This study analyzed the distribution characteristics of invasive alien plants on the islands of the Korean Peninsula. Ten species, Rumex acetosella, Sicyos angulatus, Solanum carolinense, Ambrosia artemisiaefolia var. elatior, Ambrosia trifida, Aster pilosus, Eupatorium rugosum, Hypochaeris radicata, Lactuca scariola, and Paspalum distichum were present on 68 islands. These ecosystem-disturbing invasive alien plants appeared extensively on the islands of Gyeonggi province and Jeollanam province. The proportion of the plants on the inhabited islands (41 places, 2.15 species on average) was higher than that on the uninhabited islands (27 places, 1.07 species on average). This means that the distribution of invasive alien plants was closely related to human activity. The distribution of Ambrosia artemisiaefolia var. elatior (32 islands) and Rumex acetosella (31 islands) was the widest, and there were distinct distribution differences according to species. In the island area, the physical environment is poor compared to the mainland, and the native space is limited. Therefore, when invasive alien species enter and settle on the island, the native island plants can be damaged more than those on the mainland. In this regard, the discussion of the distribution of invasive alien plants in the island region can contribute to the conservation of biodiversity in the region.

The conversation analysis approach of using audio and video recordings of naturally occurring conversation contrasts with other methods of collecting data in the social and cognitive sciences. This paper intends to describe the ways in which conversation analysts collect their data suitable for analysis, including the steps involved in preparing to record, the recording of naturally occurring social interaction, and also the processing of recordings after they have been made. Before actually making the recordings, researchers must first choose what type of conversation they will collect and what device to use. Researchers also need to obtain consent for recording from the participants in a conversation analytic study. While making the recordings, researchers must figure out many practical issues such as who, when, how, what, how much, and where to record. After recording, researchers need to store data in audio or video formats. Researchers also archive it, using codes for identification that facilitate later finding, quoting and retrieving of any file. This paper focuses on these choices as they are made before, during, and after recordings and places specific emphasis on the effects these choices have on the recordings. It also illuminates how these techniques are closely related to the methodological and theoretical assumptions of the conversation analysis approach.

This study examined the relevance of impact factors using survey data, standardized mortality rates, and medical utilization rates of study subjects in the Namhae and Hadong regions. The study subjects were found to have lived in the area for more than 20 years, and in terms of lifestyle, they did not smoke, but the rate of drinking was high and showed little exercise. As a result of analysis through logistic regression analysis, it was found that angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and anemia were affected by exercise status, and allergic rhinitis disease showed significant results depending on the presence of smoking. The standardized mortality rate of men in chronic lower respiratory tract diseases in the Namhae and Hadong regions was higher than in the nation. In the case of allergic rhinitis, both men and women in Namhae were slightly lower than those in Nation, and in Hadong, both men and women were higher than in Nation.

Evaluating the operational efficiency of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) is important to understand charging network evolution and the charging behavior of electric vehicle users. However, aggregation of efficiency performance metrics poses a significant challenge to practitioners and researchers. In general, the operational efficiency of EVCSs can be measured as a complicated function of various factors with multiple criteria. Such a complex aspect of managing EVCSs becomes one of the challenging issues to measure their operational efficiency. Considering the difficulty in the efficiency measurement, this paper suggests a way to measure the operational efficiency of EVCSs based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). The DEA model is formulated as constant returns of output-oriented model with five types of inputs, four of them are the numbers of floating population and nearby charging stations, distance of nearby charging stations and traffic volume as desirable inputs and the other is the traffic speed in congestion as undesirable one. Meanwhile, the output is given by the charging frequency of EVCSs in a day. Using real-world data obtained from reliable sources, we suggest operational efficiencies of EVCSs in Seoul and discuss implications on the development of electric vehicle charging network. The result of efficiency measurement shows that most of EVCSs in Seoul are inefficient, while some districts (Nowon-gu, Dongdaemun-gu, Dongjak-gu, Songpa-gu, Guro-gu) have relatively more efficient EVCSs than the others.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of chronic diseases according to obesity in the elderly older than age 65 using data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016~2018). The subjects of the survey were 3,245 elderly older than age 65 who participated in the health survey and nutrition survey, 45.8% of the subjects were males and 54.2% of the subjects were female. 37.5% of all the elderly were obese, and the females (42.4%) were more obese than the males (31.8%) (p<0.001). Diabetes, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia had a similar prevalence of 24.6%, 63.0%, and 12.7% in males and females, respectively. Hypercholesterolemia was higher in the elderly females (44.2%) than in the elderly males (24.9%) (p<0.001). Through the logistic regression analysis, it was found that the prevalence of chronic diseases was higher in obesity than normal in elderly males and females (p<0.001). The total food intake increased from ‘under weight’ to ‘obesity’ in males (p<0.01) and females (p<0.001). In the case of the elderly males, the higher the degree of obesity, the higher the energy intake (p<0.05), and ‘pre-obesity’ consumed the most energy in elderly females. As a result of this study, the higher the obesity rate of the elderly, the higher the prevalence of chronic diseases.

