  • This study examines the work-life balance designing of new employees using qualitative research. Eight new employees at foreign IT companies in Korea were interviewed in two groups composed of two male workers and two female workers. The research determined two main themes and seven sub-themes related to the participants work-life balance using theme analysis. The first main theme was 'working conditions' which had sub-themes, 'performance-based system in foreign IT companies', 'flexible working conditions', 'family-friendly company culture', and 'positive evaluation of the company'. The second main theme was 'work-life balance' which included the sub-themes, 'changing priority during transitional periods of life', 'work-family balance designing as a family unit', and 'difficulties balancing between work and family'. The results revealed that workers prospected that flexible working condition might solve the demands of the child-rearing period and that work-family balance was determined as a family unit. Additionally, there were gender differences in the relationships between working conditions and work-life balance.

  • 연구목적: 본 연구는 생애전환기를 맞이한 초기노인을 대상으로 낙상경험과 낙상의 내재적 요인을 성별에 따라 비교하였다. 연구방법: 연구대상자는 2008년 1월부터 12월까지 국민건강보험공단에서 실시한 66세 생애전환기 건강진단검사를 받은 수검자 중 자료가 불충분한 것을 제외한 255,505명을 대상으로 2차분석한 서술적 단면연구이다. 연구결과: 생애전환기를 맞이한 66세 초기노인의 낙상경험은 전체 10.6%로 남자 8.5%, 여자 12.4%로 여성노인이 남성노인에 비해 낙상비율이 높았다. 남녀에서 낙상위험에 영향을 미치는 요인은 배뇨장애 6.2-6.6배, 우울 1.5-1.8배, 보행장애 1.3-1.5배, 및 실명 1.3-1.4배 순서로 나타났다. 연구결론: 비록 내적 낙상위험요인이 다양할지라도 효과적인 낙상예방을 위해서 배뇨장애가 중요한 내재적 예측요인이며, 이는 초기노인의 낙상에 영향을 줄 수 있다.

  • Changes of gonadal morphology and mRNA expression patterns of vitellogenin were investigated in Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii (Chondrostei) during its early gonadal maturation period. Early differentiations and morphological transitions of both ovaries and testes appeared to occur actively until the age of 3 years, however from then on, the maturation patterns to full maturity were largely gender-dependent, in which males showed a faster progression of maturation than did females while females experienced a steady-state progress with a lagged interval before entering the final maturation. Expression of vitellogenin mRNAs are closely correlated with transitional patterns of gonadal appearances. In both females and males, hepatic mRNA levels of vitellogenin exponentially increased in the earliest interval (up to 1-year-old). However, in subsequent periods, vitellogenin expression in females continued to increase with age, whereas in males, the expression stabilized at a younger age. Nevertheless, at the age older than or equal to 7-year-old, fully matured individuals showed a quite low level of vitellogenin expression in both females and males. Collectively, results from this study could be useful as a fundamental guideline to address the gonad maturation of this sturgeon species, which is helpful for making practical decisions about farming practices and management for caviar production on local sturgeon farms.
