PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if auditory cues velocity has a greater effect on the gait pattern of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) than the cues applied individually. METHODS: The subjects were 15 elderly patients diagnosed with PD, 15 healthy elderly persons. Patients were measured of three conditions performed in random order: slow, general, fast. The auditory cue velocity consisted of a metronome beat ${\pm}20%$ than the subject's general gait speed. Using a motion analysis and a force platform measurement system, changes in spatiotemporal variables, kinetic and kinematic variables were compared to gait analysis. RESULTS: Comparison between the auditory cues velocity, there was a significant difference in the spatiotemporal variables with regard to the cadence, stride length, support time, step length, double support time (p<.05). Comparison between the auditory cues velocity, there was a significant increase general and fast velocity gait than slow velocity gait in the maximum flexion in swing phase of knee joint (p<.05). There appears to be the aspect of an increasing ground reaction force (GRF) on the first peak in the vertical axis (p<.05). CONCLUSION: Auditory cues velocity improved of spatio-temporal factors, kinematic and kinetic factors depending on the velocity of the faster. Therefore at the rehabilitation training of PD patients auditory cues velocity would be used for recovery and gait reeducation, may arise through the patients functional ability.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a behavioral cue checklist (BCC) containing 17 items developed by Wilkes et al. (2010) for identifying potentially violent patients in emergency departments. Methods: This was a prospective observational study to evaluate the usefulness of the Korean version of a BCC (K-BCC) as an assessment tool for predicting patient violence in emergency departments, and was conducted over 4 weeks in a regional emergency medical center located in B City. A total of 1,324 patients were finally analyzed. Results: Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate whether each item of the K-BCC predicts violence, and a parsimonious set of 8 statistically significant items was selected for the tool. Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the BCC showed that the area under the curve was .97 (95% confidence interval: .94~1.0). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value at the cut-off score of 2 were 75.6%, 98.9%, 68.2%, and 99.2%, respectively. Conclusion: The K-BCC was found to be useful in predicting patient violence toward emergency department staff. This tool is simple, and fast to use and can play a significantly role identifying potentially violent patients. Owing to this advance identification, this tool can be helpful in preventing the potential for violence from manifesting as violent behaviors.

Pitch is a perception related to the subjective frequency that is one of the psychological aspects or attributes of tones. It is also an important factor to determine the sound quality together with loudness and timber. Although the study on pitch has been active in the field of speech communication, but its application to the product sound quality is not yet enough. In this study, the empirical data by Zwicker is made use in the modification of the currently available pitch extraction model based on the place theory. By applying this modified model to various sound samples composed of tonal or banded components, the applicability of the model is suggested. As a demonstration example, the algorithm is used for the sound quality analysis of a product noise having fundamental frequency and harmonics. The result shows that the pitch should be regarded as an important subjective cue in the sound quality analysis.

본 연구의 목적은 파킨슨병 환자의 청각 신호에 따른 보행 시, 상지 스윙의 비대칭과 진폭에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위함이다. 연구의 대상자는 초기 파킨슨병으로 진단받은 14명의 환자로, 청각 신호(빠른 속도, 일반적인 속도, 느린 속도)를 무작위 순서로 제공하여 보행을 실시하였다. 청각 신호 속도는 전자 메트로놈을 이용하여 대상자의 자연스러운 보행 속도보다 ${\pm}20%$ 속도를 적용하였다. 각각의 속도에 따른 청각 신호를 적용한 보행을 실시하는 동안, 동작분석기를 사용하여 보행 시 상지 스윙의 운동학적 변수를 비교 분석하였다. 정상 속도의 보행 시 파킨슨병 환자의 양측 상지 스윙 진폭의 비교에서는 더 많은 영향을 받은 쪽(MAS)의 상지 스윙 진폭에서 유의한 감소가 나타났다(p<.05). 청각 신호 속도에 따른 보행 시의 비교에서는 빠른 속도의 청각 신호를 적용한 보행 시 상지 스윙의 유의한 증가가 나타났다(p<.05). 본 연구의 결과를 통해 파킨슨 환자의 보행 시 양측 상지 스윙의 비대칭을 확인할 수 있었으며 또한 보행 시 빠른 청각 신호를 적용하는 경우, 파킨슨병 환자의 상지 스윙을 증가시켜 자연스러운 보행양상을 유도할 수 있으므로 중재 시 필요에 따라 적절한 속도의 청각 신호를 적용하여 보행훈련에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

