This study was undertaken among students majoring in Emergency Medical Technology, to comprehend the knowledge, attitudes and preventive behaviors associated with MERS. This study further provides basic data for education related to MERS prevention. A total of 167 students were enrolled in the study. Evaluation of MERS education revealed a higher number of inexperienced subjects: 74 experienced(44.3%) vs. 93 inexperienced(55.7%). Assessing the attitude items for MERS revealed that "have to wear personal protective equipment when dealing with MERS patients" ranked highest (average, 4.54 ± 0.87), whereas "washed my hands more often than usual" ranked highest (average, 3.82 ± 1.06) in the prevention items for MERS. Analyzing the correlation between attitude towards MERS and preventive behavior revealed that "canceled or delayed meeting with friends, eating out, watching sports, shopping, etc." showed that, although negatively correlated, a greater attitude showed a higher level of prevention (r=-0.63, p<0.004). Taken together, results of this study indicate the necessity to develop an education program that improves the level of education and knowledge about MERS, and to impart this education systematically and repeatedly.

This study investigates the processes of the "Production of Nature" and the preservation and exploitation of nature in the local festival. The recent discussions in tourism geography address the neoliberalization of nature with its political-ecological interpretation. Yangyang-gun has been one of the main regions that have made efforts to make salmon back to the streams. Also, the Yangyang Salmon Festival was organized to celebrate and symbolize the successful restoration of nature. In fact, however, the festival focuses on the commercialization of salmon. Moreover, it is hard to consider Namdaecheon as the successfully restored ecosystem for salmon. As the returning number of salmon has not significantly increased and the festival itself has not been successful to attract many tourists, the local people show declining interest on the conservation of salmon. Contrast to the catchphrase of the festival to emphasize the conservation of nature and restoration of ecosystem, there are still many hurdles that jeopardize returning of salmon. This controversy leads diverse actors into conflict over the conservation of salmon and Namdaecheon. The players in the dispute encompass local people, local and national governments and international organization. Nature appropriated for ecotourism is selectively defined, used and emphasized by the interests of agencies at multiple scales. The findings of this study show that the concept of "Produced Nature" is more useful than intrinsic or original perspective on nature as long as we try to understand the commercialization of nature that is appropriated for the repertoire of local festival.

One of the oldest chestnuts in economic geography is this: Cultural and creative industries strongly gather in large cities and this geographic concentration of economic activities leads to regional development. Of course, depending on the circumstances, such a proposition still holds good. But, under the current paradigm shift to knowledge-based economy, it may be open to question. This study aims to investigate financing and knowledge accumulation in the film industry through an alternative framework for explaining their spatial distributions, "formation mechanism of economic space." From the fact that their production organizations are formed on a project basis, project-based financing structure in the investment stage and knowledge accumulation process in the production stage form both axes of it. Film industry as the most mature industry among the cultural and creative industries does not always concentrate in a certain place (industrial agglomeration) or show metropolis-oriented preference. This allows us to reconsider our long brooding theory.

This study was conducted to identify the diabetes self-care (DSM) knowledge, DSM competence, DSM behavior, and quality of life according to HbA1c control in diabetic elderly. The participants were 205 diabetes elderly who visited the citizen health promotion center located in D city, Korea. Data were collected from April, 4 to August 31 2015, and were analyzed by the t-test and chi-squared test using IBM SPSS 23.0. The mean scores of DSM knowledge, DSM competence, DSM behavior and quality of life were $50.61{\pm}16.39$, $71.27{\pm}10.21$, $62.78{\pm}1.29$ and $0.86{\pm}0.11$, respectively. Additionally, DSM behavior (t=2.17, p=0.031), education level (t=11.80, p=0.0019) l, BMI (t=0.001, p=0.012), and number of visits to citizen health center (t=16.497, p=0.001) differed significantly between the controlled HbA1c group and uncontrolled HbA1C group. However, ANCOVA revealed that the level of HbA1c did not affect the DSM behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply a DSM education program that reflects the characteristics knowledge level of the elderly. In addition, healthcare institutions with high accessibility in terms of distance and cost to guide and manage desirable diabetic self-care behaviors should be provided everywhere.

