Continuity and discontinuity is a relative concept, and there are various categories of the continuity and discontinuity in our circumference. In the thought of postmodernism of the late of 20th Century, continuous creations of the difference and the repetition have being regarded as a discontinuity. But, because of that catches the moment occurring qualitative skip though the flowing of the everlasting time, this has been known to a shortsighted viewpoint overlooking characteristic of the qualitative continuity of an organism, which have being created continuous formation for life through the flowing of the time. Therefore, this had studied like this complex social condition and various relationships expressed in modern fashion focusing on permanently creative movements and behaviors equal to the qualitative continuity. This Thesis is following study about continuity, and aims at understanding of those formative characteristics through consideration about characteristics of qualitative continuity. And, this analyzes formative characteristics of the qualitative continuity into 5 sets: enlargement, conversion, structural variability, mutual combination, and deconstruction. This thesis intends to grasp complex modern social phenomenon and modern fashion into qualitative continuity that means continuous formation and the change of various relationships according to recognition about the course toward open thinking.

Continuity and discontinuity is a relative concept, and there are various categories of the continuity and discontinuity in our circumference. Generally, characteristics of postmodernism including between the difference and the variety have being regarded as a discontinuity. Concept of the continuity includes between the quantitative continuity and the qualitative continuity qualitative continuity has organic characteristic, which encourages creating something permanently through the flowing of the time. Therefore, this thesis has studied like this complex social condition and various relationships expressed in modern fashion focusing on permanently creative movements and behaviors equal to the 'continuance' theory of Herni Bergson and 'continuity' theory of Jill Deleuze. This thesis classifies characteristics of the qualitative continuity into spatiotemporal and spatial continuity, and subdivides into 3 sets: perceptual continuity, spatial continuity, transferring continuity of physical experience, immaterial informational continuity, and fluid continuity with environment. Continuous viewpoint, which accepts the existing elements and allows them to flow liberally, should be present more appropriative thinking direction in explaining the complex situation expressed in the modern fashion, rather than discontinuous viewpoints focused on the only changing moment.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference and inter-connectivity between the definition of continuity in school mathematics and the definition of academic mathematics in four perspectives. These difference and inter-connectivity have not analyzed in previous papers. According to this study, the definition of 'continuity and discontinuity at one point' in school mathematics depends on the limit processing but in academic mathematics it depends on the topology of the domain. The target function of the continuous function in school mathematics is a function whose domain is limited to an interval or a union of intervals, but the target function of the continuous function in academic mathematics is all functions. Based on these results, the following two opinions are given in relation to the concept of continuity in school mathematics. First, since the notion of local continuity in school mathematics is based on limit processing, the contents of 2009-revised textbooks that deal with discontinuity at special point not belonging to the domain is appropriate. Here the discontinuity appears as types of infinite discontinuity, removable discontinuity, and step discontinuity. Second, the definition of a general continuous function is proposed to "if there is no discontinuity point in the domain of a function y = f(x), we call the function f a continuous function." This definition allows the discontinuity at special point in non-domain, but is consistent with the definition in academic mathematics.

The purpose of this study is to understand continuity and discontinuity of the neoclassic style in early twentieth century fashion modernism. Researching relations in fashion between eighteenth to nineteenth century and twentieth century, the theory of 'linked solution' suggested by Kubler and Broadsky has been accepted. The results of this study are as follows: In early twentieth century fashion, continuity of the neoclassic style is considered as presentation of geometric form based on anatomical truth of the human body and moderation of decoration. Also simple construction to present practical purpose of the dress in honesty were continued. On the other hand, discontinuity of the style is found in the imitation of men's classic tailored suits and standardization of sizes and styles. These are considered to reflect such early twentieth century sociocultural contexts as equality of the sexes and mechanical aesthetics. Hopefully this study will contribute to the broadening of insight in fashion connecting traditions.

