This study aimed to provide a desirable way to design culinary education programs at university by investigating the relationship between student satisfaction with education and job preference based on their high schools. The results of this study showed that a high percentage of students decided to choose culinary arts as their major by themselves. Most students found a career in the culinary field demanding, nevertheless, they appeared to have a strong desire to take up the challenge. Students from culinary high schools showed low satisfaction with their practical cooking courses, while students from vocational high schools seemed to be highly satisfied with those same courses. On the other hand, students from academic high schools showed a high satisfaction with their theory courses, which factored into their decision to choose culinary arts as their major. However, there appeared to be no significant difference in job preference according to the students. Most students, regardless of satisfaction with their education, considered working abroad. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that a culinary training program in universities should be divided tin three groups; academic, vocational & culinary. Each group to have classes in theory, practical and English designed with respect to their prior high school training. In addition, an opportunity for overseas employment should be offered to all three categories.

Purpose: The unique nature of life-and-death healthcare services sets them apart from other service industries. While many studies exist on the relationship between healthcare services and customer satisfaction, most of them focus on mildly ill patients, ignoring the differences between critically ill and non-seriously ill patients. This study discusses the actual quality of healthcare services for patients who are facing life-threatening illnesses and are on life support, as well as their right to protection and dignity. Methods: The survey conducted to 149 patients with the four major illnesses: cancer, heart disease, brain disease and rare and incurable disease, those who have experiences with senior general hospitals. Results: The basic statistics of this study are adequate to represent the four major critical illnesses, and the reliability and validity of this study's hypotheses, which were measured by multiple items, were analyzed, and the internal consistency was judged to be high. In addition, it was found that the convergent validity was good and the discriminant validity was also secured. When examining the goodness of fit of the hypotheses, the SRMR, which is the standardized root mean square of residuals that measures the difference between the covariance matrix of the data variables and the theoretical covariance matrix structure of the model, met the optimal criteria. Conclusion: The academic implications of this study are differentiated from other studies by moving away from evaluating the quality of healthcare services for mildly ill patients and focusing on the rights and dignity of patients with life-threatening illnesses in four senior general hospitals. In terms of academic implications, this study enriches the depth of related studies by demonstrating the right to protection and dignity as a factor of patient-centeredness based on physical environment quality, interaction quality, and outcome quality, which are presented as sub-factors of healthcare quality. We found that the three quality factors classified by Brady and Cronin (2001) are optimized for healthcare quality assessment and management, and that the results of patients' interaction quality assessment can be used to provide a comprehensive quality rating for hospitals. Health and human rights are inextricably linked, so assessing the degree to which rights and dignity are protected can be a superior and more comprehensive measurement tool than traditional health level measures for healthcare organizations. Practical implications: Improving the quality of the physical environment and the quality of outcomes is an important challenge for hospital managers who attract patients with life and death conditions, but given the scale and economics of time, money, and human inputs, improving the quality of interactions and defining them as performance indicators in hospital quality management is an efficient way to create maximum value in the short term.

Accurate software effort estimation has always been a challenge for the software industrial and academic software engineering communities. Many studies have focused on effort estimation methods to improve the estimation accuracy of software effort. Although data quality is one of important factors for accurate effort estimation, most of the work has not considered it. In this paper, we investigate the influence of outlier elimination on the accuracy of software effort estimation through empirical studies applying two outlier elimination methods(Least trimmed square regression and K-means clustering) and three effort estimation methods(Least squares regression, Neural network and Bayesian network) associatively. The empirical studies are performed using two industry data sets(the ISBSG Release 9 and the Bank data set which consists of the project data collected from a bank in Korea) with or without outlier elimination.

Ousters have become a key focus of interest and analysis over the last decade or so, informed by the work of the Harvard business economist Michael Porter. Recent research, however, suggests that the classic Porterian conception of clusters needs to be rethought. In particular, the idea that clusters are geogaphically bounded and integrated units whose primary link to the outside world is through the export of goods and services to global markets is highly Questionable, if not untenable. Relational approaches to clusters and regional development stress the importance of the wider networks and 'pipelines' through which knowledge is exchanged with key partners and collaborators located outside of the particular cluster in question. Rather than the main external links being those between leading firms and global markets, firms may engage in a range of global relations with collaborators and suppliers. This paper address the challenge of rethinking clusters in the light of the recent emphasis on global networks md connections, drawing on experience from m old industrial region in Western Europe Scotland. In assessing cluster experiences and initiatives in Scotland, I examine the development of the oil and gas and electronics clusters. In conclusion, I suggest that cluster initiatives me only likely to generate lasting benefits for the region in question if there is significant local ownership md control of key industries and clusters.

