본 연구의 목적은 아동성폭력의 정의에 대한 한국간호사들의 인식의 특성을 알아보는 것이다. 보다 구체적으로, 양호교사와 병원간호사 간의 인식의 일치정도를 밝히고, 간호사들이 아동성폭력의 심각도를 판단함에 있어, 아동성폭력과 관련된 다양한 변수들의 상대적 중요성을 규명하는데 초점을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 503명의 병원 간호사와 526명의 양호교사를 대상으로 한 vignette디자인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 아동성폭력 상황을 구성하는 일곱 개의 변수 (성폭력 행위 성폭력 빈도, 피해자의 연령, 피해자의 저항, 가해자의 연령, 가해자와 피해자의 교차성별, 가해자와 피해자의 관계)의 조합을 통해 64개의 vignettes를 만들었는데, 이는 1/4 factorial 디자인의 결과이다. 각 설문 대상자에 대해 64개의 vignettes가운데 16개의 vignettes를 무작위로 추출하고, 그 vignettes에 나타난 각 성폭력상황들의 심각 정도를 표시하도록 하였다. 연구결과에서 양호교사와 병원간호사는 아동성폭력의 심각도 인식에 있어 일치를 나타냈다. 각 상황변수들이 미치는 영향에 있어서는 양호교사와 병원간호사 간에 다소 차이를 보였으나, 성폭력 상황을 정의함에 있어서는 근본적인 인식에 일치를 보였다 두 집단 모두에서 성폭력행위 피해자의 저항, 가해자와 피해자의 교차성별, 성폭력 빈도, 가해자의 연령이 아동성폭력 인식에 영향하는 주요 요인으로 나타났다 한편, 가해자와 피해자의 관계는 주요 영향요인이 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 피해자의 연령은 양호교사 집단에서는 어느 정도 영향을 미치는 변수로, 병원간호사 집단에서는 별다른 영향이 없는 변수로 분석되었다. 결론적으로, 양호교사와 병원간호사는 잠재되어 있는 아동성폭력의 심각도에 대해 동일하게 판단한다. 본 연구결과는 법적, 전문가적 의미에서 아동성폭력 신고자로서의 의무를 지닌 한국간호사들의 아동성폭력에 대한 인식일치가, 그 역할 수행에 도움이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Age and growth of spotted halibut, Verasper variegatus were determined using samples collected from commercial catch in the Southern Sea, Korea. Age was determined by counting the otolith annuli which were clearly defined between translucent and opaque zones, and formed between February and March. Growth of spotted halibut was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's equation as $L_t=71.07(1-e^{{\cdot}0.3036(t-0.1173)})$ for females and $L_t=57.44(1-e^{-0.2931(t+0.1590)})$ for males. Almost all the fish examined were younger than 3 years old. The oldest fish was 6 years old in female and 4 years old in male.

Age and growth of the yellow goosefish, Lophius litulon, were studied using samples collected from the southwestern waters of Korea. Vertebrae of the fish had relatively clear annuli on their surface. The opaque zone of vertebrae was formed once a year between March and April. The oldest fish observed in this study was 8 years old for females and 5 years old for males. The relationship between the radius (R) of vertebral centrum and total length (L) was as follows: L=12.7+4.8R for females and L=9.8+5.6R for males. The relationship between total length and body weight (W) was as follows : $W=0.0089L^{3.0311}$ for females and $W=0.0329L^{2.7752}$ for males. Growth in length of the fish was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's equation as $L_t=127.60(1-e^{-0.1228(t+0.3851)})$ for females and $L_t=82.23(1-e^{-0.1832(t+0.6431)})$ for males.

The purpose of this study is to explore variables that affect users' perceived value of mobile advertising and actual response intention and to analyze causal relationships among variables. In order to verify the relational significance, we built new research model and hypotheses based on the Ducoffe's model(1996). And we found out four independent variables such as entertainment, information usefulness, convenience, economical efficiency, and advertising impact's value as a mediating variable. Especially, we classified into four multi-age groups to investigate properly moderating effects through SEM(path analysis) and difference test. Therefore, it is academical and practical worth that we developed our model to appropriate on mobile advertising's unique property and that we verified our hypotheses and variables focused on age group, whereas previous research did not. For this, we surveyed 345 samples for conducting structural equation modeling in empirical approach. The results of this study supported the statistical significance of all hypotheses except but convenience.

The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influencing the upper airway dimensions in skeletal Class II children and adolescents. In total, 67 patients were selected. Airway volume and minimal cross-sectional area were three-dimensionally assessed. Craniofacial morphology and skeletal maturity were assessed on generated two-dimensional cephalograms. The measurements were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Upper airway dimensions were significantly smaller in pre-peak stage group, and positively associated with age. Anterior facial height and age were the most relevant factors for airway volume. Mandibular width and age were the most relevant factors for minimal cross-sectional area. Upper airway dimensions were significantly associated with age, skeletal maturity and craniofacial morphology in all three planes.

