  • 스펙트럼 검출은 인지 무선 시스템(Cognitive Radios) 구현을 위한 핵심 기술들 중의 하나이다. 스펙트럼 검출에서 문제시되는 점들 중에 하나는 페이딩(Fading) 및 쉐도윙(Shadowing) 등으로 인해서 스펙트럼 검출 성능이 저하된다는 것이다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 방법 중 하나가 협력 스펙트럼 검출 방법이다. 이 방법을 통해 비협력 스펙트럼 검출 방식의 성능을 개선할 수 있지만, 여전히 큰 장애물과 같은 간섭 요인에 의해 스펙트럼 성능이 영향을 받는다는 단점이 있다. 특히, 기존의 대부분의 연구에서는 고정된 1차 사용자(Primary User, PU)를 고려하고 있지만 향후 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 환경에서는 이동성을 가지는 1차 사용자가 존재하는 시스템을 고려해야 한다. 이러한 환경에서 기존의 협력 스펙트럼 검출 방식은 정확성이 낮은 검출 성능을 보이고 고려하지 않아도 될 2차 사용자(Cognitive User, CR user)의 국부 센싱값을 전송함으로써 많은 에너지를 소비하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 무선 인지 시스템에서의 이동성을 가지는 1차 사용자의 위치를 추정하고 이를 기반으로 간섭 영향을 받는 2차 사용자를 검출한다. 또한 검출된 간섭영향을 받는 2차 사용자의 센싱 정보를 융합 결정할 때 배제함으로써 스펙트럼 검출의 정확성을 높이는 방법을 제안하다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘 보다 정확한 스펙트럼 검출을 보인다.

  • This study is a leading case of empirical analysis of whether, when corporate stakeholders (government, investors, customers, managers, employees) put pressure on companies for ESG management, it affects the introduction and implementation of ESG activities (environmental, social, governance) and affects business performance. As for the research method, a sustainability report was published, and a web survey of Korea Research Inc. was conducted from May 10 to May 20, 2022 targeting ESG management managers of 192 companies, and analyzed through the PLS structural equation model. As a result of the study, it was found that the introduction and execution of ESG is closely influenced by the pressure from the government, investors, managers, and employees, and in particular, the internal pressure of current managers and executives and employees has a great impact on the introduction and implementation of environmental, social, and governance activities. In particular, although external pressure also has some influence, it is practical to suggest that strong internal pressure is necessary for continuous activities and performance. And, methodologically, the main activity indicators of the GRI Reporting Guidelines, which are the most representative ESG management indicators, were developed as a questionnaire, and reliability, validity, and model fit were secured through comparison with indicators of multiple systems and expert reviews. The limitations of this study are that more in-depth analysis by industry or size is possible when ESG management is mature and sufficient samples are secured, and complex ESG pressure factor modeling is possible when more diverse stakeholders are added.

  • Objective: To assess the technical performance of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) for measuring liver stiffness. Materials and Methods: The Ovid-MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for studies reporting the technical performance of 2D-SWE, including concerns with technical failures, unreliable measurements, interobserver reliability, and/or intraobserver reliability, published until June 30, 2018. The pooled proportion of technical failure and unreliable measurements was calculated using meta-analytic pooling via the random-effects model and inverse variance method for calculating weights. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore potential causes of heterogeneity. The pooled intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for interobserver and intraobserver reliability were calculated using the Hedges-Olkin method with Fisher's Z transformation of the correlation coefficient. Results: The search yielded 34 articles. From 20 2D-SWE studies including 6196 patients, the pooled proportion of technical failure was 2.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-3.9%). The pooled proportion of unreliable measurements from 20 studies including 6961 patients was 7.5% (95% CI, 4.7-11.7%). In the subgroup analyses, studies conducting more than three measurements showed fewer unreliable measurements than did those with three measurements or less, but no intergroup difference was found in technical failure. The pooled ICCs for interobserver reliability (from 10 studies including 517 patients) and intraobserver reliability (from 7 studies including 679 patients) were 0.87 (95% CI, 0.82-0.90) and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.89-0.95), respectively, suggesting good to excellent reliability. Conclusion: 2D-SWE shows good technical performance for assessing liver stiffness, with high technical success and reliability. Future studies should establish the quality criteria and optimal number of measurements.

