As mobile devices that can be connected to the Internet have spread and networking has become possible whenever/wherever, the Internet has become central in the dissemination and consumption of news. Accordingly, the ways news is gathered, disseminated, and consumed have changed greatly. In the traditional news media such as magazines and newspapers, expert editors determined what events were worthy of deploying their staffs or freelancers to cover and what stories from newswires or other sources would be printed. Furthermore, they determined how these stories would be displayed in their publications in terms of page placement, space allocation, type sizes, photographs, and other graphic elements. In turn, readers-news consumers-judged the importance of news not only by its subject and content, but also through subsidiary information such as its location and how it was displayed. Their judgments reflected their acceptance of an assumption that these expert editors had the knowledge and ability not only to serve as gatekeepers in determining what news was valuable and important but also how to rank its value and importance. As such, news assembled, dispensed, and consumed in this manner can be said to be expert-based recommended news. However, in the era of Internet news, the role of expert editors as gatekeepers has been greatly diminished. Many Internet news sites offer a huge volume of news on diverse topics from many media companies, thereby eliminating in many cases the gatekeeper role of expert editors. One result has been to turn news users from passive receptacles into activists who search for news that reflects their interests or tastes. To solve the problem of an overload of information and enhance the efficiency of news users' searches, Internet news sites have introduced numerous recommendation techniques. Recommendations based on popularity constitute one of the most frequently used of these techniques. This popularity-based approach shows a list of those news items that have been read and shared by many people, based on users' behavior such as clicks, evaluations, and sharing. "most-viewed list," "most-replied list," and "real-time issue" found on news sites belong to this system. Given that collective intelligence serves as the premise of these popularity-based recommendations, popularity-based news recommendations would be considered highly important because stories that have been read and shared by many people are presumably more likely to be better than those preferred by only a few people. However, these recommendations may reflect a popularity bias because stories judged likely to be more popular have been placed where they will be most noticeable. As a result, such stories are more likely to be continuously exposed and included in popularity-based recommended news lists. Popular news stories cannot be said to be necessarily those that are most important to readers. Given that many people use popularity-based recommended news and that the popularity-based recommendation approach greatly affects patterns of news use, a review of whether popularity-based news recommendations actually reflect important news can be said to be an indispensable procedure. Therefore, in this study, popularity-based news recommendations of an Internet news portal was compared with top placements of news in printed newspapers, and news users' judgments of which stories were personally and socially important were analyzed. The study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, content analyses were used to compare the content of the popularity-based news recommendations of an Internet news site with those of the expert-based news recommendations of printed newspapers. Five days of news stories were collected. "most-viewed list" of the Naver portal site were used as the popularity-based recommendations; the expert-based recommendations were represented by the top pieces of news from five major daily newspapers-the Chosun Ilbo, the JoongAng Ilbo, the Dong-A Daily News, the Hankyoreh Shinmun, and the Kyunghyang Shinmun. In the second stage, along with the news stories collected in the first stage, some Internet news stories and some news stories from printed newspapers that the Internet and the newspapers did not have in common were randomly extracted and used in online questionnaire surveys that asked the importance of these selected news stories. According to our analysis, only 10.81% of the popularity-based news recommendations were similar in content with the expert-based news judgments. Therefore, the content of popularity-based news recommendations appears to be quite different from the content of expert-based recommendations. The differences in importance between these two groups of news stories were analyzed, and the results indicated that whereas the two groups did not differ significantly in their recommendations of stories of personal importance, the expert-based recommendations ranked higher in social importance. This study has importance for theory in its examination of popularity-based news recommendations from the two theoretical viewpoints of collective intelligence and popularity bias and by its use of both qualitative (content analysis) and quantitative methods (questionnaires). It also sheds light on the differences in the role of media channels that fulfill an agenda-setting function and Internet news sites that treat news from the viewpoint of markets.

