It seems that social distrust toward morality of video games has not been deducted even the influence of video game has increased drastically for last few decades. To rationalize the identity of video game and its social legitimacy, this paper first considered video game genre as a new art form. By doing so, we could derive various aesthetical and moral issues to dispute in modern society. Secondly, by considering former issues, this study could figure out moral vulnerabilities of the genre according to its own form, by categorizing them into virtual reality, interactivity and simulation. To suggest most effective way to overcome its immorality by functionalize social feedbacks which elaborately designed based on John Dewey's pragmatist aesthetics and immoralism.

This paper was studied in export policy Revitalization of SMEs mainly in various countries of Indochina, especially in Laos, which is emerging as a new market after China. Laos is a socialist country, but in 2014, led by the current active open-door policy, education, social, cultural and people-to-people exchanges are going briskly, light industry and the expansion of social infrastructure such as laying the foundation for economic development. This paper presents a plan to dominate the emerging frontier markets are public enterprises and government agencies that do not respond quickly. Already pioneered by building a network in local development staff for this purpose, such as volunteers, missionaries, professors and configure the network of exploitation and human development personnel look for Revitalization of SMEs in urban and regional growth.

This paper presents the design and implementation of Crystals-Kyber, a next-generation postquantum cryptography, as a hardware accelerator on an FPGA using High-Level Synthesis (HLS). We optimized the Crystals-Kyber algorithm using various directives provided by Vitis HLS, configured the AXI interface, and designed a hardware accelerator that can be implemented on an FPGA. Then, we used Vivado tool to design the IP block and implement it on the ZYNQ ZCU106 FPGA. Finally, the video was recorded and H.264 compressed with Python code in the PYNQ framework, and the video encryption and decryption were accelerated using Crystals-Kyber hardware accelerator implemented on the FPGA.

An AlGaN/GaN heterojunction-based hydrogen sensor with SnO₂ nanoparticles/Pd catalyst layer was fabricated for room-temperature hydrogen detection. The fabricated sensor exhibited unstable drift in standby current when it was operated at room temperature. The instability in the sensing signal was dramatically improved when the sensor was operated under UV illumination.

This paper presents a low-power flip-flop(FF) circuit that minimizes the transition of internal nodes by using a dual change-sensing method. The proposed dual change-sensing FF(DCSFF) shows the lowest dynamic power consumption among conventional FFs, when there is no input data transition. From the measured results with 65nm CMOS process, the power consumption has been reduced by 98% and 32%, when the data activity is 0% and 100%, respectively, compared to conventional transmission gate FF(TGFF). Further, compared to change-sensing FF(CSFF), the power consumption of proposed DCSFF is smaller by 30%.

With the recent development of Generative AI technology by IT giants, the size of the transformer model is increasing exponentially over trillion won. In order to continuously enable these AI services, it is essential to reduce the weight of the model. In this paper, we find a hardware-friendly structured pruning pattern and propose a lightweight method of the transformer model. Since compression proceeds by utilizing the characteristics of the model algorithm, the size of the model can be reduced and performance can be maintained as much as possible. Experiments show that the structured pruning proposed when pruning GPT-2 and BERT language models shows almost similar performance to fine-grained pruning even in highly sparse regions. This approach reduces model parameters by 80% and allows hardware acceleration in structured form with 0.003% accuracy loss compared to fine-tuned pruning.

When processing depthwise separable convolution, low utilization of processing elements (PEs) is one of the challenges of systolic array (SA). In this study, we propose a new SA architecture to maximize throughput in depthwise convolution. Moreover, the proposed SA performs subsequent pointwise convolution on the idle PEs during depthwise convolution computation to increase the utilization. After the computation, we utilize unused PEs to boost the remaining pointwise convolution. Consequently, the proposed 128x128 SA achieves a 4.05x and 1.75x speed improvement and reduces the energy consumption by 66.7 % and 25.4 %, respectively, compared to the basic SA and RiSA in MobileNetV3.

This paper discusses the design of bio-implanted ultra-low-power MICS RF transceivers for wireless sensor networks. The 400 MHz MICS standard was considered for the implementation of the WBAN wireless sensor system, indirectly minimizing radio propagation losses in the human body and the inference with surrounding networks. This paper includes link budget, various transmission and reception architectures for a system design and ultra-low power transceiver circuit techniques for the implementation of RF transceivers that meet MICS standards.

This paper presents a circuit design aimed at generating the required reference voltage and temperature sensor voltage in conjunction with an ADC, utilizing the current generated by temperature characteristics of BJT components for sensor data conversion. Additionally, two control methods are introduced to reduce the standard deviation of the circuit, resulting in over a ten-fold decrease in standard deviation. The proposed circuit occupies an area of 0.057mm² and was implemented using 55nm RF process.
