This article summarizes the structure of China's current social health insurance system and reviews the development status of China's private health insurance (PHI). China's medical security system is mainly composed of two parts: basic medical insurance (BMI) and PHI. Among them, the BMI provides reimbursement of basic medical expenses for the insured persons according to different proportions. PHI is a necessary supplement to the BMI and provides assistance to the insured persons in the event of illness or accident. By having PHI, people can obtain medical protection outside the coverage of BMI. In the development of PHI in China, the total medical cost is high and the insurance market size is large, but the proportion of PHI expenditure is low and the personal burden is high. Through this Chinese case, it will be helpful for mutual development between Korean PHI and national health insurance, for Korean insurance companies to enter the Chinese market, and for removing the medical burden on the people.

Presently, 3D printers manufactured by material extrusion are economical and easy to use, so they are being used in various fields. However, this study conducted a tensile test on the infill pattern and density of the PLA+ material, due to the limitations of long printing time as well as low mechanical strength. The infill area for the infill density change was measured, using a vision-measuring machine for four infill patterns (concentric, zigzag, honeycomb, and cross) in which the nozzle path was the same for each layer. The tensile strength/weight[MPa/g] and tensile strength/printing time[MPa/min] of the tensile specimens were analyzed. In this study, efficient infill density and patterns are suggested, for cost reduction and productivity improvement. Consequently, it was confirmed that the infill area and infill percentage of the four patterns, were not constant according to the infill pattern. And the tensile strength of the infill density 40% of the honeycomb pattern and infill density 20% of the cross pattern, tended to highly consider the weight and printing time. Honeycomb and cross patterns could reduce the weight of the tensile specimen by 19.11%, 28.07%, as well as the printing time by 29.56%, 52.25%. Tensile strength was high in the order of concentric, zigzag, honeycomb, and cross patterns, considering the weight and printing time.

A highly sensitive optical-fiber humidity sensor is demonstrated in this paper. By using Nafion-PVA sol-gel and single-mode optical fibers, the Fabry-Perot humidity sensor is easily fabricated. In the humidity range of 29%-72%, humidity-response experiments are carried out with a cycle of rising and falling humidity to investigate humidity-response characteristics. The experimental results show 2.25 nm/%RH sensitivity and a 0.9997 linear correlation coefficient, with good consistency. The changes in optical-path difference (OPD) and free spectral range (FSR) with humidity are also discussed. The humidity sensitivities of a typical sensor are 80.3 nm/%RH (OPD) and 0.03 nm/%RH (FSR). Furthermore, many humidity sensors with different Nafion-PVA sol-gel concentration and initial cavity length are experimentally investigated for humidity response. The results show that the sensitivity increases with higher Nafion ratio of the Nafion-PVA sol-gel. The influence of changing cavity length on sensitivity is not obvious. These results are helpful to research on optical-fiber humidity sensors with good performance, easy fabrication, and low cost.

With the rapid development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and digital transformation, scientific and technological innovation measures are being devised to overcome Korea's low-growth, high-cost structure. Accordingly, by examining the R&D investment evaluation system of R&D PIE (R&D Platform for Investment and Evaluation), which has been promoted by the Korean government in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, from the perspective of R&D transformation, this study aims to explore a new path for a sustainable national science and technology innovation system following digital transformation. In particular, from the perspective of R&D PIE, a MLP (Multi-level Perspective), which had been conducted as an abstract theoretical study, was attempted with specific cases and analysis for each of the three layers: niche, landscape, and regime. In conclusion, R&D PIE was intended to elevate the abstract R&D investment evaluation system to a platform that leads innovation in the digital space of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In addition, it was confirmed that the R&D PIE could be replaced or enhanced as a platform for innovation in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, thereby providing an alternative to job creation and an escape from economic crisis.

The Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) operates at ambient temperature as a low-temperature fuel cell. During its operation, voltage losses arise due to factors such as operating conditions and material properties, effecting its performance. Computational simulations of fuel cells can be categorized into 1D simulation and CFD, chosen based on their specific application purposes. In this study, we carried out an analysis validation using 1D geometry and compared its performance with the results from 2D geometry analysis. CFD allows for the representation of pressure, velocity distribution, and fuel mass fraction according to the geometry, enabling the analysis of current density. However, the 1D simulation, simplifying governing equations to reduce time cost, failed to accurately account for fuel distribution and changes in fuel concentration due to fuel cell operations. As a result, it showed unrealistic results in the cell voltage region dominated by concentration loss compared to CFD.

