Amid the ongoing discourse on clean energy solutions, the reopening of decommissioned plants, such as the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) in the Philippines has become a focal point in the country. This study delved into the complex web of factors influencing public acceptance of BNPP, employing the values-beliefs-norms theory. By utilizing partial-least square structural equation modeling, the research unravelled the intricate relationships among biospheric values, altruistic values, egoistic values, ecological worldview, awareness of consequences, personal norm, social norm, and the broader acceptance of BNPP establishment. With 434 respondents participating in a self-administered online survey, the study identified key correlations. Emphasizing the collaborative impact on decision-making processes by social and personal norms, the study also highlighted the role of ecological values in shaping awareness. The foundational impact of values on ecological worldviews was explored, shedding light on public attitudes toward nuclear energy. This research offers actionable insights for policymakers, advocating for targeted communication strategies and public engagement initiatives to navigate barriers and promote informed decision-making in the dynamic landscape of nuclear energy development. The study contributes to the global conversation on sustainable energy strategies, emphasizing the pivotal role of public perception in shaping the trajectory of nuclear power.

This study was carried out to assess the potential of hypocotyl explants for multiple-propagation by intensive sweetener variety with high yielding in stevia of self-fertilization. Agronomical character of self-fertilization shown a height range 72.0~120.7 cm, branch's 4.9~56.6 in stevia. Selection of high content of Rebaudioside A (RA) from segregating population in mixing variety have a variety, 'DA1' (55.2%) from HPLC analysis. On a developing of multiple-propagation in stevia, hypocotyl explants used to select for reasonable medium under the influence of each plant growth regulators concentrations. In a Mix treatment of plant growth regulators, as Murashige and Skoog medium with 1.5 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L Kinetin showed the most favorable. We got the multiple-propagation of 30 shoots from one inoculated hypocotyl explants as the result of these bases. Rooting induced superbly on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L IBA with inoculated shoots. All of the rooting plants were adapted to a normal seedling. This method of multi-propagation is used effectively in Rebaudioside A productivity elevation.

This study investigated social determinants and their interaction effects on the health of school-aged children in diverse environmental factors pertaining to the individual, family, and peers from an ecological systematic perspective. Data were drawn from the first wave of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) developed by the National Youth Policy Institute and conducted in 2010. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Cronbach ${\alpha}$, correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS ver. 18. The results from this study showed that sex and age were related to the health of school-aged children, as social determinants. Self-rated levels of the health of boys and younger children were more positive than girls and older children; in addition, levels of self-resilience, satisfaction of peer relation, and parenting rearing attitude were found to have a positive impact on self-rated levels of the health of school-aged children as protective factors. Especially, according to the result of interaction analysis between factors, self-resilience, and parenting rearing attitude were moderators of the effects on between sex and household income and self-rated level of the health of school-aged children respectively. The findings from this study suggested the need to expand the social intervention range to improve school-aged children's health.

The study was based on Brofenbrenner's ecological system theory and a literature review. Methods: Data were collected using a convenience sample of 205 elderly residents in 2 nursing homes located in D city and 1 nursing home located in K province. The exogenous variables were individual factors, family support, and facility environmental factors. The endogenous variables were self-esteem, accommodation adaptation and quality of life of elderly residents in LTCF. Collected data were analyzed through structural equation modeling using AMOS 20.0. Results: Eleven of the twelve hypotheses were supported, but the hypothesis that facility environment factors effect self-esteem was not supported. Quality of life of elderly residents in LTCF was explained first by facility environmental factors, followed by self-esteem, individual factors, accommodation adaptation, and family support with an explanatory power of 83.0%. Conclusion: To improve the quality of life of elderly residents in LTCF, the service and environment preparation provided by facilities is important, and it is necessary to provide emotional counseling to improve the self-esteem of these elders.
