Abdul Mateen Samsor 경희대학교 글로벌 통상·금융연구원 2021 International Trade, Politics and Development Vol.5 No.1

The aim of this study is to identify the challenges and barriers to e-Government set up in developing/conflict countries, related to Information Communication and Technology (ICT) and social obstacles – that are common in developing countries like Afghanistan. In today's world e-Government plays an important role of providing easy access to government services that enable citizens in general to communicate faster. This very research concentrates on the implementation of e-Government challenges in developing countries, particularly in Afghanistan. This paper is covering (1) method of study; (2) research strategy; (3) finding and policy recommendation; (4) limitation; (5) theoretical implication; (6) recommendation and conclusion. Additional data related to e-Government in Afghanistan, acquired via a quantitative survey and interviews can also help this analysis.This research incorporates both theoretical and empirical study; using both quantitative and qualitative method for data collection. Also, as already noted, the study reviews different literature and academic documents. The original work of the study is the collection of relevant first-hand information for empirical analysis from experts of both public and private institutions such as IT, CIO and management experts through the use of a survey tools. This was done using web-based surveying and delivery of hard and soft copies to the experts to obtain their notions about e-Government implementation obstacles. Finally, both quantitative and qualitative survey results are calculated and presented.Empirical study has established that 5 obstacles out of 15 named by respondents, stakeholder involvement, with the highest mean, (4.1145), coordination (4.0038), information sharing (3.9962), ICT literacy (3.9822) and e-Government awareness (3.8830) are considered to be the major obstacles. This opinion was also expressed by the respondents to the in-depth interview which was explained in a paper with detail.Most research record numerous limitations, therefore, it is important to note that this study is no exception. Some of the limitations were recorded in the course of the study will be counted for the purpose of placing the finding in the right perspective. The limitations of this study were time constraints and difficult to generate enough participation in the survey. Because of that, I did a quantitative survey but could include very few members of top management. Second, the study is limited due to the lack of participation by respondents from various sectors such as citizens, university students, academia, banks, businesses and NGOs. The third limitation was lack of research materials for this study. Many difficulties were encountered with respect to find materials of previous research studies on the topic and in particularly in the context of Afghanistan.The studies conducted previously on e-Government and referenced herein highlighted implementation challenges in developing countries as a group. Applying this study in Afghanistan may contribute to our understanding of key challenges facing in implementing e-Government process specifically in Afghanistan. The current study contributes some significant findings to the academic field of studying e-Government implementation challenges. It adds the support and information from public and private sector's perspective regarding major challenges in e-Government implementation in Afghanistan.As per looking to the experience of developed and developing countries, this study emphasizes the following key initiatives to be performed in parallel with the running projects by Ministry of communication and IT [18]. 1-Pilot projects, 2-Simplification of Business Processes, 3-A strong committed national leadership, 4-Involvement of Stakeholders, 6-To granting incentives for involvement of local ICT companies, 7-Exemption of basic ICT, 8-To develop a standard ICT infrastructureGovernments around the world are under the pressure from rapi...

Verification Algorithm for the Duplicate Verification Data with Multiple Verifiers and Multiple Verification Challenges

( Guangwei Xu ),( Miaolin Lai ),( Xiangyang Feng ),( Qiubo Huang ),( Xin Luo ),( Li Li ),( Shan Li ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2021 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.15 No.2

The cloud storage provides flexible data storage services for data owners to remotely outsource their data, and reduces data storage operations and management costs for data owners. These outsourced data bring data security concerns to the data owner due to malicious deletion or corruption by the cloud service provider. Data integrity verification is an important way to check outsourced data integrity. However, the existing data verification schemes only consider the case that a verifier launches multiple data verification challenges, and neglect the verification overhead of multiple data verification challenges launched by multiple verifiers at a similar time. In this case, the duplicate data in multiple challenges are verified repeatedly so that verification resources are consumed in vain. We propose a duplicate data verification algorithm based on multiple verifiers and multiple challenges to reduce the verification overhead. The algorithm dynamically schedules the multiple verifiers’ challenges based on verification time and the frequent itemsets of duplicate verification data in challenge sets by applying FP-Growth algorithm, and computes the batch proofs of frequent itemsets. Then the challenges are split into two parts, i.e., duplicate data and unique data according to the results of data extraction. Finally, the proofs of duplicate data and unique data are computed and combined to generate a complete proof of every original challenge. Theoretical analysis and experiment evaluation show that the algorithm reduces the verification cost and ensures the correctness of the data integrity verification by flexible batch data verification.

