  • 지구촌화가 가속되면서 많은 소비자들에게 해외 체류의 기회는 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 해외체류 경험은 소비자들에게 깊은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 해외체류경험이 소비자들에게 장기적으로는 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 해외체류경험이 소비자에게 미치는 영향과 관련된 변인들과 경험에 따라 나타나는 소비자들의 일반적인 변화와 의복스타일의 변화를 고찰하였다. 연구를 위하여 해외에서 2년 이상 체류하고 귀국한지 1년이 지난 36명의 여성과 21명의 남성을 심층 면접하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 개인적인 특성 이외에도 연령, 체류기간, 체류시 활동, 문화의 차이 등이 장기적인 변화의 유무와 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정체성의 재발견, 다양성의 추구, 확대된 집단의식이 공통적으로 나타난 일반적인 변화였다. 쇼핑과 관련되어서는 주로 여성들에게서 변화가 감지되었는데, 여성들은 자신을 가치를 추구하고 다양한 브랜드와 제품의 지식을 지닌 소비자로 느끼고 있었으며, 자신만의 고유한 스타일을 가지고 시간과 장소, 상황은 물론 주위의 자연 환경과 어울리는 유연한 의복스타일을 강조하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 또한 한국문화의 특이성이 해외체류경험의 영향에 배경 이 된다는 것을 시사하였다.

  • This study measured the body parts of female adults in their 20s, 40s and 60s living in Japan and analyzed and examined the measures by age group in order to provide the basic data required for the somatics study of Koreans living abroad. The subjects were 304 women in their 20s, 40s and 60s born in Japan and living in Osaka at present, and 81 items were measured. The major results of this study are described below. All women in their 20s, 40s and 60s showed significant differences in weight, waist size and abdominal size. The 19 height items of which group were different from the measurements of the women in their 60s. All 20 length items displayed a significant difference by age group. The significant differences by age group were also observed in eight items of 12 width items, 10 items of 13 thickness items and 13 items of 14 girth items except the ankle girth. The weight measurements had a significant difference by age group(${\le}0.05$). The women in their 20s, 40s and 60s revealed almost similar values in the shoulder angles. As a result of the analysis above, the items that were considered being included in the obesity items in all age groups displayed significant personal differences. The women in their 20s had the largest sizes in the length and height items. The older the age, the higher the measures of width and girth items were. Those results helped to estimate the change of figures by torso by age.

  • 본 연구에서는 해외에서 성장기를 보내고 귀국한 대학생의 한국 사회에의 재적응과정에서 문화정체감이 심리사회적 적응에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 서울지역의 4년제 대학교에 재학 중인 귀국대학생 181명(남 61명, 여 121명)과 일반대학생 185명(남 92명, 여 93명)에게 문화적응양상, 정체감, 대학생활적응, 외로움 및 우울을 자기보고 설문을 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 해외에서 5년 이상 거주한 경험이 있는 귀국대학생들은 일반대학생들에 비하여 학업 등 대학생활적응 및 우울수준에서는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 외로움을 더 많이 보고하였다. 귀국대학생들을 한국 및 거주했던 외국문화에의 적응을 기준으로 통합, 동화, 분리, 주변화의 네 가지 적응유형으로 나누어 비교한 결과, 통합과 동화 유형이 주변화 유형에 비하여 대학생활적응 수준이 높았고 우울과 외로움의 수준도 낮았다. 한국과 해외거주국의 문화에서 모두 소외된 주변화 유형은 적응의 전 영역에서 전반적으로 어려움을 경험하는 취약집단으로 나타나 이들에 대한 개입의 필요성이 시사되었다. 본 연구의 제한점과 향후 연구의 방향이 논의되었다.

