우리나라는 초고령 사회(super-aged society)를 향해 가고 있으며, 이러한 압축적 고령화(compressed aging) 현상은 여러 가지 다양하고 복잡한 노인문제를 야기할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 고령화 시대 노인의 건강 증진과 삶의 질 향상을 목표로 노인 대상 댄스 게임 콘텐츠를 제안한다. 노인 대상 댄스게임을 디자인하기 위해 기존의 운동을 통한 노인 건강 유지 및 활동 개선에 대한 연구, 노인 대상 신체 운동 게임에 대한 연구 성과와 현재 서비스하고 있는 댄스게임을 살펴보았다. 운동은 정신적, 신체적, 사회적으로 건강하고 독립적인 삶의 질을 확보하기 위해 필요한 행동이다. 노화과정에서 나타나는 신체적, 인지적, 정신적 변화를 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 댄스의 강도, 빈도, 시간 등을 고려하여 운동 프로그램을 제안할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 손목에 착용할 수 있는 Gear S3와 같은 웨어러블 디바이스를 활용하여 헬스앱과 연동하여 노인이 심박수를 체크하면서 안전하고 즐겁게 운동을 할 수 있는 노인대상 댄스게임을 디자인하고 이를 제안하였다. 제안하는 댄스게임은 운동, 음악, 게임성이 합쳐진 콘텐츠로써 안전하고 지속적으로 노인들이 운동할 수 있도록 유인할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

This paper is designed to investigate that the sound environment enlarged tactile sense through the game media impacts positively on the human body, cognition, and emotions, focused on two cases: elementary students' music appreciation lessons and elderly patients' music therapy. Learners using smart-device-based rhythm action games showed a rise of learning flow, learning satisfaction and learning assessment, and also music game had a positive effect on the treatment of the depression and self-esteem for elderly patients in nursing hospital. These results are because smart devices based music game provides the users environments which artificially extend human senses, give tactile and visual stimuli as well as auditory, and encourage behavior of touching interface in rhythm. In conclusion, we examine that game creates sensus communis immersive environment which effectively contributes to learning of students and psychological treatment of elderly people.

Background : Undulatum Rhubarb, commonly produced in domestic, is rhizome of Rheum undulatum L. that belongs to the family Polygonaceae. It also can be used as a substitute of R. palmatum L., R. tanguticum Maximowicz ex Balf., and R. officinale Baillon which completely depend on import system. However, there should be clear clarification among Undulatum Rhubarb and Rhubarb, because Undulatum Rhubarb contains rhaponticin as marker compound that is not indicated at Rhubarb. Some of the recently imported Undulatum Rhubarbs have been found to be Rhubarb. Also, it is known that only Undulatum Rhubarb is cultivated at domestic environment. But some plant origins of Rhubarb are grown in Korea, too. Further study are needed to clarify clear origin between Undulatum Rhubarb and Rhubarb. Thus, we collected some domestically cultivated samples and identified them. Methods and Reseults : Rheum undulatum L., Rhubarb, Rheum tanguticum Maximowicz ex Balf. which were cultivated in Gangwondo Agricultural Research and Extension Services in Cheorwon were collected and anayzed the DNA sequences. We also compared DNA sequences in Rhubarb collected from England and R. rhabarbarum L., R. undulatum L., and R. franzenbachii on NCBI. As a result, two kinds of rhubarb cultivated in the test plantation were identified as R. rhabarbarum and R. officinale. In addition, R. undulatum (plant origin of Undulatum Rhubarb) was identified as Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) in England with 99 - 100% identical in nuclear ITS gene region. Conclusion : R. undulatum, plant origin of Undulatum Rhubarb, is reported as synonym of R. rhabarbarum, R. franzenbachii. Rheum speices which are cultivated as tester in Gangwondo Agricultural Research and Extension Services in Cheorwon are estimated as R. undulatum and R. officinale. Therefore, not only Undulatum Rhubarb but Rhubarb could be grown in Korea.

A new six-rowed naked waxy barley variety, ‘Saehanchal’, was developed by the barley breeding team of the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), R.D.A. This variety was derived from a cross between ‘SB7803G-BC6-B-B-47-2’ and ‘Suwon262’ in 1989. The fi
