  • 본 연구는 정치 경제 요인이 재생에너지 기술의 수출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실증분석은 1992년부터 2012년까지의 OECD 19개 회원국의 패널 자료를 이용하였다. 실증모델을 설정하기 전 데이터의 특성 파악을 위한 다양한 패널 프레임워크 분석(정규성, 구조변화, 1차 자기상관, 패널 이분산성, 패널 개체 간 상호의존성, 패널 단위근 검정)을 수행하였다. 패널 프레임워크 분석결과를 고려하여 데이터 특성에 부합하는 실증모형을 설정하고, 동태 패널 모델의 편의를 최소화하기 위해 Bias-corrected Least Square Dummy Variable Estimator(LSDVC)를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 공식적인 강제압력으로 표출되는 정부의 수요견인정책과 경쟁압력을 표출되는 시장매력도는 재생에너지 기술의 수출신장에 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 그렇지만, 정치요인 중 규범적 압력으로 표출되는 전통에너지산업의 주도와 비공식적인 강제압력으로 표출되는 공공압력은 재생에너지 기술의 수출에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과에 기초하여 재생에너지 산업의 성장과 수출 촉진과 관련된 시사점을 제공하였다.

  • 본 연구는 K대학교에서 비만 또는 과체중 학생을 대상으로 4주간 운영하는 체중조절 프로그램에 개입하여 프로그램 전후의 비만지표 변화와 치주지표 변화를 조사하고 분석하였다. 그 결과, 체중, 허리둘레, 체질량지수, 체지방률, 복부지방률은 모두 유의하게 감소하였고 치면세균막지수는 유의하게 증가하였으며 치은지수, 탐침시 출혈부위수, 천치주낭부위수는 유의한 변화가 없었다. 성별, 흡연, 음주의 특성이 비만지표 변화와 치주지표 변화에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 프로그램 전후 차이 지표 변화의 상관분석에 체지방율 변화와 탐침시 출혈부위수 변화가 강한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었고 복부지방률 변화와 천치주낭 부위수 변화가 중정도의 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 탐침시 출혈 부위수 변화에 대한 체지방률의 설명력은 58.9%로 나타났다. 따라서 체지방률과 복부지방률이 치주 임상지표와 연관성이 있으며, 비만 감소는 치주 건강에 영향을 끼칠 수 있다고 제안한다.

  • Parental smoking status and smoking environment do not only affect children's health through exposure to nicotine, but are also related to children's smoking attitude, intention and knowledge of smoking. Since this study was conducted to examine a relationship between family members smoking and smoking attitude, intention and knowledge of their children, little is known about psychosocial factors influencing smoking among Korean preschool children. This study aimed to determine the psychosocial factors (sociodemographic factors, education for smoking cigarette, knowledge about smoke cigarette) influencing smoking attitude and smoking intention, with a purpose of providing directions for future education programs for Korean preschool children. A cross sectional sample of 840 children, ages 4-7 years, living in a rural district were interviewed during August 6 - November 14, 2003. Among them, 834 children whose missing data were less than $10\%$ were included the analysis. The independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics and education for smoking cigarette, while the dependent variables were knowledge about smoking, the children's smoking attitude and their intention of smoking. The data on sociodemographic characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The correlations between the independent variables and attitude and intention of smoking were analyzed using chi-square test, t-test, and logistic regression. The results of this study were s follows. The factors that were found to be significantly correlated to smoking attitude include mother's smoking $(x^2=4.86,\;p=.03)$, grandmother's smoking $(x^2=5.56,\;p=.02)$, and knowledge of smoking cigarette $(x^2=-5.13 p<.01)$. The factors that were significantly correlated to the intention of smoking include gender $(x^2=.08,\; p=.02)$, education for smoking$(x^2=17.65,\;p<.01)$, mother's smoking $(x^2=19.05,\; p<.01)$, grandmother's smoking $(x^2=17.67,\; p<.01)$, and knowledge$(x^2=-2.17,\;p=.03)$. The children who had non smoking mother were more likely to have negative attitude (OR=2.29). The children who had a higher knowledge about smoking were more likely to have negative attitude (OR=1.58). The findings suggest that a smoking prevention program specific for preschool children is necessary to prevent early onset of smoking. The findings also suggest that the program should involve children's family members who influence their smoking attitude and intention.

