  • 본 연구는 치매로 진단받지 않은 노인 1,477명을 대상으로, 우울이 없는 정상노인과 우울노인으로 선별하고, 이 두 집단의 인지기능저하요인들을 파악하고 비교하였다. 결과를 보면 우울이 없는 정상노인의 인지기능저하에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령과 학력이었으며, 연령(OR=1.095)이 높을수록 또한 무학(OR=9.129)이 인지기능 저하의 위험이 높았다. 한편 우울한 노인의 인지기능저하에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, 학력, 거주형태로 나타났으며, 연령이 높을수록(OR=1.101), 학력이 낮을수록(무학:OR=33.020, 초졸:OR=10.176, 중졸:OR=9.841), 기관에 거주할수록(요양원거주:OR=8.490) 인지기능 저하의 위험이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 치매 고위험집단으로 인식되고 있는 우울노인들 중에서도 특히 학력이 낮고 사회적 지지가 취약한 노인을 초점으로 중재하는 것이 치매관리에 소요되는 사회자원을 비용-효과적으로 이용하는 것임을 보여주고 있다.

  • 네팔의 보건부산하 보건서비스부서에서는 5개년계획을 게우고 있으며, 지방에서 기본적인 보건의료서비스제공을 위한 주요 전략으로 일차보건의료사업을 하고 있다. 그러나 자유화 정책(Liberation policy)으로 인해 도시지역의 전문화된 서비스 개발, 인간자원 개발, 경영강화와 민간 및 대외 투자 등이 활발해졌다. 그러나 네팔은 아직도 높은 출산력, 영양결핍, 전염병, 높은 사망률 등을 겪고 있는 데 이는 조기결혼, 미신적인 전통신앙과 행동, 비위생적 생활, 빈곤, 문명, 감독과 모니터링의 결핍, 높은 인구밀도, 민간 및 대외활동에 더 많이 투자해야 하고; 인력개발 및 전문화된 서비스가 관리되어야 하며; 경영기술이 강화되고 이전사업의 평가를 통해 향후 사업수행상의 오류를 피할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 이러한 것들이 개선된다면 네필주민의 건강목표는 달성될 것이다.

  • 코로나19로 무인·비대면 중심의 디지털 대전환이 가속화되고 있다. 디지털 문명처럼 디지털 시대로 변해가지만, 디지털을 사용하지 못하는 사람에게는 일상 속 불편이 디지털 문맹 수준으로 하락하고 있다. 디지털 사용자와 비사용자 간의 사회적 격차가 생기고 디지털 비사용자는 사회에서 분리되는 상황이 발생하고 있다. 디지털 소외계층의 디지털 사회화를 위해 디지털 세계로의 전환이 가속화되고 일상생활에서 디지털 사용능력이 중요시되고 있다. 디지털 세계로의 전환이 가속화될수록 개인의 사회적·경제적 차이가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제로 인해 사회의 지속 가능 성장을 저해하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 교육을 누구나 편리하게 받기 위해서 국민 누구나 받을 수 있는 교육으로 접근성이 뛰어난 교육 모델을 설계하고자 한다. 일생 생활에 필요한 디지털 기본역량을 단계적으로 제안하고 편하게 받을 수 있는 디지털 종합 역량교육을 통하여 생활의 불편함을 해소하고 보편적으로 사용할 수 있는 디지털 교육 모델을 제안하고자 한다.

