The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing a health-promoting lifestyle among highly educated, married women with or without work outside the home. It is a direct interview, cross-sectional study. Subjects were 250 married, unemployed women and 236 married women employed as teachers. Women who have not graduated college, work only part-time or have no current spouse were excluded. The instruments used were the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (Walker, et al., 1987) and the Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire (Backe, et al., 1982), The HPLP scores of the employed, married women were significantly lower than those for unemployed respondents. for both groups of respondents, the self-actualization subscale was the highest score and the exercise subscale was the lowest score. The HPLP indicated that exercise is a very weak area. Thus, an increase in exercise time and frequency, especially for highly educated, married women, is suggested. Multiple regression analysis revealed that a health-promoting lifestyle of unemployed, married women was affected by sports activity, leisure-time activity, depression and satisfaction of role allotment. On the other hand, a health-promoting lifestyle of employed, married women was affected by sports activity, leisure-time activity, stress, self-perceived economic status, coffee consumption, husband's help, and maid's help. That is, with more sports activity and leisure-time activity, less depression and more satisfaction of role allotment, unemployed, married women would have higher HPLP scores. Also, with more sports activity and leisure-time activity, less stress, better self-perceived economic status, less coffee consumption, more husband's help and more maid's help, employed, married women would have higher HPLP scores. The results indicate that sports activity and leisure-time activity were the first and the second determinants of health-promoting lifestyle respectively. Therefore, an exercise-centered health-promoting program for highly educated, married women is suggested in the community or workplace. Especially, the program should be designed to be easily approachable for highly educated, employed married women who have more of a role burden compared to unemployed women.

An experiment has been carried-out on physiological responses in Saanen, Anglo Nubian and Toggenburg goats at different body weights and feed intakes during treadmill exercise at $30{^{\circ}C}$ environmental temperature (ET). The results showed that respiration rate (RR) was significant between time ${\times}$ breed interaction (p < 0.01), with values for the Anglo Nubian being least, while the Saanen was intermediate. With time, RR differed significantly, and after 1 h the respective RR were 238, 221 and 303/min in the Saanen, Anglo Nubian and Toggenburg. With time the rectal temperature (Tr) increased gradually and after 1 h exercise mean values were 40.8, 41.3 and $40.7{^{\circ}C}$ in the Saanen, Anglo Nubian and Toggenburg respectively. Rump skin temperature (RTs) values differed significantly between Anglo Nubians and Toggenburgs, with the differences averaging 0.3, 0.6, 0.4 and $0.4{^{\circ}C}$ after 15, 30, 45 and 60 min exercise respectively. With breed, highest loin skin temperature (LTs) values were in the Anglo Nubian, with an overall mean of $37.9{^{\circ}C}$ (p < 0.05).

본 연구에서는 12주 유산소 트레이닝 전에 비해 트레이닝 후, 간 기능을 나타내는 효소들이 모두 감소함을 나타냈으나 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타내지 못했으며 이는 트레이닝이 간 기능에 영향을 미치지 못한 선행연구[5,15]들에서와 같은 결과를 나타냈다. 하지만 부분적으로 전체 대상자 13명 중 3명(23%)의 간 효소들 즉, 임상적 비정상을 나타낸 알부민(albumin), 토탈빌리루빈(total bilirubine), AST가 트레이닝 후, 정상적인 임상수치로 돌아와 규칙적인 12주 유산소 트레이닝이 제 2형 당뇨(T2DM) 환자의 간 효소에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타내지 못했지만 임상적 판단 수치에 영향을 미친 것은 사실이다. 하지만 모든 비정상적인 간 기능 효소가 정상으로 회기한 것도 아니며 통계적으로 유의한 차이도 나지못했기 때문에 제 2형 당뇨환자(T2DM)의 간 기능 효소를 증진시키는 데 있어 운동 트레이닝의 효과는 성급히 판단하기 어려우며 운동 강도와 기간 등 좀 더 세분화고 다양한 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

