Today, in accordance with emphasizing the importance of character education, science educators have tried to implement character education in the field of science education. Therefore, this research aims to confirm the possibility of the realization of 'Practice Centered Mechanism of Manifesting Character' developed on the basis of character education theory through the application of the NABI Program based on Nature-Study. For this, the NABI program was applied to 24 3rd grade students of an elementary school for a period of ten months. Qualitative data was collected like students' reports, journals, and video recording of the classes. This data was classified into 'value, judgment, action,' the steps of 'Practice Centered Mechanism of Manifesting Character,' and text was written by interpreting the data. The research resulted in the following: First, students formed 'value' by making a connection with the objects. And the various values - individual, interpersonal, social, ecological, and spiritual - are formed according to the type of objects with which the students felt a connection to. Second, students need to judge the problems of the real world at the 'judgment' step. Third, at the 'action' step, students practice moral behavior in relation to the sympathy or feeling they felt with the objects that they made a connection to. In conclusion, 'Practice Centered Mechanism of Manifesting Character' can be realized through the application of the NABI Program. The NABI Program can be a definite way to implement character education in the field of science education.

We developed $21^{st}$ century scientific literacy assessment instrument and applied it to explore the contents of seven Korean science textbooks. The $21^{st}$ century scientific literacy assessment instrument involved three dimensions (habits of mind, character and values, science as human endeavor). Each dimension consists of three sub-dimensions. Five science education experts assessed the content of textbook using criteria. We discussed issues in which the examiners responses did not match and reached an agreement on initial disagreement. As a result, we found that most Korean textbook contained contents on habits of mind, especially, communication, collaboration, and information management. We also found that most materials lacked information about character and values and science as human endeavor. Based on the result, we suggest that researchers and science educators need to consider all dimensions of the $21^{st}$ century scientific literacy when they develop curriculum and teaching materials. In addition, the rubric for $21^{st}$ century scientific literacy can be adopted as an assessment tool for examining curriculum, teaching materials.

A sample of soil humic acid (HA) was divided by ultrafiltration (UF) into five fractions of different molecular size (UF₁: > 300, UF₂: 100~300, UF₃: 30~100, UF₄: 10~30, UF₅: 1~10 kilodaltons). Apparent average molecular weight (M_w) of the HA fractions were measured using high performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), and the chemical and structural properties of the five HA fractions were characterized by elemental compositions (H/C, O/C and w ((2O + 3NH)/ C)) and ultraviolet-visible absorption ratios (SUVA, A_4/6). The organic carbon normalized-sorption coefficients (Koc) for the binding of phenanthrene to the HA fractions were determined by fluorescence quenching and relationship between the sorption coefficients and structural characteristics of the HA fractions were investigated. The elemental analysis and UV-vis spectral data indicated that the HA fractions with higher molecular weights have grater aliphatic character and lower contents of oxygen, while the HA fractions with lower molecular size have greater aromatic character and molecular polarity that correspond to greater SUVA and internal oxidation values (w). The log Koc values (L/kg C) were gradual increased from 4.45 for UF₅ to 4.87 for UF1. The correlation study between the structural descriptors of the HA fractions and log Koc values of phenanthrene show that the magnitude of Koc values positively correlated with $M_w$ and H/C, while negatively correlated with the independent descriptors of the O/C, w, SUVA and A_4/6.

Seven flue-cured tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum) varieties and their 21 progenies in Fl and F2 generation, half diallel crosses(no reciprocal), were tested for the degree of heterosis and combining abilities in sucker producing character according to topping and suckering treatment. Significant difference in number and weight of sucker was observed among seven cultivars. The values of general combining ability(GCA) were greater than those of specific combining ability(SCA) in weight and number of sucker in F$_1$ generation. In topping and suckering plot, Cocker 86, McNair 944, and Va 115 revealed the significant negative GCA effects for number and weight of sucker, but By 104 and Speight G-28 did positive GCA. Without topping and suckering, GCA effects for sucker weight in Cocker 139 and Cocker 86 were negative and those for sucker number in Va. 115 were also negative. Negative SCA values in sucker weight could be observed in F$_1$ generation of Cocker 86 X BY 104 and Speiht G-28 X Cocker 86, in F$_2$ of Hicks $\times$ Speight G-28 and McNair 944 $\times$ BY 104 in topping and suckering plot. SCA in F$_1$ of McNair 944 X Cocker 86 and Speight G-28 X Cocker 139 was negative without topping and suckering. The value of heterosis in sucker producing character of F$_1$ hybrids was positive

Character of oceanic conditions in the bay is investigated by taking hydrographic data on june in Kamak Bay which has two channels and four submarine topographic parts of its own. This bay has four remarkable water mass influenced greatly by the above topographical factor: inner bay water, Yosu harbor water, the middle water and outer bay water. General characteristics of these four water mass were as fellows: inner bay water has a stagnation character with the influence of inland, Yosu harbor water has a out-sea character with the low salinity caused by run-off of Somjin river, outer bay water has a out-sea character with same values vertically coused by eddy current or bottom turbulunce and the middle water has a middle character among the inner bay water and outer bay water. Outer waters flowed in the bay through both channels during the flood are come upon at a near by Daekyong-do and Hangdae-ri of Dolsan-do. Eddy current or bottom turbulunce in the vincinity of Kunnae-ri which is located at south of the bay are showed sinking of water during the flood flow, while that during the ebb flow shelved up-welling phenomena.

