An individual interview was held, and they got a dental checkup. As for data analysis, chi-square test, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation were utilized. Results : The older age in the whole research subjects and the lower educational level led to the less remaining teeth and the larger missing teeth index. The decayed missing filled teeth index and the decayed missing filled teeth rate were higher in more women and older age and in the lower educational level. Tooth mortality rate was higher in the older age, the lower educational level, and the group of living together with spouse. The maxillary-mandibular fixed-bridge status in the mouth was indicated to be the highest in the full-denture mounting ratio as for elders in over 80 years old. Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14) average score was $56.05{\pm}11.64$ in the whole research subjects The decayed missing filled teeth index and the decayed missing filled teeth rate showed significantly positive correlation with the decayed missing filled teeth rate, tooth mortality rate and showed significantly negative correlation with OHIP-14. Tooth mortality rate showed significantly negative correlation with OHIP-14 Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14) showed significantly positive correlation with its factors. Conclusions : Accordingly, the policy effort is considered to be necessary that implements in elders in order to spend active senescence, and that elders' health and oral-health behavior can be implemented continuously and preventively through classification according to elders' physical function.

The foodborne illness is the important public health concerns, and the livestock feces are known to be one of the major reservoirs of foodborne pathogens. Also, it was reported that 45.5% of foodborne illness outbreaks have been associated with the animal products contaminated with the livestock feces. In addition, it has been known that the persistence of a pathogens depends on many potential virulent factors including the various virulent genes. Therefore, the first step to understanding the public health risk of livestock feces is to identify and describe microbial communities and potential virulent genes that contribute to bacterial pathogenicity. We used the whole metagenome shotgun sequencing to evaluate the prevalence of foodborne pathogens and to characterize the virulence associated genes in pig and chicken feces. Our data showed that the relative abundance of potential foodborne pathogens, such as Bacillus cereus was higher in chickens than pigs at the species level while the relative abundance of foodborne pathogens including Campylobacter coli was only detected in pigs. Also, the microbial functional characteristics of livestock feces revealed that the gene families related to "Biofilm formation and quorum sensing" were highly enriched in pigs than chicken. Moreover, the variety of gene families associated with "Resistance to antibiotics and toxic compounds" were detected in both animals. These results will help us to prepare the scientific action plans to improve awareness and understanding of the public health risks of livestock feces.

In terms of climate change communities have only during the 1990s begun to recognize that all greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions are directly or indirectly generated locally, through acts of agency, production or consumption. This has provided a boost to the role of local places in the debate since GHGs can be allocated and made understood locally and hence form the basis for specific policies, programs, plans and projects. The objectives of this study are to define a framework for making Environmentally Friendly City through enhancing integrated energy-urban policies and present framework to do comprehensive evaluation on energy related policies response and also explore the interrelation between energy related activities in each sector and policy and applies to Seoul mega city in Korea. Despite the growing recognition of the seriousness of urban environmental problems and their contribution to global environmental and social concerns, most analysts continue to study cities in parts rather than as a whole; we study sectoral sub-systems such as transport, air pollution or energy. While specialization is useful for detailed thinking, we also need to see each issue in the context of how each city works environmentally, economically, socially and politically. We therefore need integrative approaches to study of cities and need to understand how they function as systems. These framework presented in this study allows an organized and systematic analysis. These research results can provide useful, credible and timely input into the urban planning process. This study will be a helpful exercise to draw some policy implications of other cities in Korea and also East Asia that are in a similar stage with the these cities and developing plans on how to address them.

21세기는 창의(創意) 중심의 시대이다. 교육정책 또한 창의성을 강조하며 창의를 바탕으로 새로운 변화를 꿈꾸고 있다. 예술을 통한 창의교육은 사물의 본질을 파악하고 본인이 느낀 것을 추구하고 인지능력 향상만 가져오는 것뿐 아니라 피교육자의 창의성 개발을 촉진시키며 사물에 대한 통찰력과 기존의 것과는 다른 새로운 사유와 법칙을 만들어내는 능력을 얻게 된다. 창의교육은 가정, 학교, 지역사회, 공공기관, 사설기관 등을 통하여 실행되고 있지만 창의적 환경에 노출되는 피교육자의 수는 극히 드물다. 창의교육을 담당하고 있는 다양한 방법 중 가장 보급력이 높은 창의실습도서의 연구와 개발은 아직 미흡한 현실이다. 창의교육실습도서의 새로운 접근이 필요하며 창의교육을 범국민적인 차원으로 넓혀가려면 손쉽게 볼 수 있도록 누구나 접할 수 있는 환경을 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 측면에서 예술 활동을 통한 창의교육 실습도서에 대한 고찰을 시작하게 되었으며 널리 연구되어 다양한 방식의 창의실습도서가 저서 되었으면 한다.

