  • The importance of science and technology as the root of exceptional regional economic development has been extolled since the time of Schumpeter. Today emerging technologies are signaling the start of a new economic cycle where regions that are effective in technology translation will gain advantage. The will of policymakers to translate technology into regional job and wealth creation seems to be at an all-time high. Yet an improved process for translating technical development into regional prosperity has proved elusive. If there are no processes other than applying techniques that have worked in the past for other regions to a new region then there is cause for concern. Here the authors seek to add to this field of knowledge by applying elements of the varied cluster theories to provide a basis for policy for regional economic development by turning science and technology into commercial innovation. We provide a review of current cluster theories and discuss the positive and negative issues associated with each. We propose a model that allows interested professionals to utilize aspects of each cluster perspective geared to the realities of their specific area.

  • System identification and controller formulation are essential in dynamic process control. In system identification, data for system identification are obtained, and then they are analyzed so that the system model of the process is built, identified, and diagnosed. In controller formulation, the control equation is derived based on the result of the system identification. There has been much theoretical research on system identification and controller formulation. These theories are very useful when they are appropriately applied. To our regret, however, these theories are not always effectively applied in practice because the engineers and the operators who manage the process often do not have the necessary understanding of required time series analysis methods. On the other hand, because of widespread use of statistical packages, system identification such as estimating ARMA models can be done with little understanding of time series analysis methods. Therefore, it might be said that the most theoretically difficult part in practice is the controller formulation. In this paper, lists of control equations are proposed as a useful tool for practitioners to use. The tool supports bridging the gap between theory and practice in dynamic process control. Also, for some models, the generalized control equations are obtained.

  • This study has two aims. one is to devide the ideology of reference service into three groups such as conservative, moderative, and progressive theories, and then investigate the validity of each theory as well as any problems to be suggested. The other is to establish appropriate standards of reference service according to the types of libraries and users, based on the analysis of such theories. Each theory has its own merits and demerits. Accordingly, it seems to be difficult to apply uniformly and theory into users who have different types of question and educational levels. And also it is difficult to apply into various libraries which have different aims of establishment, characteristics, and the users of each library. Consequently, it is suggested to set up a norm of reference service according to the types of libraries and users respectively. The conservative theory is applicable to small and medium sized public libraries, school libraries, and college and university libraries of which the users are mainly students and citizens. The progressive theory is desirable for special and academic libraries as well as large public libraries where the users are mainly specialists. and scholars.

  • In present study, a novel refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory is proposed for the buckling analysis of thick isotropic plates. The new displacement field is constructed with only two unknowns, as against three or more in other higher order shear deformation theories. However, the hyperbolic sine function is assigned according to the shearing stress distribution across the plate thickness, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using any shear correction factors. The equations of motion associated with the present theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. The analytical solution of the buckling of simply supported plates subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions was obtained using the Navier method. The critical buckling load results for thick isotropic square plates are compared with various available results in the literature given by other theories. From the present analysis, it can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and efficient in predicting the buckling response of isotropic plates.

  • Purpose: The underdog effect refers to a positive attitude towards the underdog who lacks resources and opportunities but has passion and determination. Extensive research has been investigated how the underdog effect affects distributing consumer preference and purchase intention. The purpose of this study is to identify the theoretical basis on which the underdog effect is grounded by analysing the prior research in the underdog literature. Research design, data and methodology: This study organizes the literature on the underdog effect by analyzing a total of 33 journals published in the past 16 years. Constructs and variables were extracted from the selected articles through the content analysis on a systematic literature review. Results: This literature review reveals that identity theories served as an overarching theoretical lens when examining the underdog effect. Additionally, the underdog effect was rooted in theories of justice and equity to explain the relationship between underdog brand positioning and consumer preference. Conclusions: This paper paves the way for future research based on prior research and trend analysis of underdog brand positioning. This article also provides an insightful interpretation and synthesis of the theoretical underpinnings of the impact of underdog effects on consumers' overall brand evaluations.

  • Purpose: This study examines the role of leaders of sport organizations from the perspectives of rank-and-file volunteers. Specifically, the study explores which factors are important in leading volunteers and how rank-and-filers interact with their leaders. Research design, data, and methodology: This study reviews a comprehensive literature on volunteer and leadership theories which are trait theory, behavior theory, and contingency theory. Given the comprehension of prior structure of knowledge on leadership, the study provides a structure of knowledge on volunteer and leadership in sport context and discusses managerial implications for leaders in sport organization. Results: With an exploration of sport leadership, this study proposes a volunteer classification model which presents four-volunteer types: professional volunteer, company volunteer, general volunteer, and school volunteer. Furthermore, this study discussed managerial implications for sport organization leaders. Conclusions: Paid employees may be prepared to accept a job and its requirements mainly due to economic benefits. Volunteers, however, do not pursue economic benefits through their activity. Different types of motivation between paid employees and volunteers bring to surface how a leader influences volunteer effectively. A conceptual volunteer clarification model could be examined in real world situations. Insights for future studies were discussed.

