Objectives The objective of this study is to investigate the application of Sifeng point (EX-UE 10) in children and to make suggestions for domestic research and clinical application by reviewing relevant randomized controlled trials. Methods Eight electronic databases including English, Chinese, Korean databases were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating the effects of Sifeng point in children up to May 2, 2018. We extracted the year of publication, country, target diseases or symptoms, location of Sifeng, acupuncture method; such as acupuncture tool and depth of insertion, and frequency, number, and duration of the treatment. Results Fifty studies were included for analysis. All the included studies were conducted in China, and studies were published from 1962 to 2017. The most frequent target symptom was anorexia (46%). In addition, Sifeng point was used for digestive diseases or symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, and mesenteric lymphadenitis, as well as respiratory diseases or symptoms such as cough, cold, acute bronchiolitis, recurrent respiratory tract infections, bronchopneumonia, and asthmatic bronchitis. Also, allergic diseases such as chronic urticaria, and other variety of symptoms such as malnutrition, fever, and iron-deficiency anemia were treated with the Sifeng point. The location of Sifeng points was inconsistent, and the most common location of the Sifeng point was the midpoint of transverse creases of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the index, middle, ring and little fingers (84.2%). The most commonly used acupuncture tool was three-edged needle (40.9%). All included studies have the method of squeezing out blood or mucus from the Sifeng points. The treatment was mostly conducted once per week (35.4%), mostly repeated for 4 times (32.6%). The most common treatment duration was 4 weeks (18.6%). Conclusions We could identify acupuncture method and various indications for the Sifeng points treatment. Based on this study, there is a need for the clinical application and related researches on the Sifeng points in children in Korea. In addition, the treatment location of Sifeng point should be standardized.

The purpose of this study was to propose effective marketing communication strategies for overseas Korean restaurants through a multilateral comparison analysis of American, Chinese, and Japanese consumers' attitudes towards communication media and Korean restaurants. The survey was written in English, Chinese, and Japanese, with guideline for surveyors, and conducted using both online and offline methods. Samples were collected from five major cities - Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai, which are the foothold for the globalization of Korean food. When it comes to attitudes towards communication media, word-of-mouth showed a high mean value, indicating it as the most useful and reliable media recognized by consumers who visited Korean restaurants. Furthermore, the necessity of recognizing the importance of visual communication in the physical environment of Korean restaurants and specialized websites, featuring restaurants and gourmet food, was observed. Consumers in all three nations chose word-of-mouth as the most useful and reliable media for learning about Korean restaurants. In addition, American consumers highly depended on signage and restaurant exteriors. Chinese consumers highly recognized the usefulness and reliability of offline media, such as newspapers, magazines, and events, while Japanese consumers considered online media, such as gourmet websites, blogs and social networks, as useful and reliable sources. A significantly positive attitude and high value was observed in all who had visited Korean restaurants. American and Japanese consumers had a significantly higher rate of intention to visit Korean restaurants in the future and to tell others about their satisfaction with Korean restaurants. Meanwhile, the average rate of prior preference for Korean restaurants (when choosing restaurants) was the lowest in all three countries. This study is useful for both the Korean government and food enterprises abroad to plan and develop marketing communication strategies properly for overseas Korean restaurants.

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish the developmental history of hospice palliative care (HPC) with Korean medicine (KM). Methods: We compared the developmental history of HPC in Korea with that of Britain, the United States, Taiwan, Japan, and China. The articles in English or Korean published until Feb. 2017 were searched using 'Hospice' or 'Palliative care' with the name of each nation in the PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) databases for foreign articles and OASIS (Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System) for domestic articles. Books and gray literature were searched on the same databases and websites of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and related organizations in each country. Results: Modern palliative care began with the hospice movement led by Dr. Cicely Saunders. HPC in Korea started earlier than in other countries but it took considerable time for social consensus, so Korean policies have only been published recently. In this process, KM was excluded from HPC. For this reason, western medicine in Korea does not fully accept the spirit of HPC, the government does not take an aggressive stance with KM, and the institutes of KM do not have any interest in HPC. The World Health Organization recommends the establishment of policies and programs connected with a country's own health care system. In 2015, the Korean government made the third comprehensive plan for the development of KM. It included critical pathway guidelines about cancer-related fatigue and anorexia. More effort is required to set up HPC than other care types because Korea has two medical systems. Conclusions: Each nation has been trying to improve systems of HPC. We need to overcome the problems and bring out the best by making our own model of HPC with KM.

