As part of effort to develop the strategies of internationalization of social science academic journals in South Korea, this study attempts to verify the measurement invariance of journal selection criteria across the groups of library and information science researchers and social science researchers. The authors collected 146 survey responses from researchers who have published at least one paper in SSCI/Scopus-indexed social science journals between 2014 and 2016. As a result of the study, it was found that the configural and partial metric invariance of the journal selection criteria held across the two groups, implying that the model of journal selection criteria is appropriate to use in the field of social science as well as library and information science. Additionally, the authors investigated the perceptions of journal selection criteria indicators in the two groups, and it was shown that researchers in both groups considered peer review and indexing in major databases important. The findings of this study could be useful for publishers or academic societies to develop improvement strategies of their journals.

Recently, deployments of firewalls and NATs ire increasing to provide network security features or to solve the problem of public IP shortage. But, in these environments, peers in different firewall or NAT environments may get limited services because they cannot open direct communicate channels. This can be a significant problem in pure P2P environments where the peers should get or provide services by opening direct channels among themselves. In this paper, we propose a scheme for dynamically selecting a peer that fan be used as a proxy server. The proxy server supports the communication between the peers in different firewall or NAT environments. The proposed scheme is operating system independent and supports bidirectional communication among the peers in P2P environments. Additionally, the proposed scheme can distribute network traffic by dynamically allocating proxy servers to the peers that is not located in the firewall or NAT environments.

This study investigates the effects of sociocultural influences of appearance(parental influence, media influence, peer influence) on body dissatisfaction and appearance enhancement behaviors(clothing selection, skin care, make-up, hair care, weight management). For data collection, a questionnaire was administrated to 562 female college students in Gwangju, Chonnam area and Chonbuk area, Korea, from May 23 to June 10, 2011. To analysis the data, descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, regression analysis, and path analysis were conducted. The results were as follows. First, the overall effects of sociocultural influences of appearance on body enhancement behavior turned out to have positive effects. Second, overall sociocultural influences of appearance had positive effects on body dissatisfaction. Third, the overall effects of body dissatisfaction on appearance enhancement behavior did not appear to be statistically significant. Forth, the effects that sociocultural influences of appearance on appearance enhancement behavior mediated body dissatisfaction appeared to be insignificant.

This study investigates the effects of sociocultural influences and body image on appearance enhancement behaviors (facial management, clothing selection, and weight/figure management). For data collection, a questionnaire was administrated to 562 female college students in Gwangju City, Chonnam area and Chonbuk area, Korea, from May 23 to June 10, 2011. To analyze the data, a SPSS 18.0 statistics package was used, and descriptive statistical analysis, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. The results were as follows. First, sociocultural influences were divided into three factors: parental influence, media influence, and peer influence. Overall sociocultural influences had positive effects on appearance enhancement behavior. Second, body image was divided into two factors: weight-concern and appearance-concern. Sociocultural influences had significant effects on overall body image. Third, body image appeared to have positive effects on overall appearance enhancement behavior.

Background: Extensive efforts have been made to investigate c-KIT expression in lung cancer specimens and its correlation with clinical outcomes, but the issue remains unresolved. Thus, this study will be conducted to clarify the prognostic value of c-KIT expression in lung cancer patients. Materials and Methods: We will search Pubmed, SCOPUS, and ISI web of sciences with no restriction of language. Studies with any design (except case reports or case series) evaluating correlations of c-KIT expression with survival or outcome in patients with lung cancer will be included. The outcome measures will include all types of survival indexes, including overall survival rate and disease free survival using Kaplan-Meier analysis and hazard ratios. Study selection and data extraction will be performed by two independent researchers. Quality assessment (assessment of risk of bias) and data synthesis will be implemented using Stata software version 11.1. Results: No ethical issues are predicted. These findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at national and international conferences. Conclusions: This systematic review protocol is registered in the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, registration number = CRD42015023391.

