Purpose - This study addresses an acquisition's impact on a firm's strategic relationship based on findings of existing academic studies and theoretical assertions. Through examining existing research results and theoretical grounds for an acquisition's impact on various stakeholders, this study indirectly approaches the impact on stakeholders including alliance partners. Research design, data, and methodology - This research identified a variety of related theoretical foundations and empirical studies. Research objectives of prior studies mainly focused on merging firms and direct participants of acquisition activity. In addition, academic attention on the impact on rival firms has recently been growing. However, little research on alliance partners was found. Prior studies simultaneously employed event study methodology and cross-sectional analysis to make further theoretical contributions. Results and Conclusions - Based on the findings of prior studies, this research proposed a complementary research model for future academic inquiry into the impact of an acquisition on an alliance partner's return and for predicting an acquisition announcement's effect on alliance partners.

Techniques from decision analysis and expert system have both been extensively used in the development of computerized decision aids, although each discipline uses different approaches in knowledge (information or input) acquisition, representation, and problem solving methodology. From the perspective of many types of practical decision aiding applications, both normative decision aids and expert system technology have significant limitations. Many research efforts have been exerted toward complementing the one's deficiency with the other's possible techniques or vice versa. In this paper, among many possible complementary techniques for better decision aiding between decision analysis and expert system, we focus on the using prescriptive methodology of decision analysis which incorporates user's preference knowledge for conflict resolution in rule based expert system.

Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) implement heterogeneous systems in the same platform by stacking several planar chips vertically with through-silicon via (TSV) technology. 3D ICs have some advantages, including shorter interconnect lengths, higher integration density, and improved performance. Thermal-aware design would enhance the reliability and performance of the interconnects and devices. In this paper, we propose thermal-aware floorplanning with min-cut die partitioning for 3D ICs. The proposed min-cut die partition methodology minimizes the number of connections between partitions based on the min-cut theorem and minimizes the number of TSVs by considering a complementary set from the set of connections between two partitions when assigning the partitions to dies. Also, thermal-aware floorplanning methodology ensures a more even power distribution in the dies and reduces the peak temperature of the chip. The simulation results show that the proposed methodologies reduced the number of TSVs and the peak temperature effectively while also reducing the run-time.

This study tried to understand an ambiguous urban landscape through a relational context. Gongpyeong district, an urban renewal area in Seoul, was selected as the site of the case study because traditional and modern styles coexist in this district. The research method and processes are summarized as follows. First, the district, which has both a redeveloped environment and an inherent environment, was divided into Yin & Yang structures. Next, an effort was made to grasp the fundamental relational characteristics(external relationships) of each type through three aspects: physical environment, activities, and meaning. As a result, Yin characteristics were found in the redeveloped environment which has predominantly Yang characteristics. In many cases, advertising, which is a Yang element, was missing in the redeveloped area. On the other hand, in the inherent environment which has Yin characteristics in general, shabby appearances were evident in aspects beyond advertising, and Yang elements, were found from the viewpoint of the theory of place. On the basis of these results, new dualistic frameworks with respect to the functions were re-structured, and complementary characteristics (internal relationship) based on topological aspects were analyzed. Unlike the monotonous appearances found in large scale environments, a variety of spatial characteristics were found in the various small scale environments. This explains that the dualistic coexistence has made a contribution to the complementary attributes of urban landscape. This study has the following ramifications. Much research of urban landscapes that has used western methodology which employs analytic aspects. As a methodology of urban landscape research this study introduced Iching, which tries to understand phenomena in a relational context. In addition, this study expects that the profound understanding of urban environments and the detailed relationship through this framework will suggest a new approach to urban planning, design and management related to future urban environments.

The use of acupuncutre has been increased worldwide, and large number of researches on acupuncture with improved quality has been conducted. Nevertheless, results of acupuncture treatment in those research tend to show mixed results, while many patients continuously seek acupuncture treatment as an adjuvant or alternatives for their health. Researchers and clinicians relevant to acupuncture are faced at this problematic discrepancy between the results of acupuncture in clinical trial including an randomized controlled trial and those of day-to-day clinical practice. The methodology of pragmatic clinical trial seems to be one of the promising research tools administering this problem especially in the area of complementary alternative medicine and traditional Korean medicine. In this study we first reviewed articles on the pragmatic clinical trial, summarized the essential concepts of 'explanatory' clinical trial 'pragmatic' clinical trial and then presented recent recommendations and arguments on this issue. We also analyzed and compared two similar pragmatic clinical trial protocols to show the readers the complexity of research designing. We hope more researchers in traditional Korean medicine will be interested in the methodology of pragmatic clinical trials and this study will serve to produce various high-quality clinical trials.

