  • 대한해협의 북동쪽에 위치하는 해저곡에서 채취된 2점의 시추퇴적물에는 장경 약 7cm의 각진 사암편들이 협재 되어 있다. 이 시추퇴적물들의 퇴적상 분석과 사암편내에 포함된 개형충의 동정 등에 의해서 사암편의 기원과 해저곡 퇴적물의 퇴적환경을 해석하고자 한다. 시추퇴적물들은 해저곡의 수심 약 160m의 해저면에서 채취되었는데, 이곳은 천부탄성파 탐사(Chirp)자료에서 표층반사면은 확산되어 길게 연장되어 있으며, 내부반사파가 없거나 확산된 음파 특성을 보이고 있다 이 시추퇴적물들은 사암편들과 조개편들이 협재되는 상부 역질 모래퇴적물과 하부의 생물교란된 뻘퇴적물로 구성되어 있다. 하부의 생물교란된 뻘퇴적물은 내대륙붕 및 대륙사면의 홀로세 뻘퇴적물에 비해서 낮은 함수율(27${\sim}$44%)과 높은 전단응력(19.2${\sim}$>37 kPa)을 가진다. 그리고 뻘퇴적물의 점토함량은 48${\sim}$56%로, 내대륙붕에 발달된 하천 기원의 뻘퇴적물과 구성성분이 거의 유사하다. 시추자료 상부의 역질 모래퇴적물은 평균입도가 2.3${\sim}3.0\;{\phi}$이며, 사암편과 조개편들에 의해서 상향조립화 되어 있다 현재 대륙붕의 팔림세스트(palimpsest) 퇴적물은 대부분 뻘질 모래 또는 모래질 뻘 퇴적물(평균입도: 4.6${\sim}7.6\;{\phi}$ )로 구성되어 있다. 이 자료들에 의해서 시추퇴적물들은 선현세의 저해수면시기에 형성된 고하천과 고해안 퇴적층일 가능성이 크다. 한편 모래 퇴적물 내에 협재된 사암편들은 대부분 석영립과 생물쇄설성 입자로 구성되어 있으며, 탄산염질 니로 구성된 기질과 일부 해록석 입자와 빈 공극들이 관찰된다. 또한 EP-7 시추퇴적물내에 포함된 사암괸에서는 한류성 개형충 종인 Normanicythere sp.와 Kotoracythere sp.가 산출되었는데, 이들은 후기 플라이오세${\sim}$전기 플라이스토세를 지시하는 절멸종이다. 따라서 이 사암편들은 최후빙하기 동안에 해저곡 주변에 노출된 플라이오세-플라이스토세 기반암으로부터 운반된 고해안퇴적층의 일부로 해석된다.

  • 국내에서 개발된 멀칭지에 의한 벼 멀칭이앙재배시 멀칭의 분해, 잡초 발생, 벼의 생육 및 수량을 1996년과 1997년 2년에 걸쳐 검토하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 멀칭 후 15일에 질소 사용량의 25%을 분얼비로 시용한 1996년 실험의 경우 멀칭지가 50% 분해되는데 멀칭지의 종류 및 시비량에 다라 28-50일이 소요되었는데, 습윤지력 증강제를 처리한 멀칭지가 처리하지 않은 멀칭지에 비하여 분해가 늦었으며 또한 질소 18kg/10a시용구 보다 12kg/10a시용구에서 분해가 늦었다. 그러나 기비중점 시비를 하도 분얼비를 생략한 1997년 실험의 경우 50% 분해에 42일 이상 소요되었다. 2. 1996년 실험의 경우 벼 생육 초기에는 종이 멀칭에 의하여 효과적으로 잡초가 방제되었으나 후기에는 여뀌바늘 등이 발생하여 잡초 방제효율이 떨어졌다. 1997년 실험의 경우 무멀칭 잡초 방제구를 포함하여 모든 처리구에서 잡초발생이 미미하여 멀칭지의 잡초 발생 억제 효과를 판단할 수 없었으나 멀칭지의 분해 정도로 판단해 볼 때 잡초방제 효과가 충분히 있을 것으로 생각되었다. 3. 1996년 실험의 경우 무멀칭 잡초 무방제구의 수량은 약 185kg/10a인데 비하여 습윤지력 증강제를 처리한 멀칭지 멀칭구의 경우 질소18kg/10a였다. 1997년 실험의 경우 무멀칭 제초제 처리구와 종이 멀칭구 간의 수량 차이는 없었다. 4. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 종이 멀칭 재배는 멀칭 후에 분얼비를 시용하는 경우 멀칭지의 분해를 촉진하여 후기의 잡초 발생이 다소 우려되나 기비 중점시비를 하고 분얼비를 생략하면 잡초를 효율적으로 방제할 수 있으며 수량 또한 제초제에 의하여 잡초방제를 하는 경우와 차이가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Blood-Letting Therapy is a rational and ecological medical treatment by which we can heal most of the diseases by removing the static blood which precipitates in the blood vessel and blocks the flowing of blood. And the static blood is the generic term for the injurious, bad, dead and precipitated blood which is blocked the capillary vessel. The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine says that "the patient is treated with drugs internally and stone acupuncture externally. "In the old texts, the blood-letting therapy is mentioned as blood-letting, network vessel pricking, bloodletting, pricking, and arousing pulses etc and it is noted down as the method of network vessel pricking in 'On the Application of Needles' of Spiritual Pivot. Nine-pricking therapy, twelve-pricking therapy and five-pricking therapy