본 연구는 두 집단지성의 가장 대표적인 서비스인 네이버 지식iN과 위키피디아의 구조적, 경험적 차이를 바탕으로 생산의 차원에서 생산 주기, 생산 참여자, 생산물의 모델을 설정하고, 새롭게 탄생하는 지식을 중심으로 검증함으로써 최종 지식 소비 행위를 반영한 각각의 종합모델을 도출하였다. 우리는 웹에서 집단지성의 일상화를 확인할 수 있다. 지식 획득 매체가 매스미디어에서 인터넷으로 변화하는 과정에서 등장한 포털 및 검색사이트는 지식의 생산이 전문가패러다임에서 소비자 중심으로 재편될 수 있는 가능성을 열어주었다. 그리고 이러한 생산 방식의 변화는 '지식'의 개념 역시 변화시키고 있다. 즉, 집단지성이라는 새로운 웹2.0의 현상이 지식생산방식을 변화시키고 변화된 지식생산방식은 '지식'자체를 변화시킨다는 이론적 가설을 도출할 수 있는 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 새로운 현상들을 분석하기 위해서는 먼저 보다 엄밀하게 집단지성의 개념을 규정할 필요성에 출발하였다. 현재 집단지성이라는 이름으로 불리면서 급격히 성장하고 있는 위키 방식의 인터넷 서비스와 지식검색 방식의 인터넷 서비스를 비교함으로써 보다 정교한 집단지성의 모델을 구축하고자 하였다. 위키형 집단지성과 지식검색형 집단지성의 차이점은 경험적으로도 뚜렷하게 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 경험적 차이와 기존의 문헌에서 밝혀진 사실들을 바탕으로 두 서비스의 지식생산 방식을 생산플로우, 생산참여자 성향, 생산물(지식)의 성향과 같이 세 영역으로 나누어 각각의 가설 모델을 설정하고 이 모델을 선정된 질의어를 바탕으로 검증한 뒤에 최종적인 모델을 도출하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 지식검색형 집단지성은 '질문-답변-채택'의 구조이고, 그 구조 속에서 '질문기-답변기-순서화기'를 거쳐 하나의 지식 덩어리인 'K-let'을 생산한다. 생산된 'K-let'들은 지식검색서비스의 데이터베이스에 축적되고, 이는 공통된 질의어를 기준으로 소비자들에 의해서 검색되어 소비된다. 하나의 질문에 대해 여러 개의 답변들이 존재하고, 답변자의 성향은 크게 전문성과 체계성을 바탕으로 한 전문가형 답변자와 경험적이고 의견지향적인 대화형 답변자로 나눠진다. 다수의 네티즌들의 참여에 의해서 지식의 생산이 진행되므로 질문의 성향 역시 사실, 의견, 경험 등 다양한 스펙트럼을 가지는 모델로 설정하였다. 반면에 위키형 집단지성은 개방형 플랫폼을 바탕으로 한 백과사전의 형식이며, 이러한 형식 속에서 최초의 개념어 등록과 다수의 편집활동을 거치면서 완성되지 않는 하나의 아티클인 'W-let'을 생산한다. 이러한 'W-let'은 생성 초기에 소수에 의한 활발한 내용 입력 활동으로 어느 정도의 안정화를 거친 후에는 꾸준한 다수의 수정활동을 통해서 'W-let'의 생명력을 유지함으로써 지식의 실제적인 변화를 반영한다. 생산된 'W-let'들은 위키형 집단지성 서비스의 데이터베이스에 축적되고, 이것들은 내부링크를 통해서 모두 연결되어 있다. 백과사전 형식으로 하나의 개념어를 설명하는 하나의 아티클은 오로지 사실적인 지식들로만 구성되나 내부링크와 외부링크를 통해서 다양한 스펙트럼을 가지는 모델로 설정하였다. 위와 같이 설정된 모델을 바탕으로 공통된 질의어 및 개념어를 선정하여 각각의 서비스에 노출시켰다. 이를 통해서 얻어진 각 서비스의 데이터베이스에 축적된 모든 데이터들 중에서 일정한 기간을 기준으로 각각의 모델 검증에 필요한 데이터를 추출하여 분석하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 그 결과 지식검색형 집단지성에서는 '질문-답변-채택'의 생산 구조 속에 다수가 참여하여 질문-채택답변-기타답변으로 배열되어 있는 완성된 형태의 K-let들을 지속적으로 생산하며 비슷한 성향을 가진 K-let들이 반복적으로 생산되어 지식검색 데이터베이스에 누적된다. 지식 소비자들은 질의어 검색을 통해서 다양한 K-let들을 선택하여 비교, 검토한 후에 선택된 K-let들의 배열은 해체되어 소비자들에 의해서 재배열됨을 발견할 수 있었다. 이에 지식검색형 집단지성이란 다수의 의해서 생산되고 누적된 지식들이 소비자의 검색과 선택에 의해 해체되어 재배열되는 지식의 맞춤화 과정이라고 정의내릴 수 있었다. 반면에 위키형 집단지성에서는 '내용입력-미세수정' 구조 속에서 생명력 있는 W-let을 생성한다. W-let은 백과사전처럼 정리되어 내부링크를 통해서 서로 연결되고, 외부링크를 통해 확장되고, 지식소비자들은 검색을 통해 최초의 W-let에 도달한 후에 링크를 선택함으로써 지식을 확장시킴을 검증할 수 있었다. 따라서 위키형 집단지성이란 다수의 의해서 생산되고 정리된 지식들이 소비자의 검색과 링크에 의해 무한히 확장되는 지식의 확대 재생산되는 과정이라고 정의 내릴 수 있다. 결국, 현재의 집단지성이란 지식이 다수의 참여로 생산됨으로써 개인에게 맞춤화되고, 끊임없이 확대 재생산되는 과정을 의미한다. 그리고 이러한 집단지성의 방식은 지식이라는 현재의 차원을 넘어서 정치, 경제를 비롯한 사회의 전 영역으로 점차적으로 확대되어갈 것이다. 앞으로 연구들은 두 가지 모델이 혼재되어 있는 현재의 집단지성이 어떠한 새로운 모델을 만들면서 다른 영역으로 확장되어갈 것인지에 대해서 초점을 맞춰 나가야할 것이다.

