Along with the uprising of sustainability issues in the field of business and management, firms increasingly strategize and mobilize resources towards sustainability related activities and processes much more than ever. Together with this phenomenon, the concept of corporate sustainability has been noticed much more by scholars and practitioners from diverse fields. However, differently with an expectation, it is undoubted that there is a small controversy when we treat the issues related to its definition, antecedents, consequences, processes and so on. Based on this kind of understanding, this study tries to suggest and advance a new approach to the corporate sustainability based on the premises of social capital theory for social relations, which explains the role of institutions, and norms that shape firms 'social interactions. Main argument is that firm's voluntary, progressive, and proactive activities for sustainability issues can be understood as the firm's social capital building processes. Though there are a little existing study dealing with this issue, this study has a difference with them by proposing social capital building issues based on firm's real activities. Finally, case analyses based on a new approach are suggested and the theoretical considerations with some limitations are explained.

The steady-state behavior of recycling neutral atoms in a tokamak edge region has been analyzed through a two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation. A particle tracking algorithm used in earlier research on the neutral particle transport is applied to this Monte Carlo simulation in order to perform more accurate calculations with the EDGETRAN code which was previously developed for a two-dimensional edge plasma transport in the authors' laboratory. The physical model of neutral recycling includes charge-exchange and ionization interactions between plasmas and neutral atoms. The reflection processes of incident particles on the device wall are described by empirical formulas. Calculations for density, energy, and velocity distributions of neutral deuterium-tritium atoms have been carried out for a medium-sized tokamak with a double-null configuration based on the KT-2 conceptual design. The input plasma parameters such as plasma density, ion and electron temperatures, and ion fluid velocity are provided from the EDGETRAN calculations. As a result of the present numerical analysis, it is noticed that a significant drop of the neutral atom density appears in the region of high plasma density and that the similar distribution of neutral energy to that of plasma ions is present as frequently reported in other studies. Relations between edge plasma conditions and the neutral recycling behavior are discussed from the numerical results obtained herein.

The direction of Urban regeneration is changing toward holistic regeneration with residents' participation all over the world. While world leading projects in holistic regeneration such as "Ballymun of Ireland" and "Buffalo of U.S.A" appeared, recently in Korea, "Rainbow project" is getting paid attention as a similar example due to its Socio-Physical approach. The purpose of this study is to find the Effect of Socio-Physical Regeneration on Social Network characteristics of Elderly Residents in a public rental apartment. The subjects of the study are elderly residents who have resided since much before the environmental intervention. The research methods is in-depth interview. Specific features of social network included awareness of the physically improved surrounding environment, awareness of and participation in welfare programs, social interactions, identity, and vandalism behavior. As results, most of elderly residents recognized environmental improvement and felt very positive enough to enhance their attachment and pride in their residences. Physical environment changes had a considerable impact on the social network characteristics and also had a strong influence on their relations with community. Considering that permanent public rental housing has been a socially isolated place, it is significant to notice that residents' perception of being excluded and behaviors are changed gradually being influenced by environmental improvement.

The development of science and transportation technology leads to the increase of inter - city networks that play an important role in urban growth. Overall, numerous studies based on network theory pay attention to positive effects of urban network on urban growth. However, some studies have pointed out the negative effects of inter-city interactions such as straw effects. This implies that the network between cities may not be positively correlated with urban growth, and that the direction of the influence may vary from a certain threshold, such as the marginal utility curve. In this context, the purpose of this study is to measure the impacts of network with central city on urban growth in the capital region and examine the relationship between urban network and growth. Two multiple regression models are employed with changes in population and employment as dependent variables. The urban network index and other control variables are used as independent variables. Especially, the urban network indexes are used in quadratic forms to examine non linear relations with urban growth such U-shape or an inverted U-shape. The results show that the relationships between networks with the central city and urban growth are not a simple linear, and the influence can be changed from the critical point.

The current article examines the interactions among students' attitudes to e-learning, their implementation of e-learning in their studies, and learning effectiveness. Significantly, it emphasizes the mediating role of accepting e-learning in training. It applied reliability analyses to test the measurement of items and construct validity, using the research data collected from students at Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh. Then, the current article used multiple regressions to inspect the causal relations; and applied procedures to investigate the mediating influence. The empirical results indicate students' attitude to e-learning positively influences their implementation of e-learning in their studies. When students apply e-learning in their studies, they likely achieve the best possible training effectiveness. Statistical evidence on the mediating role of accepting e-learning in training by students on the linkage between their attitude to e-learning and training effectiveness is revealed in this article. The findings of this article make some contributions. For educational administrators, it offers insight into the links among students' attitudes to e-learning, their implementation of e-learning in their studies, and training effectiveness, which likely allows them to establish suitable online training programs. This will be beneficial to both learners and educational institutes.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to explore nurse-patient interaction behaviors and patient satisfaction with the interaction in the emergency department. Method: This study used video technology to record complete conversations between the nurse and patient, thus obtaining the interactions naturally occurring in a clinical setting. The participants were 28 nurses and 63 patients in the emergency department at one university hospital located in Seoul. The data was collected from November, 2002 to April, 2003. The video recordings were observed for 4 hours for each case and coded using an adapted version of Roter's Interaction Analysis System (RIAS), which yields frequencies of thirty-six types of interaction behaviors. Result: The information exchange related to therapeutic items including medications, simple orientation, and situational positive talk were characterized in the nurses' interaction behaviors. Giving information about one's own condition, questions about therapeutic regimen, and showing worry were characterized in patient interaction behaviors. The patients' satisfaction with the interaction was 37.75.9 (range 9-45). Conclusion: The emergency nurse-patient interaction behavior was task-related. The results suggest that identification of effective interaction behavior in the Emergency department and an interaction skill training program could increase patient satisfaction.

