Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare condition in primary diaphragmatic diseases and is found rarely in clinical experience. Diaphragmatic eventration means abnormally high position of diaphragm, which is caused acquired, paralytic or congenital, nonparalytic etiologic origins. This report is presented a symptomatic diaphragmatic eventration of 50 years old woman, who had complained coughing and left chest pain since I year ago prior to admission in Kosin Medical College, Gospel Hospital. A patient who had established accurate diagnosis at pre-operative period. There had been post-operative course uneventfully.

Prior research on knowledge management focused more on the experiential knowledge based on individual's experience or knowhow than on the analytical knowledge extracted from corporate data. This study examines the effects of the data warehouse technology, especially OLAP(on line analytical processing) and data mining techniques, on the analytical knowledge creation in organizations, linking analytical knowledge creation to data analysis method through real world case studies.

The main purpose of this work is to suggest a new approach to teaching general topology to undergraduate students. First, we change the order of contents. Usually, we introduce definitions, examples, theorems, and problems in this order. But, showing familiar examples of some concept of topology prior to the definition of one is the best method so far as I know from teaching experience of topology, which students feel very hard because of its abstractness. For more efficiency, mathematics-clubs each consisting of three or four students in topology course are established. This makes students very positive in topology class.

1) Choice of graft selection : depends on surgeon's philosophy & experience, tissue availability(anatomical anomalies, prior surgery or injury) & patient activity level & desiers. patients - educated as to potential advantage & disadvantages of each choice available to them. No one graft has been shown to be overwhelmingly superior to another. 2) High demand individual (cutting, pivoting, jumping sports, skiing) - BPTB graft choice Lower demand or older individuals - hamstring reconstruction Allograft : older individuals(45 years old) sign of arthritis(compelling evidence of instability) individual who do not want their own tissue Prosthetic ligaments - long term results : disappointing

The classical statistical approach using test data samples to estimate true value of Random Variables by calculating mean and variation (standard deviation or coefficient of variation) of samples is very useful to understand the existing condition of the structure. But with this classical approach, our prior knowledge through educational background and professional experience cannot provide any benefit to make decisions by the structural engineers. This paper shows the role of Bayesian methodology by providing chance of using valuable prior knowledge to come up with more accurate estimation of structural condition. This paper also shows how important it is to have a proper prior estimate of Random Variables and corresponding confidence level through gathering and studying more relevant information.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the college students' acceptance of PatentNOW, which was developed for effective proceeding of patent application education program. Results of this research as follow. First, perceived ease of use positively influenced perceived usefulness. Second, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use positively influenced attitude toward using and attitude toward using also positively influenced behavioral intention to use. Third, the level of prior knowledge about the patent system and experience of patent application possessed by the users of PatentNOW had a negative effect on the relationship between perceived ease of use and attitude toward using. These results suggested that the teaching method of utilizing PatentNOW should be differentiated according to the level of prior knowledge of the students in order to improve the quality of patent application education.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the Hawthorne effect on healthcare service process innovation, by investing the difference between checklist items of patients and doctors on direct clinical observations (DCO) and the retrospective clinical review (RCR). Methods: The data set consisted of 30 patients and 30 doctors respondents. T-tests were used to perform a comparative analysis of DCO and RCR items between patients and doctors by pre and post examinations. Results: The results indicate that there was a difference between the non-prior notice checklist items of the patients and doctors, while there was no difference of the post-examination checklist items between the patients and doctors. Conclusion: This study provides useful information and can be applied to the improvement of patient experience through healthcare service process innovation. The results of this study also offer practical insights about how hospitals can motivate providers to participate in healthcare service process for improved quality care by the Hawthorne effect. The study contributes to the existing knowledge of the Hawthorne effect for effective strategies for providing quality care.

This study explores the effect of moral identity on attitude toward and purchase intention of upcycled fashion products by comparing purchasers and non-purchasers. Data from 127 purchasers and 307 non-purchasers collected through a survey was analyzed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, model invariance check, and multiple-group comparison tests using Amos 23.0. Results indicate consumers with purchase experiences of upcycled fashion products showed a higher level of moral identity (internalization and symbolization), positive attitude toward upcycled fashion products, and purchase intention than did consumers with no purchase experience. In model tests, internalization affected attitude toward purchasing upcycled fashion products, whereas symbolization affected purchase intention, regardless of purchase experience. The effect of symbolization on purchase intention was consistent with prior studies focusing on charity behaviors that are highly visible to others. These findings demonstrate that fashion products are visible and symbolic, so it should be carefully considered in ethical consumption studies. From these results, researchers may obtain insights on the process of how consumers apply moral identity to their purchase intention regarding upcycled fashion products. Likewise, marketers may enhance satisfaction of consumers with a high level of symbolization by putting special tags and logos that clearly highlight the products' upcycled nature.

Mobile applications market has emerged as new business model. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors of mobile applications adoption. Based on prior studies of TAM and mobile technology/service, service quality, user experience, OS compatibility, self-efficacy, innovativeness, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and cost were identified as affecting factors of mobile applications adoption. According to the results, service quality is significantly related to the perceived usefulness, and self-efficacy and innovativeness are significantly related to the perceived ease of use. User experience was also found to be related to both the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use. In case of OS compatibility, it was found to be significantly related to the perceived ease of use, but not to the perceived usefulness. Both the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use were found to be related to the adoption of mobile applications. However, cost was not found to be significant to the relationship between the perceived usefulness/the perceived ease of use and the adoption of mobile applications. This study contributes to provide the base of activation strategies and practical implications for mobile applications.

This study aims to understand crucial factors affecting user's Fintech payment service adoption. On the basis of innovation diffusion theory and prior Fintech literature, this study classifies the influence factors of users' adoption of Fintech payment service into two dimensions - service dimension containing complexity, perceived benefit, trust in service provider and user dimension containing personal innovativeness and security breach experience. The data analysis results using binary logistic regression shows the negative direct effects of perceived risk, complexity, security accident experience on user's service adoption are statistically significant. Personal innovativeness has a positive effect on user's Fintech payment service adoption. The moderation effect of security accident experience is also significant at p<0.05.
