  • This paper introduces alert fatigue and presents methods to measure alert fatigue by using physiological signals. Alert fatigue is a phenomenon that which an individual is constantly exposed to frequent alarms and becomes desensitized to them. Blind spots are one leading cause of struck-by accidents, which is one most common causes of fatal accidents on construction sites. To reduce such accidents, construction equipment is equipped with an alarm system. However, the frequent alarm is inevitable due to the dynamic nature of construction sites and the situation can lead to alert fatigue. This paper introduces alert fatigue and proposes methods to use physiological signals such as electroencephalography, electrodermal activity, and event-related potential for the measurement of alert fatigue. Specifically, this paper presents how raw data from the physiological sensors measuring such signals can be processed to measure alert fatigue. By comparing the processed physiological data to behavioral data, validity of the measurement is tested. Using preliminary experimental results, this paper validates that physiological signals can be useful to measure alert fatigue. The findings of this study can contribute to investigating alert fatigue, which will lead to lowering the struck-by accidents caused by blind spots.

  • 소아청소년기에 뼈의 통증은 일차진료에서 흔히 접할 수 있는 문제이다. 대부분은 성장통이나 스포츠 활동과 관련된 물리적인 원인에 의한 것이지만 급성 림프구성 백혈병, 신경모세포종, 원발성 골종양 등의 악성종양이 뼈의 통증으로 발현하는 경우도 있다. 뼈의 통증을 호소하는 소아청소년 중 악성종양으로 진단 받는 환자는 1% 미만으로 그 빈도가 매우 낮지만 진단과 적절한 치료가 지체되면 환아의 예후에 악영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 어떠한 경우에 악성종양을 의심해야 하는지 숙지해야 한다. 환아가 잠을 잘 수 없을 정도로 심한 뼈의 통증을 2주 이상 호소하며, 발열, 피로감, 야간발한 등의 전신증상이 동반되거나 림프절 비대, 간비장 비대, 사지 혹은 배가 부어 보이고 덩어리가 만져지면 CBC with differential count, 말초혈액 바른검사, CRP, ESR, 단순 방사선 촬영을 시행해야 한다. 위의 검사결과 이상소견이 발견되면 즉시 소아청소년 혈액종양 전문의에게 의뢰를 해야 할 것이다.

  • Objectives : This case report presents a 68-year-old female patient. Her chief complaint was fatigue and depressed mood. During the therapeutic period, she experienced a sudden onset of unconsciousness. After two days, she became alert. We diagnosed her with conversion disorder. Methods : We treated her with Korean traditional herbal medicine (Chungsimyeonja-eum, Soum-In Bojungyikgi-tang, Hyeongbangjiwhang-tang) and oriental psychotherapy for 21 days. The effects of treatment were measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Zung Depression Rating Scale (SDS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-X-1). Results : After treatment, the chief complaint and accompanying symptoms have been subsided and improved. Further, BDI, SDS, STAI-X-1 score were decreased. Conclusions : In this case, we recognized that Korean traditional herbal medicine and oriental psychotherapy could be effective for clinical symptoms of conversion disorder.

