Mira Sung,Soyoung Park,Yujin Suh J-INSTITUTE 2020 Kinesiology Vol.5 No.2

Purpose: Since the level of positive perception of dementia in Korean society is still very insufficient, it is diffi-cult to detect diseases early and actively intervene in treatments. Supporting this situation, many studies have shown that there is a lack of basic knowledge and a lack of proper perception of dementia. This study is to inves-tigate basic data for presenting the direction of establishing and developing the dementia policy in the future by seeking the effective operational plan for a dementia care center through surveying the dementia awareness and needs in a region. Method: This study is a cross sectional study. This study targeted 498 people who are dwelling in G city of Gyeonggi Province. The research period is from May 1, 2018 to September 15, 2018. The data were analyzed by SPSS Win. 21.0 program. Results: The dementia perception questions showed a significant difference according to participants’ age, education level, interest degree, dementia knowledge level, and information contact appearance. As a result of surveying the demand for the dementia-related policy that is most necessary for research participants, a support for medical expenses had the highest need. Conclusion: A large-scale research has rarely been done at home so far targeting city citizens in a region excluding Seoul Metropolis. Hence, this study will be able to be applied to useful basic data afterward for the establishment of a domestic dementia policy and for a dementia-related research. Especially, a change in the perception on dementia and in the use of a care service will become a very important source data.

Mira Sung,Soyoung Park,Yujin Suh,Hyunsuk Kim J-INSTITUTE 2022 International Journal of Human & Disaster Vol.7 No.1

Purpose: This study was attempted to collect opinions for operating dementia project of Dementia care center and to understand what is needed as a strategy for efficient dementia project by analyzing working experience of practitioners at the Dementia Care Center. Method: Focus group interviews with practitioner working at 47 Dementia Care Centers in Gyeonggi-do and contents analyzing method were conducted. Results: The contents of interviews were analyzed by dividing into two themes: the difficulty in conducting dementia project and the development plan for revitalizing the dementia project. Three categories of difficulties in carrying out the dementia projects were derived: negative perception of dementia, insufficient manpower system, and non-establishment of service system, and two categories of development plan were derived as the internal stability of the manpower system and the establishment of regional dementia management hub. Conclusion: Despite the increased social interest in dementia due to the implementation of the dementia national responsibility program, it was found that it was still difficult to carry out the project due to the negative perception of dementia. For the efficient operation of the dementia care center and vitalization of the project, the stabilization of the employment of working-level workers should be accompanied first, and a more systematic operation plan is needed by clearly establishing the role of each job group and confirming that the job is being performed according to the characteristics of the job.

국내 중부지역에 있어서 기후변화에 따른 사료용 옥수수의 생산성 및 기후영향취약성 평가

정상욱,성시흥,장치만,정종성,오미래,윤영식,성혜진,문상호,Chung, Sang Uk,Sung, Si Heung,Zhang, Qi-Man,Jung, Jeong Sung,Oh, Mirae,Yun, Yeong Sik,Seong, Hye Jin,Moon, Sang Ho 한국초지조사료학회 2019 한국초지조사료학회지 Vol.39 No.2

본 연구는 중부지역 사료용 옥수수 생산성 조사를 위해 충청북도 충주시 대소원면과 충청남도 청양군 운곡면에 각각 시험포장지를 조성하여 2017년부터 2018년까지 2년간 실시하였다. 사료용 옥수수의 공시품종은 국내 육성품종인 광평옥을 사용하였고 초고, 엽수, 병충해, 생물수량, 건물수량 등을 조사하였다. 기후자료는 기상청의 기상관측소의 일평균기온, 일최고기온, 일최저기온, 월평균기온, 일강수량, 일일 일조시간 등의 관측자료를 참고하였다. 과거 연구자료를 바탕으로 옥수수 생산성에 악영향을 미치는 기후인자를 선정하여 1999년부터 2018년까지 두 지역에 대한 기후영향취약성 시범평가를 진행하였다. 시험포를 조성한 2년간 옥수수 건물수량은 최근 20년 평균 수량인 21,193 kg/ha보다 낮았다. 특히 2018년의 충주시와 청양군의 옥수수 건물수량은 각각 6,475 kg/ha과 7,511 kg/ha으로 나타나 2017년에 비해 절반수준으로 감소하였으며, 20년간의 전국 평균과 비교해도 절반 이하의 수준을 나타냈다. 2018년 충주와 청양의 평균기온 및 최고기온은 두 지역 모두 평년에 비해 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 2018년 생육기간동안 일조시간은 충주지역 873.7시간, 청양지역 942.1시간으로 나타나 과거 30년 동안 생산량 상위그룹의 생육기간 동안의 평균 일조시간 689.8시간을 크게 상회했다. 2018년 옥수수 건물수량의 급격한 감소는 당해 여름철 고온현상, 장기간의 가뭄 및 강수량 부족 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 산정한 조건으로 기후영향취약성평가를 실시한 결과, 충주와 청양지역 모두 과거에 비해 최근에 취약성이 높아진 경향을 나타냈다. 옥수수의 생산성에 있어서 보다 정확한 기후영향취약성 평가를 위해서는 토양수분, 습도 등의 다양한 기후요인을 산정한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. A two-year study was conducted from 2017 to 2018 by the establishment of a test field at Chungju-si and Cheongyang-gun. Plant height, number of leaves, insects and diseases, and fresh and dry matter yields for corn hybrid('Kwangpyeongok') were investigated. Daily average, maximum, and minimum temperature, monthly average temperature, daily precipitation, and sunshine duration during the growing season were investigated. We selected climate-critical factors to corn productivity and conducted an evaluation of vulnerability to climate change from 1999 to 2018 for both regions. In 2018, the dry matter yield of forage corn was 6,475 and 7,511 kg/ha in Chungju and Cheongyang, respectively, which was half of that in 2017. The high temperature and drought phenomenon in the 2018 summer caused the corn yield to be low. As well as temperature, precipitation is an important climatic factor in corn production. As a result of climate impact vulnerability assessment, the vulnerability has increased recently compared to the past. It is anticipated that if the high temperature phenomenon and drought caused by climate change continues, a damage in corn production will occur.

