  • 의학의 발전과 저출산 현상이 발생하면서 우리 사회는 고령화 시대로 접어들고 있다. 이에 따라 노년의 인구가 점차 증가하고 이는 점차 사회적 문제가 되고 있다. 실버세대를 위한 여가 활동을 위한 필요성이 증가하고 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 실버세대들의 여가활동 유형을 분석해 보았다. 먼저 60세 이상의 연령에서는 TV 시청과 휴식 수면이 가장 높은 여가 활동유형으로 나타났으며, 컴퓨터의 사용에 대한 응답률이 낮지만, 인터넷에 익숙한 $40^{\sim}50$ 세대가 노인층으로 진입할 경우 그 응답률이 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 둘째, 이러한 $40^{\sim}50$대가 노인층으로 진입할 경우 이들을 위한 노인용 유망 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 예측해 보았다.

  • Social requirements are needed for living in an aging society and individual longevity. Among them, improved health and medical cares, appropriate for an aging society are strongly demanded. Human cord blood-derived plasma (hUCP) has recently emerged for its unique anti-aging effects. In this study, we investigated brain rejuvenation, particularly olfactory function, that could be achieved by a systemic administration of young blood and its underlying mechanisms. Older than 24-month-old mice were used as an aged group and administered with intravenous injection of hUCP repetitively, eight times. Anti-aging effect of hUCP on olfactory function was evaluated by buried food finding test. To investigate the mode of action of hUCP, brain, serum and spleen of mice were collected for further ex vivo analyses. Systemic injection of hUCP improved aging-associated olfactory deficits, reducing time for finding food. In the brain, although an infiltration of activated microglia and its expression of cathepsin S remarkably decreased, significant changes of proinflammatory factors were not detected. Conversely, peripheral immune balance distinctly switched from predominance of Type 1 helper T (Th1) cells to alternative regulatory T cells (Tregs). These findings indicate that systemic administration of hUCP attenuates age-related neuroinflammation and subsequent olfactory dysfunction by modulating peripheral immune balance toward Treg cells, suggesting another therapeutic function and mechanism of hUCP administration.

  • Current statistics reveal remarkable prolongation of the average longevity in this country for the past decade. Welfare of the aged is no longer sole concern of the person or/and family. but has aroused social concern on the community and national level. This study was designed to assess social, economic and emotional needs of the aged. and to identify problems they are confronting. Data were gathered through questioning 273 subjects living in Seoul from July 25, to August 31. 19 80. Frequencies and percentile scores were analysed to describe the fact. and the significance of int or-variable differences was tested by Chi-square method. Results are : 1. Majority of the subjects (male : 65.38%). (female : 62.13%)“talk about past experiences”to re-collect their past days, the difference between male and female respondents was not significant. 2. Except few who earn their pocket money (4.21%). majority were doing household errands (34.52% ) and looking after their garnd children (29.26 %). Main sources of their pocket money revealed to be their children (84.02%) and their own savings (24.64% ). Except few (15%)engaged with social activities directly or indirectly. leisure hours are spent in chatting with aged neighbors (44.81%). Highest in the rank order on the joyous moments for the aged revealed to be when the members of family living apart paying a visit (male : 37.5%, female : 63.72%)difference of male and female was significant ( P<0.05). Among female respondents. significant difference between age group was revealed (p<0.05). 3. Majority prefered sin91e houses (84.30% ). as residential environment. the suburban (36.26% ) area was the filet in the rank order : difference between age group and the educational status were not significant. Majority of respondents revealed to have their own room in the house. The first preference was given to live with their children (68.86%). Memory of the past (37.36% )revealed to be the highest in the rank order among the reasons why they dislike moving the house. 4. Majority favored current welfare benefts provided for the old age. however. the ideal way to live at their old age they responded was to live on their own savings (50.54%). 5. Majority revealed to be daunted occasionally (62.27%) by not being less active (34.16%) socially and by poor physical health(29.75%). Male and female differ in the causes of loneliness significantly (P <0.001) : retirement (37.89%) in ale and helpessness (43.05%) in female revealed the highest in the rank order. Majority talk over their feelings with aged neighbors to overcome the loneliness. 6 Majority were in favor of planting and looking after pet animal in the house. however. male and female differ in the kind significantly (p <0.001), 7. Majority think about death and dying occasionally or more (84.11% ). Many of the respondents believes in the life after life (53.49%) : female revealed to be significantly higher (p <0.01). and subjects with christian belief were significantly higher than non-christians (P<0.001). Attitude towards death and dying differs significantly between male and female (P <0. 001) and between christians ans and nonchristians (p <0.001). Highest preference was given to simple funeral (69.85%). Precious heritage that they would pass on to their descendants was onoscience and ethical value(57. 51%) : christian response as the first value was christian belief (52.38%).

