Objective: The purposes of this experiment are an analysis of accuracy between target force level and subjective rating for the Target Force Level and an analysis of the patterns of subjective rating depending on target force level when there is no feedback from males for analysis. Background: The study of perceived exertion about the static contraction is processed with using among the matching procedure method between contralateral limbs, Exertion vs. Borg CR-10 scale and Exertion vs. %MVC (Maximum Voluntary Contraction). However, when there is no feedback, there is lack of the study on whether the subject can distinguish the subjective rating of the force depending on the target force levels. Method: Total 30 males, healthy subjects are measured the maximum grip strength, MVC, and then, each subject is measured the subjective rating and the accuracy with the random target force level (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90% MVC). Results: In the MVC study, males exerted 256.87N (${\pm}51.33$). In the subjective rating of grip strength increased for each Target Force Level (9 levels), higher subjective rating evaluated (p<0.05). In accuracy examination between target force level and subjective rating of grip strength by each %MVC, 10, 30, 40, 50, 70, 90% target force levels showed accurate strength (p>0.05). However, at 20% target force level, the subjects evaluated less subjective rating of grip strength than the target force (Underestimation), and at 60% and 80% target force level, the subjects evaluated more subjective rating of grip strength than the target force (Overestimation) (p<0.05). Conclusion: In the experiment, the MVC showed 256.87N (${\pm}51.33$) for the male adults and as the subjective rating value increased for each Target Force Level (9 levels), higher subjective rating evaluated (p<0.05). Moreover, the results of the accuracy test between target forces and subjective rating of the subjects showed that most participants rated a fairly accurate assessment of subjective rating of grip strength for Target Force Level (9 levels), except for 20%, 60%, and 80%MVC. Application: This experimental result would be used for basic data for the subjective rating of grip strength pattern by the target force level when the voluntary muscle is contracted.

This study was designed to compare the translated patient's subjective rating scales for voice evaluation (Voice Handicap Index; VHI, Voice-Related Quality of Life; V-RQOL, Voice Rating Score; VRS) into Korean, taken from 24 professional voice users diagnosed with organic voice disorders. First, the correlation amongh those scales were observed. Second, the correlation between the patient's subjective rating scales and acoustic measures (Jitter%, Shimmer%, NHR) were examined. Third, those scales were compared by clinician's objective scale (G in GRBAS scale). Results indicated that significant correlations among the patients' subjective rating scales and significant correlations of clinician's rating scale with jitter% and Shimmer%, but not with NHR were observed. In addition, there were significant correlations of G with VHI and VHI-P (one of subscale of VHI). However, none of acoustic measures were correlated with the patient's subjective rating scales.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of gender (male, female) and grip spans (45, 50, 60, 70, 80mm) on total grip strength, resultant force, finger force and subjective discomfort rating. Background: In order to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, studies of hand tools need to be preceded based on grip strength, finger force, and subjective discomfort rating. However, experimental apparatus using tools such as pliers that reflect the actual work place was almost non-existent. Method: Fifty-Two (26 males and 26 females) participants were recruited from the student population. In this study, a pair of revised pliers, which can change grip span from 45 to 80mm was applied to estimate total grip strength, resultant force and individual finger forces. All participants were asked to exert a maximum grip force with three repetitions, and to report the subjective discomfort rating for five grip spans of pliers (45, 50, 60, 70, 80mm). Results: There were significant differences of total grip strength, resultant force, individual finger forces and subjective discomfort rating according to grip span. The lowest total grip strength was obtained from the grip span of 80mm for both genders. For resultant force, the highest resultant force was exerted at grip spans of 50, 60 and 70mm for females and 50 and 60mm for males. The lowest subjective discomfort rating was observed in the 50mm for both genders. Conclusion: Based on the result, 50mm and 60mm grip spans which provide the highest force and lowest discomfort rating might be recommendable for the male and female pliers users. Application: The findings of this study can provide guidelines on designing a hand tool to help to reduce hand-related musculoskeletal disorders and obtain better performance.

주관적 음성평가는 음향분석기기를 이용한 객관적 음성 평가와 함께 음성분석에 유용하고 의미있는 평가방법이며 현재 알려진 검시법정 중에서 GRBAS 음성평가, VHI, patient self-perceptual voice rating이 가장 널리 사용되고 있고 인정받는 방법이다. 주관적 음성평가는 음성의 상태를 모두 대변할 수은 없으며 객관적인 음성평가에 대한 보완적인 의미를 가진다. 현재 개발되어 있는 주관적 음성평가 방법들이 유용한 평가도구이긴 하지만 나름대로의 문제점과 제한점을 가지고 있기 때문에 이에 대한 개선과 보완을 위한 지속적인 연구와 개발이 요구된다.

To quantify a mental workload for office workers, nine element tasks were classified for office work. There were oral comprehension, written comprehension, oral expression, written expression, calculation, memorization, thinking, and classification materials. Among nine element tasks, oral comprehension, written comprehension, written expression, and thinking were selected and the degrees of conflicts between concurrently performed element tasks were measured and analyzed through the experiment. The measures were performance and subjective rating. The results were as follows. The written comprehension- written expression pair was showed the highest conflict value in terms of performance and subjective rating. The written comprehension-thinking pair was the lowest conflict value in terms of performance, while the oral comprehension-thinking pair was the lowest condlict value in terms of performance, while the oral comprehension- written expression pair was the lowest conflict value in terms of subjective rating. The findings are expected to be used for assessing workload for the office work.

영상 품질의 주관적 측정을 위한 다양한 표준 방법들이 제시되었으나, 이들 방법들은 원본 기준 영상이 존재하는 환경에서 10초 내외의 짧은 시간의 시청을 기반으로 한다. 그러나, IPTV 시청 환경에서는 장시간의 시청(예를들어 30분이상)이 이루어지므로, 표준 방법들에서의 10초 시간 주기의 평가는 현실적으로 적절하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 IPTV 제공 환경에서 주관적 화질 평가를 위하여, 평가 주기 변화가 MOS에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 IPTV의 주관적 화질 평가에 적합한 평가 주기를 선정하기 위한 방안을 제시한다.

This study examined the various pathways from peer relationships to subjective well-being through self-esteem in late childhood. A total of 354 fifth and sixth grade students in elementary school (189 boys and 165 girls) participated in the study. Peer relationships were assessed using the peer rating scale, and self-esteem and subjective well-being were measured using the self-rating scales. The data were analyzed by means of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Children's peer relationships affected their subjective well-being directly, as well as indirectly through their self-esteem. Positive relations with peers enabled children to improve their subjective well-being. In addition, those children who possessed good relationships with peers were more likely to perceive themselves as worthy, which led to higher overall levels of happiness and satisfaction in their lives. The study emphasizes the crucial influence of self-esteem on school-aged children's subjective well-being.
