Purpose: PET/CT scan using the SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) of radiopharmaceutical uptake in organs and tissues as an objective indicator makes it possible to analyze physiological and chemical reactions of human organs. This study analyzes the change of the SUV uptake in accordance with the way how PET/CT patients take a rest after the injection of $^{18}F-FDG$ (Fluororo-deoxyglucose). And also subjective satisfaction is assessed listening to music while taking a rest. Materials and Methods: From April 2011 until February 2013, Among the Primary cancer patients who admitted to the Catholic Medical Center (Seoul & Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital) and scanned $^{18}F-FDG$ PET/CT and also received care through the tracking test (mean age $55.61{\pm}12.41$ years, 108 people, 48 men and 60 women) were selected. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group (A: basal study) is requested to take a rest in bed quietly after the injection. However the second one (B: follow up study) is requested to listen to the music while taking a rest. And then SUV analysis was performed respectively. At the end of the scan, ROI (Region Of Interest) were set from the center of the liver (right lobe) and 3 spots of the brain (frontal, temporal, and occipital lobes). And the SUV was calculated. To identify the correlation among those ROIs, paired t-test was performed using SPSS software (Version 12.0K for windows, P>0.05). Also, after the PET/CT scan the satisfaction study was conducted of all the patients. 1:1 questionnaire survey was performed, and that questionnaire was made using the Likert 5-point scale. By utilizing those questionnaires, the analysis about simple frequency, percentage, average, and standard deviation was performed. Results: The SUV change of the 4 designated ROIs in accordance with listening to music was not statistically significant. (Frontal lobe P-value=0.611, Occipital lobe P-value=0.499, Temporal lobe P-value=0.717, Liver P-value=0.334: P-value>0.05) And the satisfaction study indicated that group B was appear to be 0.42 points (5 basis points) higher than group A. It showed that patients are more satisfied in group B than group A. Conclusion: when performing PET/CT scan using $^{18}F-FDG$, listening to music after the injection of the radiopharmaceuticals does not affect the SUV but given the state of the psychological comfort that may increase the patient's satisfaction.

Yoga meditation and music therapy are considered to be appropriate for the spiritual and mental treatment for the patients and employed in many clinics and rehabilitation centers as an alternative medicine. This study aims at the analysis of the effects of yoga and music on the treatment of alcoholism. For this, yoga and music treatments were executed for the patients hospitalized in an alcohol clinic hospital in Gimhae district. Only the patients who were judged as alcohol dependents by a psychiatrist with a diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV participated in the study. During five weeks, from November 10, 2009 to December 29, yoga program was practiced two times per week, totaling 10 times, and music therapy was practiced one time per week, totaling 5 times. Among the patients participated in the programs, 44patients were selected finally. They are 16 patients who performed all the yoga programs, and 28 patients who fulfilled all the music therapies. A survey was conducted on them to estimate the effects of yoga and music treatments for the three cases of 'angry behavior', 'anger expression', and 'psychological state at interview'. The results show that yoga and music treatments have positive effects on the patients, although the statistical significance is not so great. However, the more reliable and significant results could be obtained in further studies by prolongation of the practice period, and by introducing the clinical information such as brain mapping to compensate the emotional bias of the patients.

With broad individual variability in social communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders and increasing focus on interventions targeting social communication of this population, there is a need for systematic analysis of how social communication outcomes are measured. This study aimed to systematically analyze the measurement tools used in the music therapy interventions for improving social communication of children with ASD. Electronic databases and music therapy journals were searched for controlled studies published between 1980 and 2015. A total of 21 studies were included for the analysis. The results demonstrated that direct observation of behaviors was the most frequently used and the combination of targeted social communication areas and specific measurements used for a specific skill varied among the studies. In addition, 90.4% of studies reported interrater reliability. These results indicate that there has been a diversity in approaches to measure social communication skills despite increasing attempts for systematic measurements. In consideration of the nature of social communication development in children with ASD, multifaceted strategy to understand and assess the target skills in terms of specific behavior acquisition, social functioning in general, and social cognition was recommended.

