This study examined the relative effects of positive and negative reinforcement on customer service behaviors. In addition, we examined whether the intervention would lead to response generalization on non-target behaviors. Five employees at three different convenient stores participated and ABC/ACB within-subject design was adopted. For the three participants, followed by the baseline(A), the positive reinforcement was first introduced(B) and the negative reinforcement(C) was introduced for the next phase. For the remaining two participants, the negative reinforcement(C) was first introduced after baseline(A) and the positive reinforcement (B) was introduced. Results showed a greater improvement in target behaviors under the positive reinforcement condition than that of the negative reinforcement condition. In addition, both reinforcement condition cause response generalization on non-targeted service behaviors, however, the comparable effects was found between two reinforcement conditions. Post-interview indicated that participants experienced positive emotions under positive reinforcement condition and negative emotions under negative reinforcement condition. These results suggest that the he techniques using positive reinforcement can be more effective and efficient to improve the work performance.

This study examines whether the reinforcement theory could be effectively applied to teaching assistant robots between a robot and a student in the same way as it is applied to teaching methods between a teacher and a student. Participants interacted with a teaching assistant robot in a 3 (types of robots: positive reinforcement vs. negative reinforcement vs. both reinforcements) by 2 (types of participants: honor students vs. backward students), within-subject experiment. Three different types of robots, such as 'Ching-chan-ee' which gives 'positive reinforcement', 'Um-bul-ee' which gives 'negative reinforcement', and 'Sang-bul-ee' which gives both 'positive and negative reinforcement' were designed based on the reinforcement theory and the token reinforcement system. Subjective impressions and preferences were measured according to the types of robots and the types of participants. Participants preferred the positive reinforcement robot most, and the negative reinforcement robot least. Regarding the number of stimulus, in case of the negative reinforcement robot for honor students, the less the stimulus is, the more positive the impressions toward the robot are. The findings demonstrate that the reinforcement interaction is important and effective factor which determines children's preferences and impressions for teaching assistant robots. The results of this study can be implicated as an effective guideline to interaction design of teaching assistant robots.

기계나 구조물 파괴의 대부분은 노치부를 기점으로 하여 발생하기 때문에 첨단복합재료를 노지부 재로서 안전하면서도 경제적으로 사용하기 위해서는 각종 조건하에 있어서 강도특성을 명확히 하는 것은 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 노치를 갖는 복합재료를 이용하여 각종조건하에서 강도특성평가실험을 행하였으 며, 얻어진 결과를 종합하면 다음과 같다. (1) 첨단복합재료 노치재는 試驗片의 幾可學的 形狀과는 관계없이 노치반경 p만에 의해 결정되는 최대탄성응력 $\sigma_{max}$일정의 條件下에서 破t짧된다. (2) 破斷時 최소단면에서의 공칭응력 $\sigma_{c}$와 응력집중계수 $K_{t}$와의 관계에 있어서,$\sigma_{c}$의 값이 $K_{t}$의 증대와 더불어 떨어지고 있는 부분과, $K_{t}$와 관계없이 거의 일정하게 되고 있는 부분으로 나누어지는 現象은 노치재의 回轉굽힘 또는 인장압축파열에서 보여지는 현상과 外觀上 對應하고 있다. 즉, 정적파괴와 피로파괴는 파괴의 양상이 비슷하다 (3) PEN수지단체의 경우, 피로균열발생은 점발생적 피로균열이 최대탄성응력에 의해 지배되며, 노치에 만감하며,균열전파수명은전수명에 비해 상당히 짧다. (4) 단탄소섬유강화복합재료의 경우, 피로균열은 섬유端에 응력이 집중하기 때문에 일반적으로 섬유端에서 아주 빠른 시기에 발생하지만, 섬유가 피로균열진전에 대해 방해물로 작용하기때문에 아주 천천히 전파한다. (5) 短탄소鐵維는 피로균열발생에 대해서는 負의 강화작용 전수명의 극히 초기단계에 피로균열 발생을, 피로균열전파에 대해서는 正의 강화작용을 한다. (6) 단탄소섬유를 PEN에 강화함으로 인해 정적강도 보다 피로강도에 더 큰 강화효과를 초래했으며, 선형노치역학의 개녀은 첨단 복합재료의 강도평가에 대단히 유효했다.

