Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the differences in employment status and self assessed health in Korea. Methods: We analyzed 4 year follow-up data generated by the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS), which was conducted on 1,207 men and 582 women who had undergone a change in employment status. The study subjects were placed into 1 of the following 4 groups based on their employment history; Non-precarious workers, Precarious to non-precarious workers, Non-precarious to precarious workers and Precarious workers. Logistic regression was then used to examine the relationship between the changes in employment status and self assessed health. Results: When males were considered, self assessed health was better among the precarious to non-precarious workers (OR 1.58, 95% CI=1.57-1.60) and the precarious workers (OR 1.29, 95% CI=1.28-1.30) than in the non-precarious workers, after adjusting for age, socioeconomic status (education level, occupational class, marital status, average equivalent household income and average number of hours worked per week), health behavior (smoking, drinking and exercise) and medical service access (regular medical examination, have chronic disease or hospitalized within 1 year). When female workers were considered, the precarious to non-precarious workers (OR 1.89, 95% CI=1.86-1.92), non-precarious to precarious workers(OR 1.24, 95% CI=1.23-1.26) and precarious workers (OR 1.27, 95% CI=1.25-1.28) all reported poorer health than the non-precarious workers after adjusting for the aforementioned factors. Conclusions: This study showed that changes in employment status were associated with differences in self assessed health among men and women. Specifically, the results of this study showed that a corresponding positive outcome based on self assessed health was greater for employees that changed from precarious to non-precarious jobs and for male employees with precarious jobs., whereas female employees with non-precarious jobs had higher self assessed health. However, additional longitudinal studies on the health effects of employment status should be conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the relative risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) in middle aged adults with different body weights. 155 subjects living in urban Beijing were recruited from 24 neighborhood committees of urban Beijing. They were divided into normal weight, overweight and obese groups according to their BMIs. The general information of the subjects was collected using an interview-administered questionnaire. Standard procedure was followed to measure subject's weight, height and waist. Biochemical parameters (total cholesterol (TC), low- and high­density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C ; HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and fasting glucose) and blood pressure were also determined. The results indicated that the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HDL-C of obese group was lower than that of the normal weight group. Fasting glucose of obese males was significantly higher than that of normal weight males. No significant difference of fasting glucose was found among female groups. No significant difference of TG was found among male groups, while TG of overweight and obese females was both significantly higher than normal weight females. There was no significant difference of TC and LDL-C among normal weight, overweight and obese groups in both males and females. The MS rate of obese males was significantly higher than the normal weight and overweight males, as was the female. The relative risk of MS in obese group was about 11 times higher (OR=11.249, $95\%CI$ = 3.812 - 33.191) than the normal weight group after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, drinking, family economic level and education status. It is concluded that obesity contributed to lower HDL-C, hypertriglyceride, hypertension and MS after controlling the effects of age, gender, socioeconomic status, alcohol drinking and smoking. Obese individuals have a higher risk of having MS than their normal weight counterparts.

