In this paper we evaluate the performance of voluntary environmental agreements in South Korea, called as the 30/50 program. We constructed establishment- and chemical substance-level panel data from 2004 to 2010 by using the Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTR) Information System. Although firms voluntarily participate in the program and the agreement is not binding, we find that the chemical materials released by the participating firms is substantially reduced by 1.2 to 2.7 tons. Although the abatement effect is more salient for those listed chemical substances in the agreements, the reductions in other substances are also significant. This implies that participating firms adopted new technologies that could reduce environmental hazards.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of gardening programs using therapeutic gardens on the fall efficacy of the elderly. This study was applied to 31 elderly facility users from April to August 2019 at a nursing home P located in Gyeonggi-do. Among the 31 participants who participated in the program, 16 subjects in the experimental group and 15 subjects in the control group were randomly selected. As for the experimental group program, a fall program consisting of fall education and strength training four times a week and a horticultural occupational program were implemented once a week in a healing garden for a total of 15 weeks. The control group performed fall program for 30 minutes 5 times a week for a total of 15 weeks. The fall efficacy of the tested group increased by 5.50 points from 29points before the program to 34.50points after the program, and statistically significant results were obtained (p=0.000). The control group who only progressed the fall program increased 3.63 points from 28.87points before the trial to 32.50points after the trial, and statistically significant results were obtained (p=0.000). From this result, it can be confirmed that the horticultural program using the treatment garden has the potential as a program related to falls. In the future, various studies are needed so that gardening programs using gardens can be applied to prevent falls of the elderly.

The purpose of this study was to determine changes in their insluin and leptin in 30 obese girls' high school students, 26kg/$m^2$ or over in BMI after the aerobic exercise and obese education program over 8 weeks and then those changes 8 weeks after the program. Those 30 obese students were divided into four groups, aerobir exercise and obese education(8), aerobic exercise(8), obese education(8) and control group(6). Aerobic exercise was applied in the form of jogging for 8 weeks, 4 times a week and 50 minutes a time and with the exercise strength of 65 to 75% HRmax. Obese education was provided 60 minutes per week over the same weeks. The results of the study can be described as follows. 1) For the level of insulin, aerobic exercise and obese education, and aerobic exercise groups showed a more significant decrease after the programs were completed than either before they were applied or 8 weeks after they were halted(p＜.05). 2) In terms of the level of leptin, aerobic exercise and obese education, and aerobic groups accomplished a more significant lowering after the programs were completed than either before they were started or 8 weeks after they were stopped(p＜.05).

The purpose of the study was to provide basic data for planning and offering nursing intervention to prevent suicide attempts by identifying the factors influencing the suicidal thoughts of depressed adults. The subjects of this study were 1,202 individuals who answered clearly in 2013-2015 National Health and Nutrition Survey. A composite sample plan file was generated using the IBM SPSS 23.0 program, and then the data were weighted and analyzed. Suicidal ideation was influenced by income (50-60s), number of family members (50-60s), marital status (40-50s), subjective health (30-50s, over 70s), stress (30s, over 50s), economic activity status (50s), diabetes (60s or older), alcohol consumption (60s), and Body Mass Index (BMI) (40s). These results suggest that tailor-made interventions for the prevention of suicide need to take into account the general and health-related factors of the subjects.

This study examined the effects of a dual-task virtual reality program on the cognitive function and EEG for patients with mild cognitive impairment. A dual-task virtual reality program was performed in the experimental groups while conventional occupational therapy was carried out in the control group for 30 minutes per session, which was done five days per week for 6 weeks. The results were as follows. First, the memory of the cognitive function and balance was improved significantly in the experimental group with the dual-task virtual reality program compared to the control group with the traditional occupational therapy. Second, EEG was also increased significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results of this study suggest that the dual-task virtual reality program was an effective treatment method for the elderly with mild cognitive impairment and would be a cornerstone of basic data that will be helpful to those suffering from a range of diseases.

This study pointed on the dynamic impact of AGT (Automated Guide-way Transit) bridge, due to concrete rail prominence. An experiment was done with 30 m P.S.C. bridge in AGT test line in Kyungsan. An artificial prominence with 10 mm hight, was installed at the mid span of concrete rail. And computer simulation was executed for the artificial prominence. As an experiment result, in the case of with prominence, bridge acceleration responses are increased 50% at the speed range of 20 km/h-60 km/h, and bridge displacement responses increased slightly. With these results, the prominence of concrete rail can be induce excess impact and vibration. And the computer program simulated much the same as experiments. So this program can be used for AGT bridge design and formulate the standard of concrete rail management.

The purpose of this study was to identify an effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation(PNF) on articulator function of the stroke patients. This study evaluated pre- and post- articulator function, targeting the test group for whom an program by PNF was applied, the contrast group for which an articulator training program was applied, and the control group for which no intermediation was made. Each program were performed total 24 times based on 3 times per 30~50 minutes. In result, MPT, AMR ,SMR of the test group were enhanced. AMR of the contrast group did not show any significant difference in /tə/, /rə/, and /a/. Therefore, Program by PNF is informed to have a effect in advancing the articulator function of the stroke patients, especially it was effective of the tongue movement.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of watching TV on employees' stress and communication levels. We developed a 30 minutes-long TV watching program for this study. Participating employees were asked to watch the 30 minutes-long TV programs during their lunch hours for 20 weeks. The stress and communication levels were measured before and after the experiment. The results show that in general, both the average stress level and communication level were statically significantly improved for all the participated employees except those in the 20s. The biggest improvement in stress and communication levels was made in those in the 30s. In sum, the 'Watching TV programs' had a positive impact on the reduction of stress and the increase of communication abilities for the employees. This is believed to be the first employer initiated attempt in Korea to tackle employees' stress and communication problems with the implementation of the TV watching program concept.
