We frequently use search engines to find relevant information in the Web but still end up with too much information. In order to solve this problem of information overload, ranking algorithms have been applied to various domains. As more information will be available in the future, effectively and efficiently ranking search results will become more critical. In this paper, we propose a ranking algorithm for the Semantic Web resources, specifically RDF resources. Traditionally, the importance of a particular Web page is estimated based on the number of key words found in the page, which is subject to manipulation. In contrast, link analysis methods such as Google's PageRank capitalize on the information which is inherent in the link structure of the Web graph. PageRank considers a certain page highly important if it is referred to by many other pages. The degree of the importance also increases if the importance of the referring pages is high. Kleinberg's algorithm is another link-structure based ranking algorithm for Web pages. Unlike PageRank, Kleinberg's algorithm utilizes two kinds of scores: the authority score and the hub score. If a page has a high authority score, it is an authority on a given topic and many pages refer to it. A page with a high hub score links to many authoritative pages. As mentioned above, the link-structure based ranking method has been playing an essential role in World Wide Web(WWW), and nowadays, many people recognize the effectiveness and efficiency of it. On the other hand, as Resource Description Framework(RDF) data model forms the foundation of the Semantic Web, any information in the Semantic Web can be expressed with RDF graph, making the ranking algorithm for RDF knowledge bases greatly important. The RDF graph consists of nodes and directional links similar to the Web graph. As a result, the link-structure based ranking method seems to be highly applicable to ranking the Semantic Web resources. However, the information space of the Semantic Web is more complex than that of WWW. For instance, WWW can be considered as one huge class, i.e., a collection of Web pages, which has only a recursive property, i.e., a 'refers to' property corresponding to the hyperlinks. However, the Semantic Web encompasses various kinds of classes and properties, and consequently, ranking methods used in WWW should be modified to reflect the complexity of the information space in the Semantic Web. Previous research addressed the ranking problem of query results retrieved from RDF knowledge bases. Mukherjea and Bamba modified Kleinberg's algorithm in order to apply their algorithm to rank the Semantic Web resources. They defined the objectivity score and the subjectivity score of a resource, which correspond to the authority score and the hub score of Kleinberg's, respectively. They concentrated on the diversity of properties and introduced property weights to control the influence of a resource on another resource depending on the characteristic of the property linking the two resources. A node with a high objectivity score becomes the object of many RDF triples, and a node with a high subjectivity score becomes the subject of many RDF triples. They developed several kinds of Semantic Web systems in order to validate their technique and showed some experimental results verifying the applicability of their method to the Semantic Web. Despite their efforts, however, there remained some limitations which they reported in their paper. First, their algorithm is useful only when a Semantic Web system represents most of the knowledge pertaining to a certain domain. In other words, the ratio of links to nodes should be high, or overall resources should be described in detail, to a certain degree for their algorithm to properly work. Second, a Tightly-Knit Community(TKC) effect, the phenomenon that pages which are less important but yet densely connected have higher scores than the ones that are more important but sparsely connected, remains as problematic. Third, a resource may have a high score, not because it is actually important, but simply because it is very common and as a consequence it has many links pointing to it. In this paper, we examine such ranking problems from a novel perspective and propose a new algorithm which can solve the problems under the previous studies. Our proposed method is based on a class-oriented approach. In contrast to the predicate-oriented approach entertained by the previous research, a user, under our approach, determines the weights of a property by comparing its relative significance to the other properties when evaluating the importance of resources in a specific class. This approach stems from the idea that most queries are supposed to find resources belonging to the same class in the Semantic Web, which consists of many heterogeneous classes in RDF Schema. This approach closely reflects the way that people, in the real world, evaluate something, and will turn out to be superior to the predicate-oriented approach for the Semantic Web. Our proposed algorithm can resolve the TKC(Tightly Knit Community) effect, and further can shed lights on other limitations posed by the previous research. In addition, we propose two ways to incorporate data-type properties which have not been employed even in the case when they have some significance on the resource importance. We designed an experiment to show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm and the validity of ranking results, which was not tried ever in previous research. We also conducted a comprehensive mathematical analysis, which was overlooked in previous research. The mathematical analysis enabled us to simplify the calculation procedure. Finally, we summarize our experimental results and discuss further research issues.

