This study was attempted to analyze the actual condition of teachers' psychological well-being and to find the obstacles that affect psychological well-being and to find out the support measures to prevent them. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted on 2,609 primary and secondary school teachers working in 18 city and county office of education. The semi-structured questions for the reasoning and in-depth result deduction were used and the expert advisory conference was held. The results of this study are as follows. First, the psychological well-being of teachers was found to be average( 3.08). Second, psychological well-being showed significant difference in gender, marital status, teacher qualification, teaching career, and teacher classification. Third, the most influential factor on psychological well-being was the relationship with the surrounding people (students, parents, fellow teachers, managers) and job stress due to administrative work. Fourth, the support methods for teachers' psychological well-being required the reduction of unnecessary administrative work, strengthening character education of students and parents, legal measures for educational authority, abolition of teacher performance and teacher ability evaluation system, psychological healing leave system, development of psychological capacity, and enactment of the educational authority protection ordinance. Based on the above results, various support measures for the psychological well-being of teachers were suggested.

And then we surveyed students' expectations and requirements for translation classes. In addition, in order to understand the more diverse and objective current status, a second survey was also conducted on instructors and social demand. According to the problems in the current situation analysis and the requirements of students, this paper puts forward seven ways to improve Korean translation courses in Chinese universities

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the current situation and factors associated with emotional distress due to COVID-19 among people with physical disabilities living in the community, using a Social-Ecological Model.Methods: A secondary data analysis was performed using data from the 2020 National Survey of Disabled Persons. The study participants were 1,654 participants aged 19 years or older with physical disabilities. For data analysis, complex sample logistic regression was conducted to identify factors associated with emotional distress due to COVID-19 in people with physical disabilities.Results: The results showed that 55.7% of people with physical disabilities living in the community experienced emotional distress due to COVID-19. This emotional distress was influenced by various factors, including intrapersonal factors (activities of daily living, difficulty in getting information about COVID-19, difficulty in obtaining and using equipment related to COVID-19), interpersonal factors (satisfaction with the number of friends), and community/policy factor (support related to COVID-19 from national and local governments).Conclusion: It is recommended to develop tailored interventions to prevent mental health issues among people with physical disabilities by considering the factors related to their emotional distress in the event of future infectious disease disasters.

Purpose: This survey study aimed to investigate the current status, issues, and needs related to Clinical Endoscopy (CE), the official international journal of the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE). Methods: A 10-item survey was emailed to domestic KSGE members between May 1 and May 15, 2023. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: In total, 216 complete responses were analyzed. Most respondents (46.8%) read CEonce or twice monthly. The proportion of respondents who read the journal once or twice a year or did not read it at all was quite high, at 36.6%. The most informative article type was re-view articles (53%), and the least-read type was editorials (33%). Ninety-nine respondents (45.8%) stated that they did not want to submit their articles to CE because CE is not a Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) journal (38.4%). Eighty-nine respondents (41.2%) did not cite CE articles in their manuscripts. Furthermore, 41.2% of the respondents declined review invitations because they were too busy (73.0%). The two most common requests for CE were to increase the number of guidelines and review articles (38.0%) and to improve the journal quality (34.7%). Conclusion: Although CE is a representative journal of KSGE, the level of interest and concern for CE among society members was relatively low. Nonetheless, this survey offers valuable insights into the needs and current status of CE, paving the way for its further development. It is clear that more efforts and investments from the society and the editorial board are necessary.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the following overarching issues: the current status of research and publication ethics training conducted in Korean academic organizations and what needs to be done to reinforce research and publication ethics training. Methods: A survey with 12 items was examined in a pilot survey, followed by a main survey that was distributed to 2,487 academic organizations. A second survey, which contained six additional questions, was dispatched to the same subjects. The results of each survey were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, content analysis, and comparative analysis. Results: More than half of the academic organizations provided research and publication ethics training programs, with humanities and social sciences organizations giving more training than the others (χ 2 = 11.190, df = 2, P = 0.004). The results showed that research and publication ethics training was held mostly once and less than an hour per year, mainly in a lecture format. No significant difference was found in the training content among academic fields. The academic organizations preferred case-based discussion training methods and wanted expert instructors who could give tailored training with examples. Conclusion: A systematic training program that can develop ethics instructors tailored to specific academic fields and financial support from academic organizations can help scholarly editors resolve the apparent gap between the real and the ideal in ethics training, and ultimately to achieve the competency needed to train their own experts.

