This study examined the features of maternal involvement in Korean children's early education and their relation to contextual variables and three forms of parental cognition. For this study 333 Korean mothers with 5 to 7 year-old children completed questionnaires that covered aspects such as demographical characteristics, three forms of involvement in their children's education, and three forms of parental cognition. Descriptive analysis indicated that mothers who were more involved in monitoring homework paid more monthly activity fees for supplementary classes and engaged more in cognitively stimulating activities at home. Financial investment in supplementary classes for children was not associated with engagement in cognitively stimulating activities at home. Stepwise regression analysis found that mothers who were more involved in monitoring their young childrens homework expressed higher aspirations for their childrens future occupation. Korean mothers who paid more for their child's supplementary classes had higher family incomes. Korean mothers who engaged more often in cognitively stimulating activities at home expressed higher parental self-efficacy, had a higher educational level, had a younger child, and had an earlier birth order or only child.

The design of this study was a non equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Results: The experimental group reported significantly higher scores of the 4 stage scores of moral judgment (t=-2.19, p=.036) and ethical values (t=3.04, p=.004) than the control group. However, no significant differences were found in the P score of moral judgment between the two groups. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed the benefits of providing a CEDA debate course for nursing ethics education. Therefore, in further studies, it is necessary to develop various teaching strategies or educational programs to improve nursing ethical values and moral judgment.

The routing optimization mode, which Mobile IPv6 provides for the direct communication between a mobile node and its correspond node, introduces various security threats, thus causing several protocols to be proposed for the secure binding update procedure. In particular, the Kang-Park protocol, which Kang and Park presented in 2005, achieves the optimized cryptographic operations and the strong security, while based on its unique security proxy structure. In spite of such advantages, it has some drawbacks in terms of security and efficiency. This paper improves the Kang-Park protocol through the strong CoA validation and early binding update methods. Also, we show that the improved protocol is better than others.

The advent of the Internet and social media has given rise to a number of anti-milk articles that contain a lot of misinformation. Should milk and dairy products really not be consumed past a certain age? To answer this question, the history of milk consumption must be examined to understand the long-term benefits of milk. Historically, dairy products were among the foods served to the angels in the Old Testament of the Bible. Furthermore, dairy products were consumed even before the Bronze Age, and are defined by many food and animal scientists, and nutritionists as a complete food containing a lot of nutrients. Milk and dairy products have significantly contributed to the Korean and Japanese people's current body structures; this is evident in the fact that they are taller than their ancestors, primarily due to the increased consumption of milk and dairy products following industrialization. The average height of Koreans rose drastically in the 1960s, after milk consumption increased as a result of the dairy promotion policy. This article seeks to help understand milk by looking into the content published by a life insurance company in 1927.

Human beings and chimpanzees are very much alike. and scientists say there is only 1% difference between them. Contrary to our expectations, the difference lies not in brains but in tracheas ( windpipes ). Those of human beings are bigger and longer than those of chimpanzees. Thu means more air is inspired and expired as breath. About breath there are interesting descriptions in the Bible. In the Genesis it says God made a man out of soil and breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live. In other part it says life exists between incoming breath and outgoing breath. Thus breath plays key role is our life. In Hebrew and Greek, breath and spirit are the same words. In Hebrew it is ‘Luahf’ and in Greek, ‘Pneuma’ With breath and mouth organs human beings produced voice, and with haritage and through leaning we train our voice to reach the level of language which convey our culture. My contention is to realize the gift of voice and train it so that it can perform proper function as a tool of conveying our thought and culture. This is a kind of practice of speech and it may be called speechology. It includes the following practical methods: 1. Try to read aloud. 2. Encourage recitation, 3. Make public speaking as possible. 4. Learn theories of phonetics; such as about pronunciation, accent, intonation, prominence, assimilation and so on.