Operations research has developed rapidly since its origins in World War II. Practitioners of O. R. have contributed to almost every aspect of government and business. More recently, a number of operations researchers have turned their attention to library and information systems, and the author believes that significant research has resulted. It is the purpose of this essay to introduce the library audience to some of these accomplishments, to present some of the author's hypotheses on the subject of library management to which he belives O. R. has great potential, and to suggest some future research directions. Some problem areas in librianship where O. R. may play a part have been discussed and are summarized below. (1) Library location. It is usually necessary to make balance between accessibility and cost In location problems. Many mathematical methods are available for identifying the optimal locations once the balance between these two criteria has been decided. The major difficulties lie in relating cost to size and in taking future change into account when discriminating possible solutions. (2) Planning new facilities. Standard approaches to using mathematical models for simple investment decisions are well established. If the problem is one of choosing the most economical way of achieving a certain objective, one may compare th althenatives by using one of the discounted cash flow techniques. In other situations it may be necessary to use of cost-benefit approach. (3) Allocating library resources. In order to allocate the resources to best advantage the librarian needs to know how the effectiveness of the services he offers depends on the way he puts his resources. The O. R. approach to the problems is to construct a model representing effectiveness as a mathematical function of levels of different inputs(e.g., numbers of people in different jobs, acquisitions of different types, physical resources). (4) Long term planning. Resource allocation problems are generally concerned with up to one and a half years ahead. The longer term certainly offers both greater freedom of action and greater uncertainty. Thus it is difficult to generalize about long term planning problems. In other fields, however, O. R. has made a significant contribution to long range planning and it is likely to have one to make in librarianship as well. (5) Public relations. It is generally accepted that actual and potential users are too ignorant both of the range of library services provided and of how to make use of them. How should services be brought to the attention of potential users? The answer seems to lie in obtaining empirical evidence by controlled experiments in which a group of libraries participated. (6) Acquisition policy. In comparing alternative policies for acquisition of materials one needs to know the implications of each service which depends on the stock. Second is the relative importance to be ascribed to each service for each class of user. By reducing the level of the first, formal models will allow the librarian to concentrate his attention upon the value judgements which will be necessary for the second. (7) Loan policy. The approach to choosing between loan policies is much the same as the previous approach. (8) Manpower planning. For large library systems one should consider constructing models which will permit the skills necessary in the future with predictions of the skills that will be available, so as to allow informed decisions. (9) Management information system for libraries. A great deal of data can be available in libraries as a by-product of all recording activities. It is particularly tempting when procedures are computerized to make summary statistics available as a management information system. The values of information to particular decisions that may have to be taken future is best assessed in terms of a model of the relevant problem. (10) Management gaming. One of the most common uses of a management game is as a means of developing staff's to take decisions. The value of such exercises depends upon the validity of the computerized model. If the model were sufficiently simple to take the form of a mathematical equation, decision-makers would probably able to learn adequately from a graph. More complex situations require simulation models. (11) Diagnostics tools. Libraries are sufficiently complex systems that it would be useful to have available simple means of telling whether performance could be regarded as satisfactory which, if it could not, would also provide pointers to what was wrong. (12) Data banks. It would appear to be worth considering establishing a bank for certain types of data. It certain items on questionnaires were to take a standard form, a greater pool of data would de available for various analysis. (13) Effectiveness measures. The meaning of a library performance measure is not readily interpreted. Each measure must itself be assessed in relation to the corresponding measures for earlier periods of time and a standard measure that may be a corresponding measure in another library, the 'norm', the 'best practice', or user expectations.

Objective : In order to investigate and improve public Korean medical health service satisfaction level, this study was designed. Method : A questionnaire has been conducted on 212 patients who received treatments at six public health centers in the northern part of Gyeongbuk during 15 days between Sep. 24 and Oct. 8, 2011. Result : 1. An Investigation on the usage of herbal clinics in public health centers reveals that 63.7% have received three times or more medical treatments previously and 61.8% have had their illness treated at other medical institutions. In regard to illness 32.1% have had arthritis or muscle aches. 50.9% have taken insurance medication after having had treatments at the public health centers. 66% have assessed acupuncture and moxa cautery the most satisfying. 2. To a question regarding whether herbal health treatment costs higher than that of physician's, the highest response at 31.6% is 'No'. And to a question regarding whether herbal medicines administered at public health centers have more side effects than that of physician's, the highest response at 39.6% is 'No'. 