In recent years, health care cost containment concerns have resulted in an increase in outpatient (or same-day) surgery. Many procedures previously performed on an inpatient surgery basis have been shifted to outpatient settings. Anesthesia for outpatient surgery is exactly the same as inpatient anesthesia, except that the primary concern is the selection of patients who can be discharged safely on the day of surgery. The anesthesiologist should have a sound rational basis for choice of pharmacologic agents that are geared to expeditious patient discharge from the hospital. Cost concerns aside, outpatient surgery has many additional advantages in the pediatric setting. It minimizes the length of time the child is hospitalized, decreases separation anxiety, promotes parental involvement in the child's postoperative care in the more congenial environment of home, and decreases risk of nosocomial infection and iatrogenic illness.

Cyber space is a place where free activities are guaranteed. However, it is also true that not all individuals and countries strive for peaceful cyberspace, and that there is a growing tendency to gain unfair advantage through this space. Therefore, the state should reform laws and institutions to keep cyberspace safe. By establishing the "Basic Law on Cyberspace" which includes the law of the state law on cyberspace, it is necessary to be able to recognize and respond to the direction of the national legal discipline on cyberspace. The development of digital forensics is an urgent task due to the rapid development of IT. However, if the law is delayed for various reasons, some of the existing laws should be amended to improve the stability of the law in accordance with the circumstances. To this end, it is necessary to revise the "Information and Communication Infrastructure Protection Act", "Information and Communication Network Enhancement and Information Protection Act", "Integrated Defense Law", "Establishment of Defense Information Infrastructure Infrastructure and Defense Information Resource Management Act".

Furniture is an essential element in the area of human residence, and the necessity of system furniture suitable for the pursuit of unity in design, which clearly distinguishes the various and flexible arrangements and characteristics of space, is gradually expanding. The elderly population in Korea currently exceeds 15%, and is expected to be close to 40% by 2050. An increasing number of elderly generations are showing different behavioral patterns, such as sharing information, health care, and seeking independence from children. In order to maintain an independent daily life, a stable living environment has become essential, but as a result of a study that safety accidents caused by households increase due to a decrease in cognitive ability and physical ability, the need for a suitable household has increased. Therefore, the biological changes and characteristics of the elderly were investigated, and the concept definition, scope and limitations of system households were studied. In addition, by grasping the changes in the home appliance market and trends in the home appliance market, the design direction of system furniture required by the elderly was presented.

This study investigates the safety of Hanwoo beef and consumer satisfaction through the questionnaire for 280 consumers of Hanwoo beef in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Among 280 copies, only 245 copies were adopted to analyze. The subjects consisted of 82(33.2%) males and 163(66.5%) females and their age 55(22.4%) of twenties, 52(21.2) of thirties, 86(35.1%) of forties and 52(21.2%) of over fifties. The frequency of purchasing Hanwoo beef was that as consumers were getting older, they tended to purchase more beef. The most popular place for purchasing Hanwoo beef was Hanwoo specialty stores(55.1%), but there was no statistical difference. The most favorite retail cuts for Hanwoo beef was Loin(44.5%), followed by ribs(26.1%). The consumers thought that selling imported beef turned into Hanwoo beef occurred 70.2%(sometimes), and 20.8%(yes), 6.1%(don't know) and 2.9%(never). For a method to prevent it, the traceability system(60.4%) was the highest, followed by country of origin labelling(16.3%). Taking the perfect score 5 points about the country of origin marks and traceability, trustworthiness which was presented the highest points was 3.31, recognition 3.29, experience 3.26 and practical effect 3.07. The average of two systems was 3.23. The average points of the safety and consumer trustworthiness of Hanwoo beef were 2.96 points and 3.13 respectively. The safety and the consumer trustworthiness showed statistically significant difference according to educational background, income, and jobs. From the results obtained in the current study, it is concluded that if the traceability system and country of origin labelling are managed well by the government, safety and consumer trustworthiness will be improved.

Consumer organizations usually lead the opinions of the consumers. This study was performed to investigate the perceptions and information needs of consumer organizations on food additives for the promotion of risk communication. A survey was conducted for 4 weeks in March 2012 by using a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 32 questions. Total 111 responses were collected for analysis. 'Safety (91.0%)' was the most important factor influencing the purchase of processed food, and both 'food additives (24.3%)' and 'environmental pollution (23.4%)' were considered as main risk factors. The longer the career of the members had, the higher negative perceptions on food additives (p<0.01). About 70% of the respondents who had known KFDA's researches on evaluating safety of food additives answered that researches were not enough to make sure the safety. Although lectures and other domestic organization were the main channels for getting information, 'TV' was considered as the most suitable way for it. 'Poor risk communication (32.4%)' was pointed out as the serious problem of government's food safety policy. Based on these results, consumer organizations' low level of trust on government should be overcome by continuous supply of information what they need to facilitate risk communication on food additives.

