The purpose of this study was to explore the role orientation that librarians are expected to carry during their career-life. More specifically, this study examined the pattern of librarians subjectivism related to attitude, belief, and confidence. Q questions were made of 36 items, including personal value system and role attitude. P sample included 23 librarians. Data were collected for 8 days (from April 15, 2005 to April 22, 2005). Analyses showed the following results. First, librarians role orientations were classified into 3 types: user-centered orientation, organization-centered orientation, and expertise-centered orientation. (1) The first type librarians were interested in having good relationships with users, while emphasizing the importance of providing good services to the users. (2) The second type of librarians were concerned with social function of the library, while placing highlight on their roles as organizational members. Among them, achievement evaluation was regarded as an important indicator of personal success. They were interested in having stable organizational culture, as well as economic growth of libraries. This orientation was dominant among married members. (3) The third type of librarians focused on librarians role implementation and professional achievement. They showed interest not only in the improvement of librarians creativity and the growth of expertises, but also the expansion of retraining opportunities. This orientation was conspicuous among female librarians. Second, several commonalities and differences were consistently found among librarians. The first type was interested in user-centered orientation(user contact, need satisfaction, self dignity, etc.). The second type was interested in organization-centered orientation(creativity, expertise growth, retraining opportunity, professional achievement. self-respect, etc.).

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has been revolutionized with deep learning-based approaches, among which self-supervised learning methods have proven to be particularly effective. In this study, we aim to enhance the performance of OpenAI's Whisper model, a multilingual ASR system on the Korean language. Whisper was pretrained on a large corpus (around 680,000 hours) of web speech data and has demonstrated strong recognition performance for major languages. However, it faces challenges in recognizing languages such as Korean, which is not major language while training. We address this issue by fine-tuning the Whisper model with an additional dataset comprising about 1,000 hours of Korean speech. We also compare its performance against a Transformer model that was trained from scratch using the same dataset. Our results indicate that fine-tuning the Whisper model significantly improved its Korean speech recognition capabilities in terms of character error rate (CER). Specifically, the performance improved with increasing model size. However, the Whisper model's performance on English deteriorated post fine-tuning, emphasizing the need for further research to develop robust multilingual models. Our study demonstrates the potential of utilizing a fine-tuned Whisper model for Korean ASR applications. Future work will focus on multilingual recognition and optimization for real-time inference.

This paper proposes an integrated management system for products of game software development. Those products generated over software life-cycle are generally huge in numbers, various in kinds and interconnected in relationships among them. Especially they are highly complex and tightly coupled each other because they are used to build another world which is composed of multi-modal data such as graphics, sound, logics and so on. Therefore it is critical to manage development products in an integrated manner to guarantee the quality of software. The proposed system is designed to provide project/requirement/configuration/traceability management capabilities and interfacing to CASE standards. To achieve the objective, it is based on data warehouse technologies which provide central repositories of heterogeneous data, multi-aspect reporting&analysis capabilities, traceability, verification, etc.

This paper focuses on the geographical pattern of financial activities in the Korean urban system during 1975-1990, based on the assumption that financial activities can reveal control points in Korea's urban economy. In terms of spatial evolution of financial insitutions, different locational characteristics are revealed among different types of financial institutions, implying the role of urban hierarchy. Financial resources are highly concentrated in the capital region, Seoul and Kyonggi Province. Both centralization trends into the large metropolitan cities and relative declines of medium and small cities within the Korean urban system, have been experienced over the study period. Financial activities sustain relatively stable hierarchical structure in the urban hierarchy. Regarding the financial flows, dominant flow zones centered on major metropolitan cities are identified, clearly showing a prominant role of Seoul in financial flows in the entire urban system.

