We meet many difficult challenges from many factors such as crime, natural disasters, social unrest, financial problems, employment, and so on. It therefore essential to cope with these negative stressful events to attain a state of personal well-being. Lately in the field of psychology and psychiatry, a concept called 'resilience' has received increasing attention. Resilience embodies the personal qualities that enable one to thrive in the face of adversity. Also it refers to the process of overcoming the negative effect of risk exposure, coping successfully with adversity, and avoiding the negative trajectories associated with risks. Resilience people were expected to do their innovative work behavior well. And SUS(supervisor support), COS(coworker support), OEMC(organizational error management culture) influence the relationship of resilience between Innovative Behavior. This study focused on three question. First, how is resilience relate to individual performance in the organization? And second, are there any moderate factors between resilience and individual performance. As the result of the hierarchical regression analysis, resilience indicates positive effects on IB and IB was predicted by interaction of resilience by SUS and OEMC. Findings in this study indicated that the level of SUS and OEMC should be considered in interpreting the resilience and Innovative Behavior.

This longitudinal study examined the influence of substandard housing conditions and housing affordability on physical and mental health. Using data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study, this study followed 8,583 adults who continued to participate in the survey from 2009 to 2013. Multivariate analyses involved linear and logistic regression models with the hybrid method that incorporates both fixed and random effects. Results show that substandard housing conditions and excess housing cost burden had significant adverse effects on adults' mental health (e.g., depressive symptoms). About one fourth of the entire sample and one third of those in poverty reported having lived in substandard housing conditions. Additionally, nearly one fourth of those in poverty reported having experienced excess housing cost burden, which is 4 times greater than that of the entire sample. Our findings show that a substantial proportion of individuals, particularly among the poor, have a difficulty in accessing to decent, affordable housing, and that housing assistance may have additional benefits of improving the mental health of individuals with housing issues.

The SF-36 is the most common instrument to check the quality of life for dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. However, there were too much burden for them to answer 36 items of it. So we purposed to develop the RFQoL-K reduced type of the SF-36. Participants who had newly registered for dialysis were enrolled in 29 medical centers during 45months from 2009. We developed the RFQoL-K through 355 people who applied the SF-36 at 3 and 12 months after registration and then checked it's internal validity. External validity about it was checked via 411 people who answered only one time survey after registration. In conclusion, the RFQoL-K had total 14 items which was consisted of 8 items on physical factors and 6 items on mental factors from the SF-36. The RFQoL-K summary scores explained 91-93% of the SF-36 summary scores. The RFQoL-K was well reflected SF-36 because the correlation and the internal consistency between two tools were very high 0.96 to 0.98 and 0.96 to 0.98 respectively.

This study aimed to determine whether there was a difference in lung functions of smokers according to the presence of carcinogenic genetic-metabolizing enzymes by comparing the results of lung functions and the presence of genetic metabolizing enzymes that metabolize tobacco substances. To achieve this, 31 smokers without no illness and no psychiatric history were selected (28 males and 3 females); they were aged 20 to 27 years and were physically and mentally healthy students attending K University. Their lung functions were measured, and gene polymorphisms of cytochrome P-450 1A1 (CYP1A1) related to metabolic activation of tobacco components and gene polymorphism of tumor protein 53 (TP53) related to lung cancer were analyzed. As a result, the mean values of lung function of TT and Arg / Arg without genetic mutations were the highest, and ANOVA analysis of CYP1A1 and lung functions showed that the P-value of FVC was 0.049, which was different between groups. In other words, there is no high mutation in Cytochrome P-450 1A1 (CYP1A1) gene, which is associated with the metabolic activation of tobacco components. In other words, In the absence of the mutant Cytochrome P-450 1A1 (CYP1A1) gene, which is associated with the metabolic activation of tobacco components, the value of FVC was high.

UI design is growing in meaning and form itself through the development of hardware and contents. And it makes users accept its interface as a extension of the body and mind because of the substantial rapport of the user and contents with developing of device and graphic. In this study, we analyzed user interface in a view of digital storytelling by observing of its role within user and contents. Not only this, classifying and investigating story elements in the games for forming the theoretical basis of storytelling UI are enforced. For the case study of UI, we choose the game, Diablo, Half-Life, and Homeworld because the game is suitable for the application of node-type storytelling and effectively uses graphic and input unit. This analysis explains the interface has the contents data that divided or shared and it means the interface performs its part of story nodes, which are extracted from the story, and choice. And we analogized that the story elemental can be substituted and used practically for interface because the stories made through the thing that users and developers are in the space of coexistence by the interface. Storytelling UI will be a good way to make a most intriguing piece as a joyful spontaneous complex that use story node. It is worth by reason of making by user and discovering live inner story so that it can approach to the substance of the story.
