The purpose of this study is to assess folate intake, and serum and red blood cell (RBC) folate concentrations, and investigate the association between folate status and health-related behaviors among Korean college students. A total of 169 students, aged between 18 and 27 years, participated in this study. Dietary intake data were collected by trained interviewers using a 24-hour recall method for three non-consecutive days in 2009. Information on health-related behaviors was obtained by a self-administered questionnaire. Serum and RBC folate concentrations were measured by microbiological assay. The average intakes of folate were 456 μgDFE and 347 μgDFE in male and female students, respectively. While the average serum folate concentration was significantly lower in male students (8.9 ng/mL) compared to female students (12.5 ng/mL), RBC concentrations were not significantly different between male (398.6 ng/mL) and female students (405.3 ng/mL). In male students, low serum folate concentrations were associated with total folate intake less than the Estimated Average Requirement, non-use of folic acid supplements, smoking, alcohol drinking at least once a week and low physical activity. In female students, low serum folate concentrations were associated with smoking and alcohol drinking at least two drinks at a time and BMI ≥ 25. Alcohol drinking and low physical activity were also associated with low RBC folate concentrations in both male and female students. In order to improve folate nutritional status of college students, the practice of desirable health-related behaviors, such as non-smoking, moderate alcohol drinking, regular physical activity, and maintenance of healthy BMI should be encouraged along with consumption of folate-rich foods and supplements.

This population-based study which was conducted in South Korea included 4205 adults (43% male) aged 40–69 years and 1548 children (48.6% boys) aged 8–13 years. Dietary intake was assessed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire in adults and modified 3-day food records in children.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>After adjustments for age and body mass index, we identified a significant association between SNP rs1029035 of the <I>PCSK5</I> gene and HDL-C concentrations specifically for men in both populations (adults, p=0.004; children, p=0.003; meta, p=7×10<SUP>−4</SUP>). Additionally, the interaction between the <I>PCSK5</I> rs1029035 genotype and dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids intake influenced serum HDL-C concentrations in men (adults, p=0.001; children, p=0.008). The deleterious effect of the C allele on serum HDL-C was present only when dietary PUFA intake was less than the dichotomised median level (adults, p=0.011; children, p=0.001). Serum HDL-C concentrations were decreased in men with the C allele genotype and low consumption of dietary PUFA including n-3 and n-6.</P><P><B>Conclusion</B></P><P>According to these results, men carrying of the C allele were associated with low HDL-C concentrations and might exert beneficial effects on HDL-C concentrations following consumption of a high-PUFA diet.</P>

Electric-field-induced spin disorder-to-order transition near a multiferroic triple phase point

Jang, Byung-Kweon,Lee, Jin Hong,Chu, Kanghyun,Sharma, Pankaj,Kim, Gi-Yeop,Ko, Kyung-Tae,Kim, Kwang-Eun,Kim, Yong-Jin,Kang, Kyungrok,Jang, Han-Byul,Jang, Hoyoung,Jung, Min Hwa,Song, Kyung,Koo, Tae Yeon Nature Publishing Group 2017 Nature physics Vol.13 No.2

<P>The emergence of a triple phase point in a two-dimensional parameter space (such as pressure and temperature) can offer unforeseen opportunities for the coupling of two seemingly independent order parameters. On the basis of this, we demonstrate the electric control of magnetic order by manipulating chemical pressure: lanthanum substitution in the antiferromagnetic ferroelectric BiFeO3. Our demonstration relies on the finding that a multiferroic triple phase point of a single spin-disordered phase and two spin-ordered phases emerges near room temperature in Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 ferroelectric thin films. By using spatially resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we provide direct evidence that the electric poling of a particular region of the compound near the triple phase point results in an antiferromagnetic phase while adjacent unpoled regions remain magnetically disordered, opening a promising avenue for magnetoelectric applications at room temperature.</P>

