Unprecedented amount of genetic information being generated from the result of Human Genome Project (HGP) and advances in genetic research is already forcing changes in the paradigm of health and disease. The ultimate goal of genetic medicine is to use genetic information and technology to develop new ways of treatment or even prevention of the disease on an individual level for 'personalized medicine'. Genetics is play ing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, monitoring and management of common multifactorial diseases in addition to rare single-gene disorders. While wide range of genetic testing have provided benefits to patients and family, uncertainties surrounding test interpretation, the current lack of available medical options for the diseases, and risks for discrimination and social stigmatization may remain to be resolved. However an increasing number of genetic tests are becoming commercially available, including direct to consumer genetic testing, yet public is often unaw are of their clinical and social implications. The personal nature of information generated by a genetic test, its power to affect major life decisions and family members, and its potential misuse raise important ethical considerations. Therefore appropriate genetic counseling is needed for patient to be informed with the benefits, limitations and risks of genetic tests, prior to informed consent for the tests. Physician also should be familiar with the legal and ethical issues involved in genetic testing to tell patients how w ell a particular genetic risk factor relates with likelihood of disease, and be able to provide appropriate genetic counseling. Genetic counseling become a mandatory requirement as global standard for many genetic testing such as prenatal diagnosis, presymtomatic DNA diagnostic tests and cancer susceptibility gene test for familial cancer syndrome. In oder to meet the challenge of genetic medicine of 21 century in korean health care system, professional education program and certification board for medical genetics specialist including non-MD genetic counselors should be addressed by medical society and regulatory policy of national health insurance reimbursement for genetic counseling to be in place to promote the implementation of clinical genetic service including genetic counseling for proper genetic testing.

본 연구는 산림기반형 한방치유 관광상품에 대한 수요자 욕구와 선호를 파악하여 향후 보다 표적화되고 차별화된 산림치유 관련 정책 수립과 한방치유 관련 프로그램의 개발을 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 실시되었다. 서울에 거주하는 30대 이상 성인남녀 400명을 조사대상으로 성과 연령별, 거주지역별로 비례할당 표본추출법을 사용, 인터넷조사(CAWI)를 실시하여 총 317부가 최종 분석에 이용되었다. 산림기반형 한방치유 관광상품에 대한 이미지는 '산림욕, 숲속 걷기, 나무'가 다수(61.5%)를 차지했고, 선호 의견과 이용 의향은 각각 72.9%와 67.5%로 긍정적인 경향이 높았다. 단지 조성에 적합한 지역으로는 수도권이 53.6%, 강원도가 38.8%로 나타났다. 이용목적은 '스트레스 해소와 재충전', '산림휴양활동', '건강 유지 및 체력 증진'의 순이었다. 선호 치유요법은 '트래킹, 산책 등 걷기요법'이 가장 많았으며 '피트니스, 기체조 등 운동요법'이 그 뒤를 이었다. 상품선택 시 주요 고려 요인은 '이용 비용의 적정성', '음식과 이용 식자재의 적절성', '의료진 및 직원들의 친절성' 등으로 나타났으나 이용편의성과 의료서비스의 질, 관광활동 관련 요인 등 전 요인에 걸쳐 높은 점수를 기록하여 상품에 대한 수요자의 높은 기대수준을 보여주고 있다. 또한 인구통계학적 세분시장 별로 이용관련 요인들에 대한 선호에 차이점을 보이고 있어 관련 상품의 기획과 운영 시 차별화 되고 세분화된 수요자 욕구를 반영하는 것이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 본 연구는 상이한 수요자 선호를 파악함에 있어 인구통계학적 세분 시장만을 규명함으로써 가장 기초적인 단계에 머무른 한계점을 지니고 있어 후속연구에서는 다차원적이고 복합적인 수요자 욕구에 대한 보다 정교화된 규명이 요망된다.

The study aimed to perform the qualitative analysis of food and nutrition informations offered in TV program by monitoring newscastings, health-related programs giving food and nutrition information, dramas for family, education programs for children, and information programs for elderly in major TV broadcasting station(KBS, MBC, SBS, EBS). In this study, statistical analysis were done for numbers of information items related to health or food and nutrition informations. Duration of program the main, subject, sources, evaluation criteria of the contents. Results of qualitative monitoring for TV program are as follows. For health-related informations major propotions of subjects for the newscastings were about diseases. Those for health information programs were about foods. Those for children-education programs were about groceries. Those for seniors’ information programs were about eating habits. The analysis of food and nutrition information sources for most of programs were interviews with specialist and normal person, and on-the-spot-investingations. For food and nutrition informations those were evaluated as inappropriate, the propotion of news was increased to 72.2% in 2003 from 49.3% in 2002. For health information programs, it was increased to 67.7% in 2003 from 54.0% in 2002. But, in drama the propotion of inappropriate scenes were decreased to 16.2% in 2003 from 63.2% in 2002. In children-education programs, it was 40.0%. In seniors’ information programs, it was 17.9% in 2002. The propotion of cases that the quantity of foods is inappropriate in the food scene of serial drama, decreased to 15.8% in 2003 from 28.6% in 2002. The rate of drinking scenes increased to 11.5% from 10.7%. The rate of smoking scenes decreased to 0.2% from 1.6% due to the broadcasting self-regulation of smoking scenes in dramas. In the newscatings and information programs, reasons of being evaluated as inappropriate was that they didn’t have any practical suggestions and proper intakes. There were also insufficient explanation for technical terminology, different comparison standard of nutritive value, and exaggeration for physiological effect of food. The drama contained a lot of unnecessary scenes of alcohol drinking, coffee drinking, midnight meal, and had more quantity of foods than the quantity needed for persons to the scene. As the result of this study, the rate of food and nutrition information were high, but the rate of information which was evaluate as appropriate was not sufficient. There are need to improve contents of information and to moniter the contents for consumer.