Background: Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent worker health conditions worldwide. Although the effect of noise exposure on hearing is well researched, other workplace exposures may account for significant hearing loss. The aim of this review was to determine whether occupational hand-arm vibration exposure through use of power or pneumatic tools, independent of noise exposure, is associated with permanent hearing loss. Do workers suffer from hand-arm vibratione-induced hearing loss? Methods: Peer-reviewed articles published in English between 1981 and 2020 were identified through five online databases with five search keywords. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, including online database search methodology, study selection, article exclusion, and assessment of potential study design confounders and biases, were followed. Results: Database searches retrieved 697 articles. Fifteen articles that reported 17 studies met the criteria for review. All but two studies revealed statistically significant associations between occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration and hearing loss. The majority of the study results revealed associations between hand-arm vibration and hearing loss, independent of potential age and noise confounders. Conclusion: Few studies have examined the association between occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration and hearing loss. Dose response data were limited as only one study measured vibration intensity and duration. Although the majority of studies identified statistically significant associations, causal relationships could not be determined. Further research using standardized and uniform measurement protocols is needed to confirm whether the association between occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration and permanent hearing loss is causal and the mechanism(s).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of information of appearance, peer preference, and personality traits on children's attraction to unacquainted same sex peers, and to determine the relative importance of the three types of information for the selection of a friend. The subjects of this study were 160 (80 boys and 80 girls) second grade children in Seoul. A Preference Questionnaire was administered in Session I to determine the likes of each subjects. The modified Preference Questionnaire (Reaves, 1981) was used. The subjects were then randomly assigned to one of eight experimental conditions. In Session II, subjects were shown pictures of attractive and unacttractive children, described as having a positive or negative character, with preference similar Of dissimilar to their own. Then they were administered the Interpersonal Attraction Scale (Reaves, 1981). The data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA, $Scheff\acute{e}$ test, and $X^2$. The results of this study were as a follows: The physically attractive stimulus child was preferred to the physically unattractive stimulus child. The stimulus child with preferences similar to the subjects' was preferred to the stimulus with dissimilar preferences. The stimulus with positive personality traits was preferred to the stimulus ehild with a negative personality. A difference in order of importance among the variables with regard to their influence on attraction ratings was found. Personality had stronger influence on attraction ratings than appearance or preference.

Purpose: Involvement of families in rounds is one strategy to implement patient- and family-centered care to help families get clear information about their child, and be actively involved in decision making. The purpose of this paper was to identify the major concepts of family-centered rounds for hospitalized children. Methods: We searched five electronic databases for relevant articles and used Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methods to synthesize the literature. Articles published between June 2003 and January 2016 were reviewed and through full text screening 24 peer-reviewed articles were found that met the selection criteria for this review. Results: Through in-depth discussion and investigation of the relevant literature, four overarching components emerged: (a) cognition of parents and medical staff, (b) effective communication, (c) collaboration of family and medical staff, (d) coaching of medical staff. Conclusion: For successful family-centered rounds positive cognition is important. Appropriate communication skills and consideration of multi-cultural family can lead to effective communication. Offering consistent and transparent information is important for collaboration between family and medical staff. Prior education on family-centered rounds is also important. Four major components have been identified as basic standards for implementing family-centered rounds for hospitalized children.

The purpose of this study was to introduce a case that used web2.0 techniques to overcome the limitations of current DACUM method. For the purpose, firstly, we summarized the characteristics and limitations of current DACUM as a method to develop an occupational curriculum. The summary indicated that the results of DACUM process are likely to be influenced by the selection procedure of out-performers. In addition, current DACUM method is difficult to be adapted to big organizations, difficult to reflect rapidly changing society, and lack of qualitative review for the findings. To overcome these limitations, Seoul city designed a transformed DACUM method based on web2.0 techniques. The most outstanding features of the transformed DACUM method were web-based peer review systems to validate the findings of DACUM workshop. We concluded that the transformed DACUM method was proper to big size organizations faced with rapid changes and some organizations with special needs to establish their training systems based on the results of job analysis. Finally, we discussed several practical tips for the Seoul city's method.

child relationships and school life through the in-depths interview with victims who have been victimized by peers for more than two years. For the selection of subjects, we administered questionnaires at three different times throughout a year. At both Time 1(July in 1998) and Time 2(December in 1998), 354 2nd grade junior high school students(169 boys and 185 girls) completed two kinds of questionnaires. And at Time 3(July in 1999), the subjects responded the questionnaires once more. Then 10 victims who has been victimized through Time 1, 2, and 3 were selected and interviewed. The victims were victimized for more than two years. Boys were more overt victimized, whereas girls were more related victimized. The victims were divided into four types by perception and reaction of victimization: (i) Passive victims who were afraid of and shrink from victimization, (ii) Aggressive victims who perceived seriously and reacted inappropriate aggression, (iii) Simple-minded victims who did not perceived seriously and reacted unconcernedly, and (iv) Ignorant victims who did not perceived seriously and reacted ignorant. The victims had been punitive frequently by parents at home. Also, they had no friends and teachers who supported for them in school.
