A concept of Deep Level Situation Understanding is proposed to realize human-like natural communication (called casual communication) among multi-agent (e.g., humans and robots/machines), where the deep level situation understanding consists of surface level understanding (such as gesture/posture understanding, facial expression understanding, speech/voice understanding), emotion understanding, intention understanding, and atmosphere understanding by applying customized knowledge of each agent and by taking considerations of thoughtfulness. The proposal aims to reduce burden of humans in humans-robots interaction, so as to realize harmonious communication by excluding unnecessary troubles or misunderstandings among agents, and finally helps to create a peaceful, happy, and prosperous humans-robots society. A simulated experiment is carried out to validate the deep level situation understanding system on a scenario where meeting-room reservation is done between a human employee and a secretary-robot. The proposed deep level situation understanding system aims to be applied in service robot systems for smoothing the communication and avoiding misunderstanding among agents.

Objective The purpose of this study was to show that the characteristics of the Sasang Constitutional Medical theory(SCM) are different from the traditional medical theory by comparing their theories of humans and pathophysiology. Methods The establishments and developments of the traditional medical theory were reviewed. Then the hypothesis that the theoretical foundation of SCM is different from that of the traditional medical theory was tested by comparing the traditional medical theory and SCM with respect to the theories of humans and the reconstructed theory of pathophysiology. Results The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. The theory of SCM reconstructed the traditional medical theory by shifting the paradigm concerning the structure of human existence. 2. The theory for SCM reconstructed the theory of pathophysiology by expanding Confucian moral theory from an experiential perspective. 3. The theory of SCM categorizes humans into four constitution groups according to congenital individuality in emotional expressions and pathophysiological functions. The categorization is based on medical treatment through which it was found that there are congenital individuality in the expression of his moral feelings. 4. The reconstructed pathophysiological theory of the SCM provides the foundation for establishing a verifiable medical theory. Discussion and conclusion The Sasang Constitutional Medical Theory is based on the idea that humans do not follow the changes of Nature but pursue morality and wealth in the Sasang system of the Heavenly qi and human affairs. Therefore, the theory is founded on Confucian moral theory but develops its own view of the theory of pathophysiology by way of experiential interpretation.

Deasoon ideas are doctrine of Deasoonjinrihoe, which was founded by Ilsoon Gang, religious thinker in the late of Josun Dynasty. This study aims at examining influences of Confucius ideas implicit in Deasoon ideas and finding out their meaning in the modern society. Ilsoon Gang considered Confucianism very important when he forms his Deasoon ideas and after all, he included Confucius ideas to Deasoon ideas to develop his own religious theory. The meanings of Deasoon ideas in the modern world are as follows: First, Deasoon's harmonious ideas on yin and yang can be a healing method to solve conflicts and confrontations of the modern society. Second, Deasoon's harmony between God and humans and ideas on human dignity is helpful to solve human isolation that the modern society faces. Third, Deasoon's ideas that human's hostility and grudge must be healed teaches loves and co-existence to humans. Fourth, Dotongjinkyeong, which is Deasoon's ideal world, is the world where communication between an individual and the whole, God and humans, a human and a human, and humans and the nature perfectly are harmonized.

In recent years the space where a robot works has been expanding to the human space unlike traditional industrial robots that work only at fixed positions apart from humans. A human in the recent situation may be the owner of a robot or the target in a robotic application. This paper deals with the latter case; when a robot vision system is employed to monitor humans for a surveillance application, each person in a scene needs to be identified. Humans, however, often move together, and occlusions between them occur frequently. Although this problem has not been seriously tackled in relevant literature, it brings difficulty into later image analysis steps such as tracking and scene understanding. In this paper, a probabilistic neural network is employed to learn the patterns of the best dividing position along the top pixels of an image region of partly occlude people. As this method uses only shape information from an image, it is simple and can be implemented in real time.

본 연구의 목적은 오늘날 포스트휴먼에 대한 논의에서 제기되는 인간 조건의 변화와 정체성에 대한 쟁점들을 SF 서사 속에 등장하는 다양한 존재들을 통해 살펴보면서 새로운 인간이해를 모색하는 데 있다. 과학기술의 비약적인 발전은 인간과 기계의 경계를 모호하게 만들면서 '인간 이후의 새로운 인간'의 탄생을 예고하고 있다. 기술의 발전은 영원한 생명을 꿈꾸는 인간에게 기계와의 결합을 통해 '생물학적 인간을 넘어선 인간' 생산을 가능하게 만들면서 인간은 점점 기계화되어 가는 반면에 기계는 외형 뿐 아니라 인간의 사고능력과 감정까지 닮아가는 로보 사피엔스 단계로 발전해 나가고 있다. 그러나 첨단기술에 의한 인간의 인위적인 변화는 전통적인 휴머니즘과 충돌함으로써 인간이해에 대한 또 다른 차원의 시각을 요구하고 있다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 과학기술의 진화에 따라 인간 조건이 어떻게 변화되고 있는지 살펴보고, SF 서사에서 등장하는 다양한 유형의 존재들을 통해 인간과 기계 간 공진화의 방향과 함께 새로운 주체로서의 가능성을 모색해 보고자 한다.

