Policy polls, which investigate the degree of support that the policy has for policy implementation, play an important role in making decisions. As the number of Internet users increases, the public is actively commenting on their policy news stories. Current policy polls tend to rely heavily on phone and offline surveys. Collecting and analyzing policy articles is useful in policy surveys. In this study, we propose a method of analyzing comments using deep learning technology showing outstanding performance in various fields. In particular, we designed various models based on the recurrent neural network (RNN) which is suitable for sequential data and compared the performance with the support vector machine (SVM), which is a traditional machine learning model. For all test sets, the SVM model show an accuracy of 0.73 and the RNN model have an accuracy of 0.83.

Public opinion polls have a strong influence on modern society as a means of examining the tendency of social groups on specific issues. As the influence of the polls increases, the problem of forgery and falsification of the results becomes an important issue. So, to guarantee the reliability of the results, our society needs novel mechanisms. As one of such mechanisms, the Ethereum blockchain is an environment for developing decentralized applications with the reliable blockchain technology. Ethereum decentralized applications can utilize smart contracts to provide services for users in transparent and reliable ways. In this paper, we propose a polling method that guarantees reliability using the blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger technique that makes forgery or falsification actually impossible. The proposed method provides a robust verification function on the results of the associated polls for individual voters and verification organizations. Also, we present a distributed opinion polling application running on our private Ethereum blockchain network, showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Thanks to the advantages of low cost and quick results, public opinion polls on election in Korea have been generally conducted by telephone survey, even though it has critical disadvantage of low response rate. In public opinion polls on election in Korea, the general method to handle nonresponses is adjusting the survey weight to estimate parameters. This study first drives mathematical expression of estimator and its bias with variance estimators with/without nonresponses in election polls in Korea. We also investigates the nonresponse rate of telephone survey on 2012 Korea presidential election. The average response rate was barely about 14.4%. In addition, we conducted a survey in April 2014 on the respondents's attitude toward telephone surveys. In the survey, the first reason for which respondents do not answer on public opinion polls on election was "feel bothered". And the aged 20s group, the most low response group, also gave the same answer. We here suggest that survey researchers motivate survey respondents, specially younger group, to participate surveys and find methods boosting response rate such as giving incentive.

Bluetooth is an emerging technology expected to provide users with short range, low cost, pico-cellular wireless connectivity. The access to the medium for Bluetooth is based on a Master driven Time Division Duplexing (TDD) scheme. A slave transmits packets in the reverse slot only after the master polls the slave (or transmits a packet to the slave) in a forward slot. The master transmits packets to a slave in even slots while the slave transmits packets to the master in an odd slot. The way in which the master schedules packets transmission to slaves or polls them determines system performance. In this paper. we propose a traffic adaptive MAC scheduling scheme for Bluetooth. The proposed scheme adopts the ISAR (Intelligent Segmentation and Reassembly) policy, which adjusts the packet size to the traffic patterns, to adapt the polling frequency to the traffic conditions. Also for achieving fairness among master-slave connections our scheme includes a priority policy assinging prioritised service tlimes to each connection. By considering a scenario where a Bluetooth master is used as wireless access point to the Internet, we show that our scheme improve the system throughput and average queue delay with regard to a naive Round Robin (RR) scheme.

The recent increase in elderly population poses various problems in the field of social infrastructure and the living environments for the aged. Providing enough housing for the elderly has become one of the fundamental goals in social welfare policies. In light of these current condition, it is necessary to understand the demands of the aged in terms of the standards of living conditions in which they would be satisfied in order to better serve them. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide basic design data for architects and builders by analysing the demands and characteristics of residents in privately-owned housings for the elderly in Korea and Japav. The method of this research was based on the comparison analysis of polls taken in Korea and Japav. The results of this research are as follows: Because the polls show that the elderly want to continue their current life-style after placed in a elderly-care facility, when designing housing for the elderly, it must not be considered separate from the general society. it must be designed in way so that the residents can fully interact with the general society. Also, in order to achieve above goals, social welfare policies must be reconsidered to meet the needs of the aged populatiov.

This research aims to discuss the causes of inaccuracy in public opinion polls currently conducted in Korea. In particular, identifying the problems in sampling frame and sampling methods in political and social public opinion polls is an important question. Currently, most polling organizations operating in Korea are using phone number directories provided by Korea Telecom(KT) as its sampling frame for conducting most political polls. A critical problem of using a phone number directory as a sampling frame is that unlisted phone numbers can never be included in the sample. If a systematic difference in socio-demographic or politico-economic characteristics exists between the listed number using group and the unlisted group, using a phone number directory as a sampling frame cannot produce a sample that can represent the whole adult population in Korea. According to the poll result commissioned by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in January 2011, there are statistically significant differences in socio-demographic and politico-economic characteristics between those two groups, and those differences led to the differences in the presidential job approval rating and party support. Our findings include that the listed number using group is more pro-Grand National Party and show stronger support for the president than the unlisted group.

It is very important to obtain objective and credible information through election polls in order to contribute to the correct voting behavior of the voters or to establish appropriate election strategies for candidates or political parties. Therefore, many related organizations such as political parties, media organizations, and research institutions have been making efforts to improve the accuracy of the results of the polls and the election prediction. Kim et al. (2017) analyzed whether the non-response group responded that there is no support candidate in the election survey to increase the accuracy of the estimation of the vote rate. As a result, it has been confirmed that the accuracy of the estimation of the vote rate can be significantly improved by performing an appropriate classification on the non-response layer. In this study, we propose a method to estimate the turnout by each strata (sex, age group) under the condition that the total turnout rate is given for a specific district (region) and propose a procedure to predict the vote rate by reflecting the turnout. In addition, case studies were conducted using data gathered through telephone interviews for the 20th National Assembly elections in 2016.

Ranked data are widely used in the area of social sciences, for instance in polls and preference surveys, in which a number of objects (or stimuli) are evaluted and ranked by a panel of judges (or subject) according to their preference. We propose a graphical method for ranked data by quantifying objects and judges. In a plot for judges, the interpoint distances can be interpreted as Spearman or Kendall distance between two rankings given by respective judges. Similarly, we also construct a plot for objects with a sensible relationship to the previous plot for judges.
