Software process (SP) authentication is a certification system designed in order to improve software process and ensure software reliability of the Korean small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It is composed of 3 grades, 17 evaluation items and 70 detailed evaluation items (software process). In order to certificate grade 2, 42 detailed evaluation items must be satisfied. In order to certificate grade 3, all 70 detailed evaluation items must be satisfied. SMEs are more vulnerable to manpower and material resources than the major company. Therefore, it is difficult for SMEs to invest in the long term to improve the software process. If we can provide the core evaluation items to SMEs, SMEs will be able to improve software quality more efficiently and effectively. It can be used as a short way to acquire SP authentication. The evaluation items of SP are defined as influencing each other. Therefore, the core evaluation items might be established using related techniques. Although we searched for previous researches and related informations, the associated study was insufficient. In this study, ANP (Analytic Network Process) technique was applied, and the core evaluation items of SP authentication were established. SMEs will be able to acquire SP authentication more easily using the core evaluation items. Finally, we expect that this study will be used as a basis material for creating the SP 2.0 version.

This research is to restructure the public assessment of housing management in a standardized fashion, and a self-administered questionnaire survey was employed for data collection and analysis. In doing so, all the assessment tools nationwide were identified and assembled to extract the items included in the survey form. The survey form was mailed out to local officers in charge of housing management and professional housing managers in the nation, and the responses were statistically analyzed in order to structure the standard assessment tool of housing management. This research classified 3 main areas (General Maintenance, Operation and Community Living) in evaluating the housing management performance, and identified 35 essential items and 52 optional items. The 35 essential items were drawn from the 16 categories of the 3 areas (11 items of 5 categories for General Maintenance, 7 items of 4 categories for Operation, and 17 items of 7 categories for Community Living), and the rest 52 optional items were from the 16 categories of the 3 areas (24 items of 7 categories for General Maintenance, 26 items of 7 categories for Operation, and 2 items of 2 categories for Community Living). While all the items in the research are quantifiable, it's suggested that qualitative measurements be complementarily utilized in the assessment not only to explore the best practices of housing management but also to refine and modify the standardized tool in response to various environmental changes. As the public assessment of housing management is context-sensitive and critically related to local housing profile, the continuous implementation of the assessment will facilitate shifting the housing paradigm from production and consumption to management and reproduction.

This study investigates the effects of serving medicinal food items on the dietary intake of elderly inpatients. A total of 77 elderly inpatients at a long-term senior care hospital in Yeongju participated in this study. Control and medicinal food items were provided for 20 days (March 24 through April 12, 2014, and April 14 through May 3, 2014, respectively). A satisfaction survey was conducted for both control and medicinal food items on the last day of the respective serving period. Data were analyzed by using SPSS (Windows ver. 21.0). The satisfaction level was higher for medicinal food items than for control food items. The leftover rate was higher for control food items than for medicinal food items. The intake of energy, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamin A, thiamin, niacin, potassium, and zinc was higher for medicinal food items than for control food items. These results indicate that the dietary intake of elderly inpatients was higher for medicinal food items than for control food items. This suggests that medicinal food items can help increase the nutrient intake of elderly inpatients and implies that such food items may be more desirable for a long-term senior care hospital diet. A prospective analysis of the long-term control is needed to establish the effects of medicinal food items on elderly patients.
