The purpose of this study is to explore all the deaf marriage experiences. To achieve this purpose, the qualitative case research approach was used to analyze the couple. This researcher following same issues from 5 couples case study analysis. This researcher set 5 titles and analyze from the 5 main issues about the deaf couple's experience as time goes by. The titles are 'finally the marriage spouses both deaf', 'to overcome communications difficulties', 'worried about raising children and get some help from other people and try something', 'try to get over the difficulties and hardships', 'recovering family relationship and challenge.' Through this study, understanding the deaf couples desire in having a family and live a normal life after becoming parents is "in a family deaf culture" wherein they aspire to become more mature and experienced deaf persons. But the meaning of maintaining constancy was not just keeping their situation by taking familiar things hence there were no challenges. Keeping the constancy, maintaining a family since marriage, delivering and raising their children, make them realize some laws of life. They correspond well and break the narrow limited cultural way of thinking and recognized a broader sense of understanding while keeping constancy. Their life that is keeping their culture and experiencing matured life will be a good theoretical basis for understanding the deaf culture.

The purpose of this study was to investigate what kind of experiences the deaf elderly would have in the course of life. It also aimed to promote the understanding of their living difficulties and culture among people with normal hearing and provide basic data to help them live with others as members of the community. Phenomenological qualitative research was conducted as part of the methodology. The subjects include seven deaf old people. Based on the results of in-depth interview and analysis, the life experiences of the deaf elderly were categorized into "unforgettable wounds," "life in the community," "life with the family," "marriage of the deaf elderly", and "living by adjusting to reality." First, the subcategories of "unforgettable wounds" include "receiving no treatment for fever," "damage by the Korean War," "alienation from the family," and "people's cold eyes." It turned out that the deaf elderly had led a life, suffering from the heart wounds that they could not forget. Second, the subcategories of "life in the community" include "inconvenience in life," "disadvantages in life," and "severed life." The deaf elderly were not only subjected to inconvenience and disadvantages in life, but also suffered loneliness, being cut off from the community. Third, the subcategories of "life with the family" include "not communicating with children," "being abandoned again," "being used by the family," "being lonely even with the family," and "wishing to live independently from the family." The deaf elderly were not supported by their families and were abandoned or used by them, leading a solitary life. Fourth, the subcategories of "marriage of the deaf elderly" include"send as a surrogate mother," "frequent remarriage and divorce," "lean on as a married couple." Deaf elderly form their own culture of the marriage and lean on each other. Finally, the subcategories of "living by adjusting to reality" include "getting help from neighbors," "behaving oneself right in life," "learning Hangul," "living by working," "living freely," "living by missing," and "controlling the impulse to end life," "resorting to religion." The deaf elderly made the most alienated and vulnerable group with no access to benefits due to their limitations as a linguistic and social minority, but they made efforts to form their own culture and adjust to reality for themselves. Based on those findings, the study made the following proposals: first, there is a need for practical approaches to heal the ineffaceable wounds in the hearts of deaf elderly. Second, there is a need for policies to help them experience no inconvenience and disadvantages as members of community and communicate with people with normal hearing. Third, there should be practical approaches to enable them to get recognition and support from their families and share love with them. Finally, there should be practical policy approaches to help people with normal hearing understand the culture of deaf elderly and assist the deaf elderly to receive supports from the community and live with others within the community.

This paper is a study of the film A Deaf, Sam-ryong by Na Un-kyoo released in 1929 at Choseon theater. This study compared the partial scenes of the currently remaining A Deaf, Sam-ryong with related scenarios and original works, after the restructuring of the structure of A Deaf, Sam-ryong and was written for the purpose of reviewing it. The film A Deaf, Sam-ryong is based on Na Dohyang's novel A Deaf, Sam-ryong. However, in the process of adaptation, it was a work that strongly reflected the intention of Na Un-kyoo as a scenario writer. The study of these intentions has to reorganize the remaining scenes at present and rely on research methods to compare them with related scenarios or original works. Even if a situation that makes it difficult to draw clear conclusions is drawn in this research process, we can not but dismiss the method of this research itself if we can not stop the purpose of restoring the loss of Korean cinema. As a result, this study is devised to carry out this study, which had been discontinued due to the lack of work and related data so far.

This study is significant in explaining the eSports awareness survey and future development direction of deaf people. Therefore, 189 deaf people were selected as the population, and the following conclusions were drawn by frequency analysis and t-test using SPSS 21.0 and Excel 2016. First, 67.7 percent of the 189 deaf people recognized eSports, 61.4 percent recognized it as a new sports system, and 65.6 percent participated directly or indirectly in eSports. Second, smartphones are the most common e-sports participating devices, and most of the participating events are Kartrider, which is recommended by friends. Third, the most inconvenient part of participating in eSports was the lack of eSports programs for deaf people, and the survey on whether to recommend eSports was the most likely. Fourth, the most common reason for not recognizing eSports as a new sport is that they are not actually sports, so they are not interested in participating. Fifth, there are statistically significant differences in eSports awareness, recognition and participation of deaf people by gender.

