Todays, many young people suffer from noise-induced hearing loss by using wearable hearing devices, such as Bluetooth headset. This paper present hearing loss reduction and more natural volumn control algorithms considering individual hearing characteristics and threshold of feeling for Bluetooth headset. Experimental results using CSR Bluetooth headset example design board(DEV-PC-1645) show that individuals maybe able to perceive without the inconvenience at the less sound intensity and the more sensitive frequency bands. As a result, we may prevent hearing loss to reduce excessive sound energy in each frequency bands.

Although many studies have been conducted on techniques and effects that can be applied to forest meditation in domestic forest healing meditation research, there has been little research on the space where forest meditation takes place. Nevertheless, a meditation space is not just a place concept but a forest environment element responsible for the healing function of a forest, i.e., a place containing healing factors, and can be an essential clue to the healing mechanism. Therefore, to determine whether a healing forest meditation space is suitable for meditation, this study selected the attribute items of the meditation space using the Delphi expert survey and then surveyed the user satisfaction of the healing forest meditation space using the IPA (Importance Performance Analysis) technique. The survey was conducted from August to November 2022, targeting 315 adults who used the forest meditation space at the National Center for Forest Therapy, the Saneum Healing Forest, and the Jathyanggi Pureunsup Arboretum in Gyeonggi Province. The result of the IPA analysis showed the average satisfaction with the forest meditation space was relatively high at 4.33 points on a 5-point Likert scale (4.33 points for the National Center for Forest Therapy, 4.34 points for the Saneum Healing Forest, and 4.37 points for the Jathyanggi Pureunsup Arboretum), indicating that the three healing forest meditation spaces were suitable for forest meditation. Satisfaction with the "Sounds of nature" was high in all three forests. On the other hand, all three forests showed a relatively low satisfaction with "Quietness," indicating it to be a priority problem to be addressed. Also, an open-ended questionnaire survey showed that the mediation space's natural elements, such as natural sounds, scenery, air, forest spaces, and scents, had a higher positive impact on meditation satisfaction than artificial elements, such as facilities. Therefore, it is essential to secure sound resources such as the sound of water and birds around the meditation space, and it is also necessary to consider ways to create a meditation forest in an independent area to avoid encounters with visitors and allow only participants in the forest healing meditation program to enter to increase satisfaction with forest meditation.

산업발전으로 인한 유해 독성물질의 대량방출은 이미 자연계에 중대한 위협요소가 되고 있다. 특히 중금속은 산업폐기물의 형태로 양산되며 자연 생태계의 자정능력으로도 쉽게 제거되지 않을뿐 아니라 생체내 축적성이 강하여 사람과 동물의 건강에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 또한 현대 사회 발전을 주도하는 산업형태가 대부분 공해배출형이며, 문명의 고도화에 따른 에너지 다소비형의 생활형태는 자연환경을 황폐화시키고 있어 삶의 질 향상과 공중보건을 위해서 인위적인 해결방안이 마련되어야 할 중대한 시점에 와 있다. 가축의 생산기반의 축산환경은 축산물의 안전성과 직결되므로 축산현장에서 중금속 등 유해물질의 안전관리를 위하여 고도의 전문성을 갖춘 수의사의 적극적인 계도와 홍보가 절실히 요구된다.

풀밭을 헤집고 기어가는 길은 푸른 자연의 생기를 먹고 자란 뱀처럼 제법 그럴싸하게 구불거리며 숲을 헤치고 지나간다. 서쪽으로 향한 길은 호수를 에돌아 숲으로 들어가더니 모습을 감추었다. 무주 덕유산에서는 이처럼 아름다운 풍경을 배경으로 구름위에서의 산책을 즐길 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 1,000m 평원에 펼쳐진 식탁에서 여름 별미인 도토리묵을 맛보는 즐거움까지 만끽할 수 있다. 그리고 덕유산이 품은 구천동 푸른계곡에 온 몸을 담그면 아이들 웃음소리가 계곡 가득 울려 퍼진다.

The Aim of the this paper is to figure out impetus of the Naeseo Traditional Folk art Conservation Association. This Preservation Society derived from Hogaeri farmers' band. Through aging and hollowing out Hogaeri farmers' band got into a period of stagnation. In order to overcome slump villager and people of a township organized a conservation society in 1994. Members restored and directed folk song which from age to age for performance. are designated as cultural asset in 2017. Sutguldeong song is only song in inland area. This song are worthy of notice in . which is consist of various agricultural work songs experienced two changes. Rice-planting songs are characteristic. Especially, Executive playing a central role harden foundation of the Preservation Society. The mainspring of activity is the sense of responsibility. Preservation Society laying emphasis on recruiting new members. Preservation Society is planning to develop curriculum for Jurisdiction elementary and middle school students. This Preservation Society is made up of First generation members and Second generation members. First generation members who are born and bred in Hogaeri have been good friends both in joy and in sorrow Early days of Preservation Society. So, They has a strong family bond. In order to induce membership Members are practicing Nongak, popular folk songs, dancing program. Second generation members are not conversant with a folk song. Nonetheless They have a strong mind on a member line.