Background : Recently a discussion about Qi including a study about the effect or the theory of acupuncture is getting prevailing in various angles. In most of studies about acupuncture stimulus, 'Filiform acupuncture'(毫鍼) is used. A study about Nine kinds of acupuncture(九鍼), except 'Filiform acupuncture'(毫鍼) has not been reported yet, and there is no study about using a special acupuncture made for controling Qi either. Objectives : 'DONG CHU CHIM' can be used for patients who are scared of a pain because it is a medical Qikong tool and non-invasive stimulus one. To assess a effect of Qikong operation using 'DONG CHU CHIM' objectively, we stimulated non-invasive to Sobu point of 30 normal adults using 'DONG CHU CHIM' and examined the result in the basis of high confirmed and repetitive HRV which is a functional assessment method of the autonomic nervous system. Method : This study has been proceeded in three periods. Total was 35min : 10min for the former and latter period of acupuncture stimulus, l5min for the acupuncture stimulus period. For each period, we measured 5min of 3 times(Stage I, II, III). Result : Comparing the changes of HRV during pre-stimulation and post-stimulation, HRT was significantly reduced, LOGTP, LOGVLF, LOGLF, LF/HF were significantly increased and SDNN, LOGHF were generally increased but did not show any significant changes. So we think that the stimulus of 'DONG CHU CHIM' affects on the sympathetic system and parasympathetic system, it activates the autonomic nervous system, and it makes the inequality of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve to be equal status. Conclusions : We can conclude that the non-invasive stimulus of 'DONG CHU CHIM' can affect significantly to the autonomic nervous system. So it can be used in clinic as a tool of Qikong operation, and it can be also used to weak patients or children because it doesn't give a lot of pain like 'Filiform acupuncture'(毫鍼) compared to invasive stimulus. By the basis of this study, more studies about the effect of 'DONG CHE CHIM' should be done in the future.

