This experimental research explores the effect of the movie that can be classified as non-news media on viewers' political and social attitude on the theoretical basis of priming effect, focused on the movie 'cart' that deals with non-regular workers' labor movement. For this experimental research, one group of subjects composed of university students were exposed to movie 'cart', and the other not to the movie. After watching a movie, each group of subjects responded to questions that are designed to measure the seriousness of non-regular workers' problem, the necessity of labor movement, support of opposition party, support of the current government. This research found that subjects exposed to the movie 'cart' consider non-regular workers' problem more serious and supports opposition party more positively than subjects not exposed to movie 'cart.' However hypotheses that expected the positive support of treated subjects on labor union and less positive support of treated subjects on current government were rejected.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the smoking type among those who have used regular cigarettes, liquid or cigarette-type e-cigarettes. Methods: The subjects of analysis were 6,081 people who had smoked regular cigarettes or e-cigarettes. For data analysis, SPSS ver.25.0 statistical package program was used. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the factors affecting smoking type. Results: Factors affecting the experience of using e-cigarettes compared to regular cigarette smoking are gender and class. Academic performance, living with family members, drinking experience, and secondhand smoke in school. The factors influencing dual use compared to regular cigarette smoking were gender, class, academic performance, economic status, living with family, drinking experience, and experience of secondhand smoke in school. Smoking cessation attempts had an effect on dual use compared to regular cigarette smoking. Conclusion: Smoking cessation experience had a greater effect on e-cigarette use than regular cigarette smoking.

The purposes of this study were to determine health consciousness and eating habits of dining business owners from Seongnam city. To figure out their health levels, this study focused on quality of sleep, current state of health, health care, smoking, drinking, regular exercise, working hours, dietary behavior pattern, dietary habits, and food intakes patterns. Out of 200 subjects, 104 (52.0%) were males and 96 (48.0%) were females. Their average age was 46.60. For education level, a majority of males graduated from college, whereas a majority of females graduated from high school. Average combined ratios of overweight and obese were 62.5% for males and 25% for females. A majority worked less than 3 years in the dining business area, but 37% of subjects worked more than 10 years. Average health level was favorable, but 38.9% of subjects had hypertension. Males' percentages for smoking and drinking were higher than those of females. Regular physical activity was high, but regular exercise rate was low. Males' average eating speed was faster than that of females and had low scores for desirable eating habits. The study shows that local business owners need to take care of their health.

Purpose: Hypertension tends to increase after the age of 65. Proper hypertension management requires physical activities such as habitual activities and exercise. However. it is reported that many elders do not have regular physical activities. This study was to identify physical activity patterns and blood pressure according to physical activity in the elderly with hypertension. Methods: This study assessed physical activity frequency, amount, type during the latest one week, and blood pressure and BMI. The subjects were 53 elders aged over 65 years. Collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, $x^2-test$, and logistic regression analysis using SPSS 12.0. Results: It was found that most of the subjects had not been participating in regular physical activities. The most frequent physical activity patterns were walking and home activity at a low or moderate intensity. The elderly who met the normal hypertension and pre-hypertension criteria involved significantly more regular physical activities. Conclusion: This study suggested that regular participation in physical activities should be recommended for elders in order to optimize the state of their blood pressure.

This study was performed in oder to investigate to dietary behavior, perceived stress and their correlations of University students. The number of subjects was 549 and the results of this study are as followed: Only 13.9% of students-20% of male students, 10% of female students-exercise regularly. Regular exercise and health condition had no statistical relationship in this study. 83.9% of subjects had experience of alcohol drinking (19.4% of male students, 7.3% of female students). Many students replied that they drink alcohol 1∼2 times per a week. 24.4% of students-only 2.6% of female students-were smoking and great number of smokers were drinking also. The BMI of 46.7% of subjects were in normal range. 48.2% were in under weighted and 5.1% were in over weighted or obesity. The stress factor of University students were analyzed into 12. Inner stress factors like as identity, coursework, friendship, health problem were more potent in female students than male. Among the health related habits, disease itself had a great effect on many stress factors but regular exercise had a little.

This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of obesity and the concerns with omega 3 fatty acid intakes in 100 men do regular exercising. Most subjects were 23~66 years old whose average height and weight were 170.0$\pm$0.5cm and 68.2$\pm$0.8kg, respectively. Prevalence of obesity was 7%, 41% and 41% by criteria of Bioelectrical impedance analysis, Skin fold thickness and Body mass index, respectively. According to this survey, 75% of the subjects prefered vegetable oil to animal fat, 55% of them prefered seaweeds to shellfishes and 76% of them prefered natural foods to processed foods for good health. 61% of the interviewed subjects had the experience of eating perilla oil and 49% of them chose the Mackeral that had contained omega 3 fatty acids. The reason that seaweeds were good for health was rather high vitamin and mineral content than low fat.

