Takju lees extract is expected to be a promising material for functional food. This study was conducted in order to assess the glycemic index (GI) of Takju lees extract and its effects in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The GI for Takju lees extract was evaluated with 10 healthy young adults (Male 5, Female 5). OGTT was conducted in 20 male db/db mice, fed on a diet containing 2% Takju lees extract for 4 weeks. Those animals were subjected to OGTT after one oral administration of Takju lees extract at 2 g/kg BW. The GI of the Takju lees extract was measured at 97.97. The effects of the Takju lees extract on the oral glucose tolerance test in db/db mice evidenced no differences as compared to the control group. In conclusion, Takju lees extract is a high GI material, and it has no effect on blood glucose levels in a type II diabetic animal model. Further studies will be required to confirm its anti-diabetic effects.

우리나라는 1987년 국도 PMS가 도입된 이래 국도 및 고속도로의 경우 그동안 도로포장의 상태를 평가할 수 있는 포장상태 평가기준을 마련하여 이를 바탕으로 유지보수를 시행하고 있다. 반면, 시단위 도로의 경우 비교적 많은 교통량이 통행하며, 가장 많은 연장을 차지하고 있으나 서울시의 경우를 제외하고는 포장상태를 평가할 수 있는 마땅한 시스템이 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울시 사례 및 기타 시단위 도로포장상태 조사자료를 토대로 아스팔트포장의 일반적 평가요소인 균열, 소성변형, 종단평탄성 등 3가지 요소에 대한 포장상태를 분석하였으며, 시단위 도로의 유지관리 의사결정에 필요한 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 본 연구의 포장평가지수 개발방법은 현장조사와 샘플구간에 대하여 전문가 그룹을 구성하여 설문조사를 실시한 후 통계적 처리를 거쳐 시단위 포장평가지수(MPCI)를 제시하였다. 또한 개별결함 지수에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였으며, 평가지수를 실제 현장에 적용하여 타 기관에서 사용중인 포장평가지수와의 비교를 통하여 그 적정성을 검증하였다.

지속적인 도로 건설에도 불구하고 이용차량의 급증으로 인해 도로에서 발생하는 혼잡은 만성적인 수준에 도달했으며, 도로에서의 이동성 및 정시성 저하를 초래하는 등 심각한 교통문제를 유발하고 있다. 이러한 교통문제를 해결하기 위해서는 소통상태 추이 및 혼잡 징후 파악, 혼잡 원인 및 영향범위 분석 등을 통해 혼잡관리 방안을 수립 시행하는 일련의 과정이 필요한데, 이를 위해서는 교통상태를 모니터링 할 수 있는 지표의 개발이 가장 선행되어야 할 중요한 사항이다. 이러한 이유로 미국을 비롯한 여러 나라들에서는 다양한 형태의 혼잡판단기준 및 혼잡지표를 개발하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 국내 실정에 부합하고 실효성 있는 교통소통관리를 위해 기존 혼잡지표들의 특징 및 국내 적용 가능성을 검토하여 향후 새로운 혼잡지표의 기능 및 요구사항 등에 대한 개발방향을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)-VA3.0 in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). The sample consisted of 301 patients who had received treatments at the physical therapy units of 5 medical institutions in Andong City in june 2006. Questionnaires on the WOMAC were recruited by 12 physical therapists. The internal structure and reliability of the scales were evaluated by means of item-internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient: ), item-discriminant validity, and Pearson's relation coefficient. To explore construct validity, we conducted a principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation analysis. The criterion for factor extraction was an eigenvalue >1.0. The average age of the patients was 62.1 years. All WOMAC subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function) were internally consistent with Cronbach's coefficients of .81, .91, and .80, respectively. The internal consistency reliability of item-each scale were also internally consistent with Cronbach's coefficient of .89 (Pearson's correlation coefficient: .71~.84), .93 (.89~.91), and .96 (.67~.91), respectively. However, high correlation was found among 3 items (.66~.83, .66~.67, and .67~.83), so the item-discriminant validity was low ( coefficient: .81, .91, .80, respectively). The construct validity by factor analysis was low because it was not consistent With WOMAC-VA3.0. In conclusion, the results reported here confirm the reliability of the WOMAC in patients with OA of the hip and knee. The collection of information on the hip and knee osteoarthritis using this instrument was acceptable to patients. A further prospective multi-center study will be necessary to prove the construct validity.

