An analysis of 87 stroke Patients who were enrolled in 7 hospitals in cities of Pusan, Taegu, Kumi, and Andong from January 1 to May 31, 1998 was conducted using the modified Barthel Index(BI) and the adapted PULSES profile index(PS) to evaluate their function. Patients were examined at the following intervals : Initial assessment, one month after initial, at discharge, and ore month after discharge. The mean BI score of patients initial assessment was 26.32. and that of PS was 17.34. There were statistically significant between initial score and one month after initial (16.61 : p<0.001), at discharge(33.51 : p<0,001), one month after discharge(43,56 : p<0.001). PS scores were also improved significantly(-2.1, -3. 94, and -5.52(p<0.001), and BI score between discharge and one month after discharge wag significant improvement(10.06 : p <0.001) and in PS score(-1,57 : p<0.001). Age and BI scone were significantly associated with the improved in BI score between initial and discharge (T3-T1)(p<0.05). Below age forty and the lower initial BI score showed significantly higher improvement(T3-T1) after physical therapy(p<0.05). Initial BI score, BI score at discharge, and religion were significantly associated with the improvement of BI score between initial and one month after discharge(T4-T1)(p<0.05). The lower initial BI score, the high. BI score at discharge, and the religious showed significantly higher improvement(T4-T1)(p<0.05). BI score at discharge and religion were significantly associated with the improvement of BI score between at discharge and one month after discharge(T4-T3)(p<0.05). The lower BI score at discharge, the religious showed significantly higher improvement(T4-T3)(p<0.05) Initial PS score were significantly associated with the improved in PS score between initial and discharge(T3-T1)(p<0.05). The higher initial PS score showed significantly hier improvement(T3-T1)(p<0.05). Initial PS score, Bi score at discharge, and patient's attitude for physical therapy after discharge were significantly associated with the improvement of PS score between initial and one month after discharge(T4- T1)(p <0.05). The higher initial PS scorer the lower PS score at discharge, patient's positive attitude for physical therapy after discharge showed significantly higher improvement(T4-T1)(p<0.05). PS score at discharge, Patient's attitude for Physical therapy after discharge were significantly associated with the improvement of PS score between discharge and one month after discharge(T4-T3)(p<0.05). The higher PS score at discharge, patient's positive attitude for physical therapy after discharge showed significantly higher improvement(T4-T3)(p<0.05). In conclusion, Initial BI score, BI score at discharge, age, and religion were significantly associated with BI score improvement. initial PS score, BI score discharge, and patient's attitude for physical therapy after discharge were significantly associated with PS score improvement in stroke patients.

어느 나라이든 그 나라의 전통과 습관에 얽매여 식생활에 있어 금기로 하는 것이 있다. 물론 이러한 전통과 습관이 전부가 불합리한 것은 아니지만 저 개발 국가에서 가장 중요한 단백원인 축산물을 기피하는 경우가 있다. 적어도 인도를 봐도 종교적인 taboo 때문에 소를 우상시하여 식용화 하지 않고 있다. 이것은 비단 일국에 국한된 것만은 아니다. 여기 소개하는 동남아시아 및 아프리카의 일부지방에서 달걀이나 닭고기를 taboo시하는 것도 하나의 전통에 얽매인 현상이라 하겠다. 이러한 불합리한 점은 적극 계몽하여 동물성 단백질의 효용을 높여야 하겠다.

계속되는 조명의 발달에 의하여 과거의 난방, 취사, 보호, 빛 등의 원시적인 기능을 수행하던 빛은 오늘날 다양한 기능과 사회적 역할을 담당하게 되었으며, 도시의 축제적 요소로서 사람들에게 유희적 기능을 제공하게 되었다. 이러한 축제요소로서의 빛은 종교적 행사로서 의미를 가지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지역의 이미지 향상 및 홍보효과, 지역주민에게 주는 지역에 대한 자긍심효과, 관광사업 활성화에 따른 경제적 파급효과 둥의 다양한 효과를 가져오고 있다. 유럽의 경우 모닥불이 18세기에 이르러 일루미네이션과 불꽃놀이 등으로 계승되었으며, 우리나라의 경우 신라시대부터 시작된 종교적 행사인 연등제와 정원대보름을 기원으로 한 들불축제가 과거부터 오늘날까지 이어져 내려오고 있다. 유럽에서 시작된 폭죽, 조명을 이용한 빛축제 또한 우리나라의 각 지자체를 중심으로 불꽃놀이와 루미나리에라는 이름으로 개최되고 있다. 또한, 사천시의 창선삼천포대교는 다리의 경관조명을 설치함으로써 지역을 홍보하기 위한 조명축제로 자리매김하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라의 다양한 빛축제의 사례를 분석하여 앞으로 빛축제를 활성화하기 위한 기초 자료로 제시하고자 한다.

베트남 관음상, 특히 천 개의 팔과 눈이 있는 관음상은 일반적으로는 아시아에서, 구체적으로는 동남아에서 종교 혼합주의의 가장 명백한 증거로 여겨질 수 있다. 그것은 인도와 더불어 특히 중국모델에서 전래된 몇 가지 구체적인 증거를 베트남 관음상에서 발견할 수 있다. 많은 학자들은 시바를 관음상의 천개의 팔과 천개의 눈을 표상한 것의 원천으로 보았다. 베트남 관음상에 대한 중국문화의 영향은 그 영향이 직접적이며 장기간에 걸쳐 최근까지도 이어져져 왔기 때문에, 인도문화가 남긴 흔적들보다 더 분명하게 나타난다. 이러한 문화적 유사성으로 인하여 비평가들은 베트남 관음상을 중국 관음상의 단순한 복제품으로 간주하게 만들었다. 본 논문에서 저자는 베트남 관음상은 여러 외국의 특징들을 흡수해 왔지만, 동시에 베트남의 심리와 행동, 개념, 토착 종교적 믿음에 상응하는 그만의 독특한 특징을 반영했다는 사실을 주장할 것이다. 천개의 팔과 눈을 가진 베트남 관음상은 인도와 중국의 영향을 받았지만, 베트남 특유의 예술적 가치를 지니고 있으며, 아시아 관음상의 무한히 풍부한 다양성에 또 하나의 기여를 해 왔다.

In this paper, we investigated the principle of appropriation by which mythology and literature were accepted in the unique religious context of The Canonical Scripture (Jeongyeong 典經). First, we knew that almost all of the gods that appeared in the discourse of Kang Jeungsan (姜甑山) were related to Eastern Yi (東夷) mythology and deeply rooted in folklore. This is because the cultural tendency and historic consciousness of Kang Jeungsan was influenced by Danhakpa (the Danhak School 丹學派). Secondly, when we investigated the acceptance of literature into The Canonical Scripture, we discovered that Tang Poetry (唐詩), Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguoyanyi 三國演義), and Journey to the West (Xiyouji 西遊記) were widely accepted in Kang Jeungsan's discourse. These works were used in diverse ways such as predictions, healing, and meditation. We knew that popular classical work like these were religiously appropriated in the context of The Canonical Scripture. Lastly, we investigated the mechanisms by which mythical and literary imagination was transformed into the Jeungsanist religious movements. Those mechanisms included the magical power of letter and images, sense-cognition of poetry, and the representational ability of mimesis. In conclusion, mythical and literary imagination helped Jeungsanist religious movements gain popularity and spread Kang Jeungsan's soteriology. This is especially true of how it transformed into unique religious techniques which functioned as key elements of the Reordering Works (公事).