Purpose: To evaluate the level of annual eye examination (AEE) and identify the associated factors among people with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A secondary data analysis was conducted using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016e2018). A total of 1,465 people with DM (726 men and 739 women) aged _40 years were included. The data were analyzed using a complex sample analysis considering a combined sampling weight of 3 years. Results: In total, 29.5% and 12.0% of men and 36.3% and 24.1% of women underwent AEE and EE at the time of diagnosis of DM, respectively. The AEE rate in men was significantly higher in those who were high school graduates and above (odds ratio [OR] = 1.98), current nonsmokers (OR = 1.82), had _10-year duration of DM (OR = 1.75), and use insulin (OR = 2.81), and with a normal body mass index (OR = 1.68). For women, the AEE rate was significantly higher in those aged 40e64 years (OR = 1.76) and with _10 years of DM (OR = 1.91). Conclusion: The AEE rate among people with DM is unsatisfactory and needs to be improved. Health education on the importance of AEE and the application of a reminder or alarm system should be designed to promote AEE to the high-risk population showing lower levels o

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate different aspects of job satisfaction (JS) among clinical research coordinators (CRCs) in South Korea. These aspects included the current status of and factors related to JS; the relationship between JS and the intention to stay; or the willingness to recommend the job to others. Methods: A total of 509 CRCs were enrolled in this secondary data analysis study. Data were composed of general characteristics (4 items), job-related characteristics (8 items), and JS-related characteristics (5 items). These were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results: Among the subjects, 65.2% were satisfied with their jobs. The mean JS score was 3.07 out of 5 points. Among the JS subscales, job pleasure was the highest (3.73 points) and promotion possibility was the lowest (2.02 points). As job satisfaction increased, the intention to stay and willingness to recommend the job to others significantly increased (both p<.001). Job satisfaction was statistically related to the type of employment (p=.001), public insurance support (p=.011), number of working hours per week (p=.008), and annual salary (p=.024). Conclusion: The CRCs’ JS has a positive effect on job continuity. To increase the JS of CRCs, organizational efforts to improve possibilities for promotion, adequacy of pay, and job security are required. Types of employment offering a guaranteed job until retirement age are highly recommended.

This study aimed to explore the status of Indonesian journals in the discipline of Islamic economics and finance. In the last two decades, the emergence of Islamic economic journals was striking. As of November 2019, the Science and Technology Index (SINTA) contained 60 journals on Islamic economics, banking and finance, accounting, management and business, and philanthropy. To explore these journals, a content analysis was conducted using data in the SINTA database. Most of the Islamic economics and finance journals were in SINTA level 4 (out of 6). Only 8 journals were ranked in SINTA level 2, and none were in SINTA level 1. Based on these results, additional efforts are needed to improve journal quality. Moreover, many journals have not been indexed in SINTA, which might have good quality. The author suggests that further efforts be made to include Islamic economics and finance journals in other abstracting and indexing databases, such as the Directory of Open Access Journals, Moraref, and Garuda.

This year marked the twentieth anniversary of the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE). The number of member journals has increased from 105 to 257 since its inception in 1996. In the same period, the number of journals listed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) has increased from zero to 35. The average journal impact factor (JIF) that was initially 0.13 has now increased by more than tenfold on average to 1.45 as of 2014. Many KAMJE journals that are not indexed in the SCIE are putting their best effort towards eventual inclusion. Following listing with SCIE, however, editors have turned their attention towards the JIF and have shown interest in early online publication as a means of improving the JIF. The current status of PubMed electronic publication ahead of print (EAP) was surveyed among KAMJE journals that are indexed in the SCIE, and the impact of this EAP on the improvement of the JIF was investigated. Based on the survey, more than half of the members have started or are planning on implementing EAP. However, these efforts were found to be still in their infancy, and they have been insufficient to serve as a basis for scientific analysis. Since the sample size is too small and the implementation period too short to statistically analyze the effects of early publication on the JIF, a case-by-case approach was taken. Based on case studies, it is difficult to draw conclusions yet about whether online early publication enhances the JIF.

