Recently, the many anti- stigma program use the 'mental illness is an illness like any other biogenetic illness' approach. This is based on Weiner's attribution affection theory. However, mental illness is difficult to be applied with attribution affection premise because attributing no blame for mental problem(biogenetic cause) leads to fear and dangerousness. We proposed a modified attribution affection model that explains the relations between biogenetic causal belief and social distance. Our model assumed that attributing personal responsibility for each mental problem leads to anger and social distance. And attributing no blame for mental problem(biogenetic causal belief) reinforces perception of dangerousness and social distance. This study presented typical vignettes of schizophrenia, depression and alcoholism according to the diagnosis criteria of DSM-IV to 768 university students randomly. Path analysis was used to test modified attribution affection model. The major findings are, First our original model modified partially for fit index. So final model assumed that i) The more respondents believed personal responsibility, the more anger, the more anger reaction corresponded closely with more social distance. ii) biogenetic causal beliefs leads to a worsening of dangerousness and perception of dangerousness leads to a increasing of social distance. Second, multi-group analysis was conducted to verify how a modified attribution affection model would be applicable to three groups. The result is that there is no difference among three groups. Finding from this research suggest to change anti-stigma program that use medical model.

As the eBook market grows fast recently, various eBook viewer solutions such as hardware viewers and software readers came out to the market. We can, however, hardly find mobile eBook interfaces for the reading disabled people who have difficulties in reading for their visual impairment or learning disabilities, or dyslexia. An eBook viewer interfaces for the reading disabled people should be carefully and distinctively designed because the reading disabled people cannot use normal versions of eBook viewer. In this paper, we suggest a eBook viewer interface model to make the reading disabled people read eBooks easily. Depending on the type of the reading disabled people: the full blind, the almost blind, the just learning disabled, our model provides an adaptive interface to make them read eBooks effectively. In addition, unlike the existing simple audio books, we also support annotation systems to make the reading disabled people interact with eBook viewer. To show the effectiveness of our model, we implemented an eBook viewer prototype on an android-based mobile device. We are sure that our model and implementation can make the reading disabled people, who is 10% of all the domestic people, read eBooks effectively.

Under the Welfare of Disabled Persons Act, the national qualification test allows disabled and non-disabled people to appear for the same test, and the deaf do not fall under the reason for disqualification from obtaining a license for power-driven water leisure crafts; therefore, even the deaf can obtain a license. During a risk of collision at sea, ships and power-driven water leisure crafts notify the other party of dangerous signals such as maneuvering and warning signals through sound signals to prevent accidents that may occur because surrounding ships are not visible. However, a method is required to prevent marine accidents that may occur when the deaf cannot hear danger signals through sounds from nearby ships or power-driven water leisure crafts during leisure activities owing to hearing impairment. A sound reception system is a device installed on a ship where missionary work is completely deposed to display the amplification of external sounds and the direction of sound reception on the screen. Through visual display of sound signals such as dangerous signals that cannot be heard owing to hearing impairment, improvement measures were proposed to prevent marine accidents that can occur owing to the inability of the deaf to check sound signals during leisure activities.

급격한 도시화와 산업화는 필연적으로 화석연료의 사용량 증가를 초래하였고 적절한 제어 대책이 마련되지 않는 한 결과적으로 인구가 집중된 도시 지역에서는 각종 대기 오염물질과 함께 환경 대기중의 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds VOCs)의 농도도 직접 혹은 간접적으로 증가하고 있다. VOC는 스모그 형성의 주요 원인물질인 오존의 전구물질일 뿐만 아니라 현재개선이 되지 않고 있는 시정 장애와 관련이 있는 물질이고 최근 수치상의 대기질 개선에도 불구하고 실제 피부로 느껴지게 하는 주요 원인물질이다. (중략)

악안면 형성과정의 이상으로 인한 구조적 결함상태로 정의되어지는 악안면 기형(maxill-ofacial ogtal malformation)은 사고나 기능적(funct-ional) 장애로 인해 후천적으로 생길 수도 있으나 유전적 원인 등으로 인한 선천적 경우도 많다. 특히 후자의 경우에는 여러 증후군과 결합되어 나타나는 수가 많다. 치과의사는 치아이상이나 기능적 이상으로 인한 기형의 치료 및 예방을 담당할 책임이 있으며, 더욱이 새로운 진료실에서 직접 대면할 수 있는 최초의 의사가 될 수 있다는 점에서 특별한 기형외에도 전반적인 증후군에 대한 지식을 갖는 것이 중요하다. 악안면 기형환자에게는 전반적 검사가 필수적이며 방사선 분석, 치아모형 분석 등 다양한 분석이 필요하나, 여기에서는 주로 병력 청취나 시진을 통한 검사에 중점을 두어 서술하고자 한다.