  • This paper deals with the artistic expression of religious thought in terms of the uniqueness of different images and creativity. The relationship between religion and art is complicated but popular in modern society. Film becomes the icon of modern culture to enhance the knowledge of religious traditions. Among many Korean religious films, Kang Daejin's work, The Way of Peace (1984) contains the life and thought of Kang Jeungsan(1871-1909), the highest god of Daesoonjinrihoe. First, the film, The Way of Peace, pays attention to the legitimacy of succession from Kang Jeungsan to Cho Jeongsan(1895-1958). Korea was beset with trouble both at home and abroad. China, Japan, Russia, and the US had the colonial desire to conquer the lands of Korea and to explore natural resources. Though the people of Eastern Learning(東學) protested government and Japanese colonialists, Jeungsan applied the principle of non-violence to the world. In order to save all the living beings of the world, he reordered the universe and renewed the harmonic relationship of human beings and their spirit. Second, The Way of Peace proposed the soteriology of peace and change to audience regardless of seekers(道人) or not. Jeungsan transformed the closed society to the open society, changed divided religions to the transcendent truth(道). He empowered the marginalized people such as women, the lowly, the elderly, and the sick, who were oppressed in the Confucian society. And he redeemed the people from the disease by healing all diseases and correcting disorders. In conclusion, The Way of Peace is a good resource of religious education by which we can overcome the religious illiteracy. The knowledge of new religious movements and Daesoonjinrihoe is necessary for us to understand the diversity of human nature. In the near future, the new images of Jeungsan should be created through multi-media and cultural contents for the new generation.

  • This research tries to review the history and concepts of Thai temple mural painting. According to the research results, the history of Thai mural painting dates back to the late 14th century when Wat Chedi Chet Taeo in Si Satchanalai was built. The Sinhalese elements embedded in the Sukhothai murals are also found in the Ayuthayan stupa murals made in the early 15th century. The mid 18th century's Burmese invasion into Ayuthaya destroyed most of Buddhist temples in the Kingdom of Ayuthaya and as a result, Buddhist murals of the late Ayuthayan age are hardly found except for some temple murals located outside of the capital. The late Ayuthayan murals are much different from the early Ayuthayan murals in that they are narrative in depicting Jataka and the life of Lord Buddha. This classical mural painting culminated in the age of Rama III of Bangkok Dynasty. His successor Rama IV undertook westernized reforms which influenced the area of traditional mural painting. Consequently, new western style Buddhist mural paintings were produced while themes of mural painting were enlarged to the other subjects such as historical recording of royal and social events. This trend continued in the age of Rama V but the development of Thai Buddhist mural painting discontinued after the death of Rama V due to the rapid westernization and decrease of illiteracy. The existing Buddhist murals produced on or before the reign of Rama V are deteriorating and disappearing. The reasons for this are partly because of Thailand's humid climate. However, some social backgrounds such as the lack of concern for preserving old Buddhist murals can not be disregarded. Considering the substantial value of Thai Buddhist murals as a cultural resource in Thai society, it is very urgent to establish appropriate conservation policy for them.

  • Kwashiorkor는 단백질 결핍으로 인한 영양실조로 저알부민혈증, 설사, 피부염, 부종을 증상으로 나타낸다. 단백질-열량 결핍은 면역결핍을 초래하고 이는 감염에 대한 감수성을 높임으로써 생명을 위협하는 상태가 될 수 있다. 치료는 조기 영양공급, 감염증 치료가 주이며, 치료 경과 중 확장성 심근증이 나타날 수 있으며 이 경우 예후가 안 좋다. Kwashiorkor는 주로 빈곤한 나라에서 생긴다고 알려져 왔으며, 기술적으로 진보한 나라에서 치명적인 결과까지 낳은 예는 보고된 바가 없었다. 치명적인 kwashiorkor 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 환아는 가난때문이 아니라 부모의 잘못된 생각으로 2개월 동안 곡물에 태운 곡식가루만 먹었으며, 설사, 전신 부종, 홍반, 저체온증 등을 주소로 입원하였다. 면역 결핍이 있는 상태였으며, 혈액 배양 검사상 Alcaligenes Xylosoxidans가 동정되었다. 단백질 보충식이 및 항생제 치료, 정주용 면역글로불린치료, 미세영양소 보충하였으나 확장성 심근병증, 다발성 장기 부전으로 사망하였다.

  • Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the one of the most common cancers in women. It is also a leading cause of death. Unfortunately, some patients initially present with distant metastases and are diagnosed with stage IV disease that is nearly always, by then, incurable. This retrospective analysis investigated the risk factors for stage IV BC that may underlie such late presentation. Materials and Methods: In all, 916 patients with BC who visited the medical oncology polyclinic of eight different centres in Turkeybetween December 2011 and January 2013 were analysed. Results: A total of 115 patients (12.6%) presented with stage IV disease. In univariate analysis; to comparing these with patients at other stages, no statistical difference was found for median diagnosis age or age at menarche (p=0.611 and p=0.820), whereas age at menopause and age at first live birth were significant (p=0.018 and p=0.003). No difference was detected in terms of accompanying diseases, use of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, smoking, alcohol consumption and the rate of family history of BC between the patients (p=0.655, p=0.389, p=0.762, p=0.813, p=0.229, p=0.737). However, screening methods were employed less often, the rate of illiteracy was higher, and the rate of other cancers was higher in patients with stage IV BC (p=0.022, p=0.022, p=0.018). No statistical difference was observed between the patients in terms of tumour histopathology, and status of oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, or human epidermal growth factor-2 receptor (p=0.389, p=0.326, p=0.949, p=0.326). Grade 3 tumours were more frequent in patients with stage IV disease (p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, risk factors for stage IV breast cancer at the time of presentation were found to be age at first live birth and educational level (p=0.003 and p=0.047). Conclusions: Efforts should be made to perform mammography scans, in particular, at regular intervals through national training programs for all women, particularly those with family histories of breast and other types of cancer, and to establish early diagnosis of BC long before it proceeds to stage IV. Additionally, women's education had better be upgraded. In order to make women aware of BC, national education-programmes must be organised.

  • As the result of a survey conducted by the author on the status of tile 12 educational institutions for mentally retarded children in Korea and their quartering facilities as well as on 934 children accommodated in such institutions, the following conclusion has been reached: 1) More than a half (approximately 58 percent) of the facilities for mentally retarded children are concentrated in Seoul. About eighty-three percent of these facilities are private establishments, of which 70 percent have their proprietors concurrently as their superintendents. Although these facilities were first established as many as 22 years ago, it has been only five or six years since education was actually started for mentally restarted children. 2) Out of a total of 179 employes, teachers number 99, there by constituting approximately 57.6 percent. Out of them, however, only 32 teachers or 2.8 percent have special teachers licenses. Thus, each teachers has to take care of an average of 29 children. This is excessive a number of children per teachers in view of the special nature of this education, there by indication how urgent it would be to secure more teachers lot this field. 3) Out of the mantally retarded children investigated 57.6 percent suffer from physical disorder in addition to mental retardation, 53.0 percent from mental alienation illnesses besides retardation, and 25 pent from physical, mental disorders in addition to retardation. It is therefore necessary to maintain medical and nursing facilities together with educational facilities. however, two places have no medical facilities at all, and four other places, without medical personnel, have to receive medical support from nearby hospitals or clinics. 4) The total number of children in the surveyed facilities is 934, who can be broken down into 58.7 percent boys and 41.3 percent for girls. They are classified into 12.5 percent for idiot, 37.7 percent for imbeciles, 32.7 percent for morons, and 17.3 percent for thoes children on borderline. Their average age is 13.9 years. 5) As the result of education, the illiteracy rate of mentally retarded children has decreased from 78.1 percent to 32.1 percent while the percentage of those taking the primary school course has increased for 12.2 per cent to 33.5 percent. As a result, it has been learned that education is definitely necessary for Retarded children though it may be a difficult task. 6) The children who have mentally retarded children among their brothers or sisters constitute 6.3 percent of the total number. The corresponding rate for boys is 3.5 percent while that for girls is a remarkably higher rate 10.6 percent. Through studies on the causes of their mental retardation, it has been learned that 39.6 percent of them is of the inherent type and 35.3 percent is of the environmental type. Control and improvement of health of mothers and children, early diagnosis and early treatment are believed to be very important because they could prevent or alleviant much of these conditions. 7) The storage age of teachers and employes is 35.3 years, an indication that a great proportion of them is experienced in a way or another as their major difficulty or problems in serving with these special school, 22.5 percent cited inadequate payment 24.5 gave the inadequate public understanding, and 22.5 percent pointed out the lack of understanding on the part of give parents.