Yemen has been faced with the worst cholera epidemic of modern times, with more than 1 million suspected cases and 3000 deaths at the time of writing. This problem is largely due to the longstanding civil war between pro-government forces and the Houthi armed movement, which has severely damaged already vulnerable sanitation and healthcare facilities and systems in the country. It is further compounded by a dire lack of basic amenities, chronic malnutrition, and unfavourable weather conditions. Another contributory component may be aerial transfer by cholera-infected chironomid insects. To contain the spread of cholera in Yemen, a nation-wide armistice should be negotiated, and national and local committees must be convened to coordinate efforts on the ground. Community isolation facilities with proper sanitation, reliable disposal systems, and a clean water supply should be set up to isolate and treat sick patients. The continuity of vaccination programmes should be ensured. Public health campaigns to educate local communities about good hygiene practices and nutrition are also necessary. The One Health paradigm emphasizes a multi-sectoral and transdisciplinary understanding and approach to prevent and mitigate the threat of communicable diseases. This paradigm is highly applicable to the ongoing cholera crisis in Yemen, as it demands a holistic and whole-of-society approach at the local, regional, and national levels. The key stakeholders and warring parties in Yemen must work towards a lasting ceasefire during these trying times, especially given the extra burden from the mounting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak worldwide.

From July 1985 to December 1986, 28 variables of phycal-chemical factors, bacteria and heterotrophic activity were investigated 17 times at 3 stations in the estuary of Naktong River and the influences of environmental factors to bacterial population and heterotrophic activity were analyzed through multiple regression. The results of multiple regression were as follows. At station 1, total bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria(Z-25) could explain 57% of the variation of maximum uptake velocity for glucose and 54% of turnover time for glucose was explained by total coliform bacteria and MBOD, Sixty four percent of the variation of Kt+SN was accounted for salinity, MBOD-N and inorganic phosphate. Turnover rate for acetate was also accounted for the change of MBOD-P by 56%. At station 2 maximum uptake velocity for glucose depends on MBOD-N by 81%; turnover time on bacteria by 50%; Kt+Sn on avilable nutrient by 61%. More than 50% of maximum uptake velocity and turnover time for glucose were influenced by bacteria and that of Kt+Sn by the change of nutrient in the surface water of station 3. In the bottom water of station 3, the change of maximumuptake velocity, turnover time and Kt+Sn for glucose was controlled by total bacteria and available nutrient, bacteria, the change of nutrient salts respectively. On the whole, more than 50% of maximum uptake velocity and turnover time for glucose could be due to the change in the number of bacetria and the value of Kt+Sn was affected by the change of nutrient salts. Turnover rate for acetate was controlled by available phosphate at station 1 and by bacteria at station 2 and 3, which showed a distinct difference between the environmental factors which govern the rate of glucose and acetate uptake in the Naktong esturine ecosystem. And bacterial communities were controlled by available nutrients at station 1, by nutrient salts and salinity at station 2 and in the surface water of station 3 and by salinity in the bottom water of station 3.

본 논문은 인터넷 상의 다수의 참여자가 분산가상환경에서 협업을 수행하는 경우 발생되는 전송 메시지트래픽을 조절하는 기법에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 가상환경에서 교환되는 정보의 양을 줄이는 방법을 상태 갱신메시지 필터링 기법이라고 부르며 이는 가상환경의 확장성을 향상시키는데 필수적인 처리과정이다. 대표적인 필터링 방법인 공간분할 기법은 전체 환경에서 작은 관심영역으로 분할하여 일관성이 유지되어야 하는 영역의 크기를 조절하는 방법을 사용하여 메시지 트래픽을 줄인다. 기존의 공간분할 기법은 시뮬레이션 이전에 관심영역에 대한 정보가 결정되어 사용되므로 동적 환경변화에 대한 적응성과 융통성이 부족하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관심영역 관리방법을 시스템 수행중에 재구성함으로써 적응성을 높인 동적 관심 영역 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 환경변화요소를 반영하기 위하여 제안된 모델은 관심영역의 다중분할과 다중 일관성 유지 알고리즘의 사용하여 효율적인 시스템 자원 소비를 가능하게 하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능평가를 위하여 가상으로 아바타의 행위를 발생시키고 갱신 메시지 트래픽을 측정하여 기존 모델과 비교하였다. 결론적으로, 제안된 모델은 다수의 참여자의 수용이 요구되는 MMORPG나 가상커뮤니티 시스템의 관심 영역 관리 시스템에 활용될 수 있다.
