In the age of continuous media change and the coexistence of multiple forms of media, the relationship between the public's media use and political participation is an urgent area of study. This paper makes use of large national sample surveys from 2002, 2011, and 2015, summarizes the change of the public's media use by descriptive statistics analysis, and finds that while the Internet has become an important communication channel, the use of Internet for political information and political participation is still overestimated. Compared to the weak impact of different media channels for political information on political participation, the frequency of media exposure and Internet use play a significant role in political participation. Because of the negative effect of the frequency of Internet use on political participation, the democratization function of the Internet needs to be treated with caution. This paper describes media use and its roles in contemporary China, analyzes the impact of media use on political participation, and extends the cross-cultural application of the theory of political communication.

Due to the aging of economically active population in the world, the average age of workers in the domestic construction industry is also steadily increasing. This study analyzes the aging of construction workers in small-size construction sites in Busan, where the aging of the economically active population is the most severe in Korea. As a result of the study on the aging of construction workers in six construction sites with a construction cost of less than 500 million won in Busan, it was found that 65% of the workers were over 50 years of age. In addition, several experts interviews and survey revealed that 'securing welfare facilities for construction workers' and 'diminishing prejudice about the construction industry" were the most urgent and effective methods to overcome the aging problems. The results of this study can be served as basic data to solve the aging problems in the industry.

Two main technologies of III-V/Si laser diode for optical communication, direct epitaxial growth, and wafer bonding were studied. Until now, the wafer bonding has been vigorously studied and seems promising for the ideal III-V/Si laser. However, the wafer bonding process is still complicated and has a limit of mass production. The development of a concise and innovative integration method for silicon photonics is urgent. In the future, the demand for high-speed data processing and energy saving, as well as ultra-high density integration, will increase. Therefore, the study for the hetero-junction, which is that the III-V compound semiconductor is directly grown on Si semiconductor can overcome the current limitations and may be the goal for the ideal III-V/Si laser diode.

In construction sites, policies are changing considering the convergence of 3D scanning and BIM. In order to respond to this, it is urgent to develop guidelines for systematic collaboration methods that take into account the perspectives of practitioners. By participating in the delivery process using 3D scanning technology, tasks such as ordering, field scanning are defined in terms of mutual communications. Also, the collaboration process is about communications between off-site and on-site, such as feed-back using data and documents. In the future, we will propose guidelines based on such collaborative process models.

Images of tobacco retail licenses have complex unstructured characteristics, which is an urgent technical problem in the robot process automation of tobacco marketing. In this paper, a novel recognition approach using a double attention mechanism is presented to realize the automatic recognition and information extraction from such images. First, we utilized a DenseNet network to extract the license information from the input tobacco retail license data. Second, bi-directional long short-term memory was used for coding and decoding using a continuous decoder integrating dual attention to realize the recognition and information extraction of tobacco retail license images without segmentation. Finally, several performance experiments were conducted using a largescale dataset of tobacco retail licenses. The experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves a correction accuracy of 98.36% on the ZY-LQ dataset, outperforming most existing methods.

As the capacity of renewable power generation facilities rapidly increases, the variability of electric power system and gas turbine power generation is also increasing. Therefore, problems may occur that require urgent repair while the gas turbine rotor is stopped. When the gas turbine rotor turning is stopped and then restarted, if the turning period is not appropriate, severe vibration may occur due to rotor bending. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that normal operation is possible when the gap data measured at the start of rotor turning after maintenance work is similar to the existing value. And the vibration value at the start of rotor turning was lower as the rotor temperature was lower or the stop period was shorter.

After the fire in Grenfell, a special fire safety survey was conducted, and the spirit of building fire safety is increasing. However, as can be seen from the fact that more than 80 people were injured in the Ulsan residential fire in 2020, there are no cases of making it a life safety standard for buildings, and there is an urgent need to investigate this. In this research, we will investigate the five fires that occurred in Grenfell, England, derive the problems, and use them as basic data for establishing the safety standards for Korean-style human life in the future.

During the construction work, many deaths and injuries have occurred in the formwork. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of construction workers about the disaster of formwork collapse. In this study, the IPA(Importance-Performance Analysis) technique was used to analyze the perception of construction workers and derive urgent factors for improvement. As a result of IPA analysis, the fourth quadrant factor needed to be improved first, and the second quadrant factor needed effort distribution. Therefore, it is judged that this study can be used as basic data for safety management and disaster prevention activities.

In order to prevent disaster risks caused by building aging in advance, the prevailing opinion is that it is urgent to actively improve systems such as mandatory safety inspections, and to calculate risks and develop safety management systems due to building aging. The need for systematic risk management continues to be emphasized in the process of safety inspection and repair of old buildings, but the risk management and safety management techniques of each construction entity have not been established in practice. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the vulnerability factors of aging buildings and provide basic data on the development of a risk rating calculation model for old buildings and the efficiency of safety management systems in the future.

The purpose of this study is to determine priorities for designing digital citizenship education based on the key indicators of importance-performance. Survey data were collected from 283 university students in South Korea and analyzed with Importance-Performance Analysis to diagnose the current level of digital citizenship and draw their needs for educational treatment. The results showed that for all the factors except the Technical Skills (TS), the level of importance was significantly higher than that of performance. Another finding indicated that in the Importance-Performance matrix all the factors were located in the first quadrant (i.e. maintaining the current state) and the third quadrant (i.e. low demands for improvement). Specifically, two items located in the second quadrant where urgent treatment is required could have to do with the increasingly active participation in socio-political issues raised in South Korea. This study offered a window into what to focus on when designing digital citizenship education based on the systematic analysis of the needs for digital citizenship education in South Korea.
