변비는 일상생활에서 식욕저하와 복부 팽만을 일으키며 더 나아가서 피부 노화, 두통, 피부 질환, 그리고 대장암을 일으킨다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 정상식이에 비해 약선효소 분말식이가 loperamide로 유도된 변비 쥐의 장 운동과 간 기능, 지질상태, 그리고 혈액학적 성분에 개선에 대한 효능을 검증하고자 실시하였다. 3일 동안 loperamide 투여로 유발된 변비 쥐의 일일 체중증가와 사료효율은 높았으며, 이때 효소식이의 공급으로 일일 체중 증가량이 조절되었다. 또한 변비 쥐의 변 개수, 변 중량 및 수분함량, 그리고 장 운동은 정상 쥐에 비해서 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 효소식이를 공급시켰을 때 장 운동이 증가되었다. 간 기능 지표인 GOT와 GPT 활성도는 정상식이 섭취군에서는 변비로 인하여 유의적으로 낮은 활성도를 보였다. 그러나 효소식이 섭취군에서는 변비유도로 GOT 활성도는 증가 된 반면에, GPT 활성도는 감소되었다. 변비 쥐의 혈액 내 중성지방, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 효소식이에 의한 저하효과는 없었으나, HDL-콜레스테롤과 동맥경화 및 심혈관계 지수에 대해서는 효소식이가 보호효과를 보였다. 혈액학적 성분으로 단백질 농도는 변비와 식이에 의한 영향을 받지 않았으나, 변비로 인하여 저하된 헤모글로빈 농도와 헤마토크리트치는 효소식이 공급으로 증가시킬 수 있었다. 이상의 실험 결과에서는 loperamide로 유도한 변비 쥐에서 장 운동성 저하, 동맥경화와 심혈관계지수, 그리고 헤모글로빈농도와 헤마토크리트치 등에 대해서 약선효소 식이가 다소 효과를 보인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 향후 만성적 변비에 대한 약선효소 식이효과에 대한 보다 심층적이 연구가 필요하며, 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 변비에 대한 약선효소 분말과 같은 천연물질의 기능성식품으로 연결된 산업화로 경제적 이익 창출과 변비의 예방으로 심혈관계 질환과 암의 발병률을 줄이고 변비 대한 식단개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

본 연구는 입원환자의 전자의무기록에서 용이하게 얻을 수 있는 지표들을 중심으로 초기영양평가를 신속하게 진행하기 위한 영양검색도구를 개발하고, 새로 개발한 영양검색도구에 대한 신뢰도을 검증하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 입원환자 903명을 대상으로, 의무기록 및 개별면담을 통해 자료를 수집하여 PGSGA를 기준으로 양호군과 영양불량군을 나누었다. 1) 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 양호군과 영양불량군으로 범주화하기 위한 최종 영양평가지표로 연령, BMI, 혈중 알부민, 혈중 콜레스테롤, 총단백질, 헤마토크리트, 체중변화, 섭취변화여부가 선정하였다. 특히 체중변화, 섭취변화여부의 경우는 예/아니오의 주관적 단답식 조사로 간단히 이루어졌다. 2) SMST의 영양평가결과 총 903명 중에서 양호군은 620명 (68.7%), 영양불량군은 283명 (31.3%)으로 나타났으며, 양호군과 영양불량군사이에 연령, 혈중 알부민, 총임파구수, BMI, 헤모글로빈, 헤마토크리트, 총단백질, 혈중 콜레스테롤, 재원기간 모두 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 3) SMST의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위해서 PGSGA와 NRS2002와의 민감도, 특이도, 카파비를 통한 일치도를 분석하였다. SM-ST는 PGSGA와 민감도 94.4%, 특이도 88.4%, 카파비 0.747로 'Substantial agreement'하며 (p < 0.001), NRS2002와 민감도 96.1%, 특이도 79.5%, 카파비 0.505로 'Moderate agreement' (p < 0.001)로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발한 새로운 초기영양검색 도구인 SMST의 영양평가지표는 의무기록 및 단답형의 질문으로 이루어져, 신속하고 간단한 초기영양평가가 가능하다. 특히 기존에 개인면담을 통해 시간적, 인력적 요구가 높은 영양도구들에 비해, 입원당시 기본적 신체계측과 함께 단답형으로 이뤄진 체중변화 및 식이섭취변화 여부가 기록될 경우 추가될 경우 추가조사 없는 의무기록으로 평가가 가능하다. SMST는 PGSGA, NRS2002와 높은 일치도를 보여 기존에 타당도가 높다고 알려진 두 영양검색 도구와 도구간 신뢰도가 검증되었다. 하지만 SMST는 합병증의 유무, 사망률, 재입원률, 병원비용 등 환자의 예후와 관련한 연관성 및 보편적 대상자에서의 유용성은 검증되지 않았으므로, 이에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The purpose of this research lies in presenting logical viability for the measures that curtail access to lewd Internet contents by middle school students amidst the reality in which lewd contents are circulated freely through the Internet, a medium that the middle school students find most easy to access. In order to establish right form of awareness towards sex, this research identified the ways they access the lewd Internet contents, their reaction after the exposure to those contents, their knowledge of sex, their concerns regarding sex and their accessibility to sexual activities in order to conduct a comparative analysis on the relationship between lewd Internet contents and their awareness of sex. First, realities of accessing lewd Internet contents and reactions according to the demographics of middle school students There isa significant difference in the experience of accessing lewd Internet contents in terms of gender. Mostly, male students tend to access the contents more. As for the way they access the lewd Internet contents, both male and female students replied that they access through spam mail of lewd nature. Thus, measures to address this problem are needed urgently. As to when they first accessed the lewd contents, most of the research subjects replied that they accessed either in elementary school period or in the early middle school period. This shows that most of the students got exposed to lewd contents even before they could establish positive, correct awareness of sex. Thus, there is a risk that they may formulate wrong kind of sexual awareness. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop measures through focused sex education. Students are divided into two groups according to the time they spend on the contents averagely: those who spend over one hour and those who spend less than an hour on the lewd contents. If the students spending longer hours are not to be checked and properly guided, it may lead to increasing cases of sexual delinquencies due to their wrongly formed awareness of sex. When the question of existence(non-existence) of guardian was addressed, students with both parents tend to access the lewd Internet contents in a more diverse manner and tend to access more compared to those students from single parent or no-parent families. Accordingly, guardians need to pay attention to how their children are using the Internet. Second, awareness of sex depending on the middle school students' demographics In case of sexual knowledge, middle school students shows relatively high level of knowledge. In particular, female students are found more knowledgeable than male students, and the students in upper years are more knowledgeable as well. As a result, this research recommends that the students in lower years should be guided with more basc and detailed information, while those in upper years need to be taught to form and express their own thoughts and attitudes and to build up independence on this matter. In case of worries about sex, both male and female students don't worry too much about it. However, male students are more concerned about sex than female students in a more diverse ways. As for the differences by academic year, concerns for sex increase, as students get older. Accordingly, sex education that helps establish sound perception of the opposite sex and that focuses on the etiquettes that one must adhere to at the presence of the opposite sex need to be conducted against middle school students. In case of accessibility to sex, male students manifest higher tendency than female students. As for the differences by academic year, those in the first and second years show higher accessibility than those in their third year. In general, younger students tend to be more open-minded toward sex. Accordingly, students in lower academic years need to undergo basic knowledge oriented sex education, whereas those in upper academic years need to undergo discussion centered sex education where they subject to questions regarding their attitude and opinion. Third, relationship between the reactions after the exposure to the lewd Internet contents and their awareness of sex As the frequency of contact with lewd Internet contents increases, awareness of sex increases as well. Thus, the lewd Internet contents contribute to the increase in students' concern for sex as well as increase in accessibility to sex, which eventually become barriers to students' establishment of a healthy perception of sex. Reactions to sex after the exposure to lewd Internet contents and awareness of sex indicate a significant correlation. However, negative correlation is manifested with knowledge of sex. Thus, it is possible to know that the greater access to lewd Internet contents does not necessarily translate into increase in knowledge of sex. However, the study showed there is a correlation between concerns for sex and the level of accessibility to sex. In more detail, the more reactions to the contents they show, the more concerns for sex they have and the more positively they take acceptability to sex. Moreover, it is necessary to develop necessary measures since textbooks today do not include measures needed to address the lewd Internet contents. Given the above findings, it is necessary to continue to complement structural measures in order to prevent easy access of lewd Internet contents by middle school students. Moreover, it is necessary to be considerate of the students so that they themselves can form a healthy Internet culture and grow up within positive framework for the sex education.

