  • Pteris griffithii Hook., one of the rarest fern species on the Indian subcontinent, is reported from Bhutan for the first time. The identity of this species was confirmed through morphological determination at the National Herbarium (THIM) of the National Biodiversity Centre (NBC) of Bhutan. It was found only in one location, in Gyelpozhing in eastern Bhutan, at an elevation of 521 m a.s.l. on 10 January 2016. Given that a very limited study of this species was conducted, the knowledge baseline with regard to its distribution is poor. It is also reported that this species has not been found for several years. The species is also considered to be very rare or critically endangered in some countries; however, there are no assessments on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List for this particular species. This paper attempts to provide baseline information considering its rarity and data deficiency. This species is also reported from the adjacent neighboring Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as very rare, and also from Myanmar; however, confirmation of its presence in China is not clear at this time. Therefore, considering its data deficient status, we attempt to document it scientifically to create a knowledgebase pertaining to this particular species. Concurrently, this species merits further research to understand its distribution patterns in Bhutan and any related anthropogenic threats.

  • In supervised learning, labeling of all data is essential, and in particular, in the case of object detection, all objects belonging to the image and to be learned have to be labeled. Due to this problem, continual learning has recently attracted attention, which is a way to accumulate previous learned knowledge and minimize catastrophic forgetting. In this study, a continaul learning model is proposed that accumulates previously learned knowledge and enables learning about new objects. The proposed method is applied to CenterNet, which is a object detection model of anchor-free manner. In our study, the model is applied the knowledge distillation algorithm to be enabled continual learning. In particular, it is assumed that all output layers of the model have to be distilled in order to be most effective. Compared to LWF, the proposed method is increased by 23.3%p mAP in 19+1 scenarios, and also rised by 28.8%p in 15+5 scenarios.

  • Zeus is one of the will-published malwares. Generally, it infects PC by executing a specific binary file downloaded on the internet. When infected, try to hook a particular Windows API of the currently running processes. If process runs hooked API, this API executes a particular code of Zeus and your private information is leaked. This paper describes techniques to detect and hook Windows API. We believe the technique should be able to detect modern P2P Zeus.

  • Recently, construction projects are gradually becoming high-rise and large-scale, and furthermore, the use of new buildings is emerging through the deepening of the underground. In this situation, a lot of fire damage has occurred in recent years, mainly in buildings and tunnel structures. In particular, damages caused by fires during large-scale construction projects such as freezing warehouse accidents are increasing. In this situation, in Korea, it is still trying to secure safety from human fire through the administrative system divided into the building law and the fire law, but it is being developed in a negative direction rather than a positive direction. The fire risk is getting bigger even when the road is not maintained. In this current situation, it is considered that the development of a Korean integrated life safety code centering on the consciousness base of Koreans will be necessary, and in particular, the ease of revision will also be needed by promoting the integrated safety code rather than current laws and regulations. This is a summary of the future tasks.

  • Various studies are being conducted to improve the accuracy of fine dust, but there is a problem that deep learning models are not well learned due to various characteristics according to the concentration of fine dust. This paper proposes an EEMD-based fine dust concentration prediction model to decompose the characteristics of fine dust concentration and reflect the characteristics. After decomposing the fine dust concentration through EEMD, the final fine dust concentration value is derived by ensemble of the prediction results according to the characteristics derived from each. As a result of the model's performance evaluation, 91.7% of the fine dust concentration prediction accuracy was confirmed.

  • The revolution of digital fashion continues along with the development of technology. In particular, after COVID-19, fashion design development, exhibitions, and fashion shows using the metaverse space are being actively developed. In particular, as research on 3D virtual costumes becomes active, creative ideas are needed to develop creative virtual costumes. The purpose of this study is to examine the geometric formative characteristics of constructivism in art and fashion design and to develop 3D virtual works using them. Geometric form is a logical and rational basic form that includes the order of nature as an artistic material that has been constantly studied along with the creation of mankind a long time ago, and it has become a motif of many artworks and fashion. In this paper, we studied the application of the costume design of geometric shapes according to the 3D Clo, virtual-wear production software, and understood the effect of the combination of geometric shapes on costume styling. As the formative characteristics of constructivist art, three types of overlap, asymmetry, and simplicity were derived, and the geometric form was visually simple, clear, and concise. The first work produced virtual costumes that reflected the overlapping elements of constructivism. The second costume was produced by reflecting the asymmetric formative characteristics of constructivism. The third costume was a jacket that applied the simplicity of constructivist art.

