Oahu Island is the third largest island of the Hawaiian chain which located in the northern hemisphere close to the center of the Pacific Ocean and is affected by storms and tsunamis in the northern and southern hemispheres. High-wave and high-energy waves are concentrated in the winter and summer, and the Oahu Coast is always in an active erosion environment. These natural effects are likely to become more severe with global warming and sea level rise. In addition, as the anthropogenic factors, there was indiscreet flood of development on the coast until the 1972 coastal management law was enacted. However, the present coastal erosion phenomenon was not serious than thought. The cause can be found in the improvement of the coastal management of the provincial government. The Hawaiian government is no longer applying this method, which was built prior to the enactment of the Coastal Control Act, due to increased erosion and side effects at other sites. So, in Hawaii, it is mainly applied to soft revetment methods such as supplying sand or making artificial sand dunes as an erosion prevention method. In Korea, there are some places where the soft revetment method is applied partially, but it is mainly composed of hard revetment structure.

This study purports to identify the factors that contribute to the classification of age groups or generations of Koreans. Independent variables such as respondents' attitudes toward welfare, attitudes toward equity, education level, perception of inequality in Korean society, tax awareness, and health status are included in the model that were put into the analysis with the main interest. Since this study does not construct any hypothesis prior to analysis, the nature of this study can be said exploratory. The data utilized for the analysis are from the 17th year of the Korean Welfare Panel collected in 2022, and a linear discrimination analysis technique will be used. First and foremost, a theoretical review of the generational classification will be conducted through domestic and international literature in the past. To date, there is no quantitative studies in Korea that have a significant influence on the generational classification. Therefore, in this study, a theoretical review of political tendencies and values, which are estimated to have a significant influence on the generational classification, that is, the difference between generations, will be significant. The perception and attitude toward welfare will be discussed in the review of values. Next, analysis models, analysis techniques, and variables to be used in the analysis will be introduced. After

In this study, the authors developed and implemented an online music-based support program to prevent burnout among university hospital nurses. This study involved 40 nurses from three university hospitals who shared their subjective experiences after participating in 8 music-based non-simultaneous online sessions. The responses were collected as qualitative data and analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method. The analysis identified 66 meaning units, 10 themes, and 3 categories, which included: 'Recovery of physical and psychological stability', 'Self-care and acceptance', and 'Rediscovery of pride and meaning as a nurse'. This study is significant for exploring the experiences of university hospital nurses who participated in a remotely implemented music-based psycho-emotional support program, with respect to burnout prevention. For future directions, we suggest a more in-depth exploration of specific burnout factors and an expansion of research through the diversification of research methods to refine programs aimed at alleviating nurse burnout.

Objective : This case study aimed to explore dysphagia symptoms in post-cardiac transplantation patients and evaluate the effectiveness of dysphagia rehabilitation therapy in an occupational therapy clinic. Methods : A patient with post-cardiac transplant dysphagia underwent videofluoroscopic swallowing studies to assess the Functional Dysphagia Scale (FDS), Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), and Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS). Assessments were performed three times at two-week intervals. The treatment, administered from July 19 to August 21, 2023, included eight sessions of 30 minutes each. Treatments included corrective techniques (tongue-hold maneuver, chin tuck against resistance, mendelsohn maneuver, effortful swallowing, and respiratory muscle exercise) and compensatory strategies (chin-tuck position, multiple swallowing, modification of volume, and viscosity), alongside caregiver education. Results : The FDS scores decreased from 50 to 30, PAS scores improved from 5 to 3, and DOSS scores improved from Stage 2 to Stage 4. Conclusion : Dysphagia rehabilitation therapy improved swallowing function in a post-cardiac transplantation patient. However, further studies are required to confirm these findings.