최근 한국사회의 고령화 및 노인장기요양 보험제도의 시작으로 노인 신체기능 및 장애에 대한 관심이 증가한 가운데, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 하나로 근위축비만(Sarcopenic obesity) 즉, 근육양 감소와 지방량 증가가 동시에 나타나는 현상에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 비만과 근 위축 각각이 노인의 신체기능에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 존재하나, 근위축 비만이 노인의 신체기능 및 체력에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 극히 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구는 경기도 Y시에 자립적으로 거주하는 60세 이상의 여성고령자 257명(평균연령 74.5세)의 신체조성을 측정한 후 Davison의 분류법을 이용하여 정상체지방군, 높은 체지방군, 근위축군, 근위축비만군의 4개 군으로 분류하고 7개의 노인신체기능측정(의자에서 앉았다 일어서기, 아령들기, 상완 유연성, 정적형성, 2분 제자리 걷기, 하지 유연성 및 8 feet 앉았다 일어서서 돌아오기(8ft TUG))검사항목과 측정장치를 이용한 4개의 기초체력항목(악력, 자세안정성, 무릎신근력 및 굴근력)에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 일원배치분산분석과 다중비교검정을 위한 LSD 사후검정을 실시하였으며 유의수준은 5%에서 검정하였다. 정상군의 의자에서 앉았다 일어서기, 아령들기, 상완유연성, 2분 제자리 걷기 결과는 근위축군(p<.05)과 근위축비만군(p<.05)보다 유의하게 높았다. 정적평형성은 정상군이 근위축비만군에 비하여 유의하게 높았으며(p<.01), 근위축군이 근위축비만군보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.01). 8ft TUG는 근위축비만군만이 정상군에 비하여 유의하게 낮은 결과를 보였다(p<.01). 악력(F=20.87,p<.001), 60도에서의 최대 신근력은 정상군이 근위축군(p<.01)과 근위축비만군(p<.01)보다 유의하게 높았으며 60도에서의 최대 굴극력역시 정상군이 근위축군(p<.01)과 근위축비만군(p<.01)보다 유의하게 높은 결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 노후의 자립적 삶을 영위하기 위한 기능유지의 위험인자로서 비만상태보다는 근위축비만군임을 입증하였으며, 노후 신체허약의 위험인자로 근위축비만에 대한 중재가 필요함을 보여주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 근골격계질환, 특히 직업성요통에 관련되는 위험요인의 영향을 종합적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 첫째로 물리적인 요인의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 해석적인 인체역학 모델과 NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health) Guidelines를 이용하여 자동차 조립작업의 직업성 요통관련 위험도를 평가하였다. 총 246 작업자에 대한 분석을 수행하였는데, 분석결과 총 20개의 작업에서 L5/S1에서의 압축력이 300kg이 넘었으며 44개의 작업은 NIOSH Guidelines에 의한 분석결과, 최저허용기준치(ACTION LIMIT)을 넘는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째로 사회심리적 요인과 직업성요통의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 사회심리적 요인의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 증상과 PWI(Psychosocial Well-being Index)를 토대로 한 설문을 이용하여 246명 작업자 모두에게 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 207명의 작업자가 직업성 요통증상을 경험한 적이 있으며 특히 27명의 작업자는 유병자로 분류된 바 있는 사람들이었다. PWI 점수를 근거로 하여 나눈 두 집단(저스트레스군, 고 스트레스군)은 증상이나 진단결과에 있어서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 사회심리적 스트레스와 작업강도와의 관계를 살펴보면 주로 작업자세요인과 사회심리적 스트레스가 유의한 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 직업성요통의 발생에 대하여 경로분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 인구학적 요인, 사회심리적 요인, 작업특성 요인이 직업성 요통에 직접적으로 영향을 미쳤으며, 개인특성요인 즉, 작업경험, 흡연, 수면시간 등은 직업성요통에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 개인특성요인은 직업성 요통에 유의한 영향을 미치는 사회심리적 요인과는 밀접한 관계를 가졌다. 향후 다양한 직종에서의 이와같은 경험적 연구결과가 축적되어 우리나라의 조직문화적 특성을 고려한 직업성 요통에 대한 위험모델에 구축되어야 한다고 사료된다.

