Mobile Learning (M-learning) adoption and success in supporting students' learning engagement mainly depend on many factors. Therefore, this study systematically reviews the literature, synthesizes and analyzes the predictors of M-learning adoption, and uses success for students' learning engagement. Literature from 2016 to 2023 in various databases is covered in this study. Based on the review's findings, the factors that influence students' learning engagement when it comes to M-learning usage and adoption, can be divided into technical, pedagogical, and social factors. More specifically, technical factors include mobile devices availability and quality, connectivity to the internet, and user-friendly interfaces, pedagogical factors include effective instructional design, teaching methods, and assessment strategies, and social factors include motivation of students, social interaction and perceived enjoyment - all these factors have a significant impact on the M-learning adoption and use success. The findings of the review also indicated that M-learning has a key role in enhancing the learning engagement of students through different ways, like increasing their motivation, attention, and participation in their process of learning, paving the way for interaction and building relationships opportunities with peers and instructors, which in turn, can lead to strengthening the learning environment. The implications of these findings extend beyond immediate educational contexts, offering vital insights for future educational technology strategies and policy decisions, particularly in addressing global educational challenges and embracing technological advancements in learning.

본 연구는 룩셈부르크소득연구의 가구소득자료를 이용하여 1980년대 이래 서구 복지국가에서 빈곤의 실태는 어떻게 변화하고 있는가를 분석하고, 빈곤의 변화추세를 인구집단별 및 소득원별로 분해함으로써 경제사회구조 및 공적소득이전제도의 변화가 빈곤의 추세와 어떠한 관련을 맺고 있는지를 탐색하였다. 연구결과는 먼저 대부분의 서구 복지국가에서 빈곤이 심화되는 추세에 있음을 보여 준다. 이처럼 빈곤이 심화되는 추세에 있는 것은 노령층이나 편부모가구 등 전통적으로 빈곤의 위험이 높은 인구집단이 증가하고 있는 때문만은 아니다. 노령층의 경우 연금제도 등 공적소득이전의 영향으로 인해 생산연령층에 비해 빈곤상태가 낮은 수준을 보이고 있으며 시장소득의 빈곤도 점차적으로 감소하는 추세에 있다. 편부모가구는 전반적으로 생산연령층 일반가구에 비해 빈곤의 정도가 심한 편이나 빈곤의 변화추세는 노동시장정책 및 공적소득이전제도의 차이에 따라 국가별로 크게 다르게 나타난다. 서구 복지국가에서 빈곤이 심화되는 것은 무엇보다 생산연령층 인구의 빈곤, 특히 시장소득 빈곤이 심화되고 있는데서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있다. 경제의 세계화와 노동시장 유연화에 따른 실업 및 비정규직의 증가, 저임금 노동자의 증가 등 최근의 경제환경 변화가 생산연령층 인구의 빈곤을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용할 가능성이 높은데, 이에 대한 구체적이고 깊이 있는 분석과 함께 이 계층에 대한 빈곤정책이 확대될 필요가 있다.

The biggest change in the current medical service market is the shift from producer-based approach to customer-based approach. Thus, there is a high necessity for an introduction of market-oriented and customer-oriented marketing activities in medical institutions. Especially, revisitation and positive word-of-mouth of customers are the most effective marketing methods of consistently obtaining customers and drawing new loyal customers. Hence, the factors influencing the reuse of medical services and word-of-mouth are demonstrated using SERVQUAL, and the results show that the service factors influencing reuse intentions on medical services are assurance, responsiveness, and tangibles and the factors strengthening word-of-mouth are empathy and assurance on the services provided by medical institutions. This study has determined that revistation and word-of-mouth of customers are not only influenced by satisfaction on medical services but by the quality itself as well. Therefore, medical service providers need to pursue standardized strategies in order to enhance the quality of medical services simultaneously in addition to simply increasing the customer satisfaction level.

The concept of universal design has become an essential requirement for environmental design, due to the growing population of the aged, and the increasing needs of people with disabilities. This study aims to propose a universal design guideline for apartment housing units that can be adapted to both a general household and a household with elderly or disabled individuals. This design process encompasses literary reviews, and includes the measurements of the dimensions and facilities of currently available apartment housing. The three domestic universal guidelines were reviewed, and a universal design checklist for apartment housing units was developed. Afterward, the individual elements and inclusive factors of universal design, for apartment housing units, were collected and examined according to the each functional space within the home. The results and conclusions are as follows: 1) The factors of universal design are diversified by the division of the functional spaces within the home, such as the private space, the work space and the entertaining space. 2) Due to the lack of space and storage, wheelchairs cannot be used in most currently available apartment types; this problem can be resolved by applying flexibility and optional adaptation. The solutions for the above are additional design factors that will enable more convenient usage and elaborate design.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify the factors associated with the first reported fracture in osteoporotic patients. Methods: One hundred and sixty-four patients who presented with osteoporosis at K hospital in G city, South Korea between July and September 2010 were participated in study. Modified Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey tool were used to measure participants' living habits. Computer aided nutritional analysis program (CAN-PRO) designed by Nutrition Information Center in the Korean Nutrition Society (2002) was used to analyze foods intake and to calculate the individual nutrients intake. Results: The risk of developing the first osteoporotic fracture was ten times higher in the patients between 65 to 74 years (OR=10.06, p=.010), and 28.41 times greater in those with increasing falls (OR=28.41, p<.001). Patients with higher bone marrow density (BMD) and higher consumption of animal protein diet had lower risks of developing the first osteoporotic fracture (OR=0.37, p=.011; OR=0.88, p=.040, respectively). Conclusion: Risk factors for osteoporotic fracture included the age from 65 to 74 years, an increase in falls, low animal protein consumption, and reduced BMD. Systematic educational program is needed to prevent fracture in osteoporotic patients.

본 논문에서는 3경간 연속 강도로교에 대한 실측 진동 파형과 이론 진동 파형을 비교하여 실측치에 가장 가까운 최대 동적 처짐을 계산할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였고, 이로부터 차량의 속도 및 중량변화에 따른 단순교 및 3경간 연속교의 충격계수 값의 변화 양상을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 교량의 환산 휨강성을 사용하면 실측치에 가까운 최대 동적 처짐을 구할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 차량 속도 변화에 따른 충격계수 값은 속도가 증가할수록 대체로 커지나, 현행 우리나라 시방서상의 연속교의 충격계수에 대한 규정에는 불합리한 점이 있다고 판단되었다.

By applying behavioral intention theories and the theory of diffusion of innovation in organizations, this study identified several factors influencing the intention to apply management accounting in enterprises in Vietnam. Research data was collected from the questionnaire sent to Vietnamese enterprises in 2019, collecting 542 observations from accountants and directors. The data is, then, synthesized by excel file, conformity check, and processed by SPSS 20 software with descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results showed four factors that affect the intention to apply management accounting in enterprises in Vietnam: (1) Performance expectancy; (2) Effort expectancy; (3) Perceived trust; and (4) Subjective norms. The study pointed out that the above factors explain 60.618% of the variation of "intention to apply management accounting", in which, Subjective norms has the strongest impact (regression coefficient is 0.238). The findings also show that raising the awareness of managers and accountants about the role of management accounting, improving the qualifications and knowledge of accountants, and increasing the trust of managers about management accounting information are needed to increase the level of management accounting application in Vietnamese enterprises. The study also proposes recommendations to improve the effectiveness of management accounting for managers in operation and decision-making.
