The present study aims to provide efficient regimen by means of the Oriental medicine tool to measure Yangseng developed to fit the situation of Korea. For this purpose, the elderly people aged older than 65 were selected and their level of Yangseng was compared and analyzed depending on their perception of health. From the study, following conclusions could be drawn: 1. The total subject of study were 763 consisting mostly of the illiterate and spoused with disease but without leisure activities. 2. Most of the subjects were found to have little confidence with their health. With regard to their level of Yangseng, higher points were rated in morality yangseng, followed by activities & rest, diet, mind yangseng, sleep, seasonal yangseng, exercise and sex life in order. 3. By socio-demographic characters for the group with confidence in health, there were more male than female, with spouse, disease and leisure activities currently. In the group without confidence in health, there were more female, without spouse and leisure activity but with disease presently. 4. As for the level of Yangseng in the group with confidence in health, higher points were recorded in morality yangseng, followed by activities & rest, mind yangseng, diet, sleep, exercise and sex life in order. In case of the group without confidence in health, higher points were recorded in morality yangseng, followed by activities & rest, diet, mind yangseng, sleep, exercise and sex life in order. From the above outcomes, it would be necessary to motivate the subjects to have a renewed concept for health and efficient regimen. Continued and repeated eforts should be made to fill the gap in the study using the tool to measure Yangseng of the elderly people.

Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease(CPPD) is a disease of the elderly and extremely rare in young individuals. If young people develop CPPD crystal deposition disease, it may be associated with metabolic diseases, such as hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypophosphatasia, hypomagnesemia, Wilson's disease, hypothyroidism, and gout. Materials and Methods: Therefore, in young-onset CPPD crystal deposition disease, an investigation of any predisposing metabolic conditions is warranted. Conclusion: We report a case of a young female patient who presented with idiopathic CPPD crystal deposition disease at 25 years of age.

The paper critically examines resource mobilization theories, frame theory, and new social movement theories, and proposes studies on the spatiality of the social movements as one potential to mitigate the limitation in these theories. The resource mobilization theories and the frame theory, the strategy-oriented approaches, lack contextual understandings of the origin of social movements. While new social movement theories provide macro-scale analysis and the structural explanations of the origins of social movements, they have covered limited geographical areas. The spatiality of social movements promotes deep understandings of local differences, and contexts in and through which grievances are constructed and collective actions are organized. Physical structures and symbolic representations of places are often created and utilized as social movement strategies. The spatiality of social movements can be a useful conceptual tool to explain the diversity and the dynamics of social movements.

A smart home provides services that its inhabitant needs or wants, by integrating and simultaneously controlling various devices and sensors. In this study, we focused on a smart-home system for people with disabilities and for elderly people. We introduced a new type of system for real-time analysis of body posture of the inhabitants of a smart home. The system includes the concept that offers remote healthcare or medical services by using a 3D tilt sensor for recognizing the static and dynamic postures of inhabitants in real time. It consists of a smart-home server and a 3D tilt sensor, and it uses wireless technology to communicate with the inhabitants and thus enhance their mobility. The smart-home server includes the inference engine that differentiates the dynamic postures from the static ones. Finally, we also demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed system by applying it to a real environment.

Background: The purpose of this study is to elucidate the context of medical experience and the perception of unmet healthcare of elderly people with chronic diseases based on in-depth interview data. Methods: We carried out in-depth interviews with 10 elderly people with chronic diseases using semi-structured questionnaires based on literature review. The in-depth interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis; one qualitative research methodology, three core meaning categories, and four attributes associated with unmet healthcare were ultimately derived. Results: The context of the medical experience were based on the following three categories: (1) discomfort due to diseases and high medical needs, (2) the poor community medical environment and difficulties in accessing to metropolitan medical institutions, and (3) inconvenience caused by long waiting time and side effects of medicine. In addition, the elderly with chronic disease realized the unmet healthcare as (1) the availability related to the desired medical institutions at the right time, (2) the affordability related to their economic capacity, (3) the effectiveness of the medical services they experienced, and (4) the appropriateness related to receiving medical services in a pleasant environment. Conclusion: The perception of unmet healthcare among the elderly with chronic disease is the result of interaction of multi-level and multi-dimensional factors related with their medical experience.

