  • This study investigated whether dietary factors are more influential factor than other health behavior such as drinking, smoking and exercise on abnormal serum cholesterol level inspite of Korean dietary pattern differences compared to Europeans and Americans. A double case control study model has been used for the study design. One model consisted of high blood cholesterol cases and control. the other model consisted of low blood cholesterol cased and controls. 5.398 sedentary male workers who had taken medical examinations at a university hospital were used as the study subjects. Out of the study subjects, 36individuals with high blood cholesterol cases and 30 individuals with low blood cholesterol cases were selected. For the 66 individual control selection, the individual control selection, the individuals matching method was adopted. The food frequency method was used to collect the data for assessment of the dietary factors. A standardized questionnaire was used to investigate other health behavior. logistic regression analysis was employed to measure the relative importance between the factors considered. There were no statistically significant differences observed in nutrients consumption or other health behavior among the low, normal and high blood cholesterol groups, An overmatching effect had been suspected as the cause of those findings. However, the results of logistic regression analysis to identify the factors influencing high serum cholesterol showed that odd ratios of dietary factors such as tocopherol(3.0) and saturated fatty acid(1.6) were higher than I. I of smoking and 1.2 of drinking. Similar results were also observed incases of low serum cholesterol. The above findings imply that although the dietary pattern is quite different from that of Europeans and America, the dietary factor is still a significant factor for abnormal blood cholesterol in Koreans. Therefore, the dietary risk factor identified in high fat consumption populations are still relevant for the relatively healthy Korean as guideline for preventive health practices.

  • This study was performed to estimate the effect of alphacalcidol supplementation or nutrition education on the nutrient intakes, bone mineral density and bone markers in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. The 90 CAPD subjects were randomly assigned to 3 groups (alphacalcidol group: AG, nutrition education group: NG, and control group: CG). Alphacalcidol supplementation($0.5{\mu}g/day$) was carried out for 8 months. Nutrition counseling was performed according to the patient s individual question for the first 6 months and scheduled nutrition education with individual counseling was carried out for the last 2 months. In baseline data. there were no significant differences in age, sex, family number, education years and monthly income except the NG showed significantly less duration of CAPD (p< 0.05) compared to other two groups. After intervention all three groups showed tendency of lower intakes. NG revealed less decrease in protein, especially in animal protein calcium from Ca-P binder, dietary calcium, dietary iron and niacin. NG showed significantly more increase in dry weight (p<0.05) and AG in waist circumference (p<0.001) after intervention. The groups did not show significant differences in the changes of biochemical indices related to bone metabolism. NG revealed more increase in trochanter BMD(p < 0.05) compared to other two groups. It seems that nutrition education is more effective in preventing deterioration or improving the bone and general nutrition status.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing dysmenorrhea in middle school girls and to analyze the differences in dysmenorrhea according to personal factors of the subjects. Methods: This study was conducted from March 22 to April 2, 2010. The subjects of the study were 572 girls who attended three middle schools in Seoul and experienced dysmenorrheal. All were surveyed using the same questionnaire. Data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program and included descriptive statistics, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. Results: 1) The mean age of the subjects was 13.53 years, and the mean age of first menstruation (menarche) was 11.94 years. The number of days between the onset of menstrual cycles was 30.01 days. Most of the respondents had irregular menstrual cycles and menstrual periods lasting 3 to 7 days long. 2) Chief menstrual pains were lower abdominal and back pain. Subjects reported experiencing severe lower abdominal and/or back pain, most commonly on the second day of menstruation. The average score of menstrual discomfort was over 60 points (63%). The average score per 6 points of dysmenorrhea was as follows: fatigue (3.48), sensitivity (3.27), disability of movement (3.27), napping or lying down (2.98), mood swings (2.95), interference with studies (2.87). 3) Individual subject characteristics influencing the onset of dysmenorrhea were as follows: high stress levels, being in poor health, having an irregular diet, being younger and having longer menstrual periods than most other subjects. Conclusion: During puberty, girls with earlier menarche complained of physical and emotional discomfort, and irregular menstrual periods. Therefore, we need to explain overall menstrual characteristics and individual differences in the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, in health education programs.

