The rate of single-person households has been increasing all over the world, and there has been a particularly rapid increase in them in Korea. Single-person households show unique and various characteristics related to the reasons for becoming a single-person household, gender, life cycle, and so on. Thus, research needs to focus on the specific groups of single-person households in order to provide tailored policies and programs. This study segmented single-person households in three groups based on life cycle: young, middle-aged, and older adults. Differences in the level of healthy lifestyle, as well as factors affecting that, were investigated according to the groups. The data were collected in 2022, with 237 respondents from single-person households in Kimpo. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The overall level of healthy lifestyle was found to be significantly higher for young adults compared to older adults. Results from multiple regression show that significant factors related to the healthy lifestyle of single-person households were gender, educational attainment, whether becoming a single-person household was voluntary, and whether the respondents had experienced discrimination as a single-person household. Significant factors differed by the sub-categories of the healthy lifestyle scale. This study has implications related to discovering differences in the level of healthy lifestyles of single-person households through examining the factors affecting it according to life cycle.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the recognition and satisfaction with the menu quality of food services in an immigration detention center. The survey was conducted from January 22, 2010 to April 22, 2010 by questionnaires. A survey with 265 respondents was conducted and data analyzed by the SAS Program. In analyzing leftovers, the most common was kimchi (37.61%), followed by breads (21.52%), and beans/bean curd (17.99%). The common cause for leftover were undesirable taste (31.84%), sickness or a lack of desire for eating (19.85%). In terms of cooking methods, stir-frying, broiling, and frying were highly preferred to steaming, boiling, and salting. In the analysis of preferences in the taste and satisfaction of food service, there were significant differences in hot, sour, bitter, and light tastes (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Satisfaction was low with hot and light tastes, whereas sour and the bitter tastes showed a high degree of satisfaction. In the opinions for quality improvement, most immigrants wanted a tastier food supply (58.69%), a diverse food supply (40.54%), and clean utensils (36.68%). In the analysis of the gap between importance and performance, food taste, variety, and sanitation were recognized as poorly performed, causing major dissatisfaction with the food. The overall satisfaction score was 'average' (3 points out of 5 points) with 3.26 points. The satisfaction score showed insignificant difference depending on religions and duration of stay in Korea, but showed significant differences depending on nationality (p<0.001).

From oral literature to the online game, the narrative has been extended to be comprehensive of various temporal and meaningful facets. Antagonism between the desire and the obstacle propels the narrative story of the game and film. Essential to the concept of antagonism is the role of an antagonist with power to endanger the protagonist; the strength of that force grabs the spectator's interest. An antagonist becomes the obstacle that guards the distance between a protagonist's desire and ability to attain ti. Although an antagonist is the obstacle to overcome in a story, for ordinary people, the intense rivalry between the pro and antagonist offers an unlimited framework for the discussion of game with film narrative which create an interplay of desire and identification. In this paper, I am going to analyze the diverse aspects of the antagonist in the spectator's fantasy of the visual story such as film and multimedia.

The purpose of this study is to establish the concept of the blind zone of social services and analyzing the conditions by children, the elderly, the disabled, and the poor. This study used the raw data of demand/supply of social service and sample size is 4,038. Results of the study were as follows. First, in terms of the coverage, the biggest blind zones of social service are the employment support and cultural service. These results were similar for all households. But, it is noteworthy that the size and proportion of blind zones of housing support services for children, counseling services for elderly are relatively big. Second, in terms of adequacy, the most serious blind zones of social service are health and the employment support service. Especially, the elderly, the disabled, and the poor are not the most adequate adult care services and children are community service. Based on such findings, this study suggests expansion of employment support services and health care, monitoring for the services analyzed to be over-supply, and intensive involvement of private sectors about the services provided by the government of a large blind zone.

유사배(劉師培)는 '반청(反淸)'에서 반전통의 '무정부주의'로, 그리고 '친청(親淸)'으로 변절하는 파란만장한 삶을 살았다. "중국민약정의(中國民約精義)"는 유사배(劉師培)가 무정부운동을 하기 전, 즉 1903년에 완성한 저서다. 1903년은 유사배(劉師培)가 고향을 떠나 상해(上海)에서 반만(反滿) 운동을 시작했던 시기이고, 1907년 일본으로 유학가기 전 4년 여 동안 유사배(劉師培)는 반청(反淸) 운동에 적극적이었다. 따라서 "중국민약정의(中國民約精義)"는 무정부주의자들의 이념인 '반전통(反傳統)'의 관점에서 저술된 것이 아님을 알 수 있다. "중국민약정의(中國民約精義)" 서문은 다음과 같은 중요한 의미를 내포하고 있다. 첫째, 유사배(劉師培)가 참조한 루소의 "민약론"은 양정동(楊廷棟)이 일본어판을 보고 중국어로 번역한 "민약론"이다. 둘째, "민약론"의 내용은 널리 알려지지 않았다. 셋째, 원고는 1903년 이전에 완성되었고, 책은 1904년에 출판되었다. 유사배(劉師培)는 "주역"을 통해서는 '군민(君民)의 일체(一體)'를, "상서"를 통해서는 '군민(君民)이 국가의 공동주인'임을 밝혔다. "시"는 '민의(民意)의 표현'이라고 했으며, "춘추"를 통해 군주세습제와 민권(民權) 그리고 민의(民意)에 의해 관료 등용 등을 주장했다. "논어"를 통해서는 군신(君臣)의 대등 관계와 군민의 일체를 다시 강조하고, "맹자"와 "순자"를 통해 군주가 신성불가침의 영역이 아니기 때문에 민의(民意)를 근거로 군주도 바꿀 수 있다고 했다. 유사배(劉師培)의 이러한 주장만 놓고 보면, 중국은 비록 전제군주체제에 있었지만, 사람들은(人民) 민주제도를 향유한 것 같다. 그러나 실제로는 이와는 정반대의 길을 걸었던 것이 중국이다. 문제는 유사배(劉師培)의 주장처럼 루소의 "민약론"에 버금가는 사상과 역사적 사실이 있었음에도 불구하고, 그것을 제도화된 적이 없다는 점이다. 유사배(劉師培)가 "중국민약정의(中國民約精義)"에서 서술한 '민약(民約)'은 치도(治道) 방면과 비슷하다. 그러나 정도(政道) 방면에 대해서는 거의 언급이 없다. 게다가 서술된 '민약'의 내용이 한 번도 제도화된 적이 없다는 점에 대해 아무런 언급이 없다. 결국 비록 "중국민약정의(中國民約精義)"가 중국 전통사상에서 서구의 '민주' 개념을 모색했다는 점에서 높이 평가할 수 있으나, 그것을 제도화하지 못하고 또 치도(治道)에만 치중해 서술한 점이 "중국민약정의(中國民約精義)"의 약점이다.

