Purpose: This study aimed to explore the environmental factors affecting childhood obesity using photovoice from the perspectives of students, parents, and teachers in the community. Methods: Six school students, seven parents, and seven school teachers completed an assignment requiring them to take 24 pictures and participate in group discussions. After training session, the participants were asked to take pictures associated with food and physical activity environments related to childhood obesity at home, school, and within their communities for two weeks and to submit the pictures with records. Each group had four sessions for discussion. Results: School cafeteria, convenience stores near schools, instant food and fast food joints, food delivery, and high-calorie snacks comprised the food environmental factors. Lack of physical activity classes at school, commuting by car, barriers to physical activity, and use of smart-phone were environmental factors that inhibited physical activity. Conclusion: To reduce childhood obesity, the creation of a supportive environment for encouraging the consumption of healthy foods and enhancing physical activity should be considered. Modifications of and improvement to the obesogenic environment might be a good strategy to prevent and reduce childhood obesity.

The purpose of this study is to understand the daily lives of adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide educational implications for enhancing the competencies of adolescents living in rapidly-changing environments. To this end, the photovoice method, consisting of orientation, documentation, discussion, and analysis, was employed to study nine adolescent participants, who were interested in sharing aspects of their daily lives. The results yielded four themes and nine sub-themes. The first theme is "home life", which is composed of two sub-themes: most comfortable to be alone and EA (eating alone) for lunch. The second theme is "leisure life", which consists of two sub-themes: the virtual world of playing with friends and exercise is the only way out to breathe. The third theme is "school life", which consists of three sub-themes: time for inner exploration and reflection, cracks in daily life due to excessive autonomy, and pros and cons of virtual classes. The fourth theme is "the voice of adolescents", which consists of two sub-themes: requiring adults to set a golden example and anxious voices due to an uncertain future. This photovoice method of study is meaningful in that it explores the daily lives of adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic and provides valuable educational implications.

Development of sorting machine for photo diode and its control system is addressed. The sorting machine for optical communication device requires high positional precision because the alignment is one of the most important point in the sorting process. This sorting method describes how to detect the target chip's angle and position from the wafer. The machine vision system is used for the feedback control. This sorting machine is implemented by motion controller, machine vision and various solenoid valve and is interfaced with RS-232c, GPIB and PCI communication. This system gets the position accuracy within $1{\mu}m$ with our experiments.

Purpose: The study aimed to identify the stress levels and their solutions in MZ(Millennials + generation Z) nursing students by using photovoice through the medium of photography. Methods: The study was conducted from November to December 2022 among freshmen to senior nursing students at a major university. Participants were recruited by telephone, email, and social media. Originally, four participants were recruited for each year of nursing school, but it resulted in a total of 19 participants: three freshmen students, nine sophomore students, four junior students, and three senior students. The participants were asked to take pictures of things in their surroundings that bothered them and things that helped them overcome the bothering things and to have group discussions in groups of 4-5 to analyze the results. Results: The results of the study revealed the following themes: 'Difficulties and worries as a nursing student', 'Striving to go beyond yourself', 'Unhealthy factors', 'Ways to relieve stress', and 'Meaning of stress'. For each of the themes, there were five subcategories under 'difficulties and worries as a nursing student', four under 'fighting with oneself', seven under 'ways to relieve stress', five under 'unhealthy factors', and two under 'meaning of stress', resulting in 21 subcategories. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, firstly, there is a need to educate university students about the factors that contribute to unhealthy behaviors and how to deal with stress in a healthy way. Secondly, it is necessary to provide programs that allow students to have various experiences.

본 연구는 정신재활시설을 이용하고 있는 정신장애인 가족의 돌봄 경험은 어떠한지 탐색하기 위한 질적 연구이다. 분석결과, 정신장애인 가족의 삶은 6개의 주제에서 12개의 하위주제로 나타났다. 발병하기 이전의 삶의 모습은 전기난로처럼 따뜻하고 편안한 일상생활, 가족간 갈등으로 새장의 앵무새처럼 답답하고 힘든생활로 나타났다. 증상이 나타나기 시작한 당사자를 바라보는 느낌은 앞이 잘 보이지 않는 두려움과 막막함, 삶을 꽃 피우기 전 질병에 갇힌 자녀에 대한 죄책감이었고, 강제 입원, 그리고 나의 느낌은 찢어지는 마음에 어찌할 바를 모름, 불투명한 회복과 미래의 삶에 대한 걱정으로 생각이 혼란해짐으로 나타났다. 질병이 장기간 지속되고 입·퇴원이 반복되면서 느낀 경험은 주변에 가족의 정신병이 알려질까 두려움, 반복되는 재발과 증상 악화에 대처하기 위해 안간힘을 씀으로 도출되었다. 정신재활시설을 이용하면서 변화된 삶은 편안한 쉼터에서 마음의 위로를 받음, 미래에 대한 희망이 보이고 웃을 수 있는 여유가 생김으로 나타났고, 앞으로 기대하는 삶, 그리고 희망은 작은 변화를 보며 감사함을 느낌, 회복을 위한 따뜻한 울타리가 되길 다짐함으로 도출되었다.
