  • The numbers of older patients increase year by year as the effect of care in illness prolongs the average life span, and it will be quite common to find octogenarians and nonogenarians. The philosophy and technics used in the rehabilitation of older patients are essentially the same as those in general rehabilitation, modified to comply with the physiology of the aging patient. Rehabilitation of the elderly is essentially a matter of teamwork and an attitude of mind. Mo one of us can accomplish a cure by ourselves and there must be confidence and continuing consultation between all members of the team.

  • We discuss the thinking ways of the Eastern world and the Western world. In the West, due to the influence of the geometry, deductive logic was incorporated into language, allowing for the development of logic. In contrast, the East relies on intuition, conjecture, and insight as method of thinking. However, these methods of thinking in the East and the West each exhibit their own characteristics. The East saw the flourishing of humanities culture, including philosophy and religion, while the West saw the flourishing of mathematical, scientific, and technological civilizations based on logic.

  • Given increasing concerns regarding environmental issues, environmentally responsible behavior during the construction of cross-sea bridge projects becomes critical. However, a systematic investigation of the topic remains absent. To bridge the knowledge gap, this study first defines environmentally responsible behavior from four perspectives: purposes, means, contents and influencing factors. Then, the study uses a grounded theory approach to code and analyze 101 documentations retrieved from 30 cross-sea bridge projects carried out by Chinese construction companies worldwide. Results show that environmentally responsible behaviors in cross-sea bridge projects are highly influenced by four factors, namely government policies, public opinions, goals of the projects, and construction companies'philosophy of environmental protection. Results also indicate that Chinese construction companies have used managerial, technical, and ecological means to ensure that the goals of environmentally responsible behaviors, namely minimization of damage to marine ecology; prevention of air, noise and visual pollution; and reduction of resource consumptions, are achieved. Lastly, suggestions for promoting and governing environmentally responsible behavior are proposed.

  • This paper delves into philosophical aspects of institutional household(IH) study. The paper argues that it is also necessary to investigate theoretical, methodological, and philosophical issues, not only prescriptive, practical, and managerial ones, in order to establish a field of study as an independent area of academic discipline. In that sense the paper is expected to contribute to the establishment of "the science of IH" as well as the growth of knowledge in that field. For philosophical discussions, the paper first reviews overall sub-fields of philosophy of science such as ontology, epistemology, methodology, and the debate on human nature. Then, it focuses on philosophical issues relating to the nature of IH including (1) the substance of institutional household as scientific investigation, (2) the epistemological basis of IH study, (3) the possibility of normal methodology in studying IH, (4) the values that IH ought to pursue, and (5) the rationale and autonomy of IH study. In the conclusion section, the paper discusses why the study on philosophical aspects in IH is critical in academic community of family resource management.anagement.

  • The objective of the study is to analyze expressions of modern fashion in relation to design principle of a science theory, fractal geometry, in order to identify various and multi-layered expressions of fashion. As for methodology, the study interprets principle and characteristics of fractal geometry based on literature review in areas of linguistic, philosophy, sociology and science. The research identifies expressive characteristics of fractal through empirical studies, and applies them to fashion in order to analyze how fractal design principles are reflected in modern fashion in terms of form and significance. Fractal aesthetics pursue order, balance, diversity and openness among disorder and insecurity. They are closely related to the function of modern fashion that works as a multi-layered code, instead of being confined to conventional idea about fashion that "functions" as "wear."

  • This study intends to explore a teaching philosophy of a Master, a joiner, a cabinet maker, Byeung-Soo Kim who has devoted his entire life on creating and making traditional Korean wood furniture since the elementary school. His teaching method is to make his learners skillful by learning how to make traditional Korean furniture with the traditional technique or joint handmade. They are able to create the furniture in passing through some levels such as a beginning, a middle, a high, and a special class for three years. Each level suggests that the students should study its own joints from laminating, dado, butt, dovetail, mitered, mortise-and-tenon, rabbet, tongue-and-groove and so on. The teaching method is very unique as the technique different and difficult to fine it from other education processes throughout the country.

  • Scientific observation has been recognized as one of the fundamental aspects in scientific inquiry. However, more detailed discussions and practical guides for teachers' and students' understanding about the nature of scientific observation have not been conducted. Therefore, based on literature reviews, we described the nature of theory-laden scientific observation as 11 detailed statements. Using theses statements, we investigated science teachers' and students' recognition of each statement. According to results, certain aspects of theory-laden scientific observation were determined as important aspects to be considered for science teachers' in-service programs or for students' learning activities in understanding the nature of science.

  • Intelligence is thought to be related to interaction rather than a deep but passive thinking. Interactive tangible media "iT_Media" is proposed to explore these issues. Personal robotics is a major area to investigate these ideas. A new design methodology for personal and emotional robotics is proposed. Sciences of the artificial and intelligence have been investigated. A short history of artificial intelligence is presented in terms of logic, heuristic, and mobility; a science of intelligence is presented in terms of imitation and understanding; intelligence issues for robotics and intelligence measures are described. A design methodology for personal robots based on science of emotion is investigated. We investigate three different aspects of design: visceral, behavioral, reflective. We also discuss affect and emotion in robots, robots that sense emotion, robots that induce emotion in people, and implications and ethical issues of emotional robots. Personal robotics for the elderly seems to be a major area in which to explore these ideas.

  • The majority of previous studios on tolerance synthesis have viewed the issue as a design methodology to determine optimal component tolerances on behalf of a manufacturer. while meeting given assembly tolerance requirements Although a considerable amount of research has been done on this issue. a couple of important questions still remain unanswered First. how ran a design engineer quantitatively incorporate a customer's perception on a product quality into a tolerance synthesis scheme at the early design stage Second. how ran component tolerances and assembly tolerance be optimized in a simultaneous way? To answer these questions. this article presents the customer-driven concurrent tolerance synthesis which is facilitated by the notion of truncated distribution and the use of mathematical programming techniques. while adopting the major principles of Tagurhl philosophy. The work presented in the article is an effort to gain insight, which can be useful in practice when setting up guidelines for an overall tolerance synthesis.
