Carmelita B. Balunsat Graduate School, Hoseo University 2000 국내박사

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between church growth and educational ministry. More specifically, it sought to analyze the influence of church school curriculum, teacher as well as pastor variable to church growth in the Protestant Church in Korea. Church growth index were also analyzed. Educational ministry is expected to impact both qualitative and quantitative growth in the church. The questionnaire was used to gather the needed data. Two sets of questionnaires were provided for two groups of respondents. Senior pastors and associate pastors composed the first group, the other is composed of church school teachers and cell-group leaders. Sixty three senior pastors, thirty eight associate pastors, ninety six church school teachers, four assistant teachers, seventy cell-group leaders plus two who missed to give their church designation, making a total of 274 persons served as respondents. Respondents represent eight Protestant denominations in Korea. The following items (17) were investigated with the use of the questionnaire: number of respondents by denomination, number of respondents by area, respondent's local church designation, respondent's educational attainment, recognition of church school objective by pastors and church school teachers and cell-group leaders, subjects taught in church school, use of new method of teaching, audio-visual materials and equipments used in the church school, length of time using A.V. materials and equipments, number of church school teachers and cell-group leaders trained a year, number of seminars, workshop, and teacher-leader training attended annually, pastor's educational concern, percentage of church school attendance last year, last year's number of children, youth and adult baptized, percentage of membership increase last year, provision of domestic and overseas mission. The study demonstrates positive results from the information gathered by the measuring instrument. Results of analysis show that church school curriculum, teacher as well as pastor variables can improve the life of the Church. The study concludes that if the church has more concern, more efforts and attention devoted to its educational ministry, the church will grow both in number and spirituality. Based on the research findings, the following suggestions were drawn: 1. Church school teachers must be at least college graduate in order to teach well. 2. Every Pastor must be a holder of doctorate degree necessary for effective ministry. 3. More church school teachers and cell-group leaders should be trained annually or at least periodically. 4. The number of seminars, workshops and teacher-leader training should be increased. 5. Periodic evaluation in the church school should be done. The Pastor is expected to initiate the evaluation. 6. Protestant churches in Korea should continue doing mission here and abroad. 7. Similar studies should be followed up.

Comparison of experimental results and numerical analysis in a cyclone : Cyclone 內部 流動場 實驗 및 數値解析의 비교

정우진 Graduate School Hoseo University 2003 국내박사

The cyclone dust collector (hereinafter referred to as "cyclone") is a simple dust-collecting apparatus with a history of more than 100 years, starting with its conceptual origination in the late 1800s. It is a very useful instrument because it is able to operate at high pressure and high temperature conditions, is energy-efficient, and is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain. Cyclones are currently being utilized in a wide variety of industrial applications such as waste incinerators, PFBC(pressurized fluidized bed combustion), and IGCC(integrated gasification combined cycle) plants for their ability to process large volumes of gas containing dust particles as small as 10-200㎛ in diameter at low costs. In this experiment we compared the cyclone internal flow at various measurement points. We also conducted an experiment as the effects of high temperature and high pressure and performed a numerical analysis with results obtained from a computer simulated experiment. To avoid the possibility of error when calculating the calibration factor, the calibration factor from a previous experiment was used when analyzing the collection efficiency and pressure drop rate. When performing the numerical analysis, the software program, FLUENT 6.0, which is commonly used, was employed. Grid generation is used GAMBIT 2.0. The results are as following : (1) When measurement of internal flow, we obtained that tangential velocity is faster more than twice as inlet velocity. Therefore, collection efficiency is increase. (2) If it has error between experimental value and numerical analysis value in internal flow, it is trustworthy. This study can know characteristic of flow in the cyclone. (3) When flow rate is increase, grade collection efficiency is increase and when temperature is increase, pressure drop and grade collection efficiency is decrease. When pressure is increase, pressure drop and grade collection efficiency is increase. (4) The Cyclone at the high temperature and high pressure can be collected more than 3㎛ particle. Therefore, Cyclone can be used individually in the IGCC or PFBC.

