Background: A number of studies have reported associations between the ambient air pollution concentrations and various health outcomes. Especially, ozone is well known for primary risk factor of asthma attacks. The results of a recent study indicate that the size of the effect on health outcomes due to air pollution varied according to several conditions, including age, gender, race and the socioeconomic status. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the associations of ozone with the childhood asthma hospitalizations as stratified by the socioeconomic status (SES) at the community level in Seoul, Korea, 2002. Methods: SES at aggregated levels was measured on the basis of average regional health-insurance rate per citizen in the area. We applied the generalized additive model to analyze the effect of ozone on asthma after controlling for the potential confounding variables that were capable of influencing the results. Results: Our analysis showed that the number of children who were hospitalized for asthma increased as the SES of the residence area decreased. The estimated relative risks of hospitalization for asthma, as stratified by the SES of the community level, were 1.12 (95% confidence interval 1.00-1.25) in districts with the highest SES levels, 1.24 (95% CI=1.08-1.43) within the moderate SES levels, and 1.32 (95% CI=1.11-1.58) in the districts with the lowest SES levels. Conclusions: Our analysis showed that exposure to air pollution did not equally affect the health status of individuals. This suggests that not only the biological-sensitivity markers, but also the SES of the subjects should be considered as potentially confounding factors.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of socioeconomic status and the children's sex on mothers'teaching strategies and their children's responses during a cooperative problem-solving task. The subjects were 15 higher SES mothers and their 5-years-old children dyads. The mothers' teaching strategies and their children's responses were videotaped during a cooperative problem solving task and analyze using a scheme developed by Kermani and Brenner. The results of this study were as follows. First, the mothers with higher SES were more likely to promote 'independence' and less likely to 'verbal prompt'direct performance' than the mothers with lower SES. Second, the children from higher SES families were more likely to refuse their mothers' assistance. Third, the mothers of boys were more likely to use the 'direct teaching'and 'modify'strategies and less likely to use 'independence promoting'strategy than the mothers of girls. Finally, girls were more likely than boys to ask questions for assistance or assurance.

본 연구는 제6기 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 만 25세 이상 성인을 대상으로 사회경제적 특성 및 유병상태에 따른 의료서비스 이용행태를 파악하기 위한 연구이다. SPSS 23.0을 이용하여 빈도분석 및 기술적 통계분석, 일원배치분산분석, ${\chi}^2$-test, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 남자보다 여자가, 65세 이상, 고졸이상, 무직이 많았고 소득분위는 모두 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. 교육수준, 직능, 소득분위를 함께 고려한 사회경제적 상태(socioeconomic status; SES)에 대한 점수는 7-8점이 가장 많았고, 대부분 응답자의 주관적 건강상태는 보통으로 느끼고 있었다. 평균유병개수는 $1.07{\pm}1.497$개이며 외래서비스 평균이용횟수는 $0.50{\pm}.0745$회이며, 입원서비스 평균이용횟수는 $0.12{\pm}0.454$회로 외래서비스 이용횟수 보다 낮았다. 일반적 특성에 따른 유병 및 주관적 건강상태는 유의한 차이가 있었고, 연령이 높을수록, 교육수준과 직능, 소득분위 및 SES점수가 낮을수록 평균 유병개수는 많았으며 주관적 건강상태는 나쁘게 인식하였다. 현재 앓고 있는 질환에서 입원서비스는 중증일수록, 외래서비스는 만성일수록 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, SES점수가 높을수록 전반적인 의료서비스의 이용이 낮았고, SES점수가 낮을수록 의료서비스의 이용은 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 사회경제적 특성이 낮은 집단에게 질환을 예방할 수 있는 적절한 보건교육 프로그램을 개발하여 이들이 질환에 노출되었을 때 적정한 의료서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 지역사회기반의 적절한 보건서비스 체계의 구축 및 시행의 필요성을 시사 할 수 있겠다.

Type VI secretion system (T6SS) has been discovered in a variety of gram-negative bacteria as a versatile weapon to stimulate the killing of eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic competitors. Type VI secretion effectors (T6SEs) are well known as key virulence factors for important pathogenic bacteria. In many Burkholderia species, T6SS has evolved as the most complicated secretion pathway with distinguished types to translocate diverse T6SEs, suggesting their essential roles in this genus. Here we attempted to detect and characterize T6SSs and potential T6SEs in target genomes of plant-associated and environmental Burkholderia species based on computational analyses. In total, 66 potential functional T6SS clusters were found in 30 target Burkholderia bacterial genomes, of which 33% possess three or four clusters. The core proteins in each cluster were specified and phylogenetic trees of three components (i.e., TssC, TssD, TssL) were constructed to elucidate the relationship among the identified T6SS clusters. Next, we identified 322 potential T6SEs in the target genomes based on homology searches and explored the important domains conserved in effector candidates. In addition, using the screening approach based on the profile hidden Markov model (pHMM) of T6SEs that possess markers for type VI effectors (MIX motif) (MIX T6SEs), 57 revealed proteins that were not included in training datasets were recognized as novel MIX T6SE candidates from the Burkholderia species. This approach could be useful to identify potential T6SEs from other bacterial genomes.

