Service-Oriented Architecture is a style of information systems that enables the creation of applications that are built by combining loosely coupled and interoperable services. A service is an implementation of business functionality with proper granularity and invoked with well-defined interface. In service modeling, when the granularity of a service is finer, the reusability and flexibility of the service is lower. For solving this problem concerns with the service granularity, it is critical to identify and define coarse-grained services from the domain analysis model. In this paper, we define the process to identify services from the Use Case model elicited from domain analysis. A task tree is derived from Use Cases and their descriptions, and Use Cases are reconstructed by the composition and decomposition of the task tree. Reconstructed Use Cases are defined and specified as services. Because our method is based on the widely used UML Use Case models, it can be helpful to minimize time and cost for developing services in various platforms and domains.

The purpose of this study is to investigate responses or phenomena shown by the students in the process of manipulative activities in order to use manipulatives effectively in the elementary school geometry classes. The fualitative study used for this research analyzed phenomena in the process of learning programs offered to students. The five participants of this research were selected from the third graders at C Elementary School in Seoul city. The researcher recorded all the activities of students, watching them thoroughly and extracting significant statements from each description. These statements were formulated by their meanings, and then those meanings were analyzed into classified themes. The results through this research are as follows: First, previous activities affected later activities positively in the conjoining case, but negatively in the disjoining case and hence it required adventurous thinking. Second, students tried various attempts for solving given problems.

Accurate description of starting transient history allows and justifies the use of small margin of safety for the engine parts, resulting in high motor mass ratio in addition to satisfying the control and guidance requirements of the vehicle. Studies have been carried out for the prediction and reduction of ignition peak and pressure-rise rate during the starting transient of solid rocket motors. Numerical studies have been carried out using a two dimensional Navier-Stokes solver. It has been inferred through the parametric studies that, in the case of solid rocket motors with uniform port, high ignition peak is observed at high spread rate and low pressure-rise rate. In the case of the port with sudden expansion configuration, high ignition peak is observed at relatively high average spread rate and high-pressure rise rate. These studies are expected to aid the designer in reducing the ignition peak by altering the propellant properties or igniter characteristics without sacrificing the motor performance.

Purpose - The study's aim is to assess performance quality delivered through a performance management system. The case study first measures the effectiveness of the present performance management system of Bhushan Steel Ltd. (BSL), and then secondarily analyzes the employee training impact. Research design, data, and methodology - A case study research approach using a survey was followed. The final sample size was 50, with a simple random sampling technique used. Primary data came from the company itself and the secondary from books, the Internet, journals, etc. Results - BSL employee appraisals are used for many developmental aspects such as competence in the present job, improvements, performance development, and training needs. The results indicate that individual performance can improve if employees perceive the system as more transparent (i.e., not so confidential). Conclusions - Overall, the BSL employees think that the company appraisal system is useful; however, to make it better the company has to improve many aspects including appraisals based on supervisor observations. The company could use a self-appraisal and a 360-appraisal approach to improve such assessments.

As electric and electronic control systems have sharply increased in vehicles, safety accident has emerged as an important issue. Therefore, in order to ensure safety of the vehicle, engineers are required to identify the hazards utilizing PHA and HAZOP, etc. in the early phase of development and implement safety mechanisms to prevent them. HAZOP has been widely used in a systematic manner based on guidewords. However, HAZOP identifies malfunctions from the top-level functionality provided by the system, so it cannot sufficiently identify hazards during the system operation. This leads to restrictions in designing testcases, because the safety requirements are derived from only some of the hazards. This research aimed to provide a hazard identification method utilizing Use case description, which defines operation procedure of the system and HAZOP and a testcase design method based on safety requirements. We introduced a case study on Smart Key Control System in vehicles and compared with hazards identification results based on HAZOP, to demonstrate the effectiveness of this study. The result of this study could potentially reduce development cost and increase system quality by adequately identifying hazards and safety requirements and designing the related testcase.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of intravenous lipid emulsion as well as adverse events in acute poisoning patients. Methods: Literature was accessed through PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of science, and KoreaMed. All forms of literatures relevant to human use of intravenous lipid emulsion for acute poisoning were included. Cases reports or letters without description of clinical outcomes for each case were excluded. The literature search was conducted by two investigators in March, 2015, with publication language restricted to English and Korean. The effect, onset time, and adverse event of lipid emulsion and final outcome of each case were analyzed. Results: Eighty-one published articles were included, excluding articles whose title and abstract were not relevant to this study. No articles were classified as high level of evidence. Sixty-eight case reports were identified, consisting of 25 local anesthetics and 43 other drugs, such as tricyclic antidepressants and calcium channel blockers. Although most cases described significant clinical improvements, some of them showed no beneficial effect or worsening of clinical course. Several adverse events including hyperamylasemia and laboratory interference were reported. Conclusion: Although there were many case reports illustrating successful use of lipid for various drug poisonings, the effect cannot be estimated due to significant possibility of publication bias. Therefore, lipids might be considered in severe hemodynamic instability resulting from lipophilic drug poisoning, however further studies should follow to establish the use of lipid as the standard of care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore roles of cancer care coordinator's by developing job description, job specification and job process map using dynamic job analysis. Method: The development process consisted of three stages of vertical job analysis and three stages of horizontal job analysis by modifying Song(1997)'s dynamic job analysis. Focus group interview was used to validate the content of the job analysis. Results: Cancer care coordinator's job description was categorized into six major categories, fourteen intermediate categories and one hundred forty specific jobs. Major categories are professional nursing practice, consultation and counsel, coordination and collaboration, education, research and leadership. Cancer care coordinator's job specification included master's degree with over five years of clinical experience preferably relevant clinical area, professional knowledge on pathophysiology of cancer, case management and cost control, competency for communication and counselling skills and clinical decision making. Cancer care coordinator's job process map was framed with time(horizontal) and activities(vertical). Conclusion: The Outcomes of this study will guide to develop possible areas of oncology advanced practice nurses in hospital setting and facilitate the use of oncology nurse practitioners by developing care coordinator roles in cancer care.