are recorded in the methods of network vessel pricking and among them, the method of squeezing blood after pricking the affected part is explained as the network vessel pricking. There are four methods of network vessel pricking, pricking, picking, cluster needling and scatter-pricking and they are fluidly applied to the various symptoms of diseases. In 'On Discriminative Treating for Patients of Different Regions' in Elementary Questions, Ki-baek emphasizes "most of the local people, there are black in skin and loose in striate, and their diseases are mostly of carbuncle kind. It is suitable to treat the disease with stone therapy to prick with stone, so the stone therapy is transmitted from the east. "And in 'On the Corresponding Relation Between the Eum and Yang of Man and All Things' in Elementary Questions, when the Emperor asked Ki-Back, he answered "sthenia means the sthenia of evil, and deficiency means the deficiency of healthy energy. When the blood is sthenic, the evil should be discharged by pricking when out letting the blood; deficiency of vital energy is the asthenia of channels and network vessels, so the energy should drain from the channel which is not deficient, to replenish. "And in this case we can use the methods of 'Breaking out the static bloods', 'driving out the static bloods', blood-letting'. With this we can infer that the blood-letting therapy is made use of the important medical treatments from the ancient times. Especially in referring to the principles of treatment in The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, it mostly alluded to acupuncture therapies and only eleven times to medicinal treatments. This is to verify that the blood-letting therapy formed the foundation of the medical art. In Dong's Therapy of Acupuncture-Moxibustion and Bloodletting, Dong Kyeong-Chang gave emphasis on the points that there must be extravasated bloods without exception in the serious illnesses which is old, unnatural, accompanying acute pains and so we can revive our body‘s sprit by circulating 'gi' and static blood piled up in the network vessel, regulating the weakness and strength, and controling the disharmony of the internal organs. The blood-letting therapy has effect on the orifice in emergency, such as fore draining, freeing network vessels, harmonizing gi and blood, relieving pain, dispersing swelling and concretion, sedation, resolving toxin as well as strengthening the heart, relieving itching. So it has distinguished effect on all kinds of medical treatment to the modern people. But by the change of social customs and the confucianism of confucius - it is widely spread on the period of North and South Dynasties, 'Wi' and 'Jin' in china and the period of the Three States in korea - The blood-letting therapy which was regarded as the most important