Rapid Quantitative Simultaneous Determination of Vitamin A and Vitamin
D in a Skin Ointment Pharmaceutical Formulation Based on Net Analyte
Signal and Partial Least Squares using the UV Spectrophotometric
Method
Authors: Hamedfam Maryam , Sohrabi Mahmoud Reza , Davallo Mehran
Published: January 2023

Objective:

The aim of this study was to propose an easy, fast, and precise method, which can be satisfactorily applied to the simultaneous determination of the drugs in pharmaceutical dosage forms instead of the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.

Methods:

Complicated and costly instruments, as well as spending a lot of time for analysis are the limitations of the chromatography method. Hence, UV spectrophotometric technique based on net analyte signal (NAS) and partial least squares (PLS) was proposed and validated for the simultaneous determination of vitamin A and vitamin D in binary mixtures and commercial skin ointment. The chromatographic technique was implemented to compare with the proposed approach for the simultaneous analysis of drugs.

Results:

The NAS method was able to determine vitamin A and vitamin D in the concentration range of 1–7 and 2-13 μg mL-1 at λmax=323 and λmax=261, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) related to the NAS method were found to be 0.092, 0.053 μg/mL and 0.214, 0.170 μg/mL for vitamin A and vitamin D, respectively. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the test series was 0.0607 and 0.0547 for vitamins A and D, respectively. Recoveries by the PLS method were found in the range of 99.98%-100.49% and 99.57%-100.88% for vitamins A and D, respectively. The results obtained from the NAS and PLS procedures were statistically compared with the reference method (HPLC) via analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, where no significant difference was observed.

Conclusion:

The spectrophotometry along with NAS and PLS methods are proper, rapid, and economic for the determination of pharmaceutical components in quality control laboratories.
In silico Study on the Binding Interactions of SSTA and 18F-SSTA Towards Somatostatin Receptor Subtype 2
Authors: Pérez David J. , Razo-Hernández Rodrigo S. , Ávila-Rodríguez Miguel A.
Published: January 2023

Background:

Somatostatin analogs (SSTAs) are versatile drugs that target a group of proteins known as somatostatin receptors. SSTAs are used for the treatment and PET-molecular imaging of Neuro Endocrine Tumors (NET), for they are labeled with the radionuclide 18F, a positron emitter radionuclide.

Objective:

The aim of this work was to theoretically study the binding interactions of SSTA labeled with 18F (half-life of 109.7 min) and somatostatin receptor subtype 2. As the labeling of SSTA with 18F required the use of a prosthetic group, a hydrophilicity enhancer, and a linker, the influence of these traits on the interactions of 18F-SSTA with the SSTR-2 binding site was studied.

Methods:

The binding modes of 18F-labeled analogues with SSTR-2 were studied by using protein homology modelling, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, and molecular docking calculations, by means of three docking software: MVD, MOE, and VINA.

Results:

The results showed the main role of Asp122, Asn276, Phe272 and Phe294 from the SSTR-2 binding site, which form interactions with residues Lys, Trp, Tyr, and Thr from 18F-labeled somatostatin analogues.

Conclusion:

The interaction between Lys (from 18F-SSTA) and Asp122 (from SSTR-2) was identified as the most energetic and considered the one that drives the binding between 18F-SSTA and SSTR-2 (the anchor interaction). Despite the presence of prosthetic groups, linkers, and hydrophilicity enhancers, all the studied 18F-SSTA formed the anchor interaction. The trend in the results agreed with the experimental reports, identifying the main role of Asp122 in the binding of somatostatin-14 to SSTR-2.
Owning the Apparatus: Edith Wharton, Racine, and the Fetishization of Pre-Revolutionary France
Authors: Liming Sheila
Published: January 2023

