  • This study was conducted to develop and apply a computer-based multimedia nutrition education program for preschoolers based on the Dick and Carey model of instructional design. The Dick and Carey model included 4 phases: analysis, design, development, and evaluation. The program's instructional goals, objectives, assessment instruments, content, examples, and practice questions with feedback were written in the design phase. To be familiar with the 5 food groups, 'Nutrition exploration' were programmed using Hyperstudio. 'Nutrition exploration' was designed as a five-session, interactive multimedia game, with each session taking about 5 minutes to complete. Nineteen preschoolers, aged 6, volunteered to participate formative evaluation. The effectiveness of the program was examined using a pre-post test design. Participants were recruited by personal contact at the individual preschool education center. The application was carried out during 4 weeks. The results showed that intervention participants significantly increased knowledge between pre-test and post-test. The results support using IMM (interactive multimedia) to disseminate nutrition education to the target population. This research provides the basis for continuing development of computer-based nutrition education materials.

  • We have performed the first self-consistent, large-scale simulation of cosmic reionization by stellar sources, including the Population III stars that emerged and were hosted by minihalos at very high redshifts (z~40). Based on this result, we calculate the redshifted radiation background from these stars and the relic H II regions which can be observed at near-infrared and infrared regime. Formation of the first stars inside minihalos are quenched by radiative feedback at z~15, while the relic H II regions have much longer lifetime due to the slow recombination rate. Therefore, the radiation output from the relic H II regions, dominated by Lyman alpha photons, will be observed both in the near-infrared and infrared regime. The estimated background from the first stars inside minihalos are still sub-dominant compared to that from stars inside larger halos, however, and thus complementary observations are necessary, such as redshifted 21-cm line observation.

  • This paper presents a new evolutionary algorithm to solve complex multi-level integration problems, which is called multi-level symbiotic evolutionary algorithm (MEA). The MEA uses an efficient feedback mechanism to flow evolution information between and within levels, to enhance parallel search capability, and to improve convergence speed and population diversity. To show the MEA's applicability, It is applied to the integrated planning of production and distribution in supply chain management. The encoding and decoding methods are devised for the integrated problem. A set of experiments has been carried out, and the results are reported. The superiority of the algorithm's performance is demonstrated through experiments.

  • This work develops a monitoring system for the population with health concerns. A belt integrated with an on-body circuit and sensors measures a wearer's selected vital signals. The electrocardiogram sensors monitor heart conditions and an accelerometer assesses the level of physical activity. Sensed signals are transmitted to the circuit module through digital yarns and are forwarded to a mobile device via Bluetooth. An interactive application, installed on the mobile device, is used to process the received signals and provide users with real-time feedback about their status. Persuasive functions are designed and implemented in the interactive application to encourage users' physical activity. Two signal processing algorithms are developed to analyze the data regarding heart and activity. A user study is conducted to evaluate the performance and usability of the developed system.

