The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of violin learning as to enhance the attention span and impulsiveness of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD). Three children with ADHD, grade 2, 3, 4 were selected to participate in the research. A total of 15 session were given during 8 week time span, including a final performance session. For measurement, Korean-Child Behavior Checklist(K-CBCL), Home Situation Questionnaire-Revised (HSQ-R), Conners Teacher Rating Scale-Revised (CTRS-R) were administered before and after the implementation. Other behavioral checklist were used to record inappropriate or interruptive behaviors. The results showed that violin learning has increased attention span and reduced impulsive behaviors of all three children with ADHD. Along with these changes, the identified inappropriate behaviors reduced as sessions progressed. Also the changes observed within the music environment were generalized to non-music environment, such as family and school. These results also indicate that violin can be a therapeutic medium used in music therapy setting to bring positive changes for children with ADHD problems.

This study was to examine usefulness of MoCA-K by comparing the correlation between LOTCA-G, MMSE-K and MoCA-K, regarding detecting elderly people's mild cognitive function in local community. The experiments in which the three different evaluation methods were employed, of this study were conducted on 50 elderly people. While the score of MoCA-K and MMSE-K was $22.72{\pm}5.85$ out of 30 and $25.08{\pm}3.78$ out of 30 respectively, the result of LOTCA-G was $96.28{\pm}6.82$ out of 104. Observing each result of the three cognitive function assessment tools towards general characteristics showed no significant differences in gender. However, they were at considerable variance with age and education level of the example group. As all the three results of the assessment methods showed high correlation, it is reasonable to believe that MoCA-K is an appropriate evaluation tool to assess the cognitive function of old people.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mothers' parental intelligence on children's peer play interaction and peer acceptance. The participants were 197 fiveyear- old children and their mothers of six kindergartens and child care centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. The Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale(Choi & Shin, 2008), the Peer Rating Scale(Asher et al., 1979), and the Parental Intelligence Scale(Hyon, 2004) were used as measurements. The results of this study were as follows. Firstly, the higher scores in mothers' parental intelligence of encouragement, enhancement, rational authoritativeness, acceptance, control, and avoiding rejection roles, the more the children's positive behaviors were exhibited during the peer play. Secondly, children whose mothers provided higher levels in parental intelligence of empathy, encouragement, rational authoritativeness and enhancement roles were rated as displaying higher levels of children's peer acceptance. On the other hand, children whose mothers expressed higher parental intelligence level of the rejection role tended to have lower levels of peer acceptance.

본 논문은 작업 현장에서 청각장애인의 의사소통을 보조하는 한국 수화 메시지 보드의 개발에 대하여 다룬다. 청각 장애인은 일상적인 직업 현장에서 의사소통이 자유롭지 못하여 업무에 잘 적응하지 못하고 사내의 인간관계에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 문자를 이용한 정보 전달을 통해 모든 의사소통을 대체할 수 있을 것이라는 일반적인 생각과는 달리, 청각장애인의 경우 비장애인과 비교하여 사물의 개념 습득에 어려움이 있을 수 있으며 마찬가지로 사용하는 어휘수도 제한적인 경우가 많아 문자를 통한 의사소통에는 명확한 한계가 존재한다. 실제로 청각 장애 근로자가 이직하는 사유로 의사소통이나 인간관계가 높은 비중을 차지한다. 수화 메시지 보드는 크게 사내 네트워크를 이용한 공지 사항 전달을 위한 용도와 복수 개의 메시지 보드 간 문자 송수신의 용도로 사용 가능하다. 비장애인이 청각장애인에게 문자 입력으로 의사를 전달하면, 전달된 문자는 문자-수화 번역기를 통해 자동으로 수화로 번역되어 아바타의 수화 동작으로 화면에 출력된다. 전체 시스템은 수화 아바타를 포함한 그래픽 유저 인터페이스 (GUI), 수화 데이터베이스 및 한글 형태소/문장 분석기를 포함하는 문자-수화 번역기, 그리고 TCP/IP 기반의 문자 전송기의 세 부분으로 나뉜다. 본 논문에서는 수화 데이터베이스의 단어 선정을 위한 대상 작업 현장을 청각 장애 근로자가 타 직업에 비해 많은 비중을 차지하는 전자 부품 조립 업체로 한정하였다. 수화 데이터베이스는 자음 14종, 모음 17종, 숫자 15종, 일상생활 용어 1000종, 전자 부품 조립 업체에 특화된 단어 50종 및 직업 교육 관련 용어 50종으로 이루어진 총 1146종의 수화 단어를 포함하며, 수화 데이터베이스에 등록되지 않은 단어에 대해서는 지화로 표현하도록 한다. 이 중 전자 부품 조립 업체 특화 단어와 관련하여서는, 현재 동일한 분야의 작업 현장이라 하더라도 각 사업장 간 사용되는 수화가 통일되지 않아 문헌 조사 및 현장 조사를 통해 사용 빈도가 높고 형태가 공통적인 50종을 추려내었다. 본 연구는 실제 업무현장에서 청각장애인이 겪는 의사소통의 문제를 효과적으로 해결함으로써, 청각장애인이 직업 현장에 보다 쉽게 적응하도록 도움을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 일을 통해 자아 실현을 하도록 돕는 방안이 될 수 있다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다.

In the current so-called age of emotion marketing, the independent form of handwriting of calligraphy is being revitalized in various fields such as advertising, book designs, film titles, posters, packages, BI, and even fashion. Thus centered on Gyeyang-gu at the city of Incheon, 100 outdoors signs that used calligraphy were chosen and we researched a reform plan that could revitalize calligraphy in outdoor signs by classifying them according to current conditions of the use of calligraphy, actual conditions of practical use, expression tools, and analyzing the use of colors. The result was trial requests not only from the formalities industry, but also the financial sector, public corporations, and several other businesses, but in order to provide not only for franchise brand logotypes manufactured by expensive experts, but also provide production of high-quality calligraphy for low costs for small private enterprises, the development of a diverse calligraphy education program, centered on the regional society, will be needed. In the midst of globalization, in order to advertise the beauty of Korean alphabet and to create our own unique street culture, a variety of tools and tactile expressions are demanded, in the future the research on the calligraphy of outdoor signs must be revitalized.
