In this paper, dynamic simulation results for modules of a magnetically-levitated(Maglev) vehicle are presented. The mathematical dynamic models for the Maglev vehicle are firstly derived. The Maglev system consists of one vehicle, two half-bogies, one guideway, four secondary suspensions, eight electromagnets and levitation control systems. Also, the dynamic characteristics are analysed by using the derived models. Finally, two simulations such as reference airgap step change of 1mm and rail step change of 1mm, are carried out. The dynamic simulation results are shown to testify the developed dynamic simulation program. From the results, we can see the possibility of the dynamic simulation program to develop a new Maglev vehicle system.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of head monted display based home-visits virtual reality simulation (HVRS) program developed for undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A nonequivalent control group with a non-synchronized design was utilized and 84 participants (experimental group, 44; control group, 40) were recruited from August 31, 2020 to November 8, 2020 in Gwangju metropolitan city. The HVRS program consisted of scenarios of three nursing cases, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. Data were analyzed SPSS version 25.0 for Windows. Results: At the completion of HVRS, significant differences were found between groups in knowledge of home-visits (t = 4.73, p < .001), self-confidence (t = 6.63, p < .001), self-efficacy (t = 3.13, p = .002), and clinical competency (t = 4.13, p < .001). No significant difference was shown between groups in nursing knowledge about strokes, a subcategory of knowledge pertaining to home visits. Conclusion: The HVRS program developed for undergraduate nursing students is effective in improving knowledge of home-visits, self-confidence, self-efficacy, and clinical competency for nursing students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the current status and needs in neonatal emergency training for nursing students in Korea and to obtain preliminary information to develop a simulation based educational program on neonatal emergency care for nursing students. Methods: Structured questionnaires were distributed to five hospitals and ten nursing schools during April and May, 2012. Data were collected from 59 nurses who worked in the nursery or Neonatal Intensive Care Units and 13 nursing educators who had specialized in pediatric nursing. Results: Most nurses (86.4%) reported that they had experienced an emergency situation with newborns. Most nursing educators (84.6%) claimed that more intensive training with newborns is needed for nursing students. In particular, training in neonatal resuscitation (72.2%), respiratory distress (59.7%), and neonatal seizures (18.1%) were highly recommended as simulation based training for nursing students. Conclusion: A significant need for neonatal emergency educational programs was found. More efforts should be made to provide nursing students with knowledge and skills for working with neonates. The findings of this survey will ultimately provide a basis for developing a simulation based educational program on neonatal emergency care for nursing students.

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effects of emergency nursing simulation program on nursing students and nurses. Methods: This systematic review was performed as per the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and using the R program meta package (version 4.9-2). RISS, KISS, and DBpia Library databases were searched for studies published between June 2000 and August 2018 using the following key words: ($Emerge^*$ OR nursing) AND ($nurs^*$ OR simulation). Selected studies were assessed for methodological quality using Risk of Bias for Non randomized Studies. Results: 7 studies were identified and all of them met the inclusion criteria. The outcome variables were significant clinical performance, self-efficacy except knowledge, and problem-solving ability. Conclusion: This review provides updated evidence of the simulation-based education program in emergency nursing. Further studies are required to increase generalizability using randomized population, research design and controlled trials with sufficient sample size. Moreover, valid measurements are needed to assess the main outcomes.

The performance of a geothermal heat pump system using carbon dioxide was investigated by the steady-state cycle simulation program developed in this study. A parametric study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of various operating conditions on the performance of the basic cycle without an IHX(internal heat exchanger). The simulation program consists of several Fortran subroutines for simulating indoor and outdoor heat exchangers, compressors, and expansion valves and Visual Basic subroutines for the graphic user interface(GUI) consisted with pre-processor for input data and post-processor for the output data. Refprop V6.01 was used for estimating the thermodynamic properties and equilibrium behaviors of carbon dioxide. The simulation results were validated by comparing experimental data through a series of case studies. The cycle simulation program developed in this work would seem to be a useful tool in optimizing and establishing economical and efficient operating conditions in the $CO_2$ geothermal heat pump system.

In this research, we are trying to develop a framework to evaluate the prevention program for Tsunami disaster based on the Multi-agent simulation model. Tsunami has arisen by the earthquake. It happened after flew minutes or few hours when it occurred. It is clear that Tsunami will come after earthquake and from seashore. If we prevent the damage by Tsunami, we should make people who is in the seashore and lived near the seaside escape from there. Moreover we must forecast the escape activity from Tsunami. Former research of this field, some researches try to forecast the escape activity as macro level. However, people who escape from Tsunami is differ from their physical ability and ability of information processing. It needs a more accuracy model to forecast the escape activity of them. Furthermore they make a decision step by step using the various information. Therefore escape activity from Tsunami will describe using an agent based model which can only treat the information processing of human being. In this paper, we develop the evacuation model from Tsunami disaster using the Multi agent based model. The purpose of this study is to analyze the human action pattern when Tsunami occurred, and to make an accurately assessment for damages by Tsunami. The Fujisawa city government is planning and operating the various prevention program far Tsunami. However nobody assess it, because they do not have any simulation models for Tsunami disaster. If they want to set an effective prevention program for Tsunami, they should have any kinds of simulation model. The results of this study are 1) To develop the Multi agent based evacuees escape activity model. 2) Assess the damage of Tsunami in Fujisawa-City.

This study was conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the simulation-based orientation program for students preparing for clinical practice in child nursing for the first time. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group, pre-posttest design was used. The subjects were 70 3rd grade nursing students who started clinical practice. The simulation-based orientation was applied to 35 students in the experimental group, and the existing lecture style orientation was applied to 35 students in the control group. Data collection was conducted on the nursing competence, perceived stress, self-efficacy, and communication skills before and after orientation. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN 23.0 program. As a result of the study, the simulation-based orientation program before child nursing practice of nursing college students was found to improve nursing competence (t=5.390, p<.001). Perceived stress, self-efficacy, and communication skills all increased after practice, but were not statistically significant. Therefore, it is necessary to fully consider the situation of students when constructing and operating the contents of the simulation-based orientation.
