Problem solving and/or decision making process usually encountered in human living consists of a sequence of human behaviors based upon his/her knowledge. Thus, Rasmussen introduced Skill-Rule-Knowledge paradigm to countermeasure human errors that can occur in Nuclear Power Plants. Unfortunately however, it was not so easy as expected since objective evidence have not been obtainable with conventional research techniques. With the help of EEG band pawer ratio techniques, this study tried to get psycho-physiological symptoms of human errors, if any, while human beings perform knowledge-based behaviors such as simple arithmetic computations with different difficulty level. A set of simulated works was carried out with a computer station. Four kinds of arithmetic computation tasks were given to 10 health male under-graduate students on different day individually, and during the experiment, EEG and ECG was measured continuously for objective psycho-physiological analysis. According to the results, ${\alpha}$/(${\alpha}+{\beta}$) as well as ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ band power ratio were sensitive to task difficulty level which consistently decreased both. However, any one of them failed to reveal the influence of tasks with different difficulty level in the aspect of task duration time. On the contrary, Heart Rate Variability was more suggestive than expected. To make a conclusion, it can be said that band power of EEG waves will be helpful in not only assessment of work difficulty level but also assessment of workers' skill development if supported by cardiac function such as HRV.

본 논문은 지문 인식 알고리즘의 신빙성 있는 성능 평가를 위해 실험에 사용되는 지문 영상 데이터베이스의 특성을 정량화하는 방법과 지문 영상 데이터베이스들의 난이도를 측정하는 방법을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 지문 영상 정합 시에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 정의하였으며, 두 지문 영상의 정합을 minutiae 기반이 아닌 orientation field을 사용하여 요소들을 평가한다. Orientation filed는 기존의 orientation 방법을 이용하되 계층적으로 측정함으로써 정합시의 속도와 정확성을 개선하였다. 실험 결과, 두 영상을 정합하여 얻어진 각각의 요소들의 측정수치는 데이터베이스들의 특성을 보여준다. 데이터베이스 난이도의 측정은 지문 인식 알고리즘들의 성능을 객관적이고 정량적으로 비교할 수 있게 해준다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to airway failure during endotracheal intubation among patients with and without predicted airway difficulty. Methods: Medical records were examined retrospectively. 329 patients who were admitted to the general ward and underwent endotracheal intubation were included. The incidence of airway failure in the two groups was investigated. Results: The group predicted to have airway difficulty consisted of 79 patients (24.0%) and the group without airway difficulty, 250 (76.0%). The number of cases of airway failure was 50 (15.2%). The factors that were associated with airway failure in the group with predicted airway difficulty were the jaw relaxation score, Cormack-Lehane score, and the device of the first endotracheal intubation attempt. The factors that were associated with the airway failure in the group predicted not to have airway difficulty were the induction agent, jaw relaxation score, Cormack-Lehane score, level of training of the personnel with the first endotracheal intubation success, and the device of the first endotracheal intubation attempt. Conclusion: The prediction of airway difficulty during endotracheal intubation was not effective; however, it was meaningful from the perspective of patient safety.

Objectives: Based on the 7th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1,135 adults aged 19 years were selected as the final study subjects to investigate the relationship between oral health and chewing difficulty in adults. Methods: Frequency analysis, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were performed for general characteristics, oral health behaviors, awareness symptoms, and oral health using SPSS Program 21.0. Results: Regarding factors related to chewing difficulty, the oral health was 0.44 times lower than the average level and 0.28 times lower than the good condition. In the case of oral examination, chewing difficulty was 0.85 times lower. The speaking problem was 0.11 times lower in usually than inconvenient and 0.06 times lower in not inconvenient. In the case of un-treatment, it was 0.40 times lower than that in the case of treatment. The chewing difficulty was significantly higher by 2.09 times in the case of experience of tooth pain and 1.36 times in the case of periodontal disease. Conclusions: Based on the above results, it is thought that prevention and treatment are actively needed to identify factors of oral health to improve oral health, to solve chewing difficulty and to improve chewing function.

