The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-perceived benefits from singing and the quality of life of older adults aged 75 years and older. A total of 231 older adults participated in this study with 141 of them living alone and 90 of them living with others. Each participant was instructed to complete the investigator-constructed questionnaire and the Quality of Life scale. The questionnaire consisted of 49 items on demographic information, involvement in leisure activities and singing-related experiences, and perceived benefits from singing. The results showed that the amount of involvement in leisure activities and the measured quality of life were found to differ between the two subgroups of older adults living with and without others. The number of older adults who had singing-related experiences was also differed between the groups. A positive correlation was found between the amount of self-perceived benefit from singing and quality of life. These results indicate that self-perceived benefits from singing could be an important factor for the quality of life of older adults. This study supports the potential benefits of incorporating singing as an active leisure activity into interventions for older adults, expanding the research that has been extensively based on listening-based interventions. Also, it presents clinical implications for how singing interventions and programs could be designed and suggested to support this population to better cope with their life issues and enhance the quality of life.

Research in which an individual's entrepreneurial spirit contributes to the country's economic development through revitalization of entrepreneurship is being actively conducted, but studies related to individual satisfaction or life satisfaction are still insufficient. This study aims to clarify the influence of young adults' entrepreneurial spirit on their life satisfaction and at the same time verify the mediating effect of self-efficacy and self-determination. In addition, an empirical analysis was conducted on 511 young people to reveal the effectiveness of participation in government start-up support projects. The research results are as follows. First, the entrepreneurial spirit had a positive effect on the life satisfaction of young people. Second, self-determination and self-efficacy played a role in mediating the relationship between entrepreneurship and life satisfaction. Finally, participation in start-up support projects did not show a statistically significant moderating effect. This study is expected to provide a clue that life satisfaction can act as a major variable in the impact of entrepreneurship on entrepreneurship. It also implies that the performance of the government start-up support project should be considered not only about the quantitative performance such as sales and employment effect, but also the qualitative performance such as personal life satisfaction.

This study aimed to investigate the associations between subjective oral health status and OHIP-14 among Chinese residents. A survey was conducted on the Chinese residing in Busan. As a result of analyses on the collected data with SPSS 25.0 the OHIP-14 was significantly different depending on the subjective oral health status including mastication discomfort experience, toothache experience, oral temperature sensitive response experience, gingival bleeding and disease experience, dry mouth experience and halitosis experience. The major variables were all positively correlated. Among the factors of subjective oral health status affecting the oral health-related quality of life, the influences of mastication (p<0.001) and halitosis (p<0.05) were significant. There is a need for a medical support system that can provide practically oral health policies and support Korean language for foreigners.

The purpose of this study was to explore convergence on the theory of unpleasant symptom, and factors affecting quality of life of liver cirrhosis patients. A total of 198 liver cirrhosis patients were recruited symptom experiences, physiologic factors, psychological factors, situational factors, and quality of life. Data were collected from March, to May, 2014 and analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlations, multiple regressions analysis with PASW (SPSS) 21.0. Variables such as duration of liver cirrhosis(${\beta}=.19$, p<.001), symptom experiences(${\beta}=.19$, p=.032), physical(${\beta}=.15$, p=.008), psychological(${\beta}=.39$, p<.001) and situational factors(${\beta}=.32$, p<.001) explained 51.8% of variance in quality of life(F=15.57, p<.001). The symptom experiences, physiological, psychological and situational factors should be considered for caring liver cirrhosis patients. Symptoms of postmyocardial infarction (post-MI) patients at risk for progression to heart.

소프트웨어는 일상의 삶을 더 편리하게 해 주는 도구 이상으로 우리의 생활 깊숙이 침투하였으며, 소프트웨어로 인해 산업의 구조가 바뀌고 세상이 바뀌어 가고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어의 중요성을 인식하고 2015 개정 교육과정에서는 초등학교에서부터 소프트웨어를 이해하고 제작하는 교육이 실행될 예정이다. 하지만, 소프트웨어라는 것은 추상적인 개념으로 아동의 경험과 연결시켜 소프트웨어 교육이 이루어지기는 어려웠던 것이 사실이다. 존 듀이는 일상적인 삶의 경험 영역 내에 들어 있던 것들로부터 교육을 도출해 낼 수 있다고 하였고, 이는 아동의 입장을 신중히 고려한 방식이다. 따라서, 소프트웨어 교육 또한 아동의 일상경험에서 출발한다면 보다 효과적인 교육이 이루어 질 수 있으리라고 본다. 이에 본 연구에서는 존 듀이의 철학적 관점에서 소프트웨어 교육에 시사하는 바를 대해 논의해 보고자 한다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between the self-reported symptoms of periodontal diseases and the quality of life. This study conducted its questionnaire survey over the subjects of 450 adults who had ever visited dental clinics among the adults of age 35-65 living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do region from January 7 to March 14, 2010. The data were analyzed using a chi-square test, t-test, binominal logistic regression analysis in the SPSS version 12.0 program. Among the self-reported symptoms of periodontal diseases, 65% of respondents perceived that 'I bleed from the gums in brushing my teeth', which was the most, whereas 18.8% of respondents perceived to 'tooth mobility', which was the least. Self-reported symptoms of periodontal diseases was associated with socio-demographic characteristics such as sex, age, level of education and periodic oral examination, dental scaling(p<0.05). People who perceived the symptoms of periodontal diseases experienced functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, disability in diverse domains, and social handicap more than the group who did not perceive them(p<0.001). OHIP-14 scores were significantly correlated with sex, bleeding gums, swollen gums and bad breath(p<0.05). This study showed the self-reported periodontal problem had a negative impact on the public's leading their happy life. Therefore, in order to enhance the quality of life in adults, it is necessary to prevent periodontal diseases and reduce the subjective symptoms.
