The sensor nodes can be installed in the environment in which the temperature change is considerable, such as desert, urban, and data center. Particularly, because the output power becomes less than the targeted power if a temperature is increasing, link quality is degraded and packet losses are occurred. In order to compensate the temperature changes, existing schemes detect the change of the link quality between nodes and control transmission power through a series of feedback process. However, these approaches can cause heavy overhead by additional control packets. In this paper, we propose the T2PC(Temperature-aware Transmission Power Control) to keep up the link quality despite temperature variation. At each node, T2PC compensates the attenuated link quality by controlling the transmission power based on the local temperature measurement. In addition, the packet reception ratio can be improved with less control packets than ones required in existing transmission power control methods based on the feedback control.

최근 우리나라는 기후변화에 따른 태풍발생빈도 증가 및 이상강우, 유역내 토지이용의 고도화로 인한 유역특성 변화로 유역내 홍수량은 증가하고 홍수 도달시간이 짧아지는 양상을 보이고 있다. 이로 인해 홍수에 따른 치수방어 대책으로 하천의 제방축조 및 보강방법이 주로 채택되었으나, 최근에는 홍수시 직접적인 하천내 수위 저감을 위한 방안으로 하도내 저류효과를 확대하기 위한 보 설치 및 하도정비를 통한 하도준설을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 본류 하상저하에 따른 지류하천의 하상변동(두부침식)으로 하도내 세굴 침식에 의한 하천시설물 피해 사례가 늘게 되면서 과거 홍수에 의한 제방월류 피해에서 하상변동에 의한 하천시설물 붕괴로 하천피해 양상이 바뀌게 되었다. 이와 같은 피해를 방지하기 위해 지류하천 합류부에 하상변동 방지책으로 하상유지공을 설치하고 있지만 국내에는 이와 관련된 구체적 설계기준 및 연구가 미비하여 일선에서는 아직도 하천구조물의 용도가 다른 보나 낙차공의 설계기준을 준용하는 등 하상유지공 용도에 특성화된 설계기준(최적 위치선정 및 형식 등)이 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 감천(낙동강 지류하천)유역내 하도준설 및 홍수로 인한 하상유지공의 유실에 따른 지류하천의 피해사례를 통해 수치해석결과 및 실측자료를 바탕으로 하상유지공 계획의 중요성을 검증하고자 하였다. 또한 하도준설로 생성된 지류합류부의 단차구간에 안정성을 확보한 최적의 하상유지공 위치 및 형식 등을 선정 검토하고 설치 유 무에 따른 유수흐름 및 하상변화양상을 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 향후 하도굴착 및 하상유지공 계획시 고려해야할 사항(지형현황 및 수리특성 등)을 인지하고 극한상황에서도 안전한 하상유지공의 위치 및 형식 등을 선정하는데 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Furniture is an essential element in the area of human residence, and the necessity of system furniture suitable for the pursuit of unity in design, which clearly distinguishes the various and flexible arrangements and characteristics of space, is gradually expanding. The elderly population in Korea currently exceeds 15%, and is expected to be close to 40% by 2050. An increasing number of elderly generations are showing different behavioral patterns, such as sharing information, health care, and seeking independence from children. In order to maintain an independent daily life, a stable living environment has become essential, but as a result of a study that safety accidents caused by households increase due to a decrease in cognitive ability and physical ability, the need for a suitable household has increased. Therefore, the biological changes and characteristics of the elderly were investigated, and the concept definition, scope and limitations of system households were studied. In addition, by grasping the changes in the home appliance market and trends in the home appliance market, the design direction of system furniture required by the elderly was presented.

Background & objectives: Cognitive function decline is a main factor influencing the overall life of the elderly and places a burden of society. The aime of this study was to investigate the risk factors of cognitive function decline of elderly living alone and living with a spouse. Methods: This study used the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing from 2014 to 2018. 243 older adults who lived alone and 1,155 lived with a spouse with the Korean version of Mini Mental State Examination scores in normal range at the time of 2014 were included in the analysis. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the difference of risk factors affecting cognitive function decline between in elderly living alone and elderly living with a spouse. Results: Cognitive function decline incidence rate of elderly living alone was 30.5% and the elderly living with a spouse showed 23.0%. According to the results of logistic regression analysis, the risk factors of cognitive function decline in the elderly living alone was age and residential area, while in the elderly living with a spouse were age, education level, social networks, and depression. Conclusions: The factors that affect the cognitive function decline of the elderly living alone and the elderly living with a spouse were different. Accordingly, other measures to prevent cognitive decline are necessary.

In previous studies, stress in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) work environment was focused on lowering work performance by negatively affecting the emotions of organizational members. In the current corona pandemic era, as the ratio of organizational members working from home in a smart environment increases, the need for research on the effects of positive and negative stress on work performance is being raised. Accordingly, by applying the Affective Event Theory to the emotional effects of stress on employees' emotional responses, the effects on work performance were analyzed by dividing them into positive and negative emotions. Also, the effect of smart work on work performance was analyzed. This survey was commissioned by a research company and analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0 tool. Therefore, based on the research results, it was suggested that stress does not only negatively affect the emotions of employees, but that the challenge stress that appears in the mind to achieve a goal induces positive emotions in the employees' emotions and helps to improve work performance.

Power management is still an important issue in embedded environments as hardware advances like high-performance processors. Power management methods such as DVFS control CPU frequencies in an adaptive manner for efficient power management in polling-based I/O programs such as network communication. This paper presents the problems of the existing power management method and proposes a new power management method. Through this, it is possible to reduce electric consumption by increasing the polling cycle in situations where the frequency of data reception is low, and on the contrary, in situations where data reception is frequent, it can operate at the maximum frequency without performance degradation. After implementing this as a code layer on the embedded board and observing it through Atmel's Power Debugger, the proposed method showed a performance improvement of up to 30% in energy consumption compared to the existing power management method.

Older adults are at a high risk of falling, causing severe injuries and increased hospital stays and treatment costs. This can be a burden not only on the family but also on the national economy. Thus, fall prevention is very important in nurses' and nursing assistants' work. This study intended to grasp the real situation faced by nurses and nursing-assistants working at geriatric hospitals in J province, Korea. The researcher interviewed thirty-six nurses and nursing-assistants in four geriatric hospitals and performed four focus group interviews. Data were analyzed through an inductive content analysis based on Elo & Kyngäs's approach. Three categories and five subcategories were identified. Categories were patients, environmental, and personal factors. Patient factors included patients' impaired cognitive function. Environmental factors included lack of personnel support and assignment of inpatients without regard to fall risk. Personal factors included hopelessness regarding improvement and fear of being blamed. Promotion of fall prevention practice needs a gradual increase in nursing staff at geriatric hospitals, a system for assigning hospital room according to fall risk, and education and support system to reduce nursing burden.
