Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of herbal remedies (Bokryeongkamcho -tang. Yeongkyechulkam-tang.) on nummular eczema. Methods : The 49 year-old male patient has been suffered from nummular eczema for 8 months. At first, he was treated with Bokryeongkamcho-tang for 56 days. And then he was treated with Yeongkyechulkam-tang for last 40 days. During the treatment we checked pruritis degree changes and extent changes by asking. And we checked how prulent exudates, crusts, scratch marks are changes by taking photos. First evaluation was performed before treatment, second evaluation was performed after taking Bokryeongkamcho-tang 56 days, third evaluation was performed after taking Yeongkyechulkam-tang 40 days. Results : After taking Bokryeongkamcho-tang 56 days, pruritus was decreased and prulent exudents were stopped, and crusts were disappeared. Nummular eczema on trunk, arm, thigh was disappeared. But light pruritis was still going on, and small circle-shaped vesicles groups were lagged on forearm and shin, ankle. So we found other symptoms from the patient, and administered Yeongkyechulkam-tang. After taking Yeongkyechulkam-tang 40 days, pruritus was almost decreased and nummular eczema on fore arm, shin was disappeared. Conclusions : This clinical case indicates that herbal remedies(Bokryeongkamcho-tang. Yeongkyechulkam-tang.) are effective on nummular eczema.

Purpose - In this paper, the degree of similarity and dissimilarity between pairs of 50 major cities in China can be shown on the basis of three evaluation variables(internet businessman index, internet shopping index and e-commerce development index). Dissimilarity distance matrix is used to analyze both similarity and dissimilarity between each fifty city in China by calculating dissimilarity as distance. Higher value signifies higher degree of dissimilarity between two cities. Cluster analysis is exploited to classify 50 cities into a number of different groups such that similar cities are placed in the same group. In addition, multidimensional scaling(MDS) technique can obtain visual representation for exploring the pattern of proximities among 50 major cities in China based on three development performance attributes. Research design, data, and methodology - This research is performed by the 2013 report provided with AliResearch in China(1/1/2013~11/30/2013) and utilized multivariate methods such as dissimilarity distance matrix, cluster analysis and MDS by using CLUSTER, KMEANS, PROXIMITIES and ALSCAL procedures in SPSS 21.0. Results - This research applies two types of cluster analysis and MDS on three development performances based on the 2013 report of Aliresearch. As a result, it is confirmed that grouping is possible by categorizing the types into four clusters which share similar characteristics. MDS is exploited to carry out positioning of both grouped locations of cluster and 50 major cities belonging to each cluster. Since all the values corresponding to Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hangzhou(which belong to cluster 1 among 50 major cities) are very large, these cities are superior to other cities in all three evaluation attributes. Twelve cities(Beijing, ShangHai, Jinghua, ZhuHai, XiaMen, SuZhou, NanJing, DongWan, ZhangShan, JiaXing, NingBo and FoShan), which belong to cluster 3, are inferior to those of cluster 1 in terms of all three attributes, but they can be expected to be the next e-commerce revolution. The rest of major cities, in particular, which belong to cluster 4 are relatively inferior in all three attributes, so that this automatically evokes creative innovation, which leads to e-commerce development as a whole in China. In terms of internet businessman index, on the other hand, Tainan, Taizhong, and Gaoxiong(which belong to cluster 2) are situated superior to others. However, these three cities are inferior to others in an internet shopping index sense. The rest of major cities, in particular, which belong to cluster 4 are relatively inferior in all three evaluation attributes, so that this automatically evokes innovation and entrepreneurship, which leads to e-commerce development as a whole in China. Conclusions - This study suggests the implications to help e-governmental officers and companies make strategies in both Korea and China. This is expected to give some useful information in understanding the recent situation of e-commerce in China, by looking over development performances of 50 major cities. Therefore, we should develop marketing, branding and communication relevant to online Chinese consumers. One of these efforts will be incentives like loyalty points and coupons that can encourage consumers and building in-house logistics networks.

자기보고식 설문평가와 컴퓨터 기반 심박변이도(Heart rate variability, HRV) 분석평가를 통해 원예치료가 우울증 환자의 정서개선에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 자기보고식 설문 평가는 정신적 스트레스, 신체적 스트레스, 불안, 우울 등 4가지 평가도구를 사용하였다. HRV 분석평가는 standard deviation of the N-N intervals(SDNN), square root of mean squared difference of successive N-N intervals(RMSSD), total power(TP), low-frequency/high-frequency ratio(LF/HF ratio)의 4개 분석지표를 이용하였다. 동일한 병원 소속 우울증 환자 30명을 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 이 가운데 실험군 15명을 대상으로 주 1회씩 12회 원예치료 프로그램을 실시하였고, 대조군에는 실시하지 않았다. 그 결과, 원예치료를 실시 한 실험군의 경우 자기보고식 설문평가는 물론 HRV 분석평가에서도 원예치료 후 우울 정서 개선 효과가 확인되었다. 특히 자기보고식 평가에서는 정신적 스트레스, 불안, 우울 척도에서 통계적으로도 유의한 효과가 나타났으며($p$<0.001), HRV 분석평가의 경우 TP 지표에서 통계적 유의성이 확인되었다($p$<0.05). SDNN, RMSSD, LF/HF ratio 지표 역시 눈에 띄게 호전되었으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 비록 HRV의 모든 분석지표들이 통계적 유의성을 나타내지는 않았지만, 이 연구를 통해 HRV 측정으로 원예치료 효과를 객관화된 수치로 제시할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 주관적 평가와 객관적 평가를 도입한 본 실험 결과 원예치료가 우울증 환자의 심리적, 신체적 재활에 효과적임이 입증되었다.

