Objectives: This study aimed to compare depression and social support according to general characteristics and to investigate the influence of social support on depression. Methods: This study analyzed raw data from a project funded by Jeju Province. Data were collected through home visit interview with 750 households selected by using a randomized cluster sampling method. CES-D was used to measure depression, and the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey was used to measure social support. The data of 1,155 subjects were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and regression. Results: The mean was 11.35 for depression and 75.53 for social support. Women showed a higher depression score and a lower social support score than men did. Older people; the divorced or the bereaved; and those in groups comprising people with lower education, lower social class, poor health, or high stress presented higher depression and lower social support. The result of stepwise regression showed that social support was one of the predictive variables of depression, and 22% of variance was explained by social support in this study. Conclusions: Social support was a powerful predictive variable of depression, and it was suggested that to prevent and manage depression, strategies that enhance social support should be developed and evaluated.

In order to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground for the purpose of getting a trafficability of construction vehicles, the geosynthetics-sandmat system has often been used. Yamanouchi had proposed the equation of calculating the bearing capacity about this kind of bearing mechanism, which has a soft ground-geosynthetics-sandmat system. The bearing capacity equation by Yamanouchi has been widely using in our country. However this equation includes an important contradictory concept because if the contact width of vehicles is incresed to reduce the contact pressure, the bearing capacity is decresed on the contray according to this equation. In order to investigate this contradictory concept, the bearing capacity test has been performed on the soft model ground with geosynthetics-sandmat system. From the test results about various kinds of models, the principle that explain the contradictory concept has been found and on the basis of this principle the new bering capacity equation has been proposed by modifying Yamanouchi equation.

This study was carried out to investigate the post stroke depression (PSD) occurrence in acute stroke patients and to identify the factors that influence PSD. The study subjects were 104 adults in their 20s or older who were scheduled to be discharged due to inpatient treatment for ischemic stroke in two hospitals. Data were collected using Post Stroke Depression Scale for PSD, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support for social support, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale for stroke severity, and Modified Rankin Scale for disability. The average length of stay after stroke onset of the study subjects was 5.9±2.1 days, and 79.8% were within 7 days. Stroke severity score was an average of 2.4±2.5 out of 42 points, and disability score was an average of 1.6±1.1 out of 6 points. Among the subjects, 32.7% had mild or more severe depression after stroke. The subjects with no religion, severe disability, high stroke severity, and less family support had a higher likelihood of experiencing PSD. These results show that depression can appear in the early stages of stroke onset. Therefore, it is necessary to develop nursing guidelines for depression intervention after acute stroke, including continuous early assessment of depression from the acute phase of stroke and religion or family support.

Recently, the government has been spending a large amount of money to support start-ups with its major policies aimed at economic growth and job creation under the keynote of innovative growth. Nevertheless, the Global Entrepreneurship Development Institute (GEDI) gave a very low assessment of the social and cultural support areas of Korea's start-up ecosystem in the 2018 Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI), indicating that unlike the government's interest, our perception of start-ups has not been positive. This study surveyed 300 prospective entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs. In addition, this study empirically analyzes how social support of those around them is related to their entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors. As a result, it was not possible to confirm whether social support affects entrepreneurial intentions, but social support had positive influences on entrepreneurial behaviors. In addition, social support was found to have positive influences on entrepreneurial behaviors with dual mediation of entrepreneurial self-dfficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. Therefore, it was confirmed that social support is a factor that influences entrepreneurial behaviors and that entrepreneurial self-efficacy has important parametric effects. The findings of this study suggest that the government and entrepreneurship support agencies need to reflect programs in start-up support poject to promote social support for start-ups and to enhance entrepreneurial self-efficacy.

This study investigated the mediating effects of social support and coping on the relation between traumatic event type, posttraumatic growth and wisdom by the data from 247 adults by using path analysis. Besides, the difference of the level of posttraumatic growth and related variables between traumatic event type groups. At first, The results of the MANCOVA, person-related traumatic event group were higher than the non-personal traumatic event group in negative coping and trauma stress level, and lower in social support, positive coping, posttraumatic growth and wisdom. The path analysis results shows that traumatic event type was related to wisdom by mediate factors. Traumatic event type affected wisdom through social support, positive coping, posttraumatic growth. The significant mediators were social support, positive coping, posttraumatic growth. Negative coping was not a significant mediator between event type and posttraumatic growth. The results show that non-personal traumatic event group are tends to have high level of social support, positive coping, posttraumatic growth, and wisdom. In the end, we described that the implication and the limitation of this study and suggestions for following studies.

The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of entrepreneurs' well-being, and to propose several ways to improve it. First, the factors influencing entrepreneurs' well-being were explored via previous literature review, and positive psychological capital based on positive psychology was selected as the main factor. In addition, the hypotheses were formulated and the research model was constructed by selecting authentic leadership, mastery goal orientation, and social support as the antecedents predictably associated with positive psychological capital. To empirically analyze the proposed model, a questionnaire survey was conducted for the entrepreneurs who fulfilled the training/coaching/consulting programs offered by the Youth Startup Academy. By using the collected 133 responses, PLS-Structural Equation Analysis, PLS-Multi Group Analysis(MGA), and PLS-Importance-Performance Map Analysis(IPMA) were performed. As a result, it was found that positive psychological capital had a high causal relationship with the well-being of entrepreneurs; and authentic leadership and mastery goal orientation had a positive effect on positive psychological capital. However, the statistical significance of the impact of social support has not been verified. While differences in causality between early and growing stages of start-ups only acted as sub-factors of positive psychological capital, the aforementioned three antecedents showed a significant difference for hope and optimism, respectively. This study expanded the topic of entrepreneurship-related research, which mostly focuses on identifying the performance factors of start-ups. It is meaningful in that it empirically verified the causality model constructed by exploring the factors with respect to the mental well-being of entrepreneurs, which is a main theme in the entrepreneurship-related research. These results found in the current study will render practical insights to entrepreneurs, researchers, and educators.

Catalytic decomposition over HZSM-5 was carried out in semi-batch reactor to recover gasoline from waste plastics(HDPE). To enhance the liquid yield with a molecule range of gasoline, the properties of catalytic decomposition were investigated over a commercial Si/ZSM-5 catalyst and HZSM-5 catalysts modified with P and Mg. Optimum loadings of P and Mg on HZSM-5 were 0.5 wt% and 2.0 wt%, respectively, based on conversion and liquid yield. $NH_3-TPD$ profile indicated that strong and weak acid sites totally decreased in P loading on HZSM-5 catalyst, strong acid sites moderately decreased and weak acid sites sharply reduced in Mg loading on HZSM-5 catalyst. In the case of Si/ZSM-5 catalyst, all acid sites almost disappeared, subsequently, catalytic decomposition significantly decreased, and little liquid product was produced. When HZSM-5 catalyst was modified with P and Mg, the carbon distribution of liquid product was shifted to lower carbon number and its all components was within a molecular range of gasoline($C_5-C_{11}$). Especially, over Mg(2.0 wt%)/ZSM-5 catalyst, 55.8% of liquid yield with 100% of a molecular range of gasoline, was obtained at $400^{\circ}C$, suggesting it as a promising catalyst for recycle of waste plastics.