This study concerns itself with the development of a new model of comprehensive health service for rural communities of Korea. The study was conceived to resolve the problems of both underservice in rural communities and underutilization of valuable health manpower, namely the nurses, the disenchanted elite health personnel in Korea. On review of the current situation, the greatest deficiencies in the Korean health care system were found in the availability of primary care at the peripheries of md communities, in the dissemination of knowledge of disease prevention and health care, and in the induction of and guidance for active participation by the clientele in health maintenance at the personal, family and community level Abundant untapped health resources were identified that could be brough to bear upon the national effort to extend health services to every member of the Korean Population. Therefore, it was Postulated that the problem of underservice in rural communities of Korea can be structurcturally resolved by the effective mobilization and organization of untapped health resources, and that. a primary care Nursing Service System offers the best possibility for fulfillment of rural health service goals within the current health man-power situation. In order to identify appropriate strategies to combat the present difficulties in Korean rural health services and to utilize nurses and other health personnel in community-centered health programs, a search was made for examples of innovative service models throughout the world. An extensive literature survey and field visits to project sites both in Korea and in the United States were made. Experts in the field of world health, health service, planners, administrators, and medical and nursing practitioners in Korea, in the United States as well as visitors from other Asian countries were widely consulted. On the basis of information and inputs from these experts a new rural health service model has been constructed within the conceptual framework of community development, especially of the innovation diffusion Model. It is considered especially important that citizens in each community develop capacities for self-care with assistance and supports from available health professionals and participate in health service-related decisions that affect their own well-being. The proposed model is based upon the regionalization of health care planning utilizing a comprehensive Nursing Service System at the immediate delivery level The model features: (1) a health administration unit at each administrative level; (2) mechanisms for community participation; (3) a continuous source of primary health care at the local community level; (4) relative centralization of specialty care and provision of tertiary or super-specialty care only at major national metropolitan centers; and (5) a system for patient referral to the appropriate level of care. This model has been built around professional nurses as the key community health workers because their training is particularly suited and because large numbers of well-trained nurses are currently available and being trained. The special element in this model is a professional nurse-guided, self-care facilitating primary care Community Nursing Service System. This is supported by a Nursing Extension Service as a new training and support structure. (See attached diagrams). A broad spectrum of programs was proposed for the Community Nursing Service System. These were designed to establish a balance of activities between the clinic-centered individual care component and the field activity-centered educational and supportive component of health care services. Examples of possible program alternatives and proposed guidelines for health care in specific situations were presented, as well as the roles and functions of the key health personnel within the Community Nursing Service System. This Rural Health Service Model was proposed as a real alternative to the maldistributed, inequitable, uncoordinated solo-practice, physician-centered fee-for-service health care available to Koreans today.

Within the traditional medical delivery system, patients residing in medically vulnerable areas, those with body movement difficulties, and nursing facility residents have had limited access to good healthcare services. However, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides us with a convenient and useful means of overcoming distance and time constraints. ICT is integrated with biomedical science and technology in a way that offers a new high-quality medical service. As a result, rapid technological advancement is expected to play a pivotal role bringing about innovation in a wide range of medical service areas, such as medical management, testing, diagnosis, and treatment; offering new and improved healthcare services; and effecting dramatic changes in current medical services. The increase in aging population and chronic diseases has caused an increase in medical expenses. In response to the increasing demand for efficient healthcare services, a telehealth service based on ICT is being emphasized on a global level. Telehealth services have been implemented especially in pilot projects and system development and technological research. With the service about to be implemented in earnest, it is necessary to study its overall acceptance by consumers, which is expected to contribute to the development and activation of a variety of services. In this sense, the study