This song is a cheerful song of four beats and the representative rap music of Korean traditional music.

  • Laodiceanism is the blueprint from which Hardy draws one of his most ingenuous effects: the creating of a Laodicean around which the novel constructs its ambiguity. Hardy's command of "ingenuity" joins both the leading heroine Paula and the minor character Dare into the same category of a Laodicean. Alongside Paula, Dare is the most important ingredient in the novel in that he acts as an enigmatic persona defying the reader's attempts to establish a coherent type. This paper aims to offer a close reading of Dare's life story, which is chosen for discussion as he has been deemed as a simple functionary and thus apparently escaped serious critical notice thus far. It is stressed that the structure of sensations Dare embodies is fascinating in the sense that it is a locus where the coexistence of both meaning and nonmeaning would not amount to harmonious peace or stability so much as permits the impossibility of single and central significance. In this coexistence is inscribed a notion that the binaries in opposition are endlessly inter-mingled in dialogic tension, which is the hallmark of Laodiceanism that Hardy aims to present through the creation of Dare.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 한국의 백세인(100세 이상), 팔순인(80$\sim$89), 환갑인(60$\sim$69)의 3개 집단간의 수명요인의 차이를 규명하고자 시도되었다. 조사대상은 백세인의 109명을 포함하여 총 한국노인 389명이다. 수명요인은 건강행태와 심리적인 요인을 선정하여 분석하였다. 자료처리는 백세인과 2집단간의 차이를 로지스틱 회귀분석(logistic regression analysis)을 통하여 이루어졌다. 분석결과, 백세인과 팔순인의 여성들은 같은 남성에 비해 음주를 9배정도 억제하는 것으로 조사되었다. 백세인은 팔순인 보다 병원이용률의 경우 11배정도 낮은 것으로 분석되었다 (OR=11.48, CI=5.56, 23.70). 또한 하루에 2회 이상 웃는 백세인은 팔순인 보다 10배, 환갑인보다 12배 정도 많았다 (OR=11.59, CI=5.04, 26.63). 그밖에 백세인은 환갑인보다 미래에 대한 근심 걱정이 없으며, 오락에도 관심이 없는 것으로 분석되었다 (OR=12.49, CI=6.42, 24.32). 이와 같은 연구결과를 볼 때, 건강행태와 심리적인 반응이 장수요인으로 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 노인건강은 절주, 금연, 정신건강을 중심으로 보건교육을 강구해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 희은 고대 그리스시대부터 현재까지 대중의 인기를 받으며 존재해왔다. 희극을 더 효과적으로 시각화하기 위해서는 배우의 연기가 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 그렇다면 배우가 희극적 연기를 수행하는데 있어서 실제로 어떻게 형상화할 수 있는지에 대한 적극적인 논의가 필요하다. 연극 <코트>의 김서영 역을 중심으로 희극적 연기 방법에 관해 접근하고자 한다. 본 연구자가 김서영 역을 맡아 수행하였으며, 희극적 연기의 특징으로는 과장과 반복, 빠른 템포, 변화 있는 어조, 과장된 신체 행위 등을 들 수 있다. 희극적 연기는 반응의 부조화에서 비롯된다. 자극에 대해 기대하지 않은 반응은 관객의 웃음을 유발할 수 있는 요인이 되기 때문이다. 또한 희극적 연기는 과장과 반복이 중요하게 작용하는데, 여기에는 진실한 연기가 기반이 되어야 한다. 행위의 빠른 템포감과 말의 변화 있는 어조도 희극적 연기 표현에 영향을 미치며, 소극(farce) 연기의 특징이라고 할 수 있는 '슬랩스틱'과 '군무' 등의 구현은 관객의 웃음을 유발하는 데 중요한 역할을 한다. 이러한 특징적 요소들이 희극적 효과를 나타내기 위해서는 진실하게 표현하는 배우의 연기가 기반이 되어야 한다. 희극적 연기에서 중요한 것은 텍스트의 서사적 흐름과 특징을 이해하고 그것을 정확하게 표현하는 것이다. 배우는 자신의 수단을 진실하게 표현하고 텍스트에서 요구하는 것을 있는 그대로 충실하게 보여준다면 희극적 효과는 충분히 나타낼 수 있다. 이러한 연구가 다양한 연기예술에 대한 탐구와 연기교육현장 그리고 연극창작 과정에 도움이 되길 기대한다.

