It is necessary that the old should have the physical and social ability to perform their daily life. This study is to grasp their degree of disability and problems and suggest their solutions. It surveyed the 87 old people over 65 years old from September 1st until September 30th, in 1997. The findings are as follows. 1) The activities of daily living(ADL) to find their degree of physical disability shows that their average performance ability is 75.9% of all the action while 24.1% of all the old people needs the others' help. As they get older and older, the aged drop off in their physical ability, which is related to a statistical sense (p<0.001). 2) The social disability shows that the aged have their great difference from 9.2% to 85.1% in their instrumental activities of daily living(IADL), intellectual ability and social role. 3) A simple analysis shows that the activities of daily living are, in a statistical sense, related to age(p<0.001), the use of elder's hall(p<0.001), the understanding degree of health(p<0.01) and so forth. 4) A simple analysis shows that the instrumental activities of daily living are, in a statistical sense, related to age(p<0.001), the degree of education(p<0.05), the life of leisure(p<0.001), the understanding degree of health and so forth. 5) A multivariate logistic regression analysis shows that the disability of daily living is related to age, the visit of elder's hall, the period of solitary living, instrumental activities of daily living is age and the visit of elder's hall, and social role is the visit of elder's hall and the decree of education, while intellectual activity has no related variables in a statistical sense.

This study was conducted to compare the effects of general and pathological characteristics of elderly with dementia on their cognitive ability, performance of activities of daily living (ADL), and quality of life. Data were collected between July 15 and August 30, 2016 from 136 elderly with dementia who used day care centers. The Korean version of Mini-Mental Status Examination, Korean version of Modified Barthel Index, and Korean version of the WHO Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version were used for data collection and values obtained were analyzed accordingly. Significant correlations were found between cognitive ability and performance of ADL, between quality of life and cognitive ability, and between cognitive ability and performance of ADL (p<.001). Moreover, quality of life of elderly with dementia was greatly affected by cognitive ability and performance of ADL (p<.01). Therefore, it is believed that more active therapeutic interventions and studies are needed from sociophysical aspect of elderly with dementia. Therefore, it is believed that more active therapeutic interventions and studies are needed from sociophysical aspect of elderly with dementia.

From several commercialized games the technique of changing facial expressions is imported, and a design method of a game character for the player's empathy is expected to be diversified in the future. In this paper, as a design method of a game character for the player's empathy, this makes walking motion for the game character applied with 'human-emotion' factors as statistics variation of a game character in RPG genre. After this paper implements analyzed emotions of human facial expression and walking motions applied with emotion in examples of character animation theory, this paper divides walking motion applied with human-emotion factors into 8 types through relationship to statistics factors in RPG genre. And then these are applied to a knight character, which has the most similarity with human's physical feature of the game characters in RPG genre, and makes walking motion as variable statistics. As a game player controls the game character applied with 'human-emotion' factors, the effect of the player's empathy about the game character becomes higher, and the level of immersion in game play is also expected to increase.

Various literatures related computing of information processing have been recently shown the researches inspired from the remarkably excellent human capabilities which recognize and categorize very complex visual patterns such as body motions and facial expressions. Applied from human's outstanding ability of perception, the classification function of visual sequences without context information is specially crucial task for computer vision to understand both the coding and the retrieval of spatio-temporal patterns. This paper presents a biological process based action recognition model of computer vision, which is inspired from visual information processing of human brain for action recognition of visual sequences. Proposed model employs the structure of neural fields of bio-inspired visual perception on detecting motion sequences and discriminating visual patterns in human brain. Experimental results show that proposed recognition model takes not only into account several biological properties of visual information processing, but also is tolerant of time-warping. Furthermore, the model allows robust temporal evolution of classification compared to researches of action recognition. Presented model contributes to implement bio-inspired visual processing system such as intelligent robot agent, etc.

전력산업의 경쟁도입 환경으로 인한 송전서비스에 대한 증가된 수요를 보여주고 있다. NERC의 1997-2000 신뢰도 평가 보고서에 의하면 과거 10년동안 대부분의 송전시스템 추가는 지역적 보강을 위해 이루어졌다. 전 계통의 시스템 능력을 강화시키는 큰 송전시스템의 증설은 거의 이루어지지 않았다. SPS는 비정상적 계통 상황을 검출하고 미리 계획된 동작을 수행함으로써 비정상적 상황을 회피하여 정상적 계통을 유지하게 한다. SPS는 계통의 송전능력을 증가시키는데 자주 이용된다. 새로운 송전설비 증설의 대안으로 비용면에서 값싼 SPS가 활용되어지는 것이다. SPS가 정확하게 동작한다면 상정사고에 대한 시스템 능력을 매우 향상된다. 그러나 미리 정의된 상황을 검출하는데 실패하거나 미리 계획된 교정동작을 수행하는데 실패한다면 매우 심각한 결과를 초래한다. IEEE-CIGRE 설문조사에서 보여주듯이 SPS 동작 실패는 비용면에서 매우 높은편으로 응답되었다. 따라서 단순 비용 평가를 통해 SPS를 도입을 결정할 수 없다. 경제적 위험 평가를 통해 SPS가 있을때와 없을때의 위험을 평가하여 의사결정에 반영하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 SPS의 위험을 평가하는 절차를 보여주고 산업에서 SPS 경험들을 소개하도록 한다.