연구배경: 최대운동부하 검사는 심폐기능의 종합적인 평가를 위하여 널리 이용되고 있으나 아직 우리나라에는 최대운동시의 호흡성 가스교환이나 폐기능의 정상치가 제대로 확립되어 있지 않은 설정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국성인에서 최대운동시의 이들 지표의 연령과 성별에 따른 정상치 내지 참고치를 마련하는 동시에 이들 중 일부지표의 추정정상치를 산출하는 회귀방정식을 구하는데 있다. 방법: 건강한 성인 남성 603명, 여성 397명, 합계 1,000명(20~66세)을 대상으로 Bruce법으로 증상제한성 최대운동부하 검사를 실시하였으며, 이중 885명에서는 VC, $FEV_1$ 및 MVV도 측정하였다 대상자들은 모두 전문체육인이 아닌 스포츠센터의 회원이었으며, 운동부하검사 중에는 안전상의 문제 때문에 부득이 트레드밀의 손잡이를 잡는 것을 허용하였다. 곁과: $VO_2\;max/m^2$, $VCO_2\;max/m^2$ 및 VE max/$m^2$는 모두 남성에서 뚜렷이 컸으며, 남녀에서 모두 연령의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 한편 RR max는 성별에 따른 차이는 없었으나, 연령의 증가에 따라 약간씩 감소하였으며, $V_T$ max는 남성에서 월등히 많았으나 남녀에서 다같이 연령에 따른 일정한 경향의 변화는 없었다. 그리고 $V_T$ max/VC, $V_E$ max/MVV 및 BR의 평균은 최대운동시에 나이가 많은 여성에서도 상당한 환기예비가 있음을 보여주었다. 저자들은 성적을 토대로 운동시간(분), 나이(세), 시장(cm), 체중(kg), 성별(남=0, 여=1), VC(L), $FEV_1$(L) 및 VE max(L) 등을 변수로 해서 구한 주요 지표들의 회귀방정식은 다음과 같다. $VO_2\;max/m^2(L/min)=1.449+0.073{\times}$운동시간-$0.007{\times}$연령+$0.010{\times}$체중-$0.006{\times}$신장-$0.209{\times}$성별, $VCO_2\;max/m^2(L/min)=1.672+0.063{\times}$운동시간-$0.008{\times}$연령+$0.010{\times}$체중-$0.005{\times}$신장-$0.319{\times}$성별, $V_E\;max/m^2(L/min)=58.161+1.503{\times}$운동시간-$0.315{\times}$연령-$9.871{\times}$성별 또는 $V_E\;max/m^2(L/min)=47.873+6.458{\times}FEV_1-5.715{\times}$성별 및 $V_T\;max(L)=1.497+0.223{\times}VC-0.493{\times}$성별. 결론: 본 연구에서 얻은 최대운동시의 호흡성 가스 교환 및 환기기능에 관한 성적은 건강과 체력에 대해서 일반인보다 관심이 높을 것으로 생각되는 스포츠센터 회원들을 대상으로 한 것이기 때문에, 안전상의 문제로 트레드밀의 손잡이를 잡고 검사를 해야하는 환자나 건강인을 위한 이상적인 목표치 내지 정상치를 제공한 것으로 생각된다. Background: Although graded exercise stress tests are widely used for the evaluation of cardiorespiratory performance, normal standards on respiratory gas exchange and ventilatory functions at maximal exercise in Koreans have not been well established. The purpose of this study is to provide reference values on these by sex and age, along with derivation of some of their prediction equations. Method: Symptom-limited maximal exercise test was carried out by Bruce protocol in 1,000 healthy adults consisting of 603 males and 397 females, aged 20~66 years. Among them VC, $FEV_1$ and MVV were also determined in 885 cases. All the subjects were members of a health center, excluding athletes. During the exercise, subjects were allowed to hold on to front hand rail of the treadmill for safety purpose. Results: The $VO_2\;max/m^2$, $VCO_2\;max/m^2$ and $V_E\;max/m^2$ were greater in males than in females and decreased with age. The RR max in men and women was similar but decreased slightly with age. The $V_T$ max was markedly greater in men but showed no significant changes with age in either gender. The mean of $V_T$ max/VC, $V_E$ max/MVV and BR revealed that there were considerable ventilatory reserves at maximal exercise even in older females. The regression equations of the cardinal parameters obtained using exercise time(ET, min), age(A, yr), height(Ht, cm), weight(W, kg), sex(S, 0=male; 1=female), VC(L), $FEV_1$(L) and $V_E$ max(L) as variables are as follows: $VO_2\;max/m^2$(L/min)=1.449+0.073 ET-0.007A+0.010W-0.006Ht-0.209S, $VCO_2\;max/m^2$(L/min)=1.672+0.063ET-0.008A+0.010W-0.005Ht-0.319S, VE max/$m^2$(L/min)=58.161+1.503ET-0.315A-9.871S or VE max/$m^2$(L/min)=47.873+6.548 $FEV_1$-5.715 S, and VT max(L)=1.497+0.223VC-0.493S. Conclusion: Respiratory gas exchange and ventilatory variables at maximal exercise were studied in 1,000 non-athletes by Bruce protocol. During exercise, the subjects were allowed to hold on to hand rail of the treadmill for safety purpose. We feel that our results would provide ideal target values for patients and healthy individuals to be achieved, since our study subjects were members of a health center whose physical fitness levels were presumably higher than ordinary population.

