Artificial intelligence, which is developing as the core of an intelligent information society, is bringing convenience and positive life changes to humans. However, with the development of artificial intelligence, human rights and property are threatened, and ethical problems are increasing, so alternatives are needed accordingly. In this study, the most controversial artificial intelligence ethics problem in the dysfunction of artificial intelligence was aimed at researching and developing artificial intelligence ethical measurement indicators to protect human personality rights and property first under artificial intelligence ethical principles and components. In order to research and develop artificial intelligence ethics measurement indicators, various related literature, focus group interview(FGI), and Delphi surveys were conducted to derive 43 items of ethics measurement indicators. By survey and statistical analysis, 40 items of artificial intelligence ethics measurement indicators were confirmed and proposed through descriptive statistics analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis for ethical measurement indicators. The proposed artificial intelligence ethics measurement indicators can be used for artificial intelligence design, development, education, authentication, operation, and standardization, and can contribute to the development of safe and reliable artificial intelligence.

Ethical and technical problems are becoming serious as the industrialization of artificial intelligence robots becomes active, research on risk is insufficient. In this situation, the researcher developed 52 verified indicators that can measure the body, rights, property, and social risk of artificial intelligence robots. In order to develop measurement indicators for each type of risk of artificial intelligence robots, 11 experts were interviewed in-depth after IRB deliberation. IIn addition, 328 workers in various fields where artificial intelligence robots can be introduced were surveyed to verify their fieldwork, and statistical verification such as exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis was verifyed to measure validity and reliability. It is expected that the measurement indicators presented in this paper will be widely used in the development, certification, education, and policies of standardized artificial intelligence robots, and become the cornerstone of the industrialization of artificial intelligence robots that are socially sympathetic and safe.

The goal of the education of Information Communication Ethics(ICE) is to improve the consciousness level of adolescents so that they themselves are able to judge between what's ethically right and wrong and, as a result, to take the right behavior. For this, we need to preferentially identify the primary factors in understanding and diagnosing the consciousness level of adolescents on the ICE. To solve this problem, in this paper, we identified four major indices that consist of the ICE consciousness through the meta analysis of the both domestic and international researches from the past 5 years in the related area and then, they are validated by experts. We also analyzed the factors in assessing the ICE consciousness level of adolescents by using the Delphi technique, which, during its analysis, even considers elements that are qualitative or cannot be objectified. Finally we deduced 22 ICE factors given the weight through the AHP of an expert group that consists of experienced teachers and professors in the related area.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opinion survey data quality used in theses and to suggest the data quality evaluation model. We used 16 items which were suggested by KASR(Korean Association for Survey Research) as a standard of survey data quality evaluation in thesis. According to the result, the data quality used in the theses is very poor level not to be accepted. And we tried difference tests between two proportions in order to find there were significant differences among stochastical variables. The result showed that there were some significant differences in sampling error and number of analyzing method between doctor and master. we suggested a model that was weighted by 9 special items for a survey data quality evaluation in a thesis by observing them from KASR's principles.

Changes in the distribution and sharing information using the Internet is changing the most part in our daily life, Utilizing the Internet of our lives to the rapid development of IT technology, are living in the off-line (off-line) and online (on-line) a mix of life, We expect now online life specific gravity is further increased. However, do not systematically implement the education of Internet ethics awareness deficiencies of objective indicators to assess the current knowledge level of the Internet ethics is the actual situation. Therefore, in this paper, it provides a development process in order to establish a common standard for the evaluation of Internet ethics index. Development procedure of Internet ethics index in order to establish a common standard, "evaluation item (draft) derivation", "Creating a questionnaire", "the calculation of the analysis and item-by-item weight of the questionnaire", and a common reference determination of the stage having. Was also a questionnaire that target 46 people to calculate the weight of the common reference. Internet ethics index evaluation model through the establishment of the common standards developed in this paper, municipal road Office of Education, related organizations, high school, such as small, medium, can be utilized as an indicator to measure the Internet ethics education level.

