This study analyzes the satisfaction degree for menu quality of the regional cuisine in Gangwon province. The result of verifying hypotheses is as follows. For the satisfaction with the quality in direct services, it showed no similarity by education levels, locations, and income levels; however, there was a significant difference in satisfaction by gender, locations, and occupation. Males evaluated satisfaction with direct services higher than females, and Chun-Cheon and Sok-Cho residents felt more satisfied than Gang-Reung residents. By occupation, students and self-employed ones showed more satisfaction. For the satisfaction with indirect services, there was a significant difference in 1% of the similarity range by gender, locations, and occupation while no difference was shown in the other variables. Compared with the satisfaction with direct services, satisfaction with indirect services was low, which indicated the necessity of improving indirect services. Indirect services showed the same results of satisfaction by gender, locations, occupation as those of direct services. In particular, it showed high satisfaction among students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate various factors which affect father's child-rearing attitudes through the examination of father-child relationships. In other words, the study aims at finding out how the variables possessed by father side operate on his child-rearing attitudes according to the sex and birth-order of children. Hence, the study is carried out on the hypothesis that father's variables such as age, education, occupation, religion, etc. show different aspects on child-rearing attitudes by way of a child's sex and birth-order. The results of the study show that the factors that affect father's child-rearing attitudes are child's variables such as sex and birth-order as well as father's variables such as education, occupation and religion. describing these factors I detail, the study shows that father has higher concern on daughter rather than on son; the higher education he has, the higher his concern is; and when father has a white-collar job or is a Christian, he shows higher concern on his children. The above mentioned factors are analyzed and classified as follows by the child-rearing contents: A. The factors which affect father's concern one his children are: 1) sex, 2) father's education and 3) occupation related to the sex and birth-order of children. B. The factors which affect father's participation in child-care are; 1) sex, 2) birth-order, 3) father's education, 4) occupation and 5) religion related to the sex and birth-order. C. The factors which affect father's disciplinary attitudes (Praise or scolding) are ; 1) sex, 2) father's education and 3) religion related to the sex and birth-order. C. The factors which affect father's disciplinary attitudes (praise or scolding) are; 1) sex, 2) father's education related to sex, and 3) sex in terms of negative attitudes. E. Finally, father's age is proved to be a factor that does not give any significance in his child-rearing attitudes.

This study is to develop a web-based career guidance system to be a help making a decision on one's occupation, which is important for a person's life. As career development education for higher grades of elementary school aims at providing basic knowledge necessary for career choice and forming a basic attitude toward occupation and values, it is desirable to carry out the guidance of a variety of occupations on the basis of personal interest and aptitude of individual students. Previously, however, most studies have remained at the level where simply test results are notified. Therefore, the study administered a career development test fit for higher grades of elementary school who are at the stage of potential career choice and developed a web-based career guidance system in which suitable occupation types are advised of based on the results. Beyond notifying test results, the developed career guidance system presents 3 excellent intelligences, rather than converting test results into scores. Thus, it is expected that the system will help students understand their areas of excellent intelligence, efficiently study related occupation types and duties, and learn to have awareness and make a better decision in relation to their career.

The purpose of this study was to provide fundamental data for nursing intervention by assessing self-esteem and quality of life(QL) in patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The subjects of this study were 60 patients on hemodialysis at H university medical center in Seoul and 56 patients on peritoneal dialysis at B company. The analysis was done by using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe and Stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows: 1. The average self-esteem score was significantly higher in patients on hemodialysis (27.98) than in patients on peritoneal dialysis (25.64). And there were no statistically significant differences between patients on hemodialysis(128.45) and patients on peritoneal dialysis(122.83) in the scores on QL. Among four factors of QL, hemodiaysis patients showed higher score than peritoneal dialysis patients in all factors. But, only family had statiscally significant differences. Also family showed the highest score in both groups, but psychomental showed the lowest score. 2. In patients on hemodialysis, self-esteem was significantly different by occupation(t=3.122, p=.003) and in patients on peritoneal dialysis by age(F=4.450, p=.007), education level(F=7.458, p=.001) and occupation (t=2.491, p=.017). Also in patients on hemodialysis, QL was significantly different by occupation(t=2.223, p=.033) and in patients on peritoneal dialysis by education level(F=4.007, p=.024), and occupation (t=2.806, p=.007). 3. Self-esteem accounted for 36.3% of variance in QL and monthly income accounted for an additional 6.1% of QL in hemodialysis patients by means of stepwise multiple regression analysis. In peritoneal patients, self-esteem accounted for 65.1% and monthly income accounted for an additional 2.7% in QL.