medicinal treatment withered rapidly. And Confucius accentuated the importance of our body and all its members, loyalty and filial piety and banned any damage of our body under no circumstances. As a result of it, the therapy of blood-letting had a rapid decrease and barely kept itself in existence in both countries. What is worse, at the period of Japanese colonial rule of korea and our nation's founding of early stage, it has been withered by the high-handed policy to change Oriental Medicine into modern medical science. So the therapy of blood-letting barely kept itself in existence in some Buddhist temples. Another case, it has handed down as a old-fashioned quick fix in folk remedies. But all kinds of the contamination of heavy metals and the misuses of antibiotics are widely spread nowadays, which increased diseases of adult people and incurable diseases as modern society unavoidably made its way into a highly industrial society. To make us more miserable, the western medical science - the antibiotics and surgical operation medical science - already reveals itself into a limit. The necessity of a new medical science which can give a security to the patients who are suffering from the diseases of adult people and the incurable diseases is especially come into the force nowadays. In view of the results after bibliographically studying on the blood-letting Therapy in Elementary Questions of the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, the blood-letting therapy has acted for the important Oriental medicinal science and has been clarified the prominent effects on the diseases of adult people and the incurable diseases. So it is regarded as an appropriate thing that we lay out a determined theory of the blood-letting therapy and of course prevent the unwanted side effects from inappropriate medicinal treatments, and make full use of clinic by elevating the curative value and that we win back our self-respect of medical treatment which is dominated from the western medical science and ultimately contribute to national medical welfare.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 16-17세기 청주 사족의 동향을 이해하기 위한 사례 연구의 하나로 선행연구와 경주이씨 익제공파 대동보를 중심으로 서계 이득윤(1553-1630)의 생애와 학맥을 살펴보았다. 서계 이득윤은 일찍이 부친 섬계 이잠과 서기, 박지화로 부터 수학 하였으며, 학문의 근본지향을 '위기지학'에 두었다. 그리하여 그는 소학을 특히 강조 하였으며, 소학에 수록된 여씨향약을 보급하여 주자학적 세계를 구현 하려 하였다. 더욱이 부친의 뒤를 이어, 후생을 훈도하는 것을 자기의 책무로 삼아서 청주지역의 교육에 힘썼다. 그리하여 서계는 수기에 힘을 쏟았던 유학자 일 뿐만 아니라 치인, 계도에 있어서도 사회적 책임의식을 다 하였던 실천적 사림으로서 17세기 전반 청주 지역의 재지 사족의 학문에 큰 영향을 끼쳤다. 또한 이득윤은 문인 이덕수와 함께 낭성팔현의 일인으로 청주지역에 기호학파 와 호서사림이 형성 되는데 핵심적 역할을 하였다. 그는 신항서원의 창건에 주역으로서 청주지역의 기호학파가 자리 잡을 수 있는 사회경제적 기반을 마련하였고, 당파를 가리지 않고 사계 김장생 선생의 예학정신을 계승한 기호사림 이다. 자신의 문인 이었던 이덕수가 기호학파의 학맥과 연이 닿을 수 있도록 징검다리가 되었다고 하겠다. 이러한 그의 역할을 통하여 김장생, 송시열로 이어지는 기호학파와 호서사림은 비교적 쉽게 17세기 후반부터 청주지역에 그 기반을 마련하고 세력을 형성 할 수 있었다.

