Agreement between open question and closed question on portion size of a food frequency questionnaire was assessed for the influence by the restricted choices in closed question on estimated nutrient intakes and agreement of ranking individuals. Dietary intakes of 361 subjects in a rural country, Yang-pyeung Gun were obtained using a interview method. The results are as follows ; 1) Nutrients intakes calculated from closed question on portion size were lower than those calculated from open question on portion size. 2) For most nutrients the percentage of Korean RDA were significantly lower with closed question than open question. 3) Correlation coefficient of nutrient intakes and food intakes obtained by two methods were higher than 0.6 for all nutrients and food items. 4) For each nutrient, misclassification into extreme quartiles was less than 1 percent. 5) These data indicate that closed question on portion size can provide the corresponding information as open question if food frequency questionnarie is used for the ranking of individuals.

This study investigated differences between the ability of children and young adults to describe their experience. Forty 5-year-olds and 40 16-year-olds viewed 12 pictures(Azmitia, 1987) and responded to open-ended, closed and misleading questions. Responses were categorized by the SPSS WIN program into rate of correctness, incorrectness, unresponsiveness and "don't know". Data were analyzed by t-test. On open-ended questions, the rate of incorrectness by young adults was higher than that of children. On closed questions, children had a higher rate of incorrectness than young adults. On misleading questions, children showed a lower performance in the rate of correctness and "don't know" and the rate of incorrectness by children was higher than that of young adults.

Let X be a regular $T_1$-space such that each single point set is a $G_{\delta}$ set. Denot 'hereditarily closure-preserving' by 'HCP'. To consider a question of closed maps of S. Lin in [6], we improve some results of Foged in [1], and prove the following propositions. Proposition 1. $D\;=\;\{x{\in}X\;:\;\mid\{F{\in}\cal{F}:x{\in}F\}\mid{\geq}{\aleph}_0\}$ is discrete and closed if $\cal{F}$ is a collection of HCP. Proposition 2. $\cal{H}\;=\;\{{\cup}\cal{F}'\;:\;F'$ is an fininte subcolletion of $\cal{F}_n\}$ is HCP if $\cal{F}$ is a collection of HCP. Proposition 3. Let (X,$\tau$) have a $\sigma$-HCP k-network. Then (X,$\tau$) has a $\sigma$-HCP k-network F = ${\cup}_n\cal{F}_n$ such that such tat: (i) $\cal{F}_n\;\subset\;\cal{F}_{n+1}$, (ii) $D_n\;=\;\{x{\in}X\;:\;\mid\{F{\in}\cal{F}_n\;:\;x{\in}F\}\mid\;{\geq}\;{\aleph}_0\}$ is a discrete closed set and (iii) each $\cal{F}_n$ is closed to finite intersections.

In this article, we introduce and study the Gorenstein cotorsion dimension of modules and rings. It is shown that this dimension has nice properties when the ring in question is left GF-closed. The relations between the Gorenstein cotorsion dimension and other homological dimensions are discussed. Finally, we give some new characterizations of weak Gorenstein global dimension of coherent rings in terms of Gorenstein cotorsion modules.

The contingent valuation method(CVM) has been used to evaluate the economic value of nonmarket goods such as forest recreation. There are two commonly used CVM questionnaire formats: open-ended and closed-ended. This study evaluates the net economic value associated with day use downhill skiing, using CVM. A random, on-site survey of skiers in Muju, Korea generated the value estimates. In this paper a nonparametric test is introduced to find whether the difference between value estimates from open-ended and closed-ended formats are significantly different because the distributions of WTPs are non-normally distributed. The results show that the net economic benefits of a skier in Muju varies from \15,131 to \25,332. The closed-ended values were 1.15 to 1.67 times as large as the open-ended values, depending on the model specifications. In nonparametric test the mean WTPs of the open-ended and close-ended applications are significantly different. Its reason may be that closed-ended can be more reducing the incentive for strategic behavior than open-ended question. However, we cannot conclude that the closed-ended method is superior to the open-ended method.

