Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the disease severity of children suffering from gastroenteritis using different scales. The results are compared and subsequently classified on the basis of the type of virus causing the disease in order to investigate the differences in clinical characteristics and disease severity according to pathogen. Method: This study was conducted prospectively with patients under 5 years of age diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis and hospitalized at 9 medical institutions in 8 regions across the Republic of Korea. Disease severity was evaluated using the Vesikari Scale, the Clark Scale, and the modified Flores Scale. Fecal samples collected from patients were used to detect rotavirus and enteric adenovirus by enzyme immunoassay, and for RT-PCR of norovirus, astrovirus, and sapovirus. Results: There were a total of 214 patients with a male : female ratio of 1.58 : 1, of which 35 were under the age of 6 months (16.4%), 105 were aged 6-23 months (49.1%), and 74 were aged 24-59 months (34.5%). The rate of concordance between the Vesikari and Clark Scales was 0.521 (P<0.001) and, in severe cases, the Vesikari Scale was 60.7% and Clark Scale was 2.3%, indicating that the Clark Scale was stricter in the evaluation of severe cases. Conclusions: In children with gastroenteritis, there were differences in disease severity based on the scale used. Therefore, to achieve consistent results among researchers, either only a single scale or a measure of all scales should be used to determine disease severity.

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid, reliable instrument to measure perceived value for Taekwondo performance spectators. The perceived value scale for Taekwondo performance spectators was developed in eight phases. For the development spectators perceived value scale (1) literature review, (2) preliminary factors and items selected, (3) assessment of the items, (4) pilot test, (5) data sampling, (6) validity of development scale, (7) assess reliability of items and, (8) predictive validity of development items. Based on three processes, a new perceived value of Taekwondo performance spectators scale with six factors(cultural, social, hedonic, aesthetic, moral and utilitarian value) and 19 items were developed. The result of predictive validity of development items: first, cultural, social, aesthetics, moral of perceived value had significantly influence on spectators attitude. Second, social, hedonic, utilitarian of perceived value had significantly influence on spectators satisfaction. Third, cultural, social, aesthetics perceived value had significantly influence on future consumption behavior of spectators.

This paper proposes a single metric to measure and evaluate the retrieval effectiveness of image database retrieval system that requires an ordered ranking. There are four conditions to be a good ranking system. First, the number of relevant images among the retrieved should be as large as possible. Secondly, the number of irrelevant images should be smaller. Third, the average rank of relevant images should be higher. Last, the relevant images should be clustered close together. The conventional evaluation measures only reflect a part of the conditions listed above, and the evaluated results are coarse or inaccurate. The proposed NDS, however, resolves all those problems. In order to prove the efficiency of the NDS, we generate patterns of ${\_nC_r(_10C_5=252, _20C_9=167,960)}$ to evaluate and compare with other measures. The patterns were generated automatically by a recursive function call on the assumption the 'r' relevant images are retrieved within the range of 'n'.

그 동안 TTS 음성합성의 평가 척도로 명료도(Clarity)와 자연성(Naturalness)을 기준으로 삼았다. 이제는 합성음의 평가 기준이 사람 목소리와 이해도가 되는 것이 좋겠다고 생각한다. 본 논문은 사람 목소리와 이해도라는 척도 중에서 사람 목소리에 관한 주제를 다루고자 한다. 이를 위하여 음성 DB의 합성 단위로 CVC type을 기본으로 하고, CV, VC type으로 보강한 단위를 선정하여 음성 DB를 구축하였다. 그리고 합성 알고리즘은 음색을 살리며 피치 변경이 용이한 PS-RELP 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

고수준의 정보 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 소프트웨어의 고품질화를 추구하여야 한다. 기존에 개발된 품질측정방법들은 모듈 내에 포함되어 있는 요인항목들을 서로 다른 관점에서 개별적으로 측정하고 있어 통합적인 평가방법이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수의 측정 방법들을 모두 수용할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 비율척도들을 선택하고, 러프논리를 이용하여 그들의 중요도를 산출한다. 다음으로 모듈의 품질도를 측정하기 위해서 퍼지적분을 이용하여 척도들의 중요도와 측정값을 종합한다.

멀티미디어 시스템의 사용이 일반화되고, 그 영향범위가 넓어짐에 따라 이러한 시스템의 개발과 테스트는 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 멀티미디어 시스템은 기존의 시스템과 달리 시간-의존적이고 연속적인 미디어를 포함하여 다양한 미디어를 통합한 컨텐츠 기반 실시간 시스템이며, 사용자와의 상호작용과 네트워킹이 중요한 요소라는 점에서 기존의 시스템과 다른 개발주기. 품질 평가 척도를 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문은 멀티미디어 시스템이 어떻게 구성되어 있으며 그 특성이 무엇인지 분석하고, 이에 기반하여 기존의 시스템과 다른 시스템 개발주기, 품질평가 척도 및 이에 따라 요구되는 테스팅 영역에 대하여 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of attention deficit disorder evaluation scale-school version(ADDES-SV). Between October 1996 and November 1996, ADDES-SV was administered to 263 elementary school students in the second grade and between Jun 1996 and October 1996, 28 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patients. In the reliability test, the test-retest reliability coefficient was significantly high and that of inattention was 0.88, that of impulsivity was 0.80, that of hyperactivity was 0.83 and total score was 0.83. In the reliability test by internal consistancy, the Cronbach $\alpha$ coefficient was significantly high and that of inattention was 0.98, that of impulsivity was 0.87, that of hyperactivity was 0.87(p<0.05). The half-sprit reliability coefficient by first-second half method showed high correlation and that of inattention was part 1: 0.96, part 2: 0.96 impulsivity was part 1: 0.95, part 2: 0.93, hyperactivity was part 1: 0.92, part 2: 0.94(p<0.05). Inter-rater reliability by pearson correlation coefficient was significantly high and that of inattention was 0.92, that of impulsivity was 0.87, that of hyperactivity was 0.89 and total score was 0.89. The concurrent validity between ADDES-SV and CAP scale was 0.85 in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patient group and 0.79 in normal control group(p<0.05). In discriminant validity test between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patient group and normal control group, the patient group showed higher score(p<0.05). The total discriminant capacity of the patient group in ADDES-SV was 94.6%. In this point of view, ADDES-SV scale showed high reliability and validity in applying to Korean subjects and was proved to be the useful screening test tool for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder research.

The purpose of this study was to examine the category function, the item structure, and the model-data fit of the Copenhagen neck functional disability scale (CNFDS) with neck pain subjects using Rasch rating scale analysis. The data was obtained from the assessments of 71 college students with neck pain. The 'concentration' item showed misfit and fourteen items were founds to be fits for self-reporting of disability due to neck pain. The most difficult item of the remaining 14 items was 'help' and the easiest item was 'social contact'. The subjects and items reliability of separation reliability were 0.85 and 0.97. The CNFDS for self-reporting of disability due to mild neck pain has been proved valid and reliable. This study is suggested that individuals with mild neck pain may be used the modified CNFDS that were not included 'concentration' item and were adjusted the 2 response levels.
