Due to the variety of household electric devices and different power consumption habits of consumers at present, general home energy management (HEM) systems suffer from the lack of dynamic identification of various household appliances and a unidirectional information display. This study presented a set of intelligent interconnection network systems for electric appliances, which can measure the power consumption of household appliances through a current sensing device based on OSGi platform. The system establishes the characteristics and categories of related electric appliances, and searches the corresponding cluster data and eliminates noise for recognition functionality and error detection mechanism of electric appliances by applying the clustering algorithm. The system also integrates household appliance control network services so as to control them according to users' power consumption plans or through mobile devices, thus realizing a bidirectional monitoring service. When the system detects an abnormal operating state, it can automatically shut off electric appliances to avoid accidents. In practical tests, the system reached a recognition rate of 95%, and could successfully control general household appliances through the ZigBee network.

The study finds a constructive way to improve shared houses by analyzing shared house living conditions, satisfaction of the residents and potential consumer's needs. For this, a survey of 179 single-person university residents and interviews with seven young adults residing in shared house was conducted. The results showed that shared house tenants had high satisfaction in regard to bedrooms, common spaces, and rental costs. They successfully adapted to community life by frequently using the living, dining spaces, and common spaces with respect and consideration towards other tenants by following rules. Single-person university household should prefer single rooms and the biggest consideration when they move into a shared house is rent. Affordable rates were 300,000 to 350,000 Korean Won per month (40.5%) and deposit of 3 million won or less (64.3%). Results also showed a need for a professional manager residing in the house with a cleaning service for common spaces and a want to share hobbies with other tenants (3.25/5 point scale). It is very important in a housing welfare perspective that one experiences the value of living and emotional sharing to heighten the satisfaction through shared houses. It is essential to put effort into developing a service that reflects consumer's needs for shared houses to continue as a housing alternative model for young adults.

Objectives : To compare the degree of achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) among 39 developing countries in Africa and to investigate the correlation between health care financing and the UHC index. Methods : For data, 14 UHC indexes were used in 2015 supplied by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, this study used a 10% of threshold point corresponding to the catastrophic health expenditures and a 25% of threshold points as a health care financing index. Results : It was found that there were significant difference among Least Low Developed Countries (LLDCs), Other Low Income Countries (Other LICs), Lower Middle Income Countiies (LMICs), Upper Middle Income Countires (UMICs) to compare the average value by nation on the UHC index. This study showed that the UHC index of LLDCs was lowest, but the average value was higher as it moved towards LMICs and UMICs. In addition, it was found that there was an average value difference among the groups like LLDCs, Other LICs, LMICs and UMICs. As a result of comparison, it was found that the spending of household health expenditure increased as LLDCs moved towards UMICs when the burden of household health expenditure was 25%. Conclusions : This study aimed to compare the UHC indexes of African nations and to investigate the correlation between the degree of spending of total expenditure on health and burden of household health expenditure and UHC, and its effect.

Objectives : This study aims to analyze differences in the use of postpartum care services and identify the factors affecting their use. Methods : Data were collected from the 2008-2014 Korean Health Panel. Chi-square tests were conducted to analyze differences in the characteristics of women after birth by the use of postpartum care services. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting the use of each type of postpartum care service. Results : Participants with higher education and household income levels were more likely to use a postpartum care facility. Individuals with a lower number of household members, who gave birth in 2011-2013, and who used hospitals specializing in obstetrics and gynecology had a greater likelihood of using a postpartum care facility. The probability of using a postpartum caretaker was higher when participants did not perform any economic activities. Conclusions : It is meaningful to confirm that use patterns and determinants of postpartum care facilities and postpartum caretakers are completely different and that the socioeconomic status of women affects the utilization of postpartum care facilities.

As a single-person household emerges as an important consumer group, an Online-to-Offline or Offlineto-Online(O2O) service market is rapidly growing. This study attempted to verify the effects of convenience and webrooming characteristics of O2O service using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the convenience and webrooming of food O2O service on users' perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, and the effects of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on purchase intention of O2O services. Using a convenience sampling technique, an online survey was conducted through Google survey from April 16 to April 30, 2017 and was distributed to 447 O2O service users. A total of 320 questionnaires were included in the final analysis. The results showed that convenience had a significant effect on users' perceived ease of use as well as perceived usefulness. In addition, users' perceived ease of use had a significant impact on users' perceived usefulness. Finally, both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness positively affected users' purchase intention of O2O services. These findings suggest that differentiated events, promotions, and store information should be provided when launching O2O service because webrooming is a more important factor in enhancing perceived usefulness than the perceived ease of use.