In this paper, we propose diffraction-based sound control method to improve sound immersion in a virtual environment. The proposed technique can express the wave and flow of sound in a physical environment and a pattern similar to diffraction in real-time. Our approach determines whether there is an obstacle from the location of the sound source and then calculates the position of the new sound reflected and diffracted by the obstacle. Based on ray tracing, it determines whether or not it collides with an obstacle, and predicts the sound level of the agent behind the obstacle by using the vector reflected and refraction by the collision. In this process, the sound attenuation according to the distance/material is modeled by attenuating the size of the sound according to the number of reflected/refracted rays. As a result, the diffraction pattern expressed in the physics-based approach was expressed in real time, and it shows that the diffraction pattern also changes as the position of the obstacle is changed, thereby showing the result of naturally spreading the size of the sound. The proposed method restores the diffusion and diffraction characteristics of sound expressed in real life almost similarly.

This study is intended to obtain a guideline for creating a therapeutic garden soundscape in a psychiatric hospital by analyzing the psychological and physiological effects of auditory components on mental patients. The subjects were 27 inpatients at a psychiatric institute located in Jeollabuk-do. They were recommended by their doctors and had been diagnosed with mild cases of schizophrenia. The survey was carried out in October 2011. With regard to the study, the subjects listened to single sounds(the sound of flowing water, birdsong, wind chimes and music) and 4 sounds composed of some of these, and then Electroencephalography(EEG) and psychological effects were measured. The moving water sound was perceived as pleasing and revitalizing and the birdsong as sonorous and delightful. When designing a healing garden in a psychiatric hospital, the vitality of sound should be considered. In comparison to other single sounds, water sounds were highly preferred and had greater effects on psychological vitality. Music sounds had a significant effect on enhancing tranquility while water sounds affected on both psychological vitality and tranquillity. When comparing single sounds with combined sounds, single sounds such as running water for vitality and music for tranquility had a greater psychological effect than combined sounds. In terms of combined sound preferences, the combination of water and bird sounds had higher preference rates. Generally, combined sounds including water tended to have higher preference rates. The physiological effects of single sounds showed that music had a greater therapeutic effect than natural sounds such as water sounds and birdsong in promoting tranquility. As for combined sounds adopted to enhance physiological tranquility, it is most appropriate to combine music and birdsong or music and water sounds. However, a single music sound is more effective than combined sounds. Overall, analyses of both psychological and physiological reactions showed music and water sounds to be most calming while water sounds promoted the greatest vitality.

얼마전까지만 해도 우리나라는 조용한 아침의 나라, 동방예의지국이라 예찬되어 왔으며, 아름다운 산하는 금수강산이라 불리어져 왔다. 비록 창호지 한장으로 바른 창문이었지만 소음공해같은 것은 결코 느끼지 않고 살았으며, 창호지를 통하여 전달되는 첫새벽의 닭우는 소리는 소음이라기 보다는 장부의 단잠을 깨워주는 자연음으로서의 낭만이 있었다. 그러나, 이젠 사정이 크게 달라졌다. 지난 40년 동안에 우리나라 경제가 고도성장을 이룩함으로써 우선 국민생활은 풍요로와 겼으나 대소 공장과 사업장 및 교통혼잡으로부터 The아져 나온 각종 오염물질이 엄청나게 증가하여 호흡하는 공기와 마시는 물, 곡물이 자양되는 토양은 병들어 가고 있을 뿐만 아니라 옛날에는 생각지도 못했던 온갖 소음ㆍ진통으로 우리는 포장되어 살아가고 있다 해도 과언이 아니다. $\ulcorner$소음진동규제법$\lrcorner$에 소음이란 기계ㆍ기구ㆍ시설 기타 물체의 사용으로 인하여 발생한 강한 소리라 정의하고 있다. 말할 것도 없이 이는 인위적으로 발생되는 시끄러운 소리를 의미하며, 이러한 소음을 다소나마 피하기 위해 창문을 알루미늄샤시 유리창으로 바꾸어 커텐을 치고, 출입문을 두중한 원목 도어로 교체 해도 다양해지고 강해진 소음공해를 막기는 어려운 세상이 되 었다. 이로 인하여 우리는 생활의 안정을 위협 받게 되었으며, 학업과 생업에 크고 작은 장해를 받으며 살아가고 있는 것이 오늘의 현실이다. 정부ㆍ기업ㆍ국민 각자가 쾌적한 환경을 보전하고자 하는 확고한 의지와 배경이 없다면 후손들에게도 대물림 될 것임에 틀림없으며, 특히 이러한 현상은 도회지에서 더욱 심화될 것임은 명약관화하다 하겠다.

This paper presents a study on acoustic characteristics and sound generation mechanism of Cryptotympana atratas' songs which cause noise problems in summer days. The waveforms & FFT of Cryptotympana atratas' songs in nature were analyzed, and the actions of tymbals were visualized by the high speed camera. In order to know resonance frequency of the abdominal cavity of male Cryptotympana atrata, the sine sweep test was done. It was observed from the experimental results that Cryptotympana atrata's two tymbals act asymmetrically with respect to time & shape, and make a variety of frequencies every time it vibrates. It was also shown that Cryptotympana atratas' have a structure that cause resonances sounds only in a $7{\sim}7.5 kHz$ bandwidth.
