Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational conditions and foot morphology in industrial workers. Objects: A total of 118 workers from Cheonan and South Korea were recruited through a manufacturing plant for participation in this study. Methods: Musculoskeletal findings were evaluated by musculoskeletal symptoms disease questionnaire. We measured foot structure and foot plantar pressure-based variables using the Arch Finder System. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to investigate statistical examination. Results: Longer years of service revealed a weak negative correlation with foot width, medial arch height, and metatarsal width; workers with foot pain and laborious positions record high values of plantar pressure than those in office positions. Furthermore, strong bilateral correlations were observed between the foot morphological structure parameters of participants (r = 0.796–0.890). Conclusion: Occupational conditions, particularly duty duration and job type, influence plantar pressure and foot structure. Plantar pressure assessment may aid in the early identification and prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Background: With rapid advances in digital technology, tablet PC use among university students has increased significantly. While convenient, prolonged use often causes neck and shoulder discomfort due to poor posture, such as forward head posture and rounded shoulders. Although students commonly use tablets for writing, there is limited research on head movements during these tasks. Objects: To compare frontal plane head movements and tablet tilt angles between college students with and without neck pain during tablet PC use. Methods: Participants were divided into two groups based on neck pain presence (neck pain group and no pain group). Each participant sat at a table, adjusted the tablet stand angle independently, and placed the tablet accordingly. Participants wore earphones and dictated English sentences to ensure focused handwriting and the evaluator recorded all process. These video recordings of handwriting sessions were analyzed for frontal plane head movements using Kinovea software. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied to reveal the group differences in tablet tilt angle, total head movement (THM), horizontal head movement (HHM), and vertical head movement (VHM). Results: There were no significant differences between the neck pain and no neck pain groups in tablet tilt angle or HHM (p > 0.05). In contrast, the neck pain group exhibited significantly greater THM (p < 0.001) and VHM (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate no significant relationship between neck pain and tablet tilt angle or HHM, but a significant association with increased VHM and THM. These findings provide basic knowledge for understanding movement patterns in individuals with neck pain.

세계 미학 전통은 서구의 플라톤과 동양의 베다로부터 그 오랜 궤적을 이어오고 있다. 예술이든 문학이든, 이 두 영역은 경험과 상상력 속에서 아름다움의 향기를 간직해 왔으며, 이러한 철학은 동서양 모두에서 일관되게 나타난다. 동양과 서 양 문학의 고전 텍스트들은 진정한 아름다움에 대한 담론을 이끌어내는 상호텍스트성 의 통로를 열어준다. 인도의 대표적 철학서인 􋺷바가바드 기타􋺸는 만물에 내재된 절대 적 자아의 원리를 수호하며, 영혼은 불멸의 성질 안에서 존재하고 지속된다고 본다. 본 논문은 자아의 아름다움이 인식되는 보편적이고 절대적인 경험의 진실에 대해, 서 구 사상가들과 고대 인도 철학서들이 제시하는 논거와 개념들을 고찰한다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 􋺷바가바드 기타􋺸와 W. B. 예이츠의 작품은 해당 주제에 대해 풍부한 사유 의 장을 제공한다. 본고는 이러한 미학적 연관성과 그 효과에 대한 분석을 시도한다.

본고는 에후드 보드너의 학문적 연구의 틀을 바탕으로 하여 T. S. 엘리 엇의 J. 알프레드 프루프록의 연가 (1915)와 W. B. 예이츠의 탑 (1928)에 투영된 노 화와 노화하는 자아를 재/조명한다. 노화에 대한 사회문화적 태도가 산업혁명 이전의 서구 사회에서 긍정적이었다면, 산업혁명 이후 개인주의 사회에서는 그 시각이 부정적 으로 변화된 양상을 보이는데, 이는 두 작품을 분석하는 데 중요한 맥락을 제공한다. 20세기 초 영문학과 노년학을 가로지르는 학제간 연구로서 이 글은 노화를 바라보는 산업혁명 이전과 이후 사이의 변화된 태도를 그 중심부에 위치시켜 엘리엇의 프루프 록 과 예이츠의 탑 에 대한 다시 읽기를 수행한다.

A new aphid species record for South Korea, Greenidea (Trichosiphum) prunicola, is reported based on the collection of apterous viviparous females from Castanopsis sieboldii in Tongyeong-si in 2024. This discovery increases the number of known Greenidea species in South Korea to four. Detailed morphological descriptions, measurements, host plants, and distribution data for G. (T.) prunicola are provided. The species is characterized by its glossy reddish-brown body, a body length of 1.70–2.60 mm, a siphunculus that is 0.32–0.37 times the body length, and long, primarily bifurcated dorsal setae. Previous host records include Prunus spp., and its known distribution now includes South Korea, China, and India. A key to the four species of the genus Greenidea now known to be present in South Korea is also provided.