We suggest a stratified conditional unrelated question randomized response model to more efficiently estimate a sensitive character A when the population is composed of several strata. In that model, only the respondents who answered "yes" through randomization device which was consisted of a less sensitive character B and a question forcing to answer "yes" respond to our suggested model and we deal with two allocation problems of proportional allocation and optimal one. We expand the suggested model into two sample stratified conditional unrelated question model to cover the case of unknowing unrelated character and deduce minimal variance through optimal sample size of stratum h. Finally, we show that the suggested model is more efficiency than stratified unrelated models and the stratified Carr et al.'s model (1982) under some given conditions, and show numerically that the smaller the values ${\pi}_{h2}$ and ${\pi}_{hy}$, the more efficiency the fit of the model.

Background and objective: The vitalization of urban agriculture has increased various forms of experience-based education using school gardens, which raised the importance of school gardens in terms of value as well as the need to develop an implementation system for education-based agricultural experience service using school gardens. Thus, we reset the evaluation indicators from the previous study to establish objective evaluation indicators that enable quantitative comparison of school garden education services. Methods: Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and direct question (DQ) surveys were conducted on 20 experts from October 12 to 19, 2020 after establishing the purpose and subjects of evaluation, and then the weights were calculated using the Expert Choice 2010 program. Results: First, we analyzed the problems of the previous indicators by categorizing the performance indicators and comparing and verifying them with six requirements of valuation. Then, we added 'welfare values' and established sub-indicators accordingly. The importance of value indicator in AHP was in the order of education values (0.544), health values (0.182), welfare values (0.164), environmental values (0.062), and economic values (0.049). The importance of environmental and economic values was relatively low, less than 0.1. The importance of sub-indicators was highest in cultivating character (0.144), followed by enhancing ecological sensitivity (0.141) > promoting mental health (0.134) > cultivating agricultural literacy (0.120) > improving social skills (0.104). And mitigating climate change in environmental values was lowest (0.009). Increase in income was the lowest (0.036). This can be regarded as the expression of change to increase the educational effect based on collective life and the connotative meaning of 'school'. In the case of DQ, the AHP weight and order were the same, but the environmental and economic values were relatively low, and the result was different from AHP weight. For sub-indicators, the importance in DQ was highest in promoting mental health (0.136), followed by promoting physical health (0.085), ]cultivating character (0.082), social integration (0.072), and enhancing ecological sensitivity (0.071). After reviewing related experts, we came up with 5 evaluation indicators and 16 sub-indicators for school garden education service, which are objective evaluation indicators that enable quantitative comparison. Conclusion: In the future, we will validate the socioeconomic values of school garden education services and contribute to revitalizing school gardens by establishing policy alternatives for effective operation and management of school gardens.

In this study, we propose a automatic facial expression generation tool which can generate various facial expressions efficiently for animation characters expressing various emotion. For this purpose, 9 types of facial expressions were defined by adopting Russell's pleasure-displeasure and arousal-sleep coordinate values of infernal states. And by rendering specific coordinate values consisted of the two basic dimensions of emotion(i.e., dimensions of pleasure-displeasure and arousal-sleep) and their combination, the proposed automatic facial expression generation tool could yield various facial expressions which reflected subtle changes in characters' emotion. It is expected that the tool could provide useful method of generating character face with various emotion.

Currently, tire has a variety of information to know the information of the tire are displayed on the tire side. the market are marked with raised letters showing a variety of information relating to the tires. Such information enables people and tire related companies to distinguish between tires upon the information marked on the tires. Generally, people see the information including max press, manufacturing date, etc. Accordingly, studies on automated recognition of raised letters on tire by using image processing technology have been presented consistently. However, they lack a method for recognition of letters and improvement of the recognition. Moreover, the raised letters have been previously recognized through image processing. Further, to obtain the character recognition of a conventional side in video, it is suitably utilized the effects of lighting time of acquisition, so as part of the background and the character has a gray level values between approximately the same, is the part that is not relatively clear are many scattered. In this paper, we see the characters of the tire side using the laser sensor, recognition, was designed for character recognition of the tire side.
