( Eugene Kwon ),( Soowoong Hwang ),( Jungjoon Kim ),( Ilhyeok Park ) 한국스포츠정책과학원 2023 International Journal of Applied Sports Sciences Vol.35 No.1

The term “sports welfare” has been widely used in South Korean society for over a decade. In contrast, the academic definition of it remains largely undefined, which led to inefficiency in the policies regarding sports welfare. This paper quantifies the degree of sports welfare on a first-level division basis by developing a composite index model through three rounds of Delphi surveys and an Analytic hierarchy process. 5 Key factors and 13 sub-factors were identified to composite the Index, and the index values were calculated by applying data collected from national sources. As a result, most “Do”s scored higher than “Si”s overall, while South Jeolla Do showed the highest (109.5) and Sejong Si showed the lowest (92.1). We expect the results to shed light on the concept of sports welfare and provide guidance on comparing the sports welfare level between regions.

이야기 다시말하기(story-retelling) 과제를 통한 초등 저학년 아동의 이야기 능력

권유진(Eugene Kwon),배소영(So Yeong Pae) 한국언어청각임상학회 2006 Communication Sciences and Disorders Vol.11 No.2

이야기 과제를 이용한 평가는 아동의 이야기 구성 능력 뿐 아니라 언어적 표현 능력까지 파악할 수 있다는 장점이 있고 특히 담화상황의 평가가 중시되는 학령기 아동에게는 더욱 유용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 초등 저학년 아동의 이야기 구성, 구문 표현, 결속표지 사용의 능력을 살펴보고 이 세 요소들 간의 상관관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 이야기 구성력인 이야기문법명제회상율, 에피소드 구성점수와 구문 표현력인 주절 및 종속절의 수, C-unit당 절의 수, 복잡한 구문의 수가 학년 상승에 따라 증가하였다. 결속표지 사용능력인 적절한 결속표지의 수는 학년 상승에 따라 증가하였고, 부적절한 결속표지 사용율은 감소하였다. 또한 이야기문법명제회상율과 C-unit당 절의 수 그리고 적절한 결속표지 수의 세 요소는 정적인 상관관계를 보였다. 이 같은 결과는 우리나라 초등 저학년 아동의 이야기구성력, 구문 표현력, 결속표지 사용능력이 학년에 따라 발달함을 보여주는 것이며 이 세 요소들이 모두 함께 발달함을 보여준다. 이는 학령기 아동의 언어평가 및 치료에서 구문 표현 뿐만 아니라 이야기 구성과 결속표지의 사용을 모두 고려해야 함을 시사한다. Little is known about the narrative ability of school-aged children in Korea. This study addresses the narrative ability of 30 Korean, school-aged children in first to third grades. The children’s story-retelling productions were analyzed by three measures: story composition, syntactic expression and use of cohesive devices. Each measure has several variables. The measure of story composition consists of two variables: the percentage of story grammar recall and the complete episode composition scale. The number of main clauses and subordinate clauses, the number of subordinate clauses in a C-unit and the number of complex syntactic C-units are contained in the measure of syntactic expression. The measure of cohesive devices includes variables of the number of adequate cohesive devices and the percentage of inadequate cohesive devices. In all variables of the three measures, narrative ability developed with increasing grade from 1st to 3rd. The three measures were strongly, positively and significantly correlated with the following variables: the percentage of story grammar recall, complete episode composition scale, the number of subordinate clauses in a C-unit and the number of adequate cohesive devices. This result implies that story composition, syntactic expression and use of cohesive devices are all very important for language assessment and intervention in Korean-speaking children.

초등 저학년 아스퍼거증후군 아동의 구문 표현 능력

권유진(Eugene Kwon) 한국언어청각임상학회 2010 Communication Sciences and Disorders Vol.15 No.2

