  • In the Paris Climate Agreement, Korea submitted an ambitious goal of reducing the greenhouse gas emission forecast (BAU) by 37% by 2030. And as one of the countermeasures, a smart grid, an intelligent power grid, was presented. In order to apply the smart grid, EMS(Energy Management System) needs to be installed and operated in various fields, and the supply is delayed due to the lack of awareness of users and the limitations of system ROI. Therefore, recently, various data analysis and control technologies have been proposed to increase the efficiency of the installed EMS. In this study, we present a measurement control algorithm that analyzes and predicts big data collected by IoT using a SARIMA model to check and operate energy consumption of public sports facilities.

  • This study aims to investigate relationships between lifestyle and benefit sought of rural healing tourists. For data collection, a total of 3,000 copies of questionnaires were collected by nationwide online survey. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 26.0. The factor analysis identified seven dimensions of the lifestyle : conservative, sports activity orientation, health orientation, consumption orientation, achievement orientation, adventure orientation, and personal orientation. Five dimensions of benefit sought were identified as psychological recovery, outdoor activities, rest, rural experience, and exercise. The results of the canonical correlation analysis indicated that adventure orientation of lifestyle and psychological recovery, outdoor activities, rural experience, exercise of benefit sought were highly correlated. This means it is important to place an emphasis on psychological recovery, outdoor activities, rural experience, and exercise for tourists looking for an adventure away from everyday life. Rural healing tourism marketers should consider lifestyle aspects as the most important factors affecting benefit sought of rural healing tourism.

  • [Purpose] Functional foods are thought to strongly influence the structure and function of the brain. Previous studies have reported that brain-boosting diets may enhance neuroprotective functions. Certain foods are particularly rich in nutrients like phytochemicals that are known to support brain plasticity; such foods are commonly referred to as brain foods. [Methods] In this review, we briefly explore the scientific evidence supporting the neuroprotective activity of a number of phytochemicals with a focus on phenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as flavonoid, olive oil, and omega-3 fatty acid. [Results] The aim of this study was to systematically examine the primary issues related to phytochemicals in the brain. These include (a) the brain-gut-microbiome axis; (b) the effects of phytochemicals on gut microbiome and their potential role in brain plasticity; (c) the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids in brain health; and (d) the effects of nutrition and exercise on brain function. [Conclusion] This review provides evidence supporting the view that phytochemicals from medicinal plants play a vital role in maintaining brain plasticity by influencing the brain-gut-microbiome axis. The consumption of brain foods may have neuroprotective effects, thus protecting against neurodegenerative disorders and promoting brain health.

  • As solve the shortage problems of storage space for exhibition facilities, the South Korean government is establishing plans to expand storage space for exhibition facilities. From a medium- to long-term perspective, an energy-efficient storage space for exhibition facility is needed to implement efficient state budget execution and achieve national greenhouse gas reduction goals. In this regard, this study analyzed the energy consumption of storage space for exhibition facilities according to the use of absorption materials. To this end, a case study was conducted on 12 storage spaces for exhibition facilities in South Korea. Compared to the storage space using the absorption material, the storage space without using the absorption material showed an increase in HVAC system operation time by 47.50% during summer periods and 58.85% in non-summer periods. In particular, the analysis found that in the case of storage for 'H' exhibition facility, the energy cost was reduced by 2,721,700 won/year after remodeling work using the absorption material. It is expected that the findings of this study can help the government and the person in charge from construction companies to construct energy-efficient storage space room for exhibition facilities.

  • Few studies investigated the effects of nutrition education and exercises in women with osteopenia. This study examined the relationship between changes in dietary intakes and changes in indicators related to bone health in postmenopausal women with osteopenia (-2.5 ${\leq}$ T-score ${\leq}$ 1) after a 12-week intervention. Thirty-one postmenopausal women aged > 50 years residing in Seoul were recruited and participated in nutritional education regarding bone health and general nutrition practices and aerobic exercises (three times a week; 60 min per session). Twenty-five subjects completed the study and were eligible for the analysis. Bone mineral density (BMD) at femoral neck was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Serum calcium, osteocalcin, and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) were also measured. Dietary intake was estimated by using a one-day 24 recall by a clinical dietitian. After 12 weeks, meat consumption increased (P = 0.028) but vegetable intake decreased (P = 0.005). Intakes of animal protein (P = 0.024), vitamin B1 (P = 0.012) and vitamin $B_2$ (P = 0.047) increased, and sodium intake decreased (P = 0.033). Intact PTH (P = 0.002) decreased and osteocalcin (P = 0.000) increased, however, BMD decreased (P = 0.000). Changes in mushroom consumption were positively correlated with femoral neck BMD (r = 0.673, P = 0.003). Changes in animal iron intake were negatively correlated with intact PTH (r = -0.488, P = 0.013) but were positively correlated with osteocalcin (r = 0.541, P = 0.005). These results suggested that the association between animal iron intake and biochemical markers of bone turnover may play an important role in bone metabolism. Further studies are needed to shed light on complicated mechanisms of diet, hormonal levels of bone metabolism, and bone density.

  • As more our society express their interests in strong and independent women on the onset of the 21st century when source of power shifts to knowledge and information, women with economic power are increasing in number, which is because demands for delicacy and objective Judgment known as unique qualities of woman who was deemed to be inferior to man in the past century are now in the rise in many professional sectors. The shift in public awareness of female image and capability is also being manifested recently by a new fashion style named New Women Power Dressing. Comparing the so-called new power dressing style with the female yuppie fashion of the 80s known to have marked the beginning of female power dressing, this study aims to define the uniqueness of women power dressing style of today, reanalyze the fashion style of today in reference to its predecessors and predict new fashion trend for the futurr. As a conclusion, both of the female yuppie style of the 80s and the new power dressing trend of the 2000s were found to stress manliness and showoff. Such characteristics were expressed in terms of focuses on both fitness and fashion style. However, the female yuppie look of the 80s and its successor of the 2000s showed significant difference in what they were intended to signify internally and how they were displayed externally.

  • In this paper, a parallel Input/Output modulo multiplier, which is applied to AOTP(All One or Two Polynomials) multiplicative algorithm over $GF(3^m)$, has been proposed using neuron-MOS Down-literal circuit on voltage mode. The three-valued input of the proposed multiplier is modulated by using neuron-MOS Down-literal circuit and the multiplication and Addition gates are implemented by the selecting of the three-valued input signals transformed by the module. The proposed circuits are simulated with the electrical parameter of a standard $0.35{\mu}m$CMOS N-well doubly-poly four-metal technology and a single +3V supply voltage. In the simulation result, the multiplier shows 4 uW power consumption and 3 MHzsampling rate and maintains output voltage level in ${\pm}0.1V$.
