This research aims to identify the determinants of e-government satisfaction in Hanoi, Vietnam, and assess their impact. To collect data, we conducted an online questionnaire with citizens living in Hanoi in a time span of five weeks. We received 1,107 responses, divided into three groups: unaware, known, but not used, and used e-government. After leveraging past studies on satisfaction in different contexts, we arrived at six external variables that are of particular relevance to e-government satisfaction (i.e., efficiency, trust, reliability, convenience, citizen support, and transparency) as well as four control variables (i.e., age, gender, education level, and Internet frequency). We then applied both SPSS 22 and STATA 2016 to process and analyze the collected data and found that, while almost all external variables are statistically significant, all four control variables are not. Apart from convenience and trust, four factors - efficiency, reliability, citizens support, transparency - are important measures of system quality, information quality, service quality and relative benefits of e-government, which in turn positively and significantly impact citizens' satisfaction with the online public services. Furthermore, the efficiency variable has the most influence on customer satisfaction, and the level of impact on the dependent variable decreases in the following order: citizen support, reliability and transparency.

Purpose: This study was done to examine whether depression, self-esteem, and social support influence suicidal ideation among college students. Methods: Using a correlation study design, participants were recruited from two universities selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected from June 1, to August 31, 2014 from the 206 participants included in the study. The data were analyzed using SPSS / Win 18.0. Results: There was a significant correlation between depression, self esteem, social support, and suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation was negatively correlated with self-esteem (r=-.64, p<.001) and social support (r=-.45, p<.001), while, suicidal ideation showed a positive correlation with depression (r=.69, p<.001). The significant predictors related to suicidal ideation were depression, self-esteem, and social support. Conclusion: Findings indicate that sensitively assessing depression in college students and efforts to reduce depression can reduce the risk of suicide. Self-esteem and social support of college students are also important resources for suicide prevention.

This study is about the change in the importance of shopping value for beauty products of social commerce due to the social crisis or risk caused by COVID-19. It was analyzed focusing on whether the importance of shopping value changed before and after COVID-19. We checked the importance of shopping value after COVID-19 through the AHP results of previous papers before COVID-19, and analyzed the importance by adding variables of risk reduction behavior and delivery convenience according to the situation of COVID-19. The AHP method was used to check the change in the importance of shopping value before and after COVID-19, and the study was conducted using 48 data. The results were as follows. As for the importance of shopping value of social commerce beauty products, it was ranked in the order of time convenience, convenience of delivery, third-ranked trust business operators, fourth-ranked economic aspects, fifth-ranked decision support, sixth-ranked risk reduction behavior, and seventh-ranked business reputation. Compared to previous studies, decision-making support, which was in the second place, fell to the fifth place. This result was confirmed to be a drop in ranking due to the improvement of delivery convenience due to the influence of COVID-19. In addition, in the case of beauty products, it was confirmed that risk reduction behavior related to COVID-19 infection is not a key factor in shopping value. These results confirmed changes in the importance of shopping value compared to pre-COVID-19 studies, and in the case of product groups other than beauty products, further studies are expected as there is a possibility of other results.

슬관절의 측면 촬영 검사방법에서 기존에 권고되고 있는 정 측면 자세에서 중심 X선의 입사 각도를 머리 쪽 $5{\sim}7^{\circ}$로 조정하는 방법을 검사방법 A, 중심 X선이 슬관절 강을 향해 검사대의 수평면과 수직으로 입사하는 방법을 검사방법 B, 경골 원위부(distal tibia)의 바깥 면(lateral side)을 방사선 투과성 물질(radiolucent materials)로 보상한(compensated) 상태에서 중심 X선을 관절 강에 수직 입사하는 방법을 검사방법 C로 분류하였다. 연구 대상자들을 분류하여 3가지 검사방법을 각각 시행한 후, 검사영상에서 관절 강 거리(joint space distance)와 양측과의 거리(both condyle distance)를 정량적 지표로 설정하여 이를 측정하고 비교하였다. 또한 각 검사방법의 편의성을 검사자(Practician)들을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 확인하였다. 정량적 지표의 측정 결과 검사방법 A와 C는 통계적 분석 결과 특징적인 차이가 없었지만(p>0.05), 검사 방법 B는 A와 C 모두에서 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 검사방법의 편의성을 평가한 결과, 검사방법 A가 모든 항목에서 검사방법 B, C 보다 상대적으로 점수가 낮게 평가되었고, 검사방법 B와 C는 근소한 차이로 B가 높은 평가를 받았다. 본 연구를 통해 제안한 간단한 보조기구(support device)를 이용한 슬관절 측면 촬영 검사방법은 다소 복잡한 준비과정 없이도 기존의 권고 방법과 큰 차이가 없는 관절 강의 묘사가 가능하고, 검사의 진행과정에서 검사자의 편의성을 증가시킬 수 있었다.

stereolithography is a process used to rapidly produce polymer components directly from a computer representation of the part. There are several considerations to be made for the efficient use of the process. Especially, the necessity of support structures, which prevent the part from warping, sagging, or parachuting and toppling as the elevator moves up and down in the resin, is one concern. After solidification, the support structures must by removed in the end. Bacause this post-treatment process is often performed manually, the more the support structures, the more it increases the finishing operations. Especially for a complicated part, the removal operations may be difficult, take so much time, and even reduce the accuracy of the product. Thus it is important to efficiently generate the efficient support structure for each part geometry. This paper proposes a procedure to automatically generate the supprot structures focused on accuracy, efficiency, convenience, and generation speed.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the perceived physical environments of hotel kitchens influence cooking employees' internal responses. According to the analysis results of this study, except Hypothesis 2 which was rejected in this study, all the hypotheses were partially accepted. These results support the research hypotheses of this study that comfort, spatiality, and convenience as physical environments will have significant effects on emotional response and cognitive response. Also, equipment use as convenience had statistically significant effects on both emotional response and cognitive response whereas working environment as comfort and kitchen circulation and working space as spatiality had no effect. Therefore, kitchen environment should be set up in the direction of guaranteeing kitchen convenience to the maximum, and the further researches on the constituent factors which have no effect on emotional response and cognitive response should be proceeded continuously.

The purpose of the study was to investigate social support, depression, drinking and smoking in college and working females. The convenience sample consisted of 169 college females and 133 working females. Data were collected from March to May, 2000. Social support was measured by the 6-item Social Support Questionnaire which assesses the size of the emotional social support network and satisfaction with social support. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale was utilized to measure the level of depression symptoms. The average number of drinks and cigarettes smoked per week during the previous month was assessed. Results indicated that college students had more social support than working females. However, there were no significant differences in satisfaction with their support, depression, drinking and smoking between two groups. College females who smoked cigarettes were more depressed and had less social support than those who did not smoke. Also college females who drank alcohol were more depressed than those who did not drink during the previous month. However, the level of social support and depression were not associated with drinking and smoking among working females. Based on the results, it is suggested the application of various interventions to deal with drinking and smoking behavior among college and working females.
