Purpose: To examine the relationship between working in a very dry clean room (relative humidity less than 1%) and dry eye, and its progress by lapse of time. Methods: Targeting 352 employees working in a clean room of onesecondary cell production plant, it performed a dry eye examination in 2011, 2012, and 2013, totally three times. It performed the TFBUT, Schirmer’s test,slit lamp microscope examination, and Mac Morning survey. dry eye stages were classified based on the DEWS criteria. The annual examination results were analyzed through the Anova test and the post-mortem was conducted with Tukey, and in order to learn the effect of working time on dry eye, anunivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted having dry eye examination results as a dependent variable and working time as an independent variable. Results: According to TFBUT and Mac Morning survey, dry eye degenerated as time passed. There was no change in the Schirmer’s test. Considering that as a result of the univariate logistic regression analysis having dry eye examination results as a dependent variable and working time as an independent variable, in the Mac Morning survey, the cross ratio increased up to 1.127(95%CI 1.033~1.230)by lapse of time, it could be found that as working time is elongated, the complaining rate of dry eye increases. Conclusion: It is thought that a clean room with a relative humidity less than 1% affects causing dry eye. Working time limitation, job rotation, and health care such as prescription of artificial tear solution without preserved agent are necessary.

Purpose: To understand the pattern of prescribing contact lenses in Korea during 2010 to 2013 Methods: Four hundred survey questionnaires were randomly posted to Korean Optometric clinics for 4 years. The questionnaire was the same form used for International Contact Lens Prescribing Trend and designed to collect information about the contact lenses prescribed to the first 10 patients after its receipt. Results: Among the four hundred survey questionnaires, 1937 fits were used for the analysis. The mean age at fitting was 26.2±±7.0 in 2010, 26.1±±7.6 in 2011, 24.7±±6.6 in 2012 and 24.8±±7.2 in 2013. The majority of fits were female patients (75%). Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses (RGP) accounted for 10% of the fits. Amongst the soft contact lenses, silicon hydrogel lenses were 18% of fits (17% in 2010, 10% in 2011, 20% in 2012, 24% in 2013). Toric design lenses accounted 17% of soft lenses fits and had increased during 4 years (10% in 2010, 18% in 2011, 16% in 2012, 22% in 2013), And cosmetic contact lens accounted for 29% (15% in 2010, 20% in 2011, 40% in 2012, 41% in 2013). Conclusions: The majority of the contact lenses wearers were female and mean age become slightly younger. In relation to increase of younger female contact lens wearer, cosmetic lenses prescribed was much higher (29%) than global mean (7%) and gradually increased for last 4 years. This trend could be related to the growth of beauty market in Korea. Furthermore, silicon hydrogel lenses prescribed had increased during 4 years as global market trend (silicon hydrogel lenses accounted 52% of soft contact lenses in global market).

