In this paper, we propose the NAVER, a general framework for multipurpose virtual environments, and introduce the case study of evaluating car prototypes using cave-like systems. As a framework to implement variant applications in virtual environment, NAVER is extensible, reconfigurable and scalable. NAVER consists of several external modules (Render Server, Control Server and Device Server), which communicate each other to share states and user-provided data and to perform their own functions. NAVER supports its own scripting language based on XML which allows a user to define variant interactions between objects in virtual environments as well as describe the scenario of an application. We used NAVER to implement the system for evaluating car prototyes in a CAVE-like virtual environment system. The CAVE-like virtual environment system at KIST consists three side screens and a floor screen (each of them is a square with side of 2.2m), four CRT projectors displays stereoscopic images to the screens, a haptic armmaster, and a 5.1 channel sound system. The system can provide a sense of reality by displaying auditory and tactile senses as well as visual images at the same time. We evaluate car prototypes in a CAVE-like system in which a user can observe, touch and manipulate the virtual installation of car interior.

In this paper I will try to show how Wittgenstein criticized Frege's theory of meaning. Frege's theory of meaning can be compressed as sense-reference theory. Frege distinguishes between sense and reference on all the linguistic expressions. In particular, he regards that a sentence has sense and reference. This distinction was raised from, so to speak, the problem of identity sentences. Wittgenstein's "fundamental thought" of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is the key of his direct criticism of Frege's sense-reference theory. That is, it is an attack on Frege's thought that the reference of a sentence is a truth value and truth values are "objects themselves" (in Frege's meaning). According to Wittgenstein, such an object does not exist and according to his picture theory, the function of a name and that of a proposition are fundamentally different. By the way, Frege can reply justly to this criticism that it is insufficient. In short, Frege's 'sense' and 'reference' etc, are the technical terms. Hence Wittgenstein's decisive criticism of Frege's theory consists in accusing his theory of logical flaws. There is an another route to the sense and reference of a sentence which Frege introduces. In discourses of judgement stroke and content stroke in his Begriffsshrift and in those of horizontal stroke since his "Function and Concept", Frege deals with the sense and reference of a sentence. Wittgenstein criticize that the sense of a complex sentence such as ~p would by no means be determined by Frege's determination.

This was to investigate how the slow learners who specially belonged to low-SES, or North Korean defectors showed their errors in mathematical learning. To conduct the study, two groups for each minority group participated in the study volunteerly during the Winter vacation, in 2011. Based on the preliminary interviews, a total of 15 units were given, focusing on building mathematical basic concepts. As results, they had some errors in common. They both were in lack of understanding of the terminologies and not able to apply the meanings of definitions and theorems to a problem. Because of uncertainty of basic knowledge of mathematics, they easily lost their focus and were apt to make a mistake. Also, they showed clear differences. North Korean defectors were not accustomed to using or understanding the meanings of Chines or English in Korean words in expressing, writing mathematical terminologies and reading data on the context. Technical errors, and misinterpreted errors were found. However, students from the low SES showed that they were familiar with mathematical words and terminologies, but their errors mostly belonged to carelessness because of the lack of mastering mathematical concepts.

This paper has a purpose to find out the important points about linguistic factors suited to the assessment purpose and mathematics teaching/learning that a word-problem sentence has to possess. We also examine the degree of understanding of sentence and the perceptive/emotional reactions of students toward two different kinds of word-problem sentences that have same mathematical contents, but different linguistic structures. The objects of this thesis are 124 students from the third to sixth grade in an elementary school. We execute assessment of simple-sentence-word-problem and complex-sentence-word-problem that have same mathematical contexts, but different linguistic structures. Then we have compared and examined their own process of solving the two types word-problems and we make up questionnaire and have an interview with them. The conclusions are as followings: First, simple-sentence-word-problem is more successful to suggest an information for solving a problem than complex one. Second, it is hard to find the strategy for solving a problem in complex-sentence-word-problem than simple one. Third, students think that suggested information and mathematical knowledge are different according to the linguistic structure in the process of perceiving the information after reading a word-problem. Fourth, in spite of same sentence type, the negative mental reaction is showed greatly to complex-sentence-word-problem even before solving a problem.

