당뇨병은 대사질환의 일종으로 고혈당을 특징으로 하며, 고혈당으로 인하여 여러 증상 및 징후와 합병증을 유발하여 삶의 질을 급격히 저하시킨다. 당뇨병의 예방 및 치료를 위해서는 식이, 운동, 약물 처방 등이 있지만 무엇보다도 체계적인 식단 관리가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 체계적인 당뇨병 관리를 위해서 스마트폰 기반의 개인 맞춤형 식단 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 현재 대부분의 당뇨병 환자의 식단 서비스는 영양사나 의사의 주관적인 판단으로 식단을 처방하며 상황 및 개인의 선호도는 반영 되지 않는다. 제안하는 시스템은 당뇨식단을 계절, 날씨, 시간, 선호도에 맞추어 제공한다. 특히, 스마트 폰 서비스로 구현하여 언제 어디서나 장소에 제한받지 않고 사용자에게 레시피 및 개인화된 식단을 제공하며, 사용자의 간단한 조작만으로도 손쉽게 식단 변경이 가능하다.

In the present exploration we identified perception of forest dependent communities in relation to impact of climate change on forest ecosystem in and around Chilapatta reserve forest in northern part of West Bengal, India. Purposive sampling method was used for selection of area and random sampling method was used for selection of respondent. The data collection in this study was through questionnaire based personal in-depth interviews. Almost all the respondents (94%) were farmers and rest had occupation other than farming. Almost all the respondents perceived negative impact of climate change on forest though the level of perception varies from very low to medium (0.23-0.52) based on average perception score after assigning score to individual statements. The level of perception on impact of climate change on forest ecology and forest flora of the community is low and very low as the average perception score is 0.39 and 0.23, respectively while, it is medium (0.52) for forest fauna. Alternately their perception on decreased stream/river flow and quick drying of seasonal streams or water bodies is based on their livelihood experience as they depend on these for their domestic and irrigation water use and fish catch for family diet.
