Purpose: This study aimed to construct and test a predictive model for the quality of life (QOL) in mothers of children with developmental disabilities (DB). The hypothesized model included severity of illness, distress, uncertainty, self-help, and parenting efficacy as influencing factors, QOL as a consequence based on the Braden's Self-Help Model. Methods: The data were collected through a direct and online surveys from 206 mothers in 8 locations, including welfare or daycare centers, developmental treatment centers, and The Parents' Coalition for the Disabled located in two provinces of Korea. Data were analysed using SPSS/WIN 23.0 and AMOS 21.0 program. Results: The fit indices of the predictive model satisfied recommended levels; 𝛘² = 165.79 (p < .001), normed 𝛘² (𝛘²/df) = 2.44, RMR = .04, RMSEA = .08, GFI = .90, AGFI = .85, NFI = .91, TLI = .93, CFI = .95. Among the variables, distress (β = - .46, p < .001), parenting efficacy (β = .22, p < .001), and self-help (β = .17, p = .018) had direct effects on QOL. Severity of illness (β = - .61, p = .010) and uncertainty (β = - .08, p = .014) showed indirect effects. The explanatory power of variables was 61.0%. Conclusion: The study results confirm the utility of Braden's Self-Help Model. They provide a theoretical basis for improving QOL in mothers of children with DB. Nursing intervention strategies that can relieve mothers' distress and uncertainty related to disease and enhance parenting efficacy and self-help behavior should be considered.

This paper describes a monitoring system that monitors power quality and undesirable accidents when distributed generations are connected to the power grid. Prior to develop and operate a physical monitoring system, we constitute a simulation device to simulate the monitoring processes for the situations. The simulation system consists of the server and the client that connected by communication line. This system has various functions to monitor the power quality and the connection situation. Those functions are generation, transmission, acquisition and analysis of the simulated power data. This research seems very important to get the reliable and intelligent connection algorithm through the result of simulated monitoring system. Also hereafter, as this system uses the remote monitoring system through network and constitute the data base(DB), it will play an important role in building the automation of power system efficiently and systematically.

The purpose of this study is to explore trends in research at home and abroad related to "Sport Facilities", and seek the direction of further research. 1,801 abstracts of papers including "Sport Facilities" were collected from the SCOPUS DB from 2016 to 2020. Topic modeling techniques based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm implemented in R language, TD-IDF techniques, and word cluds using Tagxedo was conducted to analyze the data. As a result, 8 topics were optimally determined, and "sports", "facilities", "health", "physical", "data", and "using" were derived as the main keywords for topics. This results indicated that studies on physical activity, health and using facilities regarding sports facilities at home and abroad have been actively carried out in recent years. This indicates that papers in SCOPUS DB are paying attention to the instrumental value of sport facilities, such as health promotion and improving the quality of life. Therefore, various studies that help participants who use sport facilities for a healthy life should be continuously conducted in the future.

Today, the usage of DB already becomes an important issue for many companies' survival, especially, for the companies who have adopted CRM(Customer Relationship Management). CEM(Customer Experience Management), as a practical alternative, can settle it. In this paper, we use QFD(Quality Function Deployment) and GA(Genetic Algorithm)-based Group ANP(Analytic Network Process) to construct the Integrated CEM Model to help company decide the priorities of investment in customer experiences.

As interests in the quality of data in database systems are growing recently, analysis and improvement of data quality in databases have been an important issue. However, there has yet to be a clear agreement on how to reasonably calculate the total cost of such project. In this paper, based on real project data and budget statistics, we develop a model to estimate the cost for quality analysis and improvement project of a database. We first conduct statistical analysis to build our basic model. Throughout this analysis, we have identified factors that determine the scale of works required to conduct the project and eventually determine the cost. In addition, we have identified factors that determine the complexity of the project. These factors can adjusts the cost determined by the scale of works. Our model is verified and improved by surveys on experts. We apply our model to newly conducted projects and observe that our model estimates the cost of each project reasonably well.

As the fourth industrial revolution began to take off in earnest, the quality and quantity of data shared among devices began to increase exponentially over the network. In addition, the category of devices where people are exposed to such data has become diversified into desktops, mobile phones, smart phones, smart pads, and smart watches. As a result, the medium that contacts the data has begun to change, and the place where modern society has the most data is smart device. However, smart devices still leave much to be desired in terms of network speed and hardware specifications to handle large amounts of data at one time. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the use of Service Worker, IndexedDB, and LocalStroage, which can retrieve a large amount of web contents more efficiently from mobile devices, and suggest ways to improve it.

OAK(Open Access Korea) is a national repository project to support free access to Korea's open access knowledge information. However various problems and limitations are recognized when organizing and sharing metadata with OAK-IR system. This study aims to suggest a modified metadata standard to improve the quality of OAK metadata. To the end, this study analyzed all metadata elements used by OAK participating organizations and compared the metadata with the metadata of other typical repository systems. In details, metadata organized in 17 OAK participating organizations were analyzed with their metadata specifications, input data examples, and practitioner interviews. And a case study on DSpace, EPrints, BEPress, ETD-db, dCollection was conducted. The final modified OAK metadata elements were suggested through group discussion and coordination by the practitioners of OAK participating organizations, OAK supervisors, and the developers of OAK-IR system.

Multimedia title needs player that depends upon operate system. This raises problems of data compatibility and resource consumption by overlapping development of player. To solve problems, we propose a method which produce multimedia title contents to internet document and then display on internet browser. Contents in multimedia title are transcoded to internet pages, having greate quality, based on CSS Layer for spatial synchronization of multimedia data. This method converts existing DB into XML for multimedia title including personal information. Therefore, XML data and resource information is playable by private multimedia player. Consequently, user can display multimedia content without player using internet browser in anytime.
