Purpose: This study aims to draw students' attention to dementia and give students the right perception of dementia patients by comparing and analyzing students' awareness of dementia and educational needs of students in Honam area. In addition, the study will provide basic data that will help people develop education programs to prevent dementia. Methods: The study was conducted from May 10, 2018 to June 14, 2018, for 957 college students of physical therapy at 11 universities in Gwangju and Jeonnam. All participants understood the purpose of the study and agreed to participate in the study. Out of a total of 957 respondents, 950 people participated in the study, except for the seven who were unsuccessful in the survey. Results: Interest in dementia was found to be moderate, and many respondents answered that they had "information about dementia". Among them, broadcasting accounted for 41 percent of the total. Dementia awareness was categorized in four areas, symptom, disease, treatment, and nursing. In general, there is a low perception in all areas and improvement is needed. The need for dementia education was also different from what we thought. 649 students(68%) answered that they did not have dementia education. This is 349(36%) more than the 300 students(32%) who answered "Yes". Conclusion: The results show that college students lack awareness of dementia. In order to improve awareness of dementia, the government and community should be more interested in managing dementia, and active efforts to develop positive thinking and attitudes towards dementia.

This study made an analysis of the effects of performance and learning orientation for the existing FTA on the intention to use a trilateral FTA among Korea, China and Japan. The results of the empirical analysis of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises(SMEs) located in Gwangju and Jeonnam provinces are as follows. First, there is a positive correlation between the effects of performance for the existing FTA and intention of a trilateral FTA. This result suggests that SMEs' performance feedback can be used as an asset of corporate experience and will be helpful to increase the intention to use a trilateral FTA by contributing to have sustainable competitive advantage of companies. Secondly, there is a positive correlation between the SMEs' learning orientation about FTA and intention to use a trilateral FTA. This result indicates that SMEs have more learning orientation for FTA. They actively acquire and diffuse information. These activities can be helpful for having prior knowledge and absorptive capacity. In conclusion, this study is considered to provide useful theoretical and practical implications that can contribute to enhancing the using intention of a trilateral FTA by explaining the significance of performance feedback and learning orientation.

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between dietary habits and time spent watching TV and using internet, in elementary school children. The data were collected by a questionnaire survey of 712 elementary school children, within Gwangju and Jeonnam area. The SPSS 12.0/win program was used to analyze the 523 samples. Amount of TV-watching time was found to be related to the dietary habit score in the subjects. The children who watch TV "less than 1 hour/day" on weekdays had a better dietary habit score than those who watch TV "more than 1 hour" (p<0.0001). The children who watch TV "less than 2 hours/day" on weekends had a better dietary habit than the children who watch TV "more than 2 hours/day" (p<0.0001). The internet usage was also related to the dietary habit score in these children: those who use internet "less than 1 hour/day" on weekdays had a better dietary habit score than the children who use internet "more than 2 hours/day" (p<0.0001). The children who use internet "less than 2 hours/day" on weekends had a better dietary habit score than the children who use internet "more than 2 hours/day" (p<0.0001). These results indicate that the children tend to have a better diet when their TV and internet time is limited and thus healthy dietary behavior is negatively associated with a sedentary pattern of activity in elementary school children.

Korea, which is located in the middle-latitude area of the northern hemisphere, has four seasons. These seasons can be classified based on their months, mean temperatures, biology and natural phenomena. In this study, climatic changes were identified by biotic and temperature seasons, changing trends were compared by season, and the appropriateness of the biotic phenomena for the biotic season classification was examined. The data for this study included the mean temperatures, and biology phenomenon observation dates, which had been observed for 38 years from the ASOSs in seven Gwangju and Jeonnam regions. Limitations were found in the classification of the temperature and biotic seasons. Especially in the case of the biotic season based on a single life, the points of the first sighting and the initial sound fluctuated so much that the accuracy of the results was not guaranteed. Therefore, the life species had to be selected subject to detailed verification and accurate specifications, and to be applied to the meteorological phenomena. In addition, there were lives in the standard biology that could no longer be observed because of environmental pollution and climatic change, which indicates the need to protect the existing standard biology.

Gwangjueupseong (Gwangju Town Wall) has been found in the site of the Asian Culture Complex (former Provincial Government of Jeonnam) by archaeological field survey. The length of the remaining wall is 85.1m, and the Town Wall consists of ten kinds of rock type. The major rock types are dacite (41.1%) and andesite (35.7%). Dacite composes main rock blocks of the wall, and andesite is used to fill the cavity between main rock blocks. These rocks look very similar to basement rocks of the Mudeung Mountain on the basis of occurrence features, magnetic susceptibility, petrological, mineralogical and geochemical properties. Also, quarrying traces were found on the southwestern slope of the mountain along the Jeungsimsa Temple valley. Thus, it is probable that the rock materials of the Gwangju Town Wall were supplied from the Mudeung Mountain and that they were transported along the Gwangju river.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the association between status of national health insurance and survival is also present in a community in Jeonnam province, South Korea. The Gwangju-Jeonnam Cancer Registry, a population-based cancer registry, provided information to identify the cancer cases of study community diagnosed from 1998 to 2007. Total of 2,046 cases were identified during the period. There were significant associations between the status of national health insurance and survival for total cancer after adjusted by age, geographic accessibility to health care, and stage at diagnosis. However, this differences were not found in the analysis using only stomach and colorectal cancer cases.
