Background: An excessive pronated foot is defined as a flattening or complete loss of the medial longitudinal arch. Excessive foot pronation is considered to have high risk factors of overuse injuries in the lower limb. Various treatments have been investigated in attempts to control excessive pronation. Objects: This meta-analysis identifies the effects of an anti-pronation taping technique using different materials. Methods: The electronic databases used include MEDLINE, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Science Direct, the Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS), the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), the Korea National Library, and the Korean Medical Database (studies published up to July 31, 2019). The database search used the following keywords: "foot drop" OR "foot arch" OR "foot pronation" OR "flat foot (pes planus)" AND "taping" OR "support." Eight eligible studies were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of anti-pronation taping in study and control groups. Results: The overall random effect size (Hedges'g) of the anti-pronation taping technique was 0.147 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -.214 to .509). When the effect (Hedges' g) was compared by the type of tape material, rigid tape (RT; Lowdye taping) was .213 (95% CI: -.278 to .704) and kinesiotape (KT; arch support taping) was -.014 (95% CI: -.270 to .242). Based on this meta-analysis, it was not possible to identify the extent to which anti-pronation taping was effective in preventing navicular drop, improving balance, or changing foot pressure. Only three of the eight eligible studies applied KT on excessive pronated feet, and the outcome measure areas were different to those of the RT studies. The KT studies used EMG data, overall foot posture index (FPI) scores, and rear foot FPI scores. In contrast, the RT studies measured navicular heights, various foot angles, and foot pressure. Conclusion: This review could not find any conclusive evidence about the effectiveness of any taping method for patients with pronated feet. Future studies are needed to develop the anti-pronation taping technique based on the clinical scientific evidence.

'Semantic gap' has been a year-old problem in automatic video summarization, which refers to the gap between semantics implied in video summarization algorithms and what people actually infer from watching videos. Using the external EEG bio-feedback obtained from video watchers as a solution of this semantic gap problem has several another issues: First, how to define and measure noises against ERP waveforms as signals. Second, whether individual differences among subjects in terms of noise and SNR for conventional ERP studies using still images captured from videos are the same with those differently conceptualized and measured from videos. Third, whether individual differences of subjects by noise and SNR levels help to detect topic-irrelevant shots as signals which are not matched with subject's own semantic topical expectations (mis-match negativity at around 400m after stimulus on-sets). The result of repeated measures ANOVA test clearly shows a 2-way interaction effect between topic-relevance and noise level, implying that subjects of low noise level for video watching session are sensitive to topic-irrelevant visual shots, while showing another 3-way interaction among topic-relevance, noise and SNR levels, implying that subjects of high noise level are sensitive to topic-irrelevant visual shots only if they are of low SNR level.

Altmetrics is the measurement index and quantitative data to complement the traditional indicators based on the citation. Altmetrics research has acquired greater importance in the past few years, partly due to the complement to the traditional bibliometrics. This paper aims to reveal the research status and trends in altmetrics research. A total of 187 articles from 2005 to 2017 are obtained and analyzed, illustrating a steady rise (S-mode) in altmetrics research since 2005. Using social network analysis and co-word analysis, the author cooperation network and keyword co-occurrence network are developed. The core scientists and eight international research groups are discovered, reflecting that researchers in this field have a low degree of cooperation. Four topics of altmetrics research are discovered by hierarchical clustering. The results can be useful for the advanced research of altmetrics.

Road signs are important infrastructures for safe and smooth traffic by providing useful information to drivers. It is necessary to establish road sign DB for managing road signs systematically. To provide such DB, manually detection and recognition from imagery can be done. However, it is time and cost consuming. In this study, we proposed algorithms for automatic recognition of direction information in road sign image. Also we developed algorithm code using OpenCV library, and applied it to road sign image. To automatically detect and recognize direction information, we developed program which is composed of various modules such as image enhancement, image binarization, arrow region extraction, interesting point extraction, and template image matching. As a result, we can confirm the possibility of automatic recognition of direction information in road sign image.

One shot tasks like a MERSC handling policy, a cinema poster, and so on are too small, diverse, and sporadic to make them as apps or web applications. They are usually shared as the form of notes attached in the field or messages in smart phones. In order to support inter-operability with internet web sites, QR/NFC tags are attached to them. What matters in the web technology is that HTML5 standard does not supply the accessability of smart phones' resources like a camera, an audio, magnetic sensors, and etc. In this paper, we propose a universal smart phone application for handling various one-shot tasks in the same UI/UX. One-shot tasks are described with HTML5 web documents, and the URL for the web documents are stored in QR/NFC tags. A smart phone scans a tag, and then the web document is retrieved and presented finally. QR tags can be delivered to other smart phones through messages or SNS. We solve the problem of HTML5 standard supplying a resource access library with javascrippts. We suggested the whole architecture and the internal structure of QR/NFC tags. We show that our scheme is applicable to make variable one-shot tasks.

The need for and importance of preserving various information resources on the web is constantly increasing. In addition to traditional types of records, the web contains communication records displaying various people's diverse viewpoints and connecting an event to its context. In particular, information resources produced during a disaster must be collected for long-term preservation. The "OASIS Disaster Archive" is a service provided through OASIS, which was developed and is managed by the National Library of Korea, to collect and preserve online information resources related to the recent disaster events in Korea. This study examines the characteristics and current status of the contents of the Disaster Archive to make suggestions for its improvements.

In this paper, we propose an automatic generation method of transaction level(TL) model from algorithmic model to verify system specification fast and effectively using virtual platform. The TL virtual platform including structural properties such as timing, synchronization and real-time is one of the effective verification frameworks. However, whenever change system specification or HW/SW mapping, we must rebuild virtual platform and additional design/verification time is required. And the manual description is very time-consuming and error-prone process. To solve these problems, we build TL library which consists of basic components of virtual platform such as CPU, memory, timer. We developed a set of design/verification tools in order to generate a virtual platform automatically. Our tools generate a virtual platform which consists of embedded real-time operating system (RTOS) and hardware components from an algorithmic modeling. And for communication between HW and SW, memory map and device drivers are generated. The effectiveness of our proposed framework has been successfully verified with a Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) and H.264 algorithm. We claim that our approach enables us to generate an application specific virtual platform $100x{\tims}1000x$ faster than manual designs. Also, we can refine an initial platform incrementally to find a better HW/SW mapping. Furthermore, application software can be concurrently designed and optimized as well as RTOS by the generated virtual platform
