Background: This study aims to reevaluate natural radiation exposure, following up on our previous study conducted in 2019, and to assess the associated risk of lung cancer to the public residing in the gold mining areas of Betare-Oya, east Cameroon, and its vicinity. Materials and Methods: Gamma-ray spectra collected using a 7.62 cm×7.62 cm in NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer during a car-borne survey, in situ measurements and laboratory measurements performed in previous studies were used to determine the outdoor absorbed dose rate in air to evaluate the annual external dose inhaled by the public. For determining internal exposure, radon gas concentrations were measured and used to estimate the inhalation dose while considering the inhalation of radon and its decay products. Results and Discussion: The mean value of the laboratory-measured outdoor gamma dose rate was 47 nGy/hr, which agrees with our previous results (44 nGy/hr) recorded through direct measurements (in situ and car-borne survey). The resulting annual external dose (0.29±0.09 mSv/yr) obtained is similar to that of the previous study (0.33±0.03 mSv/yr). The total inhalation dose resulting from radon isotopes and their decay products ranged between 1.96 and 9.63 mSv/yr with an arithmetic mean of 3.95±1.65 mSv/yr. The resulting excess lung cancer risk was estimated; it ranged from 62 to 216 excess deaths per million persons per year (MPY), 81 to 243 excess deaths per MPY, or 135 excess deaths per MPY, based on whether risk factors reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, United Nations Scientific Committee on the effects of Atomic Radiation, or International Commission on Radiological Protection were used, respectively. These values are more than double the world average values reported by the same agencies. Conclusion: There is an elevated level of risk of lung cancer from indoor radon in locations close to the Betare-Oya gold mining region in east Cameroon. Therefore, educating the public on the harmful effects of radon exposure and considering some remedial actions for protection against radon and its progenies is necessary.

The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental information for the development of new sex education image media through the analysis of those tools produced by Planned Parenthood Federation of Korea. Twenty three video tapes related to the sex education were analysed. The data were sampled on the basis of the sex education instructions for primary and secondary schools published by the Seoul Office of Education in 1996 and the list of sex education information composed by the Planned Parenthood Federation of Korea with the following requirements. 1) The education materials are oriented to the middle and high school students as well a juveniles and are being used in public health centers and schools. 2) The education materials are not confined to the single subject such as AIDS or contraception. Because this study is focused on the analysis of image media, an analysis method widely and effectively used in public media study was chosen. The frequency analysis and percentage treatment were done by an SAS program. The results of the study are as follows : 1. An analysis of the material structure type showed that the frequency of the following subjects in 15 video tapes, composed as drama and cartoon, had this decreasing orde : sex behavior, sex relation ships, sex health, human development, personal technique, and society and culture. 2. The eight tapes of explanation and counseling showed a different sequence from that of the drama and cartoon material, primarily treating human development with 5419 seconds (47.9%) of type. The following were also considered in decreasing order: at 2000seconds (17.6%) sex behavior, at 1366 seconds (12.1%) sex health, at 1240 seconds (11.0%) society and culture, at 667 seconds (6.0%) relation ships, and at 611 seconds (5.4%) personal technique. 3. In a thematic analysis those education materials dealing with human development show this frequency sequence: anatomic physiology, reproduction, and adolescence. In relation, ships the sequence is dates, love, marriage and vows, and family. For personal technique, it is expressed as asking for help, and an empnasis on moral values. For sex behavior, they focus on abstinence, the co-responsibility of sex behavior, the sexual response of the human, and sexual nightmares. For the sex health area, the focus is contraception with abortion and reproductive health following that. In society and culture diversity is considered. 4. An analysis of the differences in production and content between 1980s and 1990s was also done. For materials produced in the 1980s the frequency of the subjects follows this order: sex behavior, human development, relation ships, sex health, personal technique, and society and culture with sub subjects such as abstinence, dating, adolescence, anatomic physiology, reproduction, calls for help, and the sexual response of a human being. For materials produced in the 1990s, highest frequency was sex behavior, the same as the 1980s. The rest of the material follows this decreasing order: relationships, human development, sex health, society and culture, and personal technique with sub subjects such as dating, co-resposibility in sex behavior, abstinence, and love frequently considered.

