As information systems are implemented in business organizations, users and other stakeholders are known to resist changes incurred by information systems being implemented. For successful implementation, it is critical to manage changes overcoming resistance. Through literature review and expert panel, this study derives four underlying dimensions of resistance (anxiety, suspicion, imposition and self-centeredness) and five categories of change management activities (vision, leadership, communications, education and training, and organizational culture). A Survey was designed to measure the relationship between these dimensions and activities, and administered among information systems consultants. It is found that activities related to vision and leadership is underpinning other change management activities. Anxiety and imposition can be mitigated by education and training while suspicion is to be overcome by communications and self-centeredness by activities related to cultural changes. Implications are discussed and further researches are suggested.

This essay examines the relationship between death and the minor literature and the minor philosophy of education. Deleuze and Guattari conceive death as the source of question and the problem. Death overcomes Freud's death-drive and is conceived as the universal event. Then, death is understood as the essential problem, the condition of thought about life, and the paradox of actuality. On the other hand, their minor literature is able to figure in Kafka's works, Metamorphosis and so on, excellently. Deleuze and Guattari argue that Kafka's works push ahead to the edge of the deterritorization. Their argument on the minor literature has the following three characteristics: first, the territorization of the language; second, the directional connection between the individual and the social; third, the collective arrangement of the statement. Death and the minor literature share the "intensity" as the theoretical tool and thus presuppose each other. From this, we are able to draw the possibility of the minor philosophy of education. It makes a crack on the major philosophy of education, exposing the limitation of the doctrines. In other words, the major philosophy of education enforces the reading of grand philosophers by the defined ways only. Instead, Deleuze and Guattari show the creative way through their research of the history of philosophy and extend the field of thought. In following this way, we can repeat the novel in the philosophy of education also. In this essay, we examine their "affect" for the possibility.

The formation of Li-Si-O phases, $Li_4SiO_4$ and $Li_2SiO_3$ from the starting materials SiO and $Li_2O$ are analyzed using Vienna Ab-initio Simulation (VASP) package and the total energies of Li-Si-O compounds are evaluated using Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) method and correlated the structural characteristics of the binary system SiO-$Li_2O$ with experimental data from electrochemical method. Despite $Li_2SiO_3$ becomes stable phase by virtue of lowest formation energy calculated through VASP, the experimental method shows presence of $Li_4SiO_4$ as the only product formed when SiO and $Li_2O$ reacts during slow heating to reach $550^{\circ}C$ and found no evidence for the formation of $Li_2SiO_3$. Also, higher density of $Li_4SiO_4$(2.42 g $ml^{-1}$) compared to the compositional mixture $1SiO_2-2Li_2O$ (2.226 g $ml^{-1}$) and better cycle capacity observed through experiment proves that $Li_4SiO_4$ as the most stable anode supported by better cycleabilityfor lithium ion battery remains as paradox from the point of view of VASP calculations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore decision making experiences of Korean women with breast cancer who underwent breast reconstruction with/after a mastectomy. Methods: Data were collected during 2015-2016 through individual in-depth interviews with 10 women who had both mastectomy and breast reconstruction, and analyzed using phenomenological method to identify essential themes on experiences of making a decision to have breast reconstruction. Results: Five theme clusters emerged. First, "expected loss of sexuality and discovery of autonomy" illustrates various aims of breast reconstruction. Second, "holding tight to the reputation of doctors amid uncertainty" specifies the importance of a trust relationship with their physician despite a lack of information. Third, "family members to step back in position" describes support or opposition from family members in the decision making process. Fourth, "bewilderment due to the paradox of appearance-oriented views" illustrates paradoxical environment, resulting in confusion and anger. Lastly, "decision to be made quickly with limited time to oneself" describes the crazy whirling process of decision making. Conclusion: Findings highlight aims, worries, barriers, and facilitators that women with breast cancer experience when making a decision about breast reconstruction. Deciding on breast reconstruction was not only a burden for women in a state of shock with a diagnosis of breast cancer, but also an opportunity to decide to integrate their body, femininity, and self which might be wounded from a mastectomy. These findings will help oncology professionals provide effective educational counselling before the operation to promote higher satisfaction after the operation.

