Purpose: This study was done to develop the self-report Mother-Preschool Child Interaction Scale (MPIS) for mothers of preschool children. Methods: The scale was based on items derived from literature review and in-depth interviews. A methodological study was used to check reliability and validity and participants were 334 mothers of preschool children enrolled in kindergarten or nursery. Data were analyzed using principal component factor analysis for construct validity, t-test for contrasted group validity, Pearson correlation for criterion related validity and test-retest reliability and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ for reliability. Results: In the final MPIS 34 items identified through factor analysis were included, 6 constructs were derived, and explanatory power was 64.2%. Items on the MPIS were verified through correlation with the interaction observation scale of Kim & Mahoney and MPIS. Results were significant as mothers in the normal group exhibited MPIS scores that were significantly higher than those of mothers in the depressed group. Reliability of MPIS was .96 and test-retest reliability was .92. Conclusion: MPIS has the advantage of being easy to use, economical, and useful. Consequently, it is expected to be used as a screening tool for promptly and simply identifying the mother-preschool child interaction in diverse nursing practice and research.

In this paper, the calculation of the theoretical pressure transfer ratio due to the deformation of the thin-plate spring type check valve applied to the small piezoelectric-hydraulic pump was carried out. A thin-plate check valve is a flexible body that is deformed by an external force. The deformation of the check valve affects the rate at which the chamber pressure is transferred to the load pressure. The theoretical pressure transfer ratio for each model was calculated to compare the difference between the assumption that the thin-plate check valve is a rigid body and that of the flexible body model. The P-delta effect was considered for the calculation of the pressure transfer ratio of the flexible check valve model. In addition, a verification test for the calculated pressure transfer ratio obtained by considering the deformation of the flexible check valve model was carried out. The load pressure was measured by applying a thin-plate and ball-thin plate spring type check valves, respectively. The experimental pressure transfer ratio was calculated using the respective load pressure obtained from the experiments. The validity of the pressure transfer analysis of the check valve, taking into consideration the P-delta effect, was verified by comparing it with the theoretically calculated pressure transfer ratio.

A human resource management of the general contractors is to mostly deal with daily input by each subcontractor in construction fields. However, this way has some limitations; the identification of proper human-input and productivity, preventive activities or efforts for minimizing schedule delay. The reason why these limitations are that few systematic efforts through a coordinated field administration with the construction schedule planning and human resources. Therefore, on the basis of the construction schedule planning, human resource management of subcontractors is necessary to make for an improvement in construction schedule control. Daily Scheduling Check System(DSCS), as the linked human resources on an existed CPM scheduling software, was developed and this paper then verified validity and effectiveness of using the DSCS for the framework of some actual apartment construction projects

This study aimed to develop a scale to measure physical health behaviors among social work clients using general services. The scale items were constructed based on literature review and FGI of social workers. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmative factor analysis affirmed the factor structure of Physical Health Behavior Scale with two sub-scales: Health Promotion Behavior Scale and Health Hindrance Behavior Scale. Promotion Scale had 7 factors and Hindrance Scale had 5 factors. Both sub-scales showed acceptable ranged goodness-of-fit for the model, and internal consistency test proved that the scale was reliable. The analyses of discriminant validity, convergent validity, and concurrent validity resulted significant validation. Based on those results, the developed Physical Health Behavior Scale were proved well-constructed, reliable and valid. The Scale will be utilized for both clients in general to check their own health related behaviors and social workers to adopt as a tool for assessment in order to perform an evidence based practice.

This case study is performed to check the validity of cognitive behavioral therapy for high school students with mathematics anxiety. In order to find out whether it is effective or not, one female high school student who suffers physically and mentally from mathematics anxiety was selected and cognitive behavioral therapy was applied. The therapy is applied to her for 30 to 40 minutes, once a week, and for eight weeks. The main themes were: To understand my problem, To write down thinking log, To set up a plan for actions, To experiment actions, To change intermediate confidence, To change core belief. To check the validity, before and after the experiment, revised version of Heo(1996)'s assessment tools for mathematics anxiety was applied. The subject was interviewed and the results of the therapy were compared and analyzed. According to the research, the worst mathematics anxiety of the subject was test anxiety. After the procedure, the anxiety related to mathematics and teachers was lessened. Especially, the subject had changed her mind and become more positive and optimistic on solving difficult mathematics problems. Therefore, the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on mathematics anxiety was confirmed. It is required to construct special program - about cognitive behavioral therapy, interactions of cognitive-affective causes, and group therapy - and check the validity of it.

Major corporations and portals have implemented a link server that connects Content Management Systems (CMS) to the physical address of content in a database (DB) to support efficient content use in web-based environments. In particular, a link server automatically connects the physical address of content in a DB to the content URL shown through a web browser screen, and re-connects the URL and the physical address when either is modified. In recent years, the number of users of digital content over the web has increased significantly because of the advent of the Big Data environment, which has also increased the number of link validity checks that should be performed in a CMS and a link server. If the link validity check is performed through an existing URL-based sequential method instead of petabyte or even etabyte environments, the identification rate of dead links decreases because of the degradation of validity check performance; moreover, frequent link checks add a large amount of workload to the DB. Hence, this study is aimed at providing a link server that can recognize URL link deletion or addition through analysis on the B-tree-based Information Identifier count per interval based on a large amount of URLs in order to resolve the existing problems. Through this study, the dead link check that is faster and adds lower loads than the existing method can be performed.

PMN-PT, a piezoelectric single crystal, has many useful applications such as sensors and actuators. In this paper, all the elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of the PMN-32％PT single crystals were measured by the resonance method. For the rhombohedral symmetry, a total of twelve independent material constants were measured such as six elastic compliance constants at constant electric field, two dielectric constants at constant stress, and four piezoelectric constants d. Seven sets of crystal samples of each different geometry were prepared for the measurement of length-thickness extensional, thickness extensional, radial, length extensional and thickness shear modes of vibration, respectively. In order to check the validity of the measurement, experimental impedance spectrum of the PMN-PT crystal was compared with numerical data spectrum calculated with the measured material constants. The good agreement between the two spectra confirmed validity of the results in this paper.

A differential mobility analyzer (DMA) has been widely used as a standard tool for classifying nanoparticles with a certain size. More recently, several new types of DMA have been tested in an attempt to produce size-monodisperse nanoparticles. It is a bit surprise to see how simple the working theory of the DMA is. Although the theory was demonstrated quite successful, no one can guarantee whether the theory still works in another geometry of the DMA. In this regard, we first investigated the validity of the theory under various working conditions and then moved to check the validity upon minor change in its design. For the valid test, we compared the results with those obtained from a computational fluid dynamics.