The result of this study were elucidated as fallow. Food intake of sugar casein standard group and rice casein standard group and Seoul diet pattern group were high, Rice diet group showed low food intake. F.E.R, P.E.R, body weight, organ weight were the similar results. The nitrogen content in various organs were no great difference, but nitrogen metabolism and total nitrogen retention were significant differences. The lipid content in the liver showed no significant differences, but fecal lipid and serum cholesterol showed significant differences. This study showed the glucose content in urine and feces were due to the dietary carbohydrate content. In other word, the results of this study showed no significant differences between sugar casein standard group and rice casein standard group, but significiant differences between standard group and experimental group.

  • Given the extensive role of IS in everyday life and the increasing presence of women in IS users, understanding gender differences in individual technology continuance usage decisions is an important issue. Nevertheless, much of the large body of research on gender differences has just examined mean differences between women and men in terms of abilities, usage habit, and traits. Even though lots of psychology studies have shown that women, more than men, were influenced by affective factors, gender-affection-continuance use linkage has not been examined in the context of on-line shopping services. Therefore, the primary purpose of this paper is to seek to examine gender differences in terms of influence of affective factor in the context of IS continuance use. Meanwhile, IS continuance has been an important subject of study in the IT research area. To date, to explain why and how users are motivated to continue to use on-line shopping services, lots of theory-based research such as expectation-confirmation model (ECM) has been proposed. In particular, various affective factors have been proposed to explain continuance use of on-line shopping services recently. Affective factors have been regarded as essential factors for increasing relational strength and satisfaction. Several affective factors have been studied by prior IS adoption and continuance studies. Among them are enjoyment and anxiety. In IS continuance research, positive affect has been commonly and narrowly conceptualized and measured as the enjoyment which a person derives from using computers. Hence, in this study, we introduced intimacy factor, which was conceptually related to the quality of interactions and relationships in previous research. It also has been regarded as essential factors for strengthening human relationships. As a result, we have observed gender effect while examining intimacy-continuance bond. As expected based on the previous literatures, women seem to be more sensitive in affective factors. The contribution point here is that we find evidence in the context of on-line shopping services.

  • The Study reported here was designed to analyze the prevalence of Dental Caries in the primary teeth of monozygote twins, and to ascertain and compare the intrapair differences with the intrapair differences in control pairs. The prevalence of dental caries in the primary teeth of 40 pairs of presumably monozygote twins, based on phenotypic analysis, was studied. The age range was from 3 to12 years. The control group consisted of pairs that included a twin chosen at random and an unrelated child of the same sex and age, so that for each pair of twins there was a corresponding control pair. The clinical examination was carried out by an operator using an oral mirror and sharp explorers, and with good lighting. 40 pairs of twins were examined with a total of 4,950 primary tooth surfaces (990 primary teeth) and 40 control pairs with a total of 4,935 primary tooth surfaces (987 primary teeth). Five surfaces were considered for each tooth. After the def individual index was determined, the ratio between this index and the number of examined surfaces was established in each case, the cer (Caries experience rate) index. The def and cer averages were determined for the subjects and the controls. All intrapair differences in twin and control groups were compared following the paired sampling method. The following conclusions were made: 1. Intrapair differences in the control group were significantly greater than in twins, when defs, ds, es, fs, and cer were compared. 2. The genotype appeared to be a determining factor in dental caries susceptibility or resistance, although the environment played an important role as well. 3. Intrapair differences in American children were significantly greater than in Korean when defs, es, fs, and cer were compared, but ds was equal.

  • The absolute absorbed dose can be determined according to the measurement conditions ; measurement material, detector, energy and calibration protocols. The purpose of this study is to compare the absolute absorbed dose due to the differences of measurement condition and calibration protocols for photon beams. Dosimetric measurements were performed with a farmer type PTW and NEL ionization chambers in water, solid water, and polystyrene phantoms using 6MV photon beams from Siemens linear accelerator. Measurements were made along the central axis of $10{\times}10cm$ field size for constant target to surface distance of 100cm for water, solid water and polystyrene phantom. Theoretical absorbed dose intercomparisons between TG21 and IAEA protocol were performed for various measurement combinations on phantom, ion chamber, and electrometer. There were no significant differences of absorbed dose value between TG2l and IAEA protocol. The differences between two protocols are within $1\%\;while\;the\;average\;value\;of\;IAEA\;protocol\;was\;0.5\%$ smaller than TG2l protocol. For the purpose of comparison, all the relative absorbed dose were nomalized to NEL ion chamber with Keithley electrometer and water phantom, The average differences are within $1\%,\;but\;individual\;discrepancies\;are\;in\;the\;range\;of\;-2.5\%\;to\;1.2\%$ depending upon the choice of measurement combination. The largest discrepancy of $-25\%$ was observed when NEL ion chamber with Keithley electrometer is used in solid water phantom. The main cause for this discrepancy is due to the use of same parameters of stopping power, absorption coefficient, etc. as used in water phantom. It should be mentioned that the solid water phantom is not recommended for absolute dose calibration as the alternative of water, since absorbed dose show some dependency on phantom material other than water. In conclusion, the trend of variation was not much dependent on calibration protocol. However, It shows that absorbed dose could be affected by phantom material other than water.

