This study examined the dietary behaviors and dietary quality of high school students according to the number of times they skipped breakfast. A total of 474 high school students (225 boys and 249 girls) residing in Incheon participated in this survey. The subjects were divided into the three groups according to the frequency of eating breakfast; Regualr (eating breakfast everyday, n=226), Irregualar (eating breakfast 1~6 times/week, n=143, and Skipping (skipping breakfast everyday, n=105). The dietary quality was assessed using a nutrient quotient for adolescents (NQ-A). A higher monthly allowance and a higher rate of working mothers were significantly associated with a higher frequency of skipping breakfast. A higher intake frequency of processed beverages, and street food was significantly associated with a higher frequency of skipping breakfast. Students who had a higher rate of breakfast skipping had significantly lower intake frequency of fruits, white milk, bean and bean products, and fish. The high frequency of skipping breakfast among high school students was associated with lower dietary quality, as illustrated by the low total NQ-A score and sub group score including balance, environment, and practice. This information can inform efforts to provide nutrition education program to promote breakfast consumption and guidelines to students who skipped breakfast frequently.

본 논문은 한국현대시사에서 인천이라는 장소는 어떻게 표상되었고 또 어떤 의미를 지니고 있는 가를 살폈다. 인천이 지니는 경계 도시라는 장소적 특성에 주목하여 한국현대시사, 혹은 한국현 대문학사에 나타나는 인천의 문학적, 지리적 의미를 점검하여 인천을 둘러싼 심상지리 연구 혹은 인문지리학 연구에 새로운 연구 결과를 더함으로써 이 분야 연구를 풍성하게 함과 동시에 문화 연구와 문학 연구를 결합함으로써 새로운 연구 주제를 탐색하고자 한 것이다. 본론에서는 식민지 시기의 작품들과 해방 이후 작품들로 나누어 살폈다. 식민지 시기 작품들 가운데 김소월과 김동 환과 박팔양의 작품들을 살폈는데 이 작품들에서는 항구 도시 인천이 지니는 이국적 풍경과 함 께 가난한 삶의 풍경이 있음과 동시에 식민지의 상처에 대한 암시적인 표현이 담겨 있다. 인천이 지니는 지리적 특성에서 비롯하였을 이러한 특징은 그대로 식민지 조선이 겪는 정신적 상처의 표현이라고 해도 무방하다. 새로운 환경은 새로운 내일에 대한 희망도 주지만 나라 잃은 상황은 현실을 암울하게 볼 수밖에 없게 만드는 중요한 원인으로 작용하였기 때문이다. 해방 이후 작품 들은 박인환과 장석남과 정호승의 작품들을 살폈다. 해방 이후 인천을 시화한 시들도 물론 인천 이 지닌 지정학적 특성이 시적 전언의 배경인 까닭에 한반도가 겪은 비극에 초점을 맞춘 작품들 도 있지만 화해와 공존의 미래에 대한 기대를 품는 시들도 있었다. 비극의 현장이기도 하지만 갈 등과 대립이 종결되면 새로운 미래가 여기서 시작될 수도 있으리라는 희망이 작용하였기 때문이 다. 과거에 대한 반성과 미래에 대한 기대가 함께 섞여 있는 곳, 바로 이것이 인천을 표상하는 시들이 지닌 특성이라고, 또 인천이라는 지역이 지는 중요한 의미라고 해도 될 것이다.

In this study we compared the cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination for Dementia Screening: MMSE-DS) and nutrient intake of elderly women with dementia in a long-term care facility (EW-LCF) and a day-time care facility (EWDCF). This survey was conducted from July 2015 to May 2017 on 73 elderly women with dementia (47 women in LCF and 26 women in DCF) in the city of Incheon. The data obtained from interviews with the subjects and caregivers were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0. The total score of the MMSE-DS and intakes of most nutrients in the EW-LCF were significantly lower compared to the EW-DCF (p<0.05). The nutrient adequacy ratios (NAR) of protein, vitamin A, C, B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, calcium and phosphorus in the EW-LCF were significantly lower compared to the EW-DCF (p<0.05). However, the indexes of nutritional quality (INQ) of vitamin C, B6, thiamine, niacin, calcium, magnesium, and iron in the EW-LCF were significantly higher compared to the EW-DCF (p<0.05). As a result, the subjects showed an unbalanced and insufficient nutrition intake status regardless of the type of care facility. Most nutrient intakes of the EW-LCF with lower cognitive function were very significantly lower compared to the EW-DCF (p<0.001). Therefore, it is necessary to assess the cognitive function and nutritional status regularly at care facilities for the elderly women suffering with dementia and to provide specialized individual nutritional management.

