The purpose of this study was to meta-analyze and compare the effect sizes of socioeconomic status and psychosocial factors on self-rated health among older adults. Also, to examine whether those effect sizes had been affected by certain moderator like gender through meta-regression analysis was attempted. A total of 487 effect sizes computed from 80 studies published in Korea before 2013 were analysed. The results of this research were as follows. Firstly, spousal support had the largest effects, followed by income, educational level, occupation, support of children, assets, non-family support, family support and social activities. Secondly, while the positive effect of non-family support on self-rated health increased for women than men, the positive effect of income decreased. The findings suggest the following; The importance of spousal support should be recognized for later life's health and the health support for those who had been bereaved must come first. Income security policies and non-family support for elderly women must be strengthened.

This study included 198 patients who underwent prospectively electrocardiogram-triggered high-pitch spiral mode(FLASH mode) in cardiac CT for health check: 123 patients who underwent manual exposure control(Group A) and 75 patients who underwent automatic exposure control(Group B). Patients were classified according to BMI grades: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4. Radiation dose, objective and subjective image quality between two groups were compared. In Group B, tube voltage were significantly decreased in all BMI grades. Both $CTDI_{vol}$ and effective dose were significantly reduced in the BMI Grade 1, 3, and 4 whereas they were slightly reduced in the Grade 2(p>0.05), SNR was significantly decreased in the Grade 1 and increased in the Grade 3(p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the Grade 2, 4 between the two groups(p>0.05). CNR was significantly decreased in the Grade 1(p<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the Grade 2, 3, 4 between the two groups(p>0.05). The subjective image quality showed no significant difference in all BMI Grades between the two groups(p>0.05). Automatic exposure control can lead to a significant reduction of radiation exposure dose without degradation of subjective image quality.

Multiview Video Coding contains a macroblock-based illumination compensation tool which can compensate the variations of illuminations according to view or temporal directions. Thanks to illumination compensation tool, the coding efficiency of Multiview Video Coding has been enhanced. However illumination compensation tool also generates additional subjective drawbacks of the blocking artifacts due to macroblock-based compensations of mean values. A deblocking filtering method for Multiview Video Coding which is the same as in H.264/AVC does not consider illumination difference between the illumination compensated blocks, thus it can not effectively eliminate the blocking artifacts. Therefore, this paper analyzes the phenomena of blocking artifacts caused by illumination compensation and proposes a method which can effectively eliminate the blocking artifacts with the minimum changes of the H.264 deblockding filtering method. In the simulation results, it can be easily found the blocking artifacts are clearly eliminated in the subjective comparisons, and the average bit-rate reduction is up to 1.44%.

인간의 정서를 분류하려는 노력은 오래전부터 있어왔다. 시각 및 청각 자극을 사용한 심리생리적 정서연구는 최근에 들어 활발하게 이루어지고 있으나, 촉각 자극을 사용한 정서연구는 찾아보기 힘들다. 본 연구는 피부에 가해지는 다양한 자극에 따라 나타나는 정서와 관련된 뇌파특징을 측정하고자 하는 기초연구이다. 물리적 특성이 다른 다섯가지의 직물자극을 20명의 대학생 피험자(20-25세)에게 무선적으로 제시하였다. 각 자극의 제시시간은 1분이었으며, 자극간 간격은 3분이었다. 각 자극제시후 매자극후 피험자는 제시자극에 대한 느낌을 주관적 정서척도로 평정하였다. 뇌파는 양쪽 귓볼(A1, A2)을 기준전극으로 하여 좌.우반구의 전두엽(F3, F4), 두정엽(P3, P4), 후두엽 (O1, O2)에서 측정되었고, 측정된 뇌파는 FFT방법으로 분석되었다. 각 피험자의 주관적 평가의 결과에 따라 가장 쾌한 자극과 가장 불쾌한 자극이 제시되었을 때 측정한 뇌파의 분석결과를 비교하였다. 쾌자극 제시시의 뇌파는 불쾌자극 제시시보다 slow alpha(8-10Hz)파의 출현량은 적었다. 결론적으로 직물촉각자극에 의해 유발되는 심리적 반응에 특정적인 뇌파반응이 존재하며, 이는 촉각에 의해 유발되는 주관적인 쾌.불쾌정서를 객관적으로 측정하기 위한 지표로서 뇌파특징을 사용할수 있음을 의미한다.