  • Purpose: This study investigates the psychological mechanisms of comparison within the design context of retail stores, products, and advertising. The research aims to expand the understanding of comparison psychology, encompassing social, cognitive, perceptual, and self-comparisons and their application in design practices. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: The study employs a comprehensive review of psychological theories related to comparison psychology. They were selected through extensive research on literature pertaining to design psychology and consumer behavior. The research integrates insights from psychology, marketing, consumer behavior, and design theory, supported by various design examples of retail stores, products, and advertising, to demonstrate the practical applications. Results: The findings reveal that comparison psychology significantly impacts consumer preferences and user experiences. For instance, the assimilation effect and prospect theory highlight how comparisons shape value judgments and design perceptions. Practical examples are used to illustrate the profound influence of comparative judgments in design. Conclusion: The study advocates for a "psychologically-informed approach" to design, promoting designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound but also psychologically aligned. By bridging the gap between psychological theories and practical design implementations, the research provides valuable insights for designers, marketers, and psychologists, enhancing the psychological efficacy of design.

  • Ingrained in multiple consumption theories, this research covers the seven determinants (Hedonic Consumption, Consumers' mood, Store layout, product promotion, Persons' situation, Materialism, and Product Attributes) of purchase intentions of a consumer. For this study, 384 offline shoppers were surveyed and found that out of seven, six determinants significantly trigger impulse buying behavior of customers of beauty products in a modern market setting while one determinant 'Materialism' did not have any influence on the impulse buying behavior. The relationships of the variables were statistically checked by multiple linear regression. Results of this study show that a consumer's mood has a significant impact on impulse buying as it can trigger the impulse behavior of consumers. Person situations also have a positive impact on impulse buying it means time, money, fear of missing out can active impulse buying. Store layout can also trigger that unplanned purchase which means store lighting, the music of the store, ambiance may affect the purchasing. Product promotion has an impact on spontaneous purchase which indicates that free coupons, discounts, free delivery, offers to attract the customer to sudden purchase. Product design, packaging, color, labeling indicate a positive and significant impact on impulse buying. However, materialism indicates an insignificant impact on impulse buying.

  • 이 글은 묵자가 개진한 군사사상들을 살펴보고 그것이 지닌 현대적 가치를 조명해 보는데 있다. 묵자의 군사사상은 그가 제창한 "비공"사상을 이론적 기초로 하여 약자가 강자의 침략과 약탈로부터 자신을 지키고 방어하기 위한 목적으로 형성되었다. 이점은 공격위주의 다른 병법과 다른 점이다. 그런데 묵자의 군사이론 속에는 오늘날 우리가 주목해야할 몇 가지 가치가 눈에 띈다. 먼저, 전쟁 시 부녀자와 노인 그리고 아동에 대해 특별한 임무와 역할을 부여하고 있다는 것이다. 특히 부녀자의 경우는 남자와 거의 동등한 지위를 부여하고 있다. 나라의 비상사태가 발생했을 때 노인과 아동에 대해서도 일정하면서도 중요한 역할을 부여하고 실행하게 하기 위해서는 평상시에도 이들의 사회적 지위를 인정하고 존중해야만 한다. 이처럼 사회적 약자에 대해 권익을 보장하고 지위를 존중할 수 있도록 유도하는 묵가의 사상은 인간이 지닌 권리 존중의 초보적 접근이라고 보여 지며 이 글을 통해 밝혀내고자 한다. 또한 애민의식에서 비롯된 묵가의 과학기술사상은 방어전에도 적용이 되어 당시로 볼 때 상당히 선진화된 무기들을 개발하고 실전에 배치하고 있다. 그런데 묵가가 전쟁에서 활용한 무기들은 모두가 방어전에만 유용한 것들이다. 백성들에게 유용한 것이 진정한 과학이라고 하는 묵가의 사상이 현실에 그대로 적용 사례라고 볼 수 있을 것이다. 지구상에는 크고 작은 전쟁들이 끊이질 않고 발생하고 있다. 이들 전쟁 모두가 자신들만의 이익을 위해 발생하는 것이라는 점을 고려할 때 서로 차별 없는 사랑을 주장한 묵가의 사상이 반전 평화의 군사사상을 주창한 것은 너무나 당연한 귀결일 것이다.