BACKGROUND: The changes in the climatic conditions have brought potentially significant new challenges, most critical are likely to be its impact on local livelihoods, agriculture, biodiversity and environments. Water induced disasters such as landslides, floods, erratic rain etc., are very common in developing countries which lead to changes in biological, geophysical and socioeconomic elements. The extent of damages caused by natural disasters is more sever in least developing countries. However, disasters affect women and men differently. In most of the cases women have to carry more burden as compared to their male counterpart during the period of disasters. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study examines the impact of disasters on the local livelihood especially agriculture and income generating activities of women in three districts of Nepal. The study uses the primary data collected following an exploratory approach, based on an intensive field study. The general findings of the study revealed that women had to experience hard time as compared to their male counterpart both during and after the disaster happen. Women are responsible for caring their children, collecting firewood, fetching water, collecting grass for livestock and performing household chores. Whereas, men are mainly involved in out-migration and remained out-side home most of the time. After the disaster occurred, most of the women had to struggle to support their lives as well as had to work longer hours than men during reconstruction period. Nepal follows patriarchal system and men can afford more leisure time as compared to women. During the disaster period, some of the households lost their agricultural lands, livestock and other properties. These losses created some additional workload to women respondent, however at the same time; they learn to build confidence, self-respect, self-esteem, and self-dependency.Although Nepal is predominantly agriculture, majority of the farmers are at subsistence level. In addition, men and women have different roles which differ with the variation in agro-production systems. Moreover women are extensively involved in agricultural activities though their importances were not recognized. Denial of land ownership and denial of access to resources as well as migration of male counterparts are some of the major reasons for affecting the agricultural environments for women in Nepal. CONCLUSION: The shelter reconstruction program has definitely brought positive change in women's access to decision making. The gradual increase in number of women respondent in access to decision making in different areas is a positive change and this has also provided them with a unique opportunity to change their gendered status in society.Furthermore, the exodus out-flow of male counterparts accelerated the additional burden and workload on women.

The aim of the study was to examine levels of satisfaction with health care in North Korea and to identify factors associated with it using a convenience sample of North Korean refugees in China. Data from the 2004 Survey of Health Seeking Behavior of North Korean Households conducted by the Center for Refugee and Disaster Response, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health were used. The study subjects were 273 North Korean refugees whose length of stay in China was less than 3 months. Factor analysis was used to extract factor dimensions from the 12 satisfaction items. Bivariate (t test and ANOVA) and multiple regression analyses were used in examining factors associated with satisfaction with health care use in North Korea Overall, satisfaction level was low ($2.36{\pm}0.36$, score range: 1-5). Of the three-factor dimensions, physician skills scored the highest $(2.93{\pm}0.36)$, followed by drug availability $(2.51{\pm}0.07)$ and general cleanliness $(1.66{\pm}0.55)$. In the multiple regression analysis, having a usual source of care was significantly associated with patient satisfaction. Respondents who identified primary care (section) doctors as their usual source of care tended to be less satisfied than those with the city or county hospital as their usual source of care. County residents tended to report a lower degree of satisfaction with general cleanliness than city residents. Among socioeconomic characteristics, the number of household assets positively predicted satisfaction with drug availability. North Korean residents appear to be dissatisfied with their medical care. It may reflect some inadequacies in the North's universal health care system to meet the healthcare needs of its people.

한국은 합계출산율이 대체수준 이하로 떨어진 1980년대 중반부터 1990년대 중반에 이르기까지 출생성비가 급격하게 상승하는 현상을 경험하였다. 출생성비의 상승은 대구, 부산과 경상북도 및 경상남도를 포함하는 영남 지역에서 두드러졌다. 한국의 출생성비는 1993년과 1994년 정점에 도달한 이후 지속적으로 저하하였으며, 2007년에 이르면 정상수준으로 낮아진 것으로 판단된다. 국제사회에서 한국은 짧은 기간에 출생성비의 저하를 성공적으로 달성한 국가로 널리 인정된다. 그러나 출산순위 및 부모의 사회경제적 지위에 따른 출생성비를 살펴보면 아직도 비정상적으로 높은 출생성비가 관찰된다. 이러한 현상은 영남 지역에서 가장 두드러지게 나타난다. 아직도 일부 지역과 집단에서는 성선별 출산행위가 광범하게 이루어지고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구의 주된 목적은 2009년 출생신고 원자료를 활용하여 어머니의 연령, 출산순위, 부모의 교육수준과 직업 등에 따른 출생성비의 편차를 영남 지역을 대상으로 파악하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 출생성비의 불균형을 초래하는 성선별 출산행위의 설명틀을 적용하여 영남 지역에서 나타나는 출생성비의 집단간 편차를 설명하고자 시도한다. 마지막으로, 이 연구에서는 인공유산에 대하여 가용한 자료가 없다는 점을 감안하여, 1994년, 2005년, 2009년의 세 시점에서 성선별 출산행위에 관한 시뮬레이션 작업이 이루어졌다. 이 시뮬레이션 작업의 결과들은 성감별과 성선별 출산행위가 세 시점에서 얼마나 광범하게 이루어졌고, 아울러 출생성비에 미친 파급효과가 어떠하였는가를 확인해준다.

