  • Focusing on the hermeneutic instability of a key word of Paradise Lost, "wander," this study attempts to situate John Milton's early modern epic in the longue $dur{\acute{e}}e$ historical transition from seignorial to capitalist mode of production, especially the displacement and reorganization of producer population, a corollary of early phase of modernization. The historic experience of vagrancy and its normalization, and the concomitant shift of the primary human sociability from given to voluntary bonds, I suggest, shape and inform Milton's early modern rewriting of the Biblical story of the fall and his revising of the heroic epic romance into a plebeian romance of a wandering, companionate couple. While building on the critical consensus on this poem's deliberate distancing from the tradition of classical epic and chivalric romance, this essay argues that Milton re-appropriates and re-channels the aspirational aspect of chivalric wandering, or mobility, for his plebeian heroes, a companionate conjugal couple. The hermeneutic instability of the word wander, this essay suggests, captures the duality of the historic experience of vagrancy, both the tragic experience of displacement and the liberational and uplifting dimension of that experience.

  • According to industrial accident analysis of the Ministry of Employment and Labor in 2013, 38 workers were injured by fall accidents on average per day, and one worker died on average per day among them. In various industries such as heavy and construction industry, the full body harness is commonly used to prevent the fall accident. In developing full body harness, the designer considered only the workers' safety, without taking into account comfort and workability. The survey was conducted so as to search the problems of full body harness currently used by workers in heavy and construction industry. The survey questionnaire was given to 565 workers wearing full body harness in heavy and construction industry. The results of study showed that the development of new full body harness considering body size of korean was needed. The impotent factors for developing of new full body harness were the size and the weight of the full body harness. The full body harness taking into account body size was judged to contribute to more comfortable work, work efficiency and safety. The result of this study can be utilized as useful data in the development of new full body harness considering the body size of korean workers.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine preventive effects of water drinking on postprandial fall of blood pressure in the elderly. Method: Participants were 25 elders who had experienced postprandial fall of systolic blood pressure of more than 15mmHg in a previous study. Within subject repeated measures design using random order allocation was used to control extraneous variables among participants. During the experiment, each participant had to drink 400mL water before lunch, whereas when in the control, they only had their lunch. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured for both times before lunch and at 15 minutes intervals up to 90 minutes after lunch. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, repeated measures of ANOVA, paired t-test and Bonferroni adjustment as Post-hoc analysis. Results: Water drinking before lunch elicited significant pressor effects by increasing systolic and diastolic pressure $13.9{\pm}4.7/5.2{\pm}2.2mmHg$ compared blood pressure during the control p<.005, p<.022. Heart rate, however, did not change significantly at either time. Conclusion: Drinking water before meal is recommended for elders who experience postprandial hypotension. However, the appropriate volume of water to prevent postprandial fall in blood pressure should be further studied.

  • 본 연구는 전국단위의 패널데이터를 사용하여 한국노인의 인구사회학적요인, 보조기구사용, 신체건강상태, 정신건강상태, 건강행태 중 낙상에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 고령화연구패널조사(KLoSA)의 제 1차와 제 2차 조사 자료를 분석에 활용하였다. 연구대상자는 2006년 제 1차 조사시점에서 만 65세 이상의 참여자를 기준으로 제 1차 조사와 제 2차 조사에 모두 참여한 응답자만(N=3,311)을 선택했으며 2008년 제 2차 조사 자료에서 낙상경험을 종속변수로 추출했다. 인구사회학적 요인들, 신체기능 및 질병유무, 건강행태 등에 대한 변수들은 시간의 선행 조건이 충족되어야 하므로 1차 조사로 부터 변수들을 추출했다. 분석방법으로는 변수에 따른 낙상경험 차이가 존재하는지 밝혀내기 위해 x2 혹은 t-test를 실시하였으며 독립변수들이 낙상경험에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지 고찰하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과로 성, 동거인여부, 거주지역, 보조기구사용, 질병의 수, 우울, 운동 및 흡연 여부에 따라 낙상경험에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 또한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 모든 변수를 통제하였을 때 여성, 청각보조기구사용자, 질병수가 2가지, 3가지 이상일 때, 우울이 있는 사람과 운동을 주 5회 이상 하는 응답자의 낙상경험 오즈가 그렇지 않은 사람에 비해 더 증가하였다. 반면 비만, 치매의심, 현재흡연자의 낙상경험 오즈는 준거카테고리에 비해 더 낮아졌다. 결론적으로 질병수 3가지 이상과 우울이 있는 사람의 낙상경험 오즈는 그렇지 않은 사람에 비해 2배 이상 높았기 때문에 낙상예방에 더욱 주의가 요구된다고 할 수 있다. 신체건강상태와 정신건강상태 모두 낙상과 관련이 있으므로 재가노인들의 낙상을 방지하기 위해서는 이러한 요인들을 갖고 있는 노인들을 위한 체계적인 지원이 이루어져야 하겠다.

