Ghost fishing으로 추정되는 유실된 플라스틱 붕장어 통발에 어획된 붕장어의 섭이 상태와 개체의 성장에 대해 조사하기 위하여, 통발 조업선에 어획된 붕장어와 트롤 그물에 어획된 붕장어를 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. 어획된 붕장어의 평균 전장은 연안 통발 조업선과 시험 조업에서 어획된 것이 33.6cm, 트롤 그물에 어획된 것이 48.9cm 그리고 수거된 유실 통발에 어획된 것이 45.6cm이었다. 이러한 체장의 분포는 붕장어가 성장하면서 연안에서 외양으로 나간다는 사실과 일치한다. 위내용물 조사에서 먹이를 섭이하지 못해 위내용물이 전혀 없었던 붕장어의 비율은 통발 조업선 5.0%, 트롤 4.2% 그리고 유실 통발 87.6%로 유실 통발에서 17～20배 높게 나타났다. 먹이로써 어류를 섭이한 붕장어의 비율은 통발 조업선이 98.7%, 트롤이 78.8% 그리고 유실 통발이 63.3%로 나타났으며, 그 외의 먹이 생물은 갑각류와 두족류 등이었다. 순체중과 전장을 이용하여 계산한 비만도는 트롤 어획물이 1.514이고, 유실 통발 어획물이 1.292로서 약 15%의 차이가 있었으며, 이들 자료에 대한 공 분산분석에서 실시한 t검정 결과 5% 유의수준에서 위치의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the independent ADL (Activities of Daily Living) level of elderly people using a questionnaire made up of a mobility scale, two basic ADL measurement tools, and an instrumental ADL measurement tool, and to differentiate between the levels according to various performance environments. The subjects were elderly people (over 60 years) who live in Wonju City (pop.240,000). A survey tool made up of 110 items was used for this study and the quiestionnaire was completed by 7 investigators who interviewed the respondents at gatherings for the elderly. The results were analyzed according to gender, 3 age groups (60-69, 70-75, and over 76), comfortable position preference (floor sitting or chair sitting), and housing type (detached house or apartment) by non parametric statistics, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The results were as follows: 1. According to age group, basic ADL dependence level was not significantly different in ‘cleaning house’, ‘travelling’, ‘street crossing’, ‘hospital visiting’, and ‘walking around’. Women were more significantly dependent than men in instrumental ADL: ‘going to the post office’, ‘driving’, and ‘street crossing’, but without significant difference of dependence level in basic ADL. 2. According to position pattern, dependence level was not significantly different for ‘face washing’, ‘hair washing’ or ‘foot washing’. At rest, people sitting on the floor were more dependent in instrumental ADL items only for ‘shopping’ and ‘attending religious services’. People living in detached houses reported significantly more difficulty using the toilet than those in apratments. 3. The most sensitive items for evaluating functional independence of the elderly were: ‘using the telephone’, ‘face washing’, ‘hair washing’, ‘foot washing’, and ‘bottle opening’ in basic ADL, and ‘hospital visiting’, ‘travelling’, and ‘street crossing’ in instrumental ADL. The Cronbach α value of mobility, basic ADL, instrumental ADL were 0.87, 0.86, and 0.91, respectively. To evaluate the ADL of old age, we have to use evaluation tools suitable to the Korean culture. The most useful items were ‘telephone use’, ‘face washing’, ‘hair washing’, ‘foot washing’, ‘bottle opening’ in basic ADL, and ‘hospital visiting’, ‘travelling’, and ‘street crossing’ in instrumental ADL. Especially, instrumental ADL is more valuable than basic ADL in evaluating old age. It is more important in evaluating the practical aspects of life in old age to consider housing and living patterns because there are some ADL items which are affected by comfortable sitting preference and housing style.

The purpose of this study was to know whether the performance of activities of daily living(ADL) affect the depression level of disable people or not. In this study, the ADL item was divided into two category as basic ADL and instrumental ADL. The particip- ants were 67 persons with cerebral palsy(aged 16 to 49). Over 80% of the subjects had independent ability to perform the basic ADL, but, in instrumental ADL items, 50% of them needed assistance. Each of basic and instrument ADL item were signific- antly correlated to the depression level(p<0.01). The Spearman correlation coefficients of basic and instrumental ADL item were 0.336 and 0.416 respectively. As before, ins-trumental ADL item score was more correlated to depression level than basic ADL item score.

The purpose of this study is defined increased active motion utilizing tenodesis splint and vibratory stimulation during functional activities. We selected three left cerebral vascular accident right hand dominance with right hemiplegic patients. who has been actively participating in occupational therapy. Patients participated twice per week from June 1st 1997 until August 30th 1997. According to our study, improvement has been noted in active extension with vibratory stimulation only. No signifinicant improvement was noted with tenodesis splint. Further study is necessary to generalization of stimulation for therapeutic use.

Recently the researches to enhance the hand function of brain injured clients are increased. One of those aspects is related to in-hand manipluation. In-hand manipulation is divided to four types: that is finger-to-palm translation. palm-to-finger translation, shift, and rotation. The purpose of this study was to find type of in-hand manipulation in normal adults in six activities and to differentiate the pattern of in-hand manipulation between normal adults and children with cerebral palsy. The participants were consist of twenty normal adults and twenty cerebral palsy. children. As a results, cerebral palsy children significantly used at lower frequence than normal adults in 3 activities. Also, in the other items, there are some pattern to differenciate between normal adults and cerebral palsy children but that was not significant statistically. The development of in-hand manipulation skills involves improvement in the dimension of activities of daily living skills training and more detailed evaluation method will be needed.

Unilateral neglect has been the most considerable problem that affects the functional prognosis of CVA patients. The approaches to this symptom are both remedial and compensatory approach. Remedial approach is more valuable method than compensatory approach in terms of reducing the unilateral neglect originally. One of the method of remedial approach is controlled sensory stimulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of left visual stimuli for reducing the severity of unilateral neglect. The subject was a 40-year-old male patient who had left unilateral neglect. We have put blinking light in the left space of the patient while he performed the line bisection test before and after the stimulation. As a result, the stimulation was not distinctively effective to release the neglect. For further study. it is considered that the environment when stimulating, the strength and duration of stimulation must be controlled.