한국 세계시민교육 제공의 도전과제 : NGO 활동에 참여하는 초등 교사들의 인식 연구

강규원(Kyuwon Kang),김수정(Sujeong Kim) 국제개발협력학회 2018 국제개발협력연구 Vol.10 No.2

연구목적: 본 연구는 세계시민교육을 활발하게 제공하고 있는 초등학교 교사들이 인식하는 도전과제와 해결책을 탐구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구의 중요성: 국내에서 세계시민교육에 대한 관심과 지원이 증가하고 있음에도 불구하 고, 많은 교사들은 학교현장에서 세계시민교육을 제공함에 있어 어려움을 겪고 있다. 세계시민교육을 제공하는 교사들이 겪는 어려움을 일반적으로 다루는 선행연구들이 존재하 지만, 본 연구는 NGO 활동을 포함하여 세계시민교육 활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 초등 학교 교사들로 범위를 좁혔다. 초등학교 교사들을 연구대상으로 삼은 이유는 중·고등학교 교사들과 비교해 수업을 재구성할 수 있는 자유를 더 가지고 있고, 대학입시에 관한 부담이 덜하기 때문이다. 연구방법론: 설문지와 인터뷰를 함께 활용하는 순차적 혼합 방법을 사용하였다. 연구 대상인 8명의 초등학교 교사들에게 선행연구 분석 결과를 바탕으로 도출한 21개의 도전과 제들 각각에 대해 점수를 매기도록 하고 이를 기반으로 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 연구결과: 설문조사와 인터뷰 분석 결과 동료교사들의 인식·관심 부족, 산발적 지원체계, 세계시민교육 개념의 모호함이라는 세 가지 주요 도전과제가 도출되었다. 이 같은 어려움 들은 교사들의 내적 동기를 저해하고 세계시민교육 제공을 어렵게 하거나 꺼리게 만든다. 나아가 산발적인 지원체계는 세계시민교육의 효율성과 효과성을 떨어뜨리고 있다. 이들 도전과제의 원인을 제거하기 위해 가능한 해결책은 교사 업무부담의 감소, 세계시민교육을 교사교육 혹은 연수의 필수과정으로 설정하기, 세계시민교육의 개념을 명료하게 만들기 등이 있다. 또한 도전과제로 인한 어려움을 완화시키기 위한 해결책으로는 교사들이 세계시민교육에 관해 의논할 수 있는 장의 마련, 세계시민교육 정책 제안과 평가에 있어서 교사 참여 증가 등이 제시되었다. 결론 및 시사점: 본 연구의 결과는 교사들이 세계시민교육의 필요성에 대해 동의하고, 개념을 이해하며, 그들 스스로 세계시민이 되고자 할 때 세계시민교육의 요소들을 자발적으로 자신의 수업의 내용과 방식에 적용할 것임을 시사한다. Objectives: This study aims to explore the perceived challenges and solutions of the elementary school teachers who actively participate in GCED. Originality: Despite increasing attention and support on global citizenship education(GCED) in Korea, many teachers are facing difficulties in providing GCED at school. While there are studies that identified the challenges faced by teachers when providing GCED, this study focuses on elementary school teachers who are engaged in various GCED activities, including NGO activities, and have experiences in delivering GCED in their own schools. Also, elementary school teachers are selected as the research target because they have relatively more discretion to reorganize the curriculum and face less pressure from university entrance examinations compared to teachers in middle and high schools. Methods: This study uses an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach that employs both a questionnaire and interviews. We identified 21 possible challenges from previous relevant research and interviewed 8 teachers based on a questionnaire they completed. Results: Through analyzing results of the surveys and in-depth interviews, this study presents three major challenges: lack of awareness and interest of colleagues, fragmented support system, and ambiguity of the GCED concept. These challenges make teachers difficult to sustain their intrinsic motivation, and unable and unwilling to pursue GCED. Furthermore, fragmented support system results in inefficient and ineffective GCED. In order to remove the causes of these challenges, the possible solutions are reducing teachers’ workloads, making GCED a required course for teachers, and clarifying GCED concept. Furthermore, various solutions to alleviate the challenges, such as arranging a forum for teachers to discuss GCED and increasing teachers’ participation in proposing and evaluating GCED related policies and projects, etc. are suggested. Conclusions and Implications: The findings of the research suggest that when teachers agree that GCED is necessary, understand its concept, and become global citizens themselves, then they can voluntarily apply its elements to various subjects in terms of both educational content and methods in their classes.

