Jeong Si-Han(1625-1707), one of the main representatives of Toegye School in The mid-Korea Dynasty, seeking to live in seclusion of his life engaged in research work, respected by scholars for generations. He, Together with Yi Hyeon Il(1627-1704), carried out a systematic study of Toekye's Interpretation of the "Four Buddings" and "Seven Feelings". In this paper, from a comparative point of view, The author studied Jung Sihan's Li-Qi Theory, Four-Seven Theory, Human Mind and Mind of the Dao. Although his theory of interpretation about Li-Qi Theory, Four-Seven Theory, is the tendency of compromise Toegye and Yulgok's thought, but from the master and servant and upper and lower relationship between Li-Qi and Four-Seven Theory, Jung Sihan preferred the thought of Toegye. The characteristics of Human Mind and Mind of the Dao is Emphasis on Zhu Xi's theory about human mind of "is-to-be"

According to Confucianism, the world before Confucius focused on respecting the heaven which meant that everything could be done by the heaven. After the period of Confucianism, Joo-Ja asserted that everything could be done by nature. During the Chosun Dynasty, philosophers such as Seo Kyung-duck, Lee Hwang, and Lee Yi talked about four characters and seven passions of human being. They started to focus more on the inside of human nature. During the later period of the Chosun Dynasty, a philosopher by the name of Dongmugong Lee Jema analyzed that one's nature and feelings can change his or her external matter and the function of internal organs by purity or impurity of one's mind. Based on these analysis, Dongmugong discovered 'sasangin' which puts more emphasis on one's state of mind compared to the outside the world. Also, Dongmugong tried to figure out the connections between Confucianism and medical science. If you use change fire and stone theory which is difference between hado and nock-seo to expain four seven theory one's mind could be define as four natural characters and seven feelings. From four seven theory four is ying and seven is yang. This is the method of cure and understand the structure of human body. And also, four natural characters and seven feelings can be divided into heaven and earth. You can see Four natural characters is far more similar to heaven and seven feelings are similar to earth. According to four-seven theory hado is permanent and you can find out 'sasangin' is permanent also. Since seven feelings are influenced by sam-jae, you can analogize there are 21 different types in 'sasangin'. An underlying principle should there be 28 different types of sasangin instead of 21 different types of sasangin but one quater of sasangin is hidden according to samhyuniljang theory. All creations in the world are organized by unification of the great absolute and symmetry distinction of yingyang. With these facts identity of the heaven, earth and man which is named samjae generates symbols of independent sasang. And also, sasang generates relations between five element, six energy and the six family relation. From six family relation comes seven feelings of man which creates a category of the eight trigrams for divination and unification of nine palace. All these process are united.

Human health is affected by not only physical conditions but also mental and social well-being. Changes of human emotions show up as gestures, facial expressions and sweating. Human emotions are affected by such automatic nerve system functions as blood pressure, blood circulation speed, heart beats, pupillary reflex, fluid transfusion, muscular contraction and digestive organs, all of which influence the holistic diseases. The Oriental Medicine sees from a perspective of unity of divinity and men that human life activities are united in terms of their physical and mental functions. From such a perspective, human Five Organs are linked with Five Mental(五神) and Seven Emotions(七情), while they are affected by each other, influencing the life activities both directly and indirectly. Based on Confucianism, Sa-Sang Theory argues that human emotions can be categorized into four energy states and therefore, that human diseases and physiological conditions there of may be determined differently depending on the Four Energies(四氣). There seems to be some common points between Sa-Sang Theory and the conventional Oriental Medicine in that human emotions affect individuals' health conditions, so there seems to be much room for mutual complementation.

Now a day, Information and its related system has been more important in our competitive environment. In this situation, there is also an important thing that we must take into consideration, that's the employer's resistance. Until now we have little material concerning the issue, user's resistance. Owing to that, it's a little hard to study the user's resistance against the IS. Dealing with the resistance effectively helps companies save a great deal of cost and build the information system successfully. This paper takes the Markus's theories about user's resistance. According to the theories, there are three keys theories affecting resistance. To sum this, people-oriented theory, system-oriented theory and Interaction theory. To complement the theories, this paper includes another theories related with resistance and takes total seven factors causing user's resistance. Among these seven factors, four factors have a meaningful effect on the user's resistance, that is, Self-efficacy, System Complexity, Threat of the one's status and politics and System Staff's service quality. Managers and system-related company should keep it in mind very carefully, and I hope they make the best use of the result of this study.

