Methods: Participants consisted of 41 pairs of adolescent survivors (13-18 years) and their parents. Parents checked for their child's physical late effects. The Korean Version of Post-Traumatic Symptoms for psychological late effects, social functioning questionnaire for social adjustment and the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales for quality of life were completed by adolescents and parents. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: Twenty out of 41 adolescents had one or more physical late effects. Adolescents showed more serious psychological late effect than parents. Five children and seven parents had above cut-off scores and they were considered the high risk group for posttraumatic symptoms. Parent-reported scores were significantly higher than child-reported scores in terms of social adjustment and emotional functioning of quality of life. Low school functioning in adolescents was associated with physical late effects. Conclusion: The results indicate that long-term and systematic management for childhood leukemia survivors affect positive social adjustment and can further improve quality of life.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between school adjustment and stress-coping styles among adolescents. Methods: This is a descriptive correlation survey using a convenience sample of 701 middle school students in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Jeonbuk, and Gangwon province, Korea. The study's questionnaire included a scale of school adjustment and a scale of stress-coping style. The data analysis, using the SPSS 19.0 program, involved frequency, the mean and standard deviation, the t-test, ANOVA, the scheffe test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Positive correlations were identified between positive stress-coping styles and the adjustment to school life of adolescents. The degree of school adjustment varied significantly according to the region, grade, attending private educational institutes after school or not, academic performance, daily study hours after school, and the hours students spend on gaming and Internet use a day. With regard to the behaviors to cope with stress, teenagers with a higher sense of life-satisfaction tended to show active coping behaviors, and female students were more likely to show positive or negative coping behaviors than mystic coping behaviors. Since adolescents' stress-coping styles showed connection with their adjustment to school, it is necessary to develop stress management programs to help middle school students adjust to school life. Conclusion: Based on the study's findings, it is important to develop programs which can help students adjust to school and learn how to cope with stress positively.

Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires at middle and high school students located in Seoul and the metropolitan areas. Methods: The response rate is 94.8% (474 cases). The internet addition was measured by K Scale. The various methods of analysis were used, for example, frequency analysis, t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. Results: First, the mean score of internet addiction level is 2.07 in 5 Likert scale. the internet addiction level of the male students are higher than female students (p<.05). Second, as a result of classification of internet addiction groups by K Scale, 11 students (2.3%) are included in high risk group, 27 students (5.7%) are in potential risk group, 436 students (92.0%) are in general group. Third, the level of social support and self-efficacy of middle and high school students are very high. The difference of social support by internet addiction groups was not statistically significant. But, the difference of self-efficacy by internet addiction groups was statistically significant. The level of self-efficacy of the students in general groups are more higher than in high risk group and in potential risk group (p<.01). Fourth, the difference of school adjustment by internet addiction groups was very statistically significant. The level of school life adjustment of the students in general groups are more higher than in high risk group and in potential risk group (p<.01). Fifth, the internet addiction have a negative correlation with school life adjustment. And the social support and self-efficacy have a positive correlation with school life adjustment (p<.01). Finally, in stepwise multiple regression analysis, the internet addiction affects negatively on the school adjustment.

A total of 4,323,781 records for informal 16 primary linear descriptive traits of dairy cows in Holstein breed from 1988 to 2007 in USA were analyzed to estimate adjustment factors for lactation number and stage. While all factors in the model were highly significant (P < 0.01), major influences on linear type traits were due to lactation number and stage. The frequencies of lactation number 1 through 6 were 58.6, 22.0, 11.8, 4.8, 2.1, and 0.8%, respectively. Further, the frequencies of lactation stage were 0.7, 76.9, 15.3, 4.9, and 2.1%, respectively, for springing, early, medium, late, and dry. To adjust 16 linear traits (stature, dairy form, strength, body depth, rump width, rump angle, legs rear view, leg set, foot angle, fore udder, rear udder height, rear udder width, udder support, udder depth, and front teat placement), additive and multiplicative adjustment factors of lactation number (lactations 2 to 4) and stage (springing, medium, late and dry) were estimated with the solutions in the generalized linear model, assigning lactation 1 and stage early as base class. Additive adjustment factors of lactation number ranged from -1.23 to 2.908, while multiplicative factors ranged from 0.853 to 2.207. Further, additive and multiplicative adjustment factors for lactation stage ranged from -0.668 to 0.785, and from 0.891 to 1.154. Application of adjustment factors to 20 randomly sampled sub-data sets produced the results that additive adjustment factors for both lactation number and stage reduced more mean square of lactation number and stage over 16 linear traits than any combination of adjustments, and leaded additive adjustment factors for both lactation number and stage as a choice of methods for adjustment of informal 16 primary linear type traits collected by classifiers of AI studs.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of resilience and social support on adjustment to college life of freshman and sophomore year college students. 166 college students from two universities in J city were instructed to answer structured questionnaires, and the data was analyzed by T-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and Regression analysis using SPSS 24.0 software. The results show that resilience and social support have statistically significant positive correlation to adjustment to college life. Variables that affect adjustment to college life are college major satisfaction, grades in the preceding semester, drinking, smoking, positivity(a sub-variate of resilience), and material support(a sub-variate of social support) with explanatory power of 39.6%. The results of this study suggest the need to develop programs that consider resilience, social support, and college major satisfaction in order to support freshmen and sophomores with their adjustment to college life.