The purpose of the study was to examine the changes of food and nutrient intakes of college students between 1999 and 2009. Dietary survey of 169 college students was conducted by a 24-hour recall method for three days in 2009. Food and nutrient intakes in 2009 were compared with the data from 106 students collected by the same methods in 1999. The intakes of cereals & grain products and vegetables in 2009 were lower than those of 1999, but the intakes of meats, eggs, milk & milk products, and manufactured food were higher. The intake of rice per person decreased greatly from 452.2 g in 1999 to 351.4 g in 2009 in males, and from 306.9 g to 237.2 g in females. While the intakes of protein, fat, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and cholesterol were significantly higher, the intakes of dietary fiber were significantly lower in 2009 compared to 1999 both in males and females. The nutrients consumed less than the Recommended Intakes were vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin C, and calcium in males and additionally folate, iron, and zinc in females in both 1999 and 2009. The ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat as energy was 61 : 15 : 24 and 60 : 14 : 26 in 1999, and 54 : 16 : 30 and 56 : 15 : 29 in 2009 in males and females respectively, showing that carbohydrate intake decreased and fat intake increased greatly. Our data suggest that nutrition education is necessary for college students to help them consume more vegetables and fruits and less fat and cholesterol.

장한별(Jang Han Byul),박주연(Park Ju Yeon),이혜자(Lee Hye-Ja),강재헌(Kang Jae Heon),박경희(Park Kyung-Hee),송지현(Song Jihyun) 韓國營養學會 2011 Journal of Nutrition and Health Vol.44 No.5

본 연구는 부모의 사회경제적 수준과 초등학교 6학년 자녀의 과체중 위험도 식습관 식사 질과의 관계에 대하여 알아보고자 하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 어머니 교육수준이 낮은 여학생 집단이 비교 집단에 비해 과체중의 위험도가 1.91배 높았다. 하지만 남학생의 경우에는 과체중 위험도와 사회경제수준 간에 유의성이 없었다. 2) 남녀 모두 수입 및 부모의 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 과일류 섭취량이 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 여학생의 경우 이와 함께 가구 월수입 및 부모의 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 어패류의 섭취량도 유의적으로 낮았다. 3) 1일 평균 영양소 섭취량을 비교한 결과 여학생의 경우 가구 월수입 및 부모의 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 총 섭취량과 식물성 식품의 섭취가 유의적으로 낮았으며 이와 함께 탄수화물 비타민 C 칼륨 식이 섬유의 섭취도 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 4) 여학생의 경우 아버지의 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 높은 집단 보다 탄수화물을 통하여 섭취하는 에너지의 비율은 낮았던 반면 지방의 비율은 유의적으로 높았다. 하지만 남학생의 경우 가구 월수입 및 부모의 교육수준에 따른 열량 및 영양소 섭취량에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 5) 가구 월수입 및 부모의 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 EAR 미만으로 영양소를 섭취하는 대상자 비율이 높았다. 남학생은 월수입이 낮은 집단에서 나이아신 철분 섭취가 EAR 보다 부족한 학생비율이 높았으며 부모의 교육수준에 따라서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 여학생은 사회경제적 수준이 낮은 집단에서 인의 섭취가 EAR 미만인 대상자가 비율이 유의적으로 높았고 이와 함께 부모 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 나이아신과 비타민 B6의 섭취량이 EAR 보다 부족한 비율이 높았다. 6) 여학생의 경우 가구 월수입에 따른 비교에서 가구 월수입이 낮은 집단에서 라면의 섭취 빈도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며 부모의 교육수준에 따른 비교에서는 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 남녀 모두 아침 식사 결식 횟수가 높고 라면의 섭취 빈도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 7) 여학생의 경우 가구 월수입 및 부모의 교육수준이 낮은 집단에서 식품섭취 다양성과 균형성이 모두 비교 집단에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 하지만 남학생의 경우 가구 월수입 및 부모의 교육수준에 따른 유의적인 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구를 통하여 부모의 사회경제적 수준은 여학생의 식습관과 식사의 질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 부모의 낮은 사회경제적 수준은 자녀의 바람직하지 않은 식습관과 낮은 식사의 질과 관련되어 있었으며 이는 영양소 섭취량에도 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 어머니 교육수준은 여학생의 과체중 위험도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 사회경제적 수준이 낮은 집단에 대한 건강한 식습관과 체중 관리를 위한 교육 및 영양 정책이 필요하다. This study investigated the association among parental socioeconomic level overweight and eating habits with diet quality in Korean sixth grade school children. A 3-day dietary survey was conducted and a questionnaire and anthropometric data were collected from the Korean child obesity cohort (320 boys and 345 girls). The children were classified into two groups (low or high level) based on monthly household income and paternal and maternal education status. Lower maternal education status was associated with a higher risk for overweight in girls (odd ratio 1.91; 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.44) whereas belonging to a higher socioeconomic group in terms of parental income or parental education level resulted in the consumption of significantly more fruit. Boys did not show significant differences in the intake of most nutrients or diet quality regardless of socioeconomic status. However girls in the lower socioeconomic group had a lower food habit score (higher frequency of breakfast skipping and ramen noodle consumption) diet quality and intake of nutrients (carbohydrate vitamin C potassium and fiber) than those in the higher socioeconomic group. Therefore future nutrition policies and interventions should support parents and children with lower socioeconomic status to develop health-related behaviors that may prevent childhood overweight.

