The purpose of this thesis is to compare the efficiency of 3D digital design technology with traditional hand-drawn designs of a transformable dress for a small wedding. After reviewing the literature, this empirical study analyzed the tendencies of small wedding dress design, concluding that a transformable dress for a small wedding consists of a bodice, skirt, and outer skirt or gown with train, each of which has five possible designs, resulting in 15 virtual items within the 3D program. The 3D program provides the benefit of easy design development as well as reduced costs and design time. Specifically, the random combination of 15 items with layers in the 3D program produced 150 different styles in 5 hours, while hand-drawing 150 dresses took 50 hours. Moreover, the 3D program does not need any material, but 150 physical drawings required a sketchbook, pencil, eraser, and marker, total cost 31,100 won. Additionally, the 3D whole-body scan helps the bride decide which design she prefers through virtual try-ons. Eventually, the 3D program could help a bride decide what she prefers and produce it with virtual simulation, resulting in reduced time and costs.

裝飾藝術이 Paul Poiret의 服飾디자인에 미친 영향 : 20世紀初 프랑스를 中心으로

裵水晶 全南大學校家政科學硏究所 1991 生活科學硏究 Vol.1 No.-

This thesis is on the relation between the undercurrent of arts and the mode in a turning point to 20th century. The changes of the values from the end of 19th century to the 20th century has caused the collapse of the existing values on the science, humanity, life style and idea. At the transition period, the modern art started. The fineart and mode showed various and complicated phenomena in their way of expressions. It will be meaningful to analize this changes of arts and mode on the present point of view, and to search the roots of current mode and aesthetic sence. The costume in the 20th century seems to start with 'Art Nouveau'and 'Art Deco','Purity' corresponding with the undercurrent of modern art has been investigated through couturier Paul Poiret's work who played an revolutional role in the changing period from the end of 19th century to the 20th century. Paul Poiret has the modern expression by presenting new form, which is considered as a trend to purity in the costume as well as in their arts. His modern idea has been shown in body's natural beauty without corset, but has been limited by excessive ornamentation and restraint of body (hobble skirt). One the other hand, he has opened new horizon on color influenced by the orientalism. The color has been the important characteristic of the mode, resulted from using the primary and from Russian ballet, China, Japan, Persia, Morocco. However, he has failed in understanding of the social changes and of the real idea of Art Deco, because he didn't recognize the real functionalism and the importance of the new spirit(Esprit Nouveau). Notwithstanding his failure, he has been called a originator of the modern fashion, considering that he originally tried to combine the art factors like form and color. Furthermore we can find the sources of modern fashion and aesthetic sense in Poiret's works which is connected with the decorative art, Art Deco. The sources of modern fashion and aesthetic sense in the beginning 20th century, is Art Deco, after all.

연구목적: 캄보디아 서북부의 바탐방, 뽀삿, 파일린 지역은 사회기반시설이 부족하고 지역간 큰 격차가 존재한다. 또한 양질의 의료서비스 공급 부족으로 모성보건지표도 낮다. 본 연구는 한국국제보건의료재단(KOFIH)이 수행하 는 캄보디아 모자보건 사업의 대상인 3개 지역에서의 산후조리실천에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구의 중요성: 본 연구는 캄보디아 서북부지역의 가임기 여성의 사회경제적 특성과 산후 건강관리의 관련성을 이해하기 위한 의미 있는 연구이다. 연구방법론: 최근 2년 내 임신 경험이 있는 가임기 여성 705명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 사회인구학적 특성과 산후 건강관리와 관련된 변수의 연관성 파악을 위해 카이제곱 분석을 실시하였다. 산후 건강관리 실천에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 적용하였다. 연구결과: 세 지역 모두 10~29세의 비율이 가장 높았다. 사회경제적 특성에 따른 산후 건강관리 실천은 지역, 연령, 남편의 직업, 교통수단, 주거여건에 따라 차이가 있었다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 파일린 지역의 산후 건강관리 실천율은 바탐방보다 2.12배 높았고(p=0.004), 주거여건이 좋은 여성은 열악한 여성보다 산후 건강관리 실천율이 1.61배 높았다(p=0.003). 결론 및 시사점: 캄보디아 서북부 지역의 산후 건강관리 실천율 개선을 위해서 보건의료 접근성 확대를 위한 물리적 인프라 지원, 사회적 자본 확충, 산후 건강관리 중요성에 대한 교육 기회 확대 등 지역간 격차를 줄이는 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Purpose: Lack of social infrastructure and large regional gaps exist in Cambodia and in particular, Battambang, Pursat, and Pailin in the northwest area. Maternal and Child Health indicators are also low due to insufficient supply of quality health care services. The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting postnatal care (PNC) practice in three target provinces of the Cambodian 2nd Integrated Maternal and Child Healthcare Project supported by Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH). Originality: This is a valuable study to understand the relevance of PNC practice to socio-economic levels of childbearing aged women in Northwestern Cambodia. Methodology: A comprehensive survey was conducted on 705 women of childbearing age in the project area who had experience in pregnancy within the last two years. Chi-square analyses were performed to identify the relationships between socio-economic characteristics and variables related to PNC. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting PNC practice. Result: The proportion of 10-29 years old was the highest in all three regions. The behavior of PNC according to socio-economic characteristics was significantly different by region, age, husband’s job, transportation like motorcycles, and residential conditions like water pump, electricity. In the results of multiple logistic regression analyses, the PNC practice rate in Pailin was 2.12 times higher than that of Battambang (p=0.004), and women with good residential conditions had 1.61 times higher practice than that of women with poor residential conditions for PNC (p=0.003). Conclusions and Implication: PNC is the care necessary for the mother and her newborn baby after delivery. We found that women have the different practice rates of PNC according to their regions and living conditions. Therefore, in order to improve PNC practice rates, the government should make efforts to reduce the gap between regions such as supporting physical infrastructure to expand accessibility, increasing social capital, and expanding educational opportunities for the importance of PNC.