Objective To describe the current status of medical care for victims of industrial disaster in Korea, and especially for representative diseases requiring rehabilitation, such as ischemic, hemorrhagic stroke, intervertebral disc disease, and spinal fracture. Method Data were extracted from the electronic data interchange database of the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service. Patients who had been approved as industrial disaster victims between January 1 and December 31, 2006 were included. This study covered 4 representative diagnoses: ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, intervertebral disc disease, and spinal fracture. We conducted an analysis of the length of in-patient and out-patient treatment, total length of treatment, medical cost according to types of disease, first admitted medical institute, age, sex, and the number of admissions from the approved time up to June 30, 2008. Results A total of 4,581 patients were included. There were 49, 373, 1,223, and 2,936 patients with ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, intervertebral disc disease, and spinal fracture, respectively. The total length of care tended to be longer in cases of neurologic disease. Positive correlations were observed between the total length of treatment and the type of first admitted medical institute in cases of ischemic stroke and spinal fracture. Medical cost showed an increasing trend in association with length of in-patient care. Conclusion Differences were observed in the total length of care and medical cost, depending on the type of disease. The number of admissions showed a correlation with the length of inpatient treatment. The length of inpatient treatment was the most important factor determining medical cost.

Purpose: This study was done to examine contemporary non-pharmacological interventions for vocally disruptive behavior (VDB) and to define directions for further research by reviewing related research studies. Methods:Analysis was done of 24 articles related to dementia and VDB in elders in residential facilities or long-term care settings, published between 1997 and 2010. Results: The theoretical literature outlines non-pharmacological interventions: behavioral modification and person-centered care for nursing home residents with VDB, and educational program and flexibility and support for nurses. Despite the researchers use of the different types of interventions available for individuals with dementia who present with VDB, such as behavioral therapy, caregivers training, and combination therapy, the intervention effects were generally modest. Conclusion: In the current studies, the limited efficacious management suggests most aspects surrounding VDB are insufficiently understood. Various interventions and staff training need further investigation to overcome the behavior and related suffering.

Korean native pigs (KNPs) have been one of the traditional livestock primarily raised in rural areas of Korea for centuries. KNPs have adapted to the climate and geography of the Korean Peninsula for a long time, exhibiting excellent adaptability even in challenging environments. For these reasons, the preservation and purification of KNPs are crucial in securing unique genetic resources. Therefore, this review covers the characteristics, production status, commercial value and potential breeding directions of KNPs. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go for the improvement of KNPs. It is crucial to acknowledge the current challenges, identify the issues, and dedicate efforts to the breed’s improvement. Each section of this comprehensive review will play an important role in integrating related research and data into the overall findings. In-depth discussions on the genetic diversity, productivity, genetic conservation, ecological roles, and sustainability of KNPs will be crucial components in the future of KNP business.

Indonesia is the fourth most highly populated country in the world. Every year, there are more than 1.5-million students enrolled into universities across Indonesia. This large number of students is a potential source of scientific publication, as all students are required to publish a paper before they take their final examination. To accommodate this publication demand, good-quality journals need to be established in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper will describe the current status of scientific journals in Indonesia and some other information related to Indonesian scientific journals. The data presented in this article were obtained from the websites of government institutions such as Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Ministry of Education and Culture, and Indonesian Scientific Journal Database. Currently, there are 5,900 scientific journals in Indonesia that are grouped into three classes, namely non-accredited journals (5,579 titles), accredited journals (342 titles), and international journals (16 titles). Most journals are published by universities, faculties, or departments. Other journals are published by research centers and scientific associations. In recent years, the number of journals indexed in Scopus has increased substantially, from only 2 journals before the year 2000 to 16 journals in 2013. In addition, the number of journals registered in the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) increased sharply from 3 titles in 2009 to 109 titles at the end of 2013. In the year 2012, the number of papers published in the abovementioned journals was 145,000, but only 1,314 papers were published internationally. This number is still very low, even when compared to some Southeast Asian countries. To improve the quality of journals and to increase the number of papers published, a high commitment from the government is required, particularly in terms of regulation formulation and funding provision.

