Methods: A sample of convenience was 224 nursing students, and a questionnaire was used to measure their disaster awareness, disaster preparedness, ego-resiliency, and core competencies on disaster. Results: A significant positive correlation was found among core competencies, disaster awareness, disaster preparedness, and ego-resiliency. Disaster preparedness(${\beta}=.413$), grade of which the participant was in(${\beta}=.165$), satisfaction on clinical practice(${\beta}=-.160$), ego-resiliency(${\beta}=.159$), and disaster related education experience(${\beta}=-.120$) were significant predictive variables of which accounted for 38.5% of the variance in core competencies.

Blockchain technology provides distributed trust structure; with this, we can implement a system that cannot be forged and make Smart Contract possible. With blockchain technology emerging as next generation security technology, there have been studies on authentication and security services that ensure integrity. Although Internet-based services have been going with user authentication with password, the information can be stolen through a client and a network and the server is exposed to hacking. For the reason, we suggest blockchain technology and OTP based authentication mechanism to ensure integrity. In particular, the Two-Factor Authentication is able to ensure secure authentication by combining OTP authentication and biometric authentication without using password. As the suggested authentication applies multiple hash functions and generates transactions to be placed in blocks in order for biometric information not to be identified, it is protected from server attacks by being separate from the server.

Recently, healthcare services are using cloud services to efficiently manage users' healthcare data. However, research to ensure the stability of the user's healthcare data processed in the cloud environment is insufficient. In this paper, we propose a partial random encryption scheme that efficiently encrypts healthcare data in a cloud environment. The proposed scheme generates two random keys (p, q) generated by the user to optimize for the hospital medical service and reflects them in public key and private key generation. The random key used in the proposed scheme improves the efficiency of user 's healthcare data processing by encrypting only part of the data without encrypting the whole data. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method showed 21.6% lower than the existing method and 18.5% improved the user healthcare data processing time in the hospital.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of marketing capabilities on business performance among SMEs. The results suggest that complexity, trialability, and observability are among the technological factors that have a significant influence on ICT adoption. Research advantage and compatibility do not influence ICT adoption. Meanwhile, organizational factors such as owner/manager knowledge and innovativeness significantly influence ICT adoption among SMEs. Environmental factors such as competitive pressure, institutional intervention contribute significantly to the adoption. Moreover, data analysis reveals that ICT adoption has a positive influence toward SMEs' marketing capabilities. Finally marketing capabilities significantly influence a firm's business performance.

The purpose of this study is to identify the oral health behaviors of the Sanitation Workers and to lay the basis for the policy direction for promoting industrial oral health. A total of 79 self - filling questionnaires were analyzed for Sanitation Workers in Gwangju Metropolitan City. As a result, oral health education experience was about 25% compared to 80% of scaling experience. Oral hygiene is related to academic background, type of employment, and number of years of work. Periodontal status was higher in 'high sensitivity' and 'gum edema' than high school education or higher. The higher the income and education, the more perceived periodontal status was 'normal' or 'worse'. Therefore, it is meaningful that we analyzed sanitation worker and it is necessary to take various efforts and countermeasures to improve the oral health of the industry by expanding the opportunities for oral health education by taking into consideration the Sanitation Workers and developing active and complex programs.

The purpose of this study to compare the effect of physical therapy interventions on the improvement of ankle joint range of motion with stroke patients. Total subjects were 45 stroke patients, who were divided into a group using inclined boards(n=15), a group of receiving stretching(n=15), and a group of receiving joint mobilization(n=15). The experiment was performed for 8 weeks. The plantar flexion showed significant differences both groups and by periods. The dorsiflexion showed significant differences between groups and by periods, and the group in changes within groups by periods. This study found that stretching and joint mobilization are effective as an intervention method to increase the range of motion on ankle joint. Future study is expected to investigate other effects of increased ankle range of motion in stroke patients.
