Recently, the value of video as an important data of medical information technology is increasing due to the feature of rich clinical information. On the other hand, video is also required to be de-identified as a medical image, but the existing methods are mainly specialized in the stereotyped data and still images, which makes it difficult to apply the existing methods to the video data. In this paper, we propose an automated system to index candidate elements of personal identification information on a frame basis to solve this problem. The proposed system performs indexing process using text and person detection after preprocessing by scene segmentation and color knowledge based method. The generated index information is provided as metadata according to the purpose of use. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, the indexing speed was measured using prototype implementation and real surgical video. As a result, the work speed was more than twice as fast as the playing time of the input video, and it was confirmed that the decision making was possible through the case of the production of surgical education contents.

Specialists have developed pillows that take into account sleep science and ergonomics, such as comfort for lying on your side. This pillow is made of natural latex material, and improved resilience after a certain period of time. A new idea was added to the pillow, which was naturally used for sleep, but could it add additional features for health care. Here, health care targets sleep apnea, which is known to be associated with serious illness. The purpose of this paper is to design a comprehensive service that uses a pressure sensor and a voice sensor to obtain information and to identify abnormal symptoms related to diseases from this information and to refer them to a specialist. It also covers the basic design and implementation to confirm the success of this system. Based on this design, the information obtained will be converted into a DB, and a server system for consultation with a specialist will be completed to upgrade the role of assistive health devices for sleep apnea.

The influence of bus stops near signalized intersections is one of the important factors which cannot be negligible in the analysis of the capacity of signalized intersections. Absence of consideration of bus bay can reduce capacity and increase the time that the stop of buses block other traveling vehicles. This influence is reflected by the bus blockage adjustment factor in KHCM, but the factor does not consider the course of each bus passing the intersection. Particularly, left turn buses have more influence on the capacity than the other buses and require the minimum length of the road for lane changes. All the existing criteria can apply only to arterial roads on which mostly traffic flows are continuous. And the criteria. which can determine the optimum location and the minimum distance between a signalized intersection and a bus bay, is not prepared and the related study is insufficient. Therefore, a theoretical formula is derived in this study being based on the theories which are avaliable to apply to the situation of signalized intersections.

As the result of correlation, the viewing rate of terrestrial broadcasting programs has a little bit affect on online VOD use. In addition, WOM(word of mouth) and online referral importantly influences to the picking with online VOD drama. The great popularity of main actors on drama affect a little bit the viewing of VOD drama but doesn't perfectly affect on it. However, the drama which is performed by great popular actors has positive affect on VOD use. This study result shows that the using of video depends on the effect of WOM, referral and commercial. The casting of a great popular actors plays role of the safeguard which affects viewing rate and add-value. That means the casting of a great popular actors doesn't connect with the success of release but the tool of defense from loss of profit.