  • 우리나라는 2004년부터 정부의 재정지원 일자리사업의 하나로, 노인일자리사업을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 시행된 지 10여년이 되었고, 내년부터 본격적인 확대를 앞두고 있지만, 정책대안과 방향설정에 대한 논의가 부족하다. 이에 본 연구는 문헌연구를 중심으로 OECD 국가의 적극적 노동시장정책, 특히 직접 일자리창출 정책을 살펴보았다. 그 후 OECD 국가의 고령자 고용지원정책을 검토한 후, OECD 국가 가운데 저소득 고령자를 대상으로 고용지원정책을 실시하는 국가를 유형화한 후 이를 토대로 노인일자리사업의 발전방안을 도출하였다. 연구결과 첫째, OECD 국가의 고령자 고용정책은 연금정책을 제외하면, 노동수요 장벽제거 전략(임금보조, 사회보험료 감면 등)의 비중이 높고, 고령근로자의 고용가능성 강화전략은 상대적으로 크게 다뤄지지 않는다. 그나마도 직접 일자리창출정책은 매우 주변적인 정책으로 나타났다. 둘째, 정책목표와 사회경제적 지표를 기준으로 저소득 고령근로자를 위한 고용지원정책을 유형화하면, 저소득 노인지원형, 조기퇴직 완화형, 완전고용 지원형으로 나눌 수 있다. 우리나라는 저소득 노인지원형 가운데 직접 일자리 창출형에 속한다. 노인빈곤율이 높고, 소득보장제도가 발달하지 않아서 직접일자리사업을 수행하는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 노인일자리사업은 직접 일자리창출사업으로서의 속성을 갖추지 못했다. 사회참여와 소득보충이라는 2가지 정책목표를 추진하고 있지만 이에 적합한 체제를 구축하지 못했다. 따라서 정책목표를 더 명확히 하여, 목표달성에 적합한 사업체계를 구축해야 한다. 노인일자리사업이 일자리로서 위상을 견고히 하고자 한다면 노동시장정책 차원에서 수정해야 하고, 현재 2가지 목표를 모두 유지하고자 한다면, 소득보충과 사회참여를 위해 사업을 이원화하는 것도 고려할 필요가 있다. 혹은 미국의 SCSEP처럼 훈련을 통해 보조금을 받지 않는 일자리로 이행하도록 지원하는 고용서비스 훈련체제로 바꾸는 것도 대안이 될 것이다.

  • 상정(尙淨)은 18세기 중·후반에 활동한 조각승으로, 지금까지 알려진 수조각승 상정의 조상 활동 6건과 그가 조성한 기년 불상 중 마지막 작품으로 발견된 1767년 거창 송계사 <목조여래좌상>을 토대로 상정 불상의 전체적인 작풍을 설정하였다. 상정이 조성한 불상의 공통점은 귀의 생김새, 상·하반신 옷주름, 오른손이 놓인 위치, 하반신 표현 등에 나타나 있었다. 그 중 하반신 표현은 불상 하단에 표현된 연잎 사이로 하반신 옷주름이 흘러내리는 A유형, 연잎과 대좌 표현 없이 하반신에 'S'자형 옷주름만 형성된 B유형, 불신과 대좌를 일체형으로 조성하여 대좌에 표현된 연잎 사이로 하반신 옷주름이 흘러내리는 C유형 등 세 가지 유형으로 구분되는 양상을 확인할 수 있었다. 상정은 그가 유일하게 조각 수업을 받았던 스승 태원(泰元)의 작풍을 충실히 계승하였을 것으로 판단되었다. 이는 서울 봉은사 <목조석가여래삼존좌상 및 나한상> 조성 불사에서 수조각승 태원 아래에서 상정이 3위 조각승(3/12위)으로 참여한 기록과 봉은사 석가상에서 표현된 'S'자형 하반신 옷주름이 상정이 조성한 모든 불·보살상에 반영된 모습을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 상현좌 표현, 보발의 형상 또한 18세기 전반 조각승 진열(進悅)에서 태원을 거쳐 상정에게로 이어졌던 것으로 추정되었다. 상정과 태원 두 조각승의 작풍은 불상에서 나타나는 양감과 측면의 두께, 하반신 옷주름의 요철 강도, 오른쪽 가슴의 옷자락 형태, 귀의 세부적인 표현 등에서 차이점이 발견되었다. 이와 같은 과정을 통해 조각가 개인의 양식을 추출하였고, 상정의 작풍을 갖고 있는 불·보살상 10건 14점에 대해 상정 또는 태원(계) 등 원 조각가를 분류하는 작업을 시도하였다.

