To evaluate the effect of sex education on middle school students' access to the obscene online computer and video film contents. 154 students were selected as experimental group. and 154 students were selected as control group, sampled randomly from Andong. Kyungbook, Korea. An analysis was performed. A non-equivalent control group pre test-post test research design was used. The data were collected from April 2nd to April 19th. 2001. A pre-survey was done on general characteristics and the condition of accessing obscene online computer and video film contents on both experimental and control group. From the survey results information. sex education contents were put together. The researcher organized 3 ready-made sex education program and explained to the four school health nurses about the ready-made sex education program step by step and they educated their selected students with three classes of 45 minutes lecture. Two weeks after the last lecture, a post-test was conducted. Four weeks from the last lecture, another post-test was conducted. The existing studies by Choi Yongseon(1998) and Kim Hyeok(1998) were reviewed and two professors in the department of community health nursing advised on the study questionnaire writing. An SPSS Win 10.0 was used. The data of respondents' general characteristics were analyzed using frequency and percentage. $X^2$ test was used to verify the homogeneity of the experimental group and the control group. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to find out whether sex education had an effect on the awareness of obscene online computer and video film contents and under-age prostitution through the online computer networks. and time and frequency of access to the obscene online computer and video film contents. The results of the study are as follow. 1. The results of the verification of homogeneity between the experimental group and the control group showed that there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. 2. The first hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would have a higher level of awareness of accessing obscene contents than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.0001. 3. The second hypothesis. 'the experimental group which received sex education would have a higher level of awareness of underage prostitution on computer networks than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.05. 4. The third hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would spend time less accessing obscene video and computer contents than the control group which did not receive the education' was rejected at p>.05. 5. The 4-1 hypothesis. 'the experimental group which received sex education would access obscene computer contents less frequently than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.0001. 6. The 4-2 hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would access obscene video contents less frequently than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.0001. In conclusion, a systematic step-by-step sex education program should be developed to protect middle school students from the harmful online computer and video film access. An effective teaching material for sex education should be prepared to decrease middle school students' access to obscene online computer and video film contents.