This essay explores the best-selling American author Edith Wharton’s status as a bibliophile and book collector. It draws comparisons between her tastes as a collector and those of some of her neighbors, especially those residing in the Berkshires area of western Massachusetts around 1900. It focuses, in particular, on a rare, first-edition copy of the play Esther (1689), by Jean Racine; Wharton owned a copy of this book and so did her neighbors, the Choate family. As such, the essay launches an investigation into the value that Racine held as an author for members of Wharton’s milieu in fin-de-siècle America, exposing a set of class-specific beliefs that appear to counter the progressivist and democratic ideologies of that era. It reads Wharton’s and her associates’ interests in Racine as indicative of class-specific ideas regarding cultural inheritance. It argues that Wharton and the Choates, in collecting rare editions of Racine, were doing more than paying homage to literary tradition or enhancing their cultural capital; they were mounting tacit claims for their particular positions within a given social order, inspired in part by romantic visions of pre-revolutionary France.
The Pronominal Grammar of Ontological Anti-Blackness: Institutionality and Authority in Afropessimism and The Undercommons
Authors: Hughes Harriet S.
Published: January 2023

Since the emergence of Afro-pessimism in the early 2000s, the focus of much critical conversation in and around the discourse has been on the viability of its ontological claims as to the non-‘Human’ status of blackness. Departing from these essential debates, this article turns rather to the generic qualities of Afro-pessimism, to suggest that the discourse’s formal choices reveal discrepancies in the ontological theses being argued. In comparing two of the discourse’s key texts, Frank Wilderson’s memoir, Afropessimism (2021) and Stefano Harney and Fred Moten’s The Undercommons (2013), I illustrate how Wilderson’s memoir performs the thesis of ontological anti-blackness through the failures of its first-person singular narration; failures expressive of the impossibility of the black ‘object’ claiming access to the memoir’s generic institutions of authorship and authority. By contrast, reading Harney and Moten’s critique of the university through the genre of the manifesto shows their depersonalized first-person plural to adopt an appositional and ‘fugitive’ relation to the totalizing political authority entailed in the genre. Whereas the failures of Wilderson’s text enact, then, a kind of refusal to participate in the institutions of authority enshrined in memoir’s first-person singular, Harney and Moten’s utopian ‘we’ ‘refuse[s] to refuse’. Their ‘undercommons’ critique addresses, at once, the Enlightenment-born institution of the university, and related institutions of genre, representation, and, ultimately, subjectification. Through their appositional orientation to the manifesto, Moten and Harney propose an Afro-pessimist thesis formally and substantively different to Wilderson’s—one arguably less predicated on failure.

Design Considerations for an Exergame-Based Training Intervention for Older Adults With Mild Neurocognitive Disorder: Qualitative Study Including Focus Groups With Experts and Health Care Professionals and Individual Semistructured In-depth Patient Interviews
Authors: Manser Patrick , Adcock-Omlin Manuela , de Bruin Eling D
Published: January 2023

Background

Exergames have attracted growing interest in the prevention and treatment of neurocognitive disorders. The most effective exergame and training components (ie, exercise and training variables such as frequency, intensity, duration, or volume of training and type and content of specific exergame scenarios) however remain to be established for older adults with mild neurocognitive disorders (mNCDs). Regarding the design and development of novel exergame-based training concepts, it seems of crucial importance to explicitly include the intended users’ perspective by adopting an interactive and participatory design that includes end users throughout different iterative cycles of development.

Objective

This study aimed to determine the capabilities, treatment preferences, and motivators for the training of older adults with mNCD and the perspectives of individuals on training goals and settings and requirements for exergame and training components.

Methods

A qualitative study including expert focus groups and individual semistructured in-depth patient interviews was conducted. Data were transcribed to a written format to perform qualitative content analysis using QCAmap software.

Results

In total, 10 experts and health care professionals (80% females) and 8 older adults with mNCD (38% females; mean age 82.4, SD 6.2 years) were recruited until data saturation was observed.

