Objectives: Prompt detection is a cornerstone in the control and prevention of infectious diseases. The Integrated Disease Surveillance Project of India identifies outbreaks, but it does not exactly predict outbreaks. This study was conducted to assess temporal correlation between Google Trends and Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) data and to determine the feasibility of using Google Trends for the prediction of outbreaks or epidemics. Methods: The Google search queries related to malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, and enteric fever for Chandigarh union territory and Haryana state of India in 2016 were extracted and compared with presumptive form data of the IDSP. Spearman correlation and scatter plots were used to depict the statistical relationship between the two datasets. Time trend plots were constructed to assess the correlation between Google search trends and disease notification under the IDSP. Results: Temporal correlation was observed between the IDSP reporting and Google search trends. Time series analysis of the Google Trends showed strong correlation with the IDSP data with a lag of -2 to -3 weeks for chikungunya and dengue fever in Chandigarh (r > 0.80) and Haryana (r > 0.70). Malaria and enteric fever showed a lag period of -2 to -3 weeks with moderate correlation. Conclusions: Similar results were obtained when applying the results of previous studies to specific diseases, and it is considered that many other diseases should be studied at the national and sub-national levels.

Objectives : The aim of this paper is to study the methodology for effectively analyzing the "Jinguiyaolue" prescriptions using database, and to explore possibilities of applying the data construction and query produced in the process to comparative research with other texts in the future. Methods : Using "Xinbianzhongjingquanshu(新編仲景全書)" as original script, the contents of "Jinguiyaolue" were entered into the database, in which one verse would be separated according to content for individual usage. Also, data with medicinal construction and disease pattern information of the previously constructed "Shanghanlun" database designed for comparison with other texts was applied for comparative analysis. Results : For input and analysis, 6 tables and 12 queries were made and used. Formulas were accessible by using herbal combinations, and applications of these formulas could be assembled for comparison. Formulas were also accessible by using disease pattern combinations, and combinations of herbs and disease pattern together were also applicable. In comparison with other texts, examples and frequency of usage of herbs could be relatively accurately compared, while disease patterns could not easily be compared. Conclusions : Herbal combinations, disease pattern combinations could yield related texts and herb/disease pattern combinations of the prescriptions in the "Jinguiyaolue", which shortened time needed for research among formulas in texts. However, standardization research for disease pattern is necessary for a more accurate comparative study that includes disease pattern information.

Many researches proposed federated query engines to perform query on several homogeneous or heterogeneous datasets simultaneously that significantly improve the quality of query results. The existing techniques allow querying only over a few heterogeneous datasets considering the static binding using the non-standard query. However, we observe that a simultaneous system considering the integration of heterogeneous metadata standards can offer better opportunity to generalize the query over any homogeneous and heterogeneous datasets. In this paper, we propose a transparent federated engine (DRAZ) to query over multiple data sources using SPARQL. In our system, we first develop the ontology for a non-RDF metadata standard based on the metadata kernel dictionary elements, which are standardized by the metadata provider. For a given SPARQL query, we translate any triple pattern into an API call to access the dataset of corresponding non-RDF metadata standard. We convert the results of every API call to N-triples and summarize the final results considering all triple patterns. We evaluated our proposed DRAZ using modified Fedbench benchmark queries over heterogeneous metadata standards, such as DCAT and DOI. We observed that DRAZ can achieve 70 to 100 percent correctness of the results despite the unavailability of the JOIN operations.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in public recognition of parabens on Twitter and the research status of parabens related to toothpaste. Methods: Tweet information between 2010 and October 2016 was collected by an automatic web crawler and examined according to tweet frequency, key words (2012-October 2016), and issue tweet detection analyses to reveal changes in public recognition of parabens on Twitter. To investigate the research status of parabens related to toothpaste, queries such as "paraben," "paraben and toxicity," "paraben and (toothpastes or dentifrices)," and "paraben and (toothpastes or dentifrices) and toxicity" were used. Results: The number of tweets concerning parabens sharply increased when parabens in toothpaste emerged as a social issue (October 2014), and decreased from 2015 onward. However, toothpaste and its related terms were continuously included in the core key words extracted from tweets from 2015. They were not included in key words before 2014, indicating that the emergence of parabens in toothpaste as a social issue plays an important role in public recognition of parabens in toothpaste. The issue tweet analysis also confirmed the change in public recognition of parabens in toothpaste. Despite the expansion of public recognition of parabens in toothpaste, there are only seven research articles on the topic in PubMed. Conclusions: The general public clearly recognized parabens in toothpaste after emergence of parabens in toothpaste as a social issue. Nevertheless, the scientific information on parabens in toothpaste is very limited, suggesting that the efforts of dental scientists are required to expand scientific knowledge related to parabens in oral hygiene measures.

