  • Water lubricated guide bearing was newly released and has been applied to actual hydro turbines with vertical shaft. As a result, they can have not only high bearing performance but environmental advantages in meeting the demand for reducing river pollution by oil leakage from oil lubricated guide bearing. The PTFE composite guide bearing was tested by experimental equipment operated under conditions similar to those of actual hydro turbines. Circumferential and axial tilting bearing segments help to improve the bearing performance and efficiency due to low friction loss in the bearing system. Furthermore, bearing cooling systems could be eliminated and maintenance periods could be extended, thus the initial investment and operating costs of the hydroelectric power plant are reduced.

Methods: The subjects were 360 hospital nurses in P city, K Province. Instruments were health belief developed by Walker, Sechrist & Pender (1987), self-efficacy by Sherer, Maddux & Mercandante(1982), and medical care utilization by Korean National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey(2006). The data were analyzed as descriptive statistics, Chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA using SPSS 11.5.

Use of outpatient clinic was significantly different depending on perceived susceptibility(F=2.463, p=.045). Nurses who consulted to doctor in other hospital had higher perceived severity(F=2.759, p=.028). Nurses who used complementary medicine had higher perceived barrier(F=2.278, p=.047). The score of self-efficacy was significantly different in medical care service frequency (F=3.030, p=.018) and to whom their health problems consulted(F=3.092, p=.010).

  • In the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution of the latest, the development of the technique in the software field decides the success or failure of a country. With the trend of it, each country makes a countless effort on the education of software. This study reconstructed a questionnaire of the type of personality and conducted a research applied to learners with the help of professionals. I observed the attitude of learners during the programming class and the influence of it on the learning ability of self-oriented learning and learning motivation. As a result of it, there came up with a significant difference (at the side of self-oriented studying and the motivation of studying) depending on the type of personality of learners. Therefore, we can look forward to increasing the effects of self-oriented learning and self motivation by applying to the merits of each type of personality.

  • Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the effects of blended learning on learning satisfaction in nursing students. Methods : This study was conducted with 160 current nursing students in the department of nursing at K university located in city B. All students included in the study understood the purpose of the study and provided informed consent to participate. Data were collected between May 3 and July 9, 2021 and analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0. The frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were created, and t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffé test for post hoc analysis were performed. Correlations were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The factors influencing learning satisfaction were analyzed using multiple regression. Results : Significant differences were observed for academic stress according to the online classes environmental satisfaction (F=4.10, p=.001), online classes experience (t=4.11, p=.001) and self-directed learning ability according to the grade (F=4.10, p=.001), online classes environmental satisfaction (t=4.11, p=.001). The academic stress of nursing students who experienced blended learning was significantly negatively correlated with self-directed learning ability (r=-.480, p<.001), and learning satisfaction (r=-.236, p<.001). self-directed learning ability showed a significant positive correlation with learning satisfaction (r=.524, p<.001). The regression model for the factors affecting the learning satisfaction of the subjects was statistically significant (F= 3.027, p<.001). The major influential factors of learning satisfaction were grade (𝛽=.154, p=.013), satisfaction with school life (𝛽=.168, p=.032), and satisfaction with non-contact learning environment (𝛽=-.141, p=.028). The explanatory power was 28 %. Conclusion : These results indicate that it is necessary to reduce academic stress and increase self-directed learning ability to enhance learning satisfaction in nursing students through blended learning. In addition, the development and operation of a tailored intervention program is required to help improve learning satisfaction.