본 연구는 기업공개(IPO)전 은행과의 관계가 최초공모주 가격결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 실증분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 2001년 1월부터 2003년 9월까지를 대상기간으로 하여 코스닥시장에 신규 상장된 총 343개 기업을 표본으로 삼았다. 미국의 경우를 연구한 James and Wier(l990)의 결과와는 달리 본 논문에서는 우리나라의 경우 기업공개전에 형성된 은행관계가 오히려 기업공개 후 초기 초과수익률의 규모를 증가시키는 역할을 하고 있음을 발견하였다. 또한 은행 및 벤처캐피탈로부터 중복 지원을 받은 기업들의 초기 초과수익률이 가장 높게 나타나고, 두 금융기관의 지원이 전혀 없는 기업들의 초기 초과수익률이 가장 낮게 나타나고 있음을 발견하였다. 이러한 IPO 초기성과는 은행차입금의존도가 높을수록 그리고 청약경쟁률이 높을수록 크게 나타나는 경향이 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 우리나라 IPO시장에서 기업공개 직후 관찰되는 정(+)의 초기성과는 대부분 과도한 수요로 인하여 높게 형성되는 시장가격 때문이라는 최문수 (1999)의 연구결과와 전반적으로 일치하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the major peacekeeping activities that the Korean armed forces has performed from the past to the present. To do this, we collected 692 press releases from the National Defense Daily over the past 20 years and performed topic modeling and social network analysis. As a result of topic modeling analysis, 112 major keywords and 8 topics were derived, and as a result of examining the Korean armed forces's peacekeeping activities based on the topics, 6 major activities and 2 related matters were identified. The six major activities were 'Northeast Asian defense cooperation', 'multinational force activities', 'civil operations', 'defense diplomacy', 'ceasefire monitoring group', and 'pro-Korean activities', and 'general troop deployment' related to troop deployment in general. Next, social network analysis was performed to examine the relationship between keywords and major keywords related to topic decision, and the keywords 'overseas', 'dispatch', and 'high level' were derived as key words in the network. This study is meaningful in that it first examined the topic of the Korean armed forces's peacekeeping activities over the past 20 years by applying big data techniques based on the National Defense Daily, an unstructured document. In addition, it is expected that the derived topics can be used as a basis for exploring the direction of development of Korea's peacekeeping activities in the future.

Pulmonary function tests were conducted on 815 healthy primary school children (390 males and 425 female) in rural area using Collins Survey Spirometer (Warren E. Collins, Inc., U.S.A.) with X-Y Recorder. Respiratory symptoms(cough, sputum, sore throat, chest pain, chest tightness, dyspnea, coryza) were surveyed by the interviews. Multiple regression analysis and regression diagnostics were done for prediction equations of FVC, $FEV_1,\;PEFR\;and\;FEF_{25-75%}$. FVC, $FEV_1,\;PEFR\;and\;FEF_{25-75%}$ values in 3 groups of children classified by the number of symptom were compared each other through standard variable value. FVC, $FEV_1,\;PEFR\;and\;FEF_{25-75%}$ showed highly significant correlation with age, height and weight. Prediction equations for FVC, $FEV_1,\;PEER,\;FEF_{25-75%}$ are functions of height only in both male and female children aged between 6 and 12 years old. PEFR showed a significant difference related with the number of symptom in female. These results suggest that the PEFR is sensitive PFT parameter in this study.

우리나라의 노인인구가 전체인구에서 차지하는 비율이 다른 선진국에 비해 빠르게 증가함에 따라 한국경제에 있어 노년소비자층이 중요한 수요자로 부상하고 있다. 이렇듯 노년소비자 시장규모의 확대와 노년생활을 위한 연금제도의 확산으로 노년소비자 구매력의 비중이 크게 향상되고 있으므로 기업이 시장에서 경쟁적 우위를 차지하기 위해서는 노년소비자 구매행동의 특성을 파악하고 이에 적합한 마케팅 전략을 개발해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 노년소비자의 구매행동특성을 파악하기 위해 이 분야에 관한 선행연구들을 검토하고 미국의 노년소비자와 비교분석하기 위한 후레임을 작성하였으며, 미국 노년소비자의 구매행동에 관한 기존의 연구들에서 많은 변수를 추출하여 작성한 설문으로 약품/건강 보조식품, 식품/주류, 의류/신발, 전기/전자제품, 또한 보험회사, 종합병원, 금융기관 등 특정 서비스업체 선호이유와 식품점, 약국 등 점포선정 이유를 조사하여 이를 미국노년소비자의 경우와 비교분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서의 조사 분석 결과는 이미 고령사회에 진입한 미국의 시장환경과는 차이가 있으나, 우리나라 노년소비자를 대상으로 마케팅활동을 전개하는 기업들이 소비자 구매행동에 관한 마케팅 전략을 수립하는 데 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