aims at positively examining the structural relationship among the acceptance factors for telehealth services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected by showing audiovisual material on telehealth services to online panels and requesting them to respond to a structured questionnaire sheet, which is known as the information acceleration method. Among the 1,165 adult respondents, 608 valid samples were finally chosen, while the remaining were excluded because of incomplete answers or allotted time overrun. In order to test the reliability and validity of the assessment scale items, we carried out reliability and factor analyses, and in order to explore the causal relation among potential variables, we conducted a structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS 7.0 and SPSS 17.0. The research outcomes are as follows. First, service quality, innovativeness of medical technology, and social influence were shown to affect perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the telehealth service, which was statistically significant, and the two factors had a positive impact on willingness to accept the telehealth service. In addition, social influence had a direct, significant effect on intention to use, which is paralleled by the TAM used in previous research on technology acceptance. This shows that the research model proposed in the study effectively explains the acceptance of the telehealth service. Second, the research model reveals that information privacy concerns had a insignificant impact on perceived ease of use of the telehealth service. From this, it can be gathered that the concerns over information protection and security are reduced further due to advancements in information technology compared to the initial period in the information technology industry, and thus the improvement in quality of medical services appeared to ensure that information privacy concerns did not act as a prohibiting factor in the acceptance of the telehealth service. Thus, if other factors have an enormous impact on ease of use and usefulness, concerns over these results in the initial period of technology acceptance may become irrelevant. However, it is clear that users' information privacy concerns, as other studies have revealed, is a major factor affecting technology acceptance. Thus, caution must be exercised while interpreting the result, and further study is required on the issue. Numerous information technologies with outstanding performance and innovativeness often attract few consumers. A revised bill for those urgently in need of telehealth services is about to be approved in the national assembly. As telemedicine is implemented between doctors and patients, a wide range of systems that will improve the quality of healthcare services will be designed. In this sense, the study on the consumer acceptance of telehealth services is meaningful and offers strong academic evidence. Based on the implications, it can be expected to contribute to the activation of telehealth services. Further study is needed to assess the acceptance factors for telehealth services, such as motivation to remain healthy, health care involvement, knowledge on health, and control of health-related behavior, in order to develop unique services according to the categorization of customers based on health factors. In addition, further study may focus on various theoretical cognitive behavior models other than the TAM, such as the health belief model.

The purpose of this study was to develop measures for establishing and enforcing legal nutrition labeling for Takju based on results from consumer awareness surveys, statistical model development, and evaluation of nutrients. The statistical model developed with consumer survey results showed that consumers would like to know the nutrients they intake from drinking Takju, as their awareness about Takju was low. Specifically, consumers would like to see information regarding alcohol content, calories, carbohydrates, and saccharides on the label. Structural equations from the research model showed that consumers who had some knowledge of Takju also had positive thoughts of the nutrition fact labels for Takju. Evaluation of nutrients in Takju showed that the starch sources and other ingredients used in Takju fermentation did not influence nutrient facts, and nutrient concentrations also varied among the different Takju. In addition, this research suggests methods for consumers to make reasonable selections and to inform them of the nutrition fact labeling for Takju. Benners and pop-up were manufactured to promote voluntary participation of companies and to provide nutrition facts from Takju. Eventually, a measure was suggested to establish and enforce nutrition labeling, using results from consumer and nutrient surveys of Takju.

이 논문은 우리나라의 광고에 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 화장품 광고에서 광고모델 속성이 여성 소비자의 화장품 구매에 미치는 영향에 대한 실증적인 연구이다. 그 결과 소비자들은 광고 모델 속성에 대해서 신체적 매력 보다 전문성과 진실성이 있어야 한다고 응답하였다. 광고 모델이 좋아서 화장품을 구입한 경우, 호감과 신체적 매력은 매우 긍정적인 반응으로 나타났고, 전문성과 진실성은 부정적인 반응으로 나타났다. 여성 소비자들은 현재 광고되고 있는 화장품 광고 모델들에 대해서 관심은 있으나 모델들의 신뢰도가 부족하여 구매에 영향을 미치지 못하고 있다. 우리나라의 화장품 광고 모텔은 대부분 유명 연예인이기 때문에 신체적 매력, 호감, 친밀감은 높은 긍정적 반응을 보이고 있으나, 전문성, 진실성, 유사성은 매우 부정적인 반응을 나타내고 있다. 그러므로 화장품 광고 모델 유형에 따른 모델 속성을 실증적으로 연구한다는 것이 다소 무리였다고 생각된다. 화장품은 감성적으로 선택되며 자기 관여도가 높은 제품이므로 광고하는 제품에 대한 지식·경험·능력을 가진 전문성이 연상되는 모델의 선정이 바람직하다고 본다. 그리고, 제품에 대한 어떤 편견도 없이 순수하게, 객관적으로 의견을 제시할 수 있는 진실성과 제품·소비자와 이미지가 일치하는 광고모델이 적합하다고 본다.

