  • Background: The Global Adult Tobacco Survey has 15 key indicators, cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) among daily smokers being one of them. The first wave of GATS in 14 countries indicated that mean CPD use is higher in women than men in India only, which is contrary to the current understanding of tobacco use globally. This study was undertaken to understand the unusual findings for mean CPD use in the GATS-India survey. Materials and Methods: Items B06a and B06b of the GATS India survey questionnaire that collected information on daily consumption of manufactured and rolled cigarettes were analyzed using SPSS software. Exclusive users were identified from these items after excluding the concurrent users of other tobacco products. Cigarette type, exclusive use and gender stratified analyses were made. Consumption of different types of cigarettes among the mixed users of manufactured and rolled cigarettes were correlated. Results: Higher mean number of CPD use among male daily-smokers was observed than their female counterparts in product specific analysis. Mean CPD as per GATS cigarette definition was higher in males than females for exclusive users but a reverse trend was observed in case of non-exclusive users. Use of manufactured cigarettes increased with increase in use of rolled cigarette among the mixed users and around half of these users reported equal CPD frequency for the both types of cigarettes. Conclusions: The anomaly in mean CPD estimate in GATS-India data was due to inclusion of two heterogeneous products to define cigarettes, variation in cigarette product specific user proportions contributing to the average and non-exclusive concurrent use of other tobacco products. The consumption pattern of cigarettes among the mixed users highlights bias in CPD reporting. Definition, analysis and interpretation of 'cigarettes per day' in the GATS India survey need to be improved by redefining cigarettes and making product specific analyses.

  • The purpose of the study was to investigate jean consumption among middle-aged Korean women and the characteristics of consumers as potential jean consumers. The data were collected from the survey of 238 Korean women aged 45 to 64 years old. The respondents prefer outlet store to other retail outlets and wear jeans mainly for travel, grocery shopping, and outing. The main reason for not wearing jeans is body change, which leads to poor fit in abdomen and waist area. The sample was clustered into two groups based on interest in jeans: high-interest and low-interest group. From the examination of group differences, the high-interest group rated conformity/brand reputation, scarcity, and attractiveness of appearance significantly higher compared to the low-interest group among the five clothing benefits pursued. No difference was found in obesity and body satisfaction. Group differences were found in recent purchase, price, number of jeans owned, and frequency of wearing jeans. The results suggest the characteristics of the potential jean market among middle-aged women in Korea. Implications are discussed.

  • Recently, occurrence of alcohol-involved traffic accidents is increasing while all the accidents by violation of law except drunk driving. Traffic accidents by drunk driving has a great external cost. In detecting drunk driving, blood alcohol content Many studies reported close correlation between blood alcohol content and traffic accidents by drunk driving. The risk of traffic accidnet increases exponentially as blood alcohol content increases. To control traffic accidents by drunk driving, decide target population. Heavy drinkers are few and responsible for a small part of the loss while casual drinkers are many and responsible for a large part of the loss. Casual drinkers need to be included in the targer population for the control of traffic accident by drunk driving. Stragegies to reduce the quantity of alcohol consumed, change the pattern of drink, such as frequency of drinking, raise of perceived risk of accident need to be sought.

