Gasoline prices vary across Korea. Some gas stations charge higher prices, while others charge lower prices. In this paper, we try to find: why gasoline prices differ markedly across regions. We empirically estimate the determinants of gas prices by incorporating supply side factors as well as demand side factors into the empirical model. Empirical results show that both location-specific factors and store-specific factors affect gas prices. Concentration of competing stores, store brands, ownership of gas stations, and self-service availability influence gas prices. In addition, the availability of other customer services such as convenience stores, car wash, and auto repairs affects gas prices.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the attributes of self-help groups, their antecedents and consequences relating to self-help groups. Methods: We used the Walker and Avant (2010) method using the key word "self-help groups" the Korea Education and Research Information Service (www.riss4u.net), Pubmed, CINAHL and ProQuest for articles on this topic published between January 2000 and March 2013 were searched. Ultimately, 64 domestic and 21 foreign papers were selected for in-depth analysis. Results: The attributes of self-help groups are as follows: 1) members share common experiences and are supportive of each other; 2) members set goals for individual change; 3) groups are self-monitoring; 4) groups learn problem-solving processes through voluntary and active participation; and 5) groups are small and meet regularly. The antecedents of self-help groups are as follows: 1) an intervention by an expert; 2) a diagnosis of their illness; 3) motivation to change individuals' state; and 4) educational desire. The consequences of self-help groups are the relief of symptoms, the improvement of physiological parameters and quality of life, the decrease in depression, stress, and anxiety, the improvement of illness-related knowledge and self-help activity, and a change in beliefs. Conclusion: Self-help groups can be used as an intervention strategy to help people with chronic illness manage their own problems.

이 연구의 목적은 한국에서 2011년 3월 9일 부터 2013년 4월 3일 사이에 수행된 스마트케어 비만 관리 시범사업의 효과를 분석하는 것이었다. 연구에 등록된 212명 참여자 중에서 6개월 동안의 스마트케어 서비스 기간이 종료되는 시점까지 자가 체중 측정을 모두 완료한 147명을 최종 분석 대상자로 하였다. 평가를 위한 자가 측정 그룹은 6개월 기간의 월 평균자가 측정 빈도를 균등하게 나누어 3그룹(Low, Middle, High)으로 분류를 하였으며 평가 대상 지표는 스마트케어 시스템으로 전송된 체중과 BMI(Body Mass Index)로 하였다. 체중과 BMI의 월별 평균은 High 그룹이 Middle 과 Low 그룹보다 더 많이 감소하였으며(M5: High>Middle>Low) 통계적으로도 유의하게 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다 (p< 0.05). 결론적으로, 체중과 BMI의 개선 효과 분석은 자가 측정 빈도 수준이 높을 때 더 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Background : The prevalence of the chronic metabolic disease is increasing due to the aging society. Therefore, Korean Society of Health-system Pharmacists (KSHP) has a specialty pharmacist system to improve the professionalism of pharmacists. The purpose of this study is to suggest the difference between specialty pharmacist and non-specialty pharmacist with regards to their knowledge, delivery of information on medication, service provision, and job satisfaction. Methods : An online survey research was conducted for hospital pharmacists. The reliability of the questionnaire items was presented using Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ test. The t-test or ANOVA analysis was used for evaluating differences in continuous variables. Results : A total of 171 pharmacists responded to the questionnaire, and 87.7% of the respondents were aged less than 30 years (76.6%) and four-year graduates (86.0%). Typically, 108 (63.2%) were candidates for the pharmacist's specialty certificate, and the remaining 63 (36.8%) were not enrolled. Considering the field of specialty with overlapping, the total number of certificated patients was 140 (26.3% of the total of 532 in 2016). The results of the reliability analysis of the specific questionnaire showed that the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ value was over 0.78. There was no significant difference in customer directionality between the two groups. However, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) with respect to overall knowledge about the treatment process, drug efficacy, and side effects, information about medicines and adverse drug reactions, and in providing appropriate information to medical staff including patients and physicians. Conclusions : The pharmacist with specialization showed a positive result of self-evaluation of items such as knowledge about drugs, communication of information on medications, and service provision, compared to other pharmacists, and the result was in correlation with the numbers of specialization. There was no difference in job satisfaction related to working environment. Henceforth, it is hypothesized that there is a necessity for continuous improvement in the working environment to suit the purpose of the pharmacy specialist system.

Background & objectives: Life style modification reduces the health risks of young people and improves their health status. Physical activity is known the effective factor to reduce health risks and health problems. This study performed to analyze health promotion behaviors related to physical activity among first-year students of university. Methods: To examine the association with physical activity and health promotion practices, health survey was conducted with 3,806 students who were first-year students in a university by self-reported questionnaire from February 26 to March 10, 2015. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the difference of health promotion behaviors by physical activities. Results: 51.4% of the first-year student was regular exercisers who had practiced on regular walking exercise or regular strength exercise or regular aerobic exercise for a week. 87.8% of students exercised one or more times within the last one week. On the other hand, 12.2% of them did not exercise. In multiple logistic regression models, it remained significantly the difference of regular exercise by gender, subjective health status, sleeping time per one day, BMI, drinking behavior, and eating habit (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Also it remained significantly the difference by physical activity type, such as walking, strengthen, and aerobic exercise (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Conclusion: To help the achievement of academic goal, it should build physical activity policies and comprehensive health promotion programs to reduce health risk factors of university students. Comprehensive university health services and customized program for university students could help to make the best of their health. In future, to enhance physical activity practice, it needs to develop various tailed messages and smart healthcare service using health information technology (IT) on campus.

4차 산업혁명의 대표라고 할 수 있는 자율주행차량의 안전한 운행을 위해서는 센서 기술, 소프트웨어 기술, 차량 기술 등 다양한 기술 조합이 필요하다. 자율주행차량은 차량 내에 탑재된 다양한 센서를 통해서 현재의 위치정보와 주변 상황을 인지하여 운전자에게 의존하지 않고 스스로 판단하고 주행하는 차량이다. 완전자율주행을 위해서는 완벽한 인지기술이 필요하고 정밀도로지도는 차선, 정지선, 신호등, 횡단보도 등에 대한 정보를 정밀하게 제공하고 있기 때문에 자율주행 차량에서 발생하는 인지 오차를 최소화시킬 수 있음으로, 신뢰성 있는 자율주행차량을 위해서는 도로 위 다양한 시설물들의 위치정보를 차량에 입력한 정밀지도 정보가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 정밀도로지도의 정의 및 필요성 국내외 동향을 분석하고 실제 운영되고 있는 대구광역시 자율주행특화지역(수성의료지구, 약 24km)과 세종특별자치시 행복도시(약 33km), 서울대학교 시흥캠퍼스 FMTC(Future Mobility Technical Center) PG(Proving Ground)를 대상으로 국토지리정보원 MMS(Mobile Mapping System) 측량 성과물을 활용하여 정밀도로지도 서비스인 Web GIS 기반 HD(High Definition) Map 프로토타입을 구축하였다. 추후 연구에서는 본 연구에서 구축한 정밀도로지도 서비스를 자율주행차량 및 관제 시스템에 탑재 시켜 실시간 위치검증 및 위치보정 알고리즘의 성능 검증을 진행하고자 한다.
