게임의 교육적 목적으로의 활용에 대해 관심이 늘고 있다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 최근 게임을 통한 리더십 함양이 화두가 되고 있다. 각 기업체에서는 직원들의 리더십 함양을 위해 게임을 활용하고자 다양한 시도를 꾀하고 있기도 하다. 특히 이 같은 흐름에는 무엇보다 MMORPG 게임이 두드러진다. 왜냐하면 MMORPG 에는 현실 세계와 흡사한 정치, 경제, 사회 시스템이 내재되어 다수의 플레이어와 협동, 경쟁을 하며 목표를 달성해나가는 과정이 담겨있기 때문이다. 하지만 현실과 많은 유사성을 가지고 있는 가상세계이지만 현실과 동일한 잣대로 가상세계에서의 사용자의 성향을 판단하기에는 아직 무리가 있다. 분명 게임이라는 가상공간과 현실세계는 명백한 차이점이 존재하기 때문이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 게임 내에서의 리더십 유형과 현실에서의 리더십 유형간의 직접적인 상관관계에 대한 연구가 아직 이루어지지 않았다는 점에 초점을 맞추었다. 다시 말해 게임을 통한 현실에서의 리더십 함양의 가능성을 언급하기에 앞서 근본적으로 현실과 가상공간에서의 리더십 양상의 상관성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다고 생각된다. 본 연구는 우선 현실세계에서의 리더십 성향이 가상세계에서도 동일하게 적용되는지 1군주의 사용자를 중심으로 살펴본다. 그리고 군주 사용자의 심층인터뷰를 통하여 게임 내에서 리더십을 발현시킬 수 있는 여러 요소 (긍정적 요소 장애요소 등)를 살펴보고 향후 리더십 함양을 위한 게임 기획에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Developmental language disorder is the most common developmental disability in childhood, occurring in 5-8% of preschool children. Children learn language in early childhood, and later they use language to learn. Children with language disorders are at increased risk for difficulties with reading and written language when they enter school. These problems often persist through adolescence or adulthood. Early intervention may prevent the more serious consequences of later academic problems, including learning disabilities. A child's performance in specific speech and language areas, such as phonological ability, vocabulary comprehension, and grammatical usage, is measured objectively using the most recently standardized, norm-referenced tests for a particular age group. Observation and qualitative analysis of a child's performance supplement objective test results are essential for making a diagnosis and devising a treatment plan. Emphasis on the team approach system in the evaluation of children with speech and language impairments has been increasing. Evidence-based therapeutic interventions with short-term, long-term, and functional outcome goals should be applied, because there are many examples of controversial practices that have not been validated in large, controlled trials. Following treatment intervention, periodic follow-up monitoring by a doctor is also important. In addition, a systematized national health policy for children with speech and language disorders should be provided.

The purpose of present study is to examine differences between habitual speech (HS) and clear speech (CS) in individuals with mild dysarthria. Twelve speakers with mild dysarthria and twelve healthy control speakers read sentences in two speaking styles. Formant and intensity related values, triangular area, and center of gravity of /a/, /i/, and /u/ were measured. In addition, formant-ratio variables such as vowel space area(VSA), vowel articulatory index (VAI), formant centralization ratio (FCR) and F2i/F1u ratio (F2 ratio) were calculated. The results of repeated-measures ANOVA showed a significant difference in F2 of vowel /i/ and F2 energy of vowel /a/ between groups. Regarding formant energy, F2 energy of vowel /a/ were observed as meaningful variables between speaking styles. There were significant speaking style-by-group interactions for F2 energy of vowel /a/. These findings indicated that current parameters could discriminate healthy group and mild dysarthria group meaningfully and that speaker with dysarthria had larger clear speech benefit than healthy talkers. We also claim that various acoustic changes of clear speech may contribute to improving vowel intelligibility.

