The aims of the current study were to assess reliability of range of motion (ROM) measurement of glenohumeral internal rotation (GIR) with a pressure biofeedback stabilization (PBS) method and to compare the reliability between manual stabilization (MS) and the PBS method. In measurement of pure glenohumeral joint motion, scapular stabilization is necessary. The MS method in GIR ROM measurement was used to restrict scapular motion by pressing the palm of the tester's hand over the subject's clavicle, coracoid process, and humeral head. The PBS method was devised to maintain consistent pressure for scapular stabilization during GIR ROM measurement by using a pressure biofeedback unit. GIR ROM was measured by 2 different stabilization methods in 32 subjects with GIR deficit using a smartphone clinometer application. Repeated measurements were performed in two test sessions by two testers to confirm inter- and intra-rater reliability. After tester A performed measurements in test session 1, tester B's measurements were conducted one hour later on the same day to assess the inter-rater reliability and then tester A performed again measurements in test session 2 for confirming the intra-rater reliability. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) (2,1) was applied to assess the inter-rater reliability and ICC (3,1) was applied to determine the intra-rater reliability of the two methods. In the PBS method, the intra-rater reliability was excellent (ICC=.91) and the inter-rater reliability was good (ICC=.84). The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the PBS method was higher than in the MS method. The PBS method could regulate manual scapular stabilization pressure in inter- and intra-rater measuring GIR ROM. Results of the current study recommend that the PBS method can provide reliable measurement data on GIR ROM.

The premise of this study is that an ultimate objective in planning an exhibition space is spectators' experiences shaped by a result of their first-hand experiences and responses within an exhibition space, and this result can be recognized in the spectators' movement. Thus, the sign system that can directly affects viewers' main line of flow and movement patterns was examined vis--vis a mutually complementary relation in a triangular composition with the structure of exhibition space and the exhibition contents. Based on the findings, predictive values before and after a complementary application of the sign system to the structure of exhibition space was analyzed and its validity was assessed. The results of this research analysis were drawn as follows. It was shown that an understanding of the locations of direction signs and the degree of recognition can function as an important factor to predict viewers' movement, along with an understanding of topological characteristics of an exhibition space. In terms of the connection and disconnection of space units that form the space structure, it suggests that the distribution of signs and the degree of recognition can adjust the degree of connection and disconnection. Even though exhibition spaces for research subjects were selected from a relatively large number of museums, but the research was limited with a focus on the structure of exhibition space and sign systems. Thus, it is proposed that future studies should be conducted by including varieties of exhibition and environmental factors.

지속적으로 증가하고 있는 항공수요에 따라, 공항운영 측면에서 이동지역 내 항공기 이동에 대한 효율성을 증대할 수 있는 방안의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문은 공항 이동지역을 운항하는 항공기에게 최단경로를 적시에 제공하여 공항운영의 효율성을 증대시키기 위한 경로 탐색 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 기존 문헌들에서 여러 알고리즘이 개발되었는데, 대표적으로 Dijkstra 알고리즘 $A^*$ 알고리즘이 있다. Dijkstra 알고리즘은 상대적으로 느린 연산속도로 인해 공항구조가 복합해질 경우 최단경로를 적시에 제공하기 어려울 수 있다는 단점이 있으며, $A^*$ 알고리즘은 최적성을 보장하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 알고리즘을 병합하여, 각 알고리즘의 단점을 보완한 새로운 Hybrid $A^*$ 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 성능분석 결과, Hybrid $A^*$ 알고리즘은 경로탐색에 있어 빠른 연산속도와 최적성이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Purpose: Human brain was lateralized to dominant or non-dominant hemisphere, and could be reorganized by the processing of the motor learning. We reported four cases which showed the changes of the cortical activation patterns resulting from two weeks of training with the serial reaction time task. Methods: Four right-handed healthy subjects were recruited, who was equally divided to two training conditions (right hand training or left hand training). They were assigned to train the serial reaction time task for two weeks, which should press the corresponding four colored buttons as fast as accurately as possible when visual stimulus was presented. Before and after two weeks of training, reaction time and function magnetic resonance image (fMRI) was acquired during the performance of the same serial reaction time task as the training. Results: The reaction time was significantly decreased in all of subjects after training. Our fMRI result showed that widespread bilateral activation at the pre scanning was shifted toward the focused activation on the contralateral hemisphere with progressive motor learning. However, the bilateral activation was still remained during the performance of the non-dominant hand. Conclusion: These findings showed that the repetitive practice of the serial reaction time task led to increase the movement speed and accuracy, as described by motor learning. Such motor learning induced to change the cortical activation pattern. And, the changed pattern of the cortical activation resulting from motor learning was different each other in accordance with the hand dominance.

Background and Objective: The Korean agricultural population is now rapidly aging. Older people in rural areas are weak due to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this case is to report treatment of injuries to the nerves at the wrist and hand level by Korean medicine. Methods: The patient in this case was a 74-year-old male. He had injured nerves at the right wrist and hand level due to agriculture work. We treated him with acupuncture, herbal medicine, etc. Results: The patient showed the first sign of recovery of his wrist after 13 days treatment. After 37 days of treatment, his wrist movement was restored to a nearly normal range. He showed the first sign of recovery in a finger after 19 days of treatment and his grasping power increased from 0% to 60%. The cold sensation in his hand and arm also disappeared. Conclusions: We cannot generalize based only on this one case study. Nevertheless, this report suggests that Korean medicine may be an effective treatment for injury of nerves at the wrist and hand level.

