This study is aimed at identifying China's land operating system in the great leap periods. the findings are as follows. For one thing, though the landownership in China was basically performed in public, a portion of private management was allowed. The more this kind of private management allowed, the more the life standard of farmers enhanced. For another thing, the conversion from agricultural cooperatives to people's commune happened swiftly, and the problems according to the conversion arose instantly, which made the operation system changed partially. The last, but not the least, even in the point of the rapid communistic movement, private management was locally accepted in the name of three self and one private management. Besides, as we can recognize from the case study of Daichai village, the operation of a large working group and a small working group was done in political context.

We can efficiently collect crops or minerals by operating multi-robot foraging. As foraging spaces become wider, control algorithms demand scalability and reliability. Swarm robotics is a state-of-the-art algorithm on wide foraging spaces due to its advantages, such as self-organization, robustness, and flexibility. However, high initial and operating costs are main barriers in performing multi-robot foraging system. In this paper, we propose a novel method to improve the energy efficiency of the system to reduce operating costs. The idea is to employ a new behavior model regarding role division in concert with the search space division.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the level of knowledge, self-confidence, and intention of basic life support (BLS) and identify the reason why clinical nurses lack confidence to initiate BLS at the cardiac arrest scene. Method: A cross-sectional survey was used with questionnaires which authors developed; a BLS knowledge questionnaire and a tool for measuring the level of self-confidence and intention of performing BLS. The subjects consisted of 396 nurses by convenient sampling from ten small to medium sized hospitals in Korea. Data were collected from March to August, 2008. Data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 14.0 program with t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The percentile score of BLS knowledge was 40.6%, self-confidence 62.1%, and intention 73.0%. Clinical career rather than BLS knowledge has a significant effect on increasing the self-confidence and intention of performing BLS. A major reason for not performing BLS was lack of confidence in operating an AED (automatic external defibrillator). Conclusion: An effective and continuous training program especially including AED for CPR should be provided with clinical nurses to increase self-confidence and intention of performing BLS and to improve the survival of cardiac arrest patients in the hospital.

Purpose: In this study, an attempt was made to identify the extent of dental technicians' perception of professionalism and examine to what extent the perception of professionalism impacts self-development and professionalism improvement activities. Methods: An online survey was conducted for 391 dental technicians for 20 days (i.e., from October 20 to November 10, 2020). Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable, and multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the degree of influence of independent variables on self-development and professionalism improvement activities. Results: As a result of examining the impact of dental technicians' perception of professionalism on self-development and professionalism improvement activities, it was revealed that all four subareas of the perception of professionalism, i.e., professional qualification, professional autonomy, social perception, and the sense of calling, were positively impacted. Conclusion: (1) It is necessary to compare and analyze the differences in the perception of professionalism among various dental technologist groups, prepare programs to improve them, and endeavor to ensure the growth of organizational operating system. (2) Self-development and professionalism improvement activities need to be supported so that dental technologists can immerse themselves in their duties with affections for the organization and contemplate and provide educational programs to workers.

This paper propose a new ESD protection device suitable for 12V class applications by adding a self-biasing structure to an ESD protection device with high holding voltage due to additional parasitic bipolar BJT. To verify the operating principle and electrical characteristics of the proposed device, current density simulation and HBM simulation were performed using Synopsys' TCAD Simulation, and the operation of the additional self-biasing structure was confirmed. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the proposed ESD protection device has a higher level of holding voltage compared to the existing ESD protection device. It is expected to have high area efficiency due to the dual structure and sufficient latch-up immunity in 12V-class applications.

Purpose : This study aims to understand the effects of job-seeking stress on depression and self-esteem in college students majoring in health science. Methods : In this study, in order to measure college students' employment stress, depression, self-esteem, and social support, a measurement tool was used by modifying and supplementing the questionnaire to suit the purpose and method of this study. The subjects, 210 students (46 men and 164 women) enrolled in colleges located in Busan, had their scores on the Beck depression inventory (BDI), job-seeking stress scale, and self-esteem scale measured. Results : There was a positive correlation between all sub-variables of employment stress, and a negative correlation between employment stress and self-esteem. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between employment stress and depression, and a negative correlation was found between self-esteem and depression. The result taken from the job-stress scale showed that women experienced an overall higher level of stress than men while seeking jobs. Furthermore, in terms of the BDI, men exhibited a higher level of depression than women when subjected to job-seeking stress. Finally, the results from the self-esteem scale reveal that men exhibited less self-esteem than women. Conclusion : A comprehensive review of the study's findings suggested that women had greater job-seeking stress than men. Additionally, it found that, for men, job-seeking stress had a greater impact on depression levels and self-esteem. These results suggest that a higher level of job-seeking stress may lead to higher levels of depression and lower levels of self-esteem. It will be useful to conduct follow-up research by operating self-esteem and depression programs.

Purpose: This study was aimed to provide information on the awareness of patient safety culture and safety care activities among operating room (OR) nurses and to analyze the factors influencing the safety care activities. Methods: For this descriptive research, self-reported questionnaires were administered to 168 OR nurses who were working at the university-affiliated and general hospitals. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\grave{e}}$ test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 17.0. Results: The mean score of the awareness on patient safety culture was 3.27 out of 5 points and that of safety care activity was 4.31 out of 5. The statistically significant difference was found between experience of safety education and the awareness on patient safety culture. Also, the scores of safety care activities were significantly different according to OR nurses' position, education levels, and experience of safety education. There was a positive correlation between the awareness of patient safety culture and safety care activity. Their explanatory power on safety care activity was 8.8%, which includes working environment in operating room 3.3% and nursing position 5.5%. Conclusion: Compared to the level of patient safety activities, the OR nurses' awareness on patient safety culture was low. Given the specific characteristics and conditions in each hospital, it needs to increase the OR nurses' awareness on patient safety culture and activities related to patient safety.
