This study examines the impact of sleep duration on Korean adolescents' suicidal impulse. A gender-based analysis was conducted using binary logistic regression method. The major findings are as follows. First, weekday sleep duration had a significant effect only on male adolescents. Male adolescents who sleep less than seven hours on a weekday are likely to experience suicidal impulse by 1.9 times higher than the others. This effect remained significant even when other relevant variables were controlled. On the other hand, female adolescents who have less than seven hours of sleep on a weekday have about 1.3 times higher chances to experience suicidal impulse. However, this effect became insignificant when other variables such as stress were controlled. Meanwhile, weekend sleep duration did not have any significant effect on both male and female adolescents. By demonstrating the different effects between weekday/weekend sleep duration and male/female adolescents, this study supports the claim that it is necessary to take a social approach in studying sleep duration.

This study is to identify the factors related to smokers' intention to quit smoking and the differences between male and female smokers. We used data from Community Health Survey of 2017 and a total of 39,435 participated in the study. It was analyzed through IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 to conduct frequency analysis and binary logistic regression analysis. We found that gender, age, marital status, education, household income, subjective health, attempts to quit smoking, exposure to quit smoking campaigns, education to quit smoking, and number of cigarettes per day are related to the smokers' intention to quit smoking. For male smokers, education and household income are relevant to their intention to quit smoking, unlike female smokers. The findings suggest that smoking cessation campaigns and education are necessary for smokers with low level of education or income. Further, it indicates that gender differences should be taken into consideration upon intervention program.

Recently, it has been possible to the alphoid gene, which has X and Y specificity, and determine the sex from human physical evidence using PCR methods. Samples from single sources, PCR method applied to the alphoid gene results in highly sensitive and accurate results even when only 60 pg of the genomic DNA was available for sex determination. Even for samples containing DNA from more than one gender source where the female DNA was present in the amount 10 times than that of the male, sex determination was possible. Therefore, this result suggests that alphoid gene, which has X and Y specificity, could be used effectively for sex determination in case of mixed DNA samples from biological evidence.

게임 개발 방향은 주로 많은 비중을 차지하는 10대 및 20대의 남성을 대상으로 이루어져왔다. 그러나 최근 여성게이머의 증가와 여성을 대상으로 하는 게임의 등장 등 게임소비자의 구성이 다변화되어가고 있다. 이러한 상황에 비해, 게임이용자에 대한 연구나 실태조사는 성별간의 차이를 감안하여 분석한 사례가 매우 드물고, 이와 함께 새로이 유입되어 증가 추세에 있는 여성 게이머들이 선호하는 게임 개발은 여전히 활성화되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 게임장르별 게임이용 방식 및 선호에 대한 견해를 남성과 여성으로 구분하여 살펴보고, 더 나아가 남성과 여성 각각의 주요 게임장르별 이용방식 및 견해의 차이를 분석함으로써, 게임콘텐츠의 개발 방향이 타겟이 되는 소비자의 성별에 차별적인 요인을 감안하는 것이 필요함을 보여주고자 하였다. 특히 각 장르별로 선호하는 게임 요소에도 차이를 보이고 있어 보다 세분화된 콘텐츠 구성방식에 대한 고민이 요구된다.

This study attempted to investigate the relationship among engineering students' creativity, engineering education accreditation, gender, and academic year. To be specific, fist, we examined the validity and reliability of the instrument for measuring engineering students' creativity by conducting Rasch analysis. Second, we compared level of creativity in terms of gender, academic year, and engineering education accreditation by using three-way ANOVA. Third, correlations among four constructs of creativity were examined. Fourth, latent classes with respect to creativity within the participants were identified using polytomous latent class analysis (poLCA). Data were collected from 2098 engineering students by using instrument for measuring four different constructs (creative cognition, creative tendency, collaboration, environment). By using Rasch analysis, validity and reliability of instrument for measuring creativity were confirmed. And the results of three-way ANOVA showed that there were significant difference in creativity in terms of gender. Female students showed the low level of creativity compared with male students. Also there were significant difference in creativity except creative cognition factor in terms of academic year. But there were no significant difference in creativity between students who participated engineering education accreditation program and the others. All constructs of creativity were significantly correlated with each others. Lastly, poLCA results showed that there were three distinct subgroups within engineering students in terms of the level of creativity. In the subgroup with low creativity, there were more female and first year students. Based on these findings, we discussed education for engineering students' creativity.

최근 중합효소연쇄반응을 이용한 분자생물학적 유전자분석기술의 발달로 성염색체상의 유전좌위 증폭을 통한 성별감정이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그중 사람 Y염색체상에 존재하는 남성 고환의 형성을 유도하는 sex-determining region Y(SRY) gene이 규명되어 유전질환의 조기 발견이나 예방 및 태아의 성별판정 등에 응용되고 있다. 그러나, 치아는 외부 환경에 대한 저항성이 가장 높은 장기로 성별감정 등 법의치과학적 개인식별에 널리 이용되고 있음에도 불구하고, SRY 유전자를 이용하여 치아에서의 성별감정에 대한 연구는 시도된 바 없다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 사람 치아에서 중합효소연쇄반응법을 이용한 SRY 유전자를 검출하여 성별판정에 용용하고자 하였다. 남녀 각각 20개 치아의 치수와 상아질에서 DNA를 추출하여 중합효소연쇄반응 을 시행하고 SRY 유전자를 검색한 결과, 남성에서는 치수 13개중 8개, 상아질 7개중 4개에서 SRY 유전자가 검출되었고, 여생에서는 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 중합효소연쇄반응법을 이용하여 사람 치아에서 SRY 유전자를 검색할 때, 남성판별에 유용하고 치아를 이용한 성별감정시 기존의 성별감정에 이용되고 있는 다른 유전자와 함께 SRY 유전자를 검색함으로써 성별감정의 신뢰도를 높힐 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study focused on examining the impact of the social context that causes gender differences in entrepreneurship, not the phenomenon itself. Specifically, this study verified the moderating effect of the social context on the relationship between gender and entrepreneurship using data from 20 countries in the Global Entrepreneurship Trend Report (GETR). In order to test hypotheses involving social context implications, Hofstede's cultural dimension factors such as power distance, individualism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance variables, and institutional factors such as gender equality and social security are used as specific variables reflecting the social context. Empirical analysis through GLM found that gender did not independently influence entrepreneurship, and gender had a significant effect by interacting with power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, gender equality, and social security variables, respectively. Such empirical results show that the gender difference in entrepreneurship is not due to the unique characteristics inherent in each gender but on the level of the country's social context to which the individual belongs.

Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) has become an important technique for examining changes in human brain structure with neurological disorders. Brain development is a very complex process, and is affected by neurogenesiss and genetic programs. As age increases, structures of the brain change, which can contribute to the formation of brain diseases. Among the various factors, Gender is one of the greatest influential factors that affect the development of a healthy brain. The images were analyzed through various programs found in FSL such as SIENAX, FIRST, and Vertex analysis. Our results show that significant gender-related differences in subcortical areas were observed at the particular age group. The magnitude of these differences between gender and volume varied depending on the area investigated. In this study, we used more advanced 3T MRI for the structural analysis of subcortical structures between each gender. In addition, Vertex Analysis was used to visualize the volumetric differences in subcortical structures between each gender. This study is limited to groups in their 70s, therefore, further studies are needed for wider age groups.