  • 본 논문은 게이티드 링 발진기를 이용한 UWB(Ultar-wideband) 임펄스 생성기 구조에 관한 내용이다. 기존 구조에서 필요로 하던 수 GHz의 발진기 및 PLL 회로를 게이티드 링 발진기로 대체하여 회로의 복잡도와 전력 낭비를 줄였다. 제안하는 방식은 링 발진기의 Head switch에 인가되는 Enable 신호의 길이를 조정함으로써 필요한 구간에만 발진기를 동작시키고 임펄스를 생성함으로써 출력 없이 쉬는 시간 동안 낭비되는 전력을 줄였다. 그리고 카운터를 통한 Pulse shaping 방법을 통해 사이드 로브의 발생을 억제하고 주파수 대역 변경을 위해 중심 주파수 변경시 대역폭 변화를 막을 수 있었다. 설계된 UWB 임펄스 생성기는 디지털 비트를 조정함으로써 6.0GHz에서 8.8GHz의 중심 주파수를 변경할 수 있으며 또한 사용 대역폭을 약 1.5GHz로 유지할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between drinking, smoking, meat intake, and exercise. The participants were 1,060 males and females who voluntarily responded to the survey by visiting the health promotion booth at the H Festival held in C city in 2014. Research data were collected in interview form using questionnaires on alcohol use, smoking, exercise, and meat intake. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, cross tabulation analysis, multinominal logistic regression after stratification of gender using the SPSS 24 program. The results of the study are as follows: Smokers had a significantly higher frequency of drinking ($x^2=163.33$, p<.001) than non-smokers. Meat intake was high when alcohol use was high ($x^2=35.13$, p<.001). The risk rates for smoking, meat consumption, and exercise related to alcohol use are as follows. The smoking was higher as the frequency of drinking increased. For men, smoking OR(odd ratio) was 6.26 (p=.001) and for women, smoking risk OR was 16.82 (p=.002). Meats intake showed a higher OR as the alcohol use increased. The OR of almost daily ingestion of meat at frequent drinking days was 4.40 (p=.002) for males and 4.52(p=.009) for females. As the frequency of drinking increased, the OR of days of exercise tended to decrease. In men, the OR was 0.36 (p=.003), the lowest in the probability of exercising more than 5 days when drinking high. In the case of women drinking less than once a week, the OR was 0.43 (p=.027), which was the lowest for exercise for 5 days or more. In conclusion, the higher the frequency of drinking, the higher the smoking and meat intake, and the less exercise. If drinking, smoking, and meat intake are high but there is a lack of exercise, a chronic disease can occur and cause premature death unless there is a change in the new health behavior. The results of this study suggest researches to understand the motives related to alcohol abstinence, smoking cessation, dietary control and exercise, and to develop programs.

  • 최근 빈번하게 발생하는 이상기온과 기후변화로 인하여 전력수요의 변동성이 커지고 있으며 기온 영향의 증가와 함께 기온변화에 대한 전력수요의 반응은 비선형성과 비대칭성으로 나타나고 있다. 정부 에너지 정책의 변화와 4차 산업혁명의 전개에 따라 기온 효과를 보다 정확하게 추정하고 예측하는 것은 안정적 전력수급 관리를 위하여 중요한 과제이다. 본 연구는 기온변화에 대한 전력수요의 비선형적 반응에 대하여 부분선형모형을 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 기온변화와 전력수요의 비선형·비대칭적 관계를 측정하기 위하여 Robinson의 double residual 준모수적 추정과 스플라인 추정을 적용하였다. 기상변수와 전력 소비에 대한 시간 단위 고주기 자료를 사용하여 부분선형모형으로 추정한 기온변화와 전력 소비의 관계는 기존 모수적 모형과는 다른 비선형성과 비대칭성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. 부분선형모형을 이용하여 얻은 전력수요에 대한 표본내·표본외 예측은 이차함수 모형과 냉난방도일 모형과 비교하여 우수한 예측력을 보였다. Diebold-Mariano 검정결과, 부분선형모형에서 얻은 예측력 향상은 통계적으로 유의하였다.

  • We assessed the association between frequency of heavy binge drinking and mortality from oropharynx and esophagus cancer after controlling for the total volume of alcohol intake among Korean men. The cohort comprised 2,677 male residents in Kangwha County, aged 55 or older in March 1985, for their upper digestive tract cancer mortality for 20.8 years up to December 31, 2005. For daily binge drinkers versus non-drinkers, the hazard ratios (95% Cls) for mortality were 4.82 (1.36, 17.1) and 6.75 (1.45, 31.4) for oropharyngeal and esophageal cancers, respectively. Even after adjusting for the volume of alcohol intake, we found the hazard ratios for frequency of binge drinking and mortality of oropharyngeal or esophageal cancer to not change appreciably: the hazard ratios were 4.90 (1.00, 27.0) and 7.17 (1.02, 50.6), respectively. For esophageal cancer, there was a strong dose-response relationship. The frequency of heavy binge drinking and not just the volume of alcohol intake may increase the risk of mortality from upper digestive tract cancer, particularly esophageal cancer in Korean men. These findings need to be confirmed in further studies with a larger sample size.

