This study investigated and analyzed the effects of vegetation on the roadside slopes at the expressway construction sites in order to evaluate the vegetation recovery regarding soil type and revegetation technique. We selected two study sites with an area of 1,000 m² located in the construction sites of the Korea Expressway Corporation, named Hwado-Yangpyeong Expressway Section 3 and Saemangeum-Jeonju Expressway Section 7. The revegetation was monitored in three plot groups (earth, soft rock, and hard rock slopes), and scored based on the guideline of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. The revegatation was generally lower in the Hwado-Yangpyeong site than that of the Saemangeum-Jeonju site. The field monitoring indicated that the revegetation varied with slope aspect and environmental characteristics between plots. the Saemangeum-Jeonju site showed a high overall evaluation score, but there was a slight difference in the score for each plot. This seems to be due to the differences in geographical conditions, construction methods, and site environment between two sites. This study can provide basic information to understand the short-term effects of revegetation techniques in the roadside slopes.

농업기술의 발전으로 인하여 농약사용은 증가하게 되었으며, 이에 따라 농약사용으로 인한 건강영향에 대한 관심도 증가시켰다. 그러나 농약의 사용과 노출된 근로자의 주관적인 건강상태에 관한 연구는 아직 없는 형편이기 때문에 본 연구에서는 농약 노출과 주관적인 건강상태의 연관성에 관한 연구를 시도하고자, 집단의 건강상태를 알기 쉽고 농촌지역의 노인인구를 대상으로 쉽게 설문을 할 수 있는 SF-12를 이용하여 농약과 건강상태의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 조사 대상은 농약을 많이 사용하는 것으로 알려진 강원도 일부지역 고랭지 농업인을 대상으로 하였다. 분석결과 고랭지 농업인이 일반 농업인보다 전체 노출지수나 살충제 노출지수, 제초제 노출지수, 급성 중독 증상 지수 모두 높았다. 그러나 본 연구는 단면적 연구이고 건강상태에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다양한 요인들이 통제가 안 되어 있다는 제한점을 가지고 있으나 농약과 건강수준, 특히 만성적인 건강 장해를 일으킬 수 있다는 점을 제시하여 농약의 과다사용을 방지하고 농약사용에 대한 보건학적 주의가 필요하다는 점을 제시할 수 있으며 향후 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 필요가 있다.

The capital city of Himalayan Country Nepal, Kathmandu Valley is surrounded by consecutive high mountains, which limits the air distribution and mixing effects significantly. It in turn generates steady air flow pattern over a year except in monsoon season. The air shed in the Valley is easily trapped by the surrounded mountains and the inversion layer formulated as the cap. The $PM_{10}$ concentration was noticeably higher than the standard level (120 ${\mu}g/m^3$) in urban and suburban area of Kathmandu valley for all seasons except monsoon period. The Valley area experiences similar wind patterns (W, WWS, and S) for a year but the Easterly wind prevails only during the monsoon period. There was low and calm wind blows during the winter season. Because of this air flow structure, the air emission from various sources is accumulated within the valley air, high level of air pollution is frequently recorded with other air polluted cities over the world. In this Valley area, brick kilns are recognized as the major air pollution source followed by vehicles. Mostly Bull Trench Kiln (BKT), Hoffman Kiln and Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) are in operation for brick firing in Kathmandu valley where the fuels such as crushed coal, saw dust, and natural gas are used for processing bricks in this study. Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and Other Environmental Impacts (TRACI) was used for screening and quantifying the potential impacts of air emission from firing fuels. The total Environmental Performance Score (EPS) was estimated and the EPS of coal was approximately 2.5 times higher than those of natural gas and saw dust. It is concluded that the crushed coal has more negative impact to the environment and human health than other fuel sources. Concerning the human health and environment point of view, alternative environment friendly firing fuel need to be used for brick industry in the kiln and the air pollution control devices also need to be applied for minimizing the air emissions from the kilns.

Objectives: This study assessed the status of domestic industrial hygiene laboratories using data from on-site investigation for revision of quality control systems in 2012-2013. Methods: The target laboratories were 60 industrial hygiene laboratories chosen by random selection and nationwide distribution which had participated in on-site investigations for revision of quality control systems from March 2012 to August 2013. The investigation was performed on-site following standard quality control procedures. The score between each group was compared using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and the correlation between analytical career, sex, academic major of analyst and score of analytical performance was expressed as Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results: The assessment revealed that the items to be improved, in sequence, were effort at staff training (score 65.5), ability to calculate data (score 73.4), establishment of internal quality control guidelines (score 75.7), laboratory facilities (score 77.1), degree of understanding and skill at gas chromatography (score 77.1). Analysis performance showed a positive correlation with career of analyst (r=0.56, p<0.01). Conclusions: The practice of on-site investigation for quality control systems showed the current status of industrial hygiene laboratories in the first trial. There were many laboratories which needed improvement and development of analytical systems. This assessment can provide information for the systematic operation and improvement of facilities at each laboratory. Further practice of this investigation will lead to a proficiency testing and accreditation system for autonomous quality control as is the practice in many countries, rather than mandatory practice by legal regulation.