This study was to examine the neuroticism related to psychological characteristics of each Sasang types using SCL-90-R with 107 students from College of Oriental Medicine, Daeguhaani University. We did ANOVA analysis with seven neuroticism-related sub-scales and found significant differences in somatization (F=3.701, p=0.028) and hostility (F=4.396, p=0.015). The post-hoc analysis showed that the So-Yang type ($23.17{\pm}8.95$) has significantly (p=0.048, p=0.012) higher score than Tae-Eum ($19.25{\pm}5.97$) and So-Yang($19.25{\pm}5.76$) type in somatization. In hostility, the So-yang type ($11.31{\pm}3.98$) has significantly (p=0.011, p=0.015) higher score than Tae-Eum ($8.80{\pm}2.61$) and So-Eum ($9.44{\pm}3.35$) type. The ANOVA analysis with female subjects found significant differences in anxiety (F=3.88, p=0.03) and hostility (F=5.04, p=0.01). The post-hoc analysis showed that the So-Yang type ($20.36{\pm}5.44$, $12.36{\pm}3.82$) has significantly (p=0.043, p=0.015) higher score compared to the So-Eum type ($15.46{\pm}3.36$, $8.69{\pm}2.06$) in anxiety and hostility. The profile analysis using seven neuroticism-related subscalesof SCL-90-R did not revealed significant differences (Flatness with Greenhouse-Geisser (F=202.347, p=0.0001), Parallelism with Greenhouse-Geisser (F=1.428, p=0.191)). We discussed the implications of neuroticism in Sasang typology and SCL-90-R somatization, anxiety and hostility scales. This study showed opposite results compared to the previous studies that So-Eum type has higher neuroticism compared to the So-Yang and Tae-Eum type. The reason for this discrepancy between this and previous studies, and differences between male and female should be examined thoroughly with larger and balanced sample.

Sounds and music have been used in various ways in the East and the West, as it is well known that they influence the human mind and health a lot. Recently, there have been many studies regarding the remedy through sounds and music in the West and they have made good effects in the actual therapy. In the East, people knew that sounds and music would make great effects on human mind long time ago and they placed importance on sounds and music. Although there is a Sound Therapy in Oriental Medicine, it is not studied sufficiently in modern Oriental Medicine. It does not have clear standards for the clinical application and has not been frequently used. Accordingly, Yukjagyeol which has long been used in Korean Medicine and Younggamudo which was made by Kim Il-bu in late Chosun were compared from the perspective of acoustics and demonstrative treatment theory of Korean Medicine. Younggamudo by Kim il-bu allot the five sounds such as 'Eum, Ah, Eo, Ih and Uh' to 'spleen, lung, liver, heart and kidney' respectively. As the five sounds are all vowels and vibrate the vocal band as much as possible, they vibrate and resonant the respective organs to help them to function and promote circulation. In oriental medicine, there is 'Singing and Dancing Treatment'. They say songs and dances nurtures personality, supplement blood stream and comfort the mind. As the five sounds of Younggamudo take the melody while vibrating the vocal band sufficiently, when it passes from Youngto Ga(Songs) we may dance moving our bodies according to the rhythm. Therefore Gongbeop of Younggamudo helps the functionality of human organs and promotes blood circulation. As Yukjagyeol is Sabeop(discharging method), it should be used for those who have surplus Sagi and should not use for Heojeung. As Younggamudo is Bobeop(supplementing method), it is not for Shiljeung but for Heojeung which lacks of Jeonggi. It is considered that healthy people without specific disease can use it as a preventive method of 'Chimijeong' to maintain their physical and mental health. It is considered that we can have useful effects if we apply Yukjagyeol and Younggamudo dialectically with the concept of Bosa. It is considered that concrete application to Sound Gigong can be possible by searching for the methodology for empirical further study and clinical experiments and clinical application in the future.

