This study investigates the physiological and psychological effects of a nature-based outdoor activity program in an environment reflecting the characteristics of forest and coastal areas on 30 firefighters (average age: 40.4 ± 9.8 years) who are frequently exposed to dangerous situations. Blood pressure, pulse pressure, and heart rate variability were used as physiological measurement indicators, and the Korean versions of PANAS (positive affect and negative affect schedule), WEMWBS (Warwick-Edinburgh mental well-being scale), and PRS (perceived restorativeness scale) were used as psychological measurement indicators. For four days and three nights, the participants experienced programs at Hallyeohaesang Nature Center and the surrounding mountains, seas, and islands, utilizing forest resources such as trekking on forest trails, walking barefoot, taking aromatic footbaths, meditating in forest oxygen domes, and lying on relaxation chairs, and programs utilizing marine resources such as taking a boat to an island, walking on forest trails with seascape views, and sailing on a yacht. Participants' systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure decreased, and participants' positive emotions increased and negative emotions decreased after the program. There was a statistically significant increase in mental well-being and perceived restorative environment. Through this study, it was found that nature-based outdoor activity programs based on forest and marine resources are effective in physiological and psychological stability of firefighters. It is hoped that the results of this study will be applied to other high-risk workers for PTSD, who have high stress levels, by combining forest healing and marine healing, and expanding the scope and diversity of programs in more diverse environments and conditions.

본 연구에서는 단순 세정의 개념이 아닌 복합감각 증진 개념의 헬스케어 목욕 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 헬스케어 감성욕조를 디자인하기 위해 우선 타입별 특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 기반으로 복합감각 자극용 전신 욕조를 개발하였고, 이 전신욕조는 감성자극용 전신욕조 월풀, 시청각 감각 자극 기능이 구비된 욕조 커버, 제어용 소형 PC, 터치패널, DMB 패널, 시각 감성 증진을 위한 칼라 가변형 LED 무드 시스템과 스피커로 구성되어 있다. 제작된 복합감각 증진 개념의 헬스케어 욕조시스템의 특성을 고찰하기 위해서 목욕을 하는 동안 인체 자율신경계에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 목욕 상태에서의 심박변이율은 실험 중 교감신경에 비해 부교감신경이 계속 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 목욕을 시작한지 15분이 경과하면 교감신경이 증가하고 부교감신경이 감소하여, 피험자가 목욕을 한지 15분일 때 가장 편안한 상태를 느끼는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 목욕 실험 결과 전후의 혈압이 최고 16mmHg까지 떨어진 것으로 나타났으나 맥박은 증가하였다. 이것은 심장으로부터 혈액의 유출량이 많아져 혈류량이 증가하는 것으로 복합감각 증진용 헬스케어 욕조 시스템을 이용한 목욕이 혈액 순환에 긍정적인 영향을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 가지고 복합감각 기능증진 헬스케어 목욕시스템의 사용성과 사용자의 생리분석을 통한 기초결과를 통해서 사용자의 생리변화를 분석함으로써 제품의 사용성과 사용자의 생리적 변화 및 감성 간의 관계를 보다 더 명확하게 밝혀낼 수 있으리라 기대한다.

여러 연구자들이 정서특정적 자율신경계 활동을 밝히기 위하여 행복, 슬픔, 분노, 공포 및 혐오를 포함한 기본 정서들을 사용하여왔지만, Ekman 등(1983)의 기본정서들 중 놀람 정서에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 ECG와 PPG를 이용하여 놀람 자극에 대한 심혈관 반응을 밝히는 것이다. 76명의 대학생에게 놀람자극을 제시하기 전과 후에 ECG와 PPG를 기록하였으며, ECG와 PPG 신호로부터 심박률(HR), R-R 간격의 표준편차(SD-RR), 연속된 R-R 간격 차이의 제곱평균제곱근(RMSSD-RR), 호흡성 부정맥(RSA), 손가락 혈류량 파형의 진폭(FBVPA), 손가락 맥파 전달시간(FPTT)을 산출하였다. HR과 SD-RR, RMSSD-RR은 놀람자극 제시 전에 비하여 놀람자극이 제시된 후에 유의하게 증가하였으며, FBVPA는 유의하게 감소하였고, FPTT는 유의하게 짧아졌다. 놀람 자극은 말초혈관을 수축시키고, 심박률을 증가시키는 교감신경계 반응특성을 가지는 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 심박률 변산성을 증가시키는 부교감신경계도 동시에 활성화될 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 정서이론의 발전과, 인간정서를 탐지하는 컴퓨터 시스템의 기초를 확립하는데 기여하는 바가 있을 것이다.

This study was performed to extract and analyze the biosignals to find the relationship between the level of anesthesia and the variations of physiological parameters during epidural anesthesia. Seven male and twenty female patients(ages from 45 to 70 years old) were participated for the experiment, and ECGs, PPGs, SKTs, SCRs were obtained during anesthesia. As results, the HF/LF ratios of HRV were decreased after the injection anesthetics. For skin temperatures, values measured from the palm was reduced and the temperatures from four channels, measured from armpit through the right side of the body, were increased. SCRs were decreased for all channels after the injection of anesthetics. However the heart rate and PPGs showed no significant changes. It was concluded that the injection of anesthetics result the changes in biosignals, and it could be explained by the degree of the sympathetic and/or parasympathetic nerve activities. Results of this study could provide the valuable information for the estimation of level for the spinal and general anesthesia, and could be extended to the development of a system which could quantify the level of anesthesia.

