급격하게 감소하는 중학생들의 독서를 증진시킬 수 있는 학교도서관의 독서 교육 방안을 모색하기 위하여 PISA 2009의 읽기 영역 중 독서 태도와 읽기 성적의 상관관계, 국민독서실태조사 결과, 그리고 독서 태도와 독서 동기 관련 연구들을 검토하였다. 학생들의 읽기 성적은 높지만 독서 태도는 그다지 긍정적이지 않다. 즐거움을 위한 독서가 읽기 성취도와 강한 정적 관계에 있다는 점에서 즐거운 독서를 증진시키 위해서 장서가 풍부한 학교도서관, 스스로 선택한 책을 자유롭게 읽을 수 있는 독서 시간이 보장되어야 하며, 독서를 다른 교육적 목적의 수단으로 강요하는 것을 지양해야 한다. 그리고 학생의 성별, 읽기 능력, 독서에 대한 정의적 인지적 태도, 독서 경험과 독서량, 독서 자료의 유형, 독서 시간 등의 특성에 따라 학생들을 범주화하여 차별화된 독서 프로그램을 제공해야 한다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a group activity, reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT), in order to investigate advantages and challenges of RPT in promoting cooperative and collaborative learning environment for EFL University reading instruction. The participants in this study were 89 students taking an English reading course at a Korean university. RPT is a learning strategy whereby learners help each other and learn by teaching. This program was supported by a Vygotskyan perspective which assumes that learners gain mastery and develop cognitive skills through social interaction with more proficient others and their environment. This study relied particularly on participant perceptions through questionnaire survey and Anonymous Online class Report of the course. This study showed various advantages for tutors such as learning through teaching and becoming more autonomous and responsible for their own learning. Non-threatening and highly motivating learning atmosphere are parts of benefits for tutees. Other advantages for tutees included improved level of academic self-confidence, and motivation. This study also revealed several drawbacks associated with the problem of inaccuracy in students' production and students' demand for more direct teacher role. (182 words).

Shareholders solely depend on annual reports to make investment, credit and other decisions. Investors expect that information should be reliable, relevant, comparable, consistent and thus easy to use for decision making. But whether the importance of annual reports to all shareholders is equally significant is a question of research. Thus, this research study tries to find out the importance of reading annual reports to the investors. A questionnaire survey is conducted on investors considering thirty one general shareholders and six brokers. This research based survey finds that most of the shareholders have no knowledge about accounting or finance and they have little knowledge about capital markets due to lack of training. This study also finds that general shareholders read an annual report at least moderately except value added statement, chairman's review, director's report and rumor. This study recommends human resource should be developed through adequate training, and annual reports should provide transparent and quality information which will ultimately increase the confidence of investors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between awareness of nutrition labeling and menstrual cycle irregularity in women from a nationally representative sample of the Korean population. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed using hierarchical multi-variable logistic regression analysis models. A total of 4,324 women aged 19~54 years from the 2010~2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participated in the study. The participants were classified into three groups based on self-report responses to a questionnaire about their awareness of nutrition labels: Reading, Not-Reading, and Not-Knowing Groups. Results: The Reading, Not-Reading, and Not-Knowing Groups comprised 46.4%, 44.9%, and 8.7% of the participants, respectively, and 53.6% of the participants had never used nutrition labels. In the Not-Knowing Group, irregular menstrual cycles for more than 3 months were significantly more common than women with irregular menstrual cycles for up to 3 months and women with regular menstrual cycles. Women in the Not-Knowing Group were more likely to exhibit menstrual cycle irregularity (adjusted odds ratio: 1.63, 95% confidence interval: 1.10~2.41) compared to women in the Reading Group after adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol intake, exercise regularity, stress, depression, suicidal ideation, metabolic syndrome, age at menarche, parity, and use of oral contraceptives. Conclusion: No awareness of nutrition labeling appears to be associated with a higher prevalence of menstrual cycle irregularity in a nationally representative group of Korean women.