This is the precedent study on the modern fashion design using Korean emotions, and its aim is to study the expressions in the modern fashion based on 'Jeong-Jung-Dong' idea from Korean dancing, which implicates the Korean emotion deeply among the artworks and give essence similar to the clothing. 'Jeong-Jung-Dong', a unique idea, in the Korean traditional dancing is the philosophy that involve the paradox expression, 'Movement in Silence,' which represented the emotion of Korean dancing for a long time. The main characteristics deducted in 'Jeong-Jung-Dong' were 1) the incomplete and complete by atypical, 2) the beauty of temperance by symbolism, and 3) amusing mutual relationship. Upon the analysis results of previous studies on the expressions in the modern fashion with 'Jeong-Jung-Dong', they demonstrated the atypical expressed by metaphor, symbolic expression through margin, and mutual relational table by harmony. The analysis of modern fashion expression by 'Jeong-Jung-Dong', which is a philosophical idea in the Korean dancing, could highlight the new way of looking at the clothing and systemize the theory on the Korean emotion to seek the effective expression of artistic features for the culture together with introduction of our unique emotion in the creative design process by understanding of humanitarian and philosophical ideologies to be utilized in the future Fashion Design.

What is the national competitive power\ulcorner What are the determinants of national competitive advantage\ulcorner In order to find these problems, this study was initiated theoretically through the international trade theory and international managerial strategic theory. The flow of studies, in connection with these competitive advantage, come into industries competitive advantage from national competitive advantage. It is understood that the flow of studies is based on the change of paradigm about the international industry environment. Today, the international industry environment has been changed into vigorous situation with the new trade system such as globalization, UR negotiation, WTO system instead of GATT. Among these environments, all enterprises in any industries should try to enhance their benefit, income profits and develop their management strategy, because it is essential for them to keep and make a profit in order to be competitive against all other rivaling enterprises. According to researchers and the ages of history, the concept and determinants of competitive advantage have been dissimiliar as followings. 1) Theory of absolute advantage : Absolute Product Cost. 2) Theory of comparative advantage : Comparative Product Cost. 3) Theory of reciprocal demand : the Reciprocal Demand Structure. 4) Theory of Hechsher-Ohlin : Factor Endowment. 5) Paradox of Leontief : the Quality of Factor Endowment. 6) Theory of technological gap : R & D. 7) Technological gap model : The Technological Gap. 8) Theory of the product life cycle : Product Life Cycle. 9) Christensen's study : Firm's character & manager's character. 10) Monopolistic Advantage Theories : Monopolistic Advantage 11) Electic theory : Ownership, location and internalization specific advantages. 12) Theory of value chain : Cost advantage, Differentiation, Focus. However all these theories have the limit of illustration regarding today's competitive situation, the Porter's theory shows well the determinants of competitive advantage with competitive strategy. Therefore, the analysis of the competitive advantage for maritime industry should be studied by the determinants of competitive advantage of nations

첨단 교통정보 시스템(ATIS)의 핵심요소라고 할 수 있는 동적경로안내 시스템 (Dynamic Route Guidance System)은 운전자가 목적지에 도착하기까지 실시간 교통정보를 토대로 최적경로를 안내해줌으로써 날로 심화되고 있는 교통혼잡을 최소화 할 수 있으리라 기대를 모으고 있다. 특히 교통사고나 긴급 도로공사 등으로 인해 발생하는 돌발적 교통혼잡하에서는 DRGS의 역할이 더욱 커질 것으로 예상되고 있다. 본 논문은 돌발적 교통혼잡하에서 보다 효과적인 DRGS의 경로안내 전략을 수립하고 평가하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 우선 하부구조기반 DRGS와 개인차량기반 DRGS의 장단점을 비교하고 시스템 아키텍쳐와 경로안내전략의 관계를 규명하였다. 또한 효율적인 경로안내를 위해 사용자평형 (User Equilibrium) 경로안내전략과 시스템 최적화(System Optimal) 경로안내 전략을 이상형교통망 (Idealized Network)을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 그리고 돌발적 교통 혼잡하에서 사용자평형 경로 안내를 사용할 경우 야기될 수 있는 Braess Paradox 문제와 시스템 최적경로안내를 사용할 경우 일어날 수 있는 사용자 호응도(User Compliance) 문제를 동시에 감안한 적응 형 경로안내 전략을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 위의 경로 안내 전략들이 가지고 있는 장단점을 상황에 따라 평가하여 경로안내 전략을 선택하는 과정을 수행시간을 절약하지 못할 것으로 평가되면 사용자 호응도를 고려하여 사용자 평형 전략을 선택하도록 하였다. 돌발적 교통 혼잡하에서 통행 시간을 동적으로 예측하기 위해서는 이산 확정적 대기행렬모형 (Discrete Deterministic Queueing Model)이 적용되었다. 한편, 적응형 전략의 효율성을 평가하기 위 해 이상형교통망과 실제 미국 Virginia 주의 Fairfax Country에 소재한 주간 고속도로 66번 과 인접 교통망을 대상으로 각종 돌발교통혼잡상황을 전제로 한 Traffic Simulation과 정보 제공 시나리오를 INTEGRATION Model을 사용하여 실행하였다. 그 결과 적응형전략이 단지 사용자평형 경로안내전략만 사용하는 경우에 비해 교통 혼잡도와 유고상황의 체류정도에 따라 3%에서 10%정도까지 전체통행시간을 절약할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

