This study was conducted to investigate the awareness tendency of the government employees who manage forest roads about problems of forest road use and how to improve them in the future using surveys. The results show there are more silvicultural operations than harvesting operations using forest roads. The main purpose of using forest roads is to transport workers; however, the road will be used more for harvesting operations in the future. The respondents wanted to be accessibility for forest operations within 200 m from road in both present and future. For silvicultural operations 1-ton vehicle is used at present, and 5-ton vehicles are expected to be used in the future. For harvesting operations 5-ton vehicle is used at present, and 10-ton vehicles are will be used in the future. The roadway width is 3 - 4 m at present, but should be 4 - 4.5 m in the future. The longitudinal gradient of roads is 7 - 10% at present, and will be below 10% in the future. The minimum curve radius of roads is 12 - 15 m at present, and will be 15 - 20 m in the future. The results provide basic data for making future forest road policies.

Purpose: In this study, the effect of calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin) desensitizing agent, which is a powder-based system, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate and glutaraldehyde (Gluma desensitizer), which is liquid-based system, on dentinal tubule occlusion was analyzed by scanning electron microscope. The effects of the above two along with one control group were compared to determine the more effective method of sealing the dentinal tubules after initial application. Methods: Twenty specimens were allocated to each of 3 groups: Control, Gluma desensitizer, and NovaMin. Two additional samples were also prepared and treated with Gluma and NovaMin; these samples were longitudinally fractured. The specimens were prepared from extracted sound human premolars and were stored in 10% formalin at room temperature. The teeth were cleaned of gross debris and then sectioned to provide one to two dentin specimens. The dentin specimens were etched with 6% citric acid for 2 minutes and rinsed in distilled water. Control discs were dried, and the test discs were treated with the desensitizing agents as per the manufacturer's instructions. The discs as well as longitudinal sections were later analyzed under the scanning electron microscope. The proportions of completely occluded, partially occluded, and open tubules within each group were calculated. The ratios of completely and partially occluded tubules to the total tubules for all the groups was determined, and the data was statistically analyzed using nonparametric tests and statistical significance was calculated. Results: NovaMin showed more completely occluded tubules ($0.545{\pm}0.051$) while Gluma desensitizer showed more partially occluded tubules ($0.532{\pm}0.075$). The differences among all the groups were statistically significant ($P{\leq}0.05$). Conclusion: Both materials were effective in occluding dentinal tubules but NovaMin appeared more promising in occluding tubules completely after initial application.

본 연구는 장애과정모델을 이론적 토대로 하여 중노년기에 낙상두려움이 위험요인 혹은 악화요인으로써 ADL/IADL장애와 우울증상에 영향을 미치는지를 검증하기 위하여 한국고령화패널조사를 통해 수집된 2차 자료(2006년, 2008년, 2010년)를 이용하여 종단연구모형을 검증하였다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 먼저 낙상두려움은 ADL/IADL장애와 우울증상에 직접적인 영향을 미쳤고, ADL/IADL장애를 통해 우울증상에 영향을 미치는 간접적인 영향 또한 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 낙상두려움이 악화요인으로써 역할을 하는지 살펴본 결과, 중노년기에 신체질환의 경험과 함께 낙상두려움을 가진 경우에는 ADL/IADL장애발생의 위험성이 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 낙상두려움은 장애과정에서 있어서 위험요인이자, 악화요인으로써도 작용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 중노년기의 ADL/IADL장애와 우울증상을 예방하기 위하여 낙상두려움 관련한 적극적인 개입방안 마련이 필요함을 논의하였다.

본 연구는 1993~2003년 기간 중 통계청의 "광공업통계조사보고서"의 원자료에 포함되어 있는 개별 사업체 수준의 패널자료를 이용하여 수입관세의 변화가 우리나라 개별 사업체의 생산성에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하고 있다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 첫째 분석기간 중 우리나라 제조업 전반의 생산성 변화는 산업 내 혹은 산업간 자원이동에 기인했다기보다는 개별 사업체 내부의 생산성 변화에 의해 결정된 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 수입관세장벽이 낮을수록 개별 사업체의 총요소생산성 증가율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 관세 장벽의 철폐를 통한 수입시장의 개방이 국내시장에서의 경쟁을 촉진함으로써 개별 기업으로 하여금 생산 경영의 비효율성을 줄이고 기업의 혁신역량을 배양하는 유인으로 작용한 데 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 셋째, 연도별로는 관세율 인하 후 첫 번째 연도의 생산성 증가율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타나 사업체들이 비교적 짧은 기간 내에 관세 변화에 적응하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 고용의 경우에는 관세율 인하 후 차기연도 내에는 통계적으로 유의한 수준의 고용 변화가 감지되지 않지만, 이후 고용증대효과가 서서히 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구는 남편과 아내의 은퇴가 상호의존적임을 파악한 연구로, 대다수가 비자발적으로 은퇴하는 경향을 고려하여 배우자의 자발적 은퇴와 비자발적 은퇴가 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국고령화연구패널 4차년도 응답자 중 노동경험이 있는 75세 이하의 부부 1,038쌍(2,076명)을 대상으로 프로빗분석과 다변량프로빗분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 아내의 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 배우자의 비자발적 은퇴 역시 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났는데, 60세 미만 집단에서 남편의 비자발적인 은퇴는 아내의 은퇴에 정적 영향을 미치나, 아내의 비자발적인 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아내의 노동시장 지위가 남편에 종속되는 비율이 높고, 아내가 남편에 비하여 배우자의 건강문제로 은퇴하는 비율이 더 높은 기술통계와 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 다뤄지지 않은 부부의 상호의존적 영향을 확인하여, 향후 은퇴 연구와 고령자 노동정책에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Suicide, the fourth leading cause of death in Korea, is a serious national problem. The Korea National Suicide Survey (KNSS) is the result of the first legislation to address this issue, "Article 11 of THE ACT FOR THE PREVENTION OF SUICIDE AND THE CREATION OF A CULTURE OF RESPECT FOR LIFE" (the "Act for the Prevention of Suicide"). To overcome the limitations of previous studies, the KNSS was designed by collaborators from a variety of fields : psychology, epidemiology, social welfare, and psychiatry. The KNSS was composed of four substudies that addressed the multifaceted process involved in suicide-related behavior over time, exploring general attitudes toward suicide and suicidal ideation, suicide planning, suicide attempts, and completed suicides. Study 1 examined the risk factors for suicide based on data regarding completed suicides ; Study 2 adopted the approach of a psychological autopsy ; Study 3 focused on suicide attempters ; and Study 4 explored attitudes toward suicide in the general population. The KNSS was designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of suicide from a longitudinal, multifaceted perspective to serve as a basis for policies aimed at suicide prevention.

