Because of its convenience and compatibility with various image processing techniques, digital image representation of holograms is generally used in digital holography, and thus, quality assessment of digital holograms is an essential issue. This study proposes a new objective quality metric for digital phase hologram image processing. The proposed metric is based on a newly defined phase distortion created by taking the 2π periodicity of phase information into account. The experimental results show that the proposed metric correlates with reconstruction image quality better than the existing metric under random distortions and also works well with JPEG 2000 compression. It is expected to be broadly used in phase image processing and compression applications including phase holograms.

Mental status examination is an important stage in the assessment process because it serves as the foundation for establishing nursing diagnosis and intervention. Until now many students still feel difficult to understand the terms in the assessment of mental status. Interactive Mobile Learning in one of the media that is currently being developed. The use of this media will provide more in-depth learning opportunities, and students can practice their skills in carrying out practicals because of the mobility principle possessed by smartphones. The purpose of this study was to develop a smartphone-based app and evaluate the app's effectiveness by measuring nursing students' knowledge of mental status examination. Design: A randomized trial with a pre-and post-test design was conducted at a university in Indonesia. A total of seventy junior nursing students participated in this study. The intervention group received a smartphone-based app, and the control group received one-time lecture-based learning. We offered the experimental group the app and information about how to use it, and we encouraged them to use it. The control group received classroom instruction. Results: The intervention group scored significantly higher than the control group on knowledge score (t = 19.40, p = 0.000) and satisfaction with the learning method (t = 0.640, p = 0.021) Conclusion: These findings suggest that smartphonebased education could be an effective method in nursing education for teaching mental status examinations.

도시화는 불투수면의 증가를 야기 시켜 물순환 왜곡, 도시열섬효과, 비점오염물질 유출 등의 다양한 문제를 유발한다. 이러한 환경적 영향을 저감하기 위하여 도시지역과 같은 개발 사업에서는 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 기법이 중요한 대안으로 제시되고 있다. LID 기술의 주요 기작은 토양, 여재, 미생물과 식물 상호간의 수문학적 및 환경학적 기능이 포함되며, 이 중에서 여재는 LID 시설에서의 토양 내 투수율과 저류율 확보에 있어 중요한 구성요소이다. 따라서 본 연구는 LID 시설에 다양하게 활용되고 있는 제올라이트(Zeolite), 우드칩(Woodchip), 바텀애쉬(Bottom ash), 바이오세라믹(Bioceramic) 등의 여재를 단층 또는 복층으로 구성하여 강우유출수내 오염물질 저감 효율을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험에 사용된 모든 여재는 강우유출수에 포함된 입자상 물질과 중금속을 60% 이상 제거하는 것으로 나타났으며 여재층을 복층구조로 배치할 경우에 여재 입자간의 다양한 크기의 공극과 여재 내의 미세공극(micro-pores)을 충분히 확보할 수 있기에 입자상물질 및 중금속 저감에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유입수 내의 효과적인 중금속의 저감을 위해서는 중금속의 입자 및 용존성 함량비율에 따른 여재의 선정과 배치가 중요한 인자로 나타났다.

As the definition and role of design changes over time with the times and society, design education needs to update teaching methods to match it. The course design in this study began with an optimisation of the learning model based on previous research and analysis, followed by in-depth interviews, the application of the interview results to the final curriculum design, and finally a questionnaire to verify the positive effects of this teaching model. This teaching model has been applied to teach a pilot class in a university of applied sciences in China. The main characteristics of the course design are Project-Based Learning (PJBL) oriented, team cooperation centric, and an educational model developed based on peer assessment. In every stage of the UI design course, realistic project simulations are adopted, enhancing students' abilities through practical experience, teamwork, and peer assessment. The innovation lies in validating the effectiveness and advantages of this model at every stage of the UI design course, innovating existing teaching methods, optimizing learning models, and combining practice with evaluation. This research found that a project-oriented team course design based on PJBL has a high degree of effectiveness and relevance in each stage of the UI design course, significantly improving students' overall competence. It is expected that the results of this study can be applied in various ways to the course design of the courses that similar to design majors.