3. To a question regarding whether herbal treatment of public health centers has little effect against acute disease, 48.1% of responses are 'Fair'. To a question regarding whether herbal treatments, when compared with physician's treatments, boost better recovery of patients, 48.1% of responses are 'Fair'. To a question regarding whether herbal medicine is unscientific, when compared with that of western medicine, 38.2% of responses are 'Fair', To a question regarding whether herbal medicine has faster effect on disease than western medicine, 41.0% of responses are 'Fair'. To a question regarding whether herbal medicine is more effective on disease prevention and promotion of health than disease treatment, 38.2% of responses are 'Fair'. And to a question regarding whether the lack of various types of physical therapy devices in herbal medicine, when compared with western medicine causes inconvenience in herbal treatment, 42.0% of responses are 'Fair'. Those responses take up highest portion at each questionnaire. 4. A comparative study between herbal treatments and physician's treatments has also been conducted. To questions regarding which one of the two considering types of disease is the better, responses are the latter accounted for 43.9% against 'Cancer', the latter accounted for 45.3% against 'Endocrine disorders', the former accounted for 30.7% against 'Psychiatric disorders', the latter accounted for 38.2% gainst 'Otolaryngological(ENT) disease', the former accounted for 47.6% against 'Post traumatic stress disorder', and the former accounted for 52.4% against 'Muscle-skeletal disease'. 5. An investigation on frequency of patients' visits via (p<0.05) of subjects show a statistically significant difference. 6. First, an investigation on frequency of reasons of medical treatments reveal that age, occupation, monthly income, and insurance type (p<0.05) of subjects show a statistically significant difference. Secondly, an investigation on frequency of subjects taking insurance medicines after herbal health treatments reveal that monthly income (p<0.05) of subject shows a statistically significant difference. 7. First, an investigation on frequency of a claim that herbal treatments of public health center does not have great effect on acute disease reveals that age, education, and insurance type (p<0.05) of subjects show a statistically significant difference. Secondly, an investigation on frequency of analysis that herbal treatments has faster effect on disease compared with western treatments reveals that education level, religion, monthly income, and insurance type (p<0.05) of subjects show a statistically significant difference. 8. When herbal clinics of public health centers and general herbal medicine institutions are compared, a survey on additional treatments that herbal clinics need the most reveals that education level, monthly income, and insurance type (p<0.05) of subjects show a statistically significant difference. Secondly, an investigation on frequency of subjects who want various forms of herbal medicines reveals that occupation and insurance type (p<0.05) of subjects show a statistically significant difference. Conclusion : In order to improve efficiency of treatments and enhance patient's satisfaction level, this study suggests measures such as providing a differentiated acupuncture treatments as a whole, streamlining an reception procedure, adopting more elaborated computer system for a patient to get proper medical attention, standardizing a treatment duration in order for a maximum result, keeping regular office hours, and optimizing a consultation time for a patient.

This study was attempted to investigate the mechanical properties of concrete and crack control effects of reinforced concrete with steel and glass fiber. The experimental program includes tests on the properties of fresh concrete containing fibers, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, Young's modulus, Shrinkage and deformation of steel or glass fiber reinforced concrete. Also this study was carried out to investigate the effect of steel or glass fiber to retard the development in reinforced concrete subject to uniaxial tension and thus facilitate the use of steels of higher strength. The major conclusions that can be drawn from the studies are as follows: 1. The effect of the fibers in various mixes on fresh concrete confirmed that fibers do have a significant effect on the properties of fresh concrete, bringing much more stable and exhibiting a signiflcant reduction in surface bleeding, and that the cohesion is greatly improved and the internal resistance increases with fiber concentration. But the addition of an excess contents and length of fibers brings about the reduction of workability. 2. With the addition of steel fibers(1.5% Vol.) to concrete, the compressive strength as compared with plain concrete showed a very slight increase, but excess addition, over 1.5% Vol. of steel and glass fiber reduced its strength. 3. Splitting tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant increase tendency, as compared with plain concrete. In case of containing steel fiber (2.5%, 30mm), it showed that the maximum increase rate of 1.48 times as much rate, and in case of containing glass fiber (2.5%, 30mm), the increase rate of strength was 1.25 times as much rate. 4. Flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant tendency, as compared with plain concrete. Containing steel fiber (2.5%, 30mm) showed the maximum increase rate of 1.64 times as much rate and containing glass fiber (2.5%, 30mm) showed the increase rate of strength of 1.32 times as much rate, and in general, the 30mm length brougth the best results. 5. The strength ratio ($\sigma$b/$\sigma$c and $\sigma$t/$\sigma$c) increased, when steel fiber's average spacing was up to 3.05mm, but decreased when beyond 3.05mm, and it was confirmed that tensile or flexural strengths of steel fiber reinforced concrete are apparently governed by fiber's average spacing. 6. The compressive strain of fiber reinforced concrete showed a significant increasing tendency as the fiber was added, but Young's modulus. with the addition of steel and glass fibers, showed a slight decrease tendency. And according to the increase of flexural strength, a considerable increase was seen in toughness. 7. With the addition of fiber's the shrinkage of concrete was significantly decreased, in both case of adding steel fibers 12.5%, 30mm, and showed a significant decrease ratio, in average 30.4% and 36.7%, as compared with plain concrete. 8. With the increase of fiber volume fraction and length, the gained stress in reinforcing bar in concrete specimens increased in all crack widths, but at different rates, with the decrease of fiber diameter, the stress showed a considerable increasing tendency. And the duoform steel fibers showed the greatest improvement, as compared with the other types tested. 9. The influence of fiber dimensions in order of significanse on the machanical properties of concrete and the crack control of reinforced concrete was explained as follows: content, length, aspect ratio and dimeter.

