Background and objectives : Social phobia is a nervous anxiety characterized by one or more constant fear in social activity or specific situation which causes serious damage to individual's social functions leading to chronic functional impairment when it is untreated. The objective of this study is to report a new finding of a possible subtype of social phobia according to a case survey and study of sufferers found via online support group. Methods : A single case review using survey and interview on patient was employed. Following a no-treatment baseline period for examination and interview, biweekly acupuncture treatment with interview for in-depth examination was delivered for 6months. Also, for in-depth investigation of peripheral vision phobia, survey questionnaire was done by the members of a Korean support group on on-line social group forum. Result : A new type of social phobia which has not yet been reported nor mentioned in any journals, namely called 'peripheral vision phobia' has been identified. Biweekly acupuncture treatment reached a comfort state of mental status on one case of patient with social phobia. Limitation : Due to the shift of environment on patient's part, the termination of the school session at where the phobia occur the most, the reoccurrence of the phobia is yet to be examined. Also, the generalization of the new type of phobia as a subtype only by reviewing one case alone with survey interview of on-line social group has limitation. Conclusion : The result of the case review suggests that 'peripheral vision phobia' is strictly concentrated on malfunctioning of peripheral vision without functional or organic hindrance of pupils or of any parts of eyes including eye muscles due to peripheral vision phobia. PVP is similar to social phobia and it may be a subtype of social phobia, however, since etiology, diagnosis, medical treatment methods are under researched, investigation is yet to be done.

This case focuses on WE CAN Cookies, a social enterprise in South Korea that was founded in 2001 with the support of the Korean Roman Catholic Church. WE CAN Cookies specializes in the making of high quality organic cookies. As a nonprofit organization that uses a labor force of mostly mentally disabled workers, the company faces many challenges that normal companies do not experience. The company had to initially overcome the social prejudice that the handicapped cannot make good cookies. Despite the religious background and social agenda of the company, it started making inroads as a cookie-making business only after its managers, including the nuns who run it began adopting modern management philosophies and practices. The WE CAN Cookies case illustrates three main marketing-related concepts: One, WE CAN Cookies is a good example of how social enterprises face a broader spectrum of challenges when compared to conventional profit-seeking enterprises. Two, WE CAN Cookies demonstrates that social enterprises need flexibility in formulating their business strategies. Even though WE CAN Cookies is subject to many constraints, as a social enterprise it can also take advantage of new opportunities for obtaining support from the government and from the private sector. Three, WE CAN Cookies shows that these types of operations need to create greater balance in their social and business competencies to ensure the long term viability. Social enterprises are certified by governments with the stated goal of improving the lives and the wellbeing of special interest group. As important as achieving these objectives are, social enterprises also must additionally be able to build their operational capabilities not only in manufacturing but also in functions such as marketing.

이 연구는 사회적기업이 소수자 보호정책으로 어떠한 의미를 가지는가에 대해 본질적으로 접근하였다. 특히, 소수자정책에 많은 영향을 미치는 북한이탈주민들과 사회적기업과의 관계를 중심으로 논의하였다. 연구결과를 요약해 보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 북한이탈주민들이 대한민국 사회에 적응하는데 가장 큰 어려움은 경제활동, 사회적 이질감인데, 사회적기업은 놓은 효과성을 가진 정책이라는 점을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 기존의 사회적기업이 지나치게 중앙정부 위주로 진행되어져 창의와 발전이 결여된 지원 모형이였다는 점이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 민관협동형 정책모형으로 변화해야 한다는 교훈을 얻을 수 있었다. 셋째, 사회적기업은 단순한 경제활동 수준을 넘어, 사회, 문화, 생활, 언어 등의 사회교육의 순기능을 가지고 있으므로 북한이탈주민들의 사회적기업 참여를 일정부문 의무화해야 한다는 교훈을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 소수자정책으로써 북한이탈주민과 사회적기업의 관계를 설명하는데 이론적으로 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This is designed to study the effect of weight-support walking training through motor learning on motor functions of children with cerebral palsy, in particular their activity of daily living and balance. Methods: Thirteen children with spastic cerebral palsy, at gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) levels III~IV, underwent treadmill walking training. It used principles of weight support, 4 times a week for 7 weeks, 10 minutes at a time, before and after neurodevelopmental physical therapy. Everyday functions were measured using Functional Independence Measure for Children (Wee-FIM). The ability to keep their balance was measured using electronic measuring equipment from good balance system and the assessment was made before and after the experiment. Results: There were significant differences (p<0.05) between pre and post experiment levels of functional independence in everyday life, in self-care activities, mobility, locomotion and social cognition. With regard to changes in standing balance, there were significant differences before and after the experiment (p<0.05) in GMFCS level III. There was a reduction in the agitation velocity in the x- and y-axes which measures the left-to-right shaking; in GMFCS level IV, velocity moment was reduced. Conclusion: Walking training using a treadmill can help improve the everyday activity and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It can also be served as a useful purpose as a method of intervention in pediatric care.

