Using data from the 2001 National Long-Term Care Survey database, this study analyzed gender differences in factors affecting caregiver burdens of spouse caregivers in Korea. Multiple regression was used to estimate factors influencing caregiver burdens of caregiving wives and caregiving husbands respectively. The results showed that there was a significant variability in predictors of caregiver burdens of spouses who take care of the impaired elderly. ADL functional status of care recipients and social support were significant for both the caregiving wives model and caregiving husbands model in influencing caregiving burdens. It was noticeable to report that a caregiver's self-rated health status, monthly caregiving expenses, a care recipient's self-rated health status were unique predictors for the caregiving wives model. These findings suggest that it is vital for planners and providers to take gender differences in spousal caregiving into account when designing and formulating community-based long-term care service programs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the techniques used by long jumpers who recorded over 8meters in 2002 Busan Asian Game and 2003 Daegu Universiade. The kinematic characteristics from the last three stride to takeoff at the takeoff board were analyzed such as velocities, heights and angles. The real-life three-dimensional coordinates of 20 body landmarks during each trial were collected using a Direct Linear Transformation procedure. The conclusion were as follows; 1. The height variation who recorded over 8 meters of center of gravity of the jumpers at the last stride was under 8cm. In order to record over 8meters the national long jumpers should have under 10cm height variation. 2. In the approach phase the horizontal velocity of the jumpers should reach to 10.5m/s in last three strides and 9.79m/s in touch down at take off board. 3. The horizontal velocity at take off board must have over 8.51m/s and the vertical velocity must have 3.75m/s simultaneously in order to record 8meters. 4. The forward body lean angle should have over 20degrees with pushing the take off board in forwarding movement. The appropriate body variation range ratio between take off and touch down should be 1.2 vs 1 and the trunk angle at touch down on the board should be close to the erect posture for higher body flight.

The long jump motions of 8 finalists in the women's long jump at the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011 were analyzed, and the kinematic characteristics of their techniques were investigated. The kinematic characteristics of the long jump motion of the 8 finalists were as follows. In the run-up phase, the length of the 2 stride was $108{\pm}6.92%$ that of the 3 stride. The length of the 1 stride was $91{\pm}5.78%$ that of the 2 stride. The change in the height of the center of gravity was $0.07{\pm}0.03$ m. The maximum velocity during the run-up phase was $9.44{\pm}0.13$ m at the 1 stride. In the take-off phase, the horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, reduction in horizontal velocity were $7.80{\pm}0.15$ m/s, $2.96{\pm}0.14$ m/s, and $1.64{\pm}0.19$ m/s, respectively. The minimum knee angle and take-off angle were $151{\pm}8.89^{\circ}$ and $20.7{\pm}1.03^{\circ}$, respectively. In the flight phase, the flight time and maximum height of the center of gravity were $0.78{\pm}0.03$ s, and $1.60{\pm}0.05$ m, respectively. In the landing phase, the landing length was $0.50{\pm}0.07$ m. The trunk angle, knee angle, and hip angle were $74{\pm}18.75^{\circ}$, $131{\pm}10.45^{\circ}$, and $82{\pm}9.03^{\circ}$, respectively. The kinematic characteristics of the motion of a good long jump were as follows. The reduction in the horizontal velocity in the take-off phase was minimized, and the maximum velocity of the run-up was maintained. The vertical velocity in the take-off phase was increased using a rapidly extended knee and high center of gravity.

There are some similar phonological properties shared by different languages. The phenomenon of vowel length is just one of them which shows distinctive futures. In some languages long vowels serve to differentiate meanings. In that case the phonological context it creates is important and so it has to be incorporated into the phonemic inventory of the language, otherwise there will be misunderstanding. In this paper I will try to explain the Turkish vowel system as well as the Korean, and then to show how long vowels take their forms in Turkish and Korean.

According to current RRC procedures, network does not know either how long it will take the RRC reconfiguration message (such as Physical Channel Reconfiguration (PCR)/Transport Channel Reconfiguration (TCR)/Radio Bearer Reconfiguration (RBR)) to be transmitted over the source cell or how long the UE will take to reconfigure on receiving the message, it has to assume the worst-case. Thus, it typically indicates a conservative activation time, leading to potentially large interruption for voice traffic, particularly if the source cell signal strength has degraded. This proposals allow the UE to receive the serving cell related information (carried today in PCR/RBR/TCR message) in an Active Set Update message.

This study is designed as pilot study to report the efficacy and safety of long term medication of Oncheongeum-gamibang on atopic dermatitis. The patient of atopic dermatitis was asked to take Oncheongeum-gamibang for 3 months. Every end of month, he had gotten hematological test and SCORAD Index examination. After the clinical trial was done, he had additional examination to see the changes and duration of medicinal effect. During the period of taking Onchung-um, estimation of symptoms by SCORAD Index examination showed little bit of improvement while taking medicine and after one month, the improvement was maintained. There were no significant changes in hematologic test and liver function test during and at the end of the clinical trial. We were able to find out that it is effective and safe to take long term medication of Oncheongeum-gamibang for an individual. However, due to deficiency of the cases and immunological values, there will be additional study to make up for better result.
