The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of the 8-week, 15-session group art therapy program on self-esteem and mental health status in chronic schizophrenic inpatients. The sample consisted of two groups of chronic schizophrenic inpatients: 10 patients with an average of total disease duration of 8.90 years who participated in a 8-week group art therapy program, and 8 comparison subjects with an average of total disease duration of 8.25 years who did not participate in the program. A pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design was used to assess self-esteem and mental health status at the beginning and at the end of the 8-week, 15-session group art therapy program. The time points for obtaining data were matched for both groups. The effectiveness of the 8-week group art therapy program was assessed by Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale(Rosenberg, 1965) and SCL-90- R(Derogatis et al., 1973). SPSSWIN 8.0 was utilized for data entry and analysis employing Mann-Whitney U test. The findings of the study indicated the followings : (a) No significant differences were found between two groups in self-esteem and (b) The experimental group showed significantly lower scores in obsessive-compulsive symptom dimension and interpersonal sensitivity symptom dimension on the SCL-90-R than the comparison group after participating in the group art therapy program. In conclusion, the findings showed the possibility of applying group art therapy as an effective nursing intervention for patients with lack of verbal communication skills and social interaction to improve their interpersonal relationship.

The Paper aims to survey and analyze the meaning 'Absence of body' from clothes as non-verbal communication medium. Two types of absence of body from clothes are clothes as object because of removing body, and flattened colthes to deny the body form. In results of analysis, 1)the confrontation of male/female was represented by positive/negative, active/passive, present/absent. 2) male/female means social/private, body/clothing, relevant/irrelevant, subjective/additive. 3) one/numbers, simple/various, limited/free present the various way of waering. 4) tradition/contemporary is expressed by materials 5) enlarged clothes expresses the cynical attitude about body 6) inside/outside , one dress/layered dress suggest new concept to wear against traditional way of wearing.

Tele-Gesture is a tangible user interface(TUI) device that allows a user to physically point to a 3D object in real life and have their gestures play back by a robotic finger that can point to the same object, either at the same time, or at another point in time. To understand the extent of the gestures as new way of digital collaborative communication, collaboration situation and types were experimented as TUI implementations. The design prototype reveals that there is a rich non-verbal component of communication in the form of gesture-clusters and body movements that happen in an digital communication. This result of analysis can contribute to compile relevant contributions to the fields of communication, human behavior, and interaction with high technology through an interpretive social experience.

The goal of this research is a visual and auditory tool development enabling designers to have the same emotional value with users in the process of user centered design. Through the research, we intend to show the aid measure for making cognitive gaps narrow between users and designer in the process of transforming and understanding the emotional needs as a verbal image. because In the business practice of design, most of tools and techniques for assessment and analysis of emotional needs are those used usually in the marketing fields. So the information generated and transformed from users to designers have a form of physical words. When the designer's understanding of the emotional needs is considered as a product mediated communication process, the morphologic and cognitive information gaps become obvious. This difference could be a false basis in designing with emotional user needs. So the alternative needs assessment sub-tools of visual and auditory information form was embodied mainly for designer's cognitive gaps and inter-cultural emotional needs assessment. As the method of embodiment, Firstly, adjectives related to emotion were classified in their cognitive dimension. Secondly, visual and auditory data were extracted, and then the relativity verified. Finally, the practicality and effectiveness were tested through the database generation. In view of the results so far achieved, 1. We could find being of the big information cognitive gaps in the verbal assessment of emotional needs between designers and users. 2. With the visual and auditory assessment tool, we could make the big cognitive gaps narrower than we expected. 3. Also, we could find the chance that the fidelity, recognition, and friendliness of design for emotional user needs would become better.

