Recently, women astronomers have played increasingly important roles in the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Although only 18% are women across the entire membership of the IAU, currently one half of the IAU Executive Committee members are female. In fact, the previous, current, and next presidents of the IAU and many of the Division presidents are women. I will review a variety of efforts that the IAU has carried out to pursue equality and diversity in Astronomy. Also I will share my personal experience and thoughts on meritocracy as a guiding principle that governs academic integrity and scholarly power system in scientific communities in Korea.

This paper presents a new hybrid soft switching dc-dc converter with a low circulating current and high circuit efficiency. The proposed hybrid converter includes two sub-converters sharing two power switches. One is a three-level PWM converter and the other is a LLC converter. The LLC converter and the three-level converter share the lagging-leg switches and extend the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) range of the lagging-leg switches from nearly zero to full load since the LLC converter can be operated at f_sw (switching frequency) $\approx$ f_r (series resonant frequency). A passive snubber is used on the secondary side of the three-level converter to decrease the circulating current on the primary side, especially at high input voltage and full load conditions. Thus, the conduction losses due to the circulating current are reduced. The output sides of the two converters are connected in series. Energy can be transferred from the input voltage to the output load within the whole switching period. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed converter is verified by experiments with a 1.44kW prototype circuit.

Zero-sequence Circulating Current (ZSCC) flows inevitably in parallel converters that share common DC and AC sources. The ZSCC commonly flowing in all converters increases loss and decreases the overall capacity of parallel converters. This paper proposes a simple and effective ZSCC suppression method based on the Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) with the ZSCC controller. The zero-sequence voltage for the proposed SVPWM is calculated on the basis of the grid voltage and not on the phase voltage references. The limit of the linear modulation region of the converters with the proposed method is analyzed and compared with other methods, thereby proving that the limit of the region can be extended with the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified through the experimental setup comprising four parallel three-level converters. The ZSCC is confirmed to be well suppressed, and the linear modulation region is extended simultaneously with the proposed method. Moreover, the proposed control method does not require any communication between the converters to suppress the ZSCC unlike other conventional methods.

In order to increase the capacity of the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL), the current and voltage grades of the SFCL must be increased. As a method for the increase of the current and voltage grades of the SFCL, we compared the various characteristics between the flux-lock type SFCL "With three superconducting units connected in series and the transformer type SFCL using the transformer with three secondary circuits. One of three superconducting units had not quenched in the flux-lock type SFCL. Therefore, the unbalanced power burden happened because of the voltage difference generated by unbalanced quenching between the superconducting units. In the meantime, the three superconducting units were all quenched in the transformer type SFCL using the transformer, and the voltage difference generated between the superconducting units was decreased. Therefore, the difference of critical characteristics was complemented by distribution of fault current in accordance with the turn's ratio between primary and secondary windings. The unbalanced power burden of the superconducting units was reduced due to flux-share between the superconducting units in the transformer. In conclusion, the capacity increment of the SFCL using a transformer was easier due to equal distribution of voltages generated by simultaneous quench of the superconducting units. We think that the characteristics is improved more because of the decrease of saturation in the iron core if the secondary winding is increased in the SFCL using the transformer.

This paper presents a 1.92 kW resonant converter for medium voltage applications that uses low voltage stress MOSFETs (500V) to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on. In the proposed converter, four MOSFETs are connected in series to limit the voltage stress of the power switches at half of the input voltage. In addition, three resonant circuits are adopted to share the load current and to reduce the current stress of the passive components. Furthermore, the transformer primary and secondary windings are connected in series to balance the output diode currents for medium power applications. Split capacitors are adopted in each resonant circuit to reduce the current stress of the resonant capacitors. Two balance capacitors are also used to automatically balance the input capacitor voltage in every switching cycle. Based on the circuit characteristics of the resonant converter, the MOSFETs are turned on under ZVS. If the switching frequency is less than the series resonant frequency, the rectifier diodes can be turned off under zero current switching (ZCS). Experimental results from a prototype with a 750-800 V input and a 48V/40A output are provided to verify the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

When a competent employee leaves an organization, the technical skills and know-how possessed by that employee also disappear, which may lead to various problems, such as a decrease in organizational morale and technology leakage. To address such problems, it is important to increase employees' job satisfaction. Due to the advancement of both information and communication technology and social media, many former and current employees share information regarding companies in which they have worked or for which they currently work via job portal websites. In this study, a web crawl was used to collect reviews and job satisfaction ratings written by all and incumbent employees working in nine industries from Job Planet, a Korean job portal site. According to this analysis, regardless of the industry in question, organizational culture, welfare support, work system, growth capability and relationships had significant positive effects on job satisfaction, while time and attendance management, performance management, and organizational flexibility had significant negative effects on job satisfaction. With respect to the path difference between former and current employees, time and attendance management and organizational flexibility have greater negative effects on job satisfaction for current employees than for former employees. On the other hand, organizational culture, work system, and relationships had greater positive effects for current employees than for former employees.

사물인터넷(IoT)은 데이터의 융합과 공유 기능을 제공하며, 다양한 첨단 기술이 함께 융복합되어 새로운 서비스를 창출하는 데 있어서 가장 근간이 되는 핵심 기술 분야이다. 하지만, 사물인터넷에 대한 분류 체계가 제각각이며 국내 공공분야를 대상으로 한정 지었을 경우 실제로 어느 정도의 점유율로 어떤 기기 등이 설치되어 운영되고 있는지에 대한 현황을 제대로 파악하기가 어려울 정도로 체계화된 자료나 연구 결과를 발견하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사물인터넷 기기에 대한 분류 체계를 매출액과 출하량 및 성장률에 근거하여 현실에 맞게 관련성을 분석한 후 이를 토대로 국내 공공기관을 대상으로 실제 IoT 기기의 점유율 등을 상세 분석하였다. 도출된 분석 결과는 앞으로 IoT 기기에 대한 악성코드 공격 대응, 침해사고 분석 및 보안 취약성 강화 등 정보보호 기술 고도화를 위한 연구 분석용 IoT 기기를 선정하는 과정에서 효율적으로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

현재 정책은 대역폭 공유에 대하여 평균 처리량을 높이고 로컬 네트워크의 대역폭 사용률을 향상시킨다. 하지만 이러한 정책은 각각 네트워크 흐름에 대역폭을 할당해주는 중앙 관리에서 사용자 특성 기반의 리소스를 할당 할 수 없다. 따라서 사용자 특성기반의 서비스를 보장하지 않기 때문에 불평등한 대역폭 할당이 발생된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 제한된 대역폭 네트워크에서 대역폭을 공유하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 이상적인 퍼지 시스템을 사용하여 제한된 장치의 현재 사용량에 따른 대역폭 요청여부를 추전하고 결정한다. 본 논문에서는 OPNET의 비디오 스트리밍 시뮬레이션과 WebRTC의 실시간 비디오 스트리밍으로 구성된 두 가지 실행을 수행한다. 수행한 실험 결과를 통해 제안 된 방법이 네트워크 환경에서 사용자의 요구사항을 기반으로 대역폭 사용을 유연하게 공유 할 수 있다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
