Purpose: The main theme of this study is to determine the optimal control limit of conditional variance investigation by mathematical approach. According to the determination approach of control limit presented in this study, it is possible with only one parameter to calculate the control limit necessary for budgeting control system or standard costing system, in which the limit could not be set in advance, that's why it has the advantage of high practical application. Methods: This study followed the analytical methodology in terms of the decision model of information economics, Bayesian probability theory and Taguchi's quality loss function concept. Results: The function suggested by this study is as follows; ${\delta}{\leq}\frac{3}{2}(k+1)+\frac{2}{\frac{3}{2}(k+1)+\sqrt{\{\frac{3}{2}(k+1)\}^2}+4$ Conclusion: The results of this study will be able to contribute not only in practice of variance investigation requiring in the standard costing and budgeting system, but also in all fields dealing with variance investigation differences, for example, intangible services quality control that are difficult to specify tolerances (control limit) unlike tangible product, and internal information system audits where materiality standards cannot be specified unlike external accounting audits.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) suffers from high computational complexity due to its quad-tree structure in motion estimation (ME). This paper exposes an adaptive search range decision algorithm for accelerating HEVC integer-pel ME on GPU which estimates the optimal search range (SR) using a MAP (Maximum A Posteriori) estimator. There are three main contributions; First, we define the motion feature as the standard deviation of motion vector difference values in a CTU. Second, a MAP estimator is proposed, which theoretically estimates the motion feature of the current CTU using the motion feature of a temporally adjacent CTU and its SR without any data dependency. Thus, the SR for the current CTU is parallelly determined. Finally, the values of the prior distribution and the likelihood for each discretized motion feature are computed in advance and stored at a look-up table to further save the computational complexity. Experimental results show in conventional HEVC test sequences that the proposed algorithm can achieves high average time reductions without any subjective quality loss as well as with little BD-bitrate increase.

WTO 출범과 미국 및 EU와의 FTA로 의해 국제적으로 농산물 교역은 자유화되었으며 외국의 저렴한 농산물이 국내시장에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 환경 하에서 우리나라 농업은 영세한 구조로 인해 농가소득의 장기적이고 안정적인 수익창출에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구는 무역자유화 및 FTA로 인한 시장개방에 따른 급속한 농산물 교역시장의 경쟁구도 하에서 우리나라 수출농업 활성화를 위해 토마토를 대상으로 최적의 토마토 수출 생산자를 결정하기 위한 새로운 다기준 의사결정 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 2단계 의사결정 모델을 개발하는데, 먼저 전국의 토마토 생산자가 너무 광범위하므로 예비 토마토 수출 생산자 선정을 위한 1차 계층 모델을 수립하고, 최적의 토마토 수출 생산자 선정을 위한 2차 상세 계층화 모델을 수립하였다. 본 연구에서는 다기준 의사결정의 대표적인 기법인 AHP 기법을 적용하여 평가요인간의 중요도를 결정하고 이를 토대로 하여 최적의 토마토 수출 생산자를 선정하였다. 궁극적으로 본 연구방법 및 결과는 토마토뿐만 아니라 국내 농산물의 해외수출시 수출업자가 적합한 농산물 생산자를 선정하는데 체계적이고 효율적인 의사결정 방법론으로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 이는 수출경쟁력 향상에도 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The proper functioning of critical points on transport infrastructure is decisive for the entire network. Tunnels and bridges certainly belong to the critical points of the surface transport network, both road and rail. Risk management should be a holistic and dynamic process throughout the entire life cycle. However, the level of risk is usually determined only during the design stage mainly due to the fact that it is a time-consuming and costly process. This paper presents a simplified quantitative risk analysis method that can be used any time during the decades of a tunnel's lifetime and can estimate the changing risks on a continuous basis and thus uncover hidden safety threats. The presented method is a decision support system for tunnel managers designed to preserve or even increase tunnel safety. The CAPITA method is a deterministic scenario-oriented risk analysis approach for assessment of mortality risks in road tunnels in case of the most dangerous situation - a fire. It is implemented through an advanced risk analysis CAPITA SW. Both, the method as well as the resulting software were developed by the authors' team. Unlike existing analyzes requiring specialized microsimulation tools for traffic flow, smoke propagation and evacuation modeling, the CAPITA contains comprehensive database with the results of thousands of simulations performed in advance for various combinations of variables. This approach significantly simplifies the overall complexity and thus enhances the usability of the resulting risk analysis. Additionally, it provides the decision makers with holistic view by providing not only on the expected risk but also on the risk's sensitivity to different variables. This allows the tunnel manager or another decision maker to estimate the primary change of risk whenever traffic conditions in the tunnel change and to see the dependencies to particular input variables.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the heuristic type of consumers affecting purchase decision making and the intention of shopping value in their relationship to derive mobile social commerce purchase promotion plans. Research design, data, and methodology - A research model was constructed to relate the mediating effect of shopping value between heuristic types and purchase intentions. A total of 233 valid questionnaires were used for analysis for users using mobile social commerce. The statistical program used SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0, and correlation analysis, regression analysis, and 3-step parametric regression analysis were used for the analysis. Results - The results of the analysis showed that representativeness heuristics, availability heuristics, adjustment heuristics, and affect heuristics had a statistically significant effect on the utilitarian value and the hedonic value. On the other hand, affect heuristics among the heuristic types were found to have the greatest influence not only on the utilitarian value but also on the hedonic value. The two types of shopping value were found to be partially mediated between representativeness heuristics and purchase intentions, between adjustment heuristics and purchase intentions, and fully mediated between availability heuristics and purchase intentions, affect heuristics and purchase intentions. Conclusions - These findings suggest that mobile social commerce companies should check in advance how consumer heuristic types affect purchase intentions. In particular, affect heuristics are caused by consumers' emotional mood such as mood or external stimulus being more important to decision making than rational decision making. Therefore, the result of this study suggests that it can be an important factor to secure the competitiveness that the potential customers who access to use mobile social commerce can feel enough fun and enjoyment in the platform provided by the company. It is also worth paying attention to the utilitarian and hedonic values perceived by consumers. This is because the judgment regarding the economic, convenience and important information provided by the mobile social commerce users affects the purchase intention through the trust of the information, past use, and shopping experience displayed on the mobile social commerce platform.

