This study aims to investigate the patterns and causes of the marital duration. Data used for this study are ten waves of Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) in 1998~2007, in which the final sample consists of 2,397 households. The Life-table method is used for describing the overall patterns of marital duration by birth-cohorts and different education groups, and the Cox proportional hazard regression model is used to identify significant factors on the marital duration. The results show that among the all respondents, the 0.79% has divorced or separated within five years after marriage, 2.12% within 10 years, and 5.84% within 20 years, respectively. In addition, the Cox regression results show that the marital duration is significantly affected by the birth-cohorts of respondents and their spouses, education level, earning of spouses, co-residence with parents, and household income. This implies that the hazard rate of marital disruption is higher for younger cohorts, individuals with lower education and economic status, persons living with parents-in-law, compared to their counterparts. Thus, it is necessary to implement social welfare policies applicable for these persons.

The subjects in this study were the dental hygiene students who were selected by convenience sampling from three different colleges. After a survey was conducted for about a month between March and April, 2011, the answer sheets from 561 students were analyzed. As for the sociopsychological stress of the dental hygiene students, economic stress was the heaviest sociopsychological stress that the students suffered(3.17). Regarding differences in each stressor according to general characteristics, they were more stressed out about their economy, families, interpersonal relationships and studies when they had a less conversation with their families. And they had more stress about their economy, families, interpersonal relationships and studies when they found themselves to be more unhealthy. The gaps between them and the others were statistically significant. As a result of analyzing the influential factors for their stress, they had more stress when they had a less conversation with their families(p<0.001) and when they found themselves not to be in good health(p<0.001). It's required to seek ways for dental hygiene students to cope with their stress properly, and the development of stress management programs is necessary.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with sexual debut among Korean middle school students. Methods: From the database of the Eighth Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS), the researchers selected 37,297 middle school students aged 12-15 years. Data were analyzed using $x^2$ test and multiple logistic regression with the SPSS WIN 18.0 program. Results: The proportion of middle school students who had a sexual debut was 2.1% of boys and 1.5% of girls. In multiple regression analysis, economic status, experience of part time work, smoking, drug use and depression were associated with an increased proportion of sexual intercourse for both boys and girls. Living with parents, drinking alcohol and suicidal ideation were associated with sexual debut for boys only. By contrast, formal sexual education was associated with a reduced risk of sexual debut. Conclusion: The results of this study show the factors associated with sexual debut among Korean middle school students. Gender-related interventions should be taken into consideration in school sexual education programmes, because of differences in related factors according to gender.

다시마(Laminaria japonica) 생태육종 연구의 일환으로 완도산과 백령도산 품종의 재배시험을 전남 고흥군 명천어장과 계도어장에서 2001년부터 2002년까지 실시하였다. 시험기간 중 어장의 수온, 염분농도, 유속, 용존산소농도는 구간별로 유의차가 없었으며 수온은 1월부터 7월까지 점차 상승하였고, 염분농도는 5월까지 상승하다가 6월과 7월에 낮아졌다. 유속은 저층에서보다 표층에서 빨랐고, 용존산소농도는 1월부터 7월까지 점차적으로 낮아졌다. 어장의 영양염 변화는 구간별로 1월부터 7월까지 유의차가 없었으며 암모니아염이 5월에 다소 증가하였다. 일반적으로 전장과 엽폭은 4월까지 증가하다가 끝녹음으로 인하여 4월이후에는 다소 감소하였으나, 엽두께, 전중량, 비대도는 7월까지 계속적으로 증가하였다. 형질간의 상관관계는 모두 1%와 5% 수준에서 유의차가 있었다. 각형질에 있어서 품종과 환경간에 월별로 질적교호작용과 양적교호작용중 어느 한 쪽이 나타났다. 품종시험에 의한 유전력은 엽폭에서 가장 높았고, 엽두께에서 가장 낮았다. 표현형상관, 유전상관, 환경상관계수는 형질간에 대부분 높은 값을 보였으나 엽두께와 전중량간의 값이 일반적으로 낮았다. 부모와 자식간의 회귀에 의한 유전력은 계도어장의 엽두께에서 가장 높았으나 일반적으로 전중량에서 높았고, 육종가와 유전상관은 전중량에서 가장 높았다. 각 형질의 상대적 경제 가치를 고려한 선발 총점은 명천어장에서의 완도산 품종에서 가장 높았다.
