Psychogenic cough is barky, croupy, and explosive and disappears during sleep, and is not affected by antitussive drugs. Physical and radiological examinations of the respiratory tract and other routine laboratory test are normal. It is helpful to recognize this condition early in its course so that appropriate treatment can be instituted before iatrogenic problems resulting in multiple hospitalizations and chronic steroid use occur. We experienced two child and adolescent cases that showing typical psychogenic cough so reported it with the literatures review.

This study investigated the relationships between factors of aggression and satisfaction with life and the differences of irrational belief, primary secondary anger thought, and satisfaction with life among four groups classified based on the levels of hostility and verbal aggression. 268 middle school boys in Chungnam areas served as subjects. The results showed that hostility showed the most negative correlation with satisfaction with life. Stepwise regression analyses showed that hostility negatively predicted satisfaction with life, whereas verbal aggression positively predicted satisfaction with life. Factors of irrational belief, primary/secondary anger thought were negatively correlated with satisfaction with life. Analyses of variances revealed that covert hostility group showed higher scores on self-depreciation, disregard and disappointment in intimate relationship situation, hopelessness, whereas overt hostility group showed higher scores on derogation of others/revenge. In addition, covert hostility group showed lower scores on satisfaction with life than other groups. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.

The main purpose of this paper is to critically examine the intractable problems of Peirce's notion of 'symbol' as a higher and perfect mode of sign, and present a more appropriate account of the higher status of symbol from an experientialist perspective. Peirce distinguished between icon, index, and symbol, and suggested symbol to be a higher mode of sign, in that it additionally requires "interpretation." Within Peirce's picture, the matter of interpretation is to be explained in terms of "interpretant," while icon or index are not. However, Peirce's conception of "interpretant" itself remains fraught with intractable opacities, thereby leaving the nature of symbol in a misty conundrum. Drawing largely on the experientialist account of the nature and structure of symbolic experience, I try to explicate the complexity of symbol in terms of "the symbolic mapping." According to experientialism, our experience consists of two levels, i.e., physical and symbolic. Physical experience can be extended to symbolic level largely by means of "symbolic mapping," and yet is strongly constrained by physical experience. Symbolic mapping is the way in which we map part of certain physical experience onto some other area, thereby understanding the other area in terms of the mapped part of the physical experience. According to this account, all the signs, icon, index, and symbol a la Peirce, are constructed by way of symbolic mapping. While icon and index are constructed by mapping physical level experience onto some signifier(i.e. Peirce's "representamen"), symbol is constructed by mapping abstract level experience onto some signifier. Considering the experientialist account that abstract level of experience is constructed by way of symbolic mapping of physical level of experience, the symbolic mapping of abstract level of experience onto some other area is a secondary one. Thus, symbol, being constructed by way of secondary or more times mapping, becomes a higher level sign. This analysis is based on the idea that explaining the nature of sign is a matter of explaining that symbolic experience, leaving behind Peirce's realist conception of sign as a matter of an event or state of affairs out there. In conclusion, I suggest that this analysis will open up new possibilities for a more appropriate account of the nature of signs, beyond Peirce's complicated riddles.

Sudden esophageal obstruction by a bolus of food is not a rare phenomenon. The individual is frequently elderly and has ill-fitting dentures through others may initiate this by bolting food. In adult patient there is a frequent history of alcoholic intake, the consumption of meat with improper chewing. A common anatomic abnormality leading to meat impaction of the esophagus is hiatal hernia, which is often associated with a ring or stricture. Recently authors experienced a case of repeated esophageal foreign bodies in 10 days in the patient who had esophageal stricture.

안구의 운동은 시각 환경에서의 진행중인 정보처리와 관련된 지각적, 인지적 과정을 밀접히 반영하는 중요한 지표로서, 특히 공간 지각과의 상관은 비교적 명확히 확립되어 있다. 본 연구는 공간지각에 관여하는 안구운동의 특성을 파악하여, 공간지각을 반영하는 안구운동 지표를 개발한다는 목표 아래, 피험자가 느끼는 공간의 확장과 축소의 특성을 이중도약과제(double-step paraeigm)를 사용하여 관찰한 것이다. 이중도약과제는 도약(saccadic)안구운동의 오차를 유발시키는 실험기법으로, 두개의 시각자극을 하나씩 연속적으로 보여주되, 두번째 자극은 안구운동이 일어나는 도중에 제시하는 것으로서, 인위적으로 왜곡된 공간에 대한 피험자의 공간적응을 관찰하는데 사용되었다. 이 과제는 다시 자극의 이차도약 방향에 따라 축소감 조건과 확장감 조건으로 나뉘었고, 머리운동의 역할을 판별하기 위해 머리를 고정한 조건과 머리를 자유롭게한 조건으로 분류되었다. 그 결과 머리가 고정된 상태에서는 축소감 조건에 대한 적응이 확장감 조건에서보다 더 빨리 일어나고, 그 적응후의 시선이동의 변화량에서도 축소감 조건이 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 머리를 자유롭게 할 공간 지각의 정확성이 증가하며, 축소감과 확장감 경험속도의 차이가 약 49.2%까지 해소되었으나, 여전히 축소감의 경험이 더 잘 일어났다.