We propose a novel blood biomarker detection method thatuses miRNA super-resolution imaging to enable the early diagnosisof Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we report a singlemoleculedetection method for visualizing disease-specificmiRNA in tissue from an AD mice model, and peripheral bloodmononuclear cells (PBMCs) from AD patients. Using optimizedMagnified Analysis of Proteome (MAPs), we confirmed that fivemiRNAs contribute to neurodegenerative disease in the brainhippocampi of 5XFAD and wild-type mice. We also assessedPBMCs isolated from the whole blood of AD patients and ahealthy control group, and subsequently analyzed those samplesusing miRNA super-resolution imaging. We detected moremiR-200a-3p expression in the cornu ammonis 1 and dentategyrus regions of 3 month-old 5XFAD mice than in wild-typemice. Additionally, miRNA super-resolution imaging of bloodprovides AD diagnosis platform for studying miRNA regulationinside cells at the single molecule level. Our results present apotential liquid biopsy method that could improve the diagnosisof early stage AD and other diseases.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 한국인들의 독특한 문화와 가치관을 반영하는 삶의 의미의 기본적 구조를 밝히고자 하 였다. 방 법: 정성적 조사방법과 정량적 조사방법의 두가지 조사방법이 이용되었고, 이에 따라 각 연구를 위한 두 차례의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 정성적 조사방법을 이용한 첫번째 연구는 탐험적 연구(exploratory study)로 한국인들의 삶의 의미의 가능한 모든 원천을 알아내기 위해 content analysis를 실시하였다. 반면, 정량적 조사방법을 이용한 두 번째 연구에서는 한국인의 삶의 의미의 구조를 결정하기 위한 것으 로, 두번째 연구에서 추출한 한국인들의 삶의 의미 원천을 바탕으로 구성한 설문지를 이용하여, 한국인들 의 현재 삶의 의미의 수준을 측정한 후, 요인분석을 실시하였다. 결 과: 173명을 대상으로 한 첫번째 연구에서는 106개의 삶의 의미 항목이 추출되었고, 638명을 대상으로 한 두 번째 연구에서는 첫번째 연구에서 추출된 항목들이 10개의 요인으로 설명되었다. 한국인의 삶의 의 미 구조를 설명하는 10개 요인들은 다음과 같다:성취감(Achievement), 안전(Security), 종교(Religion), 수용(Acceptance & Affirmation), 관계(Relationship), 자기초월(Self-Transcendence), 인성(Good Character), 자기수련(Self-Discipline), 신체적 건강(Physical Health), 친밀한 친구( Intimate Friend). 토 의: 본 연구에서 추출된 10개의 요인 중, 안전(Security), 수용(Acceptance and Affirmation), 인성(Good Character), 자기수련(Self-Discipline), 신체적 건강(Physical Health)은 문화와 가치관이 다른 서양 사 람들의 삶의 의미와 비교할때, 한국인의 삶의 의미를 설명하는 독특한 요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국인 의 삶의 의미를 올바로 측정하기 위해서는 한국인의 독특한 문화와 가치관을 반영한 측정도구가 개발되 어야 할 것이며, 본 연구에서 추출된 한국인의 삶의 의미구조가 정신병리와 사회적 현상에 미치는 영향 에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다 Objectives:The purpose was to explore sources of Koreans’ life meaning and determine its structure that is reflective of Koreans’ unique culture and values. Methods:The study consisted of both qualitative and quantitative research methods. To this end, two sample data sets were collected. Study One was an exploratory study in which the qualitative component was conducted in order to gather all possible attributes of sources of life meaning among Koreans. All possible sources of life meaning were extracted through content analysis. Study Two was a quantitative study using a closed questionnaire and conducted in order to determine the structure of Koreans’ life meaning by measuring Koreans’ current level of life meaning. For the study, factor analysis was carried out. Results:From Study One, 106 attributes of all possible sources of Koreans’ life meaning were extracted. In Study Two, factor analysis with the responses from 638 subjects reduced 106 attributes to 53 attributes and ten factors were extracted as Koreans’ sources of life meaning:Achievement, Security, Religion, Acceptance & Affirmation, Relationship, Self-Transcendence, Good Character, Self-Discipline, Physical Health and Intimate Friend. Conclusion and Implications:Among the ten factors extracted from this study, the factors of Security, Acceptance and Affirmation, Good Character, Self-Discipline, and Physical Health are Koreans’ unique factors of Life Meaning, while Achievement, Religion, Relationship, Self-Transcendence and Intimate Friend are comparable to Wong’s1) Personal Meaning Profile for Canadians. It implies that it is necessary to develop Koreans’ own measurement tool in order to assess their life meaning properly. However, because this study was an exploratory in developing Koreans’ life meaning measurement and had several limitations, in order to determine structure of Koreans’ life meaning, further study must be necessary
