  • During the Joseon Dynasty, the rituals that were celebrated in the palaces were mainly held inside the palace and in the courtyard of the palace. Mats were spread on the floor of the place where the ritual was held. The mats spread in the Joseon Dynasty rituals divided the space in various ways, and in particular, they were spread in a certain form in the spaces of royal wedding, customs, and court banquet. Mats were the primary physical element that divided the royal ritual space of the Joseon Dynasty, and functioned to elevate the general space to the ritual space. In the ritual space, mats were spread inside the palace, and divided the courtyard of the palace into left and right in a symmetrical form to distinguish the hierarchy of the participants. Mats with special and white patterns were spread in the external ceremonial space and mats with flower and colorful patterns were spread in the internal ceremonial space. This was the subdivision of the Confucianism's male-female division through the mat. The pattern of the mat that divided the space of the royal family elders also meant longevity to reflect the filial thoughts of the Confucianism through the mat. Mats were a physical element for subdividing the royal family and the participants in the hierarchy of the space where the ritual is held, and it also performed a subdividing function between the royal participants. In other words, in the Joseon Dynasty ritual space, mats were temporarily spread while the ritual is being celebrated and functioned to elevate the space to a ritual space. It is confirmed that the fact that the mats were temporarily spread to divide the space into the hierarchies according to the status and were subdivided into colors and patterns to perform the function to reflect the subdivision of the royal family according to Confucianism and the statue of filial piety in the ritual.

  • Old age is often compared as climbing mountains which requires walking out of breath, yet with wider vision. And it is also likened to the estuary where the river flows slowly and broadly into the open sea. Socially, old age has been regarded as a symbol of wisdom and reflection, and elderly people often take the role of sage who leads the community. On the other hand, the dementia, gray hair and wrinkles of old age were sometimes perceived as the decline of intellect and vitality. Especially, in the digital age in which technology makes people more sensitive to physical artificiality, the evaluation of the old age becomes more complex and obscure. In other words, some elderly people can not escape from Confucious convention of the elders first, which causes the denouncement by younger generations. On the other hand, some elderly people are becoming more adaptable to the trend of young people, emerging as the new elderly people. The anti-aging movement, early adaptation of IT, bioengineering regimen also strong for the advanced age. However, as the new elderly people are active in many fields of society, they also face intergenerational conflicts in some areas where remains the overlap between young people and them due to the limited openings in economy and culture. This study is a transdisciplinary research which can be called old age humanities. First of all, this paper looks at the aspects of lifestyles and intergeneration conflicts in old age in four Korean and Western literary works about the old people, and also searches how to improve the quality of the later life of old people, Overall, this paper aims to explore the way the old people can achieve the full life with the help of intergenerational dependency through building aging humanities and new communities for old people.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Probiotics have been suggested as potent modulators of age-related disorders in immunological functions, yet little is known about sex-dependent effects of probiotic supplements. Therefore, we aimed to investigate sex-dependent effects of probiotics on profiles of the gut microbiota and peripheral immune cells in healthy older adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial, healthy elderly individuals ≥ 65 yrs old were administered probiotic capsules (or placebo) for 12 wk. Gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and bioinformatic analyses. Peripheral immune cells were profiled using flow cytometry for lymphocytes (natural killer, B, CD4+ T, and CD8+ T cells), dendritic cells, monocytes, and their subpopulations. RESULTS: Compared with placebo, phylum Firmicutes was significantly reduced in the probiotic group in women, but not in men. At the genus level, sex-specific responses included reductions in the relative abundances of pro-inflammatory gut microbes, including Catabacter and unclassified_Coriobacteriales, and Burkholderia and unclassified Enterobacteriaceae, in men and women, respectively. Peripheral immune cell profiling analysis revealed that in men, probiotics significantly reduced the proportions of dendritic cells and CD14+ CD16- monocytes; however, these effects were not observed in women. In contrast, the proportion of total CD4+ T cells was significantly reduced in women in the probiotic group. Additionally, serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein levels showed a decreasing tendency that were positively associated with changes in gut bacteria, including Catabacter (ρ = 0.678, P < 0.05) and Burkholderia (ρ = 0.673, P < 0.05) in men and women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that probiotic supplementation may reduce the incidence of inflammation-related diseases by regulating the profiles of the gut microbiota and peripheral immune cells in healthy elders in a sex-specific manner.

