Unlike the past, university libraries are able to provide specialized and differentiated information services due to the advent of information technology and telecommunication. Such services are essential not only to the primary users, such as professors and students in the universities, but also to the external users including corporations, researchers, and the general public. Now, university libraries as a means of resource sharing with communities should develop the services to play a role as a research and information center and expand such services to outside users who need the information services. Accordingly financial support is a necessity to provide the services, thereby fee-based information services are one of the devices for solving the financial burden and controlling outside users. This paper tries to present a program for fee-based information services which are able to be implemented by university libraries. Also the papers deals with the present conditions of fee-based information services provided by university libraries briefly and the goals of the program; coverage of subjects and types of materials for the program; organizations and staff; types of fee-based information services; management methods of program.

A promising approach to get the benefits of neural networks and fuzzy logic is to combine them into an integrated system to merge the computational power of neural networks and the representation and reasoning properties of fuzzy logic. In this context, this paper presents a fuzzy neural network which is able to code fuzzy knowledge in the form of it-then rules in its structure. The network also provides an efficient structure not only to code knowledge, but also to support fuzzy reasoning and information processing. A learning scheme is also derived for a class of membership functions.

Properties of school foundation are divided into fundamental property for education and fundamental property for profit. As school sites and teachers used for educational and study activities of students, fundamental property for education includes practice sites, farms and support research attached facilities in addition to school facilities. According to the Clause 1 of Article 4 of the University Foundation and Management Regulation and the Attached Table 2 of the Same Regulation, dormitory is classified as property for education(non-profit). In other words, there is no need to create profit for dormitory management. It is supposed that there are little regional differences in construction cost of dormitory with general specifications. In this case, boarding fees of university dormitories should make no difference. This study analyzed boarding fees, depending on regional factors(Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, metropolitan cities and provinces), and depending on foundation subjects(national public university and private university), classes(four-year university and college) and principal schools-branch schools. The result of One-Way ANOVA showed that Seoul showed the highest average boarding fee and it was followed by Gyeonggi-do, metropolitan cities and provinces. Also, the average boarding fees of private universities and four-year universities were higher than national public universities and than colleges, respectively. In addition, branch school's boarding fee was higher than principal school's. Additionally, this study extracted a model using the hedonic model to see how various characteristics such as region, foundation subject and class influence the boarding fee. This study would serve as fundamental research on the boarding fee. Thus far, there have been difficulties in obtaining accurate data and analyzing boarding fees, since there is no open data about dormitories and it isn't mandatory to open it, but it is anticipated that this would be used as fundamental research for estimating and analyzing boarding fees of many universities in the future.

The purposes of this research were (1) to comprehend how families used and evaluated the in-home care service provided by the Healthy Family Support Center, and (2) to investigate the differences in the perceptions of service fee, satisfaction in and loyalty to service among the types of family categorized by their income. The data from 346 mothers or fathers whose children had received the in-home care service at least once were analyzed. One-way ANOVA and Scheffe or Tamhane post hoc test were used to test the hypotheses. The findings were as follows: 1. There were significant differences in perception of the service fee among the family types: the 'Da'-type families tended to perceive that the service fee was expensive and not cheaper than the similar services provided by other organizations. 2. The 'Ga'-type families scored significantly higher than the 'Na'-type families and the 'Da'-type families on satisfaction in service, and higher than the 'Da'-type families on loyalty to the service. 3. No significant difference was found on satisfaction in the performances of baby-sitters and staffs in charge of the service. The implications drawn from the study findings are discussed.

This study was carried out to compare dietary attitudes between the children with school lunch fee provided by parents and by the government. The subjects of this study was consisted of 460 elementary school students in the 6th grade (407 lunch-affordable children. 53 lunch-unaffordable children) . General characteristics was significantly different in two groups. In the free group family size(P<0.001),percentage of living with parents (P<0.001) and education level of parents(father : P<0.05, mother P<0.01) was lower than in the charged group, but the dependence on mother's income(P<0.001) and financial support of government (P<0.001) was higher. There was no significant difference in anthropometric measurements by lunch fee. The preference to cooling method was significantly different(P<0.01), the charged group liked grill except frying and roasting but the free group liked seasoning and salting. When comparing eating habits, general eating behavior(P<0.05) was significantly lower in the free children and especially regularity of breakfast(P<0.05) and daily intake of raw vegetables (P<0.05), fruits(P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the total score of nutrition knowledge between the children of the two groups.