Theoretically, it is known that common beliefs and/or common knowledge cannot be attained in asynchronously distributed multiagent environments, however, it show that some propositions with deadlines can be attained as common beliefs among a set of fully trusted agents even when they communicate to each other asynchronously. Generally, in the multiagent environment, the attainment of common beliefs is approached as a problem of communication, and for the common beliefs paradox that the common beliefs is not attained on a system without communication time restriction is applied to loose coarser granularity and it prove that forming common beliefs is possible by relaxing necessary requirements through the KakaoTalk chatting model. I also experimented with the reasoning function that confirms the common beliefs by inquiring about the common belief generated by implementing the inference function in each agent of the KakaoTalk chatting model. Through utilizing metalogic programming, a formalization of the presentation and reasoning of common beliefs has been achieved, and the group chatting model of KakaoTalk was adopted in experiments to show that common beliefs can be formed among distributed agents using asynchronous communication.

Objectives: This study compared the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight between native-born and foreign-born women. Methods: By Using the birth registration data, every woman who gave birth between 2010 and 2016 in Korea was included in the analysis. Duration from marriage to pregnancy was measured by month and multiple socioeconomic and demographic characteristics were controlled. Preterm birth (<37 weeks) and low birth weight (<2.5 kg) were used for outcome variables. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for data analysis with Stata. Results: The risks of preterm birth and low birth weight for native-born and foreign-born women differed according to the duration of marriage or birth order. For the first infant, foreign-born women were more likely to have pereterm birth or low birth weight than the native-born in the early stage of marriage but nativeborn women had higher risks than the foreign-born in the middle and later stage of marriage. For the second infant, foreign-born women were less likely to have pereterm birth or low birth weight than the native-born regardless of the duration of marriage. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrates that the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight for foreign-born women is concentrated on the early stage of marriage. Institutional and cultural supports should be given to foreign-born women to help their early settlement in the Korean society.

This paper aims at a better understanding of the concept of korean separable syntactic atom, of which inner parts is separable in syntax, and at examining whether or not this concept can apply to derivatives, functional complex constructions, idiomatic expressions in korean. I defined a syntactic atom as a minimum unit which is drawn directly from lexicon and then is applied to syntactic rules. And I insist that so-called 'lexical island constraint' has some problems and that the syntactic rules can be applied to inner parts of syntactic atom, if the syntactic rules is irrelevant to new syntactic atom formation. The greater part of derivatives is non-separable syntactic atoms. But the likes of '반짝거리다', '죄송스럽다', '칭얼대다' are the separable syntactic atoms. The degree of separability of them is different in the insertion of korean particles or negative adverbs and the omission of root of sytactic atom. The derivatives of 'X-적', of which roots is regular nominal roots, permit the syntactic link between roots and the syntactic combination of the root and its argument. These kinds of derivatives is separable syntactic atoms. Also the derivatives of 'bracket paradox' and 'X-답-' derivatives is separable syntactic atoms. All functional complex constructions are not separable syntactic atoms. According to the degree of grammaticalization, inner parts of some are separable, some is non-separable. Separable functional complex constructions only permit the switching of endings or Josas but not application of other syntactic rules. All idiomatic expressions which are composed of two or more syntactic atoms are separable syntactic atoms. Some of them have so strong separability to allow the insertion of syntactic atom, adverb or adnominal modification and the noun in idiomatic expression to become the head of the relative clause. And some idiomatic expressions which have weak separability only permit interrogative's substitution or form change in fraction of idiomatic expressions.