한중 맥진기 관련 학술 교류와 맥진기 수출을 위한 전략으로 중국의 광주중의약대학 중의사를 대상으로 맥진과 맥진기에 대한 인식을 조사하여 보고하는 바이다. 임상에서 가장 중요하게 생각하고 활용도가 높은 전통적인 병증으로 장부병증과 팔강병증으로 나타났으며, 한방 진단방법 중 가장 중요하게 생각하고 활용하는 방법으로 문진과 맥진으로서, 그 이유는 진단 효율성과 환자와의 상담으로 나타났다. 또한 임상에서 한방 진단기기의 중요한 이유로는 측정기술과 데이터의 신뢰를 들었으며, 중요하지 않다고 생각하는 이유로는 측정기술과 데이터의 신뢰성 부족과 전통적인 진단법을 보조하기엔 적합하지 못함을 들었다. 진단방법 중에서 맥진의 중요도와 활용도는 75%가 가장 높게 나타났고, 맥진법 중에서 가장 잘 활용하는 부위는 촌구맥진법으로 나타났다. 촌구 맥진시 가장 중요하게 생각하는 요소는 환자의 자세와 손목 높이와 촌관척 부위였으며, 단안(單按)과 총안(總按)의 순서는 총안(總按)후 단안(單按)이 단연 우수하였다. 임상의 중요 맥상으로는 부침(浮沈)을 들었으며, 맥상 형성 기전과 표준화 연구에 가장 적합한 연구 방법론은 위수형세론에 입각한 문헌 연구와 병증별 맥상에 대한 임상 데이터 구축으로 나타났다. 그리고 대표적인 노인 특유의 맥상은 미세약맥이었으며, 그 이유는 노화로 인한 체력저하와 기혈부족을 들었다. 그리고 맥진기와 연계하는 만성 생활습관병 병증지표 연구개발에 가장 적합하다고 판단되는 병증 체계는 장부병증이었으며, 질병은 고혈압과 동맥경화증으로 나타났다. 또한 임상에서의 활용도와 유의성이 높은 맥진기로써의 주된 기능으로는 오장육부 상태 진단을 들었으며, 맥진기의 임상적인 활용도를 높일 수 있는 현대적인 임상 분야는 심혈관 질환이 가장 높게 나타났다. 맥진기 개발에 선행되어야 할 기반연구로는 촌관척 부위 찾기의 기준 확립과 임상 변증과의 관계 확립으로 나타났으며, 제공 받고자 하는 맥상 정보구성은 환자의 맥상명과 맥상 정도와 환자의 맥상에 따른 병증명 제시로 나타났으며, 제공되는 병증 서비스로는 장부병증이 가장 높게 나타났다.

Presently, there is the blind of about 20~300,00 people including didn't register in Korea Usually, they used white stick when they walk outside. There is the blind receiving the help of the guide dog but a small number of blind uses due to many composite problems including the cost problem, and etc. Presently, the guidance service aid long for the blind which is commonly used adheres the RFID tag to the white stick. It remains at the level of the extent of making the cover block and RF communication by using this. The recognition distance is short. This is the actual condition in which it is difficult to determine the location of the clear obstacle and size and form, it doesn't become the help which is actually big in the walk of the blinds. Thus, in this paper, the investigation of 'Smart Portable Navigation System' development of the Cortex-A8 Platform base tries to be handled so that the blinds can walk easily.

Augmentative and alternative communication(AAC) is a communication tool for those with impairments or restrictions on the production or comprehension of spoken language. Traditional AAC has used a portable board with pictures and texts with which disabled person could be supported by it. Currently, smart phone based AAC researches and developments are actively studying. With emerging concepts of context-aware computing, the mobile devices can provide mobile users with timely information and location based services. We proposed a adjustable AAC system for disabled people of which has variable layouts and selectable items. We also implemented context-ware application for AAC systems including time, location and click count informations on smart phone. The system can adaptively change its layout and select AAC items depending on various situation of disabled persons.

This study focused on the emergency evacuation guidelines considering the behaviors of people with disabilities in Korea. For these purposes, this study reviewed the movement behaviors of people with disability and the treatment characteristics of emergency and hazards in United States. The results are as follows. First, it is necessary to suggest establishment requirements and building design guidelines considering the behaviors of inhabitants and the occupant load in social welfare facility for people with disabilities. Second, it is important to establish disaster preparedness and evacuation planning in emergency and hazards reflecting the movement behaviors of people with disabilities in national organizations and institutions on disability. Third, periodical emergency and fire drills are necessary for people with disabilities and should be managed considering the impaired prototypes, evacuation aids and service animals.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify how an education program on palliative care affects nursing home caregivers' perception of hospice care and attitude towards terminally ill patient care. Methods: This study was conducted using a nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design. The participants were 101 certified care workers: 58 in the experimental group and 43 in the control. The experimental group completed the palliative care education program consisted of 20 hours of classroom training and 20 hours of clinical practicum. An ANCOVA was performed to compare the score changes to outcome variables. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significant pretest-posttest differences in both the perception of hospice care (F=21.09, P<0.001) and attitude towards caring for terminally ill patients (F=13.28, P<0.001). Conclusion: These results indicate that the palliative care education program for caregivers is effective in preparing participants to provide hospice/palliative care service. Further study is warranted to explore the effects of this program on palliative caregivers' performance.
