A 73-year-old Korean female patient with a fully edentulous mandible was planned to have five implant fixtures installed in the anterior mandible for the fixed prosthesis. After 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic scanning was transferred to OnDemand3D$^{(R)}$ (Cybermed Co., Seoul, Korea) software program for the virtual planning, five fixtures of MK III Groovy RP implants of Branemark System$^{(R)}$ (Nobel Biocare AB Co., Goteborg, Sweden) were installed in the anterior mandible between both mental foramens using In2Guide$^{(R)}$ (CyberMed Co., Seoul, Korea) mucosa-supported surgical template with Quick Guide Kit$^{(R)}$ (Osstem Implant Co., Seoul, Korea) systems. Fixture installations were completed successfully without any complications, such as mental nerve injury, bony bleedings, fenestrations and other unexpected events. Postoperative computed tomographic scans were aligned and fused to the planned implant, then angular and linear deviations were compared with the planned virtual implants. The mean angular deviation between the planned and actual implant axes was $3.42{\pm}1.336^{\circ}$. The mean distance between the planned and actual implant at the neck area was $0.544{\pm}0.290$ mm horizontally and $0.118{\pm}0.079$ mm vertically. The average distance between the planned and actual implant at the apex area was $1.166{\pm}0.566$ mm horizontally and $0.14{\pm}0.091$ mm vertically. These results could be considered more precise and accurate than previous reports, and even our recent results. The entire procedures of this case are reported and reviewed.

The current system of making course evaluations mandatory in universities in Korea in order to supplement low participation levels is a major hindering factor for the validity of the evaluation results due to students' insincere responses. This study points out the problems in course evaluations that are in the form of surveys and instead proposes a sample course evaluation system that utilizes a sample mean to deduce a population mean, attempting to prove through simulation that this is statistically significant. Thus, small, medium, and large scale courses as well as cyber courses that were available in S University in the fall 2016 semester were set as the population, and each course's evaluation average grade was set as the population mean. Furthermore, we used the average grade and standard deviation of the same courses from the previous year in order to decide the sample number, the reliability level was set as 95%, and the margin of error was set as ${\pm}0.25$. As a result of carrying out a simulation using the data analysis tool R, all the courses (small scale, medium scale, large scale, and cyber) showed to have a reliability level close to 95% including the population mean, and consequently practicality of the representative sample course evaluation system was proven.

This study has analyzed the situation and space structure of Chungcheong Region using the variables of land prices. The total amount of land prices of Chungcheon Region was 950 trillion KRW as of December 2013, showing that it has increased by 6.46 times compared to 147 trillion KRW of 1980, which was the time of initial analysis. As a result of analyzing the dynamic changes in the region based on the land prices from 1980 through 2013, there were significant changes in the space structures only in the 1980s. The analysis of centrality based on the land prices of Chungcheong Region has shown that the center of Chungcheong Region was to the northeast of Sejong City in the 1980s and moved to the right with the rise in the land prices of Daejeon Region. The standard deviation of distance showed concentration around Daejeon entering the 1990s from the 1980s, and almost no concentration has been found after that.

In order to get the precise blood pressure and pulse number in the cuffless status, the wrist wearable pulsimeter with a portable and small size apparatus using by Hall device is developed. The regression analysis of the pulse wave measured by the testing product of pulsimeter is conducted two equations of the blood pressure algorithm. The estimated values of blood pressure obtained by the cuffless pulsimeter during 5 s are compared with the practical values measured by electronic or mercury liquid blood pressure meters. The standard deviation of the estimated value and the practical value for the high blood pressure and the low blood pressure were 12.1 and 5.9, respectively, which have the neighborhood values of BP International Standard. The detail analysis of a pulse wave measured by cuffless wrist wearable detecting the changes of the magnetic field can be used to develop a new diagnostic algorithm of blood pressure applying for oriental medical apparatus like as the wrist wearable pulsimeter.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to, present basic data on the necessity of introducing assistant staff to support administrative tasks related to patient safety. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The participants (n=103) of this study were nurses, working at general and long-term care hospitals in Korea. Data were collected using structured questionnaires on August 29, 2019 and analyzed with SPSS 25.0. Specifically, data analysis was conducted using frequencies, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test, and X²-test. Results: Assistant staff was needed to support patient safety tasks, but this required nurses who could fully perform patient safety tasks by supplementing their work experience rather than employees who only support administrative tasks. This is because the hospital's patient safety management activities are difficult to distinguish between administrative tasks and patient safety tasks, and even nurses with five years of work experience, must be aware of the basic concepts and should have knowledge of patient safety and have gained experience in managing the patient safety activities. Conclusion: Hospitals are calling for an improvement in the system that increases the number of workers in charge of patient safety affairs and lowers their work experience, rather than the introduction of assistant staff who help with patient safety work.