Biometric authentication systems may suffer from decreasing recognition performance due to varying environmental conditions and sample ageing, which cause intra-class variability. Adaptive biometric authentication systems have been proposed to address these deficiencies by dynamically changing their sampling and recognition processes in response to changes in the operating environment. This paper provides the complete discussion on the design of an adaptive biometric authentication system through a systematic review of the existing literature to date. The review shows that further investigation is required to target mobile and/or wearable devices as well as to consider a continuous authentication methodology. In addition to this, the evaluation of adaptive biometric authentications with large-scale datasets is required to validate the feasibility of the system and its scalability in real-world with a comprehensive study of evaluation metrics.

The dissemination of evidence-based practices (EBPs) has made relatively slow progress over the past few decades. To understand and inform dissemination efforts in Korea, levels and correlates (“predictors”) of knowledge, attitudes and use of evidence-based practices among 300 graduate student, internship trainees, licensed psychology professionals, and professional school counselors in the Korean mental health field were examined. Results revealed that professional school counselors had the lowest levels of knowledge of empirically-supported treatments (ESTs) compared to all other groups. Professional school counselors also held the most negative views of both evidence-based assessments (EBAs) and ESTs. Across all groups, structured diagnostic interviews and ideographic assessment were used the least frequently. Significant correlates of EBP knowledge, attitudes and usage included practitioner age, years of clinical experience, hours of supervision per week, monthly assessment caseload, and monthly treatment caseload. Study limitations and implications are also discussed, including training efforts needed in Korea to increase the perception towards and usage of EBPs in both clinical and school settings.

Interest and investment in cultivated meat are increasing because of the realization that it can effectively supply sufficient food resources and reduce the use of livestock. Nevertheless, accurate information on the specific technologies used for cultivated meat production and the characteristics of cultivated meat is lacking. Authorization for the use of cultivated meat is already underway in the United States, Singapore, and Israel, and other major countries are also expected to approve cultivated meat as food once the details of the intricate process of producing cultivated meat, which encompasses stages such as cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and assembly, is thoroughly established. The development and standardization of mass production processes and safety evaluations must precede the industrialization and use of cultivated meat as food. However, the technology for the industrialization of cultivated meat is still in its nascent stage, and the mass production process has not yet been established. The mass production process of cultivated meat may not be easy to disclose because it is related to the interests of several companies or research teams. However, the overall research flow shows that equipment development for mass production and cell acquisition, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as for three-dimensional production supports and bioreactors have not yet been completed. Therefore, additional research on the mass production process and safety of cultivated meat is essential. The consumer’s trust in the cultivated meat products and production technologies recently disclosed by some companies should also be analyzed and considered for guiding future developments in this industry. Furthermore, close monitoring by academia and the government will be necessary to identify fraud in the cultivated meat industry.

Land creep, characterized by the slow downslope movement of an entire soil mass due to the presence of clay layers within bedrock or the influence of groundwater, is a distinct type of sediment-related disasters in Korea. It differs significantly in triggering mechanisms and movements from shallow landslides or debris flows. Although the land creep has historically been considered a rare in Korea with only 36 officially reported sites prior to 2017, it gained national attention following the observation of creeping monitored by sensors during the Pohang earthquake event in 2017. In response, the Korea Forest Service conducted a nationwide analysis in 2018, identifying a total of 189,585 potentially susceptible sites. Since 2019, field investigations have been conducted at approximately 2,000 sites annually. As of 2024, a cumulative total of 12,311 sites have been surveyed, with 241 sites (approximately 2% of those investigated) ultimately designated as land creep risk areas. These areas commonly exhibited the following morphological and geological characteristics: sedimentary parent rock, moderately weathered to weathered bedrock, slightly convex-curved or straight hilltop slopes, and slope angles ranging from 20 to 30 degrees. In 2025, research is underway to delineate the spatial extent of identified land creep risk areas and to classify their hazard levels. Moving forward, the development of a rational management strategy will require continued field-based investigation to clarify the morphological and geological characteristics of land creep in Korea and to establish scientifically sound criteria for its identification and risk assessment.