  • Objectives: To evaluate the critical environmental factors on healthy-aging of Korean people, we investigated the significant factors influencing health status of septuagenarians living in rural area of Jeonla province, known to be one of the representative longevity regions in Korea. Methods: We divided subjects into healthy group (36M/25F) or poor-health group (26M/73F) based on self-reported health status, body mass index, a number of prescription, and blood test data. General characteristics, physical measurements, lifestyle, dietary behavior and nutrient intake, physical health and mental health data were statistically compared between the two groups. Results: Average age was not different between healthy group and poor-health group in men and women, respectively. In men, significantly favorable factors to health were observed to be higher education, regular exercise, higher grip strength and walking function, body mass index (${\geq}18.5kg/m^2$), moderate frequency of drinking and eating-out, non-smoking, normal red blood cell (RBC) count, higher serum dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS) level, good digestive function and appetite, normal hearing function, regular meals, adequate vegetable and fruit intake, diverse food intake, adequate energy and nutrients (protein, vitamin $B_1$, $B_6$, C and E, folate, niacin, P, Zn and K) intake, higher mini-nutrient status assessment (MNA) score and low level of depression. On the other hand, in women, those were literacy, living arrangement, moderate frequency of drinking, healthy teeth, higher grip strength and walking function, bone mineral density, normal RBC and white blood cell (WBC) count, higher DHEAS concentration, higher MNA score, normal cognition and memory function, having snack and adequate fruit intake. Conclusions: These results could be useful to plan effective strategies to increase health-life expectancy of Korean old people living in rural areas.

  • Objective: Aim of the current comparative study was to evaluate production outputs, reproduction efficiency and functional traits in dual-purpose Fleckvieh and Braunvieh cows, reared under temperate European conditions. Methods: A data-set from 414 Fleckvieh and 42 Braunvieh cows and 799 lactations was analysed. ID tag number, milk yield per milking session, number of steps/interval and milk conductivity were recorded and collected daily using AfiMilk 3.076 A-DU software (Afimilk Ltd., Kibbutz, Israel). Production and milk quality data were taken from the results of the official performance recordings and the reproductive outputs of cows were recorded by the research stations veterinarians. Comparisons between the two genotypes were carried out using the one way analysis of variance protocol, with categorical factor being considered the breed of cows. All the statistical inferences were carried out using Statistica software (StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA). Results: Fleckvieh cows significantly outperformed ($p{\leq}0.05$) the Braunvieh herd, with average milk yields of $5,252.1{\pm}35.79kg$ and $4,897.6{\pm}128.94kg$, respectively. Age at first calving was significantly ($p{\leq}0.01$) influenced by the breed, with Fleckvieh heifers being more precocious ($32.8{\pm}0.29mo$) compared to those of Braunvieh breed ($35.7{\pm}0.84mo$). Reproduction efficiency as defined by the number of inseminations per gestation, calving interval, dystocia, days dry and days open, was not influenced by genotype (p>0.05). Incidences of sub-clinical mastitis, clinical mastitis, lameness and abortions were not influenced by the breed factor (p>0.05). Stay-ability of cows was significantly ($p{\leq}0.001$) influenced by genotype, with Braunvieh cows having an average age at culling of $117.88{\pm}11.78$ months compared to $90.88{\pm}2.89$ months in Fleckvieh. Conclusion: Overall, results have shown that genotype significantly influenced milk yield, age at first calving and longevity.

