Yongneup wetland protected area, the only high moor in Korea, is a core area to conserve biodiversity. Even though the Yongneup wetland protected area is relatively small, various plant species are distributed in the Yongneup wetland protected area because it includes various habitats showing different environmental gradients. Vascular plants distributed in the Yongneup wetland protected area were identified as a total of 376 taxa that is composed of 73 families, 217 genera, 322 species, 3 subspecies, 44 varieties and 7 forms. For endangered plants designated by the Ministry of Environment, 5 species including Trientalis europaea var. arctica, Lilium dauricum, Halenia corniculata, Lychnis wilfordii and Menyanthes trifoliata were found and 34 taxa were confirmed to be distributed only in the mountainous wetland habitats. Regarding naturalized plants, a total of 11 taxa were distributed, but most of them were distributed in the areas where artificial interference has occurred. And in areas inside the wetlands that are relatively well preserved, 2 species of Bidens frondosa and Erigeron annuus were observed. In this study, the occurrence and distribution of Pseudostellaria baekdusanensis M. Kim, which was recently found in Mt. Baekdu and reported as a new species, were identified in the Yongneup wetland protected area. A wetland is a very vulnerable area to drastic environmental changes and damages to its ecosystem could cause the extinction of rare plant species which are distributed only in the wetlands. Therefore, it is mandatory that current status of the Yongneup wetland protected area is evaluated and actions to prevent rapid environmental changes are taken. Fourteen separate investigations were conducted in 2013 and another four in 2014, to evaluate current status of the Yongneup wetland protected area. These investigations have provided us the basic information for future actions of conservation and restoration.

This study was performed to identify risk factors for depression among the elderly in a rural area. A survey was done for the elderly living in Gosam-myenn, Ansung-kun during the period of July 28, 1997 and July 30, 1997. Demographic and sodoeconornic characteristics, and functional and health Status were assessed using a structured questionnaire, and the level of depression was measured by GDS score. The data obtained were analyzed by frequencies, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression, and the results were as follows: 1. The total sample consisted of 133 elderly. Of them, 47 elderly (35.4%) showed significant depressive Symptoms. 2. The GDS score was the highest for the group over 85 years of age (p < 0.05). Those living alone or widowed showed lower GDS score than those living with someone or married (p < 0.05). 3. The GDS score was the highest in the absolutely dependent group, followed by the partially dependent group, and the independent group (p < 0.01). The elderly who perceived their health Status as excellent showed the lowest GDS score. In contrast, those who had more than five chronic diseases showed the highest GDS score. 4. The elderly receiving financial and emotional support from their family or friends showed lower GDS score compared to those without any support. 5. The economically dependent group showed higher GDS score than that of independent group. 6. The elderly who involved in leisure activities showed lower GDS score than those without any involvement. 7. In terms of risk factors for depression, we found that perceived health Status, subjective economic Status, leisure activities, living arrangement and financial support were inversely associated with GDS score, whereas labor support was positively associated with GDS score. Based upon the above findings, this study suggests that these risk factors for depression in the elderly should be taken into consideration for a comprehensive mental health program for the elderly living in the rural area.

Recently according to the individualization and differentiation in consumers` lifestyles, there are many changes in the distribution types of products. Especially owing to the increase of women in the work force, the single population and the night active population, in the past few years the rapidly growing convenience stores are becoming fixture in our society as a popularized retailer. Accordingly, going beyond the primary role of preserving contents and protecting quality, package design at a convenience store, on the premise of it being self-service, serve as a means of sales promotion strategy, to induce the purchase by communicating information and favorable image to the consumer. Developing package design with consideration to these special features of a convenience store must be improved by satisfying the following points: · to produce positive corporate image by developing private brands for a differentiation strategy. · to induce impulse buying owing to direct advertising by developing package designs which considers P.D.P. functions. · to stimulate the consumers` desire to purchase and to revitalize the store atmosphere by package design which maximizes effects of the displays. · to produce brand logotypes that has outstanding communicative properties and that can be long remembered. · to develop a color strategy which suggests a product's features, can touch the consumer's sensibility, and can minimize stress to the eyes. · to produce a systematic layout which leads to visual order of detail design elements.