배경 및 목적: 아스퍼거증후군 아동은 초기 언어발달 과정에서 심각한 지체를 보이지 않고다만, 사회적 언어의 사용에 제한이 있다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 화용적 측면에 대한 연구들은많이 있으나, 구문적 측면에는 별로 관심을 기울이지 않았다. 그러나 초기 언어발달과정과는달리 학령기에는 길고 복잡한 구문의 사용이 요구되므로 이 부분에서 일반 아이들과 차이가있는지에 대해 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 길고 복잡한 문장 표현이 요구되는 이야기다시말하기 과제를 통해서 아스퍼거증후군 아동의 구문 표현 능력을 살펴보았다. 방법: 초등학교 저학년 아스퍼거증후군 아동 집단과 두 일반아동 집단에게 글자 없는 그림과 그 내용을제시한 뒤 아동에게 다시 말하게 하였다. 이후 전사된 아동의 발화를 총 C-unit(Communicationunit) 수, 총 종속절 수 및 유형별 종속절(부사절, 명사절, 관형절, 인용절) 수, C-unit 당 평균절 수(Mean Number of Clauses in a C-unit) 등 네 가지 변수로 분석하였다. 일반 아동집단은 언어이해 일치집단과 이야기문법 회상율(%) 일치집단으로 나누어 분석 결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 아스퍼거증후군 아동집단과 두 일반 아동집단 사이에 총 C-unit 수에서는 유의한차이를 보이지 않았으나 총 종속절의 수와 C-unit당 절의 수에서는 아스퍼거증후군 집단이 두 일반아동 집단에 비해 유의하게 낮은 능력을 보였다. 종속절 유형별로는 언어이해 일치집단과는 부사절, 관형사절, 인용절에서, 이야기문법 회상율(%) 일치집단과는 부사절에서 유의하게 낮은 능력을 보였다. 논의 및 결론: 이 연구를 통해 이야기의 전체 길이 측면에서는 일반아동과 유사하지만 이를 복잡한 구문으로 표현하는 것을 어려워하는 아스퍼거증후군 아동의구문적 특징을 볼 수 있었다. 즉, 학령기 아스퍼거증후군 아동의 경우 복잡한 구문 표현에어려움이 있을 수 있으므로 언어 평가 및 중재 시 이 부분에 대해 고려할 필요가 있다. Background&Objectives: Asperger’s syndrome(AS) is a disorder characterized by autistic social deficit and subtle communication impairment. There is no history of language delay or mental retardation in the course of their early development. Despite these diagnostic criteria, numerous studies have shown that the children are limited in their social-emotional and communicative competences. Story-retelling task is one of the most useful tools for assessing complex sentence expression ability. This study addresses the abilities to use syntax expression in school-aged individuals with AS in Korea. Methods: Sixteen AS and 32 normal children were asked to retell a story from a wordless picture book ‘Frog, where are you?’(Mayer, 1969). The 32 normal children were divided evenly into two groups: a receptive language-matched normal group (language-matched) and a percent of story grammar-matched normal group (story-matched). The children’s syntactic abilities were analyzed by the total number of C-units, the total number of subordinate clauses, and the mean number of clauses in a C-unit that were contained in their retold stories. Results: For all variables, AS children showed more limited abilities than two normal children groups, except the total number of C-units. Discussion & Conclusion: This result implies the syntactic expression ability of AS children is lower than normal children although the ability of receptive language or story retelling are similar each other. Therefore, complex sentence expression should be an important consideration for language assessment and intervention in school-aged children with Asperger’s syndrome

Problems and proposed solution for the regulation of veterinary narcostic pharmaceuticals

Eugene Park,MinJoo Kwon,Yeonseo Park,Nonghoon Choe 한국예방수의학회 2023 예방수의학회지 Vol.47 No.4

Currently, the number of animals administered in animal hospitals and drugs prescriptions has increased. At the same time, the number of cases of violation of administrative measures due to violations of the Narcotics Control Act has also increased. Therefore, it is necessary to review whether the current status of drug prescriptions, management and supervision systems in animal hospitals are correct and whether there is anything to be supplemented. Although drug handling is managed through NIMS, there are problems such as poor supervision due to the NIMS single system, reporting exceptions that form blind spots for management supervision, and lack of connection between prescriptions and medical departments within the system. In order to overcome these problems, the following improvement plans are proposed. First, reduces the hassle of handling reports and facilitates verification of medical records and prescriptions by strengthening the link between NIMS and animal hospital electronic charts, and strengthens the link between drug handling reports of medical institutions and drug handling reports of animal hospitals to prevent exposure to medical shopping. Second, by introducing a preliminary notification system into the veterinary system, drug misuse is prevented through prior notification in accordance with the criteria for preventing misuse of animal drugs. Third, by modifying the NIMS reporting system by introducing disease classification symbols, the exact cause of the increase in use is identified by preparing drug use data for each disease. Based on these improvements, it is expected that a management system that reflects the actual medical environment of animal hospitals will be established and drug abuse will be prevented based on guidelines.

Social Support Determines Consumer Performance of Environment-friendly Behaviors

Eugene Song,Seol A Kwon 위기관리 이론과 실천 2020 Journal of Safety and Crisis Management Vol.10 No.3

Environmental degradation is a global problem. In South Korea, despite an increase in environment-friendly attitudes, such behaviors and actions have been declining. This study examines the impact of social support on environment-friendly behaviors and explores potential measures to improve social support. An online questionnaire was conducted with 1,000 participants. The group with high social support showed a higher level of performance in terms of environment-friendly behaviors compared with the group with low social support. In the group with lower social support, higher emotional support and material support were associated with an increase in environment-friendly behaviors. In the group with high social support, all social support variables were significantly high, especially the effect of material support. Based on these results, we conclude that inducing emotional encouragement and support could enhance environment-friendly behaviors among the group with low social support. The group with high social support must be strengthened by providing material support to enhance environment-friendly behaviors.

