Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of active mandibular exercise (AME) in patients with limited mouth opening after maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) release. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group and a pre test-post test design. Sixty-two patients with Maxillomandibular Fixation Release were assigned to the experimental (n=31) or control group (n=31). The AME was performed in the experimental group for 4 weeks. The exercise AME consisted of maximal mouth opening, lateral excursion and protrusive movement. These movements were repeated ten times a day. After the final exercise of the day, the number of tongue blades used for mouth opening was noted. The effect of AME was evaluated after MMF release at different time intervals: a) immediately, b) after 1 week, c) after 2 weeks, d) after 4 weeks, and e) after 12 weeks. The exercise was assessed using the following criteria: a) mandibular movements, b) pain scores associated with maximal mouth opening, c) discomfort scores associated with range of movement, and d) daily life activities that involve opening the mouth. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvement regarding the range of mandibular movements (maximal mouth opening (F=23.60, p<.001), lateral excursion to the right side (F=5.25, p=.002), lateral excursion to the left side (F=5.97, p=.001), protrusive movement (F=5.51, p=.001)), pain score (F=39.59, p<.001), discomfort score (F=9.38, p<.001). Daily life activities that involve opening the mouth were more favorable compared to those in the control group. Conclusion: The AME in patients after MMF release is helpful for increasing mandibular movement range, decreasing pain and discomfort, and improving day life activities that involve opening the mouth. Therefore, AME is highly recommended as an effective nursing intervention.

주가 예측은 학문적으로나 실용적으로나 중요한 문제이기에, 주가 예측에 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되었다. 빅 데이터 시대에 도입하면서, 빅 데이터를 결합한 주가 예측 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 다수의 데이터를 기반으로 기계 학습을 이용한 연구가 주를 이룬다. 특히 언론의 효과를 접목한 연구 방법들이 주목을 받고 있는데, 그중 온라인 뉴스를 분석하여 주가 예측에 활용하는 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 기존 연구들은 온라인 뉴스가 개별 회사에 대한 미치는 영향을 주로 살펴보았다. 또한, 관련성이 높은 기업끼리 서로 영향을 주는 것을 고려하는 방법도 최근에 연구되고 있다. 이는 동질성을 가지는 산업군에 대한 효과를 살펴본 것인데, 기존 연구에서 동질성을 가지는 산업군은 국제 산업 분류 표준에 따른다. 즉, 기존 연구들은 국제 산업 분류 표준으로 나뉜 산업군이 동질성을 가진다는 가정하에서 분석을 시행하였다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 영향력을 가지는 회사를 고려하지 못한 채 예측하였거나 산업군 내에서 이질성이 존재하는 점을 반영하지 못했다는 한계점을 가진다. 본 연구는 산업군 내에 이질성이 존재함을 밝히고, 이질성을 반영하지 못한 기존 연구의 한계점을 K-평균 군집 분석을 적용하여, 주가에 영향을 미치는 산업군의 동질적인 효과를 반영할 수 있는 방법론을 제안하였다. 방법론이 적합하다는 것을 증명하기 위해 3년간의 온라인 뉴스와 주가를 통해 실험한 결과, 다수의 경우에서 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 좋은 결과를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었으며, 국제 산업 분류 표준 산업군 내에서 이질성이 클수록 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 좋은 효과를 보인다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 국제 산업 분류 표준으로 나누어진 기업들이 높은 동질성을 가지지 않는 다는것을 밝히고 이를 반영한 예측 모형의 효율성을 입증하였다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.

The purpose of this study was to review of mechanism and application methodology about mental practice. The mental practice is symbolic rehearsal of physical activity in the absence of any gross muscular movements. Human have the ability to generate mental correlates of perceptual and motor events without any triggering external stimulus, a function known as imagery, Practice produces both internal and external sensory consequences which are thought to be essential for learning to occur, It is for this reason that mental practice, rehearsal of skill in imagination rather than by overt physical activity, has intrigued theorists, especially those interested in cognitive process. Several studies in sport psychology have shown that mental practice can be effective in optimizing the execution of movements in athletes and help novice learner in the incremental acquisition of new skilled behaviors. There are many theories of mental practice for explaining the positive effect In skill learning and performance. Most tenable theories are symbolic learning theory, psyconeuromuscular theory, Paivio's theory, regional cerebral blood flow theory, motivation theory, modeling theory, mental and muscle movement nodes theory, insight theory, selective attention theory, and attention-arousal set theory etc.. The factors for influencing to effects of mental practice are application form, application period, time for length of the mental practice, number of repetition, existence of physical practice.

