This review aimed to identify risk factors for occupational accidents and illnesses among young workers in the Nordic countries and to attain knowledge on specific vulnerable groups within the young working force that may need special attention. We conducted a systematic review from 1994 to 2014 using five online databases. Of the 12,528 retrieved articles, 54 met the review criteria and were quality assessed, in which data were extracted focusing on identifying occupational safety, health risk factors, and vulnerable groups among the young workers. The review shows that mechanical factors such as heavy lifting, psychosocial factors such as low control over work pace, and organizational factors such as safety climate are all associated with increased injury risk for young Nordic workers. Results show that exposures to chemical substances were associated with skin reactions, e.g., hand eczema. Heavy lifting and awkward postures were risk factors for low back pain, and high job demands were risk factors for mental health outcomes. The review identified young unskilled workers including school drop-out workers as particularly vulnerable groups when it comes to occupational accidents. In addition, apprentices and young skilled workers were found to be vulnerable to work-related illnesses. It is essential to avoid stereotyping young Nordic workers into one group using only age as a factor, as young workers are a heterogeneous group and their vulnerabilities to occupational safety and health risks are contextual. Politicians, researchers, and practitioners should account for this complexity in the education, training and organization of work, and workplace health and safety culture.

Objective : The present study examined the effectiveness of the mindful self-compassion (MSC) program on anxiety, depression, self-compassion and emotion regulation. Methods : A total of 29 subjects (mean age 27.5±6.5 years, 15 males and 14 females) participated in a standardized 8-week MSC program. The control group consisted of age- and sex-matched twenty participants (mean age 26.0±2.9 years, 11 males and 9 females). All subjects completed self-report measurements at two weeks before and after the MSC program. Results : MSC training improved self-compassion as demonstrated by the significant group x time interaction effects on the total Self-Compassion Scale scores (F[1, 47]=8.324, p<0.01). Regarding the subscale scores, a significant improvement in self-kindness, isolation and mindfulness components of self-compassion was observed after MSC training. A significant group x time interaction was observed on the self-kindness subscale (F[1, 47]=4.664, p<0.05), with a significant main effect of time (F[1, 47]=23.723, p<0.001). The isolation subscale showed a significant group x time interaction (F[1, 47]=8.698, p<0.001). For the mindfulness subscale, there was a significant group x time interaction (F[1, 47]=6.611, p<0.05) and main effect of time (F[1, 47]=6.611, p<0.05). MSC training also improved the acceptance emotion regulation strategy, as demonstrated by the significant group x time interaction in the acceptance subscale scores of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (F[1, 47]=6.845, p<0.05). Conclusion : MSC training showed efficacy in fostering self-compassion and improving emotion regulation. Thus, this program might be applicable to improve mental health.

In this study, nurses above the age of 20 years and working in General Hospitals located in the Gyeongbuk province were enrolled as participant. A survey was conducted to identify the relationship between types of health-eating, level of occupational stress, and degree of quality of life. An effective sample size of 120 was determined, and it was validated as a feasible count to perform the analysis by applying the PLS-SEM. We hypothesized that the physiological and psychological occupational stress levels vary according to functional, mental, and trendy types of health-eating lives and impact the degree of quality of life. This was evaluated using structural models, employing the bootstrapping method using the Smart PLS 3.0. Our results indicate that in the relationship between health-eating types and quality of life, the higher the functional health-eating type, the higher the quality of life. The association between job stress and quality of life showed that the higher the psychological work stress, the more negative the quality of life. Examining the association between the type of healthy eating and the quality of life revealed that the higher the functional health-eating type, the higher the quality of life. As a result of verifying the moderating effect of the difference in working period (less than 3 years/more than 3 years), it was found that the shorter the working period (less than 3 years), the higher the psychological stress.

