As rapid aging society comes and people have growing interest in health, health issue has become an important value in modern society. The demand for healthy and comfortable residential environment has also increased and people themselves have made effort to build healthy residential environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of health housings planned and built by ordinary people. The study analyzed the contents of healthy houses that were broadcasted on TV with the title of healthy houses. Analyzed items were the planning elements and motives of building such healthy houses reflected in the samples of respective healthy houses. The result of the study revealed there were many examples of housings for healing purpose and the planning elements were in the order of architecture elements, natural elements, decoration elements, other elements and technical elements. While the experts usually put priority on technical elements for developing of healthy houses, ordinary people put priority on natural elements. This study comprehensively presents the overall characteristics of healthy houses which ordinary people pursue, on empirical basis. It is expected that this study will inspire to think about the desirable direction of healthy houses for the residents by comparing with or along with the concepts of housings that experts pursue.

Background: From 2018 to 2020, the Expert Study on Public Understanding after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident (the Expert Study Group) identified and analyzed activities designed to promote public understanding of science and radiation since the Fukushima accident, and held discussions on how to achieve public understanding in the situation where public confidence has been lost, and how experts should prepare for dealing with the public. This panel session was held at the 53^rd meeting of the Japan Health Physics Society on June 30, 2020. Materials and Methods: First, three subgroup (SG) leaders reported their research methods and results. Then, two designated speakers, who participated as observers of the Expert Study Group, commented on the activities. Next, the five speakers held a panel discussion. Finally, the rapporteur summarized. Results and Discussion: SG leaders presented reports from researchers and practitioners in health physics and environmental risks who provided information after the Fukushima accident. During the discussion, experts in sociology and ethics discussed the issues, focusing on the overall goals of the three groups, local (personal) and mass communication, and ethical values. Many of the activities instituted by the experts after the accident were aimed at public understanding of science (that is, to provide knowledge to residents), but by taking into account interactions with residents and their ethical norms, the experts shifted to supporting the residents' decision-making through public engagement. The need to consider both content and channels is well known in the field of health communication, and overlaps with the above discussion. Conclusion: How to implement and promote the public engagement in society was discussed in both the floor and designated discussions. Cooperation between local communities and organizations that have already gained trust is also necessary in order to develop relationships with local residents in normal times, to establish an information transmission system, and to make it work effectively.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which originated in Wuhan, China, is pandemic. It has occurred in more than 170 countries on six continents. In Korea, COVID-19's cases are more than 9,000. The reasons of pandemic COVID-19 are that COVID-19 can spread asymptomatic or early in symptoms although similar reproductive number to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS), that there are more travelers in China and world than the SARS of 2003, and that the control of COVID-19 was contaminated to political considerations in China, World Health Organization (WHO), and Korea. Emerging infectious diseases such as COVID-19 will occur in the future. To prepare for control of emerging infectious disease, first, the Ministry of Health should be independent from Ministry of Health and Welfare and the department of disease management should be established. Second, experts for making evidence about the emerging infectious diseases should be trained and the plan that is the mobilization of manpower and facilities in large cases will be established. Third, the WHO should enhance its capacity to manage emerging infectious diseases and Korea will support the country of occurred emerging diseases through experts in the analysis of emerging infectious diseases.

This study was done to investigate the independent organizations established for patient safety, related policies, and the duties of experts in other countries. Australia established an organization called the Commission in 2006, the United Kingdom established the National Patients Safety Agency in 2001, and the United States assigned its work to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in 2005. This was done by law in all three countries. The experts for patient safety were mainly called the "patent safety and quality coordinator", and although there was no qualification system for carrying out patient safety work, all three countries had licenses in the health care field or required more than 4-5 years of practical experience. The main duties were planning on patient safety and quality of healthcare service, data collection and analysis, and education, etc. and for this, competencies such as communication, leadership, and teamwork were required.

본 연구의 목적은 u-health 서비스 수요자를 대상으로 u-health 서비스에 대한 기본적인 인식 이용 의향 및 법 제도 개선 방향을 조사함과 동시에 u-health 서비스 활성화 방안에 대한 공급자 및 다양한 관련 이해집단 전문가 의견을 조사하여, 이를 바탕으로 u-health 서비스 활용확산을 위한 정책방향을 도출하는 것이다. 조사 결과, 수요자와 공급자 양측 모두 장기적으로는 u-health 서비스 활용 범위가 크게 확대될 것으로 예상하였지만 현재 u-health 서비스 활용 확산에 여러 가지 걸림돌이 존재하여 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 소비자 대상 설문 조사에서는 u-health 서비스에 대한 인식 및 신뢰가 아직 충분하지 않은 점 때문에 단기간 내에 전면적인 활용 확산이 어려울 것으로 나타났으며, 전문가 조사에서는 법 제도적 문제가 가장 큰 걸림돌로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 u-health 서비스가 우리나라에서 빠르게 활성화되기 위해서는 u-health 서비스에 대한 인지도를 높여야 하며, 소비자들이 u-health 서비스를 보다 신뢰할 수 있도록 업계와 정부의 노력이 필요하다. 또한 u-health 서비스 관련 법 제도를 조속히 개선하여 공급자가 u-health 서비스를 통하여 안정적으로 수익을 창출할 수 있는 환경을 만들어야 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 당구 숙련자와 비 숙련자를 대상으로 당구 스트로크 시 근활성도와 뇌파를 비교 분석함으로써 두 집단 간의 차이를 규명하여 객관적이고 과학적인 데이터를 통해 당구의 효과와 효율적인 훈련 방법을 위한 기초 데이터를 제시하는데 있다. 연구결과 숙련자와 비숙련자간에 근활성도에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 뇌파에서도 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 당구 스트로크 시 숙련자와 비숙련자 간의 근활성도와 뇌파에는 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 원인은 연구대상자의 부족, 일회적인 실험, 그리고 심리적 및 생리적인 실험 통제를 완전히 하지 못했기 때문이라고 생각되며 이와 관련하여 본 연구에 대한 기전을 보다 명확하게 밝히기 위해서는 추후 생리 및 심리적인 실험통제가 이루어진 상황에서의 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
