The number of North Korean refugees entering South Korea is continuously increasing. North Korean speakers show significant differences in vowel and consonant phonetics, length of vowels, and the rhythm and intonation of sentences. The object of this research was to examine the effectiveness of a speech intervention program for North Korean refugees using visual feedback through acoustical analysis for intonation. The subjects were three adults with no speech disabilities who had been in South Korea for less than five years. They had not received any prior treatment for inflection change. The program was set in a discourse situation and used Praat to evaluate intonation and provide visual feedback as demonstrating proper intonation changes through pitch contour. The results after intervention are as follows. First, intonation was significantly improved according to a 5-point subjective evaluation scale. Second, the pitch contour was similar to the contour of standard South Korean pronunciation. The subjects were very satisfied with this initial treatment and showed a high level of motivation. In subsequent study, the development of intervention and the comparison of interventions will be needed as well.

Push-up plus has been advocated for increasing the activity of the serratus anterior muscle, the most critical scapular stabilizer. However, no previous study has reported the possibility of compensatory motion on the part of the pectoralis major, which could substitute for the action of the serratus anterior during push-up plus. The aim of the current study was to investigate the immediate effect of electromyography (EMG) biofeedback of the pectoralis major muscle on the pectoralis major, upper trapezius, and serratus anterior muscles during push-up plus. Fourteen healthy young subjects voluntarily participated in this study; each subject performed push-up plus from the quadruped position, in two conditions (i.e., with or without visual and auditory biofeedback). Surface EMG was used to measure pectoralis major, serratus anterior, and upper trapezius activity. A paired t-test was used to determine any statistically significant difference between the two conditions. Additionally, effect size was calculated to quantify the magnitude of EMG biofeedback in each muscle. Visual and auditory feedback reduced pectoralis major muscle activity significantly (p=.000) and increased the serratus anterior muscle activity significantly (p=.002), but did not induce a significant difference in upper trapezius muscle activity (p=.881). Thus, it is concluded that the visual and auditory feedback of pectoralis major muscle activity can be used to facilitate serratus anterior muscle activity during push-up plus.

This study was conducted to develop wearable products with visual and auditory feedback aimed at promoting exercise interest in children. Here we determined the theoretical characteristics of cognitive and motor function development during childhood, empirical characteristics of children's motor functions, and factors that encourage exercise using natural observation and in-depth interview research methods. The questionnaire assessed children's motor ability, intensively trained body parts in sports programs, types of training or classes that improve the motor ability of each muscle group, significantly considered aspects of children's sports programs, and factors that promote children's interest in exercise. Our results suggest that the development of sport programs comprising varied exercise options that enhance body and limb movements are needed for balanced growth. Furthermore, it is very important to provide motivation for regular exercise and appropriate feedback, such as praise and encouragement, to maintain interest in exercise. This study identifies the standards for developing products that peak children's interest in exercise and the basis for a physically and mentally healthy society.

This study attempted to compare acoustic parameters, physiological observation and perceptual evaluation values obtained from the treatment and control groups in order to find out which of the self voice feedback therapies was better and which methods to train them were more effective. The experimental group carried out various self voice feedback therapies while the control group did only vocal hygiene. The acoustic measurement and voice manipulation for providing the patients visual, auditory feedback were done by a speech analysis software, Praat. The authors designed vocal hygiene, abdominal respiration and Praat self voice feedback therapies and applied them to 15 patients while applying only one vocal hygiene to 15 of the control group. For the purpose of examining the degree of their voice improvement after the treatment, pre- mid- and final evaluations were made for the two groups at the beginning, the 6th week and immediately after the 8th treatment session. Results of this study were as follows: The treatment group showed much improvement after receiving the voice treatment. In particular, acoustical and physiological indices from the optical endoscopy, pitch variation(Jitter), amplitude variation (Shimmer), maximum phonation time(MPT), and psychoacoustic evaluation showed statistically significant improvements over the control groups.

