In this paper, we discuss a service to give alarm in the case of emergency for the old and the weak by human behavior recognition in Intelligent Space. Our Intelligent Space consists of mobile robots, sensors and agents. And these components are connected to network framework. Agent analyzes data acquired from networked sensors and determines task of robots and a space to provide a service for humans. In our emergency alarm service, human behavior recognition service module analyzes accelerometer data obtained from body-attached human behavior sensing platform, and classifies into four basic human behavior such as walking, running, sitting and falling-down. For the old and the weak, falling-down behavior may bring about dangerous situations. On such an occasion, agent executes emergency alarm service immediately. And then a selected mobile robot approaches fallen person and sends images of the person to guardians. In this paper, we set up a scenario to verify the emergency alarm service in Intelligent Space, and show feasibility of the service from our simulation experiments.

Purpose：The purpose of this study was analyze the effect combination exercise program on plasma total antioxidant capacity and free oxygen radical according to exercise frequency of elderly. Age range of subject is 65~70 years. Methods：Subjects divided into three groups: control group(0-time), week-3 times group(3-times), week-5 times group(5-times). Each group were performed combination exercise during 8 weeks. Results：The results of each group by ANOVA free oxygen radical have a change(p<.05). We performed comparison of total antioxidant capacity and free oxygen radical pre-test and post-test on each groups. Total antioxidant capacity was increased in the 3-times and 5-times groups but there have not significant. Total antioxidant capacity is improve better than to 5-times. Free oxygen radical is significant increased in the 0-time (p<.05). But 5-times but 3-times is no significant decrease. Free oxygen radical is improve better than to 3-times. Conclusion：In the old people, exercise frequency week 3 times doing appeared effectively in improvement of the free oxygen radical and 5 times doing appeared effectively in improvement of the total antioxidant capacity. So rightly must apply a exercise frequency well in characteristic of old person each person.

This study lays its purpose on providing basic material for managing dental hygiene care programs by grasping images of the elderly perceived by dental hygienists and their behaviors toward the elderly, who have an important role in improving the elderly's dental health in the aging society. For these purposes, the researcher conducted a self-administrative questionnaire survey of 370 dental hygienists working in dental clinics or offices located in the Seoul and Daejeon areas from June 2 to 21 in 2008 and collected data, statistical analysis of the $x^2$-test, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation used. resulting in the following findings. 1. In perceived images of the elderly according to their general characteristics, a subject group with under 8-year career showed 85.38 points, indicating the statistically significant difference (p=0.001). 2. When we look at perceived images of the elderly and behaviors toward them according their characteristics, in images of the elderly, a subject group with positive perceptions of the elderly showed 85.51 points (p=0.000), a subject group with meaningful old person(s), 84.66 points (p=0.000), a subject group living with old person(s), 86.04 points (p=0.001), and a subject group with experience in volunteer service activities, 84.11 points (p=0.001), and in behaviors toward the elderly, a subject group with positive perceptions of the elderly and with meaningful old person(s) showed 56.46 (p=0.036) and 55.91 points respectively, indicating the statistically significant difference (p=0.040). 3. Images of the elderly and behaviors toward them showed a positive correlation, indicating that the more positive images of the elderly, the more positive behaviors toward them (r=0.317). Putting these results together, it is thought that it is time to need continuous education and efforts regarding the formation of desirable relationships with and images of the elderly and behaviors toward them, for dental hygienists who have an important role in managing and enhancing the elderly's dental health in the aging society.

본 연구는 노년기 사회적 배제의 실태를 파악하고, 사회적 배제 예측요인을 파악하는데 연구 목적이 있다. 이를 위해, 한국노동연구원 2008년도 고령화연구패널(KLoSA) 2차 data 중 65세 이상 노인 4,040명을 대상으로, 노년기 사회적 배제에 관하여 살펴보았다. 첫째, 경제적 배제를 경험하는 노인이 45.4%, 근로배 제 78.7%, 주거배제 17.8%, 건강배제 43.8%, 교육배제 33.7%, 사회활동 배제 34.3%로 근로배제가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 경제적 배제의 경우 노인의 연령이 많을수록, 도시에 거주하지 않는 경우, 가구원수가 적을수록, 손자녀를 돌볼 경우 경제적으로 배제될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 근로 배제는 노인이 여성인 경우, 연령이 많을수록, 종교가 기독교인 경우, 배우자가 없는 경우, 도시에 거주하는 경우, 빈곤가구일 경우, 아파트에 거주할 경우, 가구원수가 많을수록 근로에서 배제될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 주거 배제의 경우, 노인의 배우자가 없는 경우, 도시에 거주하는 경우, 빈곤가구일 경우, 일반주택에 거주할 경우, 생존자녀수가 적을수록 주거에서 배제될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 교육 배제의 경우, 노인이 여성인 경우, 연령이 많은 경우, 기독교가 아닌 경우, 배우자가 없는 경우, 도시에 거주하지 않는 경우, 빈곤가구일 경우, 생존자녀수가 많을 경우 교육에서 배제될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 건강 배제의 경우, 노인이 여성인 경우에, 연령이 많을수록, 빈곤가구일 경우 건강에서 배제될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 사회활동 배제의 경우, 노인이 여성일 경우, 연령이 많을수록, 기독교가 아닌 경우, 빈곤가구일 경우, 아파트에 거주하는 경우 사회활동에서 배제될 가능성이 컸다. 본 연구결과는 우리나라 노인의 노년기 사회적 배제의 기초적인 연구로 가치가 있다.

Background: The purpose of this study is to provide the data for discussions related to oral health promotion policies for single-person households by analyzing the status of unmet dental needs and related factors in single-person households in Korea, based on the Anderson model. Methods: The data, obtained from 544 single-person households of those over 20 years old who were targeted for the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, were analyzed through a complex sample frequency analysis, complex sample cross analysis (Rao-Scott chi-square test), and complex sample binary logistic regression analysis on a complex sampling design. Results: The most frequently given reason for an unmet dental need among single-person households was economic (52.4%). Factors related to the unmet dental needs of single-person households are smoking, which is a predisposing factor; personal income levels, which are an enabling factor; chewing discomfort; and limited daily activities, which are need factors. Smokers, the high-income group, the chewing-discomfort group, and the limited activity group showed high unmet dental care experience. Smokers had a 2.75 times higher rate of unmet dental care than non-smokers, and the high-income group had a 5.29 times higher rate of unmet dental needs than the median group. The rate of unmet dental needs for the chewing discomfort group was 3.27 times higher than the non-chewing discomfort group, and the limited activity group had a 7.87 times higher rate of unmet dental needs than the non-limited activity group. Conclusion: It is necessary to map out policies designed to help maintain and promote met dental needs considered to be internally heterogeneous to single-person householders, based on the Anderson model.

The level of representation, exploration and artistry by age and sex was examined in twenty children in each of 4-, 5-, and 6-year old groups attending an early education facility in Pundang City, Kyong'gi Province. Evaluation was by the scoring system used in the Project Spetrum(Krechevsky, 1994) with children's drawings of an animal, person, imaginary animal and 3D work with clay. Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA and Duncan test. The level of representation was lower than exploration and artistry in the 4-year-old groups. Level of artistry was lower than representation and exploration in the 5-and 6-year-old groups. The older children and girls showed higher scores than the younger children and boys in representation and exploration. There were differences between 4-and 5-year old children in artistry development.
