Purpose: This qualitative study aimed to understand and describe teachers' experiences of early childhood sex education. Methods: For data collection, in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 early childhood teachers working at daycare centers until the data were saturated. Recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed using the qualitative thematic analysis method suggested by Braun and Clarke. Results: Although early childhood teachers recognized the necessity of sex education for children, they experienced difficulties in imparting sex education in daycare centers. Teachers lacked confidence because they themselves had not received proper education related to teaching sex education. It was confirmed that sex education methods and materials were lacking and outdated, and the support of educational institutions was insufficient. Teachers emphasized the importance of communication and cooperation with parents when sexual behavior problems occur in children. Conclusion: Systematic education for teachers and parents is required to raise awareness of sex education and to communicate smoothly among them.

Purpose: This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding by analyzing and exploring the work experience of infection control nurses (ICNs) in response to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data were collected from 14 ICNs, (two in in-depth interviews and 12 in groups of six) from February 19, 2021, to March 20, 2021, and were analyzed according to the content. Results: In the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, ICNs took the lead in responding to infectious diseases, where they felt pressure in doing everything. In addition, they were confused by a lack of workforce and undetailed job plans. ICNs have been exhausted by insufficient support and system, such as the lack of support in the hospital, communication with health authorities, and difficulties with patients and visitors. However, ICNs settle with the help and encouragement of those around them. For example, pride in the work that only ICN can do, change in the cooperation of hospitals, and development of ICNs’ unique method of perseverance. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, ICNs experienced structural, physical, and mental difficulties at work. Nevertheless, the study found that a driving force enabled ICNs to endure, and that to efficiently respond to new infectious diseases in the future, it is necessary to secure ICNs and strengthen them.

In weapon assignment studies to defend against threats such as ballistic missiles and long range artillery, threat assessment was partially lacking in analysis of various threat attributes, and considering the threat characteristics of warheads, which are difficult to judge in the early flight stages, it is very important to apply more reliable optimal solutions than approximate solution using LP model, Meta heuristics Genetic Algorithm, Tabu search and Particle swarm optimization etc. Our studies suggest Generic Rule based threat evaluation and weapon assignment algorithm in the basis of various attributes of threats. First job of studies analyzes information on Various attributes such as the type of target, Flight trajectory and flight time, range and intercept altitude of the intercept system, etc. Second job of studies propose Rule based threat evaluation and weapon assignment algorithm were applied to obtain a more reliable solution by reflection the importance of the interception system. It analyzes ballistic missiles and long-range artillery was assigned to multiple intercept system by real time threat assessment reflecting various threat information. The results of this study are provided reliable solution for Weapon Assignment problem as well as considered to be applicable to establishing a missile and long range artillery defense system.

Purpose: This study explored and described the lived experiences of nurses in taking care of patients during COVID-19 pandemic in Korea. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 10 nurses who involved in COVID-19 patient care. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis. Results: Qualitative data analysis revealed three categories: ‘standing in front of the pandemic’, ‘harsh experience of caring for COVID-19 patients’, and ‘finding a way for better COVID-19 patients care’. The lived experience of nurses in caring of patients with COVID-19 infection was ‘finding the best way to provide proper care in unfamiliar and difficult pandemic situation’. Conclusion: The results illustrated the motivation, meaning, and value of pandemic care from the nurses’ perspective. Nurses felt proud of being a part of dedicated hard-working team but distressed by crumbling death without dignity and pressured by being thrown at the front-line in the COVID-19 battle. The advanced practice nurses’ hidden supports and advices were helpful for them to reinforce nursing capacity for optimal care. Nursing professionalism should be enhanced by establishing the scope of practices and providing systematic support with appropriate rewards.

악성 게시글 및 댓글의 위험성에 대한 사회적 경각심이 높아지고 있는 상황 속에서, 인터넷 포 털 사이트와 SNS 등은 악성 게시글 및 댓글 등 을 AI를 통하여 필터링하는 기능을 도입하고 있 다. 그 과정 속에서 AI가 어떠한 기준에 따라 필 터링을 하는지 구체적인 내용이 공개되지 않아 이용자들의 반발이 계속되고 있다. AI 필터링의 확산은 불가피하게 이용자의 표 현의 자유, 알 권리를 제약하는 결과로 이어진다. 특히 AI 필터링은 인간에 의한 필터링과 달리 필 터링 결과에 이른 근거가 무엇인지 인간이 이해 할 수 있는 방법으로 인간에게 전달하는 것이 어 렵다는 점에 특징이 있다. 설명가능 인공지능(XAI)은 이용자에게 시스 템의 개별 의사결정에 대한 설명을 제공하고, 이 용자가 AI 시스템의 전반적인 강점 및 약점을 이 해하도록 도와주는 기술이며, 미국 방위고등연구 계획국(DARPA)의 주도하에 연구가 진행되고 있다. XAI는 다양한 분야에서 이용자로부터 신뢰 를 얻고 사회적 수용을 위한 공감대를 형성하는 수단이 될 것으로 예상된다. EU의 일반개인정보보호규정(GDPR)은 정보 주체들이 인공지능 알고리듬이 어떻게 결과를 도 출하는지에 대한 설명을 요구하는 근거규범을 포 함하고 있다. 설명요구권과 자동화된 의사결정을 제한할 권리를 규정함으로써 정보주체의 기본 권 리를 보장하기 위한 규제 메카니즘을 구축하였다. 이로써 XAI 개발과 설계를 위한 노력이 긴요한 과제가 되었다. GDPR의 AI 규제 메카니즘 구축이 기술 발전 을 저해하는 효과를 낳을 수 있다는 부정론도 제 기되고 있다. 하지만 AI 알고리듬의 오류 발생 가 능성이 상존하므로, AI 필터링의 신뢰도를 확보 하기 위한 근거 설명의 필요성이 크다는 점에서 AI의 알고리듬 도출 결과의 근거를 요구할 수 있 는 입법이 긴요하다고 볼 수 있다.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has conducted the Dietary Education Projects at Childcare Centers since 2015. This study provides preliminary data for early childhood dietary education programs, by evaluating the outcomes of the projects. This survey enrolled 212 participants whose children had participated in the projects, and 142 non-participants. Comparing the perception of importance towards each educational program of the projects, dietary education program gained significantly higher importance than other subjects included, and was significantly higher in the participants than in non-participants. In the preference for food group survey for children, vegetable and seaweed preferences were higher among participants than non-participants, indicating that participation in the dietary education projects contribute towards increase in preferences for vegetables and seaweed, which children generally dislike. No significant differences were observed in children’s dietary habits between participant and non-participant groups, thereby suggesting that the education projects were insufficient for inducing dietary habit changes. In order to accomplish effective improvement of dietary habits, the education projects need further improvements to achieve systematic and long-term plans.