Unlike existing Open APIs, Linked Data are made as a huge intelligent base to perform high-level SPARQL queries, and it is possible to create efficiently a new content by mashuping different information from various datasets. This paper implements a responsive web application for location-based semantic search. We mashup DBpedia, a kind of Linked Data, and GoogleMap API provided by Google, and provide a semantic browser function to confirm detail information regarding retrieved objects. Our system can be used in various access environments such as PC and mobile by applying responsive web design idea. The system implemented in this paper compares functional specifications with existing systems with similar functions. The comparison results show the superiority of our system in various aspects such as using semantic, linked-based browser, and mashup function.

Recent advances in the 4th Industrial Revolution have accelerated the change of the shopping behavior from offline to online. Search queries show customers' information needs most intensively in online shopping. However, there are not many search query research in the field of search, and most of the prior research in the field of search query research has been studied on a limited topic and data-based basis based on researchers' qualitative judgment. To this end, this study defines the type of search query with data-based quantitative methodology by applying machine learning to search research query field to define the 15 topics of search query by conducting topic modeling based on search query and clicked document information. Furthermore, we present a new classification system of new search query types representing searching behavior characteristics by extracting key variables through principal component analysis and analyzing. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the establishment of effective search services and the development of search systems.

Today, most data is stored in a database (DB). In the DB environment, the users requests the DB to find the data they wants. Similarity Query has predicate that explained by a similarity. However, in the process of processing the similarity query, it is difficult to use an index that can reduce the range of processed records, so the cost of calculating the similarity for all records in the table is high each time. To solve this problem, this paper defines a lightweight similarity function. The lightweight similarity function has lower data filtering accuracy than the similarity function, but consumes less cost than the similarity function. We present a method for reducing similarity query processing cost by using the lightweight similarity function features. Then, Chebyshev distance is presented as a lightweight similarity function to the Euclidean distance function, and the processing cost of a query using the existing similarity function and a query using the lightweight similarity function is compared. And through experiments, it is confirmed that the similarity query processing cost is reduced when Chebyshev distance is applied as a lightweight similarity function for Euclidean similarity.

With the development of web technology, large amounts of web documents are being produced. This web document contains various spatial texts, and by converting these texts into spatial information, it is the basis for searching for text documents with spatial query. These spatial texts consist of a wide range of areas, including postal codes and local phone numbers, as well as administrative place names and POI names. This paper presents algorithms that can map locations based on spatial text information existing within web documents. Through these algorithms, web documents can be searched for documents describing the region on a map rather than a general web search. In this paper, we demonstrated the presented algorithms are useful by implementing a web geo-text query system.

Currently, there are a total of 68 emergency rooms based on Seoul, South Korea, and there is a portal site that allows you to inquire the location of the emergency room, but it is difficult to use in an actual emergency situation because it consists of selecting a gu and a self-governing dong. In addition, it may be more efficient to go to the emergency room directly because you may miss the golden time necessary for survival in a situation where you call 119 and wait for the rescue team. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a service that can quickly search the location of the emergency room based on a specific location through various functions supported by MongoDB. After downloading emergency room location data based on Seoul Metropolitan City, storing it in MongoDB, processing the data through various processing techniques, and applying a spatial index, you can query the emergency room based on distance from a specific location in real time.

As deep learning technology was applied to various fields, research on adversarial attack techniques, a security problem of deep learning models, was actively studied. adversarial attacks have been mainly studied in the field of images. Recently, they have even developed a complete decision-based attack technique that can attack with just the classification results of the model. However, in the case of the audio field, research is relatively slow. In this paper, we applied several decision-based attack techniques to the audio field and improved state-of-the-art attack techniques. State-of-the-art decision-attack techniques have the disadvantage of requiring many queries for gradient approximation. In this paper, we improve query efficiency by proposing a method of reducing the vector search space required for gradient approximation. Experimental results showed that the attack success rate was increased by 50%, and the difference between original audio and adversarial examples was reduced by 75%, proving that our method could generate adversarial examples with smaller noise.
