In a few years, a variety of mobile devices are expected to be utilized as a necessity for business as well as personal communications. Thus it is needed to conduct a comprehensive study on the acceptance of mobile devices in the mature market like Korea. This paper develops an extended technology acceptance model by including functional attributes of cellular phone and examines the determinant factors causing accepting cellular phones. Our empirical analysis through the internet survey shows that 1) among the determinant factors, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment or fun, and social pressure have positive direct impacts on the intention of accepting cellular phone, and 2) functional attributes of cellular phone affect the determinant factors differently.

People can differently act online than in real-life. Their virtual identities may allow them to express themselves more freely. In this perspective, there is a self-discrepancy between virtual- and real-life. Due to the anonymity, people can feel free to express who actually they are online without considering social pressure. Especially, for those people who live in a repressed society, virtual-selves can play a significant role to achieve their well-being. For this reason, a self-discrepancy between actual- and virtual-self related to well-being was studied. With 183 survey responses, political freedom, extraversion and neuroticism are identified as significant influencers of subjective well-being (SWB). In addition, an increase in self-discrepancy between virtual- and real-life for 'unhappy' people leads to an increased online well-being, which is contradictory to Higgins' self-discrepancy theory.

Goldingham's measurement of the velocity of sound undertaken in the early nineteenth century was the first large-scale measuring enterprise which considered various meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, the direction of the wind, etc. Goldingham's successful performance of measuring the velocity of sound by employing the sounds of cannons as sound source in Madras (now Chennai), a colonial region of India, for one and a half years was supported by material, institutional and social resources. As the official astronomer at the Madras Observatory, he was benefitted by the undemanding employment of accurate measuring instruments under the support of the Madras Army enabled him to gain reliable data and his reputation as professional experimentalist facilitated the acknowledgment of their trustworthiness.

The authors address the problem of ameliorating or updating existing educational buildings. This building typology is quite sensitive to social and media pressure, mainly when accidents have occurred nearby. When a building is classified as unsatisfactory, the current code requirements oblige one to re-design the building with significant penalty factors in the resistance values. Often the only solution is to destroy the existing facility and to build a new one. When attempting to preserve the existing building, higher levels of safety are demanded by the society and this can only be achieved by innovative system architectures. The authors propose and discuss a prototype that can be easily adopted to retrofit small educational buildings as the ones common in small municipalities. The higher performance is pursued by a special design of the control scheme, with new control devices and special control laws.

In a turn a century, the skepticism, mysticism and eroticism used to prevail, the people becoming anxious, expectative and doubtful about an oncoming age. The costumes tend to become more exciting and erotic in the fashion. This thesis is on understanding “What would 21 century's clothes be\ulcorner” after analyzing the specific points in an end of the century. The characteristics found from 16th century to 20th century are going to the extremes in the shapes, consistent appearance of bustle style costumes and excessive ornaments which are closely interrelated with one another. I expect the fashion in 21st century would be changed in two ways. Firstly, going to the extremes and stressing on the buttock would be going down in the end of 1999. Secondly, the comfortable clothes highest in function and technology, and also friendly to the environment, might be the main stream, rather then outwardly good looking clothes, because spirit and environment is much more emphasized than the mode by the social impact or pressure in the next era.

본 연구는 기부문화에 대한 일반 대중들의 인식의 변화를 위해 누구나 손쉽게 다가갈 수 있는 게임을 제안하며, 이를 모바일 앱으로 구현하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 앱은 NGO 단체들의 대표적인 온라인 활동 중의 하나가 될 수 있으며, 노래 게임를 이용하기 때문에 기부에 대한 부담보다는 재미를 느낄 수 있는 게임 앱이다. 본 연구를 통해 다양한 게임 형태의 기부 앱이 많이 활성화되며, NGO단체나 기업, 그리고 SNS를 통해 대중적인 기부문화 정착에 이바지 할 것으로 기대된다.

Until now, product mostly has revealed physical quantities created by the standpoint of engineers. Consumers, however, perceive and evaluate products on the non-physical characteristics, such as feelings, emotions, and experiences in different social and cultural situations. Especially, for the household appliances such as a refrigerator, the sound is heavily related to the satisfaction of a customer who is a real user of the product and is very important factor to decide purchasing as well as visual design. Therefore, in this research, not only the simple sound pressure level but also the consumer's sense of hearing evaluate the noise from the refrigerator. And also, in order to improve the quality of sound through the design change, the consumer's evaluation is analyzed and related to the engineering quantities.

