Background and Objectives: It has been suggested that tonsillectomy possibly causes changes of voice because the morphology of the vocal tract is altered. This may cause serious problems for professional voice users. Materials and Method: Subjects were 26 patients. The oral and nasal sound spectrum of oral vowel /a/, /e/ and /i/ were measured before and after tonsillectomy. The formant frequencies and intensities for oral and nasal spectra were compared. The nasality and fundamental frequencies for oral vowel were measured. Results: The first formant frequencies for oral spectra of all vowels were not changed after surgery, but the second formant frequencies were increased significantly after surgery in the vowel /e/ and /i/. The first and second formant intensities for oral spectra were increased significantly after surgery in the all vowels. The first and second formant frequencies for nasal spectra of all vowels were not changed after surgery, but their intensities for nasal spectra were increased after surgery. The nasalities for oral vowel were not changed after surgery. Conclusion : Tonsillectomy appeared to change the spectral features of oral and nasal components of oral vowel, especially spectral intensities.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of injection laryngoplasty (IL) with hyaluronic acid in patients with vocal fold paralysis (VFP). Methods: A total of 50 patients with VFP participated in this study. Pre- and post-IL assessments were performed, which included analyzing the sustained vowel /a/ phonation, and the patient reading 1 Korean sentence from the "Walk" passage that comprised 25 syllables in 10 words. To investigate the effect of IL on vocal fold function, acoustic analysis (acoustic voice quality index, cepstral peak prominence, maximum phonation time, speaking fundamental frequency) was conducted and auditory-perceptual (grade and overall severity), visual judgment (gap), and self-questionnaire (voice handicap index-10) assessments were performed. Results: The patients with VFP showed statistically significant differences between pre-and post-IL assessments for acoustic and auditory-perception, visual judgment, and self-questionnaire assessments. Conclusion: The patients with VFP showed positive change in vocal fold function between pre- and post-IL measurements. The findings showed that IL with hyaluronic acid is an effective method to improve vocal fold function in patients with VFP.

최근 컴퓨터 능력의 급속한 발전으로 인간과 컴퓨터간의 상호 작용을 편리하게 연결할 수 있는 많은 기술들이 연구되고 있는 상황으로, 전통적인 입력장치를 사용한 GUI에서 3D 모션, 햅틱, 멀티 터치와 같은 신체를 이용한 NUI로 패러다임이 변화되고 있는 추세이다. 인간의 동작을 센서를 이용하여 컴퓨터에 전달하는 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 3D 객체를 획득할 수 있는 광학 센서의 개발과 더불어 산업 및 의료 분야, 사용자 인터페이스 분야 등으로 응용 범위가 확장되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 립모션을 기반으로 사용자의 손동작에 따라 기본 입력장치인 마우스를 대신하여 제스처를 통한 타 프로그램 실행 및 윈도우즈 제어가 가능하며, 안드로이드 앱과 융합하여 메인 클라이언트와 연결을 통하여, 음성인식과 버튼을 사용해 각종 미디어와 음성 명령 기능을 통한 제어가 가능한 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델을 통하여 영상, 음악과 같은 인터넷 미디어를 클라이언트 컴퓨터 뿐만 아니라 앱을 통한 원거리 제어가 가능하여, 편리하게 미디어를 시청할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Digital Transformation과 4차 산업혁명 등 변화의 시대에 급변하는 기술 변화에 맞게 전자금융서비스는 안전하게 제공하여야 한다. 그러나 전기통신금융사기(보이스피싱) 사고는 현재진행형 이어서 사고의 지속적 증가, 지능화 및 고도화 현상을 대응하려 법률 제 개정 및 정책 제도 개선등 사고 근절을 위해 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 더불어 금융회사는 이상금융거래탐지 시스템 개선 및 고도화를 통한 전기통신금융사기 사고 방지에 노력하고 있으나, 그 대응 결과는 그리 밝지 않다. 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 전기통신금융사기 사고는 관련 대책에 맞서 변화하며 진화를 거듭하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 보이스피싱에 의한 금융거래 사고발생 방지를 위해 시나리오 기반의 Rule 모델과 인공지능 알고리즘을 통해 모델링 된 지능형 이상금융거래 시스템을 설계하고 금융기관의 전자금융거래 시스템 에 실제 설치 운용해 본 결과를 바탕으로 인공지능형 이상금융거래 탐지시스템의 구현 모델과 분석 탐지 결과를 차단 대응 할 수 있는 고도화 된 대응 모델을 제안하고자 한다.