The purpose of this review was to introduce and examine 'development' and 'relations' as the core concepts of Home Economics in 2015 revised middle school curriculum in Korea. The 2009 and 2015 proclamation of the ministry of education on home economics curriculum and 26 published middle school textbooks were reviewed. The major findings were as follows. First, the components of human 'development' and family 'relations' were strongly associated with promoting four key competencies (i.e. the self-management competency, the communication competency, the aesthetic sensibility competency, the community competency) of 2015 revision. Also, four of cross-curricular learning topics (i.e. character education, multicultural education, safety and health education, human right education) in 2015 revision could be effectively discussed with human 'development' and family 'relations'. Second, when teaching and learning of the core concept, human 'development', continuous dynamic aspects of life-span development, the connectedness of different domains of development, systematic approach of various concepts in development, specificity and empirical evidence of information and variability of developmental patterns in adolescence should be considered. Third, when teaching and learning of the core concept, family 'relations', family trait such as generational relations, gender relations, role relations and power relations should be taken into account. In addition, exclusively focusing on normal family ideology or image of middle-class family and lecture-centered instruction methods should be changed for students to achieve the competencies relevant to family relations. The future directions for applying core concepts, 'development' and 'relations' in classroom will be discussed.

Analysis of the interaction between the automated vehicles and manual vehicles is very important in analyzing the performance of automated cooperative driving environments. In particular, the automated vehicle platooning can affect the driving behavior of adjacent manual vehicles. The purpose of this study is to analyze the lane change behavior of the manual vehicles in automated vehicle platonning environment and to conduct the experiment and questionnaire surveys in three stages. In the first stage, a video questionnaire survey was conducted, and responsive behaviors of manual vehicles were investigated. In second stage, the driving simulator experiments were conducted to investigate the lane change behaviors of in automated vehicle platonning environments. To analyze the lane change behavior of the manual vehicles, lane change durations and acceleration noise, which are indicators of traffic flow stability, were used. The driving behavior of manual vehicles were compared across different market penetration rates (MPR) of automated vehicles and human factors. Lastly, NASA-TLX (NASA Task Load Index) was used to evaluate the workload of the manual vehicle drivers. As a result of the analysis, it was identified that manual vehicle drivers had psychological burdens while driving in automated vehicle platonning environments. Lane change durations were longer when the MPR of the automated vehicles increased, and acceleration noise were increased in the case of 30-40 years old or female drivers. The results from this study can be used as a fundamental for more realistic traffic simulations reflecting the interaction between the automated vehicles and manual vehicles. It is also expected to effectively support the establishment of valuable transportation management strategy in automated vehicle environments.

In Korea, measures to maintain sustainable fire safety performance for apartment buildings are insufficient in terms of fire-fighting products, skilled personnel, and maintenance status. Also, because of the particular features of a fire compartment, it has structural problems that are very likely to cause damage to human life when a fire occurs. Currently, problems with the fire supervisory system installed in an apartment building cannot be checked in real time, so it is difficult to identify the location of a fire accurately. Protected areas are also not assigned to each household, and residents cannot be clearly informed of the occurrence of a fire. As a consequence, safety evacuation cannot be secured. In addition, it is impossible to test the operation performance for water detectors in sprinkler fire extinguishing systems outside of the household. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of a remote fire supervisory system. The results show that the system satisfies all performance requirements. Also, an household alarm system was installed in each household to alert of any occurrence of a fire accurately, and the performance of the alarm system was improved to ensure that residents were quickly evacuated.

The growth of the live commerce market allows you to conveniently and simply start live commerce anytime, anywhere with a smartphone. The use of smartphone services provides continuous communication and is used while feeling psychological attachment, and it leads to psychological attachment, self-consistency with consumers themselves, and self-identity. This study focuses on the motives and perceptions of consumers using live commerce. In other words, we will examine the relationship with service attachment through the moderating effect of self-efficacy and control focus tendency as consumers' personal and psychological characteristics. In other words, the tendency of regulatory focus, which determines the direction of behavior of consumers according to their motives and goals, affects the service attachment of live commerce. We believe that self-efficacy, which is personal confidence and belief that you can plan and execute on your own for the desired outcome in a given situation or task, will control this relationship. As a result of this research, consumers who highly perceive prevention focus were more likely to avoid negative consequences and pursue safety and obligations. Their attachment to live commerce services was stronger, offsetting their confidence and self-efficacy. When using live commerce services, the more they perceive that information acquisition is beneficial, the higher their belief, and self-efficacy, so service attachment, which is an emotional experience as well as a cognitive experience, is strongly formed for consumers with a preventive focus to avoid safety-seeking and negative consequences. Through the present research results, we believe that it will be helpful in operating strategies and management for companies and small business owners who want to understand the psychological behavior of consumers in using live commerce services.

This study intends to explore the scope of the recognized equity capital of developer in real estate project finance loan screening. The factors which can be recognized as equity capital are categorized into 24 factors with 3 upper categories and 6 mid categories. In order to develop the importance weight of factors, AHP and Fuzzy methodologies are implemented based on survey analysis by experts in financial institutions. Research findings indicate that the land cost, evacuation cost, and real estate acquisition tax as land-related direct costs, and the design cost, traffic impact assessment cost, underground safety impact assessment cost, boundary surveying cost, and geological survey cost as the construction permit-related costs are higher than any others. On the other hand, the supplementary costs related to the operation of the developer show very low importance weight. Accordingly, the hierarchy of factors for equity capital should be clearly developed in order to minimize any dispute and prevent non-performing loans to real estate project finance.