It has been posited that in English, native listeners use the Metrical Segmentation Strategy (MSS) for the segmentation of continuous speech. Strong syllables tend to be perceived as potential word onsets for English native speakers, which is due to the high proportion of strong syllables word-initially in the English vocabulary. This study investigates whether Koreans employ the same strategy when segmenting speech input in English. Word-spotting experiments were conducted using vowel-initial and consonant-initial bisyllabic targets embedded in nonsense trisyllables in Experiment 1 and 2, respectively. The effect of strong syllable was significant in the RT (reaction times) analysis but not in the error analysis. In both experiments, Korean listeners detected words more slowly when the word-initial syllable is strong (stressed) than when it is weak (unstressed). However, the error analysis showed that there was no effect of initial stress in Experiment 1 and in the item (F2) analysis in Experiment 2. Only the subject (F1) analysis in Experiment 2 showed that the participants made more errors when the word starts with a strong syllable. These findings suggest that Koran listeners do not use the Metrical Segmentation Strategy for segmenting English speech. They do not treat strong syllables as word beginnings, but rather have difficulties recognizing words when the word starts with a strong syllable. These results are discussed in terms of intonational properties of Korean prosodic phrases which are found to serve as lexical segmentation cues in the Korean language.

The meta-analysis has become a widely used tool for many applications in bioinformatics, including genome-wide association studies. A commonly used approach for meta-analysis is the fixed effects model approach, for which there are two popular methods: the inverse variance-weighted average method and weighted sum of z-scores method. Although previous studies have shown that the two methods perform similarly, their characteristics and their relationship have not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, we investigate the optimal characteristics of the two methods and show the connection between the two methods. We demonstrate that the each method is optimized for a unique goal, which gives us insight into the optimal weights for the weighted sum of z-scores method. We examine the connection between the two methods both analytically and empirically and show that their resulting statistics become equivalent under certain assumptions. Finally, we apply both methods to the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium data and demonstrate that the two methods can give distinct results in certain study designs.

기후스마트농업(Climate-Smart Agriculture, CSA)이 성취되고 있는지에 대한 정량적인 평가방법을 구축하기 위해 타워 기반의 플럭스 관측 시계열 자료를 활용할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 벼농사가 지배적인 전형적인 비균질 농경지를 대상으로 CSA의 첫 번째 목표와 관련된 생산성과 효율성 평가를 시도하였다. 이를 위해 해남 농경지에 위치한 KoFlux 사이트(HFK)에서 2003년부터 2015년까지 벼의 생장기간 동안에 관측된 탄소, 물 및 에너지 플럭스의 시계열 자료를 분석하여 일련의 정량적인 지표들을 평가하였다. 이 연구기간 동안에 HFK에서는 네 가지의 다른 품종(동진 1호; 2003-2008, 남평; 2009, 온누리; 2010-2011, 새누리; 2012-2015)의 벼가 경작되었다. 전반적으로 품종을 구분하지 않을 경우, 연구기간 동안의 HFK의 총일차생산(GPP)은 800 - 944 g C m-2, 물사용효율(WUE)은 1.91 - 2.80 g C kg H2O-1, 탄소사용효율(CUE)은 1.06 - 1.34, 그리고 광사용효율(LUE)은 0.99 - 1.55 g C MJ-1이었다. 벼 이외의 다른 식생이 포함된 HFK의 비균질성을 고려하여 어림 잡아 비교해 보면, 네 품종 중에서 동진1호를 재배했을 때에 HFK의 생산성이 아시아의 단일 벼논의 생산성과 비슷했고 WUE도 높았던 반면에 CUE는 상대적으로 낮았다. 또한, 새누리를 재배했을 때에도 HFK가 비슷하게 높은 생산성을 보였으나 동진1호보다 생장기간이 상대적으로 길었다. 따라서 동진1호가 지배적인 HFK가 CSA의 관점에서 더 좋은 특성을 보여 준다. 그러나 현실적으로는 농부들이 해충 저항성이 동진1호보다 높은 새 누리를 재배하고 있다. 이는 CSA의 나머지 두 목표의 하나인 탄력(resilience) 향상을 통한 적응력 강화와 관련된 것으로 온실가스 방출 저감을 포함한 총체적인 평가가 이루어져야 함을 시사하며, 이에 대한 평가와 분석이 현재 진행 중에 있다.
