Purpose: The aims of this study were to analyze the frequency of standard nursing statements used in the Electronic Nursing Record (ENR) and to evaluate the degree of satisfaction by users of the ENR system. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the ENR of 1914 patients who were admitted to our center between 1 May 2011 and 31 May 2011. Additionally, we collected questionnaires from 100 doctors and 300 nurses to evaluate the satisfaction of the users. Results: The frequency of use for the following standard nursing statements was investigated: standard nursing assessment statements (43.6%), standard nursing diagnosis statements (61.8%), standard nursing plan statements (46.7%), standard nursing intervention statements (56.9%), and standard nursing evaluation statements (41.7%). The mean satisfaction score was 3.03 out of 5 in the nurse's group, and 3.11 in the doctor's group. The nurses said the advantages of the ENR system were as follows: easy to access, informative, and standardized terms. However 75.7% of the nurse answered that they cannot express actual nursing situations exactly with the currently limited standard nursing statements. Conclusion: Development of various standard nursing statements is needed to meet the demands of the users. As a result, the use of the ENR system would become easier and more efficient for its users.

Due to the deterioration of the business environment, many companies become more interested in IT adoption to strengthen their internal competence. The recent expansion of the ERP adoption in the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can be interpreted as an example for this. However there are still a number of questions over the outsourcing effectiveness and its performance of IT adoption by characteristics of SMEs. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the software process quality and the product quality, and additionally the moderating effect of IT adoption factors, from the case of SMEs' ERP adoption by the outsourcing. For this purpose, the empirical analysis through the structural equation model has been carried out, based on the software quality model defined in ISO/IEC 15504 and ISO/IEC 9126. The result of analysis shows that the acquisition process quality can affect the product quality characteristics, currently applied in the national software quality certification, and this supports the practical usefulness of the ISO standard of software engineering. But another result shows that there is little moderating effect by IT adoption factors, in contrast to the expectation, and this can be explained due to the inappropriate measurement and the data constraint such as short duration-time of IT adoption. These can be used as an informative reference for continuing studies of the quality model application and the effect of IT adoption factors in SMEs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a prediction model for the characteristics of older adults with depression using the decision tree method. Methods: A large dataset from the 2008 Korean Elderly Survey was used and data of 14,970 elderly people were analyzed. Target variable was depression and 53 input variables were general characteristics, family & social relationship, economic status, health status, health behavior, functional status, leisure & social activity, quality of life, and living environment. Data were analyzed by decision tree analysis, a data mining technique using SPSS Window 19.0 and Clementine 12.0 programs. Results: The decision trees were classified into five different rules to define the characteristics of older adults with depression. Classification & Regression Tree (C&RT) showed the best prediction with an accuracy of 80.81% among data mining models. Factors in the rules were life satisfaction, nutritional status, daily activity difficulty due to pain, functional limitation for basic or instrumental daily activities, number of chronic diseases and daily activity difficulty due to disease. Conclusion: The different rules classified by the decision tree model in this study should contribute as baseline data for discovering informative knowledge and developing interventions tailored to these individual characteristics.

Ransomware detection has become a hot topic in computer security for protecting digital contents. Unfortunately, current signature-based and static detection models are often easily evadable by compress, and encryption. For overcoming the lack of these detection approach, we have proposed the dynamic ransomware detection system using data mining techniques such as RF, SVM, SL and NB algorithms. We monitor the actual behaviors of software to generate API calls flow graphs. Thereafter, data normalization and feature selection were applied to select informative features. We improved this analysis process. Finally, the data mining algorithms were used for building the detection model for judging whether the software is benign software or ransomware. We conduct our experiment using more suitable real ransomware samples. and it's results show that our proposed system can be more effective to improve the performance for ransomware detection.

This study explored how political figures build their image using twitters. To examine the research question, this study analyzed twitter messages in five political figures: Si-Min, Yu, Jung-hee, Lee, Mun-soo, Kim, and Young-gil, Song. The findings showed that except for Mrs. Lee, the other political figures presented more one-way messages than two-way messages in twitters. Even though twitter has benefits of communicating instantly and two-way communication between followers and followings, most messages in their twitters were limited to informative message. The study also classified the messages into social-oriented and individual-oriented in each politician' s twitter. The result presented that Mrs. Lee twitter included individual-oriented messages, but the other three political figures had more social-oriented messages.