인접행렬의 고유벡터 성분비를 이용한 공간 분석 : Spatial Configuration Analysis Using the Eigenvector Ratio of Adjacency Matrix

최재필,조형규,최현철,황용하 대한건축학회 2003 대한건축학회논문집 Vol.19 No.11

The purpose of the ERAM model proposed in this paper is to analyze the spatial importance immanent in the intrinsic structure of spaces. Use of the adjacency matrix representing the connection of spaces makes it possible to analyze the spatial structure itself. On the assumption that a large number of people move continually at random in the system, the ratio of elements in any row of the n-th power of the adjacency matrix means the ratio of people of all nodes in equilibrium. Mathematically, it is the ratio of eigenvector corresponding to the dominant (maximum) eigenvalue, Therefore it is the attribute immanent in the structure of spaces itself. Moreover, it is possible to consider the relative level of attraction of spaces and the relative flow from spaces to spaces only by putting the gravity on the adjacency matrix. The ERAM model brings forth the flexible result reflecting the relativity of spaces and flows.

This study was conducted to examine ear, nose, and throat diseases of community residents and related factors in Korea. 475 people who were experienced in suffering from the ear, nose, and throat diseases were chosen as the subjects of this study. Data were collected in Daegu, Kimchon, Andong, Pohang, Kyungsan from February 1, 2000 to May 30, 2000. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. Among ear, nose, and throat diseases, the incidence of throat diseases was highest (42.3%). The incidence rate of nose diseases was 31.9%, while that of ear diseases was 25.7%. The incidence of these diseases were significantly related to the variables of sex, age, occupation, religion, education level, smoking, and drinking. 2. When the respondents were afflicted with ear diseases, 47.7% of them was treated in ear, nose, and throat hospitals or clinics, while 29.4% of them was treated in general hospitals or clinics. 13.2% of them just endured without receiving treatment. 5.7% of them was treated in their homes and 3.9% of them was treated in pharmacies. 3. 28.9% of the respondents was treated for their ear diseases during two weeks; 24.2% 'during one week'; 20.5% 'during three to four days'; 12.6% 'during one to two days'; 9.0% 'during one to two days'; 4.8% 'during over six months'. The period of treatment was significantly related to the variables of sex, age, occupation, marital status, religion, smoking, drinking, and exercise. 4. When the respondents took nose diseases, 27.4% of them was treated in ear, nose, and throat hospitals or clinics, while 24.7% of them was treated in general hospitals or clinics. 18.6% of them just endured without receiving treatment. 17.7% of them was treated in pharmacies and 5.9% of them was treated in their homes. 5. 27.0% of the respondents was treated for their ear diseases during three and four days; 23.6% 'during on week'; 17.3% 'during two weeks'; 13.5% 'during one to two weeks'; 10.0% 'during one to two months'; 8.6% 'during over six months'. The period of treatment was significantly related to the variables of sex, ccupation, religion, education level, smoking, drinking, and exercise. 6. The throat diseases were caused by cold (30.2%), tonsils (29.3%), and bronchitis (15.7%). When the respondents took throat diseases, 26.1% of them was treated in ear, nose, and throat hospitals or clinics, while 25.3% of them was treated in general hospitals. 20.2% of them was treated in pharmacies and 12.4% of them just endured without receiving treatment. 10.3% of them received reatment in clinics, while 5.6% of them was treated in their homes. 7. The level of satisfaction with treatment for ear diseases was 3.58±1.12 points on the basis of 5 points, while that for throat diseases was 3.19±0.085 points. In case of information sources on ear, nose, and throat diseases, 31.8% of the respondents obtained the information from doctors, while 21.4% of them got it from TV or Radio. 15.9% of them obtained it from family members, neighbors, or friends and 10.0% of them obtained it from magazines, newspapers or pamphlet. Only 7.0% of them got it from pharmacists. 8. 67.2% of the respondents thought that mass media dealt with the ear, nose, and throat diseases lightly. 40.6% of them replied that education and publicity of those diseases would be necessary, while 10.7% of them replied those would not be necessary. Among the ear, nose, and throat diseases, the incidence rate of throat diseases was highest (42.3%). The ear diseases showed the highest level of satisfaction with treatment, while the throat diseases displayed the lowest level of satisfaction with treatment. Although the diseases are very serious in Korea, they are dealt with lightly in terms of education and publicity through using mass media. Therefore, the government, otorhinolaryngologists, and related associations must make great efforts to prevent the diseases.

