Purpose: This study explored teachers’ experiences of practicing character education focusing on Juingonggwanbeop in elementary schools. The goal was to provide universal Juingong-gwanbeop character education programs for schools. Methods: This study used one-on-one in-depth interviews to collect data from teachers working at different elementary schools regarding their character education experiences. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: 5 themes and 16 sub-themes were derived from the analysis. The five themes included “Starting Juingong-gwanbeop character education for various reasons”, “Feeling joy when seeing students changing through Juingong-gwanbeop character education”, “Difficulties in managing Juingong-gwanbeop character education”, “Development and dissemination of standardized Juingong-gwanbeop character education programs”. Conclusion: The findings showed that both students and teachers experienced positive changes and growth in their school lives through Juingong-gwanbeop character education. The participants expressed a strong desire to develop universal programs and materials for teachers who have not been exposed to Juingong-gwanbeop.

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.

본 연구의 목적은 항균활성이 높은 김치 젖산균 Lac. homohiochii B21과 Leu. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16을 스타터로 사용하여 관능적인 특성이 좋고, 냉면중의 유해세균에 대하여 높은 항균활성을 나타내는 냉면용 동치미액의 속성 제조방법을 설정하는 것이다. 상기의 두 젖산균을 스타터로 사용할 때에는 각각을 단독 사용하는 것보다 혼합 사용하는 것이 산생산과 항균활성에 더 좋았다. 동치미 담금시에 스타터를 접종하지 않았을 때에는 발효초기에 그램음성균과 대장균군의 수가 현저히 증가하였고 동치미액의 항균활성도 거의 없었다. 스타터를 접종했을 때에는 그램음성균과 대장균군의 수가 초기부터 급격히 감소하였고 항균활성도 매우 높았다. 동치미 재료를 가열살균하고 스타터를 접종했을 때에는 그램 음성균과 대장균군이 초기부터 검출되지 않았으며 항균활성도 높았다. 본 스타터로 20℃에서 동치미를 발효할 때 발효 2일에 항균활성이 가장 높았고 6일에는 항균활성이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 동치미액의 대장균군수, 항균활성 및 관능적인 특성을 고려할 때 재료를 80℃에서 15분간 열처리하고 상기의 두 젖산균을 혼합접종하여 20℃에서 2일간 발효함이 좋은 것으로 판단되었다.
