The metaverse is a virtual world where individuals engage in social, economic, and cultural activities using avatars, which represent an alternate version of oneself within the virtual realm. While the metaverse has garnered global attention recently, research exploring the identity manifested through avatars within the metaverse remains limited. This study investigates the influence of four IT artifact characteristics related to avatar usage in the metaverse-avatar representation, avatar copresence, avatar profiling, and avatar-space interaction-on perceived avatar identity verification. A survey was conducted with 196 experienced users of the Zepeto platform, and hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. The analysis results indicate that the use of IT artifacts enabling avatar representation, avatar copresence, and avatar-space interaction has a positive impact on perceived avatar identity verification. This achieved self-verification indirectly influences the satisfaction and subsequent intention to continue using the metaverse. This study contributes to the academic field by empirically verifying the metaverse technological factors that influence the projected identity onto avatars within the metaverse. Furthermore, it is expected to provide effective guidelines for metaverse platform companies in designing and implementing the metaverse.

With the emergence of the internet and the increasing use of online communities for over 20 years, the age range of users has also been rising. This study explores the linguistic changes that have occurred as the user age in online communities has increased. To do this, data was collected and analyzed from an online community that has been actively operating, despite new member registrations being closed nine years ago. By comparing the posts over an 11-year period from 2012 to 2022, changes such as an increase in average comments, a decrease in interrogative sentences, and a decrease in imperative statements were observed. The study also proposed loneliness due to aging and a decline in curiosity and confidence as potential causes of these changes. In South Korea, which is rapidly entering an aging society unprecedentedly fast on a global scale, the increase in single-person households has evolved loneliness from a personal issue to a social problem, manifested in an increase in solitary deaths and reclusive individuals. This research sheds light on one aspect of these social phenomena through the analysis of data from a large online community.

In this paper, we propose an effective real-time visual loop closure detector, VILODE, which makes use of key frames and bag of visual words (BoW) based on SURF feature points. In order to determine whether the camera has re-visited one of the previously visited places, a loop closure detector has to compare an incoming new image with all previous images collected at every visited place. As the camera passes through new places or locations, the amount of images to be compared continues growing. For this reason, it is difficult for a visual loop closure detector to meet both real-time constraint and high detection accuracy. To address the problem, the proposed system adopts an effective key frame selection strategy which selects and compares only distinct meaningful ones from continuously incoming images during navigation, and so it can reduce greatly image comparisons for loop detection. Moreover, in order to improve detection accuracy and efficiency, the system represents each key frame image as a bag of visual words, and maintains indexes for them using DBoW database system. The experiments with TUM benchmark datasets demonstrates high performance of the proposed visual loop closure detector.

Manufacturer's competitiveness in the MRO industry, which is to stimulate the growth of the business-to-business e-commerce market, has recently become more important. A nuclear parts manufacturer was supplying products based on irregular demand from clients which differs from ordinary MRO business practices. The reason for this is the Nuclear Parts Manufacturer has fallen behind the e-commerce performance of other industries, and they lack global competitiveness due to the low efficiency of the individual companies within it. In this study, we developed an MRO based a-Marketplace system to minimize repetitive ordering of raw materials, lack of reusability and inefficiency of transaction processing which was a result of the former legacy business practice, In order to accomplish the purpose of this study, we implemented a web based automated CR system which considered the characteristics of the nuclear parts manufacturing: the system has sub modules such as ordering, product management, transaction management, warehousing and raw material handling. As a consequence of the system implementation, H corporate successfully automated ordering of raw materials, quotation processing and inventory management compared to the legacy business process, achieving increased efficiency by reducing wasteful resources.

Big data analysis systems apply NoSQL databases like MongoDB to store, process, and analyze diverse forms of large-scale data. MongoDB offers scalability and fast data processing speeds through distributed processing and data replication, depending on its configuration. This paper investigates the suitable MongoDB environment configurations for implementing big data analysis systems. For performance evaluation, we configured both single-node and multi-node environments. In the multi-node setup, we expanded the number of data nodes from two to three and measured the performance in each environment. According to the analysis, the processing speeds for complex data structures with three or more dimensions are approximately 5.75% faster in the single-node environment compared to an environment with two data nodes. However, a setting with three data nodes processes data about 25.15% faster than the single-node environment. On the other hand, for simple one-dimensional data structures, the multi-node environment processes data approximately 28.63% faster than the single-node environment. Further research is needed to practically validate these findings with diverse data structures and large volumes of data.

