劉俊榮,張勝成 대구대학교 특수교육재활과학연구소 2006 再活科學硏究 Vol.24 No.2

The hearing impairment happened extensively in the elderly and often resulted in the hearing handicap. A lot of study confused the hearing impairment with the hearing handicap and replaced the score of quality of life by the hearing handicap score to calculate the quality adjusted life years and analyzed the cost-utility of aural rehabilitation. In this study, the confusion of hearing impairment and hearing handicap was clarified, and the relevance between hearing handicap and quality of life was explored in order to examine the fitness of replacing the score of quality of life by the hearing handicap score. The result of this study indicated that the correlation between the hearing handicap and the quality of life. The fitness of correlating model of the hearing handicap and the quality of life was not accepted. So, it was not suggested that replacing the score of quality of life by the hearing handicap score. The inventory of disease-specific quality of life should be developed. Secondly, the poor fitness of correlating model of the hearing handicap and the quality of life could be resulted from the other variables that shall be included in the model. It was proposed to include relevant variables into the model in the future. 청각손상은 노년기에 광범위하게 발생하는 문제이다. 심각한 청각장애를 자주 일으킨다. 많은 연구는 청각손상과 청각장애를 혼돈하는 것 뿐 만아니라 자주 청각장애 검목표의 득점으로 피실험자의 생활 품질을 대표한다. 심지어 청각장애 검목표의 득점으로 생활 품질 조정년을 계산한다. 이것으로 청각 재활의 성공 효과를 분석한다. 본 연구는 청각 손상과 청각장애의 다른 점을 밝히는 것 외에도 주요 목적은 청각장애와 생활 품질의 관련성을 이해하고자 하는 것이다. 이것으로 청각장애 검목표를 생활 품질을 삼는 정당성을 관찰한다. 연구결과에 나타나는 것은 청각 표현과 생활품질의 관련성은 높지 않은 결과를 얻었다. 이 두 가지의 관련 양식은 일반화 하기는 제한점을 갖는다. 그래서 이론적 개념에서 청각 표현과 생활품질은 각자 다른 내용을 갖추고 있다. 자료 통계의 분석 결과도 이 두 가지의 관련 양식에 대해서 유의한 결과를 얻지 못했다. 그래서 청각표현 능력으로 피실험자의 생활 품질을 대신할 수 없다. 마땅히 청각 손상자에게 맞는 적합한 생활 품질 설문지를 발행해야한다. 그 다음에 두 가지의 관련 양식의 관련도 적다. 아마도 청각 손상자의 청각 표현과 생활 품질 간에는 많은 변인의 영향이 존재하기 때문이다. 미래의 연구는 더 많은 상관 관련 인소를 귀납해서 이 이론구조를 검증해야한다는 것을 건의한다.

Cheng-sheng Wu,De-cai Zhou,Lei Gao,Quan-ming Miao 대한조선학회 2011 International Journal of Naval Architecture and Oc Vol.3 No.1

Some research work on CFD computation of ship motions and added resistance in waves for a high speed trimaran is carried out in this paper. The governing equations, Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes and continuity equations are discretized by finite volume method. Volume of fluid method is adopted to deal with the nonlinear free surface. The incident waves are generated from the inflow boundary by prescribing a velocity profile resembling flexible flap wavemaker motions, and the outgoing waves are dissipated inside an artificial damping zone located at the rear part of the wave tank. In this paper, the computed results of ship motion and added resistance for a high speed trimaran are presented. The results of seakeeping experiment for the high speed trimaran carried out in CSSRC towing tank are also presented in this paper. Rather good agreements are shown between the computational and experimental results. The work in this paper provides a numerical tool for the study of seakeeping performance of high speed trimarans.

( Sheng-hao Chen ),( Hung-jen Lin ),( Yu-cheng Yang ),( En-cheng Yang ),( Joe-air Jiang ) 한국농업기계학회 2018 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.23 No.1

Honey bees are the most important plant pollinators in nature. Currently, about one-third of human food comes from flowering plants. About 80% of the plants need honey bees for pollination. However, extreme weather increases the possibility of honey bees being exposed to the threat of winter losses, as global climate change intensifies. To protect honey bee colonies, in this study, a heating system is proposed to maintain the temperature of a beehive during the winter. The heating system contains a beecounter, a monitoring system built for beehives, to automatically record the data of temperature and relative humidity both inside and outside the beehives and monitor honey bees’ behavior of coming in and going out of the beehives. When the beecounter detects that the temperature inside the beehive is below a certain threshold, the heating system will be activated to increase the temperature of the beehive. And, all environmental parameters and data are transmitted through a Wi-Fi module and sent to a cloud. With the IoT technology, the temperature inside the beehive will be precisely controlled to increase the survival rate of colonies during the winter. Finally, image processing techniques are used to calculate the honey bee eclosion rates to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, and the results show that the proposed system can successfully maintain the temperature of the beehive and increase the numbers of the bees entering and leaving the beehive.