The objective of this study was to improve the self-expression of children through Orff activities. In this study, three (3) children from D day care center in Seoul who demonstrated withdrawn behaviors were chosen as research subjects, based on a self-expression test score of 50 points. The activities were conducted for 6 weeks, totaling fourteen (14) sessions, with each session being scheduled for forty (40) minutes. Across 14 sessions, the researcher conducted, analyzed and compared the self-expression scale of subjects, measured during the third and the last session. The researcher then qualitatively analyzed verbal and non-verbal self-expression behaviors of subjects by video recording the session. The analysis results shown by the study are as follows. First, the results of a quantitative analysis of the self-expression scale showed significant changes in self expression. Furthermore, the results of a qualitative analysis of verbal self-expression showed positive changes in self-perception and an increase in feelings of independence and activity than that of initial sessions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness of early childhood teachers for the development of early childhood education programs using background music. The subjects of this study were 272 early childhood teachers of kindergartens in Busan and Kyungnam provinces. The data were collected through questionnaires on the awareness of children's appreciation of fairy tales using background music. The collected data were analyzed by frequency and percentage using SPSS 18.0 program. The results of this study are as follows: First, the number of early childhood teachers who had experience of performing fairy tales using background music were less than half of them. Secondly, the purpose of appreciation of fairy tales using background music was to develop rich emotions. In order to understand the systematic knowledge and concept of background music, it was necessary to supply background music in various life styles. Third, development of a fairy tale appreciation program using background music was generally required. Third, development of a fairy tale appreciation program using background music was generally required. Fourth, a fairy tale appreciation program using background music is appropriate for the large group activity time of 10~20 minutes one or two times a week and it was necessary to have a concatenated structure of pre-activities, introduction methods, questioning techniques in development, finishing methods, evaluation methods, and extension activity methods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate listener's affective responses to different vocal registers and modes in terms of valence (i.e., negative to positive affect) and arousal (i.e., low to high energy level). The data were collected from four different conditions (i.e., higher and lower registers paired with major and minor modes). A total of 188 female college students participated in the survey online and rated their perceived valence and arousal levels on a visual analogue scale after listening to each excerpt. The two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was administered for data analysis. The results revealed that there were significant differences in the affective responses to the two vocal registers, showing that the arousal was more affected by the register than the valence. Secondly, mode had statistically significant impact on both valence and arousal while weighing more on valence. Further, there was significant interaction effect of vocal register and mode on valence, but not on arousal. Results also displayed that listeners had the most negative valence when listening to the excerpt of minor mode in higher register, while having the lowest arousal when listening to the excerpt of minor mode in lower register. These findings imply that it is important to consider the vocal range as well as the musical mode when selecting music for appreciation.

세계는 점점 더 가까워지고 함께 공유하는 문화적 산물이 많아져 가면서 그 나라 고유의 전통문화의 존재의식은 젊은 층으로 내려갈수록 더욱 퇴색되어져가고 있다. 우리가 언제 어디서나 쉽게 듣고 즐기는 음악 또한 예외는 아니다. 쉽게 서양의 음악을 흥얼거리는 사람은 많아도 우리 국악을 흥얼거리며 가깝게 여기는 사람은 그리 많지 않을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 6차 교육과정 이후 계속 그 중요성이 강조되고 있는 국악을 학생들로 하여금 좀 더 흥미와 관심을 가지고 더 잘 이해할 수 있고 더 가깝게 여길 수 있도록 하기 위해 음성게시판을 활용한 국악교육 사이트를 설계하고자 한다. 이는 초등 현장에서 교사의 수업 보조 자료는 물론 학생 개개인이 시 공간의 제약을 받지 않고 학습할 수 있으며 음성 게시판에 게재된 내용을 통해 교사의 일대일 조언은 물론 다양한 평가의 자료로 활용할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

21세기에 들어서면서 컴퓨터와 인터넷의 급격한 발달은 인류의 정치 경제 사회 문화의 모든 트랜드를 바꿔 놓고 있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 그 결과 아날로그와 오프라인의 시대에서 이제는 디지털과 온라인의 시대로 우리의 생활 중심이 옮겨가고 있다. 자원이 부족한 우리나라는 정보화측면에서는 선진국으로 평가받고 있으며, 이를 토대로 CT(Cultural Technology)를 국가전략분야로 육성해나가고 있는 등 세계화시대 및 문화산업시대의 도래와 함께 부가가치의 창출을 극대화할 수 있는 분야로 주목하고 있다. 그러나 디지털 강국인 우리나라에서는 정보화촉진기본법 등의 제정을 통하여 자료의 디지털 화에만 엄청난 예산을 쏟아 붓고 있다. 하지만 이제는 그보다 더 중요한 정보의 활용 즉, 활성화 측면에 관심을 가져야 할 때이다. 활성화되지 못한 디지털 자료는 땅속에 묻혀있는 오래된 유물과도 같다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 전통문화 콘텐츠 중에서도 특히 디지털화가 가장 용이하며, 활성화의 가능성이 가장 높은 디지털 전통음악 콘텐츠의 활성화를 위한 문제점과 이를 해결하기 위한 방안을 모색하였다.

다양한 문화 활동 중에 음악 활동은 일반인이 가장 접하기 쉬운 영역이다. 이러한 음악 활동을 좀 더 쉽고 체계적으로 해야 할 필요성이 있다. 하지만 악보를 모르는 일반 사용자들은 악보에 대한 일종의 공포심이 있다. 마치 외국어에 대한 트라우마처럼 말이다. 하지만 연습이나 연주 시에는 본인도 모르게 가상의 악보를 따라서 연주를 하는 것이다. 반대로 악보를 보여주면 지레 겁을 먼저 먹기 십상이다. 이러한 사태를 미연 방지하고 나아가서 비전문가들도 자신의 음악을 소유하기 위해서 스마트폰의 어플리케이션을 이용하여 위와 같은 문제를 해소하고 개선하는 것이다.