As a part of the epidemiological studies of clonorchiasis, this study was conducted to evaluate the current endemicity and the natural transition of the Clonorchis infection in Gimhae Gun and delta area a high endemic area in Korea in recent years, prior to the introduction of praziquantel which will eventually influence the status of the prevalence. The data obtained in this study in 1983 were evaluated for natural transition of the infection in comparison with those obtained 16 years ago in 1967 by the author(Kim, 1974). The areas of investigation, villages and schools surveyed, methods and techniques used in this study were the same as in 1967, except for the contents of the questionnaire for raw freshwater fish consumption by the local inhabitants. 1) The prevalence rate of clonorchiasis in the general population of the villages was 48.1% on the average out of a total of 484 persons examined. The average of those of the riverside-delta area was 65.2% and 43.0% in the inland area. Among the schoolchildren, the prevalence rate was 8.2% on the average out of a total of 1,423 examined. By area, the prevalence rate was 10.8% in the riverside delta area and 2.8% in the inland area. By sex, difference in the prevalence was seen only in the inhabitants of the inland area showing 52.4% in the male and 33.5% in the female. 2) In the natural transition of the infection, the prevalence rate among the inhabitants has decreased from 68.8% in 1967 to 48.1% in 1983, and in the schoolchildren from 56.4% in 1967 to 8.2% in 1983. The reduction rate was higher in the riverside-delta area than in the inland area. 3) In the prevalence rate by age, 11.9% was first seen in the 5-9 age group and the rate gradually increased up to 75.0% in the 50-59 age group. By sex, the rate was higher in the male than in the female in the 20-29 age group and over. 4) In the natural transition of the prevalence rate by age, the reduction rate of the infection during the past 16 years was greater in the younger age groups up to the 40-49 age group and reached the same level in the age group 50-59. Reduction was seen again in the age group over 60s. By sex, the reduction rate was greater in the female than in the male in the 20-29 age group and over. By area, the reduction rate was greater in the riverside delta area than in the inland area, particularly in the young age groups. 5) In the intensity of the infection among the cases, the mean egg out-put per mg feces per infected cases(EPmg) in the inhabitants was 6.3. EPmg of those of the river-side-delta area was 15.4 and that of the in-land was 2.8. On the other hand, in the schoolchildren, EPmg was 3.2, and no difference was seen between the two areas, the river-side-delta area and the inland area. 6) In the transition of the intensity of the infection by area, EPmg among the inhabitants inexplically increased from 7.8 in 1967 to 15.4 in 1983. This was probably caused by uneven specimen collection in the process of sampling the population. EPmg of the inhabitants in the inland area and those of the schoolchildren of both riverside delta and inland areas showed a similar decrease in the past 16 years. 7) The intensity of the infection by age showed a relatively low level in the 20-29 age group and below, and EPmg 5.1-9.5 was seen in the 30-39 age group and over. Sex, Epmg was 5.8 in the male and 4.7 the female. By in 8) In the transition of the intensity of the infection, EPmg decreased from 6.2 in 1967 to 5.4 in 1983. By age, in contrast to the figures of 1967 in which EPmg gradually increased with some fluctuation from 1.1 in the 0-4 age group to peak 10.5 in the 50-59 age group, in 1983 lower intensity of the infection was seen in the age group from 10-14 to 20-29 with the EPmg range of 0.6-2.7. 