국제연합에서는 $15{\sim}24$세의 젊은이를 청소년이라고 정의하고 있는데 그 중에서도 특히 농촌청소년은 미래 농촌발전의 핵심주체라 할 것이다. 일반적으로 농촌청소년은 그들 부모세대보다 더 높은 교육수준과 도전의식 그리고 더 높은 창의성을 지니고 있기 때문이다. 더욱이 그들은 미래가 자신의 장래와 직접적으로 연결되어 있기 때문에 장기적인 전망, 미래의 비전에 관심이 크다. 청소년에 대한 교육은 민주사회의 미래에서 한 사회가 할 수 있는 가장 중요한 투자 중의 하나라고 인식되며 현재 진행되고 있는 고도의 경쟁적인 시장경제로의 진입에서 청소년의 사회경제적 비전을 향상시키기 위해서는 교육과 훈련의 질적 양적 향상이 최우선시 되어야 할 것이다. 세계무역기구 출범 이후 농산물 수출국가와 선진국에서의 소득균형은 일반적으로 향상되었으나 순식량 수입국가나 개발도상국가에서는 소득균형이 더 악화되고 농업영역의 쇠퇴를 초래하고 있는 부작용이 국제연합 식량농업기구 등의 분석이다. 더욱이 식량안전상황은 농산물의 급격한 수입으로 여전히 불안하고 농가 판매의 지속적인 악화, 농촌과 도시간의 소득격차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 인간의 건강과 환경에 유해한 유전자조작 농산물 (GMO)의 교역은 소비자의 식품안전과 잠재적 위해 때문에 합당한 조치가 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 상황에서 농업교육, 연구 그리고 지도, 특히 아시아의 주요작물 영역에 대한 더 많은 투자가 필요하며 많은 아시아국가들에서 우선적으로 요구되는 농촌 청소년교육은 빈곤퇴치, 식량의 안정적 공급 및 식품의 안전 그리고 지속적이고 균형있는 농촌개발 등이다. 이를 위한 정부와 국민, 특히 농촌 청소년들의 연결망을 통해 함께 협력해야 빈곤퇴치와 식량의 안정적 공급 및 식품의 안전 등 농촌의 사회경제적 발전이 가능할 것이다. 이 연구에서는 아시아지역 농촌사회 및 식량농업의 발전을 위한 청소년 연결망을 예시적으로 검토하고 미래사회에서의 협력을 위한 접근을 탐색하였다.국제연합에서는 $15{\sim}24$세의 젊은이를 청소년이라고 정의하고 있는데 그 중에서도 특히 농촌청소년은 미래 농촌발전의 핵심주체라 할 것이다. 일반적으로 농촌청소년은 그들 부모세대보다 더 높은 교육수준과 도전의식 그리고 더 높은 창의성을 지니고 있기 때문이다. 더욱이 그들은 미래가 자신의 장래와 직접적으로 연결되어 있기 때문에 장기적인 전망, 미래의 비전에 관심이 크다. 청소년에 대한 교육은 민주사회의 미래에서 한 사회가 할 수 있는 가장 중요한 투자 중의 하나라고 인식되며 현재 진행되고 있는 고도의 경쟁적인 시장경제로의 진입에서 청소년의 사회경제적 비전을 향상시키기 위해서는 교육과 훈련의 질적 양적 향상이 최우선시 되어야 할 것이다. 세계무역기구 출범 이후 농산물 수출국가와 선진국에서의 소득균형은 일반적으로 향상되었으나 순식량 수입국가나 개발도상국가에서는 소득균형이 더 악화되고 농업영역의 쇠퇴를 초래하고 있는 부작용이 국제연합 식량농업기구 등의 분석이다. 더욱이 식량안전상황은 농산물의 급격한 수입으로 여전히 불안하고 농가 판매의 지속적인 악화, 농촌과 도시간의 소득격차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 인간의 건강과 환경에 유해한 유전자조작 농산물 (GMO)의 교역은 소비자의 식품안전과 잠재적 위해 때문에 합당한 조치가 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 상황에서 농업교육, 연구 그리고 지도, 특히 아시아의 주요작물 영역에 대한 더 많은 투자가 필요하며 많은 아시아국가들에서 우선적으로 요구되는 농촌 청소년교육은 빈곤퇴치, 식량의 안정적 공급 및 식품의 안전 그리고 지속적이고 균형있는 농촌개발 등이다. 이를 위한 정부와 국민, 특히 농촌 청소년들의 연결망을 통해 함께 협력해야 빈곤퇴치와 식량의 안정적 공급 및 식품의 안전 등 농촌의 사회경제적 발전이 가능할 것이다. 이 연구에서는 아시아지역 농촌사회 및 식량농업의 발전을 위한 청소년 연결망을 예시적으로 검토하고 미래사회에서의 협력을 위한 접근을 탐색하였다.

Students' perceived values of career play a core role in formation of their career motivation. In particular, science gifted students should build sound values of career in science and technology so that our society can retain the human resources for future science and technology. This study compared and analyzed the structure of science gifted and general middle school students' preferred job and values of career using semantic network analysis. Methodologically, we first collected science gifted and general middle school students' preferred careers and the reasons of the career choice using survey method. Then, we structuralize semantic networks of students' perceived values of their preferred careers using semantic network analysis. We identified the characters of networks that two different student groups showed based on the structure matrix indices of semantic network analysis. Findings revealed that science gifted students considered the creativeness as the most important value of career. Second, science gifted students considered more diverse values of career than general students. Third, science gifted students considered the self-realization such as displaying capability as a core value of career in STEM and medical science whereas general students considered the community service as a core value of the careers. This study identified the significant differences between science gifted and general middle school students' values of careers. The structures of students perceived values of careers can be used for teachers to counsel their students about students' future careers.

