악취란 황화수소, 메르캅탄류, 아민류, 기타 자극성이 있는 기체상 물질이 사람의 후각을 자극하여 불쾌감과 혐오감을 주는 냄새로서 사람에게 심리적.정신적 피해를 주는 감각오염이라 할 수 있다. 악취 유발물질을 비롯하여 대기중으로 배출된 오염물질의 거동은 오염물질의 물리ㆍ화학적인 특성뿐만 아니라, 기온, 풍향, 풍속, 혼합고, 대기안정도 등 다양한 국지 기상인자의 영향을 받게된다. 특히 악취유발물질은 다른 대기오염물질과는 달리 미량에서도 불쾌감을 주고 그 원인물질이 상당히 많을 뿐만 아니라 물질간의 반응기작이 매우 복잡하다.

본 연구는 쾌하고 안정의 감성을 유발하는 향과 상대적으로 쾌도가 작고 각성의 감성을 유발하는 향이 스트레스 자극 후에 안정 상태로의 회복에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고자 하였다. 사용된 향은 100%의 Rose oil bulgarian, Lemon oil misitano, Jasmin abs., Lavender oil france (KIMEX co. Ltd)의 네 가지이고 자율신경계의 반응은 심전도, 피부저항의 생리신호로 측정하였다. 스트레스의 유발은 단계적으로 난이도를 증가시키면서 덧셈의 연산 결과가 옳은지 틀린지를 검증하게 하였다. 실험과정은 처음의 안정 상태를 3분간 측정하였고, 2분의 계산 부하가 주어졌고 다시 3분간의 회복 상태를 측정하였다. 3분간의 회복 과정 측정 시 향을 제시하지 않은 상태를 통제 집단으로 하여 각각의 향을 제시했을 때의 상태와 비교하였다. 주관적 평가에서 상대적으로 레몬과 라벤더 향은 긍정과 이완 감성을, 자스민과 장미는 부정과 긴장 감성을 유발하는 향이라고 피험자들은 대답하였고 이것은 생리신호의 분석결과 스트레스 자극 유발 후 안정상태로의 회복이 향을 제시하지 않은 상태와 비교해서 레몬과 라벤더 향을 제시했을 때 빨라지고, 장미향을 제시했을 때 느려진다는 사실과 어느 정도 일치한다. 그러므로 비록 예비 실험이기는 하지만 본 연구에서는 스트레스에 의해 유발된 교감신경계 활성화의 회복을 촉진시키거나 또는 더디게 하는 향의 심리적 효과를 자율신경계의 반응으로서 검증할 수 있었다.

With increasing interest in health promotion and quality of life, growing attention has been focused on the beneficial effects of urban green area. However, very few evidence-based approaches have been conducted on the health-related benefits of urban greenery. Therefore, this study examined the health-related benefits of green areas using physiological and psychological indices to obtain evidence-based data on these benefits. Twenty male university students were selected as subjects. Data were collected when participants viewed landscapes in a green area or an urban area for fifteen minutes. This research was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of School of Medicine, Chungnam National University. Physiological data in the green area revealed significantly decreased heart rates, significantly increased high-frequency value of heart rate variability, an index of parasympathetic activity, and reduced salivary cortisol concentration, a stress hormone, compared to the urban area. Psychological tests showed the green area significantly reduced the negative mood state and psychological symptoms, and significantly increased the positive mood state. Our data provided evidence for the health-related benefits of green areas, and the findings of this study support that green areas can play a critical role in health promotion for urban residents, by positively affecting autonomic nervous and endocrinal activities.

Certain complex forces are existing at the other side of a canvas. These are visual arrangements and within the arrangement, even the simple combination of dots and lines create more than visual patterns. No matter what form that visual art has taken, it is performed in a certain space and it is constucted with various visual elements. For effective communication, visual elements must form a stable sturcture by extablishing organic relationship among each other. These requires an understanding of the human visual characteristics and psychonology, because human sight senses the same biological and psychological visual elements differently in its force and weight, according to the position within a given space. Although the structure which controls such force and weight exists within a peice of work, it is a internal plan of the work that actually controls the communication through a man\ulcorner psychological reactions towards the horizontal and virtical structures within it. Moreover it is a visual statement that effectively expresses a theme or a message. This thesis has studied visual structures through the analysis of art pieces regarding of these kind of a visual picture plane, characteristics of a picture plane formed by a structure of force existing on the other side of the picture and the theory of visual balance. In addition, the aim of this study is to help designers who deals with visual image works to understand the visual structures and psychological recognitions and to apply these picture plane compositions at their real work by recognizing the psychological power within the construction elements.

The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning and essence of the life of elderly men living alone in public rental housing. Among the phenomenological study methods, the present study used the analysis method proposed by Giorgi(2009). The study participants included 10 elderly men living alone in public rental housing who were recruited through network sampling. The research data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted twice for each person. The results showed that living alone as an elderly man is likened to standing against cold wind out in the wilderness of the world, with living alone deemed a power game between life and death. For the participants, public rental housing is a fence that separates them from the world-the final station of a wandering life. For common people, public rental housing is a stable fence, but for the participants, it is the location of a double-edged solitary life out in the wilderness where the instincts for survival and death play a tug of war. Based on the study findings, the researcher discussed and provided suggestions for psychological housing stability, the disparagement of the elderly in mass media, and countermeasures against psychological isolation.

This study aims at attempting to make a new interpretation of Mencius from the point of social welfare. The thoughts of social welfare, found from Mencius, are temporal and humanistic and near to those in nowadays. Social welfare began under the name of philanthropic work, relief work, charitable work or social work from the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century on. Welfare means the whole social activities such as satisfying the fundamental desires of the social members, ensuring the conditions of their lives, and ultimately achieving social integration and stability. It means the conditions of their lives and wellbeing. Wellbeing means the minimal physical desires and psychological stability. The realization of the economic system through concept of steady livelihood and steady mind, tax system and well-field system, proposed by Mencius, can be ensured by the whole social activities such as ensuring the stable lives of the social members, enriching and satisfying their happiness and ultimately achieving social integration and stability. The thoughts of Mencius include people-as-root idea, which regards people as most important and tries to solve the instability and inequality that are the structural vulnerabilities in modern capitalist society. His concept of Way of the king means promoting people's sense of happiness through education of morality, based upon the people-as-root idea and filial and fraternal responsibilities. The main ideas of social welfare include living like a human being, ensuring minimal physical and psychological stabilities through social welfare system and welfare policy, enriching human dignity and freedom and enhancing the quality of lives. The thoughts of Mencius include all the above ideas. In particular, he desired to establish ethically and morally stable society by economically implementing the well-field system in Zhou dynasty, based upon politically benevolent governance of the politicians. That society was the people-as-root society, the realization of which was the ideal society Mencius desired to establish, and the goal of his thoughts on social welfare. This study, among the thoughts of Mencius, investigated his ideas on social welfare and the practical ethics for applying them to real society. In addition, to understand his ideas on social welfare, not only the social and economic backgrounds and conditions but also the political ideas at that time were also investigated. This will provide the opportunity to make more in-depth research of the elements of social welfare intrinsically contained in his thoughts.
