  • 본 논문은 어린이나 노약자, 손이 불편한 장애우 등이 컴퓨터의 타자 실력을 증가시키기 위한 타자게임을 설계 구현하였다. 이 게임의 구성은 화면에 임의의 단어가 나타나는 한글이나 영문의 단어를 정해진 시간 안에 올바르게 치면 점수가 증가되고, 틀리게 치게 되면 점수가 감점되며, 올바르게 입력을 하면 앞서가는 벌레나 곤충을 잡을 수 있도록 따라가는 방식으로 되어 있다. 틀린 단어를 입력하면 앞서가는 벌레와 거리가 더 멀어지게 되며, 정해진 시간 안에 많은 단어의 입력을 하여 올바른 입력을 하면 앞서가는 벌레와 충돌되어 벌레를 없앨 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 이는 두되 계발을 촉진시키면서 키보드의 단어 입력과 같은 타자 실력을 증가시키기 위함이다. 흥미를 유발하면서도 타자 실력과 키보드의 글자의 위치를 암기할 수 있는 장점이 있으며 정서적으로도 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Postoperative stroke is uncommon even in elderly patients, who have a higher incidence of all types of postoperative complications. The mechanism of postoperative stroke is not certain, but can be explained by intravascular clottings originated from thrombus or embolus or by intracranial hemorrhage. In a 66-year-old male patient with current hypertension medication, who underwent both neck dissection for malignancy metastasis under general anesthesia, the left hemiparesis and delayed emergency were found postoperatively. After transferred to intensive care unit, he got the thrombolytic therapy and then the therapies to decrease the swelling of the brain on the diagnosis of cerebral infarction in the vascular distribution of the middle cerebral artery. A brain MRI definitely showed the midline deviation to the left of the right brain hemisphere due to the progressing edematous changes. As he got worse, the emergency neurosurgical operation was proposed but rejected by his family. He died at postoperative 3 days. In this hypertensive patient. perioperative stroke could be originated from the surgical stimuli on major vessels, which were inevitable in neck dissection during the operation. We report this case of the postoperative stroke, which could be highly possible to be associated with extensive head and neck surgery.

  • Objectives: Many studies have explored the relationship between short-term weather and its health effects (including pneumonia) based on mortality, although both morbidity and mortality pose a substantial burden. In this study, the authors aimed to describe the influence of meteorological factors on the number of emergency room (ER) visits due to pneumonia in Seoul, Korea. Methods: Daily records of ER visits for pneumonia over a 6-year period (2009-2014) were collected from the National Emergency Department Information System. Corresponding meteorological data were obtained from the National Climate Data Service System. A generalized additive model was used to analyze the effects. The percent change in the relative risk of certain meteorological variables, including pneumonia temperature (defined as the change in average temperature from one day to the next), were estimated for specific age groups. Results: A total of 217 776 ER visits for pneumonia were identified. The additional risk associated with a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in pneumonia temperature above the threshold of $6^{\circ}C$ was 1.89 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37 to 2.61). Average temperature and diurnal temperature range, representing within-day temperature variance, showed protective effects of 0.07 (95% CI, 0.92 to 0.93) and 0.04 (95% CI, 0.94 to 0.98), respectively. However, in the elderly (65+ years), the effect of pneumonia temperature was inconclusive, and the directionality of the effects of average temperature and diurnal temperature range differed. Conclusions: The term 'pneumonia temperature' is valid. Pneumonia temperature was associated with an increased risk of ER visits for pneumonia, while warm average temperatures and large diurnal temperature ranges showed protective effects.

  • 우리나라 법은 고연령자(高年齡者)를 지칭하는 용어로 여러 개를 혼용해 왔다. 본 연구는 법에서 고연령자는 누구이며, 고연령자를 어떤 사람으로 상정하고 어떻게 범주화하고 있는지에 관한 물음을 풀어보고, 고연령자를 지칭하는 명명이 갖는 의미를 비판적으로 고찰해보려고 한다. 2011년 10월 20일 현재 시행중인 법령과 1948년 7월 17일 대한민국헌법 제정 이후부터 현재까지 시행되었던 법령을 검토대상으로 삼았다. 연구 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 법규정상에서 고연령자에 대한 명명은 노쇠자, 노인, 고령자, 노령자, 노약자 등 다양한 용어를 통해서 이루어져왔다. 이러한 명명이 고연령자 집단을 연령을 기준으로 구분함으로써 이루어진 것은 아니다. 법에서 가장 빈번하게 사용하고 있는 '노인'과 '고령자' 명칭을 살펴본 결과, 현재 우리사회의 고연령자에 대한 인식과 의미구성의 차이를 찾아볼 수 있었다. 사회적 보호 대상으로서 부정적 의미가 내포된 기표로서 '노인'이라는 명칭이 사용되고, 생산성을 지닌 존재로서의 기표는 상대적으로 중립적인 평가를 받는 '고령자'라는 명칭이 주로 사용되는 경향을 통해서 고연령자 집단에 대한 사회적 가치 부여를 내비친다고 할 수 있다.