Conclusions

The psychosocial consequences of patients’ self-perceived cognitive deterioration might be more burdensome than the cognitive changes themselves. Older adults with mNCD prefer integrative forms of training (such as exergaming) and are primarily motivated by enjoyment or fun in exercising and the effectiveness of the training. Putting the synthesized perspectives of training goals, settings, and requirements for exergames and training components into context, our considerations point to opportunities for improvement in research and rehabilitation, either by adapting existing exergames to patients with mNCDs or by developing novel exergames and exergame-based training concepts specifically tailored to meet patient requirements and needs.
The Comparison of Sun Protection Factor 30 Persistence Between Inorganic and Organic Sunscreen in Swimmers: Double-blind Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Rachmani Karin , Yusharyahya Shannaz Nadia , Sampurna Adhimukti , Ranakusuma Respati W , Widaty Sandra
Published: January 2023

Background

Long-term sun exposure is one of the risks faced by outdoor swimmers and can cause sunburn. Using sunscreen is one way to prevent sunburn; however, physical activity can trigger sweat, friction, and water washing that can interfere with sunscreen efficacy and decrease its sun protection factor (SPF). Sunscreens are classified into inorganic and organic based on their filter. Organic sunscreen has a better bond to the skin than inorganic sunscreen, which forms a barrier above the skin layer that makes removing it easier. Organic sunscreen lasts longer than inorganic sunscreen when used in physical activities, but it has a limited spectrum, is more photolabile, and is more allergenic.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the persistency of SPF 30 between inorganic and organic sunscreens on the back area after 1.5 hours of swimming.

Methods

This study is a randomized, split-body, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the persistency of SPF 30 of the inorganic versus organic sunscreens in swimmers. Randomization was done to allocate the participants into treatment groups. Each participant received inorganic and organic sunscreen treatments applied to the back area. The research participants were swimmers from the Cikini swimming pool and Bina Taruna swimming pool, both in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Results

A total of 22 swimmers were enrolled in this study. The analysis showed no significant difference between the SPF of the two sunscreens before swimming (P=.22). After swimming, the SPF levels of both sunscreens decreased: the inorganic sunscreen decreased from a median of 27 (range 23-47) to 12.3 (range 8-19), and the organic sunscreen decreased from a median of 30 (range 24-47) to 9.9 (range 6-19), which was statistically significant (P<.001). When comparing the SPF of inorganic and organic sunscreens after swimming, there was a statistically significant difference in the decrease in SPF levels between the two groups (P=.02), which indicated a better SPF persistence for inorganic sunscreens when compared to organic sunscreens.

Conclusions

There was a decrease in the SPF levels of inorganic and organic sunscreens after 1.5 hours of swimming, with better persistence in inorganic sunscreens compared to organic sunscreens.

A Comprehensive Analysis of COVID-19 Vaccine Discourse by Vaccine Brand on Twitter in Korea: Topic and Sentiment Analysis
Authors: Park Susan , Suh Young-Kyoon
Published: January 2023

Background

 The unprecedented speed of COVID-19 vaccine development and approval has raised public concern about its safety. However, studies on public discourses and opinions on social media focusing on adverse events (AEs) related to COVID-19 vaccine are rare.

Objective

 This study aimed to analyze Korean tweets about COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Janssen, and Novavax) after the vaccine rollout, explore the topics and sentiments of tweets regarding COVID-19 vaccines, and examine their changes over time. We also analyzed topics and sentiments focused on AEs related to vaccination using only tweets with terms about AEs.

Methods

 We devised a sophisticated methodology consisting of 5 steps: keyword search on Twitter, data collection, data preprocessing, data analysis, and result visualization. We used the Twitter Representational State Transfer application programming interface for data collection. A total of 1,659,158 tweets were collected from February 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. Finally, 165,984 data points were analyzed after excluding retweets, news, official announcements, advertisements, duplicates, and tweets with <2 words. We applied a variety of preprocessing techniques that are suitable for the Korean language. We ran a suite of analyses using various Python packages, such as latent Dirichlet allocation, hierarchical latent Dirichlet allocation, and sentiment analysis.