Energy policy is known to have higher path dependency among policy fields (Kuper and van Soest, 2003; OECD, 2012; Kikkawa, 2013) and is a critical component of the infrastructure development undertaken in the early stages of nation building. Actor roles, such as those played by interest groups, are firmly formed, making it unlikely that institutional change can be implemented. In resource-challenged Japan, energy policy is an especially critical policy area for the Japanese government. In comparing energy policy making in Japan and Germany, Japan’s policy community is relatively firm (Hartwig et al., 2015), and it is improbable that institutional change can occur. The Japanese government’s approach to energy policy has shifted incrementally in the past half century, with the most recent being the 2012 implementation of the “Feed-In Tariff Law” (Act on Special Measures Concerning Procurement of Renewable Electric Energy by Operators of Electric Utilities), which encourages new investment in renewable electricity generation and promotes the use of renewable energy. Yet, who were the actors involved and the factors that influenced the establishment of this new law? This study attempts to assess the factors associated with implementing the law as well as the roles of the relevant major actors. In answering this question, we focus on identifying the policy networks among government, political parties, and interest groups, which suggests that success in persuading key economic groups could be a factor in promoting the law. Our data is based on the “Global Environmental Policy Network Survey 2012-2013 (GEPON2)” which was conducted immediately after the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake with respondents including political parties, the government, interest groups, and civil society organizations. Our results suggest that the Feed in Tariff (FIT) Law’s network structure is similar to the information network and support network, and that the actors at the center of the network support the FIT Law. The strength of our research lays in our focus on political networks and their contributing mechanism to the law’s implementation through analysis of the political process. From an academic perspective, identifying the key actors and factors may be significant in explaining institutional change in policy areas with high path dependency. Close examination of this issue also has implications for a society that can promote renewable and sustainable energy resources.

The Paper Explores The Problem Of Recommending Talks To Attend At International Research Conferences. When Researchers Participate In Conferences, Finding Interesting Talks To Attend Is A Real Challenge. Given That Several Presentation Sessions And Social Activities Are Typically Held At A Time, And There Is Little Time To Analyze All Alternatives, It Is Easy To Miss Important Talks. In Addition, Compared With Recommendations Of Products Such As Movies, Books, Music, Etc. The Recipients Of Talk Recommendations (i.e. Conference Attendees) Already Formed Their Own Research Community On The Center Of The Conference Topics. Hence, Recommending Conference Talks Contains Highly Social Context. This Study Suggests That This Domain Would Be Suitable For Social Network-Based Recommendations. In Order To Find Out The Most Effective Recommendation Approach, Three Sources Of Information Were Explored For Talk Recommendation-Whateach Talk Is About (Content), Who Scheduled The Talks (Collaborative), And How The Users Are Connected Socially (Social). Using These Three Sources Of Information, This Paper Examined Several Direct And Hybrid Recommendation Algorithms To Help Users Find Interesting Talks More Easily. Using A Dataset Of A Conference Scheduling System, Conference Navigator, Multiple Approaches Ranging From Classic Content-Based And Collaborative Filtering Recommendations To Social Network-Based Recommendations Were Compared. As The Result, For Cold-Start Users Who Have Insufficient Number Of Items To Express Their Preferences, The Recommendations Based On Their Social Networks Generated The Best Suggestions.

Objectives : Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs), collaborations of practitioners and academic researchers, have provided platforms for conducting research to address clinical questions generated from daily routine care. This review aimed to critically analyse articles from PBRNs that are related to complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) and to suggest future directions for a PBRN which is appropriate for Korean Medicine (KM). Methods : PubMed, PBRN registries in Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and relevant PBRN websites were searched up to November 2019 for research articles from PBRNs that focused on CIM regardless of study design. Methodological quality of the included studies was assessed. The included studies were read in full, classified and summarised according to their topics. Results : A total of 51 articles published from 1998 through 2020 were included in this review. They were categorised into three principal themes based on research questions and findings: health services research (embracing researches examining characteristics of patients and CIM practitioners/practices, and communication between patients and practitioners); effectiveness and safety of CIM practices/interventions; and feasibility studies of instruments and interventions in PBRN settings. The study designs varied including surveys (n=30), prospective observational studies (n=6), 2ndary analyses of existing studies (n=7), protocols (n=7), retrospective chart review (n=1) and qualitative study (n=1). Quality of the included studies greatly varied. Conclusions : PBRNs can serve as a feasible platform for conducting practice-relevant research on KM and CIM. Considering growing demands on evidence-base for routine practice of KM amid various stakeholders, a PBRN in KM community and further researches nested within PBRN designs are warranted.