맥파는 심전도와 같이 자율신경계를 통해 생리적 반응을 측정하는 신호이지만, 손가락에 센서 하나만 부착시키면 되기 때문에 상대적으로 신호의 측정이 간편하다는 장점을 가지고 있어 u-Healthcare 분야에서의 활용이 용이하다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 스마트폰 카메라의 CMOS 영상 센서를 활용하여 맥파를 비침습적으로 측정하는 방법 중의 하나인 광용적맥파를 획득하고 이로부터 스트레스 여부를 판단하는 휴대형 시스템을 개발하여 u-Healthcare 분야에서의 활용 가능성을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 광용적맥파를 별도의 센서에 의한 측정이 아닌 스마트폰 카메라에서 획득되는 영상 데이터를 활용하여 광용적맥파를 획득한 후 분석하였다. 또한 확보된 광용적맥파 영상신호 데이터를 이용하여 심박변이도와 스트레스 지수를 별도의 호스트 장비 없이 스마트폰만을 이용해 사용자에게 제공 하였다. 또한 부가적으로 스마트폰에 부착가능한 별도의 하드웨어 디바이스를 개발함으로써 획득된 데이터의 신뢰도 및 정확성을 향상시켰다. 실험결과를 통해 스마트폰의 카메라 영상을 활용하여 광용적맥파 신호를 통한 심박수 측정과 스트레스의 정도를 분석하기 위한 스트레스 지수 추출이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 상용화된 제품 또는 정형화된 센서가 아닌 스마트폰의 카메라를 이용하기 때문에 상용화된 외부 센서에 의한 광용적맥파 신호보다는 해상도가 떨어지는 단점이 있음에도 불구하고 결과 데이터의 신뢰도 향상을 위한 별도의 추가외부 장치 개발 및 여러 가지 최적화 알고리즘을 통해 신뢰성 있는 데이터를 확보할 수 있어 u-Healthcare 장비로써의 활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The objectives of this study were to investigate physiological and psychological responses to the rustling sound of Korean traditional silk fabrics and to figure out objective measurements such as sound parameters and mechanical properties determining the human responses. Five different traditional silk fabrics were selected by cluster analysis and their sound characteristics were observed in terms of FFT spectra and some calculated sound parameters including level pressure of total sound (LPT), Zwicker's psychoacoustic parameters - loudness(Z), sharpness(Z), roughness(Z), and fluctuation strength(Z), and sound color factors such as ${\Delta}L\;and\;{\Delta}f$. As physiological signals, the ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) from the power spectrum of heart rate variability, pulse volume (PV), heart rate (HR), and skin conductance level (SCL) evoked by the fabric sounds were measured from thirty participants. Also, seven aspects of psychological state including softness, loudness, sharpness, roughness, clearness, highness, and pleasantness were evaluated when each sound was presented. The traditional silk fabric sounds were likely to be felt as soft and pleasant rather than clear and high, which seemed to evoke less change of both LF/HF and SCL indicating a negative sensation than other fabrics previously reported. As fluctuation strength(Z) were higher and bending rigidity (B) values lower, the fabrics tended to be perceived as sounding softer, which resulted in increase of PV changes. The higher LPT was concerned with higher rating for subjective loudness so that HR was more increased. Also, compression linearity (LC) affected subjective pleasantness positively, which caused less changes of HR. Therefore, we concluded that such objective measurements as LPT, fluctuation strength(Z), bending rigidity (B), and compression linearity (LC) were significant factors affecting physiological and psychological responses to the sounds of Korean traditional silk fabrics.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze the trend of clinical research on quantitative indicators of Mibyeong in traditional chinese medicine(TCM). Method : The journal search was performed using china national knowledge infrastructure(CNKI) database. Our inclusion criteria were as following: TCM clinical researches for quantitative indicators of Mibyeong. Exclusion criteria were as following: non-TCM clinical researches, used intervention methods. Results : Eleven clinical researches were analyzed in this study. Four of these researches classify the Mibyeong as a type of pattern identification(PI) and studied the characteristics of the PI quantitative indicators. Mibyeong diagnosis was done through guidelines and questionnaires, each was used at a similar rate. Quantitative indicators mentioned in the selected researches were blood indices, nailfold capillary, complexion, color of tongue substance and coating, pulse wave diagrams and heart rate variability. Among them, seven researches related to blood indices were the most. Blood indicators include whole-blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, packed cell volume(Hct), triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, glucose, BUN/CREA, luteinzing hormone, estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone, IgA, IgG, etc. Conclusions : Based on this results, in combination with western medicine, it seems necessary to try to interpret the Mibyeong in more various ways. Even if the same Mibyeong, it is necessary to identify the index which changes according to the PI or chief complaint, and to set the Mibyeong standard corresponding thereto.