목 적 : 신생아기와 조기 영아기에 발생한 기계환기요법이 필요했던 중증 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) 감염의 임상적 특성을 고찰하여 그 임상적 특성을 파악함으로써 이 질환의 진료에 도움이 되는 임상 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2005년 3월부터 2007년 7월까지 분당서울대학교병원 중환자실에 RSV 감염으로 입원한 6개월 미만의 신생아와 영아들 중 기계환기요법을 필요로 했던 12명의 의무기록을 열람하여 임상적 특성을 분석하였다. RSV 감염은 환아의 비인두흡인물 또는 경기관지흡인액 내에서 RSV 항원이 효소면역법 또는 PCR 방법으로 검출된 경우로 하였다. 결 과 : 입원 시 환아들의 나이는 $35{\pm}15$일(범위, 14-59일)이었고 모두 RSV 유행기인 9월부터 3월 사이에 입원하였다. 환아들의 출생체중은 $2.8{\pm}0.6kg$, 재태연령은 $37{\pm}2$주였다. 12명의 환아들 중 4명은 미숙아였으며 이중 3명은 재태연령 34주에서 36주 사이의 준만삭아였다. 10명의 환아들이 입원 $4{\pm}2$일 전부터 경미한 상기도 감염 증상(비 폐쇄, 기침, 콧물)을 보였고 입원 $0{\pm}1$일 후에는 모든 환아들이 뚜렷한 호흡기 이상 징후(빈호흡, 흉곽함몰, 청색증, 비익확장)를 보였다. 9명의 환아들이 무호흡을 보였고, 이 중에 5명은 무호흡 자체가 기계환기요법의 사유가 되었다. 무호흡이 의료진에 의해 확인된 시점부터 뚜렷한 호흡기 이상 징후 또는 청진 상 나음 또는 천명 소견이 나타난 시점까지 $1{\pm}2$일이 걸렸으며, 이 중에 3명은 무호흡이 의료진에 의해 확인되었을 때 뚜렷한 호흡기 이상 징후 또는 진찰소견을 보이지 않았고 1-3일이 지난 후에야 그러한 징후 또는 진찰소견을 보였다. 환아들의 기계환기요법 기간은 $3{\pm}2$일, 중환자실 체류기간은 $6{\pm}2$일이었고 입원 중 사망한 환아는 없었다. 결 론 : RSV는 미숙아로 태어난 경우가 아니라도 생후 2개월 미만의 신생아 및 조기 영아들에게 중증의 호흡기 감염을 초래할 수 있으며 뚜렷한 호흡기 이상 징후가 나타나기 전에 치명적인 무호흡이 발생할 수 있으므로 이 연령의 영아들이 RSV 유행기에 경미한 상기도 감염 증상을 보이거나 RSV 감염에 노출될 위험이 높은 상황에서는 매우 조심스러운 추적관찰이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

영어와 달리 한국어나 일본어 문장의 경우 용언의 필수격을 채우는 명사구가 생략되는 무형대용어 현상이 빈번하다. 특히 백과사전이나 위키피디아의 문서에서 표제어로 채울 수 있는 격의 경우 그 격이 문장에서 더 쉽게 생략된다. 정보검색, 질의응답 시스템 등 주요 지능형 응용시스템들은 백과사전류의 문서에서 주요한 정보를 추출하여 수집하여야 한다. 그러나 이러한 명사구 생략 현상으로 인해 양질의 정보추출이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 백과사전 종류 문서에서 생략된 명사구 즉 무형대용어를 복원하는 시스템의 개발을 다루었다. 우리 시스템이 다루는 문제는 자연어처리의 무형대용어 해결 문제와 거의 유사하나, 우리 문제의 경우 문서의 일부가 아닌 표제어도 복원에 이용할 수 있다는 점이 다르다. 무형대용어 복원을 위해서는 먼저 무형대용어의 탐지 즉 문서 내에서 명사구 생략이 일어난 곳을 찾는 작업을 수행한다. 그 다음 무형대용어의 선행어 탐색 즉 무형대용어의 복원에 사용될 명사구를 문서 내에서 찾는 작업을 수행한다. 문서 내에서 선행어를 발견하지 못하면 표제어를 이용한 복원을 시도해 본다. 우리 방법의 특징은 복원에 사용된 문장성분을 찾기 위해 Structural SVM을 사용하는 것이다. 문서 내에서 생략이 일어난 위치보다 앞에 나온 명사구들에 대해 Structural SVM에 의한 시퀀스 레이블링(sequence labeling) 작업을 시행하여 복원에 이용 가능한 명사구인 선행어를 찾아내어 이를 이용하여 복원 작업을 수행한다. 우리 시스템의 성능은 F1 = 68.58로 측정되었으며 이는 의미정보의 이용 없이 달성한 점을 감안하면 높은 수준으로 평가된다.

