In order to appreciate the varied activities of university libraries, this study assesses their efficiencies in the process of production and utilization of their services for two consecutive years, 1999 and 2000. Using a Data Envelopment Analysis with exogenously fixed factors, this study analyses separately efficiencies identified. The results show that efficiencies of libraries appear differently according to the year of evaluation, the dimension of evaluation as well as the difference of statute. The specialized libraries as CADIST are definitely higher in terms of use of services. In addition, inefficiency is mainly due to deficits of production of outputs rather than excesses of utilisation of inputs. For example, time devoted to user's training constitutes the most significant potentiality of increase in the production of services.

Purposes: This study aims to investigate the changes in the length of stay and medical expenses by the impact of the admission decided by patients or their family. Methodology: The analysis was conducted using data from elder patients aged 65 or older who have used admission services more than once from year 6(2012) to year 12(2017) of the Korean Medical Panel Data(KOWEPS). The statistical analysis was performed through the Chi-square test, mean difference analysis, and generalized estimation equation analysis. Findings: Compared to the patients who used admission services decided by doctors, those who used admission services decided by patients or their family had a longer length of stay and a lower daily medical expense. Practical Implications: Inappropriate admission decided by patients or their family can increase the risk of hospital-acquired infections, impairing the health of elderly patients, and has a negative impact on the efficiency of health resources. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and properly manage inappropriate admission decided by patients or their family

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the Korean medical utilization and Korean medical expenses by characteristics of multicultural family members to investigate whether it affects Korean medical utilization. Methods: This study utilized The Korea Health Panel data in 2018, with 238 final participants. We performed a t-test and ANOVA on the difference between Korean medical utilization and Korean medical expenses according to Anderson's Model of Health Service Utilization variables. Logistic regression analysis and generalized linear model analysis were conducted to analyze Korean medical utilization factors. Results: The Korean Medical utilization was 12.61% among the multicultural family members. As a result of regression analysis, the female had high Korean medical utilization(p=.008), and rural area residents had low utilization(p=.017). Korean medical expenses were high when they were female or married. Including the utilization of western medical services by outpatients, Korean medical expenses were high when they were female or outpatients who received western medical services. Conclusions: As a result of this study, the factors influencing Korean medical utilization were gender and residence area. There were differences in Korean medical expenses depending on western medical services use or gender. Therefore, it is necessary to use these factors to expand the Korean Medical utilization by multicultural family members, and research of the Korean medical utilization by disease is needed.

Recently, as people's interest in health care has been rising, the health care service awareness and utilization has been increasing. However, the existing healthcare services have problems such as inconvenience of mobility, the low reliability of input for information and low accuracy of information provided as well. in this study, we developed the m-Health application by utilizing smart phone with improvement of these problems. This application provided the total of 5 services such as notification for risk of cardiovascular disease, personalized dietary recommendations targeted to 20s and 30s who do not properly manage their health care by bad habits. In addition, the benefits and problems of these services were found out through the analysis for the general importance and satisfaction of these services by Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique. In result of IPA analysis, The six items such as 'input accuracy and reliability of information', 'content reliability', 'proper health service recommendations', etc. among 12 of the items needed to receive the effective services on m-Health were belonged to importance and satisfaction area with high level. And, in the 'information security', the importance is high but the satisfaction was low. In conclusion, the further study for strengthening security of information, service update provided with PHR to consistently keep the advantage of these services will be conducted.

This paper proposes an approach to analyzing the relationship between technology and services, and to identifying promising service areas for technology-based firms with the analysis of business model (BM) patents. First, BM patents and technology patents are collected and classified into their relevant categories, respectively. Second, patent citation analysis is conducted to analyze the linkage and impacts between each technology and service field at macro level. Third, as a micro level analysis, patent co-classification analysis is employed to identify the interrelationships among specific technology and service areas. Finally, the promising service areas for technology-based firms seeking service areas for diversification is investigated with portfolio analysis. The working of the proposed approach is provided with the help of a case study of IT and mobile services. The proposed approach could guide and help managers of technology-based firms to discover the opportunity of the diversification to new areas in emerging service fields.

Since acquiring intelligence about political situations around the Korea Peninsular in a direct manner is nearly impossible, it is inevitable for the individuals or companies to rely on open and indirect data such as newspapers. However, since the contents in the newspapers are substantially unstructured and very large, conventional content analysis is time-consuming and hence very costly. Hence, this paper aims to propose a sentimental analysis method which computes daily 'peace index' from unstructured data in the newspapers. From the content analysis, words and phrases which represent the sentiment of a nation are carefully identified. To show the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper, a prototype system with vocabulary repository about political situations was developed for estimating peace index automatically.

This study attempts to provide the foundation that KINITI and industrial su n.0, pporting organizations can be strong information analysis centers if they fortify their information analysis activities. The following conclusions are resulted from the analysis in the state-of-the-art-report covered in national information flow system, service methods and their publications of the information analysis activities provided by the KINITI and industrial su n.0, pporting organizations. First, the KINITI and industrial su n.0, pporting organizations have not be acquiring enough information materials. The services for bibliographic information should guarantee the uses of original documents. Second, the number of organizations providing on-line information services has been increasing, but the provided materials are not sufficiently suited for user's requests. Third, the speedy information provision and efficient information dissemination for the end users in the long distance may be possible through on-line service, but it requires information analysis procedure to select the necessary information in our industrial environment. Forth, the information activities provided by the libraries of industrial su n.0, pporting organizations should be fortified.

Punctuality is one of the key performance indicators of the airline industry and an important service differentiator especially for valuable customers. In addition, improvement on time performance can help achieve cost saving, i.e. the cost of airline report, which could range from 0.6% to 2.9% of their operating revenues. Therefore efficient management of punctuality is crucial for the industry. This study overcomes the limitations of existing analyses on punctuality and develops a multi-dimensional model for airport punctuality analysis. In addition to analysis of airport punctuality, visual analysis is also proposed in the study. Data was collected from actual flight data of Incheon International Airport. Using the new visual analysis method, the study discovered the pattern of the punctuality that has never studied before.
