Since the first commercialization of beacon-based services in 2011, various services have been provided to improve Bluetooth performance, and research has been conducted to accurately recognize user locations using beacons. The various measurement methods of indoor positioning systems (IPS) include methods using receiver signal strength indicator (RSSI) the strength of which varies greatly in accuracy depending on whether there are obstacles such as cement walls or doors. In this paper, we present a method to provide accurate positioning services even in the presence of obstacles in indoor spaces. To this end, we connect the HM-10 module supporting the beacon with Arduino Uno, to place beacons in three directions in real-world indoor space, and derive an optimal trilateration equation. Based on the derivation, we select the optimal expression for calculating the distance between the beacon and the moving station and use it to verify the coordinate determination for the moving station.

The estimated breeding value (EBV) and accuracy of Hanwoo steer (Korean cattle) is an indicator that can predict the slaughter time in the future and carcass performance outcomes. Recently, studies using pedigrees and genotypes are being actively conducted to improve the accuracy of the EBV. In this study, the pedigree and genotype of 46 steers obtained from livestock farm A in Gyeongnam were used for a pedigree best linear unbiased prediction (PBLUP) and a genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) to estimate and analyze the breeding value and accuracy of the carcass weight (CWT), eye muscle area (EMA), back-fat thickness (BFT), and marbling score (MS). PBLUP estimated the EBV and accuracy by constructing a numeric relationship matrix (NRM) from the 46 steers and reference population I (545,483 heads) with the pedigree and phenotype. GBLUP estimated genomic EBV (GEBV) and accuracy by constructing a genomic relationship matrix (GRM) from the 46 steers and reference population II (16,972 heads) with the genotype and phenotype. As a result, in the order of CWT, EMA, BFT, and MS, the accuracy levels of PBLUP were 0.531, 0.519, 0.524 and 0.530, while the accuracy outcomes of GBLUP were 0.799, 0.779, 0.768, and 0.810. The accuracy estimated by GBLUP was 50.1 - 53.1% higher than that estimated by PBLUP. GEBV estimated with the genotype is expected to show higher accuracy than the EBV calculated using only the pedigree and is thus expected to be used as basic data for genomic selection in the future.

The purpose of this research is to accurately estimate the location of a device using the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of IEEE 802.11 WLAN for location tracking in indoor environments. For the location estimation method, we adopted the calibration model. By applying the Adaptive Zone Based K-NNSS (AZ-NNSS) algorithm, which considers the velocity of devices, this paper presents a 9% improvement of accuracy compared to the existing K-NNSS-based research, with 37% of the K-NNSS computation load. The accuracy is further enhanced by using a Kalman filter; the improvement was about 24%. This research also shows the level of accuracy that can be achieved by replacing a subset of the calibration data with values computed by a numerical equation, and suggests a reasonable number of calibration points. In addition, we use both the mean error distance (MED) and hit ratio to evaluate the accuracy of location estimation, while avoiding a biased comparison.

This paper proposes a hierarchical dual filtering (HDF) algorithm to estimate the spatial region between a Cloud of Things (CoT) gateway and an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The accuracy of the spatial region estimation is important for autonomous CoT clustering. We conduct spatial region estimation using a hidden Markov model (HMM) with a raw Bluetooth received signal strength indicator (RSSI). However, the accuracy of the region estimation using the validation data is only 53.8%. To increase the accuracy of the spatial region estimation, the HDF algorithm removes the high-frequency signals hierarchically, and alters the parameters according to whether the IoT device moves. The accuracy of spatial region estimation using a raw RSSI, Kalman filter, and HDF are compared to evaluate the effectiveness of the HDF algorithm. The success rate and root mean square error (RMSE) of all regions are 0.538, 0.622, and 0.75, and 0.997, 0.812, and 0.5 when raw RSSI, a Kalman filter, and HDF are used, respectively. The HDF algorithm attains the best results in terms of the success rate and RMSE of spatial region estimation using HMM.