Modeling and Simulation(M&S) technology gets an attention from various parts such as industry and military. Especially, military uses the technology to cope with a different situation from the one in the Cold War and maximize the effect of training against the cost in the new environment. In order for the training based on M&S technology to be effective, the situations of a battlefield and a combat must be more realistically simulated. For this, a technique development on Computer-Generated Forces(CGF) which represents a unit's simulation logic and a human's simulated behaviors is focused. The CGF simulating a human's behaviors can be used in representing an enemy force, experimenting behaviors in a future war, and developing a new combat idea. This paper describes a methodology to accomplish Computer-Generated Forces' autonomous intelligence. It explains the process of applying a task behavior list based on the METT+T element onto CGFs. On the other hand, in the domain knowledge of military field manual, fuzzy facts such as "fast" and "sufficient" whose real values should be decided by domain experts can be easily found. In order to efficiently implement military simulation logics involved with such subjectivity, using a fuzzy inference methodology can be effective. In this study, a fuzzy inference methodology is also applied.

We found that silymarin exhibited the inhibitory effect on melanogenesis in a spontaneously immortalized mouse melanocyte cell line, Mel-Ab. Silymarin is a standardized extract obtained from the dried seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum Gaertn.). Silymarin significantly prevented melanin production in a dose-dependent manner with an $IC_{50}$ value of 28.2 ${\mu}g/mL$ without effects on cell viability. Also, silymarin inhibited tyrosinase activity in melanocyte, while it did not affect the catalytic activity of cell-free tyrosinase. Furthermore, Western blot analysis indicated that silymarin decreased the expression of tyrosinase protein. Silybin A/B and isosilybin A/B were also able to inhibit melanin production and tyrosinase expression in protein level. Double blind study on the clinical efficacy of a cream containing 2 % silymarin showed that silymarin have a significant skin whitening effect. Therefore, this study suggests that silymarin may be useful as a natural skin whitening agent.

Background : Recently a discussion about Qi including a study about the effect or the theory of acupuncture is getting prevailing in various angles. In most of studies about acupuncture stimulus, 'Filiform acupuncture'(毫鍼) is used. A study about Nine kinds of acupuncture(九鍼), except 'Filiform acupuncture'(毫鍼) has not been reported yet, and there is no study about using a special acupuncture made for controling Qi either. Objectives : 'Dong Chu Gold Chim(DCG-chim, 東樞金鍼)' can be used for patients who are scared of a pain because it is a medical Qi-gong tool and non-invasive stimulus one. To assess a effect of Qi-gong operation using DCG-chim objectively Methods : The present study was performed to elucidate the effects of DCG-chim stimulation of an acupuncture point Baihui($GV_{20}$) on the Electroencephalogram(EEG). Twenty healthy subject were treated with DCG-chim one time accompanied by the light and vertical pressure and EEG were measured during five minutes for three times (before, during and after treatment). The EEG results of DCG-chim treatment were compared with those of 'Filiform acupuncture(毫鍼)'. Results : EEG power spectra changed significantly after both kind of acupuncture stimulation. Significant increase of $\alpha$ wave and decrease of $\beta$ wave were observed but interestingly, Mid-$\beta$ and SMR of $\beta$ wave which mean the state of concentration were increased with statistically significant. According to these results, DCG-chim stimulation of Baihui($GV_{20}$) seems to lead to relaxation with antianxietic effect and improvement of concentration at the same time. Conclusions : It would be expected that the doctor can apply DCG-chim for treating anxiety, tension, symptom caused by stress and also can use it clinically for patients who have needlphopia or children as a non-invasive procedure. It is suggested that additional studies about the effect of DCG-chim on other acupuncture points and comparison study about the effect of DCG-chim with those of the finger-pressure treatment using other tool should be done in the future.