Results

 The topics related to COVID-19 vaccines have a very large spectrum, including vaccine-related AEs, emotional reactions to vaccination, vaccine development and supply, and government vaccination policies. Among them, the top major topic was AEs related to COVID-19 vaccination. The AEs ranged from the adverse reactions listed in the safety profile (eg, myalgia, fever, fatigue, injection site pain, myocarditis or pericarditis, and thrombosis) to unlisted reactions (eg, irregular menstruation, changes in appetite and sleep, leukemia, and deaths). Our results showed a notable difference in the topics for each vaccine brand. The topics pertaining to the Pfizer vaccine mainly mentioned AEs. Negative public opinion has prevailed since the early stages of vaccination. In the sentiment analysis based on vaccine brand, the topics related to the Pfizer vaccine expressed the strongest negative sentiment.

Conclusions

 Considering the discrepancy between academic evidence and public opinions related to COVID-19 vaccination, the government should provide accurate information and education. Furthermore, our study suggests the need for management to correct the misinformation related to vaccine-related AEs, especially those affecting negative sentiments. This study provides valuable insights into the public discourses and opinions regarding COVID-19 vaccination.
MAMA LOVE: Development and Initial Evaluation of A Web-Based Intervention to Address Risk Factors for Maternal Morbidity and Mortality (Preprint)
Authors: Amore Alexis Dunn , Britt Abby , Arconada Alvarez Santiago Jose , Greenleaf Morgan
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Maternal mortality in the United States is a public health crisis and national emergency. Missed or delayed recognition of preventable life-threatening symptoms and untimely treatment of preventable high-risk medical conditions have been cited as key contributors to the nation’s worsening mortality rates. The development of effective strategies are urgently needed to address this maternal health crisis, particularly among Black birthing populations. MAMA LOVE (Morbidity and Mortality Assessment: Lifting Outcomes Via Education) is a web-based platform that focuses on the identification of maternal morbidity and mortality risk factors.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this paper is to present the conceptualization, development, heuristics, and utility evaluation of the web-based maternal mortality risk assessment and educational tool, MAMA LOVE

METHODS

A user-centered design approach was used to gain feedback from clinical experts and potential end users to ensure that the tool would be effective among groups most at risk for maternal morbidity and mortality. A heuristic evaluation was conducted to evaluate useability and need within the current market. Algorithms describing key clinical, mental health, and social conditions were designed utilizing digital canvas software (Miro) and incorporated into the final wireframes of the revised prototype The completed version of MAMA LOVE was designed in Figma and built with the SurveyJS platform.

RESULTS

The creation of the MAMA LOVE tool followed 3 distinct phases. 1) The content development and creation of an initial prototype, 2) the feedback gathering and usability assessment of the prototype, and 3) the design, development, and testing of the final tool. The tool determines the corresponding course of action using the algorithm developed by the authors. 38 issues were found in the heuristic evaluation of the web tool's initial prototype.

CONCLUSIONS

Maternal morbidity and mortality is a public health crisis needing immediate effective interventions. In the current market, there are few digital resources available that focus specifically on the identification of dangerous symptoms and risk factors. MAMA LOVE is a tool that can address that need by increasing knowledge, providing resources, and providing information that can be shared with healthcare professionals.

CLINICALTRIAL
Factors Affecting Digital Tool Use in Client Interaction According to Mental Health Professionals: Interview Study (Preprint)
Authors: Lukka Lauri , Karhulahti Veli-Matti , Palva J Matias
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Digital tools and interventions are being increasingly developed in response to the growing mental health crisis, and mental health professionals (MHPs) considerably influence their adoption in client practice. However, how MHPs use digital tools in client interaction is yet to be sufficiently understood, which poses challenges to their design, development, and implementation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to create a contextual understanding of how MHPs use different digital tools in clinical client practice and what characterizes the use across tools.

METHODS

A total of 19 Finnish MHPs participated in semistructured interviews, and the data were transcribed, coded, and inductively analyzed.