This paper is the outcome of attempting to approach for reading the Analects of Confucius through the polysemy of Chinese character and indecidability of articles. For this purpose at first, I explained which this Chinese character can be applied for 'philosophy language'. In the 16th century Matteo Ricci had tried to find out the possibility of ideographic script as standing for a universal language. On the other hand, Hegel and Heidegger strictly insisted on the Chinese character is inappropriate for expressing the logic thought of the human being. The reason was as next; firstly, this character had not the preposition and articles, and secondly the only one word could not indicates the bisemy including the meaning of opposition, lastly this language system expresses and communicates only with the change of word order without inflection. But With some scholar like Cassirer, Saussure and Derrida we can confirm the possibility which will discover the Chinese character for using the logic and reasoning language of from different view. Because in the language system of this Chinese character the connection of words in contexts is more important other than meaning as the individual word, in comparison to the language of the West. The Chinese character hides the original meaning until being what kind of event and thing relationship watch inside with different letters. So to speak, the Chinese character is called as 'language of indecidability'. For these points, even though The Chinese character lacks of preposition, articles, and inflection speech etc. the letter systematic, this language system can play a role for expressing as the philosophic language which manages with the complicated problems of the human being.

The purpose of study is to advance current smartphone research past the limitation it faces being focused primarily on functional performance and to understand the causes of Smartphone diffusion. In order to do this, the dominant design concept was applied in examining the relationship between the determinants of the dominant design and the acceptance of smartphones. The research has yielded results which show that determinants such as technological superiority, number of installed based products, and availability of complementary goods have a positive effect on the intention to use smartphones and the attitude toward its use. Moreover, this study has contributed in broadening the understanding of dominant design by introducing the central concepts of dominant design which are not being dealt with in domestic studies and presenting the major variables which must be considered in the acceptance of smartphones.

현대의 기업조직들은 역동적 경영환경변화에 직면하고 있다. 이러한 변화에 적응하기 위한 수단으로서, 많은 기업들이 정보기술의 도입을 적극적으로 고려하고 있다. 1990년대 중반에 등장한 ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning: 전사적 자원관리)는 이러한 정보기술의 대표적인 것으로 통합된 데이터베이스에 기초하여 기업의 연계된 업무기능을 지원하는 시스템이다. ERP시스템은 효용 및 효과 대비면에서 많은 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 현재 우리나라의 많은 기업들이 ERP시스템을 도입하고 있다. ERP에 대한 기존의 연구들은 주로 ERP 도입 성공요소에 관한 내용이 주류를 이룬다. 그러나 이러한 주요성공요소들은 주로 시스템 개발과정의 특성만을 포함하곤 주요성공요소를 몇 개의 범주로 묶어 제시하는데 그 초점을 두고 있기 때문에, 이들 주요성공요소 간에 존재하는 상호영향관계를 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 ERP CSF(Critical Success Factor : 주요성공요소)간에 존재하는 상호영향관계, 그리고 그러한 영향관계가 전체 ERP 성과에 어떤 효과를 가져다 주는가에 대한 총체적인 상호작용에 관한 연구가 부족하기 때문에, 이를 분석하고자 했다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. ERP 주요성공요소 간에 존재하는 복잡한 상호영향관계를 실증분석을 통하여 측정하여 이들 간에 상호영향관계 및 선행관계가 있다는 것을 밝혀내었다. 다만, 일반적으로 BPR로 인하여 조직이 많이 변화하면 변화에 대한 사용자의 적응은 떨어질 것으로 생각되지만, 본 연구에서는 이들의 관계는 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 조직이 얼마나 많이 변화하였는가보다는 변화관리가 사용자가 적응하는데 더 많이 영향을 미친다고 나타나고 있다. 결국 BPR의 정도 또한 변화관리를 통해서는 사용자의 적응에 간접적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The aim of this research is to develop communication model and tools that would help in incorporating user experience into information appliance product development. To do so, this research suggested three major modelling techniques, including user-experience model, design strategy model and experience product model. Using these modelling tools, any members in design teams (investigator and designers) will be able to communicate their own ideas and research results each other at any period of the product development process. Each tools have distinct factors that would help identify elements in the user research stages, idea generation stages and product development stages. To verify the efficiency of these models, the case study was conducted with final year students at their studio class. As a result, the benefit of using these tools were identified as 1) these tools accelerate the communication between user researchers, designers and engineers and 2) evaluation process of the product is much more dearer that before. and 3) various user research techniques can be explored.
