This paper was to evaluate social enterprises' management efficiency with Data Envelope Analysis (DEA). The data was based on the 168 social enterprises' of annual performance reports published in 2015. The research focused on to measure both financial efficiency and social impact of the companies simultaneously. To apply DEA, the paper classified the enterprises into seven types based on types of socal impacts which each company provides before the estimation of the efficiency. The research results showed that group D, which employes disadvantaged people, provides social services and shares resources was the most efficient group and had higest net worths in Pure Technical Efficiency. In contrast, Group B, which only employs social advantage people and provides social service, was the least efficient one. The research suggests a practical and efficient framework in measuring social enterprises' management efficiency, including both the financial performance and social impacts simultaneously with their self-publishing reports. Because the Korea Social Enterprise Promotion Agency does not open business reports which social enterprises submit each year, there are basic limitations on researchers attempting to analyse with data from all social enterprises in Korea. Thus, this study dealt with only 10% of the social enterprises which self-published their performance report on the Korea Social Enterprise Promotion Agency's web site. Regardless of these limitations, this study suggested substantial methods to estimate management efficiency with the self-published reports. Because self-publishing is increasing each year, it will be the main source of information for researchers in examining and evaluating social enterprises' financial performance or social contribution. The research suggests a practical and efficient framework in measuring social enterprises' management efficiency, including both the financial performance and social impacts simultaneously with their self-publishing reports. The research results suggest not only list of efficient enterprises but also methods of improvement for less efficient enterprises.

The concentration phenomenon in physical space has taken place along with the proliferation of ICT in South Korea, especially the concentration in Gangnam_Gu district of plastic surgery clinics. In this study, we examine longitudinally whether the proliferation of ICT is related with the concentration in the physical space: focused plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam_Gu district. To do this, we extend the previous study(Cho and Choi, 2012). We examine the homogeneity between websites of plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam_Gu and those besides Gangnam_Gu plastic surgery's website. Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDA) technique is mainly used for this analysis. The 401 sample websites in 5 years from 2006 to 2011 are mainly investigated. As a result, plastic surgery websites in Gangnam_Gu are not homogeneous than those of elsewhere with significance during 5 years consistently. Therefore, we can conclude that the expansion of ICT has an association with the spatial concentration of plastic surgery in Gangnam_Gu.

Recently, digital music retrieval is using in many fields (Web portal. audio service site etc). In existing fields, Meta data of music are used for digital music retrieval. If Meta data are not right or do not exist, it is hard to get high accurate retrieval result. Contents based information retrieval that use music itself are researched for solving upper problem. In this paper, we propose Same music recognition method using similarity measurement. Feature data of digital music are extracted from waveform of music using Simplified MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient). Similarity between digital music files are measured using DTW (Dynamic time Warping) that are used in Vision and Speech recognition fields. We success all of 500 times experiment in randomly collected 1000 songs from same genre for preying of proposed same music recognition method. 500 digital music were made by mixing different compressing codec and bit-rate from 60 digital audios. We ploved that similarity measurement using DTW can recognize same music.

This study devotes to compare the accuracy of Top-N recommendations of items transacted on the web site for customers with the accuracy of rank conformity of the real ratings with estimated ratings for customers preference about items generated from two types of collaborative filtering algorithms. One is Neighborhood Based Collaborative Filtering Algorithm(NBCFA) and the other is Correspondence Mean Algorithm(CMA). The result of this study shows the accuracy of Top-N recommendations and the rank conformity of real ratings with estimated ratings generated by CMA are better than that of NBCFA. It would be expected that the customer's satisfaction in Recommender System is more improved by using the prediction result from CMA than NBCFA, and then Using CMA in collaborative filtering recommender system is more efficient than using NBCFA.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the data regarding questions raised by women with breast cancer through Internet counseling in Korea. Methods: The data were collected from one internet web-site, providing counseling by physicians. A total of 617 questions were analyzed by content analysis method. Results: About 90 percent of the counselees were patients themselves. But most of the general and health-related characteristics of them were not known from the data. As a result of content analysis, 617 questions were grouped into 9 major categories. The most common major category was identified as "life after treatment" (212 questions, 34.2%), followed by "chemotherapy" (139 questions, 22.3%) and "hormone therapy" (115 questions, 18.9%). Questions regarding "physical symptoms" were the most frequent one in the major categories of "life after treatment", "chemotherapy", and "radiotherapy", while questions regarding "psychological problems" were the least. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that it is important for health professionals to provide continuous on-line informational support to women with breast cancer, even after all the treatment is over, especially focusing on physical symptoms. In addition, off-line program needs to be reinforced to provide emotional support that is not well delivered by on-line program.

Blogs are a new type of media that have recently become popular on the World Wide Web and have influence throughout society. The purpose of this study is to examine social motivations influencing intention of blog usage. Based on Technology Acceptance Model and Motivation Theory, this study considered perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, reputation, reciprocity, enjoyment of helping, social identity as the determinants of influencing the intention to use of blog. The suggested model was empirically evaluated using online survey data collection from 342 users of popular blog site in Korea (NAVER Blog, Cyworld minihompy, Daum Blog, and Yahoo Blog). The results revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, reciprocity, and social identity affect directly the intention of blog usage. Furthermore, social identity has moderate effect via reciprocity and enjoyment of helping on blog usage. This study contributes to a theoretical understanding of the factors as social motivation that affects the usage of blogs. Also, the results of this study provide blog service providers useful strategic insights and service guidelines to enhance user's intention of blogs practically.

Inventory inspection is an important task to eliminate the inconsistency between real assets and inventory management systems, and it is performed periodically at the site. In the case of a large-sized property, it is mainly managed in an outdoor workshop or a warehouse. However, due to the large area of the outdoor area, it is relatively difficult to identify the quantity and location of the property and is also vulnerable to theft. To solve this problem, we proposed a method and system for performing a warehouse inventory inspection using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons. The proposed method has the following advantages. First of all, if we carry out inventory inspection by utilizing UAV, we can minimize user's effort compared to existing methods. The method of recognizing the asset by attaching the BLE beacon is more costly than using the existing RFID technology, but it is advantageous because the recognition distance is increased and the battery life of the tag is drastically increased. We also designed a BLE beacon reader for the system and implemented a prototype to show the feasibility of the proposed system. The prototype is based on Genuino 101, which is a kind of arduino, and adds HM-10 and Neo-6m modules to provide Bluetooth and GPS functions. The BLE beacon reader was tested in outdoor, and attached in drone. We also developed an inventory checking system based on the web to display results of inventory checking. The proposed approach enables the users to automate the operation of inventory checking on an outdoor warehouse.