본 연구는 Rapid Upper Limb Assessment(RULA)를 이용하여 자동차 조립작 업에 대한 인간공학적 작업평가를 하고, 이 결과와 작업관련 상지 근골격계 질환의 자각증상율 및 작업특성 변수들의 연관성을 분석함으로써, RULA결과가 관련 신체부위의 통증이나 불편함으로 보고되는 근골격계 부하의 좋은 지표가 될 수 있는지, RULA평가체계를 이용하여 작업 위험도가 적합한지 여부를 평가할 수 있는가를 보고자 하였다. 자동차 제조업 작업자 314명을 대상으로 근골격계질환 자각증상설문과 RULA를 이용한 작업평가를 하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. NIOSH의 작업관련 근골격계 질환의 감시기준(surveillence criteria)에 따라 자각증상을 조사한 결과, 연구대상자 중 목 32.8%, 어깨 26.4%, 팔 10.5%, 손 29.3%, 허리 41.4%였으며, 한가지 이상 의 증상을 보이는 경우는 62.4%의 분포를 보였다. 2. 품질관리부에 비해 조립부서 작업자 틀이 전체 증상과 어깨, 허리, 팔 및 손부 위 증상에서 더 높은 유증상률을 보였다(p<0.05). 3. 부서별 RULA를 이용한 작업평가 결과, 서브/조립반과 의장반의 공정이 높은 위험점수를 보였다. 전체 조립부서에 대한 평가결과 적합한 작업은 3.02%였고, 62.8%가 부적합한 작업으로 작업전환이나 중재조치가 필요한 경우였다. 자각증상과 RULA를 이용한 작업평가 결과를 비교한 결과 RULA점수가 클수록 자각증상율이 높음을 보였다.(p<0.05) 4. RULA평가지표와 자각증상사이의 관련성을 보기 위하여, RULA지표와 기타 작업관련요인들을 독립변수로, 자각증상유무를 종속변수로 하여 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 최종적으로 증상유무를 가장 잘 설명하는 회귀모형에 대한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 모든 증상군에 대해서는 반복작업(OR 2.183), 진동공구 사용(OR 2.775)과 총 위험도 점수(OR 2.250); 목 부위 증상군에서는 상완의 자세점수(OR 1.786), 상완 및 손부 위의 총점수(OR 1.634) ; 어깨 증상군은 상지의 근사용(OR 3.076), 상완 및 손부 위의 총점수(OR 1.798); 어깨와 목 부위를 합한 증상군은 상완 및 손부위의 총점 수(OR 1.715)와 상지의 근사용 점수(OR 2.057); 팔 증상군에서는 상지의 근사용 점수(OR 10.662) ; 손 부위 증상군에 대해서는 손목의 자세/손목 비틀림 지표 (OR 2.068)와 상지의 근사용 점수(OR 2.215); 허리부위 증상군에서는 하지의 근사용 점수(OR 2.601)가 통계적으로 유의한 지표였다.(p<0.05) 이상의 결과에서 작업관련 상지근골격계 자각증상과 RULA 점수사이에는 연관성이 있음이 관찰되었다. 이는 RULA가 직업성 질환을 유발할 수 있는 근골격계 부하에 폭로된 작업자들을 평가하는, 일차적인 작업 위험도 평가도구(Screening tool)로서 쓰일 수 있음을 말해준다. 다만 향후 RULA 사용에 있어서 상지(upper limb)와 허리부위(back)의 평가를 구분하고, 기타 다른 작업관련 요인들에 대한 평가체계를 보완하는 것이 필요하다.