Finger movements in the sagittal plane mainly consist of flexion and extension about the metacarpophalangeal(MCP) and proximal interphalangeal(PIP) joints. A kinematic finger model was developed with the assumption of constant tendon moment arms. Equations of static equilibrium were derived for the finger model using the principle of virtual work. Equations of static equilibrium for the finger model were indeterminate since only three equations were available for five unknown variables(forces). The number of variables was reduced based on information on muscular activities in finger movements. Then the amounts of forces which muscles exerted to maintain static equilibrium against external loads were computed from the equilibrium equations. The muscular forces were expressed mathematically as functions of finger positions, tendon moment arms, lengths of phalanges, and the magnitude and direction of external load. The external finger strength were computed using the equations of muscular forces and anatomical data. Experiments were performed to measure finger strengths. Measurements were taken in combinations of four finger positions and four directions of force exertions. Validation of the finger models and of procedure to estimate finger strengths was done by comparing the results of computations and experiments. Significang differences were found between the predicted and measured finger strengths. However, the trends of finger strengths with respect to finger positions were similar inboth the predicted and measured. These findings indicate that the finger model and the procedure to predict finger strengths were correctly developed.

Although TMJ sound is common, its relationship to subjective and objective evaluation and the magnitude and the position of the sound during the mandibular movement is not fully understood. So, the purpose of this investigation was to provide further insight into the characteristics of the TMJ sounds. Twelve subjects (9 men and 3 women) with TMJ sounds were selected from students at Chosun University, School of Dentistry. Condylar movements and TMJ sounds of each subject were recorded and analyzed using a simplified condylar path recorder and a sound checker. Although specific conclusions were difficult to make from this study, the finding suggested the followings. 1. The position of TMJ sounds were visually observed and marked on the condylar tracings during maximum opening and closing, protrusive and retrusive and right and left lateral movements. 2. Information about the size, location and number of condylar deviations and the translation freedom of the condyle was recorded and analyzed objectively. 3. The most obvious characteristic of TMJ sounds was their variability. 4. TMJ sounds were categorized into one of four groups (soft click, hard click, soft crepitus, hard crepitus) by the quality and quantity of the duration and amplitude components.

The number of single-person households is increasing worldwide, and among them, the proportion of elderly single-person households is increasing. In the case of elderly single-person households, a significant portion of their leisure time is devoted to watching TV. However, if they fall asleep while watching TV without turning it off, it may be difficult to sleep well due to lights and sounds of TV, which can cause health problems such as depression and reduced immunity. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system that automatically turns off the TV when a person watching TV falls asleep. Images are collected using the camera installed in front of the TV. Since the posture of a person watching TV varies from a sitting posture to a lying posture, the system is designed to determine whether or not to fall asleep regardless of the posture. In addition, since it becomes difficult to judge eye movements as a person moves away from the TV, a method for extending the judgmentable distance is proposed. The system model was implemented and tested using a Raspberry Pi, a monitor, an infrared sensor, and a camera. Eye movements were judged regardless of sitting or lying position, and the distance between a user and a TV was extended by about 200 cm.

Interzonal air movements are important to characterize overall ventilation performance of complicated multi-zone buildings. Tracer gas techniques are widely used to measure ventilation rates, ventilation effectiveness, and interzonal air movements. Depending on the number of gases used, they are divided into single and multi tracer gas methods. This paper deals with the comparison of the tracer gas methods in measuring air exchange rate between rooms. Experiments have been conducted in a simple two-room model with known airflow rates. In multi-gas procedure, the concentration decays of two tracer gases, i.e SF6 and R134a are measured after simultaneous injections in each room. The single tracer gas method is also applied by injecting SF6 gas with a time lag between two rooms. The data reduction procedures are developed to obtain the interzonal airflow rate using the matrix inversion, and various data manipulation methods are tested, such as data shift, interpolation, and smoothing. Uncertainty for each airflow rate is investigated depending on the parameters based on the setting values.

This study aimed to verify the criteria of the driver monitoring systems proposed by UNECE ACSF informal working group and the ministry of land, infrastructure, and transport of South Korea using driving behavior data. In order to verify the criteria, we investigated the safety regulations of driver monitoring systems in a conditional autonomous vehicle and found that the driver monitoring measures were related to eye blinks times, head movements, and eye closed duration. Thus, we took two different experimental data including real-world driving and simulator-based drowsy driving behaviors in previous studies. The real-world driving data were used for analyzing blink times and head movement intervals, and the drowsiness data were used for eye closed duration. In the real-world driving study, 52 drivers drove approximately 11.0 km of rural road (about 20 min), 7.9 km of urban road (about 25 min), and 20.8 km of highway (about 20 min). The results suggested that the appropriate number of blinks during the last 60 seconds was 4 times, and the head movement interval was 35 seconds. The results from drowsy driving data will be presented in another paper - part 2.