  • In this research, we examined a total of 681 children(kindergarten, schoolchild, and adolescents) who live in Seoul and Gyoung-gi in 2007. The parents of the respondents seemed to have a normal average body mass index, and the majority of the parents had bachelor's degrees. Across all age groups, most of the fathers were office workers and the mothers were mostly house wives. The most preferred food was meats, and the least preferred food was vegetables. Results showed that all age groups have a snack once or twice a day, except boys from the schoolchild group. All age groups liked ice cream, fruits, and juices in their snacks. For eating-out, boys from the kindergarten group mostly preferred Chinese food, girls from the infant group mostly preferred Korean food. In addition, boys and girls of the schoolchild and adolescent groups mostly preferred Korean food. For cooking methods, the result of preference showed that boys from the kindergarten group preferred roasted meats, and girls from the kindergarten group preferred roasted meats, steamed rib and fish. Both boys and girls in the schoolchild group preferred roast meats, and boys from the adolescent group preferred stir-fry and girls from adolescent group preferred pot stew.

  • A healthy 30-yr-old woman carrying an insect that had been caught in her living room visited the International Clinic at Severance Hospital, Seoul, in December 2007. The insect she brought was identified to be a nymph of a bedbug, Cimex lectularius, and her skin rashes looked typical bedbug's bites. Her apartment was investigated, and a dead body of a bedbug, cast skins, and hatched eggs were found in her rooms and neighbors' rooms in the same building. She was living in that apartment in Seoul for 9 months since she had moved from New Jersey, USA. We assume that the bedbugs were introduced from abroad, since there had been no report on bedbugs in Seoul for more than 2 decades at least. This is a report of a reemergence of the common bedbug, C. lectularius in Seoul, Korea.

  • This paper or article is about bamboo products from Damyang that have been degenerated by the threat of Chinese low-cost products. Comparing the products from Damyang and China, we could point out four problems and come up with solutions. Firstly, we need strong and specific storytelling based on historical facts and various research to boost the bamboo industry. In order to introduce interesting storytelling to the public, it is also necessary to train some good-quality workers. The public would be more familiar with the bamboo products from Damyang than Chinese products. Secondly, technologies used for bamboo products from Damyang are extremely behind the times. Skill shortages for bamboo products caused to create unattractive products to the public for approximately 30 years. Thus, we need to acquire advanced technologies from abroad as well as to develop our own. Thirdly, Even though attractive bamboo products would be produced with advanced technologies, workers in bamboo industry lack knowledge of distribution channels and marketing strategy so that there is no way to introduce their products effectively to the consumers. Therefore, government agencies or marketers should educate workers to help running their business successfully. Finally, bamboo products have been fashion and living items for some specific consumers for the last years. However, we need to create variously new types of bamboo products through the collaboration with a wide range of artists to be widely appealing. In conclusion, it is important to be aware of the problems and solutions above. The 17th Bamboo Expo in Damyang will be a great opportunity to introduce Korean bamboo products in worldwide and develop the bamboo industry.

  • Malaria due to Plasmodium vivax had been known as an indigenous protozoan disease in Korea. However, massive use of insecticides and improvement of sanitation for several decades have led to rapid reduction of malaria incidence, then it was recognized to have been almost eradicated in recent years. However in 1993, one case was reported in Phajoo, Kyungki-do, and then, reported cases have been increasing annually. Recently we encountered one case of malaria in a 3 year old male child living in Dorim-dong, Seoul, who had never been abroad and had no history of transfusion, drug abuse, and travel to endemic area in Korea. He had characteristic fever, chill and splenomegaly and was confirmed as Plasmodium vivax malaria with peripheral blood smear finding. He was successfully treated with hydroxy chloroquine and primaquine. We report this case with brief review of related literature.

  • A convenience samples of Korean-Canadian/American adults who lived in Pacific coast areas, were studied in 2000. Total of 130 adults of 37 ($29\%$) from Vancouver, 45 ($35\%$) from San Jose and 47 ($36\%$) from Los Angeles were analyzed by length of residence, as the shorter residence group resided for less than 20 years and the longer residence group resided for 20 years or more. It was observed that the Korean-Canadians/Americans, who resided there for almost two decades, still kept Korean foods and food-patterns very strongly, even though parents' generation showed less acculturated food patterns than children's generation. In spite of those practices, they gave high values mostly on their dietary acculturation and on educating their children about diets. However the longer residence group showed slightly less positive acculturation attitudes than the shorter one. Therefore the longer abroad seemed to make immigrants more for their children to keep dietary traditions. It is recommended that length of residence should be considered when planning dietary foodservices at nursing care systems for Korean Canadians/Americans.