The purpose of this study was to find out the ability of coordination of the articulatory motor and the ability of control of the respiration and laryngeal for spastic dysarthria by acoustic analysis. The sustained of vowel /a/ and repetition of syllable /pa/ in 15 normal and 10 spastic dysarthria were measured. Multi-Speech, MDVP, and MSP were used for data recording and analysis. As a result, the mean DDK rate in the spastic group was significantly slower than in the normal. The maximum phonation time in the spastic group ($4.80{\pm}1.94$) was shorter than in the normal ($11.20{\pm}3.72$). The DDKjit in the spastic group was significantly higher than in the normal. The DDKsla was reduced in the spastic group. The mean syllable duration in the spastic group (146.2ms) was significantly longer than in the normal (75.8ms). The mean energy was reduced in the spastic group. The range of Fo was greater than in the normal. The frequency perturbation (jitter, vFo) and amplitude perturbation (shimmer, vAm) were higher than in the normal group. The NHR was higher than in the normal group. The parameters of this were significantly difference between the spastic dysarthria and the normal (p<0.05). Finally, the spastic dysarthria has short respiration, slow speech rate, and voice quality problem. The these results will help to establish a plan and the intervention of treatment.

척추의 기본적인 생체 역학적 기능은 신체 부분간의 운동을 허용하고 척수와 신경근을 보호하는 것으로서 이러한 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 척추의 역학적 안정성이 필수적이다. 척추의 안정체계는 수동적 근 골격계, 능동적 근 골격계, 그리고 신경계의 세 가지 하부체계로 나누어지며 이들 하부체계는 각각 독립적으로 안정성에 관여하고 있다. 경추의 불안정성의 문제는 비정상적으로 증가된 추간관절의 운동에 의해 염증성의 신경을 압박 또는 신장하거나 또는 통증수용기가 많이 분포하는 인대, 관절낭, 섬유륜과 종판에 비정상적인 변형을 일으키는 것을 말한다. 안정성의 장애는 근육의 기능적 측면에서 국소적 안정체계와 포괄적 안정체계의 문제로 구분할 수 있다. 불안정한 경추 환자의 임상적 양상은 일반적으로 머리가 앞으로 나오고 전방 전위된 자세로 견갑대와 승모근 상부의 과활동성을 나타낸다. 또한 능동운동은 감소되지 않으나 수동운동에서 분절의 회전운동과 병진운동의 증가와 종말감의 변화가 있다. 경추의 불안정성을 관리하기 위한 실험적 연구로 전반적인 근육 훈련, 고유수용기 훈련, 그리고 도수치료의 세 가지 주된 접근법이 있고 실제적인 접근법으로는 고유수용성 재활프로그램, 칼텐본-에반스 접근법, 그리고, 슬링운동법 등이 있다. 각 방법들은 임상에서 나름대로의 이점이 있으며 환자의 상태에 따라 이들 방법을 단독으로 또는 병행해서 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 경추에서 이러한 방법들의 효과를 입증하는 증거는 부족하여 앞으로 이러한 방법에 대한 임상적 경험보다는 그 효과를 입증할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다고 본다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of articulatory intervention using visual phonics to improve the speech intelligibility of children with impaired hearing. The subjects of the study were five hearing impaired children. As per the results of the UTAP articulation tests, five phonemes with the most frequent errors were selected for each child and a total of 10 sessions were provided. The methodology involved analyzing vowel space and related measures (vowel space area, vowel articulatory index, formant centralization ratio, and F2i/F2u ratio) before and after the visual phonics intervention. After the articulation intervention, every child's speech intelligibility improved, their vowel space area was widened, the FCR value decreased, and the F2ratio value increased. These results show that the use of visual phonics through symbolic images and hand clues has a positive effect in terms of improving the speech intelligibility of children with impaired hearing.

The switching system software is large scale, real-time multi-task system which requires high reliability. The reliability assessment of large-scale software is very important for the success of software development project. For this raeson, the software quality measurement is much more important. In this paper, we have learned about the software reliability, metho of the analysis of failure data and estimation of software quality. To estimate the software reliability, using the failure data found during of the system test. We apply the two software reliability growth models, named Goel-Okumoto(G-O) and S-shaped model, to estimate the software reliability. Also, we compared with the results and we reviewed fully not only development cycle but validation and verification of the test data, for each software versions. This paper presents a software reliability model that suitale the software development project and the activeity of quality control for the switching system.