Amputation changes the lives of patients and their families. Consequently, the patient must adapt to altered body function and image. During this adaptation process, psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder, can occur. The psychological difficulties of patients with amputation are often accepted as normal responses that are often poorly recognized by patients, family members, and their primary physicians. Psychological problems can interfere with rehabilitation and cause additional psychosocial problems. Therefore, their early detection and treatment are important. A multidisciplinary team approach, including mental health professionals, is ideal for comprehensive and biopsychosocial management. Mental health professionals could help patients set realistic goals and use adaptive coping styles. Psychiatric approaches should consider the physical, cognitive, psychological, social, and spiritual functions and social support systems before and after amputation. The abilities and limitations of physical, cognitive, psychological, and social functions should also be considered. To improve the patient's adaptation, psychological interventions such as short-term psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation, biofeedback, and group psychotherapy can be helpful.

This study was performed to identify the roles of residents for the environmentally sound and sustainable development, taco-polis(kologisches Bauen), eco-village and Symbiotic Housing. These buildings will achieve energy efficiency through design strategies such as passive solar heating system, natural cooling and day lighting. Their infrastructure will feature parking on the periphery, extensive pedestrian paths, outdoor ground lights that preserve stellar visibility, and environmentally sensitive technologies such as low writer use fixtures. And they will restore biodiversity while protecting the wildlife, wetlands, forests, soil, air and water. Their houses wile be designed to support home-based occupations, offering high-speed Internet access and other options to promote a localized, sustainable economy. To support and encourage the evolution of sustainable settlements, it is necessary to prepare constructing the physical facilities and the social functions relating with residents. The roles of residents are important to provide a high Quality lifestyle and to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. This study concluded the four main roles of residents for the sustainable of Eco-polis and Ecovillage. 1. Residents assist transition towards a sustainable society as eco-conscious consumers in the planning stage. 2. Residents live in a ecological way for the sustainable ecovillage. 3. Residents exchange information and education for increasing the community glue as a communication network. 4. Residents support and transmit their cultural vitality and tradition for the next generation. So, users are expected to encourage resident's participation in the planning, design, ongoing management and maintenance of the sustainable ecovillage.

본 연구는 중장년에게 있어 성공적 노화의 예측요인으로 입증된 신체적 인지적, 심리적, 사회적 요인과 성공적 노화 간의 구조적 관계를 통해 중장년에게 의미있는 성공적 노화의 선행요인을 규명하는 것을 연구목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 신체적 인지적, 심리적, 사회적 요인의 대표변인으로 주관적 건강상태, 인지기능, 자아존중감, 사회적 지지를 상정하였다. 연구대상은 대한민국 대표 기업공시채널 KINO(http://kind.krt.co.kr)에 등록된 유가증권, 코스닥, 코넥스 기업에 종사하는 근로자 359명을 대상으로 하였으며, SPSS 23.0과 Amos 21.0, M-plus 6.12 프로그램을 사용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 본 연구에서 설정한 성공적 노화 간의 구조적 관계에 대한 모형의 적합도는 RMSEA=.059, TLI=.932, CFI=.944로 적합도 지수의 기준값을 모두 충족시키는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 주관적 건강상태와 사회적지지만이 성공적 노화에 영향을 미치는 예측변수로 나타났으나 인지기능과 자아존중감은 성공적 노화에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 신체적, 심리적, 사회적 요인 중 사회적 요인인 사회적 지지가 중장년의 성공적 노화에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 성공적 노화에 있어 기존 선행연구와 배치되는 결과이며 생애주기에 따라 성공적노화에 미치는 영향요인이 다름을 시사한다. 즉, 중장년은 사회적 관계망 내에서 자신의 역할을 인식하며, 일을 통해 본인의 정체성과 의미를 확립하고 있음에 따라 사회적 지지가 성공적 노화를 촉진시키는데 있어 가장 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 무엇보다도 우리나라의 상황적 맥락이 반영된 중장년을 대상으로 성공적 노화의 모형을 탐색하였다는데 큰 의의가 있다.

There is a growing tendency within old towns to analyze spatial characteristics to initiate various sustainable development programs and systems to make high-quality small-medium local cities. Professional research institutions in Korea are looking for new guidance into making housing regeneration policies and for trying to merge different functions. But there is a lack of research on support indicators and legal systems for residents. The purpose of this study will analyze the support systems and indicators of France for declined residential blocks in urban. Because the government of France have developed the policy for declined housing blocks. And they are establishing support systems to improve the quality of the residential environment and the resettlement of existing residents. First, this research study the condition of declined housing blocks in Paris. Secondly, support systems and policies of PNRU and PNRQAD are investigated and analyzed. Finally, cases by PNRU and PNRQAD are analyzed to derive the strength of this system. As a result, the following implications are derived. 1) the strengthening of social support, 2) the establishment of specialized national institutions and indicators, 3) increasing citizen participation, 4) Sustainable research program for neighborhood regeneration.