  • 한국은 6.25, 일제식민통치 및 남북분단, 군사독재 정치로 인해 정체성을 형성한 독자적 국가 이미지를 창출함에 큰 어려움을 겪었다. 현대에는 각종 행사와 K-POP등 한류열풍을 일으키며 한국의 정체성을 찾고 전파하고 있는 중이다. 하지만 한국의 정체성을 대표하는 이미지와 문화상품들이 여전히 부재이기에, 고유문화와 관련된 디자인 콘텐츠 개발 및 전문적인 문화상품 디자인 개발이 필요하다. 프랑스, 일본 등 디자인 강국들은 국가적 디자인 정책 사업에 자국의 전통문화의 가치를 부여할 수 있는 디자인 사업에 집중하는 내용이 국가적 핵심 디자인사업이다. 한국의 전통 콘텐츠도 전문적이고 지속적인 이미지 디자인 개발 및 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 대표적인 길상문화인 오복(五福) 중에서 옛사람과 현대인에 이르기까지 가장 관심을 가지고 염원하는 수복강녕(壽福康寧) 즉 '건강하게 오래 사는 것' 과 관련된 옛사람들의 예술품을 연구하여 이를 통해 문화상품 디자인 적용 및 디자인 콘텐츠의 활용으로 발전시켜 현대의 '100세시대' 라는 트렌드에 맞는 한국의 주체적인 디자인 상품과 이미지를 제작함에 있어 다양성과 방향성을 제시함에 고찰해보고자 한다. 한국의 전통예술품에 나타나는 길상문화 중에서 대표적인 수복강녕의 이미지를 국립민속박물관의 수복(壽福) 관련 특별전에 근거한 이미지들을 중심으로 연구하여, 주요하게 사용된 특징과 의미를 발견하고, 반복되는 패턴 및 문양콘텐츠를 연구하여, 현대적 문화상품디자인에 적용되고 있는 디자인 사례를 조사하여 분석한다. 또한 수복과 관련된 디자인 콘텐츠를 통해 한계점을 알고 활용할 수 있는 방향성을 제시하고자 하였다. 첫째, 문화상품은 디자인 상품 개발 부족, 홍보처와 판매처 부족, 전통문화에 대한 인식부족이라는 한계점을 가지고 있으며 이는 국가적 차원의 정책적 지원과 의식 개혁이 선행되어야 한다. 둘째, 시장의 요구에 맞는 가격의 합리화가 필요하다. 셋째, 실용성을 갖춘 문구류와 생활용품 위주로 전통적 디자인을 활용 및 보급시켜야 문화상품 디자인과 전통관련 콘텐츠가 더욱 쉽게 정착화 되고 보급화 될 수 있다. 넷째, 한국문화사상과 미의식 연구가 바탕이 된 다양한 한국적 이미지의 콘텐츠 개발이 필요하다. 조형적 이미지만 개발할 것이 아니라 디자이너들의 한국적 문화에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 다섯째, 전통적 제작방식과 소재도 현대에 존중받아야 하나, 전통을 소재로 현대적 제작방식의 제품들이 경제성과 내구성도 함께 갖추며 다양하게 개발되어야 한다.