  • The International Atomic Energy Agency's Statute in Article III.A.5 allows it“to establish and administer safeguards designed to ensure that special fissionable and other materials, services, equipment, facilities and information made available by the Agency or at its request or under its supervision or control are not used in such a way as to further any military purpose; and to apply safeguards, at the request of the parties, to any bilateral or multilateral arrangement, or at the request of a State, to any of that State's activities in the field of atomic energy”. Safeguards are essentially a technical means of verifying the fulfilment of political obligations undertaken by States and given a legal force in international agreements relating to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The main political objectives are: to assure the international community that States are complying with their non-proliferation and other peaceful undertakings; and to deter (a) the diversion of afeguarded nuclear materials to the production of nuclear explosives or for military purposes and (b) the misuse of safeguarded facilities with the aim of producing unsafeguarded nuclear material. It is clear that no international safeguards system can physically prevent diversion. The IAEA safeguards system is basically a verification measure designed to provide assurance in those cases in which diversion has not occurred. Verification is accomplished by two basic means: material accountancy and containment and surveillance measures. Nuclear material accountancy is the fundamental IAEA safeguards mechanism, while containment and surveillance serve as important complementary measures. Material accountancy refers to a collection of measurements and other determinations which enable the State and the Agency to maintain a current picture of the location and movement of nuclear material into and out of material balance areas, i. e. areas where all material entering or leaving is measurab e. A containment measure is one that is designed by taking advantage of structural characteristics, such as containers, tanks or pipes, etc. To establish the physical integrity of an area or item by preventing the undetected movement of nuclear material or equipment. Such measures involve the application of tamper-indicating or surveillance devices. Surveillance refers to both human and instrumental observation aimed at indicating the movement of nuclear material. The verification process consists of three over-lapping elements: (a) Provision by the State of information such as - design information describing nuclear installations; - accounting reports listing nuclear material inventories, receipts and shipments; - documents amplifying and clarifying reports, as applicable; - notification of international transfers of nuclear material. (b) Collection by the IAEA of information through inspection activities such as - verification of design information - examination of records and repo ts - measurement of nuclear material - examination of containment and surveillance measures - follow-up activities in case of unusual findings. (c) Evaluation of the information provided by the State and of that collected by inspectors to determine the completeness, accuracy and validity of the information provided by the State and to resolve any anomalies and discrepancies. To design an effective verification system, one must identify possible ways and means by which nuclear material could be diverted from peaceful uses, including means to conceal such diversions. These theoretical ways and means, which have become known as diversion strategies, are used as one of the basic inputs for the development of safeguards procedures, equipment and instrumentation. For analysis of implementation strategy purposes, it is assumed that non-compliance cannot be excluded a priori and that consequently there is a low but non-zero probability that a diversion could be attempted in all safeguards ituations. An important element of diversion strategies is the identification of various possible diversion paths; the amount, type and location of nuclear material involved, the physical route and conversion of the material that may take place, rate of removal and concealment methods, as appropriate. With regard to the physical route and conversion of nuclear material the following main categories may be considered: - unreported removal of nuclear material from an installation or during transit - unreported introduction of nuclear material into an installation - unreported transfer of nuclear material from one material balance area to another - unreported production of nuclear material, e. g. enrichment of uranium or production of plutonium - undeclared uses of the material within the installation. With respect to the amount of nuclear material that might be diverted in a given time (the diversion rate), the continuum between the following two limiting cases is cons dered: - one significant quantity or more in a short time, often known as abrupt diversion; and - one significant quantity or more per year, for example, by accumulation of smaller amounts each time to add up to a significant quantity over a period of one year, often called protracted diversion. Concealment methods may include: - restriction of access of inspectors - falsification of records, reports and other material balance areas - replacement of nuclear