This study aims to conduct an empirical analysis on the impact of service quality (performance work, price, physical environment) on customer satisfaction, trust and intention to re-attend ballet performances. Another focus of the research is to examine the structural effect of satisfaction and trust on customer's intention to re-attend. This study surveyed 240 adults (Americans) who have physically attended ballet performances from 2019 to 2020. Applying the structural equation modeling analysis using the software SmartPLS, this study investigates 240 valid responses obtained from a global research institute in a mid-August 2020 survey. The findings of the analysis are as follows. (1) Performance work is positively correlated with customer satisfaction, while price and physical environment do not affect customer satisfaction. (2) Performance work is positively correlated with customer trust. However, price and physical environment haven't been observed to affect customer trust. (3) Customer satisfaction is positively correlated with customer trust. (4) Performance work, price and physical environment do not affect customer's intention to re-attend ballet performances. (5) Customer satisfaction is positively correlated with customer intention to re-attend performances. (6) Customer trust is positively correlated with the intention to re-attend performances.

Background: This study aimed to identify factors associated with women's decisions to attend cervical cancer screening and to explore those linked with intention to attend in the coming year and to continue regular screening. Materials and Methods: A community based case-control study was conducted among woman 30-60 years of age in catchment area of Chatapadung Contracting Medical Unit (CCMU), networking of Khon Kaen Center Hospital, Thailand. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data, and in-depth interviews were then performed to explore in greater detail. Results: There were 195 participants. Only one third (32.3 %) had been screened for cervical cancer within the past 5 years. Some 67.7% reported that they had not been screened because they had no abnormal symptoms, single marital status, and no children. Only 10.6% of those never had screening intent to be screened within the next 12 months. High family income (adjusted OR=2.16, 95%CI=1.13-4.14), good attitude towards a Pap test (OR=1.87, 95%CI=1.09-4.23), and having received a recommendation from health care providers were important factors associated with decisions to attend cervical cancer screening (OR=1.73, 95%CI=1.01-4.63). From in-depth interviews, there were five reasons of their decisions to attend cervical cancer screening including yearly check-up, postpartum check-up, having abnormal symptom, encouragement by health care providers, and request from workplace. Conclusions: High family income, good attitude towards a Pap test, and receiving proper recommendation by health care providers, were important factors associated with decision to have cervical cancer screening among women 30-60 years old. Trying to enhance these factors and reduce barriers regarding screening, may increase the coverage rate for cervical cancer screening in Thailand.

Advances in wireless network are enabling the development of ubiquitous multimedia services. These multimedia services need efficient platforms to comply with the requirements of mobile computing. We introduce an adaptive service platform based on mobile agent and grid systems while specifying the challenges of ubiquitous multimedia services and focusing on frequent disconnections and scarce resources. We applied our platform to framework RtoA (Ready-to-Attend) which supports mobile users to access compute-intensive multimedia service, specifically, mobile education and video conferencing. RtoA includes hand-off, speaker and listener service which enable people to attend a conference or a class with satisfying quality of multimedia service. ns-2 based simulation verifies that our scheme is an efficient way to reduce energy consumption of mobile devices and to improve the response time of mobile applications.

