The purpose of this study was to investigate the binge eating of university women and to discuss whether there was a mediating effect of job-stress. This study conducted a survey of 325 university women using the self-oriented perfectionism, job-stress and binge eating. Descriptive, correlation statistics with SPSS 18.0 and structural equation analysis with AMOS 20.0 was performed. The results of this study were as follows. First, the binge eating of female university students was lower than intermediate level. Second, the self-oriented perfectionism of female university students had a meaningful positive influence on the binge eating. Third, the job-stress had a partial mediating effect between the self-oriented perfectionism and the binge eating. As a result of this research, comprehensive implications were suggested for interventions.

The objectives of this study are to deduce a problem of existing subcatchment width equation in Storm Water Management Model(SWMM) and to analyze the suitability of a new adjusted subcatchment width equation on both ideally assumed watersheds and an actual urban watershed area. The problems of existing subcatchment equation are issued on the theoretical review of the equation and from the model application on different types of simplified assumed watershed. The adjusted equation, proposed in this study, that considers the pipe flows in addition to the surface flows on small subcatchment can improve the limitation of existing equation when applied on the assumed watersheds. Also, Gunja watershed with 96.3 ha is selected and collected rainfall-runoff events for the feasibility study of the proposed equation on actual urban watershed area. The results represent that the simulated flows from adjusted equation rather than the simulated flows from existing equation are well agreed with observed ones.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-compassion and binge eating and to examine the mediating effects of negative affect and negative urgency. To validify this hypothesis, 441 college and graduate students were measured self-compassion, negative affect, negative urgency, and binge eating. For the collected data, SPSS(23.0) and AMOS(23.0) were used for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and analyzing the structural equation model. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the correlation analysis showed significant correlations among self-compassion, negative affect, negative urgency, and binge eating. Second, in the relationship between self-compassion and binge eating, negative affect and negative urgency showed serial mediating effects. This means that for college and graduate students, the promotion of self-compassion can reduce binge eating behavior by sequentially reducing negative emotions and negative urgency. Finally based on these results, practical applications of self-compassion in the treatment of binge eating behavior were proposed.

This study aimed to identify binge-eating behavior and food addiction in Korean population and to determine their associations with obesity, eating behaviors, mental health and cognitive characteristics. We collected clinical questionnaire scores related to eating problems (e.g. binge eating, food addiction, food cravings), mental health (e.g. depression), and cognitive functions (e.g. impulsivity, emotion regulation) in 257 Korean adults in the normal and the obese weight ranges. Binge-eating and food addiction were most frequent in obese women (binge-eating: 46.6%, food addiction: 29.3%) when we divided the participants into 4 groups depending on gender and obesity status. The independence test using the data with propensity score matching confirmed that binge-eating and food addiction were more prevalent in obese individuals. Finally, we constructed the logistic regression models using forward selection method to evaluate the influence of various clinical questionnaire scores on binge-eating and food addiction respectively. Binge-eating was significantly associated with the clinical scales of eating disorders, food craving, state anxiety, and emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal) as well as food addiction. Food addiction demonstrated the significant effect of food craving, binge-eating, the interaction of obesity and age, and years of education. In conclusion, we found that binge-eating and food addiction are much more frequent in females and obese individuals. Both binge-eating and food addiction commonly involved eating problems (e.g. food craving), but there was difference in mental health and cognitive risk factors. Therefore, it is required to distinguish food addiction from binge-eating and investigate intrinsic and environmental risk factors for each pathology.

The clinical investigations above suggest that topiramate may be an effective agent in the treatment of BED or BN by reducing binging/purging episodes, improving the HRQOL, and decreasing weight. The case report and case series also support these findings. However, there are several limitations in the above studies and cases. All these had relatively small sample size, and two of them were only 10-week-period studies. Optimal duration of treatment with topiramate in patients with BED or BN is unknown. As most clinicians treat the patient with BED or BN for 6 to 12 months and then reassess, at least 6 months period is needed to show its efficacy. One of studies included only women in the patient group. In the case series, all patients had severe comorbid mood disorders such as major depression and bipolar disorder besides BN. Therefore, notwithstanding its clinical usefulness, additional researches are needed to define the role and the benefits of topiramate in the treatment of BED or BN more thoroughly.

Objectives : In this study I made investigations how 'strange hunger' and 'compulsive overeating' threatening the ego could be resolved and healed. And I aim to present a healing model of psychotherapy and analysis as one of methods of treatment for 'eating disorder'. Methods : The analysands of this study were outpatients who visited the department of psychiatry of Yong-In Mental Hospital from March 2008 to February 2017 with 'hunger' and 'compulsive overeating' as their chief complaints. This study is based on the detailed records of the process of analysis including dreams and visions. Results : 1) Throughout the process of analysis that explore both consciousness and unconsciousness(dream, vision), hunger and compulsive overeating is improved and healed in all analysands. 2) The Imago of 'Snake' appeared in dreams and visions of all analysands. 3) By suffering impulse rather than acting it out, impulse transformes itself into 'Imago'. As impulse transforms into 'Imago' and reveals the 'meaning' of it, ego-threatening power of impulse weakens and mood is calmed. And as a result, synthesis of consciousness and unconsciousness and creative transformation of personality can be possible. Conclusions : In some people, 'hunger' and 'compulsive overeating' are 'creative impulses' that aim 'Self-realization' which can be fruited as creative transformation of personality and as creative transformation in the relation with the world. 'Creative impulses', which often can be experienced as instinctive impulse or emotional suffering unless ego realizes the meaning, reveal the meaning in dreams or visions through 'Imago' and 'Symbol'.

The stream morphological characteristics of river basin has a close correlation with the hydrological and hydraulic characteristics of the basin. This study was conducted to suggest a river width formula for medium rivers of central area in Korea. As a result, The following conclusions are made: (1) The model for the stream-width to be applied to the medium rivers of central area in Korea is developed as suggestion model-a function of the design flood discharge-of which the formula is $B=1.532A^{0.644.}$; (2) The model for the stream-sidth to be applied to the medium rivers of central area in Korea is developed as suggestion model-a function of the watershed Area-of which the formula is $B=12.392A^{0.511}$; (3) The model for the stream-width to be applied to the medium rivers of central area in Korea is developed as suggestion model-a function of the stream length of which the formual is $B=10.509l^{0.852}$.

하루 중 가장 중요한 식사로 꼽히는 아침식사. 전문가들은 위장의 건강을 위해서는 아침식사를 꼭 하라고 권고하고 있다. 아침식사는 폭식을 막는 것은 물론 두뇌 활동을 높이고 혈당을 낮춰주는 효과까지 있다.