This paper presents a comparative study on the effectiveness of teaching an engineering course using English with Specific Purpose(ESP). A study was performed using student groups; one class using ESP, and one class conducted in English with an English text. The course conducted using ESP showed the greatest improvement in English writing and conversation, and the students reported a greatly increased confidence in their ability to function professionally using English. A self-assessment of each student was conducted before and after the courses. Prior to the course less than 10% in each group felt that they are able to: a) understand a textbook, b) write an email, c) generate a project report, or d) follow a lecture given in English. The survey at the end of the course showed that the ESP teaching style resulted in significant improvements in students ability and confidence with writing and speaking in English, whereas reading skills were similar for both groups. This is due to the ESP method, in which students are required to give presentations and keep journals in English. After a brief review of the ESP principles and a discussion of how they were implemented, the background data of the participants(students) are described. Finally, the end-of-semester survey highlights the efficacy of the ESP approach.

In 2010, foliar symptoms were observed in the paprika leaves in Jinju city, Korea. Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) was identified in paprika by using the large-scale oligonucleotide chip assay. To investigate the occurrence of BWYV, a survey was performed on various crops, including paprika, from 2011 to 2014. Further, the presence of BWYV was consistently verified through literature survey from 2015 to 2017. BWYV infection has been identified in Solanaceae crops (bell pepper, hot pepper, and paprika), various weeds, and green peach aphids and it occurs on a nationwide scale. Cultivation using organic methods involved natural enemies and showed a high BWYV infection rate, which was more than that for conventional cultivation methods in greenhouse. The complete genome sequence of BWYV isolated from paprika was determined for the first time. The genome of the BWYV-Korea isolate consists of 5750 nucleotides and has six open reading frames. Sequence identity results showed maximum similarity between the BWYV-Korea isolate and the BWYV LS isolate (identity > 90%). This study is the first report of BWYV infecting paprika in Korea. The survey revealed that BWYV is naturalized in the domestic ecology of Korea.

Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV; genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) causes severe losses to various legume species and a number of non-legume species, particularly freesia plants. In a survey of virus diseases in Gyeonggi province, Korea, BYMV isolates were identified from many cultivated freesia species. Here, we determined the complete nucleotide sequences of a BYMV freesia isolate (BYMV-Fr; accession number FJ492961). BYMV-Fr genome consists of 9,545 nucleotides (nt) excluding the poly (A) tail and encodes 3,057 amino acid (aa), with an AUG start and UAG stop codon, containing one open reading frame typical of a potyvirus polyprotein. The polyprotein of BYMV-Fr was divided to ten proteins and the cleavage sites of each protein were determined. The coat protein (CP) and polyprotein of BYMV-Fr were compared at the aa level with those of the previously reported 4 BYMV isolates. BYMV-Fr shared 90.1 to 97.1 and 91.0 to 92.5% at the CP and polyprotein homology. Interestingly, BYMV-Fr showed identities of a lower level at the nt level of 5' noncoding region (61.4 to 67.6%) and at the aa level of P1 (71.4 to 72.8%), comparing with four BYMV isolates. Based on the aa sequence diversity of CP and polyprotein, phylogenetic analysis with the four BYMV isolates showed two distinct groups and BYMV-Fr and most BYMV isolates were most closely related to the clover yellow vein virus among 52 potyviruses. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the complete genome sequence of BYMV freesia strain.

