it was statistically signifiant in the change rate(%) of gait characteristics, and treatment group's patients with hemiplegia had been highly changed in gait characteristics in comparison with control group. From the above-mentioned results, could find that continuous involved weight bearing training for patients with hemiplegia was effective to improve their gait ability and it could increase the ability in comparison with general exercise.

Since the discovery, in the 1980s, of erosion-pit-induced fractures in implanted mechanical heart valves. cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valves has been widely studied as a possible cause of pitting. Several factors, including peak dp/dt of the ventricular pressure. maximum closing velocity of the leaflet, and squeeze flow. have been studied as indices of the cavitation threshold. In the present study. cavitation erosion on the surface of a mechanical valve was examined by focusing on squeeze flow and the water hammer phenomenon during the closing period of the valve. In this study, we measures pressure wave forms near a valve and closing velocities of a disk, which were placed in a holder with and without compliance. In case of all holders, pressure drop of below vapor pressure expect at near the surface disk. It was also found that the closing velocity of the disk increased and that cavitation erosion was enhanced too. These results suggest that disk closing velocity during the closing phase has signifiant effects on pitting erosion.

The purpose of this study was to examine the gender differences in children's emotional intelligence or their giftedness, and to investigate the relationship between children's emotional intelligence and their giftedness. Subjects were 268 5-year-old kindergarten children who were composed of 131 male children and 137 female children. The collected data were analyzed by using t-test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. The major results of this study were as follows: First, female children showed higher emotional intelligence than male children. Second, there was no signifiant difference between male children and female children in their giftedness. Third, controlling for children's IQ, utilization of emotion, appraisal and expression of self-emotion, and relationship with peers were predictable variables of children's giftedness. Among the subareas of emotional intellignece, utilization of emotion was the most important predictor in explaining children's giftedness. The results showed that there was significant relationship between children's emotional intelligence and their giftedness.

This paper made some statistical analyses on marine accidents in Korean waters using marine accident statistics. They were verified through analyses of one-way ANOVA: the difference in average number of marine accidents among Korean waters, between fishing and non-fishing vessels, and by year and by month The pairwise post hoc multiple comparisons of REGW-For GH test were additionally tested. As a result, there were significance differences among Korean waters. The difference of marine accidents by year was verified to have a statistical significance in the South and the East Sea for the fishing vessel, and in the South Sea for the non-fishing vessel. There were signifiant differences of monthly marine accidents by month in the Yellow and the East Sea for the fishing vessel only.

Despite anti-corruption has been one of the major governmental tasks in Korea, anti-corruption policies have been focused largely on government officials in public sectors, and most of the prior studies have examined government employees not public citizens. In order to fill the vacuum in the literature, this study aims to develop evidence-based anti-corruption policies via a survey of people in various job categories for the relationship between their experiences of any corruption and related factors. Researchers analyzed a secondary data gathered by the Korean Institute of Public Administration, which included a sample of 1,000 adults aged over 19. The results showed that indirect experiences of corruption and interaction with the corrupted were positively related to individuals' corruption behaviors. In addition, their perception towards low- and mid-ranking officials were statistically signifiant in explaining the corruption behavior. Thus, policy-makers should consider focusing on indirect experiences of corruption, interaction with the corrupted, and perception towards low- and mid-ranking officials. This study contributed as an attempt to suggest policy implications and further research ideas by examining factors related to individuals' corruption behaviors.
