The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is the relationship between husband support and depression mediated to connubial bliss in Korean married women. A total of 2,120 married women were selected from the database of the Fourth Korea Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families (KLoWF) in 2011-2012. By the structure equation model, among of the husband support, the husband awareness was regarded as the dominant factor related to depression in Korean married women. Then comes couple activity, visiting of parents and division of household labor in that order. This study suggests that husband support significantly associated with connubial bliss and depression in Korean married women. The above findings will help design policy plans to reduce the depression of married women in the nation.

The sharp decline of fertility in industrialized countries since the 19th century constitutes a major problem for evolutionary approaches to human behavior. Why would people voluntarily reduce their total number of offspring, despite the fact that resources are so abundant in modern times? Here I review three evolutionary hypotheses for low fertility in modern societies, and discuss how the evolutionary perspective could shed new light on solving the problem of low fertility in Korea. Low fertility may be 1) a maladaptive outcome from the mismatch between our ancestral environments and evolutionarily novel environments, 2) a consequence of gene-culture coevolution where traits that reduce genetic fitness can still spread through a population as a result of imitation, especially if the traits are expressed by high-status people, or 3) an adaptation that maximize parents' long-term genetic fitness in knowledge-based industrialized societies where high parental investment is required for rearing competitive offspring. Based on these considerations, I suggest how the evolutionary explanations of low fertility can be applied to increasing the birth rate in Korea.

This study aimed to examine the effect of parentification on the smartphone dependency of upper elementary school children in double-income families and to verify whether ambivalence over emotional expression and loneliness sequentially mediates the relationship between parentification and smartphone dependency. The participants were 311 upper-elementary school students (4th to 6th graders; 126 boys, 40.5%) in doubleincome households residing in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, and Incheon. The data were collected through an online self-report questionnaire completed by the participants and were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and Mplus 8.7 software. The results can be summarized as follows. Firstly, the direct effect of parentification on the smartphone dependency of the children from double-income families was statistically insignificant. Secondly, ambivalence over emotional expression mediated the effect of parentification on smartphone dependency, while loneliness did not. Lastly, parentification influenced smartphone dependency through the sequential mediating channel of ambivalence over emotional expression and loneliness. In conclusion, these findings indicate that interventions for smartphone-overdependent children from double-income families should place emphasis on children's psychological difficulties attributed to parentification. Specifically, this study highlights the importance of alleviating the levels of ambivalence over emotional expression and loneliness to address the issue of children's smartphone dependency in double-income families, suggesting possible involvement and support at both household and societal levels.

Although developmental disabilities account for a relatively low number of the total number of disabilities, they are generally classified as severe disabilities considering the degree of disability. If these developmental disorders are discovered early, adaptability and early treatment efficiency can be improved, but most parents do not detect any signs from their children or miss the right time for treatment. In this paper, we conducted development of the developmental disorder diagnosis algorithm that can recognize hand-flapping, one of the early unusual behaviors of developmental disorders, for parents and early childhood care workers who cannot recognize signs of early developmental disorders based on specific behavioral characteristics as a pilot study. It was confirmed that the recognition area and fingers were accurately recognized, and the number of hand flapping was accurately counted. It is expected that research on algorithms that can diagnose various behavioral patterns will continue to be conducted and expanded all through algorithms advancement and expansion of functional performance using big data.

This study aims to explore the meaning of marital life from the point of women marriage immigrants through the phenomenological qualitative methodology by Giorgi. Results showed that the meaning of marriage life were 'love, the attraction of various colors','husband, really good person', 'the reality', 'child: stability, pleasure and hardship','husband demanding Korean women's life', 'difficult and good in-laws', 'marriage is my power', 'community beyond marriage life'. The meaning that participants experienced was living like Korean woman with really good husband in unfamiliar and afraid society. This meaning was beyond the objectified negative typification of women marriage immigrant.

This study was conducted in order to develop a parenting behavior scale for parents of school-age children and to analyze the scale in terms of both reliability and validity. Data were collected from a sample of mothers of $1^{st}$ to 3rd grade students in four elementary schools located in Seoul. 778 mothers were administered a parenting behavior scale with 123 items, and 779 mothers were asked to verify the validity of the developed scale in which 45 items remained after a series of analyses. Data were analyzed by means of exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation analysis. The results of factor analysis identified five factors, Warmth, Reasoning, Intrusiveness, Coercion, and Neglect. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of each factor demonstrated results of .82~.86, suggesting that the scale had adequate internal consistency. Concurrent validity was established by using correlations between mothers' parenting behaviors and children's social competence. Moreover, cross-validation was also verified for the five factors. Considering the reliability and validity of this scale, it can clearly serve as a useful tool for assessing parenting behavior which is closely related to child development.

Recently, It has been increased to use a multi-dimensional data in various applications with a rapid growth of the computing environment. In this paper, we propose the vector approximate tree for content-based retrieval of multi-dimensional data. The proposed index structure reduces the depth of tree by storing the many region information in a node because of representing region information using space partition based method and vector approximation method. Also it efficiently handles 'dimensionality curse' that causes a problem of multi-dimensional index structure by assigning the multi-dimensional data space to dynamic bit. And it provides the more correct regions by representing the child region information as the parent region information relatively. We show that our index structure outperforms the existing index structure by various experimental evaluations.

It is on increasing trend to employ H-rolled beams as main flexural members of bridges and of temporary structures owing to their handiness for construction, maintenance, and management. But in the case of applying H-rolled beams to bridges, maximum length of bridge span is around 20m. Therefore, to develop simplified steel-concrete composite bridge having long span using H-rolled beam needs new cross girder system at internal supports, optimization of bridge system without cross beams between supports and steel-concrete composite bridge deck. This study performs mechanical analysis of cross girder system for H-rolled beam steel-concrete composite bridge with long span and verifies its usefulness.
