Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between obesity stress, self-esteem, and adaptation to school life according to body mass index of elementary school students in higher grades and to provide basic data for the development of health education programs. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select four elementary schools. Self-reporting questionnaires were distributed to the subjects to collect data, which were then analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The higher the obesity index, the more obesity stress the students experienced. Second, the lower the level of obesity, the higher both self-esteem and the level of adjustment to school life were. There was a meaningful correlation between obesity stress, self-esteem, and adjustment to school life. Conclusion: The study results are expected to be useful in serving as a basic material for the development of programs that can improve students' adjustment to school life and self-esteem while reducing their stress caused by obesity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors having an influence on adjusting to the university life of freshmen and sophomore nursing students. The data was collected from questionnaires that were filled out by 150 nursing students in one school from November 1, 2018 to November 20, 2018. The data was analyzed by the SPSS 22.0 program (frequency, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis). The mean score of university life adjustment was $75.85{\pm}9.43$ (range: 25~125). A negative correlation was found between adjustment to university life and stress, A positive correlation was found between adjusting to university life and self efficacy. Negative correlation was found between stress and self efficacy. The factors influencing the adjustment of freshmen and sophomore nursing students to university life were health promoting behavior (sleeping time, snacks, drinking, and leisure time or having a hobby), stress and self efficacy. In addition, health promoting behaviors, stress and self efficacy accounted for 13.9% of the variance in adjusting to university life. The results of this study suggest that health promoting behavior, stress and self efficacy are important to the adjustment to university life for freshmen and sophomore nursing students. Further research on improving health promoting behavior, reducing stress and improving self efficacy is warranted. An intervention program that includes these significant variables of such subjects should be developed to improve adjusting to the university life of nursing students.

Background: This study aimed to investigate out the influence of drought stress on the physiological responses of Dendropanax morbifera seedlings. Methods and Results: Drought stress was induced by discontinuing water supply for 30 days. Under drought stress, photosynthetic activity was significantly reduced with decreasing soil water content (SWC), as revealed by the parameters such as Fv/Fm, maximum photosynthetic rate ($P_{N\;max}$), stomatal conductance ($g_s$), stomatal transpiration rate (E), and intercellular $CO_2$ concentration (Ci). However, water use efficiency (WUE) was increased by 2.5 times because of the decrease in $g_s$ to reduce transpiration. Particularly, E and $g_s$ were remarkably decreased when water was withheld for 21 days at 6.2% of SWC. Dendropanax morbifera leaves showed osmotic adjustment of -0.30 MPa at full turgor and -0.13 MPa at zero turgor. In contrast, the maximum bulk modulus of elasticity ($E_{max}$) did not change significantly. Thus, Dendropanax morbifera seedlings could tolerate drought stress via osmotic adjustment. Conclusions: Drought avoidance mechanisms of D. morbifera involve reduction in water loss from plants, through the control of stomatal transpiration, and reduction in cellular osmotic potential. Notably photosynthetic activity was remarkably reduced, to approximately 6% of the SWC.