This study was aimed at analyzing the woman costume presented in the korean modern novel by continuity, mixture, and discontinuity. For the costume analysis, the korean modern novel written from 1910 to 1945 were used. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Continuity: It doesn't mean discontinuity from the past but succession and development of the past, which explains about the costume culture for the period from 1910 to 1919. During this period, people tended to wear korean traditional costume in an effort to maintain their national identity. 2. Mixture: It means the effort to synthesize and develop past, present and future, which explains about the apparel for the period from 1920 to 1937. During this period, western culture was introduced much into korea to be established as part of our people's life. The new generation of women who studied abroad introduced the western costume throughout the cities, while the convenient western costume served to improve korean traditional costume. 3. Discontinuity: It means a conscious departure from the past as well as a critical reaction to the past, which explains about the costume culture for the period from 1938 to 1945. For this period, western costume was popular among new generation of women, while it was more diversified with increasing population wearing them. Many country men and women proceeded to wear the western costume.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics between therapy continuity group and therapy discontinuity group and to develop management program for Korean patients with hypertension and diabetes. Methods: The subject of the study were 109 therapy continuity and 66 therapy discontinuity of Korea hypertension diabetes Daegu initiative. The data collection was performed from December 5 to December 30, 2008. Analysis of data was done by using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test and ANCOVA with SPSS program. Results: 1) The groups were significantly correlated with such variables systolic BP(F=4.518, p=0.035) and diastolic BP(F=17.793, p=0.000). 2) The groups with hypertensive were significantly correlated with such variables perceived susceptibility of disease($\chi^2$=25.053, p=0.000), perceived barrier of health behavior($\chi^2$=12.584, p=0.006), drinking($\chi^2$=27.545, p=0.000), diet($\chi^2$=8.645, p=0.013), regular taking medicine($\chi^2$=92.415, p=0.000) and regular measurement of BP($\chi^2$=6.045, p=0.049). 3) The groups with diabetic were significantly correlated with such variables perceived seriousness of disease($\chi^2$=6.128, p=0.047), perceived susceptibility of disease($\chi^2$=8.079, p=0.018), health knowledge and attitude(F=8.418, p=0.006), drinking($\chi^2$=6.276, p=0.043), diet($\chi^2$=7.275, p=0.026), regular taking medicine($\chi^2$=33.083, p=0.000) and regular measurement of glucose($\chi^2$=7.233, p=0.027). Conclusion: The above findings indicate that it is necessary to develop and apply special management programs according to the therapy discontinuity group.

Since most of companies these days are utilizing the Information system actively, Information System is the most important factor which should be recovered in terms of Business Continuity. However, a lot of enterprises have been outsourcing their Disaster Recovery Center. Therefore, it is highly possible that the information system can not work well and result in the discontinuity of business when any trouble arises because of seperated plan of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. The study draws critical success factors for successful disaster recovery through researches of 42 documents. Then, factors are reviewed through interviews with consultants, experts of Business Continuity Plan and the information system officers of domestic banks. Domestic companies can make use of the study when they develop or renew Disaster Recovery Plan or Information System in terms of Business continuity.

In this paper, we propose a new overlap and add speech synthesis method which demonstrates improved continuity performance. The proposed method uses a weighted phase error function and minimizes the wave discontinuity of the synthesis signal, rather than the phase discontinuity, to estimate the mid-point phase. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the continuity between the synthesized signals relative to the existing method.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the impact of religious participation on the depression of elder adults in USA. Specifically, this study examined how the influence of religious participation varied according to continuity or discontinuity of participation. Data from N=1,658 adults aged 65-90 who were respondents to two waves of the U.S. National survey of Families and Households 1987-1993 were used for these analyses. Depression was measured with a 12-item (of the original 20) modified version of the CES-D (Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression). Multivariate regression models controlling for several demographic variables were estimated. Some clear evidence was found supporting activity theory and continuity theory That is, participating in a religious organization role at Time 2 but not Time 1 (T1 No - T2 Yes) and being continuously involved in religious organizations both at Time 1 and Time 2 (T1 Yes -T2 Yes) were associated with reduced depression, compared to continuous nonparticipation in religious organizations (71 No -72 No).