5G 목표 중 하나인 초신뢰성 저지연 통신에 도달하기 위해 멀티액세스 엣지 컴퓨팅 패러다임이 탄생했다. 이 패러다임은 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 네트워크 엣지에 더 가깝게 하며 서비스 지연 시간을 줄이기 위해서는 네트워크 엣지에 있는 여러 Edge Cloud에서 서비스 호스팅된다. 모바일 사용자의 경우 서비스 품질 유지를 위해 서비스를 가장 적합한 Edge Cloud로 마이그레이션하는 것은 중요하고 고이동성 시나리오에서는 서비스 마이그레이션 문제가 더욱 복잡해진다. 고정 이동 경로에서 사용자 이동성과 Edge Cloud 선택에 대한 어떤 영향을 미치는 건지 관찰하는 것이 이 연구의 목표다. Mobility-Aware Service Migration (MASM)은 고이동성 시나리오 동안 라우팅 비용과 서비스 마이그레이션 비용이라는 두 가지 주요 매개변수를 기반으로 서비스 마이그레이션을 최적화하기 위해 제안된다. 제안된 알고리즘을 기존의 그리디 알고리즘과 비교하여 평가한다.

일반적으로 무선 네트워크는 유선 네트워크에 비하여 고가의 무선 송수신기를 사용하여 설치 및 유지비용이 높다. 하지만, 터널 내 환경관리 시스템의 경우는 기본적으로 터널 내 환경 정보를 감지하여 최소한의 정보만을 중앙통제장치와 유선으로 연결된 지시 노드로 보내는 것이기 때문에 전송되는 데이터양이 매우 적고, 따라서 저속의 무선 송수신기는 낮은 비용으로 구현하여 적용 가능하다. 그리고 무선 네트워크에서는 유선 네트워크와는 달리 데이터 전달 경로를 결정하는 라우팅 문제가 발생한다. 센서에서 감지한 신호를 디지털화하여 얻은 데이터를 무선 송신기를 사용하여 직접 지시노드로 보내는 경우에는 라우팅 문제가 발생하지 않지만, 이 경우에는 상대적으로 고출력의 무선 송신기가 요구되어 무선 송신기 구현 비용이 증가하게 되고, 해당 센서 노드의 전력소모가 커지는 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는, 무선송신기의 출력을 줄이는 대신 인접한 센서 노드의 무선 송수신기를 이용한 중계를 통하여 지시노드까지 전달하도록 하는 방식을 사용할 수 있다. 그러나, 이 경우에는 해당 센서 노드에서 지시노드까지는 복수의 경로가 존재하기 때문에 최적의 경로를 선택하는 라우팅 알고리즘이 필요하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 터널 내 자동환경 관리 시스템에 적합한 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 추가로 센서 노드들을 각 터널 내에 부착 후 노드 등록 등의 초기화 과정을 거치면 자동으로 노드 간의 협업과정을 통해서 무선 네트워크가 구성될 수 있는 방안을 구현하였다.

Multicast group communication has many advantages in data centers and thus is widely used by many applications. It can efficiently reduce the network traffic and improve the application throughput. For the multicast application in data centers, an essential problem is how to find a minimal multicast tree, which has been proved to be NP-hard. In this paper, we propose an approximation tree-building method for the minimal multicast problem, named HD（Hamming Distance）-based multicast tree. Consider that many new network structures have been proposed for data centers. We choose three representative ones, including BCube, FBFLY, and HyperX, whose topological structures can be regarded as the generalized hypercube. Given a multicast group in BCube, the HD-based method can jointly schedule the path from each of receiver to the only sender among multiple disjoint paths; hence, it can quickly construct an efficient multicast tree with the low cost. The experimental results demonstrate that our method consumes less time to construct an efficient multicast tree, while considerably reduces the cost of the multicast tree compared to the representative methods. Our approach for BCube can also be adapted to other generalized hypercube network structures for data centers after minimal modifications.
