In this paper, the function of starting the negative voltage used in the IT equipment when it is generated and the method of controlling it using a microcontroller for the function to detect the overload and respond to it are presented. To do this, the limitations of the existing negative voltage generation circuit and the problems that occur during overload were analyzed, and a circuit that detects and controls the overload condition without a separate current sensing circuit was presented. In order to confirm the effect of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted by configuring an experimental circuit. As a result of the experiment, compared to the existing negative voltage generation circuit, which falls into a latch-up state when overloaded and enters a dangerous state, the proposed circuit detects this, stop the operation of the circuit, and informs the user of such an abnormal state to take action. have. In addition, since the starting point of the circuit is determined according to the system state, the experimental result was confirmed that the starting time was significantly shortened by about 23% compared to the time switch method.

This study analyzed the characteristics of the presence of multiple chronic diseases (MCDs) in older adults who transferred from long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) to emergency departments (EDs). According to the data from the national emergency department information system from January 1, to December 31, 2019, the number of older adults transferred from LTCHs to the ED due to chronic diseases was 13,608. Among those who MCDs, 79.9% were over 75 years old, and 74.0% were hospitalized for MCDs. The length of stay in the ED differed according to the presence of MCDs (P<0.001). As for the prevalence of MCDs, the odds ratio (OR) of the ED and in the hospitalized patients was high in Gwangju (OR 8.899 vs. 8.142) and Jeonbuk (OR 13.865 vs. 10.676). As described above, the characteristics of patients regarding the presence of MCDs varied according to age and region.

This study is to verify the mediating effect of depression between job stress and job satisfaction among workers in small and medium sized enterprises. The survey was conducted to workers in small and medium sized enterprises, and 117 cases were finally applied. As results, job stress has significantly negative effect on job satisfaction and positive effect on depression. Depression also has partial mediating effect on between job stress and job satisfaction. We finally suggest that customized management system should be provided for the workers in small and medium-sized enterprises, and occupational welfare system, including employee assistance program (EAP), must be launched for these workers.

The purpose of access control is to prevent computing resources from illegal behavior such as leakage, modification, and destruction by unauthorized users. As the cloud computing environment is expanded to resource sharing services using virtualization technology, a new security model and access control technique are required to provide dynamic and secure cloud-based computing services. The virtualization management convergence access control model provides a flexible user authorization function by applying the dynamic privilege assignment function to the role based access control mechanism. In addition, by applying access control mechanism based on security level and rules, we solve the conflict problem in virtual machine system and guarantee the safeness of physical resources. This model will help to build a secure and efficient cloud-based virtualization management system and will be expanded to a mechanism that reflects the multi-level characteristics.

In this paper, we aim to investigate the generalization of ZRC codes by performing performance analysis on various coding rates and channel conditions of Zero Reduction Code (ZRC) for dimming control in VLC system. Simulation results show that the ZRC codes with relatively high coding rate achieve the enhanced BER performance as the RMS (Root Mean Square) delay spread value increases in the NLOS channelse. Therefore, it is expected that the designing of the dimming control technology using ZRC in the future visible light communication system will help to determine the coding rate according to the channel state through the analysis result in this study.

This study is a qualitative study in which a focus group interview is applied to explore nursing students' perception of blended learning. 21 students in the 4th grade of nursing department were divided into 4 groups to collect data through interviews and content analysis was conducted. As a result of the study, it was categorized into four topics: 'Application and operation that are not thoroughly prepared', 'Loss of direction and departure from learning', 'One-way listening', and 'Convenience'. Students were satisfied with blended learning which is free from time and space constraints and repetitive, but felt inadequacy and unsatisfactoriness about quality of online contents, system, and preparation for applying blended learning. In order to apply blended learning in the future nursing classes, high-quality online content should be developed based on the effective design of online and offline classes considering the curriculum, and a systematic, administrative, financial, and institutional foundation to support online course should be prepared. In addition, a support system should be created to guide students' self-directed learning activities in online classes of blended learning.

In this paper, we analyze the modulation scheme for high speed transmission in visible light communication system, and study non-orthogonal multiplexing, dimming level and transmission power ratio. Conventional visible light communication has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to multi-transmit to increase the transmission speed. Multi-transmission technique is necessary for high-speed transmission at the transmitter. Since general visible light communication has a limitation in multiple transmission, various researches for high-speed transmission have been conducted. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a multiple modulation scheme for high-speed visible light communication using non-orthogonal multiplex transmission scheme and a future research direction.

Recently, the spreading business of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) remote metering systems in various regions of the country has been activated, and it provides various metering functions such as two-way communication and security plan functions for power demand management. Current AMI system is difficult to analyze based on the existing RDB(Relational Database) due to the increase in the size of new internal IoT devices and networks. This study proposes a new GDB(Graph Database) based failure analysis method that utilizes existing RDB data. It analyzes the correlation of new failure patterns through accumulated data such as internal thresholds and status values. As a result of GDB-based simulation, it was confirmed that RDB can predict to a new obstacle pattern that was difficult to analyze.

Wireless sensor nodes adopting the advanced preamble detection function, Message-In-Mesage (MIM), maximize the concurrent transmission opportunities due to the capture effect, result in improving the system performance significantly compared to the legacy IEEE 802.15.4 based sensor devices. In this paper, we propose an MIM capture probability model to analyze the performance gains by applying the MIM function to the wireless sensor nodes. We implemented the IEEE 802.15.4 and MIM by Python and performed extensive simulations to verify the performance gains through MIM capture effects. The evaluation results show that the MIM sensors achieve 34% system throughput gains and 31% transmission delay gains over the legacy IEEE 802.15.4-based sensors, which confirm that it was consistent with the analysis result of the proposed MIM capture probability model.

As the cost of installing and maintaining software on large organizations such as recent companies and schools has increased, software installation and maintenance costs are low, system management is easy, demand for ease of use software solutions has increased. In the reality that special education for service center engineers is required along with the release of various products, training of the software and solution industry is regarded as important. Building Web-based user and system interactive environment, strengthened usability and educational ability effect suitable for engineer level. In the future, research that is familiar with specific software, not successfully combining multiple frameworks, rather than developers, will be increasingly important for research that can achieve optimal performance.
