  • In this study, effective compressive strength and nodal zone of Strut-and-Tie Model are studied to propose a new design method for RC T-type pier coping for prevention of sudden brittle failure. The coping which transmits loads of bridge to pier should be properly designed to retain ductile behavior. In order to carry out this proper design using STM, tie must yield before concrete fails, and a stress at strut should not exceed a certain effective stress. Therefore, reasonable determination of the effective compressive strength of strut by considering stress states at the nodal zone exactly is very important. Since conventional STM is applied under assumption that all nodes are under hydrostatic stress state, actual non-hydrostatic stress state in nodal zone caused by geometrical characteristics, loading conditions, support conditions of structures can not be considered properly. In order to apply STM for design of RC T-type pier coping, the non-hydrostatic stress state of nodal zone is considered and effective compressive strength is proposed. Then, a new design method of RC T-type pier coping which applies the principle of superposition to obtain optimum ductile behavior is rationally designed.

  • The number of foreign cabin crews consist of 7% of total crews in K-airline, of which Chinese crews are of 38%. The number of foreign crews are 433 from 10 countries as of the end of July 2012. The airline has continued to hire foreign cabin crews to increase efficiency of human resourcing qualified flight attendants. This paper tried to do empirical research through SEM(Structural Equation Model) to overview confirmatory factors and course effects integrally. Cultural stress, aggressive coping, social support and job adaption have been chosen to be a factors. Especially, the SEM was set to show indirect effects of cultural stress and aggressive coping through social support to the dependant variable, job adaptation. According to the analysis result, cultural stress has a direct negative effect on job adaptation. Aggressive coping has also a direct positive effect on job adaptation. It has also proven cultural stress and aggressive coping has a indirect effect to job adaptation through social support. This paper is expect to contribute to develop such training and administrative programs as enhancing foreign crews' job adaptability and managing them effectively.

  • Because the origins of stress are various, complex, and often indirectly-causing, reactions to stress are also various according to it's psychopathologies and mechanisms. For a proper management of stress, first of all accurate evaluation and diagnosis must be done. Then, treatment against the stress also can be considered, if necessary. In case of extreme stress, psychotropic drugs such as short-term anxiolytics or antidepressants can be used according to it's specific target symtoms. But long-term treatment of stress must be directed by increasing the individual's usual coping strategy or decreasing the externally causing stresses. Reactions to stress and drug interactions. which are not the whole of the biologic treatment strategy, are very important As a results, in our discussions, we ought to describe the issues by focusing the interactions between the drug and it's reaction to stress rather than the reaction to stress or drug itself and aimed at helping the proper treatment against the stress.

  • This study purposed to examine how school violence victims' coping behaviors are affected by locus of control and social support. Two hundred and thirty fifth and sixth graders from four elementary schools in Seoul filled out School Violence Scale reports of the Seoul Council for Safe School (2002), Attributional Style Questionnaire (Weinstein, 1980) revised by Young Sil Im(2004), Social Support Appraisal Scale (Dubow & Ulman, 1989) revised by Myung Sook Kim(1994), and Stress Coping Behaviors reports(Park & Chung, 2001). The data were analyzed with the descriptive statics and t-test. The results of this study were as follows: First, more children showed internal locus of control than external one under negative circumstances. School violence victims perceived family's support to be more important than friend's and teacher's support. Their coping behaviors were partitioned in the order of active, aggressive, passive/avoidant, and social support seeking. Second, children with internal locus of control used more passive/avoidant coping behavior than those with external one. Third, children who perceived high social support from family used more active and social support seeking coping behavior. Children who perceived low support from friends used more passive/avoidant coping behavior while those with low support from teachers used more aggressive coping behavior. In conclusion, there are differences in stress coping behaviors by victims of school violence based on their internal or external locus of control and perceived social support.

  • This descriptive study was conducted to determine the influence of stress coping styles of nursing students on problem solving ability. Data were collected from 142 nursing students in the M-area from September 20, 2016, to November 30 and analyzed using SPSS WIN 21.0. The average degree of stress coping styles was $3.36{\pm}.30$ (5 point-scale), problem solving abilities was $3.42{\pm}.38$ (5 point-scale). Among the subdomains of stress coping styles, problem focusing was highest, with a score of $3.60{\pm}.42$. Additionally, among the subdomains of problem solving ability, clarification was highest, with a score of $3.50{\pm}.51$. The problem solving abilities of nursing students showed a positive correlation with stress coping styles (r=0.53, p<.001) and was positively correlated with problem focusing (r=0.66, p<.001), positive point of view (r=0.53, p<.001), and social support navigation (r=0.42, p<.001). In addition, the factor with the greatest effect among subdomains of stress coping styles was problem focusing (${\beta}=0.416$, p<.001) and positive point of view (${\beta}=0.257$, p=.002). These two factors were found to explain 54.3% of the variance in problem solving ability. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that application of teaching-learning methods has the potential to improve students' problem-solving ability through problem-oriented and positive stress coping behavior.
