Poststroke depression can have a secondary effect on social cognition, and this can lead to behavioral problems. The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of a Cognitive Stimulation Circulative Program(CSCP) based on occupational therapy. The participants of this study were 12 stroke patients. The CSCP was organized in such a way to promote the cognitive process. This program were carried out as a circuit program(16 sessions). As a result of this study, the depression scale of the subjects had statistically significant benefit(p<.05). Also, the evaluation results verified partial improvement in quality of life, and the relationship change scale which was used to evaluate role of physical and social cognitive function ability had statistically significant benefit(p<.05). The above results of this study verified that the CSCP was an efficient intervention program that reduces the depression of stroke patients and improve their social cognitive function ability, thus enhancing the quality of life.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the elements of the Sinmyung and the expression recognition of body movement in Korean dance of college students majoring in musical. The participants were 12 male and female college students in musical major who experienced in dance, song and acting. The program was composed of the experience of the Sinmyung: recognition of sound and dance, breathing and movement in the Korean dance, 8 hours twice a week for four weeks. As a qualitative approach is the discovery of the center of the process, we carried out an inductive analysis of the area on the basis of observation, in-depth interview and student report. The core of this analysis is to attempt to analyze contents concentrating on the recognition exploration of the Sinmyung sentiment and the body expression through sound and breathing. In conclusion, for college students majoring in musical, the expression recognition of the experience of the Sinmyung and the movement in the Korean dance contributes to the improvement of creative thinking through body perception, and the practical use of the capacity of image expression through concentration of sound and breathing. Finally, the results of this research could articulate with the value of body expression and the creative factors of college students majoring in musical.

최근 들어 정보통신 분야의 기술이 급격히 발전함에 따라 컴퓨터 사용의 증가와 임베디드 시스템 및 사회 각 분야에서 보안에 대한 의식이 점점 높아져 가고 있다. 각 분야에서 신체 정보를 이용한 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있는데 본 논문에서는 USB 캠을 이용한 실시간 얼굴 인식 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 카메라를 이용하여 얼굴을 인식하는 방법은 현재까지 여러 가지 방법들이 제시되어 왔지만 일반 pc에서 쓰는 USB 캠을 사용하여 제약 조건 없고 안정적인 인식 방법은 아직까지 나와 있지 않다. 얼굴영역을 주성분 변수로 변환하여 영상의 명암, 얼굴위치, 얼굴의 영역을 추출할 수 있는 기존의 시스템들이 많이 연구되어 왔는데 본 논문에서 제안된 방법에서는 일상생활에서 흔히 쓰는 USB 캠을 사용하여 기존의 CCTV와 같은 고가의 하드웨어를 대체하며 보다 효율적인 성능을 위하여 얼굴을 식별하기 위해 LVQ, FCMA, RBF 알고리즘을 적용한 시스템을 설계한다.

본 논문은 실버세대의 치매예방을 위한 제스처 인식 기반 3D기능성 게임을 제안한다. 제안된 기능성 게임은 전신 제스처 인식을 이용함으로써 사용자의 두뇌 사용능력과 신체활동성을 증가시켜 치매예방 효과를 향상시킬 수 있도록 구성하였다. 기존에 개발된 제스처 인식 기술에 사용된 카메라들은 인식률과 가동영역이 한계적이다. 보다 안정적인 전신 제스처 인식을 위해 3D depth 카메라로부터 사용자를 인식하고 사용자의 관절 정보를 획득하였으며 관절의 움직임을 분석하여 전신 제스처를 인식하였다. 게임 콘텐츠로는 치매의 대표적인 원인인 뇌세포의 퇴화에 초점을 맞춰 기억력, 논리력, 산술능력, 공간인지능력 등을 훈련할 수 있도록 구성하였다.

