In this study, safety education contents for medical radiation workers were produced based on Mixed Reality(MR). Currently, safety training for radiation workers is based on theory. This is insufficient in terms of worker satisfaction and efficiency. To address this, we created ICT(Information and Communication Technologies)-based MR radiation worker safety education content. The expected effect of Mixed Reality worker safety education content is that education is possible without space and time constraints, realistic education is possible without on-site training, and interaction between images is possible through reality-based 3D images, enabling self-directed learning Is that. In addition, learning in a virtual space expressed through HMD(Head Mounted Display) is expected to make education more enjoyable and increase concentration, thereby increasing the efficiency of education. A quantitative evaluation was conducted by an accredited institution and a qualitative evaluation was performed on users, which received excellent evaluation. The MR safety education conducted in this study is expected to be of great help to the education of medical radiation workers, and is expected to develop into a new educational paradigm as online education in accordance with Corona 19 progresses.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the content, quality and demographics of YouTube videos about rubber dam as an information source for clinicians and dental students. Materials and Methods: "Rubber dam," "rubber dam application," "dental isolation," "rubber dam isolation," and "dental dam" were determined as keywords for the detection of YouTube videos related to rubber dam. Seventy 3 videos were evaluated and a total of 34 videos met the inclusion criteria. All selected videos were evaluated according to 8 parameters. The videos were scored 1 if the videos contained information about the selected parameter, but if the videos did not contain enough information, they were scored 0. The data were statistically analyzed with the analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test (p < 0.05). Results: We found that 41% of the videos have poor, 47% have moderate, and 12% have good information. There is a statistically significant difference in time between poor and good information content (p < 0.05). There is a statistically significant difference between the poor and good information in the video information and quality index 1. Conclusions: Rubber dam-related videos available on YouTube are generally moderately informed and insufficient. YouTube is currently not sufficient as a source of information for patients and clinicians at the moment. The YouTube platform should be developed and enriched with quality information on current and dental issues.

As the importance of cardiovascular health is highlighted, research on its correlation with blood pressure, the most important indicator, is being actively conducted. Therefore, extensive clinical data is essential, but the measurement of the central arterial blood pressure waveform must be performed invasively within the artery, so the quantity and quality are limited. This study suggested a mock circulatory robot and artificial aorta to reproduce the blood pressure waveform generated by the overlap of forward and reflected waves. The artificial aorta was fabricated with biomimetic silicone to mimic the physiological structure and vascular stiffness of the human. A pressurizing chamber was implemented to prevent distortion of the blood pressure waveform due to the strain-softening of biomimetic silicone. The reproduced central arterial blood pressure waveforms have similar magnitude, shape, and propagation characteristics to humans. In addition, changes in blood pressure waveform due to aging were also reproduced by replacing an artificial aorta with various stiffness. It can be expanded to construct a biosignal database and health sensor testing platform, a core technology for cardiovascular health-related research.

Objectives: Exposure to fine particles in urban air has been associated with a number of negative health effects. High levels of fine particles have been detected at underground stations in big cities. We investigated the exposure conditions in four occupational groups in the Stockholm underground train system to identify high-exposed groups and study variations in exposure. Methods: $PM_1$ and $PM_{2.5}$ were measured during three full work shifts on 44 underground workers. Fluctuations in exposure were monitored by a real-time particle monitoring instrument, pDR, DataRAM. Qualitative analysis of particle content was performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Nitrogen dioxide was measured using passive monitors. Results: For all underground workers, the geometric mean (GM) of $PM_1$ was $18{\mu}g/m^3$ and of $PM_{2.5}$ was $37{\mu}g/m^3$. The particle exposure was highest for cleaners/platform workers, and the GM of $PM_1$ was $31.6{\mu}g/m^3$ [geometric standard deviation (GSD), 1.6] and of $PM_{2.5}$ was $76.5{\mu}g/m^3$ (GSD, 1.3); the particle exposure was lowest for ticket sellers, and the GM of $PM_1$ was $4.9{\mu}g/m^3$ (GSD, 2.1) and of $PM_{2.5}$ was $9.3{\mu}g/m^3$ (GSD, 1.5). The $PM_1$ and $PM_{2.5}$ levels were five times higher in the underground system than at the street level, and the particles in the underground had high iron content. The train driver's nitrogen dioxide exposure level was $64.1{\mu}g/m^3$ (GSD, 1.5). Conclusions: Cleaners and other platform workers were statistically significantly more exposed to particles than train drivers or ticket sellers. Particle concentrations ($PM_{2.5}$) in the Stockholm underground system were within the same range as in the New York underground system but were much lower than in several older underground systems around the world.

