Concurrent use of Korean Medicine and Western Medicine: findings from the 2008 National Survey

Hyun, Min Kyung Society of Preventive Korean Medicine 2017 대한예방한의학회지 Vol.21 No.1

Objectives : The concurrent use of Korean Medicine (KM) and Western Medicine (WM) for the management of disease are increasing. In this study, the factors determining the choice of concurrent use of KM and WM was investigated based on national survey data for the public. Methods : Survey data from 1239 people with experience treating diseases with KM were utilized for this study. The national survey data were gathered using e-mail and face-to-face interviews between December 2007 and January 2008. Results : Among people who had been treated with KM, 819 (66%) used both KM and WM to the treat same disease. Multivariable analysis revealed that concurrent users of KM and WM were significantly associated with age 40-69 (OR=1.43, 95% CI=1.12-1.82), university education or higher (OR=1.34; 95% CI=1.05-1.71), enhanced health status (OR = 0.47, 95% CI=0.35-0.62) and unsatisfied with WM (OR = 1.71, 95% CI=1.02-2.87). The respondents that reported KM was more effective than WM among concurrent users of KM and WM were significantly associated with being an office worker (OR=1.78, 95% CI=1.25-2.53), age 40-69 (OR = 0.62, 95% CI=0.44-0.86), unsatisfied with WM (OR=2.61, 95% CI=1.51-4.50) and overall satisfied with KM (OR=8.38, 95% CI=5.65-12.44) Conclusions : This study showed that two-thirds of KM user were concurrent user of KM and WM, and some influential factors determined the choice of a concurrent use of KM and WM. Therefore, Korean Medicine Doctors should consider the possibility of concurrent use, need to know the information on the benefits and risks of concurrent use.

Therefore, Korean Medicine Doctors should consider the possibility of concurrent use, need to know the information on the benefits and risks of concurrent use.

An Experimental Study on Effects of Pair Programming on Task Performance

Seong No Yoon(윤성노),Jongheon Kim(김종헌),Sang-hyun Park(박상현) 한국데이타베이스학회 2007 Journal of information technology applications & m Vol.14 No.4

In recent years, pair programming has become a widely used approach for development of information systems. According to a worldwide survey, 35 percent of 104 development projects reported using pair programming. However, previous studies have shown rather mixed results in terms of the effectiveness of pair programming, comparing to individual or independent programming. This paper, therefore, uses a lab setting to control some of the variables that appear to have caused conflicting results in earlier studies. Writing SQL queries for given problem statements is selected as the task the subjects to solve. One key issue addressed is the distribution of work load among the pair programmers and the independent programmers. Another is communication among co-workers as would occur in a real-world system development environment. The results of this study indicate there is no significant difference in task performance pair programming and independent programming.

BRAND EXPLORATION IN METAVERSE: EFFECTS OF SELF-AVATAR RESEMBLANCE ON BRAND ATTITUDE AND PURCHASE INTENTION, AND MODERATED MEDIATION OF COPRESENCE

Jaehyun Lee,MinChung Kim,Yeolib Kim 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2023 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2023 No.07

A ‘brand’ metaverse is a virtual space where customers experience the brand via digital avatars. With the advancement of augmented and virtual reality technologies, a brand metaverse is an important medium for communicating the brand with customers. In this study, we focus on the resemblance between a customer’s self and his/her avatar (i.e., self-avatar resemblance) in the brand metaverse and examine its influence on brand attitude. Prior studies examine self-avatar resemblance exclusively in non-brand-related virtual gaming platforms and test its effect on identity perception and immersion in the platforms. However, few studies probe the extent to which self-avatar resemblance influences customers' exploration in a brand metaverse and their attitude toward the brand. We fill this research gap by uncovering the positive effects of self-avatar resemblance on brand attitude and purchase intentions. Moreover, we proffer that the customers’ engagement toward the brand metaverse platform mediates the relationship between self-avatar resemblance and brand attitude. In addition, based on the interactive nature of metaverse, we hypothesize copresence―the number of avatars exploring the brand metaverse at the same time―to be a moderator, which strengthens the mediation. We conduct an experiment using a fashion brand’s virtual world positioned in a popular metaverse platform. In this experiment, participants create an avatar and freely roam around in the brand metaverse with their avatars. By reviewing the screen recording of each participant’s brand exploration in the metaverse, we measure self-avatar resemblance and other constructs. We also collect responses from questionnaires designed to measure attitudinal and behavioral variables. With the accumulated data, we test the hypotheses using partial least square structural equation model and find the results largely consistent with the hypotheses. With the findings, we provide important and interesting implications to marketing practitioners considering and doing ‘metaverse marketing.’

교육 시스템에 적합한 하드웨어 규모산정 개선방안 연구

전웅렬 한국엔터프라이즈아키텍처학회 2022 정보기술아키텍처연구 Vol.19 No.1

하드웨어 규모산정은 정보시스템의 도입과정에서 예상 수요를 바탕으로 적절한 규모의 성능을추정하는 것을 의미한다. 기존 조사에 따르면 공공부문의 정보시스템 도입에서 하드웨어는 총 비용의50%에서 90%를 차지한다고 한다. 따라서 예산의 적절한 집행을 위해 적정 규모의 하드웨어 성능을예측하는 것은 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 우리나라는 정보보호 하드웨어 규모산정 지침을 활용하여 하드웨어 규모산정을 실시하고 있다. 코로나 이후 교육환경은 오프라인 중심에서 온라인-오프라인혼합형으로 진화하고 있다. 그리고 이를 위해 교육의 정보화 또한 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 교육 시스템은 기존 시스템과는 달리 사용자가 많고, 사용자가 특정 시점에 집중되며, 또 집중된 사용자 다수가오퍼레이션을 유발한다는 특징이 있다. 따라서 기존과는 다른 관점의 하드웨어 규모산정이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 교육 시스템의 적정한 하드웨어 규모산정을 위해 기존 지침의 개선방안을 제시한다. 본 논문의 결과는 향후 교육 시스템의 하드웨어 규모산정에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
