The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a dietary education program to improve the caring ability and multicultural acceptance of middle school students. Based on the instructional system design of ADDIE model, the dietary education program was developed to contain five sessions including four theoretical lectures and one lab session. Visual thinking technique was used to train students to express their thoughts and emotion by writing and drawing. The dietary education program was conducted for four weeks (from November 19 to December 14, 2018) at a middle school located in Seoul on a total of 69 middle school students, out of which 34 were assigned to an experimental group and 35 were assigned to a control group. Separate paired t-test were conducted for the experimental group and the control group, respectively, to determine the changes in caring ability and multicultural acceptance scores before and after the dietary education. There were significant increases in caring ability (dietary-, emotional-, behavioral- and cognitive caring) and multicultural acceptance (diversity, relationship and universality) scores among the experimental group after the dietary program. However, no differences were observed among the control group. The results indicate that the dietary education program can be an effective tool to improve caring ability and multicultural acceptance of middle school students.

This study examined return policies of the Korean retailers and their differences by retail format. Return policies of 363 retailers including dept stores, discount stores, brand consignment stores, small shops, outlet stores, TV home shopping companies, and internet shopping malls were collected. Acceptance of refund or/and exchange, return grace period, and return requirements or restrictions of each retailer were analyzed. The results showed that most retail formats except small shops and internet shopping malls allowed refund. The seven day return grace period was most common though large retail chains allowed more generous time frames and small shops allowed shorter dates. Restrictions for return varied by retailers and retail formats. Generally retailers followed the guidelines of consumer protection laws. The study discussed implications of return policy analysis.

With the growing acceptance of XML technologies, XML will be the most common tool for all data manipulation and data transmission. Meeting security requirements for privacy, confidentiality and integrity is essential in order to move business online and it is important for security to be integrated with XML solutions. Many policies require certain conditions to be satisfied and actions to be performed before or after a decision is made. Binary yes/no decision to an access request is not enough for many applications. These issues were addressed and formalized as provisions and obligations by Betti et Al. In this paper, we propose an authorization model with provisions and obligations in XML. We introduce a formal definition of authorization policy and the issues involving obligation discussed by Betti et Al. We use the formal model as a basis to develop an authorization model in XML. We develop DTDs in XML for main components such as authorization request, authorization policy and authorization decision. We plan to develop an authorization system using the model proposed.

The purpose of this empirical study is to evaluate efficiency of the regional public hospitals, using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). to do this, we design a DEA-AR/AHP Hybrid model to evaluate efficiency of 34 Regional Public Hospitals. the proposed model is developed by adding Acceptance Region(AR). using analytical hierarchy process(AHP). this model is compared with those of typical DEA models. Financial data used in this study were obtained from Database of the Korea Association Regional Public Hospital and analyzed using DEA model. As a result of analysis, This study found that the DEA-AR/AHP Hybrid model was superior to those typical DEA models in determining the priority among efficient hospitals. the result of this study can provide helpful information to evaluate the efficiency of public hospitals for efficient operational management, to develop more precise measurement for the priority of the efficient hospitals.

This article aims to identify the quality factors of public data which have increased as a public issue; analyze the impact of users satisfaction in the perspective of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and investigate the effect of service satisfaction on the government's open policy of public data. This study is consistent with Total Data Quality Management (TDQM) of MIT, it focuses on three main qualities except Contextual Data Quality (CDQ) and includes seven independent variables : accuracy, reliability, fairness for Intrinsic Data Quality (IDQ), accessibility, security for Accessibility Data Quality (ADQ), Consistent representation and understandability for Representational Data Quality (RDQ). Basing on TAM, the research model was conducted to examine which factors affect to perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, service satisfaction and how service satisfaction affects to the government's open policy of public data. The results showed that accuracy, fairness, understandability affect both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness; while reliability, consistent representation, security, and accessibility affect only perceived ease of use. This article found that the influence of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness and the influence of these two causes on service satisfaction in the perspective of TAM were significant and it was consistent with prior studies. The service satisfaction when using public data leads to the reliability of public data open policy. As an initial study on unstructured public data open policy, this article offered quality factors that pubic data providers should consider and also present the operation plan of public data open policy in the future.

Radioactive waste processing and disposal is a major problem that needs to be fully addressed by countries that use nuclear power. In recent years, only a few countries have made substantial progress on this issue, and the French stepwise legislative approach on radioactive waste management is evaluated as a successful case. For South Korea, it is still necessary to prepare an adequate national policy for dealing with radioactive waste so the French model has been suggested as a direction of policy making in Korea. Based on comparisons of technical status and sociopolitical indexes in both countries, then this study suggests that the French legislative model is a valid one which may be applicable to the Korean context, especially in relation to resource recycling and social acceptance enhancement strategies.
