  • Objectives: Control methods against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) aerosols have been introduced. Airborne spreading theories for SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed in this study. Methods: Control methods for airborne microorganisms were discussed. Studies on theoretical estimations for airborne spreading of SARS-CoV-2 were presented and analyzed. Analytic calculations were conducted for explaining control techniques for airborne microorganisms. Results: Control methods for SARS-CoV-2 aerosols can include physical or biological procedures. Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 aerosols and massive clustering infection cases of COVID-19 support the airborne spreading theories of SARS-CoV-2. It is necessary to consider the disadvantages of control methods for airborne microorganisms. Conclusions: A study on control methods against bioaerosols is necessary to prevent the spreading of viruses. Airborne spreading theories of SARS-CoV-2 were supported by the current evidence, but further studies are needed to confirm these theories.

  • The online education platform market is developing rapidly after the coronavirus infection-19 pandemic. As school classes at various levels are converted to non-face-to-face classes, interest in non-face-to-face online education is increasing more than ever. However, the majority of online platforms currently used are limited to the fragmentary functions of simply delivering images, voice and messages, and there are limitations to online hands-on training. Indeed, digital transformation is a traditional business method for increasing coding education and a corporate approach to service operation innovation strategy computing thinking power and platform model. There are many ways to evaluate a computer programmer's ability. Generally, piecemeal evaluation methods are used to evaluate results in time through coding tests. In this study, the purpose of this study is to propose a comprehensive evaluation of not only the results of writing, but also the execution process of the results, etc., and to evaluate the programmer's propensity habits based on the programmer's coding experience to evaluate the programmer's ability and productivity.

  • The coronavirus pandemic of 2019-20 confronted fiscally dominant regimes around the world with the question of whether the large deficits caused by the health crisis should be monetized or financed by issuing debt. The unpleasant monetarist arithmetic of Sargent and Wallace (1981) states that in a fiscally dominant regime tighter money now can cause higher inflation in the future. In spite of the qualifier 'unpleasant,' this result is positive in nature, and, therefore, void of normative content. I analyze conditions under which it is optimal in a welfare sense for the central bank to delay inflation by issuing debt to finance part of the fiscal deficit. The analysis is conducted in the context of a model in which the aforementioned monetarist arithmetic holds, in the sense that if the government finds it optimal to delay inflation, it does so knowing that it would result in higher inflation in the future. The central result of the paper is that delaying inflation is optimal when the fiscal deficit is expected to decline over time.

  • The purpose of this paper is to critique the links between science and scientific researchers, politics and capital surrounding vaccines and vaccination in a pandemic era. It also introduces standards for adapting ethical guidelines for research under public health emergencies to specific circumstances and contexts. It also introduces ethical standards to be applied to scientific research. that is, scientific relevance, social value, cooperative partnerships, reasonable risk-benefit costs, fair and voluntary participation, independent review, and equal moral respect for participants and affected communities. It also outlines the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic-consent and other research procedure modifications proposed by Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). We are on the lookout for powerful capital and hegemonic groups inseparable from politics and important decision makers in the pandemic era - that is, scientists, supporters, and scientific civic groups. It underscores the need for an independent and formal scientific advisory body with the right balance between science and politics.

  • Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 has deteriorated mental health, particularly in mothers with elementary school children. Although the country has developed several health promotion programs to preserve mental health, no program has incorporated Korean medicine. Thus, this study focuses on developing vital Korean medicine mental health care programs. Methods: The program follows the Korean medicine health promotion program principles. Guidelines, reports, research, and previous programs were analyzed to form interventions and lecture content. Results: Pellets, hot packs, meditation, lavender oil, and green tea were selected as final intervention strategies. Mental health-related guidelines were analyzed to produce stress management lecture materials. In addition, an operational methods and evaluation tool manual was created. Conclusion: We designed a health promotion program capitalizing on Korean medicine to improve mental health. This program will be assessed and accordingly improved through practical applications.

  • The use of mathematical modelling in the study of epidemiological disorders continues to grow substantially. In order to better support global policy initiatives and explain the possible consequence of an outbreak, mathematical models were constructed to forecast how epidemic illnesses spread. In this paper, fractional derivatives and (${\varpi}$ - F𝓒)-contractions are used to explore the existence and uniqueness solutions of the novel coronavirus-19 model.

  • The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease in 2020 caused a global semiconductor supply shortage and disruption in the production of devices such as iPhones owing to China's quarantine lockdown. Thus, Apple is diversifying its production bases from China to countries like India and Vietnam. The company is also accelerating semiconductor development to guarantee a stable supply, reduce design costs, and customize semiconductors with high quality and outstanding specifications for their products to outperform devices that use general-purpose semiconductors. Following the mobile application processor, Apple is releasing world-class semiconductors, such as the M1 and M2 chips that play the role of central processing units.

  • One of the most negative social changes of the last decade is population aging which leads to 19 times more patients with Mild Cognitive Disorder(MCI). It is well established that MCI is the most important state that can prevent dementia with early diagnosis and intervention. However, the social security system for patients with dementia is not working properly due to the coronavirus pandemic and the limited human power. This article proposes a form of workbench and design principles for dementia training programs of extended reality devices. and the findings in this study provide a guide for considering the cognitive and physical and social functions of patients.

  • 최근 SARS-CoV-2 백신들의 예방접종이 진행됨에 따라 코로나 19 팬데믹의 종결이 예상되고 있다. 하지만 계속해서 출현 중인 변종 바이러스들은 팬데믹 종결의 위험요소로 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 사전학습된 단백질 BERT와 단백질-단백질 상호작용 모델을 활용한 SARS-CoV-2 스파이크 단백질의 변이 예측 분석 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 기술은 변이 단백질 서열의 예측과 변이 단백질과 human ACE2 수용체의 친화도에 따른 자연선택으로 이루어진다. 이를 통해 시간이 지나며 나타날 수 있는 변종 바이러스들을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있어 변종 바이러스들의 해결에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 최근 COVID-19(Coronavirus disease, 2019)의 발병으로 정확한 진단을 하기위한 X-ray 검사에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 품질이 높은 수준의 Xray 영상을 얻기 위해서는 X-ray 튜브에 촬영 목적에 맞는 일정한 고전압을 제어를 통해 인가해야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 전력변환장치의 출력전압 특성을 고려하여 설계해야 한다. 따라서 Xray 발생장치에 주로 사용되는 Cockcroft-Walton Voltage Multiplier를 사용하여 다이오드의 기생커패시턴스 성분이 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스 성분, 회로의 기생 인덕턴스 성분과 공진현상을 일으켜 발생하는 출력전압의 특성 변화에 대한 시뮬레이션을 개발하고 분석 하였다.
