This paper examined what structural relationship metacognition and flow, which are identified as major variables that positively influence creative problem solving ability, had with mathematics creative problem solving ability. For this purpose, the Mathematics Creative Problem Solving Ability Test (MCPSAT) was given go 196 general second-year middle school students, and their cognitive and affective states were measured with metacognition and flow tests. The three variables' relationships were examined through a correlation analysis and, through structural equation modeling, the mediating effect of flow was tested in the structural relationships between the three variables and in the relationship between metacognition and mathematics creative problem solving ability. The results of the research show that metacognition did not directly influence mathematics creative solving ability, but exerted influence through the mediating variable of flow. A more detailed examination shows that while metacognition did not influence fluency and originality from among the measured variables for mathematics creative problem solving ability, it did directly influence flexibility. In particular, metacognition's indirect influence through the mediating variable of flow was shown to be much stronger than its direct influence on flexibility. This research showed that the students' high metacognition ability increased flow degree in the problem solving process, and problem solving in this state of flow increased their mathematics creative problem solving ability.

The five cash flow measurement variables discussed in financial accrual part were used as variables and these variables were defined as NI, NIDPR, CFO, CFAI, CC. To measure the cash flow B/S related variables, P/L related variables and financial ratio related variables were utilized in this study. To measure cash flow models were designed and to estimate the prediction ability of five cash flow models, the martingale model and the market model were utilized. To estimate relative prediction outcome of cash flow prediction model and simple market model, MAE and MER were used to compare and analyze relative prediction ability of the cash flow model and the market model and to prove superiority of the model of the cash flow prediction model, 32 Regional Public Hospital's cross-section data and 4 year time series data were combined and pooled cross-sectional time series regression model was used for GLS-analysis. To analyze this data, Firstly, each cash flow prediction model, martingale model and market model were made and MAE and MER were estimated. Secondly difference-test was conducted to find the difference between MAE and MER of cash flow prediction model. Thirdly after ranking by size the prediction of cash flow model, martingale model and market model, Friedman-test was evaluated to find prediction ability. The results of this study were as follows: when t-test was conducted to find prediction ability among each model, the error of prediction of cash flow model was smaller than that of martingale and market model, and the difference of prediction error cash flow was significant, so cash flow model was analyzed as excellent compare with other models. This research results can be considered conductive in that present the suitable prediction model of future cash flow to the hospital. This research can provide valuable information in policy-making of hospital's policy decision. This research provide effects as follows; (1) the research is useful to estimate the benefit of hospital, solvency and capital supply ability for substitution of fixed equipment. (2) the research is useful to estimate hospital's liqudity, solvency and financial ability. (3) the research is useful to estimate evaluation ability in hospital management. Furthermore, the research should be continued by sampling all hospitals and constructed advanced cash flow model in dimension, established type and continued by studying unified model which is related each cash flow model.

It is important to keep learners' feeling positive during learning to enhance learning performance. According to flow theory,challenge-skill balance is a precondition for flow experience: Learners feel anxiety when the challenge of learning is higher than their ability, feel boredom when the challenge of learning is lower than learners' ability, and engage in flow status when the challenge of learning matches the learners' ability. However, the current empirical study reveals that emotions related to enjoyment may appear when the learners' skill is equal to or higher than the learning challenge. Nevertheless, boredom emotion may appear when learners perceive the courses are difficult but unimportant. These empirical survey results revealed the necessary of rethinking the appearance of boredom and enjoyment emotions in computer education.

The purpose of this study was to verify the moderating effect of parental learning involvement in the effect of adolescents' time management ability on face-to-face and non-face-to-face learning flow. The participants were 363 middle and high school adolescents, and data were collected through an online survey. The main statistical analysis methods were ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The major findings were as follows. First, learning flow was significantly higher in the face-to-face class than in the non-face-to-face class. Second, there was a statistically significant positive correlation among time management ability, parental involvement in learning, and learning flow. Third, in the effect of time management ability on face-to-face learning flow, the moderating effect of parental learning involvement was statistically significant. Fourth, in the effect of time management ability on non-face-to-face learning flow, the moderating effect of parental learning involvement was statistically significant. In other words, the higher the positive parental involvement in learning, the stronger the effect of adolescents' time management ability on learning flow. Finally, the importance of positive parental involvement for the improvement of adolescents' learning flow and methods of enhancing time management ability were discussed.
