The development of information technology (IT) has led to changes in medical education. IT has been used for e-learning and e-teaching, e-assessment, e-logistics, and e-administration. Pusan National University School of Medicine has developed its own educational information system using IT to support students' learning and assessment and to manage curricular activities. Based on our experience, we propose six suggestions for designing new software, specifically regarding simplifying the design for users, communication with the programmer, a rapid cycle from design to implementation, orientation support for users, backup and security support, and obtaining patents. Collaborating with the Department of Medical Informatics within the School of Medicine has advantages, and an alliance among medical schools can simplify the development of software. In any case, curricular innovation should precede the introduction of technology because all technologies should support curricular goals.

In many countries, a Single Window system for simplifications is establishing in order to reduce works submitted double data and compliance costs. A Single Window is defined as a facility that allows parties involved in trade and transport to lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point to fulfil all import, export, and transit-related regulatory requirements. A Single window can bring improved level of security, faster clearance and reduced compliance costs. UN/CEFACT released "Recommendation and Guidelines on establishing a Single Window to enhance the efficient exchange of information between trade and government". Also, WCO has made progress several projects to assist effective establishing a single window, i.e. CDM, UCR, ICT. Korea has being established a single window system, "e-trade platform" connected with trade, clearance, logistics, marketing and payment system. Some suggestions to establish a effective single window system in Korea are as follows. Firstly, it is necessary to clearly define roles and responsibilities of a lead agency in a single window system and form a organic relationship with PGA. Secondly, a single window system has to be progressed by stages, namely, customs clearance portal system should be established first, and later established e-trade platform. Lastly, the Korean government has to take part in CDM project to gain an advantage over other countries.

Purpose: This is a pilot study to identify patient safety risk factors and strategies for patient safety management perceived by nurses. Methods: Data were collected and analyzed with an open questionnaire from April to May 2005, targeted on 100 nurses working in two hospitals. The issues were 'what are risk factors for patients, nurses, and other medical practitioners? How do they prevent with the aftermath of risk factors, causes of incidents?' For data analysis, types and frequency of risk factors were worked out, using the Australian Incident Monitoring System Taxonomy. Results: The types of patient safety risk factor perceived by nurses were as follows ; therapeutic devices or equipment, infrastructure and services (29.5%), nosocomial infections (16.3%), clinical processes or procedures (15.4%), behavior, human performance, violence, aggression, security and safety (12.2%), therapeutic agents (9.7%), injuries and pressure ulcers (8.7%), logistics, organization, documentation, and infrastructure technology (5.6%). Strategies for patient safety included training of prevention of infection, education about safety management for patients and medical professionals, establishment of reporting system, culture of care, pre-elimination of risk factors, cooperative system among employees, and sharing information. Conclusion: These results will be used to provide evidences for patient safety management and educational program.

Recent deregulation of Korean electricity industry has made each power generation company pay more attention to maximizing its own profit instead of minimizing the overall system operation cost while guaranteeing system security. Electricity power generation problem is typically defined as the problem of determining both the on and off status and the power generation level of each generator under the given fuel constraints, which has been known as Profit-Based Unit Commitment (PBUC) problem. To solve the PBUC problem, the previous research mostly focused on devising Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) based heuristic algorithms due to the complexity of the problem and the nonlinearity of constraints and objectives. However, these heuristic approaches have been reported as less practical in real world applications since the computational run time is usually quite high and it may take a while to implement the devised heuristic algorithms as software applications. Especially when considering long-term planning problem which spans at least one year, the complexity becomes higher. Therefore, this paper proposes an explicit column generation algorithm using power generation patterns and the proposed algorithm is successfully applied to a Korean power generation company. The proposed scheme has a robust structure so that it is expected to extend general PBUC problems.

This study proposes D- shortage control system which is a convenient tool for cooperative companies to reduce shortages which frequently break out between the manufacturing companies and the cooperative companies. On the ground of theoretical analysis of MRP and JIT system, D- shortage control system sets up a schedule that secures the delivery date by precedent scheduling( D-) comparing with MRP It also syncronizes business, production and release, and builds the pull system comparing with JIT. The factors causing shotages are the scheduling absurdity and the controlling absurdity. The scheduling absurdity can be settled by the calculating required quantity method of MRP and the controlling absurdity can be settled by daily control of business, production and pruchasing fuctions by the pull system of JIT. And the inventory and the WIP can be reduced by the operating of PULL system and by the settlement of D- shortage control practices. The Application of D- shortage control system, therefore, enables the rationalization of logistics and reduces the inventory And it leads to the reinforced competitiveness and the security of subsistence of manufacturer by the cost ruduction, the reduction of financial difficulty, and the insurance of the delivery date.

