The purpose of this study is to provide useful insights into community-level support services for family caregivers in Korea by comparing them with the services in the United States. Similar to most developed countries, life expectancy has led to rapid population aging in Korea over the last several decades. However, despite increased social needs of long-term care for the elderly, many elderly Koreans are still dependent on their family for the long-term care. Yet, existing support programs for family caregivers are very limited. As a result, family caregivers often suffer from a lack of financial resources and emotional support. In this study, we comprehensively review the extensive literature, including relevant studies and documents of community-level support services for family caregivers of the elderly at home in Korea and the United States. One of the most important differences is that compared to Korea, diverse services based on the law of NFCSP to support the family caregivers, such as counseling, organization of support group, and educating have been available in the United States since 2000. Additionally, the legal definition of family caregivers in the United State is broader than that in Korea, where family caregivers are limited to those who are related by blood or marriage. Therefore, more caregivers are eligible for support programs and benefit from the programs in the United States. The findings of the study suggest that policy makers in Korea should legislate for diverse and comprehensive services for family caregivers. Further, it is necessary to define legal terms for family caregivers more broadly to extend beneficiaries of the programs.

Viability plays an important role in the beneficial microbes (probiotics) to produce health benefits. However, this idea has been changed after the invention of the term "paraprobiotics," indicating that non-viable microbes could produce health benefits similar to those produced by live probiotics. Occasionally, it might be dangerous to administer live probiotics to people with weak immunity. In such cases, ingestion of paraprobiotics could be a potential alternative. The definition of paraprobiotics refers to the use of inactivated (non-viable) microbial cells or cell fractions to provide health benefits to the consumer. Paraprobiotics have attracted much attention because of their long shelf life, safety, and beneficial effects, such as modulation of immunity, modification of biological responses, reduction of cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative properties. These features indicate that paraprobiotics may play a vital role in improving the health of the consumer by enhancing particular physiological functions, even though the exact underlying mechanisms have not yet been completely elucidated. In this mini-review, we briefly discuss the historical backgrounds of paraprobiotics and evidence of their health-promoting effects, prophylactic, and therapeutic properties.

우리나라는 2000년대부터 과학기술인력을 육성하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울여왔다. 과학기술인력을 확보하고, 역량 강화를 위해 2004년 「국가과학기술 경쟁력강화를 위한 이공계 지원특별법」이 제정되어 운영되고 있다. 이를 근거로 인력 육성 및 지원기본계획이 수립되어 집행되고 있으며, 여러 관련 법들이 본 법을 타법 준용하고 있다. 그런데 이 법령에서 사용하고 있는 '이공계 인력'이라는 용어가 적절한가에 대한 논란이 발생하고 있다. 이에 '이공계 인력'개념을 포괄성, 일관성, 상호연관성의 관점에서 비판적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 타법에 연계된 근거로서 많이 활용되고 있기 때문에 상호연관성은 높은 편이라고 할 수 있으나, 포괄성, 일관성은 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 최근에는 이공계 인력뿐만아니라, 이공계 학문을 전공하지 않았더라도 과학기술분야와 관계된 직종에 종사하는 경우가 많으며, 앞으로 이러한 경향은 더 커질 것이다. 앞으로 사회적 변화와 현실을 고려하여 '이공계 인력'에 대한 법적 용어를 '과학기술인'으로의 포괄적인 범위로 확대하는 등의 정책적 변화가 필요하다.

Tailored nutritional education is generally found to be more effective in changing behaviors and to be more fully implemented than a non-tailored equivalent. This study was conducted in order to develop tailored nutritional education materials on food additives in processed foods based on need and levels of knowledge of educational targets of elementary-school students in Seoul Metropolitan City. The focus group interview was conducted with six elementary-school nutrition teachers in order to gather information and to develop a tailored quantitative questionnaire for the survey. Based on the results from 138 nutrition teachers, all answered that education on food additives in processed foods for students is necessary and both teachers and students need to receive education regarding definition, safety, and use of food additives for each processed food, in the form of video, PPT, and teaching-learning plan. Nutritional education materials for two classes were developed using video clips (grocery shopping and cooking class) about food additives in processed foods, PPTs with activity papers, two teaching-learning plans, and school newsletters to parents. In conclusion, the current study warrants conduct of further studies short-term and long-term impacts and efficacy of tailored need-based nutrition education in promotion of healthy nutrition by conveying proper scientific knowledge regarding food additives in processed foods for elementary-school students.

본 연구의 목적은 임상병리사의 전공과 직업에 정체성을 부여할 수 있는 용어를 찾는 것이다. 임상병리학이라는 용어는 병리학의 모든 분야, 즉 해부병리학, 화학병리학, 혈액학, 미생물학 및 이들의 모든 하위 전문 분야를 포함하도록 의도되었다. 불행히도, 많은 나라에서 임상병리학이라는 용어는 해부병리학을 배제하는 것으로 생각되었는데, 이는 이름이 영어 이외의 언어로 번역되었을 때 문제가 복잡해졌다. 임상병리학(미국, 영국)은 의학의 한 전문 분야이다. 유사한 용어로는 검사의학(독일, 폴란드), 의료/임상생물학(프랑스, 네덜란드) 또는 임상분석학(스페인)이 있다. 의료기술은 개인, 회사 및 기관과 같이 질문하는 사람에 따라 약간 다르게 정의된다. 물론, 질문하는 언어에 따라 다르다. 의료기술은 임상검사기술학, 지원보건과학, 의료기기, 의생명공학, 보건기술로도 번역될 수 있다. 지원보건과학에서는 '임상병리기술학·병리기술학'이라는 용어를 사용하지 않는다. '보건계열 임상병리학 및 임상병리사'의 명칭은 '의생명검험과학·의생명검험사' 또는 '임상검사분석학·임상검사분석사'로 대체할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 학문과 자격의 명칭을 '의생명'이 결합된 용어로 '의료생물학·의료생물사'로 변경할 것을 제안해 본다.