9) In the distribution of the clonorchiasis cases by the range of EPmg value, 43.2% of the cases were in 0.1 0.9 and 34.6% in 1.0-4.9. As a whole by cumulative percent, 44.6% of them were under 0.9 as light infection and 86.1% of them under 9.9 up to moderate infection. By sex, no difference was seen in Epmg. 10) In the transition of the distribution by the range of Epmg, the cases were distributed up to the range 80.0-99.9 in 1967 and to 60.0-79.9 in 1983. By cumulative percent, in the range of 0.1-0.9 and less, light infection, 34.3% of them were distributed in 1967 and 44.6% in 1983 with about 10% increase. In the range of 5.0-9.9 and less, up to moderate infection, 83.2% in 1967 and 86.1% in 1983 of the cases were seen, respectively. 11) The practice of raw freshwater fish consumption among the inhabitants seems to have decreased in recent years. Those who admitted to raw freshwater fish consumption in the last two years among the infected inhabitants were 59.3%, although 86.8% of them professed to have experience with raw freshwater fish consumption. 31.7% of those who have had experience of the raw freshwater fish consumption denied any further consumption in recent years. From an interview of 543 school-children, 24.1% of them admitted to an experience of raw freshwater fish consumption. However, those who have practised in the past two years comprized 17.9%. Those who denied raw freshwater fish consumption in recent years among those who had such experience were 26.0% out of 131 interviewed. The rate of raw freshwater fish consumption in both inhabitants and schoolchildren were higher in the male than in the female. On the contrary, the rate of those who did not practise in recent years among those who had experience of raw freshwater fish consumption was higher in the female than in the male. 12) The major reason for the reduction of raw freshwater fish consumption among the local inhabitants was the risk of the fluke infection. However, it has become apparent that such change of taste has resulted from water pollution impact which has affected throughout the areas of the freshwater systems in this locality since last several years. 13) In animal survey, Clonorchis infection was seen in 14.8% of 88 dogs examined and 3.7% of 27 house rats examined. It was noted that populations of dogs and cats have increased in the villages surveyed. Although the prevalence rate was lower in the present survey than those of 1967, the significance of the animals as the reservoir host has not changed. 14) Prevalence rate of Clonorchis infection by cercariae in the first intermediate host, Parafossarulus manchouricus, was 0.6% out of 517 snails examined. The infection rate was lower in comparison with 2.3% out of 2,124 examined in 1967. Moreover, sharp decreases in number and distribution of the intermediate host snails in many watershed areas of the huge freshwater systems in this locality seemed to reduce transmission of Clonorchis in connection with the intermediate host stage of its life cycle. 15) Clonorchis infection in the second intermediate fish hosts was relatively low. The mean number of Clonorchis metacercaria per fish in Pseudorasbora parva was 517 in 1983, whereas it was 1943 in 1968 through 1969. Environmental water pollution has also caused the decreased fish population density in these areas, and this has also apparently affected to the practice of raw freshwater fish consumption among the local inhabitants. 16) In conclusion, endemicity of Clonorchis infection in Gimhae Gum and delta area of the Nagdong River has sharply decreased during the past 16 years. The major cause of the regressive transition of the infection was the water pollution of the land water systems of this locality. The pollution has upset the ecosystems comprizing of the intermediate hosts of Clonorchis in many areas, and also affected to a significant extent to the discontinuance of the local inhabitants for raw freshwater fish consumption.

