This study was performed to examine the relationship between the body mass index (BMI), the body fat, and the serum lipids of post-menopausal women in rural areas. The subjects were 510 women aged 50 and over. As a result of this study, we found a trend of decreasing BMI as age increased, but body fat increased. In addition, there was a significant decreasing of the lean body mass than an increasing of the body mass index according to increasing age. Therefore, this study confirmed that a main cause of rural women being classified as obese is a decrease in lean body mass, rather than an increase in of body fat. Of all subjects, 36.3% (18.5≤BMI 〈 23) of all subjects were classified as having normal BMI, whereas only 21.4% were classified as having normal body fat. Out of 190 subjects who were body fat 30% and over, 38 subjects were classified as obese (BMI≥25) and 113 subjects were classified as overweight (23≤BMI 〈 25). The percentile of those with a BMI of 25kg/m2 was 70, and they had 30.82% body fat. HDL cholesterol showed a negative correlation with anthropometric factors (height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, waist hip ratio, body fat), and total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides showed a positive correlation. Especially, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and hip circumference showed significant correlations. Because of differences in the body fat and lean body mass by age group, it seems difficult to assess obesity via BMI only. The elderly especially should have a higher significance placed on body fat or abdominal fat than only BMI.

This study was performed to assess the relationships among bone mineral density, anthropometric measurements, maternal factors and exercise in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Anthropometric measurements were taken by a trained practitioner and the maternal factors of the 78 subjects in Gyeonggi-do were acquired by an interview questionnare. The BMD of the lumbar spine(L2~L4), femoral neck, Ward`s triangles and trochanters were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The mean age of the premenopausal women was 45.23 years and that of the postmenopausal women whose ase of menopause was 49.37 years was 61.27 years. The age, waist and waist to hip ratio of postmenopausal women were significantly higher than those of premenopausal women. BMD of the lumbar spine(L2~L4) in postmenopausal women was significantly higher than that of premenopausal women. Number of children and age at last delivery were significantly higher in postmenopausal women than those in premenopausal women. The BMDs of the lumbar spine and femoral neck of premenopausal women was positively correlated with weight, body mass index, waist and WHR and the BMDs of these two sites in postmenopausal women were positively correlated with height, and weight. In postmenopausal women, BMD of the lumbar spine was negatively correlated with duration time after menopause and BMD of the femoral neck was positively correlated with age at last delivery. These results suggest that it is necessary to maintain adequate body weight. Health management and education about performing more exercise are recommended for postmenopausal women to prevent osteoporosis.

This study was conducted based on a comparative analysis of design-specific features prevalent in the Women's Wear Collection S/S 2011. As the method of this study, the denim styles were classified by various fashion design factors consisting of silhouette, fit, color, and textile fabric, which were extracted from an image database. The properties of denim fabrics associated with each fashion image were investigated to inform fabric development and washing. The results of the study show that the dense and glossy surface of the denim fabric represent a modern trend, which can be achieved by blending lyocell, tencel and rayon or by using different textiles, such as lightweight plain weave and satin instead of twill. For casual look, various washing effects were utilized jean's casual feeling like freedom and activities, while in a modern image, washing effects was restricted. And a glossy textile offers a simple modern look. The Modern image represents a simple H-silhouette and wide or straight fit in bottoms as well. Brightness can be adjusted by washing-induced bleaching. High brightness gives an elegant image, while low brightness makes a casual image. The purpose of this study is to configure a database for the development of design in the growing women's casual wear market. In addition, This study, in which the elements for specific fashion image-making were analyzed, can be used as a reference for developing denim style and fabric.

