Generally, real system that is the object of decision-making is very variable and sometimes it lies situations with uncertainty. To solve these problem, it has used statistical methods as significance level, certainty factor, sensitivity analysis and so on. In this paper, we propose a method for fuzzy decision-making based on MFAC(Multiple Fuzzy Alpha Cut) to improve the definiteness of classification results with similarity evaluation. In the proposed method, MFAC is used for extracting multiple a ${\alpha}$-level with proximity degree at proximity relation between relative Hamming distance and max-min method and for minimizing the number of data which are associated with the partition intervals extracted by MFAC. To determine final alternative of decision-making, we compute the weighted value between extracted data by MFAC From the experimental results, we can see the fact that the proposed method is simpler and more definite than classification performance of the conventional methods and determines an alternative efficiently for decision-maker by testing significance of sample data through statistical method.

There are a lot of influences, such as location of camera, luminosity, brightness, and direction of light, which affect the performance of 2-dimensional image recognition. This paper suggests an adaptive method for face-image recognition in noisy environments using evolvable filtering and feature extraction which uses one sample image from camera. This suggested method consists of two main parts. One is the environmental-adjustment module which determines optimum sets of filters, filter parameters, and dimensions of features by using "steady state genetic algorithm". The other another part is for face recognition module which performs recognition of face-image using the previous results. In the processing, we used Gabor wavelet for extracting features in the images and k-Nearest Neighbor method for the classification. For testing of the adaptive face recognition method, we tested the adaptive method in the brightness noise, in the impulse noise and in the composite noise and verified that the adaptive method protects face recognition-rate's rapidly decrease which can be occurred generally in the noisy environments.

The purpose of this study was to review meditation programs for stress relief of Korean nurses. Whittmore and Knafl's integrative review methods were used. The search yielded 97 articles, 7 of which met the criteria and were included in the review. One of the selected studies was a randomized controlled quasi-experimental design and six were a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Meditation programs varied from 5 to 8 sessions. All of the meditation programs measured the effect on stress as various meditation programs. However, there was one study confirming the degree of stress management maintenance after the end of the meditation program. Although there are contents to strengthen the practice and will of nurses, it was confirmed that it was difficult to evaluate sincerity. Therefore, a highly accessible program for nurses in various clinical situations and strategies to strengthen participants' practice and will needs to be included in the meditation program content.

댐은 일반적으로 하천관리에 있어서 인간에게 용수를 공급하고 홍수를 조절하는 등의 발전을 목적으로 건설되어 운영되고 있다. 그러나 하류하천은 댐 건설에 의해 흐름에 대한 연속성이 차단되어 첨두 홍수량과 유사량이 현저하게 감소한다. 첨두 홍수량의 감소로 퇴적된 유사는 이동하지 못해 고착화가 진행되고 식생이 침입하여 번성하게 된다. 하천에 식생이 발달하게 되면, 안정성이 증가하고 생태계 서식처를 형성하며 하천경관을 개선시키는 이점이 있다. 그러나 조도의 증가와 통수능의 감소로 인한 유속감소와 수위상승을 발생시켜 홍수범람을 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 상황에 대응하기 위해서는 식생대의 밀도에 따른 흐름을 분석하여 바람직한 하천관리방안 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 흐름모형을 활용하여 황강 합천조정지댐 직하류 구간의 수목군을 고려한 부정류 계산을 통해 하도의 수위 및 유속을 예측모의하는 방법론을 제시하고 모의결과를 분석하였다. 상류단 경계조건은 과거 집중호우로 인하여 대홍수가 발생하였던 2020년 합천조정지댐 방류량 중 첨두발생 기간의 유량을 입력하였으며, 하도의 식생밀도를 산정하고 입력하기 위해 현장조사를 수행하였다. 수치모의 시 식생밀도는 총 4가지 Case(식생현황, 전체벌채, 식생개선, 식생존치)로 나누어 모의를 수행하였다. 모의결과, 직하류 만곡부 유입구간에서 외측으로 흐름이 집중되어 수심과 유속이 증가하였으며, 만곡부 외측의 식생대로 인해 식생대에서는 유속이 감소하고 수심이 증가하며, 식생대 주변 하류의 내측으로 흐름이 집중되어 수심과 유속이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 합천조정지댐의 실운영방류량과 황강의 실제식생밀도를 반영하여 수치모의를 하였기 때문에 흐름과 식생관리에 따른 실무적 대책방안 마련에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 본 연구에서 활용한 분석방법과 결과들은 합리적인 하천관리방안을 구축하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As the uploading and downloading of data through the Internet is becoming more common, data including personal information are easily exposed to unauthorized users. In this study, we detect a target area in images that contain personal information, except for the background, and we protect the detected target area by using a blocking method suitable for the surrounding situation. In this method, only the target area from color image input containing personal information is segmented based on skin color. Subsequently, blurring of the corresponding area is performed in multiple stages based on the surrounding situation to effectively block the detected area, thereby protecting the personal information from being exposed. Experimental results show that the proposed method blocks the object region containing personal information 2.3% more accurately than an existing method. The proposed method is expected to be utilized in fields related to image processing, such as video security, target surveillance, and object covering.

