The data repositories for structural experiment information needs to be efficient to use in order to allow structural engineers and researchers to store and retrieve easily the information involved in the structural experiments. The data repositories can be evaluated in terms of the organization of the data repositories themselves and of the organization of the actual experiment information in the data repositories, which can be represented using classes and objects with their attributes. This paper proposes the evaluation criteria of attributes of the classes and objects. The evaluation criteria of the attributes of the classes, such as the number of attributes in class and the numbers of the data-valued and object entity-valued attributes, are used for understanding the complexity of the organization of the data repositories. The evaluation criteria of the attributes of the objects, such as the number of valued attributes in object, are used for describing how the actual experiment information is stored through the levels in the data repositories for the structural experiment information.

The paper examines critical factors affecting consumer behavioral intentions in accepting online health communication through social networking sites. Unlike recent research under this topic, the paper assimilates some components of service quality dimensions and consumer behavior theories. The paper employs factor analysis and structural equation modelling analysis with latent variables to identify critical factors from the survey data collected from Korean consumers. The results of the study identifies three major constructs: consumer needs for health information, the perceived value of tangible attributes of health information providers, and the perceived value of intangible attributes of health information providers. The results show that consumer needs for health information and the tangible and intangible attributes of health information providers should be considered as important antecedents of accepting online health communication through social networking sites. The findings suggest that the success of online health communication via social networking sites largely depends on the tangible and intangible attributes of health information providers.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship among selection attributes, consumption value brand attitude, fun, brand loyalty and quality of life. The subjects of the empirical study were selected by the Korea Fashion Industry Research Institute using the convention sampling method and the quota sampling method for 241 consumers who have purchased brands classified as "athleisure" within the past year For each variable constructed to verify reliability and validity of the measurement model, reliability tests using Cronbach' alpha were performed using IBM SPSS Win Ver. 23.0. To verify the unidimensionality of the measurements, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS 22.0 and a structural equation model to determine the structural relationship between variables. As a result of the study, First, both intrinsic and extrinsic attributes, which are sub-factors of selection attributes, have been shown to have a significant effect on consumption value. Second, consumption value has been shown to have a significant impact on brand attitude and fun. Third, brand attitudes have been shown to have a significant impact on brand loyalty. Finally, fun has been shown to have a significant impact on quality of life.

Purpose: This study focuses on developing a structural equation model of variables influencing loyalty to buying and selling food products through e-marketplaces in Thailand. The variables investigated comprised food attributes, online system attributes, marketing innovations, attitudes, and satisfaction. Research design, data and methodology: An online questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample group (200 buyers and 200 sellers) using quota sampling. The data were analyzed using the structural equation model. Results: The developed structural equation model was consistent with the empirical data. Factors in the model could explain 40.1% of the variance in loyalty to buying and selling food products through e-marketplaces. Food attributes and online system attributes influenced satisfaction directly. Online system attributes, market innovation, and attitudes directly influenced loyalty. The developed model had no variation between groups of buyers and sellers. Conclusions: This research demonstrated the causal factors leading to consumer loyalty to buying and selling food products through e-marketplaces. The research findings help e-marketplace providers manage factors of buying and selling to comply with the needs of buyers and sellers, which will increase the number of buyers and sellers, help generate long-term profits for service providers, and increase the country's financial value.
