Speech production studies have suggested that bilinguals who are L2-dominant are the most likely to suppress the influence of the first language (L1) on the second language (L2). The voice onset times (VOTs) and fundamental frequencies (f0s) of monolingual and bilingual speakers of English and Korean were examined to address the question whether cross language influences occur particularly in L2 predominant bilinguals and to compare their outcomes with those of L2 proficient bilinguals and monolinguals. A total of 28 speakers participated in this experiment and they produced English and Korean stops in the carrier sentence. In English, for voiceless aspirated and unaspirated stops, L2 predominant bilingual speakers produced VOTs that were significantly shorter than those of monolingual English speakers. The outcome was analogous in Korean speech. For aspirated and lax stops, they produced shorter Korean VOTs than monolingual speakers. The results of f0s were slightly different from those of VOTs. In English, L2 predominant bilinguals produced f0s that were not significantly different from those of monolingual English speakers. In Korean, however, they produced f0s that were significantly different from those of monolingual Korean speakers. Taken VOT and f0 into consideration together, the overall results suggest that, although they tend to show a corresponding pattern of monolinguals, L2 predominant bilinguals had cross language phonetic influences between L1 and L2, similar to L2 proficient bilinguals. Between the two acoustic cues, f0 seemed to be a more reliable cue than VOT to examine the influences.

Correlational reasoning is used to analyze results from an experiment and create meaningful relationships among variables. Although there were many recognition development studies, not a single study found the optimal period for the development of logical thinking. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find the optimal period for students whose logic for variable controlling and correlational reasoning are poor. This study made a logic program treatment subject for students between the 4th and 8th grade whose recognition in reasoning has not been developed in general in order to find the optimal period for their development. The variable-controlling reasoning was performed the program of voice survey and sugared-water melting in subsection survey and sugared-water melting in subsection. And, the correlation reasoning was performed the program of rat's size and tail color, treatment, and effect. As a result of research, students, who were not formed variable controlling and correlational reasoning, could be known to be enhanced through learning, but to fail to be formed the qualitative change like the cognitive development. In other words, the optimal period couldn't be found that is grown the formation of students, who are not formed the variable controlling and correlational reasoning, through learning. It is expected that this research can contribute to the improvement of students' cognitive level and there would be more active researches in different fields to improve the cognitive level.

최근 IEEE802.11 표준에 따르는 무선 랜의 사용이 증대되어 왔다. 더욱이 무선 랜을 통한 인터넷 트래픽은 기존의 웹 서핑이나 이메일 통신 등과 같은 전형적 데이터 형태로부터 서비스 품질(QoS: Quality of Service) 보장을 요구하는 고화질 영상과 음성 트래픽으로 바뀌어 가고 있다. 이에 IEEE 802 표준 위원회에서는 무선 랜 멀티미디어 트래픽의 QoS 보장을 위한 표준인 IEEE 802.11e를 제안한 바 있다. IEEE 802.11e는 QoS 매커니즘으로 EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access)와 HCCA(HCF Controlled Channel Access) 로 구성된 HCF(Hybrid Coordination Function)를 제안하고 있다. 이 중 EDCA는 모든 단말이 동등한 자격으로 경쟁적인 매체접근을 하는 분산형 프로토콜이며, HCCA는 단말이 무선 랜 연결을 위해 자원을 요청하면 AP (Access Point)가 자원을 할당하여 집입을 허가하는 중앙집중식 허가 방식의 프로토콜이다. EDCA 또는 HCCA를 기반으로 하여 다양한 허가 제어 방식이 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 우선 IEEE 802.11e에서 제시된 두 가지 표준 매체제어방식을 간략히 살펴 보고, 다음에 이들 매체제어 방식과 결합되어 사용될 수 있는 다양한 허가제어 방식 연구 동향을 살펴 본다.

