  • This study was done to explore the effects of dance therapy on pulmonary and cognitive functions in the elderly. The design of this study was a non-equivalent pre-post test experiment. The subjects consisted of elderly persons living in a facility located in Kyoungi-Do. Fifty eight subjects had normal cognition, sensory function and resting blood pressure. They underwent tests of pulmonary and cognitive function as baseline data before dance therapy, and at 6th week and at the end of 12nd week after following dance therapy. Twenty seven elderly persons were assigned to the experimental group and participated with the dance therapy. This therapy was based on the Marian Chace's dance therapy and Korean traditional dance with music. The dance therapy consisted of 50 minutes session, 3 times a week for 12 weeks. One session consisted of warming-up, expression, catharsis, sharing and closing stage. the intensity of the dance therapy was at the 40% of age-adjusted maximum heart rates. Data were analyzed with mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, unpaired t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni multiple regression using SAS program. The results were as follows : 1. Pulmonary function(forced expiratory volume at one second and forced vital capacity) of the experimental subjects significantly increased over time more than that of the control subjects. 2. The experimental group had significantly higher score for pulmonary function than the control group at the 12nd week after dance therapy. 3. Cognitive function of the experimental subjects significantly increased over time more than that of the control subjects. 4. The experimental group had significantly higher score for cognitive function than the control group at the 6th week and 12nd week after dance therapy. The findings showed the dance therapy could be effective in improving the pulmonary and cognitive function of the elderly.

  • 본 논문은 정지궤도위성인 KorSat 5A($113^{\circ}E$)에서 송신하는 비콘 신호를 김포에 위치한 지상국에서 수신할 때의 C/N (carrier to noise ratio)을 예측하고 측정하였다. 지상국을 기준으로, ITU-R의 zone K 강우 감쇠와 국내 기상정보를 분석한 강우 감쇠를 비교하였다. ITU-R에서는 우리나라 강우 특성을 zone K로 일괄 분류하였으나, 2013년부터 2017년까지의 분당 누적 강우 데이터를 바탕으로 지상국 인접 3개 도시의 강우 강도 및 감쇠를 예측하였다. 강우 경로와 감쇠 대한 계산은 ITU-R 권고를 참고하였다. 2주간의 위성비콘 신호 C/N 측정을 통해 강우량에 따른 C/N의 변화를 확인하였으며, $A_{0.3}$일 때 예측된 임계 C/N은 12 dB, 실험기간 동안 집중된 강우에 따라 최대 8 dB까지 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

  • Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the variables that lead consumers to visit traditional markets and buy market goods. Thus, the current research examined the relationship between satisfaction and return intention as among the factors influencing loyalty. Research design, data, and methodology - This study was conducted to examine the effects of the perceived level of factors on loyalty and how it influenced consumers' visits to traditional markets in 125 adult adolescents and women living in Mok-po area. The results of the questionnaire were obtained. The statistical data of the questionnaire were verified by SPSS. Results - In this study, consumers' perception level of eight loyalty factors can be perceived by the traditional Korean market. The empirical analysis is summarized as follows. First, by selecting five representative variables influencing intention to return to traditional markets, Mok-po area consumers were affected by the intention to revisit according to the intensity of recognition level among these variables. Second, the higher the perceived level of product price, quality of access (accessibility) among the factors that consumers perceive as important factors in visiting traditional markets were heightened. Third, Mokpo residents are aware of the main important factors of visiting the market such as receiving a friendly atmosphere (image) about traditional market, market environment (hygiene and cleanliness), connection with the local economy, and customer service such as kindness, refund and return. These loyalty factors did not affect consumers' intention to revisit. In other words, image, environment, regional economic linkage, and these factors did not have a positive effect on revisit intention. Conclusions - The empirical analysis of this study suggests that factors that directly affect loyalty among the key factors that play a major role in visiting traditional markets should be identified and developed as loyalty factors. It is necessary to identify the key factors influencing the satisfaction and loyalty of traditional market users, and operate a system that systematically and comprehensively manages and evaluates them. In order to do this, the government, the local governments, and related organizations should regularly conduct loyalty and satisfaction surveys on visa recognition levels and establish strategies for dramatic improvement measures.

  • The radiopharmaceuticals are routinely injected to blood vessel for acquiring PET image. For this reason, It is imperative that they undergo strict quality control measures. Especially, Sterility test is more important than any other quality control procedures. According to the FDA guideline, It requires filter integrity test used in the processing of sterile solutions. Among several methods, we can decide to use bubble point test. We usually use vented GS-filters (Millipore co., USA) which are sterilizinggrade (0.22 um pore size) and are placed upper site on product vial. After the synthesis of $^{18}F$-FDG, solutions wet the membrane in filter and then go into the product vial. By all synthesis steps have finished, we can observe the presence of the bubbles in the product vial. Since we have started this study, we have never found any bubbles in the product vial. Because the maximum pressure intensity of the filter which has set by manufacturer is up to 5 bars, but helium gas pressure is up to 1 bar in our module system. So, we can make 5 bars pressure using helium gas bombe and increase pressure up to 5 bars step by step. However, it does not happen to anything in vial.