This study aims to derive a technology development roadmap in related fields by utilizing patent documents of financial technology. To this end, patent documents are extracted by dragging technical keywords from prior research and related reports on financial technology. By applying the TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) technique in the extracted patent document, which is a text mining technique, to the extracted patent documents, the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm was applied to identify the keywords and identify the topics of the core technologies of financial technology. Based on the proportion of topics by year, which is the result of LDA, promising technology fields and convergence fields were identified through trend analysis and similarity analysis between topics. A first-stage technology development roadmap for technology field development and a second-stage technology development roadmap for convergence were derived through network analysis about the technology data-based integrated management system of the high-dimensional payment system using RF and intelligent cards, as well as the security processing methodology for data information and network payment, which are identified financial technology fields. The proposed method can serve as a sufficient reason basis for developing financial technology R&D strategies and technology roadmaps.

The National Defense Reformation bill of "National Defense Reformation 2020" which have been constantly disputed and reformed by the government went through various levels of complementary measures after the North Korean sinking on the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Vessel "Cheonan". The final outcome of this reform is also known as the 307 Plan and this was announced on the 8th March. The reformed National Defense Reformation is to reduce the number of units and military personnel under the military structure reformation. However, in order for us to undertake successful National Defense Reformation, the use of privatized civilian resources are essential. Therefore according to this theory, the ROK Ministry of National Defense (MND) have selected the usage of privatized resources as one of the main core agenda for the National Defense Reformation management procedures, and under this agenda the MND plans to further expand the usage of private Especially the MND plans to minimize the personnel resources applied in non-combat areas and in turn use these supplemented personnel with optimization. In order to do this, the MND have initiated necessary appropriate analysis over the whole national defense section by understanding various projects and acquisition requests required by each militaries and civilian research institutions. However for efficient management of privatized civilian resources, first of all, those possible efficient private resources which can achieve optimization will need to be identified, and secondly continuous systematic reinforcements will need to be made in private resource usage legislations. Furthermore, we would need to consider the possibility of labor disputes because of privatization expansion. Therefore, full legal and systematic complementary measures are required in all possible issue arising areas which can affect the combat readiness posture. There is another problem of huge increase in operational expenses as reduction of standby forces are only reducing the number of soldiers and filling these numbers with more cost expensive commissioned officers. However, to overcome this problem, we would need to reduce the number of positions available for active officers and fill these positions with military reserve personnel who previously had working experiences with the related positions (thereby guaranteeing active officers re-employment after completing active service). This would in tum maintain the standards of combat readiness posture and reduce necessary financial budgets which may newly arise. The area of maintenance, supply, transportation, training & education duties which are highly efficient when using privatized resources, will need to be transformed from military management based to civilian management based system. For maintenance, this can be processed by integrating National Maintenance Support System. In order for us to undertake this procedure, we would need to develop maintenance units which are possible to be privatized and this will in turn reduce the military personnel executing job duties, improve service quality and prevent duplicate investments etc. For supply area, we will need to establish Integrated Military Logistics Center in-connection with national and civilian logistics system. This will in turn reduce the logistics time frame as well as required personnel and equipments. In terms of transportation, we will need to further expand the renting and leasing system. This will need to be executed by integrating the National Defense Transportation Information System which will in turn reduce the required personnel and financial budgets. Finally for training and education, retired military personnel can be employed as training instructors and at the military academy, further expansion in the number of civilian professors can be employed in-connection with National Defense Reformation. In other words, more active privatized civilian resources will need to be managed and used for National Defense Reformation.

As the world has had a high recognition of security since 9/11 attacks in 2001, many countries and international organizations around the world are making strenuous efforts in establishing stronger security, centering on areas with high possibility of terrorist attacks. In particular, harbor facilities where a great deal of trade take place between countries, have high possibilities of becoming the objects of terrorist attacks and also of becoming places of trading objects and illegal items which might be leveraged for terror attacks. In this study, I have explained the current status of the harbor entrance system through existing documents, interviews and field trips to harbors and have also introduced improvement measures using RFID technology from the viewpoint of BP(Business Process). I expect that this study will be used as basic materials because I have studied the number of people entering harbors and working procedures for vehicle entrance, which have not been studied so far and also laid out various factors to be considered to introduce RFID technology.

The Blockchain is a technique that prevents data from being manipulated and guarantees the integrity and reliability of the data by all participants in the network jointly owning and validating the data. Since the Blockchain characterized by security, scalability and transparency, it is used in a variety of fields including logistics, distribution, IoT and healthcare, including remittance. In particular, there is a growing interest in smart contract that can create different forms of contracts and automate implementation based on Blockchain. Smart Contract can be used to pre-programme contracts and are implemented immediately when conditions are met. As a result, digital data can be more reliable. In this paper, we are conducting a study on the smart contract design as a way to solve such problems as illegal misuse of funds on virtual currency, which has become an issue recently. Through this process, we applied the customer identification and money laundering prevention process using smart contract, and then check the possibility of preventing money laundering and propose the ASM (AML SmartContract Mechant) design.
