  • Although CSV means pursuing social and economic values at the same time, research on consumer benefits recognized by consumers, the subject of economic value, is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of CSV activities of financial companies on purchase intention through consumer benefits and psychological distance for consumers. 265 copies of survey data were collected, and the research hypothesis was verified using SPSS 25.0 and Smart PLS 3.0. As a result of the analysis, first, fairness and authenticity had a positive (+) effect on both social and personal benefits. Second, it was found that the social and personal benefits subjectively perceived by consumers had a positive (+) effect on both purchase intention. Third, it was found that the social benefits perceived by consumers through CSV activities of financial companies had a positive (+) effect on purchase intention through psychological distance, but the mediating effect of personal benefits was not significant. Based on these research results, practical proposals were made to increase the efficiency of CSV activities by grasping the effect of consumers and purchase intentions on CSV activities of financial companies, and conclusions, implications, and future research directions were presented.

  • The use of 3-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming more common, and its use is increasing in the orthopedic surgery. Currently, there are four major methods of using 3D printing technology in orthopedic surgery. First, surgical planning simulation using 3D printing model; second, patient-specific surgical instruments; third, production of customized prosthesis using 3D printing technique; fourth, patient-specific prosthesis produced by 3D printing. The areas of orthopedic surgery where 3D printing technology can be used are shoulder joint, spine, hip and pelvis, knee joints, ankle joint, and tumors. Since the diseases and characteristics handled by each area are different, the method of using 3D printing technology is also slightly different in each area. However, using 3D printing technology in all areas can increase the efficiency of surgery, shorten the surgery time, and reduce radiation exposure intraoperatively. 3D printing technology can be of great help in treating patients with particularly complex and difficult orthopedic diseases or fractures. Therefore, the orthopedic surgeon should make the most of the benefits of the 3D printing technology so that patient can be treated effectively.

  • The disc cutter and cutterbit, which are the most important factors to increase the excavation efficiency of TBM, are key factors in the design and construction of the cutter head. The arrangement, spacing, number, size, and material of disc cutters suitable for the ground conditions determine the success or failure of TBM construction. The disc cutter, which is a representative consumable part in TBM construction, can cause enormous disruption to the construction cost as well as the construction cost unless accurate prediction of wear and replacement cycle is accompanied. Therefore, in this study, the method of calculating the replacement cycle of the disc cutter calculated at the time of design for the slurry shield TBM field, and the depth of wear and replacement location of the disc cutter that occurred during actual construction were compared by analyzing the field data. For a quantitative comparison, weathered soil/weathered rock, soft rock, and hard rock were classified according to the ground in the section showing constant excavation data, and the trajectory of circle was different depending on the location of the disc cutter, so it was compared and analyzed.

  • Remotely sensed data have been used in various fields, such as disasters, agriculture, urban planning, and the military. Recently, the demand for the multitemporal dataset with the high-spatial-resolution has increased. This manuscript proposed an automatic image matching algorithm using a deep learning technique to utilize a multitemporal remotely sensed dataset. The proposed deep learning model was based on High Resolution Net (HRNet), widely used in image segmentation. In this manuscript, denseblock was added to calculate the correlation map between images effectively and to increase learning efficiency. The training of the proposed model was performed using the multitemporal orthophotos of the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII). In order to evaluate the performance of image matching using a deep learning model, a comparative evaluation was performed. As a result of the experiment, the average horizontal error of the proposed algorithm based on 80% of the image matching rate was 3 pixels. At the same time, that of the Zero Normalized Cross-Correlation (ZNCC) was 25 pixels. In particular, it was confirmed that the proposed method is effective even in mountainous and farmland areas where the image changes according to vegetation growth. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed deep learning algorithm can perform relative image registration and image matching of a multitemporal remote sensed dataset.

  • In 1959, Satomura used spectral Doppler ultrasound to express the velocity of red blood cells according to time change, and Kato defined a zero-base line that could tell the direction of blood flow, making it possible to know the direction of blood flow. This became the basis for the widely used classifications of Triphasic, Biphasic, and Monophasic. However, the above classification has limitations that confuse users with the meaning and timing of use in a clinical environment. As a result, the American Society for Vascular Medicine (SVM) and the Society for Vascular Ultrasound (SVU) A consensus document on Doppler waveform analysis was declared by the joint committee. This study tried to review this consensus and to suggest nomenclature and modifiers that can be used in the domestic vascular ultrasound clinical field. The joint committee formed by SVM and SVU recommended that the use of the triphasic waveform and the biphasic waveform be used as a multiphasic waveform rather than being used due to the ambiguity of interpretation. In addition, it was agreed to name the hybrid-type waveform, which is a monophasic and high-resistance waveform, which has always been a problem of interpretation in a clinical environment, as an intermediate resistive waveform. In addition, in order to increase the communication efficiency between the interpreter and the sonographer, waveform analysis was classified into a main descriptor and a modifier, and it was recommended to use a single nomenclature by unifying various synonyms. It is expected that this literature review will provide accurate arterial spectral Doppler waveform interpretation and an agreed-upon nomenclature to radiologists performing vascular ultrasound examination in clinical practice, and will be utilized as basic data that can contribute to the improvement of public health.

