Purpose: This study investigated the impact of ametropia and myopia on health-related quality of life (QoL) measures in elementary schoolers. Methods: Elementary school children of 92 aged 12 to 13 were divided into emmetropia and myopia groups by spherical equivalent. Then myopia was classified into the low, moderate and high myopia groups. Vision-related QoL scores were determined using PedsQL 4.0 (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) with physical health (8 items), emotional functioning (4 items), social functioning (5 items) and school functioning (5 items). Results: The total QoL score in the myopia group appeared lower than that in the emmetropia group, however the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). When it comes to physical health (running or exercising) and social functioning (getting along with friends or being teased)-related questions, the QoL score in myopia was low compared with the emmetropia group (p<0.05). High myopia showed a low score in physical health items but there was no significant difference in overall QoL scores in comparison with other groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: Refractive errors does not have a great impact on the total health-related QoL in elementary school children but it causes discomfort in physical health and social functioning.

Most of the convergence studies argue the reform of the current policy regime of broadcasting and telecommunications in Korea from two perspectives: 1) the media governance perspective and 2) the media industry perspective. The former emphasizes the need of integrity, consistency and efficiency of the regime in the convergence environment, while the latter focuses upon the growth and development of the media industry making the best of economic and industrial opportunities that are spawned by digital convergence. Although their arguments are logical and robust, they are lopsided in terms of legalism and myopic economism due to the linear perception of institutionalism, Bureaucratic administrative practices as well as ostentatious IT policies that have chronically plagued the policy regime in Korea cannot be resolved by simply assimilating distinct regulatory bodies and laws. Unless these two issues are properly addressed, the convergence of media policy institutions would end up a half-success or half-failure contrary to the exportations of existing studies.

Purpose: The kappa angles of human eye were measured by photographs. The relationship between the dominant eye and far refractivity is studied. Methods: 112 adults participated in this study. The mean age was $22.54{\pm}5.90$ years. The kappa angles were measured by the deviation of the flash image in the photographs of eye. the dominant eye and the far refractivity were analyzed. Results: The distributions of kappa angles were 78.6% (176 eyes) in the positive angle, 15.2% (34 eyes) in the negative angle, and 6.2% (14 eyes) in the $0^{\circ}$. The kappa angles were $4.50{\pm}4.70^{\circ}$ for the dominant eye, $4.93{\pm}4.34^{\circ}$ for the non-dominant eye, $+6.00{\pm}2.22^{\circ}$ for the hypermetropia, $4.91{\pm}4.97^{\circ}$ for the emmetropia, and $+4.61{\pm}4.49^{\circ}$ for the myopia. The biggest kappa angles was odserved in the hypermetropia and the angles was getting smaller in the emmetropia, and the myopia. Conclusions: The kappa angle of the dominant eye was smaller than non-dominant eye. The kappa angle was smaller as the far refractivity is lower. The kappa angle can be directly measured by the photographic method.

Subjective and objective visions were measured on young adults(mean 21 yrs, 126 eyes) who were free of any ocular diseases and laser surgery and none wore contact lenses. The aim of this study was to investigate the diurnal variation of vision through subjective and objective measurements. Subjective visual acuity were measured at 5 m three times a day, morning(8:00 AM-10:00 AM), noon(12:00 PM-2:00 PM) and afternoon(4:00 PM-6:00 PM). The instrument used for objective refraction right after visual acuity measurement was Nvision-K 5001(shin-nippon) which unique in being able to disregard subject's accommodation because of its unrestricted viewing conditions. Also, we measured that three times and then calculated the average values. The result showed that an average subjective visual acuity in the morning, noon, afternoon were 0.256(${\pm}0.263$), 0.266(${\pm}0.276$), 0.242(${\pm}0.249$) respectively. Average spherical equivalent power in objective refraction of right eyes showed -3.416 D(${\pm}2.907$), -3.359 D(${\pm}2.735$), -3.297 D(${\pm}2.709$) respectively and dioptric power was decreased from morning to afternoon. Vision changed throughout the day in both subjective and objective measurements nevertheless its variations were statistically insignificant(p<0.05). Therefore it does not seem to matter of time for either visual acuity test or refraction.