This study is a descriptive research study for the elderly who participated in the community's fair to identify the factors of the convergent impact of perceived health conditions, health promotion activities and dementia anxiety on the quality of health-related life. The research subjects were surveyed on 435 senior citizens aged 65 or older among the participants in the 2019 Regional Exposition, and analyzed using statistics, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 21.0 program. According to the study, the quality of life related to health affects 53.0% of the convergence factors such as perceived health conditions, health promotion activities, monthly income, and economic conditions. Therefore, various community events or programs that can lead to the reduction of dementia anxiety and the improvement of health promotion activities will have to be developed to motivate or make promotional efforts for senior citizens to participate in community events or programs, which will enable senior citizens to build social networks through the participation of various programs in the community, thereby improving health promotion activities and reducing dementia anxiety, which will improve the quality of life for senior citizens.

The present study attempted to identify how the knowledge and risk perception of nursing students regarding COVID-19 impact COVID-19 preventive behaviors. This study collected data from May 1st to September 20th, 2021, using a self-reported questionnaire targeting 184 nursing students. The collected data were analyzed using Independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Multiple regression. The research results indicated that the knowledge(r=.15, p=.019) and risk perception(r=.13, p=.036) of nursing students regarding COVID-19 had a positive correlation with COVID-19 preventive behaviors. The factor that impacted the COVID-19 preventive behaviors of the subjects was COVID-19 knowledge, which had an explanatory power of 4%. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an educational intervention program that enables nursing students to obtain the correct knowledge regarding COVID-19 and improves preventive behaviors.

Unauthorized generations and sales of non-funable tokens (NFTs) without the consent of the creator is one of the biggest problems that arise in NFT Marketplaces. This study proposes a method to practically reduce the problem of NFT sales without the consent of the creator by means of authentication with social media accounts. Through the proposed method, creators who are already using social media as a means of communication and marketing for creative activities can authenticate with their own accounts. Creators who have difficulty authenticating with their own accounts will be provided with alternatives to authenticate using human networks. In addition, the proposed method of protecting creator rights was designed using a flowchart to enable development using only the public API (Application Programming Interface) provided by social media. The proposed method can protect creators' rights and reduce damage caused by NFT fraud by inducing buyers to trade NFTs of authorized sellers through social media.

Trojan-horse programs are the programs that disguise normal and useful programs but do malicious thing to the hosts. This paper proposes an anti-Trojan horse mechanism using the information attached to the code by the developers. In this mechanism, each code is accompanied with the information on their possible accesses to resources, and based on this information users determine whether the code is malicious or not. Even in the case a code is accepted by users due to its non-malicious appearance, its runtime behaviors are monitored and halted whenever any attempts to malicious operations are detected. By hiring such runtime monitoring system, this mechanism enables detecting unknown Trojan horses and reduces the decision-making overhead being compared to the previous monitoring-based approaches. We describe the mechanism in a formal way to show the advantages and the limitations of the security this mechanism provides.

This study examined the correlation among the Korean language ability, health promotion behaviors and health status of immigrant women by marriage. Data on the subjects of 148 immigrant women were collected from September to December, 2013. Constructed self-administered questionnaires were used to gather information on the general characteristics of the immigrant women, their Korean language ability, health promotion behaviors and emotional health status. The health examination results of the subjects were used for information on their health status. There were significant differences in the Korean language reading ability, drinking habits, total cholesterol and body mass index between the diseased group and the intact group. An analysis of the relationship between the Korean language ability and health conditions revealed a significant positive correlation between the total cholesterol and neutral fat, but negative correlations between the density of hemoglobin and the total cholesterol, the neutral fat and body mass index. There was a significant negative correlation between the Korean language ability and the level of stress. Based on these results, a program was suggested and developed to decrease the rate of drinking, cholesterol and body mass index of immigrant women and to promote their ability to understand health information and express their diseases properly in the Korean language.

In this paper, we develop a new system to estimate the step count for a smartphone user. The system analyzes data obtained from the accelerometer, magnetic sensor, and gyroscope of an android smartphone to extract pattern information of human steps. We conduct an experiment and evaluation to confirm that the proposed system successfully estimates the number of steps with 96% accuracy when hand-held and 95.5% accuracy when in-pocket. In addition, we found that detection errors were caused by human motions such as touching the screen, shaking the device up and down, sitting up and sitting down, and waving the phone around.
