The aim of this study was to examine whether health promoting behavior was dependent on perceived health status and health attitude in adults, and whether health concern mediated the relationships among these variables. Structural equation modeling was applied to test a model in which perceived health status and health attitude were considered as exogenous variables while health concern as a mediating variable. The participants were 292 adults aged from 20 to 59 and completed the self-report measures. The results of the structural equation model showed that perceived health status and health attitude were positively associated with health concern and health promoting behavior. Health concern mediated the relationships between perceived health status and health promoting behavior, and also health attitude and health promoting behavior. The findings suggest that enhancing health attitude may play important roles to promote health promoting behavior in adults, and the development of various health education for adults in schools, work place, and health and medical organization might promote positive health attitude and health concern. Health education program in connection with preventive health examination also might contribute to activate health promoting behavior.

This experimental research explores the effect of low attention of movie audience on the experience of presence, the degree of emotional touch, and memory about movie contents, because of indiscreet use of smart phone. This study measured and analyzed the experience frequency of presence, degree of emotional touch and recognition memory about movie contents by self report survey, after showing 2 subject groups consisting of 83 University students, one with not manipulated attention, the other with manipulated attention, using smart phone intentionally. This research found that the subjects exposed to the movie with not manipulated attention showed more presence experiences, and higher degree of emotional touch than the subjects exposed to the movie with manipulated attention. However meaningful difference of recognition memory was not discovered between the 2 groups. The result of this research can have a meaning because proceeding studies about presence effect of movie mainly dealt with the effect of HDTV, 3D image, stereo sound on the experience of presence, arousal, pleasure of movie audience and it is difficult to find studies about the relation between attention of movie audience and the experience of presence, emotional touch, and memory.

The purpose of this study was to assess the present status of the course content of Fundamental Nursing in accordance with the study objectives which were developed for the National Qualifying Examination by the first Faculty-Workshop in January, 1999 and the study objectives as related to other Nursing courses. The study sample included all schools of nursing and the members of the faculty for Fundamental Nursing of seventy schools(66.7%), out of the target population of 105, responded to a questionnaire which was developed by the research team. The collected data were analyzed by frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviation using the SAS(Statistical Analysis System). The results are as follows : 1) According to this survey the course content of Fundamental Nursing as described in the study objectives for the National Examination, 223(86.77%) study objectives were included in the course of Fundamental Nursing by more than 70% of the schools of nursing, But twenty-three of the study objectives are not included by $30{\sim}50%$ of the schools of nursing. They consider this content to be taught in other courses. The study objectives, which less than 50% of the schools reported as being included in their course in Fundamental Nursing were, all study objectives for 'nursing assessment(communication)', 'nursing assessment (physical examination)', 'record and report', 'sex', and 'use of computer program for nursing diagnosis' and 'use of computerized nursing planning program' 2) Items that were not included in the study objectives for Fundamental Nursing but were included in course content for over 50% of the schools included, 'health of individual, family, community', 'change of nursing practice'. 'professionality of nursing' and all of the study objectives belonging to 'loss and grief' and 'nursing during all stages of surgical operations'. We hope that these results will be helpful in modifying the study objectives for the National Examination as developed by the first Faculty-Workshop and recommend the need for continuous survey research to produce content that is in accordance with study objectives and a National Examination that reflects the content of Fundamental Nursing.

This paper summarizes the results of the government R&D funding for ICT SMEs over the past five years, and compares the differences in R&D performance of the government funding methods (grant and loan). Two major ICT SMEs funding programs were examined, and the data used in the comparison were based on the performance analysis report published by the MSIP (Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning) every year. Considering that the projects' conductors were SMEs and that the R&D stages were in development research, the comparison categories were the number of patents and employment (or jobs) positions created, and commercialization success rate and its sales. Comparative analysis results proved that the SME R&D programs were funded with grants had excellent technological achievements in terms of the number of patent applications and registrations. On the other hand, SME R&D programs that were funded by the government loans had relatively higher economic and social achievements, such as employment effects and commercialization sales. However, it was difficult to come to a comparative conclusion on the category of commercialization success rate between the two programs. As the result, this paper provides suggestions for the direction and policy of the government financial support for ICT SME R&D.