  • Objectives The goal of the present study was to elucidate the characteristics of behavior problems in Sasang typology with child patients. Methods Subjects consisted of 176 (95 boys, 81 girls) children from 36 months to 83 months were diagnosed by two clinical experts in pediatrics and Sasang medicine. There were 22 So-Yang types, 141 Tae-Eum types, and 13 So-Eum types. The behavior problems were measured with Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used for the analysis. Results There were no significant differences between Sasang types among subject's age (F(2, 173)=.190, p=.827) and sex (${\chi}^2$(2, N=176)=1.639, p=.441) as well as their mother's age (F(2, 169)=.060, p=.942) and education level (${\chi}^2$(4, N=172)=.394, p=.983) and their father's age (F(2, 168)=1.184, p=.309) and education level (${\chi}^2$(4, N=172)=5.664, p=.226). So-Yang types ($50.14{\pm}22.35$; $17.27{\pm}8.60$) had higher scores than Tae-Eum types ($38.74{\pm}21.32$; $12.62{\pm}7.98$) in total problems and internalizing problems score of the CBCL, respectively. More specifically, So-Yang types ($5.90{\pm}2.81$; $3.77{\pm}1.90$) had significantly higher depression/anxiety and somatization subscale score than Tae-Eum types ($4.04{\pm}2.73$; $2.30{\pm}2.12$). Scores of So-Yang types were significantly higher than those of CBCL clinical group in depression/anxiety and somatization subscales. Conclusions There were significant differences between child outpatients with different Sasang types, which would be taken into consideration concerning development of Sasang type diagnosis in addition to parenting, treatment, and prevention for children.

  • 폿트에서 벼멸구 성충을 접종하고 buprofezin 처리시기를 달리하였을 때, 접종성충에 미치는 영향 및 약처리시기에 따른 벼멸구 밀도억제효과를 약처리당시의 연령구성과 관련하여 조사하였다. Buprofezin (7.0 g a.i./10 a)은 벼멸구 수컷에 대해서 영향을 미치지 않았으며 갓 우화한 벼멸구암컷에 대해서 수명과 산란수의 감소효과가 있었으나 우화후 3일 이상 경과한 성충의 수명이나 산란수에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며 buprofezin 처리당시의 유충군 밀도는 약처리후 급격히 저하되었다. Buprofezin의 벼멸구개체군 밀도억제효과는 처리약량이 높을수록, buprofezin 처리당시 buprofezin의 약효지속효과내에 노출된 유충군의 비율이 높을수록 좋았는데 buprofezin 7.0 g a.i./10 a 처리의 경우 적정처리시기는 접종 18일후부터 접종후 제1세대 성충이 출현하기 직전까지 약 10일간이었다.

  • A comparison betwen the productivity of Pinus rigida which is native in the Eastern United States, and P. rigitaeda which is F1 hybrid between P. rigida and P. taeda, has been established. For each tree the diameter at breast height (D) and the height of tree (H) were measured in three years. The standard sample trees were down and then weighed each organ. From obtained data the allometric relation between $D_2H$ and dry weight of the trunk (Ws), the branches (Wb) and the leaves (Wl) of P. rigida were approxmated by $$Ws=0.0592 (D^2H)^{0.837}$$ $$Wb=0.0065 (D^2H)^{0.989}$$ $$Wl=0.0447(D^2H)^{0.690}$$ and those of P. rigitaeda were approximated by $$Ws=0.0522 (D^2H)^{0.843}$$ $$Wb=0.0037 (D^2H)^{1.117}$$ $$Wl=0.0207 (D^2H)^{0.856}$$ From the above, the standing crops of above ground of P. rigida were estimated to be as much as 16.93-34.35 ton dry matter per ha, and those of P. rigitaeda were 20.45-45.55 ton per ha. Annual net production was appraised at 8.07-9.35 ton/ha.yr in P. rigida and at 11.59-13.41 ton/ha.yr in P. rigitaeda (1.0:1.4). It is assumed that high productivity of P. rigitaeda stand compared with P. rigida resulted from an increase of the leaf amount with age. Photosynthetic ability under the saturated light of the current and theold leaves of P. rigida were respectively 2.62 and 0.66mg CO2/g. d. wt..hr and those of P. rigitaeda were 1.17 and 0.96mg CO2/g.d. wt.hr. Respiration of the current and the old leaves at $25^{\circ}C$ were 1.00 and 0.90 mg CO2/g. d. wt..hr. in P. rigida and 0.90 and 0.45mg CO2/g.d.wt.hr in P. rigitaeda. It is assumed that photosynthetic longevity of P. rigitaeda leaves was vigorously maintained longer than that of P. rigida.
