Altruistic virtuous caring, possibly originated from religion and/or spirituality, is indispensable for holistic health through channeling vital energy with diet, exercise and meditation. This is a participant-observed medical anthropological research of a first generation Korean elderly immigrant health professional woman living in a four generational family. She had hypertension and was concerned about possible attack of stroke. Multi-religious, spiritual, and cosmological vital energy based on holistic Nature-oriented health beliefs and practices influenced by psychosocial, cultural and economic background, education, self- discipline and self-cultivation of individual, and group or family may create health. Self-care beliefs based on confidence in self-control of one's life style for oneself and others influence individual and group health practice. The holistic alternative health beliefs and practices were proved to be efficacious and beneficial by her self-evaluation, evaluation of significant others, biomedical professionals, and laboratory tests. That may have potential application for global health.

Compliance with information security policies has been an important managerial concern in organizations. Unlike traditional general deterrent theory, this study proposes whistle-blowing as an alternative approach for reducing internal information security policy violations. We build on the theories of planned behavior and rational choice as well as develop a theoretical model to understand the factors that influence whistle-blowing attitudes and intention at both the organizational and individual levels. Our empirical results reveal that altruistic and egoistic concerns are involved in the development of whistle-blowing attitudes. The results not only extend our understanding of whistle-blowing motivation but also offer directions to managers in promoting internal disclosure of information security breaches.

This research, by analyzing the current first aid education status in K district, Seoul and comparing first aid education systems in other developed countries, introduces the need of first aid/Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) education with Automated External Defibrillator(AED) usage to high school students, who are on the verge of becoming adults. The thorough research shows that schoolsshould be appointed as mandatory facilities for AEDs by laws and execute first aid education to their students. Only through organized and consistent first aid education would the students develop into true volunteers who not only have altruistic minds, but the ability to fluently adapt to medical emergency and properly use AED. In addition, the research also outlines various laws that could be legislated such as having to master the basic degrees of first aid education before getting driver's license and graduating high school so that more people become aware of first aid.

Differences and relationships between Emotional Intelligence Quotient(E.Q.) and altruism of elementary school students were analyzed by the demographics of age, residence, and level of education of mothers and mothers' parenting attitudes. Subjects were 469 sixth grade students in urban and rural areas and their mothers. Results showed that parenting attitude was influenced by mothers' living area and level of education. Elementary students' E.Q. was related to their living area. The students' altruism was related to living area and mother's level of education. There was a significant relationship between E.Q. and altruistic behaviors of elementary school children.

The research which it led and it tried to observe the layout of Hwa-Um buddhist architecture by Avatamska sutra. The avatamska sutra is one of the scriptures which are important from Buddhism and Hwa-Um buddhist architecture is same channel. Sip-ji-pum that it includes the contents of avatamska sutra is most important. Hwa-um buddhist architecture can divide the major space into a three precinct. First, the gate to a Buddhist temple(A step of self interest. Second, Ru and a building for Buddhist priest(A step of Altruistic act). Third, A Buddhist sancturary(A step of Religious ascetic). From the above results, we can know that site layout of Hwa-um buddhist architecture in the Hwa-um sect relations to the dogmatic background, thought.

본 논문에서는 모바일 데이터베이스 시스템에서 동시성제어의 정도를 높이고자 새로운 프로토콜을 제안한다. 트랜잭션의 동시성제어를 하는데 있어서 다중적인 접근으로부터 문제시되는 데이터 일관성을 보장하고, 대역폭이 낮은 모바일 환경 속에서 일어날 수 있는 잦은 접속 단절과 잦은 이동에 대한 트랜잭션 처리의 효율을 높이고자 한다. 2PL(two-phase locking)로부터 확장된 프로토콜인 XAL(extended altruistic locking)모델의 연장으로서 양방향(Bi-directional) 기부연산에 따른 트랜잭션의 처리와 트랜잭션을 판독전용과 판독 및 갱신용 트랜잭션의 두 가지로 분류함으로서 이동 컴퓨터 환경에서 단기 트랜잭션의 처리성능의 정도를 높이고자 한다.

모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 실시간 데이터베이스 시스템의 트랜잭션 처리시 2PL-HP 방법은 성능이 우수한 스케줄링 기법이다. 그러나 2PL-HP 방법은 높은 우선순위를 갖는 트랜잭션의 선행처리를 항상 보장하기 때문에 낮은 우선순위를 갖는 트랜잭션은 철회 및 블로킹이 불가피하여 기아(starvation) 현상을 초래한다. 본 논문은 이러한 기아 현상으로 인한 낮은 우선순위를 갖는 트랜잭션의 기다림과 철회를 최소화 하기 위해 이타적 잠금 기법에 우선 순위 기법과 2 버전 기법을 이용하였다. 데이터항목을 점유한 트랜잭션이 더 이상 그 데이터항목을 필요로 하지 않을 때 그 데이터항목을 기부함으로 우선순위가 낮은 트랜잭션들의 불필요한 재 시작 및 기다림을 방지한다. 이로써 마감시간 초과비율과 재시작 비율을 감소 시킬 수 있어 시스템의 처리율을 향상 시킬 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the subjectivity of Koreans about well-dying by dividing the cognition and attitudes of Koreans about well-dying into five types and analyzing and interpreting each type. Method: Q-methodology, which is effective in scientifically measuring individual subjectivity, was used. The result of the Q-shorting of the 34 Q-statements by 42 participants was analyzed with the PQM program. Result: Five cognitive types of the subjectivity about well-dying were identified and labeled as follows. Type I: Individual and preparation for the other world. Type II: Receptive to nature and fate. Type III: Oriental and family centered. Type IV: Realistic and self-independent. Type V: Altruistic and preparing for the other world. Conclusions: This study generally show that traditional family connections and blood relationship are declining, and western rationalism and the pursuit of the positive meaning of well-dying are beginning to be accepted in the cognition of modern Koreans.

In the bacterial community, unicellular organisms act together as a multicellular being. Bacteria interact within the community and programmed cell death (PCD) in prokaryotes is a sort of altruistic action that enables the whole population to thrive. Genetically, encoded cell death pathways are triggered by DNA damage or nutrient starvation. Given the environmental and bacterial diversity, different PCD mechanisms are operated. Still, their biochemical and physiological aspects remain unrevealed. There are three main pathways; thymineless death, apoptosis-like death, and toxin-antitoxin systems. The discovery of PCD in bacteria has revealed the possibility of developing new antibiotics. In this review, the molecular and physiological characteristics of the three types of PCD and their development potential as antibacterial agents are addressed.

The cooperation and trust among the project participants play a critical role in the success or failure of any delivery system in construction industry. But it is very difficult to establish trust between an owner and a contractor when rational people only pursue only their own material self-interest. Based on the principal-agent theory, this paper will introduce the altruistic behavior into the traditional principal-agent model, and model the reciprocal behavior between the owner and contractor. We will show that both the owner and the contractor benefit from their reciprocal behavior, and hence trust establishing between them is possible. More importantly, we will proof that the higher the project uncertainty is, the more important trust establishing is.
