Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting childhood asthma and atopic dermatitis. Methods: For this study, data for 1,170 children (1-11 years) from the Fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V-2, 2011) were analyzed. First correlation matrices were computed to test the normality of every data set and then to be in accordance with the real demographic composition, data were added weight before being analyzed. Results: The child with asthma of a three generation family (OR=3.91, 95% CI [1.33, 11.45], p=.013) compared with a two generation family showed higher asthma development, and maternal asthma (OR=9.71, 95% CI [2.66, 35.40], p=.001) showed higher asthma development in child. The only factor affecting atopic dermatitis was parental perceptions of child health: poor (OR=3.40, 95% CI [1.29, 8.98], p=.014). Conclusion: These results suggest that childhood asthma and atopic dermatitis are both affected by parental perceptions of child health. Accordingly, management and support programs for children who have asthma and/or atopic dermatitis and their families should be comprehensive and also give attention to any other health problems because health perception represents quality of life.

Functional dyspepsia is one of the most common bowel disorders as prevalent of 7.7% Korean population. The cardinal manifestations include bothersome postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric burning or pain. These features are chronic and should be presented recurrently with no other compatible organic disease to explain the symptoms. Even though it is not life-shortening, functional dyspepsia usually make the health-related quality of life worse especially if other functional bowel disorder coexist. The coexistence of functional bowel disorders is called as 'overlap syndrome'. Anxiety, somatization and insomnia is more prevalent in overlap syndrome compared with sole functional bowel disorder. Therefore, it is worthwhile that physician interviews and elucidates whether the dyspeptic patient had other kinds of functional bowel disorders, and manages the underlying psychotic pathology. Placebo effect is large in functional dyspepsia, and there is only four kinds of prokinetics that is proven to be superior to placebo. Adverse events relating prolonged administration of prokinetics sometimes fatal or irreversible, physician willing to describe prokinetics should be familiar to the possible adverse effects and the relating risk factors. Pathologic acid reflux is not uncommon in functional dyspepsia, and acid-suppressant is equivalent to the prokientics in most of dyspeptic patients.

At present, CPTED projects are showing an effect such as reducing the anxiety of residents from crimes and improving the criminal environment about crimes through crime prevention. However, most of the CPTED programs have been implemented mainly to improve the physical environment without verifying systematically and empirically on the relationship between the program and improving the quality of life of residents and satisfaction level of residents etc. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to grope for a plan to apply CPTED to urban regeneration for improvement in the safety and life quality of residents using AHP and Visualizing The Mental Map. For this, We selected four case areas in Busan and then analyzed the dead zones of CPTED programs by visualizing the mental maps and heat maps of residents for case districts. As a result of evaluating the priority of CPTED program, installation of CCTVs and streetlights for prevention of crimes was found to be the most important elements. Result of analyzing mental map, the existing crime prevention facilities and CPTED programs were found to have resolved most of physical disorder. However, it showed that, for psychological factors which the residents feel such as social disorder, a number of dead zones exist.

Since more than 30 different information systems are collecting and providing construction related information, it is difficult for information users to figure out where and how to acquire the required information. Even if the user find the information, it is hard to meet users demand. Because the current systems accumulate the data just as administrative data and can do not connect the information from the different phases of the lifecycle for the specific facility. The information collected and managed in different information systems should be integrated in terms of lifecycle of the facility to improve money for value of public investment, the quality of life by improving quality of the facility and to provide the foundation for big data utilization in the construction industry. This paper suggested strategic planning for the development of the (assumed name) "The Lifecycle Integrated Construction Information Portal" as a foundation to use the data in construction industry, by investigating prerequisites and suggesting conceptual framework of the system.

제방은 제내지에 거주하는 인간의 재산과 삶을 방어하고, 홍수를 제어하는 가장 기본적인 수공구조물이다. 제방파괴 원인은 월류, 활동, 침식, 그리고 침투 등으로 분류되어 질 수 있다. 특히 간극수압에 의해 발생하는 침투는 제방 내부침식(internal erosion) 및 파이핑(piping) 등을 야기함으로서 제방파괴를 유도한다. 침투에 의한 제방파괴는 월류나 침식에 의한 제방파괴 유형보다 상대적으로 적으나, 다른 제방파괴 원인을 더욱 활성화 시키는 인자로 작용한다. 도시하천의 경우 높은 치수안전도를 적용하여 제방을 축조함에 따라 월류에 의한 붕괴보다 강우와 하천수의 복합요인에 의한 침투파괴가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 침투와 활동에 대한 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 침투보강기법인 단면확대기법에 대한 적용성 및 유의사항을 수치모의를 통해 검토하였다. 제방 비탈면 경사를 1:2 확대할 경우, 침투유속이 70 %정도 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 단면확대기법은 홍수시 통수능과 제내지의 부지 확보 문제 등을 고려하여 적용하여야 하며, 도시하천에서 단면확대기법을 적용하는 데는 일정부분 한계를 가질 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study examined general characteristics, health status, accessibility to medical services, health-related quality of life, dietary behavior, and energy and nutrient intakes of the elderly at different levels of food security utilizing data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018). Methods: The elderly subjects (1,721 males and 2,271 females) were divided into 3 groups (secure, mildly insecure, moderately/severely insecure) according to their food security levels. Health and nutrient status was determined using energy intake, nutrient density, the prevalence of insufficient nutrient intake, dietary behavior, and health status. Results: The elderly with food insecurities had a lower self-evaluated health status and a higher prevalence of physician-diagnosed chronic diseases such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis for males, and hypertension, stroke, arthritis, and osteoarthritis for females. The associated financial burden was the major reason for not accessing medical services in the food insecure group. Furthermore, the food insecure group had a higher risk of impaired health-related quality of life compared to the secure group. The proportion of subjects with an energy intake below the estimated energy requirement was higher in the food insecure group and a significantly higher prevalence of insufficient intake was observed for all the nutrients (proteins, vitamin A, vitamin B₁, vitamin B₂, niacin, vitamin C, calcium, and iron) assessed in this study compared to the food secure group. Conclusion: This study suggests that food insecurity poses a challenge to the health and nutritional status of the elderly population in Korea and needs proper management. It would be helpful to develop food and nutrition assistance programs to ensure the food stability of the elderly population and assure quality to address gaps in their nutrient intake.
