Changes the gravity has a significant affect on the immune system. Astronauts experience the gravity changing during spaceflight, especially when launching and landing they experience hypergravity, and during spaceflight they feel microgravity. Both hypergravity and microgravity has an impact to the immune system, but not the same effect. These impacts have been investigated extensively during spaceflight in astronauts and in model experiments conducted on Earth as well. Astronauts during spaceflight feel the hypergravity, psychological stress, fear, high doses of radiation and microgravity. All these factors and changes may affect immune system directly or indirectly.

In many cases, trauma is overcome in a short periodtime, but for some, trauma results in long-term mental health issues such as in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Natural disasters cause different types and extent of damage, meaning the degree of stress experienced also varies. In the case of damage to a house, the impact can be considerable. Therefore, this study examined the trauma experienced by households whose homes were damaged by natural disasters and to confirm the characteristics of psychological trauma. It was confirmed that traumas was greater when a house was damaged, compared with damage to other types of items. In addition, even in the case of trauma occurring, factors that affect the pattern of change to someone's mental state vary depending on the state's classification. And In addition, health services is significantly analyzed in all variables, and it was considered that the provision of basic services related to safety after a disaster is paramount. However, while psychological counseling has a positive effect on short-term traumas that manifests as anxiety and depression, it has an adverse effect on PTSD because of the depth and complexity of the suffering in PTSD, meaning the type of psychological support needs changing.

목적: 본 연구는 한국 청소년의 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관 요인에 따른 주관적 건강상태의 차이를 분석하고, 주요 관련요인을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 분석자료로서 2015~2016년도 한국 청소년 건강행태 온라인조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 분석대상자 수는 중학생 53,791명, 고등학생 50,959명, 총 104,750명이었다. 학생들의 건강수준은 주관적 건강상태를 기준으로 건강집단과 비건강집단으로 구분하였다. 건강수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 성별, 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관이 검토되었다. 이들 요인 간 건강집단과 비건강집단의 비율차이 검증을 위해 표본설계 정보를 반영한 Rao-scott 카이제곱검정을 실시하였다. 또한 주관적 건강수준에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보고자 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 및 결론: 주관적 건강수준은 양친부모와 살지 않은 경우, 모의 교육수준이 낮을 때, 주관적 가정경제수준이 낮을수록 낮았다. 음주군, 고강도운동이나 근력운동을 실천하지 않는 군, 과체중이나 비만인군에서 주관적 건강수준이 낮았다. 또한 스트레스나 우울감 등 부정적인 감정이나 행복감을 느끼지 못할 때도 주관적 건강수준은 낮았다. 아침을 결식하거나 탄산음료, 고카페인음료, 패스트푸드 등의 비건강식품을 자주 섭취하는 군에서도 주관적 건강수준은 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 한국 청소년들에게서 건강 불평등(health inequalities)은 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인, 식습관 등 여러 요인들로부터 제기되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 요인들을 충분히 반영하여 청소년들이 건강해 질 수 있는 다각적 접근 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

Self-administered questionnaires were provided to 1000 university students from Gwangju and the Chonnam area from 2007 October 8th to 30th. The collected data was used to conduct comparative and descriptive statistical analysis: factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, $x^2-test$ and one-way ANOVA. The main findings are as follows: Firstly, in relation to perceived house values, students identified three factors as important: pursuit of convenience, disposition toward individuality-orientation and consciousness of others. The respondents regarded convenience as very important, especially in regard to one's safety, health and location of amenities. Secondly, cluster analysis based on perceived house value revealed passive and energetic types. Students in the energetic type exhibited a tendency to prefer convenience, independence, and consciousness of others. Finally in terms of housing satisfaction, the respondents identified four factors as important: house quality, neighborhood environment, local socio-psychological environment, and location.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the association between psychosocial work environment and depressive symptoms among Korean teachers. Methods: Data on 235 elementary school teachers and 341 middle and high school teachers was obtained from the 2014 Korean Working Condition Survey. The effect of psychosocial work environment on depressive symptoms was determined by multiple logistic regression analyses. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 18 % in elementary school teachers and 24 % in middle and high school teachers. When adjusted for demographics and other socio-psychological and environmental factors, 'social community at work' served as a protection factor for Korean teachers' depressive symptoms. In addition, 'cognitive demands' in elementary school teachers and 'social support from supervisors' in middle and high school teachers were found to be predictors of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Interventions to increase 'social community at work' and 'social support from supervisors', and to decrease 'cognitive demands' may be helpful for Korean teachers at risk of depression.
