Objectives: The aim of this review was to investigate studies on fire needle and to propose for the better method of studies in the future. Methods: Studies related to fire needle were searched with electric database for this study, and 10 domestic and overseas databases were included. Results: 19 clinical studies were analyzed in terms of condition, time of heating, number and frequency of treatment, number of heating, safety procedure or device aid reports of adverse events. Also 3 review studies were summarized. The number of studies was increasing and the kind of diseases to treat with fire noodle were various. Especially musculoskeletal diseases like ligament lesion and lumbago were noticeable. Heating-after-insertion method was recently proposed but the use of term was confusing. The report of adverse events or safety procedure was rare. Also there was an effort to develop more convenient and safer device. Conclusions: High quality clinical trial en fire needle is needed especially to compare 2 methods, heating-after-insertion and heating-before-insertion. And studies need to report safety procedures and adverse events to evaluate the safety of fire needle therapy.

With the arrival of the Internet age, which is characterised by interconnection, the importance of networks is increasing in entrepreneurial activities and networked incubation (NI) has emerged as a mainstream concept in business incubation (BI). However, detailed studies on operation models of NI have been scarcely conducted. In this respect, this paper suggests a knowledge-focused networked incubation (KNI) model optimised for the study BI was established by theoretical analysis, and has been applied. The initial diagnosis of the effectiveness of the KNI model was also conducted through descriptive statistics, case studies, and the Industrial Depth Interview (IDI). This study is significant in that it has elaborated an NI operation model that meets the down-to-earth needs of incubatees and also is universally applicable.

Objectives The present study examined the recent domestic and international trends of non-surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Methods The studies on non-surgical treatment of LSS were investigated via searching Korean web databases and PubMed. As a result, 39 studies were analyzed according to the authors, the types of study, the relationship to surgical treatment and the method of treatment. Results The first authors' occupations were identified as 17 doctors, 12 Korean medicine doctors, six physiotherapists, three chiropractic doctors and one doctor of science. The most common type of study in Korea was the case report and most of the studies were retrospective. Overseas, there were many prospective or experimental studies including randomized controlled trials (RCT). In Korea, non-surgical treatment was performed independently of surgical treatment in most cases. Among non-surgical treatments, the most researched treatment was traditional Korean medicine (TKM), followed by injection therapy, exercise therapy, and physical therapy. Conclusions Through this review, we can determine the effectiveness of TKM and its research direction. TKM should be studied experimentally including RCT and it should be conducted not only on acupuncture, but also on other treatment methods such as acupotomy, chuna, and herbal medicine. It is also necessary to conduct studies on TKM before and after surgery to compare the effects of surgery and TKM together, as well the effects on non-surgical treatments.

The purposes of this study were to determine the general trends of the family value orientations FVO of overseas Korean women, to investigate differences in related variables, and to examine the relationships between FVO and the related variables. The subjects were 1,413 Korean women over 20 years living abroad in America (363 women), China (555), and Russia Central Asia (495 women). The subjects completed a questionnaire on FVO. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The major findings were as follows: 1. Korean-American women's FVO were modernistic, Korean chinese women's were traditional, and Korean women in Russia Central Asia showed neither traditional nor modem FVO. 2. The overseas Korean women's values were different from the value's dimension. 'Filial piety' showed very traditional value orientations, but 'preference of son , and 'mate selection 'showed modem FVO. The dimensions of FVO were different according to the living region. 3. The FVO values were different according to age, and period of education. Korean-American women's FVO were positively related to age, health condition, and the cognition of being Korean. Korean-Chinese women's FVO were related to age, living condition, marital and parent-child relationship, self-respect, and life satisfaction. Russia Central Asia women's FVO were correlated with age, period of education, living condition, health condition, the cognition of being Korean, marital and parent-child relationship, self-respect, and depression.

In Korean Studies, there have been made many studies for finding the identity as the intrinsic academic field, because the Korean studies have complex intertwined characteristics with other fields. However, previous related studies have been mostly focused on the qualitative content analysis method related to the major Korean Studies, the study applying the bibliometric method was not conducted. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to draw intellectual structures about the domestic and overseas Korean studies academic papers applying the bibliometric methods, and to analyze content of intellectual structures by focus group interview (FGI). As the result of this study, the intellectual structure in the domestic Korean Studies had the characteristics of the Humanities, and the intellectual structure in the foreign Korean Studies had the characteristics of the Social Sciences. Also, the domestic Korean Studies encompassed a wide range of period from ancient to modern times, while the foreign Korean Studies focused on a modern and contemporary times. This study has a significance in the way that it is the first study to draw the intellectual structures in the domestic and foreign Korean Studies applying the bibliometric method, and then to carry out the comprehensive analysis through FGI with specialists in Korean Studies. However, in order to do more meaningful one-to-one comparison studies about the field of the domestic and foreign Korean Studies, many follow-up co-studies reflecting diverse opinions of many researchers in Korean Studies will be necessary.

SW education is being implemented in all the school due to the application of the 2015 Curriculum. The purpose of SW education is to improve Computational Thinking by using Unplugged Activities, Educational Programming Language, and Physical Computing. Among them, 73 domestic and 85 overseas researches related to 'Unplugged Activities' were compared and analyzed using semantic network analysis techniques. As a result, the research on 'Unplugged Activities' has been started from 1998, and the research has started in Korea since 2006. As the CT is recognized as a core competence for the future society in line with the 4th Industrial Revolution, researches have been rapidly increasing in both the domestic and overseas countries since 2016. In Korean studies, it was analyzed that many main words related to the elemental factors such as 'unplugged activity', 'robot utilization', 'educational programming language' were found. This suggests that future research should move toward research for the promotion of 'CT' which is the purpose of computer science.

The share of the internet has grown significantly in terms of usage and level of influence. Among the internet media, OhmyNews is considered a alternative media representing Korea's independent internet news, and a typical example displaying characteristics of the internet news. The processing step can be divided as five stage, with recorded information and applicable technical element extractable from each stage. In this thesis paper, we have analyzed domestic and overseas metadata standard examples to devise metadata design plans. Items to be focused when redesigning metadata based on domestic and foreign case studies are as follows: First, user access should be convenient; second, connection with related information should be considered; third, accumulation of production, management, usage, storage, and action history should be considered; and fourth, the design should allow higher utilization of contents. In depth researches over internet media are already being carried out in external academic disciplines including the media information studies, information and communication studies, and communications studies. We expect that it will also be necessary to consider such researches over the internet media for mass media record management research going forward.
