As the sharing economic market grows, the subject of sharing is expanding to intangible resources such as time, experience, and expertise. The phenomenon that an individual temporarily participates in the platform by utilizing own intangible resources is defined as a 'gig economy'. The gig economy has a positive expectation that can create new jobs, but also has negative warnings that it is only a temporary job based on low wages. The gig economy market is growing rapidly in Korea, however there are very few academic discussions. This study examines the experiences of resource providers in the Korean gig economic platform, and then explores future job changes based on the perception of resource providers. This study selected the subject of research as a talent sharing platform and conducted in-depth interviews with 16 resource providers. The results of the research were presented through content analysis, and their experiences and perceptions were classified into six themes. This study implies academic and practical significance in exploring in depth the overall experience of resource suppliers and in suggesting proposals for desirable successful market growth.

The aim of this study was to identify the status of health functional food consumption of working women. The 558 subjects of the study were aged between 10-60 years, and had previous experiences of consuming health functional foods. The majority of the subjects lived in Seoul, and some lived in the Gyeonggi Province. The most prevalent goals that the subjects hoped to achieve by consuming health functional foods were improvement of physical health status and reduction of exhaustion. Other goals included supplement of nutrition, and prevention or treatment of diseases. Those who were older or who possessed a high BMI spent more expenses on health functional foods, and showed a higher intake frequency as well as longer periods of consumption. Subjects placed in the older group showed a lower level of knowledge related to functional foods, which turned out to be statistically significant. Most of the respondents answered that their knowledge related to functional foods was picked up from listening to others. In conclusion, we were able to observe that groups with elder working women and high BMI show higher consumption and expense rates of health functional foods, as well as longer periods of consumption. However, they show a minimum level of knowledge related to functional foods. According to our results, these subjects should seek practical help in order to select functional foods that will aid their health, and learn the proper method of consumption. In order to reduce inaccurate consumption of health functional foods, it is imperative that more in-depth study is carried out in this field.

Many athletes have been using occlusal stabilization appliances to improve their performance. Few studies have examined the benefits of such an appliance in golf. We determined the effect of such appliances on the masticatory muscle activities and driving distances of professional golf players. The appliances were customized for each player and adjusted using a computerized device. The electromyographic muscle activities and driving distances with and without the appliance were measured and compared using the K7 Analyzer and the GolfAchiever II assembly. A paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. The muscle activities of the temporo-frontal and masseter muscles with the appliance were significantly more stable than those without the appliance, and the driving distances with the appliance were significantly different from those without it. Although there were intra-individual differences, professional golf players with temporomandibular disorders showed a greater improvement in performance.

The increased life expectancy of human due to the advance of medical techniques has led to many social problems such as rapidly aging populations, increased medical expenses and a lack of medical specialists. Thus, studies on improving the quality of life with the least amount of expense have been going on by incorporating advanced technologies, especially for Personal Health Devices (PHDs), into the medical service market. However, compatibility and extensibility among manufacturers of PHDs have not been taken into account in most of the researches done on the development of PHDs because most of them have been supported by individual medical organizations. The interoperability among medical organizations can not be guaranteed because each medical organization uses different format of the messages. Therefore, in this paper, an expansion module that can enable commercially-available non-standard PHDs to support the IEEE 11073, and a smart-phone-based manager that can support easy and comprehensive management on receiving and transmitting the collected data from each PHD using IEEE 11073 standard were developed. In addition, a u-health system that can transmit the data collected in the manager using the standard data format HL 7 to medical center for real-time medical service from every medical institutions that support this standard was designed and developed.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the results of KTAS(Korean Triage and Acuity Scale) triage classifier differ according to the occupations. We analyzed a total of 10,960,359 cases of data sent to the NEDIS from January 1st, 2016 to December 31th, 2017. The triage classifier were MD(Medical Doctor), R(Resident), INT(Intern), GP(General Practitioner), RN(Registered Nurses) and EMT(Emergency Medical Technician). The consistency between the initial triage and final triage results was the highest GP(98.9%) and the lowest INT(80.2%). The results of over-triage classification was the lowest by GP(0.6%) and the highest for INT(16.0%). Also, the results of under-triage classification was the lowest by MD, EMT(0.4%) and the highest for INT(3.8%). The results of KTAS triage classifier significantly differ from according to the occupations(p<0.001). Triage classification should not differ from according to occupations and skill. It is necessary to strengthen the classifier's capacity for accurate triage classifications.

In any military services, young leaders are superiors to another and the leaders must be equipped with not only command and control(C2) and management capabilities but with a skill set that addresses their service members' problems and hardships throughout a counseling approach. These young leaders other than regular professional counselors are wearing dual hats as a commander and a counselor to address their service member's issues. There are couple of hours to give a lecture about counseling during the basic training course, however, we noticed that there are some limitations to cover up the uniqueness of counseling during the course, since we cannot rule out the unique vertical situation within military system that runs by its hierarchy. Therefore, we developed education program in order to enhance commander's counseling skills, refined the program with thorough review and commentary by professions and military commanders, and provided 10 events of program to the young leaders. As a result, the leaders scored high on self-effectiveness, communication skills, and counseling development-level. If we adjust minor changes to the program, it will be the outstanding program to improve young leaders' counseling capability.