Objectives: To determine the disparity in the rate people undergo health examinations according to socioeconomic position (SEP) and the changes in this disparity with time. Methods: Seoul citizens' health profile data from 1997 to 2005 were analyzed. The study subjects were 40 years old and over, and the total number of subjects was 6,601 in 1997, 8,994 in 2001, and 8,819 in 2005. Those aged 60 years and over were eliminated from the analysis of subjects' occupation. We used education, family income and occupation as indicators of SEP. The age-standardized health examination attendance rate for each year was calculated according to the education, family income and occupation. The odds ratios (ORs) from multiple logistic regressions were adjusted for age. Results: The disparity in the rate of attendance according to the SEP decreased from 1997 to 2005 but still existed. Even though the disparities among the subgroups according to education, family income and occupation were not that high, the disparity between the group with the highest SEP and the other groups was considerable. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that unequal access to health examination services according to socioeconomic position still exists. This disparity has decreased recently but the disparity according to level of education was the greatest.

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitations associated with chronic inflammatory response due to noxious particles or gases in the lung. Increasing oxidative stress associated with COPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influencing factors of biomarkers for oxidative stress in retired miners with COPD. Methods: The levels of total peroxide(TPx), total antioxidant capacity(TAC), and oxidative stress index(TPx/TAC ratio, OSI) in plasma as biomarkers for oxidative stress, serum C-reactive protein(CRP) as a biomarker for inflammation, and general characteristics were measured in 93 male subjects with COPD. COPD was defined as post bronchodilator FEV₁/FVC<0.7 by spirometry. Results: Mean levels of TPx(p=0.013), TAC(p=0.010), OSI(p=0.040), and CRP(p=0.024) were higher in current smokers. Levels of TPx(β=0.445, p<0.001), TAC(β=0.490, p<0.001), and OSI(β=0.351, p<0.001) were related to CRP levels, and CRP levels were related to %FEV₁ predicted(β=-0.295, p=0.003) and current smoking(β=0.214, p=0.032). Conclusions: These results suggest that oxidative stress was related to inflammation, and inflammation were related to decreasing %FEV₁ predicted and current smoking in retired miners with COPD.

The land use of the unit watersheds should be maintained appropriately in order to keep the load allotment stable for the management of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). This study classified the land area in four types and analyzed the use of each land type and its changing pattern by calculating the occupation and conversion ratios for the unit watersheds in three river basins. The forest land showed the greatest occupation ratio with 63.0%, followed by the farm land with 23%, the other area with 8.0% and the site area with 6.0% in 2003. The occupation ratio of the site and the other area increased by 0.4% and 0.2% respectively, and that of the farm and the forest land decreased by 0.4% and 0.2% respectively in 2007. The conversion ratio for the site area ranged from 1.65% to 1.97%, for the farm land from -0.47% to -0.33%, for the forest land from -0.10% to -0.04% and for the other area from 0.17% to 1.97%. It can be inferred that the decrease in the farm and the forest land contributed to the increase in the site area and that the increase in the other area was mainly made by the decrease in the forest land. It could be more effective to take into account the changes in the site area and in the forest land in the process of developing the TMDL plans.

This study aims to present the fundamental strategies to improve the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in apartment buildings. To investigate the concentration of indoor air pollutants such as radon, formaldehyde, and VOCs, both the document survey and the field measurement were conducted. In addition, to identify the source of the air pollutants, the laboratory experiment was carried out for various building materials. Finally, the minimum period to be reserved befor3e building occupation to ensure healthy IAQ, which largely depends on the ventilation rates, was simulated using a simple compuer program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. In case of newly-constructed apartment houses, concentrations of formaldehyde, VOCs and radon were found to exceed the standard. Meanwhile, at existing apartment houses, concentrations of VOCs, particularly toluene and xylene, highly exceeded the standasrd level. Concentrations of formaldehyde and radon, however, had been lowered according to the duration of occupation. 2. The laboratory experiment of concentration of pollutants per square meter of building material surface area showed that radon gas was much emitted from the gypsumboard; formaldehyde from flooring and wallpaper; and VOCs from paints and kitchen furnishings. The emission rates of formaldehyde and VOCs were proportional to air temperature. 3. According to the simulation of the minimum period to be reserved before occupation, newly-constructed airtight houses required about 190-200 days, and naturally ventialted houses with fully-open-windows required about 20-45days, in order to keep the level of radon gas lower than standard. Therefore, with the current practice, the date of occupation should be delayed for about 15 days.

This study aimed to propose the approach to identify and solve the problems by analyzing the present occupation index of librarians and the future occupation index of librarians after 10 years through the comparison with other jobs. In accordance with the investigation on the LIS students and librarians, the present wage level and the estimated wage level after 10 years were lower than that for other jobs and the employment demand was also lower. Both the students(58.4%) and the librarians(64.2%) considered that the number of full-time employment and the turnover were lower than other jobs. As a result of the analysis, first, this paper proposed to change part-time workers into full-time workers for improving the low wage issue of librarians. Second, '1 public library per 50,000 citizen' was suggested to increase the employment of librarians. Finally, it is proposed to cancel the project to contract out the operation of public libraries and BTL implementation.
