Background: The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the lung has been increasing worldwide, and it has been generally been accepted to be relatively unrelated to smoking with a female preponderance. The aim of this study was to examine the gender-related pathological and survival differences in patients with an adenocarcinoma of the lung. Material and Method: A retrospective review of the clinical information of patients diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of the lung at Kosin Medical Center from January 1999 to September 2005 was performed. The patient's demographics (age, gender), smoking history, stage, serum tumor marker, pathology classification, EGFR mutation, K-ras mutation, treatment methods, and survival time were analyzed. Result: Of the 438 patients, 179 (40.9%) were female. The median age at the diagnosis was 58 years for females and 59 years for males. However, 25.8% of women and only 17.7% of men were under 50 years of age (p=0.02). The distribution of the disease stage was similar in both men and women. The bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component was diagnosed more often in women (11.2%) than in men (5.0%). The overall survival rate was higher in women than in men (p=0.01), and women had a superior therapeutic response to a combined treatment of surgery and chemotherapy. Conclusion: This study showed significant genders differences in terms of the smoking history, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component, overall survival, and survival after combined treatment of surgery and chemotherapy. Therefore, gender differences should be considered when diagnosing and treating adenocarcinomas of the lung.

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of marriage and parenthood on the physical and mental health, in consideration of gender differences. We have retested various theories including Gove's inequality theory to explain how marriage and parenthood affect the contemporary Korean men and women. This study tries to answer these questions by analyzing the data from ${\ulcorner}$Successful Midlife Development: Survey on Mental health and Work/Family Life Course in Korea and the United States (Han et at., 2001)${\lrcorner}. The data were collected from the survey of 1696 adults (women: 49.5% (n=839)) at the age of 27 to 60. In this survey, physical and mental health were evaluated in three dimensions, respectively: depression, perceived physical health and illness symptoms. The results were that occupying both marital and parental status showed better health profile than possessing other role combinations(single parent/married but no child/never-married). Gender differences and other findings have been discussed further.

본 연구는 국가교육과정에서 문자 교육 입문기인 초등학교 1학년을 대상으로 하여 글자크기와 성별에 따른 가독성 차이를 알아보기 위한 연구로서 초등학교 1학년 학생에게 교과서 본문에 쓰이는 글자 크기는 실제 학습에 있어 가독성에 유의미한지 초등학교 1학년 학생들은 성별에 따라 본문 읽기는 어떤 다른 가독성 효과를 보이는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. 본 논문 주제에 대한 접근방법으로 먼저, 가독성의 개념, 가독성에 영향을 미치는 요소, 가독성 측정방법에 대한 고찰과 함께 초등학교 1학년 교과서 본문 글자 크기와 성별에 따라 가독성이 어떻게 달라지는지에 대하여 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 초등학교 1학년 대상으로 글자 크기에 따른 가독성 차이를 살펴봄으로써 현행 교과서의 체제 개선에 필요한 기초 자료를 마련하고 성별에 따라 가독성 효과가 어떻게 차이가 나는지 살펴봄으로써 성별에 따른 남녀의 언어 발달 차이에 대한 이해와 성별에 따른 읽기 지도 전략에 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

This study analyzes the male-female difference in self-employment rates in Korea using panel data constructed from the Economically Active Population Survey in 1999. Given that most studies on self-employment have focused on male self-employment and have not examined why self-employment rate is usually higher among males than females, this study certainly extends the existing literature on this subject This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with estimating self-employment rates for males and female within a Markov framework. The second part presents decomposition results of the male-female differential in self-employment rates. Major findings of the study are (1) self-employment rate is higher for males than females because entry into self-employment is larger but exit from self-employment is smaller for males than female, (2) higher entry probability for males is due to differences in coefficients of transition probability functions while lower exit probability for males is due to differences in characteristics, (3) a large part of male-female gap in self-employment rates results from differences in being a head of family, marital status and age between males and females.

In order to examine differential mortality, the life tables for the insured persons in national pension scheme were estimated by sex and types of coverage(the insured in workplaces vs. the insured in rural areas). The averages of 1994-1996 data are used for insured in workplaces, but 1996 data are used for insured in rural areas. Life expectancies at the age of 18 are 59.5 years and 67.2 years each for insured males and females and thus 7.7 years longer for females than males in workplaces. Sex difference in mortality reduces as age increases, and more rapidly at younger ages than old ages. For insured in rural areas, life expectancies at the age of 18 are 51.4 years and 61.1 years each for insured males and females and thus sex difference is 9.7 years. The greater sex difference in mortality in rural areas can be explained by sex selective migration. The difference of life expectancy between insured in workplaces and insured in rural areas is 8.1 years for males, and 6.1 years for females. Because rural-urban difference in educational attainment is greater for males than females, the greater difference in life expectancy is observed for males than females.

한국 중년 남녀들의 무급노동을 비교 분석하려는 목적을 가진 본 연구는 가사노동과 가족들 보기를 하는 비율과 그 시간량을 분석하고 있다. 가사노동과 가족돌보기가 여전히 여성들의 몫으로 간주된다고는 하지만 얼마나 많은 여성과 남성들이 이러한 일들을 하고 있으며, 이에 사용되는 시간이 얼마인지에 대한 구체적인 분석을 드물다. 본 연구에서는 1999년도 생활시간조사를 이용하여 한국의 40대와 50대 중년층의 가사노동과 가족돌보기를 행하는 비율과 그 시간량을 기술하는 한편, 이들의 가구, 개인, 거주지역 및 요일특성에 따른 차이를 제시하고 있다. 주요 결과로는 중년층 여자들의 경우 본 연구에서 고려한 특성과 관계없이 대부분이 가사노동을 하고 있는 반면, 남자들은 특성에 따라 가사노동을 하는 비율의 차이가 발견된다는 것이다. 또한 가사노동 시간량에서는 남자들과는 달리 여자들에게서 동거가구원이 적을수록 가사노동의 시간 또한 적음을 알 수 있다. 가족돌보기의 경우에는 가구특성이 중요하게 나타나고 있다. 특히 남자들과는 달리, 여자들 중에서 유배우자들은 무배우자들보다 가족돌보기를 하는 비율이나 시간이 많은 것으로 나타난다. 이는 남편이 아내를 돌보기보다는 아내가 남편을 수발하거나 보살피는 것이 더 보편적임을 다시 확인시켜 준다.

This study aimed to identify gender differences in sexual harassment awareness, sexual attitude, and correlation between them among college students. Data were collected in a 4-year university in Jeollanam-do and a total of 127 female and 93 male college students participated in this study in April, 2018. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. Male students' level of sexual harassment awareness were lower than femal's (p<.001). Male's sexual attitude was more conservative, but difference of sexual attitude between male and female was not statistically significant (p=.073). This study presented that the more conservative sexual attitude was related to the higher level of sexual harassment awareness in male group. On the contrary, the more conservative sexual attitude was related to the lower level of sexual harassment awareness in female group. It is necessary to develop a gender-specific sexual harassment prevention education program.
