Thought-action fusion (TAF) is a tendency to blindly assume causal relations between their thoughts and external reality. On the other hand, cognitive fusion (CF) is a tendency to take internal experiences, such as thoughts and feeling, literally rather than view them as random events. However, these two terms are often confusedly used and, in fact, have conceptual overlaps. Therefore, this study aimed to identify their distinctive features through a comprehensive review of the definition, origin, measurements and clinical implications especially on the understanding of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The cognitive-behavioral concept of TAF is confined to erroneous and maladaptive beliefs about the connection between thoughts and behaviors. The CF is a broader construct that entails taking thoughts and feelings as facts and engaging or struggling with them such that the quality of life is lowered. They also have different theoretical backgrounds, developing processes and therapeutic approaches. From the perspective of the obsessive-compulsive disorder, both concepts have been studied as mid-structures for this illness. Recently, the effectiveness of psychological therapies related to these concepts such as defusion therapy has been tested. However, it is yet still in its infancy. In the future, complementary advances between the two concepts with studies on biological substrates is needed.

This study aims to identify the image types of secondary school students' perception about the talented person in convergence and to find the differences in drawing images of the talented person in convergence among the students who have taken STEAM class and the ones who haven't. One hundred and eighty seven students in middle and high schools located in the southern part of South Korea participated in this study and they were asked to draw a picture of the talented person in convergence with a brief explanation. Based on students' pictures, researchers categorized their perception about convergence and talented person in convergence by using an inductive method. The result indicated that secondary school students' perceptions were categorized into convergence as individual cognitive processing and collective cognitive processing and convergence as outcomes. The image of the convergence in a talented person leaning toward individual cognitive processing was divided into the following seven types: idea banker type, various talented celebrity type, multi-tasking master type, multi-talented career type, active problem-solver type, creative developer type, and unrealistic ideal man type. Another image of collective cognitive processing was split into expert group type and interactive-mates group type. The other image was transformer type which is the subcategory of convergence as outcomes. From this study, it can be suggested that secondary school students express the various images of the talented person in convergence depending on experiencing STEAM or not.

Random access protocol takes advantage of constructing a decentralized wireless network due to its intrinsic spectrum sensing capability. Such technical feature goes well with cognitive radio networks consisting of heterogeneous wireless systems, in which a centralized control between heterogeneous wireless systems is hard to be implemented. Motivated by the decentralized feature of the random access, we adopt the random access protocol in cognitive radio networks, and evaluate the performance of a CSMA-based cognitive radio network.

In this study, the effect of VR exposure programs integrated with web-based cognitive restructuring education on reducing social anxiety was confirmed. The experimental group (n=12) received a 10~15 minute session of web-based cognitive intervention and a 20-minute session of virtual reality exposure therapy. The comparison group (n=15) received a 10~15 minute session of web-based speech education and a 20-minute session of virtual reality exposure therapy. After 4 weeks, the experimental group had an increase in positive interpretation bias, a decrease in negative interpretation bias, and a decreased level of social anxiety. These results suggest that the combination of self-help form of web-based cognitive intervention in the treatment of social anxiety disorder can improve the therapeutic effect of VRET.

For the development of school meals, this study was designed to identify the status of middle school students who eat eco-friendly school meals with a view to converging on their awareness, interest, and operational satisfaction. The results of the survey of 468 K middle school students in Gwangju were all based on a significant level of p.Validated at 05. There were achievements in the recognition of students' awareness, interest, and operational satisfaction contributing to the improvement of school meal satisfaction, but there were also limitations in the operation of eco-friendly school meals, such as various family composition and budget expansion, and not the entire school. If the disclosure of data on future results is expanded to the whole, it could be used as a valuable resource for improving school meal satisfaction and developing school meals.

Research on the development and effectiveness of internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy with a trauma focus (iCBT-T) has been actively conducted in Western societies, but these studies have just begun in Korea. The purpose of this study was to suggest practical considerations to developing and managing the iCBT-T program. After reviewing previous studies on iCBT-T, this author suggested a model of convergence and collaboration between mental health knowledge and information and communication technologies (ICT) to develop the iCBT-T program. This article outlines practical considerations, including focus and target groups of iCBT-T, intervention types of iCBT-T (open access vs. guided), number of sessions, ethical issues, professional support, and degree of user involvement. Methods to complement the limitations of internet as a medium are also proposed in the iCBT-T program. The convergence model of CBT-T and ICT is expected to promote the development of programs that can contribute to improving the mental health of users who experience traumatic events.

ICT 기술이 타 산업과의 융합으로 새로운 산업과 일자리를 창출하는 창조경제 실현의 핵심수단으로 재조명되면서, 국가의 산업 경쟁력 제고와 전반적인 사회문제 해결은 물론 저출산 고령화, 산업 기술 패러다임 변화 등에 따른 장기적인 국가적 수요를 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 인지되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 ICT 기반의 융합 R&D형태를 갖는 창조융합분야의 R&D역할과 중요성은 더욱 커지고 있는 실정이다. 본 고에서는 이와 관련된 미래창조과학부의 2015년 창조융합분야의 R&D 추진방향을 소개하고자 한다.

학습에 대한 적극적인 참여는 학업에서 중요한 행동이며 높은 학업 참여는 성공적인 학업성취와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 학업 참여는 학자들의 관점에 따라 행동적 참여, 정서적 참여, 인지적 참여로 구분된다. 행동적 참여는 학생들이 실제 학습활동과 과제 수행에 어떻게 참여하는가로 정의한다. 그러나 온라인 학습 환경에서는 학생들의 학습활동을 평가하는 데 어려움이 존재하여 관련된 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상 분석을 이용한 양방향 Convolutional LSTM 모델을 기반으로 온라인 수업 상에서 학습활동 중 하나인 손들기 행동을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법으로 학습활동 중 하나인 손들기 행동의 인식 정확도는 88%이다.

The aging population and the advancement of science and technology are transforming the healthcare industry to focus on health management for the prevention of diseases. The U-health and remote healthcare services have not yet achieved the social agreement in the nation; however, these have been extensively used in the global scale. The innovation of user experience through cognitive computing are expected to increase the health effects of consumers, by converging with healthcare information services. This study suggests the conceptual model of healthcare information service converged with cognitive computing. Then, the acceptance factors for consumers have been investigated. For this purpose, reliability and validity analysis have been conducted using an online survey. The path analysis was performed to verify the hypotheses and moderating effect based upon the gender, by using structural equation modeling.

The convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting is representative of many innovative technologies in the digital environment. It has recently been emphasized as an alternative solution to overcome the on-going saturation of the telecommunications and broadcasting markets. Despite this effort, however, growth of the market and its related services cannot reach prior expectations due to lack of understanding on the real user-end. Telecommunications technology used to serve its instrumental purpose and broadcasting services usually support entertainment functions which in themselves have an inherent value. Our research questions what factors influence users' attitude and decision-making when it comes to using telecommunications-broadcasting convergence services. The research model of this paper proposes intrinsic motivator focusing on hedonic value, extrinsic motivator having utilitarian values, and perceived control as internal and external conditions. To verify our model empirically, we selected the DMB technology which is a good example of distinctive telecommunications-broadcasting convergence service.