2013년 12월 인도네시아 발리에서 개최된 『제9차 WTO 각료회의』에서 WTO “발리 패키지”가 최종 타결되었다. 이번 협정은 2015년 7월 말까지 WTO 회원국의 동의 절차를 밟게 되며, 회원국 3분의 2 이상이 동의하면 해당 회원국에 한해 협정이 발효된다. 2001년 11월 카타르 도하에서 개최된 WTO 제4차 각료회의에서 농업, 서비스, 비농산물, 무역 규범, 환경, 지식재산권, 분쟁 해결 등의 협상 의제와 방식 등을 담은 “도하개발어젠다(DDA)”가 출범되었으나, 농산물에 대한 수입국과 수출국의 대립, 공산품에 대한 선진국과 개발도상국의 이해관계 및 의견 차이로 인하여 타결되지 못하였다. 발리 패키지에서는 조기수확(early harvest) 접근방식을 도입하여 DDA의 일부 부문에 대해서만 우선 타결한다는 목표로 협상을 추진하였고, 그 결과 DDA 협상의제 중 무역원활화, 농업 부문, 개발·최빈개도국 이슈 등 3개 부문에 걸쳐 10개의 합의문이 채택되었다.발리 패키지는 WTO 출범 이후 타결된 최초의 다자간 무역협상이다. 발리 패키지의 타결로 WTO의 기능 및 신뢰가 회복되었고, 향후 잔여 DDA 분야의 협상 타결 가능성이 높아졌다. 그러나 협상 분야가 매우 제한적이고, 회원국의 3분의 2 이상이 동의해야 발효되며, 동의한 회원국에만 적용되는 한계가 있다. 발리 패키지의 타결로 전 세계적으로 무역 1조 달러, 일자리 2,000만개 이상이 늘어날 것으로 예상되고, 우리나라의 GDP도 장기적으로 8% 이상 증가할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of hormone levels of serum progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17 β (E2) in sows of Landrace (L), Yorkshire (Y) and F1 (L × Y) (respectively n=3) with excellent ability, and to provide a baseline data for improving reproductive performance. In this experiment, the sows at the age of 12 months or more were used. The sows were fed by two way methods, one is conventional methods and the other is 3 days-flushing feed before estrus. Each pig’s blood was collected in 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 days after the estrus for the analyses of P4 and E2. Serum was separated by centrifugation for 15 min. with 3,000 rpm. Progesterone and estradiol-17β were measured by immunochemical assay (ELIZA test). In conventional feeding, serum progesterone levels were significantly (p<0.01) higher in F1 than in L and Y. No significant differences in P4 concentrations were seen between the L and Y of sows. Serum E2 levels were similar the serum progesterone levels. In the case of flushing feed, the tendency of hormonal changes were similar to conventional methods. But almost of hormonal levels were a little higher than that of conventional methods. P4 level of L and Y in flushing feed were significantly different (p<0.01). Serum E2 level of Y in flushing feed was significantly different among the breeds (p<0.01). These results were similar to the tendency of hormonal changes in general sows and moreover, flushing feed is known to develop the swine production, these results proved the fact of the methods. And these results suggested that more studies about hormonal changes in sows according to seasonal and nutritional factors should be needed.

This research was a Research and Development (R&D) project which aimed at developing digital storytelling based local wisdom through Blended Learning as an innovative media for teaching English at eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Petang. The development model used in this research was adapted from the development of Luther’s model (in Sutopo, 2003). The data were collected by using documentation technique, interview, observation, and questionnaire. This research found that, (1) in developing digital storytelling based local wisdom through a Blended Learning method required a number of chronologically steps, namely: observation, need analysis, media prototype design, expert judgment, revision of the product, field testing, analyzing of data and finalizing the final product; (2) the total mean score of the questionnaire filled by the English teacher was 4.09, it indicated that the product was categorized as excellent, and (3) furthermore, the result of the questionnaire filled by the students was 3.76, this meant that the implementation of the product could be categorized as good. The results of this study were as expected and can help both the teachers and the students in the process of teaching and learning English, especially narrative text.

The Jeju April Third Tragedy saw an estimated 14,000 and possibly many thousands more Jeju Islanders killed amid the political turmoil of a re-merging Korean stated after the Japanese occupation. US troops were stationed on the island province before and during the Tragedy which lasted from 1947 to 1954. The aim of this article is to present theoretical and practical issues of the unfnished business of reconciliation and social healing for the victims of the April Third Tragedy; for survivors, for family members, and for the memories of the decreased. This process requires the engagement of as many of the actors at that time, in order to conclude the story of April 3rd Tragedy. Based on 13 years of’ collaborative efforts setting up a vision of Jeju as World Peace Island, there is now formal recognition of the April 3rd Tragedy event. We have hoped for a future beyond the trauma and tragedy of the Mass-killing of Korea Jeju Islanders during and after the US Peacetime Occupation ( 1947-1954). Even though it has taken 10 years to translate the Jeju April 3 Incident Investigation Report of 2003 into an English edition in 2013, I believe, it provides a cornerstone for Jeju islanders to open a new Age of Social Healing for the Mass Killing of Korea Jeju Islanders ( the Tragedy) while under and then after US Military Peacetime Occupation (1947- 1954).