Using the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child(UNCRC) as a frame of reference, this study examined South and North Korean children's rights as reported in the UNCRC and the pattern of changes in the reports depending on the period in which the reports were written. For this purpose, we reviewed Article 1 of the Convention to see what age range the South and North Korean governments, respectively, specify to define a child. We also analyzed the method and attitude of how each Korean government acknowledges the rights of children in the four general principles of the Convention("non-discrimination", "the best interests of the child", "the right to life, survival, and development" and "respect for the views of the child"). The results showed that there was asymmetric content between South and North Korea in the four general principles of the Convention. Both South and North Korea lack a sense of respect for the views of children. There were also differences in the rights of children depending on the distinct characteristics of each Korea. In South Korea, it is important to guarantee the rights of multicultural children and provide a plan for child safety. On the other hand, North Korea has emphasized that they provide the necessities of life and free education to children. Both Koreas have continuously submitted their reports and showed improvement in understanding the rights of children in each report. We conclude that it is essential for South and North Korea to build common ground in their respective contents on children and to establish a foundation of normative standards in the path to prepare for reunification. Moreover, we also conclude that South and North Korea should work collaboratively to reach mutual consent to achieve these goals.

Introduction: In aged people, stroke incidence is increased. But standardized experimental animal protocol study for the research of stroke therapy is rare. There is little report on the success rate of cerebral artery occlusion model using standardized Nylon thread length of precise thread end-size controlled. Method: In this study, the operator intended the occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCA) using $0.18{\pm}0.02mm$ end 5-0 Nylon thread. Middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced for 60min under isoflurane anesthesia. After 60min, the operator removed the Nylon thread and reperfusion was induced for 23hrs. The mice was killed 23hrs after reperfusion and infarction area of brain was confirmed by 1.5% TTC (2,3,5-tryphenyl tetrazolium chloride) staining. Results: According to end size and insert length of Nylon thread, Middle cerebral artery occlusion (n=50), internal carotid artery occlusion (n= 14), distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (n= 36), anterior cerebral artery (n= 1) were induced. And no infarction (n= 50) was observed. Conclusion: According to weight of mice, the operator induced reversible cerebral artery occlusion model by different insert length (30.0~36.9g : 9.0mm, 37.0~40.0g : 9.5mm) of Nylon thread. Success of cerebral artery occlusion model was confirmed by checking infarction area using TTC staining. The success rate (66.9%, 101/151) of reversible cerebral artery occlusion model in the mouse and the operational conditions are shown.

The purpose of this study was to examine what kind of images were presented on movie stars in the newspaper. For the purpose, we classified the time period according to the movie industry and media trend, selected representative stars by period, and collected 798 related articles reported in newspapers. As a result of analyzing the reporting trend, domestic and foreign topics, news format, and gender difference in collected movie star articles, it was found that the image of movie stars reproduced in newspaper articles had mostly neutral images that do not represent specific gender. Since the 2000s, news coverage was changed to reproduce various images rather than being fixed to particular images, and the subject of report became more diversified through comparison of domestic and foreign topics. In addition, articles in the form of book review decreased and the interview-type articles increased in number, and in the case of male movie stars, the proportion of articles based on works was high in comparison to female movie stars. This study has significance in that it explored the changes in the process of reproducing star images diachronically from the initial stage of stars to the modern times. And it is hoped that this study will serve as basic data for the follow-up studies on the process of reproducing various images in the multi-media era.

The leave of Polygonum tinctorium (LPT) have been used for centuries as a traditional medicine and as a food ingredient and natural dye. The aim of the current study was to develop high-value added products using LPT. Hot water extract (HWE) and ethanol extract (EE) of LPT were prepared, respectively, and their bioactivity was evaluated. The extraction ratio for the HWE was 27.6%, which was two-fold higher than that of the EE. The contents of total polyphenol in the HWE and total sugar in the EE were 51.2 mg/g and 297.8 mg/g, respectively. The total flavonoid and reducing sugar contents were similar in the extracts, irrespective of the extraction solvent. The HWE did not show antimicrobial activity in a disc-diffusion assay, but the EE showed strong growth inhibition against gram-positive bacteria. The EE exhibited stronger DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities and reducing power than those of the HWE. The HWE was particularly effective as a scavenger of nitrite ($RC_{50}$ of $6.0{\mu}g/ml$). In an antithrombosis activity assay, the EE showed significant anticoagulation activity as determined by an extended blood coagulation time (thrombin time, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time), in addition to platelet aggregation activity. The HWE also showed platelet aggregation inhibitory activity. This report provides the first evidence of antithrombosis activities of LPT. Our results suggest that LPT has potential as a new antioxidant and antithrombosis agent.
