Background and objective: Education based on agricultural experience in school gardens is coming to the fore as a solution to reduce the negative effect of rapid urbanization and the development of information technology (IT) on students. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate how parents of elementary, middle, and high school students in Korea perceive the value of education service using school gardens, as well as their willingness to participate in and pay for such service, and to utilize the results in a quantitative assessment of the socioeconomic value of the education service. Methods: A contactless online survey on the perceived value of education service using school gardens was conducted on 1,010 parents of elementary, middle, and high school students in Korea's five major districts from October 22 to 26 (5 days) of 2020 by M, a Korean specialized survey agency. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS for Windows 25.0 and Excel to obtain the frequency and ratio of each measured item. Results: The respondents had an average of 1.83, of which 52.8% were male. 55.3% of the respondents were aware of the education service using school gardens, and 27.9% experienced the service. When asked if they saw the educational service using school gardens as necessary, 79% answered in the affirmative. In terms of the difference in perception of the need for the service according to experience, 91.8% of the parents who experienced the service responded that it was necessary, indicating that it is important to provide opportunities to experience this service to expand the scope of service. 54.9% of all respondents responded they were willing to pay the costs required for school gardens. When income tax was used as a payment method, the average amount parents were willing to pay was 13,193 KRW, and the tax rate was 2.02%. Based on experience, those who experienced this service had a higher need and willingness to pay for the service than those who had not experience, but the actual amount or tax rate was low as they knew how it was operated. Conclusion: As basic research on the assessment of the value of agricultural experience education using school gardens, this study determined how parents perceive this form of education service as well as their willingness to participate and pay for the service. These findings can be used to systemize the assessment indicators and promote the value of the education service using school gardens, allowing students to maintain a healthy and happy school life through agricultural experience.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of smoking prevention smoking cessation program using smoking cessation supporters on the smoking knowledge and beliefs and self-efficacy of smoking cessation of nursing students. The smoking prevention and smoking cessation program developed for this study consisted of general education on smoking (8 times for 30 minutes each time) and the activities of college student smoking cessation supporters. The 30 college student smoking cessation supporters consisted of 6 people per team, a total of 5 teams, and conducted online video promotions by team, smoking cessation promotion and campaign activities, recruiting and mentoring for smoking cessation challengers. As a result of the study, smoking prevention and smoking cessation programs using smoking cessation supporters were effective in increasing nursing students' smoking knowledge and changing their beliefs about smoking negatively. In particular, by understanding the awareness and overall situation of smoking among nursing students, and operating a smoking prevention and smoking cessation program, it made them realize that smoking prevention and secondhand smoke among non-smokers are threatening the health of others. It contributed to the spread of the smoking cessation culture in the university by providing a way to motivate people to quit smoking and to maintain their success in quitting smoking.

Blockchain, which is the basis of virtual assets such as cryptocurrency, is receiving great attention as one of the cornerstone technologies of the 4th industrial revolution. Blockchain is a technology that can fundamentally change our lives not only in finance, but also in politics, logistics, and culture. However, it shows lower-than-expected usability because it is complicated to learn and is continuously being developed. In this study, we tried to investigate whether the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) of virtual assets can be changed through education on the underlying technology, blockchain. A video-based online experiment was conducted with a total of 103 participants and examined how the type of training(positive, negative) and measurement timing(before, after) affect perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, acceptance, which are TAM variables, and trust and security, which are related to blockchain characteristics. As a result of the experiment, interactions were found in all dependent variables according to the type of education and measurement timing. Specifically, groups that received negative education had no difference in all variables before and after, but it was found that groups that received positive education showed an increase afterwards. Through this, it can be seen that the effect of education based on the anchoring effect is also shown in the intention to use virtual assets using block chain technology, suggesting that the intention to use blockchain related technology can be increased through positive education.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the educational effect of learning mentoring conducted by EBS for elementary and middle school students, the changes in self-directed learning skills, emotional stability and learning effect were analyzed for 425 students who participated in the EBS learning mentoring. As a result, There was no statistically significant difference in the educational effect according to the mentoring service period, method, and frequency, and there was a statistically significant difference in self-directed learning ability according to the mentoring time. As a result of analyzing the effect of the perception of the mentor on the educational effect, the more positive the mentor and the more positive the mentor role, the higher the self-directed learning ability and emotional stability. As for the learning effect, mentoring satisfaction had the greatest influence on the learning effect of Korean, English, and mathematics. The mentor role was affecting the Korean language and mathematics. Therefore, in order to reduce the learning gap of underprivileged students in the distance learning situation, the EBS learning mentoring project should be continuously promoted, and the mentoring period and the number of students and teachers participating in mentoring should be significantly increased.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the zero-sum belief scale among a sample of Korean adults. The original scale was developed by Różycka-Tran, Boski, and Wojciszke (2015) based on the Belief in a Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) model. A total of 508 participants (252 college students and 256 non-student adults) completed an online survey comprised of the scales of zero-sum belief, social trust, subjective socioeconomic status, individualistic-collectivistic tendencies, and social comparison orientation. Results of the exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that zero-sum belief scale has one factor. The internal consistency of the zero-sum belief scale was good. The Zero-sum belief scale did not have a significant relationship with social trust and subjective socioeconomic status. However, the scale was positively associated with vertical individualistic and vertical collectivistic tendencies and negatively associated with horizontal collectivistic tendencies. There was no significant relationship between zero-sum belief and horizontal individualistic tendencies, but there was a significant positive relationship between zero-sum belief and social comparison orientation. However, the results from the college student sample and the non-student adult sample were different. Lastly, this study could facilitate future research on zero-sum belief in South Korea, and future studies are needed to reveal the predictors and effects of zero-sum belief.

