  • This survey was done to construct a nursing theory according to Korean culture and to identify the Korean traditional view. From ancient time until now, shamanism has played an important role as determinant of Korean culture and of the personality formation of Korean people. The subjects are 321 patients and member of their families who were over 18 years old, and who are living in five large cities and two rural communities in Korea. Data collection was done from March, 8th to April, 29th in 1999. SPSS The tool developed by the investigator through literature review was used to measure the perception and the attitude of patients and their families to Korean shamanism. Collected data were analyzed by frequency, percent and $x^2$ test with SPSS program. The results are summarized as follows ; 1) While 35% of respondents answed that the destiny or fate(八字) was only relied on the abilities and endeavor of individual, 65% of respondents were fatalists(運命論者) or eclectic(折衷主義者) are compromised between the fate and endeavor. 2) While half of the respondents belief in divination(占) to some degree, the rest of them reported hardly any belief in divination. 3) There were almost twice as many respondents who directly consulted fortune-tellers were as respondents who did not consult fortunetellers. 4) The reasons for consulting fortunetellers were job problems, home problems, health problems by in that order. 5) The respondents almost always interpreted the cause of physical disease and mental disease as being psycho-sociological, but 1% of them explained mental disease as a shamanistic manitestation. 6) In case of disease, the reasons for consulting a fortuneteller was a) no hope of recovery from the sickness in any other way, b) the chronic disease in that order. 7) Of the respondents, 65% answered that diseases could not be cured by a 'Gut' (the performance done by the shaman), but 27% of respondents thought that disease could be cured by a 'Gut' in the case of mental disease. 8) Sixty six percent of the respondents answered that they have experienced praying for their wishes with clean water(井華水). 9) While 54% of the respondents answered that they have seen or heard the 'Beung Gut'(the performance to pray for recovery of sickness done by the shaman), 46% responded that they have never seen or heard it. 10) To the question 'do you intend to have a 'Beung Gut', 51.7% of respondents answer 'no' strongly, but 48% of them say 'yes' or took a compromising attitude. 11) Generally the respondents differed in perception and attitude to shamanism. In short, females more than males, old aged more than younger aged, lower educated more than higher educated, believers in Buddhism more than believers in any other religion, and blue color more than white color have more positive attitudes to shamanism. Also men living in rural communities have more positive attitude to shamanism than men living in the large cities. Consequently, Shamanism can be understood as an anxiety relieving cultural system even though Shamanism itself looks like a cultural complex.

  • Due to abnormal weather conditions such as high temperature, the management of greenhouse rose farms is getting worse. In order to enhance the competitiveness of these farms, new measures are needed to improve their management performance. Therefore, this study suggests alternatives to improve the efficiency and productivity by identifying the causes of inefficiency of greenhouse rose farms in terms of management performance analysis through DEA analysis and MPI analysis. As a result of DEA analysis, the average TE of farmers increased from 0.867('16) to 0.905('17), but decreased to 0.850 in 2018, indicating that it was inefficient. In order to increase the management efficiency of farmers, efforts to preferentially reduce the costs (equipment, employment labor, fertilizer, facilities, seeds) that cause inefficiencies are needed. As a result of MPI analysis, TECI decreased from 1.044(T2) to 0.939(T3), which was the cause of the MPI decrease, and the TCI was rather increased from 0.958(T2) to 0.969(T3). In other words, it means that the decrease in productivity is due to insufficient utilization of potential production technology rather than the slowing of technological progress. This implies that it is important to provide technical guidance on utilization after technology dissemination.

  • Those studies in the field of Management Information Systems and the Success Model of the DeLone and McLean's Information Systems suggest that some factors related to information systems should be developed and operated to affect the performance of the user's personal and companies through the introduction and use of corporate information systems. The purpose of this study is put on searching for some factors which impact on user satisfaction about the customer information management systems of call center. We did conduct on a survey of 539 people who are working as a call center counseling employees as setting up a structural equation model which reflects previous research on working environment and job satisfaction, and modified DeLone and McLean's information system success model. The results of this study are as follows. First, seven of the eleven hypotheses that three quality of the information systems might be affecting working environment, job satisfaction, user satisfaction were adopted Second, we confirmed that the working environment works as a the partial mediation and the quality of services works as a fully mediation between system/information quality and users' satisfaction. The implications of this study are that it is necessary not only to make a good working environment but also to keep improving it in order to boost the operational performance of information systems in the future.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of mergers and acquisitions of domestic IT companies on strategic aspects of internal capacity enhancement. Empirical analysis applied to this study analyzed the business performance in the market through the merger of Daum Communications and Kakao Group. After Daum pursued the merger with Kakao, it showed that the platform business of kakao is expanding to the domain of the existing portal site. The merger was completed, and the total value of the stocks went up to the highest level, but soon its value declined. The merger shows that the growth potential of the enterprise is temporarily declining, which seems to be the internal cost of the merger. Even in the case of profitability, the merger did not show positive results. In the case of stability, the expectation due to the merger was reflected and slightly increased. The following two companies were interested in the kakao when they viewed the merger through a chronological analysis. However, after the merger, the interest of the next kakao was similar. This is seen as a result of the expansion of kakao's diverse platform business rather than the following search sites. From the results of this study, it is suggested that domestic IT companies should approach by analyzing the strategic factors that generate synergy when pursuing M & A to strengthen their resources or capabilities.

  • The CAT methodology is a numerical analysis technique using CAE. Recently, a methodology of applying artificial intelligence techniques to a simulation has been studied. A previous study compared the deformation results according to the injection molding process using a machine learning technique. Although MLP has excellent prediction performance, it lacks an explanation of the decision process and is like a black box. In this study, data was generated using Autodesk Moldflow 2018, an injection molding analysis software. Several Machine Learning Algorithms models were developed using RapidMiner version 9.5, a machine learning platform software, and the root mean square error was compared. The decision-tree showed better prediction performance than other machine learning techniques with the RMSE values. The classification criterion can be increased according to the Maximal Depth that determines the size of the Decision-tree, but the complexity also increases. The simulation showed that by selecting an intermediate value that satisfies the constraint based on the changed position, there was 7.7% improvement compared to the previous simulation.

  • The degree to which the design of a building embraces maintenance considerations has a great impact on its performance. Modern buildings are designed to meet higher building standards than in previous times. As the result, the influence of design on the maintenance of buildings is greater than ever before. The issue of building maintenance is a universal one and its consideration at the design stage is of great importance on the future performance of the building. Even though many studies have conducted to improve building performance, almost all of the results of those studies have not been utilized effectively during design. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a checklist which could be used for incorporating building maintenance concept in the design. The suggested checklist was made by reviewing previous studies and then refined through consulting with professionals of relevant fields.

  • Social collaboration and knowledge sharing among experts are the key characteristics of information system development projects. But the difficulty and complexity of communication may be the cause of the project failures. This study analyzes the influence of on-line social networking as communication system in information system development projects. A model has been developed to relate system, knowledge and social factors of on-line social networking to the performance of project members. Transactive Memory System (TMS), describing knowledge sharing process in human relationship, is used as a mediator. The analysis concludes that knowledge and social characteristics have positive effect on the members' performance, implying that the use of mobile devices and PCs as a social communication tool can be an effective way to enhance the possibility of project success.
