The construction industry faces the challenge of providing effective, engaging, and rule-specific safety learning. Traditional methodologies exhibit limited adaptability to technological advancement and struggle to deliver optimal learning experiences. Recently, there has been widespread adoption of information retrieval and ontology-based chatbots, as well as content delivery methods, for safety learning and education. However, existing information and content retrieval methods often struggle with accessing and presenting relevant safety learning materials efficiently. Additionally, the rigid and complex structures of ontology-based approaches pose obstacles in accommodating dynamic content and scaling for large datasets. They require more computational resources for ontology management. To address these limitations, this paper introduces iSafe Chatbot, a novel framework for construction safety learning. Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Model (LLM), iSafe Chatbot aids safety learning by dynamically retrieving and interpreting relevant Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules from the comprehensive safety regulation database. When a user submits a query, iSafe Chatbot identifies relevant regulations and employs LLM techniques to provide clear explanations with practical examples. Furthermore, based on the user's query and context, iSafe Chatbot recommends training video content from video database, enhancing comprehension and engagement. Through advanced NLP, LLM, and video content delivery, iSafe Chatbot promises to revolutionize safety learning in construction, providing an effective, engaging, and rule-specific experience. Preliminary tests have demonstrated the potential of the iSafe Chatbot. This framework addresses challenges in accessing safety materials and aims to enhance knowledge and adherence to safety protocols within the industry.

Recently, services utilizing large-scale language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and LLaMA have been released, garnering significant attention. These models can respond fluently to various user queries, but their insufficient training on Korean data raises concerns about the potential to provide inaccurate information regarding Korean culture and language. In this study, we selected eight major publicly available models that have been trained on Korean data and evaluated their understanding of Korean culture using a dataset composed of five domains (Korean language comprehension and cultural aspects). The results showed that the commercial model HyperClovaX exhibited the best performance across all domains. Among the publicly available models, Bookworm demonstrated superior Korean language proficiency. Additionally, the LDCC-SOLAR model excelled in areas related to understanding Korean culture and language.

Owing to needs of biomechanical comprehension and analysis to obtain various medical treatment designs which are related with the spine in order to cure and diagnose LBP patients, the FE modeling and nonlinear analysis of lumbosacrum including a partial ilium and iliolumbar ligaments, were carried out. First, we investigated whether the geometrical configuration of vertebrae displayed by DICOM slice files is regular and normal condition. After constructing spinal vertebrae including a partial ilium, a sacrum and five lumbars (from L1 to L5)with anatomical shape reconstructed using softwares such as image modeler and CAD modeler, we added iliolumbar ligaments, lumbar ligaments, discs and facet joints, etc.. And also, we assigned material property and discretized the model using proper finite element types, thus it was completely modeled through the above procedure. For the verification of each segment, average sagittal ROM, average coronal ROM and average transversal ROM under various loading conditions(${\pm}10Nm$), average vertical displacement under compression(400N), ALL(Anterior Longitudinal Ligament) and PLL(Posterior Longitudinal Ligament) force at L12 level, strains of seven ligaments on sagittal plane at L45 level and maximal strain of disc fibers according to various loading conditions at L45 level, etc., they were compared with experimental results. For the verification of multilevel-lumbosacrum spine including partial ilium and iliolumbar ligaments, the cases with and without iliolumbar ligaments were compared with ROM of experiment. The results were obtained from analysis of the verified FE model as follows: I) Iliolumbar ligaments played a stabilizing role as mainly posterior iliolumbar ligaments under flexion and as both posterior and anterior iliolumbar ligaments of one side under lateral bending. 2) The iliolumbar ligaments decreased total ROM of 1-8% in total model according to various motion conditions, which changed facet contact forces of L5S level by approximately 0.8-1.4 times and disc forces of L5S level by approximately 0.8-1.5 times more than casewithout ilioligaments, under various loading conditions. 3) The force of lower discs such as L45 and L5S was bigger than upper discs under flexion, left and right bending and left and right twisting, except extension. 4) It was predicted that strains of posterior ligaments among iliolumbar ligaments would produce the maximum 16% under flexion and the maximum 10% under twisting. 5) It's expected that this present model applies to the development and design of artificial disc, since it was comparatively in agreement with the experimental datum.

This paper introduces SNUDM, an analysis program for Ratcliff's diffusion model, which has been one of the most important models in cognitive psychology over the past 35 years and which has come to occupy an important place in cognitive neuroscience in recent years. The analysis tool is designed with the basic principles of easy comprehension and simplicity in use. A diffusion process was programmed as the limit of a simple random walk in a manner resembling Ratcliff & Tuerlinckx(2002). The response time distribution of the model was constructed by simulating the time taken by a random walk until it reaches a threshold with small steps. The optimal parameter values in the model are found to be the smallest value of the chi-square values obtained by comparing the resulting distribution and the experimental data using Simplex method. For simplicity and ease of use, the input file used here is created as a file containing the quantile of the reaction time, the trials and other information. The number of participants and the number of conditions required for such work programs are given in a way that answers the question. Using this analysis tool, the experimental data of Ratcliff, Gomez, & McKoon(2004) were analyzed. We found the very similar pattern of parameter values to Ratcliff et al.(2004) found. When comparing DMAT, fast-dm and SNUDM with the generated data, we found that when the number of trials is small, SNUDM estimates the boundary parameter to a value similar to fast-dm and less than the DMAT. In addition, when the number of trials was large, it was confirmed that all three tools estimate parameters similarly.