Constancia Pedro (Ching) Batin Graduate School, Hoseo University 2001 국내박사

This study was designed to investigate the contribution of the Christian Educational Leadership. More specifically, it sought to analyze the factors that contributed to the Church growth in Korea with the end in view to adopt and introduce the salient features of the Korean experience to improve the Christian educational leadership in the Philippines. In this study, the leadership model in the Old Testament was presented by using Moses' and Ezras' leadership style and in the New Testament, Jesus' and Paul's leadership was used. As a result, Christian educational leadership counts a lot in the growth of the Korean Methodist Churches not seen only in the quantity but also in quality. The questionnaire was used to collect the data on educational leadership and the church growth. There was only one set of questionnaire float to 16 Senior and Associate pastors, 15 Church elders, 29 Christian Education directors and 110 Church teachers, making a total of 170 persons served as respondents. The following items (14) were investigated with the use of the questionnaire: distribution of respondents in terms of designation, maker and planner of Christian education program, activities in the local church, staffing and delegation of teaching responsibility to the Church officers, assigning Christian education supervisor, secretary, scheduling of the pastor to plan with the Christian education committee, encouragement of the pastor to Sunday school teachers to attend seminars, training of pastors church teachers, informing officers about meetings of the Christian education programs, allocation of budget for the Christian education programs, response of parents about programs, Church membership growth through the programs, percentage of believers who become baptized and the most effective method of teaching in the Korean Methodist Church. Results of the data analysis show that Christian educational leadership plays an important role and counts a lot to the Church growth in Korea. The study concludes that if pastors take a leadership in the Christian education, Church membership will grow both quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the research findings, the following suggestions were drawn: 1. That Church pastors should be the Christian education leader in order to fully nurture the members of the Church. 2. That Church pastor must train teachers to become partners in the teaching ministry of the Church. 3. All pastors must be the maker and planner of the Church curriculum and programs of the local Church. 4. More seminars, workshops, teacher or leadership training should be increased. 5. Periodic evaluation on the Church curriculum, programs, activities should be done in order to improve its programs and more people will be converted to Christ. 6. That the Church must strive to motivate Church teachers for their effective teaching. 7. Similar more researches should be followed up.

Bakaev, Akram A Graduate School Hoseo University 2002 국내박사

Tourism is very important in the respect that it can be used as a power engine for developing all other sectors of the national economy. Tourism has an impact on the host economy through several different avenues. Tourist expenditure raises national income both directly, through the initial increase in output, employment and income, and indirectly through the tourism multiplier. Realization of tourism development perspective programs that are: 1) Foundation of National Tourism Administration 2) Forecast Tourism Sphere Development 3) To create Free Economic Zone will allow to increase economic development of national tourism more than 10 time. It will take some time to accomplish the tasks. So, we should not await for quick results and big profits at once, but the development will be very remarkable year by year.

Timshel and Freedom : In John Steinbeck's East of Eden

곡위위 Hoseo University Graduate School 2010 국내석사

This study aimed at a theme called timshel, a Hebrew word literally translated “thou mayest.” This idea means the freedom to choose good and evil. God has given human beings the choice of whether or not to overcome sin―in other words, the freedom to choose their course of life. Lee, a Chinese servant in the Trask family, displayed the idea of timshel. He integrated all the conflicted worlds of the characters in the novel. However, it is regret that he has been treated as a minor character. He represents the voice of wisdom and reason at the crucial time of the events. He serves as a moral lens through which to view the other characters. In the novel, Lee is an educated man whose parents migrated to migrated to American from China. He experienced the racial prejudices but he did not retaliate and was content to be a servant. Although one of the fundamental ideas in East of Eden is that evil is an innate and inescapable human problem, the novel also sets forth hope that each individual has the freedom to overcome evil by his or her own choice. This idea of free choice is encapsulated by Lee who triumphs in overcoming sin through freedom of choosing. Lee sees this idea of free will as central to the human condition. In fact, he says that timshel might be the most important word in the world. Therefore, this thesis will be developed by focusing the same view as Lee, who sees the reality of life.

The Pronunciation of English Word-Initial Consonant Clusters by Korean EFL Learners : An Optimality-Theoretic Approach = 한국EFL학생들의 영어 어두 자음군 발음에 대한 연구 : 최적성이론 분석