This study analyzed the health characteristics and comorbidity of adult men aged 40 years by dividing them into a control group of those without any disease related to fine dust and a patient group with one or more diseases related to fine dust in areas with high levels of fine dust pollution using the sixth and seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2017). Among the general characteristics, the mean age of the patient group was significantly older than that of the control group (p<0.001), and in terms of the health-related characteristics, the frequency of breakfast consumption in the patient group was higher than in the control group (p<0.043). The body measurements were similar in the patient and control groups. Regarding the prevalence of comorbidity, the patient group showed a higher prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and diabetes than the control group, but the differences were not statistically significant. On the other hand, the prevalence of other cancers (except stomach cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer) in the patient group was higher than in the control group (p<0.05). In terms of the clinical characteristics, the glycated hemoglobin levels in the patient group were significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.048). Information on nutrition and health in areas with frequent occurrences of fine dust was obtained through the study results, which can be used as basic data for measures of health and diet management against diseases that will increase in relation to fine dust.

This study examined Korean employees’ meal structure characterized by mealtime, meal places, and companions. The data from 19,692 time diaries, recorded by 9,846 employees aged 19-64 years for two days in the 2014 Korean Time Use Survey, were analyzed for working days and non-working days. Approximately two-thirds of Korean employees ate meals three times a day on both working and non-working days. The breakfast and lunch-times on working days were distributed within two hours, but the dinner time on working days and all three meals on non-working days were dispersed across a three-hour range. Male employees spent three minutes on meal preparation on working days, whereas females spent 30 minutes. On working days, 88% of breakfasts and 67% of dinners were eaten at home. For lunches, 46% were eaten at restaurants, and 42% were at workplaces. The breakfast on working days showed the highest percentage of eating alone (40%) and the dinner on non-working days appeared highest in the percentage of eating with families (69%). The characteristics of Korean employees’ meal structure appeared different on working days and non-working days. Such characteristics should be considered in the process of planning nutrition policies and programs for employees.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparison of nutrient intake and metabolic syndrome between single person households and non-single person households in elderly subjects. We analyzed data from 2,903 subjects ≥ age 65 who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2013~2015. As a result, single-person households had lower income and economic ability, overall nutrient intake was deteriorated, and the proportion of high-carbohydrate intake was high, compared to non-single person households. After adjusting for potential confounders (sex, age, education, household income, economic activity, smoking status, alcohol consumption, walking frequency, health status, depression status, and dietary factors), the singleperson household showed a tendency of 1.22-fold higher ORs of metabolic syndrome and 1.3-fold higher ORs of hypertriglyceridemia than the non-single-person household. We suggest that the single-person household may be associated with increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome and hypertriglyceridemia in the elderly subjects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between dietary macronutrient intakes and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Korean adults. Data were obtained from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2017), and a total of 11,600 Korean adults (4,918 men, 6,682 women) aged 50 years and older were analyzed. The daily intakes and percentages of energy from carbohydrates or fat in men or women with MetS were significantly lower than in normal subjects, respectively. High carbohydrate or fat percentages were negatively associated with MetS based on adjusted odds ratios (OR) of 0.804 in men (p=0.034) and 0.820 in women (p=0.045), respectively. A high percentage of energy from carbohydrates was positively associated with reduced waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in men. On the other hand, a high percentage of energy from fat was positively related with elevated HDL cholesterol and reduced triglycerides in women. In conclusion, our study indicates that high carbohydrate or fat intake is associated with risk of MetS in Korean men or women aged 50 years and older, respectively. Further prospective studies are necessary to elucidate the association between macronutrient intakes and MetS among Korean adults according to age.