The purpose of this study is to examine possible improvements of operation of sign language interpreter qualification system through looking into specific perceptions of sign language interpreters and Deaf sign language interpreters in the field and Deaf people who use interpretation service on current sign language interpreter qualification system through focus group interview. As a result of the thematic analysis, three high-level categories were derived for each group, and as a result of recombining them, 'change to a qualification system in which sign language interpreting competency and expertise can be recognized' and 'improvement to a qualification system based on Korean Sign Language and Deaf culture' been sorted out. Based on the above research results, 'establishment of a permanent institution in charge of management and operation of sign language interpreter qualification tests', 'reorganization into a qualification system that reflects the professionalism, level and experience of sign language interpreters', 'all test questions and exam procedures are conducted mainly in sign language', 'a system in which the Deaf take the lead', and 'enactment of a code of ethics for sign language interpreters and Deaf interpreters' were suggested.

This study examined Korean sign Language of the linguistic form and the etymological forms about the origins of the Korean national sign languages. The general sign language has been shown through previous research all of place names from Chinese character except Seoul and Lmsil. And then, Sign language's form and origins which are current using in order to examine what kind of feature were analysed through interviews and publications in Korean association of the deaf people. As a result, it was analysed that was composed majority. indigenous sign language Korean place names were made and used by deaf than loan word character of Chinese characters, Hangul and loanword. When we consider that place names were correspond to a precious cultural heritage, representing the history with the culture and identity of the relevant area, we can worth of preservation and transmission to the abundant iconicity in the name of Sui.

The aim of this study was to explore and understand the communication experiences of the deaf, from their perspective. This study obtained informations through in-depth interviews with five people with deafness using sign language. The collected data was analyzed according to Giorgi's phenomenological qualitative methods. The following main themes were extracted from the practical experiences of the participants interviewed: 'being confined in the world without sound by themselves', 'learning and comprehending how to communicate', and 'looking for identity as a membership of the deaf community'. Sign language was a tool and mediator so that they could come out of their comfort zone, communicate with people, and connect to others in the deaf community. However, on the other hand, sign language had a contradictory role that restricted their activities to the deaf societies that could understand each other using sign language. As a result of this study, we can be cognizant of how much not hearing and speaking(hearing disability) is a difficulty for human beings. The implication of this study's results on policy making and actual practices are discussed focusing on the rights and well-being of the deaf.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate Korean version of Deaf Acculturation Scales(DAS). Pilot items were made a faithful translation of the Acculturation Scales of Maxwell-McCaw and Zea (2011) and were modified for Korean Deaf people. The Scale involves two dimensions, in order to measure the acculturation of Deaf people; Deaf acculturation and hearing acculturation. Using factor analysis, we developed a Korean version of DAS consisted of twenty-five items for Deaf acculturation dimension and twenty-five items for hearing acculturation dimension. These analysis supported the four factors of Deaf acculturation dimension and the five factors of hearing acculturation dimension. Reliability, assessed by Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, was .93 for Deaf acculturation and .93 for hearing acculturation, respectively, which confirm the Koran version of DAS. Construct validity was demonstrated through correlation with Deaf acculturation-related variables: age, age of Deafness, Degree of hearing loss, American Sign Language ability, and lip-reading ability. Criterion validity was supported by correlation with Collective Self-Esteem Scale. Limitation and implication of this study and direction for future research were discussed.

For the study of glucose oxidase(GOD) and catalase(CAT) coimmobilization system, the enzymes were obtained from Penicillium spp., PS-8, and the strain itself was used as an immobilizing matrix. To separate glucose oxidase and catalase after the ammonium sulfate fractionation of the culture broth, DEAF-cellulose column was used and its activity yield was 54 and 34%, respectively. Both enzymes were immobilized on the cell matrix, followed crosslinking with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 12hr. In the determination of efficiencies of GOD and CAT of dual, mixed and soluble enzyme systems, the dual immobilized one w-as superior to those of the soluble or mixed ones. In the comparison of pH profiles, the dual and mixed types showed broader maximum pH ranges than the soluble type. Varying CAT/GOD ratio of the dual system, the higher the ratio showed the broader activity profile. In the comparison of apparent $K_m$ of GOD only and CAT/GOD=10, they were $7.1{\times}10^{-2}$ and $5.1{\times}10^{-2}M$. Their activation energies showed 3.98kcal/mole/deg for GOD only and 2.98kcal/mole/deg for CAT/GOD=10.
