Purpose: Extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase-producing bacteria-induced urinary tract infections are increasing and require more potent antibiotics such as carbapenems. We evaluated the clinical significance of extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase -urinary tract infection in children younger than 5 years to select proper antibiotics and determine prognostic factors. Differences were compared between age groups. Methods: We retrospectively studied 288 patients with their first febrile urinary tract infection when they were younger than 5 years. Patients were divided into extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase-positive and extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamasenegative urinary tract infection groups. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between the groups; an infant group was separately analyzed (onset age younger than 3 months). Results: Extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase urinary tract infection occurred in 11 % patients who had more frequent previous hospitalization (P=0.02) and higher recurrence rate (P=0.045). During the antimicrobial susceptibility test, the extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase-positive urinary tract infection group showed resistance to third-generation cephalosporins; however, 98% patients responded clinically. In the infant group, extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase-positive urinary tract infection occurred in 13% patients and was associated with a longer pre-onset hospitalization history (P=0.002), higher C-reactive protein level (P=0.04), and higher recurrence rate (P=0.02) than that in the older group. Conclusion: Extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase urinary tract infection requires more attention because of its higher recurrence rate. The antimicrobial susceptibility test demonstrated resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, but they can be used as first-line empirical antibiotics because of their high clinical response rate. Aminoglycosides can be second-line antibiotics before starting carbapenems when third-generation cephalosporins do not show bactericidal effects for extended-spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase urinary tract infection.

This study aims to analyze the preference of jacket design, practical factors regarding jacket-wearing and purchasing behavior for korean baby- boom generation women. The results are as follows: 1. According to the outfit preference survey, the silhouette most preferred by female baby boomers is the "X-line Silhouette", "hip length", "slightly fitted and well fitted". The preferred jacket colors for different seasons were grey and beige for spring, white and light yellow for summer, khaki and brown for fall and black and dark grey for winter. 2. According to the survey on factors to consider when purchasing jackets, 52% indicated that they "almost never" or "occasionally" had their jackets repaired after purchasing them. When purchasing jackets, the highest expected effect of looking younger by wearing a jacket was "looking 4-5 years younger". 3. According to the survey on price demands, the average purchase price for jackets was 160,000~200,000 won (27.80%) followed by 210,000~350,000 won (25.64%) and a significant difference existed based on the purchasers' economic activities.

This paper deals with how speech rate in Korean is affected by the sociolinguistic factors such as region, gender and generation. Speech rate was quantified as articulation rate (excluding physical pauses) and speaking rate (including physical pauses), both expressed as the number of syllables per second (sps). Other acoustic measures such as pause frequency and duration were also examined. Four hundred twelve subjects were chosen from Korean Standard Speech Database considering their age, gender and region. The result shows that generation has a significant effect on both speaking rate and articulation rate. Younger speakers produce their speech with significantly faster speaking rate and articulation rate than older speakers. Mean duration of total pause interval and the total number of pause of older speakers are also significantly different to those of younger speakers. Gender has a significant effect only on articulation rate, which means male speakers' speech rate is characterized by faster articulation rate, longer and more frequent pauses. Finally, region has no effect both on speaking and articulation rates.

이 연구의 목적은 '병맛'에 관한 담론이 세대주의적으로 구성되었음을 밝히고, 그렇게 구성된 '병맛' 담론이 장애인과 여성을 배제하는 방식으로 작동했음을 보이는 것이다. '병맛'이 주류 사회에 처음 등장했을 때, '병맛'은 웹툰을 통해 구현되는 것으로 이해되었으며 더 나아가 '병맛'과 거의 동일한 것으로 이해되기도 했다. 따라서 '병맛' 담론은 '병맛 웹툰'에 대한 해석의 과정에서 형성되었다고 할 수 있다. 언론의 '병맛' 담론은 '병맛'을 키치적인 것으로 이해하는 것에서 출발해 이내 거기에 세대론적 함의를 덧붙이는 과정을 거쳐 구성되었으며, 학술장에서의 '병맛' 담론 형성은 '병맛'의 세대론적 함의를 보다 정교화시키는 방향으로 진행되었다. 그 과정에서 <이말년씨리즈>는 서사 없이 패러디로 가득 찬 텍스트로 분석되었는데, 이러한 서사성 결여와 패러디의 난무는 삶의 서사가 불가능해진 시대에 대한 '잉여세대'의 저항 문화를 보여주는 것으로 해석되었다. 하지만 이러한 해석은 자의적 성격을 띤, '병맛 웹툰'을 세대주의적 틀에 끼워 맞추려는 시도였다. 한편, 이렇게 세대주의적으로 구성된 '병맛' 담론은 특정한 청년 주체를 선택하고 다른 청년 주체는 배제하는 방식으로 작동했으며 '병맛' 담론이 배제한 청년 주체는 장애인, 하층 계급, 그리고 여성이었다. 현재 한국 사회는 '병맛' 코드의 대중화와 '병맛 웹툰'의 쇠락, 그리고 청년세대 담론에 대한 비판적 사유의 생산 등을 마주하고 있다. 현재의 이러한 상황은 '병맛' 담론을 적당한 비평적 거리를 확보하는 동시에 시의성을 잃지 않고 비판할 수 있게 해준다. 이 논의가 '병맛'과 '병맛 웹툰'에 대한 해석을 좀 더 다양화하고 더 나아가 청년세대 담론장에 발전적 균열을 가속화하는 데에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.

