This study examines how gamification strategies on the NFT photocard platform, Cosmo, influence fan engagement and immersion, exploring how NFT technology enhances fan experiences within K-pop fandoms. Through the case of Cosmo, this research provides theoretical support for NFT photocards in promoting digital ownership and increasing fan immersion. Additionally, the study highlights that NFT technology fosters interaction between fans and artists, offering a novel means to strengthen fan loyalty. The generalized NFT photocard development plan proposed in this study is at a stage that requires empirical validation, with a limitation being the lack of user evaluations for analyzing fan immersion experiences. Future studies could expand comparisons among NFT platforms and explore the potential applications of NFTs, such as their use as VR concert tickets, to enhance fan experiences.

This study aims to analyze consumers' perceptions of ESG(Environmental, Social, and Governance) and their responses to accessibility improvements through braille labeling using text mining and surveys. By employing text mining techniques, we analyzed BIGKinds data to extract key keywords related to ESG and gain in-depth insights into consumer reactions. To this end, survey data collected from 190 participants was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results revealed that ESG management activities significantly influence corporate attitudes and customer engagement behaviors. Furthermore, corporate attitudes and customer engagement behaviors positively affect satisfaction and usage intentions, respectively. The findings of this study provide practical implications for companies to implement ESG activities more comprehensively and adopt accessibility enhancement measures such as braille labeling. Additionally, it is expected to contribute to the development of effective marketing strategies that enable companies to fulfill their social responsibilities while simultaneously enhancing their brand image.

The purpose of this study was to analyze whether community resilience is a factor affecting elderly depression after a disaster and what mediating effect social support has in the relationship between these variables. The research subjects were 876 people from the 2018 Disaster Victim Panel Survey (3rd year) collected by the National Disaster Safety Research Institute. As a result of the study, first, the level of depression in the elderly who experienced disaster was found to be higher than the elderly in Korea. Second, the depression in the elderly by disaster was found to have a negative correlation with community resilience and social support. Third, community resilience after disaster was found to be an independent variable for elderly depression, and social support was found to be a mediating factor, each negatively affecting the dependent variable, elderly depression. It was suggested that psychological counseling and treatment programs should be provided to the elderly who have experienced disasters, community resilience and social support networks should be built and strengthened to ensure their safety from disasters, and customized disaster preparedness plans for the elderly that fit the characteristics of the local community and post-disaster management systems should be strengthened.

This study empirically analyzed the effects of surface acting and deep acting of emotional labor on job satisfaction and the level of service quality provided to customers for beauty industry workers. The results of the analysis showed that surface acting of emotional labor had a significant negative (-) effect on intrinsic job satisfaction, and deep acting had a significant positive (+) effect on intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction. Intrinsic job satisfaction had a significant positive (+) effect on tangibility, reliability, assurance, responsiveness, and empathy, and extrinsic job satisfaction had a significant positive (+) effect on tangibility, responsiveness, reliability, and assurance. Surface acting of emotional labor had a significant negative (-) effect on tangibility, reliability, and assurance, and deep acting had a significant positive (+) effect on reliability, assurance, responsiveness, and empathy. This suggests that it is desirable to establish systems such as compliance with working hours and reasonable compensation at the organizational level so that employees can focus on their work with emotional stability, and to operate various programs for emotional fatigue recovery. This research is expected to be useful in establishing strategies for how to manage the emotions of beauty workers at the individual and organizational levels.

With the emergence of next-generation technologies leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the role of libraries has expanded beyond traditional information provision to encompass data management and utilization, alongside the exponential growth of digital data. Consequently, the necessity for data librarians has become increasingly prominent within the library sector, highlighting the urgent need for specialized training programs to cultivate such professionals. To address this need, this study conducted a demand analysis targeting librarians in universities and specialized libraries across South Korea to design an education program tailored for training Korean data librarians. Various analytical approaches were applied based on the collected data. The findings indicate that librarians recognize the necessity of acquiring diverse competencies, including data literacy, data analysis and utilization, and data curation, with a particularly strong emphasis on the importance of data education. Based on these findings, this study is expected to contribute to the establishment of a systematic educational model for training data librarians and the development of practical, field-oriented data education programs.

