글로벌 물시장 동향을 살펴보면 ① 첨단 기술기반의 글로벌, ② 운영관리 시장의 확대, ③ 물기업의 토털 솔류션화(제조+건설+엔지니어링+운영관리), ④ 기후변화 대비 신규시장 형성 등 글로벌 물산업의 트렌드가 전환되고 있다. 특히 4차산업 혁명 기술과 코비드19의 영향으로 이러한 변화는 물산업 선도국가 및 선도기업의 정책·전략에 있어 지역별 특성과 분야별 물시장의 특성을 반영한 전략목표 재설정 및 재수립이 요구되고 있다. 한편 국내 물시장은 2020년 기준 상·하수도 보급률, 각각 98.7%, 94.5% 수준을 달성했음에도 불구하고. 해외시장 진출에 있어서는 미미한 수준에 머물고 있다. 따라서 국내 물산업의 지속적 발전을 위해서는 포화된 국내 시장을 벗어난 신시장 발굴이 필요한 상황이며, 국가별 상황에 대한 실태조사와 목표 시장별 분석을 통해 국가별, 분야별 맞춤 진출전략을 수립해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 물기업의 유럽지역(프랑스/스페인) 진출 활성화를 위해 각 국가별 상황에 부합하는 목표 시장별 차별적 전략 도출을 위해 국가별 물시장 동향 및 전망, 진출목표 분야를 분석함으로써 국내 물기업의 프랑스/스페인 물시장 진입전략 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In the post-epidemic era, COVID-19 has not yet been fully controlled. Wearing masks is still the main means of epidemic prevention, and the negative effects brought by masks continue to continue. Wearing a mask for a long time can cause two problems. The first problem is hypoxia, and the other is an increase in psychological stress. To reduce the negative impact of masks, this paper proposes a new breathing mode. It is the "Umm~" vocal breathing mode, which simultaneously solves the two problems of hypoxia and increased stress. This paper explores the reasons why new breathing patterns can relieve stress. Explains the relationship between HRV and stress index and uses SDNN as an indicator to detect stress index to confirm the effectiveness of this breathing pattern. Experimental results prove that the "Umm~" vocal breathing mode can not only relieve the stress induced by wearing a mask. And when not wearing a mask, it can also be used to relieve daily stress. This method that anyone can easily implement should be more popularized.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scholars at institutions of higher education around the world are transitioning their teaching, service, and research into online settings; for many this may be a new and challenging experience. While many of the best practices associated with research in traditional or face-to-face settings also apply to research in or via online settings, there are some additional challenges and nuances that researchers must adequately address and plan for due to the affordances and limitations of online settings. This paper discusses the key issues of privacy, informed consent, trust and trustworthiness, and retention through the literature and provides practical recommendations based on evidence and experience from two different online research projects. The reflections on and examples from these two research projects contextualize the above issues and act as evidence to inform research as a practice. The authors hope this evidence and practical guidance may help researchers better prepare for research in a socially distanced world.

Telehealth has been a hotly debated health policy issue in South Korea, mostly because the medical community - especially primary care practitioners - have strongly opposed it. As a result, telehealth has remained forbidden under law. However, the temporary permission of telehealth in Korea, as well as its exploding use in other countries, all in response to COVID-19, is re-igniting the discussion on telehealth in Korea. This article explores general legal issues that may arise if and when telehealth is fully implemented in Korea. The article's analysis shows that legislative changes are necessary to allow reimbursement of telehealth as well as remote purchase of medicine. The article also advocates introducing new evidentiary rules to curtail covert recording of telehealth sessions. On the other hand, additional legislation is probably not necessary to address the medical liability of physicians practicing telehealth or to adress much-discussed privacy issues. The existing laws in those domains are already robust enough to operate without much difficulty in the context of telehealth too.

In this paper, the author found and analyzed the problems caused by the change of traditional teaching methods to online in classrooms and laboratories. Looking at the analysis of major problems, first, there were various technical problems, including not all environments and facilities being connected to the Internet. Second, the effectiveness of virtual classes, which were suddenly switched online, could also be questioned. Finally, in the face of a new environment, the stress of teachers to adapt rapidly to the new teaching methodology was a problem. The author proposed digital transformation as a way to address these problems. The author analyzed educational changes, learning modalities and various technical tools, and various tasks to enable digital transformation. First, the author investigated, analyzed, and presented the factors necessary to efficiently operate the classroom environment that will change to online. Next, the author analyzed the factors and problems needed to make the students' classes reliable and efficient, and proposed solutions. Finally, the author pointed out the problem that during online lectures, the responsibility of learning is excessively transferred from teachers to students, and proposed a solution to this problem. Subsequently, the author proposed future studies.