  • 이 논문은 중학생의 개인특성에 따른 부모애착 관계와 부모애착이 진로성숙도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 연구대상은 충남 아산에 위치한 00중학교 1-3학년 학생이다. 개인특성은 성, 학년, 성적, 부모의 학력, 경제수준이며, 부모애착은 상호신뢰, 소외, 의사소통 이다. 진로성숙도는 결정성, 목적성, 준비성, 독립성, 확신성으로 분류하였다. 연구결과 개인특성에 따른 부모애착의 관계에서는 성, 성적, 부모학력, 경제수준의 요인에서 모두 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 부모 중에 모의 애착에서 남학생보다는 여학생이 더 높게 나타나 성별의 차이를 보였으며, 성적은 부모 모두에서 부모의 성적이 높을수록 애착이 높게 나타났고, 경제수준은 부모 중에 부에서만 경제수준이 높을수록 애착이 높게 나타났다. 그리고 부모애착이 진로성숙도에 미치는 영향에서, 소외는 부모 중에 부에게서만 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 상호신뢰와 의사소통은 모두 부모 중에 모에서만 정(+)적으로 진로성숙도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 진로성숙도의 하위변인 중 확신성을 뺀 결정성, 목적성, 준비성, 독립성에서 유의미한 결과를 보였다. 결정성은 모의 의사소통이 목적성은 모의 상호신뢰가 유의미한 영향을 주었고 준비성은 부의 상호신뢰와 모의 의사소통에서 독립성은 부의 부(-)적 소외와 모의 정(+)적 상호신뢰가 진로성숙도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 청소년시기 중에 사춘기를 겪는 중학생들의 부모와의 관계 진로성숙에 대한 행동심리를 이해할 수 있는 참고자료가 될 수 있다고 사료된다. 단 특정 지역과 소수의 중학생을 표본으로 진행한 연구라는 한계점이 있다.

  • This study was designed to identify the relationships of role-conflict and role-overload, coping strategies, and stress response of clerical workers. The subjects were 115 clerical workers from two company. The instruments were the role-conflict and role-overload scale developed by Lee(1989), coping scale developed by Latack(1986), and the stress response scale developed by Chang(1993). Analysis of data was done by descriptive statistics, Cronbach's $\alpha$, Pearson correlation coefficietnt, ANOVA. The results of this study were summarized as follows ; 1. The average score for the level of stress response was $83.6({\pm}9.1)$. The high risk stress group was 86.1% of the clerical workers, the latent stress group members was 13.9%, and healthy group was 0%. The overall stress level was very high. 2. Considering the coping strategies by sociodemographic factors, the use of control coping strategies showed significant differences by work-time. The use of symptom management coping strategies showed significant differences by sex, age, married status, year of career, pay, and type of work. The organizational coping strategies showed significant differences by year of education and type of work. 3. The clerical workers who had worked below 44 hours per week complained significantly lower stress response(F=4.942, p<.05). 4. Above 65% of all respondents answered that they needed all of organizational level coping strategies. 5. The role-confilct positively related to escape and organizational level coping strategies(r=.562, r=.495, p<.05). The role-overload didn't related to individual level coping strategies, but positively related to organizational level coping strategies(r=.320, p<.05). 6. The control coping strategies and the escape coping strategies positively related to symptom management, organizational level coping strategies(r=.409, r=.324, r=.316, r=.339, p<.05). 7. The relationship between role-related stress and stress response revealed positive correlation(r=.482, r=.431, p<.05), and the relationship between stress response and control, symptom management coping strategies revealed negative cor-relation(r=-.3204, r=-.3146, p<.05). In conclusion, this study revealed that relationship of role related stress, coping strategies, stress response was statistically significant. The result of this study support that coping strategies vary across situation of stress. Based on survey results, future studies should consider coping strategies in specific stress situation and concept of symptom management coping strategy. Also organizational or training interventions could be developed and initiate to help to increase the use of adaptive coping strategies in light of individual and situational differences.