Questionaires on symptoms of respiratory disease have been used in Korea to elicit the probable health effects of air pollution in epidemiologic studies: The objectives of such studies often include comparing prevalence of symptoms of respiratory system between different population groups or between the same population groups, at different times. Unfortunately, little attention has, been paid to standardization of those questionaires, whether those are Korean. versions or not. Furthermore, no attempt to develop Korean ,questionaire on respiratory symptoms and relevant information has been made. Followed by 'a comparative study on responses to Korean version questionaires(English origin) of CMI, MRC, and ATS-DLD-78' two types of questionaires on respiratory symptoms and relevant information for Korean adult, which are short form (SUN-81-AS) and long forms (optional questions are added to the short one, SUN-81-AL), have been designed suitable to Korean background by authors (see Annex). The self-administered and closed-question questionaire were tested their validity and reliability by administration to l80 normal adults (medical and nursing students) and 60 clinical patients of Seoul National University Hospital, with spirometric exam. The results obtained and conclusions drawn are as follow: 1. It took less than 10 minutes to complete the questionaire SNU-81-AS and SNU-81-AL. 2. The test-retest reliability of each questions in AS and AL ,were observed as 92.7% and 92.1%, respectively. And all of the level of agreement are statistically significant with kappa statistic. 3. In addition to higher prevalence rate of symptoms in patients group compared, with, normal. group, the correlations between FEV 1.0/FVC predictive value(%) and number of symptoms were statistically significant inpatients group (See Fig. 1 and, Table 7). 4. The answer rate to optional questions in AL form among those who are not to do was about 10%, while the no-answer rate among who are to do was about 15% in Normal (medical and nursing students) group. 5. From the viewpoints of validity and reliability, the new Korean questionaire (SNU-81-AS and AL) developed by authors are to be recommendable to use in epidemiologic studies on respiratory illness in Korea. The self-administration, however, of optional questions in AL form may not assure the quality of data gathered.

Nowadays, the World Wide Web (WWW) has become an important resource of timely information for the information-related people such as information scientists, librarians, and students in Library and Information Sciences area. They are information professionals who navigate the information on the internet. Also, they need to be information providers who build a WWW homepage. This paper is a study of the necessity, preparation, and building WWW Homepage files for school of Library and Information Sciences in the age of competition among disciplines. It is particularly focused on the colleges and universities in Republic of Korea (ROK) and North America area. The purpose of this study is to provide various kinds of reference information to prepare a homepage in the future as utilizing information on the internet effectively. Even though a Web page was necessary for a school of Library and Information Sciences to show news, and introduce the purpose of the disciplines and the curriculum of the school, and the professors of a class etc., it was not well-prepared yet in ROK. However, a web page was used well enough and prosperous in North America area (Canada, the United States, and Puerto Rico) comparatively. Those web pages were analyzed and studied to prepare for a good designing of homepages for school of Library and Information Sciences in Korea and for the age of competition among disciplines in this paper. Suggestions for designing a good homepage and guidelines for preparing a best one were studied after both reviewing literature and utilizing experiences by the author who currently serves in the School of Library and Information Sciences in Keimyung University and builds homepage for the school. As a result, the major suggestions are ; premiered, and they are as follows: (1) English version of a homepage is necessary, (2) Provide a multimedia presentation about the nature of a school (3) Incorporate a place to let people make suggestions on the contents (of a homepage), (4) Bear in mind that potential users must be familiar with abbreviations you used, (5) Absolutely do not use abbreviations that may make the content more difficult to understand, (6) Add a feature on the every single page that will take the user back to the main page, (7) Use clear, short and well-structured sentences and remember to divide text into paragraphs, (8) Date with a creation or modification date in the homepage to indicate the updated date, (9) Being a multimedia environment, use colors effectively (the guidelines were also suggested), and (10) Put colleges' name into the title of bookmarks to find out them easily.