The Computer may be the single most important invention in music history. Even today, we may not know its entire capacity, the whole scope of its application, or the implication on future developments in music theory. Yet, the computer is now considered the most powerful musical instrument, surpassing the power of the organ, the former "King of instrument", and even surpassing the power of the largest orchestra of the world. Even the profound influence of the keyboard instruments on the entire concept of music, pales in comparison to the effect that the computer will have on music history. The following chapters will constitute the main part of the paper: 1. A Brief History in Computer Music 2. The Physical Nature of Sound 3. The Basic Concepts of Sound Synthesis 4.1 The Fundamental Techniques of Sound Synthesis 4.2 Music Composition with Computer 5.1 The Fundamental Techniques of Signal Analysis 5.2 Music Research with Computer 6.1 Possible Computer Music Curricula Undergraduate Study 6.2 Possible Computer Music Curricula Graduate Study 7.1 Possible Hardware Configuration for a Computer Studio 7.2 Lists of Software for Computer Music 8. Interview with Dr. Charles Dodge and Curtis Bahn From the beginning, just intonation, unequal division of an octave, and microtonality have been a part of Asian music history. However, the lack of technical means limited scientific investigation and theorizing beyond concepts based upon the twelve equal divisions of an octave. It also made the performance of unequal tempered music impractical with other than native Asian instruments. Korean composers and theorists, by combining their appreciation of a rich Asian music heritage with the increasing use of new technologies in music research and composition have arrived upon a new vast music frontier, since a complex mathematical calculation can be done quickly and efficiently with extreme precision in the digital circuits of a computer. And any musical signal can be represented by a mathematical algorithm. With the computer, they may explore entirely novel arrangements in tuning systems and complementary spectra in a new world of microtonality or supratonality. To overcome present limitations, we must realize that computer music depends not so much on hardware development, but on software development so that computer music of the future should be guided purely by musical considerations.

Biomimetic Porous PLGA Scaffolds Incorporating Decellularized Extracellular Matrix for Kidney Tissue Regeneration

Lih, Eugene,Park, Ki Wan,Chun, So Young,Kim, Hyuncheol,Kwon, Tae Gyun,Joung, Yoon Ki,Han, Dong Keun American Chemical Society 2016 ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol.8 No.33

<P>Chronic kidney disease is now recognized as a major health problem, but current therapies including dialysis and renal replacement have many limitations. Consequently, biodegradable scaffolds to help repairing injured tissue are emerging as a promising approach in the field of kidney tissue engineering. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a useful biomedical material, but its insufficient biocompatibility caused a reduction in cell behavior and function. In this work, we developed the kidney-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) incorporated PLGA scaffolds as a cell supporting material for kidney tissue regeneration. Biomimetic PLGA scaffolds (PLGA/ECM) with different ECM concentrations were prepared by an ice particle leaching method, and their physicochemical and mechanical properties were characterized through various analyses. The proliferation of renal cortical epithelial cells on the PLGA/ECM scaffolds increased with an increase in ECM concentrations (0.2, 1, 5, and 10%) in scaffolds. The PLGA scaffold containing 10% of ECM has been shown to be an effective matrix for the repair and reconstitution of glomerulus and blood vessels in partially nephrectomized mice in vivo, compared with only PLGA control. These results suggest that not only can the tissue-engineering techniques be an effective alternative method for treatment of kidney diseases, but also the ECM incorporated PLGA scaffolds could be promising materials for biomedical applications including tissue engineered scaffolds and biodegradable implants.</P>

도민안전보험 보장항목 및 보장금액 개선방안 연구: 충북지역을 중심으로

권설아 ( Kwon¸ Seol A ),변성수 ( Byun¸ Sung Soo ),송유진 ( Song¸ Eugene ) 동의대학교 지방자치연구소 2021 공공정책연구 Vol.38 No.2

본 연구는 도민안전보험의 보장항목과 보장금액을 평가하여 지역 특색에 맞는 개선방안을 도출함으로써 도민안전보험제도를 효과적으로 운영하고 조기에 정착시키기 위한 방안을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구결과 지역민의 도민안전보험 인지도가 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 기존의 보장항목은 유지하되 보장금액을 지역 상황에 맞도록 조정할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 지자체는 미디어, SNS 등 다양한 정보전달 수단을 통해 도민안전 보험 제도를 적극적으로 홍보하여 인지도를 높여야 하며, 보장금액의 조정은 지역민의 수요를 충족시킬 수 있는 범위 내에서 이루어져야 한다. 또한 도민들의 사회불안요소들을 미리 파악하여 새로운 보험항목 개발하여 추가할 필요가 있다. The purpose of this study is to assess the Safety Insurance for Residents of Province in coverage items and amounts and identify their improvement measures. The findings show a need to adjust coverage amounts according to local features, which includes keeping old coverage items and developing new coverage items for Safety Insurance for Residents by reflecting the local residents’ demand for new coverage items and expert opinions about them. By putting together these findings, the study made the following proposals to improve Safety Insurance for Residents and to promote its appropriate settlement: first, it is needed to promote and introduce a system of Safety Insurance for Residents in various ways so that the residents will have higher awareness of the insurance; secondly, there is a need to adjust insurance coverage amounts according to the current states of local accidents and facilities while keeping the old coverage items; and finally, it is required to identify the elements of social anxiety among the local residents in advance and add them as insurance items in addition to the old coverage items.