Full-mouth rehabilitation with increasing vertical dimension can be used for patients with severely worn teeth. In severely worn teeth also, the alveolar process can be elongated to compensate for the reduced vertical dimension, and the patient's vertical dimension of occlusion can be kept constant. However, full-mouth rehabilitation with increasing vertical dimension must be carefully chosen, because the vertical dimension can be reduced by tooth wear. It is important to establish a treatment plan with the systematic diagnosis of the change in the vertical dimension and gain space for the prosthesis. It is necessary to change the vertical dimension to secure the restoration space and select the minimum vertical dimension elevation for the esthetic and functional goal. In this case report, the patient complained of difficulty during chewing due to a worn dentition and wanted esthetic improvement of the short mandibular anterior teeth. After systematic evaluation and diagnosis, we performed full-mouth rehabilitation with minimum vertical dimension elevation to obtain the space for restoration. This resulted in a stable and harmonious occlusion, and the functional and esthetic problems of the patient were solved after treatment. The patient was satisfied with the results of the treatment and maintained stable occlusion during the follow-up period.

Objectives Although impulsivity has long been thought as an important factor influencing suicidal behaviors, it is unknown whether impulsivity increases the risk of dying from suicidal behaviors and what specific component among constructs of impulsivity contributes to the risk of dying among suicide attempters. Methods To elucidate the association between impulsivity and medical lethality of suicide attempt among suicide attempters, we consecutively recruited 46 suicide attempters who visited an emergency room of a general hospital located in a metropolitan area, Seoul, Republic of Korea, due to suicide attempts and consented to participate in this study. Then we assessed medical lethality with the Beck Lethality Scale (LS) and impulsivity with the Korean version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11-Revised (BIS). Demographic variables were obtained from medical records and structured social work reports for suicide attempters. Results Although total scores of the BIS did not correlate with LS scores, only the scores of self-control, that is one of the Barrett's six theoretical constructs of impulsivity in which the higher score indicates less self-control and more impulsivity, had a significant positive correlation with scores of LS (p = 0.003). The association remained significant after adjusting for variables known to affect suicide lethality such as job status, recent alcohol consumption, diagnosis of depressive disorders, and having a plan for suicide (${\beta}=0.429$, p = 0.009). Conclusions Not impulsivity in general, but poor self-control, in particular, predicts lethal suicidal behaviors among suicide attempters. The degree of self-control should be evaluated when assessing patients with elevated suicide risk, and proper measures should be installed to prevent possible future lethal suicide attempts.

Purpose: There are various known methods for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this retrospective study is to report on the clinical results and anatomical results of UU repair surgery, which is a new repair method. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 156 patients (88 men and 68 women) who underwent UU repair for rotator cuff tears from January 2009 to May 2010 in our hospital. Their average age was 55 years old (range: 38~75 years old) and the average follow-up period was 12 months (range: 6~23 months). For determining the results, we evaluated the VAS for pain, the daily living index (ADL) in the ASES scores, the UCLA and KSS scores, and all these tests were conducted at the first hospital visit and 6 months and 1 year after surgery and at the final follow-up. During the follow-up period, MRI was performed 3 and 6 months after surgery only in the patients who consented to MRI scans to confirm the presence of re-rupture. Results: The average scores of the VAS as a pain indicator decreased from 7.0 before surgery to 2.7 after surgery (p<0.05). The UCLA and KSS scores increased from 22.2 to 32.5 and from 83.7 to 91.5, and the changes was significant (p<0.05). For the active joint range of motion, the average forward flexion was improved from 125 to 175 degrees, the average lateral external rotation was improved from 38 to 58 degrees, and the average abduction was improved from 104 to 169 degrees. Out of a total of 156 patients, re-rupture was observed in 4 cases (3%) of 117 cases (75%) for which MRI was performed (with consent) between 3 and 6 months after surgery. Conclusion: UU repair surgery as arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tear is a good repair method that shows excellent clinical results and a low re-rupture rate.