This article is the reserch on actual condition of crime of arson which occurs in Korea and its countermeasures. The the presented problem in this article are that (1) we have generally very low rate concern about the crime of arson contrary to realistic problems of rapid increase of crime of arson (2) as such criminal motives became so diverse as to the economic or criminal purpose unlike characteristic and mental deficiency of old days, and to countermeasure these problems effectively it presentation the necessity of systemantic research. Based on analysis of reality of arson, the tendency of this arson in Korea in the ratio of increase is said to be higher than those in violence crime or general fire rate. and further its rate is far more greater than those of the U.S.A. and Japan. Arson is considered to be a method of using fire as crime and in case of presently residence to be the abject, it is a public offense crime which aqccompany fatality in human life. This is the well It now fact to all of us. And further in order to presentation to the crime of arson, strictness of criminal law (criminal law No, 164 and 169, and fire protection law No. 110 and 111) and classification of arsonist as felony are institutionary reinforced to punish with certainty of possibility, Therefore, as tendency of arson has been increased compared to other nations, it is necessary to supplement strategical policy to bring out overall concerns of the seriousness of risk and damage of arson, which have been resulted from the lack of understanding. In characteristics analysis of crime of arson, (1) It is now reveald that, in the past such crime rate appeared far more within the boundary of town or city areas in the past, presently increased rate of arsons in rural areas are far more than in the town or small city areas, thereby showing characteristics of crime of arson extending nation wide. (2) general timetable of arson shows that night more than day time rate, and reveald that is trait behavior in secrecy.(3) arsonists are usually arrested at site or by victim or report of third person(82,9%).Investigation activities or self surrenders rate only 11.2%. The time span of arrest is normally the same day of arson and at times it takes more than one year to arrest. This reveals its necessity to prepare for long period of time for arrest, (4) age rate of arson is in their thirties mostly as compared to homicide, robbery and adultery, and considerable numbers of arsons are in old age of over fifties. It reveals age rate is increased (5) Over half of the arsonists are below the junior high school (6) the rate of convicts by thier records is based on first offenders primarily and secondly more than 4 time convicts. This apparently shows necessity of effective correctional education policy for their social assimilation together with re-investigation of human education at the primary and secondary education system in thier life. The examples of motivation for arosnits, such as personal animosity, fury, monetary swindle, luscious purpose and other aims of destroying of proof, and other social resistance, violence including ways of threatening, beside the motives of individual defects, are diverse and arsonic suicide and specifically suicidal accompany together keenly manifested. When we take this fact with the criminal theory, it really reveals arsons of crime are increasing and its casualities are serious and a point as a way of suicide is the anomie theory of Durkheim and comensurate with the theory of that of Merton, Specifically in the arson of industrial complex, it is revealed that one with revolutionary motive or revolting motive would do the arsonic act. For the policy of prevention of arsons, professional research work in organizational cooperation for preventive activities is conducted in municipal or city wise functions in the name of Parson Taskforces and beside a variety of research institutes in federal government have been operating effectively to countermeasure in many fields of research. Franch and Sweden beside the U.S. set up a overall operation of fire prevention research funtions and have obtained very successful result. Japan also put their research likewise for countermeasure. In this research as a way of preventive fire policy, first, it is necessary to accomodate the legal preventitive activities for fire prevention in judicial side and as an administrative side, (1) precise statistic management of crime of arson (2) establishment of professional research functions or a corporate (3) improvement of system for cooperative structural team for investigation of fires and menpower organization of professional members. Secondly, social mentality in individual prospect, recognition of fires by arson and youth education of such effect, educational program for development and practical promotion. Thirdly, in view of environmental side, the ways of actual performance by programming with the establishment of cooperative advancement in local social function elements with administrative office, habitants, school facilities and newspapers measures (2) establishment of personal protection where weak menpowers are displayed in special fire prevention measures. These measures are presented for prevention of crime of arson. The control of crime and prevention shall be prepared as a means of self defence by the principle of self responsibility Specifically arsonists usually aims at the comparatively weak control of fire prevention is prevalent and it is therefore necessary to prepare individual facilities with their spontaneous management of fire prevention instead of public municipal funtures of local geverment. As Clifford L. Karchmer asserted instead of concerns about who would commit arson, what portion of area would be the target of the arson. It is effective to minister spontaveously the fire prevention measure in his facility with the consideration of characteristics of arson. On the other hand, it is necessary for the concerned personnel of local goverment and groups to distribute to the local society in timely manner for new information about the fire prevention, thus contribute to effective result of fire prevention result. In consideration of these factors, it is inevitable to never let coincide with the phemonemon of arsons in similar or mimic features as recognized that these could prevail just an epedemic as a strong imitational attitude. In processing of policy to encounter these problems, it is necessary to place priority of city policy to enhancement of overall concerns toward the definitive essense of crime of arson.
