Dyslexia is an obstacle for reading that should be found and treated in the early stage. Although dyslexia is not a common symptom appeared many people, they are alienated group which the government should pay attention and support. Yet the government of the Republic of Korea has low awareness and interests on dyslexia. This study aims to survey on measuring the awareness of parents, elementary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, and school librarians, who should sensitively distinguish dyslexia among children in its full-swing time, and to find their perception gaps. In order to gain result, this study conducted questionnaire survey targeting parents, elementary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, and school librarians resided in metropolis, small and medium sized cities, and farming and fishing village, with the total number of 623 people, and analyzed their answers using SPSS 20.0 program. The research shows that awareness on dyslexia depends on their jobs, residence, gender, knowledge on dyslexia, and experience in encountering a person in dyslexia.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the semantic relations of terms in STNet, a structured terminology dictionary based on author keywords of humanities, social sciences, and art and sport in the Korea Citation Index (KCI) and to describe the procedure for optimizing the relation types and specifying the name of relationships. The results indicate that four logical criteria, such as creating new names for relationships or limitation of typing the relationship by the appearance frequency of same type, consideration of direction of relationship, reflection to accept the existing name of relationships, are required for the optimization of the typing and naming the relationships. We applied these criteria to the relationships in the class “real person” of STNet and the result shows that 1,135 out of 1,743 uncertain relationships such as RT, RT_X or RT_Y are specified and clarified. This rate of optimization with ca. 65% represents the usefulness of the criteria applicable to the cases of database construction and retrieval.

Although social media is recognized as a Web service that allows people to share and utilize their own opinion, experience and information, it is also faced with some problems such as indiscreet information creation and sharing, which resulted in the decline of reliability of information. This research statistically analyzed the effect of social media on information sharing. As a result, social media is an efficient information tool that can support information sharing and allow people to get feedback from other people. It also brought a positive effect on the entire information behavior. In contrast, it still has weaknesses in the utilization of information, including the decline of information reliability and excessive creation of inaccurate information. Eventually, social media is an information tool that can support the diversification of information and also incurs the decline of reliability of information.

This study examined the feasibility of using EEG signals and ERP P3b for extracting video key-frames based on users’ cognitive responses. Twenty participants were used to collect EEG signals. This research found that the average amplitude of right parietal lobe is higher than that of left parietal lobe when relevant images were shown to participants; there is a significant difference between the average amplitudes of both parietal lobes. On the other hand, the average amplitude of left parietal lobe in the case of non-relevant images is lower than that in the case of relevant images. Moreover, there is no significant difference between the average amplitudes of both parietal lobes in the case of non-relevant images. Additionally, the latency of MGFP1 and channel coherence can be also used as criteria to extract key-frames.