  • 화산 분화 시 방출되는 물질은 화산가스, 용암, 화성쇄설물이 있다. 화성쇄설물 중 입자크기가 작은(직경 2 mm 이하) 화산재는 쉽게 이동하여 먼 거리까지 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 공기 중에 부유한 화산재 입자는 강하재가 되어 지표에 퇴적된다. 이러한 강하재가 미치는 영향은 퇴적되는 두께에 따라 달라진다. 퇴적되는 화산재의 두께가 증가할수록 피해의 규모는 커지고 그 영향 범위 또한 넓어지며, 보건 및 사회 기반 시설에 대한 영향도 심각해진다. 따라서 강하재의 영향에 따른 피해 저감을 위해 재해의 본질과 정도, 영향에 대한 지침을 마련하고 지역사회의 위험 관리 능력 향상을 위한 대비 조치를 마련해야 한다. 백두산을 비롯한 한반도 주변 지역에서 앞으로 일어날 수 있는 화산 분화로 인한 강하재의 영향에 대비할 필요가 있다.

  • Purpose : Few studies have examined the relationship between elderly falls and quality of life (QOL) in a large general population. Furthermore, although many studies have investigated the relationships between socio-demographic factors and falls, relatively few studies have evaluated the associations of places and environments with QOL of fall. The purpose of the scheme was to identify the relationship between falls and QOL in a large sample of the elderly. Methods : This study used raw data from the 2013 Korean community health survey. A total of 228,781 people participated in the 2013 study among them 61.552 people were aged 65 or older. Authors also excluded 40 people whose QOL confirmation was unclear. Therefore, final analysis was conducted 61,512 senior citizens. The survey contained questions about the occurrence of falls, number of falls occurring per year, location of occurrence, and cause of falls. QOL was measured using the EQ-5D, an evaluation tool developed by the EuroQol group. Results : The results showed a statistically significantly lower QOL to little fear and full of fear as compared with no fear of falls (p<.05). The number of falls was statistically significantly lower in one, two, and three or more times, than in zero (i.e. no falls)(p<.05). In the falling environments, fall experience, but not related to lighting (p>.05), had a significant lower in QOL compared without the experience (p<.05). Conclusion : This study concluded that there is a strong connection between fall and QOL to the elderly, particularly regarding the number of occurrences, place, and environment. However, we found that an environment (e.g. the lack of lighting) might not affect QOL. It means that when the experts who make an effective tool or intervention may not need to consider indoor and outdoor darkness.

  • Background: To investigate the association between regular physical exercise and falling experience for 2 years and fear of falling (FOF) in Korean middle-aged and elderly population. Methods: Data from the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging was used and 3,871 participants who exercised regularly were included at 2006 and follow-up until 2018. An analysis was performed to investigate the association between exercise (exercise time per week and duration) and falls (experience over past 2 years and FOF) using the generalized estimating equation model. Results: Compared to those who exercised more than 5 hours a week (reference group), those who exercised less than 3 hours were more likely to experience falls and FOF (odds ratio [OR], 1.334; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.059-1.682; OR, 1.218; 95% CI, 1.119-1.326, respectively). Compared to the group who exercised for more than 5 years, those who exercised for less than 1 year were more likely to experience FOF (OR, 1.310; 95% CI, 1.162-1.478). Conclusion: This study showed that there was a negative relationship between physical exercise time and falling experience and FOF in Korean 45 years or more community-dwelling adults. Based on these results, physical activity can be expected to have a positive effect on fall prevention, which implies the need for policy and research on long-term physical activity programs.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and influencing factors of falls in the institutionalized elderly. Method: A descriptive survey design was used with a convenience sampling of 430 institutionalized elderly. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Results: The falls rate after admission in institution was 8.4%. Types of injury after falls were mostly contusion and fracture. Interventions for fall prevention were environmental management and regular evaluation of risk factors for falls. Fall experience was significantly different according to admission periods. Type of falls was significantly different according to state of ADL. Predictors for falls were longer admission periods and dependent state in ADL. Conclusion: Falls is important health related problem in the institutionalized elderly, so effective fall prevention program is needed for their health promotion.

  • This study analyzes the effect of demographic changes on economic growth. We use the supply-side output identity to forecast the growth potential of the Korean economy. According to the results, even based on optimistic assumptions and prospects, the economic growth rate is likely to fall drastically starting in 2020. Of course, to maintain growth potential, efforts to increase productivity are necessary. However, given the historical experience of developed countries, it is not clear whether the huge trend of demographic change can be offset by efforts to increase productivity. In the so-called '30-50 club' countries, both labor productivity and growth rate tend to fall after reaching the per capita income of $30,000. The degree of decline in the growth rate is closely related to changes in the working age population and the prime-age workforce. The results are similar when tracking the path of changes in total factor productivities of the economy. When a certain level of income is reached, the increase in total factor productivity also tends to slow down. The ripple effects of rapid changes in demographics will indeed be extensive. The negative impact is likely to be concentrated at a time when the working age population, the prime-age workforce, and the total population shrink simultaneously. Above all, it is necessary to use the government's fiscal space to block the possibility of a rapid fall in the growth rate. In addition, it is important to continuously implement various reform tasks that should be promoted, such as improving the education system and strengthening the social safety net.
