  • Purpose: This paper (1) identifies the factors that affect people's changing habits towards waste sorting, (2) evaluates the benefits of waste sorting to the environment and (3) designs communication strategies to change people's behavior and habits in sorting plastic waste in Ho Chi Mnh City, Vietnam. Research design, data and methodology: Using the data from 309 people that are living in Ho Chi Minh City and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), to evaluate variables and test the hypotheses. Results: Research results show that attitudes, subjective standards, behavioral control, and facilities affect people's intention to classify plastic waste. We find that environmental concerns greatly influence people's attitudes. In contrast, environmental concerns have a relatively weaker effect on people's degree of behavioral control. Conclusion: Environmental protection is a matter of concern in the world. In Vietnam, this issue has been institutionalized into law to create a basis for improving the effectiveness of environmental protection activities. This article has some limitations. Firstly, sample is limited to HCMC residents; the study results are not representative of the entire population of Vietnam. This paper is based on cross-sectional data, which is not the best way to establish a causal relationship between the intention to sort plastic waste and its drivers.

  • Under the pressure of business competition and effectiveness, more and more organizations in the world are likely to apply modern software such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) which can help them to create better organizing practice, better managing capabilities of administrators, and better operations of personnel. In Vietnam, many firms are afraid to install it and the number of firms adopting this software is limited mainly due to the insufficient scientific evidence of the successful implementation of ERP. This study aims to identify and measure the factors influencing the successful implementation of ERP of firms in Vietnam. Qualitative research methodology combined with quantitative research methodology is used. The data are surveyed with 343 administrators of 45 organizations that have successfully deployed ERP in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh cities. Of these 19 were excluded from analyses due to unsatisfactory responses, and only 324 were used for statistical processing. The collected data were processed by using the SPSS software. The result of the study shows that there are six factors affecting the successful implementation of ERP of firms in Vietnam, (ranked in descending order of importance), they are top management commitment and support, business process re-engineering, user involvement, project management board, vendor support, and suitability of software and hardware.

  • ANOVA 분석을 통해 건조온도와 건조시간이 열풍건조와 냉풍건조의 중요변수임을 알 수 있었으며 복분자의 반건조를 위해서는 열풍건조의 경우 $65.8^{\circ}C$, 4.3시간이 적당하였고 냉풍건조의 경우 비슷한 정도의 건조수분함량까지 28.2시간이 걸렸다. 그러나 건조온도가 높아지면 vitamin C와 ellagic acid의 함량이 줄어드는 등 품질적 열화가 심하게 나타났다. 또한 생리활성물질들은 냉풍건조에서 전반적으로 더 잘 보존 되었으며 총폴리페놀의 함량에서는 더욱 그러하였다. 따라서 냉풍건조방법은 고품질의 반건조 복분자 제조에 적합한 건조방법이며 최적 건조조건은 $21.3^{\circ}C$, 28.2시간으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구에서는 2017년 20건의 화재가 발생한 냉동창고 화재사례중 발화원인의 판정에 다수의 의견이 존재하였던 사례에 대해 연구하였다. 연구 방법론은 NFPA 921 CODE에서 규정하고 있는 과학적 화재조사 방법이다. 과학적 화재조사 방법은 가설설정을 통한 논리적 추론에 의한 화재조사 방법으로 발화원인 판단에 오류를 최소화 시킨다. 반면에 비과학적 화재조사 방법은 발화원인의 판단에 주관적 추측, 추론적 판단 등의 비합리적 요소의 개입으로 많은 오류를 발생시킨다. 이는 결국 인적, 물적 책임의 문제 및 학문적 퇴보를 가져온다. 특히 목격된 화재(Sighted fire)에 비해 목격되지 않는 화재(Fire not seen)의 경우 원인조사에 있어서 더 많은 발화원인 의 오류를 만든다. 본 연구에서는 2017년 **시 **마트에서 발생한 냉동창고 정온전선의 화재사례에 대해 화재조사 보고서의 검토, 현장조사를 바탕으로한 가설A 와 가설B의 설정하였다. 설정된 가설은 NFPA 921 code 규정하고 있는 연역적 검정 방법중 실험으로 검정하였다. 이러한 분석방법은 향후 목격되지 않는 화재(Fire not seen) 및 원인 불명 화재의 발화원인 판단에 NEW Paradigm의 구축 할 것이다. 또한 본 연구의 실험 자료는 냉동창고 제조사 및 운영사에 통보, 화재 예방을 위한 기초 자료로 활용 될 것이다.

  • The weapon system applies the rule that the system engineering procedure must be applied at the acquisition stage. Naval ships, which are one of the important naval weapon systems, take a long period of time to acquire, and the leadership must be commissioned. Therefore, in order to acquire a naval ship, high risk management is necessary, and it is necessary to promote business success through effective application of system engineering which is a scientific management method. However, in the case of naval ships, there are no specific procedures and methods for applying the system engineering. Therefore, research on application method of system engineering which can be easily used by person in charge is necessary. This should have a simple approach to ensure effective business performance by systematically refining and simplifying existing works. QFD (Quality Function Deployment) is a way to improve product satisfaction, impress customers, reduce defective products, reduce design errors, and reduce costs. This systematically develops these mutual relationships by converting the needs of customers into quality characteristics of products and defining them as the design quality of products considering the functions, quality, and process elements of parts. The purpose of this research is to present concrete methodology at the practical level using QFD in a way to ensure traceability of requirements which is an important element of system engineering.

  • A visual analysis approach and the developed supporting technology provide a comprehensive solution for analyzing large and complex integrated genomic and biomedical data. This paper presents a methodology that is implemented as an interactive visual analysis technology for extracting knowledge from complex genetic and clinical data and then visualizing it in a meaningful and interpretable way. By synergizing the domain knowledge into development and analysis processes, we have developed a comprehensive tool that supports a seamless patient-to-patient analysis, from an overview of the patient population in the similarity space to the detailed views of genes. The system consists of multiple components enabling the complete analysis process, including data mining, interactive visualization, analytical views, and gene comparison. We demonstrate our approach with medical scientists on a case study of childhood cancer patients on how they use the tool to confirm existing hypotheses and to discover new scientific insights.
