This research focused on verifying the impact of Perceived Social Support on Subjective Well-Being through Self-Esteem. In addition, the mediating role of Self-Esteem was clearly identified as a key variable that can lead to Subjective Well-Being. To verify this, an empirical analysis was conducted on Chinese students who studying in Korea universities. Through empirical analysis, it was found that Perceived social support improves self-esteem. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to increase the level of Subjective Well-Being. Thus, it was found that self-esteem played a partial mediating role in the relationship between Perceived Social Support and Subjective Well-Being. Through these results, practical implications were presented and future research directions were discussed.

This study was conducted to provide basic data for the development of oral health education programs by examining oral health knowledge and oral health behaviors, and by identifying factors affecting oral health knowledge and scaling experience of Chinese domestic students. From March to May, a self-reported questionnaire was administered to 194 in the G area. The data were analyzed frequency analysis and independent t-test, multiple regression analysis, logistic regression analysis by using SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. The overall average of oral health knowledge was 13.83 out of 24, and knowledge of periodontal disease and scaling was the highest at 3.75, and knowledge of oral hygiene products was the lowest at 1.38. Oral health knowledge was significantly higher in those who had scaling experience for the past year, brushed teeth for more than 3 minutes at a time, used oral hygiene products, and had oral health education experience. As a result of multiple regression analysis, oral health education experience was the most important factor on oral health knowledge. As a result of logistic regression analysis, oral health knowledge was the most influential factor on scaling experience. It is necessary to expand education on the importance of oral care and actively introduce oral health management program for Chinese domestic students.

To prepare a method for improving the oral health-related quality of life for Chinese foreign students by examining the oral health care behavior affecting the oral health-related quality of life, a self-administered survey was conducted with 236 Chinese foreign students at an university located in Jeonbuk during April 2 -May 5, 2013. The results showed that 65.3% had not visited the dentist within one year, 82.6% had not received scaling within one year, and 68.2% had not received oral health education. In regards to the OHIP-14 according to the general characteristics, there was a significant difference in the school year, health insurance enrollment status and overseas study life satisfaction (p<0.05). In regards to the OHIP-14 according to the oral health care behavior, there was a significant difference in the subjective oral health condition, the experience of having visited a dentist within one year and an experience of having received scaling (p<0.05). As for the influencing factors on the oral health-related quality of life, they were found to be the subjective oral health condition and the experience of having received scaling within one year (p<0.05). For the purpose of helping Chinese foreign students to conveniently use medical institutions when oral health-related problems arise, there is a need for a translated version of the guidebook in their native language, the availability of medical professional interpreters, the availability of a university level oral health service center, and practical oral health education to enhance oral health.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of motivation of the employment in Korea with gender, nationality, motivation of studying in Korea, major satisfaction and Korean proficiency level of foreign students who are studying in Korea. The second purpose is to analyze the current factors, to leverage educational management and to make and support some policy of Minister of Education for international students in order to promote utilization of employment of the students in Korea during 4 years of studying. This paper is used by IBM SPSS Statistics 24 Version for data analysis. As a result of the analysis, the average of students in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and South and North America Africa was higher than Japan and China in terms of motivation of employment in Korea. First, the external motivation to study in Korea has affected TOPIK with positive influence. Second, in the relationship between motivation to study in Korea and the majors satisfaction, the higher the internal motivation of study, the higher the majors' satisfaction level. Third, in the relationship between motivation to study in Korea and motivation of the employment in Korea, internal motivation to study has a positive effect on motivation of the employment. As internal motivation increases, grade of the motivation of the employment increases. Fourth, the relationship between major satisfaction and employment showed positive (+) effect. In other words, the higher the major satisfaction, the higher the motivation of the employment. Fifth, TOPIK has a negative effect on motivation of the employment. It means that external motivation was the main factor that positively influenced TOPIK and internal motivation was also main factors that positively influenced both major satisfaction and motivation of the employment in Korea. Sixth, when the internal motivation has an effect on motivation of Korea employment, the higher the major satisfaction as the parameter, the higher the motivation of Korea employment. Therefore, it will be helpful to understand the meaning of studying motivation and major satisfaction of international students, and to be used as basic data on education policies of universities and governments supporting the career and employment for international students.

