The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a cognitive enhancement program combined Silbot on cognitive function, depression, and dementia prevention behavior in the elderly complaining of subjective memory decline. The subjects were 170 elderly people living in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, and the study was performed at a welfare center. A total of 20 sessions program using Silbot and physical activity was developed and applied, and were evaluated using the Korean version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (K-MoCA), Geriatric depression Scale(GDS) , and Dementia Prevention Behavior before and after intervention. As a result of the study, the cognitive enhancement program combined Silbot showed statistically significant changes in cognitive function (t=-4.49, p<.001) and depression (t=2.58, p=.023) in the elderly. Therefore, it is expected that the cognitive enhancement program using Silbot will be a useful program that can enhance the cognitive function of the elderly and reduce depression.

This study aims to propose instituting the serious games of language-based cognitive enhancement for the BIF children. The program consists of 4 cognitive areas (perception, attention, working memory, knowledge inference) in 4 language dimensions (phoneme, word, sentence, discourse). 16 games of 4 areas/2 dimensions with 3 difficulty levels were implemented in a mobile station and pilot-tested to children including BIFs. The results from the pilot tests supported for the validity and effectiveness of our games: Children's game performance correlated with their IQ scores (overall and sub-areas) revealing significant differences between the groups. The stroop scores in pre-and-post training hinted the increase of children's cognitive control.

In this paper, we propose a reinforce learning based on cooperative sensing scheme to select optimal secondary users(SUs) to enhance the detection performance of spectrum sensing in Cognitive radio(CR) networks. The SU with high accuracy is identified based on the similarity between the global sensing result obtained through cooperative sensing and the local sensing result of the SU. A fusion center(FC) uses similarity of SUs as reward value for Q-learning to determine SUs which participate in cooperative sensing with accurate sensing results. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the detection performance compared to conventional cooperative sensing schemes.

지식을 관리하는 것에 주력했던 기존의 인공지능 연구 방향은 동적으로 움직이는 외부 환경에서 적응할 수 있는 시스템 구축으로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 시스템의 기본 능력을 이루는 많은 학습방법 중에서 비교적 최근에 제시된 강화학습은 일반적인 사례에 적용하기 쉽고 동적인 환경에서 뛰어난 적응 능력을 보여주었다. 이런 장점을 바탕으로 강화학습은 에이전트 연구에 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 현재까지 연구결과는 강화학습으로 구축된 에이전트로 해결할 수 있는 작업의 난이도에 한계가 있음을 보이고 있다. 특히, 복수의 부분 작업으로 구성되어 있는 작업을 처리할 경우에 기본의 강화학습 방법은 문제 해결에 한계를 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 복수의 부분 작업으로 구성된 작업이 왜 처리하기 힘든가를 분석하고, 이런 문제를 처리할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 EQ-Learning의 강화학습 방법의 대표적인 Q-Learning을 확장시켜 문제를 해결한다. 이 방법은 각각의 부분 작업 해결 방안을 학습시키고 그 학습 결과들의 적절한 순서를 찾아내 전체 작업을 해결한다. EQ-Learning의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 격자 공간에서 복수의 부분작업으로 구성된 미로 문제를 통하여 실험하였다.

In this paper, we apply a context awareness based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to a sound reinforcement for hearing impaired. In our approach, the harmful sound amplified through the sound reinforcement algorithm according to context awareness based on GMM which is constructed as Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) feature vector from sound data. According to the experimental results, the proposed approach is found to be effective in the various acoustic environments.

Elderly welfare practitioners study on job performance systems and information security management though important information, including personal information, social services for the elderly extent of protection is insufficient. The elder welfare institution engaged in information security of whether the research was conducted to enhance information security capabilities against How does affect the information security acts as a parameter. The empirical research was conducted by latent mean analysis by gender of workers. As a result of the study, there were differences among the groups according to gender in relation to information security awareness, information security capacity enhancement, and information security behavior. There were gender differences in information security behavior. It has been found that the strengthening of information security has an important influence on information security behavior.

This study investigates proper solution available for flexibly management pointing out reality a lack of understanding and interest for executing security management while importance of firm security management gets bigger. Accordingly, this study suggests 4 exogenous variables such as organizational commitment, experience of security risks, perceived benefits, partner interdependence as factors of having influence upon development and implementation in security management. It suggests IT volatility as moderating variable, which will intensify between development and implementation. The research model was tested by using Structural Equation Modeling, via Amos 19.0 analysis on a sample collected from 209 firms. As a result, the remaining variables except partner interdependence showed statistically positive influence. The implications of the findings suggest a new theoretical framework of the security management and offers important solutions for the practical application guidelines.

As social problems related to the digital divide are increasing, the elderly are facing various problems as an information alienated group. In particular, there is a need to strengthen the ability to critically understand and accept information. In this study, using the 2020 media panel survey, the effects of digital literacy in the elderly on critical thinking disposition of information were analyzed, focusing on the moderating effect of need for cognition. As a results of the analysis, it was confirmed that the operational and the information skill had a positive effect on the critical thinking disposition of information. Also, as a result of analyzing the moderating effect of NFC(Need for Cognition), it was found that NFC strengthens the influence of operational skill and reduces the influence of information skill. This suggests that the digital literacy education for the elderly needs to change from strengthening accessibility to improving information judgment.

In this study, based on S-O-R theory and social identity theory, we aim to explore how cause-related marketing influences consumer purchase intention. Analyzing 306 questionnaire responses, our findings indicate that cause-related marketing significantly impacts perceived value, cognitive identification, and purchasing behavior. Both perceived value and cognitive identification further facilitate purchasing. Acting as mediators between cause-related marketing and consumer purchase intention, perceived value and cognitive identification strengthen the connection between marketing behavior and purchase intention. Additionally, enhanced perceived value contributes to consumers' cognitive identification with marketing activities. These findings provide crucial theoretical insights and practical implications for business marketing.
