  • This study examined the relationships among financial capability, self-esteem and money relationship. For empirical analysis, the study conducted a survey of 429 users from 6 community center users in Seoul, Gyunggi and Chungnam areas in South Korea. Frequency analyses and structural equation modelling were carried out. The main findings are as follows: Firstly, household income had no statistically significant effect on the users' self-esteems. Second, the users' financial capabilities increased their self-esteem. Third, the users' money relationship problems lower their self-esteem. Fourth, the impact of financial capability on self-esteem was partially mediated by money relationship problems.

  • In this paper, I focus on the performativity thesis introduced and developed by Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars such as Callon, MacKenzie, etc. since the mid 1990s. The performativity thesis was discussed in economic sociology by STS scholars has been pervaded to other research areas including general economics, accounting, finance and so on. The main idea of the thesis is that economic theories perform, shape, and format economy rather than just describe economy. I show that the thesis is based on the traditional STS ideas such as performativity derived from Merton's self-fulfilling prophecy and the actor-network theory. Although the thesis has been criticised by various researchers from both inside and outside STS, it has provided meaningful implications for understanding economic phenomenon from a viewpoint of STS. Furthermore, reflexive researches for performativity of STS theories can be discussed in the next stage.

  • R-tree is index structure which is frequently used for handling spatial data. However, if the number of dimensions increases, or if only partial dimensions are used for searching the certain data according to user preference, the time for indexing is greatly increased and the efficiency of the generated R-tree is greatly reduced. Hence, it is not suitable for the multidimensional data, where dimensions are continuously increasing. In this paper, we propose a multidimensional hash index, a new multidimensional index structure based on a hash index. The multidimensional hash index classifies data into buckets of euclidean space through a hash function, and then, when an actual search is requested, generates a hash search tree for effective searching. The generated hash search tree is able to handle user preferences in selected dimensional space. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better indexing performance than R-tree, while maintaining the similar search performance.

  • The concern of personal and social security has been increased all over the world with each passing day by the international terrorism and the domestic crime of violence grew gradually in the late of 70's and the early of 80's. The Security-Guard Industry, especially, has been growing rapidly by the starting from the 911 terror in 2001, therefore there has been increasing the supply and demand of Security Service in Korea explosively by the reasons, Actually, the Facilities Security Service is increased actively more than the VIP security Service among them. So, most of the Security-Guard Companies in Korea also have treated the Facilities Security Service at present. Although the importance of quality at the Facilities Security Service, especially mechanical equipments and systems, is on the rise, actually the studies about relations with the Service Quality and the Client's Satisfaction are quite insufficient at the field of Security-Guard Science study in the actual situation. As a result, the purposes of this study are to contribute for composing the knowledge of Security-Guard Science and to offer the basic data for elevating the Service Quality and Client's Satisfaction by consulting other studies. In order to achieve the purposes of this study, we compare and analyze how the Service Quality have affect on the difference of Client's Satisfaction by the client's characteristic of sociology and demography, then we find out the effect to the Service Quality for Client's Satisfaction, finally we try to show the vision of the Security-Guard Company's future in Korea. 1. How does the Service Quality of Security-Guard Company has affect on the characteristic of sociology and demography 2. How does the characteristic of sociology and demography in Security-Guard Company has affect on the Client's Satisfaction 3. How does the Service Quality of Security-Guard Company has affect on the Client's Satisfaction.

  • The subset-sum problem is to find out whether or not the element sum of a subset within a finite set of numbers is equal to a given value. The problem is a well-known NP-complete problem, which is difficult to solve within a polynomial time. Genetic algorithm is a method for finding the optimal solution of a given problem through operations such as selection, crossover, and mutation. Dynamic programming is a method of solving a given problem from one or several subproblems. In this paper, we design and implement a genetic algorithm that solves the subset-sum problem, and experimentally compared the time performance to find the answer with the case of dynamic programming method. We selected a total of 17 test cases considering the difficulty in a set with 63 elements of positive number, and compared the performance of the two algorithms. The presented genetic algorithms showed time performance improved by 84% on 13 of 17 problems when compared with dynamic programming.

  • The emergence of smart devices and IoT leads to the appearance of O2O service to blur the difference between online and offline. As online services' merits were added to the offline market, it caused a change in the dynamics of the offline industry, which means the offline-space's digitization. Unlike these changing aspects of the offline market, exhibition industry grows steadily in the industry, however it is also possible to create a new value added by combining O2O service. We conducted a survey targeting 20 spectators in '2015 Seoul Design Festival' at COEX. The survey was used to analysis of the spatial structure and generate the dataset for machine learning. We identified problems with the analysis study of the existing spatial structure, and based on this investigation we propose a new method for analyzing a spatial structure. Also by processing a machine learning technique based on the generated dataset, we propose a novel evaluation model of exhibition-space cells for O2O service layout.

  • Recently, it is difficult for a firm to survive and maintain sustainable competitive advantage through internal R&D only, because changes in the environment are very fast and complex. Accordingly, the paradigm of open innovation is gradually emphasized, and the ratio of external R&D has been increasing in various industries. This study analyzed open innovation through Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) data from Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI). We confirmed the ratio of open innovation based on firms of the manufacturing industry in South Korea, and examined the relationship between open innovation and innovation performance. This study suggests that open innovation is not a new paradigm that did not exist in the past. While the use of government support programs positively influence innovation performance, the use of external R&D doesn't influence innovation performance due to the difficulties associated with managing it. The results of this study will be used to establish the strategic direction and support the decision making when firms conduct innovation activities in the future.

  • Recently, the importance of big data has been increased, and demand for data analysis for the big data is also increased. R language is developed for data analysis, and users are analyzing data by using algorithms of various statistics, machine learning and data mining packages in R language. However, it is difficult to develop an application using R. Early study proposed a method to call R script through another language such as PHP, Java, and so on. However, it is troublesome to write such a development method in addition to R in combination with other languages. In this study, we introduce how to write API using only R language without using another language by using Plumber package. We also propose a solution for security issues related with R API. If we use propose technology for developing web application, we can expect high productivity, easy of use, and easy of maintenance.

  • The basic search engine on Twitter shows not only tweets that contain search keywords, but also all articles written by users with nicknames containing search keywords. Since the tweets unrelated to the search keyword are exposed as search results, it is inconvenient to many users who want to search only tweets that include the keyword. To solve this inconvenience, this study improved the search function of Twitter by developing an algorithm that searches only tweets that contain search keywords. The improved functionality is implemented as a Web service using ASP.NET MVC5 and is available to many users. We used a powerful collection method in C# to retrieve the results of an object, and it was also possible to output them according to the number of 'retweets' or 'favorites'. If the number of retrieved numbers is less than a given number, we also added an exclusion filter function. Thus, sorting search results by the number of retweets or favorites, user can quickly search for opinions that are of interest to many users. It is expected that many users and data analysts will find the developed function convenient to search on Twitter.
