In this paper, the learnability of haptic icons was tested as a way of conveying turn-by-turn directions to users involved in navigation interactions with commercial smartphones. To do this, six most distinctive haptic icons were identified from those having different duration of each pulse, interval between pulses, and rhythm. Associations between the selected haptic icons and 3 pairs of navigation directions were analyzed using data gathered from 30 subjects by 7 point Likert scale. The haptic icons were then assigned to proper directions based on the results from that stereotype analysis. The results showed that the commercial smartphone with one linear motor at a fixed location is not capable of making hapticons to have clear directional stereotypes. The hapticons with poor stereotypes has no advantage in learnability compared to those of random assignment.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino acid polypeptide, is a member of the pancreatic polypeptide family, which consists of NPY, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). The neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors called Y receptors belongs to G-protein coupled that are involved in a variety of physiological functions such as appetite regulation, circadian rhythm and anxiety. Five receptor subtypes have been cloned in mammals (Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5, and Y6) of which four are functional. In this short review, information about the functional NYP receptors was analyzed. Sequence analyses were done between these receptors to identify the relationships between them. Phylogram was generated between these receptors to identify the close homologue between these receptors. Our sequence analyses found that Y1 and Y4 receptors are close than the other receptors. Further structure based analysis could be useful to identify subtype selective antagonists and dual antagonists targeting Y1 and Y4 receptors.

This thesis aims at understanding Le Corbusier's architecture through study of proportion. Based on the analysis of these texts, four elements - geometry in the outline, diagonal regulation lines in the facade, arithmetic rhythm in the structure, composition in the inner space - were listed. Through these four proportional systems. ten houses of 1920's, designed by Le Corbusier were analysed. The Le Corbusier's proportional system can be classified by two different purposes ; aesthetics and utility standardization for the mass production was reflected. In the later period, the proportion system of 1920's has changed through the process of self-contradiction. But the concept of the golden section and the human scale was reflected on Modulor, which Le Corbusier created in 1940's. Therefore, Le Corbuiser's notion of proportion for harmony of architecture has consistent meaning throughout all of his works from the 1920's.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify quality of sleep and health-promoting behaviors in rotating-shift nurses and to explore the influence of health promoting behaviors on quality of sleep. Method: Participants were 161 staff nurses working in an irregular three shift system in one of three general hospitals located in Kyungpook province. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-IIand were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The majority of the participants had very poor quality of sleep and performed a low level of health promoting behaviors. In terms of health promoting behaviors, nutrition and stress management significantly influenced quality of sleep of these nurses. Conclusion: Results indicate the importance of encouraging rotating-shift nurses to enhance their health promoting behaviors in order to improve quality of sleep.

The authors have considered the 1/f fluctuation of vial rhythm with $1/f\beta$ spectrum of $\alpha$ wave in relation to the invigoration for the learning memory by paid their attention to the hippocampus protocol in this paper. At the first clinical experiment, the data of the remembrance test at short period is able to make as the foundation of the repeat memory. It can replace this memory with long period memory through the hippocampus by the superposition of the same memory-nerve circuits.

For the representative beat calculation and efficient rhythm analysis new method, that is, QRS typification were proposed. A problem that were resulted from pattern classification based on binary logic could be solved out by the fuzzy clustering and classification nodes could be reduced by using the proposed new feature vector. The accurate representative beat could be obtained by excluding the ST-T segment that happened outlier through ST-T segment typification procedure.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the influence of chronotype and self-efficacy on drinking problem in undergraduate students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the 177 undergraduate students in D, G, and K city in 2017. The data was analyzed for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 18.0 program. Results: Chronotype (${\beta}=-.31$, p< .001), self-efficacy (${\beta}=27$, p< .001) and religion (${\beta}=-.19$, p= .005) were identified as the factors influencing drinking problem in the subjects. The model explained 19% of variance in drinking problem (F= 11.36, p< .001). Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and apply a program that would consider chronotype and self-efficacy factors to reduce the drinking problem in undergraduate students.

This study, views the color of scenery not as a static state, but rather as a continuous sequence of perceptions that incorporates the concept of time. This study derived techniques to quantitatively analyze the flow and data from this sequence. By utilizing this, urban color trends can be based on openness. This is very close to what would be experienced by an actual viewer: it extracted color data and visual amount from frames at 2-second intervals by shooting a video of the color sequence of the city as seen from both the left and right sides from the inside of the monorail (line 3 of the Daegu urban railway). These images were classified by color group, brightness, chroma, high chroma distribution derived techniques such as openness of space, brightness level, clarity level, high-chroma distribution and code, advantage of visual amount, dominant factor exposure, hot and cold color image and dynamic of sequence rhythm. During the derived sequence, the data determines the openness in the visual amount of sky and it was found that the tendency of the colors of the city was opening regression analysis. The more colorful the city is opening the brightness is lowered, the chroma increased slightly, cold colors significantly increased, which also had a very deep relationship with Lynch enclosed proportion, color change of the city trends through the actual scenery could grasp in more detail.

Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the clinical effects of neurofeedback training on reducing anxiety. Methods: Eight databases were used to extract clinical reports on neurofeedback intervention for anxiety reduction published until 2016. We analyzed the characteristics of selected studies and evaluated biases using the Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment. Results: A total of 22 clinical trials were extracted for the analysis. The risk of bias in most studies was high or unclear. The Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders-3 (CCMD-3) was the most frequently used diagnostic criteria, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA) was the most frequently used assessment tool, and the alpha wave activity increase, sensorimotor rhythm (SMR), and theta wave training were the most frequently used intervention methods. All papers showed a statistically significant decrease of anxiety symptoms; however, significant adverse events were not reported. Conclusions: Neurofeedback intervention might be beneficial for reducing anxiety. However, the quality of the studies used in the analysis was low, and the heterogeneity of the population and interventions was revealed. Therefore, more scientifically designed clinical studies regarding neurofeedback training are required.

This paper describes an analysis of the music as a time series and the fuzzy logic-based modeling of it. All music is made up of a finite number of musical notations known as the musical symbols, such as clefs, staff, tine signature, notes, rests, etc. . The musical score uses musical symbols to present various characteristics, such as rhythm, melody, chord, etc,. for interpreting the music. In this paper, it is possible to transform the beat and pitch in the musical into time series from the viewpoint of recognizing beat and pitch of sounding tone at each time. On the basis of the identified features of the musical score, a musical score is represented as a time series and then is constructed to fuzzy logic-based model for predicting them. Examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.