Musa Midila Ahmed,Sukumar Letchmunan 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Software Engineering and Vol.9 No.6

SOSE is gaining recognition by both research communities and industries in recent times, however, its complete adoption is facing numerous challenges that require researchers to identify and overcome. Consequently, this paper embraces a systematic literature review to classify and analyze SOSE Challenges claimed in research communities from January 2009 to October 2014. First, the search string was applied to each selected database and the title, abstract and keywords of the potentially relevant primary studies were examined where 693 primary studies were found relevant. Then, the full texts of the 693 relevant studies were critically reviewed. As a result, 91 primary studies with 122 claimed SOSE challenges were identified and recorded. The results revealed quality of service (QOS) as the major SOSE Challenge, it is responsible for about 45% of the total SOSE challenges claimed for the period under review. Further investigation revealed Security as the main attribute responsible for placing QOS as the major SOSE challenge. It is recommended that research effort is required to improve the security of SOA applications. In addition, other areas that require research effort are Service provision and integration.

숏폼 광고 챌린지 특성이 광고 내 제품태도에 미치는 영향 - 참여의도의 매개효과를 중심으로 -

Khuukhee Munkhtsooj,정재현,김건하 한국소비문화학회 2023 소비문화연구 Vol.26 No.3

ICT 기술의 급속한 발전과 보급으로 소비자의 미디어 이용 행태가 변화하고 있으며, 그중에서도 숏폼(short- form)광고 시장이 상대적으로 크게 성장하고 있고 숏폼 광고 챌린지가 그 중심이 되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 숏폼 광고에 대한 기술적 특성에 대한 연구가 대부분으로, 숏폼 광고 챌린지에 대한 소비자의 참여 행동과 광고 효과에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구는 소비자의 숏폼 광고 챌린지 참여의도와 광고 효과를 명확히 밝히는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 숏폼 광고 챌린지의 특성을 독립변수로, 참여의도를 매개변수로 하여 종속변수인 광고 내 제품태도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 숏폼 광고 챌린지의 두 가지 특성(동작 매력성, 모방 용이성)은 모두 숏폼 광고 챌린지 참여의도를 매개하여 광고 내 제품태도에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 다만, 모방 용이성은 광고 내 제품태도에 직접적인 정(+)의 영향도 미쳤다. 조절 효과 분석에서는 자기표현 욕구가 높을수록 숏폼 광고 챌린지의 동작 매력성을 느낄 때 참여의도를 더 크게 느꼈다. 그리고 여성에 비해 남성이 숏폼 광고 챌린지의 모방 용이성을 느낄 때 광고 내 제품태도를 더욱 크게 느끼는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과가 숏폼 광고 챌린지의 활성화 및 숏폼 광고 산업의 발전을 위해 학술적 및 실무적 측면에서 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대한다. With the rapid development and widespread adoption of ICT technology, consumer media usage behavior is changing, and among them, the short-form advertising market is growing relatively large, with short-form advertising challenges at its core. However, most of the research on short-form advertising has focused on its technical characteristics, and there is a lack of research on the consumers participation behaviors and advertising effects of short-form advertising challenges. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clearly analyse consumer participation intentions and advertising effects of short-form advertising challenges. To this end, we analyzed the effect of short-form advertising challenge characteristics as independent variables and participation intention as a mediating variable on product attitudes in the ad as a dependent variable. The results of the analysis showed that the motion attractiveness had a significant positive effect on product attitudes via participation intention as a mediator, but did not have a direct significant effect on product attitudes. The imitation easiness had a significant positive effect on product attitudes via participation intention as a mediator and also had a direct significant positive effect on product attitudes. In the moderation analysis, it was found that the higher the self-expression desire, the greater the intention to participate when feeling the motion attractiveness of short-form advertising challenges. It was also confirmed that men feel product attitudes more strongly than women when feeling the imitation easiness of short-form advertising challenges. This study is expected to provide marketing implications for academic and practical aspects to activate short-form advertising challenges and promote the development of the short-form advertising industry.

