The authors investigated the artistic characteristics of autistic savant artists, hypotheses on the proximate and ultimate causes of their emergence, recent psychological and other studies about them, and psychological and neuroaesthetic studies about non-savant autistic individuals. The artistic features of autistic savant artists were significantly similar to those of outsider artists. Furthermore, the authors investigated the explanatory power of the paradoxical functional facilitation theory, the superior visual perception hypothesis, the "Hmmmmm" hypothesis, and the Neanderthal theory of autism regarding the emergence of autistic savant artists. In addition, we investigated whether an increase in savant characteristics was related to a decrease in the ability for social communication. The authors suggested that in studies on the aesthetic experience of non-savant autistic individuals, their aesthetic experience ability is never lower than that of neurotypical individuals and that some non-savant autistic individuals may potentially have artistic talent. Finally, the authors reviewed the effectiveness of the "autism savant spectrum syndromic disorder" proposed by some researchers. More scientific and systematic studies on autistic savant artists from a multidisciplinary perspective are warranted.

본 연구는 기존에 제기된 고령남성의 경제활동참가를 설명하는 이론(가설)이 우리나라 고령남성의 경제활동참가를 설명하기에는 부족하다는 판단아래, 노후빈곤노동가설과 숙련편향기술진보설을 적용하여 분석하였다. 자료는 통계청의 경제활동인구총괄($1965{\sim}2007$), 추계인구($1965{\sim}2007$), 임금구조기본통계($1993{\sim}2005$), 노동패널 $1{\sim}9$차 원 자료, 2005년 가계조사이며, 회귀분석은 로지스틱 분석을 활용하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 우리나라 고령남성의 경제활동참가율은 산업화가 본격적으로 이루어진 1965년 이후 증가추세를 이어가고 있어, 선진국의 감소추세와는 다르다. 둘째, $1998{\sim}2005$년까지 빈곤 고령남성의 경제활동참가율이 비빈곤 고령남성의 경제활동참가율보다 평균 5.2% 높았다. 셋째, 점점 상위 직종(고위직 및 전문가)은 비고령 계층이 차지하고, 하위 직종(단순노무직)은 고령계층이 주를 이루어가고 있었다. 넷째, 고학력자의 노동공급이 증가한 것보다 그들에 대한 노동수요는 더 크게 증가한 반면, 저학력자의 노동공급은 줄었는데, 이들에 대한 노동수요는 더 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 그 결과 대학프리미엄이 139%(1993년)에서 157.8%(2005년)로 높아졌다. 다섯째, 고령자의 경제활동 참가율을 설명하는 이론(가설)으로서, 산업화 근대화 가설은 최근 우리나라 상황에도 적용된다. 그러나 노후풍요가설은 고령자의 경제활동참가에 영향을 미치지만, 영향력은 미약하였다. 특히 노후빈곤이 노후경제활동의 주된 메커니즘으로 나타나, 본 연구에서 주장한 노후빈곤노동가설이 지지되었다. 숙련편향기술진보설은 우리나라 고령남성의 경제활동참가율을 부분적으로 설명하지만, 그 외에도 인적자본 특히 고학력보다는 고졸이면서 상대적으로 숙련편향정도가 낮은 직종의 기술 혹은 노후빈곤이 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

금소광산은 지질학적 특성에 따라 여러 다양한 유형으로 형성되며, 특정원소나 특정광물종이 농집된다. 그러므로 광물자원탐사는 지질자료와 함께 많은 지구화학적 및 지구물리자료를 종합하여 분석처리 할 필요가 있다. 최근 지구과학정보시스템(GIS)이라는 개념이 도입됨에 따라, 도입됨에 따라 다양한 지질자료를 보다 체계적으로 처리할수 있게 되었고 효율적인 광물자원탐사가 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구대상지역 (37:00N/28:30E∼37:20N/128:45E0은 국내의 대표적인 광대화로 알려진 태백산 지역으로 영남육괴의 변성암을 기반으로 하여, 조선계의 퇴적암과 중생대의 화강암으로 구성되어있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 지질자료와 함께 기보고된 지구화학 및 지구물리 탐사자료들을 디지털화하고 이를 퍼지집합이론에 적용하여 데이터통합을 시도하였다. 본 연구의 결과초써 나타난 스카른 부존가능지역이 기존의 스카론 철광산으로 알려진 신예미 광산 위치와 잘 일치하고 있으며, 이는 본 연구에서 데이터 통합에 사용된 퍼지집합이론이 태백산 지역이 스카른 광상탐사에 효과적이었음을 시사한다.

The uncanny valley is a hypothesis about robotics concerning the emotional response of humans to robots and other non-human entities. Although it stands today as one of the robots and synthetic characters, the uncanny valley was speculative and few studies have been performed to test the theory. In two experiments, a total of 183 participants were employed to explore this hypothesis. The results of experiment 1 indicate that the perceived human likeness of a robot is not a key factor causing uncanny valley. And the results of experiments 2 suggest that even if the appearance and motion of a robot become fully human, the emotional response of humans could not reach human-human empathy levels.