정선일 Graduate School Hoseo University 2002 국내박사

본 논문의 목적은 한국EFL학생들의 영어 어두에서 나타나는 obstruent+liquid 와 obstruent+glide 두 가지 자음군 발음을 살펴보는데 있다. Broselow & Finer (1991)는 최저공명도거리 (MSD) 개념을 이용하여, 영어학습자들에게 obstruent+liquid 자음군이 obstruent+glide 자음군 보다 더 어렵다고 주장했다. Eckman & Iverson (1993)은 유표성 원리를 이용하여 obstruent+glide 자음군이 obstruent+liquid 자음군 보다 더 어렵다고 주장했다. Archibald (1998)은 자질 기하학을 이용하여 영어학습자들이 이 두 가지 자음군을 습득하는 과정을 설명했다. 이 세 가지 설명은 나름대로 타당성이 있지만 같은 현상에 대해서 일관된 설명을 제시하지 못한다는 것이 문제점이다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 실험을 통해서 한국EFL 학생들의 obstruent+liquid 와 obstruent+glide 자음군 발음 데이터를 수집하여 오류유형을 분석하고 최적성 이론으로 그 오류를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 한국학생들이 이 두 가지 자음군을 발음할 때 자음탈락, 모음삽입, 대체, 및 혼합적 책략을 사용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그 외에도 obstruent+liquid 자음군에서는 모음삽입이 더 많이 일어나고 obstruent+glide 자음군에서는 자음탈락이 더 많이 일어난다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 조음방식에 있어서 마찰음에서 폐쇄음보다 오류가 더 많이 일어나고 조음위치에 있어서 순치음과 치간음에서 양순음과 치조음보다 오류가 더 많이 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 Broselow & Finer (1991), Eckman & Finer (1993)과 Archibald (1998)의 해석은 이러한 오류 유형을 설명할 수 없었다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 오류 유형을 최적성 이론을 이용하여 설명할 수 있다고 주장한다. 언어습득 데이터를 최적성 이론으로 설명하기 위해서 우선 최적성 이론의 기본원리를 소개하고 언어 보편적인 유표성 제약과 충실성 제약의 상호작용으로 한국EFL학습자들에게 나타나는 발음오류를 설명한다. 즉 자음탈락과 모음삽입 책략은 유표성 제약인 *COMPLEX와 충실성 제약인 MAX-IO와 DEP-IO가 상호 작용하여 일어나는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 자음대체오류는 마찰음이 폐쇄음보다 또한 순치음과 치간음이 양순음이나 치조음보다 유표성이 더 강하기 때문에 *CONT, *STOP, *f, *θ 와 같은 유표성 제약과 IDENTCONT, IDENTSTOP, IDENTPLACE 와 같은 충실성 제약들이 상호 작용하여 일어나는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 liquid 가 glide보다 공명도가 낮기 때문에 탈락되지 않고 obstruent+liquid에서는 모음삽입이 더 많이 일어나고, obstruent+glide 에서는 모음삽입보다 자음탈락 오류가 더 많이 일어난다고 할 수 있다. 이것은 한국학생들이 obstruent+liquid를 발음할 때 충실성제약인 MAX-IO가 DEP-IO보다 상위에 위치해 있기 때문이고, 반면 obstruent+glide를 발음할 때는 DEP-IO가 MAX-IO보다 상위에 위치해 있기 때문이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 설명을 기초로 하여 본 논문은 한국학생들에게 영어발음을 지도할 때 자음의 유표성 차이를 고려하여 점진적으로 발음훈련 하여야한다고 제안한다. 덧붙여 한국어와 영어의 자음차이와 MAX-IO, DEP-IO, *COMPLEX, *CG 등 제약들의 함축점을 고려하여 발음지도를 해야한다고 주장한다.

On nonlinearity and global avalanche characteristics of vector boolean functions : 벡터 부울 함수의 비선형과 거시적 확산효과

황희성 Graduate School Hoseo University 2003 국내박사

자기상관관계, 균등성, 선형복잡도, 비선형성과 거시적 확산효과는 블록암호의 핵심 논리 설계에 이용되는 부울함수 또는 벡터함수가 갖추어야 할 특성들이다. 본 논문에서는 n 차원 벡터 공간 GF(2)^(n)상에 정의된 벡터 부울 함수에 대하여, 자기상관관계를 정의하고 이를 이용하여 주어진 벡터 부울함수의 비선형성의 상한값과 하한값을 구하였다. 또한 벡터 부울함수의 경우에 거시적 확산 효과를 측정할 수 있는 제곱합 확산 효과 지시자와 절대 확산효과 지시자를 정의하고, 그들의 상한값과 하한값도 구하였다. 더욱이 이들 결과를 대표적인 블록암호 알고리즘인 DES와 Rijndael에 적용하여 그들의 비선형성값과 두 지시자들의 실제값을 구하여 비교하였다. It is well known that the nonlinearity of vector Boolean functions F on n-dimensional vector space GF(2)^(n) to GF(2)^(m) is bounded above by. 2^(n-1)-2^((1)/(2)n-1). In this paper we derive upper bounds and a lower bound on the nonlinearity of vector Boolean functions in terms of auto-correlations. Strengths and weaknesses of each bounds are examined. Also, we modify the notions of the sum-of-square indicator and absolute indicator for Boolean functions to the case of vector Boolean functions to measure global avalanche characteristics of vector Boolean functions. Using those indicators we compare the global avalanche characteristics of DES(Data Encryption System) and Rijndael.
