The main aim of this research paper is to identify the factors that influence smartphone purchase intention in the Nepalese market. The study identifies how the brand personality, attribute factors, and the price factor influence the purchase intention of a smartphone. The paper puts the emphasis on how the consumer preference functions in the selection of the smartphone and which factor plays the more significant role in smartphone purchase intention. This research paper has used primary data and a 7-point Likert scale survey questionnaire. The primary data has been collected through a structured survey questionnaire by using convenient sampling technique from 294 smartphone users in the Kathmandu Valley. Descriptive statistics, Correlation Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) have been carried out to analyze the primary data using the SPSS AMOS 24. Brand personality, attribute factor, and product price were taken as independent variables to identify the impact on purchase intention. The result of the regression path analysis showed that brand personality has no significant effect on purchase intention in the purchasing of smartphone. It is also found that the product attributes and product price have a significant influence on consumer purchase intention of a smartphone in Nepal.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Teamwork on Engagement among employees of private primary and secondary schools in Plateau State, Nigeria using the dimensions of Teamwork, which are Communication, Leadership, Team Structure, Situation Monitoring, and Mutual Support on Employee Engagement. Research design, data, and methodology - To analyze the relationship among the variables, the study adopted the descriptive and explanatory research design, and a cross-sectional survey method using a survey questionnaire containing 29 items, with a 5-point Likert scale. The samples of 274 employees (both academic and non-academic) were selected using a simple random probability sampling technique. Multiple Regression was used to analyze data with the aid of the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 23.0). Result - This shows that Communication, Leadership, and Situation Monitoring have a positive and significant relationship on Employee Engagement, while Team Structure and Mutual Support show a negative direction but still maintained a significant relationship. Conclusion - The management of private primary and secondary schools should pay attention to Communication, Leadership, Team Structure, Situation Monitoring, and Mutual Support among their employees to promote Employee Engagement in the workplace. It also recommends that future studies should be carried out in other sectors.

본 연구는 중국 안산시의 초중등학교 교사들의 "사회적 사고방식"을 연구하려는 시도가 이루어졌다. 연구를 진행하기 위해 안산시에 있는 298명 교사를 선정하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구는 문헌조사와 설문조사를 결합한 방법을 채택하였다. 그 결과 안산시 초·중등학교 교사들의 전반적인 '사회심리학' 수준이 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 교육 배경이 다른 교사의 직업 만족도에는 상당한 차이가 있습니다. 경로 모델은 변수 간의 상호 작용 메커니즘을 보여줍니다. 일반적인 자기 효능감과 업무 몰입도는 이 메커니즘에서 중요한 역할을 합니다.

The authors had surveyed on the snack foods of 300 primary school children in Seoul in order to obtain the informations for the dietary counseling and suggestions as a method of dental caries prevention. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Primary school children had the intake of the snack foods in the order of the apple, the candy, the orange, the cake, the milk, the biscuit, the Ramyeontang, the regular gum, the persimon, the Tugpokie. 2. Of the primary school children, 5.6% had intaking no snack food, but 10.6% once, 21.6% twice, 29.0% three times, and 33.0% four times or over in a day, respectively.

Intestinal parasitic infections remain a serious public health problem globally and have usually been associated with human malnutrition. This study was performed to observe the present status of intestinal helminthes infections among the primary school children in Iksan, Korea, during the period from June to August, 2006. A total of 974 fecal samples (male 479, female 495) were collected and examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique for intestinal helminthes eggs. Of the 974 samples examined, 2 (0.2%) were egg positive for intestinal helminthes, and only eggs of Clonorchis sinensis were observed in the 2 cases. These C. sinensis egg were found in grade 5 (male, 1 case) and grade 6 (female, 1 case), respectively. The egg positive rate of male and female were 0.2%, respectively. Through this survey, I found that the C. sinensis infection is prevalent among primary school children in Iksan, Jeonbuk, and a continuous health education for school children is recommended to prevent the potential infection of C. sinensis.

Providing free primary care to everyone is an important goal pursued by many countries under universal health care programs. Countries like India need to efficiently utilize their limited capacities towards this purpose. Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, patients incur substantial travel and out-of-pocket expenses for getting primary care from publicly-funded facilities. We propose a set-covering optimization model to assist health policy-makers in managing existing capacity in a better way. Decision-making should consider upgrading centers with better potential to reduce patient expenses and reallocating capacities from less preferred facilities. A multinomial logit choice model is used to predict the preferences. In this article, a brief background and literature survey along with the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) optimization model are presented. The working of the model is illustrated with the help of numerical experiments.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether attachment to primary caregivers and family interaction affect rural children's social competence through self-regulation ability. To achieve this, a survey was conducted with 345 students aged 11-13 attending elementary schools in a rural area of Gyeongsang Province. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and path analysis using the AMOS 23.0 program. The main result was that rural children's self-regulation had an indirect effect on attachment with primary caregivers and family interaction through social competence. The findings of this study will contribute to designing a variety of programs that can promote the positive development of social competence among rural children.

Various geological thematic maps such as grain size or ground water level maps have been generated by interpolating sparsely sampled ground survey data. When there are sampled data at a limited number of locations, to use secondary information which is correlated to primary variable can help us to estimate the attribute values of the primary variable at unsampled locations. This paper applies two multivariate geostatistical algorithms to integrate remote sensing imagery with sparsely sampled ground survey data for spatial estimation of grain size: simple kriging with local means and kriging with an external drift. High-resolution IKONOS imagery which is well correlated with the grain size is used as secondary information. The algorithms are evaluated from a case study with grain size observations measured at 53 locations in the Baramarae beach of Anmyeondo, Korea. Cross validation based on a one-leave-out approach is used to compare the estimation performance of the two multivariate geostatistical algorithms with that of traditional ordinary kriging.

The NGO program of "intestinal parasite Control among primary Schoolchildren of Lao PDR", supported by KOICA and implemented by KAHP, has started in 1999 and will be executed until 2004. Under cooperation of the LAo Ministry of Health, WHO, Korean Embassy and KOCIA, for the last 4 years, KHIP has conducted parasitological survey throughout the country, supply of medical equipment and anti-helminthics and treatment of positive people. The results of the survey is as below : A total of 29,846 stool specimens were collected from primary schoolchildren from May 2000 to June 2002 and examined once with the cellphone thick smear. By species, the rate for Ascaris lumbricoides was 34.9%, hookworm 19.1%, Trichuris trihiura 25.8%, Opisthorchis iverrini 10.9%, Taenia spp. 0.6% and Hymenolepis spp. 0.1%. The northern mountainous regions showed a higher prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths. The regions along the Mekong River such as Khammuane, Saravane or Svannakhet Province showed a higher prevalence of fish-borne parasites.