In Korea almost all subjects in school teach environmental education. In such situation it is difficult that the environmental subject as a regular stand-alone subject for environmental education establishes its own individuality. In many cases it and the other subjects teach identical contents with the nearly same methods. Such redundancy could make students lose their interest in the topics that were already taught by other subject. And the environmental subject and the other subjects might compete with one another rather than cooperate. To avoid such negative effects we need to partition their roles. For example, the other subjects focus on teaching their own knowledge and skills related to environmental problems. And the environmental subject focuses on encouraging students to possess environmental attitude and to participate in environmental activities. Above all, the environmental subject needs to teach the social nature of environmental problems and the social process through which we make a decision on the problems. It should let students experience highly integrated process of environmental decision. In order to establish the individuality of the environmental subject I discussed its goals and contents. I hope that the related persons in all the subjects start to deeply discuss the partitioning of roles, with open mind, in order to effectively achieve the goal of environmental education in school.

This study aims to investigate how 65 years old and older men's regular exercise can affect their lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, neutrophil, basophil, IgG, IgA, and IgM using meta-analysis of the related data from 8 literatures and 35 case studies which were published from 2002to 2012. The subjects with no regular exercise experience were selected for the analysis regarding the homogeneity of the background characteristics of elderly subjects. In addition, the exercise treatment was about 60 minutes per exercise three times a week for 12 to 24 weeks. Exercise intensity was a moderate aerobic exercise that the subject could endure. Regular exercise of the elderly had a mean effect size of 0.523 after the exercise. This means that immune variables before exercise increase by about 20% after regular exercise. Since regular exercise by the elderly activates the immune system, it has a beneficial effect on health.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the of regular worksite health exercise program participation on related fitness. Subject for study were 34 middle-aged women in Kwangju-city. To achieve this, body composition, cardiopulmonary function, physical fitness of every subjects were measured before and post regular health exercise program participation during 12 week. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Regular health exercise program participation result from improving the body composition, but there is not significant different statistically(p〈.05). 2. Significant differences were observed in the cardiopulmonary function(vital capacity, VO$_2$ max) after regular exercise program during 12 week(p〈.05). 3. Significant differences were observed in the flexibility(sitting trunk flexion), abdominal endurance(sit-ups), power (standing high jump), agility(trunk reaction time) after regular exercise program during 12 week(p〈.05).

This study was aimed to investigate whether abdominal obesity is associated with non-insulin dependednt diabetes. The distribution of body fat patterns was observed in 181 female patients with diabetes, aged 33 to 83 years, living in the Taegu area, Korea. The following anthropometric measuremetns were made on all participants from October 1 to November 25, 1991 : weight, height ; waist and hip circumferences in standing position. The waist hip circumference ratio was used as an index of abdominal obesity. The results were as follows; 1) The mean fasting blood glucose of diabetic subjects was 145$\pm$50.3mg/dl and the mean duration of diabetes was 4.7$\pm$7.5 years. 2) Obese subjects above the ideal body weight body weight of 120% in the investigation are presently 52%, but 63% of subjects were reported to be obese in the past. The mean BMI of the subjects is 24.57$\pm$3.15 and the past mean BMI was 27.13$\pm$3.26. One year after reaching their highest body weight, 47% of the subjects developed diabetes. Two years after reaching their peak body weight, 74% of diabetic subjects developed diabetes. 3) Using the waist-hip circumference ratio, subjects beloing to the upper body obesity(WHR>0.84) were 65.5%. 4) The average daily energy intake did not differ between the obese and non-obese diabetic subjects, whether they were assessed with BMI or with RBW. 5) The average daily energy intake was higher in the upper body obesity subjects than in the lower body obesity subjects. 6) Diabetics withing the regular exercise group had lower fasting blood glucose levels than the non-regular exercise group. Exercise did not effect the RBW, BMI, and WHR. 7) The waist-to-hip circumference ratio correlated significantly in positive with waist-circumference, but did not correlated with hip-circumference. Therefore, WHR may depended on the increased accumulation of abdominal fat in female diabetics. In conclusion, these findings suggest that caloric intake is more associated with abdominal fat accumulation in diabetic women. Blood glucose concentration is independently effected by exercise, and exercise does not affect the WHR. Therefore, control of caloric intake and development of specific exercises to change the WHR seems important for controling diabetes in female subjects.
