Learning from the failure: experiences in the Korean telecommunications market
No full textWe performed a case analysis to derive factors leading to telecommunications service failure. In this study, 15 failure cases in the Korean telecommunications service industry were analyzed. From the analysis, eight factors leading to telecommunications service failure were found. The characteristics of eight failure factors were analyzed depending on the phases of the NPD process and the types of the services. The characterization of the failure factors provided important managerial implications for the efficient service development process. In the ever-changing business environment, simply following previous success factors never allows for the duplication of success. Learning from the failure case analysis provides important insight for the development of new telecommunications services. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

No full textA cross-sectional study of nursing students' eHealth literacy and COVID-19 preventive behaviours
No full textAim: This study explored nursing students' eHealth literacy, lifestyle behaviours and COVID-19-related preventive behaviours and associated factors. Design: A cross-sectional comparative correlational study. Methods: Nursing students (n = 358) from a metropolitan area of South Korea were recruited for an online survey. The online questionnaire included: The eHealth Literacy Scale, the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II and the COVID-19-related preventive behaviour scale. Results: COVID-19-related preventive behaviours correlated positively with satisfaction with one's major, time spent seeking health information online, eHealth literacy and lifestyle behaviours. Significant factors affecting COVID-19-related preventive behaviours were the following: being female (β = 0.194, p <.001), time spent seeking health information online (β = 0.114, p =.002), eHealth literacy (β = 0.167, p =.001) and lifestyle behaviours (β = 0.266, p <.001). Conclusions: Findings highlight the need to strengthen searching behaviours to access accurate health information online and reinforce eHealth literacy and health-promoting lifestyle behaviours to improve COVID-19 preventive behaviours among nursing students

Osimertinib for Patients With Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Harboring Uncommon EGFR Mutations: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase II Trial (KCSG-LU15-09)
No full textPURPOSE: Approximately 10% of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbor uncommon mutations. Here, we report the efficacy and safety of osimertinib in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations. PATIENT AND METHODS: This was a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase II study in Korea. Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic or recurrent NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations other than the exon 19 deletion, L858R and T790M mutations, and exon 20 insertion were eligible for the study. The primary end point of objective response rate was assessed every 6 weeks by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Secondary end points were progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, and safety. RESULTS: Between March 2016 and October 2017, 37 patients were enrolled. All were evaluable except one patient who withdrew consent after starting treatment. Median age was 60 years, and 22 (61%) were male. Among patients, 61% received osimertinib as first-line therapy. The mutations identified were G719X (n = 19; 53%), followed by L861Q (n = 9; 25%), S768I (n = 8; 22%), and others (n = 4; 11%). Objective response rate was 50% (18 of 36 patients; 95% CI, 33% to 67%). Median progression-free survival was 8.2 months (95% CI, 5.9 to 10.5 months), and median overall survival was not reached. Median duration of response was 11.2 months (95% CI, 7.7 to 14.7 months). Adverse events of any grade were rash (n = 11; 31%), pruritus (n = 9; 25%), decreased appetite (n = 9; 25%), diarrhea (n = 8; 22%), and dyspnea (n = 8; 22%), but all adverse events were manageable. CONCLUSION: Osimertinib demonstrated favorable activity with manageable toxicity in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations

Earota babai is a new addition to the Korean fauna and the genus is reported from the East Palaearctic region for the first time.Published as part of Lee, Seung-Gyu & Ahn, Kee-Jeong, 2014, Two new combinations and a key to the species of the genus Earota Mulsant & Rey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), pp. 187-193 in Zootaxa 3765 (2) on pages 188-191, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3765.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/490962