The purpose of the study was to ascertain the trends of future circumstances in primary education along with population change. These trends, which are subject to change in population and structure, have a great impact on the size and characteristics of primary school-aged children. Accordingly, it is imperative for the government to plan for future conditions involving primary education. The major findings of the study were as follows: 1. In the long-term primary school children aged 6-11, which accounted for 17.7% of the total population in 1970, will decline to 8.6% by the year 2000, 6.9% in 2020 and 6.4% in 2030. This drastic reduction in fertility rate is a direct result of pressure by the government to control population. 2. In 1996, the total number of classes in primary schools rose to 106,594. In the future, these numbers will actually decline. By 2003 the total number of classes will peak at 142,605, but until then drop off to 112,288 by 2030-a decrease of over 6,000. 3. The actual number of primary schools in 1997 totaled 5,721. This figure will reach its highest peak, 5,942, in 2003, but it is expected decrease later after declining by 1,263, it will bottom out at 4,679 in 2003. 4. The number of teachers at primary schools increased from 101,095 in 1970, 119, 064 in 1980, 136,800 in 1990 to 138,369 in 1995. Accordingly this means that the ratio of students to teaching staff changed for the better. By the year 2005, if teachers of specialty subjects (music, art, English, physical education) are assigned to every primary school with over 18 classrooms and the number of students per class is 30, it should improve educational surroundings. This is because it is expected that the population of primary school children will continue to grow until 2003 and then decrease. Thus, there is a need to maintain the number of primary school teachers between the years 2003 and 2030 so that the ratio of students to teachers will be reduced to 1/20.25. In considering factors related to migration which influence conditions of education, it is evident that changes have already begun. In the suburbs of Seoul, population shifts are causing overcrowding in classrooms. The government believes it would be inefficient to invest in education because fluctuating migration figures make it impossible. Accordingly, we have to be concerned about stabilizing the population throughout the entire country.

연구목적 소위 '행동증상 아형 전두측두엽 치매 표현형모사 증후군(behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia phenocopy syndrome)' 환자들은 일차성 정신장애와 감별이 힘들고, 기존의 치료 약물에 대한 반응도 회의적이어서, 오진의 위험과 법적 문제의 유발 가능성이 높으므로, 이러한 양상을 보이는 환자군에 대한 지속적인 관심과 연구가 필요함을 환기 시키기 위해서 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 2000년 부터 2016년 까지 발행된 영문 학술지에 게재된 논문을 인터넷에서 'frontotemporal', 'phenocopy', 'behavioral'과 같은 단어의 조합으로 검색하여 찾은 참고문헌을 정리, 고찰하였다. 또한 저자가 직접 경험한 두 증례를 간략히 기술하였다. 결과 환자의 행동 증상은 가족과 지역사회에 큰 영향을 끼치므로 행동증상 아형 전두측두엽 치매에서 정확한 진단이 중요하다. 그러나, 행동증상 아형 전두측두엽 치매에서 현재까지 질병 수정 치료법은 개발되지 않았으며, 현재의 약물학적 치료는 특수한 증상에 도움이 될 뿐이고, 적절한 정신의학적 치료에도 불구하고 점진적인 퇴행이 진행된다. 상당수의 '행동증상 아형 전두측두엽 치매 의심(possible bvFTD)' 환자에서 임상적으로 '행동증상 아형 전두측두엽 치매 가능(probable bvFTD)'으로 진행되지 않으며, 인지기능이나 사회적 기능이 저하되지 않고, 활동 기능의 저하를 보이지 않으며, 생존기간이 조금 더 길고, 수년에 걸쳐서 정상적인 뇌영상화 검사 소견을 보인다. 결론 환전두측두엽 치매 및 일차성 정신장애 환자에서 보이는 전형적인 임상적 양상이나 경과, 뇌영상화 검사를 포함한 진단적 평가와는 다른 비전형적인 소견을 보이는 환자군들은 생각보다 많으며, 정신의학과 의사들이 이에 대한 의학적 지식과 판별 능력이 발전되면, 그 발견의 비율은 훨씬 더 높아질 것이다. 그러나, 현재로서는 이러한 비전형적인 환자군의 정체에 대해서는 이견이 많으며, 향후 적극적인 연구가 행해져야할 분야이다.

