It is essential for health monitoring of a cable-stayed bridge to provide more accurate and enough information from the sensors. In experimental modal testing, the chosen measurement locations and the number of measurements have a major influence on the quality of the results. The choice is often difficult for complex structures like a cable-stayed bridge. It is extremely important a cable-stayed bridge to minimize the number of sensing operations required to monitor the structural system. In order to obtain the desired accuracy for the structural test, several issues must take into consideration. Two important issues are the number and location of response sensors. There are usually several alternative locations where different sensors can be located. On the other hand, the number of sensors might be limited due to economic constraints. Therefore, techniques such as methodologies, algorithms etc., which address the issue of limited instrumentation and its effects on resolution and accuracy in health monitoring systems are paramount to a damage diagnosis approach. This paper discusses an optimum sensor placement criterion suitable to the identification of structural damage for continuous health monitoring. A Kinetic Energy optimization technique and an Effective Independence Method are analyzed and numerical and theoretical issues are addressed for a cable-stayed bridge. Its application to a cable-stayed bridge is discussed to optimize the sensor placement for identification and control purposes.

Purpose: In Japan, the Long-Term Care Insurance Act has stipulated visiting rehabilitation since 2000. This study aimed to identify the actual conditions of visiting rehabilitation in Japan through a literature review of reports published by the Japanese government. Methods: This literature review was conducted on eight articles among various government reports on the topic of the actual conditions of visiting rehabilitation. These reports were published by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan based on their own investigations or reports from an external agency entrusted with the task, and were issued between 2000 and 2021. Results: The characteristics of the visiting rehabilitation offices, their number, manpower allocation, the number of users, and their visits to each office were identified. Also, the characteristics of the users, number of users, age and required degree of long-term care, causative disease, and required medical care were identified. To evaluate the actual status of the visiting rehabilitation service, the service use time, frequency, period of use, intervention by doctors and the degree of such intervention, therapist's service content, visitors' address before the use of the service, reason, and timing of the service introduction, evaluation of the service effectiveness, combination of services and transfer destination after termination, and status after service termination were checked. Conclusion: Based on the Japanese experience where visiting rehabilitation was introduced and applied to long-term care insurance, it would be meaningful to review the factors that required benchmarking among the Japanese service models while designing a similar model in Korea.

As demands for the maritime communications increase, a variety of functions and information are required to exchange via elements of maritime systems, which leads communication traffic increases in maritime frequency bands, especially in VHF (Very High Frequency) band. Thus, effective resource management is crucial to the future maritime communication systems not only to the typical terrestrial communication systems. VHF data exchange system (VDES) enables to utilize more flexible configuration according to the communication condition. This paper focuses on the VDES communication system among VDES terminals such as shore stations, ship stations and aids to navigation (AtoN) to address efficient resource allocation. We propose a resource management method considering a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technique in VDES, which has been widely used for modern terrestrial wireless networks but not for marine environments by scheduling the essential communication resources. We introduce the general channel model in marine environment and give two metrics, spectral and the energy efficiencies to examine our resource scheduling algorithm. Based on the simulation results and analysis, the proposed method provides a possibility to enhance spectral and energy efficiencies. Additionally, we present a trade-off relationship between spectral and energy efficiencies. Furthermore, we examine the resource efficiencies related to the imperfect channel estimation.

We propose a probabilistic fish growth model for smart aquaculture systems equipped with IoT sensors that monitor the ecological environment. As IoT sensors permeate into smart aquaculture systems, environmental data such as oxygen level and temperature are collected frequently and automatically. However, there still exists data on fish weight, tank allocation, and other factors that are collected less frequently and manually by human workers due to technological limitations. Unlike sensor data, human-collected data are hard to obtain and are prone to poor quality due to missing data and reading errors. In a situation where different types of data are mixed, it becomes challenging to develop an effective fish growth model. This study explores the unique characteristics of such a combined environmental and weight dataset. To address these characteristics, we develop a preprocessing method and a probabilistic fish growth model using mixed data sampling (MIDAS) and overlapping mixtures of Gaussian processes (OMGP). We modify the OMGP to be applicable to prediction by setting a proper prior distribution that utilizes the characteristic that the ratio of fish groups does not significantly change as they grow. We conduct a numerical study using the eel dataset collected from a real smart aquaculture system, which reveals the promising performance of our model.