The construction of high-quality input features through effective segmentation is essential for increasing the sentence comprehension of a language model. Improving the quality of them directly affects the performance of the downstream task. This paper comparatively studies the segmentation that effectively reflects the linguistic characteristics of Korean regarding word and sentence classification. The segmentation types are defined in four categories: eojeol, morpheme, syllable and subchar, and pre-training is carried out using the RoBERTa model structure. By dividing tasks into a sentence group and a word group, we analyze the tendency within a group and the difference between the groups. By the model with subchar-level segmentation showing higher performance than other strategies by maximal NSMC: +0.62%, KorNLI: +2.38%, KorSTS: +2.41% in sentence classification, and the model with syllable-level showing higher performance at maximum NER: +0.7%, SRL: +0.61% in word classification, the experimental results confirm the effectiveness of those schemes.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution of condylar regions and edentulous mandible with implant-supported cantilever prostheses on the certain conditions, such as amount of load, location of load, direction of load, fixation or non-fixation on the condylar regions. Three dimensional finite element analysis was used for this study. FEM model was created by using commercial software, ANSYS(Swanson, Inc., U.S.A.). Fixed model which was fixed on the condylar regions was modeled with 74323 elements and 15387 nodes and spring model which was sprung on the condylar regions was modeled with 75020 elements and 15887 nodes. Six Br${\aa}$nemark implants with 3.75 mm diameter and 13 mm length were incorporated in the models. The placement was 4.4 mm from the midline for the first implant; the other two in each quardrant were 6.5 mm apart. The stress distribution on each model through the designed mandible was evaluated under 500N vertical load, 250N horizontal load linguobuccally, buccal 20 degree 250N oblique load and buccal 45 degree 250N oblique load. The load points were at 0 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm along the cantilever prostheses from the center of the distal fixture. The results were as follows; 1. The stress distribution of condylar regions between two models showed conspicuous differences. Fixed model showed conspicuous stress concentration on the condylar regions than spring model under vertical load only. On the other hand, spring model showed conspicuous stress concentration on the condylar regions than fixed model under 250N horizontal load linguobuccally, buccal 20 degree 250N oblique load and buccal 45 degree 250N oblique load. 2. Fixed model showed stress concentration on the posterior and mesial side of working and balancing condylar necks but spring model showed stress concentration on the posterior and mesial side of working condylar neck and the posterior and lateral side of balancing condylar neck under vertical load. 3. Fixed model showed stress concentration on the posterior and lateral side of working condylar neck and the anterior and mesial side of balancing condylar neck but spring model showed stress concentration on the anterior sides of working and balancing condylar necks under horizontal load linguobuccally. 4. Fixed model showed stress concentration on the posterior side of working condylar neck and the posterior and lateral side of balancing condylar neck but spring model showed stress concentration on the anterior side of working condylar neck and the anterior and lateral side of balancing condylar neck under buccal 20 degree oblique load. 5. Fixed model showed stress concentration on the anterior and lateral side of working condylar neck and the posterior and mesial side of balancing condylar neck but spring model showed stress concentration on the anterior side of working condylar neck and the anterior and lateral side of balancing condylar neck under buccal 45 degree oblique load.. 6. The stress distribution of bone around implants between two models revealed difference slightly. In general, magnitude of Von Mises stress was the greatest at the bone around the most distal implant and the progressive decrease more and more mesially. Under vertical load, the stress values were similar between implant neck and superstructure vertically, besides the greatest on the distal side horizontally. 7. Under horizontal load linguobuccally, buccal 20 degree oblique load and buccal 45 degree oblique load, the stress values were the greatest on the implant neck vertically, and great on the labial and lingual sides horizontally. After all, it was considered that spring model was an indispensable condition for the comprehension of the stress distributions of condylar regions.

This descriptive study was done to detect the possibilities of the development of the advocacy concept in nursing. The subjects consisted of 3 nurses who had agreed to participate to the study, working at nursery room in a general hospital. Data was collected from May 22 to June 13 in 1995 through tape recorded intensive-interview, and written down, then content analyzed qualitatively related to the infant advocacy. 1. Derivation fo the meaning about advocacy concept 1) The situations in need of infant advocacy were 12 categories : malpractice, overcharing, negligence, unnecessary services, and services without consent, and so on. 2) Fourteen categories of advocacy activities percived by nurses were derived from participants' statements. Protesting infant or his /her families against their counterpart, providing informations to families, cooperating with medical staffs for her patient, then calling medical staff not so as to be maleficient to her patient in its rank. 3) The expected result of advocacy activities perceived by nurses was respectively positive to her patient or families, but negative to nurse. 4) The feelings of nurses in the sitution of advocacy were expressed in to concern, comprehension, regret, powerlessness, charity, desire, and so on. 5) Nurses perceived that advocacy activities could be influenced positively by factors related to nurses' qualification and negatively by factors related to doctor's overdo and nurse's underdo. 2. Categorization of the meaning and their relationships In case of antecedental situation in need of infant advocacy, nurse perceives her patients need the advocacy to get a benefit through nurse's information, intervention speaking, building cooperations. The expected factors to influence advocacy activities perceived by nurses, are the power imbalance between medical staffs, the nurse's qualification, and the nurse's feeling from the situation. The above results suggest that the infant care situation will be recommendable field work place for concept development of advocacy with hybride model when it involves infant's families.

There exist many differences between new Informatics curriculum and the current Computer curriculum. Since the new curriculum introduces new section of "Problem-solving methods and procedures" which are not included in current computer curriculum, it is required to define and specify objectives and content units of "problem solving methods" and "programming" topics for the new section. In this paper, we define and specify the objectives and detailed contents by surveying various computer curriculums used in many other countries. Then, the specified objectives and content units are validated by a group of computer education experts. The final results of specified objectives show that areas of "comprehension", "application" and "synthesis" take relatively high percentage over the other areas. In the content specification, we set the content structure by describing how to solve a given real-world problem with a non-computerized way, followed by representing or transforming it with a corresponding computerized model.
