The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of group forgiveness program for female elders who had deep and unfair personal hurt experiences from their social relationships. Subjects were divided into 2 groups. The sample was comprised of 20 elders, capable of verbal communication. Experimental and control groups composed of elders, each 2 elders dropped out of each group due to personal reasons. Experimental group completed a total of eight consecutive group forgiveness program sessions that combined listening and supportive techniques. Additionally, qualitative investigations were also done through interviews and observations. Following the intervention, experimental group experienced a significant improvement in degree of forgiveness(t=3.05, p<.01), anger(t=3.78, p<.01), anxiety(F=5.93, p<.05), depression(F=16.73, p<.01). Qualitative analysis also resulted that the elderly relationships were changing positively. This study implies that group forgiveness program was effective in improving elder's degree of forgiveness and reducing anger, anxiety and depression so that the participants were to value their whole life more.

The synthetic turbulence generation model for inlet boundary conditions of subsonic Backward Facing Step (BFS) was investigated. The average u-velocity and Reynolds stress at inlet boundary follows experimental data. Synthetic Eddy Method (SEM), random noise, and uniform flow conditions were implemented relative to the synthetic turbulence generation method. A three dimensional Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was applied for turbulent flow simulation. Turbulent and mean flow characteristics such as flow reattachment length, velocity profiles, and Reynolds stress profiles of BFS were compared with respect to the turbulent effects.

Today's mobile devices have characteristic of random mobility in the heterogeneous networks. Thus they should have various kinds of security requirements. To satisfy these requirements, there are many researches on security and authentication for mobile devices. TCG(Trusted Computing Group) designed TPM(Trusted Platform Module) for providing privacy and authentication to users. Also TCG suggest a protocol, called DAA(Direct Anonymous Attestation) which uses zero knowledge proof theory. In this paper, we will implement DAA protocol using Java and show the efficiency and the problems in the DAA protocol. Finally, we will suggest an efficient mobile DAA model through Java test module for the DAA protocol.

In sensor network systems, various hierarchical clustering schemes have been proposed in order to efficiently maintain the energy consumption of sensor nodes. Most of these schemes, however, are hardly applicable in practice since these schemes might produce unbalanced clusters or randomly distributed clusters without taking into account of the distribution of sensor nodes. To overcome the limitations of such hierarchical clustering schemes, we propose a novel scheme called CSM(Clustering using Split & Merge algorithm), which exploits node split and merge algorithm of tree-based indexing structures to efficiently construct clusters. Our extensive performance studies show that the CSM constructs highly balanced clustering in a energy efficient way and achieves higher performance up to 1.6 times than the previous clustering schemes, under various operational conditions.

In this paper, we propose a gene family based RNA-seq read distribution method in means to accelerate the overal transcriptome assembly computation time. To measure the performance of our transcriptome sequence data distribution method, we evaluated the performance by testing four types of data sets of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome (Whole Unclassified Reads, Family-Classified Reads, Model-Classified Reads, and Randomly Classified Reads). As a result of de novo transcript assembly in distributed nodes using model classification data, the generated gene contigs matched 95% compared to the contig generated by WUR, and the execution time was reduced by 4.2 times compared to a single node environment using the same resources.

최근 인터넷상에서는 이형 네트워크 상황에서 효율적인 화상회의를 하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이형 네트워크에서 화상회의를 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서는 각 수신자의 네트워크 상태에 알맞게 데이터를 보내주어야 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 McCanne은 계층적 코딩 방식과 RLM(Receiver-driven Layered Multicast)방식을 결합하여 사용할 것을 제안하였다. 계층적 코딩 방식은 하나의 이미지 프레임을 여러 계층의 데이터 스트림으로 나누는 방식으로 수신자는 많은 계층의 스트림을 받아볼수록 선명한 영상을 볼 수 있다. RLM은 각 수신자의 네트워크 상태에 따라 몇 개의 데이터 스트림을 수신할 것인가를 결정하는 방식이다.. 본 논문에서는 기존 RLM방식의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 적응적 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 RLM방식은 무작위적으로 정한 시간에 수신하는 데이터 스트림의 개수를 증가시키고 또한 네트워크가 정체가 되면 수신하는 데이터 스트림의 개수를 감소시키는 방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 스트림의 개수를 증가시키는 시간을 네트워크의 상태에 따라 적응적으로 결정하는 기법을 소개한다. 시뮬레이션 실험에 의하면 적응적 기법이 기존 RLM에 비해 네트워크 사용 효율을 10%-30%정도 향상시킨다.

This study was to investigate the effects of music-combined respiration and oral motor training on the voice of healthy elderly. 27 women attending a senior center in Seoul participated and were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 16) and the control group (n = 11). Subjects attended music program(25 minutes per session) once a week for 4 weeks. For both groups, Fundamental Frequency (F0), Maximum Phonation Time (MPT) and Sequential Motion Rates (SMR) were measured using the Praat speech analysis program before and after the training. The results showed statistical significance in scores of intensity, F0, MPT, and SMR in the experimental group while only intensity was statistically significant in the control group. Considering that, the increasing life expectancy and growing number of older adults, their quality of life has been important. So this study suggests that the respiration and oral motor training would be effectively incorporated into training and services for this population.

The purpose of this study is to compare the speed, confidence, and ease of endotracheal intubation in a transfer posture by using the SALT(Supraglottic Airway Laryngopharyngeal Tube), and a direct laryngoscope to improve the ability to implement professional airway management. The subject of the study was an experimental study by a randomized crossover design, targeting 28 first-class emergency medical technicians working in J-do fire station, and the SPSS 20.0 version was used for data analysis. The endotracheal intubation by using SALT showed a significant difference in speed compared to endotracheal intubation by using a direct laryngoscope(p<.001), and also showed a significant difference in confidence and ease(p<.001). If it is transfer to endotracheal intubation by direct laryngoscope, or in the case of transfer patients, if SALT is used, safe and rapid intubation will be possible.

In this study we investigated the effects of physical therapeutic intervention through electromyography, ultrasonographic imaging and changes of the IL-$1{\beta}$, IGF-1 and IGF-2 in skeletal muscle of rats injured experimentally. The twenty Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into the 4 groups: a normal, a control, a low power laser and a neuromuscular electrical stimulation group. Abnormal spontaneous activities had not been shown, both in normal and skeletal muscle injured rats. The maximum diameter of the calf muscle was significantly increased in the low power laser and neuromuscular electrical stimulation groups compared with control group. The level of the serum IL-$1{\beta}$ was more decreased in the low power laser and neuromuscular electrical stimulation groups than that of control group. The activation level of the IGF-1 and the IGF-2 were significantly higher in the control, low power laser and neuromuscular electrical stimulation groups than that of normal group. However, there was no statistically significant difference among the control, low power laser and neuromuscular electrical stimulation groups.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of spiritual education for spiritual care competence reinforcement of nursing students. 83 subjects of nursing students were participated in two universities located in J city(from February 27 to May 19, 2017) and composed of 42 in the experimental group and 41 in the control group. The spiritual education was composed of three sections; self-awareness, spirituality, and spiritual dimension in nursing. This program was then implemented on the subjects for a total of 10 sessions with each session lasting 120 minutes and given 2 times a week for 5 weeks. The data collected were analyzed for descriptive statistics, χ2-test, Independent t-test and Repeated ANOVA. This spiritual education increased the spirituality, ego-identity, spiritual well-being, satisfaction with life, and spiritual care competence of the nursing students. The effectiveness of the spiritual education also maintained in five weeks after intervention. It is therefore proposed that this education be utilized for the nursing students as basic standardization process of a spiritual nursing care.