For successfully commercialized grid systems, it is required to provide an efficient scheduling scheme which is able to optimize benefits for three participants such as consumers, brokers, and providers so that every participant has sufficient benefit to maintain a sustainable market. In this paper, we define this job scheduling problem as an objective optimization problem for three participants. The three objectives are to maximize the success rate of job execution, total achieved profit, and the system utilization. To address the scheduling problem, we propose heuristics referred to as SLA-aware scheduling scheme (SA) for optimal resource allocation. The simulation results show that the improvement and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and the proposed scheme can outperform well-known scheduling schemes such as first come first serve (FCFS), shortest job first (SJF), and earliest deadline first (EDF).

This study conducts an in-depth analysis of user reviews from three leading metaverse platforms - Minecraft, Roblox, and Zepeto - using advanced topic modeling techniques to uncover key factors for business success. By examining a substantial dataset of user feedback, we identified and categorized the main themes and concerns expressed by users. Our analysis revealed that common issues across all platforms include technical functionality problems, user engagement and interest, payment concerns, and connection difficulties. Specifically, Minecraft users highlighted the importance of adventure and creativity, Roblox users expressed significant concerns about security and fraud, and Zepeto users focused heavily on the fairness of the in-game economy. The findings suggest that for metaverse platforms to achieve sustained success, they must prioritize the resolution of technical issues, enhance features that foster user engagement, ensure reliable connectivity, and address platform-specific concerns such as security for Roblox and payment fairness for Zepeto. These insights provide valuable guidance for developers and business strategists, emphasizing the need for robust technical infrastructure, engaging and diverse content, seamless user access, and transparent and fair economic systems. By addressing these key areas, metaverse platforms can improve user satisfaction, build a loyal user base, and secure long-term success in an increasingly competitive market.

현재 육상에서는 유무선 통신의 발전으로 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공받고 있다. 이러한 변화는 육상을 넘어서서 해상에서 항해 중인 선박에서도 다양한 IT 서비스가 제공되어야 하며 육상에서 이용하는 것과 마찬가지로 양방향 디지털 데이터 전송, Web, App 등과 같은 다양한 IT 서비스들의 제공에 대한 요구가 증가될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 초고속 정보통신망은 AP(Access Point)와 기지국과 같은 고정된 기반 구조를 바탕으로 네트워크를 구성하는 지상에서는 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 반면 해상에서는 고정된 기반 구조를 이용하여 네트워크를 구성할 수 없다. 그래서 전송 거리가 긴 라디오 통신망 기반의 음성 위주의 통신 서비스를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 라디오 통신망은 낮은 전송 속도로 인해 매우 기본적인 정보만을 제공할 수 있었으며, 효율적인 서비스 제공에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 디지털 데이터 상호교환을 위한 추가적인 주파수가 할당되었으며 이 주파수를 사용하여 활용할 수 있는 선박 애드 혹 네트워크인 SANET(ship ad-hoc network)이 제안되었다. SANET은 높은 설치비용과 사용료의 위성 통신을 대신하여 해상에서 IP 기반으로 선박에 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 개발되었다. SANET에서는 육상 기지국과 선박의 연결성이 중요하다. 이러한 연결성을 갖기 위해서는 선박은 자신의 IP 주소를 할당 받아 네트워크의 구성원이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 선박 스스로 자신의 IP 주소를 할당 받을 수 있는 SANET-CC(Ship Ad-hoc Network-Cell Connection) 프로토콜을 제안한다. SANET-CC는 중복되지 않는 다수의 IP 주소들을 육상기지국에서 선박들에 이어지는 트리 형태로 네트워크 전반에 전파한다. 선박은 IP 주소를 할당할 수 있는 육상 기지국 또는 나누어진 구역의 M-Ship(Mother Ship)들과 간단한 요청(Request) 및 응답(Response) 메시지 교환을 통해 자신의 IP 주소를 할당한다. 따라서 SANET-CC는 IP 충돌 방지(Duplicate Address Detection) 과정과 선박의 이동에 의해 발생하는 네트워크의 분리나 통합에 따른 처리 과정을 완전히 배제할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SANET-CC의 SANET 적용가능성을 검증하기 위해서 다양한 조건의 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 기존 연구와 비교 분석을 진행하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 팀제가 팀임파워먼트에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 있다. KBS 팀제에서 구성원들을 임파워먼트 시키는데 걸림돌이 되는 여건이나 심리적 상태들을 파악하여 조직의 임파워먼트를 어떻게 실현할 것인가에 대한 시사점을 제시하는데 있다. 횡단적 연구를 위하여 국내외 문헌을 조사하고 KBS 내에서 회수한 설문결과와 개인면담, 그리고 관찰의견을 종합하여 검토하였다. 설문지는 460부를 SPSS 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 팀제에 대한 부정적인 응답자가 24.2%p가 즐어들었고 긍정적인 응답자는 1.29%p가 줄어들었다. 이는 부정적인 평가를 하던 구성원들이 긍정적인 평가자로 전환되어 팀제에 대한 이해가 확산된다는 측면에서 발전적이라 할 수 있으나, 문제점에 대한 지속적 해결노력이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다 하겠다. 둘째, 임파워먼트는 개인과 조직차원에서 생산성을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 팀 임파워먼트를 높이기 위해서는 경영진이 변혁적 리더십을 발휘해야 하고, 낮게 나타난 경영진과 조직구성원 사이에 신뢰가 무엇보다 먼저 향상되어야 할 것이다. 셋째, 모든 본부와 직급에서 업무기피자에 대한 부담이 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 전체 팀원에게 고른 업무분담이 되고 있지 못하다는 것을 뜻한다. 그리고 구성원들은 회사의 평가보상시스템을 깊게 신뢰하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 팀의 규모와 업무배정에 좀 더 세심한 배려가 필요하고 평가보상 체계에 사각지대가 생기지 않도록 현행 평가 제도를 보완하여야 할 것이다.