대화형 AI 스피커가 보편화되면서 음성인식은 자율주행 상황에서의 중요한 차량-운전자 인터랙션 방식으로 인식되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 반자율주행 상황에서 음성뿐만 아니라 AI 캐릭터의 시각적 피드백을 함께 전달하는 멀티모달 인터랙션이 음성 단일 모드 인터랙션보다 사용자 경험 최적화에 효과적인지를 확인하는 것이다. 실험 참가자에게 주행 중 AI 스피커와 캐릭터를 통해 음악 선곡과 조정을 위한 인터랙션 태스크를 수행하게 하고, 정보 및 시스템 품질, 실재감, 지각된 유용성과 용이성, 그리고 지속 사용 의도를 측정하였다. 평균차이 분석 결과, 대부분의 사용자 경험 요인에서 시각적 캐릭터의 멀티모달 효과는 나타나지 않았으며, 지속사용 의도에서도 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 오히려, 정보품질 요인에서 음성 단일 모드가 멀티모달보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 운전자의 인지적 노력이 필요한 반자율주행 단계에서는 멀티모달 인터랙션이 단일 모드 인터랙션에 비해 사용자 경험 최적화에 효과적이지 않았다.

Wearable smart products contributed to expand the concept of modern clothing in terms of closer communication between wearers and the surrounding environment. This study investigated the concept of wearable smart actuators and characteristics of actuating feedback. The representative product development trends over the past 10 years are examined based on the method of actuating feedback. A first keyword search from Naver and Google reused to select the final 58 products based on the second key keyword actuating feedback. The wearable smart actuator system works in a similar way to a human body system such as those of the information processing process. Actuating feedback is delivered directly to the user as the last signal of the system, which has visual, auditory and tactile feedback. It works in complex at the device to be delivered to the user. Actuator feedback is divided into three types of active and passive, depending on the user situation, the overall purpose of the product, the collected information, and the device dependency. Active actuating feedback determines and actuates the situation on behalf of the user when the user is in an emergency or a disability situation. Passive actuating feedback plays a role in environmental monitoring to help in a healthy daily life.

목 적: 호흡동조방사선치료 시 호흡에 따른 종양의 위치를 정확하게 파악하여 치료하기 위해서는 안정되고 일정한 호흡유지가 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서 Real time monitor와 Ventilator를 이용하여 측정한 호흡유지방법을 소개하고 그 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 7명의 실험자를 대상으로 하여 Gate on time (Beam on time) 600초를 기준으로 실험자를 총 5개의 그룹 -자연 호흡, Monitor를 이용하여 유도한 호흡, Ventilator를 이용하여 유도한 호흡, Monitor와 Ventilator를 동시에 이용하여 유도한 호흡, 실험자 스스로 Real time monitor를 이용하여 주기적 Breath-hold 상태를 유지하는 호흡- 으로 분류 하였다. 분류 후 ANZAI 4D system을 이용하여 각각의 호흡신호를 획득 하였다. 호흡신호별 총 소요 시간을 비교하고 호흡주기 상의 Gate on/off time 평균값, 표준편차, 분산, 평균 호흡 주기의 횟수와 변화 등을 각각 분석하여 호흡의 안정성을 평가 하였다. 동시에 실험자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 각 장치들의 의존성을 정성적으로 조사하였다. 결 과: 5개 그룹의 호흡신호 편차변화를 비교하여 실험자의 각 호흡신호 안정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 모든 실험자는 Gate on time 600초 동안 소요되는 시간이 Monitor와 Ventilator를 동시에 사용 했을 경우에 실험시간이 가장 짧게 걸렸고, 가장 안정된 호흡을 유지한 것으로 나타났다. 결 론: 본 연구에서 Real time monitor와 Ventilator를 사용하여 호흡유도를 진행해본 결과 실험대상자들의 안정적인 호흡유지에 유용성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2개의 장비를 독립적으로 사용하였을 경우 보다 동시에 사용할 경우 호흡유지 안정도가 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. Real time monitor와 Ventilator를 이용하여 환자의 호흡조건을 설정하여 환자에게 적용시킨다면 호흡조절방사선치료 시 치료의 정확도를 높일 수 있으리라 예상되며 동시에 치료시간도 단축될 것으로 사료된다. 특히 규칙적인 호흡조절이 가능한 환자의 경우 Real time monitor를 활용한 Breath-hold 방법의 활용은 치료시간 단축의 효과를 현저히 높일 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
