Purpose: The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate the effects of an empowerment program. Method: We developed an 8-week empowerment program to decrease cancer symptoms and increase self-efficacy, self-esteem, and empowerment. This program includes aspects concerning self-knowledge and management, self-help groups, self-advocacy, resource network, and laughter therapy. We evaluated the effects of this program on 32 home-based cancer patients (one group pretest-posttest design). The data collection was performed from August 22, 2011 to October 13, 2011. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Result: There were significant differences in self-esteem derived from the empowerment program. However, there were no significant differences in cancer symptoms, self-efficacy, and empowerment after the program. Conclusion: More research, using a control group pretest-posttest design that considers an appropriate intervention duration, is needed to more accurately examine the effects of the program. We expect this intervention to improve the empowerment of home-based cancer patients.

Vocal polyp is one of the representative chronic diseases of vocal folds, and it can be cured by voice therapy and/or laryngeal microsurgery. However, the existing therapeutic methods about vocal polyp are in great demand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vocal improvement between laryngeal microsurgery and $SKMVTT^{(R)}$ (Seong-Tae Kim's Multiple Voice Therapy Technique), which was designed by the author. We identified 37 patients, who were diagnosed with unilateral vocal polyp, aged from 21 to 62 years(mean age: 46 years). 21 patients were treated by the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$ and the other 16 patients were only treated by the laryngeal microsurgery. All patients who were treated by the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$, received 12 sessions of treatment, and were evaluated before therapy and after finishing the 12th session. The patients who were treated by laryngeal microsurgery, were evaluated prior to and at least 8 weeks after surgery. The results showed that the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$ produced better results compared to the laryngeal microsurgery alone. The $SKMVTT^{(R)}$ produced better results, especially, at the initial stage of voice therapy compared with those of laryngeal microsurgery. In this study, we can suggest that $SKMVTT^{(R)}$ may be useful in improving the voice qualities of vocal polyp patients. However, more data should be collected and evaluated to be widely used in other clinics.

국제적으로 한국의 장편 애니메이션은 수익과 관련된 흥행 실적을 나타내지는 못하고 있다. 전 세계적으로 흥행이 된다는 것은 엔터테인먼트와 관련이 있는데, 이러한 즐거움을 주는 요소로 웃음을 빼놓을 수 없다. 이러한 유머가 한국 애니메이션의 세계화에 중요한 역할을 하게 될 것임에도 불구하고, 아직 한국과 미국 애니메이션에 나타난 유머의 분석과 그 원인을 분석하는 연구는 많이 부족하다. 몇몇 해외 시장을 노리는 한국 애니메이션은 시나리오나 스토리보드 제작의 프리 프로덕션을 미국인이 맡는 경우들이 많이 생기고 있다. 이 논문에서는 한미 장편 애니메이션에 나타난 유머의 표현법의 차이를 빈도분석, 내용분석, 인터뷰를 통해서 연구하고 여기서 가장 많은 차이를 보인 스토리와 관련된 유머를 세분화하여 살펴보았다. 또한 한국 애니메이션에서 이러한 스토리와 관련된 유머를 보강하기 위한 방안을 마련해 보고자 하였다.

Angelman syndrome(AS) is a rare genetic neurological disorder. The main clinical characteristics of this syndrome are delayed neuropsychological development, intellectual disability, speech impairment, jerky movements especially hand-lapping, frequent laughter or smiling. AS is a classic example of genetic imprinting in that it is usually caused by deletion or inactivation of genes on the maternally inherited chromosome 15. The syndrome has oral manifestations such as diastemas, tongue thrusting, sucking/swallowing disorder, mandibular prognathism, frequent drooling, and excessive chewing behavior. The purpose of this paper is to describe the interesting aspects of the dental treatment of a childe with AS.

This research aims to analyze humorous images expressed in 2D graphics fashion illustrations and to propose application of 2D graphics in humorous images for fashion illustrations to suggest a more creative and relevant fashion illustration for contemporary culture. The result of this research were as follows: First, theories on reaction of humor can be classified into Incongruity theory, Superiority theory and Arousal and Relief theory. Humor in visual arts are classified in Visual Parody, Visual Pun, Visual Paradox and Visual Satire. Second, Visual Pun, Visual Parody, and Visual Satire are used for visualizing fashion illustration, and the foundations for many humor images were simple-colored, imaginative, and unreal settings. And it was also found out that the physical proportion of the models generally was 1(head):7(entire body), 1:8, 1:15 and the models were usually laughing and smiling. Tone was usually pastel and vivid, and posture was usually standing-position or sitting-position. Third, based on such results, fashion illustration works of humor image using 2D graphics were created. To concretize the humor image, 'gift' as a concept was chosen. Humor alleviates the tension and stress. It also brings laughter and pleasure to people's lives. Therefore humor image will be an effective way of expanding creativity in modern fashion illustration.

We report a case of narcolepsy. A 25-year-old man has had excessive daytime sleepiness of about 10 years durations. He awakens daily feeling exhausted and continually falls asleep during the day while engaged in such situation like reading and watching television. He has exhibited cataplexy, a sudden loss of muscular tone, brought on by emotion, usually laughter. Polysomnogram revealed increased sleep stage 1, 2 and decreased deep sleep. Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) showed that sleep latency was 1.33 minutes and there were 3 noted sleep onset rapid eye movement (SOREM) on 5 trials. The epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) was 17/24. Typing of HLA haplotype that was positive for the $DQB1^{\ast}0602$ allele, and hypocretin-1 (orexin A) could not be detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Brain MRI showed normal image. We diagnosed his case as narcolepsy based on history of cataplexy, and three occurances of SOREM, and positive of HLA haplotype.

A teacher's talk does not make a simple delivery of information. It reflects the role of the teacher, since the language used by a teacher intervenes in a crucial way in the complex mechanisms that underlie teaching and learning of foreign languages. In this sense, the ways in which teachers give feedback have an impact on the process, not only of learning, but also of teaching. The important role of emotional factors in learning has resonated strongly in the intuition of many second and foreign language teachers. As a result, over the past three decades, research on foreign language acquisition has confirmed the hypothesis that language learning is enhanced by rapport between teacher and student. This study analyses the positive feedback given by native Spanish teachers in the context of university classes in Korea. The positive words from a language teacher are related to forming emotional factors such as motivation, attitude, interest, self-confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, and empathy, which directly influence in the acquisition of Spanish. 35 hours of oral practical classes taught by three native teachers of Colombian, Spanish and Mexican nationality were examined. According to the result, almost all the correct answers from students were corresponded with some type of positive feedback. The most frequent strategies are making a compliment, an approval, a repetition, and laughter or non-verbal cues. It is interesting to observe that teachers don't use only a single strategy to provide positive feedback, but instead combine multiple ways to enrich the positiveness of the feedback.