This study was conducted to find the structure of phytoplankton community in the Hoeya river(Ulsan) from March 2000 to February 2001. The taxa of phytoplankton identified included 135 species, 5 divisions, 33 families and 82 genera. Among them, chrysophyta(diatoms) were 63 species(46.7%), chlorophyta(green algae) 47 species(34.8%), pyrrophyta(dinoflagellates) 13 species(9.6%), cyanophyta (cyanobacteria) 8 species(5.9%) and euglenophyta(euglenoids) 4 species(3.0%) respectively. Ecological important species is called frequently appearing species, red tide causative species, seawater species and pollution indicator. 22 species including Aulacoseira granulata were recorded frequently appearing species. 19 species including Ceratium furca were recorded as red tide causing species. And the pollution indicators were 33 species including Actinastrum hantzschil var. fluviatile. The highest standing crops were 3,103,441 cell/ℓ in August at the RW-1 and the lowest 1,245 cell/ℓ in January at the RW-5. In the community analysis, the dominanance indices ranged from 0.34(October, RW-2) to 0.94(January, RW-1) and the diversity indices from 0.50(May, RW-2) to 2.57(September, RW-2). The saprobic indices were 2.43 in RW-1, 2.41in RW-2, 2.375 in RW-3, 2.40 in RW-4, 2.43, in RW-5. Therefore, these areas were investigated "β-mesosaprobic". According to the similarity index among the stations, these areas were defined as residential district areas(RW-2 and RW-3), lower part of the dam (RW-1) and seawater areas(RW-4 and RW-5).

This study was conducted to examine lipid, blood pressure, glucose, and health behavior of normal people and obese people. The normal people and obese people received health examination in K and D hospitals. The normal group was composed of 243 men and 191 women, while the obese group was composed of 194 men and 190 women. Data were collected from May, 1999 to Decomber, 1999. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. Male was 56.0% and female was 44.0% in the normal group, while male was 50.5% and female was 49.5% in the obese group. In the case of age, in the normal group 24.9% was in twenties, 15.4% was in thirties, 16.4% was in forties, 18.9% was in fifties, and 24.4% was in sixties and over. In the obese group 14.1% was in twenties, 16.4% was in thirties, 21.4% was in forties, 23.7% was in fifties, and 24.4% was in sixties and over. 2. According to the distribution of lipid, blood pressure, and glucose by sex, the normal group displayed significant difference in BMI, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, SBP, and DBP, while the obese group showed significant difference in BMI, triglyceride, SBP, and DBP. 3. In the case of the distribution of lipid. Blood pressure, and glucose by age, the normal group revealed significant difference in BMI, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, SBP, and DBP, shile the obese group displayed significant difference in BMI, total cholesterol, SBP, and DBP. 4. According to health behavior of the normal group and the obese group by sex, male showed significant difference in favorite food (p<0.05), while female displayed significant difference in eating habit (p<0.05). 5. The factors which significantly influenced BMI were SBP (p<0.05), total cholesterol (p<0.001), triglyceride (p<0.001), times of eating meat (p<0.05), and exercise (p<0.05). As seen in the above results, the obese group showed higher lipid, blood pressure, and glucose than the normal group. It seemed that especially, the lack of exercise, the unbalanced diet, and eating of meat affected obesity. Drinking and smoking had harmful influence on lipid, blood pressure, and glucose, It appeared that adequated exercise helped them prevent geriatric disease. It can be said that the diseases related to obesity will increase due to change in socio-economy and diet. It is important to prevent obesity through clinical test related to obesity and heal education.