Purpose : In this study, we aimed to explore the concept of chakra in Tibetan medicine, elucidate its unique characteristics, and assess the differences between the Tibetan and Indian chakra systems to enhance the understanding of the Tibetan chakra system. Methods : Here, relevant on Tibetan medicine and chakra system were collected from Google Scholar and Korean Academic Information Databases and meticulously analyzed. Moreover, number of main chakras, characteristics of the five elements, and principles of each chakra system were evaluated. Results : Development and precise location of chakras are extensively detailed in Tibetan medicine, indicating an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the chakra system. The Indian chakra system consists of seven chakras, whereas the Tibetan chakra system is composed of five chakras. Tibetan medicine focuses on three distinct energy elements, Lung, Tripa, and Beken, corresponding to the lower, middle, and upper sections of the body, respectively, with each exhibiting different arrangements and functions for each chakra in the Tibetan chakra system compared to those in the Indian chakra system. Furthermore, Tibetan medicine adheres to Buddhist principles, which attribute diseases to mental causes, thus exhibiting therapeutic potential for psychosomatic illnesses. Conclusion : Owing to the distinct and significant differences between the two chakra systems, the five chakras of the Tibetan system are challenging to conceptualize using the Indian framework of seven chakras. Hence, comprehensive understanding of the Tibetan culture and medicine is necessary to elucidate the Tibetan chakra system. Overall, this study provides compelling evidence for the existence of chakra and highlights the attributes of two key chakra systems, thereby providing valuable insights for energy medicine based on the intricate energy pathways of the body.

This study was carried out to find out the effect of dietary intake on cognitive function retardation in old age using dietary survey and cognitive function test. The subjects were 332 men of 50-94 years old and their activities of daily living were very similar. The cognitive function was tested by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)-K which was translated from MMSE, and the 24-hour recall method was used for dietary survey. Scoring of MMSE-K was a little different from MMSE, that is, in case of no education, one to four points were added to exclude the effect of education which has been considered as a confounder by many researchers. The number of subjects belonging to below 23 of MMSE-K score was increased by increasing age. Even though points were added in case of no education, the ratio of below 23 MMSE-K score group was diminished by increasing education. Therefore, education seems not to be a confounder but a independent variable on cognitive function. Income, past occupation, family type, self-evaluated health status did not play any effect on cognitive function significantly. On the other hand, the correlation between each nutrients and the score of cognitive function test showed that the more consumption of vitamin A and protein, the higher cognitive function score was obtained. In case of iron and Ca, even though it was not statistically significant, there was a tendency of increasing cognitive function score by increasing the intake of those nutrients. This study suggests that micronutrient intakes might be more related to cognitive function than macronutrients.

This study deals with the interchange with art that is contained in the works of Yves Saint Laurent, and it is disclosed through his works that modern fashion is part of expressive art while pursuing creative function as a work of art. The study has been performed on the basis of the references, the pictures of his works and interviews posted in domestic and overseas fashion magazines such as Vogue, Fashion News, Mode & Mode, Gap, Collections, etc. Regarding the scope of this study, it specifically deals with works he created from 1958 until 2002, when he announced his last collection. The results of the study show that with respect to Post-Impressionism, his works were greatly affected by van Gogh(who had used colors as active media in depicting his internal mental state) which gave birth to gorgeous and handicraft-like 'Couture-style clothes'. With respects to Fauvism, the works of Matisse also had an impact on Yves Saint Laurent, who added a sense of fauvism in his works through the use of colors, motif, or full reproduction of images from paintings. We see the influence of cubism upon Laurent when we examine his works of 'clothes with artistic value,' which utilized applique, beaded decoration, patchwork, embroidered patterns, relief-like ornaments, etc. using motif or objet much as we see in the works of Picasso and Braque, artists who expressed a new dimension of the formative arts. Laurent's use of neoplasticism, or plainness of painting, demonstrates a new formative art on the three-dimensional human body by using the works of Mondrian, which consist of black lines and primary colors, although generally Laurent's 'neoplastic'works differed from the works of Mondrian by more actively utilizing the lines and colors when designing dress and its ornament. In addition, the paintings and poems of surrealism artists and poets were directly used in the clothes or their images were sometimes borrowed. In order to express respect toward the spirit of surrealism and its artists, the human body motifs such as lips and eyes(which were frequently used by the surrealism artists) were applied to embroidery, printing and beaded decoration. Finally, being inspired by such Pop artists as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Tom Wesselman, Laurent further emphasized the aesthetic value of the popular consumer image in his own work, resulting in the wide recognition of the designs of Yves Saint Laurent as representing the new wave of the Pop Art school.