As science and technology develops, it is expected that more precise and various weapons will be used in a much more complicate future battlefield environment. C4I is a system that provides the proper and necessary information to commanders and their staffs to recognize the battlefield situation by connecting and visualizing the complex battlefield environment and various weapon systems together. Commanders and staffs perform battle command training based on a computer or paper map to better utilize the C4I system and Command Post eXercise(CPX) is a process of the training. This is the way for them to improve command control and decision making skills. Analyzing of line of sight(LOS), identifying communication fringe area, deploying troop strength, and determining unit maneuver are highly restricted under the 2D based CPX. In recent years, however, three-dimensional (3D) CPX simulators have been developed to overcome these drawbacks. In response to this trend, this paper proposes a multi-user based CPX simulator using augmented reality (AR) glass, which can be used as a practical war game simulator.

하천에서 수위는 가장 기본적인 수리 수문학적 자료로서, 홍수나 가뭄 등의 피해를 막기 위한 치수와 물을 잘 통하게 하거나 물을 이용하기 위한 이수에 주로 사용된다. 예를 들면, 댐, 보, 저수지 등의 하천시설물 설계 및 관리를 위해 수위를 이용하며, 유량 산정을 위해서 수위-유량 관계 곡선식을 구축하여 수위를 이용한다. 따라서 하천에서 수위는 현재 국내에서 수자원분야에서 사용되는 자료 중에서 가장 중요하며, 동시에 광범위하게 사용되고 있으므로 수위를 관측하는 것이 수자원의 기초라 할 수 있다. 수위 관측의 필요성과 확장 필요성에 대한 인식에도 불구하고, 국내의 수위 관측소는 한강, 낙동강, 금강 등 대하천 위주로 설치되어 있어, 중소규모 하천에서 발생하는 다양한 수문사상에 대한 분석 및 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 특히, 홍수의 경우 같은 강우 사상에도 대하천보다는 중소규모의 하천이 더 극단적으로 유출이 발생하기 때문에, 즉각적인 수위의 계측이 필요한 실정이다. 하지만 한정된 예산 및 인프라의 부족은 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측 시스템의 적용이 대하천에 비해 그 우선수위가 밀리는 원인이 되고 있으며, 지속적으로 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측시스템 적용에 대한 수요가 증가를 야기 시키고 있다. 최근, 과거에 제품을 만들기 위한 전자회로, 자재명세서, 기판도면 등의 정보를 공개하지 않는 폐쇄적인 환경을 벗어나 제품을 만들기 위한 하드웨어 정보를 공개하고, 공개된 정보를 통해 기술을 개발하기 위한 움직임이 활발하다. 이러한 개념을 오픈소스 하드웨어라는 개념으로서, 하드웨어의 제작 없이 간단한 코딩을 통해 하드웨어를 컨트롤 하는 기술이다. 즉, 오픈소스 하드웨어는 초소형화된 PC를 활용하여 센서를 작동하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 기존의 기술을 저렴한 가격으로 제품으로 생산할 수 있다. 또한 사물인터넷(IOT)를 활용하여 온라인 상에서 이러한 오픈소스 하드웨어를 컨트롤 할 수 있으며, 웹서비스와 결합할 경우 센서를 통해 수집된 결과를 인터넷 상에서 확인 할 수 있는 기술들이 지속적으로 개발하고 있다. 이러한 기술이 접목되면 과거에 비해 적은 비용으로 고효율의 자료 수집을 수행 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측시스템 적용에 대한 수요를 해결하기 위해서 기존의 시스템이 가지고 있는 경제적, 기술적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 오픈소스 하드웨어 플랫폼인 아두이노와 사물인터넷 기반 기술을 활용하기 위한 웹서비스를 이용하여 실시간 수위 관측기술을 개발하고, 적용성을 검토하고자 한다.

We are facing an era of automation where artificial intelligence works and an era of super-aging, where birth is rapidly declining. In this paper, we intend to perform the creation of an autobiography in conjunction with the generation integrated narrative storytelling, thereby exploring the potential for visual storytelling that can be extended to a variety of media format. The visual autobiography production program confirmed through an interview with the production participants that grandparents, grandchildren and granddaughter together became the main characters in the documentary, a valuable opportunity to reflect on their past memories and lives and recognize their meaning of life. The visual storytelling education program model and media life service presented in this paper will be shared by the youth and the elderly generation together and contribute to the 'sympathetic culture' as a social integration program.
