This study investigates the interference of politics of regional cleavage in the redistricting for national assembly election and its effects on gerrymandering and malapportionment. Since the Constitutional Assembly election, the argument about gerrymandering and malapportionment continues and the single-member election district with simple plurality system in Korea has aggravated the problem of cleavage and unfairness. Especially, redistrictings for national assembly election in 2008 and 2012 are suspected of gerrymandering by Saenuri party and Democratic United party. Yeongnam region where Saenuri party is dominant and Honam region where Democratic United party is, are over-represented compared to population, while the districts in Gyeonggi-do are under-represented and the need for increasing the number of districts has been ignored. These redistrictings might come from unfair and collusive interference of politics of regional cleavage, and consequently malapportionment has been brought about.

This article attempts to provide an overview of the exit polls for the 2006 local elections in Korea. The sampling method, sampling error, non-response rate, and prediction error of the exit polls are reviewed. Also, we explore the fact that the propensity to vote varies according to age and gender of voters. In terms of age and gender, the representativeness of the sample is investigated by comparing to the data released by the National Election Commission. Through this empirical research, we show that the exit poll samples are unbalanced in terms of age and this unbalance may be one of the causes of bias occurred in the prediction of the 2006 local election results. The design effects of the sample design implemented for the exit polls are also examined.

This paper presents a vote decision-based deinterlacing scheme for false directional error correction(VDD) to convert interlaced signal into non-interlaced signal using only one fields. The VDD using the vote decision goes through four steps process. The first step extracts regions having doubt of false edge using MM-ELA method. In these regions, the edge direction is decided by the majority vote using upper adjacent pixels's information through the second step. But, we still have undecided directions, which will be decided by the majority vote and the directional average decision at the third step. This step preserves the edge directions and minimizes visual degradation. Finally, the last step interpolates undecided pixels using DOI method which can consider the fine edge direction. Although the VDD with hierarchical structure has a high complexity, it can extract delicate edge compared to other pixel-by-pixel or window-by-window deinterlacing algorithms. Simulation results show that it has significantly improved both the subjective and objective qualities of the reconstructed images.

Sensor nodes are easily compromised by attacker when which are divided in open environment. The attacker may inject false report and false vote attack through compromised sensor node. These attacks interrupt to transmission legitimate report or the energy of sensor node is exhausted. PVFS are proposed by Li and Wu for countermeasure in two attacks. The scheme use inefficiency to energy of sensor node as fixed report threshold and verification node. In this paper, our propose the next neighbor node selection scheme based on fuzzy logic system for energy improvement of PVFS. The parameter of fuzzy logic system are energy, hops, verification success count, CH select high the next neighbor node among neighbor nodes of two as deduction based on fuzzy logic system. In the experimental, our proposed scheme was improvement to energy of about 9% compare to PVFS.

Many areas of human activities are computerized with the wide spread use of computers and communication networks.Electrinic voting is an important social activity in democtatic society.The realization of electronic democracy is based on the sectrity of edectronic voting scheme.Therefore, it is necessary to use the cryto-graphic technique for secure electronic voting scheme.Therefore, it is necessary to use the cryto-graghic technique for secure election.In this stusy, an dedctronic voting scheme sutiable for large election is proposed.In order to make practi-cal volting scheme, we assume that the voting authorization center is trustful and the chaum's anonymous com-munication channel[6] prepared before the election day.The center authorizes the ballot of eligible voter by using the ID based digital signature scheme in the registeation stage.During the voting stage, undeniable chal-lenge/ response prorocol is performed between the center and the boters to ensure that the intemediate voting results should not affect the entire.The proprsed scheme fully conforms to the requirments of large scale election such as privacy of the voters, fairness, unresuability, unforgeability and eligbility.

As the voting age has been lowered to 18 from the 21st general election on April 15, 2020, the use of political news, motivation for political interest, and reliability of political media of first-time voters were examined. Accordingly, we analyzed how their political efficacy affects their voting intentions. As a result of the study through the survey of participants, the use of political news by voters was to acquire political information mainly through TV and portals. And the use of traditional media such as radio and newspaper was low. first voters became interested in politics through articles delivered by the media, and it was found that they trusted the political information provided through terrestrial TV reports and debates. This generation also confirmed that if they have higher political efficacy, they show higher willingness to participate in voting. Through this study, in order to increase the political participation of the younger generation who are evaluated as having relatively low interest in politics, the role of the media was reconfirmed as the most important factor.

공정하고 투명한 선거를 이루기 위해서는 비밀성(privacy), 선거권(eligibiligy) 등과 더불어 전체검증(universally verifiability)과 매표방지(receipt-freeness) 속성이 반드시 제공되어야 한다. 그러나 전체검증은 누구나 투표내용을 확인할 수 있는 방법을 제공하는 것이고 매표방지는 투표내용과 투표자를 연결할 수 있는 방법을 차단하는 것으로 두가지 특성은 상호표리적 관계에 있어서 두가지 특성을 동시에 만족시키기가 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 신뢰할 수 있는 제3자인 정직한 랜덤마이저(Honest Randomizer, HR)와 최소한의 물리적 가정인 HR에서 유권자로 가는 도청 불가능한 채널(untappable channel)을 이용하여 전체검증과 매표방지를 제공하는 효율적인 전자선거 기법을 제안한다.

센서 네트워크에서 센서는 제한적인 자원 때문에 다양한 공격으로부터 취약하다. 이러한 공격 중 하나인 허위 보고서 삽입 공격은 불필요한 에너지 소모와 허위 알람을 유발한다. 이 공격의 피해를 줄이기 위한 확률적 투표 여과 기법은 검증 노드를 통해 보고서의 맥들을 검증한다. 그러나 허위 보고서가 검증 노드까지 도달하는 데 불필요한 에너지가 소비된다. 본 논문에서, 우리의 제안 기법은 소스의 다음 노드에 키를 배포하여 허위 보고서 삽입 공격을 효율적으로 감지한다. 따라서 제안 기법은 기존 기법보다 에너지 효율성 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

오프라인 필기체 숫자 인식에서 다양한 변형을 잘 흡수 할 수 있는 효율적인 특징을 찾는 것은 중요한 일이며, 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 다양한 단일특징들을 구현 하였으며, 단일 특징만으로는 만족 할 만한 성능을 기대하기 어렵기 때문에 다양한 단일 특징을 복합특징으로 구성하였다. 또한 오프라인 필기체 숫자인식에서 좋은 성능을 발휘하는 것으로 알려진 신경회로망으로 학습을 하였으며, 인식의 성능을 개선시키기 위해 효과적인 특징을 조합하여 하나의 단일 신경회로망들을 구성하고 그것을 다시 복합신경회로망으로 구성하여 성능을 실험 함으로서 성능의 향상을 볼 수 있었고, 신경회로망에 더하여 성능을 개선시키기 위해 신경회로망을 보완 할 수 있는 다수결 투표 방법을 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 신경회로망의 인식 결과를 비교 분석하여 최적의 특징을 찾아 낸 결과를 2차 다수결 투표를 사용하여 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식의 성능을 검증하기 위해서 Concorida 대학교의 CENPARIMI 숫자 데이터 베이스를 가지고 인식을 수행 하였으며. 그 결과 97.40%의 정인식률과 0.75%의 오인식률 그리고 1.85%의 거부률을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose an electronic election protocol based on VIOT protocol which utilizes public key cryptographic system and blind signature method to meet the seccurity requirement in election systems. Our proposed electronic election protocol provide voter's privacy and non-repudiation functionality which detect any misdemeanors of voters or relevant personnels.
