인터넷이 최선형 망에서 품질형 비즈니스 망으로 진화해가면서 정확한 트래픽 측정 데이터를 기반으로 한 과금이 인터넷 서비스 제공자에게는 매우 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 과금 협상은 서비스 제공자와 고객간뿐만 아니라 서비스 제공자간에도 필요하지만 현재로는 가장 간단한 정액제를 대부분 사용하고 있다. 상호 관련 기관간에 동의할 수 있는 적절한 과금 정책을 찾기가 쉽지 않기도 하지만 의미 있는 종량제 기반의 과금 시스템을 개발하기에는 많은 기술적인 어려움이 있다. IP 헤더 정보에만 의존한 사용량 기반 측정은 피어 투 피어 응용과 네트워크 게임과 같은 인터넷 응용의 개발 및 활용으로 인한 동적인 특성으로 인해 더 이상 충분하지 않게 되었다. 이 응용들은 포트번호를 동적으로 변경하며 심지어는 여러 응용이 하나의 포트번호를 공유하기도 한다. 따라서 보다 정확하게 트래픽 사용량을 분류하고 측정할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 고성능, 뛰어난 적응성 및 확장성을 가지면서 정밀하게 사용량을 측정하고 분석할 수 있는 컨텐츠 기반 응용 트래픽 측정 및 분석 시스템의 구조, 알고리즘 및 구현방법을 제안한다.

The emergence of the luxury market has led numerous academic researchers, as well as marketers in the luxury market, to pay attention to both identifying luxury brand features and measuring perceptions toward luxury brands. Especially, Korea is a significant emerging market for luxury goods. Young consumers and male consumers are getting into the luxury market fast and these new segments will keep increasing. There are only a few studies related to distinctive definitions of luxury brands and measurement development for the Korean market. However, there are some limitations in these previous studies in that they did not capture the nature of luxury due to their inappropriate of subjects and approach in data collection and to lack of a perspective of Korean specific features. Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify Korean consumers' perceptions toward luxury products and, ultimately, to develop a reliable and valid measurement items for the luxury products' features for the Korean market. Defining the three high constructs(functional, emotional, and symbolic aspects) as a key needs and benefits on luxury brands, we looked at four stages of development for generating and deducting items by luxury industry experts and luxury consumers, as well as for testing measures by 20th~60th consumers. As a result, this study confirmed that luxury brands consists of high quality, high price, unique design, and luxury store; the emotional aspect construct combines craftsmanship, VIP service, and high social status; and the symbolic construct includes brand heritage and being a well-known brand. Finally, 22 measurement items (Measures of Luxury Brand for Korea: LBK) were developed for the conceptual features for luxury brands from a Korean perspective. This study provided understanding of Korean consumers' perceptions toward luxury brands from an academic perspective. For the managerial implication of this study, LBK can be utilized to judge both luxury brands and mass brands, to diagnose current a brand's luxuriousness, from the customer's point-of-view, and, finally, to measure a Key Performance Index (KPI) of luxury brand companies.

WCDMA 시스템에서는 다른 주파수 또는 다른 시스템의 신호 세기를 측정하기 위하여 압축 모드(Compressed Mode)를 사용한다. 압축 모드로 동작하는 동안에는 처리 이득(Processing Gain)이 낮아지기 때문에 단말의 QoS(Quality of Service)에 영향을 끼친다. 그러므로 기지국은 단말이 요구하는 QoS를 만족시키기 위해서 전송 전력량을 증가시킨다. 한편 압축 모드의 전송 간격(Transmission Gap) 동안에는 내부 회로 전력 제어가 동작하지 않고 인터리빙(Interleaving)의 영향도 줄어들기 때문에 단말은 더 높은 Eb/No을 요구하게 된다. 따라서 시스템의 전체적인 성능 저하를 초래하게 된다. 성능에 미치는 영향 때문에, 압축 모드는 RNC(Radio Network Controller)에 의해서 다른 주파수 또는 다른 시스템의 신호 측정이 필요한 경우에만 동작하여야 한다. 그러나 3GPP는 압축 모드 동작을 결정할 수 있는 방법을 정의하지 않았다. 그러므로 성능 저하를 줄이기 위해서 압축 모드 동작을 결정할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 셀과 같은 주파수를 사용하는 인접 셀과 다른 주파수 또는 다른 시스템을 사용하는 인접 셀로 구성된 셀 환경에서 압축 모드가WCDMA 순방향 링크의 성능에 미치는 영향을 수식적으로 분석하고 압축 모드 사용에 따른 성능 저하를 줄이기 위하여 압축 모드가 필요하지 않은 단말의 압축모드 동작을 제한할 수 있는 단말 측정에 의한 압축 모드 방법을 제안한다. 수치적 분석 결과, 압축 모드를 사용할 때의 성능은 압축 모드를 사용하지 않을 때의 성능에 비해 급격하게 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 제안하는 방법을 적용하였을 때, 압축 모드 사용에 따른 성능 감소를 크게 줄임을 확인하였다.