습지 분류의 목표는 '목록작성(inventory)과 평가와 관리를 위해 자연적인 생태계에 범위를 설정하는 것'이다. 또한 등질적인 속성을 갖는 생태단위를 기술하고, 자원관리 의사결정에 도움을 줄 수 있는 체계로 단위를 만들어내고, 목록작성과 지도화에 필요한 단위를 제공하면, 습지에 관한 개념과 용어의 통일성을 제공하는 것 등이다. 해안지형 가운데 해안 습지의 분류에는 우선, 1) 형태, 2) 생성요인, 3) 자갈, 모래, 펄 같은 기질 물질과 4)현재의 환경이라는 요소가 모두 고려되어야만 하는데 아직 국내에는 이에 대한 연구가 절대적으로 부족하여 이에 대한 규정이 부족한 현실이다. 따라서 현 단계에서 ISO/IEC 규정대로 각 코드는 엄밀히 상호배타적인 개념일 것, 정수로 표시할 것과 순차적으로 증가하는 숫자로 표시할 것 등의 전제조건을 만족시키는 전제 하에서 해안습지를 분류하는 것은 매우 힘든 작업이라 생각한다. 하지만 국토공간의 효율적 관리와 보존을 위해서는 위치와 장소에 따라 차이를 보이는 지질, 지형, 토양, 식생, 수리 현상 등 제반 지표 환경요소에 대한 체계화된 정보의 축척이 있어야 가능하다. 우리나라의 경우 지질 정보는 지질자원연구원에서 발행하는 지질도와, 농촌진흥청에서 발행하는 토양도, 임업연구원에서 발행하는 임상도 등의 주제도가 있으나, 지표환경을 나타내주는 지형에 대한 정보체계는 아직 이루러진 바가 없고, 대학의 석사학위논문이나, 실험적인 수준의 연구에 머물고 있는 실정이다. 이번 연구에서는 지형분류도 작성과 관련한 외국의 사례를 집중적으로 분석하고, 지형정보의 체계적 관리를 위해 가장 필요한 해안습지 지형분류도를 작성하기 위해 가장 기초적인 단계인 해안습지 지형분류체계에 대한 국내외의 연구성과를 비교하여 시안을 작성 표준화를 위한 첫 단계 시도를 소개하였다.분석 결과는 문장, 그림 및 도표, 장 끝의 질문, 학생의 학습 활동 수 등이 $0.4{\sim}1.5$ 사이의 값으로 학생 참여를 적절히 유도하는 발견 지향적 인 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 장의 요약은 본문 내용을 반복하는 내용으로 구성되었다. 이와 같이 공통과학 과목은 새로운 현대 사회에 부응하는 교과 목표와 체계를 지향하고 있지만 아직도 통합과학으로서의 내용과 체계를 완전히 갖추고 있지 못할 뿐만 아니라 현재 사용되고 있는 7종의 교과서가 교육 목표를 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 교사의 역할이 더욱더 중요하게 되었다.괴리가 작아진다. 이 결과에 따르면 위탁증거금의 징수는 그 제도의 취지에 부합되고 있다. 다만 제도운용상의 이유이거나 혹은 우리나라 주식시장의 투자자들이 비합리적인 투자형태를 보임에 따라 그 정책적 효과는 때로 역기능적인 결과로 초래하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 연구결과를 통하여 최소한 주식시장(株式市場)에서 위탁증거금제도는 그 제도적 의의가 여전히 있다는 사실이 확인되었다. 또한 우리나라 주식시장에서 통상 과열투기 행위가 빈번히 일어나 주식시장을 교란시킴으로써 건전한 투자풍토조성에 저해된다는 저간의 우려가 매우 커왔으나 표본 기간동안에 대하여 실증분석을 한 결과 주식시장 전체적으로 볼 때 주가변동율(株價變動率), 특히 초과주가변동율(超過株價變動率)에 미치는 영향이 그다지 심각한 정도는 아니었으며 오히려 우리나라의 주식시장은 미국시장에 비해 주가가 비교적 안정적인 수준을 유지해 왔다고 볼 수 있다.36.4%)와 외식을 선호(29.1%)${\lrcorner}$ 하기 때문에 패스트푸드를 이용하게 된 것으로 응답 하였으며, 남 여 대학생간에는 유의한 차이(p<0.05)가 인정되었다. 응답자의 체형은 ${\ulcorner}$

The software development process (SDP) plays an important basic role in software engineering education. Every software is developed in accordance with a specific SDP which contains all phases of software development. SDP education helps students to understand the overall techniques and the process of software engineering. This paper introduces a software development methodology (i.e., process) - 'OOPT (Object Oriented Process with Traceability),' which was proposed for use in university software engineering classes. The OOPT is based on object-oriented software development, and it defines concrete requirements as well as outputs of each process/phases. It also contains the unit/system testing and a traceability analysis. We have used the OOPT in software engineering classes at Konkuk university for eight years. This paper conveys our experience as well as future extension and improvement plans.

This study looks for the requirements for adaptive courseware and provides background for developing effective adaptive courseware. Most adaptive courseware does not adequately reflect the requirements of learners. If it properly reflected learners' requirements well, it could be used more effectively. therefore, this study analyzes and suggests the requirements of an adaptive courseware for pre-service teachers who are majoring in computer education. The study methods were factor analysis and frequency analysis through survey. The results show that the important elements of an adaptive courseware are a learning style designed according to individual differences as well as an instruction model appropriate to the subject domain. The study examined adaption by learner level, by learning objective, by learning style, by method of learning content, and by learning history in that order. Therefore while the most of adaptive courseware support learning style; we propose that the adaptive courseware will support learning objects and instruction model as well.