Korea has successfully achieved a lowered fertility level owing to the strong population control policy and effective family planning program. Along with fertility decline and decreased number of children in family, average number of household members has decreased and nontraditional households such as one person household and households composed of unrelated individuals have prolifirated, even though the absolute number of them are found minimal in Korea. However in recent years several data and survey results suggest that one person households are gradually in the increasing trend. The study aimed at investigating the real state of one person households in Korea and next analyzing the proportional distribution of one person households by a few socioeconomic characteristics, thus providing basic for eatablishing far-singhted population and social welfare policy in the future. Korea has experienced high growth rate of economy through government-led development plans starting from the 1960s. During the past three decades, Korea has shifted from the agricultural state to the industrialized one. In compliance with the economic growth, urbanization and industrialization have brought about rural-to-urban migration and a great bulk of young population migrated to urban areas, who are seeking for educational and job opportunities. Korean society has also been under drastic change in every aspect of life involving norms, tradition, and attitude, etc. Therefore, in spite of the prejudice on 'living alone' still remaining, young people gradually leave parents and home, and further form nontraditional households in urban areas. Current increase in the number of one person households is partly attributable to the increase in high female educational attainment and female participation in economic activities. As the industrial structure in Korea changes from primary into secondary and tertiary industries, job opportunities for service/sales and manufacturing are opened to young female labor force in the process of industrialization. Contrary to the formation of one person households by young people, the aged single households are composed when children in family leave one by one because of marriage, education, employment. In particular, a higher proportion of aged female single households occur in rural areas due to the mortality difference by sex. Based on the data released form the 1990 Population and Housing Census and National Fertility and Family Health Survey in 1985 and 1991, the study tried to examine the state of one person households in Korea. According to Census data, the number of one person households increased to 1, 021, 000 in 1990, comprising 9.0 percent of total households. And the survey reveal that among total 11, 540 households, 8.0 percent, 923 households, are composed of one person households. Generally, the proportion of female single households is greater than that of male ones, and a big proportion of one person households is concentrated in the 25-34 age bracket in urban areas and 65 years and more in rural areas. It is shown than one person householders in urban areas have higher educational attainment with 59.2 percent high schooling and over in 1991, Job seeking proved to be the main reason for leaving home and forming one person households. The number of young female single households with higher education and economic self-reliance are found nil and the study did not allow to analyze the causal realtionship between female education and employment and one person household formation. However more research and deep analysis on the causal facors on one person household formation using statistical method are believed to be necessary.