The National Forest Inventory (NFI) is important for providing fundamental data for basic forest planning and the establishment of forest policies for the purpose of implementing sustainable forest management. The purpose of this study is to present the development of Korea's NFI including legal basis, sampling design, and measured variables and to review the usage of NFI data. The survey methods and forestry statistics among the Unites States, Canada, Japan, China, and European countries were briefly compared. Total 140 publications utilizing NFI data between 2008 and 2015 were categorized with 15 subjects. Korea has conducted the NFI 6 times since 1971, but only the $6^{th}$ NFI is comparable with the fifth, the previous NFI, because the permanent sampling plots have been shared between the periods. The Korean Forestry Statistics contains only half as many variables as that of advanced countries in Forestry. More researches were needed to improve consistent measurement of diverse variables through implementation of advanced technologies. Additional data for Forest Health Monitoring since the NFI $6^{th}$ must be under quality control which will be an essential part of the inventories for providing the chronological change of forest health.

Background This is a prospective study on 118 patients who underwent lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) due to secondary lower limb lymphedema between January 2018 and October 2020 to evaluate patients' quality of life (QOL) using the Quality of Life Measure for Limb Lymphedema (LYMQoL) questionnaire. Methods The outcome measurement included the LYMQoL leg scoring system tool evaluating the function, appearance, symptom, mood, and overall outcome. In addition, correlation analysis was performed for three factors: based on International Society of Lymphology (ISL) stages, disease duration, and amount of volume reduction. Results The LYMQoL tool overall satisfaction score significantly increased at all intervals from 4.4 ± 0.2 preoperative to 6.5 ± 0.3 postoperative at 12 months (p < 0.001). Significant findings were seen for each domain scores compared preoperatively and at 12 months: function score (18.6 ± 0.5 to 15.4 ± 0.6), appearance score (17.8 ± 0.5 to 16.0 ± 0.6), symptom score (11.8 ± 0.3 to 8.9 ± 0.4), and mood score (14.5 ± 0.4 to 11.4 ± 0.5; p < 0.05). The correlation analysis between improvement of the overall score and the ISL stage (p = 0.610, correlation coefficient [r] = -0.047), disease duration (p = 0.659, r = -0.041), and amount of limb volume reduction (p = 0.454, r = -0.070) showed no statistical significance. Conclusion The QOL of secondary lower limb lymphedema patients was significantly improved after LVA regardless of the severity of disease, duration of disease, and amount of volume reduction after LVA. Understanding the patient-reported outcome measurement will help the surgeons to manage and guide the expectations of the patients.

Background : In these days, the health care organizations have concerned about customer-centered care in order to empower the competitiveness on the health care markets. The departments working for quality management of the hospitals have used health care quality indicators in terms of medical areas as well as service areas of the hospitals. However, there were insufficient efforts to develop the credible measurement to seek the customers' needs, their expectations and their satisfaction levels related to health care services because various kinds of challenges were in the process of scale development to measure customers' satisfaction in health care. The purpose of this study was to develop the satisfaction scale to health care services in a Korea health care organization and to test its tool with validity and reliability. Method : The concept of this tool was acceptability that one of the components of health care quality defined by Donabedian. Acceptability has the five dimensions of concept: Accessibility; Patient-Practitioner Relations; Amenities; Patient Preferences as to the effects of care; and Patient Preferences as to the costs of care. The Satisfaction Tool to Health Care Services was reviewed by expert panel with five researchers, including hospital managers and a professor related to quality management of the hospitals. As a result, the content validity index was .84 in the outpatient satisfaction tool. The inpatient satisfaction tool had .87 of the content validity index. The Satisfaction Tools to Health Care Services finally consisted of 44 items for outpatients/their families and of 60 items for inpatients/their families. Study subjects of the construct validity test were 479 outpatients/their families and 561 inpatients/their families who visited or admitted at a University hospital from July 1, 1996 through August 10, 1996. The data were examined by Factor Analysis with SPSS. Result : The items of Satisfaction tools for outpatients/their families were categorized by eleven factors with eigenvalue greater than 1.0 accounting for 64.2 percent of the variation in item scores. Also, the items of inpatient tool had eleven factors with eigenvalue greater than 1.0 accounting for 60.3 percent of the variation in item scores. The reliability of overall scale were .95 and .96 for the outpatients/their families satisfaction scores and inpatient/their families satisfaction scores. The internal consistency reliability with eleven factors was ranged from .30 to .94 for inpatients/their families. The Satisfaction Tool with eleven factors for inpatients/their families had internal consistency reliability ranged from .53 to .89. Conclusion : The Satisfaction Tools to Health Care Services focused on outpatients/their families and inpatients/their families developed in this study had a high reliability and the strong evidence of content validity and construct validity based on quality concept. Therefore, this tool would be utilized as a credible quality indicator of health care services to assess the quality problems and to monitor the quality improvement activities in Korean Health Care Organizations.
