Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status and factors of elderly patients' hospitalization for hip replacement, knee replacement, and general spine surgery. Methods: National health insurance data in 2018 was provided by the National Health Insurance Service. We used multiple regression to analyze factors associated with the medical utilization of hip replacement, knee replacement, and general spine surgery in elderly patients over 65 years old. The dependent variables are the length of stay and total health expenditure. The independent variables are the demographic-social factors (sex, age, region, insurance type, income level) and surgery-related factors (institution type, location of the hospital, surgery classification). Results: The most common factor affecting surgery was the location of medical institutions. Compared with the medical institutions located in metropolitan, the length of stay in rural medical institutions was higher and total health expenditure was lower. The lower quartile of income, the higher the length of stay and total health expenditure. In addition, the variables of age, type of health insurance, and type of medical institution were statistically significant. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed the effect of sociodemographic factors and medical institution factors on the Healthcare Utilization of spinal and joint surgery.

The purpose of this study was to define the residents' current uses and satisfaction of a home automation system. The data were collected from 85 residents living in a selected intelligent apartment, from whom 72 were used for the final analysis. The results were as follows: 1) The educational background was the most significant variable affecting differences among the groups in terms of use of the home automation system. 2) Even though the over 50 years age group showed a tendency toward lower technology acceptance, their utilization rates of the home automation system were higher than those of the under 40 years age group. 3) The respondents with dual income showed higher rates of utilization of the home automation system than the single income group. 4) In spite of positive satisfaction level for the home automation system, many improvements were still requested.

Purpose - Based on previous studies, this study extends current research and investigates whether the sub-factors of emotional intelligence increase job satisfaction or employee intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and perceived organizational support. Research design, data, and methodology - This study categorizes service employees' (consultants) emotional intelligence into four sub-factors: regulation of emotion, appraisal of emotion, utilization of emotion, and expression of emotion. The study then investigates the sub-factor effects on job satisfaction. A total of 353 valid questionnaires were collected. Results - The results of the path analysis showed that appraisal, utilization, and expression of emotion had a positive effect on intrinsic motivation, and utilization of emotion had a positive effect on extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation had a positive effect on perceived organizational support and job satisfaction, and perceived organizational support had a positive effect on job satisfaction. Conclusion - As consultants' utilization of emotion is rendered as the ability to use emotion to improve performance, the conclusion is that such factors as monetary performance incentives are important in order to boost job satisfaction of the consultants.

The small-scale electroplating device was designed and fabricated for Ni-63 sealed source (foil type) with a high specific activity needed for production of betavoltaic battery. The condition of Ni electroplating was optimized by using fabricated electroplating device to establish a Ni-63 electroplating condition on the Ni foil. The results showed that the optimum surface morphology and thickness of Ni deposit was obtained for 1,758 seconds at a current density of $15mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ with 0.5% tween 20. Radioisotope Ni-63 electroplating was implemented under established condition. The radioactivity of Ni-63 sealed source was calculated to $28mCi{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, and the thickness of Ni-63 deposit was about $2.4{\mu}m$.

The side effects of using drugs can greatly threaten the health of the public. The reality is that there are very few reports of current side effects. This can be activated by linking adverse drug reactions reporting to the Drug Utilization Review (DUR) currently used by pharmacies. A study of the U.S. medication management system, where drug use assessment is activated, can find ways to activate adverse drug reactions reporting. In 'Pharm IT 3000', which is used as a medication management program in pharmacies, we examined how to enable reporting of adverse drug reactions. The literature study and research on actual program operation have found a convenient way to report side effects by linking the Pharm IT 3000 prescription preparation assessment to the item.

Purpose - An increase in automation has been as a result of digital technologies. The data will be instrumental in the determination of the services that are more necessary so that more resources can be allocated for them. The purpose of the current research is to investigate how big data utilization will help increase the profitability in the industry 4.0 era. Research design, Data, and methodology - The present research has conducted the comprehensive literature content analysis. Quantitative approaches allow respondents to decide, but qualitative methods allow them to offer more information. In the next step, respondents are given data collection equipment, and information is collected. Result - The According to qualitative literature analysis, there are five ways in which big data utilization will help increase the profitability in the industry 4.0 era. The five solutions are (1) Better Customer Insight, (2) Increased Market Intelligence, (3) Smarter Recommendations and Audience Targeting, (4) Data-driven innovation, (5) Improved Business Operations. Conclusion - Modern companies have been seeking a competitive advantage so that they can have the edge over other companies in the same industries providing the same services and products. Big data is that technology that businesses have always wanted for an extended period of time to revolutionize their operations, making their businesses more profitable.

This paper deals with a method to Improve the input current waveform in a single phase Rectifier. This method is based on the sophisiticated utilization of the auxiliary circuit consisting of two SCRs and a interphase reacter and the condenser necessary for reducing the fluctuating voltage in output side. The basic theories of the proposed system is treated, and its validity is verified with simulation.

The rock fragmentation system with a capacitor bank, switching device, cable and blasting electrode are described. Utilization of the chemical energy from the electrolyte and the pseudospark with a large current capacity suggested the commercialization possibility of the rock fragmentation system. The vibration and noise level of the pulsed blasting is acceptable in the most ground breaking. And also the electromagnetic force produced by the inductor is introduced for the rock fragmentation.
