Various stakeholders within and outside of the organization are involved and participate in the outsourced IS development. As their interests and goals are different conflict arises in the process of their interaction, and it is an important factor affecting outsourcing success. The study focuses on the conflict between client users and vendor, i.e. main conflict in the outsourcing project, and examines the relationship of conflict with project success, the antecedents of conflict, and investigates the effectiveness of conflict resolution facilitation. An integrated conceptual model is developed grounded on is outsourcing, IS development, project management, and organizational behavior literature. Nine specific hypotheses on the conflict in outsourcing projects are proposed, and data collection and analysis are performed with 214 ISD outsourcing projects. Results indicated that the conflict between client users and vendor in outsourcing projects was found to have negative effects on project success. Main causes affecting conflict were examined, and relative influences of these causes were clarified. Recently internal IT personnel have been faced their role change with the increase of outsourcing, and the importance of their conflict resolution facilitation was highlighted.

This study explored the conceptual framework of dieticians' intentions to recommend functional food and the mediating role of consumption frequency. A web-based survey was designed using a self-administered questionnaire. A sample of Korean dieticians (N=233) responded to the questionnaire that included response efficacy, risk perception, consumption frequency, and recommendation intention for functional foods. A structural equation model was constructed to analyze the data. We found that response efficacy was positively related to frequency of consumption of functional foods and to recommendation intention. Consumption frequency also positively influenced recommendation intention. Risk perception had no direct influence on recommendation intention; however, the relationship was mediated completely by consumption frequency. Dieticians' consumption frequency and response efficacy were the crucial factors in recommending functional foods. Dieticians may perceive risks arising from the use of functional foods in general, but the perceived risks do not affect ratings describing dieticians' intentions to recommend them. The results also indicated that when dieticians more frequently consume functional foods, the expression of an intention to recommend functional foods may be controlled by the salience of past behaviors rather than by attitudes.

The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a conceptual model of purchase intentions, positive emotion, and e-servicescape that is defined as the online environment factors that exist during service delivery. Survey research method was used to gather data regarding consumers' perceptions of e-servicescape. Surveys were administered to 681 college students who experienced purchasing fashion products on the Internet. The results showed that e-servicescapes perceived by fashion consumers were composed of three dimensions: (1) Aesthetic appeal, (2) Ambient conditions, and (3) Layout & functionality. These dimensions of e-servicescape influenced consumers to lead positive emotions and purchase intentions. Additionally, positive emotions constituted a key variable for the purchase intention of fashion products during online exchange. The study revealed that consumers' interpretations of online environments exerted a powerful influence over positive emotion and purchase intentions. Also, it strongly endorsed the view that the purchase intentions of customers were linked to the extent to which they feel positive emotions by the e-service provider. This study provides insights into how consumers' interpretations of e-servicescape affect their subsequent positive emotions and ultimately their intentions to purchase. The findings of this study also have numerous implications for both services managers and internet developers related to fashion products.

As the Internet continues to evolve, cyber attacks are becoming more precise and covert. Anonymous communication, which is used to protect personal privacy, is also being used for cyber attacks. Not only it hides the attacker's IP address but also encrypts traffic, which allows users to bypass the information protection system that most organizations and institutions are using to defend cyber attacks. For this reason, anonymous communication can be used as a means of attacking malicious code or for downloading additional malware. Therefore, this study aims to suggest a method to detect and block encrypted anonymous communication as quickly as possible through artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it will be applied to the defense to detect malicious communication and contribute to preventing the leakage of important data and cyber attacks.

This paper presents a typical solar domestic hot water system and estimates their performances with variance of collector size, storage volume, collector tilt and other factors. The analysis is performed by th computer simulation for which conceptual system against 8760 hourly solar intensities and ambient temperature for a model year stored in the computer has been running. System performance is analyzed on hourly, monthly and yearly basis respectively and at the same time, the economics of various systems are evaluated. And also, this paper shows how an optimized design can be selected for any locality for which solar data and collector performance are provided. The results of this study are as follows. (1)Storage volume of 45 liter per square meter of solar collector lead to the best design. (2)Tilting the collectors to the same angle of the latitude is generally the best (3)Optimal size of collector is approximately 6.68-8.35m$^{2}$ when the latitude is 37.6 .deg. N and storage volume is 300 liter. (4)The performances of a solar domestic hot water system does not depend on the hourly usage but the daily usage.

