본 연구는 운율을 기반으로 감정을 인식하는 능력을 측정할 때 이용할 수 있는 한국형 감정 음성 데이터베이스(Korean Affective Voice Database, 이하 KAV DB)를 개발하고, 해당 DB가 의사소통장애 관련 임상과 연구에서 활용될 수 있는지를 점검하기 위하여 신뢰도, 민감도, 특이도를 산출하여 그 타당성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 배우 2명(남 1명, 여 1명)이 의미적으로 중립적인 문장 10개를 행복, 분노, 공포, 슬픔, 놀람, 중립의 6개 정서로 표현하도록 하여 음성을 녹음하였다. 녹음된 음성 중에서 목표 정서가 잘 표현된 문장을 선별하여 타당도 점검을 위한 음성파일 세트를 구성하였으며, 청자 31명(남 14명, 여 17명)이 시각적 아날로그 평정법을 이용하여 각 음성에서 6개의 정서가 얼마나 반영되었는지 평정하도록 하였다. 그 결과, KAV DB에 대한 청자의 내적 일관성 신뢰도는 .872, 전체 민감도 82.8%, 전체 특이도 83.8%였다. 이를 통하여, 타당도가 확보된 KAV DB는 감정 음성 인식 및 산출과 관련된 연구와 임상 콘텐츠 제작 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구의 목적은 정상 성인 화자의 연령세대에 따른 말 산출의 시간적 특성 간에 유의한 차이가 있는지를 분석하고, 말 산출 변수들 중에서 청년 화자와 노년 화자를 유의하게 분류할 수 있는 변수가 무엇인지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 청년, 장년, 노년의 말속도(전체 말속도, 조음속도)와 발화당 쉼 빈도, 쉼 지속시간, 쉼의 실현 위치를 살펴보았다. 국립국어원에서 배포하는 오픈 코퍼스인 서울말 낭독 발화 말뭉치에서 청년층, 장년층, 노년층 각 10명씩 총 30명 화자의 발화를 선별해 말 산출의 시간적 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 전체 말속도, 조음속도, 전체 쉼 빈도, 어절 간 쉼 빈도, 전체 쉼 지속시간, 어절 간 쉼 지속시간에 집단 간 유의한 차이가 발생했다. 사후 검정 결과, 장년층이 청년층보다, 노년층이 청년층보다 느린 말속도, 잦은 쉼 빈도, 긴 쉼 지속시간을 보였다. 반면 정상 성인에게서는 부적절한 쉼인 어절 내 쉼 빈도, 어절 내 쉼 지속시간에는 집단 간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이중 청년층과 노년층을 유의하게 구별하는 변수는 전체 말속도로 나타났다. 노년층이 한 번 쉼을 가질 때 청·장년층과 비슷한 길이지만, 훨씬 더 빈번하게 가진다는 것을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 연령세대에 따라 말 산출의 시간적 특성에 변화가 나타난다는 것을 시사한다.

Background and Objectives : Quality of life(QOL) is a construct representing physical, mental and social well-being. QOL has been used as a device for measuring the severity of health-related condition and treatment outcomes. As the social welfare system develops, the attention to QOL increases as well. The aims of this study was to examine whether the patients with voice disorder perceived significantly more the effects of voice disorder on QOL than nonpatient group did and if any, identify the sociodemographic risk factors influencing QOL of patients. Materials and Methods : This study asked 113 adults with voice disorders who were enrolled in Voice Clinic in the Department of Otolaryngology, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital between lune 1998 and January 1999 and 111 nonpatients to complete a questionnaire designed to elicit information about the effete of voice disorders on quality of lift. The questionnaire included items concerning sociodemographic areas, voice symptoms, job, effects of voice disorders on QOL domains(work, social, psychological, physical, and communication areas), potential risk factors to exposures, familial and medical history of voice disorders. Results : The sociodemographic characteristics of the patient group are as follows : (1) 75.2% of total patient group were female and the rest were male. (2) Age of total patient group ranged from 20 to 65 years. Hoarseness was the most commonly reported complaints, followed by complaints of high note difficulties during singing and voice fatigue. The patient group perceived effects of voice disorders on the areas of work, social, psychological, physical and communication more adversely than the comparison group did (p＜0.05). QOL impairments were evaluated as a function of age, gender, education, and income, controlling other independent effects. The results were that (1) age was significantly associated with work problems and (2) gender and income were significantly associated with psychological problems. Conclusions : The findings indicated that the patients with voice disorders would perceive markedly adverse effect on all QOL domains, that is, work, social, psychological, physical, communicational areas. Therefore, the results of study suggest that lurker investigations about the nature of voice disorders, the prevention, treatment, and coping strategies are needed in the future.

