Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the reactions of emergency department nurses to violence. Methods: Q-methodology which provides a method of analyzing the subjectivity of each item was used. Thirty emergency department nurses classified 33 selected Q-statements into a normal distribution using a 9 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using the Quanl PC Program. Results: Three types of reactions to violence were identified. The first type(emotional and physical reactions) showed a sense of regret on the selection of an occupation and emotional and physical reactions such as anxiety, fear, depression, hopelessness, heart palpitations and trembling hands due to the violence. The second type(problem solving) actively coped to prevent the occurrence of violence, grasped the causes of violence and sought out a problem solving plan. The third type(anger reactions) felt a lot of anger against violence, and resented their reality of working under conditions of inadequately secured facilities and systems. Conclusion: The emotional and physical reactions type and the anger reactions type should be required to attend educational programs to improve attitudes and abilities to solve the problems in a more active and positive manner.

본 연구는 현재 임신 중인 임산부 중 6개월 이상의 임산부를 대상으로 스스로가 본인의 체형을 어떻게 인식하고 있는가 하는 주관적 평가를 유형화하고 유형별 특성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 임산부의 체형에 적합한 의복디자인 및 패턴설계에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 Q방법론을 사용하였으며, Q분석은 쿼넬 프로그램(QuANL pc program)을 사용하였다. 임산부의 체형에 대한 인식 유형은 가는 팔다리 중앙 반구형 복부 체형, 처진 복부 돌출 체형, 굵은 윗팔 중앙 돌출 복부 체형의 3가지 유형으로 분석되었다. 가는 팔다리 중앙반구형 복부 체형은 임신 전 BMI지수가 가장 낮아 정상에 속하였으며 팔다리는 가늘고 다른 부위는 거의 살이 찌지 않았으며 배만 나왔다고 인식하였다. 처진 복부 돌출 체형은 임신 전 BMI 지수가 가장 높아 과체중에 속한 유형으로 가슴둘레, 엉덩이둘레뿐만 아니라 몸에 전체적으로 살이 쪘으며, 배가 아래로 처진 체형으로 인식되었다. 굵은 윗팔 중앙 돌출 복부 체형은 제1유형과 같이 복부의 중앙부분이 돌출되어 있다고 인식하였으나 윗팔둘레가 굵어졌다고 인식하여 제1유형과는 차이를 나타냈다. 임신 전 BMI 지수는 중간인 그룹으로 정상에 속하였다. 향후 연구에서는 임산부의 실제 체형 분석을 통하여 본 연구의 인식체형과의 차이를 비교 분석해보는 것도 의미 있는 연구가 될 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the types of image that early childhood teachers have about nursery teachers in detail in an effort to provide some information on how to build an ideal image of a nursery teacher. Another goal was to determine the right directions for teacher education based on the subjective opinions of early childhood teachers, which has not been covered in earlier studies. The Q-methodology was utilized to determine the awareness of early childhood teachers about the types of the images of nursery teachers and each type's characteristics. A Q-population was constituted by 310 types of images based on the results of earlier studies about the images of nursery teachers, and 48 Q-samples were selected according to frequency. And then 20 nursery teachers and 20 kindergarten teachers were asked to classify the images of nursery teachers in nine stages by using the Q-sort, and the data were analyzed by the statistical package PASW 18.0. As a result, four different types of images appeared that the early childhood teachers had about nursery teachers, and the images were respectively named 'a practical-teaching-oriented type of teacher', 'a negative-system critical type of teacher', 'a positive-humanistic type of teacher' and 'a neutral-emotionally type of teacher'.

This study tried to explore factors for improving academic achievement in online non-face-to-face education based on the survey results of a University's online cooperative learning Q&A. Due to the Corona situation, both professors and learners can easily feel psychological isolation due to the implementation of all non-face-to-face online classes. As one of the methods, it was intended to suggest the direction of future education to various teachers and learners by sharing class cases in which the online cooperative learning methodology was applied. Previous studies on non-face-to-face online learning, online cooperative learning, and learning promotion method were reviewed, and the online Q&A method was adopted as a specific learning promotion method to conduct research. In the Q&A process, learners were given an opportunity to check their learning content, share knowledge and communicate, and performance evaluation-related factors such as guaranteeing anonymity of the questioner and answerer, improvement points system, and absolute evaluation were asked. As a result of the survey analysis, it was found that they are the success factors of online cooperative learning. It is a small change that can be applied in practice in the future where online non-face-to-face learning is likely to continue, but by sharing meaningful cases of application of teaching methodologies, both professors and learners being motivated and actively involved in. It is expected that we will be able to suggest methods and directions for improving skills together by changing and supplementing the learning field.

Recently, the risk of security incidents has been increased due to change of IT environment and development of new hacking methods. Event study methodology that measures the effect of a specific security incident on the stock price is widely adopted to analyze the damage cost of security incidents on market value. However, analysis of company's temporary stock price change is limited to immediate practical implication, and reputation loss should be considered as a collateral damage caused by security incidents. We analyzed 52 security incidents of listed Korean companies in the last decade; by refining the criteria presented by Tobin's q, we quantitatively showed that the companies has significantly higher reputation loss due to security loss than the other companies. Our research findings can be used in order that the companies can efficiently allocate its resource and investment for information security.

This study aimed at public officials who are most strongly demanded to tear up the corruption and diagnosed what they really think about 'the corruption'. So, a qualitative research method called 'subjectivity study' or 'Q methodology' was used to typing on the perception of corruption. In other words, 30 Q-samples related to corruption and P-samples composed of 30 public officials were investigated to derive the analysis results. As a result of the analysis, three types of perceptions of corruption were defined. That is, showed a high distribution of civil servants such as 'educational administration' and 'teacher', and and showed a high distribution of 'general administrative positions' civil servants. Also, among the respondents of , it was found that the distribution of 'high' was higher for the level of corruption in our society, and the distribution of 'medium' for and was found in the case of the respondents with high factor weight. The overall explanatory power was high at 62.11%, and based on the series of results, a hypothesis could be found that 'the perception of corruption differs according to the characteristics of the work of public officials'. By the results, the commonly recognized terms for 'corruption' were 'politician/politician' and 'solicitation'. Therefore, based on a series of results, this study is expected to be the 'Priming' for finding ways to move toward a more transparent society by diagnosing and reflecting on the thoughts of corruption in our society once again.
