Purpose - This study examines whether internal control has an effect on stock price informativeness about future earnings. High quality internal control provides continuous assurance for the quality of financial reports, and these future earnings-related information is accurately reflected in the current stock price. Design/methodology/approach - This study collected 12,862 data from 2006 to 2021 in China to make an empirical analysis using the future earnings response coefficient (FERC) and the multiple regression analysis were hired in order to analyze the data. Findings - We find that internal control strengthens the association between current returns and future earnings, indicating that more information about future earnings is reflected in current stock prices. This positive effect exists in both the main board market and the growth enterprise market of China's stock market, especially in the main board market after the implementation of the internal control policy. In addition, we find that the positive effect is weaker for firms that report internal control deficiencies or receives non unqualified internal control audit opinions. The results using earnings persistence yield similar findings, further supporting the results based on the FERC model. Research Implications or Originality - Our tests provide strong evidence that the quality of internal control affects FERC in China stock market.

Stream water qualities have been predicted in the year 2002 and 2014 through providing the Hwangguji Stream Rectification Plan. However, the reliability of result for predicted water quality was relatively lower by applying conventional values of the parameters in model. In this study deoxygenation coefficients between Sema bridge(HGJ2) and Sujik bridge(HGJ3) have been evaluated based on the observed data of water quality and travelling time to compare with the applied value of coefficients in predicting water quality model. The values of deoxygenation coefficient $0.078day^{-1}{\sim}0.748day^{-1}$ for normal period and $0.053day^{-1}{\sim}0.505day^{-1}$ for drought period have been calculated based of observed data between Sema bridge and Sujik bridge. The values of coefficients $0.02day^{-1}{\sim}3.4day^{-1}$ have been applied in predicting water quality model in the year 2002 and $0.043day^{-1}$ 2014. Thus, the simulated results of stream water quality were better than the observed data in 2002, and worse in 2014. It has shown that values of deoxygenation coefficient should be properly estimated based on observed data to predict proper stream water quality by model.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the seasonal characteristics of water quality using long-term water quality monitoring data. Seasonal characteristics of water quality were analyzed using monitoring data from 34 tributaries where long-term monitoring was performed in the Nakdong River system, and average data analysis of water quality, coefficient of variation analysis, and trend analysis were performed for seasonal analysis. For seasonal analysis, average data analysis of water quality, coefficient of variation analysis, and trend analysis were performed. As a result of the evaluation of the coefficient of variation, tributaries were larger than main streams, and BOD, T-P, and TOC were larger in autumn and T-N were larger in spring. Trend analysis was analyzed using Mann-Kendall and Sen's Slope. BOD, T-N, and T-P tended to decrease, but TOC had a lot to increase. Through this study, it was possible to evaluate the availability of long-term water quality monitoring data and analyze seasonal characteristics, and to analyze the stabilization period of water quality and changes in pollutant sources for watershed management.

In this study, condensation heat transfer tests were conducted in flat aluminum multi-channel tubes using R-22. Two internal geometries were tested ; one with smooth inner surface and the other with micro-fins. Data are presented for the followin~ range of variables ; vapor quality($0.1{\sim}0.9$), mass flux($200{\sim}600kg/m^2s$) and heat flux($5{\sim}15kW/m^2$). The micro-fin tube showed higher heat transfer coefficients compared with those of the smooth tube. The difference increased as the vapor quality increased. Surface tension force acting on the micro-fin surface at the high vapor quality is believed to be responsible. Different from the trends of the smooth tube, where the heat transfer coefficient increased as the mass flux increased, the heat transfer coefficient of the micro-fin tube was independent of the mass flux at high vapor quality, which implies that the surface tension effect on the fin overwhelms the vapor shear effect at the high vapor quality. Present data(except those at low mass flux and high quality) were well correlated by equivalent Reynolds number, Existing correlations overpredicted the present data at high mass flux.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify the factors influencing service quality in nursing homes, and to develop an evaluation instrument for service quality. Methods: A three-phase process was employed for the study. 1) The important factors to evaluate the service quality in nursing homes were identified through a literature review, panel discussion and focus group interview, 2) the evaluation instrument was developed, and 3) validity and reliability of the study instrument were tested by factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ and Cohen's Kappa. Results: Factor analysis showed that the factors influencing service quality in nursing homes were healthcare, diet/assistance, therapy, environment and staff. To improve objectivity of the instrument, quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation approaches were adopted. The study instrument was developed with 30 items and showed acceptable construct validity. The criterion-related validity was a Pearson correlation coefficient of .85 in 151 care facilities. The internal consistency was Cronbach's ${\alpha}$=.95. Conclusion: The instrument has acceptable validity and a high degree of reliability. Staff in nursing homes can continuously improve and manage their services using the results of the evaluation instrument.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life of overweight & obese women using SF-36 Methods We studied 244 patients visiting Gangdong Kyung Hee University Hospital from 1st April 2011 to 30th November 2011. The subjects were categorized in two groups, normal group(n=158) and overweight & obesity group(n=86). We studied the difference of SF-36 scores between two groups by independent samples t-test and correlation between anthropometry and SF-36 scores by Pearson's correlation coefficient test using SPSS for windows(version 13.0). Results Overweight & obesity group significantly showed lower quality of life in the domains of physical functioning, bodily pain, and social functioning than normal group. Some of body weight, fat mass, body mass index, percent body fat, fat distribution and quality of life in the domains of physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, social functioning, role-emotional significantly showed negative correlation coefficient. Conclusions The results suggest that overweight and obese women tend to show lower quality of life.
