Purpose : This study, as the first year project of setting up a community based management system, was attempted for the cancer patients and their family to improve their quality of life; investigating and managing the cancer patients, educating volunteers and connecting the patients with the volunteers were performed. Method and result : The education of managing cancer patients for the volunteers was done once in lune for 2 days to the 80 volunteers. Questions about education effect, volunteer motivation and so on were made up. The survey showed, generally, education satisfaction level was high and a longer education and an intensive course were needed and was suggested that organizing a volunteer community be needed for the continuous further education and systematic management. As the result, after the public health center and volunteers deliberated, a volunteer community consisting of 4 teams, 28 members was organized, launched in Oct. and operated for the cancer patients and their family. For investigating and enrolling the patients, advertising on a local information paper, recommending of local doctors, publicizing by educating the heads of a subdivision of the city, the heads of a neighborhood association and the people in charge of the related local communities such as women's society, and surveying the community by volunteers were performed and the total, 41 patients were registered. Management of cancer patients was carried out by volunteers in a community and in a nursing school. A regional volunteers' community is composed of 23 members and they have worked 87 times, that is 3.8 times per capita on an average. The content of duties is attending the education (41.1%) the most. A volunteers' community of nursing students composed of 12 members have worked 135 times, that is 11.3 times per capita on an average. The content of duties - consulting with patients and home visiting (37.8 %) were the most and survey for investigating the cancer patients was the second. Conclusion : This study has the meaning that this is the guiding attempt in building a community based management system, and especially the achievement of this study is that a regional society organized a volunteer community for the cancer patients by itself and went into action for the cancer patients and their family. Furthermore, to activate this volunteering, it is necessary to keep managing volunteers and running continuing education or the intensive course of the volunteers. Indeed we should let the patients have good impression on this program through publicity and education for the residents to keep track of more cancer patients. For that, systematic and powerful cooperation of a self-administrative organization is required.

Background: Chronic cough is defined as a cough lasting more than 8 weeks and socio-economic burden of chronic cough is enormous. The characteristics of chronic cough in Korea are not well understood. The Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases (KATRD) published guidelines on cough management in 2014. The current study evaluated the clinical characteristics of chronic cough in Korea and the efficacy of the KATRD guidelines. Methods: This was a multi-center, retrospective observational study conducted in Korea. The participants were over 18 years of age. They had coughs lasting more than 8 weeks. Subjects with current pulmonary diseases, smokers, exsmokers with more than 10 pack-years or who quit within the past 1 year, pregnant women, and users of cough-inducing medications were excluded. Evaluation and management of cough followed the KATRD cough-management guidelines. Results: Participants with chronic cough in Korea showed age in the late forties and cough duration of more than 1 year. Upper airway cough syndrome was the most common cause of cough, followed by cough-variant asthma (CVA). Gastro-esophageal reflux diseases and eosinophilic bronchitis were less frequently observed. Following the KATRD cough-management guidelines, 91.2% of the subjects improved after 4 weeks of treatment. Responders were younger, had a longer duration of cough, and an initial impression of CVA. In univariate and multivariate analyses, an initial impression of CVA was the only factor related to better treatment response. Conclusion: The causes of chronic cough in Korea differed from those reported in other countries. The current Korean guidelines proved efficient for treating Korean patients with chronic cough.

Climatic change of the late-Quaternary period has been record-ed in the loess deposits of the central Great plains and the record of such change is extractable using a number of approaches and parameters. The stratigraphy of loess deposits which have been investigated on Fort Riley exhibits the same sequence of loess units and intercalated buried soils as is found elsewhere in the re-gion but adds detail unique to the reservation Upland late-Qua-ternary composite stratigraphy preserved on the reservation con-sists of the basal Sangamon soil of the Last interglacial(c. 120-110ka), Gilman Canyon Formation(c. >40 -20ka), Peoria loess(c. 20 -10ka) Brady soil(c. 11 -10ka) Bignell loess(c. 9-\ulcornerka). and mod-ern surface soil. Application of magnetic analyses has provided proxy data sets that represent a time series of climatically regulated pedogenesis/weathering and botanical composition. magetic data have yielded an impression of the variation in climate from Sangamon time to the late Holocene through a reconstruction of the history of pedogenesis/weathering. Sangamon soil formation dominated the reservation durin the Last interglacial as indicated by magnetic parameters. During Gil-man Canyon time loess influx was usually sufficiently slow as to permit pedogenesis which appears to have been at a maximum twice during that time. Warm season grasses were important dur-ing soil formation but diminished in importance during the peri-ods of more rapid loess fall which were cooler and perhaps wet-ter. Peoria loess fall a function of the deterioration of climate during the last Glacial Maximum thinly blanketed the reservation with thickest accumulations occurring to the north-west(Bala Cemetery site)proximal to the source region. Long-term surface stability did not apparently occur within Peoria time but short-term stability may be indicaed by the presence of thin weathering zones(incipient soils) in the Peoria loess. Re-gional landscape stability prevailed during the environmental shift at the Pleistocene/Holocene transition resulting in forma-tion of the well expressed Brady soil. One or more weak soils developed in the Bignell loess as it ac-cumulated. A notable feature of the Bignell loess is the appear-ance of the Altithermal dry period: the loess experienced little weathering and was dominated by warm season grasses until the latter of the Holocene.