Background and Objectives Presbyphonia is characterized by hoarse, breathy, weak vocal intensity. Extracellular matrix (ECM) in lamina propria (LP) of the vocal folds play an important role in voice production, and change of ECM according to the aging leads to the presbyphonia. The aim of this study was to investigate the histologic analysis of aging vocal fold of rat. Materials and Method Six and twenty two months old Sprague-Dawley rats (n=8, each group) were used and classified into young (six months old rats) and old (twenty two months old rats) group. Histologic analysis and immunohistochemical staining for ECM of LP were performed. Results Overall cellular density was significantly decreased in old rat group. Elastin fibers of LP were significantly decreased in old rat group. Type I collagen was significantly increased in old rat group. Type III collagen did not show significant difference. Hyaluronic acids did not show significant difference in Alcian blue staining and immunohistochemical staining. Conclusion Decreased general cellular density and elastin fiber and increased type I collagen were observed in the LP of vocal folds of aging rats. These ECM changes might to contribute the aging voice.

Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS), analysis of gait pattern, voice dB and self-evaluation of speed and volume were used to assess the change of symptoms. ■Results ‌After treatment, the UPDRS score decreased in overall category and the walking pattern has improved. In addition, the improvement was observed in voice volume and in self assessment of the patient. ■Conclusion This case suggests the effect of Korean medical treatment on motor disorder and aphonia in Parkinsonism.

When a hearing aid' s user is listening through telephone or cellular phone, he/she usually suffers from severe electrical magnetic interference noise. It is because hearing aids amplify voice signal as well as background noise. A telecoil, an induction coil, is a possible solution for the problem. Because a telecoil has the characteristic of high pass filter, it has some problem of resulting increased high frequency noise. For solving this problem, we can use a capacitor connected with the telecoil in parallel. According to capacitance, receiving signal quality may change. In this paper, proper capacitor values for the best sound quality are investigated by experimental work.

Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are widely spread for use nowadays. Traffic which are conveyed over the WLANs change rapidly from normal data such as Email and Web pages, to multimedia data of high resolution video and voice. To meet QoS (Quality of Service) required by these multimedia traffic, the IEEE 802 committee recently has developed a new standard, IEEE 802.11e. Current IEEE 802.11e, however, is not sufficient to support service differentiations and network performance enhancements, under a varying network environment experiencing as varying channel characteristics and high network loads. Recently, there have been much research to complement this deficiency of 802.11e standard. This paper surveys these research efforts.

The proposal that a sound change is occurring in Korean stops was evidenced in this study through identification experiments on Korean stops. Perceptual weight of acoustic correlates to Korean stop manner contrast [VOT (Voice Onset Time), H1-H2 (amplitude difference between the first and second harmonics), and F0 (Fundamental frequency)] was examined with re-synthesized /$t^ha$/, /ta/, and /$t^*a$/ syllables for younger and older Seoul speakers of Korean. For the identification of the aspirated and lenis stops, F0 cue weight relative to VOT was greater for the younger listeners than the older listeners. For H1-H2 cue weight, the two listener groups were more or less the same. These findings were parallel to the production differences found in the earlier work of the author. Combined with production differences, these perception differences between younger and older generations of Seoul speakers suggested that there are generational differences in the phonetic targets of Korean aspirated and lenis stops and such differences are realized in the perception of the stops.