This article aims to examine European reactions against the Ottoman mission headed by Enver Pasha, who was dispatched to China during the 'Boxer Uprising' in 1901. Based on Western archival documents, we can find reliable and informative correspondence about the attitude of the European countries toward the sultan's mission and its pan-Islamic plans in China. The coming of the Ottoman mission caused great reaction in such European countries as Britain, France, Germany and Russia, who were engaged in a competitive power struggle for an influential political and economic position in China. They kept a close watch on the sultan's envoy to find out his secret mission on the one hand and tried to persuade Enver Pasha not to work against their advantage in China on the other. From time to time, Abdul Hamid II (r. 1876-1909), the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, sent China an official mission and secret agents, through whom he tried to subjugate Chinese Muslims for his own advantage. The significance for the Ottoman Empire of any success in penetrating China by way of a pan-Islamic approach cannot be overrated, not only for political advantage but also for commercial and cultural benefit. Like other European countries, Ottomans could retain or gain rights which might bring them opportunities for free trade in opium and in other commodities. The sultan believed that they would constitute a great political factor to his advantage, because most of the tens of millions of Chinese Muslims recognized the Ottoman sultan as their caliph and praised him in their Friday sermon (Khutuba). Taking these factors into consideration, he decided to dispatch the Enver Pasha mission during the Boxer Uprising (1898-1901), responding to the suggestion of German Kaiser Wilhelm II. However, when the Ottoman mission arrived in China, the uprising had already been suppressed. This unexpected situation made the envoy initiate meaningful contacts with Chinese Muslims during its stay in China.

Despite the direct placement of sperm within the oocyte, fertilization failure still occurs after ICSI. This study was accomplished to analyze the chromosomes in oocytes failed to fertilize after ICSI comparing to oocytes failed to fertilize by conventional in vitro insemination. Seventy-four ICSI cycles and 122 conventional IVF cycles were included in analysis. Included unfertilized oocytes were from 74 patients (mean age = $32.7{\pm}3.7$). Ninety-three oocytes were informative and 83 oocytes were legible for cytogenetic analysis. Sixty-two oocytes out of 83 (74.7%) had normal chroruosomes, while 15 (18.1%) were hypoploidy, 6 (7.2%) were hyperploidy. Eighteen oocytes out of 93 (17.6%) were premature chromosome condensation (PCC). Two hundred ninety-four unfertilized oocytes after conventional insemination were subjected to chromosomal analysis and 180 oocytes were legible for analysis. One hundred thirty-two oocytes out of 180 (73.3%) were normal, while 22 (12.2%) were hypoploidy, 20 (11.1%) were hyperploidy, and 6 (3.3%) were polyploidy. Twenty-two oocytes (12.2%) were PCC. There was no difference in chromosomes between oocytes that failed to fertilize after ICSI or conventional insemination. High PCC rates in fertilization-failed oocytes suggest that oocytes maturity is another important factor in achieving successful fertilization.

Age-related problems especially corrosion and fatigue are normally suffered by weatherworn ships and aging offshore structures. The effect of corrosion is one of the important factors in the Common Structural Rule (CSR) guideline of the ship design based on a 20 or 25 years design life. The aim of this research is the clarification of the corrosion effect on ultimate strength of stiffened panels on various types of double hull oil tankers. In the case of ships, corrosion is a phenomenon caused by the ambient environment and it has different characteristics depending on the parts involved. Extensive research considering these characteristic have already done by previous researchers. Based on this data, the ultimate strength behavior of stiffened panels for four double hull oil tankers such as VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax, and Panamax classes are compared and analyzed. By considering hogging and sagging bending moments, the stiffened panels of the deck, inner bottom and outer bottom located far away from neutral axis of ship are assessed. The results of this paper will be useful in evaluating the ultimate strength of an oil tanker subjected to corrosion. These results will be an informative example to check the effect of ultimate strength of a stiffened panel according to corrosion addition from CSR for a given type of ship.

Phyllostachys consists of high and fast growing trees and is a genus in the family Gramineae. The genus has many species in Asia, with main distribution being in India and China. One of the most popular sequences for phylogenetic inference at the generic and infrageneric levels in plants is the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18S-5.8S-26S nuclear ribosomal cistron. We evaluated four taxa with the ITS region to estimate phenotypic relationships within the genus Phyllostachys in Korea. Alignment of the DNA sequences required the addition of numerous gaps. Sequence variation within the Phyllostachys was mostly due to natural selection, although several indels and inserts were found. Within the genus Phyllostachys, P. nigra and P. nigra var. henonis were the relatives in the three phylogenetic analyses (MP, ML, and NJ). However, some external nodes were poorly supported. Morphological traits and simple repeats (ISSR) represented the result of a relationship similar to the that of ITS sequences in the genus Phyllostachys. This suggests that ITS sequences are very informative for identification of these taxa.