지하철 역사에 화재, 테러 등의 내 외부 위험요인을 감시하기 위하여 CCTV와 각종 센서를 이용한 감시시스템이 구축되어 왔으며, 최근 최신의 IT기술인 센서네트워크기술을 이용한 감시시스템기술 도입이 여러 분야에서 시도되고 있다. 2007년부터 정부 주도하에 지하철 역사의 경우에도 최신의 IT기술인 무선 센서네트워크기술 및 지능 형영상감시기술 등과 접목하여 화재, 제한지역 침입, 승객 혼잡도, 우범지역, 역사 건전성 등을 종합적으로 감시하는 도시철도지능형종합감시시스템 개발 및 구축이 추진 중에 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 개발 중인 도시철도 지능형 종합감시시스템의 현장 역사 적용에 앞서 무선센서네트워크의 대표라 할 수 있는 ZigBee기반의 현장 무선통신환경 시험을 서울지하철 충무로 역사에서 수행하였고, 본 논문에 충무로역사 내부 승강장 및 대합실에서의 ZigBee기반의 무선통신환경 시험결과를 정리, 분석하였다. 승강장 및 대합실의 무선 스펙트럼분석 결과 ZigBee기반의 센서네트워크의 주파수와 중첩되는 주파수는 없었으며 인접 주파수 또한 10MHz 이상 이격되어 주파수 간섭을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. ZigBee를 이용한 무선데이터 전송 시험 결과, 데이터 전송은 열차의 승강장 진출입시의 영향보다 승강장 혹은 대합실의 이용승객 수 및 유동량에 의한 멀티패스 페이딩(multi-path fading) 효과에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나, 역사에 지능형종합감시시스템 구축 시 이를 고려하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose：The purpose of this study was to investigated the effect of stability on heel-heights of insole in healthy adults. Methods：Subjects of 39 males measured stability index of the Biodex Stability System(BSS) by wearing shoes of 2cm, 5cm insoles including bare feet. The BSS was consisted of a movable balance platform and the platform was interfaced with computer software that enables the device to serve as an assessment of balance performance. Stability index of the BSS included overall stability index(OSI), anteroposterior stability index(APSI), mediolateral stability index(MLSI). In the BSS, subjects were asked to step on to the platform of the BSS and assume a comfortable position while maintaining slight flexion in the knees, looking straight ahead. Subjects were trained for 10min for adaptation to the heel-height of insole and then they maintained double limb stance for 2min. Biodex platform set to convert Lv.8 into Lv.1 gradually. Results：There were statistically significant differences between heel-heights of insole and stability index of OSI, APSI, and MLSI(p<.05). The result of post-hoc test were as follows; 1)OSI had significant differences between bare feet and 2cm, 5cm. 2)APSI had significant differences between bare feet and 2cm, 5cm. 3)MLSI had significant differences between bare feet and 2cm, 5cm(p<.05). Conclusions：We found that the more heels of insole high, the more stability index increases. In particular, balance index of insole above 5cm more increased and we could acknowledge that the insole above 5cm more effected balance of healthy adults.

사물통신(M2M)은 사람의 개입이나 간섭 없이도 2개 이상의 단말 간에 통신을 가능하게 하는 기술이다. M2M 통신은 환경 모니터링, 헬스 케어 등과 같은 다양한 유즈케이스에 적용될 수 있다. 대부분의 유즈케이스에서 M2M은 관심 있는 환경으로부터 데이터를 수집하기 위해서 센서 노드를 활용하며 데이터는 다른 기기(즉, 게이트웨이, 싱크 노드)를 거쳐 M2M 응용으로 전송된다. 어떤 유즈케이스에서는 M2M 단말들이 서비스의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서 센서 데이터를 저장하고 처리할 수 있도록 설계되어진다. 게이트웨이와 싱크노드 또한 센서 노드들로부터 수집된 데이터를 저장 및 처리할 수 있다. 이러한 형태의 접근방법은 학계 및 산업계 모두에 매우 도전적으로 받아들여지고 있다. 이러한 접근방법의 성능을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 M2M 단말과 게이트웨이를 위한 공통 서비스 보안 플랫폼(CSSP)를 제안한다. CSSP 플랫폼은 단말과 게이트웨이를 보다 정확하고 효율적으로 만들기 위한 솔루션을 제공한다. 게다가, 통신 프로토콜간의 비교 및 선정된 메트릭스에 따른 프로토콜들의 성능 분석을 제시한다.
