Purpose: This study investigates the participation status in clinical nursing education and nurses' continuing education needs to develop educational programs. Methods: Participants were 227 nurses working in medical institutions where nursing students practiced, and the selection criteria were nurses with more than two years of clinical education experience; data were collected using structured questionnaires. Results: More than half of the clinical nurses had completed a preceptor training program for clinical nursing education, and the subjects mainly educated by nurses were new graduate nurses and nursing students.

Subjects were 102 college students(grade 1, department of physical therapy) who enrolled in 'neuroanatomy' course. Blended learning was composed of 13 weeks-3 hour/1week in offline and 16 chapters-24 lessons in online. According to Kolb's learning style, assimilator was the most common. There were no significant differences between the learning style but, they were most preferred blended learning(92.1% of subjects), improved participation and excitation in learning(each 55.5%, 58.8% of subjects), and blended learning was helpful in learning(85.1% of subjects). In student's satisfaction, there was significant difference between the learning style. Statistical difference was found in satisfaction between assimilator(80.7%) and accommodator(67.5%).

According to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) report, the suicide rate of senior citizens has been high since 2009 due to lower social participation compared to their youth and depression. As entering the Information Era, it became easier to form and expand relationships due to the influence of online community sites. However, it is difficult to use these community sites for the elderly because they lack accessiblity for seniors. In this paper, we describe the content of community mobile apps for senior citizens' social solitude and participation in information society. We also, analyze why community sites are difficult to use, and suggest community mobile app interfaces and content considering physical and cognitive conditions, focusing on user scenarios based on PACMAD, one of the user assessment models. This will serve as the basis for encouraging the elderly to participate in the information society.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of agricultural management accounting information, education status, and policy demands through a questionnaire survey of advanced agricultural managers. These people are expected to play a key role in the changing agricultural environment in Korea. Based on survey results, several policy implications were derived for the advanced agricultural managers' agricultural management accounting information record activation. Survey results of 303 respondents identified that 63.4% of them record their agricultural management accounting information. The biggest reason given for not recording this information was lack of time for record keeping. The biggest problem was a 'lack of Question and Answer system'. In addition, 37.2% of the respondents were not aware of the current agricultural accounting guidelines. In terms of education, 71.3% of the respondents have completed course work in accounting and responded that an 'On-off parallel education system', which offers both online and offline classes, was the most effective method to prevent dropout. Respondents thought that agricultural management accounting records were helpful for the management of agriculture and their participation in government policies. They also thought that customized education programs should be further implemented for enhancing the effectiveness of education programs, and 'One-stop Question and Answer system on related web sites and organizations' is required for them to keep better records. The following policy implications can be derived from the survey results. First, interoperability between agricultural management accounting information recording programs is needed. Second, accessibility should be strengthened. Third, the education system needs to be improved. Fourth, voluntary participation should be encouraged. Last, the government needs to establish a post-verification system.

As a form of online co-production, government crowdsourcing platforms have received growing attention from scholars and practitioners as a means of enhancing government-citizen co-production. This research aims (1) to introduce government leaders and managers to recent empirical research examining real-world cases of government crowdsourcing from different countries, (2) to systematically organize, analyze, and discuss the findings and implications of recent government crowdsourcing empirical studies, and (3) to provide government practitioners with evidence-based insights that could encourage informed decisions about how they design, implement, and evaluate government crowdsourcing platforms effectively and inclusively. Literature review is limited primarily to empirical works that rigorously examined real-world cases of government crowdsourcing. By focusing on a review of empirical research on crowdsourcing co-design and crowdsourcing design/government delivery platforms, this study discusses the key findings systematically and offers some insights and implications for leaders and managers seeking effective and inclusive design and implementation of government crowdsourcing platforms.

Consumers are now no longer satisfied with using a single channel to shop and then desire a smooth and consistent purchasing experience across channels. By integrating different channels and services, an omni-channel strategy allows consumers to choose their preferred channel to complete their shopping tasks. Therefore, large retailers in China have recently been transforming into omni-channel retail formats to secure their competitive advantage. To better implement this strategy and optimize its effectiveness, it is important to understand how consumers respond to the quality of channel integration. Based on social exchange theory (SET), the main purposes of this study are to explore the impact of channel integration quality on consumer engagement in the Chinese omni-channel retailing environment and to further examine whether there is a moderating effect of consumer empowerment on this relationship. To test this research model, we collected data from 330 respondents by conducting an online questionnaire in China. The results indicated that the two dimensions of channel integration (breadth of channel-service choice and transparency of channel-service configuration) positively affected two dimensions of customer engagement (conscious attention and enthusiastic participation), respectively. The findings also show that consumer empowerment only positively moderates the relationship between breadth of channel service choice and conscious attention, whereas it negatively moderates the relationship between transparency of channel-service configuration and conscious attention/enthusiastic participation. Given these results, this study deepens our understanding of the impact of the quality of channel integration on customer engagement in the context of omni-channel retailing in China and sheds light on how retailers can attract consumers with different levels of empowerment.