본 연구는 산업체 근로자의 작업관련성 근골격계질환 자각증상과 사회심리적 요인과의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. K산업체 재활센터를 이용하는 남성근로자 중 구조화된 설문지를 자발적으로 조사에 응한 120명 중 응답이 불충분한 근로자와 과거 근골격계 증상 부위에 사고를 경험이 있는 근로자 18명을 제외한 102명을 최종 분석대상자로 선정하였다. 연구결과 작업관련성 근골격계 자각증상 유무는 흡연, 육체적 부담정도, 자기효능감에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다는 결론으로부터 작업관련성 근골격계질환을 예방 관리하기 위해서는 그 발생원인의 다특성적인 측면을 이해하여야 하며, 심리적인 요인, 특히 자기효능감을 충분히 고려해야 할 것으로 판단되며, 추후 근골격계질환에 관여하는 사회심리적 요인이 다양한 수준에서 상호관련성을 가지고 영향을 주기 때문에 질환과 요인 간의 원인관계를 파악하기 위한 장기적인 추적 연구와 사회심리적 요인에 대한 적극적인 중재를 시행하고 그 효과를 평가한 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The lexical factors chosen in this paper was frequency, density and lexical familiarity of words. Result of the analysis was as follows; frequency was the significant factor to predict spoken word recognition score of monosyllabic word. The other factors were not significant. This result suggest that word frequency should be considered in speech perception test.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on eating disorders in college students. Method: A descriptive correlational study design was used. Eight hundred fifty-nine college students were administered self-report questionnaires to examine eating habits, self-efficacy, depression, and parent-adolescent communication from May to June, 2010. Collected data were analyzed by the SPSS 15.0 program for t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The level of an eating disorder in participants was moderate and it differed by gender, major, and type of living. The eating disorder showed a significant correlation with self-efficacy (r=-.28, p=<.000), depression (r=.23, p=.001), and parents-adolescent communication (r=-.13, p=.008). Self-efficacy (8.2%) and depression (2.1%) were significant predictors to explain the eating disorder. Conclusion: This study provides comprehensive understanding of the influencing factors on eating disorders in college students. It suggests that nursing interventions to improve self-efficacy and decrease depression for management of eating disorder are needed.

This study is generally purposed to develop a mobile augmentative and alternative communication system (hereinafter referred to as 'a mobile AAC system'). Also the device is aimed as a mobile AAC system for helping communication of persons who suffer from speech disorders in a free and convenient manner. One thing firstly considered for a successful AAC system is selection of vocabularies. For this purpose, the above researchers collected utterances in actual situations to select vocabularies of higher frequencies. For generation of sentences by maximizing the use of limited space in the AAC system, this study specifically presents a method of predicting predictions. This method includes selecting vocabulary and classifying it by domains so as to meet the characteristics of the mobile AAC communication, using a noun thesaurus for semantic analysis, and building a sub-category dictionary. Predicting predicates by selecting symbols in accordance with this method is tested and the utility thereof is confirmed.

Background and Objectives: Considering important role of vitamin D in many physiological processes including vestibular system in the ear, aim of present study is to evaluate saccule function via cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP), in patients with vitamin D deficiency. Subjects and Methods: After routine audiological tests, cVEMP were recorded in 15 patients with vitamin D deficiency and 16 normal subjects. The short tone burst (95 dB nHL, 500 Hz) was presented to ears. cVEMP was recorded with surface electromyography over the contracted ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle. Results: Mean of p13, n13, interpeak latencies and amplitude ratios were measured in both groups. Statistical analysis did not show differences between two groups. Conclusions: Maybe serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was not low enough to have effect on saccule in the patients in present study or saccule have had low susceptibility to effects of vitamin D deficiency. For better judgment about effect of vitamin D deficiency on saccular function planning studies with high sample size is recommended.
