This study was undertaken to determine the effects of SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) and visual convergence biofeedback on the proprioception and neck disability of patients with chronic neck dysfunction. A total of 31 patients with neck dysfunction were assigned to either SNAGs (n = 16) or biofeedback (n = 15). The groups were assessed for proprioception and neck disability, before and after the intervention. The SNAGs were performed using belt with flexion, extension and right-left rotation, whereas biofeedback training included visual feedback training with deep neck flexor. Intervention was implemented for 20 minutes, twice a week for 4 weeks. Biofeedback training a showed significant effect on the joint position sense (left and right rotation) as compared to the SNAGs group (p< 0.05), whereas neck disability index was significantly effective for SNAGs (p< 0.05). Ed. Notes: The previous statement lacked clarity. I have suggested the edit as per my understanding. Please review and revise appropriately, if required. Therefore, the SNAGs technique is effective for neck function, and biofeedback training is a positive intervention method for enhancing the proprioceptive sensation. In future studies on patients with neck pain, it may be possible to select an intervention method based on the characteristics of the disease.

This research aims to assess whether neurofeedback training can reduce theta waves in adolescents. The experiment was conducted on 35 early youths living in Gyeonggi-do at youth counseling centers during April-October. According to circumstances and opinions of participants in the pre-brain analysis, they were classified into a non-training group (A), 12-week training group (B), and 24-week training group (C), containing 10, 15, and 10 members, respectively. EEG measurement and neurofeedback training was performed using the prefrontal 2-channel NeuroharmonyS and Brain Optimization program. EEG data was processed utilizing Brain Analysis ver1.3. Deducted data was converted to SPSS 21.0 to enable statistical processing. As a strategy to reduce theta through the Beta increase training, we applied the appropriate Alpha, SMR, Beta low reward training to the individual. Study results confirmed that theta waves of adolescents decreased through the prefrontal neurofeedback training. Groups (B) and (C) exhibited a greater decrease in theta waves compared with the control group.

In the actual classroom the so-called flow learning is able to motivate the students through face-to-face feedback, and to meet their needs for educational achievement. By contrast, the so-called e-learning method falls short of the satisfactory level of real-life interaction, which makes many learners drop out or give up on their learning. In order to better the e-learning environment, this study presents a dialogue-based feedback system that improves the flow learning of the learners' in the classroom. This newly developed system was applied at the actual school. The result is that the experimented group improved its flow learning, compared with the controlled group. In the former group, each individual showed some consciousness of objective and challenge following the concrete feedback. That is to say, this system enhances the attitude of an active participation and induces the flow learning, thanks to the dialogue-based feedback and the sustained interest in learning. In conclusion, the significance of this study lies in suggesting the direction of a new learning method development in the e-learning environment.

정보검색 시스템의 검색 효율 향상을 위해서 다양한 적합성 피드백 방법이 개발되었다. 그러나 한국어 정보검색 시스템을 위한 적합성 피드백에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 이 논문에서는 기존에 개발된 적합성 피드백 방법을 한국어 정보 시스템에 적용하여 검색 효율을 비교하고, 새로운 적합성 피드백 방법을 개발 적용하여 기존의 방법들과 검색 효율을 비교분석하였다. 적합성 피드백은 원질의문을 확장할 단어 선택과 선택된 단어 가중치 부여로 이루어진다. 원질의문이 입력되면 검색된 적합문서에서 원질의문을 단어와 밀접한 관계가 있는 단어를 선택하기 위하여 가중치를 부가한후, 원질의문에 추가하여 질의문을 확장한다. 이 논문에서는 원질의문 확장을 위한 단어 선택과 단어 가중치 부여를 위해 3가지 값을 사용한다. 첫째, TF는 적합문서 내의 단어 빈도의 총합이다. 둘째, idf는 해당 문서집단의 역문헌빈도이다. 셋째, r/R은 검색된 적합문서 중에서 해당단어가 있는 적합문서의 비율을 나타낸다. TF와 idf는 정보검색 시스템에서 일반적으로 사용되고있는 값이고 r/R은 이 논문에서 제안한 새로운 값이다.

The purpose of the study was two folded: to examine whether form-focused instruction (FFI) with corrective feedback (CF) is effective for the acquisition of the target linguistic forms and to find out the extent to which of the students' perceptions as well as their attitudes towards English instruction that they received. Tests and questionnaires were implemented to 122 Korean EFL students from eight classes enrolled in an English communication course. They were randomly assigned to three groups: the input-based group, who received typographical input enhancement materials, so-called the TIE group, the output-based group, who performed dictogloss tasks, so-called the DICT group, and the control group (CG). The data analysis was made on both tests and questionnaires by using SPSS 21.0 for Windows. The study found that different types of FFI with CF contributed to the improvement of students' grammatical knowledge and both the TIE and DICT task group students positively changed their perceptions and understanding as well as their attitudes towards the English instruction given, and students in all groups preferred pair work activities. In addition, most of the TIE and DICT students showed their interest and satisfaction with English class, whereas the CG group students did not. Based on the findings, this study suggested that well-planned and properly-chosen FFI in the form of pair work activities should be applied in classrooms with consideration of students' instructional preference in Korean EFL contextual settings.

This study investigates the determinants of strategic positional change. Specifically, the study suggests performance feedback affects to a firm's strategic repositioning. Performance feedback is a concept that a firm decides whether success or not by comparing its performance relative to its aspiration level. Prior studies successively discover diverse behaviors. The study suggests three unexplored relationships between performance gaps and strategic positioning. First, when a firm's performance is below relative to its aspiration level, that firm's strategic position will be deviate from the industry norm. Second, as the degree of industrial density increases, the tendency that a firm's strategic position becomes deviate from the industry norm decreases. Third, when the degree of reference group's performance decreases, the tendency that a firm's strategic position becomes deviate from the industry norm decreases. For empirical analysis, this study examines data of 538 firms that in North America crude petroleum and natural gas industry. The result reveals that the direction of a firm's strategic change is shaped when firms' performance is below relative to aspiration level. Also, this relationship is moderated as industrial density changes or when reference groups' performance decreases. This study contributes to the current literature by explaining how a firms' strategic position is decided. Also, this study reveals that reference groups' performance could affect to organizational choice.

Objectives: This study examined the effect of mood and personality characteristics on psychophysiological responses measured by a biofeedback system in a normal population. Methods: Fifty healthy volunteers without any history of medical or psychiatric illnesses participated in this study. We measured the Spielberger trait anxiety inventory, Beck depression inventory, and Eysenck personality questionnaires in these subjects. Using the J & J biofeedback system, we also measured skin temperature, electrodermal response, forearm and frontal electromyography (EMG)s in 3 experimental conditions of baseline, stress, and recovery phases. Results: Trait anxiety did not show any significant correlation with psychophysiological responses except stress response in forearm EMG levels(r=0.282, p<0.05). Depressed mood was negatively correlated with forearm EMG levels in baseline (r=-0.299, p<0.05) and recovery phases(r=-0.314, p<0.05). Subjects with relatively high levels of depressed mood showed different stress and recovery responses in frontal EMG levels compared with those with relatively low levels of depressed mood (F=4.26, p<0.05). Extroverted subjects showed higher levels of forearm EMG than introverted ones in stress phase. Conclusion: Mood and personality characteristics in healthy subjects are closely related with psychophysiological responses measured by a biofeedback system. We suggest that mood and personality characteristics should be considered as important variables in analyzing abnormal psychophysiological responses in some psychiatric patients.