국내에는 독자적으로 연구가 수행되어 개인적으로 보관 중인 지질 연구 자료가 다량 존재하는데, 이 자료에 대한 접근성이 떨어지기 때문에 다른 연구자들과의 공유가 용이하지 않다. 이런 자료에 대한 메타데이터를 체계적으로 구축하고 총괄적으로 관리하여 이 자료를 필요로 하는 연구자들이 효과적으로 연구를 수행할 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 국내에서 연구된 약 1000여개의 지질 시료(900여개의 암석과 화석 시료, 100여개의 박편 시 료)를 수집하였고, 각 시료의 고화질 사진, 분류, 시료명, 보유기관, 산지, 좌표, 특징 등에 대한 메타데이터를 구축하였다. 암석과 화석 시료 100개에 대해 추가적으로 3D 모델링을 수행하였다. 이 연구를 통해 유실되거나 방치되는 중요한 지질 자료에 대한 연구자들의 접근성이 높아지고 자료의 공유가 가능해진다. 따라서 연구자들은 반복적인 연구 자료 수 집 작업으로 인한 시간과 비용의 낭비를 줄일 수 있고, 효율적인 연구를 수행하여 경쟁력을 갖춘 연구 결과를 획득할 수 있다. 또한 이미 확보된 시료에 대한 무분별한 반복 채집으로 인해 중요한, 그리고 피해에 취약한 자료가 훼손되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 향후 전국의 대학과 연구기관에서 보관중인 다양한 암석과 박편 시료에 대한 메타데이터를 추가로 구축하면 자료의 식별 및 진전된 연구가 가능하고, 더불어 전문적인 광물학 및 암석학의 기초 지식에 대한 비교와 분석을 기대할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 고해상도 ERA5 재분석자료 중 우리나라 지상 온도 자료의 신뢰성을 검증할 목적으로 종관기상 관측소(ASOS) 관측자료와 비교를 수행하였다. 새롭게 생산되어 배포 중인 ERA5 재분석자료는 높은 시·공간적 해상도를 가져 여러 분야에 활용성이 매우 높다. 자료의 분석 기간은 ASOS 61개 관측소가 1999년 이후로 결측률이 매우 낮으며 시간평균 자료를 제공한다는 점을 고려하여 1999-2018년 기간으로 설정하였다. ERA5 격자 자료는 격자 내 90-m 수치표고모델(DEM) 분포로부터 내륙, 해안, 산악 지역에 해당하는 지형학적인 특성에 따라 분류하여 ASOS 지점 자료와 비교되었다. 분석 기간 전체에 대한 평균 지상 온도는 ASOS와 ERA5 모두 공간 분포의 패턴과 값은 큰 차이없이 유사하였다. ASOS와 ERA5의 산점도 비교를 통해 전체 기간, 특히 여름, 겨울 기간에 대해 계절 변동성을 가진다는 특성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 달별 두 자료 사이의 매시간 차이 확률밀도함수(PDF)의 시계열을 통해서도 확인되었다. 두 자료 사이의 차이를 통계지수인 NMB, RMSE를 계산하여 정량화시켰을 때, 각 값에서 지역적인 특성을 보였으나 모든 지수에서 큰 차이가 없다고 판단할 수 있었으며, 상관성을 보기 위해 R과 IOA를 통해 구한 값은 모두 0.99에 근접하였다. 특히 일평균 산출에 있어 1-시간-평균 값 24개를 이용한 일평균의 경우가 최고와 최저온도의 평균을 이용 하는 일평균에 비해 오차가 작게 나타났고, 두 자료 사이의 상관성도 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 두 자료의 차이가 나타나는 원인으로 ERA5 격자 내 지형 효과가 가장 클 것으로 판단하여 수치표고모델을 활용하여 각 지역별 PDF를 이용해 첨도 및 왜도를 구하고, 이를 온도 차이 파워 스펙트럼의 1년 주기 변동 크기와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 양의 상관성을 가졌음을 확인하였다. 이는 지형 효과가 두 자료 차이의 원인이라고 설명하는 결과이다.

