This study attempts to examine the factors affecting the introduction of e-Business systems and also, to assess the effects of various e-Business systems on firm performance. Empirical analysis is carried out with firm data of 2009, which is collected from Firm Activity Survey of Statistics Korea. Firm performance is measured by four indexes; operating income per employee, value added per employee, return on assets, and return on sales. Empirical results indicate that a firm is more likely to introduce any e-Business system as its size and its assets per employee are larger and as its ratio of labor compensations to operating costs is lower. Additionally, a firm with higher skill levels and more fruitful management experiences is more likely to have any e-Business system. In general, it appears that the presence of e-Business, especially enterprise resources planning, has positive effects on the firm performance.

Advanced system architectures or frameworks proposed by researchers are usually verified by implementing their prototype systems, but it is very difficult to integrate them with operating legacy systems to show their applicability. Thus, a test bed approach is widely adopted to provide a system environment that imitates the operations of real legacy systems and their interactions. In this paper, we introduce our experiences to implement a test bed as a system environment on which we have implemented a prototype system to verify our studies for process information sharing. The test bed simulates simultaneously operating workflow systems and their interactions. We also show the result of the prototype system that was Implemented on the test bed.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop a predictive model for the sexual experiences of adolescents using the random forest method and to identify the "variable importance." Methods: The study utilized data from the 2019 to 2021 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, which included 86,595 man and 80,504 woman participants. The number of independent variables stood at 44. SPSS was used to conduct Rao-Scott χ² tests and complex sample t-tests. Modeling was performed using the random forest algorithm in Python. Performance evaluation of each model included assessments of precision, recall, F1-score, receiver operating characteristics curve, and area under the curve calculations derived from the confusion matrix. Results: The prevalence of sexual experiences initially decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, but later increased. "Variable importance" for predicting sexual experiences, ranked in the top six, included week and weekday sedentary time and internet usage time, followed by ease of cigarette purchase, age at first alcohol consumption, smoking initiation, breakfast consumption, and difficulty purchasing alcohol. Conclusion: Education and support programs for promoting adolescent sexual health, based on the top-ranking important variables, should be integrated with health behavior intervention programs addressing internet usage, smoking, and alcohol consumption. We recommend active utilization of the random forest analysis method to develop high-performance predictive models for effective disease prevention, treatment, and nursing care.

Objective: The objective of this research is to inquire about safety information from the standpoint of its usefulness to suggest the significance of the Reactive Safety Action Program, which serves to promote aviation safety culture. Background: Safety information plays an important role in operating safety programs. Each organization learns lessons from safety information collected from aviation accidents and incidents. When an accident occurs, it is only through safety investigation and a close inquiry on the cause that we can come up with an appropriate countermeasure which would contribute to preventing the recurrence of the same or similar accident. However, the usefulness of safety information produced from unsatisfactory safety investigation is insufficient. Method: This research analyzed the characteristics of aviation accidents, the differences between safety investigations and legal accident investigations in systematic and operative perspectives, and safety culture as a measure to activate reporting systems (compulsory/voluntary). Results: This research defined the investigation scope and processes of safety investigations and legal accident investigations. It also suggested factors such as just culture based on trust, non-punitiveness, confidentiality, the participation of the entire staff through the use of inclusive reporting base, ensuring the independence of the operating organization as a way to promote safety through reporting systems. Conclusion: The organization's effort is the important aspect in obtaining exact and accurate safety information from accidents/incidents. The separate running of SIB (Safety Investigation Board) and AIB (Accident Investigation Board), the systematization of safety information reporting system, and prescribing (legislating) the composition of related organizations are some representative programs. Application: This research inquired experiences that contributed in promoting aviation safety culture in a reactive perspective, and will serve a role in spreading safety culture by enabling the use of application experiences of the aviation field in other domains.

This study aimed to identify the components of the nurses' exposure experiences and clarify the semantic structure of nurses by analyzing the participants' experiences of exposure to radiation. The participants in this study were nine nurses who worked for at least six months in the operating room of a City General Hospital. The data were collected using in-depth interviews and analyzed using the phenomenological method by Giorgi's (2004). As a result, six components were derived: "worrying about the disease by repeated radiation exposures", "exhausting physically and mentally," "trying to protect themselves against radiation exposure", "feeling of internal confusion and conflict", "demanding improvement of work environment", and "accepting and adapting to reality". In conclusion, nurses participating in radiation exposure surgery are concerned about the possibility of disease, experience physical and mental fatigue, and then consider changing their occupation. On the other hand, they try to accept and adapt to reality by considering the possibility of a job change or trying to protect themselves from the harsh environment. To develop a radiologically safe environment, systematic and effective resolutions must be secured at the organizational level.

Recently, the artificial intelligence(AI) is used in various environments in life, and research on this is being actively conducted in education. In this paper, we designed a Design-Based Research(DBR)-based AI programming education program and analyzed the application of the program for the improvement of understanding of AI in elementary school. In the artificial intelligence education program in elementary school, we should considerthat itshould be used in conjunction with software education through programming activities, rather than creating interest through simple AI experiences. The designed education program reflects the collaborative problem-solving procedures following the DBR process of analysis - design - execution - redesign, allowing the real-world problem-solving activities using AI experiences and block-type programming language. This paper also examined the examples of education programs to improve understanding of AI by using Machine Learning for Kids and to draw implications for developing and operating such a program.

The purpose of this study was to explore employees' experiences of integrated services in Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Centers in Seoul. In-depth interviews were conducted with seven employees, including managers and heads of Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Centers. The interviews identified three themes: the direction of integrated service, the characteristics of the integration process, and the challenges of integrated service. For the direction of integrated service, the participants identified the integration center as a professional family services organization that provided customized services for different types of families. During the integration process, employees found it difficult to provide integrated services because few guidelines existed on operating an integration center that provided services to families with different characteristics and needs. However, they also explained positive aspects of integration, such as strengthening the business's capacity by expanding the organization. To improve integrated service, employees emphasized the expertise and appropriateness of the family services over the efficiency of the integration centers. They also stressed expansion as a role of a professional family services organization. These findings suggested that establishing a clear direction for integrated service as well as the roles of administrative support agencies is important for activating integrated services.
