Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) spread-spectrum techniques will playa key role in short range wireless connectivity supporting high bit rates availability and low power consumption. UWB can be used in the design of wireless local and personal area networks providing advanced integrated multimedia services to nomadic users within hot-spot areas. Thus the assessment of the possible interference caused by UWB devices on already existing narrowband and wideband systems is fundamental to ensure nonconflicting coexistence and, therefore, to guarantee acceptance of UWB technology worldwide. In this paper, we study the coexistence issues between an indoor UWB-based system (hot-spot) and outdoor point to point (PP) links and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) systems operating in the 3.5 - 5.0 GHz frequency range. We consider a realistic UWB master/slave system architecture and we show through computer simulation, that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist with PP and FWA without causing any dangerous interference.

This study suggests 5 evaluation criteria (safety and technology, environmental impact, economic feasibility, social factors, and institutional factors) and 24 evaluation indicators for a NFC (nuclear fuel cycle) derived using factor analysis. To do so, a survey using 1 on 1 interview was given to nuclear energy experts and local residents who live near nuclear power plants. In addition, by conducting a factor analysis, homogeneous evaluation indicators were grouped with the same evaluation criteria, and unnecessary evaluation criteria and evaluation indicators were dropped out. As a result of analyzing the weight of evaluation criteria with the sample of nuclear power experts and the general public, both sides recognized safety as the most important evaluation criterion, and the social factors such as public acceptance appeared to be ranked as more important evaluation criteria by the nuclear energy experts than the general public.

This paper will concentrate on how various particular Southeast Asian conditions created a distinct Southeast Asian cultural identity despite a very challenging geographical and historical diversity in the region. The paper will argue that Southeast Asians demonstrate an ability to adapt to changes and new values but also exhibit fatalism through a very high degree of passive acceptance to political and other changes that affect their society. The paper identifies a degree of environmental and geographical uniqueness in Southeast Asia that shapes context and gives rise to very distinct cultural traits. The historical transformation in the region brought about by colonialism and nationalism, combined with this geographical and political make-up of the region, had an immense impact on Southeast Asian society as it fostered adaptability. Finally, the political transitions brought about by various conflicts and wars that continued to affect the area in rapid succession all throughout the 20^th century likewise contributed immensely to a local Southeast Asian fatalistic response towards change. Historically, Southeast Asia demonstrated these socio-cultural responses to such an extent that these are argued to permeate the region forming a distinct aspect of Southeast Asian culture.

As offshore wind farms are developed, the importance of cooperation with stakeholders such as fishermen from the initial phase is gradually increasing. This study developed a methodology that can promote the involvement of fishermen in the site feasibility review process. The spatial scope is Gunsan City, which is establishing an initial offshore wind project strategy. A survey was conducted for representatives of 12 fishing villages on the location preference for offshore wind farms. As a result, fishermen suggested negotiable or absolute opposite locations by examining a local sea map. Location preference seems to depend on the degrees of vitalization of fisheries using vessels. This study shows that fishermen can have reasonable opinions according to the location, not unconditionally, in initial discussions on offshore wind power. Investigating stakeholders with various positions is essential, and adjustments are needed for conflicting points in the future.

In recent years, the social network service (SNS) and the location-based social network service (LBSNS) industry is expanding and the competition within the field is increasing much more. Since 2010, the full-scaled studies of SNS and LBSNS have begun. With the growth of SNS and LBSNS markets, SoLoMo (Social-Local-Mobile) is also becoming the trend for applications in different fields. However, despite the importance of SoLoMo, there have been little studies on the characteristics of SoLoMo applications. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of characteristics and perceived privacy risk of mobile location-based SNS on intention to use SoLoMo applications. For the purpose, we proposed a SoLoMo service acceptance model with TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) and the characteristics of SoLoMo applications. The characteristics consist of three factors, i.e. SNS, location, and mobile-related factors. This study also considered a gamification and a perceived privacy risk factor influencing on SoLoMo service usage in our proposed research model. The results of our empirical analysis using partial least squares (PLS) method show that the characteristics of SoLoMo applications including SNS, location, and mobile-related features, gamification, and perceived privacy risk have partially an effect on intention to use SoLoMo applications. Based on these results, SoLoMo-related companies will be able to increase the usage of SoLoMo services by differentiating their own strategies with these factors influencing on SoLoMo services.

This study investigated the anxiety of families of psychiatric patients at discharge. The purpose was to contribute to the improvement of psychiatric nursing care, rehabilitation and social adjustment of psychiatric patients and community mental health. The objectives of this study were to identify the acceptance of the psychiatric nurse by the families, their anxiety at the time of discharge, whether any help was wanted to reduce anxiety, the attitude toward the patient after discharge and feelings about the patients. The population studied consisted of 180 family members of patients from 10 mental hospitals (including local clinic) in Seoul and Kyung- Ki province, from March I to April 30, 1977. The date were collected by an interview schedule, and compared and analysed by Computer usings х$^2$- test. Results were as follows : 1. Many of the families(83.6%) expressed a acceptance of psychiatric nurse. 2. A little more than half of the families(51.1%) expressed happiness but a largo portion (38.9%) had "anxious" feelings at discharge. 3. Almost all families(92.6%) wanted a physician′s help to reduce discharge anxiety. Younger families tended to want the physician′s help more. 4. Many of the families(83.1%) wanted a nurse′s help. Families of parents patients admitted for the 1 st time wanted the nurse′s help more. 5. Comparing the feelings at a previous discharge with the present discharge, 49.1% of the family expressed greater happiness at tile latter than the former. 6. More than half the families responded positively toward the patient. Unmarried family members responded more positively than married Families of 1 st admission patients responded more positively than families of readmission patients. 7. Many families(78.8%)had positively feelings toward the patients. More negative responses came from women than from men, from lower education levels, lower incomes and readmission patients.

Information system audit, by checking overall matters about constructing and managing information system, has to contribute to improvement of information system's quality and improving performance of projects. For this, an auditor has to present objective corroborative facts which back up result of audit and ways of improvement, but in reality, general(especially businessmen's) cognition is that audit is biased by way too subjective opinions. Local experience and theoretical research until now propose that tools of automating audit will be an active means of systematically collecting and proposing these objective evidences of audit. This research not only verified that in the field of audit, phenomenon of technology application can be explained and predicted by applying TAM, but it also contributed in extending theoretical base on information technology and audit by distinguishing several characteristics which appear in the process of the model's application and analysis.