1992년 개최된 유엔지명표준화총회 이후 ‘동해’ 지명 표기에 관한 관심이 커지면서 동해 표기에 관한 연구가 다양하게 이루어졌으며 다수의 논문과 책자가 발간되었다. 하지만 ‘Japan Sea’로 표시된 해역의 범위에 관해서는 정작 관심이 적은 편으로 제주도 서단과 진도 앞바다를 연결하는 선부터 부산 앞바다에 이르는 대한해협 해역까지도 포함하고 있음에 대해서는 잘 알려지지 않았다. 이 연구는 2002년 회람된 IHO S-23 ｢해양과 바다의 경계(Limits of Oceans and Seas)｣ 초안에 첨부된 지도를 분석하였다. 1~3판과는 달리 1986년과 2002년 초안에는 바다지명에 계층이 도입되어 있다. 대한해협이 ‘Japan Sea’에 포함되어 있음을 새로이 인식하고 그 배경에 대한 종합적 이해가 필요하다. 1905년 러·일 전쟁 중에 작성된 조선해협 경계 작전도의 경계선과 유사함을 지적하고자 한다. 일본해의 일부로 대한해협이 포함되기 시작한 배경에 대한 가설은 러·일 전쟁 후 일본군부가 대한해협의 승리를 일본해 해전의 승리로 선전한 것에 기인하고 있다는 것이다. 추후 근대 일본 사료와 IHO의 문서들에 대한 사료검토를 통해 가설이 확실하게 증명된다면 동해･일본해 표기 문제에서도 전환점을 마련할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze factors affecting the net income of regional and industrial fisheries cooperatives in South Korea using panel data. This paper utilizes linear or GLS regression models such as pooled OLS model, fixed effects model, and random effects model to estimate affecting factors of the net income of regional and industrial fisheries cooperatives. After reviewing various tests, we eventually select random effects model. The results, based on panel data between 2013 and 2018 year and 64 fisheries cooperatives, indicate that capital and area dummy variables have positive effects and employment has negative effect on the net income of regional and industrial fisheries cooperatives as predicted. However, debt are opposite with our predictions. Specifically, it turns out that debt has positive effect on the net income of regional and industrial fisheries cooperatives although it has been increased. Additionally, this paper shows that the member of confreres does not show any significant effect on the net income of regional and industrial fisheries cooperatives in South Korea. This study is significant in that it analyzes the major factors influencing changes in the net income that have not been conducted recently for the fisheries cooperatives by region and industry.

This study aimed to discuss the optimal seeding and harvesting dates with growing degree days(GDD) via meta-data of whole crop maize(WCM). The raw data (n=3,152) contains cultivation year, cultivars, location, seeding and harvesting dates collected from various reports such as thesis, science journals and research reports (1982-2012). The processing was: recording, screening and modification of errors; Then, the final dataset (n=121) consists of seeding cases (n=29), and harvesting cases (n=92) which were used to detect the optimum. In addition, the optimal periods considering tolerance range and GDD also were estimated. As a result, the optimum seeding and harvesting periods were 14th April ~ 3rd May and 15th August ~ 4th September, respectively; where, their GDDs were 23.7~99.6℃ and 1,328.7~ 1,602.1℃, respectively. These GDDs could be used as a judge standard for selecting the seeding and harvesting dates.

There is only limited evidence for the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and mental health in Korea. This study examined the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and mental health according to physical activity among Korean adult women. Based on data of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014-2016), a total of 5,332 participants were included in this analysis. With increasing fruits and vegetables consumption, the prevalence of depressive mood was significantly decreased (p for trend=0.0248). The prevalence of stress perception (p for trend=0.0422) and the prevalence of depressive mood (p for trend=0.0300) were decreased with increasing fruit consumption. The prevalence of depressive mood was significantly decreased when fruit and vegetable consumption (p for trend=0.0370) and fruit consumption (p for trend=0.0356) were increased for those Korean women with low intensity of physical activity. For the obesity group (Body mass index 25 kg/m2), the prevalence of depressive mood was decreased with increasing fruit and vegetable consumption (p for trend=0.0111) and increasing fruit consumption (p for trend=0.0165). In conclusion, fruit and vegetable consumption were associated with mental health according to physical activity among Korean adult women. Further prospective studies are warranted to explore the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and mental health among Korean adult women.