School closures during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have been outlined in studies from different disciplines, including economics, sociology, mathematical modeling, epidemiology, and public health. In this review, we discuss the implications of school closures in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Modeling studies of the effects of school closures, largely derived from the pandemic influenza model, on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 produced conflicting results. Earlier studies assessed the risk of school reopening by modeling transmission across schools and communities; however, it remains unclear whether the risk is due to increased transmission in adults or children. The empirical findings of the impact of school closures on COVID-19 outbreaks suggest no clear effect, likely because of heterogeneity in community infection pressure, differences in school closure strategies, or the use of multiple interventions. The benefits of school closings are unclear and not readily quantifiable; however, they must be weighed against the potential high social costs, which can also negatively affect the health of this generation.

본 연구는 사회서비스 시장화에 따른 비영리 사회복지조직의 경쟁 우월성을 확보하기 위한 방안으로 시장지향성이 조직성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 경험적으로 검증하기 위한 것이다. 사회서비스 시장화는 사회복지조직의 재정 환경 압박과 더불어 조직 간의 경쟁을 심화시키고 있다. 다양한 공급주체들이 참여하는 사회서비스 시장에서 비영리 사회복지조직이 생존을 유지하기 위해서는 환경에 대한 민감성이 필요하다. 이를 위해 시장지향성 도입의 필요성이 제기되고 있으며 이 시점에서 비영리 사회복지조직의 시장지향성 수준과 시장지향성이 조직성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하는 것은 의미가 있다고 보여진다. 자료 수집은 바우처 사업에 참여하고 있는 부산의 사회복지조직을 대상으로 이루어졌으며, 총 92개 기관이 분석대상이 되었다. 조사대상 기관의 시장지향성은 3.63으로 나타났으며 선행연구들에 비해 다소 높은 시장지향성을 보였다. 시장지향성이 조직성과에 미치는 영향은 유의미하게 나타났다. 사회서비스 시장에서 바우처 사업을 수행하고 있는 비영리 사회복지조직의 시장지향성이 높을수록 바우처 사업에 대한 연간 수익금 총액이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 비영리 사회복지조직의 시장지향성 도입 유용성을 경험적으로 검증하였다. 또한 비영리 사회복지조직이 조직의 생존과 유지를 위해 외부 환경에 더욱 민감하게 반응하는 것이 필요하다는 함의를 제공해 주고 있다.

본 연구는 한국사회에서 큰 사회적 압력으로 작용하고 있는 바쁨에 대해 사람들이 어떻게 인식하고 경험하고 있는지와 바쁨과 느림의 삶의 속도를 추동하는 사회 심리적 동기들을 살펴보았다. 나아가 바쁨과 느림의 개인의 삶의 속도에 따른 현실에서의 적응요소에 대해 심층적으로 탐구하였다. 본 연구의 분석은 20·30대 미혼남녀 21명의 심층면접 자료를 이용한 현상학적 연구 방법으로 이루어졌다. 그 결과 바쁨에 대한 인식 및 경험들은 긍정적인 부분과 부정적인 부분이 공존하고 있으며 바쁨과 느림의 삶의 속도에 영향을 미치는 사회 심리적 동기의 구성 요소들은 '(바쁨/쉼)의 긍정적 가치 내면화', '(미래/현재) 중심적', '바쁨의 일상화/선택과 집중', '성격특성'이 도출되었다. 또한 바쁘게 사는 사람과 느리게 사는 사람들의 공통적인 현실 적응요소는 '자기 선택적', '성공적인 시간관리', '심리적 건강 유지'가 차별적 요소는 '성취감'과 '자기특성 이해 및 수용'이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 한국사회에서 바쁨에 부여된 가치와 의미를 사회심리학적 관점에서 논의하였으며 삶의 속도와 관련된 기존 연구 및 논의들에 새로운 관점을 제시해 주었다. 또한 여러 팔로업(follow up) 가능한 연구들을 제안하였다.
