This study aimed at overviewing the situation of information literacy education and research in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, and developing an ASEAN network model on information literacy. This research used documentary and qualitative research methods. Key resources consisted of twenty bibliometric studies and related documents and two groups of key persons. The first group consisted of twenty-seven purposive key persons from eight countries, and the second group consisted of seven key persons from five countries. The research instruments comprised a data collection form and focus group/ interviewing forms. Data was collected by focus group discussion and online interviews, and qualitative content analysis was used in data analysis and presented descriptively. Research findings showed that: 1) information literacy education and research in the ASEAN region varied across countries and placed importance on the educational context. Singapore was found to be the most leading and productive country in ASEAN in information literacy with the highest number of journal articles on the international scale, and was among the most contributing groups at the regional and global level; 2) the ASEAN Network on Information Literacy (ASEAN-NIL) has been developed as a model with its principles, objectives, management system, activities, and promotion strategies. Its strengths are an integrated scope, multidimensional orientation, and interdisciplinary and collaborative partnerships at the national, regional, and international level, suitable for the ASEAN context, the online environment, and the digital educational ecosystem.

This study aims to understand microaggressions directed toward international students from the perspective of international exchange professionals, who tend to be in relatively close contact with international students. This study targeted professionals who directly advise and support international students at university international exchange centers in J and G cities. The data were collected by conducting focus group interviews with seven participants in two groups from 25 May to 8 June 2023. Data were collected by conducting focus group interviews of seven participants in two groups from 25 May to 8 June 2023. After analyzing the interview data using thematic analysis, two themes emerged: the experiences of international students and the perspectives of international exchange professionals. The experience of international were further categorized into three sub-themes: differences in cultural context, academic discrimination, and discrimination due to lack of information. The perspectives of international exchange professionals were further categorized into three sub-themes: limited access to infrastructure, different perspectives depending on the level of the country, and consideration as a barrier. It is hoped that the findings of this study, obtained by exploring the microdiscrimination faced by international students at universities, will facilitate the development of different systems and policy recommendations to improve the experiences of international students.

This study aims to investigate the difference in the perception of shippers on the quality of air freight service between air express and air freight forwarders. This study suggests hypothesis verification and implications on importance-performance between two groups of air express and air freight forwarders. In this study, we find that important variables through paired t-test and importance-performance analysis. As a result of paired t-test, there was a difference in the use variables of the document work variables through computerization in the importance area. In the satisfaction area, there was a difference between the groups in the response to customer request and the response to accidents. The variables that need to improve the focus derived from the importance-performance analysis are document work through computer and response to accidents.

In this study, focus group interviews were used to investigate female university students' eating behavior, factors related to eating behavior, information sources for nutrition, and formats for nutrition education. Thirty-six students participated in one of five focus groups during December 1998 in Seoul. Focus group discussions were video, audio-taped, transcribed and analyzed by major themes. Results showed that subjects have undesirable eating behaviors, such s eating irregular meals and skipping meals. These behaviors are caused by a lack of time, habit, or for the purpose of losing weight. The students tended to have unbalanced diets and frequently ate out. They had a large amount for dinner and frequently snaked when stressed or had an empty stomach. Most of them were interested in weight control and had attempted to lose weight, but they did not participate in regular exercise. The most frequently used source for nutrition information was the mass media, but much nutrition information was based on what they learned from home economics class during middle to high school. They received more support from mothers, elder sisters, and friends for eating behaviors, such s lowering caloric intake and losing weight. In nutrition education, they wanted to learns behaviorla skills to adopt healthy behaviors, including meal planning, applying scientific weight control methods, exercise that fit into their lives, and stress management. They also mentioned that nutrition screening and assessment should be a part of nutrition education programs. As a method for nutrition education, subjects preferred an individualized approach to group education.

본 연구는 만성 심부전 환자를 대상으로 스마트폰을 활용한 자가관리에 대한 환자의 인식을 파악하고자 스마트폰을 이용하는 만성심부전 환자 11명을 대상으로 질적연구의 한 방법인 포커스 그룹을 이용하였다. 환자는 세 그룹으로 나누어 조사하였고 면담 시 녹취한 자료를 기록하여 내용분석하였다. 그 결과 자가관리에 대한 인식은 자가관리 보조, 일상생활 불편, 혼란스러운 건강정보, 개인정보노출에 대한 두려움이었고, 방해요인은 요금부담, 노화에 따른 사용의 어려움, 사용방법에 대한 이해부족, 부정적 건강신념이었으며, 촉진요인은 이해가 쉬운 건강정보 전달, 의료진과 환자 간 의사소통 채널, 심리사회적지지, 개별화된 건강관리로 범주화 되었다. 그러므로 심부전 환자를 위한 모바일 자가관리 프로그램 개발 시 심부전 환자의 요구도와 선호도에 대한 측면과 스마트폰 활용을 함에 있어 긍정적 혹은 부정적 영향요인을 고려하여 설계하는 데 기초자료를 제공할 것이다.

상품 품질의 격차가 줄어들면서 소비자의 쇼핑경험을 결정하는데 점포 VMD가 핵심 차별요소가 되고 있다. 기존 점포 VMD연구가 점포관리자에게 많은 전략적 통찰력을 제공하고 있지만 같은 점포환경에서도 소비자마다 쇼핑경험이 다르게 나타나는 원인에 대한 해답을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 연구의 갭을 해소하여 소비자 조절초점 이론을 적용하여 쇼핑환경과 소비행동간 관계를 규명하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 실증연구결과, 향상초점 성향의 소비자는 VMD의 실용적 혜택보다는 쾌락적 혜택이 점포방문의도에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 반해 예방초점 소비자는 VMD의 쾌락적 혜택보다는 실용적 혜택이 점포방문의도에 더 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과는 점포관리자의 VMD 전략이나 포지셔닝 전략을 수립하는데 실무적 시사점을 제공한다.

Trust and trustworthiness of web services and organizations is calculated as scalar values. But there is still a certain level of risk for the overall reliability of this value. In this article, we focus on calculating trust values as intervals between upper and lower bounds based on predefined confidence values through an additional confidence probability. This will give us a more realistic approach to the trust assessments between individuals and organizations. We also developed a web-based software tool, TAST (Trust Assessment Software Tool) that collects the web services' evaluation of different customer groups for similar organizations through the user interface and calculates the trust intervals for predefined and previously selected confidence values. Our model uses a weighted calculation of mean and variances of customer groups in specific periods and analyses the total and incremental trust of different customer groups.
