  • Purpose: The main purpose of this paper is to assess a body of research evidence that articulates the impact of environment-related factors on behavioral health and quality of life for people with dementia who reside in long-term care facilities. The study also aims at identifying design implications that can be incorporated into design process and design decisions to improve behavioral health and quality of life for people with dementia. Methods: Comprehensive literature review has been conducted to identify empirical studies and that link the design of dementia care facilities to health- and QOL-related outcomes and scrutinized peer-reviewed articles published in many different fields including architecture, psychology, to nursing. Results: The review identified a growing body of literature that articulates environment-related factors that improve health and quality of life for people with dementia living long-term care facilities Implications: The findings of the review can be translated to design decisions to promote psychological and behavioral health and quality of life of people with dementia in long-term care facilities.

  • This study examined the subcomponents of the local environment that have an important influence on the life satisfaction of people living in single-person households and analyzed how the causal relationship between these variables differs between generations. Specifically, the local environment was classified into the following subcomponents: convenience, comfort, safety, healthcare, and neighborhood relationships. This study analyzed the data of 3,260 respondents from single-person households in the 2020 Residents' Quality of Life Survey in Gyeonggi Province. As a result, it was found that the perception of all subcomponents of the local environment had a positive effect on the life satisfaction of people in single-person households. The effect of neighborhood relationships was relatively large compared to other subcomponents. Next, the influencing factors on life satisfaction of people in single-person households showed differences between generations, which were defined by this study as youth (under age 35), middle-aged (35-64), and elderly (65 and older). Convenience and safety for the youth group and neighborhood relationship for the middle-aged group were most important. The elderly group was most affected by healthcare. The proportion of single-person households worldwide, including in Korea, is gradually increasing, and considering this, this study provides important policy implications.

  • 청주지역에서 유통중인 농산물 중 농약의 잔류실태를 조사하고 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 도매시장과 재래시장에서 총 120점의 농산물을 채취하여 GLC와 HPLC 및 GC-MSD를 이용한 다성분동시분석법으로 분석하였다. Procymidone과 penconazole 및 tetraconazole과 같은 3종의 살균제가 양파, 부추, 토마토, 풋고추에서 검출되었다. 도매시장에서 채취한 양파에서 살균제 penconazole이 검출되었으며, 재래시장의 경우는 살균제 procymidone이 부추와 토마토에서, 살균제 tetraconazole이 풋고추에서 검출되어 3.3%의 검출율을 나타내었다. 검출된 농약의 일일섭취추정량(EDI)은 일일섭취허용량(ADI)의 0.1% 미만으로 안전한 것으로 판단되었다.

  • This study evaluated the effects of rehabilitation of existing coal mining spoils on species composition and species diversity. The species composition of most rehabilitated stands differed from that of the reference stands, and thus did not suggest successful rehabilitation. However, stands subjected to restorative treatment many years ago showed higher species diversity than the reference stands and thereby met the goals of rehabilitation. Our results demonstrate that restorative treatments practiced in the past created a heterogeneous ecological space with regard to the surrounding areas. Therefore, even though species diversity increased several years after rehabilitation, this does not indicate that the treatment achieved true rehabilitation success. The treatment did result in temporary stability through increased species diversity, but it could not be described as successful rehabilitation in terms of biological integrity with the surrounding ecosystems.

  • Melanose, caused by Diaporthe citri, is one of severe diseases in citrus, a major economic resource in Jeju island. To reduce the usage amount of organic synthetic fungicide, bio-sulfur was tested as an alternative chemical to control citrus melanose in the present study. Direct antifungal activity of bio-sulfur against D. citri was determined through in vitro experiment using artificial nutrient media. Disease severity of melanose on bio-sulfur pretreated citrus leaves was lower than that on untreated ones. To illustrate the mechanism of disease suppression by bio-sulfur, infection structures were observed with a fluorescent microscope and a scanning electron microscope. In fluorescent microscopic observation, most conidia rarely germinated. In addition, hyphal growth on leaves pretreated with bio-sulfur was inhibited compared to that on untreated ones. In scanning electron microscope images of bio-sulfur pretreated leaves, surfaces of most conidia were shrunk while hyphae were morphologically changed and frequently branched. Such microscopic observations were also found for leaves pretreated with a commercial fungicide Dithianon. These results suggest that bio-sulfur may be used to control citrus melanose as an environment friendly alternative to organic synthetic fungicides

  • Thermal stress of pigs causes decreased feed consumption and weight gain rate, immunosuppression, reproductive disorders, and increased mortality. The concept of the temperature-humidity index (THI) has been widely used to evaluate the degree of thermal stress of pigs. However, use of this concept is strongly restricted for animals living in the enclosed facilities. In this study, Building Energy Simulation (BES) technique was used to realize the energy flow among outside weather conditions, building materials, and animals. Especially, mechanisms of sensible and latent heat generation from pigs according to surrounding air temperature and their weight were designed to accurately evaluate the THI values inside the pig house. The THI values computed by the BES model were compared to those calculated by method of the report (NIAS, 2016), the model of this study predicted the start date of heat stress about 9~76 days earlier compared to the NIAS model. Results of the BES model also showed higher frequencies of the THI above the THI threshold for pigs, indicating that conventional model has a possibility of underestimating the degree of heat stress of pigs.

  • 삶의 질적 풍요로움을 추구하는 21세기에 생활수준이 향상되고 삶에 대한 욕구가 다양해짐에 따라 주거의 질에 관한 관심이 점점 커지고 있다. 삶의 만족도는 주거만족이라고 하는 기본적 욕구가 충족된 생활로 볼 수 있으며 이러한 욕구의 충족으로 삶의 질은 높아질 것이다. 인간은 누구나 사회관계를 맺으며 생활하고, 사회관계는 다양한 측면에서 개인들의 삶의 질에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 이에 중장년층의 주거환경과 사회적 자본의 실태를 알아보고 주거환경과 삶의 만족도와의 관계에서 사회적 자본이 미치는 영향을 실증연구를 통해 밝히고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구는 자료 수집을 위해 중장년층을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 설문지 500부를 배포하여 490부를 수거한 후 결측값이 없는 484부를 SPSS Win Ver. 21.0을 이용하여 실증 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 중장년층의 주거환경이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중장년층의 주거환경과 삶의 만족도 간에 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 분석한 결과 부분적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과에 따라, 향후 중장년층의 보다 만족스러운 삶의 질 향상을 위한 방향과 우리나라 주거정책 수립에 유용한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

  • This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of phosphorus acid (H3PO3) addition to the horticultural bed soil on the initial growth of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv.), and kimchi cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Rupr. cv.). The stem heights of red pepper and cucumber were 46.1% and 23.0% greater in the 50 mg/L of phosphorus acid treatment than the untreated (control). Further, the stem diameter of pepper and cucumber were 48.7% and 23.0% greater in the 50 mg/L of phosphorus acid treatment than the control. In addition, the number of kimchi cabbage leaves was 47.5% greater in the 50 mg/L of phosphorus acid treatment than the control. The dry weights of red pepper, cucumber and kimchi cabbage were 72.9%, 16.5%, and 30.4% heavier in the 50 mg/L than the control, respectively. Cations (K, Ca, and Mg) and total phosphorus (T - P) were quantitatively analyzed for these three horticultural crops. The concentrations of K, Ca, and Mg, and T - P were higher in the 50 mg/L of phosphorus acid than the control, respectively. Based on the results obtained in this study, it appears that treatment of phosphorus acid in horticultural bed soil enhanced the growth of red pepper, cucumber and Kimchi cabbage.