  • Background: Public awareness/knowledge on oral and pharyngeal cancer (OPC), potentially malignant disorders (PMODs) and their risk factors is crucial for prevention and early detection of OPC and PMODs. Yet, there are no published data available on the awareness and knowledge of OPC and PMODs among people living in Far North Queensland, Australia. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a cross sectional survey. A self-administered questionnaire was designed and consisted of relevant questions to ascertain socio-demographic information, awareness and knowledge of OPC, PMODs and risk factors and questions on participant's exposure to risk factors and dietary history were also included. Survey was carried out at the Dental Clinic of the James Cook University School of Dentistry (JCU Dental), Cairns, Australia. Subjects above the age of 20 years (n=366) were randomly selected during the period from 31st July to 6th September 2013 and questionnaire was distributed to complete while they are waiting for treatment. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 21 and the chi -squared test was employed to compare groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study revealed that 52.3% of the respondents were aware of the existence of OPC but only 19.0% were aware of PMODs. Of those who were aware of oral cancer, 92% agreed or strongly agreed that smoking is a strong risk factor for OPC. Similarly a relatively high proportion of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that tobacco chewing (84%), tobacco chewing with areca nut (68%), chewing areca nut alone (51%) and exposure to actinic radiation (71%) as risk factors. However, the results for alcohol intake, age, and HPV infection were found to be relatively poor with proportions 33%, 34%, and 23% respectively. Conclusions: This study revealed an alarming lack of awareness and knowledge of OPC and PMODs.

  • This study was designed to examined psychosocial status and nutritional factors(nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes, eating behavior, dietary intakes) among female university students and to investigate if there were differences in these variables by weight loss attempt. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to 225 female university students in Seoul. Survey instrument was adapted or modified based on literature review, and dietary intakes were assessed using 24-hour recall and CAN-pro. Descriptive statistics, t-test x$^2$-test were used in data analysis. Mean height, weight of subjects were 162.7cm, 51.3kg, and mean BMI was 19.4. One hundred-nine students(48.4%) were grouped into weight loss attempt roup and 116 students were grouped int non-attempt group. According to BMI, 58.7% of weight loss attempt group were underweight, suggesting that unnecessary weight control is common in college women. With respect to psychosocial status, subjects received moderate degree of stress and were slightly satisfied with life. There was no significant difference in stress, social support or self-esteem between the two groups, however, students in non-attempt group were more satisfied with their life(p<0.01) and adapted better in school that students in weight loss attempt group. Subjects scored 14.9${\pm}$2.1 (highest score : 20) on nutritional knowledge, and showed favorable dietary attitudes. Overall, nutritional knowledge and dietary attitudes were not significantly different between the two groups. Common eating problems were irregular meals(71.6%), followed by unbalanced meals and eating-out. Subjects in weight loss attempt group were more likely to change eating habit after entering the university and showed more undesirable eating habit. Dietary intake data indicated hat the energy derived from fat was slightly higher than the recommended level. Most of the nutrient intake was lower than the RDA, particularly, iron and calcium intake was below the 50% of the RDA. Although this study did not reveal significant difference in nutritional knowledge or dietary intake by weight loss attempt, this study showed status of weight control, eating habit and dietary intake in female university students, and provide some information for nutrition education of college women.