대부분의 온라인 교육 시스템들은 기존의 설정된 문항난이도를 기반으로 학습자에게 학습정보를 제공하고 있으며, 동일한 수준의 학습자는 모두 동일한 학습과정에 따라 학습을 수행하고 있다. 하지만 동일한 수준의 학습자라 할지라도 학습 내용을 이해하는 정도는 서로 다를 수 있다. 따라서 제공된 콘텐츠를 이해하기 어려움에도 불구하고 정해진 난이도와 학습과정에 따라 획일적으로 학습이 진행되는 방법은 효율적인 학습효과를 나타내기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 온라인 학습이 제공하는 획일적 학습에서 벗어나 학습자가 학습 도중 학습 콘텐츠의 난이도를 변경할 수 있도록 함으로써, 자기주도적 학습을 지원하기 위한 콘텐츠 재구성 방법을 제시하였다. 학습자는 학습 도중 제시된 콘텐츠가 이해하기 어렵거나 쉽다고 판단되는 경우, 현재 제시된 학습 콘텐츠의 수준을 변경할 수 있다. 이때 변경된 학습 콘텐츠의 수준은 콘텐츠 재구성 모듈로 전달된다. 변경된 수준을 전달받은 콘텐츠 재구성 모듈은 전달된 학습자의 수준에 적합한 콘텐츠 및 퀴즈 문항을 추출하고, 추출한 콘텐츠와 퀴즈를 기초로 학습내용을 재구성하여 학습자에게 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 이용하면 학습자는 자신의 수준에 적합한 콘텐츠를 제공받을 수 있기 때문에 학습 이해도를 높일 수 있고, 학습자의 적극적인 학습 참여를 유도함으로써 보다 높은 학습효과와 학습 만족도를 얻을 것으로 기대된다.

In the management literature, it has been widely accepted among both researchers and practitioners that the level of team creativity is significantly related to the organizational performance. Besides, researchers posited with confidence that team diversity and task difficulty would affect team creativity through team members' activities of exploration and exploitation. However, empirical approaches to proving this belief suffered from lack of real data and proper methods as well. To tackle the research void like this, we propose a multi-agent simulation (MAS) mechanism. By adopting a set of parameters which validity were proven in the related literature, we conducted a series of experiments in the environment of the MAS platform named NetLogo. There sults suggest that managers can differentiate team diversity strategies according to task difficulty. In the case of a difficult task, managers need to increase team diversity so that their teams can maximize team creativity through rigorous exploration and exploitation. It is desirable to maintain an average level of team diversity when performing an easy task.

The purpose of this study was to investigate young children's nonsymbolic arithmetic ability according to task difficulty. The participants in this study comprised 43 2-year-old children and 48 4-year-old children recruited from 5 childcare centers located in Seoul, Korea. All tasks were composed of comparison, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tasks. In addition, each arithmetic task varied with the ratio of the two quantities; low level(1:2), middle level(2:3), high level(4:5). The results revealed that 2 & 4-year-old children could perform a large numerical range of nonsymbolic arithmetic tasks without influences from previously learned mathematics. This finding suggests that children have a degree of numerical capacity prior to symbolic mathematics instruction. Furthermore, children's performance on nonsymbolic arithmetic tasks indicated the ratio signature of large approximate numerical representation. This result implies that large approximate numerical representation can be used in arithmetical manipulations.

LMS 기반의 온라인 평가를 위해 출제되는 문제들은 교수자가 직접 출제하거나 또는 카테고리별로 나뉘어진 문제은행에서 난이도에 따른 자동 출제 방식을 주로 이용한다. 이중에서 난이도에 따른 자동출제 방식은 평가자들에게 출제되는 문제가 서로 다를수 있기 때문에 무엇보다 객관적이고 효율적인 방법으로 문제의 난이도를 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 문제의 정답률뿐만 아니라 해당 문제를 해결하는데 사용된 소요시간을 같이 고려한 난이도 재조정 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이를 위해 머신러닝의 로지스틱 회귀 분류 알고리즘을 이용하였으며, 학습모델의 예측 확률값을 기반으로 기준 임계값을 설정하여 각 문항별 난이도 재조정에 활용하였다. 그 결과 정답률에만 의존한 문항별 난이도에 많은 변화가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 조정된 난이도의 문제를 이용하여 그룹별 평가를 수행한 결과, 정답률 기반의 난이도 문제에 비해서 대부분의 그룹에서 평균 점수가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
