This study investigated the adverse effects of sound treatment on physiological processes of the American leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii, during several developmental stages. Larval feeding activity was analyzed by measuring feeding tunnel length. It was significantly suppressed by sound treatment (5,000 Hz, 95 dB). Sound treatment delayed the pupal period at 315 - 5,000 Hz and prevented adult emergence at 1,000 - 5,000 Hz. Female oviposition was also inhibited by the stress sound treatments. However, phototactic adult movement was not affected by sound treatment. Pupae treated with 5,000 Hz showed marked changes in protein pattems analyzed by two dimensional electrophoresis. MALDI-TOF analysis of specific protein spots indicated that trafficking protein particle complex I, triosephosphate isomerase, hypothetical protein TcasGA2_TC013388, polycystin-2, paraneoplastic neuronal antigen MAl, and tropomyosin I (isoform M) were predicted in the control insects and disappeared in the insects treated with sound. By contrast, DOCK9, cytoskeletal keratin II, and F0F1-ATP synthase beta subunit were predicted only in the sound-treated insects. Furthermore, stress sound significantly increased the susceptibility of L. trifolii to insecticides. These results suggest that physiological processes of L. trifolii are altered by sound stress, which may be exploited to develop a novel physical control tactic against L. trifolii.

Plantago asiatica L. (PA), which is widely distributed in Korea, Japan and China, has traditionally been used as a popular folk medicine for the treatment of liver diseases. A variety of activities of PA was reported, that is hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-glycation and anti-oxidant effect. Ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA) is a potent nephrotoxic agent and has been reported to induce renal proximal tubular necrosis. In the present study, pretreatment with PA extract (PAE) in Wistar rat followed by Fe-NTA i.p. treatment (13.5 mg Fe/kg body weight) was performed to detect the renal protective effect of PAE. Only Fe-NTA treated group showed increases in the level of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr), and renal tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), product of lipid peroxidation. Moreover, the level of biomarkers indicate the antioxidants status, reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR) were decreased. However, PAE pre-treated group showed decreases in the levels of serum BUN, serum Cr and renal tissue MDA in concentration dependent manner and increases in the level of GSH, GST and GR. These results are significantly different (p < 0.05) to the other groups. Our data suggest that PAE may be used as an chemopreventive material against Fe-NTA-mediated renal oxidative stress.

This paper reviewed the relationship between superior leadership and job stress responses, and the moderating effect of age in maintenance area of air force. Based on the responses from 450 air force maintenance persons, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that transactional leadership has negative relationship with physiological stress response, charisma has negative relationship with psychological stress, and individual consideration has negative relationship with behavioral stress. In moderating effects, age has negative effect on the relationship between transactional leadership and physiological stress response, and age has positive effect on the relationship between charisma and psychological stress response.

This study analyzed effects of different sound treatments in frequencies and intensities on digestion and immune physiological processes of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua larvae. Without effect on egg hatch, sound treatments with 100-5,000 ㎐ at 95 ㏈ suppressed feeding behavior and inhibited a digestive enzyme activity. In addition, two dimensional electrophoresis of midgut luminal proteins indicated a marked difference of the sound-treated larvae. In response to 5,000 ㎐ at 95 ㏈, larvae showed a significant decrease in hemocyte nodule formation against fungal challenge along with significant suppression in phospholipase A₂ activity in hemocyte and plasma. With increase of sound frequencies, the treated larvae showed an enhanced susceptibility to insecticides. Such sound frequency effect was significantly modulated with different sound intensities. These results suggest that sound treatment may give adverse stress to physiological processes of S. exigua larvae and may be applied to a nonchemical insect pest control.

본 연구는 염화나트륨과 염화칼슘 처리가 오이(Cucumis sativus L.) 접목묘의 도장억제에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 오이 접목 후 염류의 처리 방법, 처리 시기 및 처리 농도를 diniconazole 처리구 및 무처리구와 비교하였다. NaCl을 저면관수나 상토에 혼입하여 처리한 경우 과도한 줄기신장이 억제되는 효과가 있었으며 묘의 충실도 또한 증가되었다. 하지만, 염화나트륨을 두상관수 처리할 경우에는 40mM 이상 농도부터 잎에 피해 증상을 나타낸 반면 도장억제 효과는 거의 없었다. 염화나트륨 처리시기를 접목 7일 후로 할 경우 접목 시에 처리하는 것 보다 도장 억제를 위해 더 높은 농도의 염화나트륨을 필요로 하였다. NaCl 처리 접목모종의 생육을 정식 후 36일에 조사한 결과, 대조구 대비 생체중의 변화는 없었으나 고온기 암꽃 수가 감소하는 경향을 보여 위험 부담이 따랐다. 전체적으로, 염화나트륨이 염화칼슘 처리보다 줄기 신장 억제에 더 효과적이었으며 잎에 나타나는 피해 증상도 적었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stress response on safety behavior and to explore moderating effect of safety climate between stress response and safety behavior. 224 workers were asked to respond to the questionnaires that measured various demographic variables, stress response, safety climates and safety behaviors. A hierarchical regression was conducted to identify variables that had significant relationships with safety behavior and to examine moderating effect of safety climate between stress response and safety behavior. Results indicated that the depression response significantly predicted safety behavior. It was found that the safety climate was also a significant predictor for safety behavior. In addition, safety climate had a moderating effect on the relation between depression and anger responses and safety behavior.