The performance of diagnostic test accuracy is usually summarized by a variety of statistics such as sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, likelihood ratio, and kappa. These indices are most commonly presented when evaluations of competing diagnostic tests are reported, and it is of utmost importance to compare the accuracies of diagnostic tests to decide on the best available test for certain medical disorder. However, it is important to emphasize that specific point values of these indices are merely estimates. If parameter estimates are reported without a measure of uncertainty (precision), knowledgeable readers cannot know the range within which the true values of the indices are likely to lie. Therefore, when evaluations of diagnostic accuracy are reported the precision of estimates should be stated in parallel. To reflect the precision of any estimate of a diagnostic performance characteristic or of the difference between performance characteristics, the computation of confidential interval (CI), an indicator of precision, is widely used in medical literatures in that CIs are more informative to interpret test results than the simple point estimates. The majority of peer-reviewed journals usually require CIs to be specified for descriptive estimates, whereas domestic veterinary journals seem less vigilant on this issues. This paper describes how to calculate the indices and associated CIs using practical examples when assessing diagnostic test performance.

Background : Blood pressure is an important indicator in diagnosis and assessing treatment of a patient. Clinical staffs use blood pressure on the assumption that measured value is accurate and reliable. However, whether measured blood pressure is accurate has been rarely investigated in Korea. Objectives : The aims of this study are to evaluate clinical staffs' knowledge and technique as well as accuracy of sphygmomanometer. Also the program to improve the measurement is developed. Methods : Seventy-three registered nurses were asked nine multiple choice questions including Korotkoff sound, cuff size, and deflation rate. Simultaneously characteristics of nurses were examined, age, working place, duration of employment and academic degree. A testing videotape(Standardizing Measurement Video-Tutored Course) was used for evaluating the accuracy of measurement. Testees were to read and record the 12 cases of blood pressure measurement, watching a falling mercury column and hearing Korotkoff sounds. After 10 minutes' education, they were again tested with the same cases. Additionally, 83 mercury sphygmomanometers were checked to find defects such as inaccurate calibration and zero setting, leaky bladder, etc. Results: For the knowledge testing correct response rate was 41.1%. They were the lowest in selecting the proper cuff size and Korotkoff sound. In examining accuracy of blood pressure with videotape, nurses had 67.7% correct response rate. The correct response rate was significantly improved by a session of education. About 23% of sphygmomanometers was without discernable defects. Conclusion : The knowledge and skill of clinical staffs along with the accuracy of equipment have to be improved. A properly designed education program would contribute to the accuracy improvement of blood pressure measurement. Also, more concerns should be given to the precision and maintenance of equipment.

Human-Computer Interaction(HCI)에 대한 관심도가 높이지면서, HCI에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 더불어 사용자의 몸짓이나 음성을 이용하는 Natural User Interface/Natural User eXperience(NUI/NUX)에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. NUI/NUX의 경우, 제스처 인식이나 음성 인식 등의 인식 알고리즘이 필요하다. 하지만 이러한 인식 알고리즘은 전처리, 정규화, 특징 추출과 같은 단계를 거쳐야하기 때문에 구현이 복잡하고, 트레이닝에 많은 시간을 투자해야 한다는 단점이 있다. 최근에는 NUI/NUX 개발 도구로 Microsoft 사의 Kinect가 개발되어 개발자와 일반인들에게 많은 관심을 받고 있고, 이를 이용한 다양한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 저자들의 이전 연구에서도 사용자의 신체적 특징을 이용하여 뛰어난 직관성을 가진 핸드 마우스를 구현하였다. 하지만 마우스의 움직임이 부자연스럽고 정확도가 낮아 사용자가 사용하기 다소 어려웠다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Kinect를 통해 사용자의 신체적 특징을 실시간으로 추출하고, 이를 이용해 가상 모니터라는 새로운 개념을 추가한 핸드 마우스 인터페이스를 설계하고 구현하였다. 가상 모니터는 사용자의 손으로 마우스를 제어할 수 있는 가상의 공간을 의미한다. 이를 통해 가상 모니터 상의 손의 좌표를 실제 모니터 상의 좌표로 정확하게 매핑(mapping)이 가능하다. 가상 모니터를 사용함으로써 이전 연구의 장점인 직관성을 유지하고, 단점인 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 추가적으로 뇌파 집중 지표를 이용해 사용자의 불필요한 행동을 인식하여 핸드 마우스 인터페이스의 정확도를 높였다. 제안하는 핸드 마우스의 직관성과 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 10대부터 50대까지 50명에게 실험을 하였다. 직관성 실험 결과로 84%가 1분 이내에 사용방법을 터득하였다. 또한 동일한 피실험자에게 일반적인 마우스 기능(드래그, 클릭, 더블클릭)에 대해 정확성 실험을 한 결과로 드래그 80.9%, 클릭 80%, 더블 클릭 76.7%의 정확성을 보였다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 핸드 마우스 인터페이스의 직관성과 정확성을 확인하였으며, 미래에 손으로 시스템이나 소프트웨어를 제어하는 인터페이스의 좋은 예시가 될 것으로 기대된다.

