The purpose of this study was to examine the structural models in which early cumulative risk factors affect children's language(indicated by expressive vocabularies) and social development(indicated by peer competence) at age 3 thorough their effects on the home learning environment. To examine the hypothesized models, the data of 1,725 families from the second and the fourth waves of the Panel Study of Korean Children was used. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted to test the models. First, the cumulative risk factors at age 1 and 3 were highly correlated, implying the stability of the risk factors over time. The more cumulative risk factors at age 1 predicted the lower level of the home learning environment at age 3, which, in turn, was significantly related to both language and social development at age 3. However, the early cumulative risk factors did not directly influence later developmental outcomes. Moreover, the cumulative risk factors at age 3 were directly related to the child's language development, but neither social development northe home learning environment. In addition, the mediational role of the home learning environment (i.e., cumulative risk factors at age 1${\rightarrow}$home learning environment${\rightarrow}$language and social development) was statistically supported. In conclusion, the early cumulative risk factors in infancy indirectly predicted children's development at age 3 through the home learning environment. The practical implications for the early intervention and support for the families with infants who are experiencing multiple risk factors were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise program intervention in Korea for the control of blood sugar levels in elderly women patients undergoing diabetes mellitus typeII and to investigate the effects of exercise program intervention. Research methods were searched through RISS, KISS, KoreaMed, and KMbase as domestic databases and limited to domestic papers published from 2010 to May 2017. Diabetes, female diabetes, and diabetes mellitus typeII were used as the search terms related to the patient group. Programs related to intervention, intervention, exercise, blood glucose, glucose insufficiency, glucose control, fasting glucose and HbA1c were used. A total of 12 papers were provided according to the intervention method. The mediation period was 12 weeks(50%), 3 times per week(58.3%), and 50 to 69 minutes(83.4%) was the most. The combined aerobic and anaerobic exercise was found to be an effective exercise method to control not only blood glucose level but also HbA1c. Individualized exercise program intervention should be provided considering the physical fitness level and health status of elderly patients undergoing diabetes mellitus typeII and should be encouraged to maintain effective blood glucose control through continuous exercise rather than one-off exercise.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of the public pension and the old-age preparation on the life satisfaction of the elderly with disabilities who have paid jobs, focusing on mediation effects of self-esteem. The data of "the 8th year Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled" of 2016 surveyed by the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled was used. Among the 5,092 people with disabilities, who are 60 or older and who are employed for paid jobs, only 296 cases were finally selected and analyzed by using SPSS 20.0 Version. The results of this study are as follows: First, public pension is a factor that increases the life satisfaction of the population. The elderly with disabilities who have paid jobs and well prepared for the old-age are more likely to have higher life satisfaction. Second, self-esteem did not seem to mediate between public pension and life satisfaction. Third, self-esteem have proven to mediate between old-age preparation and life satisfaction. This study is meaningful in terms of finding mediating factors such as public pension, revitalization of old-age preparation and self-esteem as part of raising life satisfaction of the elderly with disabilities.

The use of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) has been recently reviewed in various industries, but it seems that it is not being applied to companies faster than ever expected. In this study, three perceived risk factors affecting the acceptance conflict and acceptance intention of RPA technology were proposed and the effects of RPA on acceptance conflict and acceptance intention were investigated using RPA experienced people, gender and ICT industries as control variables. For the research, online survey was conducted targeting office workers and analyzed the results by using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. As a result, it was found that among the three perceived risk factors, concern about introduction failure, employment insecurity, and execution errors, employment insecurity and execution errors did not affect the acceptance conflict and acceptance intention of RPA. This research shows that concerns over the introduction failure affected the acceptance conflict and acceptance intention. In addition, the acceptance conflict was judged as a factor of the mediation effect of the acceptance intention. From the perspective of companies that want to apply RPA, the theoretical and practical implications of business management are meaningful in that they can identify and respond to particularly important factors among perceived risks.