본 연구는 소아환자대상 최근의 음악치료 및 음악을 사용한 임상연구들에 대한 체계적인 문헌고찰(Systematic Review)을 위해 실시되었다. 이를 위해 13개 데이터베이스를 이용하여 2000년부터 2012년 사이에 영어로 발표 된 무작위 임상 및 교차설계 연구들을 자료로 수집하였고, 최초 검색 되었던 1023개의 논문 중 선정 및 제외기준에 따라 영어문헌 15건을 선별하였다. 선별 결과 연구 대상자는 1개월에서 만 18세까지의 아동 및 청소년으로 11명에서 150명 까지 표본크기가 다양했으며 전체 연구 참여자는 987명으로 집계되었다. 선별된 연구들은 음악요법 및 음악치료 연구로 분류되어 전반적인 유형, 연구절차와 방법론, 임상접근법, 측정도구 및 연구결과에 대해 체계적으로 분석되었다. 총 7건의 음악요법과 8건의 음악치료로 분류된 연구들은 7개영역의 종속변수를 36종류의 측정도구를 사용하여 측정하였는데 음악의 임상적 사용에 있어 음악의 선택, 종류 및 임상접근방법에 큰 차이가 있음이 나타났다. 연구절차와 방법론의 분석 결과 다수의 연구들이 주요 연구절차에 대한 기술이 충분치 않고 특히 무작위배정(Randomization), 배정순서 은폐(Allocation Concealment), 이중 또는 부분은폐(double or partial blinding) 및 참여자 감소율(Attrition Rate)과 같은 방법론적 표준에 미치지 못함이 도출되었다. 전반적인 연구결과가 통계적으로 유의하거나 긍정적 결과가 보고된 바 있으나, 연구 방법론적 문제들과 임상접근법들의 이질성으로 인해 그 결과가 편향에 의해 오염되거나 신뢰성에 문제가 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 그 결과 음악이 소아 환자들의 신체 및 사회 심리적 필요를 다루는 도구로 임상적 가치가 있음을 제안할 수는 있지만 이에 대한 과학적인 근거로서는 절차와 접근법이 보다 엄격하고 균일하여 추후 재현이 가능한 연구들이 다수 요구됨을 알 수 있다.

권기수는 한국의 가장 촉망되는 화가 중 한사람이다. 그의 작품에는 많은 동양예술의 비유들과 철학이 담겨져 있다. 화가로서, 권기수는 그의 그림에 동양적 사상과 현대적 사상을 모두 채택하였다. 그의 주요 주제들은 '매화꽃, 국화, 난초 그리고 대나무'이다. 이 식물들은 한국에서 '사군자'라고 알려졌으나, 영어로 '네 개의 품위 있는 식물' 또는 '네 개의 온화한 식물' 번역되기도 한다. 또한 이 식물들은 네 개의 계절을 나타낸다. 그들은 각기 다른 환경에서 자라나고, 동양 미술에서 이 식물들의 품격과 지성은 매우 중요하게 여겨진다. 권기수 역시 그의 작품 속에 사군자를 소재로 많이 사용하고 있다. 그의 모든 작품에는 '동구리'라는 캐릭터가 나온다. 2002년에 빠른 붓 스트로크에 의해 고안된 동구리는 권기수의 작품에서 주요한 캐릭터이다. 동글동글하고 귀여운 인상의 동구리는 많은 사람들에게 칭찬과 사랑을 받는다. 동구리는 보통 '사군자' 가운데 살고 있다. 바위와 산과 같이 특색 있는 지역에 있는'사군자'는 동구리가 살고 있는 곳이다. 동구리는 또한 등산, 달리기, 앉기 등과 같이 다양한 동작을 취하고 있다. 이 모든 동작들이 이번 과제에서 해석되어온 은유를 묘사한다.

이 연구의 목적은 안구운동 추적 기법을 통해 우리글을 읽을 때 중심와(fovea)의 주변에서 형태소 정보가 추출되는지를 알아보고자 한다. 다수 영어권 연구에서는 경계선 기법(Rayner, 1975)을 사용하여 중심와주변(parafovea)에서 형태소 정보가 추출되지 않는다고 보고하였다(Pollatsek, & Rayner, 2001; Rayner, Balota, & Pollatsek, 1986 등). 그러나 우리글인 한글은 영어와 같이 음소문자체계이면서 또한 모아쓰기를 하기를 때문에 한 자가 형태소가 될 수 있다. 또한 불규칙용언은 형태가 변하기 때문에 영어권의 결과와 다르게 글을 읽을 때 중심와주변에서 형태소 정보를 추출할 수도 있다. 실험은 경계선 기법으로 불규칙용언을 써서 미리 보기 네 조건-동일조건(예: 구워), 형태소 조건(예: 굽다), 시각유사조건(예: 굼다), 무관조건(예: 죨어)-으로 제시했다. 실험 결과는 단일고정시간에서 형태소조건은 동일조건보다는 반응시간이 길었지만 시각유사조건과 무관조건에서는 이득효과가 있었다. 첫고정시간과 주시시간에서 형태소조건이 시간유사조건과 무관조건과 차이가 없었지만 무관조건보다 더 이득효과가 있었다. 이는 우리글 읽기에서는 중심와주변에서 형태소 정보가 추출될 수 있음을 시사한다.
