In this study we estimated the carrying capacity of the southern intertidal zone of Kanghwa Island to evaluate the habitat quality for Curlews(Far Eastern Curlew Numenius madagascariensis and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata). Biomass of the macroinvertebrate(Macrophthalmus japonicus) was estimated by based on the spatial distribution of the sediment grain size using GIS tools. According to our analysis the southern intertidal zone of Kanghwa Island was able to support 11,767 individuals for 153 days in the Spring 2012 and 16,275 individuals for 122 days in the Autumn 2012. The proportion of mean population to the carrying capacity in the Spring and Autumn was 9.4% and 5.9%, respectively. These values are 2.8-6.3% smaller than those of the previous study held in 1993-94. For the conservation of the study area, more research and management is needed. And in further studies, diverse characteristics of the intertidal habitat should be considered in spatial analysis to have a precise estimate of the carrying capacity.

This study would like to know the relationship among interpersonal competency based self-understanding and acceptance of others, self leadership, stress-coping and military adjustment. For this, 1289 military trainee in the army training station were surveyed. In results, The first, the acceptance of others did not have a significant effect on the perform-will, but had a significant effect on the job satisfaction and self leadership. The self-understanding had a significant effect on perform-will, job satisfaction and self leadership. The second, self leadership mediated between interpersonal competency and military adjustment. The third, in case of the perform-will, the moderating effect was showed in self leadership when the stress coping level was high. But in case of the job satisfaction, it was showed in both high group and low. Implications of this study is that the interpersonal competency based self-understanding and acceptance of others, self leadership and stress coping can be the positive potential variables on the military adjustment.

This study is a descriptive survey study intended to analyze the relationship between multicultural acceptability, empathy, and global citizenship of nursing students and identify the factors influencing global citizenship. The data was collected targeting 187 nursing students at universities located in the cities of B, U, and S. The collected data was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: global citizenship of nursing students was positively correlated with multicultural acceptability and empathy. Factors influencing the level of global citizenship were empathy, multicultural acceptability, which together explained 40.0% of the total variance in global citizenship. Consequently, this study raises the need for the development and application of steady practical programs and various learning methods for the enhancement of global citizenship, which is required in the fields of nursing education where global competence is considered to be important.

The anchorage among harbour facilities should ensure sufficient water surface area for safe anchoring. A general method is to consider the L.O.A of the target ship and the depth and bottom quality of anchorage to calculate the water surface area of anchorage. However, the gross tonnage is used as a unit of the ship capacity standard of anchorage based on the detailed rules for harbour facilities operation in Korea. In this study, the gross tonnage is converted to L.O.A to calculate the actual anchoring radius of the target ship. This actual anchoring radius exceeds at 25 anchorages (among 90 anchorages) compared with the designated water surface area. Therefore, as an improvement plan of the ship capacity standard for anchorage, L.O.A should be used as a unit for anchorage based on the detailed rules for harbour facilities operation and related Korean maritime laws.

Common theories of affect underscore valence and arousal dimensions or specific emotion. However, given the role of affect in transacting social behavior, sociality may determine the subjective experience and interpersonal response to positive stimuli. The current study examined the relationships between social positive affect and perspective taking as well as positive coping. One potential moderating effect of agreeableness on these relations was also examined. In two experiments, film segments induced socially and non-socially generated positive affects. We hypothesized and found that positive affect associated with sociality would enhance perspective taking ability and positive coping, while non-social positive affect would not. Moreover, these effects varied as a function of the level of agreeableness. These findings suggest that the social/non-social dimension influenced which positive affects elicited perspective taking and positive coping, which could not be explained by differences in subjective emotional valence or arousal. Taken together, these findings have important implications, as they point toward a previously overlooked relation linking sociality to positive affect.

The purpose of this study was to establish an intervention strategy for nursing students' empathic ability enhancement by confirming the degree of empathy ability of nursing students to confirm the relationship between empathy ability and diversity acceptance, emotion recognition clarity, and other person' s recognition. The subjects were 173 nursing students. Data were collected as a self-report questionnaire consisting of general characteristics, diversity acceptability, emotional clarity, other-awareness, and empathy. We carried out t-test, ANOVA, Scheff's test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using IBM SPSS Statistics 19. The results show that there was a significant difference in empathy ability according to the general characteristics of the subjects according to academic year and practice experience, and empathy was statistically significant according to academic year, diversity acceptability, emotional clarity, and other-awareness. Factors influencing empathy ability of nursing students were academic year, diversity acceptability, emotional clarity and other-awareness, and these variables explained empathy ability as 51.9%. In order to improve empathy ability of nursing students based on these results, we should adopt a nursing education program that can accept subjects with various backgrounds and clearly recognize emotions in a therapeutic setting.

This study was conducted to identify the factors that influence students' disability acceptance attitudes in elementary schools in face of integrated education becoming common. For this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 472 students, from fourth to sixth grade, in three elementary schools in Jeollanam-do; furthermore a regression analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.0. The survey demonstrated that gender and grade did not have a significant effect on disability acceptance attitudes. Whereas empathy abilities, contact and knowledge of children with disabilities, respectively, influenced disability acceptance attitudes. Consequently, improving students' ability to empathize with others is more important than simply providing knowledge in itself. Thus, there is a need for the implementation of programs and education geared toward promoting empathy. Moreover, contact was found to have a negative impact on disability acceptance attitudes, suggesting the need to promote more positive disability-related experiences to elementary school students.

Previous multi-cultural education on elementary school students has focused on improving negative perceptions on multi-culture rather than enhancing morality among student, thus the outcomes seem to be not successful as intended. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between multi-cultural acceptance and pro-social behavior and to investigate the role of empathy as mediator in the relationships between these two variables. A convenience sample of 457 elementary school students in I city of Kyeonggi-do was employed. Results showed that multi-cultural acceptance was significantly associated with pro-social behavior and empathy had partially mediated the relationship between multi-cultural acceptance and pro-social behavior controlling for gender, grade, multi-cultural education. Findings suggest that multi-cultural education need to be incorporated into moral education course for improving pro-social behavior and empathy of students.

Seoul, a mega city, contains many features of the modern city. When the disaster or emergency occurs in Seoul, the place for shelter is required for evacuation urgently. There are currently the numbers of shelters in Seoul City, which can hold the twice more capacity of population of Seoul. However, the population distribution fluctuation in the day and the night needs to be considered. Therefore, in order to analyze the actual capacity of shelter, it is necessary to consider the dynamic characteristics of population distribution in the metropolitan area. In the study, the substantial accessibility and the capacity of shelters in Seoul were analyzed by the floating population data of the metropolitan area. The accessibility of shelter was investigated through a network analysis that includes the pedestrian road data, while the capacity of shelter was analyzed by the local differences of daytime population distributions. Finally it was possible to identify the vulnerable areas on the basis of the distribution of shelter in the region.
