An Evaluative Study on the Quality of Papers on the Effects of the Smoking Prevention Programs in Korea

Park, Eunok Korean Society for Health Education and Promotion 2003 보건교육건강증진학회지 Vol.20 No.4

This investigation was performed to summarize a few prominent features of smoking prevention program studies and to evaluate the quality of smoking prevention program studies using the Quality of Study Rating Form (QSRF). 24 school-based smoking prevention programs were subjected to an evaluation of study quality using QSRF. Study quality was 57.29 points out of 100 points on average, so it cannot be said that study quality was good. Most of the studies described the subjects and the intervention contents and intervention time. 50% stated where the intervention occurred specifically, 50% of the studies either discussed a specific theory that justified the use of one or more intervention methods, or they cited literature said to support the chosen intervention method. Only one study assigned subjects randomly to experimental groups or control groups and 50.0% of the studies showed baseline equality. There was no study where subjects were blind to being in the treatment or control group or where subjects were selected randomly by random sampling procedure. 79.2% of the studies had non-treated control groups and 20.8% of the studies had comparison groups with other treatments in the form of either other delivery methods or other contents. Sample sizes were larger than 21 in the experimental group for all studies. 75% of the studies stated face validity of outcome measure or cited from previous literature. 58.3% of the studies tested reliability and 45.8% reported the reliability measure was a figure of .70 or greater. There was no study where those rating outcomes were rated blind, because researchers generally collected data by themselves. Outcome measures were taken only after the intervention was completed and tests of statistical significance were generally referred to statistical method and p value in all studies. All studies met the criteria that follow-up was greater than 75%. The implications for the future studies were discussed.

Individual differences in cardiac vagal tone are associated with differential neural responses to facial expressions at different spatial frequencies: an ERP and sLORETA study.

Park, Gewnhi,Moon, Eunok,Kim, Do-Won,Lee, Seung-Hwan Psychonomic Society 2012 Cognitive, affective & behavioral neuroscience Vol.12 No.4

<P>A previous study has shown that greater cardiac vagal tone, reflecting effective self-regulatory capacity, was correlated with superior visual discrimination of fearful faces at high spatial frequency Park et al. (Biological Psychology 90:171-178, 2012b). The present study investigated whether individual differences in cardiac vagal tone (indexed by heart rate variability) were associated with different event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in response to fearful and neutral faces. Thirty-six healthy participants discriminated the emotion of fearful and neutral faces at broad, high, and low spatial frequencies, while ERPs were recorded. Participants with low resting heart rate variability-characterized by poor functioning of regulatory systems-exhibited significantly greater N200 activity in response to fearful faces at low spatial frequency and greater LPP responses to neutral faces at high spatial frequency. Source analyses-estimated by standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA)-tended to show that participants with low resting heart rate variability exhibited increased source activity in visual areas, such as the cuneus and the middle occipital gyrus, as compared with participants with high resting heart rate variability. The hyperactive neural activity associated with low cardiac vagal tone may account for hypervigilant response patterns and emotional dysregulation, which heightens the risk of developing physical and emotional problems.</P>

A Study on Ethics of Arbitrators Focusing on Impartiality and Independence – with Implications for Korea

Eunok Park 한국무역학회 2015 Journal of Korea trade Vol.19 No.4

With many advantages, arbitration has become one of the most effective and efficient dispute resolution systems in international commercial transactions. Since arbitration is a private system that relies on arbitrators, who are also private persons, selecting an arbitrator is one of the most important processes in arbitration. The qualifications for arbitrators vary in different jurisdictions, but the common qualifications regarding arbitrator ethics are defined either in national laws or in the rules of arbitral institutions. Most national laws and arbitral institutions’ rules require arbitrators to be impartial and independent, but their definitions are not clearly determined. Although it seems somewhat late, the KCAB is drafting ‘the Codes of Ethics for Arbitrators’ who are serving for arbitration cases under the jurisdiction of the KCAB. The draft is based on the frame of the IBA Rules of Ethics, but it will need some additions as well as modifications. Upon drafting the ethical codes, it is necessary to clearly determine the meaning of impartiality and independence which are mostly discussed regarding arbitrators’ ethical obligations. Therefore, this paper studies arbitrators’ ethical obligations regulated in the various national laws and the rules of arbitral institutions. This paper mostly focuses on impartiality and independence of arbitrators.