오늘날의 제품개발환경은 분산환경에 존재하는 다양한 역량을 가진 참여자들의 협업을 요구하고 있으며, 협업은 참여자들이 필요로 하는 제품개발관련 정보들의 실시간 교환을 지원할 수 있도록 제품정보 간 상호운용성 확보를 기반으로 한다. STEP으로 알려진 ISO 10303은 제품개발의 전체적인 라이프사이클에서 필요한 제품정보의 표현과 공유 및 교환을 위한 대표적인 표준이다. 하지만 STEP을 이용하기 위해서는 각 도메인이 표준인 STEP 모델에 기반하여 제품정보를 모델링 하여야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 도메인은 자신의 목적에 따라 특화된 모델을 정의하고 사용하기 때문에 도메인에 특화된 형태의 제품정보모델을 STEP 모델로 변환할 수 있는 추가적인 메커니즘이 필요하다. 즉, STEP은 참조모델보다는 모든 도메인에서 제품정보모델링을 위해 사용가능한 표준의 정의에 초점을 맞춘다. 그러므로 참조모델로서의 STEP을 기반으로 다양한 도메인 특화된 제품정보모델 간 상호운용성 확보를 지원하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 STEP 제품정보모델의 시맨틱스를 체계적으로 정의할 수 있도록 온톨로지 구축을 통한 컨셉추얼 모델링을 수행한다. 컨셉추얼 모델링은 STEP 모델에 정확하고 완전한 의미를 부여하여, 다양한 도메인 특화된 모델 사이의 상호운용성 확보를 지원하고 참조모델로서 STEP의 능력을 확장한다.

The purpose of this study was to measure the causal relationships among such variables as moral concerns for animals, meat texture, meat color, satiety from meat, disgust with meat and pork consumption. A total of 250 questionnaires were completed. Structural equation models were used to measure the causal effects of the constructs. The study outcomes demonstrated that the structural analysis results of the data were an excellent model fit. The effects of moral concerns for animals, meat texture and satiety from meat on the disgust with meat were statistically significant. As expected, disgust with meat had a significant effect on pork consumption. Moreover, moral concerns for animals and satiety from meat had a significant indirect effect on pork consumption through disgust with meat. Also, satiety from meat alone had a significant indirect effect on pork consumption through disgust with meat. By developing and testing conceptual models that integrated the relationships among ideational variables, sensory affective variables, anticipated consequences variables, emotional variables, and behavioral variables, this study may approach a deeper understanding of the complex relationships among pork consumption-related variables. A greater understanding of these complex relationships can improve the managerial diagnosis of problems as well as opportunities for different marketing strategies, including pork production and pork product development, and marketing communications.

Purpose: The present study was designed to understand the conceptual definition and attributes of the clinical critical thinking ability(CCTA) in nursing and to grasp the characteristics of clinical critical thinking abilities. Methods: The data were analyzed using the Hybrid model of Schwartz-Barcott and Kim(2000). Results: Having the skills and dispositions to think critically, CCTA refers to something that implies the cognizant ability to interpret contextual meanings, analyze the relationships between materials or circumstances, draw out the best conclusions, predict things using relevant information and evaluate the reliability of information and the strength of inference on the one hand and the emphatic disposition to be curious, open-minded, intellectually integral, systematic and creative and to reflect on things in contextual terms on the other. Conclusion: CCTA is characterized by clinical circumstances, such as guessing the reasons for facts, predicting things, connecting theory to practice and approaching individual situation in total terms as well as by the Korean circumstances, such as taking another person's perspective. Hence, this study proposes developing the tools to measure the clinical critical thinking ability and the strategies to improve the clinical critical thinking ability and seeking to verify their validity, on the basis of the findings.
