The main purpose of this study is to investigate factors that influence sleep duration and sleep time poverty in terms of family characteristics, child characteristics, and time use. A series of data analyses were conducted on children's time use in two-parent families based on the 2013 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. One major finding is that children's sleep duration and the probability of having a sleep time poverty are related to their mothers' job classifications. The factors influencing the duration of sleep time and the sleep time poverty are similar in terms of family characteristics and children's time use. The mother's job classification, family income, number of younger siblings, number of older siblings, children's private tutoring hours, computer game hours, and TV hours are statistically significant factors affecting the duration of sleep time and the probability of having a sleep time poverty. However, the factor with greatest influence on sleep time duration is private tutoring hours and the factor most affecting sleep time poverty is computer game hours. The mother's job classification is a relatively powerful determinant for predicting her children's sleep duration and sleep time poverty.

The increased use of smartphones has made it easier to plan travel. Especially for people travelling in Europe, it is common to move between cities by train, and reserving passes with a mobile app offers many advantages. The Czech Republic, which is a familiar destination for Koreans, is called the "heart of Europe" and it is in central Europe, so it is inevitable to use the railway when travelling. This study has been compared with the structural characteristics of the railway reservation service operated by the Czech and Korean railways. In general, when evaluating the usability of an app, we often use a method that allows a group of users or experts to spot problems. However, this study suggests an analytical method to obtain more reliable and objective results. Also, the analysis of the structural characteristics has an advantage that the problem can be predicted at the prototype stage. This, of course, comes with time and financial benefits. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the development of applications that are more convenient to use and efficiency of development.

Objective ： We investigated the characteristics of cellular phone use and its association with psychological problems among adolescents. Methods ： A total of 332 adolescent students were recruited for this study. The participants' self-reported characteristics of cellular phone use and the psychological problems caused by this were tested by using the Excessive Cellular Phone Use Survey (ECPUS), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) and the Korea-Youth Self Report (K-YSR). Results ： The excessive user group made more use of text messages and they spent more time and paid higher fees than the comparison group. They expressed severer depression and anxiety and they had more behavior problems and lower school performance than the comparison group. The ECPUS score was positively correlated with score of the CDI, STAIC and the behavior problem scales of the K-YSR, and the ECPUS score was negatively correlated with the school performance scale of the K-YSR. Conclusion ： Our findings suggest that excessive cellular phone use by adolescents may be related to psychological problems. Careful education about the use of cellular phones and intervention are recommended for adolescents who excessively use cellular phones.
