Tendon elasticity is an important factor affecting muscle function and thus human movements. It has been reported that the mechanical properties of tendon are adaptable to external loading condition. Based on the adaptability of muscle and tendon to external loading conditions, one can assume that there might be an optimum ratio between muscle strength and tendon stiffness. The present study aimed to investigate whether there is correlation between plantar flexor muscle strength and stiffness of the achilles tendon (AT). Twenty two male subjects (age: $23.2{\pm}1.5yrs$, height: $175.5{\pm}6.2cm$, weight: $75.4{\pm}9.8kg$) performed maximum voluntary isometric plantarflexion on a custom-built dynamometer and muscle-tendon junction of the medial gastrocnemius muscle was simultaneously monitored using a real-time ultrasound imaging machine. The averages of muscle force and tendon stiffness were $366.38{\pm}79.37N$, $35.34{\pm}10.42N/mm$, respectively. Significant positive correlation was observed between muscle strength and tendon stiffness (r=0.8507), indicating that the muscle force is proportional to tendon stiffness. The results might have been used in computational modeling and criterion of training progress level in the fields of training and rehabilitation.

GIS 기술은 하루가 다르게 발전하고 있는데 비해서 GIS 기술과 활용방법을 배울 수 있는 교육환경은 매우 열악하다. 이에 따라 공공부문에서는 GIS 응용시스템의 경제적 이용가치가 낮고 산업체에서는 GIS 전문인력을 구하는데 애를 먹고 있는 실정이다. 또한 GIS 분석기술이 다양한 분야로 보편화되면서 GIS에 대한 개념과 기술을 배우려는 교육수요가 급격하게 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 배경 하에서 본 연구는 우리나라 공공과 민간 그리고 대학에서 실시되고 있는 GIS 교육의 실태를 설문조사를 통하여 분석하였다. 그리고 조사결과를 바탕으로 GIS 전문인력 양성을 위한 교육환경 개선방안을 모색하였다. 공공과 민간 대학의 열악한 교육환경을 개선하기 위해서는 무엇보다는 국가차원의 계획적 투자가 필요한 시점이다.

이 논문은 노인교육에 대한 정부의 정책지원이 이루어진 시점부터 현재까지, 그 전개과정과 특징을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이는 기존 노인교육정책 관련 연구들이 현재의 정책현황에 대한 상황기술과 이를 바탕으로 한 향후제언 성격의 담론 논의에 중심을 둠에 따라, 현재의 모습으로 발현되기까지의 정책과정에 대한 분석이 소홀히 다루어진 것에 대한 문제의식에서 출발한다. 연구자는 '한국노인교육정책은 어떻게 진행되었는가'라는 질문을 제기하며, 관련 문서에 기초하여 정책의 전개 과정과 특징을 찾는데 주목하였다. 분석을 통해 노인교육에 대한 정책지원은 1970년대 후반 새마을운동의 대중화를 위한 국민교육의 일환으로 시작·강화되었고, 현재에는 노인 인적자원양성을 위한 정책 지원으로 이어지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 과정에서 시기에 따라 정부의 정책지원은 그 목표와 대상, 그리고 지원체계가 변화되는 특징을 보인다. 또한 1990년대 후반 다각적으로 수립된 노인교육정책들은 대부분 집행으로 이어지지 못하고, 정책 수립과 집행 사이의 상당한 불일치를 보여주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper dealt with the Korean manpower policy in science and technology, focusing on the contents and tools of the Special Act and its Master Plans. After briefly introducing the historical development of the Korean manpower policy from the 1960s to the present, it discussed and analyzed the Special Act and Plans from the framework of personnel development, distribution, utilization and infrastructure. Korea's science and technology manpower policy has focused on fostering and supplying manpower in line with the country's industrial growth strategy. In the early stage of industrial development during the 1960s and 1980s, government research institutes were direct and effective tools for nurturing S&T manpower. Since the 1990s, the importance of university research has increased. The government fostered graduate research manpower through the research-oriented university policy of the BK21 program. After the IMF financial crisis in 1997, the tendency of students to avoid careers in science and technology led to enacting the Special Act (2004) governing the field of S&T human resources. The Special Act has contributed to leveling up the university education system in science and engineering and sophisticated the policy to include entrepreneurship training, spin-off startups, industry-university cooperation, and offering degree programs. The Special Act and the regularly revised Master Plans have been essential tools in systematically managing the science and technology manpower policies of the Korean government.

This study was conducted to analyze job importance, performance level, and job satisfaction of school and office foodservice dietitians. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from 181 dietitians in the Chungnam area. Statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS v. 14.0. School dietitians were 55% and office dietitians were 45%. Of both, age of 20s and 30s scored 85%; the age of 30s of schools dietians scored 70% while those in office dietians 20s scored 79%. More than 84% of school and office dietitians were university graduates. Total average of job importance of school dietitians was 4.24 and job performance was 3.97 while that of office dietitians was 4.15 and job performances was 3.69. A duty that had a big difference in job importance and performances as a dietitian was 'education of nutrition' (p<.001) and 'self-improvement' (p<.001). According to the meal service except, importance and performances of duties showed a significantly high level (p<.001) for office dietitians, but most measures of job importance and performances showed a high level at school. Therefore, in order to improve job performances and satisfaction for school dietitians, it is necessary to develop systematic and professional education programs for qualification improvement and to grow pride and improve treatment as a nutrition teacher through expansion of appointment. Meanwhile, for office dietitians, it is required to strengthen duty education of 'human resource management' and 'meal service management' through education and supplementary training in companies, on which personal characteristics are reflected.

In the family life cycle, the most important task the families with school children should perform is ‘child education’ and ‘socialization’ However, economic stress on poor families with school children presents multiple problems through the shortage of resources necessary for child education and socialization, inappropriateness of family appraisal, and the insufficiency of the control channels for the efficient management of these confined resources and appropriate appraisal. The objectives of this article are : First, to report research on the actual conditions of the poor families in one area of Cheju and on the relevant health welfare policy, and to examine the appropriateness of the direction and the substance of this policy in terms of the intervention in economic stress on the poor families under the categories of resource management and control of appraisal. Second, to analyze qualitative data extracted from the memoirs of single-parent families living in several areas of Korea under the conceptual framework constructed by literature review in order to get a better understanding of the stress which poor families with school children have experienced. And third, to confirm the factors that can be risk factor but, at the same time, strength to these poor families from presented data and to use them as the basic data from which an intervention model can be developed, based on resource management and control of appraisal. The findings of this article are : First, while the number of absolute poor families in one area of Cheju is increasing and, as a result, the danger of the possibility that multiple problems will occur is also growing, the supporting level of the current policy is no more than a direct resource offer and there is no evidence that resource management is being professionally carried out. When it comes to control of appraisal, due to absence of the professional human resources in this matter, policy performances such as technical education training can have a negative impact. Second, a conceptual framework introduced in this article, ; Economic Pressure → Helplessness → Poor self-esteem → Marital Conflict → Parent-Child financial conflict → Inappropriate socialization → Poor child social competence : is partly verified. And third, judging from the results of the qualitative data, it is confirmed that the healing families, having overcome poverty, show several positive characteristics including : hope, strength, and social support. These findings are identified with the factors of resiliency considered above. According to these results, this article suggests the following. The anti -poverty policy in the future should focus not only on a direct resource offer but also on resource management and the control of appraisal that can magnify its effects. In particular, close attention should be paid to school children since they are in the most crucial period for socialization. Moreover, an emotional labor is such an essential resource for intervention that skilled nurses should play pivotal roles.