본 연구는 1997년 한국의 외환위기 이후 뉴질랜드 방문 한국인의 관광행태 변화에 대한 연구로서, 뉴질랜드 관광청의 자료와 한국의 관광통계 및 인터넷을 통한 설문조사의 자료로 고찰하였다. 외환위기 이후 한국인의 뉴질랜드 관광의 가장 큰 변화는 효도관광 위주의 고령자 관광에서 젊은 세대들의 교육적 목적으로의 관광으로 변화되었다는 것이다. 이에 따라 체류기간이 연장되고, 한국의 학교일정에 따라 방학기간을 이용하는 경우가 많았다. 한국관광객의 주요 관광목적지는 뉴질랜드의 교통시설, 젊은이들의 모험관광 선호지역, 여행사의 프로그램이 크게 작용하였다. 관광활동에 대한 만족도 평가에서는 14항목 5점 척도 기준에 평균 3.52를 나타내어 비교적 만족함을 알 수 있었으며, 약 2/3의 응답자가 다시 뉴질랜드 방문을 원했다. 뉴질랜드 및 한국의 관광 관련 단체들은 이처럼 변화하는 한국 관광객들의 특성을 잘 파악하여 합리작인 관광정책 수립을 도모하여야 할 것이다.

An international survey of over 3600 academic researchers examined how trustworthiness is determined when making decisions on scholarly reading, citing, and publishing in the digital age and whether social media and open access publications are having an impact on judgements. In general, the study found that traditional scholarly methods and criteria remain important across the board. However, there are significant differences between younger (age 30 & under) and older researchers (over 30). Thus younger researchers: a) expend less effort to obtain information and more likely to compromise on quality in their selections; b) view open access publishing much more positively as it offers them more choices and helps to establish their reputation more quickly; c) compensate for their lack of experience by relying more heavily on trust markers and proxies, such as impact factors; d) use all the outlets available in order to improve the chances of getting their work published and, in this respect, make the most use of the social media with which they are more familiar.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how much traditional family ethics exist in morden society. For this goal, I have analyzed norm consciousness of the family among adolescent, middle and old generation. In this research, three kinds of questionnaire were used and the data were obtained from 1,661 samples of three generation groups living in Gyengnam area. The major findings obtained from this study are as follows: First, the filial piety and consciousness for supporting their parents were not changed at all in traditional family ethics. The filial piety and consciousness for supporting their parents are the most important family concepts without showing any difference in generation-gap in modem society. Second, the decreasing traditional norm consciousness of family was familism value. Specialty the familism value becomes weaker from old to younger generation. Third, the filial piety and familism value were shown to be the important factors to support their parents. These concepts showed same trends without showing generation-gap.

This study aimed to analyze the preliminary data to increase the residents' satisfaction of mixed-generation house-sharing. For this purpose, we examined the recognition and demands of different generations and compared the differences. The participants were 50 elderly and 100 young people living in Seoul. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistics. The key findings are outlined below; 1. Most of the young people in our sample got to know about the house-sharing via various routes, but this option was not well known to the elderly. The interest in living in a house-sharing situation was higher among the young people than among the elderly. The reason why people were uninterested in house-sharing was their comfort in living alone. 2. Secure personal-space privacy and the choice of a housemate were regarded as the most important considerations in house-sharing by the young and the elderly, respectively. Young people anticipated a division of housework and the elderly were worried about communication with the younger generation. 3. Expected benefits tended to be higher in economic aspects for the young and in psychological aspects for the elderly. The elderly responded that they would be willing to share the kitchen and living room with the younger generation. Young people demanded necessary living facilities such as a laundry room and a community area with the elderly. The majority of the respondents from both generations said they would be able to solve problems through communication. In conclusion, public relations are needed to increase interest in house-sharing. The elderly and young should understand its purpose and treat each other as family members, not as house owners and tenants. There should be a manager who can coordinate the residents.

To evaluate food consumption patterns of first generation Korean-American in Hawaii, questionnaires were developed using sociodemographic questions and food frequency questionnaire, which included 139 food items most often consumed among Korean foods and American foods. The questionnaires surveyed 157 first generation Korean-Americans in Hawaii. Mean daily servings for the first generation Korean-Americans were calculated for 139 food items combined into 41 food groups based on similarity in nutrient composition and serving size. The food groups which were consumed in amounts over one serving per day for all subjects were rice, Kimchi , non-citrus fruit , vegetables, organge/green vegetables. oil. margarine and coffee/tea. All subjects consumed less than one serving of hotdogs, hamburgers, pizza and pancakes per week(0.14 serving per day). The most notable characteristic of food consumption for first generation Korean-Americans was that they consumed more Korean food such as rice, Kimchi, soybean paste(Deenjang), soybean curd and seaweed than American foods. Compared with other groups based on age and gender, younger men showed significantly(p<0.05) more frequent consumption of beef/pork, sausages /hams /bacons and hambergers. Older men were significantly(p<0.05) more likely to consume Doenjang and less likely to consume pizza and hamburgers. Daily servings were below the recommended level for thegrains /bread/cereals group and fats/oils/sweets group for all subjects . Fruits/vegetables group servings exceeded the recommeded 5 daily servings for younger men. In correlations of daily servings of selected foods among Korean foods and American food with sociodemographic characteristics, this study showed that the older the subjects and the shorter the stay in Hawaii, subjects were more likely to consume Kroean foods.

This study examined the effects of conditions of generation(0, 1, or 2 cognitive operations) and task difficulty in children's recall. Subjects were 40 children in each age group, 8-year-olds and 10-year-olds. Each subject was shown 12 simple or difficult multiplication problems in one of the conditions of generation. After a buffer task, subjects were required to recall correct answers to the problems in random order. The data were analyzed by ANOVA and simple main effect analyses. Results showed that generation effect(GE) occurred among children younger than 12, and GE improved with age. Learning from cognitive operations was more effective than learning through simple repetition. Easier tasks led to greater GE, a phenomenon explained by procedures used in this study.