  • This paper examines the crisis of the protagonist's Jewish identity in Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint. Jewish values are centered on the philosophy of Judaism and Jewish history. Judaism is based on an ethical monotheism which is Bible-centered. It is characterized by its covenant with God, its humanism, and its emphasis on moral action. It provides essential reasons for man's existence and stresses human confidence and sufficiency. Jewish values can be found in words such as "good," "humanity," "dignity," "responsibility," and "sense of community." These positive Jewish values pervade Philip Roth's fiction paradoxically. Throughout especially Portnoy's Complaint, the protagonist fails to embrace Jewish values in contrast to Bellow or Malamud's heroes and repeat the same mistakes eliciting fits of laughter from readers. The protagonist suffers from his strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses perpetually warring with his extreme sexual longings against which he struggles. His desperation grows as he finds himself unable to channel his dissatisfaction and change his situations. His dominating mother and his confusion over Jewishness and Americanism are the main obstacles to his establishment of self-identity. He attempts to build up his gender identity and Jewish identity through his ego-centric sexual relationship with shikses(female gentiles). His inability to embody Jewish values leads to the failure to fulfill his identity. Roth paradoxically shows that the protagonist's realization of Jewishness is essential to the cure for his fragmented self.

  • In this study, we find features of 3 emotions (Happiness, Angry, Surprise) as the fundamental research of emotion recognition. Speech signal with emotion has several elements. That is, voice quality, pitch, formant, speech speed, etc. Until now, most researchers have used the change of pitch or Short-time average power envelope or Mel based speech power coefficients. Of course, pitch is very efficient and informative feature. Thus we used it in this study. As pitch is very sensitive to a delicate emotion, it changes easily whenever a man is at different emotional state. Therefore, we can find the pitch is changed steeply or changed with gentle slope or not changed. And, this paper extracts formant features from speech signal with emotion. Each vowels show that each formant has similar position without big difference. Based on this fact, in the pleasure case, we extract features of laughter. And, with that, we separate laughing for easy work. Also, we find those far the angry and surprise.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effects of a fall prevention program on falls, physical function, psychological function, and home environmental safety in frail elders living at home in rural communities. Methods: The design of this study was a nonequivalent control group pre posttest design. The study was conducted from July to November, 2012 with 30 participants in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Participants were registered at the public health center of E County. The prevention program on falls consisted of laughter therapy, exercise, foot care and education. The program was provided once a week for 8 weeks and each session lasted 80 minutes. Results: The risk score for falls and depression in the experimental group decreased significantly compared with scores for the control group. Compliance with prevention behavior related to falls, knowledge score on falls, safety scores of home environment, physical balance, muscle strength of lower extremities, and self-efficacy for fall prevention significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that the prevention program on falls is effective for the prevention of falls in frail elders living at home.

  • The two new female cases of Angelman syndrome (AS) were described, which diagnosed on the basis of clinical features (dysmorphic facial features, severe mental retardation with absent speech, peculiar jerky movements, ataxic gait and paroxysms of inappropriate laughter) and neurophysiological findings. Failure to detect the deletion of the long arm of chromosome 15 or the absence of epileptic seizure were not considered sufficient to exclude a diagnosis of AS. Feeding problems, developmental delay and early signs of ataxia, especially tremor on handling objects and unstable posture when seated, proved effective as the clinical markers for early diagnosis of AS. Most of the authors agreed about the existence of three main EEG patterns in AS which may appear in isolation or in various combinations in the same patient. The most frequently observed pattern in children has prolonged runs of high amplitude rhythmic 2-3 Hz activity predominantly over the frontal region with superimposed interictal epileptiform discharges. High amplitude rhythmic 4-6 Hz activity, prominent in the occipital regions, with spikes, which can be facilitated by eye closure, is often seen in children under the age of 12 years. The EEG findings are characteristic of AS when seen in the appropriate clinical context and can be helpful to identify AS patients at an early age when genetic counselling may be particularly important.

  • <완득이>는 우리사회의 소외계층이 겪어내야 하는 다양한 문제들의 제시와 가난한 완득이가족 및 외국인노동자를 돕는 이동주의 행위가 중심이 된다. 소외계층에 대한 지원, 성적중심의 학교교육에 대한 비판, 기존 사회시스템의 변화 촉구 등의 메시지를 통해 이 영화가 전복의 입장을 취하고 있는 영화라는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 본 논문은 '객관적 관찰자로서의 이동주의 제시와 그에 대한 관객의 동의가 사회의 변화에 어떤 기여를 할 수 있는가'하는 의문을 시작으로, 작품을 둘러싼 다양한 주체들의 관계가 만들어내는 상징폭력의 재생산의 양상에 관하여 분석을 시도한다. <완득이>는 메시지의 효과적인 전달과 대중성 확보를 위한 가장 큰 전략으로 '웃음의 효과'와 '낭만적인 시선'을 이용하고 있다. 이러한 요소는 이 영화가 관객의 변화를 통한 사회변화의 필요성을 촉구하는 메시지를 가지고 있더라도 피해자 스스로 폭력을 정당한 것으로 인정하게 하면서 공모에 의한 사회질서 유지와 재생산을 가능하게 하는 원인으로 작용한다.