The purpose of this study was to examine the questions in the 'Matter' units of elementary science textbooks under the 7th curriculum. For the analysis, a total of 338 questions were extracted from 15 units. Six criteria (recalling, recognizing, predictive, applied, divergent, and evaluative question) were reconstructed for textbook question analysis based on Blosser(1973)'s question category system for science. The results were as follows. First, there were more closed (recalling, recognizing, predictive, or applied) questions (72.2%) than open (divergent or evaluative) questions (27.8%) in elementary science textbooks. Second, cognitive-memory (recalling or recognizing) question type was the most frequently asked in all grade levels. Open (divergent or evaluative) questions increased according to grade level whereas convergent (predictive or applied) questions decreased. Third, question types were applied based on the characteristics of each unit rather than on children's developmental characteristics. Educational implications were discussed based on the results.

We investigated the perception and preferred type of question and analyzed type of questions asked by teachers in elementary science class to identify how teachers' perception of questioning is reflected in teaching practices. We collected the data from questionnaires, deep-interview and audiotaped four classes from grade 3 and six classes from grade 6. The data form deep-interview were analyzed interpretively and Blosser' framework of question was used to analyze questions which teachers used in classes. By interpretation of data from questionnaires, the teachers agreed that questioning affects science class in elementary school. There were a little differences in perceptions of questioning among three teachers. They preferred various types of question rather than a specific type. They didn't have a good understanding of questioning. The result showed that the teachers used frequently cognitive-memory question and convergent thinking question, which belonged to closed questions in their science classes. This didn't accord with their preferred types of question. The causes came from objectives of science instruction, degree of understanding about questioning, preference and confidence for science class. From this findings, we suggested that teachers should be given opportunities to take training courses in questioning in order to use effective questioning in science class.

We show that any orthogonal almost complex structure on a warped product Riemannian manifold of an oriented closed surface with nonnegative Gaussian curvature and a round 4-sphere is never integrable. This provides a partial answer to a question raised by E. Calabi.

P.Zenor에 의해서 Monotonically Normal space가 정의되었으며 그후 R. Health와 D. Lutzer에 의해서 Linearly ordered topological space가 Monotonically Normal 임을 증명했다. 한편 Zenor는 Monotonically Normal Space의 hereditary에 관한 것을 question으로 남겼는데 Health와 Lutzer가 증명했고 또 그 증명보다 더 간단한 증명을 Calos R. Boyers가 증명했다[3]. 뿐만 아니라 그 결과로서 Linearly ordered topological space와 Elastic space 가 Monotonically Normal space임을 밝혔다. 또 [4]에서 Gary Gruenhage가 Monotonically Normal space가 Elastic space가 안됨을 counterexample을 들어서 증명했다. 결론적으로 Monotonically Normal spare와 Elastic space는 완전히 분리되었다. 또 Elastic space의 closed continuous image는 paracompact이고 Monotonically Normal 임을 증명했다. 이 논문에서는 본인이 밝힌 것은 Monotonically Normal space의 closed continuous image가 Mono tonically Normal임을 밝혔다.

Despite the importance of questionnaires, little survey methodology research on questionnaire design has been conducted in Korea. The purpose of this study was to explore whether two questionnaire forms (close-ended vs. open-ended questions) about 'the most important problem in Korea' elicited similar responses. During the 2016 Korean General Social Survey (KGSS), a random half of respondents were asked the open-ended question form and the remaining half were asked the close-ended question form. While the economy is the most mentioned response (35% vs. 33.2%) to both close-ended and open-ended question forms, there is similarity in the order of highly mentioned responses if we consider that 'politics' is not provided as one of response categories in the close-ended question form. The order of second to fourth response category is crime (24.4%), education (15.4%), and poverty (6.3%) to the closed-ended question form, and politics (10.8%), crime (9.5%), and education (7.6%) to the open-ended question form. Also, the characteristics of respondents who responded with the economy as being the most important are slightly different between the two halves in terms of age, household income, and satisfaction with economic condition. Our findings suggest that we need to be careful when we adopt questions developed in other countries and to consider using survey experiments in pre-testing questionnaire items.
