Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of parent education program with sensory integration approach on the parent's understanding of sensory processing ability of their own children with developmental delays. Methods : The period of this study is from March 15, 2015 to May 10, 2015. The participants of this study were thirty of parents who have children with developmental delays. The participants were randomly divided as experimental group (15 parents) and control group (15 parents) and an educational program was provided to those parents in the experimental group. The education program was developed based on sensory integration approach and 1:1 intensive individual counseling education. Short Sensory Profile (SSP) & a specially designed questionnaire were used to evaluate the parent's understanding of sensory processing ability of their children with developmental delays. The effect of between the groups was analyzed using an independent two samples t-test, and the effect of the intervention within a group was measured using the paired t-test. Results : After the intervention of parent education program, the total score of SSP was significantly decreased and the score of the parent questionnaire was significantly increased (p<.05). Conclusion : The results of this study show that parent education program with sensory integration approach is effective to improve the parent's understanding of sensory processing ability of their children with developmental delays. This study can be used as a good resource for therapists who is planning to provide sensory integration treatment for children with disabilities.

Objective : The purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics and psychometric properties of assessments which were developed to measure sensory processing functions of preschool-aged children. Method : Comprehensive search for assessments measuring sensory processing functions was administered by using multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL and PsycINFO. The titles and abstracts from the retrieved papers were screened. Then assessment tools that met all of the inclusion criteria were selected. Results : Thirty-eight assessments were identified. There were eight assessment tools that met the pre-defined inclusion criteria. Sensory Processing Measure-Preschool (SPM-P) was verified to be the most reliable and valid assessment tool, whereas Sensory Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ), Sense & Self-Regulation Checklist (SSRC), and Sensory Processing Scale Assessment (SPSA) showed inadequate reliability and validity. Conclusion : Based on the results from this systematic review, it would be useful for clinicians and researchers to select assessment tools of sensory processing for preschool-aged children.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between smartphone addiction, sensory processing features and self-efficacy in college students. Methods : From June to August in 2015, a hundred eighty three healthy college students were completed the questionnaire for smartphone addiction (S-scale), sensory processing feature (Adolescent/ Adult Sensory Profile), and self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy Scale) and correlation analyses were applied. Results : There were significant differences on sensory registration and sensory sensitivity in sensory processing features between the addiction group and the non-addiction group. Significant correlations were found between smartphone addiction and sensory seeking, and smartphone addiction and self-efficacy. Conclusion : This study showed smartphone addiction had relationships with high sensory seeking and low self-efficacy. Thus, more studies and interventions focused on preventing smartphone addiction are required for college students.

Quality characteristics of tomatoes irradiated with light (red light of far-red light followed two days later with a red light treatment), treated with ethylene, and stored in darkness were evaluated by subjective sensory and objective physical and chemical evaluations. Overall and individual liking evaluations and sensory evaluations were made by an untrained panel of eighteen people. A rankin gof treatments for consumer (panelist) acceptability was also conducted by the panel. Physical and chemical evaluations included surface color measurement (L*, a*, and b*), mechanical puncturing (firmness), soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity(TA), and tomato juice pH. Sensory data showed that outside color, inside color, and flavor of tomatoes treated with red light (R) and far-red light/red light (FR/R) were scored significantly higher than those of tomatoes treated with ethylene and those kept in darkness. The L* values for tomatoes treated with R and FR/R were lower (more darkening) than those for tomatoes treated with ethylene and those stored in darkness. Tomatoes treated with FR/R had the highest A* values, followed by those irradiated with R, treated with ethylene, and kept in darkness, respectively. Sensory values for firmness were similar for tomatoes treated with R, FR/R, and ethylene. Treatments had no significantly different effects on sweetness and acidity. There were no significantly different effects between treatments for pH, SSC, TA, and SSC/TA. From observations made during the study, it was suggested that R irradiation stimulated red color development in tomatoes after it had been delayed by FR irradiation. Consumer acceptability for tomatoes with either R or FR/R treatment was significantly higher than that for tomatoes treated with ethylene or stored in darkness. panelists' overall liking scores correlated well with all sensory variables except acidity, and also correlated highly with inside color, flavor, and sweetness (P<0.001). Overall liking versus flavor had the most pronounced relationship (r=0.78, P<0.001).

Effect of baking on the physicochemical and sensory properties was investigated using a model system of sponge cakes incorporated with Ecklonia cava powder as a value-added food ingredient. Ecklonia cava powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour. After appropriate mixing, sponge cakes were baked at ${185^{\circ}C}$ for 20 min in an oven. The baked cakes were cooled to room temperature for 1 hr prior to all measurements. The specific gravity of batter increased gradually with increase in Ecklonia cava powder content. The specific volume of sponge cakes tended to decrease while baking loss increased. Volume of the cakes decreased with higher amount of Ecklonia cava powder in the formulation as indicated by the decrease in the volume index. Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in Ecklonia cava powder content (p<0.05). Color, seaweeds smell, and taste were distinctively classified by the sensory analyses (p<0.05). Finally, correlation analysis indicated that level of Ecklonia cava powder incorporation was well-correlated with all the physicochemical and sensory properties studied except for $a^{*}$-value and sensory firmness (p<0.05, p<0.01 or p<0.001).

Biological sensory systems continuously monitor and analyze changes in real-world environments that are relevant to an animal's specific behavioral needs and goals. Understanding the sensory mechanisms and information processing principles that biological systems utilize for efficient sensory data acquisition may provide useful guidance for the design of smart-sensing systems in engineering applications. Weakly electric fish, which use self-generated electrical energy to actively sense their environment, provide an excellent model system for studying biological principles of sensory data acquisition. The electrosensory system enables these fish to hunt and navigate at night without the use of visual cues. To achieve reliable, real-time task performance, the electrosensory system implements a number of smart sensing strategies, including efficient stimulus encoding, multi-scale virtual sensor arrays, task-dependent filtering and online subtraction of sensory expectation.

The purpose of this study is to provide definition of proprioception, foundations and roles of neuroanatomy, and systemical review of proprioceptive activities in sensory integration intervention. Proprioception exists in muscle, ligaments, joints and skin and it plays important role in controling body movements and interacting with environment during child development. Proprioception interacting with tactile and vestibular systems contributes to the change of muscle tone, postural control, refinements of planning and praxis. Children who are deficit in proprioceptive processing would seek hypo-responsive proprioceptive input or avoid hyperactive one. Outcome of poor proprioceptive input would cause the problems of praxis and postural control. Because proprioception provides information about the position and movement of body and limb it is important for development of body scheme and motor planning. It also influences the arousal and emotional tone. Sensory integration intervention which provides rich proprioceptive activities will improve the level of arousal and enhance motor planning.

This paper proposes an experimental method for measuring the quality of experience to measure the influence of the participants' immersion, satisfaction, and presence according to the application of sensory effects to 360-degree video. Participants of the experiment watch 360-degree videos using HMD and receive sensory effects using scent diffusing devices and wind devices. Subsequently, a questionnaire was conducted on the degree of immersion, satisfaction, and present feelings for the video you watched. By analyzing the correlation of the survey results, we found that the provision of sensory effects satisfies the 360-degree video viewing, and the experimental method was appropriate. In addition, using the P.910 method, a result was derived that was not suitable for measuring the quality of the immersion and presence of 360-degree video according to the provision of sensory effects.