게임은 현대 사회에 있어 주요한 미디어이자 놀이문화의 하나이다. 또한 컴퓨터 기술의 발전으로 인해 시각적 화려함과 청각적 정교함은 컴퓨터 기술의 발전에 힘입어 지속적으로 진화하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시각적, 청각 적인 자극 특성은 게임 사용자에게 있어서 스트레스를 감소하는 자극이 아니라, 스트레스를 증가시키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 그러므로, 컴퓨터 게임에서도 스트레스가 감소하는 것이 아닌 스트레스가 증가할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구 에서는 이러한 관점에서 게임의 주요한 피드백인 시각을 제외한 청각적 자극인 효과음을 제거하여 게임 사용자의 스트레스에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 연구 결과 효과음의 유무가 게임 사용자의 스트레스 경험을 변화시키는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 보호관찰공무원의 주관적인 직무스트레스 인식유형을 Q 방법론을 통해 분류하고, 유형별 특성을 규명하였다. 46개의 Q 표본과 28명의 P 표본을 통해 분석한 결과, 보호관찰공무원의 직무스트레스에 관한 주관적인 인식 유형 은 크게 1) 안정된 직장, 불안전한 직무여건 유형, 2) 권위적인 조직체계, 과다한 직무요구에 민감한 유형, 3) 직장의 안정성과 인간관계를 중시하는 유형, 4) 직무전반에 대한 스트레스를 조직요인으로 인식하고, 현 상황에 대한 개인적 책임을 회피하고, 냉소적이고 방관하는 유형 네 가지로 구분 정리되었다. 이를 바탕 으로 본 연구에서는 각 유형별 스트레스 인식 특성을 탐색하고, 각 유형에서 시사하고 있는 스트레스 요인에 대처하기 위한 적절한 방안을 논의하고, 그에 따른 함의를 전달하였다.

본 연구에서는 Healey 등(2005)의 데이터를 활용하여 스트레스 정도가 단시간에 변하는 운전상황에서 운전자의 심박변이도 분석을 통해 스트레스 정도에 대한 추정이 가능한지를 예비적으로 평가해 보았다. 단시간에 스트레스 정도가 변하는 운전의 경우 심박변이도 변화 양상은 기존 문헌에 나타난 장거리 운전의 양상과 다르며, meanRR, sdRR, HF, LF/HF, LFnorm, HFnorm의 6가지 심박변이도 파라미터가 스트레스 추정에 유의한 변수로 확인되었다. 정상인 운전자 5명에 대해 6가지 파라미터를 입력변수로, 운전 구간에 따라 변하는 스트레스 정도를 출력변수로 하여 개인별 선형회귀 모델(R2=0.8604±0.0959)을 도출하였으며, 이 선형회귀 모델의 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 심박변이도 데이터를 5분 길이의 16개 세그먼트로 나눈 뒤 실제 스트레스 정도와 추정된 스트레스 정도를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 일부 세그먼트에서 부정확한 추정 결과가 관찰되기도 하였으나, 실제 스트레스 변화 패턴과 예측된 스트레스 변화 패턴 사이에 높은 상관성이 확인되었다(r=0.8560±0.0619). 향후 운전자 구속을 최소화하면서 측정 가능한 심박변이도 분석 시스템을 개발하고, 이를 Healey 등의 연구에서와 유사한 운전 프로토콜을 통해 다수의 피험자에게 적용함으로써 본 연구결과가 유효한지 검증할 계획이다.

This study investigated the relationships between Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), contributing factors, and the occupational stress of physical therapists. Self-reported questionnaires were given to 180 physical therapists in Gangwon Province. Variables examined included the prevalence of pain sites related to WMSDs; pain intensity; pain pattern; and job stress, which is thought to involve the physical environment; job demand; insufficient job control; interpersonal conflict; job insecurity; organizational system; reward system; and occupational culture. Among physical therapists, work-related musculoskeletal pain commonly affected the low back (30.1%), shoulder (29.3%), and wrist (12.2%). The sites of work-related musculoskeletal pain treated medically were the low back (22.8%), shoulder (19.8%), neck (12.7%), and wrist (12.1%). "Repeating the same work constantly" was suggested to be the major cause of the pain. The younger therapists were significantly more likely to feel high job stress due to the physical environment (p<.05), job demand (p<.05), and organizational system (p<.01). Women were more likely to feel greater job stress related to job demand, insufficient job control, the organization system, and job rewards. Men were more likely to feel greater job stress related to job insecurity. Weak positive relationships were observed between work-related musculoskeletal pain and job stress, which is thought to involve the physical environment; job demand; insufficient job control; interpersonal conflict; job insecurity; organizational system; reward system; and occupational culture. Physical therapists appear to be at higher risk of WMSDs because 80.1% of the physical therapists studied experienced work-related musculoskeletal pain. To reduce the risk, we need intervention strategies such as preventive education, ergonomically designed medical equipment, a psychosocial approach to work conditions, improved mechanical conditions related to therapeutic patterns, and an institutional infrastructure with sufficient personnel and scheduling.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate job stress factors of school food service nutritionists according to the number of years they have worked. The subjects of this survey included 125 nutritionists (69 from full-time employees and 56 from part-time nutritionists) from elementary school, middle school, and high school in the Gangwon area. The results showed that stress related to duty was the top job stress factor, followed by environment-related stress, personal stress, organizationrelated stress and stress caused by human relations. In terms of the degree of stress, part-time nutritionists have more stress compared to full-time nutritionists. This was especially true for nutritionists that had been employed for one year. In this case, the degree of stress was much higher than long time employed nutritionists. In terms of how to deal with job stress, school nutritionists eliminated stress directly (with direct countermeasures). In order to deal with stress, workers expected stable employment such as pay (wages), promotions, etc. In particular, part-time school nutritionists had stronger expectations. When correlation between job stress factors were examined, environment-related, duty-related, organization-related, human relations-related and personal stress were all shown to be mutually related.