In a rapidly changing society, the rise in standard of living and level of education has brought about a Qualitative change in consumption, especially food consumption. Accordingly, consumers' interest in and the consumption of health foods has also grown at a rapid pace, expanding the health food market. However. because of the consumer's lack of understanding and knowledge about health foods, the reality is a difficulty in establishing sound consumption. Accordingly, this study was conducted to analyze the consumers' purchase behavior for health food. Through this study, consumers will be able to rationally plan for the use of health food items and further to provide necessary information for planning and executing effective marketing strategies producers and distributors of health foods items. The subjects of this study are the 473 Seoul residents over the age of 20 who have used health food items in the past year. The result of this study showed the use of fatigue rehabilitators, with 93.2% of the respondents saying they have used it. was the highest. with natural products honey, vitamin supplements. restorative foods, mineral supplements, young-gi fellowing in order. Recovery from fatigue. with 3.81, was the top reason the respondents started using health food items, followed by maintenance of health, supplement nutrition. and prevent disease. Family and relatives topped the list of information sources with 3.76. followed by TV and friends. On the other the Internet(2.32) and radio(2.35) were shown to be the lowest information sources. Those surveyed listed quality(4.00), safety(3.99). and nutrition(3.93) as evaluative criteria for health food items, in order of importance.

Aging wiring in buildings, aircraft and transportation systems, consumer products, industrial machinery, etc. is among the most significant potential causes of catastrophic failure and maintenance cost in these structures. Smart wire health monitoring can therefore have a substantial impact on the overall health monitoring of the system. Reflectometry is commonly used for locating faults on wire and cables. This paper compares Time domain reflectometry (TDR), frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), mixed signal reflectometry (MSR), sequence time domain reflectometry (STDR), spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) and capacitance sensors in terms of their accuracy, convenience, cost, size, and ease of use. Advantages and limitations of each method are outlined and evaluated for several types of aircraft cables. The results in this paper can be extrapolated to other types of wire and cable systems.

Recent criticisms of the conduct and use of risk assessment by regulatory agencies have led to a wide range of proposed remedies, including changes in regulatory statutes and the development of new methods for assessing risk. The mandate to this Committee was more limited. Our objective was to examine whether alterations in institutional arrangements or procedures, particularly the organizational separation of risk assessment from regulatory decision-making and the use of uniform guidelines for inferring risk from available scientific information, can improve federal risk assessment activities. Before undertaking to determine whether organizational and procedural reforms could improve the performance and use of risk assessment in the federal government, the Committee examined the state of risk assessment and the regulatory environment in which it is performed. In this chapter, we define risk assessment and differentiate it from other elements in the regulatory process, analyze the types of judgments made in risk assessment, and examine its current government context. Because one chronic health hazard, cancer, was highlighted in the Committee's congressional mandate and has dominated public concern about public health risks in recent years, most of our report focuses on it. Furthermore, because activities in four agencies--the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)--have given rise to many of the proposals for changes in risk assessment practices, our review focuses on these four agencies. The conclusions of this report, although directed primarily at risk assessment of potential carcinogens as performed by these four agencies, may be applicable to other federal programs to reduce health risks.

Housing selections of the elderly depends on various changing factors as they get old. Among those factors, housing satisfaction might be one of the most predictable and crucial factor. This study is focused on the casual effect of housing satisfaction on the elderly's likelihood of selection among three alternatives of housing type. The sample was selected from 349 elderly aged above 65 who were living in Jeonju area, and was analyzed from multiple regressions and casual analysis. The results could be summarized as follows; First, the elderly preferred 'their own house living at present (aging in place)' among three housing type. Second, factors that influenced on housing satisfaction of the elderly were condition of health, economic status, living with spouse or not, level of social activities, and family supports. Third, the elderly who were male, without spouse living in single-family houses, in better health condition and with lower educational level were having more likelihood of selection of present housing. The elderly who were having more likelihood to select reverse mortgage payment were male, with spouse, living in apartment houses, the older, in worse health conditions and economic status. And the elderly who were male, with spouse, living in apartment houses, and in worse health conditions were having more likelihood to select national rental housing.

구매(혹은 가입이나 취업)에 관한 의사결정과정에서는 그 대상이 되는 재화나 서비스의 질을 미리 경험하지 못하고 선택을 하므로 필연적으로 불확실성과 불완전 정보에 의한 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 탈퇴(혹은 이직)와 같은 결별(separation)을 재화나 서비스의 질에 대한 불확실성에서 연유하는 문제를 사후적으로 해결하기 위한 합리적 행동으로 모형화하여 분석한다. 본 논문의 주된 분석대상인 미국의 의료보험에서 소비자가 보험을 구매할 때 기대했던 서비스의 질과 구매후 경험한 실제 서비스의 차이가 클수록 소비자는 기존의 보험으로부터 탈퇴할 유인이 커진다. 따라서 소비자가 구매 의사결정과정에서 서비스 질에 관한 기대치를 덜 정확하게 형성할수록 서비스질 기대치와 실제치의 차이가 줄어들어 소비자의 탈퇴는 감소하는데, 평판(reputation)이 잘 작동하는 시장일수록 소비자가 기대되는 서미스 질을 미리 예측하기 쉬워진다. 본 연구는 개발 소비자를 분석단위로 했던 종전의 연구와는 달리 개별 기업을 분석단위로 하여 시장수준에서 평판이 불완전정보하의 소비자행동에 미친 영향을 분석한 데 의의가 크다.