This paper intends to focus on the practical activities and historical significance of network art, that is, 'net art' as an artistic form that depends on network technology. This is because the appearance of net art, which constructs a new interactive art that cooperates and exchanges with each other beyond the boundaries of time and space, can be a contemporary alternative in overcoming the limitations of traditional art. Another important research area to be considered in this paper is net art curating, as well as considering the significance of net art in art history. As new media art that is defined as a 'process' rather than a complete object, net art is a digital art that requires functions such as aesthetic appropriation, dissemination, and mediation performed online, unlike physical presentations with high perfection in exhibition halls. It is accompanied by a new social and cultural curatorial. This appearance requires both artists and curators to reorganize the strategy that net art curating in technoculture should have. Therefore, this paper attempts to question the creative strategies of net art in the wave of globalization in the 21st century, and to examine the artistic meaning and critical value of the experimental net art curatorial method that emerged through the realm of new technology and media. For this purpose, this paper demonstrated key examples of net art works and exhibition projects that started with Fluxus in the 1960s and are spreading all over the world in the 2000s.

The aim of this study is to verify the relationships of factors affecting nursing performance of clinical nurses focused on positive affective events. The subjects of this study were 275 clinical nurses from secondary and tertiary general hospitals. Data collection was conducted for two months from May 2021 through an online survey through snowball sampling. Data analyzed was using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The variables affecting job satisfaction included direct effect of positive affective events (β=.65, p<.001), and direct effect of positive affectivity (β=.10, p=.038). Job satisfaction (β=.47, p<.001) had statistically significant direct effects on nursing performance. Positive affective events (β=.32, p=.003) and positive affectivity (β=.05, p=.039) had statistically significant indirect effects on nursing performance. These variables explained for 22% of nursing performance. However, emotional labor had no significant effect on job satisfaction and nursing performance. The results indicate that positive affective events and positive affectivity result in high degree of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction would increase the level of nursing performance. Therefore, in order to improve nursing performance, it is necessary to provide educational opportunities and interventions that can promote positive work environment and positive affectivity.

As the business-to-customer (B2C) online market expands after the COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics industry has been constructing automated warehouses to handle multi-product, low-volume logistics. When constructing a logistics automation warehouse, it is crucial to validate that the facility's performance and operational logic are designed to meet the required throughput of the automated warehouse from the system design phase. This study proposes simulation-based validation and optimal alternatives for an H logistics automation warehouse in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. Firstly, we focused on the box supply and packing processes, which are related to the release process, among the entire logistic processes. Then, we analyzed the potential bottlenecks in the target process and designed and implemented a discrete-event simulation model based on the analysis results. The simulation experiments showed that the facility parameters and operational logic identified in the system design phase did not satisfy the performance requirements of the entire automated warehouse. Additional experiments were conducted to suggest alternatives to meet the system performance requirements by changing the facility parameters and operational logic. We expect that the proposed study will be utilized in the future, not only in the system design phase but also in the system construction phase, for verification purposes to ensure that the construction proceeds according to the design.

This study aimed to develop educational material on the proper use of plant-based milk alternatives in the form of a card news, based on a focus group interview(FGI) with adult consumers. The FGI participants were individuals who had directly purchased cow's milk, soy milk, or other plant-based milk alternatives within the past three months and consumed them at least once a month. The study consisted of 17 adults between the ages of 19 and 63 years who met these criteria(9 males and 8 females). It was identified what participants were curious about, interested in, and needed information regarding the proper use of plant-based milk alternatives through FGI. A 10-page card news was developed that was highly usable, taking into account the FGI results and the latest literature. In conclusion, this study developed a card news aimed at promoting the proper use of plant-based milk alternatives, which can be easily disseminated online in line with the trends in food consumption and digitization. The results of this study suggest that the continuous development and distribution of educational materials that reflect food consumption trends and maximize their usability should be provided for dietary life education, such as school subjects or out-of-school programs.

In this article, potential problems in the exchanges and collaboration of South and North Korean performance programs were reviewed focusing on the articles related to performances in the North Korean copyright law. In the North Korean copyright law, there were significant differences from the ordinary rules in the international society or lack of the rules. They are the problems on the bases and principles of North Korean copyright law, unacceptance of copyrightable works against their political system, equal and mutual benefit on the copyright of the South Korean copyrightable works, neighboring copyright and economic right, unlimited protection for moral right, unpreparedness of right protection for online copyrightable works, and so on. On the other hand, the available performance programs to exchange mutually between South and North in the short run include national operas, dramas, musicals, festival events, and so on. However, legal and systematic improvement plans are required on the different copyright rules between South and North to facilitate the exchanges and cooperation. Externally, collaborations are required in the international copyright stage such as collaborative agreements on various international copyright usages, and we should consider the global entrance of performance programs that contain national sentiment and develop mutual trusts through these.
