Purpose: In korea, Aging in Place is underway as an alternative to elderly housing for the aging population. Currently, research is being actively conducted mainly for the baby boomer generation and older generation. There is not much research on various ages that will be needed continuously in elderly housing and aging in place in the future. Therefore, this study suggests aging in place of urban elderly housing through analysis of urban preference of all ages. Method: An analysis of prior studies related to elderly housing, Field interpretation about Aging in Place, An analysis of the city preference through the survey of the elderly, Existing Literature Survey, Housing Survey, Future Population Projection, Survey of the elderly and confirmed the necessity of the Aging in Place of urban elderly housing. Result: As there are many generations living in the city and many people prefer it, studies on urban elderly housing should be actively conducted and should be studied as Aging in Place that can be used for all ages. In addition, it is necessary to study the advantages and disadvantages of using Aging in Place in the city through domestic or overseas case analysis.

In this paper it is investigated that the visual elements of preference which influence the visual preference for bench. "What color of bench is preferred when the location is the same\ulcorner" Started from those questions, the elements of preference which influence the visual preference for bench is investigated. In this research, a equal standard mark system is applied for the evaluation of visual elements of preference and then the relationship between the visual preference and the elements of preference are examined by the method of multiple regression analysis. The result of primary factor analysis from the visual evaluation in this paper will affect visual preference of the bench in urban park. Thus, the result of this study will contribute to development of urban parks for the maximum satisfaction of park visitors supplying necessary information for a resting place planning and design. It will provide a useful management guide of urban park facilities to prepare a strategic management plan of the benches from the users point of view. Especially, to know the correct preference of people, which will be provided by the evaluation of visual preference to bench will be the key to rest place planning.

Methamphetamine (METH) is a powerful neurotoxic psychostimulant affecting dopamine transporter (DAT) activity and leading to continuous excess extracellular dopamine levels. Despite recent advances in the knowledge on neurobiological mechanisms underlying METH abuse, there are few effective pharmacotherapies to prevent METH abuse leading to brain damage and neuropsychiatric deficits. α-Pinene (APN) is one of the major monoterpenes derived from pine essential oils and has diverse biological properties including anti-nociceptive, anti-anxiolytic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory actions. In the present study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of APN in a METH abuse mice model. METH (1 mg/kg/day, i.p.) was injected into C57BL/6 mice for four alternative days, and a conditioned place preference (CPP) test was performed. The METH-administered group exhibited increased sensitivity to place preference and significantly decreased levels of dopamine-related markers such as dopamine 2 receptor (D2R) and tyrosine hydroxylase in the striatum of the mice. Moreover, METH caused apoptotic cell death by induction of inflammation and oxidative stress. Conversely, APN treatment (3 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduced METH-mediated place preference and restored the levels of D2R and tyrosine hydroxylase in the striatum. APN increased the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 to pro-apoptotic Bax ratio and decreased the expression of inflammatory protein Iba-1. METH-induced lipid peroxidation was effectively mitigated by APN by up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes such as manganese-superoxide dismutase and glutamylcysteine synthase via activation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2. These results suggest that APN may have protective potential and be considered as a promising therapeutic agent for METH-induced drug addiction and neuronal damage.

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is known for its role in perception of nociceptive signals and the associated emotional responses. Recent optogenetic studies, involving modulation of neuronal activity in the ACC, show that the ACC can modulate mechanical hyperalgesia. In the present study, we used optogenetic techniques to selectively modulate excitatory pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons in the ACC in a model of chronic inflammatory pain to assess their motivational effect in the conditioned place preference (CPP) test. Selective inhibition of pyramidal neurons induced preference during the CPP test, while activation of parvalbumin (PV)-specific neurons did not. Moreover, chemogenetic inhibition of the excitatory pyramidal neurons alleviated mechanical hyperalgesia, consistent with our previous result. Our results provide evidence for the analgesic effect of inhibition of ACC excitatory pyramidal neurons and a prospective treatment for chronic pain.

Imprecision of evaluation or lack of prior information about preference can be an obstacle for decision maker in representing his strict preference. Therefore, fuzziness of preference can take place, and in addition, intransitivity or incomparability of preference becomes the critical difficulty in making complete preorder of alternatives. In order to get better solution and to improve practical usufulness, MCDM should be established as a pseudo-criterion model that include fuzzy preference. In this paper, we suggest a pseudo-criterion model that can make complete preorder of alternatives by metric distance measure.

In this study, a survey was conducted to analyze the preference and conditions of consumption. A survey of 299 housewives from Seoul and the metropolitan area analyzedthe preference and the conditions of consumption, the general backgrounds and the actual state of diet and health management. According to the survey on the preference of Codonopsis lanceolata, 52.8% answered a traditional market place as the place they most commonly purchased Codonopsis lanceolata. When purchasing Codonopsis lanceolata, 49.2% purchased unwashed. For the frequency of intake, 38.5% of the housewives surveyed answered 1-2 times per year and 38.5% perceived Codonopsis lanceolata a very healthy food. Among the subjects, 46.2% answered their spouse as the person who most likes Codonopsis lanceolata in the family. Regarding the question of why they preferred Codonopsis lanceolata, 39% answered because it was healthy., compared to 36.0% who answered high cost as the reason why they did not prefer Codonopsis lanceolata. Codonopsis lanceolata preference showed a notable difference according to age, average income, interest in health, and intake frequency (p<0.01).

This study was researched by practical method in a subjectivity study accessible in-depth, in sloughing off old habit of functional quantity analysis about food preference of an expressway resting place customer. The perception pattern come out in this study were divided into four types in Q-methodology. The result is as follows ; it is that divided '1[(N=7) : Cleanliness-selection Type], 2[(N=13) : Economy Type], 3[(N=9) : Selling-area Goodwill Type], 4[(N=10) : Self-satisfaction Type]'. Like this, it found that is very different type all over. Hereafter, this study is to ascertain acceptance behavior about reception type on food-preference of an expressway-resting-place-customer ; to offer a developmental suggestion about it.

Morphine, an analgesic with significant abuse potential, is considered addictive because of drug craving and psychological dependence. It is reported that repeated treatment of morphine can produce conditioned place preference (CPP) showing a reinforcing effect in mice. CPP is a useful method for the screening of morphine-induced psychological dependence. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the methanolic extract of Coptis japonica (MCJ) on morphine-induced CPP in mice. Furthermore, we examined c-fos expression in the parietal cortex, piriform cortex, striatum, nucleus accumbens, and hippocampus of the morphine-induced CPP mouse brain. Treatment of MCJ 100 mg/kg inhibited morphine-induced CPP. Expression of c-fos was increased in the cortex, striatum, nucleus accumbens, and hippocampus of the morphine-induced CPP mouse brain. These increases of expression were inhibited by treatment with MCJ 100 mg/kg, compared to the morphine control group. Taken together, these results suggest that MCJ inhibits morphine-induced CPP through the regulation of c-fos expression in the mouse brain.