본고는 저소득층 재미유학생을 중심으로 한국가구와 중국가구의 가계재정복지 및 관리행동의 인식을 비교.검토하였다. 표본의 크기는 한국 10가구와 중국11가구였다. 재정후생 조사결과에 의하면 한국 가구는 중국 가구에 비해 자산취득 등 소비에 있어서는 더 높은 평균소득을 가졌음에도 불구하고 소득수준에 더 많은 불만을 나타내고 잇었다. 재정관리행동 조사는 중국가구가 더 즉흥적인 혹은 예산밖의 소비를 하고 있는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 한국 가구는 재정관리 및 소비지출을 부부중심으로 행하는 반면, 중국 가구는 남편중심으로 행하고 있었으며 중국가구가 재정관리 및 소비에 대하여 더 높은 불화를 나타내고 있었다. 더불어 한국가구는 주로 부인들이 구매하는 적은 금액의 지출에, 중국 가구는 남편들이 구매하는 큰 금액의 지출에 상대적으로 더 많은 불화를 나타내었다. 한편 한국 가구의 구매불화조정은 남편에 의해, 중국 가구의 불화조정은 부인에 의해 주로 이루어 지고 있었다.

2020년 1월 국내에 신종 코로나 바이러스의 확산으로 인해 보건 마스크의 수요가 급증하고 이에 따라 마스크의 가격이 폭등하자 정부가 건강보험정보를 기반으로 보건용 마스크 판매에 관여하는 공적 마스크 5부제를 시행해 왔다. 하지만 건강보험 가입정보에 의존적인 신원 인증 시스템으로 인해 유학생 등 건강보험 미가입자의 경우 마스크의 구입이 어렵고 개인정보 접근 문제 등으로 판매채널의 확장이 어려운 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 건강보험과 같은 특정 신원정보 시스템에 의존하지 않고 중앙기관이 발행하는 신뢰할 수 있는 모든 신원정보(여권, 외국인등록증 등)에 기반하여 사용자가 스스로 자신의 신원정보 속성을 블록체인을 통해 관리하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 제안 방법에 대해 디지털신원 기법을 평가할 수 있는 지표를 기반으로 자체 평가를 수행한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the nutritional status of Chinese female college students in Korea, and to investigate changes in their dietary behavior after residing in Korea. The subjects included 114 Chinese female college students currently studying in Korea. General characteristics and dietary behaviors before and after residing in Korea were investigated. Daily nutrients and food intake were assessed using a one-day 24-hour recall. Consumption of most nutrients, namely calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin $B_2$, vitamin C, and folate was estimated to fall below the EAR for the Korean population. The proportions of subjects whose intake were estimated below the EAR for folate, calcium, vitamin $B_2$, iron, zinc, and vitamin C were 93.0%, 71.9%, 66.7%, 65.8%, 65.8%, and 63.2%, respectively. In the current study, the dietary behavior scores fell significantly after Chinese students immigrated to Korea (p < 0.001); increased frequency of meal skipping, less consumption of fruits and vegetables, irregular meal pattern, and imbalanced diet were some of the significant changes among Chinese students before and after residing in Korea. In addition, consumption of most nutrients, including dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B group, vitamin C, and folate in the Worsened Group was significantly lower, compared with the No Change Group (p < 0.05). According to the changes in dietary behaviors, consumption of most nutrients, including dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B group, vitamin C, and folate in the Worsened Group was significantly lower than in the No Change Group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, these results indicated that Chinese students practiced more unhealthy dietary behaviors after residing in Korea and Chinese students residing in Korea showed poor nutrient-based diet quality. Conduct of a follow-up study using blood profile tests is needed in order to assess the nutritional status of Chinese students. These results would be used in planning of a nutritional surveillance program for Chinese students.