With the fast development of information and communication technologies, video streaming services and applications are increasing rapidly. However, the network condition is volatile. In order to provide users with better quality of service, it is necessary to develop an accurate and low-complexity model for Quality of Experience (QoE) prediction of time-varying video. Memory effects refer to the psychological influence factor of historical experience, which can be taken into account to improve the accuracy of QoE evaluation. In this paper, we design subjective experiments to explore the impact of Short-Term Memory (STM) on QoE. The experimental results show that the user's real-time QoE is influenced by the duration of previous viewing experience and the expectations generated by STM. Furthermore, we propose analytical models to determine the relationship between intrinsic video quality, expectation and real-time QoE. The proposed models have better performance for real-time QoE prediction when the video is transmitted in a fluctuate network. The models are capable of providing more accurate guidance for improving the quality of video streaming services.

생태계로 유입되는 POPs, EDCs, PBTs 등과 같은 화학물질에 의한 오염은 점점 복잡다양화 되고 있으며, 사람의 건강이나 생태계에 돌이킬 수 없는 피해를 가져올 우려 또한 증가되고 있다. 그러나 위해성 평가의 중요한 과정중 하나인 화학물질의 노출량 산정 부분에 대한 적정한 평가가 이루어지지 않는 경우가 많았다. 본 연구에서는 환경매체 중 화학물질량 산정에 있어 보다 효율적인 모델링 수행을 위하여, 화학물질의 물성 데이터베이스 및 지역 개황 데이터베이스 등과 프로그램으로 연계되어 있으며, 동시에 여러 대상물질이 시뮬레이션 가능한 다매체환경모델 MUSEM(Multi-media Simple box-systems Environmental Model)을 이용하여 62종의 화학물질에 대하여 일본 47개 지역의 환경매체 중 농도예측 및 동경지역에 대한 민감도 분석을 통하여 모델의 적용성을 검토하였다. 이러한 62종의 물질에 대한 매체별 잔류비(%)는 수역에 고비율로 분포하는 물질이 많은 것으로 예측되었다. 옥탄올-물 분배계수에 따른 환경매체중의 화학물질 농도변화는 도시산업용지의 토양 및 담수의 저질에서 상대적으로 크게 나타났으며, 대기와 담수에서는 상대적으로 작게 나타났다. 분해계수에 의한 환경매체중의 화학물질 농도변화는 육수역 물환경 및 도시산업용지의 토양, 육수역의 저질에서의 변화폭이 비슷하게 나타났으며 대기의 경우는 상대적으로 작게 나타났다.

The capillary number is used to represent the mobilization potential of organic phase trapped within porous media. The capillary number has been defined by three different forms, according to types of flow velocity and viscosity used in the definition of capillary number. This study evaluated the suitability of the capillary number definitions for representing TCE mobilization by constructing capillary number-TCE saturation relationships. The results implied that the capillary number should be correctly employed, according to interest of scale and fluid flow behavior. This study suggests that the pore-scale capillary number may be used only for investigating the organic-phase mobilization at the pore scale because it is defined by the pore-velocity and the dynamic viscosity. The Newtonian-fluid capillary number using Darcy velocity and the dynamic viscosity may be suitable to quantify flood systems representing Newtonian fluid behavior. For viscous-force modified flood systems such as surfactant-foam floods, the apparent capillary number definition employing macroscopic properties (permeability and potential gradient) may be used to appropriately represent the desaturation of organic-phases from porous media.

This study aims to understand how people evaluate the credibility of news they use every day and how such evaluation is related to their credibility assessment of news on media overall. For this purpose, this study examines the relationship between credibility of "news I use" and credibility of news on television and news portals overall, respectively. It also explores whether the relationship is moderated by the strength of political ideology. From regression analyses of a nationwide survey of 5,010 adults in South Korea in 2021, the results showed a lower level of credibility for "news I use" than for overall news on television and portals. The results also revealed a significant relationship between the credibility of "news I use" and credibility of overall news on the two media respectively. The expected moderation effect was significant for portal news, but not for television news. Findings and implications are discussed.

스테레오 영상은 기존의 영상과는 달리 사용자에게 깊이감을 제공한다. 따라서 스테레오 영상을 평가하기 위해서는 새로운 화질평가 모델이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상을 위한 객관적 화질평가 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 화질평가 방법은 기존의 화질평가 모델을 기반으로 하여 블로킹 현상과 경계 영역에서의 열화 현상을 검출하였으며, 깊이 정보를 고려하여 시점 간 화질 격차 검출을 통해 알고리즘의 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 확인을 위해 스테레오 영상의 주관적 화질평가를 수행하였으며 주관적 화질평가와의 상관성 측면에서 제안 알고리즘이 PSNR에 비해 우수함을 확인하였다.
