  • To provide the physician with adequate information to diagnose and treat sleepwalking and sleep terrors, the author reviewed clinical features, epidemiology, causative and precipitating factors, polysomnography, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment for these disorders. Sleepwalking and sleep terrors have been defined as disorders of arousal that occur early in the night and have their onset during stage 3 or 4 sleep. In both disorders, patients are difficult to arouse, and complete amnesia or minimal recall of the episode is frequent. Genetic, developmental, and psychological factors have been identified as causes of both sleepwalking and sleep terrors. Sleepwalking and sleep terrors typically begin in childhood or early adolescence and are usually outgrown by the end of adolescence. When sleepwalking or sleep terrors have a post-pubertal onset or continue to adulthood, psychopathology is a more significant causative factors. The behavior that occur from deep slow-wave sleep can be painful or dangerous to the individual and/or disturbing to those close to that individual. The assessment of patients suspected of having these conditions requires a thorough medical and sleep history. The most important consideration in managing patients with sleepwalking or sleep terrors episodes is protection from injury.

  • In the previous study, six factors which could disturb students' problem solving in an everyday context were identified and discussed. In this study, teaching materials to help students overcome those disturbing factors for successful problem solving in an everyday context were developed and applied to twenty-nine grade 10 students, and the effects of teaching materials were analyzed. According to the analysis of the correlation between the performance in everyday context problem solving and the benefit from the teaching materials, it was found that students who received the help from the teaching materials showed better performance with statistical significance. And students noted that teaching materials were helpful for them to solve the physics problems. Analyzing the overall performance of students in solving the everyday context problem, students in the experimental group showed better performance than the control group and this performance difference was larger among low-score students in school science testing. However, these differences were not statistically significant because the sample size was small. And, based on the analysis of interviews with students, it was also found that some students who showed low performance might not receive help from the teaching materials because the materials were too complex to be read easily, or because the basic concepts needed to solve the problem were not understood. Therefore, the results obtained from the interviews will be used to design more effective teaching for problem solving in an everyday context.

  • This study was attempted to show basic data for search of nursing intervention about sleep improving in home and institute elderly peoples. Research design was cross-sectional survey method for comparison of sleep patterns and another variables between home and institute elderly peoples. Subjects were sampled by purpose as home and institute elderly peoples at age of 65 or older in Seoul or nearly. The survey questionnaire was used by modification of sleep questionnaire which Kim, O, Song & Bak(1997) developed. Data were collected between December, 1999 and April, 2000. And data were analyzed by SPSS PC+ for purpose of research. Results are as follows: 1. Home and institute elderly peoples, all were change of sleep patterns and sleep pattern was showed early sleeping down. But institute elderly peoples slept earlier than home elderly peoples. 2. As rest of morning, difficulty of falling asleep and disturbance of re-asleep, subjective thinking and feeling were showed more negative thing home elderly peoples than institute elderly peoples. As frequency of falling asleep within 5 min in 1 week, frequency of falling asleep over 30 min in 1 week and frequency of awakening in a day, objective frequency were showed more insomnia institute elderly peoples than home elderly peoples. Home elderly peoples didn't nap most and institute elderly peoples napped on very short time. 3. Regarding sleep-disturbing factors, physical factor was popularly joint-disturbance in all, home and institute elderly peoples. Environmental factor was popularly noise, particularly institute elderly peoples. Emotional factor wasn't all. 4. Practiced strategies for better sleep was popularly TV/Radio in home elderly peoples and were popularly regular sleep and religious action in institute elderly peoples.

  • Sleep is an essential component for health and the quality of life of individuals, and is affected by multiple factors. Thereby, sleep impairment is known to be frequent even in healthy subjects. The purpose of the study is to compare sleep patterns and related factors between healthy young and old adults and to identify aging effects upon sleep in a cross-sectional way. The survey questionnaire was developed by translation and modification of two well-known sleep questionnaires which were originally developed by Monroe(1967) and Ellis, et al. (1982). Discussion with experts and pilot study were completed to finalize the contents of the questionnaire that was used in this study. Results are as follows : 1. Sleep complaints were lower in older adults. 2. The most frequent variables that explain sleep satisfaction were feeling rested in the morning in the older adults and feeling rested and failing asleep within five minutes in the young adults. 3. Regarding sleep-disturbing factors, physical factors were more frequently reported in the older adults and environmental factors are reported more frequently in the young adults, and there was no difference related to the emotional factors between the two groups. 4. Young adults were practiced strategies for better sleep more often than the older adults, and they were mainly in-home activities just before sleep. 5. Sleep patterns which change with aging were as follows : going to bed and waking up earlier : not staying in the bed long after waking up ; getting harder to fall asleep ; frequent arousal after sleep onset ; getting harder to go back to sleep after arousal during night sleep. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that sleep and related factors of the young and the older adults are different. Also, sleep patterns change with aging and those changes seem to be negative for sleep in the elderly. Repeated studies are needed to establish more concrete information regarding sleep patterns. In addition, further research is needed to develop more reliable, valid, and feasible sleep measure tools, and to develop and evaluate nursing interventions.