  • This paper was done to verify the use of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) which was developed by McNair, Lorr, and Droppleman(1992) with modifications so that it is appropriate for Korean elders. Through the modified tool, it is possible to examine the mood of Korean elders and to contribute to the welfare of elders. The subjects were 370 elderly persons over 60 years old and the data for 319 persons(86%) were analyzed. The research tool was the POMS translated by Yun(1993) and corrected by the researcher. Data were collected between February 12 and April 9 in 1996 and analyzed using the SAS package. The result are as follows 1. Items with low Cronbach coefficient alpha which means low correlation with total items were removed. The items were removed : friendly, tense, considerate, relaxed, sympathetic, resentful, good-natured, rebellious, trusting, carefree. 2. Overlapped or ambiguous items were discussed by colleagues and elders through verification of con-tent-validity and were removed. Five items were removed in tense-anxiety, seven, in depression-dejection, three, in vigor-activity, three, in fatigue-inertia, two, in confusion-bewilder-ment, five, in friendliness, and six, in anger-hostility. Thirty four items remainined : angry, clear-headed, lively, confused, sorry, shaky, list-less, peeved, sad, active, blue, hopeless, spiteful, uneasy, unable to concentrate, fatigued, helpful, nervous, lonely, cheerful, bitter, exhausted, anxious, ready to fight, sluggish, helpless, alert, deceived, efficient, worthless, forgetful, terrified, vigorous, and uncertain about things. 3. Factor analysis was done in order to confirm construct validity and three factors were obtained from the result. The first factor, 'anxiety-depression' included 21 items, the second factor, 'vigor' included eight items, and the third factor, 'anger' included five items. Cronbach coefficient alpha for the 34 items was. 95. Based on the result, the following is suggested : 1. a contribute to elder's welfare can be made by examining Korean elder's mood in life. 2. there is a need to develop tools appropriate to Korean culture which can be used to examine elders' mood. 3. The modified POMS tool needs to be reverified with appropriate age groups and settings.

  • 대한민국 중앙부처, 지방자치단체는 코로나 19가 급속도로 확산하는 팬데믹 상황에서 재난상황 극복을 위해 재난대응에 필요한 정보를 재난문자를 통해 제공하였다. 재난문자는 국민들이 가장 많이 접하는 재난정보 전달수단으로서, 휴대폰에 직접 방송하는 CBS(Cell Broadcast Service) 방식을 채택하고 있어 직접 찾아보는 수고스러움 없이 휴대폰을 통해 쉽게 정보를 접할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 지난 1년 1개월간(2020년 1월~2021년 1월) 서울특별시에 발송된 재난문자의 특성을 다양한 텍스트마이닝 방법론 등을 통해 도출하고 재난문자에 포함된 다양한 유형의 정보가 국민들의 이동 행태에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지를 서울특별시 지역구의 연령별 유동인구의 이동성을 통해 확인하였다. 각 문자에 포함된 주요 단어와 포함된 정보를 분류하는 과정을 거치고 포함된 단어를 기반으로 하는 문서 군집 분석 기법을 적용해 개별 발송 문자를 분석 단위로써 활용할 수 있도록 텍스트 분석을 시행하였다. 이후, 텍스트마이닝을 통해 추출한 재난문자의 특성이 지역별, 연령별 인구이동성에 미친 영향을 규명하였다. 구조화된 모형을 활용하여 재난정보가 인구이동성에 미치는 영향을 기본효과, 누적효과로 구분하여 측정하였다. 지자체가 보유한 재난문자 발송권한으로 인해 재난문자 발송 특성은 지자체별로 상이함을 계량 분석에 활용하였다. 분석 결과 인구이동성에 변화를 유발하는 정보유형은 연령별로 상이함을 확인할 수 있었다. 날짜와 순서에 관련된 정보는 60-70대의 인구이동성을 유의미하게 감소시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 온라인 정보는 20대의 이동성을 감소시켰고, 증상과 관련된 정보는 30대의 인구이동성을 감소시켰다. 한편, 방역 정책 준수를 당부하는 의미를 포함하는 규범적 단어 등은 전 연령의 인구이동성에 유의미한 변화를 불러일으키지 못함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 재난대응에 도움이 되는 유의미한 정보들만 재난문자에 포함되어야 함을 의미한다. 한편, 인구이동성에 유의미한 변화를 불러일으키는 정보유형 또한 재난문자가 반복됨에 따라 효과가 상쇄함을 음의 누적효과 추정 결과를 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Bee-venom Acupucture has good effect on pain control but We may be anxious about the problem of side-effect. Bee-venom components are composed of phospholipase $A_2$, hyaluronidase, melitin, apamin, MCD peptide, citrate and so on. Especially Apamin, MCD peptide and histamine cause severe reacting that is named Anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a clinical syndrome characterized by the acute system reaction of multiple organ systems to an IgE-mediated immunologic mediator release in previously sensitized individuals. Respiratory and dermatologic manifestations are the most commonly expressed clinical features of anaphylaxis, and a majority