The purpose of this study was to explore the personal experiences of businesswomen regarding appearance management and their body image. To achieve this, diverse perspectives were employed, including critical, practical, and positive body image perspectives. Interviews were conducted with 17 Korean businesswomen with more than 10 years of work experience. The data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach to understand their lived experiences of appearance management and body image. The participants acknowledged that appearance is important in the workplace - more so for women than for men. They commented that appearance may play an important role in displyaing social attractiveness to strangers, but other elements of social attractiveness such as liveliness or social skills take prominence in established relationships. Businesswomen, particularly those whose professions involve the display of appearance, are more likely to engage in aesthetic labor or the unpaid labor of managing their physical appearance in order to meet expectations at work. In general, however, these women considered appearance management to be a practice of self-care which seems to demonstrate their positive body image. This study has significance in that it strived to understand the subjective, lived experiences of businesswomen, including their thoughts and emotions related to appearance management and body image.

오늘날 워크맨, 모비일폰, 노트북PC, PDA와 같은 제품들은 우리 몸과 함께 이동하고, 인터넷과 같은 가상헤계에서는 아바타(Avatar)라는 우리의 분신이 사이버상에서 우리들 육체를 대신해 행동하고 있다. 이러한 제품들은 우리 인간의 몸과 관련된 것들이며, 이렇게 인간의 몸에 물리적으로 붙으며 아울러 정신적 결합의 의미를 가지는 것을 인간과 제품의 결합이라 할 때에, 이러한 제품들을 현실과 가상을 포괄한 인간과 제품의 결합관계로서 접근하여 알아볼 필요성이 있다. 연구결과로서 고대로부터 지금 현재까지 인간의 몸과 결합한다고 하는 제품들을 꾸준히 발견할 수 있었고, 최근에 와서 그 양상은 긴밀한 관계로서 결합과 이동성향이 강하게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 이러한 배경에는 사회문화적으로 이분법적 사고의 붕괴, 혼성모방, 사이버문화, 테크노문화, 정보유목민개념 등이 나옴에 따라 인간과 기계의 구분이 모호해지는 현상과, 제품이 소형화되고 인간을 흉내 모방하거나 네트워크화되어 인간과의 결합성향이 더욱 가속화되는 변화에 있다. 따라서 상호간 결합성향이 더욱 가속화되는 변화에 있다. 따라서 상호간 결합성향이 짙어감에 따라 인간의 몸과 제품을 하나로 바라보아 신체적, 정신적측면, 제품적 특성을 모두 포용한 가장 적절한 복합체로서 접근하는 상호결합적 관점으로서의 변화가 필요하다. 상호결합제품은 인간의 정신, 육체와 전적, 부분적으로 결합하여 인간의 몸을 중심으로 물리적 안착을 하여 지속적 접촉을 가지는 것이라 정의할 수 있다. 그 결과 이동성을 가지는 고대의 도구들은 단순이 인간의 기능확장에 머무르고 신체와 관련된 결합들이 많았으나, 현재로 올수록 신체와 정신에 동시결합하는 제품들이 많아지고 있다. 이러한 제품들은 인간의 몸과 결합방식별로 여러가지 형태로 결합하고 있으며, 기능이 중층화되고 인간의 몸과 물리적으로 가까와지거나 커뮤니케이션형태가 고도화되고, 기존에 인간의 몸에 잇던 제품들을 통해 재발생되는 형식을 취하고 있다. 또한 제품들간에 적외선, 무선통신 같은 방식을 토해 교신하고 있으며, 외형발산성향이 강하여 장신구나 옷과 같이 변하고, 가상아바타의 경우 인간의 육체를 모방하고 인간의 행동을 대신하는 특징을 가지고 있다.

