This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sandplay therapy for couples on the self-differentiation, and heterosexual relationship satisfaction, of couples who are college students'. The subjects were four couples who are college students living in Seoul with low self-differentiation and heterosexual relationship satisfaction. I carried out sandplay therapy on four couples for once a week for 10 weeks, and each session was 70 minutes long. In this study, the self-differentiation scale was modified for Korea on the basis of Bowen's family systems theory (1976), and it was used as a research tool. Yu (2000) and Lee (2000) made a scale to measure heterosexual relationship satisfaction after they adjusted the Korea Marital Satisfaction Inventory (K-MSI). The scale was also used in order to compare pre-therapy and post-therapy traits and identify any changes. In addition, the group's behavior and interactions were observed and recorded in each session throughout the process of sandplay therapy with the couples, and the behanior and interactions were analyzed along with the change flow in the sand trays. The study's outcomes are summed up as follows. First, sandplay therapy with couples advances the level of self-differentiation in college students. Second, sandplay therapy with couples improves the heterosexual relationship satisfaction on college students. Third, the trays used in sandplay therapy with couples showed positive changes as the therapy progressed. As the sessions continued, negative factors in the trays decreased and the trays converged into one. As the sessions proceeded, it was observed that the couples became closer, felt more comfortable with each other, compromised and reflected on their relationship. The study's results show that sandplay therapy with couples increased the level of self-differentiation in college students and heterosexual relationship satisfaction, thus proving the therapy's effectiveness.

Much effort has been made to reliably measure customer satisfaction in the industry. Considering different ways of measuring and indexing satisfaction, the research on customer satisfaction warrants further development. We examined the major customer satisfaction indices along with the prior research stream of satisfaction, focusing on ACSI (American Customer Satisfaction Index). We, then, presented the empirical results of customer satisfaction model, using the data collected toward some public services provided by Seoul Metropolitan Government-owned businesses, which implied the usefulness of ACSI model. Finally, we discussed the study findings and limitations.

This study utilized 2021 Social Survey data and 7,203 older persons aged over 65 years were analyzed. Multiple regression analyses were used for the analyses and significance of mediating effect was tested using bootstrapping methods. Study findings showed that change of social relations due to COVID-19 had a significant effect on life satisfaction of older people. That is, those who experienced increasing distance from neighbors and friends reported lower level of life satisfaction. Also, leisure satisfaction partially mediated the effects of change of social relations due to COVID-19 on life satisfaction. Results of this study suggest that various interventions are needed to prevent a decrease of quality of life of older people in times during which social distancing can be necessary like COVID-19 pandemic.

Regression analysis utilized SAS 9.3.s through vitalization of local communities, and information education for the disabled is also important. The analysis results are as follows. First, the higher the digital access level of the disabled, the higher the level of interpersonal satisfaction. Second, the higher the digital information capability level of the disabled, the higher the level of interpersonal satisfaction. Third, the higher the level of digital information utilization of the disabled, the higher the level of interpersonal satisfaction. As a result, the higher the digital information level of the disabled, the higher the satisfaction level in the interpersonal relationship of the disabled. In addition, it was found that careful attention and policy review are needed to resolve the digital information gap of the government for the disabled who are marginalized groups. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the expansion of universal services of the marginalized groups including the disabled.

자원 제약적인 임베디드 시스템 기반의 비디오 압축/전송 시스템에서 고수준의 영상품질과 에너지 효율성을 동시에 만족시키는 것은 쉽지 않은 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 동작 주파수 설정을 이용하여 주어진 네트워크 환경과 영상품질을 만족하면서 에너지 소비가 최소화되는 솔루션을 제안한다. 즉, 주어진 네트워크 환경에서 압축/영상품질의 상관관계를 분석하고 에너지가 최소화되도록 동작 주파수를 결정한다. JPEG을 이용한 실험 결과, 동작 주파수 설정을 이용한 방법은 기존의 방법 보다 사용자가 요구하는 영상품질을 만족하면서 약 60% 정도 에너지를 절감할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
