The purpose of this study is to investigate the difficulties of teachers and students on the unit about 'measuring weight.' In this research, we have acquired data about teachers through survey, interview, and self-reflection journals, at the same time we have collected information on the students through survey, assessment test, and interview. We have extracted the difficulties from analysis with constant comparison method. In addition, we have analysed the curriculum of science and mathematics to know the leaning sequence. The analysis had been checked up by experts in science education. The result of the study is as follows: The difficulties of teachers are from the lack of teachers' descriptive knowledge, disorder of conceptual hierarchy in the curriculum, poor experimental instruments, and low psychomotor skill of students. The difficulties of students are from common misconceptions, opaque concepts, lack of manipulation skill, insufficiency of mathematical ability, difficulty of application of principles to the real situation, and lack of problem-solving ability. In addition, teachers have recognized that students face more difficulties in experiment class, while students think that they face more difficulties in conceptual understanding class.

There is a general challenge offered to the field of engineering economics by the introduction of advanced technologies. A survey of the existing literature on evaluation of advanced information and manufacturing system indicate that the traditional approaches are inadequate for economic evaluation techniques used in its appraisal, difficulty in evaluating the potential benefits and criteria used to assess management performance. In this paper, an attempt has been made to overcome the above deficiencies by presenting an approach to account for the justification and selection of the Local Area Network(LAN) architectures. This is based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) and is capable of taking into account many intangible factors as well. The usefulness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a case situation and sensitivity analysis. Finally, some research directions for future work are identified.

The launch of a new business is crucial to the future growth and profitability of a company. A new business project typically requires a large amount of resources while it has a high possibility of failure. The evaluation of new business opportunities is therefore quite a critical decision-making to companies. This evaluation includes screening of a large number of criteria at a time which often makes desision-making very complicated. Management should evaluate the business alternatives in a sound and consistent manner that is hard to achieve because the new business evaluation is a typical semi/unstructured decision-making problem. The difficulty in such an evaluation will increase if it is required for management to consider both quantitative and qualitative criteria simultaneously. Under these circumstances, this study has proposed a decision-making framework that utilizes analytical hierarchy process(AHP). This study has identified a set of criteria essential to the new business evaluation and suggested a systematic framework for it. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations are incorporated into the single framework in this study.

This study had its objective to indentify the basic biological concepts as recommended by scholars in biology and by high school biology teachers for inclussion in the high school biology curriculum and to determine the importance levels of the concepts. The scholars for this study were selected to insure that their majors are evenly distributed across the biological areas. The final concept list contains 137 biological concepts along with their importance level judged by the scholars and high school biology teachers. The biological concepts are categorized into 12 biological areas. This study suggests that the concepts in the final list can not refect the conceptual hierarchy or inclusiveness, goals or objectives of biology education in the high school, and difficulty levels of the concepts. This study also claims that the concept list like the one produced by this study should be successively' checked and revised due to the continuous development of biological knowledge system and the constant change in the meanings of the knowledge system.

Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions has become a climate crisis that actually threatens us and is making global efforts to solve it. In response, Korea is carrying out a "Green remodeling" project to reduce carbon emissions generated in the building maintenance stage, which has the highest percentage of all carbon emissions. However, Green remodeling is carried out under emergency supervision at the construction stage, but construction supervisors are often non-professionals, and even experienced site directors have difficulty in implementing actual designs if they do not have experience in Green remodeling construction. Therefore, this study aims to derive priorities between construction and construction focus points for each construction in order to standardize the construction of Green remodeling construction works and derive objective guidelines.

This study intended to search improvement plan of welfare service based on welfare desire research in order to raise the effectiveness of welfare service for youth in multicultural family. The result of study is that youth in multicultural family has a difficulty in study and home problem. As a result of examination to hierarchy needs in daily life, youth in normal family showed higher desire of membership and love(t=-2.006, p<.05) than youth in multicultural family. Youth in multicultural family showed higher desire of self-realization(t=-4.636, p<.05) than youth in normal family. In result of hierarchy needs of welfare, it is indicated that youth in multicultural family has higher desire of safety(t=7.607, p<.05), desire of membership and love(t=8.346, p<.05), desire of self-respect(t=4.683, p<.05), and desire of self-realization(t=2.199, p<.05). Therefore, welfare service for youth in multicultural family needs the cooperation with community and improvement of speciality of welfare service employees based on unitary integrated system and requires the development of indices to reflect the desire of beneficiary.

Due to the enhancing environmental concerns worldwide with the need of increasing demand for sustainability of building design, maintenance and operation, key stakeholders including the government and developers in many countries strike for the benefits in implementing the green design and building concepts in constructing, infrastructure as well as the buildings. Different countries have their standards or certifications for green buildings while the adoption rate of BEAM-Plus in HK is relatively less compared with other developed countries such as Europe, USA and Japan. Therefore, in the present research, BEAM-Plus, the beginning assessment method of green standard implemented in HK, will be mainly discussed. Current situation of BEAM-Plus implementation in HK will be reviewed and then adopt a systematic approach via literature review and research paper, questionnaire with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to depict the opportunities and challenges from the perspective of government and developers regarding implementing BEAM-Plus in HK and thus investigate the implementation gaps. It is found that for both the macro level of opportunity and challenge, the most important criterion is political, in which the weighting value are 0.3114 and 0.2321 respectively. It is obvious that government plays a critical and significant role in affecting the development of BEAM plus. Technological difficulty is also an important factor that challenging and hindering the implementation of BEAM plus, the weighting value is 0.2194 under challenge hierarchy. More experts and professionals should be imported to Hong Kong to enhance the technique is building green buildings. At the end of this paper, solutions and actions will also be suggested and concluded in alleviating the challenges. Finally, solutions and actions are suggested and concluded in alleviating the challenges. Findings from this research can guide developers to consider adopting green elements, government and Green Building Council in HK to review green buildings' policy.

In the existing text sentiment analysis models, the entire text is usually directly modeled as a whole, and the hierarchical relationship between text contents is less considered. However, in the practice of sentiment analysis, many texts are mixed with multiple emotions. If the semantic modeling of the whole is directly performed, it may increase the difficulty of the sentiment analysis model to judge the sentiment, making the model difficult to apply to the classification of mixed-sentiment sentences. Therefore, this paper proposes a sentiment analysis model BHGCN that considers the text hierarchy. In this model, the output of hidden states of each layer of BERT is used as a node, and a directed connection is made between the upper and lower layers to construct a graph network with a semantic hierarchy. The model not only pays attention to layer-by-layer semantics, but also pays attention to hierarchical relationships. Suitable for handling mixed sentiment classification tasks. The comparative experimental results show that the BHGCN model exhibits obvious competitive advantages.