Purpose: To analyse the addition power of new wearer of progressive addition lenses. Methods: Data of 636 subjects who have been prescribed progressive addition lenses as the first time were used for analyse. The range of age for was between 41~78 years old and they visited the optical practice in Gwangju metropolitan city from 2001 to 2013Date of refractive state, gender and age were analysed. Results: The difference of addition by gender was 1.71 D in male and 1.67 D in women. The difference of addition by refractive error was 1.67 D in emmetropic patients and 1.74 D in myopic patients, 1.90 D in hyperopic patients. The difference of addition by age was1.26 D in 41~44 years old sge group, 1.48 D in 45~49 years old age group,1.72 D in 50~54 years old age group 1.84 D in 55~59 years old age group, 2.10 D in 60~64 years old age group and 2.43 D in over 65 years old age group. The difference of addition by diopter in myopic patients was 1.58 D in low myopic patients and 1.48 D in middle myopic patients, 1.67 D in high myopic patients. The difference of addition by axis of astigmatism was 1.80 D in with-the-rule astigmatism, 1.64 D in against-the-rule astigmatism and 1.65 D in oblique astigmatism. Conclusions: The Addition power of progressive lenses were different according to the types of refractive error, astigmatism axis and age.

Purpose While individuals have unique abilities for planned behavior, they also often act irrationally. In this study, we draw on myopic loss aversion perspective as a meta-theoretical lens to explain why mobile applications users have inertia from updating their applications, ultimately leading them to use current version of applications. Design/methodology/approach Based on a survey of 219 users, this study conducts its research model using partial least square analysis and also demonstrates that both subconscious triggers (habit and anxiety) of system 1 thinking and conscious triggers (sunk cost and transition cost) of system 2 thinking promotes user's inertia, thus leading to the willness to continue use current versions. Findings By grounding the research model in the combination of both status quo bias and dual information processing theory from the behavioral economics, this study provide an alternative theoretical lens to describe why mobile users hesitate to update their applications. The results of this research show that all triggers have significant impacts on inertia. This study also found that the relationship between inertia and willingness to continue to use current version was positively significant.

최근 급속한 도시화에 따른 토지이용 증가와 토지이용 효율성의 증대는 불투수 표면의 확대, 유역의 조도계수 감소와 함께 유입시간의 단축, 수로망 정비에 의한 첨두유량의 증가, 도달시간의 감소를 발생시켜, 수로의 통수능 증가와 저류량의 급격한 감소 등 전반적인 수문현상의 변화를 가져와 도시 하천유역에 홍수 피해를 빈번히 발생시키고 있을 뿐만 아니라 근시안적인 난개발로 인해 하천 생태계가 파괴되는 등 하천 오염이 갈수록 심각해지고 있다. 근년에 들어 이런 문제 해결을 위해 하천정비시 자연형 개념을 도입하여 공사가 시행되고 있으며 본 연구의 대상하천으로 선정된 온천천이 부산의 그 대표적인 예라 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 자연형 하천의 복원에 따른 홍수위 변화와 피해 분석을 위해 먼저 온천천이 자연형 하천으로 복원되기 이전의 하도 단면과 복원 후 변화된 하도 단면으로 분류하였으며, GIS 기법을 이용해 공간 지형자료를 정량적으로 산출하였다. 하천 복원에 따른 특성 분석을 위하여 부산지방기상청으로부터 수집된 강우자료를 이용하여 확률강우량을 산정한 후 빈도별 홍수량을 산정하였다. 산정된 빈도별 홍수량을 HEC-RAS(River Analysis System) 모형에 적용하여 복원 전.후의 홍수위를 모의한 결과 온천천의 친수공간을 대표하는 주요지점에 대해 안전하다고 판단되었으나 온천천이 시민들의 친수공간으로 이용되고 있는 자연형 하천임을 고려할 때 돌발홍수에 대한 홍수예경보가 반드시 필요하다고 본다.