RESULTS

We found that MHP digital tool use was characterized by 3 distinct functions: communication, diagnosis and evaluation, and facilitating therapeutic change. The functions were addressed using analog tools, digitized tools that mimic their analog counterparts, and digital tools that use the possibilities native to digital. The MHP-client communication included various media alongside face-to-face meetings, the MHPs increasingly used digitized tools in client evaluation, and the MHPs actively used digitized materials to facilitate therapeutic change. MHP tool use was generally characterized by adaptability—it was negotiated in client interactions. However, there was considerable variance in the breadth of MHPs’ digital toolbox. The existing clinical practices emphasized MHP-client interaction and invited incremental rather than radical developments, which challenged the achievement of the scalability benefits expected from digital tools.

CONCLUSIONS

MHPs use digitized and digital tools in client practice. Our results contribute to the user-centered research, development, and implementation of new digital solutions in mental health care by classifying them according to their function and medium and describing how MHPs use and do not use them.

Authors: Pramana Raditya
Published: January 2023

Banyaknya permasalahan dalam perencanaan dan penganggaran di pemerintah daerah mendorong Kementerian Dalam Negeri untuk menerbitkan kebijakan yang mewajibkan Aparat Pengawasan Intern Pemerintah (APIP) di daerah untuk melakukan quality assurance terhadap perencanaan dan penganggaran di pemerintah daerah mulai tahun 2015. Hal tersebut merupakan peran baru yang harus dijalankan oleh APIP. Sebelumnya, dalam pengelolaan keuangan daerah APIP hanya berperan di sisi pelaksanaan dan pelaporan. Peran baru tersebut diwujudkan dalam pelaksanaan reviu dokumen rencana pembangunan dan anggaran tahunan. Salah satu pemerintah daerah yang melaksanakan reviu tersebut adalah Kabupaten Batang.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pelaksanaan reviu dokumen rencana pembangunan dan anggaran tahunan oleh Inspektorat Kabupaten Batang sehingga diperoleh pemahaman yang lebih mendalam. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan pelaksanaan reviu dokumen rencana pembangunan dan anggaran tahunan di Kabupaten Batang belum optimal. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif khususnya studi kasus. Data primer dan data sekunder diperoleh melalui wawancara dan pengumpulan dokumen. Selanjutnya, data tersebut dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis data tekstual.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa reviu dokumen rencana pembangunan dan anggaran tahunan di Kabupaten Batang baru pertama kali dilakukan pada tahun 2016. Reviu dokumen rencana pembangunan dan anggaran tahunan daerah yang harus dilaksanakan oleh APIP di daerah terdiri atas reviu RKPD/Perubahan RKPD, reviu Renja-SKPD/Perubahan Renja-SKPD, reviu KUA-PPAS/KUA-PPAS Perubahan dan reviu RKA-SKPD/RKA-SKPD Perubahan oleh APIP Provinsi/Kabupaten/Kota, namun Inspektorat Kabupaten Batang hanya melaksanakan reviu RKA-SKPD/RKA-SKPD Perubahan. Secara garis besar, proses pelaksanaan reviu RKA-SKPD yang dilaksanakan oleh Inspektorat Kabupaten Batang terdiri dari tiga tahap yaitu tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan pelaporan.

Vibration Analysis of Individual Leaf of Leaf Spring for Two Different Materials Having Different End Conditions
Authors: Akhtar Md Rashid , Mohammad Aas
Published: January 2023

Abstract: This paper deals with the vibration analysis of Leaf Spring in which the comparison is done for two different materials and different end conditions. The materials used are both isotropic in nature. The material properties are mentioned in the paper during analysis. The spring is analysed with different L/R ratios using higher order shear deformation theory. The end conditions used for analysis are simply supported, clamped clamped and one end fixed other end free condition. The dependence of support conditions and radius of curvature on the frequency response is highlighted. The convergence study has been done along with comparison to validate the present formulation. The result and the analysis of the frequency of vibration can be used to optimize the frequency of leaf spring to have better ride. It was observed during analysis that as radius of curvature of leaf spring is decreased keeping length constant the value of frequency of vibration increases. It was also observed that as the boundary conditions are changed from clamped- clamped to simply supported the frequency also decreases for same Length/Radius of curvature ratio.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Sangeun , Park Sangbong
Published: January 2023