  • This article discussed the characteristics of several Pareto-optimal incentive contracts between owner and labor, more specifically, four situations: reporting output jointly observable by labor ana owner; reporting both output and effort; incorporating other endogenous elements (like capital) that affect the production process and Pareto-optimal fee schedules; and ascertaining the effects of private pre-decision information private- decision information, and per-contact informational asymmetries. Also presented were several extensions of the basic contractual model, and the different components of agency costs associated with labor-owner contractual relations. In a single-period model, the agency problem exists because the uncertainty prevents the owner from using the cash flow to determine unambiguously the labor's action. Holmstrom(1979) suggests that "when the same situation repeats itself over time, the effects of uncertainty tend to be reduced and dystunctional behavior is more accurately revealed, thus alleviating the problem of moral hazard. " Under these conditions, if the labor selects the first-best level of effect in each period, the cash flow will be independent and identically distributed over time. As the number of periods increases, the variance of the labows average output, if he selects the first-best level of effort in each period, gets smaller. Note that for this diversification effect to occur, it is necessary that the owner evaluate the labor's effort over the entire history of his employment, rather than evaluate each period's performance separately. Radner(1980) and Rubinstein and Yaari(1980) consider the extreme case in which there are an infinite number of observations. They show that the owner can eventually detect and systematic shirking on the part of the labor by comparing the labor's average output with what would be expected if the labor had been selecting the first-best level of effort in each period. In a dynamic model with incentive problems we have demonstrated that the labor's second-period compensation will depend on his first-period performance. This allows the owner to diversify away some of the uncertainty surrounding the labor's actions. In addition, this allows the owner to smooth the labor's income over time by spreading the risk of the first-period outcome over both periods. At least some unexplored avenves in this area invite future accounting research: situations where owner has different incompatible objectives and negotiates a contract with labor; circumstances in which owner deals with multiple objectives and negotiates contracts with several labors simultaneously; the value of costly accounting information systems and communication in establishing, Pareto-optimal incentive contracts, and the value and effects of inside information, Thorough theoretical or empirical research on each of these topics not only would increase our knowledge about the role and significance of accounting information but could also provide explanations of the inherent differences among various organizations and in their economic behavior. behavior.

  • Objective: To compare the diagnostic performance between Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2.0 (PI-RADSv2.0) and version 2.1 (PI-RADSv2.1) for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in the peripheral zone (PZ). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 317 patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and targeted biopsy for PZ lesions. Definition of csPCa was International Society of Urologic Pathology grade ≥ 2 cancer. Area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy for csPCa were analyzed by two readers. The cancer detection rate (CDR) for csPCa was investigated according to the PI-RADS categories. Results: AUC of PI-RADSv2.1 (0.856 and 0.858 for reader 1 and 2 respectively) was higher than that of PI-RADSv2.0 (0.795 and 0.747 for reader 1 and 2 respectively) (both p < 0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy for PI-RADSv2.0 vs. PI-RADSv2.1 were 93.2% vs. 88.3% (p = 0.023), 52.8% vs. 76.6% (p < 0.001), 48.7% vs. 64.5% (p < 0.001), 94.2% vs. 93.2% (p = 0.504), and 65.9% vs. 80.4% (p < 0.001) for reader 1, and 96.1% vs. 92.2% (p = 0.046), 34.1% vs. 72.4% (p < 0.001), 41.3% vs. 61.7% (p < 0.001), 94.8% vs. 95.1% (p = 0.869), and 54.3% vs. 78.9% (p < 0.001) for reader 2, respectively. CDRs of PI-RADS categories 1-2, 3, 4, and 5 for PI-RADSv2.0 vs. PI-RADSv2.1 were 5.9% vs. 5.9%, 5.8% vs. 12.5%, 39.8% vs. 56.2%, and 88.9% vs. 88.9% for reader 1; and 4.5% vs. 4.1%, 6.1% vs. 11.1%, 32.5% vs. 53.4%, and 85.0% vs. 86.8% for reader 2, respectively. Conclusion: Our data demonstrated improved AUC, specificity, PPV, accuracy, and CDRs of category 3 or 4 of PI-RADSv2.1, but decreased sensitivity, compared with PI-RADSv2.0, for csPCa in PZ.