Internet only Banks in Korea have acquired more than seven million customer base, but most of the accounts are not active. As financial products tend to be similar, customer affect plays more crucial role than service features in continuance intention. The purpose of this research is to study about the impact of positive and negative affect on the continuance intention. The result indicated that positive affect is positively related to continuance intention, and negative affect is negatively related to continuance intention. Also expectation confirmation is positively related to positive affect. The results imply Internet only Banks need to focus on customer's positive affect and expectation confirmation to improve continuance intention.

This study was intended to implement ankle joint dorsi flexion training against ankle muscule strength weakening that erodes stroke patients' gait performance to examine the effect of the training on stroke patients' plantar pressure and gait ability. In this study, 36 stroke patients diagnosed with stroke due to cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage were divided to measure 10MWS which are stroke patients' gait variables maximum plantar pressure by area of the sole by collecting data using an F-scan system during gait. Given these results of the study, compared to other training groups, the ankle muscule strength reinforcing training group showed statistically significant increases of maximum plantar pressure in the great toe, the toe and the first metatasal areas too and thus it can be said that this training increases forward thrust during stroke patients' foot end taking off and positively affects stroke patients' ability to perform gait.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of the apply of lumbar stabilization exercises and lumbar strengthening exercises using Medx machine on back functions such as static balance, lumbar reposition sense, and back pain(VAS) in chronic low back pain. This study divided 30 chronic low back pain patients who experienced only lumbar back pain(male: 5, female: 10) into a lumbar stabilization exercise group and a complex exercise group, and then performed their respective exercise programs for three times a week over a 8-week period. The lumbar static balance, lumbar reposition sense, and lumbar back pain were measured using a pair t-test within each group, and were also compared between two groups using an independent t-test. The results of the present study were as follows: Both groups exhibited statisti cally significant increases after performing their own exercise program in the static balance, lumbar reposition sense, and lumbar back pain(p<.05). However, the comparison of two groups confirmed that the complex exercise group resulted in greater effects than the lumbar stabilization exercise group(p<.05). In conclusion, muscle strengthening and stabilization exercises in chronic low back pain patients are considered to not only relieve back pain, but also improve various back functions.

This study analyzed the effects of an exercise program that combined lumbar stabilization exercise and muscle strengthening exercise and an exercise program that applied only lumbar muscle strengthening exercise on multifidus muscle cross-sectional area, static posture control ability, and low back pain in patients with CLBP. For the study method, 28 patients with CLBP were divided into two exercise propram groups and exercised three times a week for 8-weeks. The data analysis of this study used the t-test to compare before and after group exercise program application, and between each group (p<.05). As a result of the study, significant results were found before and after application of the exercise program within each group, such as multifidus muscle cross-sectional area, static posture control ability, and low back pain (p<.05). Between each group, the exercise program that combined lumbar stabilization exercise and muscle strengthening exercise was found to be more effective (p<.05). In conclusion, it was found that the exercise program with additional lumbar stabilization exercise improved the structure and function of various lumbar vertebrae and reduced lumbar pain.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an exercise program for lumbar stabilization on static and dynamic balancing and gait of stroke patients. The subjects were 27 stroke patients, who were divided into an experimental group(n=14) and a control group(n=13). The exercise was conducted for 30 minutes a day, four times a week, and for six weeks. The variables included static and dynamic standing balance and gait, which were verified before and after the lumbar stabilization exercise. Using the IBM SPSS(19.0 version), data were analyzed with t-test and two-way ANOVA to validate the differences before and after the experiment and between the groups. The significance level was set at α = .05 and the results of this study are as follows. First, statistically significant differences were found in the static standing balance after the exercise (P< .05). Second, there were statistically significant differences in the dynamic standing balance after the exercise (P< .05). Third, statistically significant differences were found in the gait of the patients after the exercise (P< .05). In addition, the interactions between the two groups showed significant differences. These results suggest that stroke patients need a variety of lumbar exercises and that the lumbar stabilization exercise can improve physical treatment and health of the patients, having positive effects on their quality of life. Further studies are necessary to explore the applications of various lumber exercises.