모든 문화가 모두 그러하듯이 옷의 색채, 그 배후에는 그 민족이 몸담고 살아온 자연환경과 그 환경 속에서 화육(化育)화된 인생관이나 근성이 작용하고 있다. 혼례는 두 성(性)이 좋게 합하여 위로는 종묘(宗廟)를 모시고 아래로는 후세를 이루는 것을 널리 사회적으로 인정받는 것이다. 예(禮)에서 기본중에 하나가 복식이다 혼례복에 나타난 색채가 가지고 있는 의미와 상징성은 조선시대의 미(美)와 유기적인 조합으로 잘 나타나 있다. 현재까지도 지켜져 내려오는 전통 혼례복 속에 나타난 오방색의 특징을 찾아봄으로써 통념적으로 알고있는 다섯 가지의 촌스러운 색조화가 아니라 자연환경과 같이 청명하며 화려하고 철학적인 색채임을 분석하고자 한다. 본고는 한국혼례복에 나타난 색채의 특징을 알아보기 위하여 한ㆍ중ㆍ일의 혼례복과 단청을 일 예로써 비교하고 한국 전통 색채의 이론적 배경을 살펴보았다. 이를 통해서 한국색채는 의미론적 상징 색채이며 그 근원은 음양오행에서 출발했으며 도교의 태극도설, 유교의 도참사상과 단청의 색채가 직접 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 음양(陰陽)의 오채(五彩)가 삼라만상(森羅萬象)을 나타내는 객이고 하나가 아닌 두 가지 색 또는 그 이상의 색채와 연결될 때에 상호작용에 의하여 균형미를 이루는 색채이다. 또한 자연숭배 및 인간존엄 사상이 깃들여 있으며 길복(吉福)을 기원함과 동시에 벽사(僻邪)의 의미를 부여한 것을 알 수 있다. 인간이 복되고 부정함에서 벗어나 우주만물이 조화롭게 이루어지길 기원하는 조형미는 시각적인 만족만이 아닌 정신적인 만족까지도 추구하는 미의식인 것이다.

경제적 수준의 향상과 급속한 사회적 변화에 따라 국민들의 복지욕구가 다양화되면서 문화, 의료, 정신과 정보 차원으로 확대된 국민들의 종합적인 서비스에 대한 욕구가 변화하고 있다. 따라서 미래에는 작은 단위의 지역사회를 중심으로 주민의 행정, 복지, 여가, 문화, 정보화 요구를 수용하는 공간인 통합적 공동체복합지원시설의 구축이 필요하다. 공동체 복합지원시설은 지역주민들이 가장 손쉽게 접할 수 있는 만남의 장으로서 정보 교환을 비롯한 다양한 기초적인 서비스를 제공, 궁극적으로 주민들의 공동체 생활의 활성화에 기여하여 기존 도심의 재생과 활성화를 이루는데 이바지하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 공동체복합지원시설의 일반적 현황과 물리적 복합 형태를 파악하고 복합유형을 도출, 공간특성을 분석하였다. 현재 공급되고 있는 시설들은 이용자들 모두가 참여 할 수 있는 프로그램과 복합기능을 수용 수 있는 시설이 대체적으로 부족하다. 앞으로 계획되어질 공동체복합지원시설은 프로그램과 복합기능을 모두 수용 할 수 있는 시설을 우선하여 공공행정시설이나 장애자 시설, 노인시설을 같이 배치하여 혐오시설로 느껴지지 않도록 배려하여, 서로 교류하는 공동체 삶을 추구하도록 시설의 설계단계부터 방법 또한 필요하다고 보여 진다. 창의적인 복합개념이 도입되어 이동에 소요되는 시간과 비용을 이용자들에게 돌려줌으로써 여러 가지 기회를 부가적으로 제공받음과 동시에 다양한 삶이 확보 되어야 할 것이다. 지역의 고유한 특성이 반영이 되고, 이용자의 다양성을 고려하고, 사회적 변화에 순응과 변화를 동시에 기능할 수 있는 복합화가 되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 한계로는 조사 분석만으로 도출된 결과로 보편성에서 다소 미흡하다 할 수 있지만 공동체복합지원시설이 지역주민의 생활여건이나 현실적인 요구에 대응할 수 있는 공동체복합지원시설 복합화 계획을 위한 기초연구자료로서 활용 될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