The international environmental activity and environmental education began in 1970's. Environmental education in Korea was emphasized since the Forth National Curriculum. The Environmental Curriculum was regarded as one of the most important part in the Sixth National Curriculum in Korea. Environment-related reference texts of Elementary school were already developed. Soon, 'Environment' of middle school and 'Environmental Science' of high school will be developed. The purpose of this study were to analyse environment-related texts in the Fifth National Curriculum and to measure how much environmental education has achieved. As a environmental text for regular class, selected the environmental part in 'Science Part 1' and as environment-related reference text, 'Survival and Environment'. The environmental part of 'Science Part 1' was unit [Life and Environment]. According to the analysis of objectives, most of unit objectives were not stated in a detailed and precise manner. When the goals of environmental education were divided into four fields as follows, knowledge and information, skill, thinking and attitude, behavior and participation, unit objectives were mostly emphasized on knowledge and information of environment, exactly 44.5% of unit objectives and 89.6% of subunit objectives. The degree of relationship between unit objectives and contents was low. All the Check up-problems were about knowledge and information of environment. Environment-related reference text, 'Survival and Environment' was the only reference text for high school students in Korea and was organized in the form of the regular curriculum text. It was developed in Korean Education Development, Center with support of Korean Environmental Ministry in 1990. According to the analysis of 'Survival and Environment', the objectives of units and subunits were less stressed on knowledge and information than those of unit [Life and Environment] in the environmental part of 'Science Part 1' On the other hand, they were a little more stressed on skill, thinking and attitude, behavior and participation. And fifteen of all the seventy subunit objectives were not related with contents. In organization, this text included Thinking problems, Experiments and Inquiries, Reading, Developed studies and Check up-problem etc. It was remarkable that Inquiries leaded to individual activities and Developed studies to group discussions or individual inquiries. And as Check-up problems were presented as a form of activities, students could achieve many various objectives at the same time by solving one problem. To measure the achievement of environmental education by questionnaire, 497 high school students in total were selected from five different schools. Scores in subtest 'behavior and participation' and subtest 'thinking and attitudes' were 13.19 and 18.18, respectively. Actually, most students had a positive thinkings and attitudes in their hearts about environmental problems, but many of them actually did not take actions to solve environmental problems and to protect environment. Scores in subtest 'knowledge and information' and subtest 'skill' were 10.76 and 10.81, respectively. The higher the score students got in 'knowledge and information', the higher the score in 'skill'. It implies that learning of skills is based on learning of knowledges and informations about environment has not always ensured positive thinkings and attitudes or active behaviors and participations to solve environmental problem.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the fall risk factors. Method: The subjects were 87 persons who were older than 65 years living at 28 nursing home in Seoul and Gyunggi province. Subjects were interviewed using RAFS II for intrinsic factor and the environmental factor were assessed using a structured questionnaire from Oct. to Dec. in 2004. The data were analyzed by SPSS(ver. 12.0) programs, using descriptive statistics, $x^2$-test, and t-test. Result: The 37.9% of the subjects experienced the fall, and its average number is $1.94\pm1.75$. The Women's experience of the fall was higher than that of the men, but it was no significant difference with gender. There was no significant difference with the age and duration of living. The mean of the intrinsic risk factor was 13.38 in total score 39 points marks on the RAFS II scales. The intrinsic risk factor score of the fallen group 15.71 was significantly higher than the non-fallen group 12.10. The variables of recent fall experience(t=4.72, p=0.000) and urinary dysfunction(t=2.64, p=0.010) was significantly higher than the non-fallen group. The highest variable of the intrinsic factor was the age and the variables of drug intake, balance, chronic disease, recent fall experience, urinary dysfunction were followed in order. The mean of the environmental risk factor was 0.24 points. No significant differences were shown in environmental risk factor between the fallen and the non-fallen groups. To the fallen group, the place of entrance was the highest risky environmental factor. To see in area dimension, the floor surfaces was the highest risky environmental factor and equipment and illumination factor was the following risky elements in order. In the total score of environmental risk factors based on the ares, the fallen group was 0.26 and the non-fallen group was 0.24, but there were no significant differences between the groups. Conclusion: This results suggested that visual protection strategy, set up the safety device in the place of entrance and inner stairway, bathroom and nonskid mat in the nursing home would be contribute to the prevention of the fall for the elderly.

The object of this study was to help designing of well-fit and comfortable brassieres for the elementary school girls through the survey on actual condition of wearing brassieres. The subjects of investigation for this study was the elementary school girls in the province of Jeonbuk and Taejeon city. The conclusion of this study was as follows; The 40.2% of the total subjects were wearing brassieres like the 63.3% of the fourth, the 85.4% of the fifth, and the 89.7% of the sixth grade students. The main reason of non wearing brassieres was for the underdeveloped breast, and also that of wearing brassieres was for the good shape of the breast. The main types of brassieres were ranked "Tank Top type", "Mold type", and "Adolescent girl-Bra". They had started to wear brassieres by the recommendation of adults who were their mother or teachers, and usually wearing brassieres all day. They usually purchased brassieres "with mother together" or "only by their mother". The standard of choosing brassieres was also ranked by FASHION, CONVENIENCE, SIZE, TOUCH, and SWEAT ABSORPTION. The total score of satisfaction for wearing brassieres was showed "Average score" and the score higher in Jeonju and Taejeon than in Kunsan. The higher grade and fatter was showed decreasing the score of satisfaction. The higher grade became, the more various for the size and preferable a pure cotton fabric for brassieres. The favorite types of brassieres were "Sport Bra" and "Volume-up Bra". They usually purchased a little larger size than their original size of that.

The purposes of this study were to classify internet shopping mall user by their shopping styles and to define the characteristics of the classified individual clusters. Questionnaires were completed by 338 men and women who have used internet shopping malls at lead once during the previous 6 months. The internet shopping styles were classified into 4 clusters after factor analysis and k-means cluster analysis. Cluster I, named 'high brand proneness', can be described as having low score on devotee tendency. Cluster II, named 'high value proneness', is characterized by a high score on seeking substance. Cluster III, called 'steadiness orientation', can be described as having a tow score on seeking trend and substance. Cluster IV, named 'individuality inclination', can be described as having low score on seeking trend. These four clusters differ in terms of socio-demographic and environmental characteristics such as gender, age, educational level, occupation, and internet using time. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