Objectives This study found that the importance and proportion of Korean folk play were decreasing in the 2015 revised curriculum, and tried to find ways to revitalize Korean folk play in school. For this, firstly, the Korean folk play’s educational values which were reflected in the curriculum documents and reflection aspect were examined. Based on this, strategies to revitalize Korean folk play in Elementary school were proposed.
Methods The data such as previous studies related to Korean folk play, curriculum documents, etc were collected, and as the research method, the literature analysis method was applied.
Results The educational values of Korean folk play were categorized into traditionality, artistry, playfulness, and enjoyment. The aspect of reflecting the educational value of Korean folk play was presented as a content element of the related area without an independent area during the 1st to 3rd curriculum. In the 4th to 6th curriculum, an independent content area was newly established. In the 7th curriculum, the activities by area were divided into mandatory and optional activities, so the examples of physical activity in Korean folk play increased. In the revised curriculum of 2007 and 2009, the independent small and middle areas of Korean folk play were established. In the 2015 revised curriculum, Korean folk play was deeply related to ideas of an educated person and key competencies of curriculum revision. In addition, it had a close relationship with Expressive movement ability and Athletic performance competence, which were the competency of Physical education competencies. Despite the organic relationship with the idea of an educated person and competencies, Korean folk play was gradually introduced as the content factor of the area, and the proportion of this decreased.
Conclusions The ways to revitalize Korean folk play in Elementary school were as follows. First, to enhance the status of Korean folk play, expand the opportunities to choose Korean folk play. Second, teach Korean folk play by integrating or linking between subjects. Third, expand the opportunities to participate in Korean folk play such as linking Korean folk play with the 4th industrial revolution technology.

Pre-service English Teachers’ Beliefs about English Language Learning
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Eun-Soo
Published: January 2023

Objectives The language teachers’ beliefs about language have an impact on their practices and are likely influence their students’ belief about language learning. This study investigated English language learning beliefs of pre-service teachers of English. The study also examined whether any significant differences exist in pre-service English teachers’ beliefs by gender, different academic years and self-rated English proficiency levels.
Methods For this purpose, 91 undergraduate students enrolled in English education department at A university participated in this study. The participants were asked to answer the questionnaire of Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory(BALLI). Data were obtained by distributing the questionnaire through online during the weeks 5 and 6 in the spring of 2022. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Chi-test, t-test and ANOVA were used.
Results The participants showed strong beliefs about the effect on age and the importance of target culture in English language learning. The participants did not agree the importance role of grammar and translation. However, the pre-service English teachers in this study tended to view traditional activities as more useful than communicative activities. The participants believed that English language learning involves a lot of memorization and repetitions. Some of beliefs held by pre-service teachers constitute an impediment to successful English language learning and teaching, such as beliefs about pronunciation, error correction, and vocabulary learning. There was a significant difference for the role of grammar by gender, different academic years and English proficiency levels. Pre-service teachers’ beliefs about the importance of vocabulary, expectation of language, willingness to communicate and motivations were significant based on the participants’ English proficiency levels.
Conclusions Pre-service teachers in this study hold a variety of beliefs about English learning. Some of beliefs were consist with the communicative language teaching approach whereas some didn’t reflect the 2015 Revised National English Curriculum and the current language teaching trends. The findings from this study showed that considerable efforts should be made to eliminate any unrealistic beliefs pre-service teachers may hold before they start teaching.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Jinsook
Published: January 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the procedures and contents of China's national level curriculum revision, focusing on the general framework of the 2022 revision of the elementary and middle school curriculum, and to draw implications for the revision of the Korean curriculum.
Methods This study analyzed the documents and related prior research and government policy data of China's revised national curriculum for elementary and secondary schools. Goal setting, curriculum organization structure, common guidelines for subject curriculum quality control, framework document system, etc.
Results First, the Chinese national curriculum is divided into three school-level curriculums: kindergarten, compulsory education schools, and high school. China's national curriculum revision cycle went through a long revision cycle of about 10 years for each school level. Second, the purpose of the revision is to emphasize the socialist state idea, to focus on core competencies for education reform in preparation for the future society, and to improve the curriculum for problem solving and educational reform. The educational goal is ‘a new human being with the ideal, ability, and responsibility required by the times’.