This study aims to explore the relationship between onset drinking age and the current Body Mass Index (BMI) level stratified by sex. This study used the data of Korea Community Health Survey (KCHS) 2019, of which 206,987 participants included in study populations for multivariable binomial logistic regression model. The study results show the evidence that the early age of onset alcohol consumption had significantly associated with abnormal BMI status in adult male. These results could be explained by high alcohol consumption and sex difference in social atmosphere which encourages men to drink more. Our findings suggest the need to prevent problem drinking for reducing the long-term side effects of health.

The study is to recognize the interactions with bone ages by measuring the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate on selected highest weight of regions of seven for bone maturity in TW3 method. The experiment is subjected on seventy-two children (36 males, 36 females) who have examined the growth plate test from March, 2014 to March, 2015 and implemented a regression analysis by measuring the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate in Hand AP image of the children. In result, each bone age has produced a mean value and a standard deviation corresponding to the specific range and as bone age increases the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate decreased. In addition, female children showed lower mean value in comparison to male and also the measurement of the length between the end of the bone and the growth plate and its bone age are shown to be statistically valid(p<0.001) according to the results of regression analysis using its result value. Therefore, the probability of prediction on the bone age read off through the applied TW3 method and regression equation in the Hand AP image of the children.

Purpose : Recently, different results about factors affecting accurate quantitation of 24-hr urinary protein(24UP) amount using spot urine protein/creatinine ratio(PCR) have been reported. The current study was designed to evaluate correlation between 24UP amounts and PCR in children, and the effect of 24UP amounts, age, sex, and glomerular filtration rate(GFR) on this correlation. Methods : Among 94 patients who visited the department of pediatrics in Busan Paik Hospital from March 2002 to August 2002, 68 patients whose urinary creatinine excretion was ${\geq}15mg/kg/day$ were included in this study. All the patients were divided into I, II/A, B group(I : 24UP<500 mg/day, II : $24UP{\geq}500mg/day$, A : <10 years of age, B : ${\geq}10years$ of age). Pearson correlation analysis was performed between 24UP and PCR to evaluate the relationship. We defined fractional difference between 24UP and PCR, and then performed multiple regression analysis with 24UP amount, age, GFR and fractional difference. Results : There was a strong positive linear correlation between 24UP and PCR(R=0.936, P<0.0001) in all patients, and the correlation was also good in each group. Using PCR cutoff values of 0.5, the PCR provided high sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value in predicting 24UP amount ${\geq}500mg$. The factors affecting accurate quantitation of proteinuria using spot urine PCR was age, not 24UP amount, GFR or sex. Conclusion : Spot urine PCR is a useful test but has limitations in predicting 24UP amount. Therefore, it should be used only as screening method. Age-adjusted PCR cutoff values may be necessary to predict 24UP amount in children with proteinuria.

Purpose : Ghrelin stimulates the secretion of growth hormone and other pituitary hormones, and has orexigenic effects. It may have a physiologic role in fetal and neonatal growth. Leptin secreted by the adipocytes reflects fat mass in infants as well as adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation of cord blood ghrelin and leptin levels to body weight(BW), body mass index(BMI), insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3) levels in appropriate for gestational age(AGA) newborns. Methods : Sixty healthy AGA newborns(31 males and 29 females, gestational age[GA] 34-42 weeks) were included in this study, whose BW and BMI were measured at delivery. Umbilical cord venous blood samples were withdrawn, and ghrelin and leptin were measured by radioimmunoassay. Cord blood IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were determined by immunoradiometric assay. Results : The mean levels of ghrelin were inversely correlated with BW(r=-0.29, P<0.05) and GA (r=-0.28, P<0.05), but were not affected by gender. The mean levels of leptin levels showed positive correlation with BW(r=0.44, P<0.01), GA(r=0.36, P<0.01), and BMI(r=0.28, P<0.05). The leptin levels of females were higher than those of males. There was no gender difference in leptin levels in neonates under GA 37 weeks. However, the leptin levels of females were higher than those of males (P<0.01) in newborns with GA 37 weeks or over. There was no correlation between ghrelin and leptin levels. Ghrelin and leptin levels showed no relations to cord blood IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels. Conclusion : These data suggest that cord blood ghrelin may have an inverse correlation with BW in AGA newborns, and leptin levels are positively correlated with BW and fat mass. Further study of ghrelin concentrations in cord blood is necessary to elucidate the physiological and pathological roles of ghrelin during the fetal and neonatal periods.