A dramatic development in the new technology of copying materials has presented us with massive problems on reconciling the conflicts between copyright owners and potential users of copyrighted materials. The adaptation to this changing condition led some countries to revise their copyright laws such as in the U. S. in 1976 and in Korea in 1984 for merging with the international or universal copyright conventions in the future. Copyright defined as exclusive rights given to copyright owners aims to secure a fair return for an author's creative labor and to stimulate artistic creativity for the general public good. The exclusive rights on copyrightable matters, generally for reproduction, preparation of derivative works, public distribution, public performance, and public display, are limited by fair use for scholarship and criticism and by library reproduction for its preservation and interlibrary loan. These limitations on the exclusive rights are concerned with all aspects of library services and cause a great burden on librarian's daily duty to provide balance between the rights of creators and the needs of library patrons. The fair use as one of the limitations on it has been coupled with enormous growth of a new technology and extended from xerography to online database systems. The implementation of the fair use and library reprography in Korean law to the local practices is examined on the basis of the new American copyright act of 1976. Under the draft revision of Korean law, librarians will face many potential problems as summarized below. 1. Because the new provision of 'life time plus 50 years' will tie up substantial bodies of material longer than the old law, until that date librarians would need permissions from the owners and should pay attention to the author's death date. 2. Because the copyright can be sold, distributed, given to the heirs, donated, as a whole or a part, librarians should chase down the heirs and other second owners. In case of a derivative work, this is a real problem. 3. Since a work has its protection from the moment of its creation, the coverage of copyrightable matter would be extended to the published or the unpublished works and librarian's work load would be heavier. Without copyright registration, no one can be certain that a work is in the public domain. Therefore, librarians will need to check with an authority. 4. For implementation of limitations on exclusive rights, fair use and library reproduction for interlibrary loan, there can be no substantial aggregate use and there can be no systematic distribution of multicopies. Therefore, librarians should not substitute reproductions for subscriptions or purchases. 5. For the interlibrary loan by photocopying, librarians should understand the procedure of royalty payment. 6. Compulsory licenses should be understood by librarians. 7. Because the draft revision of Korean law is a reciprocal treaty, librarians should take care of other countries' copyright law to protect foreign authors from Korean law. In order to solve the above problems, some suggestions are presented below. 1. That copyright clearinghouse or central agency as a centralized royalty payment mechanism be established. 2. That the Korean Library Association establish a committee on copyright. 3. That the Korean Library Association propose guidelines for each occasion, e.g. for interlibrary loan, books and periodicals and music, etc. 4. That the Korean government establish a copyright office or an official organization for copyright control other than the copyright committee already organized by the government. 5. That the Korean Library Association establish educational programs on copyright for librarians through seminars or articles written in its magazines. 6. That individual libraries provide librarian's copyright kits. 7. That school libraries distribute subject bibliographies on copyright law to teachers. However, librarians should keep in mind that limitations on exclusive rights are not for an exemption from library reprography but as a convenient access to library resources.

본 연구는 도시공원이 복지이념을 내포하고 있다는 것을 전제로 도시공원이 현재 담보하고 있는 다양한 사회적 역할중, 복지혜택을 시민들에게 제공하는 점에 주목하여 도시공원이 가진 복지와 관련된 의미를 현재 일어나는 공원과 복지영역 간의 연계의 움직임을 통해 살펴보았다. 과거에서부터 현재까지 도시공원이 제공한 장점들 중 복지혜택에 대한 이점, 실천 등을 살펴보고, 사회복지혜택과 비교하고, 이러한 혜택이 현대에 어떻게 발현되고, 실천되고 있는지를 미국과 우리나라 도시공원들의 사례 연구를 통해 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도시공원은 복지이념의 실현 장소이자, 복지혜택 창출의 공간이자 사회복지를 실천하는 장으로서의 역할을 해왔다. 현대에 들어서도 도시공원은 실제로 사회의 복지적 상태를 측정하는 지표로 쓰이고 있으며, 도시민들에게 보편적으로 이득을 줄 수 있는 사회적 환경 재화이다. 둘째, 현대에 들어 복지의 이념을 가시적으로 실천하고 있는 도시공원들은 다양한 복지기관들과 함께 다방면의 통합적 설계가 시도되고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 이러한 복지기관들은 도시공원의 자원을 지속적으로 개발하고 사용하는 데에도 많은 영향을 끼치고 있다. 사례들을 살펴본 결과, 도시공원에서 나타난 복지이념의 표출 방식이 과거에는 단순히 선언적이었던 것과 달리, 현대에 들어서는 좀 더 구체적이고, 가시적인 프로그램과 전략들로 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있다. 특히 복지이념을 가시적으로 실천하기 위해 다양한 공원 내외의 복지기관 및 프로그램들과 함께 다방면의 통합적 설계가 이루어지고 있다. 셋째, 도시공원이 가지고 있는 자원에 대한 다차원적인 접근과 함께 지역 복지 관련 기관 및 단체와 세부적 활용을 전략적으로 견인한다면 도시공원은 주민 생활에 좀 더 가까워지고, 그들의 삶의 질을 높이는 공간으로 자리 잡을 수 있을 것이다.