Among the generative models in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) has been successful in various applications such as image processing, density estimation, and style transfer. While the GAN models including Conditional GAN (CGAN), CycleGAN, BigGAN, have been extended and improved, researchers face challenges in real-world applications in specific domains such as disaster simulation, healthcare, and urban planning due to data scarcity and unstable learning causing Image distortion. This paper proposes a new progressive learning methodology called Progressive Step Training (PST) based on the Auxiliary Classifier GAN (ACGAN) that discriminates class labels, leveraging the progressive learning approach of the Progressive Growing of GAN (PGGAN). The PST model achieves 70.82% faster stabilization, 51.3% lower standard deviation, stable convergence of loss values in the later high resolution stages, and a 94.6% faster loss reduction compared to conventional methods.

This study empirically analyzed the effect of perceived injustice on service recovery measures proposed by online food delivery service (OFDS) companies on consumer disappointment. This study adopted interaction justice, information justice, procedural justice, and distributive justice as sub-variables of justice perception based on the justice theory. In addition, the differences by generation (MZ generation and other generations) were examined in the relationship between negative word-of-mouth behavior and switching intentions due to service recovery failure. An online survey was conducted targeting 250 adult consumers in the U.S for the empirical analysis of this research model. The results of the data analysis demonstrated that negative perceptions about the procedural justice and distributive justice among the service recovery strategies had a positive effect upon the consumer's disappointment. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the consumer's disappointment due to the perceived injustice of the service recovery strategy had a positive effect on the consumer's negative word-of-mouth behavior and switching intentions. The verification results of the moderation effect in the relationship between negative word-of-mouth behavior and switching intention, it was found that the younger the age(MZ generation), the higher the possibility of causing dysfunctional behavior. This study expands the scope of related research by presenting a new perspective on the justice perception in the service recovery process by verifying dysfunctional behavior of consumers caused due to the failure of the service recovery strategy. It is believed that the results of this study will be used as basic data for the establishment of practical strategies for OFDS companies to prevent double defection of their customers.

This study developed a portable respiratory training device to improve breathing stability, which is an important element in using the CyberKnife Synchrony respiratory tracking device, one of the typical Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) devices. It produced an interface for users to be able to select one of two displays, a graph type and a bar type, supported an auditory system that helps them expect next respiration by improving a sense of rhythm of their respiratory period, and provided comfortable respiratory inducement. By targeting 5 applicants and applying individual respiratory period detected through a self-developed program, it acquired signal data of 'guide respiration' that induces breathing through signal data gained from 'free respiration' and an auditory system, and evaluated the usability by comparing deviation average values of respiratory period and respiratory amplitude. It could be identified that respiratory period decreased $55.74{\pm}0.14%$ compared to free respiration, and respiratory amplitude decreased $28.12{\pm}0.10%$ compared to free respiration, which confirmed the consistency and stability of respiratory. SBRT, developed based on these results, using the portable respiratory training device, for liver cancer or lung cancer, is evaluated to be able to help reduce delayed treatment time due to respiratory instability and improve treatment accuracy, and if it could be applied to developing respiratory training applications targeting an android-based portable device in the future, even use convenience and economic efficiency are expected.