As life expectancy has increased, health status becomes an important factor on life. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has led to the development of a variety of healthcare devices and applications that make it easier and more convenient to manage health. In particular, the area of individual genetic analysis with Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) has expanded, and genetic information is used to treat and prevent diseases according to individual differences. This study analyzes the genetic information of individuals, that is, SNP variant, and identifies specific chronic disease risk groups such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension. After then we will propose a customized nutrition information service. In addition the service of regional exercise management will be provided, to encourage exercise based on walking courses and sports center information in residential areas. Based on the GPS, it will design the service of exercise management that can encourage exercise by providing walking course and sports center information in the residential area.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the need for hospice care between families of children and adults with cancer. Methods: The data was collected from 190 families of children and adult with cancer using self-rating questionnaires from December, 2004 to February, 2005. Data was analyzed using SPSS/Win program by Mean, SD and t-test. Results: The mean score of the need for hospice care in families of children with cancer was greater significantly than in families of adults with cancer (t=-2.126, P=.035). The scores of two factors among the five factors evaluated for the need for hospice care were different significantly. The mean score of control of major terminal physical symptoms' in families of children with cancer was greater significantly than the mean score of adults with cancer (t=-2.165, P=.032). The mean score of 'spiritual care to prepare for death' in families of adults with cancer was greater significantly than the mean score of children with cancer (t=-2.380, P=.018). Conclusion: For improving the quality of life for both patients and families, the hospice service program needs to consider the life cycle of patients.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors related to xerostomia in patients with systemic diseases, and the results were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis. There were 62 respondents (56.9%) who reported dry mouth and the season of the most severe dry mouth was reported to be the highest during winter. According to the analysis made in the relationship of xerostomia with the awareness of general health and health behavior, the group that understood their own health poorly, had more than two kinds of diseases, and had been administered more than two kinds of daily medication showed higher xerostomia. Also, those who experienced desperation, had high dryness in other parts of the body, and heavy snoring were more aware of xerostomia (p<0.05). According to the analysis made in the relationship between xerostomia and awareness of oral health state, the group that understood their oral health poorly and had pain in the oral mucous membrane and halitosis was more aware of xerostomia (p<0.05). According to the analysis made in the relationship between quality of life and xerostomia, the group that showed high level of problem in daily living and stress and were self-conscious and felt tense due to halitosis reported more xerostomia (p<0.05). Finally, xerostomia was most correlated with consciousness of the eyes of others due to halitosis followed by the number of transferred systemic diseases and stress level. Based on such results, xerostomia was understood to be an obstacle in maintaining favorable social life and health. Since xerostomia was shown to be related to the number of transferred systemic diseases, the dental professions are asked to further improve their understanding not only on oral health but also systemic diseases. Therefore, these efforts are expected to prevent xerostomia and reduce various complications caused by xerostomia.

Visual culture art education (VCAE) seems to be the new paradigm for art education after postmodernism. Getting beyond the traditional art education, VCAE has expanded its scope of interest to include the visual environment that surrounds our life, thus pushing the boundary of art education beyond the traditional fine arts to cover pop culture and visual art. VCAE shares the issues as well as a lot of elements of culture and art education and in fact serves as a major theoretic background for culture and art education, in that it pays attention to the sociocultural context of images and emphasizes visual literacy and constructionist learning. In this paper, I have reviewed the theoretical background and related issues of VCAE with a view to presenting a direction for animation education, which is gaining in importance coming into the Age of Digital Media. VCAE was born in the progressive cultural atmosphere from the 1970s and thereafter, and its gist consists in figuring out visual artifacts and their action in order to improve individual and social life. Yet, VCAE continues with its development according to the changing aspects of visual culture, and currently, it is expanding its scope of interest to cover the esthetic, experiential education in visual culture and construction of meaning through digital story-telling. In the visual environment of the Digital Age, animation is establishing itself as the center of the visual culture, being a form that goes beyond an art genre or technology to realize images throughout the visual culture. Also, VCAE, which has so far emphasized visual communication and critical reading of culture, would need to reflect the new aspects of the visual culture in digital animation across the entire gamut from experiencing to understanding and appreciating art education. In this paper, I emphasize on Cross-Curricula, social reconstruction, the expansion of animation education, interests in animation as a digital media, and animation literacy. A study of animation education from the perspective of VCAE will not only provide a theoretical basis for establishing animation education, but also enrich the content of VCAE, traditionally focused on critical text reading, and promote its contemporary and futuristic orientation.