Purpose - This study aims to (a) analyze local citizens' perception of a local company, the Gwangyang Steel and Iron Company (GSIC); (b) compare the perception toward the local company with that of national citizens' perceptions towards many other unspecified companies, which were surveyed biannually by The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI); and (c) analyze how such companies evaluate perceptions towards them, in relation to citizens' socioeconomic position, such as their education status. Research design, data, methodology - The data were collected using a questionnaire, which was given to a sample of local citizens in cities. To test the hypotheses, factor analyses, a t-test, and an ANOVA were conducted. The total number of respondents was 1798. The data gathered from the respondents of the sample were analyzed using SPSS Win 19.0 software. Perception towards the company was evaluated on the corporate favorite index (CFI). The CFI index shows how positive citizens feel towards a company. It is calculated using five leading factors, consisting of the following: contribution to the economy, productivity, international competitiveness, social contribution, and ethical management. The higher the level of positive feelings exhibited, the closer the index will come to 100. Results - As a result of the analysis, the CFI index towards the GSIC stood at 67.3. The CFI index towards the company is 16.5 points higher than that of the index towards the many other unspecified companies, which were surveyed by the bi-annual KCCI study in the first half of 2011. The other five indexes stood as follows: contribution to the economy, productivity, social contribution, and ethical management was 69.2, 71.2, 64.6, and 58.6, respectively. These indexes are 18.3, 4.6, 27.6, and 35.6, respectively, higher than those found by the KCCI study. However, international competitiveness is 73.0 (9.8 points lower than that of the KCCI study). This survey thus shows that the CFI of the local citizens towards the global company GSIC is very high when compared with the CFI index towards the many other unspecified companies that was determined by the KCCI survey. Conclusions - This survey shows that local citizens have high expectations of economic activity, increasing working opportunities, and regional cooperation projects from the local company, GSIC. In addition, the CFI index towards GSIC evaluates results depending on the respondent's relationship with the company, and their educational status. Respondents, whose family or relatives were working as employees of GSIC, have relatively positive perceptions of GSIC, and respondents with a relatively higher educational status also share positive perceptions. Local citizens expect the profit-making of the company to operate in accordance with management activities, and at the same time, they expect that the wealth generated by the company will return to wider society.

전 세계적인 지구온난화로 인해 태풍의 강도와 규모가 커지고 있고 이로 인한 사회경제적인 피해가 갈수록 증가하고 있는 상황에서 사전에 침수예상지역 및 예상피해규모를 파악하고, 대비하는 일은 아주 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 2003년 부산과 경남지역 연안을 강타한 태풍 Maemi(매미)의 이동경로에 태풍 매미를 비롯하여 Vera(베라)(일본 이세만, 1959), Durian(두리안)(필리핀, 2006) 그리고 2005년 미국을 강타한 허리케인 Katrina(카트리나)의 특성을 갖는 슈퍼태풍의 내습을 가정하여 해운대 해수욕장 인근 도심지역의 침수피해규모를 추정하였다. 태풍별 해수면 상승고는 기존 연구자들의 수치모델링 결과를 토대로 육상표고와 해저수심의 서로 다른 기준면을 통일시킨 후 계산하였고, 항공 LiDAR 자료를 기반으로 GIS 공간분석기술을 이용하여 침수고, 침수면적 및 건물피해액을 추정하였다. 태풍의 강도와 규모가 점점 커지고 있고, 우리나라에도 근년에 Katrina(카트리나)급의 슈퍼태풍이 내습할 가능성이 클 것으로 예상되는 상황에서, 이 연구결과는 연안 도심지역에 대한 해안침수예상도와 범람피난지도를 제작하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

이번 연구는 2013년도 지역사회건강조사 원시자료를 이용하여 만 19세 이상 성인을 대상으로 하였다. 치주질환에 취약한 고혈압 환자를 대상으로 구강건강관리 행태와 라이프 스타일에 주관적 치주건강수준에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 고혈압 환자의 연령이 증가할수록 본인의 치주상태를 건강하다고 인식하고, 기혼에 비해 미혼에서 치주건강수준을 나쁘게 인식하는 것으로 조사되었다. 구강건강과 관련된 라이프 스타일과 구강건강행태도 치주건강 인식에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 본인이 '치주질환이 있다'라고 인식하는 정도에 거주지역은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 고혈압 환자의 주관적 치주건강수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 성별, 연령, 결혼상태, 교육수준, 경제활동 유무, 소득수준, 민간의료보험 가입여부, 라이프 스타일, 구강건강관리 행태에서 점심식사 후 칫솔질, 구강검진 경험, 치석제거 경험으로 나타났다. 연구 결과를 토대로 고혈압 환자의 구강건강관리 행태와 주관적 치주건강수준의 상관관계가 있음이 확인되었다. 향후 단면적 연구보다 치주질환에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 인과성을 규명하는 종단적 연구를 통해 건강한 사람에 비해 치주질환에 취약한 집단의 구강건강증진을 위한 대안 마련이 필요할 것이다.