  • A large number of employees shifted to Work from home (WFH) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the construction workforce. The changes in workload and productivity due to WFH impact the work performance and economic outputs of companies. However, there are mixed results about the impacts of WFH on workload and productivity. In particular, limited studies focused on specific types of work of different occupations in the construction workforce. This study aims to explore the impacts of WFH on workload and productivity considering different types of work for the construction workforce in the U.S. After identifying three main occupations and five types of work, an online survey (N = 69) was distributed. Descriptive analysis showed that participants had less workload (0.82 hours/week) and lower productivity (9.69%) during WFH. Three occupations had varied changes due to the different types of work. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicated that there was no significant difference in workload, while productivity was decreased during WFH. In particular, the productivity of project-related work and communication and documentation decreased significantly. Overall, participants finished 2.85% less workload per week during WFH. The findings provide an insight into WFH in the construction workforce, which improves future remote or hybrid work arrangements in the construction industry.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of intake of aronia, montmorency, and Prunus mume on 10 km endurance exercise by investigating changes in blood lactate, ammonia, creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and eventually to recommend them as ergogenic aids, which are effective for recovering from exercise fatigue and muscle damage. The subjects were divided into a P. mume intake group, an aronia intake group, a montmorency intake group, and a control group. Blood samples were taken from the brachial vein at rest, and at 0, 30 min, and 24 hr after running to measure recovery status. All data were analyzed by a two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance using SPSS. The results are summarized as follows: The changes in blood ammonia and LDH concentration following 10 km of running were not significantly different among the groups. However, lactate and CK recovery ratio increased significantly in the aronia and montmorency groups compared to those in the P. mume and control groups. In particular, CK concentration was significantly different in the montmorency group compared to that in the other groups. These results suggest that the effects of aronia and montmorency are associated with improved recovery from muscle fatigue and damage induced by highly intensive exercise, endurance exercise, or overtraining. In particular, montmorency is recommended as an ergogenic aid to inhibit muscle pain resulting from high-intensity endurance exercise.

  • A number of recent Victorian studies have participated in a renewed focus on form. E. Warwick Slinn and Monique R. Morgan, for instance, have contributed to enhancing our understanding of the Victorian dramatic monologue. This paper aims to expand what they have addressed by revisiting the mechanics of the dramatic form as a form, in particular addressing two types of dramatic monologue represented with supreme adroitness by Robert Browning and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, both of whom successfully attempted to widen our epistemology through a large act of the poetic imagination and great intellectual power. To this end, this paper lays particular attention to the role of the reader who is regarded as a key element of the dramatic aspect of the genre. In the dramatic monologue proper, real readers are actively brought into dialogic relation with the speaker or the poet, or both, whereby it seeks to represent an act of play among the poet, the speaker, and the reader. What the genre achieves in this fashion is twofold. For one thing, it pushes itself sufficiently to the very centre of the complex of apparently various narrative motives that animate the genre; for another, it honours the world of multiple viewpoints more than any other previous form of literature, all the more so as readers' views vary across their own time, space, and socio-cultural contexts. Incidentally, in one way and another, the dramatic monologue is of kinship with a Jamesian type of fiction, which is noted for its exterior impersonality. So this paper concludes by suggesting some theoretical implications that the dramatic genre assumes for, not only the naturalist novel, but also the (post-)modernist one.

  • This paper aims to provide some unique insights into the verification of organisational innovation diffusion through empirically identifying the major factors determining the level of organisational innovation diffusion. The paper presents a two-stage sequential mixed method analysis: structural equation modelling analysis and regression analysis. A questionnaire survey was administrated to a sample of 223 organisations operating in Saudi Arabia. The results suggest that participative culture and, technology availability and implementation would intensify organisational climate for innovation. The results revealed compelling evidence in support of the moderating role of technology on the relationship between country socio-culture and organisational climate for innovation. Equally important, organisational innovation characteristics could play a crucial role in the intention to adopt a particular innovation. Specifically, maintaining Saudi Arabian top management's status quo is an obstacle to organisational innovation diffusion. This paper expands and improves upon the current understanding of how organisational innovation diffusion, in particular the Project Management Office (PMO), can be accelerated. By focusing on the critical factors within the conceptual model, the paper depicts the crucial role of certain factors that could leverage improved organisational innovation diffusion outcomes.