This study investigated the key factors affecting online relational intimacy in the context of SNS. Based on the use and gratification theory, self-presentation, relationship formation and information searching were identified as the main needs of SNS usage. These needs were expected to influence online relational intimacy through user satisfaction, subjective well-being, and disclosing information behaviors. The theoretical framework was validated by a longitudinal method. Hypotheses were tested by using the partial least squares to data from 199 Facebook users. Self-presentation and information searching had a significant impact on both user satisfaction and subjective well-being. However, relationship formation did not significantly affect both user satisfaction and subjective well-being. User satisfaction had a significant direct effect only on online relational intimacy. Subjective well-beings played a significant role in enhancing both disclosing information behaviors and online relational intimacy. Finally, it has been found that disclosing information behaviors are a key factor in enhancing online relational intimacy. The results of this study are expected to provide academic and practical implications for the key antecedents of online relational intimacy.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with the self-rated health status of the elderly and whether these factors were different from younger adults. Methods: An interview survey was conducted on non-institutionalized adults in Wonju City, Korea. Determinants of self-rated health status were identified and compared between individuals aged 19 to 64 years and those aged 65 years and over, using an ordered logistic regression conducted separately on these two groups. Participants were 1,685 younger adults and 188 elderly people. Self-rated health status was measured along a continuous scale from 0 to 100 (0 for the worst and 100 for the best they could imagine) and then binned into 11 categories. Results: Self-rated health status of the elderly in Wonju was associated with household income, education, bereavement, adequate sleep, daily and social life being affected by poor health status, mobility, and anxiety and depression. Household income, adequate sleep, and participation in social activities were significant only in the elderly, while some factors associated with the self-rated health status of younger adults, such as rural dwelling, regular exercise, living alone, and skipping breakfast were not significant in the elderly. Conclusion: In order to improve the health of the elderly in Wonju City, it would be necessary to develop programs addressing those specific needs of the elderly and to integrate them effectively in the Healthy City projects.

최대허용하중을 결정에는 여러가지 방법이 있지만, 그 중 특히 심리육체적 방법은 빈도수가 적고 반복적인 들기 작업을 평가하기 위해서 널리 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 이 방법은 작업방법의 조합이 많아질수록 최대허용하중을 결정하는데 걸리는 시간은 커지게 된다. 이를 단축시키 위한 한가지 대안인 직접추정법은 일종의 비율 척도 (ratio scale)를 사용하여 자극과 주관적 평가를 연결시키는 방법으로서 넓은 범위의 자극에 대한 인간의 반응을 자극에 짧게 노출되더라도 정확 하게 예측할 수 있는 정확한 수단인 것으로 보여진 바 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 네 가지의 들기 빈도 (분당 1, 2, 4, 6 회)와 두 가지의 수직 이동거리 (Floor to Knuckle, Knuclke to Shoulder)로 구성되는 8가지의 대칭적인 (symmetrical)들기 작업에 대하여 심리육체적 방법과 기준작업을 달리한 직접추정법을 사용하여 최대허용하중을 결정하고 그 값들을 비교, 분석하였으며 이를 근거로 직접 추정법의 기준변화에 따른 추정능력 정도에 대하여 검토하였다.

본 논문에서는 영상의 정보량에 따라 영상을 분할하고 이를 바탕으로 영상을 계층적으로 부호화하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 영상을 분할하기 위해서 4진나무구조를 사용하는데, 기존의 방법에서는 각 구획의 평균값을 대표값으로 사용하여 구획의 복잡도를 판단하고 영상을 복원하는 반면, 본 논문에서는 해당 구획의 모서리 화소값을 대표값으로 사용하는 개선된 알고리듬을 사용한다. 분할된 구획의 대표값으로 모서리화소를 사용함으로써 여러 해상도에서 계층적인 영상표현이 가능하다. 제안방법으로 표현된 영상은 복잡한 신호처리과정이 필요 없으며, 부가적인 후처리기법을 사용하지 않고도 복원 영상에서는 구획화현상이 사라지므로 주관적으로 자연스러우면서도 객관적으로도 우수한 성능을 보인다.