The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary behavior and nutritional knowledge related to sodium intake in high school students. A questionnaire survey was conducted in 400 high school students (200 boys) in Incheon, Korea. Survey data were analyzed according to gender and degree of obesity. The distribution of the degree of obesity was the highest in 231 normal weight individuals (57.8%), followed by 89 underweight (22.3%), 41 overweight (10.3%), and 39 obese (9.8%). The sodium-related undesirable dietary behavior score was 2.9 points out of 5 points. The detailed dietary behavior scores of ‘I eat kimchi when I eat instant noodles or noodles’ and ‘I like dried fish with salt’ were significantly higher in boys than in girls (p<0.05). It was found that boys consumed more frequently high sodium foods, such as pizza, hamburger, and hotdog than girls. According to the degree of obesity, the underweight group consumed more kimchi fried rice and potato chips frequently than the other groups (p<0.05). Preference for salty taste was not significantly different among the groups by gender and degree of obesity. Sodium-related nutritional knowledge score was 5.3 points out of 10 and which was significantly higher in girls or normal weight group than in boys or obesity group. These results suggest that nutritional education on sodium intake is needed because the nutritional knowledge of adolescents is relatively low. Moreover, intensive nutritional guidance is required, especially in boys or adolescents with undesirable degree of obesity.

PURPOSES: This study aims to contribute to a better road environment, which can result in accident reduction from two-wheeled vehicles, by analyzing factors affecting the two-wheeled vehicles’ accident severities in Incheon Metropolitan City. METHODS: In this study, the two-wheeled vehicles’ accident severity was classified into four categories (fatal injury, serious injury, minor injury, and injury report) as a dependent variable, and 97 independent variables out of 14 categories were considered to construct an ordered probit model. To determine the factors affecting accident severity, the statistical package LIMDEP was used. RESULTS: Among the variables used in the analysis, variables related to accident occurrence date (first quarter), region (8-district), accident type (passing the edge of the road of the vehicle for a pedestrian accident, fixed object collision, and overturn of vehicle-only accident), violation type (unobtained safety distance, failure to perform safe driving, violation of intersection driving, and violation of others), the type of road (at the intersection, near the intersection, at the crosswalk, near the crosswalk, etc.), gender of assailant (male), vehicle of victim (pedestrian and motorcycle), and age of victim (under 20) were found to have a statistically significant effect on the severity of the accident. CONCLUSIONS: The variables related to accident type (fixed object collision and overturn of vehicle-only accident), gender of assailant (male), and vehicle of victim (pedestrian and motorcycle) have turned out increasing the accident severity. In addition, accident occurrence for two-wheeled vehicles is more diverse and vulnerable to damage than automobile accidents. Therefore, it is time to recognize the seriousness of two-wheeled vehicle accidents and to improve the environment and systems for safe driving.

이 글은 인천광역시 연수구를 대상으로 최근 개발된 도심에서 불교 문화콘텐츠를 구성하는 방향을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 이 글에서는 먼저 연수구의 지역적 특성을 파악하여 연수구의 문화적 원형을 정리하고 그 안에서 발견되는 연수구의 불교적 문화원형을 찾는다. 이어서 이를 바탕으로 기존에 진행되고 있는 문화자원에 결합하여 새로운 스토리텔링을 구성함으로써 연수구의 불교문화콘텐츠 구성의 실례를 모색하고자 한다. 최종적으로 연수구가 신흥 개발 도심임을 상기하여 이러한 작업이 불교를 전면적으로 내세울 일이 아니라 일반 인문학의 범주에서 수용 가능한 맥락으로 구성해야 함을 밝히고자 한다. 연수구의 기본적인 문화원형인 바다와 백제를 바탕으로 인문학적 관점으로 불교문화콘텐츠를 구성한다면 과거의 역사와 현재의 국제교류가 담긴 현대적이고 국제적인 콘텐츠가 가능할 것이다. 그리고 그것이야말 로 송도국제도시를 품고 있는 연수구의 미래와 한국문화의 미래를 만들어가는 바탕이 될 것이다.

This study examined the effects of ‘Dietary education for children’s health UP’ (DECHUP) on the changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of nutrition and food safety in 5th grade elementary school students in Incheon. The DECHUP program was conducted from May to October 2018 and consisted of education and activities focusing on the children’s levels of understanding. Data were collected before, immediately after, and 6 weeks after DECHUP using the same method. All data were analyzed using SPSS ver 20.0. The level of knowledge and attitudes of the subjects to nutrition and food safety was significantly higher after than before DECHUP, but the attitude of boys did not show any significant difference after 6 weeks. Although there were no significant differences in the behavior for nutrition in the practice of the subjects, there were significant positive changes in the behavior of food safety. The higher the satisfaction of DECHUP, the more positive the change in knowledge, and the more positive the attitude and practice behaviors. Therefore, DECHUP has positive effects on the KAP of the subjects, and it will be helpful for elementary school students to form desirable eating habits if it can be carried out periodically and continuously.

