Stress at work and in the family is a very common issue in our society that generates many health-related problems. During recent years, numerous studies have sought to define the term stress, raising many contradictions that various authors have studied. Other authors have attempted to establish some criteria, in subjective and not very quantitative ways, in an attempt to reduce and even to eliminate stressors and their effects at work and in the family context. The purpose of this study was to quantify so-called cushioning variables, such as control, social support, home/work life conciliation, and even sports and leisure activities, with the purpose of, as much as possible, reducing the negative effects of stress, which seriously affects the health of workers. The study employs data from the Fifth European Working Conditions Survey, in which nearly 44,000 interviewees from 34 countries in the European Union participated. We constructed a probabilistic model based on a Bayesian network, using variables from both the workplace and the family, the aforementioned cushioning variables, as well as the variable stress. If action is taken on the above variables, then the probabilities of suffering high levels of stress may be reduced. Such action may improve the quality of life of people at work and in the family.

Development of technology in the $20^{th}$ century has made great contributions to women's lives. With the development of digital convergence, home network, and DMBs (Distance Method Bracings), the ubiquitous technology information era is expected to create a new progressive era for women. The purpose of this study is to investigate the lifestyle that Korean women would like to pursue, especially in regards to the sense of value within the personal and social life of each individual. As a method to suggest how the socio-cultural trends of women's lifestyle will change in the ubiquitous era, qualitative interviews have been conducted over 6 groups with 77 persons between the digital ages of 20s and 30s, living in Seoul. The majority had positive opinions regarding the economic, cultural, emotional, and physical prospects of the ubiquitous information environment. Results show high expectations evolved around freedom from household chores, the equality between the sexes (at home and in society), enhancing the working environment at home, an expansion of human relationships leading to creative knowledge, being able to maintain a single life without economic constraints, and the enjoyment that the internet provides. for suggestions to improve the quality of women's lifestyle through ubiquitous technology, issues such as individual based customization, time management, creating emotional hyperspaces, multi-media communication systems, and women as leaders were studied.

Recently, as Social Network Services(SNS), such as Twitter, Facebook, are becoming more popular, much research has been doing actively. However, since SNS has been launched recently, related researches are also infant level. Especially, search engines serviced in web potals simply show the postings in order of upload time. Searching the postings in Twitter should be different from web search, which is based on traditional TF-IDF. In this paper, we present the new method of searching and ranking the interesting postings in Twitter. In proposed method, we utilize the frequency of retweets as a major factor for estimating the quality of postings. It can be an important criteria since users tend to retweet the valuable postings. Experimental results show that proposed method can be applied successfully in Twitter search system.

Recently, as Social Network Services(SNS), such as Twitter, Facebook, are becoming more popular, much research has been doing on opinion mining. However, current related researches are mostly focused on sentiment classification or feature selection, but there were few studies about opinion document retrieval. In this paper, we propose a new retrieval method of short opinion documents. Proposed method utilizes previous sentiment classification methodology, and applies several features of documents for evaluating the quality of the opinion documents. For generating the retrieval model, we adopt Learning-to-rank technique and integrate sentiment classification model to Learning-to-rank. Experimental results show that proposed method can be applied successfully in opinion search.

기업이나 단체는 고객과의 관계형성 강화와 충성도를 높이기 위해 온라인 커뮤니티를 조직 차원에서 활성화하고 있고, 개인들은 사회 연결망(social network) 강화를 위해 개인의 관심사${\cdot}$가치${\cdot}$흥미${\cdot}$문화 등에 따라 특정 온라인 커뮤니티 사이트를 통해서 다양한 정보 획득과 구성들 간의 관계를 형성해 가고 있다. 이러한 추세에 힘입어 온라인 커뮤니티 사용자들은 상호작용성을 높이기 위해 아바타를 커뮤니케이션의 전달매체로 활용하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 아바타가 웹사이트 간 신뢰전이에 어떻게 영향을 미치고, 아바타 유무와 아바타 유형에 따라 신뢰전이가 어떤 차이가 나는지를 실증분석을 통해 검증하였다. 첫째, SERI와 SERI 포럼 사이트간에 신뢰전이가 부분적으로 발생하고 있으며, SERI 포럼 내에서는 변수들간의 모든 가설이 모두 유의하게 검증되었다. 둘째, 아바타 유형에 따라 SERI와 SERI 포럼 사이트간에 신뢰전이가 발생하는데 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 모(母) 사이트의 신뢰는 자(子) 사이트의 품질요인과 포럼활동 만족도에 직${\cdot}$간접적으로 일부분 영향을 미쳤다. 다만, 중개자 신뢰는 시스템신뢰에는 유의한 영향을 주지 못하며, 피드백 메커니즘은 정보 품질과 시스템품질에 유희한 영향을 주지 못한다.

In this paper, we propose a text-centered approach to identify the research trend of thyroid cancer in Korea. We incorporate statistical analysis, text mining and machine learning techniques with our clinical insights to find connective associations between terminologies and to discover informative clusters of literatures. The incidence of thyroid cancer in Korea increased rapidly in the 2000s, which fueled the debate regarding overdiagnosis, but recently the number of patients undergoing surgery has decreased significantly due to conscious reform efforts from various circles. We analyzed the abstracts and keywords of related research papers from DBpia. It was found that most were case reports in the 1980s, and some papers in the 1990s discussed the early detection of thyroid cancer by mass screening. While many papers focused on different diagnostic techniques and the detection of small cancers in the 2000s, many emphasized more on the quality of life of patients in the 2010s. There was an apparent change in the topics of thyroid cancer research over past decades. The results of this study would serve as a reference guide for current and future research directions.

The presence of agricultural and rural society in South Korea has been threatened due to aging as well as depopulation. This study aims to explore the Japanese support scheme for new farmers and the role of local group in new farmers' successful settlement in agricultural and rural society. The case study area is Biratori-cho, Hokkaido, Japan. Firstly, this study identified the systemic support scheme for new farmers of Biratori-cho, which provides with two years' training program, mentoring, rental housing and financial aid. Secondly, we focused on the birth and the supporting role of local group, which is called 'Neo-frontier'. Lastly, we analysed the relationship of new farmers and local residents based on the in-depth interview of 11 new farmers' household. As conclusions, we emphasized the value of quality-based support scheme of local government, unlike the quantity-based policy focused on the number of in-migrants.
