This study investigates the relationships among academic burnout, peer support, optimism, and mental health in elementary school students, with a focus on the mechanisms through which academic burnout impacts mental health. Data were collected from 588 fourth- to sixth-grade students attending two elementary schools in the capital area. Participants’ levels of academic burnout, peer support, optimism, and mental health including depression and anxiety were assessed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data, and bootstrapping techniques were used to examine the mediating roles of peer support and optimism. The findings reveal that academic burnout directly affects mental health, leading to increased levels of depression and anxiety. Additionally, academic burnout exerts indirect effects on mental health through optimism, with two key pathways identified: ‘Academic Burnout → Optimism → Mental Health’ and ‘Academic Burnout → Peer Support → Optimism → Mental Health.’ This study emphasizes the importance of addressing both personal factors, such as optimism, and social dynamics, such as peer support, in developing interventions aimed at promoting the mental well-being of elementary school students.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of the intention to stay based on the grit and job involvement of nurses of the MZ generation in general hospitals. Methods: The data collection period for this study was from August to November 2024. Data was collected from a total of 191 MZ generation nurses who have worked for more than 6 months at a general hospital. The subjects were 191 nurses who understood the purpose of this study and agreed to participate in it. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between the participants' level of grit with job involvement (r=.724, p<.001) and the intention to stay (r=.588, p<.001). As a result of analyzing the factors affecting the intention to stay of MZ generation nurses, the level of grit (β=.242, p=.002) and job involvement (β=.472, p<.001) were found to have an effect, and the overall explanatory power was 45.2%. Conclusion: This study confirmed that to enhance the grit of MZ generation nurses, it is essential to implement measures that increase job involvement and the intention to stay, as these factors ensure compliance with organizational goals and retention within the organization.

The Korean Academy of Community Health Nursing founded in 1971, is an academic research organization with approximately 710 nursing scholars. Topic analysis was applied using the title of the paper in the Research in Community and Public Health Nursing(RCPHN). Topic analysis was applied topic analysis using 294 paper titles published from 2017 to 2022 in the RCPHN published by the academic society. To facilitate interpretation, topic-specific association rules were applied to induce better interpretation. As a result of this analysis, 5 and 6 topics were selected as research topics before and during COVID-19, respectively. As a result of analyzing these topics, many topics related to 'Youth Online Survey' and 'Mediation Effect Analysis' appeared before Corona. during COVID-19 period, many topics related to ‘women’s health care’ and ‘psychological health care’ appeared. Compared to before COVID-19, the research subjects during COVID-19 expanded from health research targeting the elderly to include youth, women, and the elderly, and the overall community, and the research area expanded to include psychological health management that addresses depression and stress.

This study attempted to identify factors affecting the study crafting of nursing students. This study was a descriptive research study, and data were collected from 108 nursing students at a college from April 27 to June 10, 2024. The results of the study showed that the degree of study crafting according to the general characteristics of nursing students showed statistically significant differences according to grade, major satisfaction, and college life satisfaction. Study crafting showed a positive correlation with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (r=.54, p<.001) and goal orientation (r=.47, p<.001). The factors influencing the study crafting of nursing students were intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (β=.32, p=.001), College life satisfaction (β=32, p<001), and goal orientation (β=.21, p=.029), in that order, and these variables explained 40.0% of the subjects' study crafting. Based on this study, in order to improve the academic crafting of nursing students, it is important to increase the level of motivation for their studies, and it is necessary to develop and apply management plans that can increase satisfaction with college life through human resource exchange within the college and pursue goal orientation according to learner characteristics.

The development of ICT has reduced poverty in both developed and developing countries for several decades. Indonesia has consistently sought to achieve economic growth and alleviate poverty through ongoing investment in ICT and the telecommunication infrastructure, which accelerates digital transformation. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the influence of ICT access on poverty reduction in Indonesia, using data from 1984 to 2023. The empirical results of this study demonstrate that ICT access has played a critical role in reducing the poverty rate in Indonesia. First, ICT access, proxied by mobile cellular subscriptions, has a positive and significant effect on poverty reduction. Second, an increase in GDP per capita plays a crucial role in alleviating the poverty rate as well. On the other hand, it turns out that financial development and the inflation rate have no positive effects on poverty reduction. Ultimately, the study provides clear evidence that ICT access and GDP per capita have a very significant impact on reducing the poverty rate in Indonesia. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that Indonesia needs to continue investing in infrastructure and implementing fiscal policies to reduce poverty in the future.

With the development of ICT technology, MZ organized crime syndicates are increasing their power through "cyber gambling" and increasing criminal profits through online illegal gambling sites. The type of illegal gambling site is mainly in the gambling industry, and the online betting ticket launch service was fully implemented on June 21, 2024. For this reason, the spread of illegal horse racing on the new platform is feared due to the operation of new racetracks, the spread of illegal horse racing, and the emergence of new illegal gambling sites that combine horse racing and similar industries. The following institutional countermeasures are presented. ① It is necessary to establish new regulations to prevent the spread of new racetracks. ② It is necessary to establish an integrated response system for the illegal gambling industry following the emergence of new illegal gambling sites. ③ In order to secure the expertise of the National gambling control commission, specialized personnel for each industry institution are dispatched and integrated operation is required.