인터넷이 본격적으로 상거래목적으로 사용된 이후로 전자상거래 활성화의 큰 장애요인으로 작용하고 있는 것 중의 하나는 소비자 신뢰라고 할 수 있다. 전자상거래에서는 상품을 보거나 만질수도 없고, 상품을 판매하는 상점의 위치도 알기 어려우며, 인터넷이라는 가상의 공간에서 상품을 판매하고 구매하는 행위가 일어난다. 이런 특성 때문에 소비자 신뢰가 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 소비자 신뢰에 영향을 미치는 선행요인에 대한 이론적 연구 모형을 제시한다.

모바일에서의 TCP 데이터전송은 무선 고유의 특성인 높은 에러율로 인하여 TCP의 성능에 많은 장애를 가져 오고있다. 특히, 셀간 핸드오프 등으로 인해 TCP의 빈번한 혼잡제어가 발생하므로서 대역폭 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 대역폭 저하가 발생하는 것을 억제하기 위하여 모바일 노드가 높은 에러 발생지역에 위치한 경우 시그널링을 이용하여 패킷 전송을 중지시키는 방법으로 핸드오프 영역에서 효율적인 전송이 이루어지도록 함으로써 TCP의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to evaluate difference of somatic symptoms of anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder and domainal association with suicidal idealization, plan, and attempts. Methods : A total of 359 adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder of last one year participated. Participants interviewed with certain sections of Korean version of Composite International Diagnostic interview of CIDI. Sections of interests includes questionnaires regarding somatic symptoms and suicidal idea, plan and attempts of last one year. Results : Chest pain shows more prevalence in major depressive disorder. Symptoms of Headache and loose stool are more prevalent in anxiety disorder. Difficulty in equilibrium and fainting spells are more common somatic complaints of co-diagnosis states of anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. Comparing 3 domains of pain symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms and pseudo-neurological symptoms, pain symptom domains, gastrointestinal symptoms domain shows significant statistic difference between diagnosis. Average somatic symptom numbers of each symptom domains increase through suicidal idealization, plan and attempt, accordingly. Conclusions : Our finding shows some of somatic symptoms are more prevalent at certain diagnosis. Since increasing numbers of somatic complaints of each symptom domains goes with the suicidal idealization to suicidal attempts, proper psychiatric evaluation and consultations are crucial for patients with numerous somatic complaints in non-psychiatric clinical settings.

Objective : Despite the chronic nature and high social costs, individuals with anxiety disorders seldom seek treatment. Thus, education for public awareness and screening for the illness is tremendously important for mental health professionals. This study summaries and presents the results from Anxiety Disorder Screening Program during the Mental Health Exposition held in Seoul in April, 2013. Methods : We analyzed the data from 116 participants who agreed and completed the screening questionnaires during their visits to two-day Anxiety Disorder Screening Program prepared by the Korean Academy of Anxiety Disorder. The questionnaire comprised of modified Mobility inventory for agoraphobia, Contents of worries, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, Life Events Checklist, and Abbreviated Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. Results : Participants demonstrated high rates of anxiety symptoms and possible anxiety disorders. Experience of panic attack was reported by 45%, lifetime and 16% in the past month by respondents. Phobia was reported by 46%. Participants had an average of 3.3 pathological worries and among those, social or interpersonal content was most common (46%). At least one lifetime traumatic event was reported by 64%. By the cut-off scores in the literature, 46% had possible generalized anxiety disorder and 58% possible posttraumatic stress disorder. Conclusion : Our results suggested that many visitors to Anxiety Disorder Screening Program were in fact treatment seeking after experiencing some forms of anxiety symptoms. Further efforts for delivery of medical information and increasing public awareness for anxiety disorders are needed.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the reliability of the Korean language version of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders(RDC/TMD) axis II questionnaire among TMD patients. Methods: The Korean version of the RDC/TMD questionnaire was distributed to 154 TMD patients(31 men, 123 women) who visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital. The test-retest reliability was also assessed among the same subjects with a one- or two-week time interval. The subjects did not receive any form of therapy until the retest administration was completed. Results: The internal consistency reliability of pain intensity, disability score, jaw disability, and psychosocial status were 0.92, 0.94, 0.68, and 0.94, respectively using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the 1st test. Test-retest reliability coefficients of each items of the questionnaire ranged from 0.40 to 0.94 assessed with kappa value, and the intra-class correlation coefficient(ICC) for each subscale ranged from 0.81 to 0.93. Test-retest reliability coefficient of the graded chronic pain(GCP) scale was 0.63. Conclusions: The Korean language version of RDC/TMD axis II questionnaire demonstrated good reliability. It can be used as a valuable instrument for the analyses of the psychosocial aspects of the TMD patients in Korea.