우리가 살아가고 있는 시대는 각 분야와 영역의 경계와 한계가 사라지고 서로 유기적으로 융합되고 공유되는 초연결성의 시대이다. 초연결성의 시대를 살아가는 그리스도인들은 거룩과 세속, 교회와 세상, 영혼과 육체, 신앙과 삶, 인간과 자연 등 다양한 구분과 단절로 삶의 방향을 잃어가고 있다. 그러나 초연결성 사회에서는 단절로 인한 분열과 갈등에서 벗어나 인간과 자연과 세상이 서로 연결되고 연대함을 통해 하나님나라를 구현해야 한다. 이를 위한 기독교교육의 방향성을 모색하기 위해 본 연구는 초연결성 시대의 특성과 초연결성의 핵심인 연대성의 원리를 살펴보았다. 연대성의 신학적 의미는 인간과 자연과 세상의 측면에서 살펴보았고, 이러한 이해를 바탕으로 초연결성 시대의 기독교교육의 방향을 모색한바 첫째, 시대와 세대의 흐름을 인식하되 절대적 가치를 따를 것 둘째, 페리코레시스적 존재양식을 가진 호모커넥투스의 신앙적 인간이해를 할 것 셋째, 연대적 관계성 속에서 함께 더불어 살아갈 수 있는 정의와 평화의 하나님 나라에 대한 교육을 할 것 등으로 요약할 수 있다.

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are the major catalysts involved in the biotransformation of various drugs, pollutants, carcinogens, and many endogenous compounds. Most of chemical carcinogens are not active by themselves but they require metabolic activation. P450 isozymes playa pivotal role in the metabolic activation. The activation of arylamines and heterocyclic arylamines (HAAs) involves critical N-hydroxylation, usually by P450. CYP1A2 plays an important role in these reactions. Broad exposure to many of these compounds might cause carcinogenicity in animals and humans. On the other hand, P450s can be also involved in the bioactivation of other chemicals including alcohols, aflatoxin B1, acetaminophen, and trichloroethylene, both in humans and in experimental animals. Understanding the P450 metabolic activation of many chemicals is necessary to develop rational strategies for prevention of their toxicities in human health. An important part is the issues of extrapolation between species in predicting risks and variation of P450 enzyme activities in humans.

A huge budget is spent on technological solutions to protect Information Systems from cyberattacks by organizations. However, it is not enough to invest alone in technology-based protection and to keep humans out of the cyber loop. Humans are considered the weakest link in cybersecurity chain and most of the time unaware that their actions and behaviors have consequences in cyber space. Therefore, humans' aspects cannot be neglected in cyber security field. In this work we carry out a systematic literature review to identify human factors in cybersecurity. A total of 27 papers were selected to be included in the review, which focuses on the human factors in cyber security. The results show that in total of 14 identified human factors, risk perception, lack of awareness, IT skills and gender are considered critical for organization as for as cyber security is concern. Our results presented a further step in understanding human factors that may cause issues for organizations in cyber space and focusing on the need of a customized and inclusive training and awareness programs.

Sexual behavior is crucial in life, yet comparatively little is known about the mechanisms in the sexual response in humans. A lot of theories and models have been developed to explain about the process of the sexual response in humans. The first model of sexual function was described by Masters and Johnson, defined the four-phase model (phases of excitation, plateau, orgasm and resolution). Helen Kaplan proposed a slightly different model of human sexual response by adding the conception of the desire phase. Some years later, a new model of circular sexual response pattern was described by Whipple and Brash-McGreer, who acknowledged the cyclic nature of women's sexual response. Basson presented an alternative model of women's normative sexual function, which featured a responsive form of desire in women's sexual response. Bancroft developed a new theoretical model, the Dual Control Model, which postulates sexual response and arousal is ultimately determined by the balance between the sexual activation or excitation system and the sexual inhibition system. The Sexual Tipping Point is a model created by Perelman, suggesting that a sexual response is determined by a balance between excitatory or inhibitory factors that may be psychological, organic, psychosocial, or cultural. A comprehensive understanding of sexual response and function is of paramount importance for the psychiatrist to study sex, offer counseling to the patient on sex, and practice sex therapy. In this literature, models of sexual response would be reviewed to understand the knowledge of the sexual functioning in humans.