Recently, obesity that is increasingly becoming a major cause of various diseases and safety accidents in work places is emerging as a serious social problem. It is due to economic growth and improvement of living environments. Many researches are trying to find the root cause of obesity. Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze obesity index of citizens in Seoul which is a metropolis of Korea and a densely populated district. The data used in this study included 179 men and 152 woman subjects who are living in Seoul. Somatotype using Rohrer Index can be classified by 3 types (thin, standard, obesity). In order to analyze a detailed somatotype of citizens, age groups are divided into 30~34, 35~39, 40~49, and 50~59 years according to gender, respectively. In order to compare and analyze data, Coefficient of Variance, Cronbach's Alpha, Rohrer Idex and Drop Value were used in this study. The results of this study can be applied to the comfortable and safe work environments for workers.

The construction industry by its nature retains higher level of danger where the smallest of error may lead to a major catastrophe endangering many workers and public safety as well as provoke social criticism. With the aid of quantitative statistical data on safety-related calamity analyzed till this day, this paper handled in depth the analysis of diseases other than the accidents, and selected new variable indexes that influence the indirect sections of calamity that are mostly concealed and incorporated them in a new model. For the factor selection of new calamity evaluation model, FRAT(Frequency, Recency, Amount, Type of merchandise/service)technique of customer-related management in marketing was applied, and as for the significance of each factor in the weight selection of variables. Consequently, considering the graveness of the FRAT itself through safety management experts, the related researches must be expanded.

실험을 통한 한국형 체감온도지수를 개발하기 위하여 실험을 수행할 경우 필요한 피험자의 선발과정, 실험의 정확도, 피험자의 안전 및 실험에서 발생하게 될 여러 가지 상황을 대비하기 위해서 예비실험을 실시하였다. 예비실험에서는 저온에 의한 인체의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 영상 5˚C에서 풍속을 무풍에서 강풍으로 변화시키면서 실험조건과 인체의 안전에 대해 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 안면부 부위별 피부온도변화의 경우 얼굴의 오른쪽 부위이 기온과 풍속변화에 가장 민감하여 안정적인 변화경향을 나타내었으며 모든 피험자가 얼굴의 오른쪽 부위에서 가장 낮은 온도를 보였다. 성별에 따른 차이에서는 여성이 남성보다 더 민감하게 반응하였으며, 약한 풍속에서 피부온도가 크게 변화함을 알 수 있었으며, 기준풍속에 따른 영향은 체감온도지수 개발시 고려하지 않는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.

이 연구는 한국형 체감온도지수를 개발 보급하기 위한 생명기상분야 기초연구로서 현재 기상청에서 사용하고 있는 체감온도 모델의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 한반도는 도심지역, 해안도서지역, 내륙지역, 산간지역으로 구분되었다. 평균기온의 경우, 해안도서지역에서 가장 높았으며, 산간지역에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 최저기온은 도심지역과 해안도서지역에서 영하 20˚C이고, 내륙지역과 산간지역에서 영하 30˚C로 나타났다. 풍속의 경우, 평균 풍속과 최대 풍속이 모두 해안도서지역에서 강하게 나타났다. 그리고 동계의 지역별 기온과 풍속의 분포는 전 기간의 분포와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. JAG/TI와 Missenard 모델의 민감도 분석 결과, 기온이 체감온도에 더 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 영하의 온도에서는 풍속의 영향이 증가한다.

The purpose of this study was to determine reliability and validity of the Neck Disability Index (NDI) now in use for the first time in neck pain patients of Korea. Fifty subjects (26 males and24 female) with neck pain enrolled in the study. They completed a standardized self-administered questionnaire that include pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Reliability was determined by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha by internal consistency. Validity was examined by correlating the NDI scores to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. The Test-retest reliability of the translated versions of the NDI was good ICC (2,1) = .90 (95%CI .85 .95). Cronbach's alpha value for NDI was found to be .95 and this was statistically significant (p<.05). The criterion-related validity coefficients was .72 (p<.01). We conclude that the Korean version of NDI has shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of neck pain.
