The purpose of this study is to establish the MANG-U History & Culture Park as a 'place of memory' that honors Korea's modern cultural heritage beyond a simple 'park'. To this end, this paper studied the development direction of MANG-U Historical & Culture Park, focusing on representative figures corresponding to the discovery, reproduction, and transmission of memories. The results of the discussion are as follows. Hugh-Yun, who corresponds to the discovery of memory, was able to become a symbolic figure that informs the historical meaning of the MANG-U History & Culture Park as a place of memory. Yu Gwan-soon, who corresponds to the representation of memory, saw that memories can only be reproduced if there are various activities such as musicals, exhibitions, photography exhibitions, literary creations, and academic seminars. Takumi Asakawa, which corresponds to the transmission of memories, opened a new chapter in Korea-Japan exchange as a symbolic person, suggesting that Korea and Japan can enter a friendly relationship rather than a hostile relationship in the future if exchanges proceed actively at the private level.

Nursing simulation education plays a crucial role in enhancing core competencies among nursing students by providing a learning experience that closely resembles real clinical environments. However, the aspect of learner psychological safety requires further investigation. This study aimed to examine the impact of psychological safety during the pre-briefing phase of nursing simulation education on educational satisfaction and team efficacy. A descriptive survey and correlational study were conducted involving 88 fourth-year nursing students from two universities within a single region. The research instruments included questionnaires designed to measure general characteristics, psychological safety, educational satisfaction, and team efficacy. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. The results indicated that nursing students reported relatively high levels of psychological safety, which were significantly and positively correlated with both educational satisfaction and team efficacy. In particular, psychological safety was found to positively influence educational satisfaction and team efficacy. This study demonstrated that psychological safety during the pre-briefing phase of nursing simulation training is closely related to training satisfaction and team efficacy. These findings suggest that it is essential to consider learners' psychological safety in instructional design and that instructors should actively employ strategies to promote psychological safety by providing structured pre-briefings.

This study aimed to identify and analyse the factors influencing nursing students' nursing professionalism within the evolving clinical education environment post COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on education related factors. An online survey was conducted from November 11 to December 10, 2024, targeting 142 third- and fourth-year nursing students at a nursing college in Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 software, employing independent samples t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between the participants' nursing professionalism and clinical practice satisfaction (r = .52, p < .001), clinical performance ability (r = .46, p < .001) and satisfaction in major(r = .52, p < .001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the variables significantly influencing nursing professionalism were satisfaction in major(β = .316, p < .001) and clinical performance ability (β = .288, p < .001), explaining 41.2% of the variance. In conclusion, to cultivate nursing students' nursing professionalism, it is necessary to develop systematic educational programmes that enhance satisfaction in major and clinical performance ability within the evolving clinical environment. Additionally, a multidisciplinary approach integrating new technologies should be adopted to supplement clinical internships.

This study is aimed to investigates how clan culture within the EHS domain influences organizational commitment and to examine the mediating role of human resources competitiveness moderated by on-the-job training (OJT). The analysis utilizes ‘employee data’ from the 7th wave of Human Capital Corporate Dataset II and employs a moderated mediation analysis using PROCESS Macro Model 7. The results reveal that both clan culture and OJT participation in the EHS field have a direct positive effect on HR competitiveness, which in turn significantly enhances employees’ organizational commitment. Although clan culture did not directly affect organizational commitment, its influence was mediated through HR competitiveness. Additionally, OJT participation moderated the relationship between clan culture and HR competitiveness, and further exhibited a moderated mediation effect on the relationship between clan culture and organizational commitment through HR competitiveness. The study concludes by discussing its theoretical and practical implications and suggesting directions for future research.

This study empirically examined the effectiveness of preventive education on online deviant behavior among adolescents. Unlike previous research focusing on changes in awareness and attitudes, this study analyzed actual behavioral changes. Survey data from 3,798 elementary, middle, and high school students nationwide were analyzed using Poisson regression. Inverse probability weighting was used to control for group differences, and standardized weights ensured representativeness. The results showed that participation in preventive education did not significantly reduce online deviant behavior. However, students who found the education “helpful” showed a significant decrease. This suggests that the quality and understanding of the education, rather than participation alone, are more closely linked to behavior change. Higher life satisfaction and being a female student were associated with lower rates of online deviant behavior, while students without parental support showed higher rates, highlighting the importance of individual and environmental factors.

This study examined how gender and empathic sensitivity influence users’ uncanny valley responses toward virtual humans. A total of 50 participants evaluated two types of virtual human stimuli differing in visual realism. The results showed that high-realism avatars elicited stronger uncanny responses, particularly among female participants. Empathic sensitivity was a significant positive predictor of uncanny response intensity, whereas anthropomorphism tendency appeared to mitigate such reactions. A significant interaction effect between gender and realism level was also observed, suggesting that user characteristics can moderate perceptual responses to virtual humans. These findings extend the theoretical framework of the uncanny valley by highlighting the critical role of individual psychological traits—such as gender and emotional sensitivity—in shaping uncanny experiences. The study offers both theoretical and practical implications for designing emotionally adaptive virtual humans tailored to diverse user groups.