  • 본 논문에서는 우리나라 상장기업의 환경보고서 혹은 웹사이트를 통한 환경정보의 자발적 공시실태를 조사하였다. GRI 보고기준을 기반으로 한 공시수준 평가기준을 이용하여 내용분석을 실시한 결과 표본기업의 공시의 질은 높지 않은 것으로 판명되었다. 공시항목의 범주를 객관적 공시와 주관적 공시로 구분할 때 특히 객관적 공시의 질이 열악한 것으로 평가되었다. 이와 함께 본 논문에서는 TRI 자료를 이용하여 환경성과를 측정하고 주식시장의 산업조정수익률로 경제성과를 정의하여 환경공시수준, 환경성과 및 경제성과 사이의 동시적 상관관계를 분석하였다. OLS 방법에의하여 개별회귀식을 추정할 경우 공시수준과 환경성과 사이에는 유의한 양의 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났으나 환경성과와 경제성과 사이에는 유의한 관련성을 발견할 수 없었다. 나아가 2SLS 접근법에 의하여 연립방정식을 추정할 경우 세 변수 사이에 내생성을 발견할 수 없었으며 이들 세 변수 중의 어떠한 두 변수 사이에서도 상관관계가 관찰되지 않았다. 추가분석에서 감사보고서 각주공시의 수준을 GRI 기준에 입각하여 평가한 결과 공시의 질은 현저하게 낮은 것으로 파악되었으며 각주공시의 선택 여부가 환경보고서 공시의 질에 아무런 영향도 끼치지 못하는 것으로 확인 되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the health promotion behavior and its related factors of persons who wanted a comprehensive health check-up in order to provide a basis for health education to promote health enhancing behavior. Study variables were induced from Pender's Health Promotion Model. The subjects were 160 persons who had a check-up at the health promotion center in a university hospital in Tae-Gu, between September 8 and 22, 1998. The following instruments were used in the study : Lee Tae Wha's Health Promoting Life-style Profile, Park Chai soon's Self-efficacy Instrument and Moon Jeong Soon's Perceived Benefit and Barrier Instrument. Data was collected by self-reporting questionnaire. Analysis of the data was done by SAS program, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson-Correlation Coefficient. The results of this study were as follows. 1. The average score for the health-promotion behavior was 104.64. In the subcategories, self-actualization showed the highest degree of performance and physical exercise showed the lowest degree of performance. 2. In the relation of general characteristics of subjects to the level of health-promoting behavior, the male, the married, the group with several symptoms showed a high level of health-promoting behavior. 3. The relationship between the degree of performance in health-promotion behavior and its correlates were as follows: Self-efficacy was positively correlated to health promotion behavior, while the perceived barrier was correlated negatively. But the perceived benefit did not show a significant correlation with health promotion behavior. Results suggest that the development of programs with strategies to strengthen doing physical exercise and concerning health, increase self-efficacy and exclude the barriers to health promotion is recommended to individuals seeking a comprehensive health check-up.

  • The ultimate goal of health promotion programs is to improve the quality of life through promoting community health. Since the performance of health promotion programs are greatly affected by the quality of the planning and implementation process of the programs, the proper quality assessment of the program process is very important. According to existing literature, the tool for assessing the quality of the process and implementation as well as the outcome. However, no assessment tool for the quality of the process of health promotion programs has been developed in Korea. The purpose of the study is to develop a quality assessment tool for the process of health promotion programs being conducted at public health centers in Korea. The quality assessment tool developed in the study consists of the following four domains: strategic planning (14 items), program management (11 items), monitoring and evaluation (13 items), and resources and information (15 items). The strategic planning deals with the function of the planning staff and committees, community data analysis, the feasibility of the program, and the approach methods for attaining the goal of the program. The program management includes items on the qualification and power of the program staff. Monitoring and evaluation deals with the planning and education for monitoring, reporting and communication among program units, and feedback after monitoring. Finally, the resource and information covers the planning and activities for obtaining resources and information, community networking, beneficiaries' response, and consulting activity of the staff.

  • 생촉매인 효소의 기질선택성은 다양한 분야에서 유용하게 이용되고 있다. 그 중에서도 효소결합면역흡착검사(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA)는 항원항체의 결합을 항체와 공유결합된 효소의 반응으로 나타냄으로써 다양한 항원들의 진단을 가능케 했다. 하지만 기존의 효소결합면역흡착검사는 하나의 항체당 하나의 효소가 결합된 형태이기 때문에 감도(sensitivity)의 증가 폭에 그 한계가 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 하나의 항체당 결합된 효소의 수를 증가시킴으로써 혁신적인 감도의 향상을 가져오는 연구가 진행되었다. 최근 나노바이오촉매(nanobiocatalyst, NBC) 접근방식을 이용한 효소활성의 안정화는 효소결합면역흡착검사의 감도 향상뿐만 아니라 그 성능의 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 연구결과로 이어지고 있다. 본 총설에서는 일반적인 효소결합면역흡착검사의 기본적인 원리와 감도향상을 위한 연구, 그리고 성능안정성(performance stability)을 향상시키기 위한 나노바이오촉매-결합면역흡착검사(Nanobiocatalyst-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, NBC-LISA)에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

  • 최근 다수의 후 순위 사용자(Secondary User)가 각각의 검출 결과를 융합 센터(Fusion Center)에 보고하여 대역 검출의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 협력 대역 검출 기법이 이루어지고 있다. 또한 선 순위 사용자(Primary User)에게 할당된 주파수 대역을 융합 센터가 공유하는 인지 무선(Cognitive Radio)기술이 개발되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 분산 협력 대역 검출 환경에서 후 순위 사용자의 검출 정보가 융합 센터로 보고되는 채널의 오류 확률을 고려한 기존 분산 협력 대역 검출 기법의 성능 저하를 보완하는 새로운 분산 협력 대역 검출 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 분산 협력 대역 검출 기법의 오류 확률을 최소화 하는 검출 문턱값의 최적화 방법을 수식의 유도를 통해 제안하였다. 최적의 검출 문턱값은 분산 협력 대역 검출의 성능을 최대화 하는 것을 확인하였다.