  • A descriptive correlation study was done to provide a basic data for comprehensive nursing care by analyzing the relationship between spiritual wellbeing, hope and perceived health status of the elderly. 195 respondents who lived at their homes and 148 respondents who lived at the facilities for elders such as nursing homes and elder's rehabilitation centers were selected and their age was over 60 years old. Paloutzian and Ellison(1982)'s spiritual wellbeing scale, Nowotny(1989)'s hope scale and Northern Illinois University's health self rating scale was used. From August 10th to August 25th, 1998, ready made questionnaires were handed out by researcher to those who can fill it out and for those who cannot fill out the questionnaires alone, the researcher read it and finished by interview. This study used Pearson's correlation coefficient for the hypothetic test and the average point and standard deviation of spiritual wellbeing, hope, and perceived health status were checked. To find out the difference between spiritual wellbeing, hope, and perceived health status by general characteristics ANOVA and Tukey test were used. The results are as follows : 1. The mean score for spiritual wellbeing of the elders was 42.27($SD{\pm}9.67$) in a possible range of 20-80. The average point of spiritual wellbeing was 2.11($SD{\pm}0.97$) point to 4 point full marks. The mean score of religious wellbeing was 21.37($SD{\pm}7.02$) and that of existential wellbeing was 20.90($SD{\pm}4.63$) in a possible range of 10 - 40. The average point of religious wellbeing was 2.14($SD{\pm}0.70$)points and existential wellbeing was 2.09($SD{\pm}0.46$) points to 4 point full marks. 2. The mean score for hope was 67.16($SD{\pm}12.28$) in a possible range of 29-116. The average point of hope was 2.31($SD{\pm}0.42$) points to 4 point full marks. 3. The mean score for perceived health status was 8.72($SD{\pm}2.49$) in a possible range of 4-14. 4. In testing the hypothesis concerning the relationship between spiritual wellbeing and hope, there was a statistically positive correlation(r=0.5209, p=0.0001). 5. In testing the hypothesis concerning the relationship between spiritual wellbeing and perceived health status, there was a statistically positive correlation(r=0.1427, p=0.0081). 6. In testing the hypothesis concerning the relationship between hope and perceived health status, there was a statistically positive correlation(r=0.2797, p=0.0001). 7. There were significant differences in spiritual wellbeing according to sex, religion, and present occupation. 8. There were significant differences in hope according to residential places, age, religion, educational level, family status, average monthly pocket money. 9. There were significant differences in perceived health status according to residential places, sex, age, educational level, present occupation and family status. From the above results it can be concluded that: There was a positive correlation between spiritual wellbeing and hope, spiritual wellbeing and perceived health status, hope and perceived health status. When the nurse implicate the nursing intervention which can be promote the spiritual wellbeing and hope, elder's perceived health status also can be improved.

