Background: Although not clarified, the overall prevalence of visual field loss after stroke was estimated at 52% of stroke survivors and for visual acuity loss, at 70% of them. Among visual field loss patients after stroke, homonymous hemianopia is the most common symptom. Visual defect degrades the quality of life by disrupting independent life and affecting the survival of the patients, but highly-evidenced treatment has not been found until now. ■Case report A 51-year-old female with left-side homonymous hemianopia and central vision loss by a right occipital-temporal hemorrhage was treated with Hyeolbuchukeo-tang, Ikgibohyeol-tang, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and moxibustion. We used a confrontation visual field exam, automated perimetry and visual analog scale, and visual acuity test to observe changes in the patient's symptoms and evaluate the efficacy of the treatment. After 61 days of such interventions, the patient's subjective discomfort lessened, followed by positive changes in the scales of tests mentioned above. ■Conclusion This case suggests that combined Korean medicine treatment might be an effective tool for treating post-stroke homonymous hemianopia and central vision loss. More studies should be conducted to support the effectiveness of the treatment.

Objective: This study investigated two cases of Korean medical treatment for visual field impairment after stroke: Case 1, a 56-year-old male with a posterior cerebral artery infarction and right homonymous hemianopsia, and Case 2, a 46-year-old male with an intracerebral hemorrhage in the left parietal lobe and right homonymous hemianopsia. Methods: Case 1 was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and herbal medicine (Mangeum-tang) for two months, and Case 2 was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and herbal medicine (Oryeong-san) for 40 days. Results: Following treatment, for Case 1, the Humphrey visual field test showed improvement. The visual field indexes (VFIs) for the left and right eyes improved from 44% to 55% and 49% to 64% respectively, and the mean deviations (MDs) for the left and right eyes improved from -21.11 dB to -19.91 dB and -17.45 dB to -13.89 dB, respectively. The mean visual sensitivities (MVSs) of the left and right eyes also improved from 8.67 dB to 11.33 dB and 1.67 dB to 9.67 dB, respectively, with no side effects. For Case 2, the VFI for the left eye improved from 36% to 64% and that for the right eye remained unchanged. The MDs for the left and right eyes also improved from -22.02 dB to -14.47dB and -22.11 dB to -21.34 dB, respectively, with no side effects. Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medical treatment may improve visual impairment after stroke, but further research is needed.

Visual search in an unstructured search field is a fruitful research area for computational modeling. Search models that describe relationship between search time and probability of target detection have been used for prediction of human search performance and provision of ideal goals for search training. Until recently, however, most of models were focused on detecting a single target in a search field, although, in practice, a search field includes multiple targets and search models for multiple targets may differ from search models for a single target. This study proposed a random search model for multiple targets, generalizing a random search model for a single target which is the most typical search model. To test this model, human search data were collected and compared with the model. This model well predicted human performance in visual search for multiple targets. This paper also proposed how to determine optimal stopping time in multiple-target search.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of visual field training on visual function, visual perception and attention enhancement. Methods. We examined the changes of visual function and visual perception tests for children with mild developmental disabilities through vision therapy. Results. At the time of the initial visit of the child, the ability to control not only distant and near visual function, but also accommodation, was also very limited. Also, the visual perception score was measured at 80 points. Through vision therapy, it was confirmed that the improvement of control ability as well as the visual function and visual perception function test results were also improved to 108 points. Conclusion. It was confirmed that vision therapy results in an improvement of visual function, improved visual perception ability, as well as visual perception ability, It was concluded that visual function affected visual perception, and that vision therapy used in order to prevent visual function deterioration was found to be very helpful.

In this paper, we propose a new image quality assessment scheme considering the human visual perception characteristics. A subjective quality assessment is obtained by the response of the receptive field in the primary visual cortex and a human's eye can't focus on all of the visual range in a moment. Take advantage of two facts above, we apply Gabor wavelet transform, which is well fit the receptive field in the cortex, to divided constant sized subblocks. Then a local distortion of the subblocks and a global distortion for the entire image are calculated in order. The proposed method has been evaluated using video test sequences provided by the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG). The experimental results show that good correlation with human perception is obtained using the proposed metric, which is what we called GPSNR.