  • Although the technology for prediction or analysis using artificial intelligence is constantly developing, a black-box problem does not interpret the decision-making process. Therefore, the decision process of the AI model can not be interpreted from the user's point of view, which leads to unreliable results. We investigated the problems of artificial intelligence and explainable artificial intelligence using Blockchain to solve them. Data from the decision-making process of artificial intelligence models, which can be explained with Blockchain, are stored in Blockchain with time stamps, among other things. Blockchain provides anti-counterfeiting of the stored data, and due to the nature of Blockchain, it allows free access to data such as decision processes stored in blocks. The difficulty of creating explainable artificial intelligence models is a large part of the complexity of existing models. Therefore, using the point cloud to increase the efficiency of 3D data processing and the processing procedures will shorten the decision-making process to facilitate an explainable artificial intelligence model. To solve the oracle problem, which may lead to data falsification or corruption when storing data in the Blockchain, a blockchain artificial intelligence problem was solved by proposing a blockchain-based explainable artificial intelligence model that passes through an intermediary in the storage process.

  • To improve the oxidative stability of Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract (GU), GU extraction conditions were optimized for maximal antioxidant activity, and GU-loaded nanocapsules were prepared by chitosan ionic gelation. The optimized ethanol concentration and extraction time were 83.0% and 32.6 min, respectively, using response surface methodology. The particle size of the GU-loaded nanocapsules ranged from 280 to 370 nm. A GU extract of 0.8 mg/mL and chitosan concentration of 2.0 mg/mL were selected as the optimal conditions for entrapment and loading efficiency. Both free GU and GU-loaded chitosan nanocapsules exhibited concentration-dependent antioxidant activity. However, the antioxidant protection factor of GU was effectively maintained when it was entrapped within the chitosan nanocapsules. In conclusion, chitosan nanoencapsulation is a potentially valuable technique for improving the oxidative stability of GU.

  • Nano-materials with high effective surface areas have been applied to functional materials, such as high sensitive gas sensors and biosensors and high-efficiency catalytic materials. In this study, titanate sheets with a 3D nano-wall-like structure, high effective surface area, were synthesized vertically to the substrate by a chemical bath deposition (CBD) process using a Ti sheet and urea. The synthesis temperature and synthesis duration time were controlled to the optimal conditions of a 3D nano-wall-like structure in the CBD process. The synthesized ammonium titanate sheets with a 3D nano-wall-like structure were annealed in air to transform to TiO2 with a 3D nano-wall-like structure for various applications. As a result, the optimal temperature in the CBD process for the synthesis of a uniform ammonium titanate sheet with a 3D nano-wall-like structure was 90 ℃. TiO2 with a 3D nano-wall-like structure was obtained from the ammonium titanate sheet with a 3D nano-wall-like structure by annealing above 550 ℃ for three hours. In particular, TiO2 with a 3D nano-wall-like structure with a dominant rutile phase was obtained by post-annealing at 700 ℃. On the other hand, damage to the 3D nano-wall edge was observed after 700 ℃ post-annealing.

  • In this paper, we suggest the method to improve the existing method leaning context-free grammar(CFG) using tabular representation(TBL) as a chromosome of genetic algorithm in grammatical inference and show the more efficient experimental result. We have two improvements. The first is to improve the formula to reflect the learning evaluation of positive and negative examples at the same time for the fitness function. The second is to classify partitions corresponding to TBLs generated from positive learning examples according to the size of the learning string, proceed with the evolution process by class, and adjust the composition ratio according to the success rate to apply the learning method linked to survival in the next generation. These improvements provide better efficiency than the existing method by solving the complexity and difficulty in the crossover and generalization steps between several individuals according to the size of the learning examples. We experiment with the languages proposed in the existing method, and the results show a rather fast generation rate that takes fewer generations to complete learning with the same success rate than the existing method. In the future, this method can be tried for extended CYK, and furthermore, it suggests the possibility of being applied to more complex parsing tables.
