This study examined the effects of a practical problem based home economics instruction using multiple intelligences teaching and learning methods for the prevention school violence by high school students'. The contents of this study are as follow. 1) Develop the practical problem-based instruction using multiple intelligence and teaching and learning strategies for each protective factor both in teaching method aspects and learning content aspects during the 29-period of lesson plans. 2) Examine the effects of the instruction in the changes of pre- and post- impulsivity and aggression, self-esteem, empathy and attitudes to school violence after implementing home economics lesson plans. 3) Evaluate the instruction. The subjects of this study were 288 first grade students (124 male and 164 female students). The study utilizes a quasi-experimental pre-post design. The effect of the instruction by the paired t-test results showed that the aggression and impulsivity by the learners had been lowered; however, empathy and self-esteem increased; in addition, learners' attitudes toward school violence had changed positively. In conclusion, self-esteem in school as sub-variables of self-esteem increased; however, there was no statistically significant difference.

Purpose: This study explored the influencing factors on suicide-related behaviors (ideation, plans, and attempts) focusing on mental health problems (anxiety, depression, and loneliness) among Korean adolescents. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted with data from the 16th Korean Youth Health Behavior Survey collected from in 2020 by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: After the adjustment of demographic characteristics and health risk behaviors, the influences of mental health problems on suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts showed the anxiety odds ratio (OR) for severe anxiety vs. minimal (OR 4.65, 4.67, and 3.75), depression (OR 4.27, 3.69, and 4.49), loneliness (OR 2.18, 1.96, and 1.96). Health risk behaviors (violence experience, drug use, stress, smoking, and drinking alcohol) and demographic variables (gender, school record, and socioeconomic status) were also significantly associated with suicide-related behaviors. Conclusion: Anxiety, depression, and loneliness were strong predictors of suicide-related behaviors. Early detection of suicide risks through screening for comprehensive mental health problems was recommended. Suicide prevention that considers the risk factors, including mental health problems and other risk factors, needs to be developed and implemented to reduce suicide risks among adolescents.

As the procedure of the close examination of disaster impact at the initial stage of the beginning of development plans, the newly extablished Pre Disaster Impact Assessment Review Deliberation (PDIARD) system which have been introduced through the revision of the Natural Disaster Countermeasure Act-revised at August, 2005 is enforced for the purpose of the disaster prevention which caused during a development projects. From that time down to this day, the PDIARD system have been reviewed about 6,000 cases totally. However, the current the PDIARD system at the uppermost limit in the aspect of every Acts and operational problems is in need of sustaining supplementation at the present situation. To cope with this operational remedy related to the PDIARD system, this study deals in 3 major concerns. First, it is required to fix a criterion in detail because of a wide range of the subject plans of deliberation. Second, there is some ambiguity according to the area or length of the subjected administrative and development plans. So it should be excepted of the targeted plans which has few probability in disaster potential or vulnerability. Finally, the subjected plans need to be added as to the continuous urbanization and industrialization and the enactment or revision of the Acts related. This study focuses on the investigation and analysis to find out the improvement way about the main problem pending of the PDIARD system, consequently suggests a effective remedy and new categories, including future directions and detailed plans for operation.

Background: Postoperative chemoradiotherapy is accepted as standard treatment for stage IB-IV, M0 gastric cancer. Radiotherapy (RT) planning of gastric cancer is important because of the low radiation tolerance of surrounding critical organs. The purpose of this study was to compare the dosimetric aspects of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) treatment plans, with the twin aims of evaluating the adequacy of 2D planning fields on coverage of planning target volume (PTV) and 3D conformal plans for both covering PTV and reducing the normal tissue doses. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients with stage II-IV gastric adenocarcinoma were treated with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy using 3DRT. For each patient, a second 2D treatment plan was generated. The two techniques were compared for target volume coverage and dose to normal tissues using dose volume histogram (DVH) analysis. Results: 3DRT provides more adequate coverage of the target volume. Comparative DVHs for the left kidney and spinal cord demonstrate lower radiation doses with the 3D technique. Conclusions: 3DRT produced better dose distributions and reduced radiation doses to left kidney and spinal cord compared to the 2D technique. For this reason it can be predicted that 3DRT will result in better tumor control and less normal tissue complications.

