This paper examines discussions surrounding cognitive liberty, neuro-privacy, and mental integrity from the perspective of Neuro-rights. The right to control one's neurological data entails self-determination of collection and usage of one's data, and the right to object to any way such data may be employed to negatively impact oneself. As innovations in neurotechnologies bear benefits and downsides, a novel concept of the neuro-rights has been suggested to protect individual liberty and rights. In Oct. 2020, the Chilean Senate presented the 'Proyecto de ley sobre neuroderechos' to promote the recognition and protection of neuro-rights. This new bill defines all data obtained from the brain as neuronal data and outlaws the commerce of this data. Neurotechnology, especially when paired with big data and artificial intelligence, has the potential to turn one's neurological state into data. The possibility of inferring one's intent, preferences, personality, memory, emotions, and so on, poses harm to individual liberty and rights. However, the collection and use of neural data may outpace legislative innovation in the near future. Legal protection of neural data and the rights of its subject must be established in a comprehensive way, to adapt to the evolving data economy and technical environment.

전자의무기록(Electronic Medical Record, EMR) 시스템은 기존에 수기로 작성하던 의무기록을 디지털화 한 것이다. 이는 다양한 장점이 있지만 의료인이 관리 도메인을 통해 환자의 정보를 세밀하게 수집할 수 있는 환자 개인의 프라이버시 침해 문제가 발생하게 된다. 즉, 관계자에 의해 의도적인 유출이 발생하거나 의료정보의 거래, 복제 등 위험성이 존재한다. 특히 일부 의료정보는 고용 차별이나 사회적 차별 등 환자에게 정신적 고통을 안겨줄 수 있다. 이러한 프라이버시 침해는 유전성 질환 유전자를 가진 사람에게 유전적 요인에 근거하는 고용 차별이 발생할 수 있다. 관련연구에서는 환자의 임상적(Clinical) 또는 유전적(Genomic) 정보가 자신의 신원과 연계되어 있다면 프라이버시 침해가 발생할 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이러한 프라이버시 문제로 인해 EMR 시스템에 기반을 둔 전자건강기록(Electronic Health Record, EHR) 시스템 또한 개인 프라이버시 침해의 위험이 존재하게 된다. 따라서 의료정보의 프라이버시 보호를 위해 부당한 고용 차별 보험 차별 사회적 차별로 연결될 수 있는 개인 의료정보의 유출방지, 타인에게 알려지고 싶지 않은 개인 의료정보가 무단으로 거래되지 않는 것을 보장해야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 의무기록의 익명화를 통해 환자와 의무기록 간의 관계를 제거하는 여러 방법들을 소개한다.

To ensure a user-centered treatment environment, hospital construction needs an approach that is not centered on functional aspects such as efficiency or economic feasibility but on the consideration of needs as reflected in user psychology and behavior. Patients who are physically and psychologically vulnerable experience psychological pressure when they are placed in an unfamiliar environment. Most of existing studies however focus on the evaluation of the physical environment, without paying attention to the psychological or behavioral approach to anxiety and stress that patients may experience in a special environment that a hospital may be to them. This study examines general hospital inpatients to understand the usage of major space available and their satisfaction with privacy. This study provides useful primary information needed for the user-centered design of general hospital for improved patient health and welfare. For the purpose of the study, literature review, site investigation, and survey were conducted. Major functional space and privacy in general hospitals were studied, and the site investigation was performed to identify the plans and their status. Survey was also performed to understand the usage of functional space and satisfaction with such space usage as well as satisfaction with privacy. The findings were as follows: (1) Space usage was rated as average in general. It was found that patients used their rooms and lobby on a daily basis. By age, the usage was highest in the group in their 40s; the usage was relatively lower in the groups in their 30s or younger. (2) Space satisfaction was above average, indicating that patients were fairly satisfied. Satisfaction was highest in the lobby space designed with distinct features. By case, satisfaction was highest in Case B, characterized by its wide horizontal space in the rural settings. (3) Satisfaction with privacy in hospital was average, indicating that the demand for privacy was relatively higher but what patients receive in return was lower than their expectation. It was also found that satisfaction with privacy was a crucial element that affected the overall satisfaction with hospital.

본 논문에서는 바이오인식 정보 기술(얼굴, 정맥, 지문, 홍채)을 이용하여 신뢰성 있는 Ubiquitous-Healthcare(U-HC) 서비스를 지원하는 사용자 인종 메커니즘과 암호화 기법을 제안한다. U-HC 서비스에 태동 및 특징, 국내외 산업현황, 기대효과 등을 통해 U-HC서비스의 필요성을 강조하고 있다. 하지만 지능화 및 고도화된 기술을 통하여 개인 정보를 악의적인 의도로 유출하여 개인에게 육체적 정신적 경제적 피해를 주고 있다. 바이오인식은 이러한 피해를 막고 보안 및 프라이버시 측면의 취약점 및 공격들을 분석하여 효율적으로 방어함으로서 개인의 의료정보 및 바이오 정보를 보호하기 위한 대응책인 새로운 사용자 인증과 암호화 기법이다. 사용자 인증 기법은 다수의 바이오 정보들을 인증 시에 무작위로 선택하여 2개 이상 입력하는 방안이며 암호화 기법은 사용자 스토리(Story)식 암호화(Encryption) 기법을 제안한다. 이러한 방법론을 통하여 효율적이며 신뢰 성 있는 U-HC 서비스를 보장하고자 한다.

With the advent of the so-called Web 2.0 age, the interconnections of various contents on the web, as well as the user-participatory services from blogs, web-based communities, picture sharing sites, and social networking sites, to the sites for collective knowledge productions, have been further vitalized. As the User Generated Contents(UGCs) are flourishing on the web, they have channeled users' desires for self-expression and social acknowledgement, and yet have created the new kinds of invasion of privacy. This study attempts to look at how the networked individuals' everyday perceptions of privacy have been reconstructed in the age of Web 2.0. By investigating how users have used the UGCs for their sociality on the web and how they have set the boundaries of the private and the public in these public or semi-public disclosures of self-expressions, it has traced the changing perceptions of privacy in everyday communication practices. For this study, it has interviewed Korean youngsters in their 10s and 20s who have grown up with the Internet and have received self-expressions and social communication on the web as everyday activities. Based on their interviews, it inquires into the concurrent notion of privacy and discuss its cultural implications.

Continuous use of SNS with having SNS fatigue influences users mentally as well as physically. Although it is reported that they eventually leave SNS due to experience of fatigue, the determinants of SNS fatigue have not been discovered yet. Thus this study aims to find the psychological factors causing SNS fatigue. This study (1) found out the factors causing SNS fatigue, and (2) explored the relationships between the factors and intentions to discontinue/continue to use SNS. Findings of the study suggested that there are seven types of determinants: Sense of relative deprivation, Relationship concern, Management burden, Information overload, Privacy concern, Reputation concern(after posting), Reputation concern(before posting). It is also found that sense of relative deprivation negatively predicted the intention to keep using SNS while management burden, reputation concern(before posting) predicted positively. Furthermore, the sense of relative deprivation and information overload positively predicted the intention to discontinue using SNS while reputation concern(before posting) predicted negatively. This research examined how the determinants of SNS fatigue affect the intentions to keep/stop using SNS from the two different points of view. The determinants of SNS fatigue experienced by SNS viewers influenced them to have intentions to stop using it, whereas those felt by SNS writers affected them to keep using it.