Wearing a mask is also necessary to limit the risk of infection in today's era of COVID-19 and wearing a helmet is inevitable for the safety of personnel who works in a dangerous working environment such as construction sites. This paper proposes an effective deep learning model, HelmetMask-Net, to classify both Helmet and Mask. The proposed HelmetMask-Net is based on CNN which consists of data processing, convolution layers, max pooling layers and fully connected layers with four output classifications, and 4 classes for Helmet, Mask, Helmet & Mask, and no Helmet & no Mask are classified. The proposed HelmatMask-Net has been chosen with 2 convolutional layers and AdaGrad optimizer by various simulations for accuracy, optimizer and the number of hyperparameters. Simulation results show the accuracy of 99% and the best performance compared to other models. The results of this paper would enhance the safety of personnel in this era of COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to explore elderly women's experience of the convergent tea culture therapy program when they use day care centers, ultimately getting a better understanding of such experience. For the purpose, the study made profound interviews with 4 old women who experienced the convergent tea culture therapy program from its start to final session. That program was provided by H day care center located in P city. And then, this research analyzed data from those interviews by using the phenomenological methods. As a result of the analysis, the study could divided the surveyed female elders' experience of the above mentioned program largely into 4 categories, which are, 'getting away from daily routines', 'feeling as if I'm the queen when having tea', 'finding myself feeling younger with tea', and 'feeling the true sense of happiness with tea'. With this result taken into serious consideration, this study suggested that more attention and intervention be urgently needed in the field of senior welfare practices, especially leisure activity for elders which is currently in trouble due to the covid-19 crisis.

Currently, due to Covid-19, non-face-to-face activities are underway in various fields, and non-face-to-face education is also necessary in the education field. In this paper, we develop and utilize a metaverse-based realistic education platform that combines the latest realistic 3D technology and XR interactive technology to enhance students' understanding of the latest technology and strengthen their educational capabilities. To this end, we understand the main technologies of metaverse in terms of education, investigate contents and application cases of education using metaverse, and compare them with the proposed realistic educational platform. In the future, non-face-to-face education is expected to account for an important portion, and more effective learning is expected through the metaverse-based realistic educational platform developed in this paper when instructor lectures the MZ generation in a virtual world called metaverse.

Covid-19 calls for minimizing gatherings of people in spaces such as offices. Organizations are encouraging information-sharing activities among employees by using online platform technology. Recently, Organizations are supporting their work using the metaverse. This study confirms the effect of metaverse presence on the intention to share knowledge by forming the intrinsic motivation of the employees and the moderating effect of the individual's digital technological competence. We presented research hypotheses through previous studies such as virtual reality and tested the hypotheses using 309 samples obtained through surveys. As a result, the social, tele, and self presence of the metaverse increased organizational-related intrinsic motivation(organizational identification, value congruence) and had a positive effect on the intention to share knowledge. In addition, digital technological competence moderated the relationship between value congruence and intention to share knowledge. This study suggests the importance of strategies to enhance the presence of metaverse for organizations to increase work productivity by using metaverse and the need to support individual digital competence reinforcement.

With a long-lasting pandemic of COVID-19, we have faced unprecedented socioeconomic threats. The regulation of human exchange has exposed us not only to the threat of health and medical care problems, but also to the burden of the contraction of economic activity. The outbreak of COVID-19 did give us an opportunity to reexamine the social safety net which has been prepared for such crisis situations. The current study, in this vein, aims to investigate the impact of evaluations of social safety nets on the trust in government and on individual willingness to accept tax increases. To this end, this study has explored the data from a survey conducted on 1,000 adult men and women across the country (South Korea) in May, 2020, when COVID-19 has entered a pandemic phase. The analysis result then has shown that the evaluation of social safety net after the outbreak of COVID-19 had a positive impact on the trust in the government, which in turn led to the increase of the willingness to accept tax increases. Moreover, the positive impact of trust in government on the willingness to accept tax increases has been more amplified when the income level was increased. These results could contribute to laying the theoretical foundation for restructuring the policies and systems for the post COVID-19 era.