최근, 뷰티 산업 활성화와 더불어 소셜 미디어 확산으로 인해 아름다워지고자 하는 인간의 욕구가 과거보다 증대되어, 자신에게 어울리는 메이크업과 패션을 찾고자 하는 경향이 강해지고 있다. 이에 따라 자신을 돋보이게 하는 퍼스널 컬러가 주목받으면서 전문가에게 자신의 퍼스널 컬러를 진단받는 사람이 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 이러한 진단은 전문가의 주관적인 판단으로 결정되므로 정확한 진단을 받기 어려우며 진단에 따른 시간적, 비용적 소모가 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 온라인상에서 영상처리를 통해 효과적인 퍼스널 컬러 분석과 메이크업 추천이 가능한 시스템을 제안한다. 다양한 영상처리 방법을 통하여 사용자의 신체 영역을 추출하고, 색상 데이터 값을 이용하여 퍼스널 컬러를 분석하였으며 그에 따라 적절한 메이크업 콘텐츠를 추천하는 기법을 제안하였다. 마지막으로, 다양한 사용자로부터 만족도 실험을 통해 제안한 기법이 효과적임을 나타내었다.

The human body becomes vulnerable to various diseases due to deterioration in structure and function as it ages. In particular, changes in brain structure weaken the immune system against diseases such as vascular and metabolic neuropsychiatric diseases. In this study, we used a magnetic resonance imaging technique that allows non-invasive observation of brain structures and measurement of how the volumes of the brain, gray matter, white matter, and subcortical regions changes with aging in women aged 65 to 85 years. As a result of our investigation, we observed a significant linear decrease in subcortical regions with age. These results suggest that the changes due to aging in the brain structure area are closely related to neuropsychiatric diseases in old age, and can provide information in understanding the vulnerability of the brain in old age.

This study is to develop a fatigue scale for the private security guard for a private security guard to effectively manage fatigue were tested for validity and reliability. To achieve that, this study employed purposive sampling to draw 300 samples among private security guards working for the security firms registered in Seoul District Police Office as of 2014, and used 259 samples for final analysis. Fatigue scale was developed on the basis of the scale development methods and procedures in previous studies. For data processing, SPSSWIN 18.0 program was applied to conduct exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis, and AMOS 18.0 program was employed to conduct confirmatory factory analysis. This study came to the following conclusion. First, the validity of the fatigue measurement tool was high. In other words, content validity was high, and construct validity was also high. The factor loading of exploratory factor analysis was .452, and the standard value of confirmatory factor analysis was .403. Therefore, the tool satisfied the basis value of fit index. The sub categories of fatigue, finally drawn from validity test, were mental fatigue, nervous system dysfunction, physical deformity, and exhaustion. Secondly, the reliability of the fatigue measurement tool was high. In other words, according to item analysis, the correlation between items and their sub categories, and between items and total score was more than .602, relatively high. And the reliability coefficient (Cronbach's ${\alpha}$) was high, or more than .658. Fatigue Scale tool will be developed by private security guards in the present study is to measure the validity and reliability verification is clearly tired of the private security guards than the tools that are used in other studies in the existing area.

This case study is on the course of therapy with a client named E with Chromosome 15q Duplications Syndrome during the therapist's level 1 training, which offers a certification of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapist(NRMT), at the Nordoff-Robbins Music therapy Center at New York University. This study gives an overview of the clinical process with E as well as the Nordoff-Robbins approach. Yet it is also focused on the therapist's personal and clinical experience and growth throughout the course of therapy. It shows how the therapist experienced various challenging situations and obstacles in the clinical process. There were consistent and diverse trials and mistakes. Throughout the process, therapist could learn more deeply about E's physical, psychological and emotional needsand have new perspectives on how to be a music therapist. The therapist applied 'Qualities of Clinical-Musical Interaction', one of the concepts in Nordoff-Robbins Music therapy, to organize the work with E.

A stalking is becoming more diverse and the methods are developing over time as the society has changed over time due to the advancement of information technology but an initial countermeasure seems to be difficult as there is no sufficient legislations against such crimes as stalking. Our country passed laws regulating such stalking at 1999 and four more additional bills were proposed until the 18th National Assembly but they failed to become legalized. Two more additional bills were proposed during 19th National Assembly which are still pending. Crimes such as stalking violates and invades physical and psychological freedom of the victims and the crimes are severely inveterate and intentional. Advanced countries such as the United States, the Great Britain, Germany, and Japan enacted legislations that strictly regulates stalking and also appropriate responses. As these exemplary cases show, it is essential that our country also requires an effective legislations against crime of stalking and protecting a victim of the crime.