미국에 이민 온 한 한국가정을(정씨 가족) 대상으로 세 번의 면담 (interview) 및 art session을 통해서 이 핵가족 및 확대가족을 다음과 같은 방법으로 분석하여 가족의 유형(family Pattern)과 관계된 이론적 모델(Theocratical model)을 理이해하고 변화되고 있는 Health Program에 있어 간호원이 "변화인자(change agent)"로써의 역활을 재발견하고자한다. 이러한 방법은 가족 및 간호과학에 새로운 접근법이며 간호의 영역이 얼마만큼 확대될 수 있는가를 나타내고 있다. (1) Toman의 Family Cnstellation 이론과 일치되는 점 및 일치되지 않는 점 (2) 한국인 핵가족에서 관찰된 비언어적 의사소통(non-verbal communication)및 이것과 Scheflen의 이론과의 관계 (3) family Theory Bowen의 "differentiation of self"와 "family projection Process"이론에 의한 분석 (4) 핵가족에서 관찰된 상호작용 유형(interactional pattern)을 분석 (5) Art Session을 통해서 관찰된 사항 및 Critique 결과적으로 이 핵가족은 사회적 가치관이 변화된데서 오는 갈등에 직면하고 있다. 우리 나라의 확대가족에서 강조된 경치관은 가족을 하나의 전체로써 보는 "우리 (we-ness)"였는데 이것은 일상사용하고 있는 언어에도 영향을 미치고 있는 것을 볼 수 있어 즉, "내 동생 (my sister)"이라고 하는 대신 "우리 동생 (our sister)"이라고 하는데 여기에서 언어가 뜻하는 의미와는 거리가 먼 것을 알 수 있다. 정씨 부부는 미국적 정치관을 인식해서 그들의 상호작용 유형을 긍정적이고 개방적인 토의방법으로(positive open-discuses) 접근해야 한다. 이 핵가족의 부부는 둘 다 유교사상이 강조된 가정에서 자라나, 이 부부가 결혼한지 오 년이나 되었으나 언어적 의사소통이 (verbal communication)굉장히 제한된 것을 쓸 수 있다. 인간의 경험들은 인간이 접하고 있는 사회와의 상호작용에 의해서 결정된다. 사회가 배화함에 따라서 가족도 변화할 것이다. "변화는 언제나 사회에서 부터 가족으로 온다. 이 변화는 절대 작은 단위에서 큰 단위로 오는 것이 아니다.…그러나 가족구조는(family structure) 환경이 변화함에 따라서 적응해야 한다."라고 Minuchin이 지적한 것 같이 정씨 부부가 직면하고 있는 여러 가지 갈등은 이 핵가족이 그들의 가치관 및 상호 작용유형을 변형(repattering) 시키므로써, 복잡하고 다양한 미국사회에서 성장할 수 있는 좋은 기회를 만들어 주고 있다. 세 번의 면담시간은 각 30분이었으나 Volume 생략한 것을 부기하여 둔다.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder associated with cognitive and neurobehavioral disorders. It affects the person's behavior and performance. Autism affects verbal and non-verbal communication in social interactions. Early screening and diagnosis of ASD are essential and helpful for early educational planning and treatment, the provision of family support, and for providing appropriate medical support for the child on time. Thus, developing automated methods for diagnosing ASD is becoming an essential need. Herein, we investigate using various machine learning methods to build predictive models for diagnosing ASD in children using facial images. To achieve this, we used an autistic children dataset containing 2936 facial images of children with autism and typical children. In application, we used classical machine learning methods, such as support vector machine and random forest. In addition to using deep-learning methods, we used a state-of-the-art method, that is, automated machine learning (AutoML). We compared the results obtained from the existing techniques. Consequently, we obtained that AutoML achieved the highest performance of approximately 96% accuracy via the Hyperpot and tree-based pipeline optimization tool optimization. Furthermore, AutoML methods enabled us to easily find the best parameter settings without any human efforts for feature engineering.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by impairments in social interaction and verbal and nonverbal communication. Purpose: Determine the association between use of assisted reproduction technology (ART) and the risk of ASD among children. Methods: This case-control study included 300 participants (100 cases, 200 controls). The control group included women with a child aged 2-10 years without ASD, while the cases were women with a child aged 2-10 years with ASD. We used a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Stata ver. 14 at the 0.05 significance level. Results: In the univariate analysis, there was significant association between child sex, delivery mode, history of preterm delivery, history of using ART, and maternal age at child's birth and the risk of ASD. After the adjustment for other variables, this association was significant for male sex (2.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-4.31; P=0.001) and history of using ART (4.03; 95% CI, 1.76-9.21; P=0.001). Therefore, after the adjustment for confounder variables, there was no significant association between ART and the risk of ASD among children (4.98; 95% CI, 0.91-27.30; P=0.065). Conclusion: After the adjustment for other variables, risk factors for ASD were male sex and history preterm delivery. Thus, there was no significant association between ART and the risk of ASD among children.