material, e. g. use of dummy objects - falsification of measurements or of their evaluation - interference with IAEA installed equipment.As a result of diversion and its concealment or other actions, anomalies will occur. All reasonable diversion routes, scenarios/strategies and concealment methods have to be taken into account in designing safeguards implementation strategies so as to provide sufficient opportunities for the IAEA to observe such anomalies. The safeguards approach for each facility will make a different use of these procedures, equipment and instrumentation according to the various diversion strategies which could be applicable to that facility and according to the detection and inspection goals which are applied. Postulated pathways sets of scenarios comprise those elements of diversion strategies which might be carried out at a facility or across a State's fuel cycle with declared or undeclared activities. All such factors, however, contain a degree of fuzziness that need a human judgment to make the ultimate conclusion that all material is being used for peaceful purposes. Safeguards has been traditionally based on verification of declared material and facilities using material accountancy as a fundamental measure. The strength of material accountancy is based on the fact that it allows to detect any diversion independent of the diversion route taken. Material accountancy detects a diversion after it actually happened and thus is powerless to physically prevent it and can only deter by the risk of early detection any contemplation by State authorities to carry out a diversion. Recently the IAEA has been faced with new challenges. To deal with these, various measures are being reconsidered to strengthen the safeguards system such as enhanced assessment of the completeness of the State's initial declaration of nuclear material and installations under its jurisdiction enhanced monitoring and analysis of open information and analysis of open information that may indicate inconsistencies with the State's safeguards obligations. Precise information vital for such enhanced assessments and analyses is normally not available or, if available, difficult and expensive collection of information would be necessary. Above all, realistic appraisal of truth needs sound human judgment.

  • I. Introduction Since the 1970's drug abuse among young people has increasingly become a social problem in Korea. In the 1980's, drug abuse, especially glue sniffing, has become the cause of many unfortunated incidents resulting in harm to others as well as the abusers themselves. Taking into consideration of the seriousness of this problem, the Republic of Korea National Red Cross initiated a nation-wide research programme, to understand the present situation and to raise the level of public awareness. The goal of this research was to begin a nation - wide campaign against drug abuse. The research team was composed of the Advisary Committee members and the staff of the Youth Department of the Republic of Korea National Red Cross. The data were collected in February 1988 with the collaboration of the staff and volunteers in the local Chapters. The respondents were allocated nation-wide by the quota sampling method. The questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in three groups :2, 700 to junior and senior high school students, 605 to working youths, and 916 to delinquent youths. A total of 4, 221 questionnaires were collected. II. Characteristics of the Respondents The respondents in each group were selected evenly from rural and urban areas. The general characteristics of the respondents can be described as follow: in case of students, the proportions between male and female respondents, and between senior high school and junior high school students were almost evenly distributed. In case of working youths, the proportion of females (80.5%) was higher than those of the students and the delinquents groups. Delinquent youths were defined as those currently being under custody of the centers for juvenile delinquents. Of this number, 38.8% and 68.2% were junior and senior high school drop-outs respectively. The majority of them (92.6%) were male. As for the family background of the respondents, the proportion of those residing in poverty - stricken areas, and the proportion of those from broken families were higher in case of working youths and delinquent youths than those in case of students. III. Present Patterns of Drug Abuse The following summarizes the presents of drug abuse, as tabulated from the results of the survey. 1. Smoking The percentage of youths who smoke was 36% in the student group, 32% m the working youths group, and 94.4% in the delinquent youths group. 2. Alcohol 50.3% of students, 71.6% of working youths, and 93.3% of delinquent youths has experienced drinking alcohol beverages. 3. Tonic: non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages popular in Korea and Japan The percentage of those who have used tonic at least once was over 90% in all of the three groups. 4. Sedative About 70% of each group has used sedative with the proportion of working youths use higher than those in other groups. 5. Stimulants Those who have used stimulants comprised around 15% in each group. 6. Tranquilizers Somewhat less than 5% of students and working youths, and 28% of delinquent youths, have used tranquilizers. 