This study sought to compare intake levels of major dish items and food groups between normal and obese Korean children in order to understand obesity-related eating behaviors. The study was also conducted to apply the information on the differences in major dish items and food groups found in this study to development of a brief food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for children's obesity-related eating behaviors. Finally, the developed FFQ was evaluated for reliability. A total of 290, 24-hour dietary recall data from 9-11 year-old normal or obese participants in the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were reviewed to identity dish items and food groups showing outstanding differences between the normal and obese groups. Based on the level of intake amount between the two groups, a total of 7 items, including ddeokbokggi, spaghetti, ham roast, pork cutlet, dairy products & ices, kimchi, and fruits, were selected to be included in the FFQ. The former 5 items were seen to be consumed more in the obese group, while the latter 2 items were so in the normal group. The questionnaire was formatted into a frequency response section of a seven-category option and reference period of the last 7 days. Test-retest reliability of the developed FFQ was examined by administering it to 153, 9-11 year-old children at a public elementary school in Seoul twice at a month interval. The level of reliability was found to be reasonably high. In conclusion, this study suggests that high consumption of several high-calorie dish items and low consumption of kimchi and fruits may be important eating behaviors in relation to obesity risk among 9-11 year-old children who need nutrition educators' attention. The current study also implies that a simple FFQ can be utilized to reliably assess 9-11 year-old children's diets.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Given the increasing proportion of the Korean population that is aged 65 years and older, the present study analyzed the relationship between diet quality and sarcopenia in elderly persons by using data from the 2008-2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). SUBJECTS/METHODS: Data for 3,373 persons aged 65 years and over (men: 1,455, 43.1%) were selected from the 2008-2011 KNHANES. Sarcopenia assessments are based on a formula that divides a subject's appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) by their weight (wt) and multiplies that result by 100 ([ASM/wt] × 100). Sarcopenia is present if the subject's result was less than one standard deviation (SD) below the sex-specific mean for a young reference group. For evaluation of diet quality, data obtained via the 24-hour recall method were used to calculate the Diet Quality Index for Koreans (DQI-K). A general linear model was applied in order to analyze general information and nutritional intake according to sarcopenia status. For analysis of the relationship between diet quality and sarcopenia, a binominal logistic regression analysis was undertaken. RESULTS: The sarcopenia prevalence rate among the study subjects aged 65 years and over was 37.6%. The DQI-K of those without sarcopenia was 3.33 ± 0.04 points, while that of those with sarcopenia was 3.45 ± 0.04 points (P < 0.05). The relationship between diet quality and sarcopenia revealed that subjects aged 75 and older had a poor diet quality, and their odds ratio (OR) of sarcopenia presence was significantly higher (OR: 1.807, 95% confidence interval: 1.003-3.254, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that poor diet quality was related to sarcopenia presence in Koreans aged 75 and older. In order to improve the diet quality of the elderly (aged 75 and older), it is necessary to develop dietary improvement guidelines.

이동 객체(moving objects)의 궤적(trajectories)은 내용 기반 비디오 검색을 위해 비디오의 내용이나 의미를 색인하는 데 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비디오 데이터가 지니는 이동 객체의 궤적(moving objects' trajectories)에 대한 효율적인 검색을 위해 k-워핑(k-warping) 알고리즘에 기반한 유사 부분궤적 검색(similar sub-trajectory retrieval) 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 궤적을 구성하는 움직임 요소 모두에 대해서 고정된 값(k)만큼까지의 반복을 허용하는 고정 반복 유사 부분궤적 검색(Fixed-Replication similar Sub-trajectory Retrieval: VRSR)과 움직임 요소 각각에 대해서 서로 다른 값으로 할당하고 그 값만큼까지의 반복을 허용하는 가변 반복 유사 부분궤적 검색(Variable-Replication similar Sub-trajectory Retrieval: VRSR) 방법이다. 제안하는 방법은 이동 객체의 궤적을 모델링하기 위해 주로 사용되는 방향만의 단일 속성(property) 뿐만 아니라, 방향, 거리, 그리고 시간 등을 포함하는 다중 속성(multiple properties)을 지원한다. 마지막으로, 성능 평가를 통해, 제안하는 k-워핑 알고리즘에 기반한 유사 부분궤적 검색 기법이 동등한 재현율을 유지하면서, 기존의 Li의 방법(no-warping)과 Shan의 OCMR방법(infinite-warping)에 비해 정확율 측면에서 좋은 성능을 보인다.

