The purpose of this study is to determine whether the centralization of information technology activities and the organizational structures, especially the centralization of decision making and the complexity have any effects on the information systems performance. The strategic types, the formalization dimension of organizational structures, and the industrial characteristics, which might have impacts on the dependent variables were controlled. Information systems performance was measured by both user satisfaction and organizational performance. To achieve the research objective, a field study using the structured questionnaires was employed. Thirty large companies participated in this study. Multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze the data collected. Findings of this study are summarized as follows: The centralization of IT activities, the centralization of decision making, the complexity of organizational structure and the interaction effects among these independent variables all turned out to have statistically significant effects on the user satisfaction, while not on the organizational performance. The implication of these findings is that the IT structure must be determined in congruence with the organizational structures and vice versa. One weakness of this study is that the strategic type was not an independent variable but a controlled variable. Further study of using the strategic type as an independent variable with more sample corporations is to be encouraged.

최근 국가의 향후 국방 계획이 첨단 무기체계로 향하는 만큼, 이를 위한 군 정비시설도 점점 중요해지고 있다. 하지만 현재 군 정비시설은 관리자의 경험적인 방법과 단순 수리적 계산으로 운용되고 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 좀 더 과학적이고 논리적인 방법을 이용하여 군 정비시설 운용 최적화 방법을 제시한다. 연구는 다음과 같은 절차를 따른다. 첫째, 군 정비시설 운용을 분석하여 시뮬레이션을 설계한다. 둘째, 최적화를 위해 독립변수와 종속변수를 정의한다. 독립변수는 군 정비시설 운용 세부사항으로 볼 수 있는 정비장비, 운반장비, 그리고 작업자 수이고, 종속변수는 독립변수에 영향을 받는 총 정비시간으로 결정한다. 셋째, 설계된 시뮬레이션 모델을 기준으로 Warmup 기간을 얻기 위해 Warmup 분석 한다. 넷째, 군 정비시설 운용 최적화를 위해 독립변수의 최적 조합을 메타휴리스틱인 진화전략을 이용하여 산출한다. 이 최적 조합을 통해 군 정비시설 운용은 제한된 비용 내 최대 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 향후 복수의 무기체계 장비를 정비하는 군 정비시설의 다목적 분석 연구를 할 것이다.

Purpose - This study aims to accomplish three major research goals. First, it strives to change consumers' focus from peripheral routes to a central route of public service advertising related to the good health policy, without problematic effects, by influencing consumers' knowledge or involvement. Second, this study examines the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and construal level theory (CLT). Specifically, we consider that the central route of ELM might correspond with the focal goal of CLT. Third, this study analyzes ELM through CLT. That is, ELM predicted that low involvement would take the peripheral route, and high involvement would take the central route. Research design, data, and methodology - This study consisted of three experiments. The first experiment had a 2×2 between-subject design. The subjects were university students and the research period was approximately one year. The first independent variable was the involvement of the overweight issue; this variable was measured and split by the median. The second independent variable was the temporal distance (near vs. distant future); this variable was manipulated. The second experiment also had a 2×2 between-subject design. The first variable was the involvement of cervical adenocarcinoma prevention, and was considered already manipulated by sex. Specifically, males had a low involvement of the disease, but females had high involvement. The second independent variable was priming (power vs. submissive). Power priming would induce abstract thinking, but submissive priming would take concrete processing. The third experiment had a 2×2×2 between-subject design. The first variable was cognitive depletion, and was manipulated by memorizing 9-digit numbers. The second and third independent variables were involvement and abstract thinking induction, such as prior experiments. Data were collected through questionnaires, and were analyzed by an SPSS program. Major hypotheses were tested by examining the interaction effects through ANOVA. Results - Major findings are as follows. First, even for low-involved consumers in the overweight category, distant future manipulation induced them to focus not on the peripheral route but on the central route of the public service advertisement. This result does not correspond to the typical ELM prediction. Second, under power priming, low-involved males of the cervical adenocarcinoma category focused on the peripheral route because of the induction to abstract thinking. This result replicated the first experiment, and confirmed the theoretical robustness. Third, high-involved females focused not on the central but on the peripheral route under the mixed condition of cognitive depletion and near future manipulation. Depletion consumed cognitive resources, and the processing mode of consumers changed from systematic to heuristic. Conclusions - ELM needs to be complemented through CLT in context of public service good health advertising. Specifically, the involvement of ELM may impact consumers' thinking mode (abstract vs. concrete), and the interaction effects may influence consumers' focus on advertising (central vs. peripheral route). This study's limitations were bounded subjects, limited stimuli, and somewhat weak external validity.

The purpose of this research is to introduce the concept of "relationship formation factors" in inter-firm relations and to empirically demonstrate that they are effective in improving the relationship results by means of anmediating variable. Therefore, the basic model of this study consists of the independent, mediating, and dependent variables. First, the independent variable, that is, the relationship formation factors, is further classified into three components： transactional, relational, environmental characteristics. Then, the study empirically examines how each of the three components influences the dependent variable, that is, the business performance(Load Factor), by way of the mediating variables, that is, trust and relationship commitment.