Rate-of-return regulation where a regulator compensates the utilities based upon the cost incurred the regulated companies have the incentive to over-report cost level. However, in case of cost-based competition where a regulator knows the cost of each plant involved and induce the competition among them, one can encounter prisoner's dilemma situation in the short run where the regulated firms under-report cost level. For instance, in case of cost-based pool, a generator may have a strategic behavior to keep its registered variable cost higher than the actual level to maintain its operation rate and generation amounts higher. Eventually, however, such behavior decrease the profitability of a generator and discourage new entry jeopardizing required level of capacity reserves. This is a typical Prisoner's Dilemma situation. The power market operating rule should be revised so that generators' registered variable cost reflect actual level of variable cost.

Sketch-based interface is used more and more in developing animation contents. Particularly, there has been a system where the user's sketch inputs are interpreted and presented as live motions. In this study¸ it is to design an animated flight learning system using sketch-based interface. Most of the flights include movements in three-dimensional space and have unique and complex flight patterns. In other words, the actual flight movements not only include acceleration and deceleration, rising and falling, straight or circular flying, but also may include combinations of two or more movements as they simultaneously occur such as accelerating while falling, or slowing down while rising, and so forth. And, currently existing flight learning animation system cannot present such complex flight patterns to the pilots of aircrafts or to those personnel for air-traffic controllers. Hence, it is to be shown in this study that unit-path sketch animation method can support quicker ways to create animations to present those complex flight movements, and requires lesser inputs compared to the existing frame-based animation method. Also, the flight learning system suggested uses the flight-route realization tasks to reflect complex flight patterns, and therefore creates animations close to real as possible.

Due to COVID-19, much research has been conducted on learning loss and educational gaps due to the postponement of the start of school and prolonged online distance learning, and most of the research has focused on the phenomenon of educational gaps. If a pandemic situation like this occurs in the future, fundamental policies are needed to resolve the educational gap. A fundamental solution requires not only an understanding of the educational gap phenomenon, but also the structure behind the phenomenon. Therefore, from a structuralist perspective, this study sought to model the educational gap caused by COVID-19 as a prototype of systems thinking and identify its structure. In addition, we looked at the unintended consequences resulting from policies aimed at resolving existing educational gaps. In order to respond to similar disaster situations in the future, policies for resolving the digital gap, support for basic academic skills, quality improvement for distance learning, and self-directed learning were discussed based on the structure of this study.

사람들이 어떠한 행동을 할 때는 특정 의도를 가지고 있기 때문에 상황에 맞는 적합한 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 사용자가 현재 하고 있는 행동에 대한 의도를 파악해야한다. 이를 위해 의도와 행동사이의 연관성을 이용하여 사용자의 의도에 따른 행동의 모델을 만든다. 일상생활에서 사람들이 하는 행동은 작은 단위 행동들의 연속(sequence)으로 이루어지므로, 사용자의 단위행동의 순서를 분석한다면 의도에 따른 행동 모델을 만들기가 용이해진다. 하지만, 이런 단위 행동 분석 방법의 문제점은 같은 의도를 가진 행동이 완벽하게 동일한 단위 행동의 순서로 일어나지는 않는다는 점이다. 시스템은 동일한 동작 순서로 일어나지 않는 행동들을 서로 다른 의도를 가진 행동으로 이해하게 된다. 따라서 이 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 사용자 의도 파악 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 과거의 사용자의 행동 정보를 기반으로 행동들의 유사성을 판별하였고, 그 결과를 이용하여 행동의 의도를 파악하는 방법을 사용한다. 이를 위해, 과거 사용자가 한 행동들을 단위 시간 별로 나누어 단위 행동의 순서로 만들고, 이를 K-평균 군집화 방법(K-means)으로 군집들의 순서로 나타내었다. 이 변경된 사용자 행동 정보를 사용하여 은닉 마코프 모델을 학습 시키고, 이렇게 만들어진 은닉 마코프 모델은 현재 사용자가 행한 행동이 어떤 행동인지를 예측하여 사용자의 의도를 파악한다.

In this paper, we introduce clustering scheme to calculate probability of detection which is practically required for conventional weighted-collaborative sensing technique. We also propose an improved weighted-collaborative spectrum sensing scheme using new weight generation algorithm to achieve better performance in Cognitive Radio systems. We calculate Pd in each cluster which is a CR users group with similar channel situation. New weight factor is generated using square sum of all cluster's Pds. Simulations under slow fading show that we can get better total detection probability and lower false alarm rate when PU (Primary User) suddenly terminates their transmission.
