This study aimed to understand why small libraries, which have been continuously extended by the increase of social interest in them and the enactment of 「Promotion of Small Library Act」, an independent law about small libraries, are poorly activated. To this end, it examined the actual status of small library operation, related policies, support and legislations. By summarizing the results, it proposed a policy direction and tasks for activating small libraries. The policy tasks for activating them consist of three main tasks such as 'the improvement of laws and institutions for establishing the base of policies and securing practical momentum', 'the reestablishment of roles by policy units and the reinforcement of cooperation systems' and 'the construction of stable operation support system for small libraries', and their 14 sub-tasks, under the vision of 'the activation of small libraries support local residents' happy life' and the core value of 'a comprehensive policy ground, the innovation of policy systems and sustainable management support'.

Vast amount of XML documents raise interests in how they will be used and how far their usage can be expanded. This paper has two central goals: 1) easy and fast retrieval of XML documents or relevant elements; and 2) efficient and stable management of large-size XML documents. The keys to develop such a practical system are how to segment a large XML document to smaller fragments and how to store them. In order to achieve these goals, we designed SCOF(Service-centric Object Fragmentation) model, which is a semi-decomposition method based on conversion rules provided by XML database managers. Keyword-based search using SCOF model then retrieves the specific elements or attributes of XML documents, just as typical XML query language does. Even though this approach needs the wisdom of managers in XML document collection, SCOF model makes it efficient both retrieval and management of massive XML documents.

Recently, many interests on the ubiquitous environment and the practical technologies associated with it have been significantly increasing along with the rapid development of wireless technologies. The development of the automated systems based on the ubiquitous environment is required as the concept of the term "ubiquitous" is integrated into the fields of existing IT. In this paper, we design and implement a power-saving management system using RFID/USN technologies. It efficiently manages the power consumption of the electronic machine such as electric lights, electric heaters, and air conditioners in a building. The proposed system controls the electronic machines and monitors their status by RFID and collects the real time information about the surroundings and power consumption of the electronic machines by USN. Especially, it analyzes the real time information and supports the intelligent scheduler with the best power-saving. Finally, this paper shows the difference between the proposed system and the existing systems and the reality of our system through the real time user interface about the power-saving management.

The concepts of modern type computer are so called "General purpose, stored program and digital computer" that is proposed by Charles Babbage. ENIAC, the initial operational electronic digital computer model, was produced in 1946. During the last 50 years, an epoch-making development of the personal computer was marked. The computerization of all levels of society is going on and also computerization of the general hospital and medical college is developing. But patient data management system for clinician is not used generally. We suggest the use of computer aided data management application programs for the clinical informations of the patients of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery for better management and to make best of medical informations, to co-operate with the current of this times, and to prepare against the Hospital Information Systems[HIS], actively. Also, we suggest to standardize the format and structure of database files to store the clinical data of the patients By standardization of the database files, we can integrate and relate the data of the individual department or hospital, build up the regional or national statistics of the patients easily, and promote the generation of application programs. The medical network by the communication and computer would be utilized to collect the database files. And finally, we suggest the use of code system to input and search the informations about the diagnosis and operation such as the code system of International Classfication of Disease[WHO] and the table of the classfication of operation of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, Korea. In this article, we tried to show the new standards, the essential items for computerization of clinical informations of the patients of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.r Surgery.

Purpose: This study aimed at exploring treatment delay (TD) among cancer patients in China with an attempt to develop a practical methodology facilitating frontline Chinese clinicians in promoting earlier cancer diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: The study comprised framework development, qualitative interviews and paired factor rating. Framework development utilized systematic literature review, soft systems thinking and consensus groups. Qualitative interviews employed a checklist of open questions soliciting information about all the domains included the framework from cancer patients drawn via stratified randomized sampling of inpatients at 10 hospitals in Hefei, China. Paired factor rating used a self-developed computer aid and the interviewed patients as referring cases to weigh the relative importance of the factors listed in the framework in terms of their contributions to specific components of total delay (TD). Results: a) A conceptual framework was proposed consisting of a 6-step path to TD and 36 category determinants. b) A total of 227 patients were interviewed; their TD was 267.3 mean or 108 median days ranging from 0 to 2475 days; average appraisal, illness, behavioral, preparation and treatment delay accounted for 52.1%, 9.4%, 0.30%, 8.8% and 29.4% of the TD respectively. Individual side factors were rated substantially more important than environmental side factors (60% vs. 40%); most influential TD factors included cancer symptoms, overall health, family relations and knowledge about cancer and health. Conclusions: The framework proposed together with the interviewing and rating approaches used provide a potential new methodology for understanding cancer patients' TD and promoting earlier cancer treatment.