H.264/AVC의 확장 표준으로 제정된 SVC는 향상 계층에서 압축 효율을 높이기 위해 인트라 예측과 인터 예측뿐만 아니라 계층 간 예측을 추가로 수행한다. 그로 인해 부호화 계산량이 더욱 증가되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 SVC 공간적 향상 계층에서 계산량을 효과적으로 감소시키는 빠른 인트라 부호화를 위한 효율적인 모드 결정 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 크게 2단계로 이루어진다. 1단계에서는 Intra_BL 모드의 RD 값을 이웃 매크로블록의 최적 RD 값과 비교하고 이웃 매크로블록의 최적 예측 모드와 유사한 특성을 이용하여 Intra_BL 모드를 미리 결정한다. 2단계에서는 기본 계층과 향상 계층의 인트라 예측 모드의 상관성을 이용하여 인트라 예측의 후보 모드를 선택적으로 줄임으로써 전체 부호화 시간을 감소시킨다. 실험결과, 제안하는 방법은 JSVM 9.16보다 전체 부호화 시간을 48.15~56.32% 감소하면서 화질의 변화는 거의 없었다.

Purpose: The Act on Hospice and Palliative Care and Decisions on Life-Sustaining Treatment for Patients at the End of Life came into force in February 2018 in Korea. This study reviews the practices of end-of-life care for patients who withdrew or withheld life-sustaining treatment at a tertiary care hospital, addresses the limitations of the law, and discusses necessary steps to promote patient-centered self-determination. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who died after agreeing to withhold life-sustaining treatment in 2018 at our university hospital. The cause of death, the intensity of end-of-life care, and other characteristics were reviewed and statistically analyzed. Results: Of a total of 334 patients, 231 (69%) died from cancer. The decision to stop life-sustaining treatment was made by family members for 178 patients overall (53.3%) and for 101 (43.7%) cancer patients, regardless of the patient's wishes. When the patient decided to stop life-sustaining treatment, the time from the authorization to withhold life-sustaining treatment to death was longer than when the decision was made by family members (28.7±41.3 vs 10.5±23.2 days, P<0.001). Conclusion: In many cases, the decision to discontinue life-sustaining treatment was made by the family, not by the patient. In order to protect human dignity based on the patients' self-determination, it is necessary for patients to understand their disease based on careful explanations from physicians. Ongoing survey-based research will be necessary in the future.