Cluster Analysis of the Challenges of Teaching Korean to Immigrant Learners

Wonki Lee,Hojung Kim 서울대학교 언어교육원 2021 語學硏究 Vol.57 No.2

This study examined challenges Korean language teachers face in classroom teaching contexts, based on typologies derived from a cluster analysis. A total of 181 teachers teaching adult immigrants were surveyed on their challenges using a 24-item survey across the following five dimensions: (1) teaching contents and teaching methods, (2) curriculum design and resource development, (3) language ability assessment, (4) learner counseling, and (5) cultural education. The cluster analysis suggested a three-cluster pattern based on the degree of challenge. Results indicate that the clusters differed significantly in the degree and order of perceived challenges. In addition, when socio-demographic data were considered, results revealed contrasts in the motivation for pursuing professional development, teaching experiences, teaching region, and professional development experience. This study thus provides insight into the multifaceted challenges Korean language teachers face and holds important implications for future professional development.

Challenges in the Use of Targeted Therapies in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Joel Rivera-Concepcion,Dipesh Uprety,Alex A. Adjei 대한암학회 2022 Cancer Research and Treatment Vol.54 No.2

Precision oncology has fundamentally changed how we diagnose and treat cancer. In recent years, there has been a significant change in the management of patients with oncogene-addicted advanced-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increasing amounts of identifiable oncogene drivers have led to the development of molecularly targeted drugs. Undoubtedly, the future of thoracic oncology is shifting toward increased molecular testing and the use of targeted therapies. For the most part, these novel drugs have proven to be safe and effective. As with all great innovations, targeted therapies pose unique challenges. Drug toxicities, resistance, access, and costs are some of the expected obstacles that will need to be addressed. This review highlights some of the major challenges in the use of targeted therapies in NSCLC and provides guidance for the future strategies.

Parenting Issues for Immigrant Families : Challenges That Korean Immigrant Mothers Face

Lee, Soo-In 한국실천신학회 2020 신학과 실천 Vol.0 No.70

Parenting is challenging for parents in the mainstream society, and also particularly complicated and demanding for immigrant parents. Due to linguistic and cultural differences, immigrants must devote more time and energy to take root in new surroundings, leaving children with less attention and affection than they deserve. The purpose of this study is to explore the primary parenting challenges that Korean mothers experience in the United States, particularly in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. For this purpose, semi-structured one-on-one interviews were primarily utilized. Because of Covid-19, they were temporarily staying in Korea and both interviews were able to be conducted in Korea. The participants provided various concepts on parental challenges they faced in the United States. Those concepts related to the following core categories: acculturation, differences in parental practices, language barriers, and working mothers. From these four categories, socio-cultural differences and situational specialties have emerged as the primary themes of this study. From the study with two Korean immigrant mothers, the following hypotheses are proposed: 1) Cultural differences centered upon language barriers deeply affect Korean immigrant mothers’ parenting practices. 2) Korean immigrant mothers grapple with additional burdens because of their instabilities. Based on the data collected and analyzed in this study, the researcher could find that socio-cultural differences deeply affect Korean immigrant mothers’ parental practices. Among the socio-cultural differences between Korea and the United States, language barriers seem to be the most difficult challenges that the participants faced. Furthermore, the participants demonstrated that their parental practices in the United State were significantly influenced by their unstable status. This qualitative study provides the following implications for the Christian educators, church leaders, and many other Korean parents who are still struggling with parental challenges. First, the parental education of immigrant mothers can be an avenue for the improvement of their parental practices. Second, a Christian community can help suffering immigrant parents. Third, churches can provide some educational programs for the 1.5 and 2nd generations.

Career Counseling in Asian Countries:Historical Development, Current Status, Challenges, and Prospects

Younn Jung Gong,Chi Ping Deng,Darryl Takizoyagi,Takao Mimura,Mae Hyang Hwang,Dong Hyuck Lee 한국상담학회 2013 Journal of Asia Pacific counseling Vol.3 No.1

Career counseling development and practice are closely related to the cultural and economic backgrounds of a given country. In this study, career counseling in Asian countries is investigated in terms of historical development, current status in academic and community settings, challenges, and future prospects. The researchers who participated in this paper are from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Career counseling has rapidly expanded during the past decade in all three countries and the histories and current situations of career counseling share some commonalities as well as differ with some unique aspects. In this process, governments seem to have played a leading role in setting laws and regulations, developing and funding career and employment centers, and developing licensure or credential systems for career counseling professionals. The career counseling profession of these three countries faces similar opportunities and challenges. As a result, the role of career counseling professionals is more important and necessary than ever in the midst of rapidly changing work environments. Also, the active support from the governments of Korea, Japan, and Taiwan suggest a promising future for career counseling field to further develop. Challenges include increasing career counseling professionals` competency, developing individualized career services for diverse clientele, and developing empirically validated career interventions. The international collaboration seems to be beneficial for us to cope with common challenges.