중국의 유망한 성장산업으로 들 수 있는 것이 화장품산업이다. 중국 화장품산업과 관련한 국내외 연구를 요약 하면, 크게 두 가지 흐름으로 나눌 수 있다. 첫째는 중국 화장품산업의 진출전략 또는 수출전략에 관한 연구이다. 대부분의 국내 연구가 여기에 해당한다. 둘째는 중국화장품 산업의 전망을 분석하고, 경영전략의 차원에서 미래 성장전략을 제시하는 연구이다. 본 연구는 두 번째 연구흐름과 관련이 있다. 즉, 중국 화장품 산업에 속하는 주요 기업의 전략유형을 인지적 관점에서 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구의 목적을 구체적으로 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전략집단 분류의 동일성을 검증하는 것이다. 이는 기존 연구에서 중국의 화장품 기업을 대상으로 분류한 전략집단의 유형과 동일한 유형의 전략집단이 본 연구를 통해서도 분류되는지를 검증하는 것이다. 만약 기존 연구와 본 연구가 독립적으로 분류한 전략집단의 유형이 동 일하게 나온다면, 두 연구의 타당성은 높아질 것이다. 둘째, 전략집단 소속의 일관성을 검증하는 것이다. 이는 전 략집단 분류의 동일성이 달성될 경우, 각 전략집단에 소속되는 기업들도 일관되게 분류되는지를 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구는 이상의 두 가지 연구목적을 달성하기 위해, 중국 화장품 산업에 속하는 50개 기업을 대상으로 최고 경영층 인지적 특성을 설문조사를 통해 측정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 전략집단을 분류하고, 그 결과를 기존 연구 (량최정․방호열, 2019)와 비교함으로써 전략집단 분류의 동일성(첫 번째 연구목적)과 전략집단 소속의 일관성 (두 번째 연구목적)을 검증하였다. 실증분석 결과를 보면, 중국 화장품 기업의 전략유형에 있어서, 기존 연구와 본 연구가 분류한 유형이 유사하 게 나타났으며, 전략집단의 소속도 일관성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 전략집단 분류의 동일성과 전 략집단 소속의 일관성이 검증되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 중국의 화장품 산업을 이해하고 효과적인 전략을 수립하 는데 유용한 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 전략집단과 관련한 개념과 이론이 중국과 같은 신흥국 시장에도 적용가능하 다는 것을 알 수 있다.

18개월령과 31개월령 사이의 암소 56,487두의 판독 결과를 이용하였으며, 환경요인과 유전적 요인들에 대해 분석이 이루어졌다. 2011년 1월에서 2018년 8월까지의 기간 동안의 국내 농가들의 데이터를 이용하였으며, WOMBAT 소프트웨어를 활용하여 Multi-trait animal model을 통해 각 형질들의 유전력, 유전상관 및 표현형상관을 추정하였다. 모델식들의 환경적인 요인들의 대해 유의성이 나타났다; 측정년도, 측정월, 지역, 암소개월령. 초음파 등지방두께, 초음파 등심단면적, 초음파 근내지방도의 유전력은 각각 0.364, 0.499, 0.104로 추정되었다. 유전상관과 표현형상관은 각 형들간에 있어 강한 정의 상관을 나타냈다. 각 형질들간 유전상관은 초음파 근내지방도와 초음파 등심단면적, 초음파 근내지방도, 초음파 등심단면적과 초음파 근내지방도는 각각 0.551, 0.485, 0.486으로 나타났으며, 표현형상관은 0.594, 0.490, 0.514로 나타났다. 이에 대한 결과로 초음파측정결과를 이용하여 농장운영에 있어서 육질 개선을 위한 유전적 능력을 개선시킬 수 있을 것이라 보며, 한우의 개량에 있어서 기초적인 자료로서 이용이 될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