예비 방사선 작업 종사자인 방사선학과 대학생을 대상으로 방사선 기초 개념과 공간선량 인식, 방사선 안전 인식에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. X선 촬영 실습실에서 X선 조사 시 발생하는 공간선량을 학생들이 직접 측정함으로써 방사선 기초 개념과 공간선량 인식에 따른 실험 전 후의 방사선 안전 인식 변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과 실험 후에 학생들의 방사선 안전 인식이 보수적이고 엄격하게 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 방사선학과 대학생들의 경우 방사선 안전 인식 보다 직업의식이 앞서는 형태를 볼 수 있었는데 이는 의료적 이용에 따른 이득을 우선적으로 고려한 결과로 생각된다. 이에 따라 의료적 이익의 범위 내에서 방사선 이용에 따른 세분화된 안전교육 프로그램이 필요성이 요구된다. 따라서 시청각 자료를 이용한 단순한 강의 중심의 안전 교육이 아닌, 직접 공간선량 측정 실험과 같은 체험적 안전 교육 프로그램을 제안하는 바이며 방사선 안전 인식의 보수적인 관점과 엄격한 태도를 지향하는 직업의식 교육이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다.

본 연구는 파파리반딧불이 (Hotaria papcrinsis), 애반딧불이 (Luciola lateralis) 및 늦반딧 불이 (Pyrocoelia fufa)등 국내 주요 반딧불이 종의 유전적 분화 및 계통분류학적 관련을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 mtDNA의 COI유전자 및 16S rRNA유전자 일부의 염기서열 (각 403bp 및 490bp~504bp)을 분석하였으며 아울러 GenBank에 등록된 일본 반딧불이 29종(반딧불이과 27종, 홍반딧과 1종 및 Rhagophthalmus과 1종)의 16S rRNA유전자의 동일부위 염기서열을 사용하였다. 국내 세 종간의 COI및 16S rRNA유전자의 염기서열 그리고 COI유전자의 아미노산 분화정도를 비교한 결과, 반딧불이아과(Lampyrinae)의 늦반딧불이는 애반딧불이아과(Luciolinae)에 공통적으로 속해있는 애반딧불이 및 파파리반딧불이와 다소 큰 유전적 차이를 나타냄으로 기존의 분류학적 위치를 확인하였다. 16S rRNA유전자의 염기서열을 이용, PAUP과 PHYLIP에 의한 계통분류학적 분석 결과, 우리 나라 애반딧불이는 일본 애반딧불이와 강력한 단일그룹을 형성하였으나 이들간 상당한 유전적 차이 (2.9%의 16S rRNA유전자 염기분화율)를 보였다. 국내 두 지역의 파파리반딧불이는 일본 대마도 고유종인 H. tsushimana와 같은 계통그룹을 형성하였으므로 Hotaria란 속명의 사용이 타당해 보이나 파파리반딧불이는 지역 개체간 자매분류군을 형성하지 않으므로 이에 대한 추가 연구가 요망되는 실정이다. 마지막으로, 국내 늦반딧불이 지역 개체가 일본 늦반딧불이와 강력한 단일 계통그룹을 형성한 점으로 미루어 Pyrocoelia란 속명의 사용은 타당해 보이나 다른 모든 늦반딧불이로부터 큰 유전적 거리론 보인 제주도 개체에 대한 추가적인 연구가 요망되는 실정이다. 결론적으로, 국내 반딧불이 종들은 일본에서 공통적으로 발생하는 반딧불이종 또는 속과 아주 강력한 계통그룹을 형성하였으므로 기존의 계통관련 연구를 지지하고 있는 실정이다.