With the rapid advancement of AI technology and its application across various industries, the importance of information security and data management has significantly increased. Consequently, a standardized management framework is essential to effectively address information security threats in AI systems and to establish appropriate protective measures. This study aims to address these challenges by analyzing the key requirements of the AI management framework outlined in ISO 42001 and identifying security management audit items suitable for AI environments. Specifically, this study focuses on identifying information security control items that ensure the reliability, transparency, and ethical use of AI systems, while proposing inspection criteria applicable to the design, operation, and maintenance processes of AI systems. Through these efforts, this research seeks to provide a concrete management framework that enables organizations operating AI systems to comply with ISO 42001, minimize information security risks, and build trustworthy AI environments. The findings are expected to contribute practically to the establishment of information security and management systems in various industries where AI technology is applied.

This study aims to explore the impact of sex, age, home digital resources and mother-child digital co-use on the development of preschoolers' digital literacy. The study was conducted with 514 preschoolers and their mothers from Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daejeon, and Daegu, using parent-reported questionnaires for data collection. The findings indicate that no significant effect of gender was found. Age influences young children's digital literacy, with higher levels of digital literacy (including operational and cultural digital literacy) observed as age increases. A greater availability of home digital resources is positively associated with higher levels of digital literacy in preschoolers, including both operational and cultural digital literacy. However, mother-child digital co-use was not significantly correlated with preschoolers’ digital literacy. This suggests that digital resources in the home play a crucial role in the development of young children's digital literacy. More importantly, rather than the mere frequency of parent-child joint use of digital devices, the quality of interactions may have a more significant impact on young children's digital literacy development. The study provides practical implications for policy-making, parent education, and teacher training programs aimed at enhancing digital literacy in early childhood education.

Recently, cyber attacks tend to occur regardless of internal and external networks of individuals, companies, and government agencies. Among these, the main principle of the Zero Trust security model is to respond to internal abnormal access through re-authentication, continuous management, and constant monitoring for all users, and is attracting a lot of attention to related organizations and companies that require it. However, unlike other security models, the zero trust security model is expected to face problems due to strengthening system and internal network security, and it is judged that supplementation is necessary to activate and standardize the zero trust security model. Therefore, this study examines the problems and limitations caused by the main principles of the zero trust security model through web materials and documents, and explores solutions to several limitations from various perspectives through construction cases considering the situation of domestic Zero Trust, and is expected to be used as basic data for stable implementation, construction, and standardization in the future.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the role of sports leaders and the public diplomacy for the sake of developing the relationship between Korea and Vietnam. The Korean sports leaders should find athletes through the close cooperation between two countries' athlete organizations and set up and run educational institutions to breed up professional human resources. Also, utilizing K-culture in Vietnam, Korean leaders should make a route to interact for the people of two countries. As an example of Park Hangseo the ex-manager of the Vietnamese national soccer team. this study proposes some measures for the Korean sports leaders to keep in mind as below. Firstly, the Korean sports leaders should show excellent leadership to get good results of the team. Secondly, they should contribute to the national integration through the sports. Thirdly, they should cultivate and develop the sports related social infrastructure. Fourthly, they should behave like non-official diplomats for spreading Han-ryu. Fifthly, they should be active in public development assistance through the sports. Lastly, they should be active in Vietnamese public development assistance bearing the international benefits in mind rather than short-sighted interests of the country.

This study explored the categorization and characteristics of cases of workplace incivility for new employees. In the first, cases were analyzed through literature data, paper-delivered statements, and 1:1 in interviews to build the Qpopulation. In the second, 296 statements collected from the Qpopulation were selected with the help of a third validity test and experts, and the final 52 Qsamples were selected. In the third, a total of 30 people were selected as a Psample, and in the fourth, the selected Psample people were asked to classify the Qsample statements, and in this case, the statements were placed with strong disagreement, neutrality, and strong consent, and then recorded by applying a 9-point scale. In the fifth, factor analysis was conducted using the PC-QUANL. The research results are as follows. There are four types of damage cases of workplace incivility, and the first type was derived as 'public and private division type', the second type was 'educational department type', the third type was 'emotional labor type', and the fourth type was 'monthly pay lupin type'. This study is to provide basic data and implications applicable to the development of programs to prevent the perpetration and damage of workplace incivility, which has a negative impact on individuals and the organization as a whole.
