  • The development of online funeral services and social issues of eco-friendly funeral culture have raised awareness of the new need for online funeral culture. There have been several attempts to revitalize online funeral services in domestic institutions and companies, but the effect is weak. The purpose of this study is to propose a design that can improve the accessibility and usability of online memorial services by analyzing the usability problem factors through a First Time User Experience analysis of the online memorial platform. Therefore, in this study, in order to identify the problem factors of the online memorial platform, a literature review on the UX, OOBE, and FTUE theories was conducted. The subject of the study was the app 'Memorial'. Before analyzing the First-Time User-Experience, IA was compared and analyzed with other similar services to understand the characteristics of the UX service of the app 'Memorial', which is the subject of the study. In addition, tasks corresponding to the Unpack-Setup/Configure-First Use stage were performed on 10 subjects who had no experience using the online memorial platform. The experimental process was expressed as the UX Curve to identify factors that caused negative experiences. As a result, the major problem factors included unnecessary UI elements, the need for sensitive personal information at the membership stage, and lack of immersion in the service. The improvements included strengthening community functions to facilitate the sharing of emotions and promote smooth communication between users. We proposed UI/UX service developments that enhanced the app by incorporating these insights. In order to verify the effectiveness, serviceability, and value of the developed prototype, an interview with a expert was conducted. The interviewes consisted of three service design experts. This study was conducted to contribute to the quality improvement and activation of the recently emerging online funeral services. The study is significant as it aims to understand the current status of these services and identify the factors necessary to improve service accessibility and usability. Subsequent studies require in-depth user verification of how much the proposed improvement plan affects the actual user experience.

  • In this paper, we propose the authoring tools engine supported a 4 dimension display contents which serve display of high quality (UHD*250) curved using 4 dimension engine, which is a innovation technology by authoring tools of management software supported 4 dimension editing environment on curved flexible display. The important technology is as follows, the first, the authoring tools of 4 dimension viedo wall for a flexible high quality display(UHD*256) using multiscreen synchornization, the second implemented a bidirection interaction technology of UI/UX interface, which is established by 360 degree recognition sensor for digital signage, the 4 dimension viedowall flexible display with curve, the third, implemented the authoring tool software for various dimension electronic books first in the world.

  • This study was designed to investigate the effects of glipizide on the pharmacokinetics of carvedilol after oral or intravenous administration of carvedilol in rats. Clinically carvedilol and glipizide can be prescribed for treatment of cardiovascular diseases as the complications of diabetes, and then, Carvedilol and glipizide are all substrates of CYP2C9 enzymes. Carvedilol was administered orally or intravenously without or with oral administration of glipizide to rats. The effects of glipizide on cytochrome P450(CYP) 2C9 activity and P-gp activity were also evaluated. Glipizide inhibited CYP2C9 activity in a concentration-dependent manner with 50% inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 18 ${\mu}M$. Compared with the control group, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was significantly increased by 33.0%, and the peak concentration ($C_{max}$) was significantly increased by 50.0% in the presence of glipizide after oral administration of carvedilol. Consequently, the relative bioavailability (R.B.) of carvedilol was increased by 1.13- to 1.33-fold and the absolute bioavailability (A.B.) of carvedilol in the presence of glipizide was increased by 36.8%. After intravenous administration, compared to the control, glipizide could not significantly change the pharmacokinetic parameters of carvedilol. Therefore, the enhanced oral bioavailability of carvedilol may mainly result from inhibition of CYP2C9-mediated metabolism rather than both P-gp-mediated effl ux in the intestinal or in the liver and renal elimination of carvedilol by glipizide.
