The current status and future prospects of parasitic infections in Korea is briefly reviewed. Soil-transmitted helminth infections including ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm infections decreased remarkably. owing to the national control activities excuted by the Korea Association of Health Promotion(formerly Korea Association of parasite Eradication) using mass heath education. Important recent trends include reemergence of vivax malaria since 1993, persistence of food-borne trematode infections including clonorchiasis and intestinal trematode infections, increased detection of zoonotic parasitosis, close-up of infection with opportunistic parasites including cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, and pneumosytosis, increase of imported tropical infectious disease, appearance of new parasitic disease such as gymnophalloidiasis, and increase of accidental infections with free-living amoebae. These trends represent greatly changed overall patterns of parasitic infections in Korea.

The policy trends of use and the development of nuclear power in the United States, France, United Kingdom. Germany, Russia, China, Japan and Korea are briefly investigated. Nuclear power technology has been developed as the national policy in the nuclear-advanced countries. 50 years has passed since the declaration of "Atoms for Peace" by USA President Eisenhour in December 1953. Recently, it appears to revitalize the nuclear power program in world major countries in order to recover the shortage of electric power and to curb the excess emission of carbon dioxide as well as to secure competitiveness in electricity markets. Advanced countries are making new initiatives for the development of the fourth generation nuclear power system. Furthermore, wide-ranged use and development of nuclear power technologies are expected in district heating in commercial sectors, power in the space exploration, and propulsion power of large tankers and spaceships. High temperature gas cooled nuclear power reactor will be applied for mass production of hydrogen energy in the future.

Polymer solar cells have become one of the rising next generation solar cells due to their potential for lightweight and bendable plastic solar modules. Recently, the power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells has reached ~8 %, which can make ~6 % plastic solar modules when it comes to the modular aperture ratio of ~80 %. Although this efficiency is far behind that of conventional inorganic solar cells, the plastic solar modules are expected to create new energy market into which the inorganic solar modules could not make inroads. In the near future, the plastic solar modules can be integrated with consumer electronics that should overcome the regulation of energy consumption. For this application, the polymer solar cells should be fabricated in a variety of module shapes, which can be resolved by employing conventional and/or advanced coating and molding technologies of plastics products. In this tutorial, the fundamental aspect of polymer solar cells will be briefly introduced and then recent trends in terms of materials and devices will be reviewed together with showing recent results in organic nanoelectronics laboratory.

We examined progress in oral health of Korean 5 year olds children and dental public health infrastructure since the National Health Promotion Plan 2010 Oral Health Objectives were issued. We summarize trends in the prevalence of dental caries and trends in national public oral health program activities and budget. The Oral Health Objectives were achieved in 2006. Oral health in Korean preschool children improved considerably by improving of lifestyle and consumption of fluoride containing toothpaste. Although the number of public oral health center and the budget of oral health education were increased, the impact of public oral health program for preschool children was not influential. New oral health program for infants such as fluoride varnish application and strengthening of existing public oral health program should be performed for continuing improvement of oral health in Korea.

We propose an Executive Information Systems (EIS) Architecture for chief officers of the Air Force using data warehousing method. This architecture has two main proposes. The one is to provide the information for chief officers to control and command their organizations effectively by analyzing operation data at normal times. The other is to provide chief officers with the information about current situation so that they may make right and rapid decisions at emergency. The architecture introduced here is one that analyzes operational trends as well as current trends in a hierarchical organization environment. System analysis and design techniques for the Air Force EIS such as data flow diagram, system structure, entity-relational diagram, and third normal form of relational database were presented. After prototype screens are demonstrated, benefits of new EIS architecture were also discussed as a conclusion.

With the widespread use of multifunctional devices, haptic sensation is a promising type of sensory channel because it can be applied as an additional channel for transferring information for traditional audiovisual user interfaces. Many researchers have shed new light on non-contact haptic displays for their potential use on ambient and natural user interfaces. This paper introduces several of the latest schemes for creating a mid-air haptic sensation based on their transfer medium: ultrasonic phased arrays, air nozzles, thermal and plasmonic lasers, and electromagnets. We describe the principles used in delivering haptic sensation in each technology, as well as state-of-the-art technologies from leading research groups, and brief forecasts for further research directions.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been recognized as a new networking technology for the upcoming data-centric 4th industrial revolution based society. In addition, it has noted that Pub/Sub-style communication is rapidly growing in areas including big data processing and microservice as well as the existing Internet of Things and social networking technologies. Therefore, ICN is highly needed to efficiently support Pub/Sub-style communication for successful deployment as a next-generation network infrastructure technology. This paper summarizes the recent research trends of Pub/Sub communication technologies over ICN, and discusses future research issues.

The paradigm of mobile communication technology has changed from an increase in transmission capacity to service-based technologies satisfying various types of service requirements. One of the new paradigms is a service that provides users with a QoE (Quality Of Experience (QoE), at anytime and anywhere. 5G defines various technologies such as dense network structures and beam selection for increasing the transmission capacity and ensuring the quality of experience so as to satisfy this requirement, and related research is underway. In this paper, we describe the definition of a 5G small cell and 5G network structure as well as research trends of standardization and related technologies for constructing optimal solutions for mobile users in dense networks based on small cells.

"Artificial Intelligence+" is a key strategic direction that has garnered the attention of several global medical device manufacturers and internet companies. Large hospitals are actively involved in different types of medical AI research and cooperation projects. Medical AI is expected to create numerous opportunities and advancements in areas such as medical imaging, computer aided diagnostics and clinical decision support, new drug development, personal healthcare, pathology analysis, and genetic disease prediction. On the contrary, some studies on the limitations and problems in current conditions such as lack of clinical validation, difficulty in performance comparison, lack of interoperability, adversarial attacks, and computational manipulations are being published. Overall, the medical AI field is in a paradigm shift. Regarding international standardization, the work on the top 10 standardization issues is witnessing rapid progress and the competition for standard development has become fierce.
