Passive agents participate in team activities passively, that is, only upon requst, whereas active agents involve themselves voluntarily. Teams composed of active agents are generally believed to perform better than those with passive agents. In this paper, by using a computational simulation model we examine the effect of agent activeness on the efficiency of decision-making teams that access different amout of information. "Team-Soar" is a computational fraemwork that consists of a group of interconnected individual Al agents (i.e., Soar). A simulation experiment using Tearm-Soar was performed. Results of the simulation provide valuable insights on the roles of agent activeness. For example, the impact of having more active agents becomes more sigfniciant as the amout of information to process increases and when the team decision efficiency is important. Some of the results are counter-intultive and therefore provides an opportunity to understand the roles of the agnet activeness more deeply. For instance, the simulation results reveal that having more active agents did not always enhance team efficiency. Conclusively, the simulation experiment demonstrates how computational models contribute to the research of agents social characteristics.teristics.

The purpose of this study is to explore factors inducing dental hygiene student's activeness during clinical practice. A conceptual study was conducted for dental hygiene students who participated in the clinical practice for the first semester of 2019. The focus question was, 'What factors induced activeness during clinical practice?', a total of 33 statements were drawn by analyzing the responses. Results of multidimensional scale analysis and cluster analysis, there are six factors that induce activeness 'provide information on clinical practice', 'possibility to participate in clinical practice', 'possibility of adaptation', 'attitude of educator', 'patience of educator', and 'attitude toward trainees'. Among them, the most factor inducing activeness was the 'possibility to participate in practice'. The four items inducing activeness were 'provide a training manual', 'can be observed closely,' 'practice for a sufficient period', and 'the educator's attitude is kind'. The results of this study could be used as basic data to enhance the clinical practice effect of dental hygiene students.

This paper explores the how the disability type, severeness and economic activeness affects marital satisfaction, and seeks to improve marital satisfaction among disabled by clarifying mediating effects of discriminatory experiences in everyday experiences. This research was done with 3,463 married disabled who were prone to everyday discrimination, among whom were enrolled in research database of Employment Development Institute of Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled. The research showed positive effects between marital satisfaction and everyday discriminatory experience except for unemployed people and severe among all the disabled type (external disability, sensory disability, mental disability, internal disability), disability severeness (severe and light), and economic activeness (paid workers, self-employed, home-worker, unemployed, not economically active). Also, relationship between disability type, severeness, economical activeness and marital satisfaction was partly mediated through everyday discriminatory experiences. Therefore, active movements to reduce everyday discrimination are strongly advised.

The purpose of this study was to investigate cognition of life phenomenon on robotic dogs according to properties of robotic dogs amongst aged 3, 4 and 5. 95 Children aged 3 to 5 years participated in this study. Each child was interviewed individually and responded to questions designed to measure his/her cognition of life phenomenon. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in children's cognition of the life phenomenon according to their age. 3 years were more likely to refer the robotic dog as alive, compared to the 5 years. Secondly there was a significant difference in children's inference of the life phenomenon according to properties of robotic dogs. Such as high activeness and responsiveness, preschoolers considered robotic dogs to be alive and have more biological and psychological traits. This result shows the activeness and responsiveness of robotic dogs influences young children's inference of life phenomenon.

The subjects were 205 teachers at 48 childcare centers located in Jeonlabuk-do area. The instruments employed included efficacy belief, teachers' role performance, experiences, and age. The data were analyzed by t-test, Pearson correlation, and Regression Analysis. The results of this study are as follows: First, the role of child carer was the vest performance through childcare teachers' role. Second, the role of instructor, counselor, researcher, and others was significantly different among the types of childcare institution. Third, the social position of ability and personal teaching efficacy belief were correlated positively with teachers' experience.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the sensibility of the compound fashion image of contemporary fashion. The specific objectives were to analyze 1)the structure of meaning about fashion sensibility on 2)the difference of fashion sensibility by categories on 3)the difference of fashion sensibility by demographical aspects on 4)the consumer sensibility on the compound fashion image. For collecting data 55 stimulus and questionnaire which consisted of bi-polar 21 pairs adjective scale were contributed 675. The results were summarized as following : 1. Factors of fashion sensibility consist of estheticism, activeness, personality and feminity. And the meaning of fashion sensibility is young and personalty. 2. The man/woman and the past/present are highly estimated personality, the main/subcultural is activeness and the local/global is feminity of fashion sensibilities. 3. gender and age have high difference of the compound fashion image so they are important variance for fashion sensibilities. 4. Preference, purchase and quality are highly influenced by estheticism, pleasure is influenced by personality. The results of this study will be utilized in the clothing design for accepting customers' specific fashion sensibility about compound fashion image.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing students' active practice in clinical nursing education and to find ways to improve them. Methods: In this study, the factors affecting students' practice in nursing clinical practice were reviewed and their opinions were discussed. Results: A limited clinical practice environment, lack of a role model of leading and independent nurse interferes with the active practice of nursing students and negatively affects the image of nurses. On the other hand, semantics that links practice to students'life supports active practice. Conclusion: Clinical practicum educators should actively carry out the role of introducing students to rational of their practice, and arrange meetings with nurses and students who carry out nursing care independently with leadership. In addition, the clinical nursing education should include courses that allow students to discuss the various issues they have in the nursing practice.