This paper considers large deflection problem of a simply supported beam with variable are length subjected to a point load. The beam has one of its ends hinged and at a fixed distance from this end propped by a frictionless support over which the beam can slide freely. This highly nonlinear flexural problem is solved by elliptic-integral method and shooting-optimization technique, thereby providing independent checks on the new solutions. Because the beam can slide freely over the frictionless support, there is a maximum or critical load which the beam can carry and it is dependent on the position of the load. Interestingly, two possible equilibrium configurations can be obtained for a given load magnitude which is less than the critical value. The maximum arc-length was found to be equal to about 2.19 times the fixed distance between the supports and this value is independent of the load position.

이 연구는 귀납법적 확증(confirmation)을 위해서 실행하는 실험이 확률론적 추론임을 밝히고 이의 단점을 보완하기 위해서 적용된 확률적 확인론에 따라서 수행하는 실험에서 통제하는 절차와 방법을 다루었다. 이 통제란 알려진 조건과 상황들을 인위적으로 조작하되 가설에서 명시된 특정조건(즉 독립변수) 이외의 조건(기타 변수)이 작용하여 현상이 발생(종속변수)될 가능성을 막는 것이다. 특정조건에 의하여 현상이 발생할 가능성을 극대화 시키고 기타 조건에 의하여 현상이 발생할 가능성을 최소화시키는 것이다. 그렇게 함으로써 특정 선행사건(독립변수)과 후행사건(종속변수) 사이의 진정한 인과관계성(the causal relationship)을 객관적으로 정확하게 추론하도록 보장하는 방법이 통제인 것이다. 이 연구에서는 변수통제에 대해 좀 더 구체적으로 다루기 위해 대표적인 헬스기구인 Elliptical Trainer (ET)와 Tread Mill (TM)를 이용한 실험에서 변수통제를 가하여 운동속도(독립변수)에 따른 에너지 소비량 변화(종속변수)와 운동속도(독립변수)에 따른 호흡교환율(RER)과 심장 박동율(HR)의 변화(종속변수)를 얻었다. 마지막으로 이 통제를 통해 얻어진 실험결과들을 그래프로 그려 그 결과에 따라 연구의 결론이 다루어졌다.

교과서의 실험을 제목에 변인이 명시적으로 기술된 정도에 따라 (1) 독립 변인과 종속변인이 모두 기술된 경우, (2) 종속 변인만 기술되었으나 실험의 내용에서 독립 변인을 알 수 있는 경우, (3) 종속 변인만 기술되 었으나 실험의 내용에서 독립 변인을 알 수 없는 경우로 분류하여 중학교 1학년의 실험 목표와 관련 변인 인식 및 인식한 목표와 도출된 결론의 관련성을 알아보았다. 학생들이 진술한 목표를 살펴보면 (1)은 학생들이 진술 한 목표가 교과서에서 의도한 내용으로 수렴된 반면 (2), (3) 의 경우는 교과서의 의도와 별 관련 없는 여러 가지 유형으로 분산되었다. 이는 학생들의 목표 인식이 실험 제목에 변인이 얼마나 명시적으로 기술되어 있는 가 하는 정도에 영향올 받는다고 해석할 수 있다. 이러한 사실은 실험 제목에 변인이 명확하게 기술될 수록 학생들이 판별한 변인도 교과서에서 의도한 것으로 수렴된다는 것올 확인할 수 있다. 한편, 학생들이 내린 결론은 (1)의 경우 관련성이 보였으나, (2), (3)의 경우 진술한 목표와 결론의 관련성은 적었다. 그러나 (1)의 경우에도 학생들이 진술한 결론은 교과서의 의도와 일치하지 않앗다. 이는 교과서의 실험 설계가 적절하지 않았기 때문이다. 성공적으로 실험을 수행하도록 하기 위해서는 실험의 개방성 정도와 학생의 인지 능력을 동시에 고려하여야 하고 실험의 설계에 주의를 기울일 필요가있다.

In this study, the prevalence of osteoporosis was predicted based on 10 independent variables such as age, weight, and alcohol consumption and 4 tree-based machine-learning models, and the performance of each model was compared. Also the model with the highest performance was used to check the performance by clearing the independent variable, and Area Under Curve(ACU) was utilized to evaluate the performance of the model. The ACU for each model was Decision tree 0.663, Random forest 0.704, GBM 0.702, and XGBoost 0.710 and the importance of the variable was shown in the order of age, weight, and family history. As a result of using XGBoost, the highest performance model and clearing independent variables, the ACU shows the best performance of 0.750 with 7 independent variables. This data suggests that this method be applied to predict osteoporosis, but also other various diseases. In addition, it is expected to be used as basic data for big data research in the health care field.

This paper investigates the effect of independent directorship on the firm performance of Chinese listed companies under the impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic. The study starts by assessing the relationship between independent director-related characteristics and firm performance, then mines independent director characteristics variables, collects variable data, proposes reasonable hypotheses, and constructs a data model. 1597 companies listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen stock index, China, from 2020 to 2021 has been selected as the research sample. An empirical study on the relationship between independent directors' characteristics and firm performance was conducted using SPSS25. The results show that under the impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic, the proportion of independent directors on the board of directors, the age of independent directors, the remuneration of independent directors, and the overseas background of independent directors in Chinese listed companies have a negative relationship with the current firm performance, while the proportion of female independent directors and the part-time rate of independent directors do not have a positive effect on firm performance. The findings of this study strongly imply that independent directors' characteristics play a significant role in corporate governance and firm performance in Chinese listed companies and that the external environment has an impact on how well independent directors can carry out their duties.