건설경기의 순환적 현상을 분석하기 위해서는 연간조사 통계자료의 속성까지 포함된 월별 벤치마킹 건설지표를 사용하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 왜냐하면 벤치마킹된 지표는 정확성, 일치성, 비교성, 완전성 등의 측면에서 통계품질이 향상된 것으로 기대되기 때문이다. 이 논문에서는 보다 정확한 것으로 간주되는 연간 단위의 통계자료와 단기변동 특성을 보유한 월간 속보지표를 활용하여 월별 건설지표를 추정하는 벤치마킹 방법들을 연구하였다. 벤치마킹이란 연간통계와 월간통계의 일치성을 보장하면서 두 통계의 단기적 및 순환적 현상과 장기추세를 모두 보유하도록 월간통계를 조정하는 방법이다. 벤치마킹 기법으로는 수치조정 접근방법인 비례배분법, 비례덴톤법, BFL BI 비율법, HP - filter BI 비율법과 모형기반 접근방법인 Chow & Lin 방법, $Fem{\acute{a}}ndez$ 방법을 고려하였다. 또한 실제 통계자료를 가지고 벤치마킹된 건설지표를 추정하였으며, 이러한 벤치마킹 방법들을 실증적으로 비교 평가하였다. 계절적 변동 및 불규칙 변동이 심한 건설지표의 경우에 모형기반 접근방법보다는 수치조정 접근방법이 보다 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 수치조정 접근방법으로는 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 비례덴톤법이 무난하지만, 연간통계의 조사오차 또는 측정오차를 감안하면 HP - filter BI 비율법도 고려해 볼 수 있을 것이다.

BACKGROUND: Contaminated water was a major source of food-borne pathogens in various recent fresh produce-related outbreaks. This study was conducted to investigate the microbial contamination level and correlations between the level of sanitary indicator bacteria and the detection ratio of pathogens in agricultural water by logistic regression analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Agricultural water was collected from 457 sites including surface water (n=300 sites) and groundwater (n=157 sites) in South Korea from 2018 to 2020. Sanitary indicator bacteria (total coliform, fecal coliform, and Escherichia coli) and food-borne pathogens (pathogenic E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes) were analyzed. In surface water, the coliform, fecal coliform, and E. coli were 3.27±0.89 log CFU/100 mL, 1.90±1.19 log CFU/100 mL, and 1.39±1.26 log CFU/100 mL, respectively. For groundwater, three kinds of sanitary indicators ranged in the level from 0.09 - 0.57 log CFU/100 mL. Pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes were detected from 3%-site, 1.5%- site, and 0.6%-site water samples, respectively. According to the results of correlations between the level of sanitary indicator bacteria and the detection ratio of pathogens by logistic regression analysis, the probability of pathogen detection increased individually by 1.45 and 1.34 times as each total coliform and E. coli concentration increased by 1 log CFU/100mL. The accuracy of the model was 70.4%, and sensitivity and specificity were 81.5% and 51.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION(S): The results indicate the need to manage the microbial risk of agricultural water to enhance the safety of fresh produce. In addition, logistic regression analysis is useful to analyze the correlation between the level of sanitary indicator bacteria and the detection ratio of pathogens in agricultural water.