비디오 데이터에 존재하는 감정을 처리하는 것은 지능적인 인간과 컴퓨터와의 상호작용을 위해서 매우 중요한 일이다. 이러한 감정을 추출하기 위해서는 비디오로부터 감정에 관련된 특징들을 검출하기 위한 컴퓨팅 모델을 구축하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 셧에 존재하는 저급 특징들의 확률적인 분포를 이용하여 감정 이벤트 발생에 관련된 통계학적인 모델을 제안한다. 즉, 비디오 셧의 기본적인 특징을 추출하고 그 특징을 통계적으로 모델화 하여 감정을 유발하는 셧을 찾아낸다. 비디오 셧의 특징으로는 칼라, 카메라 모션 및 셧 길이의 변화를 이용한다. 이러한 특징들을 EM(Expectation Maximization) 알고리즘을 이용하여 GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model) 으로 모델링하고, 감정과 시간과의 관계를 MLE(Maximum Likelihood Estimation)를 이용하여 시간에 따른 확률분포 모델로 구성한다. 이런 두 개의 통계적인 모델들을 융합하여 베이시안 분류법을 적용하여 비디오 데이터로부터 감정에 관련된 셧을 찾아낸다.

I present a simple scheme for the treatment of gravitational interactions on galactic scales. In anal- ogy with known mechanisms of quantum field theory, I assume ad hoc that gravitation is mediated by virtual exchange particles-gravitons-with very small but non-zero masses. The resulting den- sity and mass profiles are proportional to the mass of the gravitating body. The mass profile scales with the centripetal acceleration experienced by a test particle orbiting the central mass, but this comes at the cost of postulating a universal characteristic acceleration $a_0{\approx}4.3{\times}10^{-12}msec^{-2}$ (or $8{\pi}a_0{\approx}1.1{\times}10^{-10}msec^{-2}$). The scheme predicts the asymptotic flattening of galactic rotation curves, the Tully-Fisher/Faber-Jackson relations, the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation of galaxies, the surface brightness-acceleration relation of galaxies, the kinematics of galaxy clusters, and "Renzo's rule" correctly; additional (dark) mass components are not required. Given that it is based on various ad-hoc assumptions and given further limitations, the scheme I present is not yet a consistent theory of gravitation; rather, it is a "toy model" providing a convenient scaling law that simplifies the description of gravity on galactic scales.

컴포넌트 기반 플랫폼이 갖는 주 한계점은 컴포넌트 기반 시스템이 갖는 컴포넌트간 상호작용과 관련된 행위에 대한 기술과 추론에 대한 적당한 수단을 제대로 제공하지 못한다는 것이다. 현 컴포넌트 기반 플래폼이 CORBA의 IDL과 같은 컴포넌트에 대한 시그네쳐 수준에서의 기술을 위한 방법을 제공하기는 하지만, 이는 컴포넌트들간 상호작용과 같은 행위 기술을 저 수준에서 제공하는 것에 불과하다 컴포넌트 기반 시스템에서 중요한 과제 중 하나는 바로 컴포넌트들간 상호작용과 같은 행위를 기술하는 것과 이를 바탕으로 행위에 대한 검증이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 프로세스 대수를 이용하여 컴포넌트 인터페이스의 명세 정의와 추상화된 소프트웨어 아키텍처를 어떻게 만족시킬 것인가를 보장받기위한 role의 결합방법, 생성된 아키텍처에 대한 전개규칙, 시각화방법을 연구한다. 또한 사례연구를 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 명세기법 및 정의의 타당함을 보였다.

도시에서 범죄는 해당 지역 인구의 사회경제적 특징과 공간적 상호관계를 반영한다. 범죄의 피의자와 피해자 사이의 상호작용은 범죄패턴의 공간적 자기상관으로 나타난다. 이러한 범죄의 공간자기상관은 일반적인 최소자승모델에서 편향된 추정치를 제공하여 잘못된 해석으로 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구는 도시주거범죄로서 2000년에 오하이오주 콜럼버스에서 발생한 주거 강도와 절도를 분석 하였다. 특히 주거 범죄율의 공간적 분포패턴은 공간자기상관을 반영하는 아이겐벡터(Eigenvector)를 이용하여 최소자승모델로 분석 하였다. 아이겐 벡터를 이용한 공간자기상관의 필터링은 기존의 모델에서는 잔차에 남아있던 공간자기상관 요소를 설명하기 때문에, 더 효율적인 추정을 가능하게 하였다. 경제적 궁핍과 범죄의 기회가 주거범죄율을 추정하는데 통계적으로 유의미한 요인이었다.