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on Pal-sa (EX-UE9) for unilateral motor disturbance of the hand after cerebral infarction. Methods: One patient with unilateral motor disturbance of the hand following cerebral infarction (right basal ganglion and corona radiata) was treated with acupuncture, herbal medication, and electroacupuncture on Pal-sa (EX-UE9) once daily from June 30, 2016 to July 4, 2016. We evaluated improvement using the Box and Block Test (BTT) and 10-seconds Test, including the Finger Individual Movement Test (FIMT), the Hand Pronation and Supination Test (HPST), and the Finger Tapping Test (FTT). Results: After five days of treatment, increase of FIMT and FTT scores was observed after electroacupuncture on Pal-sa (EX-UE9). However, no increase was observed in BBT or HPST scores. Conclusions: This study suggests that electroacupuncture on Pal-sa (EX-UE9) can help treat motor disturbance of the hand after cerebral infarction.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of weight-assisting methods on vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle activation, on the VMO/VL muscle activation ratio, and on muscle onset time in healthy subjects when ascending stairs. Methods: Healthy participants were randomly assigned to the belt group (n = 11), hand group (n = 11), and control group (n = 11). In the belt group, a belt was wrapped around the sacrum and pulled forward with both hands, moving the center of weight forward, while ascending stairs. The hand group grasped the hips with both hands and climbed stairs, assisting their weight from the rear and moving the center of weight backward, and the control group climbed the stairs without any intervention. Results: Muscle activation of the VMO decreased significantly after the intervention in the belt and hand groups, and activation of the VL muscle in both groups showed a greater decrease than that of the VMO muscle. Further, the VMO/VL muscle activation ratio increased significantly, with an improvement shown in the order of the belt group, hand group, and control group, while muscle onset time also improved in the order of the belt group, hand group, and control group. Conclusion: The belt group demonstrated the greatest effect across all dependent variables, confirming that in clinical practice, these two weight-assisting methods are more effective interventions during stair ascent for patients with knee joint instability, pain, and imbalance than no assistance.

언론운동은 정치권력으로부터 독립함과 동시에 언론권력을 해체하고 시민들의 언론 주권을 찾으려는 사회적 운동이다. 언론의 공공성과 독립성, 책임성을 위협하는 가장 큰 요인은 공적 영역에서는 정치권력, 사적 영역에서는 소유주로부터 나오는 언론권력이다. 시민언론운동은 언론의 주권은 시민에게 있으며 이러한 주권을 침해할 우려가 있는 정치권력과 언론 권력을 감시하는 주체로서 시민의 운동성을 강조한다. 이명박ᐨ박근혜 정권에서 시민언론운동은 저항과 투쟁의 시기였다. 시민언론운동은 정치권과의 거버넌스가 완전히 붕괴되었고 언론 전문성을 가진 지식인이 정책 생산을 중심으로 참여하는 정책적 대안의 논의와 제시 방식의 언론시민운동은 설자리를 잃었다. 시민들의 직접 행동보다는 활동가들 중심으로 활동하는 시민언론 단체들의 영향력은 한계를 보였다. 시민언론운동이 언론개혁의 동력을 강화하려면 시민사회, 언론노조, 언론단체, 정치세력 등 사회적 힘의 재구성이 필요하다. 운동의 의제와 활동에 시민들이 주도적으로 참여할 수 있는 다양한 방안도 모색해야 한다. 아울러 언론운동에서 미디어운동으로 외연을 확장할 필요가 있다.

본 논문에서는 음성인식을 위한 음성구간 검출과정에서 유입될 수 있는 동적인 음향에너지 이외에 화자의 입술움직임 영상신호까지 확인함으로써 외부 음향잡음이 음성인식 대상으로 오인식되는 것을 방지하기 위한 한 가지 방법이 제시된다. 우선, 연속적인 영상이 PC용 영상카메라를 통하여 획득되고 그 입술움직임 여부가 식별된다. 다음으로, 입술움직임 영상신호 데이터는 공유메모리에 저장되어 음성인식 프로세서와 공유한다. 한편, 음성인식의 전처리 단계인 음성구간 검출과정에서 공유메모리에 저장되어진 데이터를 확인함으로써 화자의 발성에 의한 음향에너지인지의 여부가 입증된다. 최종적으로, 음성인식기와 영상처리기를 연동시켜 실험한 결과, 영상카메라에 대면해서 발성하면 음성인식 결과의 출력에 이르기까지 연동처리가 정상적으로 진행됨을 확인하였고, 영상카메라에 대면치 않고 발성하면 연동처리시스템이 그 음성인식 결과를 출력치 못함을 확인하였다. 또한, 오프라인하의 입술움직임 초기 특정값 및 템플릿 초기영상을 온라인하에서 추출된 입술움직임 초기특정값 및 템플릿 영상으로 대체함으로써 입술움직임 영상 추적의 변별력을 향상시켰다. 입술움직임 영상 추적과정을 시각적으로 확인하고 실시간으로 관련된 패러미터를 해석하기 위해 영상처리 테스트베드를 구축하였다, 음성과 영상처리 시스템의 연동결과 다양한 조명환경 하에서도 약 99.3%의 연동율을 나타냈다.