이수정(Soojeong Lee),박우정(Woo Jung Park),박찬국(Chan Gook Park),송종화(Jong-Hwa Song),배창식(Chang-Sik Bae) 한국항공우주학회 2020 韓國航空宇宙學會誌 Vol.48 No.4

본 논문에서는 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR, 합성개구레이다) 영상 품질을 향상시키기 위해 EGI/IMU (Embedded GPS/INS, Inertial Measurement Unit) 통합 항법 시스템에서 발생하는 시각 동기화 오차의 영향을 분석하고 이를 보상하기 위해 상태변수증강 기법을 적용한다. SAR 요동 측정 알고리즘으로 항체의 위치를 추적하기 위한 EGI와 추가적으로 안테나에 장착된 IMU를 결합하는 EGI/IMU 통합 항법 시스템이 많이 이용된다. 이와 같은 EGI/IMU 통합 항법 시스템에서 센서 간의 시계가 동기화되지 않을 경우 시각 동기화 오차가 발생한다. 시각 동기화 오차가 항법 및 SAR 영상에 미치는 영향 분석을 통해 시각 동기화 오차가 SAR 영상 품질을 악화시키는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 보상하기 위해 상태변수증강 기법을 적용하고, 적용한 결과 SAR 영상 품질이 저하되지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 기동에 따른 시각 동기화 오차 추정 성능과 가관측성을 분석하여 시각 동기화 오차를 효과적으로 추정하기 위해서는 회전 기동과 같은 시간에 따라 변화하는 기동이 필요함을 보였다. 따라서, SAR 영상에 미치는 시각 동기화 오차의 영향을 줄이기 위해서는 SAR 구간 전에 회전 기동 등 시간에 따라 변화하는 기동을 수행하여 시각 동기화 오차를 보상해주어야 한다. In this paper, to improve Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image quality, the effect of time synchronization error in the EGI/IMU (Embedded GPS/INS, Inertial Measurement Unit) integrated system is analyzed and state augmentation is applied to compensate it. EGI/IMU integrated system is widely used as a SAR motion measurement algorithm, which consists of EGI mounted to obtain the trajectory and IMU mounted on the SAR antenna. In an EGI/IMU integrated system, a time synchronization error occurs when the clocks of the sensors are not synchronized. Analysis of the effect of time synchronization error on navigation solutions and SAR images confirmed that the time synchronization error deteriorates SAR image quality. The state augmentation is applied to compensate for this and as a result, the SAR image quality does not decrease. In addition, by analyzing the performance and the observability of the time synchronization error according to the maneuver, it was confirmed that the time-variant maneuver such as rotational motion is necessary to estimate the time synchronization error adequately. In order to reduce the influence of the time synchronization error on the SAR image, the time synchronization error must be compensated by performing maneuver changing over time such as a rotation before SAR operation.

( Rui Xu ),( Soojeong Bae ) 한국패션비즈니스학회 2016 패션 비즈니스 Vol.20 No.3

The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of Chinese minority women``s waistbands, in view of their lifestyle, costume, and symbolism. The research method combined literature research and case study. In the case study, this research targeted the secondary data of a total of 215 pieces from books, articles and the internet. A total of 5 pieces per each representative women``s waistband of 43 minorities, excluding those who did not wear a waistband, we collected. We then quantitatively analyzed the form and decoration of the waistbands. As a result of considering the form, the waistbands of Chinese minorities per region were closely related to the costumes, mainly showing high similarity in respect to color and decoration. Moreover, the decorations of the waistbands were most often made from their own area’s special products, such as silver, bronze, cotton, and linen, amongst other. The form and decoration of the Chinese minority women``s waistbands were all connected with functionality, aesthetic impression, and symbolism, which can be said to be an important part of understanding Chinese minority costume culture. This research contributes to the development and preservation of Chinese minorities`` costume culture by considering and analyzing unique costume factors besides giving excellent fashion design ideas for contemporary fashion.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an educational game with a situated learning strategy on the writing abilities of Korean elementary school students. With regard to writing abilities, this study focuses on the accuracy and fluency of English writing. Two research questions in this study are as follows: 1) Is there a significant difference in the English writing accuracy between an educational game group with a situated learning strategy and one without it? 2) Is there a significant difference in the English writing fluency between an educational game group with a situated learning strategy and one without it? This study used quantitative methods to evaluate the use of situated and non-situated learning strategies with an educational game. The research findings are as follows: First, there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the English writing accuracy test. Second, there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and the control groups in the English writing fluency test. In sum, when an educational game is more situated, it can increase English writing fluency in elementary English writing. Thus, an educational game in elementary English with a situated learning strategy offers benefits for the growth of English writing fluency.
