  • The Web is an important source of information for health care consumers, and the resources they find on the Web have a direct affect on their health outcomes. Despite the enormous benefits of online health care, the quality of health information on the Internet is an area of increasing concern. Therefore, there's a need to develop quality assessment tools that can filter out poor quality online health information. The purpose of this study is to explore the critical attributes for assessing website quality and for developing quality assessment measurements. We completed three focus group discussions with 24 participants that were administered by a moderator and based on specifically focused group questions. The results suggest that the most important quality criteria, as identified by the respondents, were related to issues of credibility and accuracy. To determine the credibility of Internet health information, the respondents stated one must consider the following: the information source, disclosure of the author's or organization's credentials/qualifications, disclosure of ownership and the updating of the content. For the accuracy of content, elements such as a statement of purpose, evidence-based information, relevance and completeness should be considered. Interactivity, accessibility, and design were additional quality criteria.

  • One of the representative local cultures in Gyeongnam is Gaya culture. This research aim s to develop fashion cultural goods design applying Gaya relics. Based on the study on cu ltural character, formative characteristics of relics, and questionnaire survey on cultural reco gnition and fashion cultural goods purchasing status of Gaya, the plan of Gaya fashion cul tural goods design was made and progressed. To develop design pattern, TexPro Design CAD was used. As to selection of relics to extract motif, Mounted vessel in the shape of warrior on horseback, Chariot wheel-shaped Pottery, Armor and Shield were selected. The main concept of design was 'Timeless Images of Gaya' to re-illuminate a long forgotten p eriod of Gaya, and to create modernization image of ancient period into modern living. By using oring image scale of IRI C or Lab, the 4 main themes of 'Timeless Images of Gaya' including 'Romantic Gaya', 'Dynamic Gaya', 'E -friendly Gaya', 'Modern Gaya' were constructed. According to the 4 themes, basic pattern, repeating pattern, application patter n were developed. And applied cases were developed to seek reality of design in the fashi on cultural goods. Also web page was constructed to develop educational and industrial accessibility and utilization in collaboration with design patterns and fashion cultural goods ap plying cases.

  • Objective: Taking action on health inequalities starts with the production of information laying out the problems of inequalities, but Korean society has no national database to view related data at a glance. This study aimed to compare Korean national database with the Public Health Profile (PHP), a health inequality database of the UK. Methods: Data were collected from the websites of government and relevant organizations in the both countries between March and August 2020, which was updated in August 2021. Two themes including Co-occurring substance misuse and mental health issues in mental health and INteractive Health Atlas of Lung conditions in England were selected for comparison in terms of data accessibility, data usability and data visualization. Results: The British PHP is being served on a web-based platform, Fingertips. The data collected at the regional level were presented on 31 health inequality themes. The data are displayed at a level that can be compared between comparable communities, and visualized into various tables and figures. Comparable Korean data were scattered in several themes and websites, and mostly provided as a 17 administrative region base, which was too vast to make a meaningful comparisons. Conclusion: The findings proposed several considerations which could be useful for establishing a database of health inequality in the Korean society.

  • The emergence of the digital economy and easy accessibility to Web 2.0 tools has seen an expansion of the influencer ecosystem within the travel and tourism industry. Founded on the principles of reference groups and peer reference there is a growing trend amongst industry practitioners who are now opting to move away from many of the traditional approaches used to market their products and services and are instead taking advantage of the concept of e-word-of-mouth (eWOM). Whilst there is a growing body of academic literature addressing the notion of influencer marketing, there is little understanding of influencer marketers themselves. Consequentially, this study addresses this gap in the literature through the quantitative examination of those who promote products, services, or companies by distributing eWOM through their online digital channels and presence; otherwise known as travel influencers. A quantitative research approach involving an online survey yielded 255 responses from travel influencers. The research findings indicate that those who work in this field prefer not to be awarded the label "travel influencer," focusing instead on their specific method of influencing, such as blogging and vlogging or sharing Instagram updates. The research also demonstrates how the new influencers have a strong role in generating travel urge and desire. The research contributes to the wider body of academic literature and travel industry practitioners by establishing the general profile of influencers and their increasingly specialized role in tourism and hospitality marketing.

  • Humanities and social sciences researchers and database experts have teamed up to build a database of IPR materials prepared by the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR). This paper presents the issues and solutions inherent in the database construction for ensuring the quality of IPR materials. For the accessibility of the database, we maintain the database on the Web so that researchers can access it via web browsers; for the convenience of the database construction, we provide an integrated interface that allows researchers to perform all tasks in it; for the completeness of IPR materials constructed, we support the responsible input and the responsible approval that identify responsibilities of each IPR material entered; and for the immediacy of the approval, we support an interactive approval process facilitating the input of researchers. We also use database design, query processing, transaction management, and search and sorting techniques to ensure the correctness of IPR materials entered. In particular, through concurrency control using existence dependency relationships between records, we ensure the correctness between the operating system files and their paths. Our future studies include content search, database download and upload, and copyright related work on IPR materials.

  • In this paper, we propose an object-oriented modeling technique using UML(Unified Modeling Language) for accessibility of user and efficiency of facilities under Web-based integrated manufacturing management system application. For this, we first collect user requirements and related technology of integrated manufacturing system, and then design proposed system considering business flow and various essential design part(class, component, package, use case, and etc) to reduce system risk as well as communicate peacefully between developers in system redevelopments. Additionally, we develop database of manufacturing master code, check management, repair management and error management for proposed systems. Finally, we design and implement our three main modules; manufacturing check module, manufacturing repair module, manufacturing error module under Web-based environments with JSP language.
