This study was to examine the correlation between the brain function of adult suffering from obesity and the level of their obesity based on brainwave measurements. Based on the result of Body Composition Analysis (BCA) examination, population of 651 overweight pupils was chosen from June 2011 to December of 2012 in S city, I hospital. These patients were measured by timeseries linear analysis for their brain function and observed via brainwave activities. The results have been thus far; first, as their BMI (Body Mass Index) and level of obesity (body fat percentage) were higher, degree of mental stress and resistant to stress marked lower. These results prove that by managing the stress resistant ability and attention ability, self-controlling ability, one can expect a positive effect on finding a methods to ease the obese-related problems.

전 세계적으로 지구 온난화로 인해 발생한 가뭄은 사회적, 경제적, 환경적으로 막대한 피해를 야기하고 있다. 국내의 경우, 2022년부터 현재까지 지속되고 있는 가뭄 상황은 강수의 지역적 편차로 인해 남부 지역 중심으로 극심한 피해가 발생하였다. 남부 지역의 주요 용수공급원인 영산강, 섬진강권역의 용수 공급율은 예년의 57%(3.8억 톤)에 불과하며, 일부 도서·산간 지역은 용수공급이 제한되는 현상까지 발생하였다. 이러한 가뭄 피해를 대비하기 위해 초기에 모니터링을 통한 선제적 대응 방안을 구축해야 한다. 가뭄 모니터링의 경우 미계측 지역에 대한 모니터링 방법으로 주기적이고 균질한 자료를 제공 받을 수 있는 위성영상을 활용한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 가뭄을 정량적으로 분석하고 판단하기 위해 가뭄지수를 활용하고 있으며, 대표적인 가뭄지수는 지상 관측강수량자료를 활용한 확률분포 기반의 표준강수지수 (Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI)와 강수 및 기온의 변동성이 포함된 표준강수증발산지수 (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, SPEI)가 있으며, 위성영상 자료를 활용한 가뭄지수인 증발스트레스지수(Evaporative Stress Index, ESI) 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 강수와 기온을 고려한 가뭄지수인SPEI와 위성영상 기반의 가뭄지수인 ESI를 활용하여 2022년 남부 지역의 가뭄 사상을 중심으로 지표별 시공간적 변화를 분석하고자 한다. SPEI의 경우 기상관측소 지점자료의 기온과 강수량을 활용하였으며, Terra 위성의 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 센서에서 제공되는 위성영상자료를 활용한 ESI는 미계측 지역에 대한 가뭄 판단을 위해 시·군별로 세분화하여 산정하였다.

Objectives: This study was designed to assess the change of heart rate variability (HRV) at resting, upright, and psychological stress in anxiety disorder patients. Methods: HRV was measured at resting, upright, and psychological stress states in 60 anxiety disorder patients. We used visual analogue scale (VAS) score to assess tension and stress severity. Beck depression inventory (BDI) and state trait anxiety inventories I and II (STAI-I and II) were used to assess depression and anxiety severity. Differences between HRV indices were evaluated using paired t-tests. Gender difference analysis was accomplished with ANCOVA. Results: SDNN (Standard deviation of normal RR intervals) and low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) were significantly increased, while NN50, pNN50, and normalized HF (nHF) were significantly decreased in the upright position compared to resting state (p < 0.01). SDNN, root mean square of the differences of successive normal to normal intervals, and LF/HF were significantly increased, while nHF was significantly decreased in the psychological stress state compared to resting state (p < 0.01). SDNN, NN50, pNN50 were significantly lower in upright position compared to psychological stress and nVLF, nLF, nHF, and LF/HF showed no significant differences between them. Conclusion: The LF/HF ratio was significantly increased after both physical and psychological stress in anxiety disorder, but did not show a significant difference between these two stresses. Significant differences of SDNN, NN50, and pNN50 without any differences of nVLF, nLF, nHF, and LF/HF between two stresses might suggest that frequency domain analysis is more specific than time domain analysis.

This study was about the relation of 129 differently stressed male college students's on or off-line contact behavior to out-eating places. We researched the subjects's obesity degree such as body fat percentage, body mass index, stress condition, and contact behavior to out-eating places. Subjects's average age was 20, height 174.9cm. More stress they felt, heavier their body weight was and more obese. 37.1% of Strongly stressed group, 28.8% of medium and 25% of normal stressed group felt severe depression. As the result of pearson correlation, stress condition was positively related with body weight, obese degree, body mass index(BMI) and exercise time. Body weight was positively related with obeses degree, BMI, and the amount of smoking and drinks. Strongly stressed group used more internet to search the information about out-eating places, they had more experience to search the homepage of out-eating places than other groups significantly. Strongly stressed group cared more about the sanity of out-eating places where they ate. and they were interested in various experiences than other groups. Strongly stressed group felt the tasty was the most important satisfying factor significantly and visited the out-eating place that satisfied them again than other groups.

The purpose of this study conducted in the United States was to identify the level of role stressors among professions at centers for independent living and to investigate the relationship between role stressors and burnout at the target population. A total of 218 professions completed a web-based and hard copy survey. The participants reported a mean (standard deviation) score of 22.48 (5.80) for the role conflict dimension, 22.20 (4.30) for the role ambiguity dimension, and 9.14 (2.55) for the role overload. Demographic assessment of the differences on the mean score of the three role stressors revealed significant associations with that age, job title, highest level of education, years of human service experience and working hours per week for role conflict/role ambiguity, and experience in human service for role overload. The role conflict, ambiguity, and overload stressors were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization explaining 26% and 14% of the variance, respectively. None of the stressors significant predicted personal accomplishment. The results indicate that role conflict, ambiguity, and overload are important predictors of burnout among professions at centers for independent living.