This study was to evaluate hospital characteristics as composition of manpower and facilities to the death rate of patient; and to earmark the factors affecting the overall hospital mortality rates. The data utilized were derived from survey material conducted by the Korean Hospital Association on 32 tertiary referral hospitals in Korea between 1986 and 1994. The findings are : 1. Those hospitals having the most capacity per bed had little difference to the mortality rates than the others. 2. Those hospitals having the most daily patients per specialist had significantly higher mortality rates than the others, but the number of daily patients per nurse had little effect on the mortality rates. 3. Those hospitals which had a relatively sufficient number of quality assurance activities revealed a lower mortality, and particularly in case where such effort was directed to the clinicians, the outcome was remarkable. We concluded that the major factor affecting the hospital mortality rates seems to be the number of specialists per number of beds, the degree of quality assurance assessment of the clinicians, the quality assurance activities of each hospital as a whole, and the number of daily patient per specialist. According to the findings of this study, the composition and quality of specialist and adequate quality assurance activities seemed to be the essential for the improvement of hospital care. Therefore, in this regard e proper implementation of policy and support is highly recommended. Due to lack of available research material, the personal characteristics of specialists haven't been considered in this study. However, this longitudinal observation of 32 tertiary referral hospitals over a nine year period has significant merit alone.

Objectives : This study aimed to verify the association between wealth or income level and health status after adjusting for other socio-economic position (SEP) indicators among Korean adults aged 45 and over. Methods : Data were obtained from the 1st wave of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (households: 6,171, persons: 10,254). We used self-rated health status and activities of daily living (ADLs) as dependent variables. Explanatory variables included both net wealth measured by savings, immovables, the other valuated assets and total income including pay, transfer, property and so on. Binary logistic regression was conducted to examine the relationships. Also, in order to determine the relative health inequality across economic groups, we estimated the relative index of inequality (RII). Results : The inequality of health status was evident among various wealth and income groups. The wealthiest group (5th quintile) was much healthier than the poorest group, and this differential increased with age. Likewise, higher income was associated with better health status among the elderly. However, these effects, as measured by the odds ratio and RII, showed that wealth was more important in determining health status of elderly people. Conclusions : This study suggests that economic capability plays a significant role in determining the health status and other health-related problems among the elderly. Particularly, our results show that health status of the aged is related more closely to the individual s wealth than income.

In this study, we applied 10-metric health assessment model, based on the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) during 2006 in the Changwon Stream, which is located in the Changwon city, Gyeongnam province, S. Korea, and then compared with water quality data. The Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) in the Changwon Stream varied from 18 to 38 in the watershed depending on the sampling location and averaged 30.3 (n=6) during the study. Analysis of tolerance guilds showed that the proportion of sensitive species was 13%, but tolerant and intermediate species were 34% and 53%, respectively. Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) averaged 43.3 (range: 65-104, n=6) indicating non-supporting condition, based on the criteria of U.S. EPA (1993). Values of QHEI showed a typical longitudinal decreases from the headwater reach to the downstream location, except for Site 1 with a low QHEI value by artificial habitat by concrete construction. Minimum QHEI was found in Site 4 where fish diversity was minimal. Conductivity increased continuously along the gradients and especially showed abrupt increases in the downstream sites along with turbidity. Stream ecosystem health of IBI matched to the values of QHEI except for S6. Low IBI values in the sites 4 and 5 was considered to be a result of combined effects of chemical pollutions and habitat degradations. Our results support the hypotheses of Plafkin et ai. (1989) that physical habitat quality directly influences the trophic structure and species richness, and is closely associated with IBI values.
