  • Among the environmental chemicals that may be able to disrupt the endocrine systems of animals and humans are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a chemical class of considerable concern. PCB consists of two six-carbon rings linked by a single carbon bond, and theoretically, 209 congeners can form, depending on the number of chlorines and their location on the biphenyl rings. Furthermore, 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) exposure also increases nitric oxide production and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells binding activity in chondrocytes, thus contributing as an initiator of chondrocyte apoptosis and resulting in thymic atrophy and immunosuppression. This study identified whether cardiac and immune abnormalities from PCB126 were caused by the Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 channels. PCB126 did not affect either the steady-state current or peak current of the Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 channels. However, PCB126 right-shifted the steady-state activation curves of human Kv1.3 channels. These results suggest that PCBs can affect the heart in a way that does not block voltage-dependent potassium channels including Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 directly.

  • Since the advent of blockchain and bitcoin, decentralization has been accelerating around the world as a public blockchain ethereum with smartcontract has begun. Developers can use Ethereum's blockchain development platform to develop "distributed applications" (DApp) running on a decentralized P2P network, and various types of devices from IoT to mobile can participate in a block-chain distributed environment have. Using Ethereum's blockchain development platform, developers can develop "Decentralized Application (DApp)" that run on a decentralized P2P network and various types of devices from IOT to mobile can participate in distributed blockchain environments. There are many ways to interact with the blockchain and the smart contract, but users tend to prefer the mobile methods due to their convenience and accessibility advantages. Therefore, the author developed an Android based voting DApp and researched related issues. Since the current development methods of DApp are not adequately researched and standardized, efficient methods for developing user-friendly DApp were studied. Because DApp has to spend a certain amount of fees to interact with blockchain, it has intensively investigated the gas problem of Smart Contract code and the security problem of code, and author would like to introduce it in this paper.

  • According to the survey of Ministry of the Interior and Safety in Korea, The number of public and private CCTV reached over ten million and is still increasing. Also with improving Image Processing Technology, it is possible to obtain diverse information. Recently, various services using CCTV are being provided. Therefore it is necessary to ensure CCTV image integrity. However there is no system to prove events in film yet. In this paper, we suggest system model that can manage, use and authenticate CCTV. This model allows a CCTV film to be verified by other nearby CCTVs' data. This model ensures film's integrity by using blockchain. And also, It addresses privacy problem in CCTV and file size problem in blockchain by using not large film data but much smaller analyzed data.

  • This paper studies desirable form of future e-government in terms of intelligent government research in response to new intelligent cyber security services in the fourth industrial revolution. Also, the strategic planning of the future e-government has been contemplated in terms of the centralization and intellectualization which are significant characteristics of the fourth industrial revolution. The new system construction which is applied with security analysis technology using big data through advanced relationship analysis is suggested in the paper. The establishment of the system, such as SIEM(Security Information & Event Management), which anticipatively detects security threat by using log information through big data analysis is suggested in the paper. Once the suggested system is materialized, it will be possible to expand big data object, allow centralization in terms of e-government security in the fourth industrial revolution, boost data process, speed and follow-up response, which allows the system to function anticipatively.

  • We proposed a curriculum that can learn the principle of blockchain by using the gamification which can bring up the interest and concentration of the students by connecting the contents of the class with the game. The proposed method is to educate the blockchain in a game format and to solve the problem that can be easily accessed in everyday life by applying the blockchain. By strengthening the thinking ability of computing, By growing information processing capacity, communication capacity, and community capacity, students can naturally enhance their education capacity. It is expected that the blockchain curriculum using the proposed gamification can be used to improve the information curriculum.

  • This paper proposes a blockchain system to share Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that recently suffers from mutual interference among increasing devices using unlicensed bands. Blockchain technology can induce cooperation from users by incentivizing them with cryptocurrency like shown in Bitcoin example. In this paper, we describe Blockchain based access mechanism in WLAN instead of conventional authentication based access. Here, users can access any WLAN access point by paying through smart contract while they also receive payment from others. In order to support real-time transaction, we apply proof-of-authority that is realized by Byzantine fault tolerant protocol instead of well-known proof-of-work that requires huge computing power and delay.

  • The authentication process is a key step that should be used to verify that a user is legitimate, and it should be used to verify that a user is a legitimate user and grant access only to that user. Recently, two-factor authentication and OTP schemes are used by most applications to add a layer of security to the login process and to address the vulnerability of using only one factor for authentication, but this method also allows access to user accounts without permission. This is a known security vulnerability. In this paper, we propose a Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) personal information authentication scheme based on a Smart Contract of a block chain that authenticates users with minimal personal information exposure conditions. This has the advantage of providing many security technologies to the authentication process based on blockchain technology, and that personal information authentication can be performed more safely than the existing authentication method.

  • Recently, in the field of next-generation e-commerce and finance, interest in blockchain-based technologies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum is great. Although the security of blockchain technology is known to be secure, hacking incidents / accidents related to cryptocurrencies are being issued. The main causes were vulnerabilities in the external environment, such as taking over login sessions on cryptocurrency wallets, exposing private keys due to malware infection, and using simple passwords. However, private key management recommends general methods such as utilizing a dedicated application or local backup and physical archiving through document printing. In this paper, we propose a white box password-based private key protection scheme. As a result of safety and performance analysis, we strengthened the security against vulnerability of private key exposure and proved the processing efficiency of existing protocol.

  • Modern financial services go beyond the stage of internet banking, and new concepts of financial transactions such as Internet of Things, mobile banking, electronic payments, and fintech have emerged. As a result, banks are less influential in financial transactions, and changes are being demanded. In the present era, the basic business of banks has decreased, and it is transforming into a space where both consumer finance work and reside. The bank office stands for the brand image of the bank, and it is represented by trust with customers in the basic business of financial transactions, and the rise in real estate value is a natural social phenomenon due to the nature of the location and location of real estate owned by the bank. The business method and space of the bank office that meets the new paradigm of the modern society is an inefficient space only for the convenience and rest of consumers, but it must be used as a variety of spaces suitable for the region to increase the functional value of the bank office. Through this study, as a convenience space for consumers, various service facilities should be introduced to understand the characteristics of the region as a convenience space for consumers, and various service facilities should be introduced to meet the needs of consumers, and the bank office should be improved as a complex service space for local residents.

  • The type of crimes is diverse and the number of crimes is increasing as society changes. This phenomenon is showing a higher trend in places with higher population density. Accordingly, many organizations install CCTV to reduce crime and provide key evidence of crime. Nevertheless, it is still weak to deal with crimes such as video manipulation targeting CCTV. Although blockchain-based CCTV image integrity techniques are applied to prevent manipulation, they only guarantee the manipulation integrity of the entire video and can't explain how certain sections of the video has been manipulated. Therefore, in this research, we propose a system for supporting explainable CCTV video integrity based on a block chain.
