The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of product variables(i.e., fashionability, brand fame) and situational variables(i.e., time constraint, usage occasion) on the internet browsing behavior (i.e., prepurchase search; ongoing search for products, stores, fashion trends, promotions, and post-purchasing information) for fashion products. This study developed hypothetical scenarios based on the factorial design of the two independent variables for the survey with a questionnaire. All items in the questionnaire were measured on a six-point scale. By convenience sampling and on-line survey, a total of 209 usable responses were used for further analyses. The results show as follows; firstly, respondents more intensively browse for information search on products, stores and fashion trends when the style of browsing products is trendy. Secondly, whether the fashion products have a famous brand name or not has a significant influence on browsing behavior for stores and fashion trends information search. Thirdly, time constraint is found to influence significantly on respondents' browsing for promotions information search. Lastly, occasion for product worn shows a significant influence on browsing behavior for stores and fashion trends information search. The managerial implications are provided based on findings.

Safety accidents at industrial sites can occur anytime, anywhere. Recently, research on the industrial safety management system based on the IoT has been actively conducted. However, most of the studies are studies of actions after safety accidents or simply monitoring. In this paper, the safety equipment was introduced before safety accidents occurred, and the subjects could be managed not only by workers but also by visitors. Also, it implements a system to prevent the accident by detecting the user's motion and situation periodically before a safety accident occurs. The implemented system is a system that attaches the device for safety management to the hard hat and can identify the safety situation by using the Bluetooth beacon device attached to the user's smartphone and the industrial site.

It has been found that the incidence and mortality of COVID-19 are high in patients with underlying chronic diseases. Amid COVID-19 pandemic, tooth brushing is as important as hand washing for health care. The aim of this study was to identify factors related to the rate of tooth brushing and hand washing in hypertensive patients. We analyzed 62,762 hypertensive patients over the age of 40 from the Community Health Survey 2020. The practice rate of hand washing was higher among women, younger age, higher education level, mask wearers when going out, and tooth brushing practitioners after lunch. The hand washing practice rate was higher in hypertensive patients who practiced tooth brushing. In conclusion, there was the relationship between oral hygiene and personal quarantine. It is necessary to prepare sustainable measures to increase the practice rate of infectious disease prevention behaviors for patients with underlying chronic diseases who are susceptible to COVID-19.

The purposes of this study were 1) to classify wearing situation of male adolescents and 2) to classify self-image and CPI(Clothing Preference Image) of male adolescents and 3) to segment consumer group by self-image and to find the differences in self-image and CPI by situation among groups. For the data collection a questionnaire was distributed to male adolescents who were residents in Seoul and Taejeon. The statistics used for the data analysis were factor analysis, multiple dimensional scale, mean, percentage, peason-correlation, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, Duncan-test by the SPSSWIN program. The results of this study are as follows: 1) The self-image of male adolecents is categorized by seven factors; sophisticate and fashion conscious, active, practical and realistic, flank and pure, young-looking, feminine, and slender. Based on seven factors, the consumer group is categorized to five groups; practical and realistic Group1, young-looking and feminine Group2, characterless Group3, active Group4, sophisticate and flank Group5. 2) Wearing situations are divided into three categories; in downtown, in urban, at festival. In downtown, CPI are divided into six elements; ornamental, simplex, sexy, feminine, neat, young, and sophisticate. In urban, CPI are divided into five elements; ornamental, simple, sexy, feminine, young-looking, and sophisticate. At festival, CPI are divided into four elements; unique, simple, feminine, and formal. To conclude, the male adolescent consumers are categorized by self-image, and the different CPIs are sought by different wearing situations.

Mobile Virtual Reality Head Mount Displays such as Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR are being released, as well as PC-based VR HMDs such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. However, when the user wears HMD, it hides the external view of the user. Therefore, it may happen that the user is struck by the surrounding objects such as furniture, and there is no definite solution to this problem. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the risk of injuries by visualizing the location and information of obstacles scanned by using a RGB-D camera.

고립된 해상 작업 환경에서의 작업자의 건강상태 관리와 혹시 모를 추락탐지는 작업자의 안전을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고립공간 작업자의 안전을 모니터링하기 위한 헬멧에 부착할 수 있는 IoT 시스템을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이는 장치가 작업 중에 긴급 상황인지 신속하게 판단할 수 있다. 스마트폰은 누구나 들고 다니기 때문에 사용자 환경은 스마트폰을 이용하여 적용되었다. 작업자들이 착용할 용도이기 때문에 PPG 센서는 불편하지 않도록 귀에 부착한다. PPG 센서를 단독으로 사용하여 스트레스 정도를 파악한다. 3축 가속도 센서는 헬멧에 부착되고 추락을 감지하는데 사용된다. 우리는 여러 센서와 블루투스 통신을 이용하여 발전된 센서 시스템을 만든다. 또한, 우리는 3축 가속도 샘플을 분석하고 정규화하는 알고리즘을 JAVA에서 구현하였다. 스마트 폰을 사용하는 이점은 신호 처리를 위해 별도의 마이크로프로세서(mcu)가 필요하지 않으며 내부 통신 시스템을 통해 제어 센터에 정보를 전송할 수 있다는 것이다.
