A new radiation scale is proposed. With empathy toward the vast majority of people who are not well versed in radiation and related matters, and thus suffering from misunderstanding that breeds unnecessary fear of radiation, the aim of proposing a new radiation scale, radiation index (RAIN), is to put the general public at ease with the concept of radiation. RAIN is defined in dimensionless numbers that relate any specific radiation dose to a properly defined reference level. As RAIN is expressed in plain numbers without an attached scientific unit, the public will feel comfortable with its friendly look, which in turn should help them understand radiation dose levels easily and allay their anxieties about radiation. The expanded awareness and proper understanding of radiation will empower the public to feel that they are not hopeless victims of radiation. The correspondence between RAIN and the specific accumulated dose is established. The equivalence will allow RAIN to serve as a common language of communication for the general public with which they can converse with radiation experts to discuss matters related to radiation safety, radiation diagnosis and therapy, nuclear accidents, and other related matters. Such fruitful dialogues will ultimately enhance public acceptance of radiation and associated technologies.

The results of this study, suggest public communication to promote the use of radiation as follows: first, suitable information for the recipient's perception patterns should be provided, as there is a difference in risk perception and acceptance between the experts and the public. Thus, information on the necessity of nuclear power should be provided to the public, while information based on technical risks is provided by the experts. Second, since the levels of perception, knowledge, and attitudes increased highly for sectors which use radiation after the class, classes should be provided continuously to increase students' perception, knowledge, and attitude, which are all preemptive variables which induce positive behavioral changes. Third, since the seven sectors which use radiation are highly correlated, arguments for the necessity of other sectors should be based on the necessity of the medical sector.

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.

The acceptance of unsolicited proposals (a private-initiated process) has been viewed by several governments as a means of encouraging innovative initiatives. However, the ramifications of this mechanism are still poorly understood. This paper analyzes a framework used by the Taiwanese government to evaluate unsolicited proposals. Taiwan's experience demonstrates the need for an improved framework in which key issues such as building consensus, maintaining a transparent procurement process, ensuring sufficient competition, and protecting intellectual property rights shall be addressed. In addition, the case study suggests that the roles of participants, the relationships and interfaces of activities, information flows, and decision making points should all be well defined. Some fundamental differences between solicited and unsolicited proposals are also discussed.

Misalignment between the electronic and mechanical axes of rotation will result in artifact generation and image degradation during single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) reconstruction. Acceptance and quality control testing procedures have not emphasized the variability in center of rotation(COR) measurements caused by collimators and the need to verify uniformity across the full collimator field of view (FOV). Variation from the mean COR across the FOV was tested in four different collimators using multiple point source acquisitions. The mean COR was different for each collimator and one of the four had a > 0.5 pixel difference from the mean COR on some area of the FOV, This variation makes this collimator unacceptable for SPECT acquisition. Thus, initial acceptance testing of SPECT collimators should verify a uniform COR across the full FOV and collimators with a variability from the mean COR > 0.5 pixels should be rejected.

This study aims to use ISM to identify the enablers affecting the acceptance of IoT services. For this purpose, this study conducted an ISM analysis and a MICMAC analysis, extracted the enablers from Internet of Things - An Action Plan for Europe published by the EU for the research, and conducted interviews and surveys. The study found that it would be preferentially necessary to prepare the base for successful IoT services through international cooperation and the security of objective data. In addition, it turned out that it would be necessary to make efforts to spread and develop IoT services by conducting R&D and implementing projects through public-private partnerships and the organization of a consultative group. Lastly, since information security and standardization are the desired objects of the IoT industry, it was found that both the government and the industrial world should focus on them. This study has significance in that it can provide practical implications for the effective acceptance of IoT services.

This paper addresses the central issue of whether it is effective for a firm to discourage the purchase of its own product in order to support a social cause. The objectives of this study were: a) to examine whether a cause-related self-prevention ad would stimulate more positive evaluations compared to promotional ad, particularly when the product category is more negatively socially accepted; and 2) to determine if a negative attitude toward the product could induce a boomerang effect of a selfprevention ad. Results from three experiments revealed that socially responsible prevention campaigns against firm's own product may be more effective for the product category negatively associated with social concerns or welfare. If products are more limited in the social context, communications of product prevention are beneficial to improve the public image of the brand. However, the self-hurting approach may be inappropriate for potential customers who currently possess a strong negative attitude toward the product.

이 논문은 TV광고의 일반인 모델 인식에 관하여, 기능적인 양적 분석의 과거 행태로부터 탈피하여, 심층적이고 효과적으로 접근할 수 있는 주관성연구인 실증적인 Q방법론으로 연구되었다. 또한 이 분석에서는 기존 논의에서 연역적인 가설을 도출하는 종래의 연구 방법과는 달리, 사람들의 주관적 이미지에 의한 새로운 가설발견의 목적이 있다. 구체적으로 Q요인분석이란 통계방법을 사용하며, R방법의 변수를 요인화가 아닌 사람을 요인화하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 TV광고의 일반인 모델에 대해 젊은 층의 수용행태 분석을 알아보는 것이다. 분석결과는 총 4가지의 유형{제 1유형[(N=7) : 광고 공감대형(Advertising Consensus Type)], 제 2유형[(N=7) : 광고 부정형(Advertising Negative Type)], 제 3유형[(N=5) : 광고 구매력 감소형(Advertising Purchasing Reduction Type)], 제 4유형[(N=1) : 광고 설득 지향형(Advertising Persuasion Orientation Type)]}으로 분류되었으며, 전반적으로 매우 차별적인 유형들로 발견되었다. 결론적으로, 이 연구는 TV광고의 일반인 모델인식에 대한 주로 젊은 응답자들의 주관적 수용 행태를 검토하였다. 또한 분석의 내용들은 관련 이슈와 아젠다 연구를 위한 발전적인 제안(개선)을 제시하는데 유의미한 논의를 제시하는 것이다.

블로그는 정보 공유와 관계 형성의 유력한 미디어로 인정되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 기술 수용 모델은 블로그와 같은 관계 지향적인 정보시스템에 대한 수용성을 설명하는 데 적합한지 증명되지 않은 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 블로그 사용에 영향 주는 요인을 규명하는 것이다. 이것을 위해 유력한 포털사이트인 네이버 블로거들을 대상으로 인지된 유용성 인지된 격려와 실제사용의 인과 관계를 대중적 자기 인식 자기노출과 텔레프레즌스를 변수로 검증하였다. 그 결과, 대중적 자기인식과 자기노출은 인지된 유용성과 인지된 격려의 유의미한 요인으로 보여지고 인지된 유용성과 인지된 격려는 블로그의 실제사용에 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 보여졌다.