The aim of this study was to develop a pattern of flight attendant uniform shirts to provide better comfort for their work postures. Flight attendants’ work postures were evaluated to determine the problems of clothing and mobility during their work. The pattern of the flight attendants’ uniform shirt was altered by applying dynamic wearing ease(DWE). DWE was calculated from four standardized dynamic postures and a static posture. An experimental garment was made with the altered postures. The researcher redesigned the pattern of the uniform shirts, which minimizes physical limitations in movements. The fit and mobility of the shirts were evaluated. Results of this study are as follows. First, the five representative work postures were selected by “clothing stress” and “repetitiveness.” These postures included raised arms, twisting midriff and shoulder postures. Five representative postures were selected by using the ergonomic posture assessment device index(OWAS). Second, the experimental garment was developed by applying DWE across the back and at armhole depth, back length, and side length. Third, the fit and mobility of the experimental garments and the original uniform shirts were compared at the flight working environment set and 5 dynamic body postures of raising arms. The experimental garments made with an altered pattern provided better fit and mobility than the original sample shirts.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze two original forms of slacks for thesis to extract outward appearance of design original form applying design measures of the above through diverse research methods. The results of this study are as follow: In original form F, the original form of slacks sloper suitable to elderly women 65～69 years old was W/4+3.5+0.5cm in the front/back circumference of waist, H/4cm in the front/back circumference of hip, (H/4+1+3.8)/2cm in the position of centerline, 19cm in actual measurement value of hip length, 25cm in actual measurement value of crotch depth, (knee crotch circumference～bottom line)/2+10cm and 90 (side waist dot～ lateral malleolus length)cm in actual measurement. front dart position was 1/3 and 2/3 of front waist centerline and back dart position was 1/3 and 2/3 of back waist circumference. It was suggested that front dart quantity (length) was 3.5(11)cm, back dart quantity 3.4 (10.2)cm, side waist up quantity 0.7cm, back down quantity 1.5cm, front crotch width (H/4+1)/4-1cm, back crotch width (H/4+1)/4+4, front knee width 21.8cm, back knee width 24.4cm, front pant leg 20.8cm, and back pant leg 23.4cm.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of bridging stabilization exercise on balance ability and gait performance in elderly women. The subjects of this study were thirty-one elderly women over 65 years old in HongSung-Gun Senior Citizen Welfare Hall. The subjects were randomly assigned into one of three groups (trunk stabilization exercise on the mat, whole body vibration, and Swiss ball) and participated in each exercise program three times a week for 4 weeks. Each exercise began in the bridging position. The dynamic balance and gait were measured by limit of stability area using force plate, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The results were as follows: 1) The limit of stability in three groups increased significantly in anterior-posterior and medial-lateral lean after 4-weeks intervention (p<.05). 2) There were no significant differences in the limit of stability among three groups after 4-weeks intervention (p>.05). 3) The BBS and TUG in three groups increased significantly after 4-weeks intervention (p<.05). 4) There were significant differences among three groups in BBS. Post-hoc test showed that Swiss ball exercise group was significantly higher than the mat and whole body vibration groups. 5) There were no significant differences TUG among three groups after 4-weeks intervention (p>.05). In conclusion, this study suggested that 4 weeks of the bridging stabilization exercises were effective on balance and gait in all three groups. Particularly Swiss ball exercise group showed higher improvement than two other exercise groups (mat, whole body vibration group).

법무부 인권정책과 여성정책팀이 2010년 4월부터 12월까지 전국의 교정시설 수용자 600명(여자수용자 259명)을 대상으로 실시한 ‘법무시설에 대한 성별 영향 평가’ 결과 여성수용자의 81.3%가 교정시설에 직업훈련 프로그램이 없다는 점과 프로그램이 다양하지 않은 점을 불만족 사유로 꼽으며 교정시설에서 출소 후 미래를 준비할 기회가 없었다고 대답을 하였다. 이는 교정시설에서 자격증 등을 준비하며 출소 후의 생활을 준비하는 남성수용자와는 대조적인 모습을 볼 수 있다. 여성의 신체적 특성과 차이에도 불구하고 그 특성에 따른 지원은 미비하며 여성수용자와 남성수용자 사이에는 남녀의 차이에서 오는 생활의 방식도 다름에도 불구하고 거의 유사한 운영으로 인하여 여성수용자들의 불만은 남성에 비하여 상대적으로 높았다. 교정은 형사사법의 국가기관으로부터 유죄 선고를 받은 범죄자가 비교적 안정된 상태에서 상당 기간 동안 만나게 되는 형사절차에 속한다. 그러므로 교정단계는 형벌적 성격과 교화적 성격을 함께 가지는 범죄자에게 가장 중요한 단계라고 할 수 이다. 그렇기 때문에 이제는 남성수용자와 다른 성적 특성을 지닌 여성수용자들에 대한 특별한 교정의 지침을 완성해야하며 여기에서는 현행 법률인「형의 집행 및 수용자의 처우에 관한 법률」을 통하여 여성수용자들의 산부인과 진료, 여성수용자들의 모성본능과 모성본분을 실현할 수 있는 근거, 여성수용자들의 환경 개선 등의 부분에 대하여 개정안을 제안하며, 현행 법률의 문제점을 다시 한 번 검토하고 여성수용자의 처우에 대한 새로운 패러다임을 제시하고자 한다.

