Medicine is one of great application fields where Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been successfully utilized. The VR technologies in medicine bring together an interdisciplinary community of computer scientists and engineers, physicians and surgeon, medical educator and students, military medical specialists, and biomedical futurists. The primary feedback of a VR system has been visual feedback. The complex geometry for graphic objects and utilizing hardware acceleration can be incorporated with in order to produce realistic virtual environments. To enhance human-computer interaction (HCI), in term of immersive experiences perceived by users, haptic, speech, olfactory and other non-traditional interfaces should also be exploited. Among those, hapic feedback has been tightly coupled with visual feedback. The combination of the two sensory feedbacks can give users more immersive, realistic and perceptive VR environments. Haptic feedback has been studied over decades and many haptic based VR systems have been developed. This paper focuses on haptic feedback in term of its medical usages. It presents a survey of haptic feedback techniques with their applications in medicine.

In this experimental study, we have analyzed aerodynamic performance of the four representative types of passenger car vehicles, different types of side window angles, different types of engine hood angles, and the angle difference of the roof line in order to comprehensively analyze how the aerodynamic performance varies with different shape of vehicle. Experiment results showed that the rear window falling at aa certain angle lowered aerodynamic performance, angle difference of the lowered roof line did not affect aerodynamic performance, and the back window line falling at certain angles had no visible effect on aerodynamic performance. Back window line leaning towards front side may help enhance styling aesthetics, but aerodynamic performance decreased. In case of rear diffuser installation, aerodynamic performance also decreased.

The purpose of this study was to define and clarify the concept of Shared decision-making (SDM) in patients with chronic disease. Walker and Avant's concept analysis process was used to analyze interdisciplinary convergence in SDM. SDM in patients with chronic disease can be defined by the following attributes: acknowledgment patients as 'self-care experts', the rights of self-determination, reversible negotiation, and patient-centered care. The antecedents of SMD consisted of situations where there is a need to make a decision from several treatment options of similar efficacy, decisional conflict, patient, family, and health provider's willingness to participate in the decision-making process, enough time and opportunity for SDM. The consequences occurring as a result of SMD were decrease decisional conflict, improvement health outcome, satisfaction, quality of life, enhancement self-management and self-efficacy with long-term, and living acceptably with the illness. Based on these results, a scale measuring SDM in patients with chronic disease is needed.

This is a study of reputation from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. To start a theory building process in PR, Tall Puppy scale is examined using dominance hierarchy and reputation hierarchy. Tall Puppy scale is a measure toward highly successful, thus famous people. when they fall. The result showed that Koreans have negative attitude toward famous people 8times more and prefer their fall than Austrailians. The number one variable to explain the psychology of reputation hierarchy was self-esteem. It was strongly correlated with reputation hierarchy attitude. People with higher self-esteem were more generous about famous figures when people with low self-esteem prefer more the fall of tall puppies. A discussion for reputation hierarchy theory is followed.

This study utilized minimum number of demographic variables and first-semester GPA of students to predict the final academic status of students at a vocational college in Seoul. The results from XGBoost and LightGBM models revealed that these variables significantly impacted the prediction of students' dismissal. This suggests that early academic performance could be an important indicator of potential academic dropout. Additionally, the possibility that academic years required to award an associate degree at the vocational college could influence the final academic status was confirmed, indicating that the duration of study is a crucial factor in students' decisions to discontinue their studies. The study attempted to model without relying on psychological, social, or economic factors, focusing solely on academic achievement. This is expected to aid in the development of an early warning system for preventing academic dropout in the future.

While relatively many researches have been performed on the legal issues of leverage buyout(LBO) in the Korean capital market, the on-going 'interdisciplinary studies' between the legal and the financial aspects of LBO financing structure seems to be relatively few so far. In this particular study, the concept and major financing structures on LBO have been discussed, by which domestic investors including institutional investors, may acquire in-depth knowledge on the issue given the dynamically changing circumstances surrounding the Korean domestic capital market. Moreover, legal analyses related to the conventional case studies on two types of LBO structures such as 'asset-backed LBO' and 'merger-related LBO', have been illustrated, coupled with the review of the previous literature on mergers & acquisitions(M&A) related to the financial aspects of LBO financing structure. From the director's perspective, who is employed by an acquired firm, legal issues in terms of 'fiduciary duty' and 'duty of loyalty' have been discussed, along with the logical scope of 'business judgement principle' in terms of modern finance theory.