Melody is defined as adding spatial dimension to the rhythm which is temporal concept. Being able to understand melodic pattern and to reproduce the pattern also requires cognitive skills. Since 1980, there has been much research on the relationship between academic skills and music cognitive skills, and how to transfer the skills learned in music work to the academic learning. The study purported to examine various research outcomes dealing with the correlational and causal relationships between musical and academic skills. The two dominating theories explaining the connection between two skills ares are "neural theory" and "near transfer theory." The theories focus mainly on the transference of spatial and temporal reasoning which are reinforced in the musical learning. The study reviewed the existing meta-analysis studies, which provided evidence for positive correlation between academic and musical skills, and significance of musical learning in academic skills. The study further examined specific skills area that musical learning is correlated, such as mathematics and reading. The research stated that among many mathematical concepts, proportional topics have the strongest correlation with musical skills. Also with reading, temporal processing also has strong relationship with auditory skills and motor skills, and further affect language and literacy ability. The study suggest that skills learned in the musical work can be transferred to other areas of learning and structured music activities may be every efficient for children for facilitating academic concepts.

The purpose of this study is to investigate daily lives of the intellectually disabled living in residential facilities. The daily time use method that monitors and records 24 hours of the subject was used for the analysis of daily lives of the institutionalized disabled and verbal interaction patterns within each facility. In particular, the analysis focused on 'frequency of activities' and 'lives', with the method of time budget. Based on the activity category table of the 2004 nationwide Time Use Survey, the analysis aimed to identify differences and similarities between the non-disabled and the disabled in terms of daily time use. The interaction pattern analysis method on grounds of the Flanders Category system(1963) indicates the level, the type, and the full details of interaction between the institutionalized disabled and the living rehabilitation teachers. This study is all the more significant in that it monitored the daily lives of the institutionalized disabled for the first time to allow in-depth understanding about the daily lives of the disabled; analyzed interaction patterns between the institutionalized disabled and living rehabilitation teachers; applied time budget study method, a frequently used one in adjacent fields, and therefore should serve as a valuable source material for future studies.