오늘날 이미지, 동영상과 같은 멀티미디어 데이터를 웹 공간에 저장하고 검색할 때, 태그를 이용하는 추세는 보편화되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 태깅된 웹 이미지의 검색에서 태그들의 의미적 중요도를 계산하고, 이를 이용하여 검색 순위를 조정하는 시도를 소개한다. 일반적으로 웹상에 저장된 대부분의 사진 이미지들은 실제로는 중요하지 않지만 사용자의 주관적인 판단으로 추가된 태그들을 다수 포함하고 있으며, 이들은 태그의 단순 비교방식으로 이미지를 검색할 때 정확도를 떨어트리는 주요 원인이 된다. 따라서 어떤 이미지에 붙은 수많은 태그들 중에서 의미적으로 보다 중요한 태그들을 찾아내어 검색에 이용한다면 더욱 만족스러운 검색 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위키피디아 기반의 의미 연관성을 활용하여 검색어 또는 다른 태그들과의 의미 연관성이 높은 태그를 해당 이미지의 대표 태그로 판단하고 이를 이용하여 검색 순위를 조정하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 방대한 온라인 백과사전인 위키피디아를 이용하여 계산된 의미적 연관성을 이용함으로써 기존의 연구에 비해 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Nutritional factors affecting bone mineral density (BMD) in the different age groups of Korean men were investigated to obtain baseline data for maintaining bone health. Information on diet and anthropometry was collected in 80 elementary school children, 83 high school students, 87 adults aged 25 to 35 years and 98 elderly people over 60 years of age. Data for food and nutrient intake were obtained by 24-hour recall method. BMDs of lumbar spine (L$_2$- L$_4$) and femoral neck were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. The relationship between BMD and nutritional factors were analyzed. In the femoral neck, 5.7% of adults was classified as osteopenia and 47.9% and 37.8% of the elderly were classified as osteopenia and osteoporosis. It was shown that plant protein, Ca, p, Fe, thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin C intakes were related with BMD in all age groups. As for the mean adequacy ratio (MAR) of nutrients, the lowest quartile group of BMD showed significantly lower MAR among children. The RDA percent of nutrients was a strong influential factor on BMD. Subjects who consumed below 75% of Korean RDA in energy, vitamin A, thiamin, and vitamin C showed lower BMD. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that MAR in children, vegetable Ca in adolescents, and vitamin C in adults and elderly people were the highest influential factor on BMD. Therefore, the above results demonstrated that not only calcium but also other nutrients such as protein, iron, vitamin A, riboflavin, and vitamin C were necessary in order to keep the healthy bone status. In addition, although there were various dietary factors that influenced bone density, MAR was identified as the major factor that affected bone density. Thus, a balanced diet that includes all nutrients is necessary for a healthy bone density. (Korean J Nutrition 37(2) : 132-142, 2004)

Cervical cancer is the third most common form of cancer that strikes Malaysian women. The National Cancer Registry in 2006 and 2007 reported that the age standardized incidence (ASR) of cervical cancer was 12.2 and 7.8 per 100,000 women, respectively. The cumulative risk of developing cervical cancer for a Malaysian woman is 0.9 for 74 years. Among all ethnic groups, the Chinese experienced the highest incidence rate in 2006, followed by Indians and Malays. The percentage cervical cancer detected at stage I and II was 55% (stage I: 21.0%, stage II: 34.0%, stage III: 26.0% and stage IV: 19.0%). Data from Ministry of Health Malaysia (2006) showed a 58.9% estimated coverage of pap smear screening conducted among those aged 30-49 years. Only a small percentage of women aged 50-59 and 50-65 years old were screened, 14% and 13.8% coverage, respectively. Incidence of cervical cancer was highest (71.6%) among those in the 60-65 age group (MOH, 2003). Currently, there is no organized population-based screening program available for the whole of Malaysia. A pilot project was initiated in 2006, to move from opportunistic cervical screening of women who attend antenatal and postnatal visits to a population based approach to be able to monitor the women through the screening pathway and encourage women at highest risk to be screened. The project was modelled on the screening program in Australia with some modifications to suit the Malaysian setting. Substantial challenges have been identified, particularly in relation to information systems for call and recall of women, as well as laboratory reporting and quality assurance. A cost-effective locally-specific approach to organized screening, that will provide the infrastructure for increasing participation in the cervical cancer screening program, is urgently required.

n accordance with the National Health Promotion Act of 1995, newly designed National Health and Nutrition Survey was carried out in winter of 1998. Although this survey amended most of the problems noted in previous Nutrition Surveys, it still had a limitation in reflecting seasonal variation in food intake due to the survey period which was confined to November and December. In order to counterbalance this limitation and estimate the yearly food intake of Korean population, three seasonal nutrition surveys were taken place in spring, summer, and fall of 1999. Seasonal Nutritional survey targeted 15 households each in 60 nationwide primary sampling units(PSUS) which were part of 200 PSUS of 1998 National Health and Nutrition Survey. Therefore, total of 2,700 households were surveyed in 3 seasons. The interviewers visited each household members and carried out face to face interview on household. Daily food intake was monitored using 24 hour recall method. According to the survey results, fruits, beverage and alcohol intake showed large variation with season while processed foods showed almost no variation. And intake of vegetables and fruits were influenced by their own harvesting time and had impact on the list of foods consumed most. With the result of the 1998 NHNS, this study made it possible to estimate the yearly average food intake of Korean population. The result of this survey is expected to be used in planning food supply and setting tolerance level of contaminants of each foods at the government level.

내용기반 영상 검색에서는 컬러, 형태, 질감의 세 가지 대표적인 영상 특징들이 주로 사용된다. 한 가지 특징만을 사용하는 검색 방법은 영상의 내용이 복잡하거나 비교대상이 되는 영상의 수가 많아질수록 좋은 성능을 보이지 못한다. 그래서 여러 가지 영상 특징들을 결합한 방법들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 여러 특징들을 결합해서 사용하는 검색 시스템이라 할지라도 각 특징들에 대한 가중치가 적합하게 부여되지 않으면 검색되는 결과 영상들의 순위가 크게 변하여 검색 성능이 떨어지게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 여러 영상 특징들이 결합해서 사용될 때 각 특징에 대한 가중치를 자동적으로 부여해서 검색 성능을 개선하고자 한다. 제안한 방법을 992개의 테스트 영상들로 구성된 데이터 베이스에서 실험을 하고 다양한 성능평가 방법을 통해 그 타당성을 확인하였으며 제안한 방법을 고정가중치 부여를 이용한 방법과 비교하여 검색 성능이 개선됨을 볼 수 있었다.