As COVID-19, which occurred at the end of 2019, has become a global pandemic, it has emerged as an unprecedented event that quickly destroys a nation's medical and healthcare system in both developed and developing countries. In the 21st century, most of the civil society that aimed for hyperconnected society is facing a new crisis that has not been experienced so far. Indeed, lack of personal protective equipment, isolation of clustered communities, disruption of medical systems necessary for diagnosis and treatment, and disruption of educational and economic activities due to social isolation are emerging. Since the COVID-19 has occurred, many of the difficulties that have occurred in the past six months indicate the basic infrastructure a society should have particularly in a pandemic. These include personal protective equipment (PPE), decontamination and quarantine tools essential for effective response, rapid and precise large-scale diagnosis, medical devices required for patient care, and identification and fast and wide on-line networks that can be used in social isolation. In this first part, we would like to introduce some representative examples of 1) personal protective equipment, 2) prevention of personal and community health, 3) social response through big data and networks within the framework of appropriate technology.

In the modern academic research environment, the advancement of digital technology provides researchers with increasingly diverse and rich access to information, but at the same time, the issue of author identification has emerged as a new challenge. The problem of author identification is a major factor that undermines the transparency and accuracy of academic communication, potentially causing confusion in the accurate attribution of research results and the construction of research networks. In response, identifier systems such as the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) and Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) have been introduced, but still face limitations due to low participation by authors and inaccurate entry of information. This study focuses on researching information management methods for identification from the moment author information is first entered into the system, proposing ways to improve the accuracy of author identification and maximize the efficiency of academic information services. Through this, it aims to renew awareness of the issue of author identification within the academic community and present concrete measures that related institutions and researchers can take to solve this problem.

This study aimed to verify the effects of nutritional status, K-ADL, K-IADL, and social network on the life satisfaction of the elderly in home. Total 213 research subjects participated in this study, and their average age was 71.38±5.59. As the methods of analysis, using the SPSS 21.0, this study examined the differences between variables in accordance with the general characteristics, and then verified the correlations between independent variables of nutritional status, K-ADL, K-IADL, social network(family networks, friends networks), and life satisfaction. In order to verify the factors having effects on the life satisfaction of the elderly in home, the stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted. In the results of this study, in the general characteristics, the life satisfaction showed statistically significant differences in accordance with education(F=5.280, p=.002), economic condition(F=22.407, p<.001), monthly income(F=3.181, p=.015), and subjective health status(F=14.933, p<.001). In the results of verifying the correlation between independent variables, the life satisfaction showed positive correlations with family networks(r=268, p<.001) and friends networks(r=.286, p<.001) while the nutritional status(r=-.222, p=.001), K-IADL(r=-.235, p=.001), and interdependent social support(r=-.283, p<.001) showed negative correlations. The predictive factors on the life satisfaction of the elderly in home included the economic condition(β=.358, p<.001), subjective health status(β=.245, p<.001), interdependent social support(β=-.158, p=.009), and K-IADL(β=-.153, p=.012), and the explanatory power was 30.1%. The regression model was statistically significant(F=23.778, p<.001). Based on such results of this study, it would be necessary to develop programs that could maintain and improve the health of the elderly, and also provide financial support to the elderly suffering from economic hardship, in order to improve the life satisfaction of the elderly in home. Moreover, there should be the concrete measures for vitalizing the community-connected activities for interdependent social support.

The purpose of this study is to find out the operational status of regionally focused home rearing support projects. The existing rearing support policies on the government level are assessed as not capable of reflecting various requirements of each family and not practically supportive. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, this study focused on the operation case of Jinju City's child rearing comprehensive support center, which is operating various rearing support projects on the regional community level. To find out the operation status of regionally focused home rearing, this study performed literature collection related to home rearing support projects in JinjuCity, interviewed the persons in charge as well as participants, and observation by actual participation. The results show the characteristics of realization of publicity in child rearing focused on municipalities, operation of projects with consistent directionality, and creation of networks reflecting various characteristics and requirements of the community, through the operation status of regionally focused home rearing. This study will be a useful reference for the settlement and operation of the child rearing comprehensive support center, which is entering into a new transition period, and is meaningful as this study provides the basic material for the desirable direction to be pursued by the regionally focused home rearing support projects.