  • Background: This study hypothesized that increased muscle activity and balancing ability of the gluteus maximus during toe-tap exercise. Design: Cross sectional Study. Methods: After hearing the explanation of the experiment, the subjects performed a Star excursion balance test and measured the Maximum Voluntary Isomeric Contraction (MVIC). After toe-tap exercise, the MVIC was measured again and the Star excursion balance test was measured. Results: There was no significant difference in activity of gluteus muscle before and after the toe-tap exercise. There was a significant difference in the balance ability in the lateral, posterolateral, and posterior sides of the non-superior foot, but there was no significant difference in the anterior, anterolateral, posteromedial, medial, and anteromedial sides. In the case of superior foot, there were significant differences in six directions, with the exception of anterolateral and lateral sides. Conclusion: The pelvic stabilizing "gluteus maximus" exercises for balance, which is currently on the table, has many high-level exercises that are hard to do unless you're an athlete. But the Toe-tap exercise is also possible for the elderly and weak women.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study to develop a fringed fall prevention program based on King's goal attainment theory and education. This study is applied to the personal, interpersonal, and social systems of fall high-risk patients to test its effects. Methods: This study was a nonequivalent control group pre- and post-test design. There were 52 fall high-risk patients in the experimental group and 45 in the control group. The experimental group received six sessions, with the group sessions lasting 60 minutes and the individual sessions lasting 20~30 minutes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an ${\chi}^2-test$, a paired sample t-test, and a Wilcoxon signed-ranks test utilizing IBM SPSS software. Results: For the 3-month intervention period, the fall prevention program was found to be particularly effective for patients in the experimental group (from 3.38 to 1.69 per 1000 patient days; p=.044), as opposed to the control group (from 1.94 to 1.49 per 1000 patient days; p=.300). For the 6-month follow up period, the fall prevention program was again found to be effective for patients in the experimental group (from 3.26 to 0.76 per 1000 patient days; p=.049) compared to the control group (from 1.98 to 1.01 per 1000 patient days; p=.368). Conclusion: These results indicate that the fringed fall prevention program is very effective in reducing falls, not only during the intervention period, but also after the intervention period has ended. We can therefore recommend this program for use concerning fall high-risk patients in long-term care hospitals.

  • Background : The Life cycle Health Promotion Programs using Traditional Korean Medicine (the Life cycle HaPPs-TKM) are the on-going 3rd stage projects that have centered on the development and dissemination of the standard life cycle HaPPs-TKM in the local community. The purpose of the study was to introduce the development background of the standard life cycle HaPPs-TKM and to suggest its activation plan. Methods : Academic and government research reports on the life cycle HaPPs-TKM were analyzed to introduce the development process, development backgrounds and the details of KM-HPP for each life cycle, such as infants and toddlers, adolescents, pregnant women, adults and the elderly. Results : We reviewed the development process of the standard life cycle HaPP-TKM consisted of a series of diagnosis on community members' health problems, establishment of project purpose, research on the involvement of KM intervention in a project, and final development of the project model. And we rediscovered that in the development backgrounds of KM-HPP, there were beneficial goals to manage and promote public health conditions for each life cycle. Conclusion : To activate life cycle HaPPs-TKM, we would recommend that activation plan should include six factors through systematic analysis of research reports. These factors consist of diversified goals for each life-cycle, competency reinforcement of local project manager, diversified Korean Medicinal modalities to enhance Sasang Constitution and Qigong, development of standard Outcome Index, periodical holding of performance contest, and improved guidance of government and associated entities through whole process of HaPP-TKM.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to provide basic data to lay the groundwork for the introduction of an advanced dental hygienist system by sampling dental hygienists' views about the system. Methods: A nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 857 dental hygienists working at dental hospitals and clinics, local health institutions, and educational institutions. The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (Duncan as post-analysis), and crossover analysis. Results: The average interest level in the advanced dental hygienist system was 3.83±0.95 points. The necessity by field was confirmed to be the highest during dental hygiene for the elderly and persons with disabilities. The working experience necessary for becoming a specialized dental hygienist is 5.56±2.99 (years). The education period necessary for becoming a specialized dental hygienist is 77.30±77.61 (hours). The work authority level for an advanced dental hygienist was indicated to be 50 respondents (5.8%), who said they required direct guidance from a dentist, 313 respondents (48.2%) who said they needed indirect guidance from a dentist, 200 respondents (23.3%) who said OK when given an advanced dental hygienist's separate judgment, 194 respondents (22.6%), who said that the authority must be varied depending on the work. Conclusions: The interest and need of the advanced dental hygienist system were proven to be high and are expected to be applied to basic data for the introduction and settlement of the system.

  • Purpose : This study aims to investigate the awareness of occupational therapists among managers and directors of adult day care centers in Korea to explore the cause of the low employment rate of these therapists and offer the results as basic data that can be used to expand occupational therapy at adult day care centers. Methods : This study collected data by conducting an online questionnaire with managers and directors of adult day care centers located in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju, and Ulsan. A total of 70 completed questionnaires were divided into two groups a 'group with experience in occupational therapy information (OT experience)' and a 'group with no experience in occupational therapy information (OT inexperience)' and analyzed. Results : First, the 'OT experience' was found to have higher levels of awareness of the scope of work of occupational therapists than the 'OT inexperience'. Second, significant differences were found in the degree of awareness and necessity of occupational therapists and plans to employ occupational therapists later between the 'OT experience' and the 'OT inexperience'. Third, it was shown that there were significant correlations between whether the respondents were familiar with occupational therapy and the degree of awareness and necessity of occupational therapists and plans to employ occupational therapists later. Conclusion : Based on these findings, the following measures are recommended to expand the area of occupational therapy in adult day care centers, the need for occupational therapists should be mentioned in the health and welfare-related education for workers at these adult day care centers, policies such as a medical fee system for occupational therapy at these adult day care centers should be prepared.