  • Occurrence of landslides has been increasing due to extreme weather events(e.g. heavy rainfall, torrential rains) by climate change. Pyeongchang, Korea had seriously been damaged by landslides caused by a typhoon, Ewiniar in 2006. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of landslides are increasing in summer due to torrential rain. Therefore, risk assessment and adaptation measure is urgently needed to build resilience. To support landslide adaptation measures, this study predicted landslides occurrence using MaxEnt model and suggested susceptibility map of landslides. Precipitation data of RCP 8.5 Climate change scenarios were used to analyze an impact of increase in rainfall in the future. In 2050 and 2090, the probability of landslides occurrence was predicted to increase. These were due to an increase in heavy rainfall and cumulative rainfall. As a result of analysis, factors that has major impact on landslide appeared to be climate factors, prediction accuracy of the model was very high(92%). In the future Pyeongchang will have serious rainfall compare to 2006 and more intense landslides area expected to increase. This study will help to establish adaptation measure against landslides due to heavy rainfall.

  • Objectives: To compare the efficacy of two types specific exercise intervention (deep and superficial abdominal muscle exercises) in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Design: A randomized, comparative, repeated-measures. Subjects: Twenty-four patients with CLBP (at least for 3 months), mean $age{\pm}SD=51.58{\pm}16.21$ (yrs). Methods: Twenty-four patients with this condition were assigned randomly to two treatment groups. Both first and second group underwent 3 weeks specific exercise treatment program. The first group specific trained for the deep abdominal muscles. The second group specific trained for the superficial abdominal muscles. Results: After intervention, the first group showed a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity and functional disability levels (p<.05). The second group showed no significant change in these parameters after intervention (p>.05). Conclusions: According to results, a "deep abdominal muscle exercises" treatment approach appears more effective than a "superficial abdominal muscle exercises" treatment in patients with CLBP.

  • Purpose: This study was done to investigate quality of sleep and heart rate variability by the physical activity in high school students. Methods: A survey that measures physical activity and quality of sleep was distributed to 118 students at Y High School. Heart rate variability was obtained using the LXC3203 heart rate monitor. The data of 105 students were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, x2-test, and ANOVA with $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test. Results: Boys and students with part-time jobs had significantly higher physical activity. The quality of sleep was significantly high when the students were non-smokers, felt healthy, happy, less stressed, and satisfied with their school lives. Mean heart rate was significantly higher among girls, and standard deviation from normal to normal R-R intervals were high in boys. Physical activity had no significant relationships with quality of sleep and heart rate variability. Conclusions: Physical activity should be encouraged for high school students, especially for girls. An experimental study with different intensity and time of physical activity is recommended to examine the relationships with quality of sleep and heart rate variability in the future.

  • The self-report measure is a useful tool for evaluating self-recognized disability and difficulty in daily living activities. Although many studies and clinics used the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS) for measuring neck pain and functional impairment, there has not been much adaptation of this for use with Korean patients. The purpose of this study was to establish the reliability and validity of NPDS among Korean neck pain patients. Fifty-five subjects (32 males, 23 females) with neck pain enrolled in this study. They completed standardized self-administered questionnaires. The NPDS measures pain intensity; its interference with vocational, emotional, recreational, social, and functional aspects of living; and the presence and extent of associated factors. Reliability was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency. Validity was examined by correlating the NPDS scores to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. The test-retest reliability of the translated versions of the NPDS was good ICC (2,1)=.86 (95%CI .76~.92). Cronbach's alpha value for NPDS was found to be .93, and this was statistically significant (p<.05). The criterion-related validity coefficient was .79 (p<.Oll. We conclude that the Korean version of NPDS has been shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of neck pain. Successful linguistic and cultural translation will admit appropriate cross-cultural comparison for clinical analysis. Therefore, this study can be expected to be used as an adequate evaluation scale for neck pain related studies and treatments.

  • 스마트폰과 많은 무선단말기들이 이동성의 특성상 AP간 이동하게 되어 무선단말들과 AP(Access Point)간 많은 호 절체가 이루어지게 된다. AP에서 각 무선단말기마다 처리되는 호 처리는 상대적으로 많은 무선트랙픽을 유발하여 무선대역의 효율적인 활용을 저해하는 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무선단말기와 AP간의 트래픽 발생요인이 되고 있는 AP간 호 절체 트래픽양을 줄이기 위해서 무선단말기에 수신되는 AP들의 전력세기임계치와 임계타이머를 사용하여 AP에서 효과적으로 무선트랙픽을 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 방식과 기존의 방식을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 AP에서 처리하는 무선트래픽 양이 개선되어 전체적으로 무선대역의 활용을 효율적으로 할 수 있었다.

  • 본 논문에서는 이동 중인 철도차량 제륜자의 두께, 편마모 및 제륜자와 차륜 사이의 거리를 자동으로 측정하는 시스템을 제안한다. 철도차량의 제륜자는 촬영 시스템이 설치된 곳을 지날 때 자동으로 촬영되며, 두께 등을 측정하기 위해 가장 먼저 영상 내에서 제륜자의 위치를 검출한다. 이는 제륜자의 위치가 영상 마다 다르기 때문이며 이를 적응적으로 찾기 위해, 제륜자와 차륜 사이에 나타나는 그림자 영역을 이용한다. 그림자 영역의 경계는 9차 다항식을 통해 모델링되며, 그 영역을 지나는 임의의 곡선 (초기 곡선)은 제약 곡선 피팅 방법을 통해 검출된다. 다음은 검출된 초기 곡선과 명암도 변화 정보를 이용하여 제륜자의 앞과 뒤, 차륜 상의 세 곡선 및 제륜자의 수직면을 지나는 직선을 검출한다. 최종적으로, 앞서 구한 곡선과 직선을 이용하여 제륜자의 두께, 편마모 및 제륜자와 차륜 사이의 거리를 측정한다. 실험에서는 제안된 방법을 실제 선로에서 촬영한 영상에 대해 적용해 보았으며, 그 결과 평균 0.654mm의 두께 측정 오차를 나타내었다.