  • 본 연구는 서울 강북 N구의 저소득 재가노인 가정배달급식대상자 45명과 무료 회합급식 이용자 81명 대상으로 건강상태 및 영양소 섭취량을 비교 조사하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 연구대상자의 평균 연령은 남녀 모두 배달급식군(남자 77.3세, 여자 78.5세)이 회합급식군(남자 73.7세, 여자 74.2세)보다 많았으나, 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 체질량 지수 역시 남녀 모두 두 집단간에 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았으나, 남자노인의 경우 배달급식군이 회합급식군보다 낮은 경향을 보였다. 두 집단 모두 학력은 무학 및 초등학교 졸업이 가장 많고, 90% 이상이 임대 아파트에 거주하여 두 집단간에 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 가족형태와 수입도 차이를 보이지 않았다. 생활비 조달방법은 두 집단 모두 정부보조금의 비율이 가장 높았으나, 회합급식군은 자력 또는 자녀의 도움도 23.4%나 차지하였다(p<0.05). 음주, 흡연, 수면시간은 두 집단간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 배달급식군은 거의 운동을 하지 않은 반면 회합급식군은 38.3%가 일주일에 3번 이상 운동을 하였다(p<0.01). 뇌졸중(p<0.01), 호흡기질환(p<0.05) 및 외로움(p<0.05)의 비율은 배달급식 군에서 더 높게 나타났다. ADL과 IADL의 점수는 배달급식군에서 회합급식군보다 매우 낮았으며(p<0.0001), 영양의 균형을 생각하며 식사하는 빈도(p<0.05), 과일(p<0.01), 육 어류(p<0.01), 해조류(p<0.05)의 섭취 빈도와 식습관 점수 (p<0.0001)도 배달급식군에서 낮았다. 배달급식군과 회합급식군 모두 대부분의 영양소 섭취량이 RI 또는 AI 이하였다. 남녀 모두 배달급식군의 열량과 대부분의 열량영양소 섭취량은 회합급식군보다 적은 경향을 보였고 단백질섭취량은 여자노인에서 유의하게 적었으며, 칼슘, 칼륨, 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_1$, 비타민 $B_2$, 비타민 C, 엽산의 섭취 량은 RI 또는 AI의 50%에도 미치지 못하여 회합급식군보다도 매우 불량한 영양섭취상태였다. 특히 여자노인은 회합급식군과의 차이가 남자노인보다 더욱 심각하여 영양상태가 매우 열악하였다. 배달급식군의 영양소 섭취부족 대상자 비율은 무려 42.2%로 회합급식군보다 매우 높았다(p<0.0001). 따라서 배달급식군의 영양소 섭취량은 전반적으로 영양불량의 문제를 지닌 일반노인은 물론 무료회합급식 이용 노인들의 평균섭취량에도 미치지 못하는 매우 저조한 영양상태를 보여 경제력, 육체적 활동 및 건강상태 등이 매우 열악한 이들 집단에 대한 질 좋은 영양서비스의 제공이 국가적 차원에서 시급히 재고되어야 할 것이다. 연구대상자 특히 배달급식 대상자의 경우 모집의 어려움으로 인해 적은 수의 연구대상자의 결과를 보고한 것은 본 연구의 제한점이라 할 수 있다 따라서 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 좀 더 많은 대상자를 대상으로 한 조사 연구가 계속 이루어져 가정배달급식 프로그램의 개선을 위한 유용한 자료로 축적되어야 할 것이다.

  • To investigate the actual conditions of smoking in middle and high school students in Chinan County, I used a sturctured questionnaire for 1,579 students attending twelve middle-high schools from December 1, 1998 to December 20, 1998. I collected and data correlated the using an $SPSS-PC^+$ 1. The smoking rate of middle-high schoo1 students in Chinan County was 17.9%, relatively high. This smoking rate was different according to the gender, grade, religion, and economic situation. In mals, high school students, non-religious, students low income family students, the smoking rate was higher. The smoking rate of high school students was almost the same as the smoking rate of adults, generally higher than that of foreign teenagers. Because the smoking rat of studinets in the third grade of middle school and in the first grade of high School was six times higher, increased education should be conducted during this time in an attempt to curb the sudden increase of the smoking rate. The smoking rate of girl students was 5.0%; this has increased mor than three times from ten years ago. Consequently, counter measures should be taken against the smoking of female students as well as juvenile smoking in general. In addition, the smoking rate of middle-high school students showed interesting differences when correnated with enviornmental factors. Students with low grades, who are not satisfied with school life, who don't have both parents, who have uncaring parents who nare too strict or too arbitary, who have smoking parents, or who have experienced smoking commonly smoked. Therefore, to lower the smoking rate we should improve the school environment, improve a student's interest in school life. And parents or siblings should lead by example and quit smoking at home. Schools should educate students more effectively concerning the harmful effects of smoking and create an accurate understanding of its dancers. From the beginning, we should teach students never ever to touch cigaretts. 