The purpose of this study was to develop a program to prevent recurrence, focusing on cognitive and behavioral factors to reduce gambling game behavior in children, and to verify the effectiveness to analyze basic data necessary for prevention education. Eight children in the 4th to 6th grades of male students were selected, an experiment and control group were formed, and the effectiveness was verified only after 3 months after the experimental group was conducted once a week. First, irrational gambling beliefs, the level of gambling problems, automatic thinking for children, and the level of gambling problems were reduced through cognitive behavior therapy programs to reduce gambling game behavior in children. Changes in maladaptive thinking that directly affect gambling game behavior instilled awareness of gambling game behavior. Second, self-control and impulsiveness, the behavioral variables, did not show any significant difference, but decreased in the overall average. Changes in cognitive variables influenced behavioral variables. Third, it was found to continue even 3 months after the end of the program. Changes in cognitive and behavioral variables later reduced children's gambling game behavior and helped school life and peer relationships through adaptive thinking.

This study analyzed the impact on entrepreneurship, passion, and start-up execution willingness to start a business for 200 prospective start-ups in Jeollanam-do. As a result of this study, it was found that there was an effect at the statistically significant level (p<.05) in the relationship between the start-up support program and start-up willingness. In the mediating effect analysis of passion for entrepreneurship support programs, it was confirmed that passion played a complete mediating role in the relationship between mentoring and start-up willingness and a partial mediating role in the relationship between the start-up support fund and start-up willingness. In the analysis of the mediating effect of passion on entrepreneurship, it was confirmed that passion played a partial mediating role in the relationship between initiative and start-up execution willingness, and also in the relationship between risk sensitivity and start-up execution willingness. This shows that when proper initiative and risk tolerance are recognized, passion enhances the start-up willingness to run into the start-up market. Based on these results, we suggested theoretical implications and policy support directions to increase the willingness of prospective founders to implement.

This study collected specimens dark sleeper (Odontobutis platycephala) in the Jaho stream from March to November 2022 to investigated their feeding habits. The sizes were classified by age (1 year and 2 years old, and 3 years old or older). The food organisms of O. platycephala included Haplotaxida belonging to the Clitellata of Annelida, Isopoda, Amphipoda, and Decapoda of the Malacostraca, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Trichoptera belonging to the aquatic insect of Arthropoda, fish. Korean dark sleepers fed mostly on aquatic insects, crustaceans, and fish. Aquatic insects were the most important food source, with 82.32% of the population, 46.33% in biomass, and 80.84% in the index of relative importance. Among the fish fed, Coreoperca herzi and Zacco koreanus young fish were abundant, and Odontobutis platycephala young fish were also eaten due to cannibalism. Korean dark sleepers were carnivorous in diet and belonged to the stalker in food intake characteristics and forms. A food migration was observed since less Diptera was found, and more fish were found in the biomass of the feed consumed by larger pecies. Fish (40.79%), Ephemeroptera (29.17%), and Isopoda (13.63%) were mainly fed in the spring, fish (52.65%), Ephemeroptera (23.17%), and Amphipoda (6.12%) were abundant in the summer, and Ephemeroptera (36.83%), fish (23.99%), and Trichoptera (23.49%) were mainly fed in the autumn.

Recently, the beauty industry has become very competitive, so providing high-quality personal service has been raised as an important factor in maintaining a competitive edge and attracting customers. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of personal service quality of beauty workers on customer empathy and intention to revisit beauty shops. To this end, a total of 238 questionnaires were collected and frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed using the statistical package SPSS 27.0. The results of the study were as follows: First, among the components of personal service quality of beauty workers, sincerity and professionalism had a significant effect on emotional empathy, but reliability did not have a significant effect. Second, reliability, sincerity, and professionalism all had a significant effect on cognitive empathy. Third, emotional empathy and cognitive empathy had a significant effect on intention to revisit. Accordingly, in order to increase intention to revisit beauty shops, it seems necessary to provide education on words and actions that can give trust to beauty workers, genuine service, and professional skills. In the future, it is thought that research on customer empathy and revisit intentions should be conducted through the human service quality of beauty professionals and other variables differentiated from this study.