Securities companies which faced with severe competition should not only attract new customers but also retain their on-line customers. This study examines the factors affecting loyalty of on-line stock trading customers. The research model based on the previous studies was established and the research hypotheses were generated. The test results based on the data gathered from 87 users of on-line stock trading services show that user satisfaction, learning cost, transaction fees, and reputation influence customer loyalty. User satisfaction, learning cost and reputation are positively related to customer loyalty, whereas transaction fee is negatively related to customer loyalty. The results also support that information quality and system quality are positively related to user satisfaction. The hypothesis that transaction fee is related to user satisfaction is not supported. There is no significant information to say that security risk is related to user satisfaction. It is considered that the study results may help managers to increase customer retention.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify relationships between depression, family support, and rehabilitation-motivation in patients with cerebrovascular accident. Method: The data were collected from 'S' hospital in Seoul from Feb. 1, 2004 to Apr. 30, 2004. The data were analyzed using a SPSS 10.0 program for descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The results were as follows: The mean rehabilitation-motivation was 119.89, which was slightly high. The rehabilitation-motivation was influenced by religion, education level, occupation, economic status, treatment fee, duration of hospitalization, level of language ability and ADL. Rehabilitation-motivation has showed correlation with family support (r=.538, p=.000) and depression (r=-.417, p=.000). The variables related to rehabilitation-motivation were identified as family support, level of ADL, occupation, depression, and education level, using stepwise multiple regression. They were accounted for 57% of predictability of the rehabilitation-motivation, with the family support the highest at 29.3%. Conclusion: With increasing post stroke patients in Korea, we need to pay more attention to the rehabilitation of them. This study indicates that health professionals need to focus on the intervention especially in increasing family support and in decreasing depression of the patients with cerebrovascular accident.

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, SMEs are forced to converge themselves into online business to cope with the rapidly changing business environment. However, due to various difficulties of becoming an online business, most SMEs choose to use services provided by the online sales platform. These platforms offer valuable support such as DSS in return for the high amount of commission fee. We analyze a novel data set from Naver Corporation's 'Smart Store' platform with the quasi-experimental method (propensity score matching technique combined with the difference in differences analysis) to analyze DSS usage and SME's performance empirically. Our results suggest that DSS usage leads to an increase in SME's sales performance in means of sales frequency and sales amount. Additionally, we have found weak support that DSS usage enables SMEs to attract customers better than those not using DSS.

It has been asserted that per diem payment system should be introduced, in place of the current fee-for-service system, for payment of the inpatient services of the geriatric hospitals, Based on the assentation, this study aims at calculating costs and profits per inpatient-day of the geriatric hospitals, and thereby at contributing to the managerial improvement from the both sides of the Government and the hospitals. Relevant data of the three months, May to August, 2002 were collected from the five geriatric hospitals, and per inpatient-day costs and profits were calculated for the three disease groups. Major results and conclusions are as follow : Firstly, total costs per insured inpatient-day of the geriatric hospitals are 65, 389 won for dementia (including optimal profit of 3,858 won), 69,730 won for stroke (including optimal profit of 4,117 won), and 70,085 won for other diseases (including optimal profit of 4,134 won). Secondly, the amount of the non-insured costs per inpatient-day occupies 34.5% of the total costs for dementia, 30.3% for stroke, and 30.1% for other diseases. Thirdly, the total amount of the per inpatient-day costs calculated including the optimal profits is, on the average, higher by 12% than the present price level calculated for the current fee-far-service system. This implies that the present price level should rise by 12% when the current fee-far-service payment system be maintained, and Finally, introduction of a sliding-scale payment system should be considered for the inpatient medical management fees for the length of stay over six months or more that are being cut in the claim examination process by the insurance corporation.