This study examined the relationship between the level of hardiness and self-care agency of persons with a colostomy. The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of hardiness on self-care agency of persons with a colostomy and to identity factors influencing on. The ultimate goal was to help nurses improve the person's self-care agency and to contribute theoretical base for the planning of supportive nursing interventions to increase the level of self care. The subjects for the study consisted of 43 persons aged above eighteen below seventy had had Miles operation and permanent colostomy. The data were collected from July, 1998 to September 15, 1998. The instruments used for this study were the Health-Related Hardiness (Pollock, 1984) and the Self-carer As Inventory Scale(Genden & Taylor, 1988). The Self-Carer As Inventory translated by So Hyang-sook and was modified by author of this study. The data were analysed by using SAS computerlized program and included number, percentage, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results of the study are summarized as follows. 1. Hardiness was significantly related to Self-care agency(r=-0.531. p=0.0002). That is, the higher the hardiness, the higher the level of Self-care agency. 2. In the relationship between general characteristics and traits of persons with a colostomy and hardiness were significant difference in monthly income (F=2.79, p=0.03), problem in stoma management (F=3.29, p=0.01). 3. In the relationship between general characteristics and traits of persons with a colostomy and Self-care agency were significant difference in monthly income (F=2.93, p=0.03), problem in stoma management(F=2.93, p=0.01). Therefore, in order to increase the level of Self-care agency of ostomate Nurses should be helpful to provide them with hardiness training to strengthen their control, commitment and challenge(subconcepts of hardiness).

Recently, fake news has attracted worldwide attentions regardless of the fields. The Hyundai Research Institute estimated that the amount of fake news damage reached about 30.9 trillion won per year. The government is making efforts to develop artificial intelligence source technology to detect fake news such as holding "artificial intelligence R&D challenge" competition on the title of "searching for fake news." Fact checking services are also being provided in various private sector fields. Nevertheless, in academic fields, there are also many attempts have been conducted in detecting the fake news. Typically, there are different attempts in detecting fake news such as expert-based, collective intelligence-based, artificial intelligence-based, and semantic-based. However, the more accurate the fake news manipulation is, the more difficult it is to identify the authenticity of the news by analyzing the news itself. Furthermore, the accuracy of most fake news detection models tends to be overestimated. Therefore, in this study, we first propose a method to secure the fairness of false news detection model accuracy. Secondly, we propose a method to identify the authenticity of the news using the social data broadly generated by the reaction to the news as well as the contents of the news.

The economic growth has made our lives more prosperous than the past, and the development of science fueled the era of 100-year lifespan. It is now distinct to us that preparation for life after retirement is not a choice but an imperative. In the meantime, outplacement programs have driven many to challenge and start a new chapter in life. This paper measures the characteristics of outplacement programs based on the self-determination factors; empirically examines how those characteristics influence on learning performance through self-efficacy and psychological well-being; concludes by proposing effective and productive ways for young adults and senior employees who are in search for new jobs. To test the research hypothesis, a survey was conducted among job searchers who have been previously provided with outplacement programs. The results are as follows: First, self-perceived autonomy has significant influences on self-efficacy and psychological well-being. Second, self-perceived competency has significant influences on self-efficacy and psychological well-being. Third, perceived relationship has no significant influence on self-efficacy and psychological well-being. Fourth, self-efficacy showed significant influences on psychological well-being, while not showing on learning performance. Fifth, psychological well-being has no significant influence on learning performance. This paper finds its academic significance in its theory-based approach to outplacement service program; research variables and examination are not based on researcher's arbitrary choice. This paper is also practically significant in that it discovered that outplacement service alleviates psychological stress caused by job relocation, and guarantees stable life after retirement.
