Background: This study analyzed the differences in practice satisfaction, major, and willingness to work abroad among dental hygiene department students at K University in Gangwon-do based on their participation in international practicums. Methods: A survey was conducted on a total of 215 students through convenience sampling of dental hygiene students, and the final 214 responses were analyzed. General characteristics were examined. Major satisfaction and grades were measured on a 5-point Likert scale. And satisfaction with practice, intention to participate in international practicums, and employment were investigated by papers. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on general characteristics using SPSS software (version 26.0). Due to the convenience sample, nonparametric analysis was used to determine satisfaction with practice and major according to general characteristics using the Mann-whitney U and Kruskal-wallis test. An independent samples t-test was conducted to determine the difference between practice satisfaction and major satisfaction depending on participation in international practicums, and Fisher's exact test was conducted to determine practice satisfaction, willingness to participate in overseas internships, and employment. Results: Concerning future participation in international clinical practicums, 66.7% of students who had previously participated in overseas training expressed willingness to engage again. 40.9% of those who had not participated showed no intention of participating, and there was a significant difference (p<0.05). Additionally, 76.2% of the participants expressed interest in overseas employment, with this difference also being statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was confirmed that students' satisfaction with practice and major increased through participation in international practicums, and that they had a positive intention to work abroad and participate in overseas internship programs in the future.

Many companies are trying to enter into overseas markets to overcome the limited size of domestic markets. However, there are many barriers to enter the overseas markets such as difficulty to find buyers and make contract with them, payment risks, unfriendly foreign policies, and etc. Companies have used to various strategies to get opportunities of overseas markets. One of them is UN public procurement. Despite many advantages, limited number of companies are participating in the procurement. Individual governments are providing policies to support local companies to participate in the UN public procurement. However it is not easy to encourage firms, especially SMEs to participate in the procurement. This study is designed to analyze firm and product determinants of participating in UN public procurement. Based on literature reviews and empirical findings, this study shows social responsibility and global orientation can play an important role regarding the participation. In addition, the positive relationship between UN public procurement participation and sustainability in a given firm could be empirically supported. Last, we suggest combining country- and industry-level data to investigate UN public procurement participation as an interesting topic for future research. This study represents various determinants to encourage UN public procurement participation. They may contribute to enhance firm performance such as sustainability.

Because ships have limited support from land, it is necessary to equip them with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in preparation for the incidences of cardiac arrest patients and to properly place and manage AEDs. The seafarer must have the ability to use the AEDs. This is a study to identify the placement and management of AEDs in order to increase the utilization of AEDs in ships, analyze the ability of seafarers to use AEDs and their intention to use it, and suggest improvement plans. The study was conducted from September 9, 2019, to February 20, 2020, and a total of 244 ships and 244 seafarers were surveyed. The data were analyzed by the frequency, percentage, and chi-square test using SPSS WIN 23.0 program. As a result, most of the ships with one AED number were identified, and some ships with insufficient AED placement and management were also identified. A total of 142 seafarers (58.2 %) had experience in participating in AED education; 136 seafarers (55.7 %) had intention to use AEDs; and the most barrier factor was "I don't know how to use" (63.0 %). The intention to use AEDs was high among seafarers in the position of the captain, navigator, and deck department personnel, and when they had an experience in AED training and the training period was less than six months, they were active in using AEDs. In addition, efforts to raise an awareness and education of AEDs are required for occupational groups other than navigators who are not willing to use AEDs in ships, and it is necessary to review appropriate retraining cycles through an evaluation of the seafarer's ability to use AEDs.

Minimalism is an increasingly popular lifestyle in which people deliberately seek to live with fewer possessions. However, little scientific research has been done to examine the relationships between minimalism, social value, and happiness. Two recent studies have investigated whether critical components of minimalism, such as subtraction and decluttering could lead to changes in social values and happiness. In Study 1, the participants were presented with pictures of unstable Lego structures for which they were asked to create ideas to resolve problems, either through adding new supports or removing the existing ones. Participants with a stronger tendency to use subtractive transformations reported higher happiness scores. In addition, higher scores in intrinsic value preferences were correlated with higher levels of happiness. In Study 2, cuing minimalism or consumerism using pictures led to changes in materialistic values, motivation for social engagement, and reported happiness scores. These results imply that minimalism as an alternative lifestyle can contribute to social wellbeing and increased happiness. Limitations and implications for future studies are discussed.

This research focuses on analyzing the correlation between adolescent self-esteem and labor participation. The findings of this study are as follows: First, when it was analyzed whether there are differences in self-esteem with ages, out of school students were the lowest. and self-esteem level increased with age. Second, when the differences in self-esteem levels between genders were examined, male students showed slighty higher positive self-esteem and total self-esteem, which shows statistically significant difference. Third, the correlation between self-esteem and labor participation is as follows: 50.4% of students experienced part-time jobs in low self-esteem group. And 50.6% of students experienced part-time jobs in high self-esteem group. It shows that self-esteem level doesn't have relation to part-time job experience. Fourth, when the correlation between part-time job intention and self-esteem was analyzed, 50.5% of students in low self-esteem group responded they would have part-time job, but 49.5% of students in high self-esteem group. Also, 50.9% of low self-esteem group students responded they had no intention of getting part-time jobs, but 49.1% in high self-esteem group. It shows self-esteem level doesn't influence the decision to get part-time jobs. Last, the correlation between the reason they get part-time jobs and self-esteem level was analyzed. 68.1% of students in low self-esteem group had part-time jobs voluntarily, while 31.9% had to have jobs involuntarily for economic cause. Also 75.2% of students in high self-esteem group had part-time jobs for voluntary motive and 24.8% for economic cause. So high self-esteem group showed more voluntary cause and low involuntary cause for part-time jobs, but there was no statistically significant value.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the establishment of welfare facilities for baby boomers and the development of services and programs by studying the effects of baby boomers' preparation for old age on the intention to use welfare facilities for the elderly. The subjects of this study were 385 baby boomers (1955-1963) living in J city, Chungbuk. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors influencing the intention to enter welfare facilities. The results of this study showed that baby boomers' preparation for old age did not have a significant effect on the intention to use the elderly welfare center, and only the economic preparation had a significant effect on the intention to use the senior club, and the emotional preparation had a significant effect on the intention to use the 50+ center and the baby boomer welfare center. Based on the results of this study, policy suggestions are as follows: First, senior clubs need to expand services for employment and start-up that can help prepare for economic retirement. Second, various job policies using baby boomers' skills and knowledge are needed. Third, the 50+ center and the baby boomer welfare center need to develop professional counseling and education programs for prevention and treatment of emotional and psychological problems. Fourth, it is necessary to provide and develop programs to promote interpersonal relations and social activities for emotional stability and support.