Video transmission effectiveness in the Ad Hoc network is becoming important recently, if different routing protocols are applied. Some researchers conclude that the reactive protocols are better for file transfer protocol (FTP) and constant bit rate (CBR) or hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) transmission in an Ad Hoc wireless network but the performance report of video transmission is not much. This study adopts Qualnet (Network Simulator) as a simulation tool for environmental designing and performance testing, and employs an experimental design with eight groups. Our experiment shows that: (1) The performance of AODV (reactive) protocol is better than DSDV, ZRP and DSR when the transmission load has only one video stream; (2) Proactive (DSDV) and Hybrid protocols (ZRP) are better for a smaller Ad Hoc network when it transmits a video stream with some applications (VoIP, FTP and CBR). We conclude that packet loss rate is sensitive to the quality of video transmission and it has negative relationship with Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value. In addition, our experiment also shows that PSNR is a simple Metric for the performance evaluation of video transmission.

The Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia encourages Saudi students to continue their education at Saudi universities or abroad. Currently, an estimated 1,282,140 Saudi students are studying at Saudi universities. The extent of the research so far has not focused on Saudi student experiences, but it has shown that even a single negative event can dramatically reduce the chances of a student completing a degree. Thus, more research is necessary to identify and describe the context and obstacles (environmental and psychological) that Saudi students face. The evaluation was multifaceted to capture not only performance outcomes, but also other factors that have been suggested by research as influential to students' ability, such as the environmental, cultural, and psychological risks for graduation that Saudi students self-report. A single group pretest (survey) design was used in this study. Findings suggest depression stress and college stress predict stress levels, while subjective happiness predicts levels of scientific participations of the sample. Moreover, depression stress shows more consistency with hours spent on the internet for study purposes. These results should be considered in study support programs both institutionally and geopolitically by universities and governments.

The program was composed of 8 sessions by using problem-centered learning education method and integrating STEAM elements between disciplines. The contents of program are as follow. In the step of sharing problems and making a problem-solving plan, they understood the various examples and meanings of endangered species, explored the project activities, and made an inquiry plan. In the search and re-exploration phase, a smart device was used to investigate the appearance, habitat environment and cause of extinction for Clithon retropictus, and a site inquiry plan was established for each group. Then, they moved to the field to explore brackish-headed gallops and discuss ways to protect endangered species. In the step of creating a solution, a web-based report was produced as the final product using smart devices based on the results of the inquiry. In the presentation and evaluation stage, the produced web-based report was used to present each group, conduct mutual evaluation, and organize project activities. The developed program was applied to 6th grade 29 students enrolled in the J University Gifted Education Center. In order to find out the effectiveness of the program, tests of science process skill, creative problem-solving ability, and scientific attitude were conducted before and after of program learning, and the results were statistically analyzed by t-test. In addition, a STEAM program satisfaction test was conducted after project in order to find out the satisfaction of the class. As a result of application of the program, the results were significantly improved in openness, criticism, and creativity among the sub-factors of creative problem-solving ability and scientific attitude. Satisfaction with the STEAM program was also high, but no significant result was found in science process skill. Therefore, the program of this study could be influenced on improvement of creative problem-solving ability and scientific attitude of gifted students in elementary science.

이 연구에서는 개방적 참탐구 활동을 수행한 학생들의 탐구보고서에서 과학자들의 보고서 쓰기에서와 같은 특징이 나타나는지 살펴보고, 개방적 참탐구 활동 수행 후 실시한 학급 토론활동이 탐구보고서 쓰기에 미치는 효과에 대해서 알아보았다. 서울시 소재 과학고등학교 1학년 학생들을 대상으로 비교집단(전통적 학교탐구 수행, n=45), 실험집단 1(개방적 참탐구 활동 수행, n=43), 실험집단 2(개방적 참탐구 활동 수행 후 학급토론 실시, n=43)로 구분하여, 탐구를 수행하게 한 후 작성한 보고서를 분석하였다. 보고서 분석은 실험 결과에 대한 예상하기(근거제시 및 기술의 타당성), 데이터 해석하기(데이터전환 및 비판적 해석), 결론쓰기(실험결과에 기초한 객관적 진술)를 중심으로 이루어졌다. 그 결과 실험집단에서 과학자들의 보고서쓰기 특징이 나타나는 빈도가 비교집단보다 높게 나타났다. 특히 '근거를 제시하여 예상하기(p<.01)'와 '데이터에 대한 비판적인 평가(p<.05)'에서 유의미한 차이를 나타내었다. 그러나 결론쓰기에서는 세 집단 모두 실험결과에 기초하여 객관적으로 기술하는 빈도가 아주 낮게 나타났다. 보고서의 기술 내용면에서는, 실험집단에서 실험결과에 대한 예상이 훨씬 더 정교하게 기술되어 있었고, 데이터 전환의 정확성과 데이터에 대한 비판적 해석을 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 실험집단 2의 학생들의 보고서에서는 데이터에 대한 비판적 해석, 실험의 오차에 대한 기술을 볼 수 있었고, 이는 학급 토론활동이 학생들에게 과학적 사고를 하게 하는데 효과적임을 의미한다.

We report an evaluation of the immunostimulatory effect of propolis volatiles from a stingless honeybee. We studied 34 elderly residents at a special nursing home. Twenty-one subjects were treated with propolis, 8 with $Binch\hat{o}$ charcoal and 5 subjects acted as controls. Subjects treated with either propolis or Bincho charcoal were housed in rooms separated from the other non-study residents in the nursing home. The effects of each treatment on natural killer (NK) cell activity and lymphocyte levels were examined after 2 months and then for a longer period. The results indicated that NK cell activity was significantly improved to that within the normal range only after propolis treatment.