  • A two-dimensional continuum model for the prediction of the hydrogen mixing phenomena in the containment compartment under the severe accident conditions is developed. The model could predict well the distribution of time-dependent hydrogen concentration for selected HEDL Experiment. For a simulation of these experiments, the hydrogen is mixed uniform over the test compartment. To predict the extent of non-uniform distribution, the dominant factors such as the geometrical shape of obstacle and velocity of source injection in mixing phenomena are investigated. If the obstacle disturbing the flow of gas mixture exists in the compartment, the uniform distribution of hydrogen may be not guaranteed. The convective circulation of gas flow is separately formed up and down of the obstacle position, which makes a difference of hydrogen concentration between the upper and lower region of the compartment. The recirculation flow must have a considerable mass flow rate relative to velocity of the source injection to sustain the well-mixed conditions of hydrogen.

  • Cutting force signals are very useful to evaluate the cutting state, but many disturbing factors are occurring during cutting. For the reliability of the analysis, selecting pure cutting force signals from the original ones is needed. In the current study, using the ICA(Independent Component Analysis) effective cutting force components are seperated from the original signals. And using this, as input data of MLP(Multi-Layer Perception) cutting forces are predicted Experimental results are then compared with the predicted ones to verify the validation of the proposed model.

  • Purpose: This study was done to compare sleep patterns, factors of sleep disturbance and sleep enhancement behaviors between sleep disturbance and non-sleep disturbance elderly patients. Method: The participants were 117 patients over 65 years old who were hospitalized at 5 general hospitals in Seoul. There were 83 patients in the good sleeper group and 34 in the poor sleeper group. The survey questionnaires included questions on general characteristics, sleep patterns, sleep disturbing factors, and sleep enhancement behaviors of the patients. Results: For sleep patterns and environmental factors of sleep disturbance, the poor sleepers was significantly higher than that of the good sleepers. Significant differences between good sleepers and poor sleepers were also found on the following variables: Environmental factors of sleep disturbance -'Sound of other patient's or care-giver's', 'Discomfort of bed, linen, pillow and patient's gown', 'Light in the room', 'Emergency situations', 'Temperature of patients rooms too hot or too cold'. The significant physical factor of sleep disturbance was 'Hard to breath even without moving' and for sleep enhancement behaviors: 'Use of ear plugs or eye covers' Conclusion: Consequently it is necessary to develop positive and differentiated programs for sleep enhancement for the inactive and poor sleeper among the elderly patients.

  • 본 연구는 생태계 교란식물 가시박의 방제를 위한 기초자료 확보를 위해 금강수계 미호천을 대상으로 가시박의 개체밀도에 영향을 주는 환경요인과의 영향관계를 분석하였다. 가시박 서식지 토양입도 분석결과 가시박 개체밀도는 실트질 및 점토질 함량이 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 가시박 서식지 대부분은 모래질 및 실트질 함량이 높았으며 점토질은 2% 이하로 낮게 나타났다. 유량의 경우 평수량 및 풍수량 초과 이벤트가 증가할수록 가시박 개체밀도는 낮아지는 경향을 보였는데, 이는 유량증가시 가시박의 침수로 인한 토양특성 변화와 성장장애 떄문이다. 수질은 가시박이 침수시 양분을 공급하는 역할을 하나 가시박이 물에 침수시 토양특성 변화로 성장장애를 받기 때문에 오히려 가시박 개체밀도가 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 생태하천복원사업 등 하천의 자연성 회복을 위한 자연적 방제기법으로 가시박 성장환경을 가진 토양에 자연형 물길을 조성함으로써 물관리를 통한 기법이 적용 가능할 것으로 본다.

  • 본 연구는 매미의 노랫소리가 청소년의 심리적 반응에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 기초 과정으로 상하한치 설정 실험이 수행되었으며, 심화 과정으로 흔히 듣는 5종의 매미 노랫소리에 대한 느낌이 요인분석을 통해 유형화되었고, 청감실험을 통해 나타난 심리적 반응이 회귀분석을 통하여 분석되었다. 연구 결과, 상하한치 설정 실험에서는 말매미와 애매미의 노랫소리, 도로교통소음이 명상을 방해하는 정도는 서로 비슷하나, 백색소음보다는 덜 한 것으로 확인되었다. 매미 노랫소리가 청소년들에게 소음으로 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있어 형용사 유형화 실험이 수행되었다. 매미 노랫소리는 3가지 요인에 의해 표현이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 제 1요인은 [불쾌감]이며 제 2요인은 [강렬함]이고 제 3요인은 [리듬감]이다. 정상음을 내는 말매미와 털매미의 노랫소리는 제 1요인이, 변동음을 내는 애매미, 소요산매미, 참매미의 노랫소리는 제 3요인이 가장 크게 지배하였다. 소리의 크기에 대해 제 3요인은 거의 영향을 받지 않지만 제 1, 2요인의 감성값은 선형적으로 비례함을 알았다. 소음과 관련하여 제 1요인을 분석한 결과, 같은 크기의 소리일 때 불쾌감은 백색소음 - 애매미 - 말매미 순으로 확인되었다.