본 연구에서는 구축된 GIS 폴리곤 데이터의 위치정확도를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 그리고 기존까지 개별 방법에 의한 위치정확도 측정 방법을 개선하여 개별 방법들을 연계 이용함으로써 위치오차의 발생 유형까지 분석할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법론을 실제 실험지역에 적용하여본 결과, 실험대상지역에 대하여 위치정확도의 측정이 가능하였고, 또한 각각의 지수 연결(방법론 연결)을 통하여 위치오차의 발생원인(유형)을 분석할 수 있었다. 궁극적으로 방법론의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 방법론의 타당성을 확보하기 위해서는 각각의 기준 수치에 대한 보완 연구가 있어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study was done to describe the research trend of Complementary and Alternative Medicine(CAM) in Korea and internationally. Method: A Systematic review of CAM related literature published from 2000 to 2005 was done. A comprehensive search by using 34 CAM modalities as search terms to identify all articles dealing with CAM was undertaken from 4 databases: PubMed, RICHIS, KoreaMed, and Riss4U. A Total of 588 abstracts and 223 original articles were reviewed by two independent reviewers using systematic analysis guidelines. Data regarding the types of study design, characteristics of subjects and researchers, and classification of CAM modalities was recorded. The outcome measures of CAM were identified. Results: CAM research has been rapidly increasing worldwide in the last decade. In Korea, nursing(53.5%) followed by medicine(42.7%) occupied the majority of CAM research in comparison to medicine(42.9%) and disciplines in CAM(25.0%), like homeopathy, internationally. Prevailing research designs in Korea were experimental and quasi-experimental, however, randomized clinical trials were found. Internationally, survey research was dominant, with the exception of randomized clinical trials that were mostly an experimental design. Conclusion: The findings suggest that a robust research design in CAM research is needed to accumulate strong scientific evidence and to adopt nursing interventions from CAM modalities.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experience of pursuing complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in breast cancer patients. Methods: Ten women with breast cancer participated in the study. Data were collected through individual in-depth unstructured and individualized interviews with each participant from February to July, 2015. Theoretical sampling was used upto the point of theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed using Corbin & Strauss's grounded theory methodology. Results: Through open coding, 22 sub-categories, and 13 categories were identified. Analysis revealed that the core category was 'endless management of mind and body for healing', which consisted of four phases; exploring, applying, grasping, and integrating. Through this process, the participants utilized various action/interactional strategies such as 'dealing with information', 'trying out blindly', 'enduring volitionally', 'experiencing effects on mind and body,' and 'grasping one's own way.' The consequences of these strategies were integrating the habit of health remedy into one's life, becoming a main agent for change, and tolerating one's weak body. Conclusion: In-depth understanding of the CAM pursuing experiences of patients with breast cancer would guide clinical nurses and policy makers to develop effective interventions and policies for better supporting them with regard to the usage of CAM.

융통성 있는 소프트웨어 개발을 위해 많은 객체지향방법론들이 제공되어 지고 있으나, 이러한 객체지향방법론들은 자동적으로 재사용을 제공하거나 건실한 소프트웨어 시스템을 만들지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 객체지향 방법론들은 개발자에게 상세한 설계지침을 제공하지 못하고 있으며, 분석·설계자들로 이런 문제점들을 인정하고 방법론들을 향상시켜 나가려고 노력하고 있다. 이와 같이 분석·설계자들의 노력을 줄여 주면서 설계단계의 정보를 재사용할 수 있도록 제공하고자 하는 것이 설계패턴의 개념이며, 이러한 설계패턴과 객체지향 방법론은 상호 보완적인 관계를 가지면서 시스템을 개발하는데 유용한 설계 길잡이의 역할을 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 객체지향 방법론 중에서 가장 많이 다루어지고 있는 OMT 방법론과 Gamma가 제안한 설계패턴 중 Facade, Mediator, Observer의 세 가지 설계패턴에 대한 상호작용을 보여주고, OMT방법론 내에 설계패턴을 적용함으로써 구체적인 설계지식과 재사용에 대한 명확한 해법을 제안한다.
