With the development of information and communication technology, borders are removed and consumer needs are diversified, so a new consumption form called overseas direct purchase has emerged and has been growing over the past few years. In this study, for the most common purchasing agency service among various types of overseas direct purchase, an empirical study was conducted on the effects of the content and logistics attributes of the overseas direct purchase platform on the perceived value and purchase intention of consumers. Data were collected from 273 domestic male and female adult consumers who had experience in information search related to overseas direct purchase, and the results of statistical analysis were summarized as follows. First, among the attributes of overseas direct purchase content and logistics attributes, only the attractiveness of content had a significant effect on the perceived value of consumers. Second, all perceived values of consumers were linked to purchase intentions, but among them, sensory values had a greater influence. Through these research results, it is suggested to increase the attractiveness of the web/app contents of overseas direct purchase service agents, and to improve the quality of services that can arouse sensory consumption experiences to meet the changing needs of consumers.

It is reported that social distancing caused by the corona pandemic has resulted in a decrease in physical activity, and a decrease in muscle mass due to this increases the risk of vascular disease. Therefore, in this study, the risk of carotid intima media thickness was evaluated by measuring the thickness of CIMT, and the differences in variables according to gender were analyzed. From January 2022 to May 2022, a total of 220 people (121 males, 99 females) who performed blood tests, carotid ultrasound, and body composition analysis among those who visited the health check-up center of Busan H Hospital were included in this study. Significant differences in risk factors according to gender were analyzed using the chi-square test. The cut-off values of variables that can predict the risk of carotid intima media thickness were calculated, and the accuracy was evaluated by calculating the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity. As a result of the difference analysis, the higher the total cholesterol in men and the appendicular skeletal muscle index in women, the higher the risk of carotid intima media thickness. The cut-off value for predicting the risk of carotid intima media thickness was calculated to be greater than 199 mg/dL of total cholesterol in the male group and less than 5.9 kg/m² of the appendicular skeletal muscle index in the female group. As a result of this study, the higher the total cholesterol in men and the lower the appendicular skeletal muscle index in women, the higher the risk of increased CIMT. Therefore, in women, the appendicular skeletal muscle index is expected to serve as an indicator to predict and prevent vascular changes at an early stage.

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.

Among the various factors that form fonts, the concept of a new Korean font term called Inner Space Width was developed and the effect of changes in fonts applied to readability was analyzed. [Experiment 1] An empirical analysis was attempted on how the Korean-shaped Outer Space Width affects readability among the texts. Among the factors that make up the paragraph, Outer Space Width by letter size, letter size, letter spacing, letter spacing, and letter shape was composed of Yoon Myung-jo 110-160 and Inner Space Width of Yoon Myung-jo 110 was the widest at 26.83%. [Experiment 2] In-depth interviews with experts were conducted to derive factors and evaluation indicators constituting the inner space. Inner Space Width is evaluated as a complex factor that affects preference and fatigue, and is related to understanding and speed. This study empirically reviewed the effect on readability using the concept of Inner Space Width in the absence of existing research on Hangul-shaped fast space, and is expected to be actively used in the development of fonts in the future.

In order to reduce the absorbed dose given to the patient during dental radiography, a sensor that inserts a shield into the intraoralsensor was designed. Using the designed sensor, the change in absorbed dose depending on whether or not a shield was used was evaluated. The system used to evaluate the absorbed dose is VEX-S300C from Vatech, and the energy spectrum of X-rays was obtained through SPEKTR simulation based on the irradiation conditions of 65 kV, 3 mA, and 0.15 sec, and the number of photons for each energy was derived. After designing the system through Genat4 Application for Tomographic Emission(GATE) simulation, the energy spectrum obtained was used as a radiation source to calculate the absorbed dose. Lead was used for the shield, and simulations were performed at 0.1 mm thickness intervals from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm was evaluated. In the case of using an X-ray field with a diameter of 60 mm, the decrease in absorbed dose according to the presence or absence of a shield decreased exponentially as the thickness of the shield increased. In addition, when a 20 mm × 30 mm field was used, the absorbed dose was significantly reduced even when no shield was used, and it was confirmed that the absorbed dose was further reduced when a shield was used.

With the advent of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin in 2009, the paradigm of money, a means of payment, has been changing significantly. And it has a great impact on our daily lives. Thus central banks have attempted various analyzes on the issuance and impact of digital currencies including electronic payments but a study on which issuance method is suitable is insufficient. In this study, the issuance of digital currency was analyzed compared to the electronic payments which are currently used. As a result, the account-based model did not show any significant differences from the current RTGS(real-time gross settlement systems) and retail payment systems. But the token-based model is expected that it can improve the efficiency of finance and induce technological innovation in the financial field. However, it was analyzed that this model would weaken the intermediary function of financial institutions such as loans due to the characteristics of digital signature technology. In addition, in order to protect consumers against security attacks such as hacking and phishing of CBDCs, legal and institutional supports similar to the current electronic payment method are required, and continuous technology development efforts are also required for the CBDC issuance model to maintain convenience and anonymity equivalent to cash.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hemiplegia on weight shift when mediating task-oriented activities in stroke patients. To this end, from September to December 2019, 33 patients with stroke were randomly assigned and divided into 17 experimental groups and 16 control groups. The experimental group provided task-oriented activities, and the control group general occupational therapy was conducted 3 times a week, 35 minutes per session for a total of 4 weeks. The weight shift of the left and right body was evaluated by the MTD balance system, and an initial evaluation before intervention and a re-evaluation was performed after 4 weeks of intervention. The result were as follows: 1) When evaluating the pre- and post-intervention within the group, the weight shift to the hemiplegia side showed an improvement in the weight shift to the hemiplegia side in both the experimental group(p<.001), and control groups(p<.001, p<.05). 2) In the pre- and post-intervention evaluation between groups, the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in weight shift to the control group(p<.01, p<.05). Through future supplementary studies, it is thought that task-oriented activities in the treatment of stroke patients could be usefully applied to promote weight transfer to the paralysis side.
