The finite element method and statistics of the convergence measurement are useful method of the stability analysis of the tunnel adjacent to the pier. It is the purpose of the this case study to certificate of validity of the application of those methods. The safety of the pilot tunnel method and LW pre-grouting has been evaluated from the FEM analysis. The three-dimensional finite element method is carried out for the decision of the level of stress redistribution at the two-dimensional numerical analysis. An analysis of the convergence is carried out by the estimation of preceding convergence at tunnel excavation. F-examination is applied for this estimation. As results of that analysis, The F-value is from 10.81 to 158.74 and the coefficient of determination is from 0.82 to 0.99. An analysis of convergence is carried out by using regression analysis. Consequently, it is shown that the convergence can be modeled as following function C(t)=a[1-exp(-bt)].

The purpose of this study is to find out whether changed interactions due to reformatting has a significant effect on the play attribute of children's play from an instrumental point of view. Based on the study of Roser Caillois theory of play (Agon, Mimicry, Area, Ilinx) and previous studies, a questionnaire was written and experimental design was carried out through brick stack which are most preferred in the whole development of children. Brick stack were selected from physical and electronic spaces and the survey was conducted with children's experiences by dividing into experimental group and comparative group. Correlation and T-test results, the brick stack by reformating showed significant difference in the play attributes (Agon, Mimicry, Area, Ilinx) of Rose Caillois and we found that the effectiveness of play is doubled in the electronic space. Play properties evenly distributed in electronic space brick stacking suggest that pleasure and fun can double.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of flipped learning in ASP(after school program) on self-directed learning ability and learning motivation. This study used a one group pre test-post test design. Data derived from 35 person nursing students enrolled in after-school program between 17 December 2018 and 18 January 2019 at D university. The learner's self-directed learning ability increased, statistically differed differences(t=-4.04, p<.001) but, motivation increased there were no statistically significant differences(t=-1.08, p=.288). The average of ASP satisfaction scores for the program was 3.49 ± 0.93. Therefore, it is suggested that educators and schools organize their flipped learning methods in the curriculum to improve learners' self-directed learning ability.

This study was conducted before and after the non-equivalent control group to determine the effects of nursing students' self-observation using smartphone videos and feedback self-practice using QR-Code on core nursing skill performance ability, performance confidence, and self-efficacy. This is a quasi-experimental study using this design. The subjects of the study were 105 second-year nursing students at U University in G City, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Fisher's exact test, -test, and paired t-test using SPSS 23.0 program. As a result of the study, indwelling catheterization performance significantly increased (t=8.532, p<.001), but intramuscular injection performance was not statistically significant (t=1.818, p=.077). Confidence in performing indwelling catheterization (t=5.099, p<.001) and confidence in performing intramuscular injections (t=5.473, p<.001) increased statistically significantly, and self-efficacy (t=4.332, p<.001) increased. Significantly improved. Accordingly, self-observation using smartphone videos and feedback self-practice using QR-code are more effective for core nursing skill items with high difficulty, and provide objective evidence that self-practice training methods are effective in improving confidence in performing core nursing skills and self-efficacy. In addition, we propose a repeated study that includes various levels of difficulty for the 20 core nursing skills.

Purpose: Use of inappropriate statistical methods may lead to incorrect conclusions and a waste of valuable resources. The goal of this study was to assess the frequency and the types of several common statistical errors in the published articles of the Journal of the Korean Academy of Prosthodontics (JKAP) for a 5-year period. Materials and methods: Of 336 articles in the JKAP published from 2006 to 2010, 255 articles using statistics were reviewed and classified by statistical method and year. The frequency and types of the statistical methods were examined, and the statistical errors were evaluated by the appropriateness of the experimental design, assumption check, independent outcomes, proper sample size and suitable use of statistical method. Statistical guidelines were completed based on the appropriateness. Results: Of the 255 articles using statistics, 193 articles (75.9%) used inferential statistics and 153 articles used SPSS statistical software (60.0%). Of the articles using inferential statistics, the three most frequently used statistical methods were ANOVA (41.5%), t-test (20.0%), and the nonparametric method (16.9%). The average rate of statistical errors was 61.2 percent, similar to the rate reported by several studies completed for the medical journal. Conclusion: After the whole analysis of the difference among the groups, post-hoc tests for the pairwise comparisons are required. The optimal sample size calculation is an essential part of this study protocol. To minimize the occurrence of statistical errors, statistical guidelines were developed according to each statistical test procedure and will contribute to the academic improvement in the JKAP.

As environmental sustainability becomes a key consideration in policy-making, more responsible consumption and utilization in daily life concern both health and quality of life. To address inequities in health in relation to environments, waste management has taken more progressive ways, and one of them is biomass-to-energy conversion that utilizes energy recovery from food waste. By extension, a food waste zero-emission system using fermentation and extinction technology gains much attention, so that this study is designed to examine residents' attitudes toward recycling food waste produced at home and toward food waste zero-emission system. Utilizing a survey questionnaire, this research collected data from 400 individual units of multifamily housing estates nationwide, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicate that food waste generated at home was highly water-contained and produced in the stage of food preparation before cooking while respondents viewed that food waste collection and treatment needed to be improved. It's noted that respondents strongly supported the use of food waste as a energy source and would have the use of the food waste zero-emission system built in kitchen sink. Regression analysis showed that educational attainment of housewives, cooking style, and planning food purchase were statistically significant factors in the attitude of the responded residents toward recycling food waste while none of the factors were in the attitude toward the food waste zero-emission system.
