Purpose: This study was designed to examine the basic data for an effective measure for the caregiver's burden and adaptation of industrial accident patient. Method: The data were computerized by the SPSS/pc for Window. Results: 1) The burden felt by the caregiver of the patients who were in hospital was more than 'average', and objective burden was higher than subjective one. 2) The adaptation felt by the caregiver was more than 'average'. 3) The objective burden of the caregiver based on the general characteristics varied in the relationship between the caregiver and the patient, the level of education of the caregiver, the age of the caregiver, nursing period, nursing time per day, and so forth. The subjective burden was significantly related to the relationship between the caregiver and the patient, the level of education of the caregiver, the age of the caregiver, nursing period, nursing time per day, and the religion. 4) The adaptation of the caregiver based on the general characteristics varied in monthly income and nursing period. 5) The relationship between the burden and adaptation of the caregiver were reverse. Conclusion: Even though the caregiver have high burden, they positively adaptation it.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ego-resilience and stress coping styles on college adaptation in nursing students. Method: The sample for this study consisted of 1st and 2nd year students from 3 colleges of nursing, one each, in Jeolla, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang Provinces. The data were collected from November 5 to 22, 2010. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple regression with SPSS 18.0. Results: A positive correlation was found for college adaptation with stress coping styles and ego-resilience. The strongest predictor of college adaptation was an optimistic attitude. In addition optimistic attitude, satisfaction with nursing as a major, confidence, academic scores, age, emotional control, and gender accounted for 63.3% of variance in college adaptation. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that development of stress coping and ego-resilience in nursing students is important to college adaptation. Further research in improving ego-resilience and stress coping is warranted.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the role adaptation process experienced by executive directors of nursing department of general hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from 9 executive nursing directors though in-depth interviews about their experiences. The main question was "How do you describe your experience of the process of role adaptation as an executive nursing director?" Qualitative data from field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss & Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The core category of experience of the process of role adaptation as an executive nursing director was identified as "entering the center with pushing and pulling". The participants used five interactional strategies; 'maintaining modest attitudes', 'inquiring about trends of popular feeling', 'making each person a faithful follower', 'collecting & displaying power', 'leading with initiative'. The consequences of role adaptation in executive nursing directors were 'coexisting with others', 'immersing in one's new role with dedication', and 'having capacity for high tolerance'. The types of role adaptations of executive directors in nursing department were friendly type, propulsive type, accommodating type. Conclusion: The results of this study produced useful information for executive nursing directors on designing a self-managerial program to enhance role adaptation based on interactional strategies.

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the mediating effect of self-identity on the relationship between aggression and school life adaptation of early adolescents. Methods: This study used the 5th-year data of the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) including 159 middle school 2nd students from single-parent families. The data was analyzed with open source statistics program R 3.5.0 to determine whether self-identity had a mediating effect on school life adaptation as an independent variable. Results: A moderate correlation was found among aggression, self-identity, and school life adaptation. As a result of the Sobel test, self-identity of early adolescents demonstrated a significant mediating effect on the relationship between aggression and school life adaptation. Conclusions: Given the significant mediating factor of self-identity, the strategies for early adolescents to boost their overall school life adaptation should be considered through intervention programs that help to enhance their self-identity.

In this paper, we investigated performance of a vocabulary-independent speech recognizer with speaker adaptation. The vocabulary-independent speech recognizer does not require task-oriented speech databases to estimate HMM parameters, but adapts the parameters recursively by using input speech and recognition results. The recognizer has the advantage that it relieves efforts to record the speech databases and can be easily adapted to a new task and a new speaker with different recognition vocabulary without losing recognition accuracies. Experimental results showed that the vocabulary-independent speech recognizer with supervised offline speaker adaptation reduced 40% of recognition errors when 80 words from the same vocabulary as test data were used as adaptation data. The recognizer with unsupervised online speaker adaptation reduced abut 43% of recognition errors. This performance is comparable to that of a speaker-independent speech recognizer trained by a task-oriented speech database.

In this paper, we propose an application of data hiding, especially for content adaptation, where one can reduce computational time and get better transcoding results or qualify. Hiding some useful information for content adaptation can help resource tailor to do effective transcoding so that one can achieve lower complexity as well as better quality in content adaptation. Experimental results show that the proposed method based on data hiding gives effectiveness to content adaptation with reasonable subjective quality.