2. The surve discovered that most students started out of curiosity, or solicitantion from friends or elders at middle school, and had been smoking one to five cigarettes for more than a year. They obtained cigarettes at stores and most of them have friends who smoke. As a result anti-smoking education should be conducted at elementary schools prior to middle school. More than 95% of the teenagers who smoke had friends who smote and smoked out of curiosity or the recommendation of elders. Thus, we must focus on teenagers who smoke in group, rather than individually. Fuyrthermore, the strict application of the regulation of tobacco sales as well as tobacco cooperation from retailers are needed. While students did not show any mood or academic achievement difference after beginning smoking, 58.1% of the students a health situdation that was worse. Juvenile smoking is more harmful to the juvenile than adult smoking is to the adult. This should be focused on in an anti-smoking campaign. 3. Students who smoke hada more positive attitude toward smoking than students who don't smoke. Students who smoke had a tendency to have a nuetral position and are not concerned about smoking compared to non-smoking students. The survey showed that the great number of students had a nuetral position. Because this nuetrality may increase Juvenile smoking, education that provides an exact understanding of smoking should be performed to build the correct attidude toward smoking. 4. Middle school students smoke when angry, gloomy, anxious, a lone and when they have some problems to solve, on when they feel inconveniened in other wores, they smoke to reliver stress. They also smok due to addiction. Because smoking is not a praetical method to relieve stress, a program which helps to acquire positive relief stress should be provided to help reduce smoking. 5. About 65% of students who smoke want to quit smoking because of health problem, 78% of them have tried mor than once to quit but failed due to weak will power and peer pressure from friends who smoke. Juvenile smoking is group, oriented. Thus, the program that advances less smoking will be the one that focuseds on groups. 6. As for advice to students who want to quit smoking, "persuasion" was used most commonly, followed by a "presentation on how to quit smoking". Another method were severe punishment. About 70% of the students wanted the anti-smoking guide at school. 7. Most students (73.5%) had a position that more anti-smoking education at school is needed. Obriously, then, anti-smoking education at middle-high schools should be reinfoced. Although the education which explains the harmful influence of tobacco is known as an efficient way prevent smoking; it does not influence students who already smoke. Therefore, for students who smoke, multi-dimensional approaches must be attempted that include physical training, phychokogical approache, consultation and discussion, medical chek-ups, audio-visual education technigues, and professonal instructors, in addition, because smoking students have more negative on lukewarm attitude to anti-smoking education anti-smoking education should be conducted through a communicative style by dedicated teachers who care about students. In order to increase the effectiveness of this program.

  • 고령화 시대에 건강을 유지하고 증진시키기 위한 가장 중요한 필수 요건 중 하나는 바로 구강건강이다. 특히 재가노인들의 구강건강 개선은 그들의 삶의 질에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 의치의 위생적인 관리와 깊은 연관관계가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 노인의치의 청결한 관리의 중요성이 강조되고 있음에도 불구하고 시장에 출시된 의치관련 세정제들의 정량적인 성능평가나 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 단백분해효소가 들어있는 의치세정제의 음식물 얼룩 제거성능을 평가하여, 세정제를 이용한 자가 세정방법에 대한 기본 자료와 재가노인들의 구강건강을 위한 효율적인 치료 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 세 가지 종류의 각 단백효소 의치세정제의 음식 얼룩 제거성능에 관한 정량적인 데이터를 확보하기 위하여 한국소비자원이 제시한 시험평가방법과 관련 재료의 시험평가 기준인 ISO 20795가 사용되었다. 총 18개의 시편이 강황성분을 용해한 물에 48시간 담가 변색시킨 후, 각각의 단백효소 의치세정제로 24시간 동안 세정하였다. 세정시킨 의치 시편은 분광광도계를 이용하여 변색 전 의치 시편의 색조 값과 변색 시편을 의치세정제로 세정한 후의 색조 값의 색차를 정량적으로 측정하였다. 실험 값은 one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's test를 통해 분석 되었으며, 각 실험 군들 간의 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 발견하고 C가 A와 B보다 통계적으로 유의한 얼룩제거성능이 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다(p<.05). 모든 실험은 2017년 7월 3일부터 7월 23일까지 총 21일간 진행되었다. 이상과 같은 결과를 통해 노인의치의 적절한 의치관리 법으로 최소한의 손상을 주는 세척방법이 권장되고, 올바른 정보를 제공할 필요가 있으며, 고령화시대에 지속적인 구강보건과 구강건강에 노인의치의 재가 세정작업에 최적화하고자 한다.