본 연구는 칸톤학교 아라우가 19세기 전체에 걸쳐 독일의 김나지움 교육 이념 논쟁과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 보였다. 이 논쟁 속에서 아인슈타인이 바이에른에서 정규 과학교육의 혜택을 거의 받지 못했다는 점을 원전 자료 분석을 통해 입증했다. 아인슈타인은 정규교육의 결핍에도 불구하고 일찍부터 독학에 의해 자기 학습을 하는 습관을 가졌고, 이 방식은 평생 유지되었다. 그는 권위주의적이었던 뮌헨의 학교에서는 매우 힘들게 지냈지만, 자유정신과 자율성이 보장되었던 아라우의 민주적 학교에서는 정서적 안정감을 얻을 수 있었다. 아라우는 오랫동안 외지와 자유로운 교류와 프랑스 계몽주의 영향으로 종교적, 지역적, 민족적 차별이 없이 적대적 사상들에 대해 관대한 다문화적 사상을 갖고 있었다. 이로 인해 소규모 공립학교인 칸톤학교는 스위스를 넘어 교사와 학생의 막강한 인적 자원을 확보할 수 있었고, 교육이념 논쟁을 통해 시대정신에 맞는 실용주의와 계몽주의 사상을 선택했다. 이는 김나지움에서 인간교육-인문주의-엘리트 양성을 실시하고, 상공업학교에서는 시민교육-사실주의-시민 양성을 동시에 독립적으로 운영하는 체제로 정착된다. 특히 김나지움은 1835년부터 순수한 신인문주의를 벗어나 자연사와 같은 실물교과를 도입함으로써 양형주의를 선택하게 되었다. 이로써 칸톤학교는 참다운 인간성 교육, 철저한 학문적 교육, 생활 속에서 시민적 삶의 능력을 추구하는 학교가 되었으며, 아인슈타인은 여기서 진정한 민주주의가 실현되고 자신에게 잊을 수 없는 인상은 남긴 교육기관의 모범을 찾게 된다.

최근 들어 세계 각국의 컬처노믹스(Culturenomics) 현상이 국가 브랜드 구축에 있어 중요한 핵심적 가치로 작용하고 있다. 말하자면 지구촌 사람들은 저마다 고유한 미의식을 계승하여 이를 경제적으로 활용할 수 있는 문화 산업이 민족의 정체성을 확립하고 그 존재성을 확고히 할 수 있다고 믿고 있는 것이다. 현재 지구촌의 환경 변화에 따른 언택트(untact) 시대에 현대인들은 인터넷상에서 온라인 마케팅을 통해 그 어느 때보다 쉽고 빠르게 품질 좋은 디자인을 선택할 수 있다. 따라서 기업은 자국의 전통미를 간직한 문화적 소산물을 현대적 조형 디자인으로 재해석하려는 이른바 '문화 브랜딩' 전략을 구축하고 '브랜드 아이덴티티'를 확립해야만 고립된 경제에서 벗어날 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 오랜 전통이 담겨 있는 단청 문양 중 금문(錦紋) 패턴을 현대적 조형 디자인으로 재해석하였다. 즉 한국 전통 문양을 활용한 국가 브랜드의 개발 전략을 제시하려는 게 본 연구의 목적이다. 본 연구자는 그동안 전통 건축의 목 부재를 보호할 목적으로, 그리고 건축의 의장적 성격에 따라 달리 도채(塗彩)되었던 단청 문양을 현대적으로 재조명하고자 하였다. 전통 건축에 채색되는 단청 문양은 궁궐, 사찰, 유교 단청에 따라 문양과 색상을 달리한다. 그 중 금단청에 채색되는 금문(錦紋)은 부처님이 계시는 주불전(主佛殿) 공간을 장엄하기 위한 의장적 요소를 내포하고 있다. 이러한 금문은 과거의 존속이 아니라 현재의 전통성을 이어가는 새로운 매개체라 할 수 있다. 단청의 일부인 금문은 독창적인 구성 방식과 소재, 그리고 장식적인 기법이 뛰어나기 때문에 현대적으로 재해석하기에 적합하다. 또한 동일한 문양이라 할지라도 색상에 따라 시각적으로 달리 해석되는 금문에 내포되어 있는 심미성은 시사하는 바가 크다. 또한 전통 문양은 탐구와 이론적 연구로서의 보전 가치도 중요하지만 이를 현대적 조형 디자인으로 재창조하여 국가 브랜드화하고, 더 나아가 자국민의 자긍심을 높일 수 있는 중요한 수단이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 평면 디자인 과정과 입체적인 조형 방법을 거쳐 전통 문양을 실물처럼 재현하고자 하였다. 과거에 머물러 있는 한국적 조형미가 국가 브랜드 제고에 있어서 중요한 역할을 하기를 기대한다.