  • 본 논문에서는 저전압 차동 신호(Low-Voltage Differential Signaling, LVDS) 전송방식의 응용을 위한 차동 전송 접속 경로의 분석 및 설계 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 차동 전송 경로 및 저전압 스윙 방법의 발전으로 인해 LVDS 방식은 데이터 통신 분야, 고해상도 디스플레이 분야, 평판 디스플레이 분야에서 매우 적은 소비전력, 개선된 잡음 특성 및 고속 데이터 전송률을 제공한다. 본 논문은 차동 유연성 인쇄회로 보드(flexible printed circuit board, FPCB) 전송선에서 선폭, 선두께 및 선 간격과 같은 전송선 설계 변수들의 최적화 기법을 이용하여 직렬 접속된 전송선에서 발생하는 임피던스 부정합과 신호왜곡을 감소시키기 위해 개선 모델과 새로이 개발된 수식을 제안한다. 이러한 차동 FPCB 전송선의 고주파 특성을 평가하기 위해 주파수 영역에서 전파(full-wave) 전자기 시뮬레이션, 시간영역 시뮬레이션 및 S 파라미터 시뮬레이션을 각각 수행하였다. $17.5{\mu}m$$35{\mu}m$의 전송선의 경우, 전극 폭에서의 약 10% 변화가 차동 임피던스에서의 약 6%와 5.6%의 변화를 각각 보였으나, 전송선 간 간격은 차동 및 특성 임피던스에서의 영향을 주지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 전송선 간격이 증가할수록 상호 인덕턴스 및 커패시턴스가 감소하기 때문에 누화 잡음을 감소시키기 위해 신호 전송선간의 간격을 $180{\mu}m$ 이상 유지 해야함을 확인하였다.

  • 이 연구는 음주 관련 사회적 특성 및 사회적 스트레스가 음주량에 얼마나 영향을 미치는지 파악하고, 음주량 감소와 음주강요를 거절할 수 있는 절주교육방안의 개발에 기초자료로 사용되기 위하여 연구하게 되었다. 2015년 4월 8일부터 4월 9일까지 2일간 대학생 300명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지법을 통하여 일반적 특성과 함께 음주로 인한 사회적 스트레스를 연구의 특성에 맞게 일부 문항 수정을 하였으며, 4점 리커트 척도 10개 문항으로 도구의 신뢰도 Cronbach ${\alpha}=.82$였다. SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 빈도, ${\chi}^2$, 경로 분석 등을 시행하였다. 음주모임 빈도가 많아질수록(B=.206, p<.001), 성별이 여자보다 남자일 경우(B=.169, p<.05), 음주로 인한 사회적 스트레스가 낮을수록(B=-.397, p<.001) 음주량은 증가하였으며, 음주모임 빈도는 성별이 여자보다 남자일 경우(B=.274, p<.01), 월수입이 많아질수록(B=.178, p<.05), 음주로 인한 사회적 스트레스가 낮을수록(B=-.349, p<.01) 높아졌다. 음주량을 낮추고 절주를 실천하기 위해서는 절주하는 문화가 교육이나 홍보를 통해서 자발적으로 형성되지 않는 이상 흡연의 경우와 마찬가지로 음주비용을 대폭 증가시키는 법적인 규제 방안을 시행하여야 한다. 흡연이 좋지 못하다는 것을 보건교육 하듯이 음주가 좋지 못한 상황을 불러올 수 있음을 홍보와 절주교육을 해야 하며, 비음주자에 대한 차별을 없애야 하고, 음주로 인한 스트레스를 해소하려는 문화를 바꾸어 나가야 할 것이다.