목적 : 수면장애는 노인에게 있어 다양한 이유로 빈발하고 있다. 이러한 노인의 수면장애에서 운동 강도에 따른 지속적인 운동습관이 수면장애의 치료적 효과를 줄 수 있는지를 밝히기 위해서 뇌파와 멜라토닌의 농도를 이용한 과학적인 방법으로 접근하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구방법 : 일부지역의 노인시설에 거주하는 65세 이상의 노인 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 수면장애의 판단은 수면시간 6시간 이하의 경우(Kozier et al, 2004)와 PSQI(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)의 점수를 동시에 만족하는 경우로 정하였다. 운동유형별 적용은 저강도의 걷기운동, 중강도의 유산소 운동, 고강도의 저항성 근력운동을 적용하였으며 측정도구는 뇌파에서 파형을 체크하기 위하여 QEEG 8-System(LAXTHA Inc. KOREA) 기기와 수면의 질을 검사하기 위해서 수면다원검사에 사용하는 Polysomnograpy (Compumedics, Australia) 기기를 사용하였다. 그리고 TTC(triphenyltetrazolium chloride) 염색과 H & E(Hematoxylin & Eosin) 염색을 통해 조직학적 양상을 관찰하였다. 결과 : 중강도의 유산소 운동 후에 멜라토닌의 농도와 뇌파로 측정한 수면지수에는 긍정적인 유의미한 변화가 있었다. 중강도의 유산소 운동에서는 SWS가 저강도, 고강도 운동보다 유의한 효과가 있었고 SWS의 관찰지표인 델타파의 유의한 변화가 있었다. 결론 : 인체의 일주기성 리듬의 생화학적, 행동학적 기능에 변화를 가져오는 노인에게서 수면장애에 대한 지속적인 운동은 운동의 유형에 따라 효과가 다름을 알 수 있었고 특히 유산소 운동이 다른 운동보다 노인 수면장애에 효과가 크다는 것을 멜라토닌의 농도와 뇌파를 통하여 알 수 있었다. 노인에게 맞춤형 운동을 제공하여 노인들의 삶의 질에 유용하고 건강한 말년을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This study stems from the work of Lehman et al. (Ergonomics, 2001) which concluded that standing yields better work performance, and from the growing health trend of recommending the reduction of the amount of time spent in sitting (Owen et al., Exercise and Sport Science Reviews, 2010). Lajoie et al. (Experimental Brain Research, 1993) provided an initial significant contribution to a theory that standing requires a person to control balance, equating to demand higher productive output from the cognitive system than when a person is sitting. An assumption was formulated that standing position during class is feasible and can be adopted on the belief that it might contribute positive results to students' performance. The purpose of this study is to identify whether a body position during exams tested along with exposure durations has a significant effect on college students' performance. Mathematical analysis and reading comprehension exam was used to measure the cognitive performance of the students. Two factors, position and duration, were tested for significance with two levels each subjected to six replicates. Twenty-four students from the College of Engineering and Agro-Industrial Technology, University of the Philippines Los Ba$\tilde{n}$os were randomly selected. The experiment showed that the body position during exams is a significant factor for the Math exam, but insignificant for the Reading Comprehension exam.

Purpose : This study was carried out to identify the factor of decisional balance for exercise. This was composed of a set of variables at the level of decision making when the elderly decide to do exercise. It was used to classify and identify the characteristics of the stages of change for exercise to which the elderly belong, and was used to identify the variables of decisional balance which influence the stage of change for exercise in the elderly. Methods : Convenient samples of 198 subjects over age 60 in Seoul( mean age=70) were selected from community living, mentally competant older adults and the data was collected from April 1, 1999 to May 31, 1999. The research instrument was the Decisional Balance Measure for Exercise(Marcus & Owen., 1992), Stage of Change Measure(Marcus et al,1992). The data was analyzed by SAS Program. Results: 1. According to stage of change measure, without missing data,191 subjects were distributed in each stage of change for exercise : 50 subjects(26.1%), 7 subjects (3.6%), 52 subjects(27.2%), 4 subjects(2%), and 78(40.8%) belonged to the precontemplation stage, contemplation stage, preparation stage, action stage and maintenace stage. 2. Factor analysis identified 3 factors of decisional balance as appropriate factors for exercise of the elderly and named by researchers; 1)'Perceived Physical-psychological benefit', 2)'Perceived Physical-psychological burden', and 3)'Perceived time burden'. 3. The analysis of variance showed that the two components Perceived Physical - psychological benefit(F=45.95, P=.0001), and Perceived Physical-psychological burden (F=26.52, P=.0001) were significantly associated with stage of change. 4. Through the discriminant analysis, it was found that both 'Self Perceived Physical - Psychological benefit' and 'Perceived Physical-Psychological burden' were the influential variables in discriminating the three stages of change(pre-contemplation, preparation, and maintenance). Conclusion : Results are consistent with the application of the Transtheoretical model, which has been used to understand how people change health behaviors. Even though this study is a cross-sectional, not a longitudinal study, the findings of this study give useful information for exercise intervention about especially the factors relating to decision making for exercise of the elderly in the different stages of change of exercise.