본 논문에서는 전투 시스템 중 대표적인 지상 공격 수단인 전차를 대상으로 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 기법을 적용한 취약성 분석 방법에 관한 내용을 다룬다. SES/MB(System Entity Structure/ Model Base) 프레임워크는 복잡한 시스템의 구조를 계층적으로 표현할 수 있으며, 다양한 부품으로 구성된 전차를 모델링하기에 용이하다. 전차의 취약성은 전차가 위협탄에 의해 피격되었을 때, 장갑 및 부품이 파손되거나 관통된 것을 기준으로 분석할 수 있으며 관통 여부는 관통 해석식을 통해 위협탄의 관통 성능과 장갑 및 부품의 방호 성능을 비교한 결과에 따라 결정된다. 방호 성능은 일반 부품과 장갑으로 분류한 전차의 부품 종류 및 정의한 속성에 따라 결정되고, 모든 부품은 중요도를 산정하기 위한 가중치를 가진다. 전차의 취약성을 분석하기 위해 개발한 시뮬레이션 프로그램에서는 위협탄에 의해 관통된 부품 및 피해를 입은 부품의 중요도를 기반으로 하여 전체 취약성을 분석하고, 개별 부품이 전차에서 담당하는 기능을 정의하여 기능별 피해 기준에 따라 취약성을 분석한다.

The purpose of the present study to investigate relationships among family background factors (i. e. adolescents' sex, mother's educational level and employment status. family's SES, and family types), mother-adolescent communication patterns and ego-identity development of adolescents. The subjects were 169 mother-adolescent dyads living in Seoul. Statistical methods used for the data analysis were frequencies, percentiles, Mean, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, Pearson's product-moment correlation, regression analysis, ANCOVA, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. The results were as follows: (1) Significant differences of the adolescents were between family's SES and open communication patterns, between family types and problematic communication patterns. (2) Significant differences of the mothers were between family's SES and open communication patterns, and among family's SES, mother's educational level and problematic communication patterns. (3) There were significant differences in ego-identity of adolescents according to family's SES. (4) There were significant relationships between mother-adolescent communication patterns and the ego-identity development of adolescents. (5) The most influential variable explaining adolescents' ego-identity development was found to be problematic communication patterns perceived by adolescents. Family background factors and mother's communication patterns were not found to have significant effects.

Burden of disease analysis provides a unique perspective on health by integrating fatal and non-fatal outcomes, yet allows the outcome of two classes to be examined separately. Although many studies have shown the inequality in health outcomes across socioeconomic status (SES), an analysis and comparison of Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) between different socioeconomic groups has been rare. This paper calculates the DALY and analyzes the distribution of DALYs for different SES. This study draws from 3,278 cases from the survey on "The Livelihood and Welfare Needs of the Elderly (2004)". It first provides a comprehensive assessment of the burden of 10 chronic diseases of the elderly based on DALY. Then this paper analyzes inequalities in the burden of disease by the levels of SES such as education, income, family size, occupation, and subjective economic conditions. For the elderly, the burden of disease is the highest for hypertension, arthritis and cancer. DALY rate per 1,000 people for the most socio-economically disadvantaged group is expressed as a multiple of the standardized rate for the least disadvantaged group (Rate Ratios). Family size is strongly related to. the difference in the burden of disease between SES groups, and the elderly Who live alone have higher DALY rate than those who live with their family. Other significant variables related to SES groups include subjective economic conditions, occupation, elderly income, and household income.

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is closely associated with health outcomes, including mortality in critically ill patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). However, research regarding this issue is lacking, especially in countries where the National Health Insurance System is mainly responsible for health care. This study aimed to investigate how the SES of ICU patients in South Korea is associated with mortality. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of adult patients aged ${\geq}20$ years admitted to ICU. Associations between SES-related factors recorded at the time of ICU admission and 30-day and 1-year mortalities were analyzed using univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Results: A total of 6,008 patients were included. Of these, 394 (6.6%) died within 30 days of ICU admission, and 1,125 (18.7%) died within 1 year. Multivariable Cox regression analysis found no significant associations between 30-day mortality after ICU admission and SES factors (P>0.05). However, occupation was significantly associated with 1-year mortality after ICU admission. Conclusions: Our study shows that 30-day mortality after ICU admission is not associated with SES in the National Health Insurance coverage setting. However, occupation was associated with 1-year mortality after ICU admission.

The purpose of this study was two folds; One is to explore the adolescents'self-esteem, materialism, clothing and food behavior according to their gender and socio-economic status(SES). The other is to examine the relations among those variables. The subjects were 530 high school students(246 boys; 284 girls) in Seoul. Data were collected through questionnaires. As results, boys and adolescents from higher SES show higher self-esteem compared to girls and those from low SES. There was no gender difference in materialism, but adolescents from lower SES haute higher materialism. Girls buy clothes and eat out more frequently and spend more money on them. As anticipated, there were significant negative correlations between self-esteem and materialism. Moreover, adolescents who hale higher self-esteem and lower materialism tend to behave more desirable patterns of colthing and food behavior.
