Effectiveness is a major concern in organizations of all sorts. Library researchers have been particularly active recently in trying to define, measure, and promote library effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to place library effectiveness in the context of theoretical and empirical work on organizational effectiveness. Four major approaches to organizational effectiveness can be identified. The goal model defines an effective organizations as one that meets its goals. The system resource model emphasizes the organization's need to acquire resources from its environment. The process model sees organizations as social systems seeking to survive and maintain their equilibrium. The multiple constituencies defines effectiveness as the degree to which the needs and expectations of strategic constituencies are met. These models are not necessarily contradictory but may be seen as emphasizing different aspects of organizational performance or values. This study also reports four findings of the library effectiveness. They are significant as the empirical investigation into the dimensions of the construct of library effectiveness. The result shows that organizational effectiveness of libraries is, indeed, a multidimensional construct, implying that no single measure of effectiveness is sufficient to describe an organization.

Current studies validate the Body Positive Scale (BP Scale) as a self-assessment instrument that captures four dimensions of the positive body image construct. We developed and evaluated a 17-item BP Scale using two focus group interviews and four independent samples (n = 1,379) of Korean women who completed online survey questionnaires. We generated an initial pool of items via literature review, content validation with experts, and focus group interviews, subsequently refining the items through exploratory analysis (Study 1). We confirmed the BP Scale's underlying dimensions with young Korean female samples (Study 2, Study 4) and with a community sample (Study 3). We also examined the construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability over a six-week interval. Overall, the results supported that the four-factor BP Scale demonstrates adequate validity and reliability in measuring positive body image among Korean women. The BP Scale provides a method for researchers and practitioners to understand and assess individuals' positive body image in a multifaceted manner.

This study investigated difference of product interest and its relation to consumers' innate innovativeness according to gender as well as compared the perceptive construct of products between male and female consumers. A survey involving male and female college students was conducted in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas in December 2013. Subsequently, 400 responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, independent sample t-test, reliability analysis, ANCOVA, and multidimensional scaling. Among 45 products, male respondents showed a significantly high degree of interest over 12 categories such as watches, desktop computers, cars, sports products, and video games compared to females. The female sample showed a significantly high degree of interest for 29 product categories such as clothing, movies, skin care shops, cosmetics, eating-out, teeth whitening, coffee, cameras, and performances compared to males. Innovative male consumers were interested in traveling, movies, clothing, eating-out, running shoes, and wallets; however, female consumers' innovativeness was significantly related to previously determined items of interest. Two dimensions explaining the male consumers' products perception construct were 'hard versus soft' and 'usual versus special'. Instead, female consumers' were 'special versus usual' and 'expressive versus functional'.

본 논문에서는 XML 데이터베이스에서 XML 질의처리를 효율적으로 지원하기 위한 다차원 타입상속 색인구조(MD-TIX)들의 계층적 구성기법을 제시한다. MD-TIX는 중첩요소와 여러 타입상속 계층으로 이루어진 중첩술어의 조상-자손 관계 탐색을 효율적으로 지원하기 위하여 다차원 색인구조를 이용하는 색인기법이다. 그러나 이러한 MD-TIX는 질의에 주어진 Xpath의 길이가 긴 경우에 색인 엔트리의 구성문제 때문에 색인구조의 구축과 유지관리에 어려움이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 먼저 주어진 Xpath에서 인접한 두 타입 사이의 직접 관계 탐색을 지원하는 기본 색인구조들을 구축하고, 이들을 바탕으로 Xpath상의 임의의 두 타입 사이의 간접 관계 탐색을 지원하는 유도 색인구조들을 구축한다. 이러한 과정을 전체 길이의 Xpath를 지원하는 하나의 목표 색인구조를 구축하기까지 계층적으로 구성하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 Xpath 상에 주어진 몇 개의 부경로 탐색만을 지원하기 위한 부분적인 색인계층을 효율적으로 구축하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Background: Work-related fatigue has a strong impact on performance and safety but so far, no agreed upon method exists to detect and quantify it. It has been suggested that work-related fatigue cannot be quantified with just one test alone, possibly because fatigue is not a uniform construct. The purpose of this study is therefore to measure work-related fatigue with multiple tests and then to determine the underlying factorial structure. Methods: Twenty-eight employees (mean: 36.11; standard deviation 13.17) participated in five common fatigue tests, namely, posturography, heart rate variability, distributed attention, simple reaction time, and subjective fatigue before and after work. To evaluate changes from morning to afternoon, t tests were conducted. For further data analysis, the differences between afternoon and morning scores for each outcome measure and participant (${\Delta}$ scores) were submitted to factor analysis with varimax rotation and each factor with the highest-loading outcome measure was selected. The ${\Delta}$ scores from tests with single and multiple outcome measures were submitted for a further factor analysis with varimax rotation. Results: The statistical analysis of the multiple tests determine a factorial structure with three factors: The first factor is best represented by center of pressure (COP) path length, COP confidence area, and simple reaction time. The second factor is associated with root mean square of successive difference and useful field of view (UFOV). The third factor is represented by the single ${\Delta}$ score of subjective fatigue. Conclusion: Work-related fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon that should be assessed by multiple tests. Based on data structure and practicability, we recommend carrying out further studies to assess work-related fatigue with manual reaction time and UFOV Subtest 2.

실생활에서 얻어지는 자료에서 근사함수를 구성하기 위하여 모델링을 하기 전에 측정된 원자료로부터 이상치를 제거하는 것이 필요하다. 기존의 이상치 진단의 방법들은 시각화나 최대 잔차들을 이용해왔다. 그러나 종종 다차원의 입력자료를 가지는 비선형함수에 대한 이상치 진단은 좋지 않은 결과를 얻었다. 다차원 입력자료를 갖는 비선형함수에 대한 전형적인서포트 벡터 회귀에 기초한 이상치 진단방법들은 좋은 수행능력을 얻어지지만, 계산비용이나 모수들의 보정 등의 실질적인 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 계산비용을 감소하고 이상치의 문턱을 적절히 정의하는 서포트 벡터회귀를 이용한 이상치 진단의 실질적인방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 실제자료들에 적용하여 타당성을 보일 것이다.