This study is aimed at suggesting the leaner-centered education methods in the formal speech education that is one of the liberal education in the university. It is important for learners to understand their style. Their own characters and style influence their speeches. So in order to show the various speech model, we analysed the women leaders' speeches in Korea. These models help for learners to find their style and to improve their speech ability. As practices comprise a large portion of the speech education in the university, it is more important that learners prepare the speech and practice by themselves. Therefore, in this paper we present the 4 steps for speech practice. Through these steps, learners can understand their style, find their model, prepare speech and improve their speech ability. To find their model, the learners evaluate their characters, speech rate, tone, intonation, linguistic expression, gesture and face look. The method of learning suggested in this paper can help the learners overcome their fear and prepare the speech. Also, the college students that recognize the women leaders superficially will have an opportunity to aware women leaders in Korea at a new viewpoint.

This study examines and compares the address terms in Korean textbooks and questionnaires, which are aimed at married migrant women. The results of the study show that among the eight major Korean address terms, the frequent uses of the kin and kinship address terms are founded in the Korean textbooks and married migrant women. Because they are bound by marriage, married migrant women talk more frequently with their husbands, parents-in-law, and relatives than the others. Moreover, due to their recent migration to Korea, they do not only connect with others but also cannot converse well in Korean. The results also illustrate that a few terms of address exist in Korean textbooks. While all address terms in Korean textbooks coincide with standard speech, some address terms revealed in questionnaires are not appropriate for standard speech. “obba” and “name (married migrant women)” are most frequently used between married migrant women and their husbands. Further, “ya, eo-i” is more frequently used by parents-in-law and relatives for addressing married migrant women. The address terms such as “obba,” “name,” and “ya, eo-i” are incorrect address terms for expressing the relationship between a husband and a wife—family. Both parties concerned with Korean textbooks and Korean education must devote considerable space, and time to teaching the address terms so that they can be used efficiently by married migrant women.

This paper examines the recent exhibitions that reflect feminist global issues initiated and discussed by feminist artists, critics and curators in the U.S. and Korea. While the feminist exhibitions such as <Global Feminisms> and <WACK!> maintain strong western feminist legacies by accepting women artists from other cultures who learn the western feminist idioms, Korean feminist exhibitions attempt to expand its discourse to the feminist artists in the neighboring countries in Asia while respecting Korean traditions and positions. In this new terrain, the emergence of Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale further complicates the meaning of feminist-initiated exhibitions. The biennale, initiated by local women artists untrained by feminism, gradually grows into a large-scale global event and challenges the current status quo of Korean artists who have been divided into feminists and non-feminists, regional artists and global artists, progressives and conservatives, and etc.

本论文主要以韩中日古典文学作品中出现的女性的复仇心理为主题，分 析了韩中日古典文化中女性决心复仇的动机、复仇的实施和方法，以及复仇 后的结果。我们发现，三个国家古典文学中女性复仇的行为有以下共同点。 第一，韩中日女性的复仇动机与男性不同，多少会停留在个人的立场。第 二，在复仇的展开过程中，如复仇的动机都有伦理方面的背景，就在现实世 界中以具体的复仇方法出现，但复仇的动机以爱憎为起因，就因为心怀怨恨 而变为冤魂，在虚幻世界中实施报复。第三，复仇成功的女性，结局多少都 会有一些悲剧色彩。即使怀有伦理方面的动机，在社会上被广为称颂，这些 复仇成功的女性们，即‘强大的女性’，再也不能回到原来的世界了。在这些 作品中，我们可以看到这种限制性。 但是，因三个国家文化背景的不同，也存在一些差异性。第一，中国除 了佛教以外，在道教高度发展和传统的崇尚儒侠思想的大环境下，复仇的女 性多被赋予侠女的形象。第二，在韩国，复仇的女性(剑女，江上孝女等)实 行复仇时必定会换上男装。换上男装后完成复仇的行为，间接地弱化了复仇 女性的形象。第三，不同于中国和韩国，日本相对来说并不强调'贞节'。 结果，基本上否定了在东亚三个国家的古典文学中出现的所有‘复仇女’ 的形象。但是, 以社会认同的伦理动机为出口，给强势女性的出现留下了余 地。女性因男尊女卑而被压抑，这种压抑女性的社会构造在复仇的背景下成 为一种可以倾诉的感情净化之地。
