Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of pulmonary function impairment (PFI) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT), and the effect of pneumoconiosis on CAC or PFI. Methods: Seventy-six subjects exposed to inorganic dusts underwent coronary artery calcium scoring by MDCT, spirometry, laboratory tests, and a standardized questionnaire. CAC was quantified using a commercial software (Rapidia ver. 2.8), and all the subjects were divided into two categories according to total calcium scores (TCSs), either the non-calcified (<1) or the calcified (${\geq}1$) group. Obstructive pulmonary function impairment (OPFI) was defined as forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ($FEV_1$/FVC, %)<70, and as $FEV_1$/FVC (%){\geq}70 and FVC<80 for restrictive pulmonary function impairment (RPFI) by spirometry. All subjects were classified as either the case (profusion${\geq}1/0$) or the control (profusion${\leq}0/1$) group by pneumoconiosis findings on simple digital radiograph. Results: Of the 76 subjects, 35 subjects (46.1%) had a CAC. Age and hypertension were different significantly between the non-calcified and the calcified group (p<0.05). Subjects with pneumoconiosis were more frequent in the calcified group than those in the non-calcified group (p=0.099). $FEV_1$/FVC (%) was significantly correlated with TCSs (r=-0.316, p=0.005). Subjects with OPFI tended to increase significantly with increasing of TCS (4.82, p=0.028), but not significantly in RPFI (2.18, p=0.140). Subjects with OPFI were significantly increased in the case group compared to those in the control group. Conclusion: CAC is significantly correlated with OPFI, and CAC and OPFI may be affected by pneumoconiosis findings.

This paper presents an evaluation framework for prototyping multimedia streaming services including audio and video in a distributed and/or decentralized storage that can evaluate service quality and performance under various network conditions. The evaluation framework focuses on important indicators which measure and improve service quality by applying decentralized storage to multimedia streaming services that can mimic the scalability of the existing server-client software architecture and the issue of a single point of failure. The integrated framework not only measures performance indicators for evaluating the quality and performance of multimedia streaming on open source based multimedia content streaming services, but also adjusts network quality using network virtualization technology for comprehensive evaluations. The experimental results show that the integrated framework has low overhead in building and operating a decentralized storage with multimedia streaming services on a single host computer which validates the scalability of the developed framework.

Internet telephony is an Internet service which supports voice telephone using VoIP technology on the IP-based Internet. It has some advantages in that voice telephone services can be accompanied with multimedia services such as video communication and messaging services. Recently, the introduction of smart phones has led to a growth in social networking services and thus, the research and development of Internet telephony has been actively progressed and has the potential to become a replacement for the telephone service that is currently being used. In this paper we designed and implemented an Internet telephony network system which is developed by using Asterisk and open source softwares. It is developed on the linux system and has some features such as VoIP telephony service between SIP phones, voice mail, and call recording. It also supports web-based functions such as SIP users and server system management that is implemented by Apache web server and PHP programs. Afterwards, this system will be applied as VoIP network base technology for small sized companies and organizations. It will paly a role for encouraging companies to use open source softwares.

Existing studies on the bicycle road were mostly for the promotion of bicycle road through the creation of bicycle road. However, as the gradually increase of bicycle users, it has been required service based on low carbon green growth in order to promote the use of bicycles which are green means of transportation. Analysis of existing bicycle use information is mainly based on calculating the amount of exercise, so the diverse needs of bicycle user does not accommodated. Therefore, in this study, it is proposed that methodology compute to reduce cost or amount of carbon dioxide, fuel, and processing costs of global warming by using bicycle. For this, a program is implemented to display bicycle use information provided in the form of GPX based on Google Earth in three-dimensional environment and to service based on low carbon, green growth. The developed program is compared with existing commercial software. Through this study, new services have been developed to carry out low carbon and green growth in terms of bicycle users, and it is considered that the services can be applied to devices such as smart phones.

Recently, as the uncontact service is activated in earnest due to the Corona 19 virus, the necessity of system development to provide non-face-to-face contact remote medical service has increased. In this study, we propose a smart healthcare system, Rm_She(Remote Medical Smart Healthcare System). Rm_She can collect and manage various vital signs information by connecting various healthcare products that detect bio-signals based on IoT to one application. The health check app (HC_app) is used to connect vital sign measurement devices to a wireless LAN and receive vital sign values from the HC_app. Then, the vital signs are output to the user on the smartphone, and the corresponding information is transmitted to the healthcare management server. The healthcare server receives the measured values and stores them in a database, and the stored measured values are provided as a web service so that medical staff can remotely monitor them in real time.
