The age-friendly environments have the benefits that they provide not only the elderly, but also the disabled, children, pregnant, and young persons with the convenient environments. The study examined how degree the aged perceived their physical living environments were age-friendly. The data were collected from 525 old peoples living in Busan using by the person to person interview. All 34 items related to the age-friendliness of outdoor space and building, traffic, and housing were analyzed. The aged perceived that the agefriendliness of their living environments were mid-range. This implies that the improvements of their physical living environments were needed. The age-friendliness of housing area was the lowest among three areas. This means that the alternatives for improving the old persons' houses were needed. The characteristics which affected the aged' perception of the age-friendliness of physical living environments were economic level, housing type, home-ownership, and health condition.

본 연구에서는 한국사람이 모국어인 한국어 단어를 산출할 때와 외국어인 영어 단어를 산출할 때 관여하는 대뇌 영역을 fMRI 를 통해 조사하였다. 또한, 단일 언어를 산출할 때와 두 언어를 수시로 바꾸어서 인출할 때 관련되는 뇌 영역이 어디인지를 조사하였다. 실험에 참가한 피험자는 외국어를 공식적인 교육을 통해 12 세 근처에서 배우기 시작한 대학생이었다. 흔히 분류하는 방식으로 late learner로 구분되는 학생들이었다. 한 피험자가 세 종류의 실험 모두에 참여하였다. 피험자의 실험과제는 그림을 보고 그림에 해당되는 이름을 인출하여 말하는 과제였다. 실험 1, 2, 3 모두에서 사건관련 fMRI(event-related fMRI) 기법을 사용하였다. 실험 1에서는 그림을 보고 그림 이름에 해당되는 한국어 어휘와 외래어 어휘를 산출하게 하였다. 언어관련 뇌영역인 Wernicke 영역, Broca 영역, SMA 영역, SMG 영역 등에서 유의미한 활성화가 있었다. 실험 2 에서는 실험 1 에서 사용하지 않았던 그림을 사용하여 그림의 영어 이름과 외래어 이름을 인출하게 하였다. 외국어인 영어 단어를 산출할 때에도 모국어 단어를 산출할 때와 유사한 영역이 활성화되었다. 특히 외래어 산출 시에는 뇌 활성화 영역이 모국어와 영어 단어 산출할 때와 모국어 산출할 때 활성화되는 공통 영역이 활성화되었다. 모국어 산출과 영어 단어 산출의 차이점은 외국어 산출 시에 활성화 영역이 전반적으로 더 컸다는 것과 외국어 단어 산출 시에 Broca 영역보다 조금 밑쪽에서 그리고 모국어 단어 산출시에는 전전두엽 영역에서 더 많은 활성화가 있었다. 실험 3 에서도 실험 1 과 실험 2 에 사용하지 않았던 그림을 사용하였다. 실험 3 의 특이한 결과는 언어 switching 이 있는 경우에 전통적인 언어 영역 활성화 외에 전전두엽의 활성화가 컸다는 것이다. 아마도 언어를 바꾸어 가면서 단어를 산출하는 것이 전전두엽의 정보선택과정에 많은 영향을 주었던 것으로 해석된다. 전체적으로 어휘 산출시에 모국어 어휘, 외국어 어휘, 외래어 등을 산출할 때 공통되는 언어 영역과 언어 특성적 영역이 활성화된다고 결론지을 수 있을 것 같다.