  • 본 연구는 경북 북부지역 거주 직장인 332명을 대상으로 직무 의미감, Big 5 성격유형, 직무스트레스 간의 구조적 관계를 실증적으로 탐색한 것이다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 주요한 사실은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직무 의미감은 Big 5 성격유형의 친화성, 성실성, 외향성 요인에는 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 개인이 수행하는 직무가 의미감이 커질수록 개인이 지닌 성격특성 중 친화성, 성실성, 외향성 등이 강화된다고 풀이할 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 직무 의미감은 신경증 요인에는 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 이는 직무 의미감이 커지면 직무수행으로 인한 긴장, 화냄, 낙담 등이 줄어들 수 있다고 해석할 수 있다. 셋째, 직무 의미감은 성격특성 중 개방성 요인에는 통계적으로 의미 있는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 넷째, Big 5 성격유형 중 신경증 요인은 심리적 스트레스와 신체적 스트레스에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 이는 신경증 성향이 강한 사람일수록 스트레스에 취약하다고 풀이할 수 있다. 다섯째, Big 5 성격유형 중 개방성 요인은 심리적 스트레스와 신체적 스트레스에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 이는 개방성향이 높은 사람들은 동일한 자극에도 개방성향이 낮은 사람에 비해 스트레스를 적게 경험할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

  • Opisthorchiasis is a health problem in rural communities of Thailand, particularly in the northeast and north regions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate raw fish consuming behavior related to liver fluke infection among the population at risk for opisthorchiasis and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Meuang Yang district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeast Thailand, between June and October 2015. Participants were screened for CCA, and samples who had a high score of CCA risk were purposively selected. A predesigned questionnaire was utilized to collect the data from all participants. $X^2-test$ was used for analysis of associations between demographic data and raw fish consumption. The results revealed that participants had past histories of stool examination (33.0%), liver fluke infection (21.0%), praziquantel use (24.0%), raw fish consumption (78.0%), relatives family consuming raw fish (73.0%), and relatives family with CCA (3.0%). Participants consumed several dished related to liver fluke infection, mainly raw fermented fish (13.0%), under smoked catfish (5.00%), raw pickled fish (4.00%), and raw spicy minced fish salad (3.00%). The most common types of cyprinoid fish were Barbodes gonionotus (39%), Hampala dispar (38%), Puntius brevis (37%), Cyclocheilichthys armatus (33%), Puntioplites proctozysron (32%), and Luciosoma bleekeri (30%), respectively. Participants had a low level of knowledge (mean=3.79, SD=0.74), moderate attitude (mean=7.31, SD=7.31) and practice (mean=38.64, SD=6.95) regarding liver fluke prevention and control. Demographic variables like age (>36 years old; $X^2-test=17.794$, p-value=0.001), education (primary school; $X^2-test=18.952$, p-value=0.001), marital status (married; $X^2-test=12.399$, p-value=0.002), and income (<5,000 baht; $X^2-test=27.757$, p-value=0.015) were significantly associated with raw fish consumption. This result indicates that the population had risk consumption for liver fluke infection particularly of various cyprinoid fishes that are $2^{nd}$ intermediate hosts. Therefore, health education is required to improve their behavior.

  • Objectives: Stress is a psychological reaction to stimuli such as anxiety or threat felt by a person either physically or mentally when placed in a difficult situation. Although a relationship between stress and dry mouth has been reported, it remains understudied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between stress and subjective dry mouth among the elderly living in a rural region. Methods: A total of 214 people aged ${\geq}60years$ living in a rural area were recruited with an informed consent for a cross-sectional analysis. Information about stress and subjective dry mouth was obtained by an interview survey with a constructed questionnaire. Data on other potential confounding factors (including oral factors) such as socio-demographic data, health-related behaviors, the number of remaining teeth, and subjective chewing ability were also gathered at the same time. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship of stress and dry mouth using SPSS. Results: The Crude odds ratio (OR) of stress awareness affecting subjective dry mouth was 2.59 (95% confidence interval: 1.43-4.68). After adjusting for sex, education, income, smoking, and alcohol intake, the adjusted OR was 2.52 (95% confidence interval: 1.30-4.87) which was statistically significant. Conclusions: Elderly people who were stressed had an approximately 2-fold increase in experiencing subjective dry mouth when compared to their stress-free counterparts.
