The daily number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) ranges between 1,000 and 2,000. Despite higher vaccination rates, the number of confirmed cases continues to increase. The Mu variant of COVID-19 reported in some countries by WHO has been identified in Korea. In this study, we predicted the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Korea using the SARIMA for the Covid-19 prevention strategy. Trends and seasonality were observed in the data, and the ADF Test and KPSS Test was used accordingly. Order determination of the SARIMA(p,d,q)(P, D, Q, S) model helped in extracting the values of p, d, q, P, D, and Q parameters. After deducing the p and q parameters using ACF and PACF, the data were transformed and schematized into stationary forms through difference, log transformation, and seasonality removal. If seasonality appears, first determine S, then SARIMA P, D, Q, and finally determine ARIMA p, d, q using ACF and PACF for the order excluding seasonality.

The purpose of this study was to examine the lecture satisfaction of radiological science majors in total remote classes due to coronavirus disease 2019, and influencing factors were analyzed. An online survey was conducted from September 1, 2020 to November 15, 2020, lecture satisfaction, teaching presence, academic motivation, self efficacy, behavior regulation and usage simplicity of remote classes for 458 3 and 4-year radiological science majors located in the Yeongnam area. Lecture satisfaction was significantly different according to grade, self-review time, and preferred teaching method. In addition, lecture satisfaction showed a significant positive corrleation with the teaching presence and usage simplicity of remote classes. In the multiple regression model, lecture satisfaction showed a significant explanatory power of 45.7% through usage simplicity, teaching presence, self efficacy and academic motivation. This study was attempted to provide basic data to increase the effect of remote classes at universities that are expected to expand in the post-corona.

Using webometric big data, this study examines the diversity of online information sources about the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, it focuses on some 28 countries where confirmed coronavirus cases occurred in February 2020. In the results, the online visibility of Australia, Canada, and Italy was the highest, based on their producing the most relevant information. There was a statistically significant correlation between the hit counts per country and the frequency of visiting the domains that act as information channels. Interestingly, Japan, China, and Singapore, which had a large number of confirmed cases at that time, were providing web data related to the novel coronavirus. Online sources were classified using an N-tuple helix model. The results showed that government agencies were the largest supplier of coronavirus information in cyberspace. Furthermore, the two-mode network technique revealed that media companies, university hospitals, and public healthcare centers had taken a positive attitude towards online circulation of coronavirus research and epidemic prevention information. However, semantic network analysis showed that health, school, home, and public had high centrality values. This means that people were concerned not only about personal prevention rules caused by the coronavirus outbreak, but also about response plans caused by life inconveniences and operational obstacles.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic on negative emotions, such as anxiety, depression, fear, and stress, in Korean college students. The study recruited students from J University and conducted interviews across three time points, namely, March 2019, March 2020, and November 2020. For three time points, the participants responded to structured questions about situations they may have encountered and they were asked to summarize their responses. Repeated-measures ANOVAs were performed to examine whether differences exist in negative emotions between time points. Furthermore, polynomial trend analyses were conducted to examine resultant patterns over time. The results revealed that negative emotions displayed significant differences between time points. Moreover, trend analyses revealed a curvilinear pattern, which indicates that negative emotions increased and were then sustained. These findings suggest that negative emotions may continue to become prevalent among college students with the increased impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The study discussed the need for psychological support systems, such as stress management and psychological counseling, for college students.

코로나바이러스감염증-19로 인한 팬데믹 상황이 지속되면서 감염증 정보의 불확실성으로 인해 코로나 관련 루머가 온라인상에서 빠르게 전파되고 있다. 이러한 코로나 관련 가짜 뉴스를 사전에 탐지하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 한국어 코로나 가짜 뉴스 데이터셋을 구축하고, 개체명과 사용자 재확산 정보를 이용한 한국어 가짜 뉴스 탐지 모델을 제안한다. 가짜 뉴스 팩트체킹 언론인 서울대팩트체크센터에서 코로나 관련 루머 및 가짜 뉴스에 대한 검증 기사를 수집한 후, 기사로부터 개체명 추출 모델을 통해 주제 키워드를 추출하고, 이를 이용해 유튜브 상의 사용자 재확산 정보를 수집하여 데이터셋을 구성하였다. BERT 기반의 제안 모델을 다양한 비교군과 비교하였고, 특성 조합에 따른 실험을 통해 각 특성 정보(기사 텍스트, 개체명 데이터, 유튜브 데이터)가 가짜 뉴스 탐지 성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.

This study attempted to identify the effects of stress caused by the COVID-19 epidemic on quality of life and the moderating effect of positive psychological capital. The study subjects were 180 adults, and data were collected from April 9 to April 15, 2020. For the collected data, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used using SPSS WIN 23.0 program. As a result of the study, stress caused by the COVID-19 epidemic affected quality of life, and positive psychological capital showed a significant moderating effect. Based on this study, a study is needed to develop a program to mediate a lower quality of life due to stress caused by the COVID-19 epidemic and to verify its effectiveness.

Purpose: Since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, various variants of concern have emerged. We divided the representative COVID-19 mutation period into four waves and aimed to analyze the clinical and laboratory features of children with COVID-19 from pre-mutation wave to the middle of omicron wave. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of hospitalized patients aged ≤19 years with laboratory confirmed COVID-19. Clinical and laboratory findings during pre-mutation (February 1st 2020 to September 30th 2020), alpha/beta (October 1st 2020 to May 31st 2021), delta (June 1st 2021 to October 31st 2021), and omicron (November 1st 2021 to May 31st 2022) waves were compared. Results: Among total 827 patients, 163 (19.7%) were asymptomatic, and the frequency of fever and cough was 320 (38.7%) and 399 (48.2%), respectively. The proportion of fever ≥38.5℃ was observed to be high during the omicron wave in the age group under 12 years. Lymphopenia was observed highly in the omicron wave in the age group under 12 years, and in the delta wave in the age group older than 12 years. Neutropenia was highly observed in the delta wave in the 0-4 years age group. Conclusions: There were distinct characteristics during all epidemic waves of COVID-19. Children with COVID-19 had more frequent persistent fever during delta wave and children during the omicron wave had a higher peak fever.

This study was conducted to investigate changes in dental visits in children and adolescents due to COVID-19. Based on the data provided by the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of dental visits among children and adolescents from January 2019 to August 2020, and the rate change according to Korean disease classification in 2019 and 2020 were analyzed by month and region. From January to August 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, the total number of visits to dental clinics and dental hospitals among children and adolescents decreased by 642,202 times (16.3%) in the 0 - 9 years old group, and 313,488 times (9.2%) in the 10 - 19 years old group. During the same period, the decreases due to Z29 (Need for other prophylactic measures) decreased by 118,219 times (34%) in the 0 - 9 years old group and 83,944 times (31%) in the 10 - 19 years old group, showing the greatest change. It is analyzed that overall dental service of children and adolescents has decreased due to COVID-19, and this may lead to deterioration of oral health of children and adolescents in the future, and this study can be used as a reference in case of an infectious disease such as COVID-19 in the future.
