이 글에서는 사회적 고립이 새로운 사회적 위험으로 등장한 데 주목하여, 사회문제로서의 심각성을 확인하기 위해 심리적 측면과 경제적 측면에서 고립의 사회적 비용을 추산하였다. 곤란한 일이 있을 때 도움을 요청할 지지체계가 없는 국내 고립 인구의 비율은 2019년 기준 21.7%로 OECD 가입국 중 가장 높은 수준이다. 갤럽 월드 폴 원자료를 이용해 고립의 심리적 비용을 분석한 결과, 한 사람이 곤란한 일을 경험했을 때 도움을 요청할 지지체계가 없는 상태로 고립된다면 행복 수준을 회복하기 위해서는 가구소득의 4.79배가 필요하다. 학령기를 마친 한 사람이 청년기인 만 25세에 은둔을 시작하여 독립적인 경제활동을 개시하지 않고 빈곤한 상태에 머물러 공공부조를 받는다고 가정하면, 은둔의 경제적 비용은 1인당 약 15억 원에 이른다. 포스트 코로나를 준비하는 지금, 새로운 사회적 위험으로 등장한 사회적 고립에 대해 우리 사회가 적극적으로 관심을 기울여야 할 때이다. This study estimates the social cost of isolation from the psychological and economic aspects. As of 2019, the proportion of the isolated population in Korea who reported having no one to turn to in times of trouble was 21.7%, the highest among OECD member countries. Results from the analysis using the Gallup World Poll data suggest that someone who has been isolated without anyone to turn to help needs 4.79 times as much as his or her household income to restore his or her previous life satisfaction level. It is estimated to cost as much as 1.5 billion Korean won to support someone who begins living a socially-isolated life at the age of 25 and remains isolated without taking part in the labor market. As we preparing for the post-COVID-19, social isolation becomes a new social risk, and it is time for our society to actively pay attention.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of fatigue, anxiety, depression, and cognitive function on the quality of life of gastrointestinal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods: Data were collected from a total of 141 participants. The measurements used were Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy for fatigue (FACIT-F), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for cognitive function (FACT-Cog). Results: Significant correlations were found among fatigue, anxiety, depression, cognitive function, and quality of life. The mean score of quality of life was 59.60 out of 108, and 68% of the variance in QOL was explained by fatigue, anxiety, depression, and cognitive function. Cognitive function was the most influential factor (β=.30), followed by anxiety (β=-.27), depression (β=-.24), and fatigue (β=-.18). We found that the better the cognitive function, the lower the anxiety and depression, and the lower the degree of fatigue, the higher the quality of life. Conclusion: A nursing program for managing the changes in fatigue, anxiety, depression, and cognitive function should be provided to enhance maintenance and the improvement of the quality of life for gastrointestinal cancer patients who receive chemotherapy.

Seonha Han,Suneung Ahn 한국산업경영시스템학회 2013 한국산업경영시스템학회 학술대회 Vol.2013 No.춘계

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed for finding a degree of influence of risks affecting the project. At risk identification step, all risks are structured in forms of block diagrams after risks of project activities are identified. At risk analysis step, reliability functions are derived based on block diagrams of risks. Reliability function represents the probability of the project success. Based on the derived reliability functions, risks importance is defined as a criterion for expressing a degree of influence of each risk affecting the success of the project, which is. Risks importance includes the structural importance of risk, the probability of risk, and the impact of risk. It could be applied to determine the priorities of risks which should be controlled, and the use of such priorities could guarantee successful project activities. Finally, examples of the proposed mathematical models will be given.