GMT secondary mirror system consists of 7 segmented adaptive mirrors. Each segment consists of a thin shell mirror, actuators and a reference body. The thin shell has a few millimeters of thickness so that it can be easily bent by push and pull force of actuators to compensate the wavefront disturbance of light due to air turbulence. The one end of actuator is supported by the reference body and the other end is adapted to this thin shell. One of critical role of the reference body is to provide the reference surface for the thin shell actuators. Therefore, the reference body is one of key components to succeed in development of GMT ASM. Recently, Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and University of Arizona (UA) has signed a contract that they will cooperate to develop the first set of off-axis reference body for GMT ASM. This project started August 2021 and will be finished in Dec. 2022. The reference body has total 675 holes to accommodate actuators and 144 pockets for lightweighting. The rear surface has a curved rib shape with radius of curvature of 4387 mm with offset of 128.32mm. Since this reference body is placed just above the thin shell so that the front surface shape needs to be close to that of thin shell. The front surface has a concave off-axis asphere, of which radius of curvature is 4165.99 mm and off-axis distance is about 1088 mm. The material is Zerodur CTE class 1 (CTE=0.05 ppm/oC) from SCHOTT. All the actuator holes and pockets are machined normal to the front surface. It is a very complex challenging optical elements that involves sophisticated machining process as well as accurate metrology. After finishing the fabrication of reference body in KRISS, it will be shipped to UA for final touches and finally sent to Adoptica in Italy, in early 2023. This paper presets the development plan for the GMT ASM Reference Body and relevant fabrication and metrology plans.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between body satisfaction and appearance enhancement behavior of college students. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 234 college students in Cheong-ju area, Korea. Frequency, descriptive analysis, $x^2$ and t-tests were used for data analysis. Male students were generally satisfied with their height but not with their weight, while female students were not satisfied with their height and weight. There were significant gender differences in satisfaction with their skin color: male students were mostly satisfied with their skin color other than female students. The body satisfaction degree of college students depended on gender: the male students showed more satisfaction with their physical condition than the female students. Of the college student's improving-appearance behaviors such as face-lifting by plastic surgery, make-up by cosmetics and skin care, their preferable choice depended on their gender. When purchasing clothes, they considered if the clothes could cover their defects of their body line and improve their physical appearance. The levels of body satisfaction were significantly different according to their appearance enhancement behaviors.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of body fat on thermophysiological responses and subjective sensations under hot environment. Fifteen female college students volunteered as subjects. Subjects were organized into three groups - low body fat group(L group : less than 20% of body fat), medium body fat group(M group : 20%~30% of body fat) and high body fat group(H group : More than 30% of Body fat). The experiment was carried out in a climate chamber of $32^{\circ}C$, 60%RH with the repeat of having 'Exercise' and 'Rest' period. The results of this study are as follows ; Rectal temperature maintained higher in M group and L group than in H group in the period of exercise 1. High body fat was so effective in keeping the core temperature, it seems that as was usually the case in cold environment. The mean skin temperature was the lowest value in H group but the ratio of mean skin temperature change was clearly high value in H group. The above facts indicated that thermophysiological response occurs rapidly in H group. Blood pressure, pulse rate and metabolic rate of H group showed the highest values and those of L group showed the lowest value in all period of experiment. Effective of sweating rate was higher in H group than other groups. In subjective sensations, The H group felt more pleasant and comfortable than M group. With these results in mind, people of H group responses more actively for thermal regulation in a hot environment, and these leads H group to feel more pleasant and comfortable.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in body fat distribution between obese boys and girls in high school and the relationship between the precent of body fat and the Broca Index. The survey of data was conducted from November 3rd to the 11th in 1997. The data were analyzed by the use of a mean, standard deviation and a Pearson's correlation coefficient. Measurements of the percentage of body fat and lean body mass were made by a Bioelectrical Impedence while height, weigh and the Broca index were measured by a fatness measuring system. First, measurements of height, weight and the Broca index were made by a fatness measuring system on 1,125 1st year students and 1,076 2nd year students. The result of measurements, 216 obese boys and 100 obese girls appeared to have above 10% of the Broca index. The result of this study can be summarized as follows: 1) Obese boys and girls were grouped by the level of the Broca index as follows: boys, 110-less than 120 60.0%, 120-less than 130 20.8%, 130-less than 140 11.1%, above 140 7.4%. ; girls, 110-less than 120 44.4%, 120-less than 130 32.0%, 130-less than 140 13.0%, above 140 11.0%. 2) Obese boys and girls were grouped by level of the percentage of body fat by Bioelectrical Impedence as follows: boys, less than 20% 5%, 20%-less than 25% 34.7%, above 25% 33.8% ; girls. less than 25% 15.0%, 25%-less than 30% 43.0%, above 30% 42.0%. 3) In obese boys the Broca index score appeared to be positively related to body weight(r = .741, p<.001), the percent of body fat(r=.604, p<.001), lean body mass(r=.375, p<.001), body fluid(r=.445, p<.001l). On the other hand the percent of body fat was not a significant correlation of lean body mass (r= -.074), body fluid(r= -.073). 4) In obese girls, the Broca index score appeared to be positively related to body weight(r= .693, p<.001), the percent of body fat(r=.645, p<.001), lean body mass(r=.531, p<.001), body fluid(r=.532, p<.01), and the percent of body weight score appeared to be positively related to lean body mass(r=.206, p<.01), body fluid(r=.207, p<.01).

