  • With continued technology innovation in the fields of computer graphics (CG) and virtual reality (VR), digital animated avatars (or virtual humans) are evolving into ones that are more interactive at a suitable location such as museum, airport, and shopping mall. Specially, the form of the avatar (or the virtual human) realistically need to be expressed in a way that matches the users' physical space. In recent many researches, the form of virtual human has been expressed as mixed-reality human (MRH)-the virtual human combines with the physicality as the real part. In this paper, we propose to carry out a study comparing various MRH on co-presence and emotional response in two-typed virtual humans depending on how many actual parts are included: (1) (Level 1) small parts in the virtual human combined virtual components (e.g., the head only) and (2) (Level 2) large parts in the virtual human with the physicality as the real part such as head, arms, and upper body). We report on the implemented results of our virtual humans and experimental results on co-presence and emotional response.

  • Sparganum is the larvae of a parasite called Spirometra. It usually lives in snakes or frogs, which are parasitic on the human who consume them raw. Sparganum is presented with a form of mobile subcutaneous nodule in various parts of human body. A 78 years old man with palpable neck mass visited our clinics. He had a history of eating snakes raw about 50 years ago. He was diagnosed with Sparganosis through a fine needle aspiration biopsy and underwent excisional biopsy. Sparganosis should be considered when dealing subcutaneous palpable neck mass with history of consuming raw snakes or frogs.

  • 본 논문에서는 대화 중 발화에서 페르소나 트리플을 추출하는 방법을 연구한다. 발화 문장과 그에 해당하는 트리플 쌍을 활용하여 발화 문장 혹은 페르소나 문장이 주어졌을 때 그로부터 페르소나 트리플을 추출하도록 모델을 멀티 태스크 러닝 방식으로 학습시킨다. 모델은 인코더-디코더 구조를 갖는 사전학습 언어모델 BART [1]와 T5 [2]를 활용하며 relation 추출과 tail 추출의 두 가지 태스크를 각각 인코더, 디코더 위에 head를 추가하여 학습한다. Relation 추출은 분류로, tail 추출은 생성 문제로 접근하도록 하여 최종적으로 head, relation, tail의 구조를 갖는 페르소나 트리플을 추출하도록 한다. 실험에서는 BART와 T5를 활용하여 각 태스크에 대해 다른 학습 가중치를 두어 훈련시켰고, 두 모델 모두 relation과 tail을 추출하는 태스크 정확도에 있어서 90% 이상의 높은 점수를 보임을 확인했다.

  • This paper presents an analysis of SAR(Specific Absorption Rate) distribution characteristics in a head model using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain). In this study human head was modelled in four elements-layered structure, consisting of skin, fat, skull and brain. To calculate the electromagnetic fields wihtin the head model, FDTD method was used. In the FDTD method, the electromagnetic wave is analyzed by solving a Maxwell's equations repeatedly. For the calculation, distance between power source and head model increased by 10[m]. Power density and incident electric field intensity were calculated. Based on the incident electric field, the program which calaculated internal electric fields intensity and SAR calculation of the head model were developed. The results of developed program using FDTD were compared with those of a commericial programs, which showed the availability and usefulness of the suggested scheme in this paper.

  • Objective: To compare head and hand movement patterns during squash forehand motions between experts and less-skilled squash players. Method: Four experts and four less-skilled squash players participated in this study. They performed squash forehand swings and a VICON motion analysis system was used to obtain displacement and velocity data of the head and right hand during the movement. Mann-Whitney U-tests were performed to compare head and hand range of motion and peak velocity, and cross-correlation was performed to analyze the head-hand coordination pattern between groups in three movement directions. Results: In terms of head and hand kinematic data, experts had greater head range of motion during down swings than less-skilled squash players. Experts seemed to reach peak hand velocity at impact by reaching peak head velocity followed by hand peak velocity within a given temporal sequence. In terms of head-hand coordination patterns, both groups revealed high positive correlations in the medial-lateral direction, indicating a dominant allocentric coordination pattern. However, experts had uncoupled coordination patterns in the vertical direction and less-skilled squash players had high positive correlations. These results indicate that the head-hand movement pattern likely an important factor squash forehand movement. Conclusion: Analysis of head and hand movement patterns could be a key variable in squash training to reach expert-level performance.

  • Purpose : The purpose of the present study was to examine the causal relationships among head nurses' leadership (consideration oriented leadership, structure initiated leadership), nursing unit culture (human development culture, task development culture), and nurses' organizational commitment. Method : Four large general hospitals located in and around Seoul were selected to participate. The total sample of 286 registered nurses represents a response rate of 90 percent. Data for this study was collected from August to September in 2000 by questionnaire. Path analyses with LISREL program were used to test the fit of the proposed model to the data and to examine the causal relationships among variables. Result : Both the proposed model and the modified model fit the data adequately. The model revealed relatively high explanatory power. 52% of human development culture was explained by predicted variables and 44% of task development was explained by predicted variables; 47% of the organizational commitment was explained by predicted variables. In predicting developmental (both human and task) nursing unit culture, the findings of this study clearly demonstrated that head nurses' consideration oriented leadership might be the most important variable. The result also showed that head nurses' consideration oriented leadership might be the most important variable among the predicted variables in predicting organizational commitment. Conclusion : Based on the findings of this study, it was suggested that various studies, for example, matching leadership and nursing unit culture, were needed.

  • This study focused on infection rates and subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and the relationship between HPV status and prognosis of the disease. We evaluated sixty-six OSCC patients who met the enrollment criteria during the period from January 1999 to December 2009. The presence or absence of oncogenic HPV types in tumors was determined using the SPF10 LiPA25 assay. Overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DSS) for HPV positive and HPV negative patients were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The Cox regression model was applied for multivariate analysis. HPV-DNA was detected in 11(16.7%) of all specimens. Among them, 7 were type HPV-16, while other types were HPV-16/11, HPV-35, HPV-58/52, and HPV-33/52/54. Patients with HPV positive tumors were more likely to be female, non-smokers and non-drinkers (p=0.002, 0.001 and 0.001, respectively). After a median follow-up of 24.5 months, patients with HPV positive tumors had significantly better overall survival (HR=0.106[95%CI=0.014-0.787], p=0.016,) and disease specific survival (HR=0.121[95%CI=0.016-0.906], p=0.030). Patients with HPV positive OSCC have significantly better prognosis than patients with HPV negative tumors. HPV infection is an independent prognostic factor.