Objectives This report aimed to review literatures using extracorporeal shock wave with syndrome differentiation theory. Methods By March 3, 2020, five foreign electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CAJ) and six Korean medical electronic databases (KMBASE, KISTI, KISS, NDSL, DBpia, RISS) were reviewed with the key word 'extracorporeal shock wave' and 'syndrome differentiation'. We did not impose restrictions on age, gender, treatment methods, duration, results and the design of the paper. Results Twelve papers met the inclusion criteria. Seven papers used extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy with syndrome differentiation theory and six out of seven papers treated urologic stones using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The other five papers used extracorporeal shock wave therapy with syndrome differentiation theory and four of them treated musculoskeletal disorders. However, the data of the characteristics of extracorporeal shock wave was insufficient. Conclusions After thorough review, it is considered to be meaningful to treat urologic stones and musculoskeletal disorders using extercorporeal shock wave with syndrome differentiation theory. However, some of the literatures were limited in their feasibility and reliability in terms of research design. In addition, the data regarding the strength of the extracorporeal shock wave applied on each acupoints was insufficient. Therefore, further study on the use of extracorporeal shock wave on acupoints should be conducted.

This study focuses on practical appliance of color therapy to skin care. After visiting the notion of color therapy and skin care, this study considers the ideas and background theories for diagnosis of constitution and skin. Cosmic duals force five element theory developed in China was the first introduction; Ayurvedic medicine and seven chakra notion are examined. Cosmic duals force five element theory, an idea describing the composition and movement rule of the cosmic components, adopted five colors(white, yellow, red, blue, and black) for cure purposes. In future, mental effect of the color is examined in the latter part of this study. The practice of the color therapy assigns solarized cream treatment and photo therapy, simultaneously proposes the use of color therapy to the skin care. For the diagnosis of the constitution, cosmic duals force five element theory and ayurvedic medicine are followed in a sequence. Cosmic duals force five element theory introduces five colors. Constitution medicine considers four types, ayurvedic medicine adopts three types, and seven colors are mentioned as chakra colors. Such a variations lead to possible disagreement on constitution analysis and driven colors. This study adopts the above methodologies for selecting potential color therapy for skin care. Adopt of selected cases are purely a part of the proposal. Initially, examined theories serve as a pilot for selecting a representative hypothesis. Followed selection of constitution and matched color for the use of the skin care are the scope of this study. In summary, background methodologies are implemented for the calculation of color therapy.

Despite the relatively short history of Social Network Sites or Services (SNS), it has quickly gained popularity with more than seven hundred million users all over the globe. The SNS emerged as one of the strongest cultural influences for the contemporary society. The SNS would provide both chances and challenges for Education. The main purpose of the article was to explore the way education react and adapt to the emergence of social network and SNS. It tried to provide major theoretical grounds that bridge education and social network. In the due process, the researchers have examined the curriculum and instructional design process of education from the perspective of disruptive and sustainable aspect of SNS technology. Consequently, four major theoretical grounds were identified and reviewed: Gibson's theory of affordance, Vygotsky's social constructivism, Rha's human visual intelligence theory, and the network theory. By investigating these theories, the educational potentials of social network and SNS were emerged. The SNS was viewed as a new medium with abundant potentials of expanding the learning space, empowering the affective aspects of learning, and facilitating the formation of group intelligence. Finally, some future implications and challenges of SNS were suggested.

This study was to describe the process on experiences of self-leading leisure activities and develop a substantive theory that explains lifestyle in middle-aged office workers. The participants were 12 persons who had participated in self-leading leisure activities. Data were collected with in-depth interviews and analyzed by grounded theory in Strauss and Corbin. Through analyzing process, 28 concepts, 14 subcategories, and seven categories were deduced. The periods of process were divided four stages, plateau, the phage of recognition in social duties, the phage of strengthen in competency, and the phage of reconstruct in successful lifestyle. The core category, 'disclosing of self-esteem' incorporated the relationship between and among all categories and explained the process. The findings indicate that self-leading leisure activities helped to their own health and developed their social activities. Therefore, we would consider in developing health promotion program about favoring leisure activities factors for the middle age office worker.

The purpose of this study was to develop and test the structural model of a contraceptive behavior in Married Korean women. A hypothesis model was constructed on the basis of the health belief model, the theory of planned behavior and extensive literature review of contraception. The model was built by seven constructs. Four exogeneous variables included in the model were consisted of the contraceptive knowledges, the perceived threats, the sexual autonomy and the communication within a couple. Four endogenous variables were consisted of the attitudes toward contraception, the perceived control, the ability to plan a intercourse and the contraceptive behaviors. Empirical data for testing the hypothetical model were collected by the self report questionnaires from 243 Korean married women. The questionnaires used in this study were developed by this researcher and their Cronbach's alpha scores were ranged from .60 to .88. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS program(ver. 8.0) for descriptive statistical analysis and LISREL program(ver. 8.12a) for covariance structural analysis. On the basis of this results, it could be suggested that contraceptive behaviors be greatly affected by the perceived threats, the communications within couple, the attitudes toward contraception and the perceived control. Finally this model would be useful for the practice, theory and research of nursing.