This study aims to identify the factors that influence recreation forest use among older adults. To achieve this, data from the 2023 Social Survey conducted by Statistics Korea was utilized, focusing on 9,526 individuals aged 65 and older. The study examined the current status of recreation forest use and employed logistic regression analysis to determine the influencing factors. The variables influencing recreation forest use were categorized into three groups: sociodemographic factors, health-related factors, and social resource factors. Sociodemographic factors included age, gender, education level, region, and income. Health-related factors consisted of walking ability and cognitive function. Social resource factors encompassed marital status, social networks, and participation in social activities. The analysis revealed that among sociodemographic factors, age, education level, region, and income had significant effects on recreation forest use among the elderly. Regarding health-related factors, walking ability was found to be a significant predictor, while cognitive function was not significantly associated with recreation forest usage. In terms of social resource factors, marital status, social networks, and participation in social activities all showed significant influence on the likelihood of using recreation forest. Based on these findings, the study suggests that various strategies should be developed to promote greater use of recreation forest among the elderly population.

This descriptive survey investigated the mediating roles of professional consciousness and self-esteem in the relationship between disability perception and attitudes toward persons with disabilities among personal assistants. A total of 142 personal assistants employed at a disability support center in J City participated, and 124 valid responses were included in the final analysis. Data analyses were conducted using SPSS/WIN 25.0, including descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Mediation analysis was performed with Hayes’ PROCESS Macro v3.5 (Model 4), employing 5,000 bootstrap resamples and 95% confidence intervals. The findings indicated that disability perception was significantly correlated with attitudes, professional consciousness, and self-esteem, and that both professional consciousness and self-esteem were significantly associated with attitudes. Disability perception had significant effects on professional consciousness and self-esteem, both of which exerted direct effects on attitudes. Furthermore, self-esteem showed a significant indirect effect in the relationship between disability perception and attitudes (β= 0.12, 95% CI [0.05, 0.21]). This study suggests the necessity of interventions to enhance disability perception and self-esteem among personal assistants, which may improve their professional well-being, job satisfaction, and positive interactions with persons with disabilities, ultimately contributing to the quality of support services.

This study is a descriptive research study to find out the factors that affect the clinical competence ability of nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals. As a result of verifying the difference between general characteristics and clinical competence ability, there were significant differences in age, education level, marital status, religion, position, salary, current department work experience, and total clinical experience. As a result of analyzing the correlation between positive psychological capital, communication ability, and clinical competence ability of the subject, positive psychological capital showed a statistically significant positive correlation with communication ability and clinical competence ability, and communication ability showed a statistically significant positive correlation with clinical competence ability. In other words, it was found that the higher the positive psychological capital and communication ability, the greater the Clinical competence ability. As a result of conducting hierarchical multiple regression analysis to identify the factors affecting the clinical competence ability of small and medium-sized hospital nurses, it was found that positive psychological capital and communication ability were significantly higher in clinical competence ability. In other words, the higher the positive psychological capital and communication ability, the greater the clinical competence ability, the greater the communication ability, and the 57.3% explanatory power.

The convergence of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies—such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cloud computing, blockchain, and 5G—has created an urgent demand for efficient data delivery mechanisms capable of serving massive numbers of clients simultaneously. Wireless data broadcasting has emerged as a promising solution for such environments, particularly in IoT applications. In this paper, we propose a block-based linear index (BLI) to enable efficient nearest neighbor (NN) search in wireless broadcast channels. The proposed method partitions spatial data into irregularly shaped blocks using clustering, and stores block distribution information in a linear table structure. This approach reduces the NN search space, resulting in lower access time and tuning time compared to conventional indexing techniques such as HCI, DSI, and NSPI. Simulation results demonstrate that BLI achieves faster NN retrieval and improved energy efficiency, making it suitable for large-scale, real-time data access in modern wireless computing environments.

Innovations in AI and digital technologies are increasingly being actively utilized in child education and mental health care. In particular, the Metaverse environment offers a high level of realism and interactivity, thereby encouraging children's participation and enhancing immersion. This study utilized MetaForest, a virtual reality-based psychological counseling platform, to implement a six-week mindfulness program for seven elementary school students at a local children's center. After obtaining voluntary consent from the center, parents, and children, participant observation and post-test interviews were used to analyze the impact on children's participation. Results showed that the Metaverse environment significantly improved children's immersion and voluntary participation compared to traditionals. Furthermore, in terms of changes in self-expression and self-awareness, children effectively expressed their emotions nonverbally and intuitively through writing emotional bromides and taking anxiety/depression scales. This study provides empirical evidence for the development of technology-integrated mindfulness and career education tools, and digital-based child mental health care services.