주관적 행복이 각광 받고 있다. 주관적 행복에 따라 사회비교 및 인지부조화 해소가 달라지는 것처럼, 주관적 행복이 소비자의 대안 비교와 평가에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 본 연구는 소비자가 선택한 혹은 선택하지 않은 대안에 대한 추가 정보로 인해 대안의 절대적 가치 및 상대적 가치가 변동할 때, 대안에 대한 평가가 소비자의 주관적 행복에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지 연구하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 특히, 소비자가 제품에 대해 지각하는 가치를 반영하는 소비자가 생각하는 대안의 적정가격을 사용하여 대안에 대한 평가를 측정하였다. 즉, 선택 혹은 비선택 대안의 상대적 가치 및 절대적 가치의 변화가 대안의 적정가격에 미치는 영향이 주관적 행복에 따라 달라지는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구를 위하여 98명의 대학생을 대상으로 실험을 실시하였다. 먼저, 학생들을 두 집단(비선택 대안 악화, 선택 대안 개선)에 무작위 할당한 후, 실험실 모니터에 2개의 대안에 대한 소비자 리포트를 제시하였다. 학생들이 하나의 대안을 선택하면, 대안에 대한 소비자 리포트의 평가가 변동(비선택 대안 악화, 선택 대안 개선)하면서 비선택 대안의 가격이 주어지고, 학생들은 선택 대안의 적정가격을 답하였다. 2주 후 학생들의 주관적 행복을 설문지로 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 집단, 주관적 행복의 단순효과 및 이 둘의 상호작용효과가 유의하였다. 또한, 행복한 사람은 비선택 대안이 악화될 때 보다 선택 대안이 좋아질 때 선택 대안의 적정가격을 높게 평가한 반면, 불행한 사람은 이러한 차이가 없었다. 이는 행복한 사람은 선택 대안의 절대적 가치 상승에 민감한 반면, 불행한 사람은 선택 대안의 절대적, 상대적 가치 상승 모두에 민감하며, 불행한 사람은 행복한 사람보다 비선택 대안의 악화 정보에 집중함을 의미한다. 본 연구는 소비자의 주관적 행복이 대안 평가에 미치는 영향을 제시함으로써 기존 연구를 확장하였다. 특히, 타인의 존재가 명시되지 않은 상황에서도 행복한 사람보다 불행한 사람이 부정적인 사회비교 정보에 민감함을 보였다는 점에서 이론적 의의가 있다. 아울러, 이러한 결과는 소비자의 주관적 행복 수준에 따라 대안을 어떻게 제시해야 하는지에 대한 시사점을 유통업체들에 제공한다. 본 연구는 한국의 소비자를 대상으로 진행하였으나, 향후 연구에서 국가간 차이를 비교하는 것도 의미 있을 것이다. 또한, 주관적 행복이 대안 평가에 미치는 영향의 메커니즘을 밝히기 위하여 예상되는 후회감, 고통, 기쁨 등을 매개변수로 놓고 추가 연구를 진행할 필요가 있다.

The advanced developing countries including Korea are assumed to have reached a developmental stage which necessitates them to formulate and implement a plan for a national information network. Most of the governments in the advanced developing countries are well aware of the necessity for such a plan and some of them have actually commenced their studies on the feasibility of a national network of their own hoping to achieve maximum utility of their limited information resources. Two urgent problems facing planners in the design of a national information network are identified. One is lack of an optimum organisational model to enable them to meet their own situations, and the other is lack of a guideline to help designers evaluate the alternative structures and models when they are available. In resolving these two problems, network planners in the advanced developing countries would benefit from the achievement of the objectives of the present study. The major objective is to elicit and describe common information needs, desires and value of the people using information, and other common factors which are responsible for the present information services in the advanced developing countries and which have implications for the basic structure of the national information network. The value of this study is to aid administrators in Korea and those in the other advanced developing countries who are responsible for making national policies and who are now beginning to recognise the need for information services with the planning of economic and social development so as to enable all the groups in the community to have access to the information which are essential for decision making, research work, studies and even for recreational reading. This recognition will hopefully give them a rational basis for formulating right policies on information services. The methodology utlised for collecting the required data in this study falls under the category of observation and largely consists of the two techniques: literature review and postal questionnaire. Background information on the individual advanced developing: countries was gathered from monographic and periodical literature. and country reports presented at the various international conferences were analysed for other relevant data. For most of the data needed for the present study, a questionnaire on 'Library and Information Services as They Are Available in the Selected Countries' was formulated. This questionnaire was designed to be completed without help, by an expert who was well informed of the library and information services in his or her country. The questionnaire was intended to look in details at what information services in the advanced developing countries were doing-whom they were serving, in what way, and how well and establish to what extent they were meeting the nation's information requirements. It was also intended to ascertain the respondents' ideas on possible future developments in information provision in their countries, that is, in the advanced devanced developing countries. The questionnaire was posted to a total of 63 natinal librarians, directors of national information centres and those of other major libraries or information centres in 21 selected countries. Complete usable responses were received from 34 persons in 14 countries. In order to identify common characteristics of the information needs and desires in the advanced developing countries and the present situation of the information services to meet them, and the requirements and constraints peculiar to those countries which bought to be considered in the design of a national information network for advanced developing countries, an individual report on the current status of information activities for each of the fourteen countries chosen for this study, was presented. The procedure used was to arrange the data acquired in the questionnaire responses and other sources, in the form of fifteen country reports to be summarised by cross-section characteristics later.