This study analyzed descriptions about dots, lines, and sides which are used as a basic elements to express geometric figures as followings: -In the aspect of formative art, dots form images and feelings through their concurrence when make a slight move to coordinates. The concurrence can bring out either positive or negative images; -Lines have unlimited variation as a core measure in body art. They can make optimal effects with different lines such as straight and curved lines of human body; -Sides express not only effects of texture and perspective but also of space and solid by color effects. Expressive characteristics and geometric shapes can be classified by tattoo, henna and body painting: First, colorful tattoos are favored by Caucasian and original tattoos are mostly used by yellow and colored races in the way of scarification to get decorative effects. Recently, a rapid cycle of fashion change in tattoo figures has developed a tentative method of tattooing and a variety of decoration methods. It has made it a lot easier to change a pattern of a tattoo. Tattoos are now popular among people because they no longer have to suffer from pains when they get their body tattooed for a long time. Since tattoos boast their unique beauty which consists of most dynamic and attractive images among the types of body art. It will be one of the most favored make-up methods in the nearest future. Second, geometric designs used in henna include crosses, dots, straight lines, triangles, date palms, and so on. Henna has been particularly loved as an instant decoration by the public since it gradually disappears as time goes on. Third, body painting enables to draw a three-dimensional effect because of its close relation with body movements in a limited space. Each individual will have a different feeling appealed in their body painting. Body painting has been applied to many different areas, especially to theatrical art using lights, music and performance altogether producing impromptu and experimental works. Unlike other arts such as painting, sculpture, visual and industrial arts, body painting has mobility. Since it is painted on a three-dimensional human body, it can bear originality expressing realistic objects or animals and strengthen creative functions using body lines. Moreover, geometric designs can be diversified by the sexes. As a result of analysis, geometric designs expressed in body art seemed to transcend expressions of beauty and turned out to be another way of decoration. Body art has also been used as a way to express visual integration and consolidation dynamically not by human instinct but by social changes. The needs for body art will grow as the future comes nearer and be recognized as a new and fresh value. Formative elements of geometric figures deliver visual impressions combined with human body and finally create more various types of body art in harmony of body lines.

In this paper, we tried to find out what makes the students feel anxious to mathematics and the ways to decrease their anxiety by comparing two learning types, self-directed-learning and learning in a body, by means of continuous observation and interviews. To perform this study, two classes of self-directed-learning and other two classes of learning-in a body were chosen from the third year-students in Wando Middle School in Chollanamdo. In this study, we obtained the following results: 1. In high group in math grade, students in self-directed-learning are less anxious than students in learning-in a body. 2. In average group in math grade, students in self-directed-learning are much more anxious than students in learning-in a body. 3. In low group in math grade, both students in self-directed-learning and students in teaming-in a body feel anxious about math and there is no difference between them. 4. Anxiety about math hove positive influence on high group in math grade. 5. Anxiety about math have negative influence on average and low groups in math grade. Especially, low group students had no interests about mathematics because of their math anxiety. We observed that some students got over the math anxiety to some meaningful extent by means of interviews or appropriate advices, and became to have confidence and interests in mathematics.

심근관류 SPECT의 영상획득 방법에는 Body contour와 Circular 방식이 있고, 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리를 줄이기 위해 Body contour 방식을 주로 사용한다. 그러나 이중(Dual) 검출기 장비에서 수직방식으로 검출기를 설정하여 영상을 획득하는 경우에는 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리가 Body contour 방식이 Circular 방식에 비해 더 증가하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이중 검출기 장비에서 수직방식으로 검출기를 설정하여 영상을 획득하는 경우, Body contour 방식과 Circular 방식에서 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리를 비교하고, 거리에 따라 영상에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 영상의 질을 높이기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 시행하였다. 실험에 사용된 장비는 GE INFINIA Gamma Camera와 Anthropomorphic torso 모형에 심장 모형을 삽입하여 영상을 획득하였고, 2011년 8월 본원에서 심근관류 SPECT를 시행한 환자 40명을 대상으로 하였다. 모형 제작은 실제 환자조건과 동일하게 하기 위하여 심근에 74 kBq (0.22 mCi)/cc, 폐에 2.59 kBq ($60{\mu}Ci$)/cc, 연부조직에 11.1 kBq (2.2 mCi)/cc의 201-Tl을 주입하여 제작하였고, 영상획득 조건은 회전각 $6^{\circ}$, 50 sec/frame으로 환자와 동일한 조건으로 하였다. 영상획득 방식에 따른 차이를 확인하기 위해 Body contour와 Circular 방식으로 영상을 획득하여 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리를 각각 측정하여 비교하였고, 정상군과 비 정상군의 영상을 육안 분석하였다. 거리에 따라 영상에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해, 모형 실험에서 Circular 방식으로 회전반경을 18.8, 21.8, 23.8, 25.8, 28.8 cm 로 다르게 설정하여 영상을 획득하였고, 각 영상에서 심첨(Apex)에 관심영역을 설정하여 반치폭을 비교하였다. 모형 실험 결과, Body contour를 이용한 실험에서 산출된 반치폭은 6.23 mm이고, Circular mode에서 18.8, 21.8, 23.8, 25.8, 28.8 cm의 회전반경으로 산출된 반치폭은 각각 5.41, 6.24, 6.33, 6.42, 6.93 mm이다. 환자 데이터에서 Body contour의 회전반경이 -3.5 cm ~ 9.5 cm으로 차이를 보였고, Circular mode에 비해 평균 2.5 cm 더 큰 차이를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해, INFINIA 장비에서 Circular mode가 Body contour를 사용한 영상 획득 방법보다 낮은 반치폭을 보였다. 비록 INFINIA장비의 두 가지 영상 획득 방식에 대한 비교였지만, INFINIA장비를 이용한 심근관류 검사에서는 Circular mode 의 영상 획득 방식이 더 적합하다고 사료된다.
