최근 고령화 사회 진입에 따라 고령 사용자의 컴퓨터 사용규모와 관심이 점점 증가하면서 컴퓨터의 사용성(usability)에 대한 유니버설 디자인 문제가 제 기되고 있으며, 특히 MS Windows의 유니버설 UI디자인의 중요성에 대한 인식도 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는MS windows 사용에 있어 사용자의 나이, 능력에 상관없이 고령 사용자 및 컴퓨터 사용 초심자에게 보다 직관적이고 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 MS Windows의 유니버설 GUI 디자인의 개념을 설정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 특히, MS Windows의 학습과 사용에 있어 가장 어려움이 많을 것으로 예상되는 고령 사용자의 요구 사항을 조사, 분석하고 이 에 대한 해결안을 GUI 디자인에 반영하는 것을 중심으로 진행하였다. 연구 방법은 사용자 조사 방법으로서 고령자 대상의 컴퓨터 교육과정에서 MS Windows를 교육하는 4주 동안 보조 교사로 참여하여 관찰을 실시하였으며, 이를 보완할 수 있는 탐색 테스트와 인터뷰를 추가적으로 진행함으로써 불편 요소와 요구사항을 추출하였고 이를 기반으로 US Windows의 새로운 GUI 디자인 안을 제시하였다. 디자인 해결안은 MS Windows의 디폴트 값 설정, 쉬운 개념모형 형성을 위한 MS Windows 기능 단순화, 진화과정에 따른 MS Windows기능과 환경설정의 개인화, 화면에서의 시각적 문제 해결, 조작 과정상에서의 인터랙션 문제 해결 등의 방향에서 아이디어를 포함하였으며, MS Windows XP 환경에서 제공하는 사용자 로그인에서 사용자의 수준에 따라 초보자 모드로 접근 가능하여 운영 가능하도록 하였다. 본 연구는 고령 사용자의 MS Windows 활용에 대한 문제점과 요구사항을 장기적인 참여관찰을 통해 추출함으로써 신뢰도 높은 디자인 문제를 발견했다는데 의의를 찾을 수 있으며, 향후 해결안으로 제시된 디자인 안의 사용성에 대한 검증이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

This study attempts to make an observation on the problems and prospects for overseas agricultural investment(OAI) through the insights of farming and farmed companies abroad and through secondary data. OAI mainly aims at the securing steady supplies of crops, which could be anticipated to have increased foreign dependence, and to prepare for crop price fluctuations in the international markets. These functions of OAT are classified with the public and private sector. The public sector needs are largely crops supply for national food consumption and bilateral collaboration between nations. The private sector needs are to gain maximum profits from agricultural investments and to produce raw material for self-consumption in overseas farming companies. The problems in OAI are legal and institutional restrictions in the project area or nation; generally economical unfeasibility in the farm projects, and technical limitations of the farming companies. The prospects of OAI are not very promising. The reason why those many companies which previously planned on OAI changed their investment plans after what is called IMF system with financing difficulties.

This paper discussed the application process of the Dot Idea program. The Dot Idea program is an incubation and open innovation program co-created by Unitec, an incubator at Tecnosinos Tech Park, and an SAP innovation team. The main objective of this study was to cover an existing gap in the literature regarding the practical application of an open innovation methodology. Many companies seek interaction with external parties to enable advancement toward identified innovation opportunities. Technology clusters, parks, and incubators have played an important role in promoting connections and interaction. Consequently, the Dot Idea program emerged as a result of a joint effort to create a program using a design science research methodology aiming to foster new businesses and strengthen Brazil and Latin America as a hub to develop new solutions for traditional organizations. In regards to lessons learned, the Dot.health trial had some success but also experienced difficulties; these related to the relationships between startups and a hospital's internal teams, and startups' needs to be funded from the beginning in order to be fully dedicated to a project.

As the number of elderly increased rapidly every year, many elderly still choose to stay independent despite of difficulties and challenges faced in their daily routine. Elderly has desperate needs for support for their living. Internet of Things helps to support and improve elderly's life in many ways to meet the needs and requirements. Home Automation Control (EHAC) is a research based system that support elderly with controlled automation solution that control and operates various home electrical appliances based on the measurement of heart pulse rate and environment temperature. This paper works on EHAC system to evaluate the performance of the system in elderly's daily routine. This paper presented experiments conducted with approach of IoT testing and discussion on analysis of the results.

The researcher compared the curricula, the textbooks, the methods of didactic transposition, teacher practices of elementary and secondary mathematics education. The study reviewed several mathematics education theories in the aspect of the differences between the two levels. Findings from this study show a little difference between elementary and secondary mathematics education. There are special difficulties in didactic transposition in elementary mathematics education since it is so far from scientific mathematics. From this study we can conclude that further research needs to be done in the area of development of perspectives on elementary mathematics education.

In this paper, the difficulties involved in analyzing and designing a management system for product development are discussed with reference to reducing the impact of products on the environment. We propose some models and methods to analyze information behavior in the process of product development based on a fusion model which integrates the assessments of users’ needs, the environment, and available technology. These models and methods are subsequently applied to the development of a new packaging material. The results of this case study allow us to identify effective information for the design of a management system for product development to reduce the impact of products on the environment.

We have studied the needs for developing plasma displays with 1080p quality and the possibilities to construct an affordable 42-inch full HD PDP. It seems impossible to get a prototype unless we overcome technical difficulties. First, we should find a way to innovatively improve luminous-efficacy and interconnection problems. At the same time, we should find a way to overcome image quality degradation in single scan.

Multimedia searching is an important activity on the Web, especially among the younger generation. The purpose of this study aims to examine college students’ multimedia information needs and searching on the Internet. While there is a clear pattern among students with respect to their multimedia uses, searching sources, relevance criteria and searching barriers, some differences exist especially according to searching of different multimedia types such as image, audio and video. For multimedia uses, information/data-focused uses are frequently found in image and video, while the use of audio is mainly for object-focused searches. As multimedia searching sources, audio and video files present a similar pattern of being high in media specific searching sources and low in generic search engines. Browsing through related blogs and homepages is an important part of searching for media files accounting for approximately 20% of total search for each media. The relevance criteria used by study participants when search for image files was primarily concerned with topicality while the contextual and media quality in the audio and video types are also considered important. Searching barriers for audio and video files are categorized into three broad aspects, including access and search quality, preview limitations and collection limitations, while obstacles for image files searching include access difficulties and low qualities of various collection.

This article describes the current status of site-based environmental education (EE) in the Republic of Korea. Implications for site-based EE program development and operation are presented and recommendations for an improvement are provided. Questionnaires were mailed to 205 schools and organizations where site-based EE programs operated in 2002 with funding from the Korean Ministry of Environment. The questionnaire was designed and used to examine the scope, operation, and needs of site-based EE programs. The response rate was 27.3%. The results of the survey indicated that 'awareness', 'participation', and 'attitude' were addressed by the program goals and objectives more than 'knowledge' and 'skills'. The survey also indicated that activities in the programs were not variable and most were teacher/instructor-centered. Most of the programs reflected the 'connection with everyday life, direct experience and sensitivity'. There were some difficulties in motivating students and finding a good location and qualified instructional staff. Needs included well-designed program development and dissemination, professional development, increased funding support, and more effective program evaluation.