Background: Epidemiological studies have indicated an increasing incidence of radiation induced secondary cancer (SC) in breast cancer patients after radiotherapy (RT), most commonly in the contra-lateral breast (CLB). The present study was conducted to estimate the SC risk in the CLB following 3D conformal radiotherapy techniques (3DCRT) including wedge field and forward intensity modulated radiotherapy (fIMRT) based on the organ equivalent dose (OED). Material and Methods: RT plans treating the chest wall with conformal wedge field and fIMRT plans were created for 30 breast cancer patients. The risks of radiation induced cancer were estimated for the CLB using dose-response models: a linear model, a linear-plateau model and a bell-shaped model with full dose response accounting for fractionated RT on the basis of OED. Results: The plans were found to be ranked quite differently according to the choice of model; calculations based on a linear dose response model fIMRT predict statistically significant lower risk compared to the enhanced dynamic wedge (EDW) technique (p-0.0089) and a non-significant difference between fIMRT and physical wedge (PW) techniques (p-0.054). The widely used plateau dose response model based estimation showed significantly lower SC risk associated with fIMRT technique compared to both wedge field techniques (fIMRT vs EDW p-0.013, fIMRT vs PW p-0.04). The full dose response model showed a non-significant difference between all three techniques in the view of second CLB cancer. Finally the bell shaped model predicted interestingly that PW is associated with significantly higher risk compared to both fIMRT and EDW techniques (fIMRT vs PW p-0.0003, EDW vs PW p-0.0032). Conclusion: In conclusion, the SC risk estimations of the CLB revealed that there is a clear relation between risk associated with wedge field and fIMRT technique depending on the choice of model selected for risk comparison.

Flat or Multiple Dwelling Houses are relatively vulnerable to crime safety. Crime prevention measures are urgently needed because crime is 2.6 times higher than in real apartments. Through the analysis of domestic and foreign crime prevention design standards, field survey, and interviews with experts, 27 items of crime prevention design criteria for flat or multiple dwelling house were derived, and ten design criteria that should be considered first by the expert AHP were derived. As a result of the pilot evaluation of existing flat or multiple dwelling house, the houses completed after 2015 have relatively high level of crime prevention, but the houses constructed before that are very vulnerable. The policy and system improvement plan based on the analysis result is as follows. First, new housing should be promoted to meet minimum criteria by supplying and educating public officials, architects, and building owners in the short term to provide criteria for flat or multiple dwelling house crime prevention plans. Second, existing housing should be supported with basic crime prevention support projects such as security windows for flat or multiple dwelling house where security of residential environment such as urban renewal policy is poor. Third, the Enforcement Decree of the Building Act shall be revised to make the crime prevention environment design of flat or multiple dwelling house obligatory, and the criteria of flat or multiple dwelling house crime prevention plan should be reflected in the notice of crime prevention building standard.

As the use of advanced quality materials in constructions has been increasing since 1980 with the improvements in the quality of life and economic scale, there has been drastic increase in constructions using stones for the internal and external construction materials. However, the reality is where many problems rise due to improper construction and management of uncertified stones which shorten the expiry date of the stones and act as the factor causing defects in buildings. Such defects not only bring economic losses but also influence consumer choice and act as risk factors to demand expansion of stone market. Therefore, the object of this study lies on proposing plans to prevent personal and economical losses due to repetitive defects by deriving the types of defects generated by process in stone constructions and identify the causes. Also, proposing construction process management plans as the measure for defect prevention, analyzing problems of stone constructions followed by the whole proves of design, construction and maintenance of stones, and solving such problems through appropriate participation of professional consultants depending on situations.