인터넷에 연결된 호스트의 개수가 대폭 증가해 1984년 도메인 네임 시스템(Domain Name System, 이하 DNS)이 도입되었다. DNS는 웹 사이트를 검색할 때, 일련의 숫자로 이루어진 복잡한 IP 주소를 외우지 않고 편리성이 높은 문자 형태의 주소를 사용할 수 있게 함으로써 현재 인터넷을 이용하는 모든 사용자에게 중요한 핵심 요소로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 DNS의 중요성에 비해 권한 할당 문제, 공인 등록 관련 분쟁, DNS 캐시 포이즈닝(DNS Cache Poisoning), DNS 스푸핑(DNS Spoofing), 중간자 공격(Man-in-the-Middle Attack), DNS 증폭 공격(DNS Amplification Attack)과 같은 각종 보안 취약점, 초연결 네트워크 시대의 더 많은 도메인 네임의 필요성 등 많은 문제점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 DNS가 가지는 이러한 문제점을 효과적으로 개선하고자 분산원장기술인 블록체인을 이용해 DNS를 구현하는 법을 제안하고, 이더리움 기반의 플랫폼을 이용해 구현하였다. 추가적으로 기존의 도메인 네임 등록 및 도메인 네임 서버의 정성적 성능 비교 평가를 하고, 제안하는 시스템이 기존 DNS의 보안 문제점을 개선할 수 있는지 보안 평가를 하였다. 결론적으로 블록체인을 이용해 더 안전하고 효율적으로 DNS 서비스를 제공할 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

Purpose: This study purposed to analyze the spatial accessibility of mental health institutions in Ganwon-Do using Geographic Information System and to suggest policy implications. Methodology: Network analysis was applied to assess the spatial accessibility of mental health institutions in Gangwon-Do. To perform the network analysis, network data set was built using administrative district map, road network, address of mental health institutions in Gangwon-Do. After building network data set, Two network analysis methods, 1) Service area analysis, 2) Origin Destination cost matrix were applied. Service area analysis calculated accessive areas that were within specified time. And using Origin Destination cost matrix, travel time and road travel distance were calculated between centroids of Eup, Myeon, Dong and the nearest mental health institutions. Result: After the service area analysis, it is estimated that 19.63% of the total areas in Gangwon-Do takes more than 60 minutes to get to clinic institutions. For hospital institutions, 23.08% of the total areas takes more than 60 minutes to get there. And 59.96% of Gangwon-do takes more than 30 minutes to get to general hospitals. The result of Origin-Destination cost matrix showed that most Eup Myeon Dong in Gangwon-Do was connected to the institutions in Wonju-si, Chuncheon-si, Gangneung-si. And it showed that there were large regional variation in time and distance to reach the institutions. Implication: Results showed that there were regional variations of spatial accessibility to the mental health institutions in Gangwon-Do. To solve this problem, Several policy interventions could be applied such as mental health resources allocation plan, telemedicine, providing more closely coordinated services between mental health institutions and community mental health centers to enhance the accessibility.