상이한 망이 공존하는 LTE-Advanced에서 기존 음성 서비스에 적용된 절차적이고 정적인 제어방식으로는 서비스 연속성을 효과적으로 지원하는 것은 현실적으로 어렵다고 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는 SON를 기반으로 서비스 연속성을 효과적으로 지원하기 위한 서비스 자기-조직화를 제시하고자 한다. SON을 통하여 가입자 단말기는 자신의 현재 상태 및 주변 기지국 정보를 수집하고, 기지국은 내부 및 인접한 기지국 모니터링으로 수집된 정보를 통하여, 관련 제어 데이터를 공유하고 이를 종합 분석하여 서비스 연속성을 자체적으로 조절/제어하는 방법을 제안한다. 서비스 자기-조직화는 단말기 및 기지국의 상태 정보 변화에 따라 관련 기능(여기서 기능은 ISHO, 셀 선정, 자원 할당, 부하 제어, QoS 매핑 등을 의미함)의 설정을 동적으로 제어하고, 각각의 기능들이 변화에 적응하여 조정되고 재구성하는 과정을 주고받으면서 각 기능들이 상호 작용하게 된다. 이러한 동작들이 서비스 자기-조직화를 통하여 서비스 연속성을 만족시키는 방향으로 이루어진다. 자원 이용률과 outage 확률을 성능척도로 하여 수행된 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면 제안된 방안은 기존 방안에 비하여 더 우수한 성능을 가짐이 확인된다.

SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)은 VoIP(Iroice over IP)와 같은 인터넷 멀티미디어 통신 시스템의 세션 제어 프로토콜로 제안되었으며 많은 표준안에서 채택하고 있다. SIP는 다양한 형태의 오디오와 비디오 형식과 품질이 보장된 실시간 데이터 전송을 지원하기 위해 복잡한 세션 제어 단계를 갖는다. 그러나 지금까지의 프로토콜 분석기는 SIP 기반 멀티미디어 통신 시스템에서 발생되는 트래픽을 상세하게 분석해주지 못하고 있다 이에 본 논문에서는 SIP 기반의 멀티미디어 통신 시스템의 세션 설정 단계에서 데이터 교환 및 세션 변경에 따른 세부 정보를 분석하고 진단할 수 있는 도구로 새로운 프로토콜 분석기를 설계하고 구현한다. 제안된 프로토콜 분석기는 STAT(SIP based Traffic Analysis Tool)이라고 부르며 범용성과 확장성이 있도록 PC Windows에서 사용 가능한 소프트웨어로 구현되었다. STAT는 이더넷의 특징인 동보 기능을 이용하여 저수준 패킷을 수집하여 분석함으로써 SIP 기반 통신 시스템에 직접적인 영향 없이 세션 연결 상태와 실시간 트래픽 모니터링 정보를 제공한다. 따라서 본 논문에서 구현한 STAT는 SIP 기반 멀티미디어 통신 시스템의 개발 및 관리 도구로 활용될 수 있다.

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and the feasibility of thyroidectomy for aged (${\geq}75$ years old) thyroid cancer by reviewing postoperative morbidity and pathologic characteristics. Materials & Methods: The clinical records of patients submitted to thyroid operation between 2014 and 2015 with histopathological diagnosis of thyroid cancer were analyzed. Clinical variables included age, gender, preoperative symptom, final pathology, length of stay, comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, postoperative complications, and mortality. Results: There were 30 patients aged more than 75 years old, and only one patient passed over with postoperative pneumonia. There were 8 male and 22 female patients. Half of the patients presented with symptoms such as palpable mass (33.3%), voice change (6.7%) and dyspnea (6.7%). The pathologic diagnosis was thyroid cancer in all cases. The median postoperative hospitalization time was 4 days. There was one perioperative mortality case observed in this study. Conclusion: Thyroid surgery in patients 75 years or older can be performed except extensive surgical resection. Aggressive histology and extent of surgery may be an important factor of perioperative mortality and morbidity.

Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has been proposed as a possible way to improve the control of refractory epilepsy. We report the effects following VNS treatment in patients with refractory epilepsy. Seventeen patients with a mean age of 12.8 years, ranging from 5 to 29 years, underwent the implantation of vagal nerve stimulation (Cyberonics, Houston, TX). We reviewed the clinical findings before and after VNS in seizure frequency, number of antiepileptic drugs (AED), and quality of life (QOL). All of the patients had intractable seizures, eleven of the patients had additional medical complications, three had hippocampus atrophy, one had encephalomalacia, five had encephalitis, one had pachygyria, and one had schizencephaly. Thirteen patients had symptomatic partial epilepsies, three patients had Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and one had cryptogenic partial epilepsy. The mean follow up duration was 35 months. The mean reduction of seizure frequency compared with baseline before VNS was 26.1% after 3 months (p<0.005), 41.9% after 6 months (p<0.001), 46.9% after 1 year (p<0.001), and 53% at the latest follow-up (p<0.001). Twelve patients showed an improvement of QOL such as mood, language, alertness, expression, and motor function. The most common side effects were transient hoarseness or voice change or cough, which was detected in six patients (35%) and wound infection in one patient (5%). This study has shown a good anti-seizure effect of VNS, decrease in seizure frequency and improvements in QOL. We concluded that VNS is a beneficial therapy in refractory epilepsy with a non-resectable epileptic focus. Further studies should be focused on the prediction of unresponsiveness and the adjustment of VNS parameters for maximum efficacy in patients with various medical histories.

AI speakers which are wireless speakers with smart features have released from many manufacturers and adopted by many customers. Though smart features including voice recognition, controlling connected devices and providing information are embedded in many mobile phones, AI speakers are sitting in home and has a role of the central en-tertainment and information provider. Many surveys have investigated the important factors to adopt AI speakers and influ-encing factors on satisfaction. Though most surveys on AI speakers are cross sectional, we can track customer attitude toward AI speakers longitudinally by analyzing customer reviews on AI speakers. However, there is not much research on the change of customer attitude toward AI speaker. Therefore, in this study, we try to grasp how the attitude of AI speaker changes with time by applying text mining-based analysis. We collected the customer reviews on Amazon Echo which has the highest share of AI speakers in the global market from Amazon.com. Since Amazon Echo already have two generations, we can analyze the characteristics of reviews and compare the attitude ac-cording to the adoption time. We identified all sub topics of customer reviews and specified the topics for smart features. And we analyzed how the share of topics varied with time and analyzed diverse meta data for comparisons. The proportions of the topics for general satisfaction and satisfaction on music were increasing while the proportions of the topics for music quality, speakers and wireless speakers were decreasing over time. Though the proportions of topics for smart fea-tures were similar according to time, the share of the topics in positive reviews and importance metrics were reduced in the 2nd generation of Amazon Echo. Even though smart features were mentioned similarly in the reviews, the influential effect on satisfac-tion were reduced over time and especially in the 2nd generation of Amazon Echo.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report on the cases and prescriptions of non-face-to-face care performed to alleviate COVID-19 symptoms and to present their results. Methods: This study was conducted on 63 COVID-19 patients who visited the Ilsan Hamsoa Korean Medicine Clinic from January 24 to June 11, 2022. We retrospectively analyzed all 63 patient charts and amassed COVID-19-related symptoms and their changes according to clinical characteristics and outcomes. Results: All 63 COVID-19 patients complained of symptoms, such as coughing, sore throat, sputum, fever, headache, myalgia, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, postnasal drip, and voice change. In total, 30 patients were administered Eunma-san, 6 patients were administered Eungyo-san plus Mahaenggamseok-tang, 10 patients were administered Galgeunhaegi-tang, 7 patients were administered Eungyo-san, 6 patients were administered Maekmundong-tang, and 4 patients were administered Jugyeopseoggo-tang. Improvements in symptoms due to herbal medicine included the disappearance of COVID-19 fever (22 cases) within 3.59±4.2 days, sore throat (32 cases) within 4.37±2.98 days, and cough (36 cases) within 4.86±3.1 days. Conclusion: Various herbal medicine prescriptions were effective COVID-19 treatments, indicating that herbal medicines may be alternative treatment options for COVID-19. However, the evidence should be supplemented with better designed prospective research on individual prescriptions.