This paper considers the historicity and aesthetical implications of in the art world of Paul Ryan(1943-2013) who designed the aestheticization of relational circuit of society by realizing the value of social transformation being inherent in video with cultural practices and suggesting the interdisciplinary method of leaning and research in the early video art history. To do this, in Chapter II, I review the first artwork presented firstly in the art gallery exhibition "TV as a Creative Medium" in 1969, in which Ryan proposed a video medium as a communication system and experimented the concept of 'feedback' in Cybernetics. And Chapter III focuses Ryan's discursive activities contributed to magazine Radical Software and artist-collective Raindance Corporation with growing interest in communication technology. At this time, Ryan regarded video medium as the tool for cybernetic expansion. Finally Chapter IV deals with the development of ecological method based on "a shared perception of environmental realities" and verifies Ryan's vision that video medium would be most effective means of social change and communication.

In spite of the registration on the world heritage in UNESCO the principal statue of Sakyamuni in Seokguram Grotto is considered that its worth doesn't reach to its fame. The exact name of the statue does not establish yet and the statue has insufficient of storytelling or narrative structure on it. Regarding these issues the statue need to enhance the real value of it. This study pursue reconsidering the status of the principal statue compare to general statue of the Buddha and searching for the originality and archetype as a Buddha in Seokguram Grotto. Descriptive method is adopted as a approach to this theme with preceding research analysis and reference research. As a result various alternatives are drew back as a countermeasure. One thing is a government leading system of research and development the other is it need to increase the fame of Sakyamuni statue in Seokguram Grotto with a n interdisciplinary approach in Korea.

본 논문은 현재 패턴구성 과정에 있는 1년 차 영국과 한국 학생들의 교육체제를 연구 비교 하므로써 그 차이점을 알아보고 궁극적으로 나아가야 할 방향에 대해서 연구되었다. 우선 두 나라의 교육체계에 관해 간단한 배경 설명 후에 학제의 시작이 두 나라 사이에 큰 차이점이 있음을 강조하였다. 본 논문은 일차자료와 이차자료를 모두 이용하였으며 설문지 내용은 지면 할애상 생략하였다. 본문에서는 첫 번째로 강의 방법에 대해 알아보았으며 두 나라간의 교수 형식으로는 큰 차이를 볼 수 가 없었다. 그 다음으로는 교수의 자격 요건 이었으며 연령대가 다른 차이점 이외에는 큰 차이점을 볼 수 없었다. 또한 교수법에 있어 가장 중요한 열정과 동기부여 등을 강조하였다. 이론적인 수업은 한국의 대학에서 강조된 반면 영국에서는 실질적인 부분을 강조함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 한국의 경우 대부분의 학생들이 수업의 진행을 위해 교과서를 구입해야 하는 반면 영국 학생들의 경우 자세한 설명이 첨부된 복사물을 받아 수업을 받고 있었다. 그 이유는 학생들의 수업능력 차이에 있으며 또 한가지는 경제적 문제라고 할 수 있다. 한국의 학생 정원은 40명이었으며 대부분의 학생들이 거의 포기하지 않고 졸업을 하는 반면, 본인이 조사한 대학의 경우, 25명의 정원으로 시작하였으나 여러 가지 개인 사정으로 조사 당시 15명의 인원수만 남아 있었다. 적은 수의 학생수는 곧 수업의 질과 연관됨을 알 수 있었다. 두 나라의 학생수업 능력과 학생 수가 많이 달라 영국 학생들의 경우 선생에게 의지하려는 경향을 많이 보인 반면 한국학생들은 독립적인 특징들을 보였다. 두 나라 학생들 모두 과제물을 많이 받고 있었으며 2학년 말에는 의상발표회를 하는 공통점을 보였다. 평가 방법상에서는 큰 차이가 보였다. 영국의 경우 평가에 관한 사항을 아주 세분화하여 공식적으로 책자를 만들어 그 규칙을 철저히 지키도록 한 반면, 한국의 경우에는 정해진 세부사항 없이 크게 ABCD체제의 방식과 출석상황, 중간고사, 기말고사, 과제물 완성도 등을 퍼센티지로 나누어 평가하고 있었다. 학생들에게 주어지는 균등한 기회나 평등의 문제도 학생들의 자격, 신분 등이 거의 다르지 않은 한국에서는 그리 중요한 사항은 아니었으나 다민족 국민으로 이루어진 영국의 학생들에게는 아주 민감한 사항임을 알 수 있었다.

Universities that hold engineering education accreditation emphasize the importance of design education. In particular, comprehensive design courses in the engineering field are designed to produce the result reflecting the functional and limiting factors of the design. Systematic design education is also important, but the application of multidisciplinary convergence education is very high in view of the comprehensive design curriculum as a creative education program. This study describes a case study of convergence of curriculum and engineering and design, focusing on the 2019 comprehensive engineering design subject of the researcher. For the collaboration between engineering and design, the process of developing students' ideas and applying them to actual results was presented as the procedures of planning and theme selection, content design, software design, presentation and evaluation. As a result, it is meaningful that the method of convergence between engineering and design was presented without focusing only on technology in the comprehensive design subject of engineering by applying a design that considers the user in producing the work.