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of purchase of processed foods and the awareness about food label among middle school students. This survey was conducted by involving 350 middle school students in Incheon city, Korea from June 17~19, 2015. Middle school students consumed confectioneries, bread, carbonated drinks, and juices and ice creams once or twice a week at the rate of 53.4, 53.0, 40.6, and 36.9%, respectively. The most frequent place, time, and reason to purchase the processed foods were ‘convenience store (36.2%)’, ‘after school (26.8%)’, and ‘hunger (77.9%)’. The subjects exhibited top priority (57.0%) on the taste at the time of purchasing the processed foods. Interestingly, the girl-students (44.7%) checked the labels of food more than the boy students (34.0%). The reasons for checking the food labels included acquiring significant information about the shelf life (27.0%), price (18.1%), nutrient (19.1%), and food additives (14.1%). Among the food labeling information, the name of the product (55.7%), the date of manufacture (49.3%) and the content (32.6%) were checked mainly by the subjects. In addition, the major reason for not confirming the food labeling was ‘the food label was too small or crude (31.9%)’. It is necessary to inform about the processing methods and ingredients of the processed to middle school students so that they can make the correct choice of processed foods. Development of proper education methods on nutrition for middle school students is necessitated for healthy living.

최근 노인인권 문제에 대하여 세계 각국은 전례 없이 관심이 고조되고 있으며, 존엄한 인간으로 인간다운 노후생활을 영위하는 데 필요한 모든 권리로 넓어지는 추세이다. 본 연구의 목적은 노인인권인식실태를 살펴보고 복지현장의 실천적 인권향상 방안과 정책적 대안 제시하는 의미에서 노인이 행복한 인천광역시 노인인권증진의 실천 방향성을 함께 모색하는데 있다. 노인복지 실천에서 인권관점을 기반으로 한 급여나 서비스가 제공되기 위해서는 노인인권보호 를 위한 법률이 제정되고 정비되어야 한다. 인천광역시 인권조례의 신설이나 노인인권 조례의 제정(96.8%)이 절실히 요구된다. 세계적으로 인권영역은 복지 영역보다 한발 앞서 나아가고 있지만, 복지영역은 아직도 급변하는 시대적, 세계적 변화에 민감하게 다가서지 못하고 있다.

인천연안은 인천광역시, 경기도 김포시·시흥시·안산시 일대로, 양식장에서 발생하는 쓰레기, 어업활동 후 버려진 어구·어망, 육상에서부터 한강을 타고 흘러오는 쓰레기 때문에 인천연안의 해양생태계의 변화가 우려되고 있다. 인천연안이 심각하게 오염되자 해양수 산부는 인천연안을 특별관리해역으로 지정하여 해양환경 자산인 해역수질을 보존하고 있다. 이러한 배경 하에서 본 연구는 인천연안 해역수질의 비시장 가치를 선택실험법(choice experiment)을 이용하여 평가한다. 이를 위해, 전국 1,000 가구를 대상으로 면대면 설문조사를 실시하였고, 속성 각각의 한계지불의사액(MWTP, marginal willingness to pay)을 추정한다. 인천연안 해역수질의 속성별 가치(가구당 연간 한 계지불의사액)를 추정한 결과, 가구당 연간 해역수질 1%p 개선의 MWTP는 75원, 동물종의 다양성 증가의 MWTP는 135원, 식물종 다양성 증가의 MWTP는 309원, 해양쓰레기 1%p 저감의 MWTP는 72원으로 나타났다. 모든 추정결과는 유의수준 1 %에서 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문의 주요 결과는 정책당국에 해양환경 관리정책 수립과 평가에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness and satisfaction level of school meal services by elementary school students and their parents. Approximately 97.2% of student-subjects have agreed on the necessity of a free meal service for school lunch; 44.3% of student-subjects voiced the need to provide free meal services in order to eliminate discrimination of low-income students. Over one-third of student-subjects (36.7%) cited nutrition as the main benefit of providing a free meal service. The majority of parent-subjects (95.1%) have recognized the need for a free meal service in school; approximately 37.3% of parent-subjects responded to need the free meal service in order to eliminate the discrimination of impoverished students. Both student- and parent-subjects expressed a high level of satisfaction with the quality of ingredients and the type of soup/nutrition provided. Student-subjects insisted on better food hygiene and a new menu, but cited the noisy cafeteria as a problem associated with school meal services. In addition, approximately 56.5% of student-subjects responded to the need for nutritional education in school. Parent-subjects were primarily concerned with hygiene regarding the preparation of school meal services, noting the temperature of foods as the biggest problem in school meal services. The majority of parent-subjects (88.1%) responded to the need for the nutritional education in school. Results of this survey indicate that school meal services can be improved by increasing menu options and increasing food hygiene.