of anaphylactic reactions initially appear to be localized to these two systems. Anaphylatic reaction of bee-venom are expressed clinically ulticaria, itching sensation, erythema, dizziness, nausea, hypotension and so on. Especially ulticaria and erythema are end points of increased vascular permeability and vasodilatation at the other extreme of the clinical spectrum, Gastrointestinal mucosal edema and smooth muscle contraction can result in cramping abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Therefore, we have observed anaphylatic reaction of bee-venom in 11 patients, who visited WonKwang University Kunpo Oriental Medical Center, treated bee venom. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The patient distribution ratio, in regard to sex, was shown to be 1 : 2.67 for male to females. In regard to age, it was shown that people in their 30's was the most predominant case, followed by people in their 20's, 30's, 50's and 60's, respectively. 2. When Anaphylaxis was occured, it was observed to abnormality of CBC, LFT, IgE, IgG. 3. In regard to patient condition, it was observed that fatigue was most frequent. 4. In regard to the number of times and quantity of bee venom inj., it was observed that anaphylaxis is most frequent at 7-10 times(1.6-2.0cc) 5. In regard to duration of reaction, it was observed that people in their l0min' was most frequent. In disappearing duration of anaphylaxic reaction, The results showed under 60min lcases(9%), 60-120min 7cases(64%) and 180-240min 3cases(27%). 6. In symptoms of anaphylaxis, The results showed hypotension 8cases(19%), itching sensation 7cases(16%), nausea 4cases(9%), erythema 4cases(9%) and dizziness 4cases(9%). In mentality, The results showed drowsy 8case(73%) and alert 3cases(27%). 7. Generally, patients were treated with Avil, Dexa IM and PDS, peniramine, cimetidine, Q-zyme per os after H/S, N/S inj. $O_2$ was supplied according to patient's symptom. In 1 severe case, Dopamine was iv injected.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate risk factor found in the patients with stroke in physical therapy. A questionnaire survey was carried out for 130 the patients, who had comparatively alert mentality, hospitalized in kyung hee oriental medical hospital with stroke from January, 1st to May 31st, 1996. Major findings of this stuty were as follows. 1. The stroke patients 67(51.5%)were males and 63(48.5%) femals. The age groups of 50 to 69 years accounted for 67.6% of the total stroke patients are the highest. The job groups of commerce and business of patients 58.5%. The living groups of major citys of the revealed the highest incidence(40.8%). 2. There were 40 patients (30.8 %) who had hemorrhage related condions as the direct cause of their stroke, and 90 patients (69.2 %) who had cerebral infarction with no hemorrhaging as the cause. of the disease that the patients suffered from before their stroke, blood pressure related problems were most numberous 76 patients(58.5%) had such problems. 3. A month before their attack of stroke, were asked what thay thought could become the causes of their strokes. The most frequently mentioned answers were fatigue, drinking too much, and smoking, as chosen by 45 patients(34.6 %). 4. In regarding the relation between stress and stroke, (37.7%), of the surveyed belonged to the most numerous group had of people who said they were not under stress. Yet this group had a large number of parents. And 22.3 % of the surveyed named conflicts among parents, siblings, and relatives. 5. Questions were asked to find out the relationship between complications of stroke and smoking or drinking. It was surprising to see a high rate of attack among the 55.4 % majority who answered that they did not smoke nor drink. 6. To sum up the affect of food on attack of stroke, 42.5% of the people who had a sprcey and salty diet had a higher rate of attack then the group of people with leisurely nature. 7. Looking at the family history, 40.4% of the patients said their parents also suffered the disease. This percentage is the highest. And 40.0% answered that there is no one who suffered in their family history. Judging from the percentages and family.