역량(capacity)이란 진술된 목표를 수행할 수 있는 능력을 의미하므로, 목표란 그 목표를 성취하기 위해서 요구되는 역량의 구체적 요소, 양, 질, 그리고 역량의 소재를 결정한다. 건강증진이란 문제를 파악하고 해결하기 위한, 그리고 조직이나 사람들이 그들의 목표를 성취하기 위한 응용과학으로 발전되어 왔다. 문제를 분석하고, 문제의 원인이나 결정요인들을 파악하고, 그리고 해결책을 제시하고 이를 실행하는데 있어 효과적인 방법론이 중요하다는 점도 또한 밝혀졌다. 그러므로 효과적인 건강증진의 토대가 되는 방법론은 건강을 증진을 위한 역량으로 정의될 수 있을 것이다. 목표는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 평균 기대수명을 향상시키는데 요구되는 능력은 생물학적인 그리고 행동적 건강위험을 감소시키는데 필요한 능력과는 다르다. 그리고 질병의 발생을 예방하고, 또는 상해를 예방하거나 모든 사람들이 좋은 건강상태를 얻고 유지하는데 동등한 기회를 갖는 환경을 조성하는 능력도 다른 특성을 지닌다. 방콕헌장은 현 단계의 건강증진을 위하여 건강에 대한 사회적 결정요인에 대한 해결책과 더불어 건강에 도움이 되는 사회적, 경제적, 그리고 물리적 환경을 조성하여 건강형평성을 달성하고자 하는 목표를 설정하고 있다. 지난 30년간 건강증진을 위한 역량에 대하여 많은 것들을 배울 수 있었다. 이러한 역량을 기르고 확대하는 것이 미래를 위한 도전과제가 되며, 비록 우리가 성취한 것이 많지는 않을지라도, 더 많은 것들이 필요하다는 점은 명백해졌다. 우리는 좀 더 야심 찬 목적을 가져야 하며, 이러한 목적달성을 위하려 좀더 의욕적인 노력을 해야 할 것이다. 전문분야로서 건강증진은 다른 사람들에 의하여 발생된 문제에 대한 대책이나 반응에만 중점을 둔 이방인으로서의 역할을 해왔다. 그러나 우리가 도전해야 할 과제는 좀 더 새롭고, 더욱 야심 찬 활동계획을 설정하고 우리가 건강해지고 건강을 유지하는데 필요한 생활환경, 작업환경, 여가환경, 영적 환경을 모든 사람들에게 제공할 수 있는 가족, 지역사회, 그리고 국가가 있는 세계를 만드는 우리사회의 능력들을 신장하는 것이다. 방콕 헌장은 건강증진을 위한 새로운 일련의 목표들을 제시하고 있다. 이제 이러한 목표를 성취할 수 있도록 역량을 기르는 것은 우리의 책임이 되었다. 이는 원하는 활동수준을 달성하기 위한 역량을 조율하고 확장시키는 것을 의미할 것이다. 구체적으로 기존의 건강증진효과성에 관한 증거들을 좀더 큰 규모의 사업으로 확대시키는 것, 공공정책을 개발하고 건강증진 상태를 평가하는 데 다양한 지역사회의 참여를 촉진시키는 능력, 언어, 인종, 성, 종교, 장애 등과 관련된 건강형평성의 문제를 파악하고 제거하는 노력, 그리고 정책결정과 인구집단의 건강과의 관련성에 대한 증거수집, 국가와 지역차원에서 사회적 의사결정 과정에의 적극적 참여, 다른 부문과의 건강증진을 위한 협력 등이 포함된다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 방콕헌장을 분석함으로써 이러한 역량이란 무엇인가에 대한 본인의 의견을 제시하였다. 이러한 아이디어는 토론과 논쟁을 위하여 제시된 것이다. 명백한 것은 건강증진을 위한 역량은 전략이나 기술적인 능력 뿐 만이 아니라 정치적 능력이나 개인적인 능력도 포함된다는 점이다. 가치와 증거들이 정책이나 권력과 함께 결합되어야하며, 정치적인 논쟁 속에서 연마되어야 한다. 우리세계의 미래는 역량에 의존하기 때문이다.

The representative area among the ones whose cost increases as the integration ratio increases is the test area. As the relative cost of hardware decreases, the BIST method has been focued on as the future-oriented test method. The biggest drawback of it is the increasing test time to obtain the acceptable fault coverage. This paper proposed a BIST implementation method to reduce the test times. This method uses an input grouping and test point insertion method, in which the definition of test point is different from the previous one. That is, the test points are defined on the basis of the internal nodes which are the reference points of the input grouping and are merging points of the grouped signals. The main algorithms in the proposed method were implemented with C-language, and various circuits were used to apply the proposed method for experiment. The results showed that the test time could be reduced to at most $1/2^{40}$ of the pseudo-random pattern case and the fault coverage were also increased compared with the conventional BIST method. The relative hardware overhead of the proposed method to the circuit under test decreases as th e size of the circuit to be tested increases, and the delay overhead by the BIST utility is negligible compared to that of the original circuit. That means, the proposed method can be applied efficiently to large VLSI circuits.

Organic solvents are known toxic effects like vertigo, behavioral obstacle, distracting, and peripheral neuropathy in neuron areas. However, there have been few studies how neurotoxic solvents-exposed workers are affected by the cognitive load of preceding working memory tasks. Therefore, we used fMRI as to measure the neural correlates of working memory impairment in occupational workers who had from chronic exposure to organic solvent. Twenty-nine solvent-exposed workers were included in this study. Each participant concluded the verbal N-back tasks (1- and 2-back) during the fMRI acquisition. Within-group analyses showed fronto-parietal networks were active in each condition. Direct comparisons between 1- and 2-back showed higher activation during the 2-back than 1-back. We found that increased activation of these regions at lower task demand is associated with increased cost of implementing.