7. Hypnotics The users of hypnotics amounted to 0.4% of students, 2.6% of working youths and 7.1% of delinquent youths. 8. Marihuana Those who have used marihuana indicated 0.7% of students, 0.8% of working youths, and 13% of delinquent youths. 9. Glue-sniffing The percentage of glue-sniffing was 3.7%, 5% in the students group and in the youths group respectively, but the proportion was unusually high, at 40.7% in the delinquent youths group. From the results of the survey the present situation of drug abuse in Korea can be summarized as follows: 1. A high percentage of Korean youths have experienced smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages. 2. Tonics (non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages), antipyretic analgesics and stimulants quite regularly used. 3. Tranquilizers, hypnotics, marihuana and glue-sniffing are more widely used among delinquent youths than the other youths. From this fact, there exists a correlation between drug abuse and juvenile delinquency. IV. Time-series Analysis of the First Experience of Drug Abuse and Deviant Behaviour The respoundents were asked when they were first exposed to drugs and when they committed deviant acts. By calculating the average age of each experience, the following pattern was found (See Figure 1). Youths are first exposed to drugs by abuse of tonic(non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages). At the age of 13, they amoke cigarettes, the use of antipyretic analgesics begins at 14 year old, while at the age of 15, they use tranquilizers, and at 16 hynotics. The period of drug abuse which starts from drinking caffeinated beverages and smoking cigarettes and ends in the use of hypnotics takes about three years. During this period, other delinquent behaviours begin to surface, that is, at the age of 13 when smoking cigarettes begins, the delinquent behaviour pattern starts with truancy. Next, they start taking money from others by using physical force. Prior to the age of 15, they are suspended from school, become hostile to adults, begin running away from home, and start using stimulants and alcohol. Soon they become involved even in glue-sniffing and in the use of marihuana. At the age of 15, they begin to see adult videos and carry weapons. Sexual promiscuity and usage of tranquilizers follows the viewing of adult videos. Consequently, by the time they reach the age of 16, they visit drinking establishments, and are picked up by police for committing delinquent acts. And finally, they come to use hypnotic - type drugs. From the above descriptions, drug abuse can be assumed to have a close correlation with delinquent behaviour. V. Social Factors Related to Drug Abuse As for the Korean youths, glue-sniffing is found to he related to aggressive delinquency, in such cases as run - aways, being picked up by the police, and taking money by force. Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is found to be related to seeing adult videos and visiting drinking establishments. Hypnotics and marihuana were found to be representive of drugs which are related to degenerational delinquency, irrespective of social delinquency. The social factors connected with these drug abuse are as follows: 1. Individual factors Male students were more heavily involved in the usage of drug than females. Youths who do not attend church were more likely to be involved in drugs than those who attend. 2. Family factors The youths who were displeased with their mothers smoking and those who thought their parents did not love each other, or those whose parents had used drugs without prescription, were more likely to he drug users. 3. School factors Those youths who found school life boring, were unsuccessful in their studies, spend most of their time with friends, feel their teachers smoke too much, those who had a positive perception of their teachers smoking were likely to he drug users. To sum up, drug abusers depend on the influence of their parents, teachers and peers. IV. Reasons for Drug Abuse Korean students have mainly used drugs to release stress (42.8%), to stay awake (19.7%), and because of the easy accessibility of drugs( 16.6%). Other reasons are due to their ignorance of the side effects of the drugs (3.6%), natural curiosity (4.2%), and to increase strength(3.O%). From the above facts, the major reasons for drug abuse among Korean youths are to release stress and to stay awake in order to prepare exams. Furthermore, since drugs are readily available, we can conclude that drug abuse is caused by the school system(such as entrance exams) in Korea. VII. Conclusion Drug usage among Korean youths are relatively less common than those of western youths. In some cases, such as, glue-sniffing and use of stimulants, the pattern of drug abuse is found. Moreover, early drug abuse is evident, and it has a close connection with deviant behaviour, resulting in juvenile delinquency. Drug abuse cannot be attributed to any one social factor. Specifically, drug abuse depends on parents, peers, teachers and other members of the community, and also is influenced by social institutions such as the entrance exam system. Every person and organization concerned with youth must participate collectively in restraining drug abuse. Finally, it is suggested that social agencial working for youth welfare should make every effort to tackle this serious problem confronted by the Korean youths today.