This study compares the differences of the fit factor by the order of wearing preference between Particulate filtering facepiece respirators(PFFR) and glasses when participants wore simultaneously and a survey of physical and visual complaint. Recognition level about fit of respirators was investigated and the educational (before- and after-) effect of the fit factor. When participants wore PFFR and glasses, physical complaints were nose pressure, slipping, nose and ear pressure, ear pressure and rim loosen, the most highly physical complaints were nose pressure. Visual complaints were demister, blurry vision, dizziness, visual field, and lens dirty, the most highly visual complaints were demister. But, there was significant difference in physical complaint such as nose pressure(10.3%), slipping (23.0%), nose and ear pressure(14.3%), and rim loosen(16.2%), visual complaint such as visual field(13.8%) and lens dirty(32.4%). For the recognition of fit of respirators, respirators fitness, leak site, an initial point and an object, faulty factor, recognition level was higher. Fit factor was increased after education of proper wearing of respirator. Change of the fit factor was smaller compared to the normal breathing and after 6 actions in case of after education. Questionnaire consisted of general characteristics and physical/visual complaint, recognition of fit. Complaints were measured after the QNFT with multiple choices. Quantitative fit factor was measured by device and compared the result of (before- and after-) educational effect. Also, we selected to 6 actions (Normal breathing, Deep breathing, Bending over, Turning head side to side, Moving head up and down, Normal breathing) among 8 actions OSHA QNFT (Quantitative Fit testing) protocol to measure the fit factors. The fit factor was higher after the training (p=0.000). Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon analysis were performed to describe the result of questionnaire and fit test. (P=0.05) Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the quantitative research such as training program and glasses fitting factor about the wearing of PFFR and glasses simultaneously.

Pedestrian safety was recently highlighted with a yellow carpet, a yellow-colored pavement material prepared for children waiting for signals for pedestrian crossing, without validation of its efficiency in practice. It was a promising device likely to assist highway safety by stimulating pedestrian to step on the yellow-colored area; it was generally called nudge effects. This paper delivers a study conducted to check the effectiveness of yellow carpet in three different aspects in vehicle driver's perspective by applying the newly introduced information technology (IT) service: Visual Attention Software (VAS). It was assumed that VAS developed by 3M in the United States should be able explain the Korean drivers' visual reaction behaviors since technology embedded in VAS was developed based on and proved by other various international countries and continents in the world. A set of pictures was taken at thirteen different field sites in seven school zone areas in the Seoul metropolitan area before and after the installation of a yellow carpet, respectively. Sets of those pictures were analyzed with VAS, and the results were compared based on the selective safety measures: the likely focusing on standing pedestrians (waiting for a pedestrian's green signal time) affected by its background (yellow-colored pavement) contrasting him or her. The test results from a set of before-and-after comparison analyses showed that the placement of yellow carpet would (1) increase 71% of driver's visual attention on pedestrian crossing areas and (2) change the sequential order of visual attention on that area 2.4 steps ahead. The findings would enhance deployment of such promising efficiency and thus increase children safety in pedestrian crossing. The result was promising to highlight the way to support the changes in conservative traffic safety engineering field by applying the advanced IT services, while much robust research was recommended to overcome the limitation of simplification of this study.

본 연구는 초 중학교에 재직 중인 미술교사들을 대상으로 미술영재의 관찰 평가 도구 개발에 대한 인식을 조사한 연구이다. 조사 결과, 현장의 초 중학교 미술교사들 사이에는 교사의 관찰 평가에 의한 선발 방식이 미술영재성을 보다 적절히 평가할 수 있는 중요하고도 유용한 방안으로서 폭넓게 인식되고 있으며, 미술 분야에서 교사 관찰 평가 도구를 활용할 경우 평소 선호하는 학생에게 더 유리할 수 있다는 점을 우려하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교사 관찰 평가 도구와 관련된 현장 교사의 연수가 매우 미진하지만, 미술영재의 행동특성 체크리스트와 미술영재의 과제수행 과정의 특성을 평가할 수 있는 미술영재 과제수행 검사를 가장 중요한 도구로 인식하고 있다. 따라서 미술영재성 판별의 타당도를 제고하고 평가의 신뢰성을 제고하기 위해서는 미술 분야에서도 미술영재의 행동특성과 미술영재의 과제수행 과정을 평가할 수 있는 객관적 검사 도구가 개발되어야 할 것이다.

목적: 현행법상 음주 단속의 측정기준이 되는 호흡 알코올 농도(BrAC) 증가가 시력과 타각적 굴절검사 값에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 23명의 20대 남성(평균연령 $21.17{\pm}2.19$세, BMI $22.09{\pm}2.16$)을 대상으로 호흡 알코올 농도 0%, 0.05%, 0.08%에서 원 근거리 시력검사와 개방형 자동굴절력계를 이용한 타각적 굴절검사를 시행하였다. 결과: 호흡 알코올 농도가 증가할수록 원거리 시력은 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였고 근거리 시력은 변화하지 않았다. 또한 호흡 알코올 농도가 증가할수록 타각적 굴절검사 값은 (-) 방향으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론: 음주로 인한 호흡 알코올 농도 증가는 교정시력의 감소와 교정굴절력이 (-) 방향으로 증가하는 원인이 될 수 있으므로 시력검사와 굴절검사는 비음주상태에서 진행해야 할 필요성이 있다.
