Background and Objectives : The aim of this study is to introduce Korea version of pediatric VHI and to compare pVHI-K scores between children with dysphonia and children without voice problems before pVHI-K is developed as a preliminary study. Additionally, the relationship between pVHI and acoustic measures were investigated. Materials and Methods : pVHI-K scores in normal group were obtained from 15 parents who have children with no present or past history of a voice disorder, hearing loss, or related disability that can affect the their voice or speech. Dysphonia group consisted of 15 parents who have children with bilateral vocal fold nodule's at Department of Otolaryngology, the Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). pVHI-K and acoustic parameters were measured in two group. Results : The mean pVHI scores (total, functional, physical, emotional) in normal group were 2.33 (T), 0.80 (F) 1.33 (P) and 0.27 (E), respectively whereas those of pVHI in children group with dysphonia were 23.13 (T), 11.07 (F), 5.73 (P) and 6.13 (E), respectively and significant differences were revealed in total pVHI score as well as in all of the sub-pVHI scores. Moreover, significant correlation between pVHI-K parameters (T, F, P) and acoustic measures [Shimmer(%)] were shown in children in dysphonia group. Conclusion : Reported by parents can be useful as a supplementary clinical tool for diagnosing and measuring treatment effectiveness in young children with dysphonia.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the associated factors of self-reported dry mouth in adults. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 249 adults in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do from June to October, 2014. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, age, monthly income, smoking, alcohol drinking, and systemic diseases including systemic diseases, medication, oral health status, and stress. The question for dry mouth consisted of dryness in skin, eyes, lips, and nasal mucosa. The subjective dry mouth consisted of 6 questions measured by visual analogue scale(VAS). Cronbach's alpha was 0.881 in the study. Oral health related quality of life (OHIP-14) was adapted from Yoon. The questionnaire for OHIP-14 included functional limitation, physical pain, psychological disability, social disability, and experience in hadicap measured by Likert 5 scale. Cronbach's alpha was 0.885 in the study. Data was analyzed for a t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis by using SPSS(SPSS 18.0, USA) program. Results: There were positive correlations between oral health-related quality of life and self-reported dry mouth (functional limitation r=0.288, physical pain r=0.219, psychological discomfort r=0.193, physical disability r=0.280, psychological disability r=0.205, social disability r=0.224 and handicap r=0.270). In the multiple regression analysis, variation of self-reported dry mouth were positively associated with dry eyes{very often(${\beta}=0.305$)), sometimes(${\beta}=0.186$)}, dryness on lips{very often(${\beta}=0.247$), sometimes(${\beta}=0.177$)}, handicap(${\beta}=0.152$), physical disability(${\beta}=0.128$) and alcohol drinking(1-2 times/week)(${\beta}=0.116$) (p<0.001). Conclusions: Self-reported dry mouth may cause deterioration of the entire body dryness(dryness on eyes and lips), low oral health-related quality of life(handicap and physical disability) and alcohol drinking. Thus, It is necessary to develop oral health education programs to prevent and manage dry mouth in adults.

An Parallax-Barrier type autostereoscopic display system is implemented to overcome the handicap of current glass-typed stereo imaging system which gives operators unnatural feeling and reluctance. This system is composed of image mixing part of two input images, A/D transformation part, scan conversion part to eliminate the rainbow interference phenomenon, and pin-hole type barrier lens. For the fine display the accurate slit width of barrier is calculated in consideration of retina size, and the samsung 10.4" TFT-LCO was used as flat display monitor.itor.

For recently 2 years, 3 cases of esophageal achalasia were surgically treated by modified Heller operation with gastric fundoplication. Esophageal achalasia is functional disorder of lower esophagus of which symptoms are dysphasia, regurgitation, and weight loss. Preoperative diagnosis was made by clinical manifestations and radiologic examination, esophagoscopy and confirmed at operative table. Operative procedures are variable, but modified Heller operation is common method to handicap reflux esophagitis and postoperative esophageal stricture. Now, our patients who were surgically treated were well alive without complaining of specific symptoms for followed period.

The handicap for investigating the aero-optical effect focuses on the accurate prediction on the index refraction fluctuation or density fluctuation. In recent years, with the development of CFD techniques and optical experimental techniques, the comprehension have developed on the aero-optical transmitting effect in many kinds of complex flow. This study mainly introduces the optical aberration in compressible mixing layer. And then the debates about the mechanism of aero-optical effects and assessment of image blur also present.

Variable selection in oriental medical research is considered. Decision tree analysis algorithms such as CHAID, CART, C4.5 and QUEST have been successfully applied to a medical research. Paralysis disease is a highly dangerous and murderous disease which accompanied with a great deal of severe physical handicap. In this paper, we explore the use of CHAID algorithm for selecting variables for evidence-diagnosis of paralysis, disease. Empirical results comparing our proposed method to the method using Wilks $\lambda$ given.

"교통약자의 이동편의 증진법"이 제정됨에 따라, 각 지자체에서는 교통약자의 이동권을 보장하고자 다양한 노력을 해오고 있다. 그러나, 지역여건 및 교통수단 특성 등 교통약자의 교통수단 도입과 관련한 주변 상황은 고려되지 않아 교통약자 이동편의 증진 시책은 그 실효성이 매우 미흡한 상태이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 부산광역시를 대상으로 행정동별 경사도와 저상버스 운행여건, 특별교통수단 이용실태 등 교통약자의 교통수단 이용특성을 고찰하였다. 또한, 교통약자의 교통수단 이동지수 개념을 도입하여 지역별 교통약자의 교통수단 이용여건을 수량화하여 비교분석함으로써 지역특성에 부합하는 교통약자의 교통수단 이용편의 증진방안을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to construct a grounded theory as the basis for developing future nursing interventions by describing and analyzing the holistic lives of the physically handicapped adolescents. The subjects were 10 physically handicapped adolescents who were attending a rehabilitation school located in Kyunggi region and could understand and respond to the questions. The aim and purpose of the study were explained to the subjects, and only those who accepted to participate in the study were selected as the actual study subjects. The study data were collected from July to November 2000. The investigators provided detailed explanations to the subjects about keeping the anonymity of the subjects name and confidentiality of the information provided by the study subjects. The subjects received in-depth interviews by the investigators. Each interview took about 40 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, and each subject received interviews with the range of one to 3 times. All interviews were recorded under the permission of the subjects. The investigators formed field notes after finishing each interview. In the process of data analysis, 'realizing the difficulty due to physical handicap' was found to be the causal condition, whereas' acceptance of physical handicap' was identified as the context. Then, we identified' awaring as the valuable being' as the core phenomenon, 'support from family and social group and spiritual help' as the intervening condition, 'effort for adaptation' as the strategy, and' finding the meaning of life' as the consequence. Through the theoretical model derived from this study, an important aspect the lives of physically handicapped adolescences was identified that' awaring as the valuable being' help them cope better and find the meaning of life in spite of suffering they experience.