장한별(Han-Byul Jang),김민영(Min-Young Kim),김유진(Eu-Gene Kim),이연정(Yeon-Jeong Lee),이종원(Jong-Won Lee) 한국컴퓨터정보학회 2018 한국컴퓨터정보학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.26 No.2

국내 게임 시장이 활성화되면서 매년 다양한 종류의 수많은 게임이 출시되고 있다. 이에 일부 게임들은 게임을 홍보하는 전략으로 매력적인 캐릭터들을 내세우기도 하고, 지나치게 성적인 측면을 강조한 게임 캐릭터들을 홍보에 사용하는 빈도 수도 증가하였다. 특히 여성 캐릭터의 경우 여자 어린이를 모델로 한 캐릭터를 성적으로 소비하는 등 현재 여러 논란이 끊이지 않고 일어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 여성 캐릭터의 소비가 실제 남성 유저들의 성적 인식과 태도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 가장하고 조사를 통해 이를 확인해보고자 한다.

Unconventional formation of dual-colored InP quantum dot-embedded silica composites for an operation-stable white light-emitting diode

Jang, Eun-Pyo,Jo, Jung-Ho,Lim, Seung-Won,Lim, Han-Byule,Kim, Hwi-Jae,Han, Chang-Yeol,Yang, Heesun The Royal Society of Chemistry 2018 Journal of Materials Chemistry C Vol.6 No.43

<P>In the fabrication of color-conversion-based quantum dot-light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs), the on-chip type is the most cost-effective, processing-convenient configuration and thus should replace well-developed but costly on-surface ones. To render on-chip QD-LEDs viable, however, the encapsulation of QDs with chemically stable species should additionally precede fabrication to prevent substantial QD degradation occurring under LED driving accompanied by high temperature and intense photon flux. For this, we explore an unconventional but simple formation of silica composites embedded with technologically important but relatively delicate non-Cd InP QDs, where a sol-gel reaction proceeds in a catalyst-free, waterless manner with a silane precursor of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS). This ATPMS-based silica reaction is attempted first with green InP QDs with a multi-shell structure of a composition-gradient ZnSeS intermediate shell plus a ZnS outer shell, showing that it enables excellent retention of the original photoluminescence of pristine QDs as well as uniform formation of QD-silica composites. Subsequently, two InP/ZnSeS/ZnS QDs of green and red emission are co-reacted in the silica reaction to yield dual color-capable QD-silica composites. These single- and dual-colored QD-silica composites are combined as color-converters with a blue LED in an on-chip configuration. The device stability of bicolored and tricolored QD-LEDs fabricated as such is then evaluated under continuous operation at 60 mA for an extended period of time, leading to the outstanding retention of initial QD emission as high as 93-94% even after 100 h-operation and clearly validating the effectiveness of the present silica embedding on QD passivation against a harsh LED driving environment.</P>