It is unfair that environmental pragmatism has been regarded as a mouthpiece for industrial expediency and business boosterism. John Dewey's radical pragmatism known as 'Instrumentalism' has provoked ecological fundamentalists' criticism more vehemently than any other pragmatic philosophies. However, most of the presumptive misunderstandings of such critics as Holmes Rolston, J. Baird Calliott, Erich Katz, C. A. Bowers and many others come from their limited or reduced reading of Deweyan pragmatism. The following three aspects of Deweyan pragmatism can work out in opening up a dialogical space with those eco-centrist thinkers mentioned above. First, the concept of Dewey's 'primary experience' can articulate the foundationalist view of nature, which is often found in aboriginal cultures. Second, as Andrew Light points out, ecological essentialism can share its metaphilosophical position with the pragmatist epistemology. While Anthony Weston pursues pluralism, admitting that the foundationalism might be one of the efficient approaches to nature, Eric Katz is also clearly attracted to the metaphilosophical element in Weston's argument that anyone who attempts to claim the 'inherent value' of non-human nature never possibly avoids a pitfall of anthropomorphism. Lastly, in a more comprehensive perspective, Dewey's pragmatism shows a philosophical complexity, what Larry A. Hickman calls 'post-postmodernism.' a dynamic interaction between modernism and postmodernism. Significantly enough, the environmental version of this complexity can procure a meeting ground between foundationalist ecology and the pragmatic view of nature.

Intuition in the mathematical problem solving has been stressed the importance with the logic because intuition is the cognition that give significant clue or idea to problem solving. Fischbein classified intuition by the origin; primary intuition and secondary intuition And he said the role of the personal experience and school education. Through these precedent research, we can understand the social influence. This study attempt to investigate social intuition model of Haidt, moral psychologist that has surfaced social property of intuition in terms of the mathematical problem solving. The major suggestions in problem solving and the education of intuition are followed. First, I can find the social property of intuition in the mathematical problem solving. Second, It is possible to make the mathematical problem solving model by transforming the social intuitionist model. Third, the role of teacher is important to give the meaningful experience for intuition to their students. Fourth, for reducing the errors caused by the coerciveness and globality of intuition, we need the education of checking their own intuition. In other words, we need intuition education emphasized on metacognition.

There are various types of real world signals. For example, an electrocardiogram(ECG) represents myocardium activities (contraction and relaxation) according to the beating of the heart. ECG can be expressed as the fluctuation of ampere ratings over time. A signal is a composite of various types of signals. An orchestra (which boasts a beautiful melody) consists of a variety of instruments with a unique frequency; subsequently, each sound is combined to form a perfect harmony. Various research on how to to decompose mixed stationary signals have been conducted. In the case of non-stationary signals, there is a limitation to use methodologies for stationary signals. Huang et al. (1998) proposed empirical mode decomposition(EMD) to deal with non-stationarity. EMD provides a data-driven approach to decompose a signal into intrinsic mode functions according to local oscillation through the identification of local extrema. However, due to the repeating process in the construction of envelopes, EMD algorithm is not efficient and not robust to a noise, and its computational complexity tends to increase as the size of a signal grows. In this research, we propose a new method to extract a local oscillation embedded in a signal by utilizing the second derivative.

The patient is a 62-year-old man with known diabetes mellitus who presented with a two-weeks-history of dyspnea, cough, and fever. He was diagnosed with a lung abscess in the right upper lobe and was treated with intravenous antibiotics. The patient's clinical and radiological findings improved within seven days after medical treatment. However, newly developed ground-glass opacity and infiltrations were observed in the right lower lung. Fourteen days after admission, the patient's symptoms and imaging finding became aggravated despite trestment with susceptible antibiotics for lung abscess. Trans-bronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) was performed in the lateral basal segment of the right lower lobe of the lung. A histologic photomicrograph showed organizing pneumonia, also called bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia(BOOP), that became more definite as the terminal bronchioles and alveoli became occluded with masses of inflammatory cells and fibrotic tissue. The clinical symptoms and radiograph findings resolved quickly with prednisone treatment. We report a case of secondary organizing pneumonia diagnosed after TBLB following lung abscess treatment and provide a review of the literature.