지난 20세기 우리나라는 단시간 내에 산업화를 이룩하여 세계 12위의 주요 경제국으로 올라섰으나, 압축 성장은 사회의 모든 부문에 심각한 불균형을 초래했으며, 특히 수도권과 경부선축 중심의 발전전략은 지역경제 간의 불균형발전, 수도권 과밀화로 인한 각종 사회 경제적 문제를 노정시키고 있다. 국민의 정부 이후 행정수도 이전, 공공기관 및 연구기관의 지방이전 정책 등을 추진하고, 지역특화산업의 도출을 통한 중소기업의 육성 및 장려, 지역 균형발전을 도모하고자 하나, 중앙정부와 지방자치단체, 각종 이해집단의 이견으로 통합적이고 조화로운 지역균형발전에 대한 해법을 제시하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 정부의 지역 간, 산업체간 균형발전이라는 국정목표를 수행함에 있어 우리나라 지역산업 발전의 근간을 이루고 있는 중소기업의 자생적, 창의적 발전을 위한 지역균형발전 모형을 제시함으로써, 조화롭고 통합된 국가산업정책을 도모하고, 나아가 동북아 중심국가 실현의 기초를 제공하고자 한다. 그간 우리나라의 지역 중소기업정책은 수도권에 대한 입지규제와 지방에서의 하드 인프라스트럭처 구축을 중심으로 중앙정부의 하향식 정책 집행에 의해 추진되어 왔다. 정책의 유기적 연계성이 결여된 상태에서 부처별로 예산집행이 이루어짐으로써, 지역의 입지여건에 적합한 산업군집의 형성을 통한 지역경쟁력의 강화가 효율적으로 이루어지지 못한 것이 주지의 사실로, 본 연구는 지식기반경제 하에서의 지역 중소기업정책의 의미와 지역균형발전 모형의 구축 방안, 그리고 이에 근거한 지역의 중소기업발전 방안을 제시하였다.

단백질 상호작용의 예측 및 실험 결과가 대용량으로 배포되면서 바이오 정보 기술 연구자들은 생명체 내의 단백질 상호작용 네트워크를 구성하기 위해 노력하여 왔다. 일반적으로 대용량의 상호작용 데이터들은 많은 오류를 포함한다고 알려져 있으나, 최근 단백질의 물리 화학적 특성 및 구조를 기반으로 한 방법들이 실제 실험과 병행되어 고화질(High resolution)의 결과를 제공하게 되면서, 특정 종에 대한 단백질 상호작용 네트워크가 점차 완성되고 있다. 그러나, 단순 물리적 링크 수준의 단백질 상호작용 네트워크만으로는 특정 병원체의 발병 메커니즘 규명 등과 같은 응용분야의 활용에 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 보고된 신호 전달 경로(signaling transduction pathway)를 이용하여 단백질 기능 간의 관계를 방향성이 있는 그래프로 표현한 단백질 기능 흐름 모델을 제시한다. 제안하는 모델은 Gene Ontology에서 정의된 molecular function을 정점(vertex)으로 가지고 이들 사이의 관계를 간선(edge)으로 표현함으로써 특정 기능의 전이를 살펴볼 수 있다. 이러한 기능 흐름 모델은 수 만개의 정점(vertex)으로 구성된 단백질 상호작용 네트워크에서 의미 있는 경로를 추출하는 데에 제약 혹은 참조 조건으로 사용될 수 있어 향후 활용도가 클 것으로 기대한다. 평가는 KEGG에서 제공되는 11개의 인간 신호 전달 경로 각각에 대하여 대상 경로를 제외한 나머지로부터 생성된 모델과의 크론바하 알파 계수(Cronbach's alpha)를 측정하였고(${\alpha}=0.67$), 총 1023개의 흐름 중 ${\alpha}=0.6$ 이상의 신뢰도에 대하여 총 765개의 흐름을 가지는 기능 흐름 모델을 최종 구성하였다.
