Background: Exercise is necessary for the health of companion dogs. It is necessary to determine the relationship between height, weight, age and amount of exercise for the purpose of companion dog's health. Objectives: A survey was conducted in this study to small-dog owners living in Yongin city, Gyeonggi-do about their canine healthcare awareness. Design: Questionnaire design. Methods: The questionnaire was composed of exercise amount, type of exercise, and the necessity of exercise, general health condition, and environment. A total of 139 survey results were obtained. The average value of each item was analyzed and expressed in terms of frequency and percentage. Then, Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to find the relationship between these items. Results: The weight and height were not shown to have a significant difference in the amount of exercise in the results. The weight had a weak positive correlation with "exercise time of canine per day". The age had a weak negative correlation with "the number of canine exercise per week" and "frequency of canine exercise per day", while it had a weak positive correlation with "self-assessment of canine lack of exercise". Conclusion: Based on this study, it is believed that in the future, various environments where dogs can exercise are believed to be necessary for the era of convergence.

The purpose of this study is to identify the level of safety perception, ethical awareness, and safety activities of nursing students for patients, and to identify the correlation and impact between them. The research design is a descriptive survey study, and the subject of the study were 197 nursing college students in G City. Safety perception, ethical awareness, and safety activity tools were used for, and the data collection period was from October 17 to 28 in 2022. T-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Regression analysis were used to analyze data. The result of the study indicated that the average level of safety perception of nursing students was 3.72 points, the average ethical awareness of patients, professional work, and cooperators perceived by nursing students was 3.04 points, and the safety activities of nursing students were 4.20 points. In the case of safety awareness and ethics awareness, r=.327, a significant positive correlation, in the case of safety awareness and safety activities, r=.399, significant positive correlation, ethics awareness and safety activities as r=.296. And so on these results showed that high safety perception increases safety activities, and high ethical awareness increases safety activities. Therefore, we need practical and step-by-step convergence education to equip nursing students with patient safety nursing capabilities. To this end, a safer environment will be created if the social support network for the systematic application of safety education is well formed.

The purposed of this study was to identify the factors that affect turnover intention in general hospital nurses. The study subjects were 110 general hospital nurses agreed to participate and understand the purpose of the study. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The mean score of emotional intelligence was 3.51 points, and the mean score of job embeddedness was 3.09 points, and the mean score of turnover intention was 3.61 points. Emotional intelligence and turnover intention had a negative correlation, job embeddedness and turnover intention had a negative correlation and emotional intelligence and job embeddedness had positive correlation. The factor with the largest effect on turnover intention was job embeddedness (${\beta}$=-.298, p<.001). The explanatory power of job embeddedness on turnover intention was 21.0%. Therefore, we propose the implementation of a study to develop and apply nursing intervention programs to improve job embeddedness.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact on service quality of caregivers. 200 caregivers in 6 elderly care facilities located in J city were instructed to answer structure questionnaires, and the collected data was analyzed by T-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. The results of the study show significant differences in service quality depending on their religion, education level, form of employment, employment period, health status, and access to staff lounge. Work environment shows positive correlation to service quality, whereas job stress shows negative correlation. Variables shown to affect service quality are, from the most powerful to the least, human environment, physical environment, form of employment, employment period, and education level with explanatory power of 42.6%. The results of the study suggest the need for putting in individual effort and improving work environment specifically to unique characteristics of each institution and looking into various ways to intervene in financial support policies in order to promote service quality of caregivers.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among job satisfaction and positive psychological capital and self-leadership in general hospital nurses and to provide the basic data for the development of job satisfaction intervention programs. The data were collected from 120 nurses working in the six general hospital located S and Y city using self-reported questionnaires and April 1 2017 to April 15 2017. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, Scheffe, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 20.0 program. Job satisfaction was found to be in a significant positive correlation with positive psychological capital and self-leadership. The result of the multiple regression indicates that positive psychological capital and self-leadership predict 27.5%(F=23.51, p<.001) of job satisfaction. Therefore it is necessary to develop convergence program to strengthen the job satisfaction of clinical nurses'.

The statistical characteristics of aerosol-cloud interactions over East Asia were investigated using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite data. The long-term relationship between various aerosol and cloud parameters was estimated using correlation analysis, principle component analysis, and Aerosol Indirect Effect (AIE) estimation. In correlation analysis, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) was positively Correlated with Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) and Cloud Fraction (CF), but negatively correlated with Cloud Top Temperature (CTT) and Cloud Top Pressure (CTP). Fine Mode Fraction (FMF) and CCN were positively correlated over the ocean because of sea spray. In principle component analysis, AOD and FMF were influenced by water vapor. In particular, AOD was positively influenced by CF, and negatively by CTT and CTP over the ocean. In AIE estimation, the AIE value in each cloud layer and type was mostly negative (Twomey effect) but sometimes positive (anti-Twomey effect). This is related to regional, environmental, seasonal, and meteorological effects. Rigorous and extensive studies on aerosol-cloud interactions over East Asia should be conducted via micro- and macro-scale investigations, to determine chemical characteristics using various meteorological instruments.