Purpose: In this study, we sought to understand the risk factor for chronic disease of workers by studying the association between occupational standing time and metabolic syndrome(MetS) in full-time 300 male workers. Materials: Data on age, life habit, work related information of the subjects were surveyed using self-reported questionnaire and interview. MetS was identified based on the report of Alberti et al.(2009). As for the data analysis, SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct the descriptive statistic, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: Daily working hour affects on the lifting heavy objects, running and strenuous exercise(r=-0.137, p<0.01), and total physical function decreased with the increase in age(r=-0.145, p<0.01). Also, obese was significantly associated with genuflection and bend over(r=-0.110, p<0.05). On multiple logistic regression analysis for the diagnostic indices of MetS, occupational standing time were significantly associated with waist circumference(odds ratio=0.885, ${\beta}$ value=-0.122, 95% CI=0.797-0.983, p<0.05) and triglyceride (odds ratio=0.873, ${\beta}$ value=-0.136, 95% CI=0.800-0.953, p<0.01). Conclusions: These results suggest that the working posture may be important risk factor in pathogenesis and growing of MetS and cardiovascular disease.

Entrepreneurial ecosystem is a very active area of research both conceptually and empirically, yet most literature that emerged over the last two decades predominantly pertain to developed economies. At the same time, transitioning and emerging economies have continued to grow rapidly, making a strong case to study entrepreneurial ecosystems in emerging economies (Bruton et al., 2018). Ecosystems are broad constructs and the constitutive elements of an ecosystem are themselves complex (Stam, 2015). Hence exploring key elements of the ecosystem in depth to understand the mechanisms of how entrepreneurship is supported through intermediary organizations like incubators is a fruitful exercise. In this context, we review the book "Technology Business Incubators in India Structure, Role and Performance" which is a timely synthesis for academic researchers and practitioners, looking to explore the topic as it pertains to emerging economies. The book is part of the De Gruyter Studies in Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems series, that covers pertinent ecosystems issues around universities, and sustainability by leading authors.

The purpose of this study was to identify the barrier factors of health behaviors of urban and rural elderly and to compare the health behaviors and level of barriers between two groups, and finally to get the basic informations about the adequate nursing strategies to promote the health state of urban and rural elderly. The subjects of this study were 177 over the age of 65, 81 elderly lived in Seoul and 96 elderly lived in rural areas. The instruments for this study were the health behavior scale(14 items) and the barrier scale (118 items) developed by Gu et al(2003). For the data analysis, SPSS PC program was utilized for descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$- test, t-test, Pearson correlation. The results of this study were ; 1. The mean score of health behaviors (range 1-4) was 2.69 in urban elderly and 2.33 in rural elderly ; there was significant difference(t=5.03, P=.00). 2. There were significant differences in levels of barriers(range 1-3) between the two groups, such as calcium intake(t=-3.16, P=.00), regular exercise(t=-3.80, P=.00), exercise time(t=-5.54, P=.00), use of stress reduction method(t=-3.45, P=.00), regular check up(t=-3.89, P=.00), vaccination(t=-3.83, P=.00). Higher levels of barriers were found in rural elderly than in urban elderly. 3. Lack of habituation, lack of will power and lack of knowledge in calcium intake; lack of time, lack of habituatuion, lack of family support, lack of will power and lack of environment in exercise; lack of perceived benefit, lack of time, lack of will power and lack of knowledge in use of stress reduction method; lack of time, lack of interest, lack of habituation and lack of will power in disease prevention were significantly higher in rural elderly than in urban elderly. In the conclusion, nursing interventions should be planned based on the social environment of elderly. To promote the health state of elderly, interventions to decrease the barrier levels and to reduce the barrier factors to health behaviors should be implemented.