This study examined the time allocation pattern of husbands and wives. This study investigated i)the pattern of time allocation in the light of the extent of time spent in housework child care and leisure among husbands and wives living in urban area ii) the differences in extent of time spent in such activities between wives and husbands and iii) the determinants of time spent in such activities. A system of time allocation equations based on household production theory and several hypotheses explaining the distribution of domestic work among couples were employed. According to the results the pattern of time allocation was different between wives and husbands. Regardless of women's employment status wives were more likely to have dual responsibilities than were husbands. The time equation employed in this study had more explanatory power in the pattern of time allocation of wives than of husbands and of employed wives than of non-employed wives. The sex-role ideology hypothesis was supported for non-employed wives but not for employed wives. The time availability hypothesis was supported for the time allocation of employed wives and husbands. The economic efficiency hypothesis was supported for employed wives' time allocation.

On the basis of intertemporal utility maximization theory and stock-adjustment hypothesis, a multivariate stock-adjustment credit demand model, which included on- and cross-adjustment effects of credit and cross-adjustment effects of assets was developed. With weighted four-year panel data from 1983 and 1986 Surveys of Consumer Finances, the theoretical model was tested using two-stage estimation method for tobit model. The results supported the hypothesis that, in general, the household demand for a certain type of credit was related to the demand for other types of credit and asset components in the portfolio. The household demand for mortgage credit, installment credit and revolving credit card debt depended not only on the disequilibrium of itself but on the disequilibrium of the other types of credit and asset components in the portfolio. The household demand for non-installment credit was related not to the disequilibrium of itself and other types of credit but to the disequilibria of asset components in the portfolio.

Azheimer's Disease (AD) known as senile dementia accounts for 50％ of all dementia cases and is in growing status as population goes up. Generally. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and includes much of senile plaque in cerebral hippocampus and cortex in patient's brain. For decades. AD theory is explained by amyloid cascade hypothesis. In process of the hypothesis, amyloid hypothesis forms fibrillar form beta-amyloid peptide (A${\beta}$ peptide) and extraordinarily accumulates in brain tissue, and lastly senile plaque is formed, which pathologically affect the brain.

Purpose: This study examined the correlations between the satisfaction and effectiveness of practical training and theory lectures under two conditions: face-to-face lectures and non-face-to-face online lectures. Methods: A survey of 436 public health student, whereafter SPSS 20.0 (IBM) was used on the data to conduct frequency, descriptive statistics, and exploratory factor analyses. The Cronbach's α value was estimated in a reliability analysis, and a simple regression analysis was conducted to verify the study hypothesis. Results: It was found that the students preferred pre-recorded lectures online for both practical training and theory, claiming that when compared with face-to-face lectures, these non-face-to-face lectures meant a shorter commute and the ability to repeat the content. However, it was admitted that technical issues such as facilities or access difficulties and lower concentration could be a problem. The hypothesis that course satisfaction affects lecture effectiveness was verified, with both the practical training and theory lectures found to have a statistically significant positive (+) effect. The explanatory power of student satisfaction on the effectiveness of the theory component was slightly higher than that of the practical training component, with the students having more positive perceptions on the necessity of face-to-face lectures in practical training than they did for those in theoretical instruction. Conclusion: Providing non-face-to-face online theory courses and face-to-face practical training courses could increase student satisfaction and lecture effectiveness.

An experimental method denoted as Impulse Method is proposed as a cost-effective non-destructive technique for the on-site evaluation of concrete elastic modulus in existing structures: on the basis of Hertz's quasi-static theory of elastic impact and with the aid of a simple portable testing equipment, it makes it possible to collect series of local measurements of the elastic modulus in an easy way and in a very short time. A Hypothesis Testing procedure is developed in order to provide a statistical tool for processing the data collected by means of the Impulse Method and assessing the possible occurrence of significant variations in the elastic modulus without exceeding some prescribed error probabilities. It is based on a particular formulation of the renowned sequential probability ratio test and reveals to be optimal with respect to the error probabilities and the required number of observations, thus further improving the time-effectiveness of the Impulse Method. The results of an experimental investigation on different types of plain concrete prove the validity of the Impulse Method in estimating the unknown value of the elastic modulus and attest the effectiveness of the proposed Hypothesis Testing procedure in identifying significant variations in the elastic modulus.

Lumped damage mechanics (LDM) is a recent nonlinear theory with several applications to civil engineering structures, such as reinforced concrete and steel buildings. LDM apply key concepts of classic fracture and damage mechanics on plastic hinges. Therefore, the lumped damage models are quite successful in reproduce actual structural behaviour using concepts well-known by engineers in practice, such as ultimate moment and first cracking moment of reinforced concrete elements. So far, lumped damage models are based in the strain energy equivalence hypothesis, which is one of the fictitious states where the intact material behaviour depends on a damage variable. However, there are other possibilities, such as the energy equivalence hypothesis. Such possibilities should be explored, in order to pursue unique advantages as well as extend the LDM framework. Therewith, a lumped damage model based on the energy equivalence hypothesis is proposed in this paper. The proposed model was idealised for reinforced concrete structures, where a damage variable accounts for concrete cracking and the plastic rotation represents reinforcement yielding. The obtained results show that the proposed model is quite accurate compared to experimental responses.