The Mediating Effect of the Perceived Value in the Relationship Between the Self-Paced Motivation of Purchase of Beauty Device and the Intent to Use Continuously for Middle-Aged Women BODILY

Seongae Son,Eunsook Kim,Hanna Park J-INSTITUTE 2021 Kinesiology Vol.6 No.3

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine whether the motivation of purchase of the self paced beauty device of middle-aged women s body has any effect on the perceived value and the intent to use continuously. In particular, since the expansion of the self-beauty management in the women s market and the cost-effectiveness due to the COVID-19 turned increasingly important, it is sought to analyze the motivation of purchase for the products and develop the products meeting the consumer needs of the middle-aged women to develop a differen-tiated marketing strategy for the self-beauty devices, and offer assistance for the basic data to improve the con-sumption value of the continuous use by the middle-aged women. Method: The subjects of this study were middle-aged women aged 35 to 65 experienced in the self-paced beauty devices,, and to validate the research issue, 523 copies of online questionnaires were utilized for 17 cities and provinces across the nation by using the SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0 programs, and in order to examine the validity of the observed variables forming the latent variables, the confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the convergent validity and the discriminant validity while the structural equation model was used to validate the inter-variable direct effect and indirect effect. Results: As a result of the analysis performed, it turned out that effectiveness(β=.505, p<.001), reliability(β=.352, p<.001), and aesthetics(β=.072, p<.05) influenced the perceived value by the motivation of purchase, and it turned out that reliability(β=.438, p<.001) and effectiveness(β=.418, p<.001) influenced the intent to use continu-ously by the motivation of purchase. Based on the results of this study, it turned out that the higher the motiva-tion of purchase and the larger the perceived value, the greater the intent to use continuously, and in particular, aesthetics, effectiveness, and reliability turned out to be important factors for the sub-factors of the motivation of purchase. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it turned out that the higher the motivation of purchase and the larger the perceived value, the greater the intent to use continuously, it is evident that the functional value and psychologi-cal value of the perception granted to the products by the variable of the motivation of purchase are crucial in determining the intent to use continuously the self-paced beauty devices for the middle-aged women’s body and maintaining the consumers. It is also meaningful in that, since the changes in the self-beauty management device market due to the COVID-19 is expected to further expand, it offers implications useful for the beauty device in-dustry according to the motivation of purchase for the consumption value as a detailed sustainability strategy for providing the customized beauty device services satisfying the needs of the consumers.

Posterior approach technique in mild ptosis repair

Seontae Kim,Longyu Jin,Jiyoung Suh,Heebae Ahn 대한미용의학회 2018 대한미용의학회지 Vol.2 No.1

Background: The success rates of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection vary in reports of previous studies, with 81% to 88.6% success rates having been reported in other countries. Few studies have reported on the surgical success rates of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection in Korea compared to the number of reports on other methods of blepharoptosis repair. We therefore sought to determine the clinical efficacy and success rate of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection in patients with mild blepharoptosis and identify the factors that affect the surgical success rate. Objective: This study was performed to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and success rate of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection (posterior approach technique) in patients with mild blepharoptosis and to identify the factors that affect its surgical success rate. Methods: Surgeries were performed by one surgeon in 30 patients (35 eyes) and only when the marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) increased over 1 mm at 5 minutes after the administration of 0.25% phenylephrine eye drops. The MRD1, MRD2, Brow-pupil distance (BPD), and interpalpebral fissure (IPF) were measured pre-operatively, 1 month post-operatively, and at the final follow-up visit. Results: The mean MRD1 increased significantly from 0.83±0.96 mm pre-operatively to 2.45±0.77 mm post-operatively (p=0.012). The mean IPF also increased significantly from 5.54±2.04 mm pre-operatively to 7.62±1.85 mm post-operatively (p=0.003). The mean BPD, however, did not change significantly (22.94±4.96 mm pre-operatively and 23.19±5.72 mm post-operatively, p=0.863). The post-operative MRD1 for the eye with blepharoptosis was less than 1 mm compared to that for the opposite eye. Conclusion: Conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection is a safe and effective surgical method in patients with mild or moderate blepharoptosis with good levator palpebrae muscle function in which the post-operative results can be predicted on the basis of the amount of muscle resection.