본 논문에서는 객체지향 데이터베이스의 중포속성에 대한 색인기법으로 다차원 색인구조를 이용하는 다차원 중포속성 색인기법은 MD-NAI를 제안한다. 중포석성에 대한 기존의 색인기법들은 중포된 객체에 대한 기존의 색인기법들은 B+-tree와 같은 일차원 색인구조를 이용함으로써, 클래스 계층과 중포속성이 포함된 복합 형태의 질의들에 대한 처리를 잘 지원하지 못한다. MD-NAI에서는 객체지향 데이터베이스의 클래스 계층에 대한 색인기법인 이차원 클래스 계층 색인기법(2D-CHI)을 다차원으로 확장한다. 2D-CHI는 키 속성 도메인과 클래스 식별자 도메인으로 구성된 이차원 도메인 공간상에서 객체들의 클러스터링을 다루는 색인기법이다. 본 논문의 MD-NAI에서는 색인된 중포속성을 표현하는 경로상의 각 클래스 계층마다 하나의 클래스 식별자 도메인을 할당하여 구성된 다차원 도메인 공간상에서 색인 엔트리들의 클러스터링을 다룬다. 따라서, MD-NAI에서는 기존의 색인기법에서 지원하기 어려운 질의의 대상 범위 클래스 계층상의 임의의 클래스들로 제한되거나, 질의에 포함된 복합속성들의 도메인이 클래스 계층상의 임의의 클래스들로 제한되는 경우에도 잘 지원할 수 있다.

본 연구는 전겸구 등(2000)이 개발한 개정판 다차원적 대처척도(Revised Multidimensional Coping Scale; MCS-R)의 타당도와 신뢰도를 평가하기 위하여 실시된 방법론적 연구이다. 자료 수집은 금연집단상담에 참여한 대학생 198명을 대상으로 실시되었고, 탐색적 요인분석을 통해 구성타당도, 우울과 극복력 도구를 이용하여 수렴타당도를 확인하였다. MCS-R의 요인구조를 주성분 분석방법, 직교 회전으로 분석한 결과, 동일하게 13개의 요인이 확인되었으나, 정서적 진정, 긍정적 해석, 적극적 망각 3개의 요인에서 요인을 구성하는 문항이 다르게 나타났다. 그러나 13개의 요인 모두 요인적재량이 0.40이상으로 나타났고, 13의 요인에 의해 설명된 총 분산은 69.7%로 높았고, 각 하위영역의 내적 일관성(0.66-0.94)과 검사-재검사 신뢰도(0.44-0.85)는 적절하였다. 개정판 다차원적 대처척도는 개인의 대처방식을 측정하기에 적합한 도구이며, 향후 스트레스 대처를 위한 효과적 개입을 위한 계획 수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

The joint probability distribution of uncertain geomechanical parameters of geotechnical strata is a crucial aspect in constructing the reliability functional function for roof structures. However, due to the limited number of on-site exploration and test data samples, it is challenging to conduct a scientifically reliable analysis of roof geotechnical strata. This study proposes a Copula method based on small sample exploration and test data to construct the intensity characteristics of roof geotechnical strata. Firstly, the theory of multidimensional copula is systematically introduced, especially the construction of four-dimensional Gaussian copula. Secondly, data from measurements of 176 groups of geomechanical parameters of roof geotechnical strata in 31 coal mines in China are collected. The goodness of fit and simulation error of the four-dimensional Gaussian Copula constructed using the Pearson method, Kendall method, and Spearman methods are analyzed. Finally, the fitting effects of positive and negative correlation coefficients under different copula functions are discussed respectively. The results demonstrate that the established multidimensional Gaussian Copula joint distribution model can scientifically represent the uncertainty of geomechanical parameters in roof geotechnical strata. It provides an important theoretical basis for the study of reliability functional functions for roof structures. Different construction methods for multidimensional Gaussian Copula yield varying simulation effects. The Kendall method exhibits the best fit in constructing correlations of geotechnical parameters. For the bivariate Copula fitting ability of uncertain parameters in roof geotechnical strata, when the correlation is strong, Gaussian Copula demonstrates the best fit, and other Copula functions also show remarkable fitting ability in the region of fixed correlation parameters. The research results can offer valuable reference for the stability analysis of roof geotechnical engineering.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test psychometric properties the Korean version of the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (KESRD-AQ). The ESRD-AQ, a 46-item, multidimensional, self-administrated questionnaire which was developed to assess treatment adherence to hemodialysis (HD) attendance, medications, fluid restrictions, and diet prescription among patients on maintenance hemodialysis, has been validated. Methods: The KESRD-AQ was developed by performing both translation and backtranslation. The content validity and test- retest reliability of the KESRD-AQ were evaluated by establishing item-level content validity index (I-CVI) and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), respectively. Construct validity was assessed by adopting a known-group analysis comparing adheres and non-adherers using Mann-Whitney U Test. Results: 41 Korean-American patients with ESRD on HD from 3 outpatient dialysis centers in California participated in the study. The KESRD-AQ showed excellent content validity (average I-CVI=.96) and test-retest reliability (ICC=.917, p=.004). The construct validity indicated that the KESRD-AQ distinguished adheres and non-adheres (p=.02~.047). Conclusion: The KESRD-AQ is a valid and reliable instrument to measure treatment adherence.