  • 세계적으로 이공계 고급인력의 배출이 감소세이고, 특히 우리나라의 경우에는 생산가능 인구 증가율과 경제활동 인구 증가율이 모두 감소하는데다가 인구 고령화의 속도도 가장 빠를 뿐만 아니라 출산률은 오히려 하향하여 미래 핵심인재 확보가 더욱 어려운 현실이다. 국내외의 각 정책이나 프로그램은 모두 외국인 인재의 유치-생활지원-활용까지의 단계별 지원책을 포함하고 있으며, 이는 다시 재정지원, 법무지원, 사회 문화적 지원의 요소별로 분류하여 수렴해볼 수 있었다. FLS조건과 Brain Internalization Process의 정책모형이 실효성(efficacy)과 활용성(applicability)을 확보할 수 있도록 시스템 사고법(Systems Thinking)을 적용하여 검증하였다. 정책모형을 둘러싼 모든 피드백 루프(feedback loop)를 인식함으로써 정책의 시행으로 발생할 수 있는 부작용을 최소화하고, 이를 위해 인과루프지도(causal loop diagram)를 활용하여 정책보완책을 모색하였다. 본 FLS 조건과 Brain Internalization Process를 활용함으로써 정부나각 대학의 외국인 인재 유치정책이 하나의 통일된 틀 안에서 체계적으로 수립 및 추진될 수 있고, 결과적으로 우리나라의 외국인 인재 유치 정책이 일관되고 표준화된 형태를 형성함으로써 외국인 인재 유치 및 활용에 대한 국제 경쟁력을 제고 하고자 한다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 포도당을 자연의 저질기반 미생물연료전지에 주입할 경우 전기생산을 최적화하기 위한 것이며, 이 때 관련된 미생물의 군집을 분석하고 관련미생물의 역할을 검토하고자 하였다. 1,000 mg/L의 포도당이 주입되었을 때 생성되는 전류가 약 3배 가량 증가하였다. 이러한 증가는 주로 발효세균과 전기생성세균의 상호작용에 기인하는 것으로서, 이는 발효미생물에 의해 생성된 유기산이 전기생성 미생물에 의해서 분해되므로 유기산의 축적을 방지하여 되먹임저해(feedback inhibition) 현상을 감소 시키는데 그 원인이 있는 것으로 보인다. 반면, 더 높은 농도의 포도당이 주입되었을 시에는 전류가 떨어지거나 큰 증가가 일어나지 않았다. 만약 적절한 농도의 포도당이 주입될 시, 전기생성 미생물과 발효미생물이 동시에 포도당을 분해하면서 피드백을 제거하며 전류생성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 포도당을 토양에 주입하였을 시에 Clostridium sp.과 같은 발효미생물이 많이 나타났다. 포도당의 발효는 전기생성에 있어서 긍정적 영향과 부정적 영향을 미칠 수 있음이 밝혀졌다. 즉 발효산물이 전기생성미생물에 의해서 분해되어서 사용된다면 전기생성이 증가한다. 하지만, 발효산물이 전기생성미생물에 의해서 분해되지 못한다면 여러 전기생성을 억제하는 화학적반응(pH 저하, 메탄생성, 유기산 축적 등)이 일어나고 미생물연료전지와 관계없는 미생물들이 주입된 유기물을 대부분 분해하여 전기생성이 저하될 수 있음이 밝혀졌다. 적절한 농도의 포도당 주입을 통한 발효세균(Clostridium sp. 등)과 전기발생균(Geobacter sp. 등)의 적절한 조합은 자연상태에서의 혼합미생물존재 환경에서의 전기생산을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • The comparative study of the administration policy that the government and the local self-governing body have enforced to a handicapped child and the family, was made in South Korea and Japan. As data, I utilized brochures distributed to a handicapped child's guardian in the government publication, health center, and hospital of both countries and the homepage that each organization manages. With the investigation of (1) the handicapped child's present condition, population and entering-school situation, (2) the organization which can consult about a juvenile entering-school problem, (3) the public service with which the parents of handicapped child, or a handicapped child are provided and (4) the feedback surveys of (3)’s services, the followings were proved. In (1), the handicapped child's population and their school attendance are not be specified by the South Korea side. In (2), a private consultation organization is mainly opened and be hard to say that use is simple from the little of a kind. In (3), there is almost nothing than rehabilitation education as the administration policy, which is universally held for the handicapped child. Besides they cannot receive freely the education. In (4), it became clear not to carry out. The improvement from the direction of both hard and soft aspects - the institution of basic education for the handicapped child who lives in all areas and the equal opportunity to all children - is called for urgently.

  • Background: Disabling fatigue is common in the working age population. It is essential that occupational health (OH) professionals are up-to-date with the management of fatigue in order to reduce the impact of fatigue on workplace productivity. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of one-day workshops on OH professionals' knowledge of fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and their confidence in diagnosing and managing these in a working population. Methods: Five interactive problem-based workshops were held in the United Kingdom. These workshops were developed and delivered by experts in the field. Questionnaires were self-administered immediately prior to, immediately after, and 4 months following each workshop. Questionnaires included measures of satisfaction, knowledge of fatigue and CFS, and confidence in diagnosing and managing fatigue. Open-ended questions were used to elicit feedback about the workshops. Results: General knowledge of fatigue increased significantly after training (with a 25% increase in the median score). Participants showed significantly higher levels of confidence in diagnosing and managing CFS (with a 62.5% increase in the median score), and high scores were maintained 4 months after the workshops. OH physicians scored higher on knowledge and confidence than nurses. Similarly, thematic analysis revealed that participants had increased knowledge and confidence after attending the workshops. Conclusion: Fatigue can lead to severe functional impairment with adverse workplace outcomes. One-day workshops can be effective in training OH professionals in how to diagnose and manage fatigue and CFS. Training may increase general knowledge of fatigue and confidence in fatigue management in an OH setting.

  • Strong outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play a crucial role in galaxy evolution. Integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) is the most powerful tool to study the detailed kinematics of AGN outflows. We present the on-going optical 3D spectroscopic survey of ionized gas outflows. Type 2 AGN sample is uniquely selected from SDSS DR7 with a luminosity-limit (i.e., L[O III] > $10^{41.5}erg/s$) as well as strong kinematic signatures of ionized gas outflows ([O III] velocity shift > ~200 km/s or [O III] velocity dispersion (FWHM) > 1000 km/s), defining an extremely rare population (< ~0.5%). Thus, these AGNs with strong outflow signatures are one of the best suites for investigating AGN feedback. The IFS observations cover several kpc scales for the central region of the host galaxies, providing a detailed information of the kinematics and geometry of the gas outflows. In this contribution, we report the current status of the survey and the preliminary results on gas kinematics of 18 AGNs, based on the Magellan/IMACS-IFU and the VLT/VIMOS data.