Objectives: This study is to investigate the prevalence and related factors of metabolic syndrome among Korean adults aged 20 years and above. Methods: From the database of the 5^th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V) conducted in 2010, data of 5,670 adults who responded to all the questionnaires of health interview and had metabolic syndrome in the health examination were included in this analysis. SAS 9.2 was used for statistical analysis with complex sample survey modules and commands. Results: The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome based on the criteria proposed by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) was 18.8%. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in each group was: 20.7% of women, 43.1% among elderly over 70 years old, 40.6% of the divorced or the separated, 27.6% of recipients of economic support from the government, 23.6% of people who had alcohol dependency problem, and 43.7% of overweight or obese adults. Independent risk factors based on the multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that prevalence of metabolic syndrome was associated with female (odds ratio 1.59 [95% confidence interval 1.20-2.11]), age (50s 3.95 [2.11-7.37], 60s 5.62 [2.98-10.61], 70s 10.56 [5.25-21.25]), high school education (0.52 [0.37-0.74]), clerk occupation (2.14 [1.27-3.60]), divorced marital status (1.72 [1.15-2.59]), alcohol dependency (1.86 [1.16-2.98]), higher BMI (14.08 [10.60-18.70]). Conclusions: The metabolic syndrome is prevalent among Korean adult population according to IDF criteria. Several demographic characteristics and potentially modifiable factors are associated with metabolic syndrome. Identification of this high-risk group and management of these modifiable factors are warranted to reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

박은옥(Eunok Park),장인순(Insun Jang) 한국콘텐츠학회 2013 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.13 No.5

본 연구는 재가노인의 낙상환경위험평가 도구를 개발하고, 신뢰도와 타당도를 검정하는 방법론적 연구이다. 예비문항은 20인의 관련 전문가에 의한 CVI(내용타당도 지수)를 사용한 내용타당도 검정을 실시하여 최종 52문항을 선정하였다. 최종도구의 타당도 및 신뢰도 검정을 위해 65세 이상 재가노인 299명에게 자료수집을 실시하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 조사자간 신뢰도는 1개 문항을 제외한 51개 문항에서 모두 kappa값이 0.80 이상으로 나타나 신뢰도가 인정되었고, 재조사방법을 통하여 나타난 일치율은 45개 문항에서 모두 80.0% 이상으로 나타났다. 구성타당도도 낙상군과 비낙상군간에 낙상환경위험평가 점수가 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내 입증되었다(t=3.50, p=.001). 본 도구는 타당도와 신뢰도가 검증되었고, 낙상예방을 위한 더 안전한 환경의 개발과 관련된 추후연구에 기여할 것이다. The purpose of the study was to develop the home fall prevention checklist for community-dwelling older adults. And the validity and reliability of the checklist were tested. The preliminary questions were developed through content validity by twenty experts using the CVI(Content Validity Index). Following the establishment of content validity, 52 items of the checklist were developed. Responses of 299 community-dwelling older adults were analyzed to further establish both reliability and validity of the checklist. Reliability using cohens kappa coefficient and test-retest reliability(rate of concordance(%)), and construct validity using known-group comparison technique were tested. 51 items were over 0.80 in the cohens kappa coefficient of the checklist, 45 items were over 80.0% in test-retest reliability. Construct validity was established by known-group comparison(t=3.50, p=.001). Validity and reliability of the checklist were confirmed. This checklist will help further studies to develop more safe environment to prevent falls.