In the present knowledge and information society, every citizen can enjoy benefits of various advanced technologies such as information and communication technology(ICT) and smart technology. Nowadays everybody has to have some level of information literacy and application ability in order to enjoy benefits from various advanced technologies. In additions, knowledge and practice will about information and communication ethics are also required for all. Currently we need some kind of standards to evaluate and model everybody's information literacy and application capability. In this sense, information culture index has been developed to check information literacy and application capability of every citizen for various aspects of daily life. Information culture index consists of three standards, that is, application, awareness, and norm, respectively. Application standard indicates how information contents and skills are generalized for all. In other words, it is concerned with how every citizen can understand information literacy and use information skills in his or her daily life. Awareness standard is concerned with how well everyone can respect and trust others in the current information culture community. Norm standard is concerned with how everyone can use information communication services according to his or her desirable sense of information and communication ethics. The purpose of this paper is to analyze correlation between academic background and three standards of information culture index, that is, application, awareness, and norm. For this purpose, we use 2-year national survey works for information culture. After thorough statistical analysis, we can conclude that, awareness and norm standards do not show a meaningful correlation with academic background while application standard shows a meaningful correlation with academic background, It means that, the higher academic background one has, the higher application standard one can achieve. We expect that our correlation analysis results can be helpful to spread of information education and information culture in the future.

최근 우리나라의 암 발생률은 꾸준히 증가추세에 있고 그 중에서도 전립선암은 갑상선암을 제외했을 때 남성에서 가장 높은 증가 추세를 보이고 있는 암이다. 전립선암은 그 동안 선진국에서 주로 발병하는 것으로 알려진 암 종이지만 서구화된 식습관과 생활 행태 변화로 인하여 국내에서도 발생률이 증가하는 것으로 추정하고 있다. 따라서 국내 환경에 맞는 내장 지방 분포와 같은 정확한 비만도 측정을 통해 우리나라에서 증가율 1위를 보이고 있는 전립선암 발생의 원인 관계를 찾고자 한다. 본 연구는 환자와 정상군 비교를 하는 환자-대조군 연구이고 본 연구를 위하여 임상시험 윤리위원회 (IRB) 승인을 받았다 (NCC2014-0124). 환자군은 2014년 8월 1일부터 2015년 1월 6일 까지 국립암센터를 방문하여 전립선암을 진단받고 수술과 항암치료 그리고 방사선 치료를 시작하지 않은 초진을 대상으로 하였고, 정상군은 2009년 11월부터 2014년 9월 30일까지 공단검진을 목적으로 국립암센터를 방문한 정상인을 대상으로 하였다. 전립선암 연구는 환자 총 52명에 평균 66세 (51 - 82세)이고 정상군은 총 50명에 평균 64세 (59 - 75세) 이다. 모든 연구 대상자들의 생활 요인 평가를 위하여 암 가족력, 흡연, 음주 상태, 운동, 등을 추가적으로 설문 조사하였다. MRI 영상의 배꼽 주위에서의 내장 지방과 피하지방을 전용 분석 컴퓨터를 활용하여 측정 하였다. 복부비만율은 환자군과 정상군에서뿐만 아니라 (p = 0.03), 전립선암 악성도와 (Gleasonscore; p = 0.001)도 통계적 차이를 나타냈다. 하지만 BMI 결과와는 전립선암 발생과 악성도에서 무관함을 보인 것에 반해 허리둘레는 전립선암의 발생에 영향을 미치는 결과를 나타났다. 한편 전립선암의 또 다른 악성도 지표인 PSA는 비만 측정치와의 상관성이 Gleason score와 보다 대체적으로 낮게 나타났다. 학력, 운동량, 흡연, 음주 상태와 같은 생활 특성에 따른 전립선암 발생의 영향 관계는 뚜렷하지 않았다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해서 전립선암의 발생 위험도와 악성도 지표로 복부 비만도가 유용함을 나타냈고 간단한 신체 계측 지표 활용으로는 BMI보다 허리둘레 측정치가 더 암 발생의 연관성이 높음을 보였다.
