This study aims to identify determinants affecting on geographic variations in the prevalence of arthritis in Korean women using data mining. Data from Korean Community Health Survey 2012 with 249 small districts were analyzed. Socio-demographic, health behavior and status, and morbidity status measures were analyzed using conventional regression model and convergence analysis method such as decision tree for convergence analysis. Rate of workers in agriculture, forestry, and fishing, salaried workers, persons higher than high school graduates, non-treatment of needing care, non-treatment of care because of economic reason, obesity, heavy drunkers, complaining persons of chewing difficulty, persons with experiencing depression, persons with perceiving stress, and persons with diagnosing hypertension and angina pectoris were variation determinants of prevalence of arthritis in 249 small districts and these districts were classified 10 area groups by decision tree model. Our finding suggest that the approach based characteristics by small area groups rather than national wide or individual level would be effective to reduce in variations of prevalence of arthritis.

Recently, school violence problem has increased serious. And this is not only an individual issue but also this is a social problem. Realistically, not only physical violence, cyber violence using the smartphone is very serious. And if the elementary school students are exposed to cyber violence, it becomes even more serious problem. Therefore, we proposed an Smart Monitoring app that protect the smart safety such as as a countermeasure against cyber violence to elementary school students. This Conversion Smart app can support grasp service for children using location based service on the smartphone when he will come to the home. And it can support another service that abuse or vulgar language in messenger. Grasps the degree of use of the language that is prohibited friendship in elementary school through this process, it can be derived. And we have future works that is the search rate and response time an inappropriate word on the proposed system.

Using data from 2011 Elderly Living Condition Survey database, this study analyzed risk factors for suicide ideation of Korean elderly persons. The analysis sample consists of 10,003 cases. The main purpose of this research was to explore the effects of social quality factor on suicide ideation of Korean elderly persons. Analysis results show that gender, age, area of residence, living alone, subjective standard of living, activities of daily living(ADLs), and geriatric depression are significant predictors of suicide ideation. Key findings are that social quality factor such as experiencing feeling hurt from others' words and actions like avoiding conversations, disregarding one's opinions, pretending to be not heard, getting irritated, grumbling, etc. has the largest effects on suicide ideation. Analysis results imply that without improving social quality, it would not be possible to lower elderly suicide rate.

미래유망기술의 발굴은 국가차원의 미래 먹거리 창출이라는 중요한 의미가 있다. 하지만 미래사회의 불확실성, 과학기술의 융복합화 등 여러 요인으로 인하여 실효성 높은 유망미래기술을 도출하기는 점점 더 어려워지고 있다. 본고에서는 미래 비즈니스에 대한 통찰을 기반으로 미래 먹거리 창출이 가능한 기술에 대한 메가트렌드로 2015년 가트너가 제시한 '디지털 비즈니스를 향한 가트너 로드맵' 의 5번째 단계인 디지털 비즈니스에 대하여 알아보고, 디지털 비즈니스를 실현하기 위한 미래 핵심기술인 디지털 시큐리티를 기존 사이버 보안기술과 연계하여 개념을 새롭게 정의하고 향후 연구방향에 대하여도 살펴보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to identify menopausal resilience in middle-aged women. The data were collected from 227 middle-aged women who participated in friendship and religious activities in the Jeonbuk province. The data were collected through self-report questionnaires, which were constructed to Self-efficacy, family support, social support, menopausal adaptation, resilience. Data were analyzed using frequencies, means, $X^2$_Test, pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23. Regular exercise(${\beta}=-.15$, p<.01), self-efficacy(${\beta}=.29$, p=<.001), social support(${\beta}=.29$, p=<.001), menopausal Adaptation(${\beta}=.17$, p<.01) were influencing factors and these variables showed an explanatory power of 35.3% (F=18.65, p<.001). Therefore, it is suggested that middle-aged women in menopause can plan to overcome the menopausal crisis positively through nursing interventions that include self-efficacy and social support.

This study is aimed to examine effects of sociodemographic, social relation, and health related factors on risky drinking among early, middle, and older adulthoods. Using the sixth(2013-2016) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, separate logistic regression analyses were conducted for women's early adulthood (n=1,143), middle adulthood (n=1,306), and older adulthood (n=875) to test factors associated with risky drinking. For study results, as for women's early adulthood, education, marital status, employment, depressive feeling, and smoking were statistically associated with risky drinking. As for women's middle adulthood, only subjective stress level and smoking were associated with risky drinking. As for women's older adulthood, education, suicidal ideation, and subjective health condition were associated with risky drinking. These results found different factors influenced risky drinking according to life stages. Based on these results, convergent implications about reducing risky drinking according to life stages of women were discussed.