Objectives This study analyzed whether the mediating effect of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy was significant in the relationship between family strength and learning flow of adolescents, and whether emotional intelligence and self-efficacy sequentially mediate the relationship between the two variables.
Methods For the purposes, 377 middle and high school students in Seoul participated in this study. A survey of family strength, emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and learning flow was conducted. Bootstrapping analysis was performed using the SPSS Macro Process to examine the mediating effects.
Results The direct effects of family strength, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy on learning flow were significant. The direct effect of family strength on emotional intelligence was significant, while the direct effect of family strength on self-efficacy was not significant. The mediating effect of emotional intelligence was significant in the relationship between family strength and learning flow. On the other hand, the mediating effect of self-efficacy was not significant in the relationship between family strength and learning flow. The sequential mediating effect of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy was significant in the relationship between family strength and learning flow.
Conclusions The family strength of adolescents affects learning flow through emotional intelligence and self-efficacy sequentially. Therefore, in order to increase the level of adolescents' learning flow, a parent education program that can improve family strength is needed, and interventions that can improve the ability to check and control emotions of oneself and others are required.

Objectives This study was designed as a way for Korean language learners to use natural relative honorifics in formal situations. Therefore, this study aims to present teaching method of Korean relative honorifics through news interview in the perspective of style-shifting between ‘hasipsio’ style and ‘haeyo’ style at formal situation.
Methods To conduct this research, analysis of relevant literature review was firstly held. Many previous studies argued that style-shifting between ‘hasipsio’ style and ‘haeyo’ style at formal situation is not reflected enough in Korean textbooks even if they agree that style-shifting is important. Therefore, researchers of this study analyzed Korean textbooks published by five different organizations and seven episodes of news interview which foreign interviewees appeared.
Results As a result of analyzing Korean textbooks, it was revealed that Korean language learners could not acquire natural relative honorifics as textbooks did not deal with the style-shifting between ‘hasipsio’ style and ‘haeyo’ style, and a dichotomous explanation of ‘formal’ style and ‘informal’ style was presented. In news interviews, style-shifting between ‘hasipsio’ style and ‘haeyo’ style took place many times, but there were cases in which discourse was made up with only ‘hasipsio’ style or excessively ‘haeyo’ style was attempted. Also, foreign interviewees used a limited number of final endings in ‘haeyo’ style compared to Korean native speakers. Through the analysis of Korean textbooks and news interview discourse, it was confirmed that explicit education was necessary, and the teaching method of Korean relative honorifics education was presented in the end.
Conclusions The significance of this study is that (1) it analyzed the current problems of Korean relative honorifics education and (2) the teaching method was suggested by analyzing textbooks and the discourse in news interview both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to discover in-depth and comprehensive concepts behind the sharenting experiences of young children’s mothers by qualitative meta-synthesis.
Methods A qualitative meta-synthesis by meta-ethnography method(Noblit & Hare, 1988) was performed on eight qualitative research papers selected through a systematic process. The concepts of the secondary construct extracted from the each area of interests in each 8 study and the concepts of tertiary construct extracted from reinterpreting and integrating the secondary construct concepts were analyzed.
Results As a result of the study, first, it was found that the reasons mothers of young children participate in the sharenting were a convenient usage of social media, recording and obtaining information, communication and expressing themselves. Second, about how to do the sharenting, the mothers reported that they participated with a free and active attitude, used a social media selectively, and coped with some difficulties happened during the sharenting.