This paper aims to understand the conceptual definition and the characteristics of reality shock in new graduate nurses. We analyzed the data using the hybrid model, initially introduced by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim. The data used in this study were collected from six recently graduated nurses who work in S-si and G-si. Another part of the data was obtained from literature review regarding Reality Shock. We categorized Reality Shocks in recently graduated nurses into nine attributes within a three-dimension model. The dimensions include "cognitive", "emotional", and "situational" domains. The cognitive domain is to be aware of the factor that causes Reality Shock. The emotional domain is the negative emotional responses that appear when facing a situation causing Reality Shock. The situational domain is the sort of circumstantial situations that cause Reality Shock. Reality Shock is defined as recently graduated nurses having several negative emotions, such as powerlessness, difficulty in peer relationships, confusion, and pressure due to (i) the differences between reality of nursing and what they have learned in school, (ii) the differences between an ideal situation and the real situation, (iii) the lack of expertise of senior nurses, (iv) a situation without the respect from colleagues, and (v) the overloaded role compare with the expectations. In conclusion, we provide a guideline for establishing a strategy to reduce Reality Shock in recently graduated nurses by identifying the concept of Reality Shock.

LIDAR data are useful for forest applications such as bare-earth DEM generation for forest areas, and estimation of tree height and forest biomass. As a core preprocessing procedure for most forest applications, this study attempts to develop an efficient method to detect forest areas from LIDAR data. First, we suggest three perceptual cues based on multiple return characteristics, height deviation and spatial distribution, being expected as reliable perceptual cues for forest area detection from LIDAR data. We then classify the potential forest areas based on the individual cue and refine them with a bi-morphological process to eliminate falsely detected areas and smoothing the boundaries. The final refined forest areas have been compared with the reference data manually generated with an aerial image. All the methods based on three types of cues show the accuracy of more than 90%. Particularly, the method based on multiple returns is slightly better than other two cues in terms of the simplicity and accuracy. Also, it is shown that the combination of the individual results from each cue can enhance the classification accuracy.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among cognitive function, activities of daily living (ADL), participation and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly. Methods : Cognitive function, ADL, participation and quality of life were assessed in the 144 elderly people residing in the community. We used MMSE-K for measuring cognitive function, K-ADL for ADL, K-ACS for participation, and GQOL for quality of life. Results : Cognitive function was significantly correlated with social activity of participation and quality of life (physical health, psychological health, social relations and economic level). ADL was significantly correlated with participation (instrumental ADL, leisure activity) and all sub-areas of quality of life. Social activity of participation were significantly correlated with all subarea of quality of life except physical health. Among the variables, the most relevant variable was leisure activity. Conclusion : It was related to quality of life in the order of participation, ADL, and cognitive function. Among the sub-areas of participation, leisure activity was the most correlated with quality of life. This study, thus, aimed to provide basic data for successful elderly life by examining the correlation between cognitive function, daily life activity, participation and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly.

The purpose of this study is to research psychological and social devices to foster self-regulated learning of Korean adolescents. This study investigated metacognitive, motivational, and behavioral factors of self-regulated learning through current research. In terms of metacognitive factors, we reviewed the importance of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies of adolescents for better self-regulated learning. Especially we gave a great emphasis on the role of comprehension monitoring metacognitive strategy for the learning to read in this review. For motivational factors, recent research of self-regulated learning has tended to focus on self-efficacy and goal orientation. The current research examining behavioral factors of self-regulated learning has tended to focus on time management and academic procrastination. Research findings in the motivational aspect suggest that we need to develop the program to improve adolescents' self-efficacy and recognize new re-conceptualization of the goal theory. Research findings in the behavioral aspect recommend practical tips and strategies to improve time management skills and to overcome academic procrastination. Finally, future directions for research are discussed.

This study analyzed the effect of the cognitive style of field dependence/independence to the information-seeking behaviors of 250 undergraduate students. The cognitive style of field dependence/ independence was examined by Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT), information-seeking behaviors were examined by information-seeking performances, and survey for information-seeking behaviors. As a result of the analysis, the cognitive style of field dependence/independence affected items of information-seeking performances except one item among items set in this study. The cognitive style, the cognitive characteristics acting in the process of cognitive activity affected the actual activities of information-seeking behaviors. The cognitive style of field dependence/independence affected the seeking process except the results of seeking and general information-seeking behaviors in the areas of information-seeking behaviors. Therefore, the study of cognitive style can be effective in the seeking process areas of information-seeking behaviors.