American Indian and Taiwan aboriginal education: Indigenous identity and career aspirations

Sheng Yao Cheng 서울대학교 교육연구소 2008 Asia Pacific Education Review Vol.9 No.3

This article investigates the interactions between identity and career aspirations among Taiwanese Aborigines and American Indians. While many similarities exist between the two indigenous groups, several differences remain as well. In comparing the identity issue between these two groups, this study shows that American Indians generally live in a more multicultural society than Taiwanese Aborigines. American Indian students do not experience the same degree of stereotype or racial discrimination from their teachers and peers as experienced by Taiwanese Aborigines. However, affirmative action policies are more favorable it, Taiwan than they are in the United States. Drawing from a critical standpoint theory, we argue that families, tribes, and communities should play a more prominent role in the education of indigenous peoples.

Performance Improvement of Offline Phase for Indoor Positioning Systems Using Asus Xtion and Smartphone Sensors

Sheng-Cheng Yeh,Yih-Shyh Chiou,Huan Chang,Wang-Hsin Hsu,Shiau-Huang Liu,Fuan Tsai 한국통신학회 2016 Journal of communications and networks Vol.18 No.5

Providing a customer with tailored location-based ser-vices (LBSs) is a fundamental problem. For location-estimationtechniques with radio-based measurements, LBS applications arewidely available for mobile devices (MDs), such as smartphones,enabling users to run multi-task applications. LBS information notonly enables obtaining the current location of an MD but also pro-vides real-time push-pull communication service. For indoor envi-ronments, localization technologies based on radio frequency (RF)pattern-matching approaches are accurate and commonly used. However, to survey radio information for pattern-matching ap-proaches, a considerable amount of time and work is spent in in-door environments. Consequently, in order to reduce the system-deployment cost and computing complexity, this article proposesan indoor positioning approach, which involves using Asus Xtionto facilitate capturing RF signals during an offline site survey. Thedepth information obtained using Asus Xtion is utilized to estimatethe locations and predict the received signal strength (RF informa-tion) at uncertain locations. The proposed approach effectively re-duces not only the time and work costs but also the computing com-plexity involved in determining the orientation and RF during theonline positioning phase by estimating the user’s location by usinga smartphone. The experimental results demonstrated that morethan 78% of time was saved, and the number of samples acquiredusing the proposed method during the offline phase was twice asmuch as that acquired using the conventional method. For the on-line phase, the location estimates have error distances of less than2.67 m. Therefore, the proposed approach is beneficial for use invarious LBS applications.

Urothelial Dysfunction and Chronic Inflammation are Associated With Increased Bladder Sensation in Patients With Chronic Renal Insufficiency

Sheng-Fu Cheng,Yuan-Hong Jiang,Hann-Chorng Kuo 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2018 International Neurourology Journal Vol.22 No.S2

Purpose: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients usually have lower urinary tract symptoms, such as frequency and urgency. Additionally, they frequently suffer from urinary tract infections. This study investigated dysfunction and chronic inflammation of the bladder urothelium in ESRD/CKD patients. Methods: This study enrolled 27 patients with CKD (n=13) or ESRD (n=14) for urodynamic studies and bladder biopsies. Patients presented with detrusor underactivity (DU; n=8) or bladder oversensitivity (BO; n=19). Bladder biopsies were performed in these patients and in 20 controls. The bladder mucosa was examined for E-cadherin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) expression, activated mast cell count (through tryptase staining), and urothelial apoptosis (through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling [TUNEL]). The urodynamic parameters were also compared with variables regarding urothelial dysfunction. Results: The bladder mucosa samples of ESRD and CKD patients revealed significantly higher mast cell counts, more urothelial apoptosis, and lower levels of ZO-1 expression than the control samples. E-cadherin expression was significantly reduced in ESRD/CKD patients with DU, but not in ESRD/CKD patients with BO. Increased mast cell and apoptotic cell counts were also associated with ESRD/CKD with BO. Less expression of ZO-1 and E-cadherin was significantly associated with increased bladder sensation and a small bladder capacity. Conclusions: Bladder urothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation were present to a noteworthy extent in patients with ESRD or CKD. Increased inflammation and defective barrier function were more notable in ESRD/CKD bladders with BO than in those with DU. The clinical characteristics of these patients may involve urothelial pathophysiology.