최근 딥러닝 기술이 발전하면서 이미지를 설명하는 캡션을 생성하는 모델 또한 발전하였다. 하지만 기존 이미지 캡션 모델은 대다수 영어로 구현되어있어 영어로 캡션을 생성하게 된다. 따라서 한국어 캡션을 생성하기 위해서는 영어 이미지 캡션 결과를 한국어로 번역하는 과정이 필요하다는 문제가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 이미지 캡션 모델을 이용하여 한국어 캡션을 직접 생성하는 모델을 만들고자 한다. 이를 위해 이미지 캡션 모델 중 잘 알려진 Show, Attend and Tell 모델을 이용하였다. 학습에는 MS-COCO 데이터의 한국어 캡션 데이터셋을 이용하였다. 한국어 형태소 분석기를 이용하여 토큰을 만들고 캡션 모델을 재학습하여 한국어 캡션을 생성할 수 있었다. 만들어진 한국어 이미지 캡션 모델은 BLEU 스코어를 사용하여 평가하였다. 이때 BLEU 스코어를 사용하여 생성된 한국어 캡션과 영어 캡션의 성능을 평가함에 있어서 언어의 차이에 인한 결과 차이가 발생할 수 있으므로, 영어 이미지 캡션 생성 모델의 출력을 한국어로 번역하여 같은 언어로 모델을 평가한 후 최종 성능을 비교하였다. 평가 결과 한국어 이미지 캡션 생성 모델이 영어 이미지 캡션 생성 모델을 한국어로 번역한 결과보다 좋은 BLEU 스코어를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Cluster system provides attractive scalability in terms of computation power and memory size. With the advances in high speed computer network technology, cluster systems are becoming increasingly competitive compared to expensive parallel machines. In parallel processing program, each task load is difficult to predict before running the program and each task is interdependent each other in many ways. Load imbalancing induces an obstacle to system performance. Most of researches in load balancing were concerned with distributed system but researches in cluster system are few. In cluster system, the dynamic load balancing algorithm which evaluates each processor's load in runtime is purpose that the load of each node are evenly distributed. But, if communication cost or node complexity becomes high, it is not effective method for all nodes to attend load balancing process. In that circumstances, it is good to reduce the number of node which attend to load balancing process. We have modeled cluster systems and proposed marginal dynamic load balancing algorithms suitable for that circumstances.

The purpose of this research is to identify the differences in appearance satisfaction, self-esteem and the feeling of happiness according to the demographic variables of teenagers. The conclusion of this research indicate that appearance satisfaction has significant impacts on the self-esteem and the feelings of happiness for adolescence. Teenage students who attend vocational schools get more Allowances than students who attend general high schools, and those who have parents with lower education level also get more Allowances. But the higher the economic standard and grades the students have, the more self-esteem and the feelings of happiness they possess. Thus, the students who attend general high schools have higher self-esteems and feelings of happiness than those in vocational schools. Additionally, the students who have higher economic standards and parents with better'- education levels show more appearance satisfactions for their face, skin and body. Therefore, the level of appearance satisfaction according to the types of school, economic standards, amount of Allowances and parents' education level is an important variable, which can also affect the self-esteem and the feelings of happiness. Teenagers' appearance satisfaction have a significant impact for determining the level of self-esteem and the feeling of happiness.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Numerous school-based weight control programs have been initiated for weight loss among adolescents. However, the relationship between these programs and inappropriate weight control efforts, dietary habits and behavior of students, have not been investigated sufficiently. This study was undertaken to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) of adolescents, and their health status and inappropriate weight-control efforts. We further examined the relationship between attendance to school-based weight-control programs and attempting inappropriate weight-control efforts, dietary habits, and behavior. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A survey of 1,742 students was conducted in Korea. Logistic regression was used to assess differences in the health status (grouped by BMI and improper weight control) and dietary habits, based on attendance to the weight-control programs. RESULTS: Obese students were significantly more dissatisfied with physical, mental and spiritual health. Students who attended weight-control programs were likely to be underweight (P < 0.001), whereas those who did not attend weight-control programs were likely to attempt weight control improperly (P < 0.001). Students who participated in the program also had relatively healthy dietary habits (P < 0.001-0.027), and students who did not attend had comparatively unhealthy dietary habits (P < 0.001-0.008). Students who attended weight-control programs were likely to be underweight (P < 0.001) with relatively healthy dietary habits (P < 0.001-0.027), whereas students who did not attend the programs were likely to attempt weight control improperly (P < 0.001) and had comparatively unhealthy dietary habits (P < 0.001-0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Attending school-based weight-control programs was significantly associated with not attempting inappropriate weight-control efforts, as well as following healthy dietary habits. Our data indicates that offering school-based weight-control programs is valuable to student health, and is anticipated to reducing the public health burden.
