보육교사의 공감능력과 영유아 권리존중 간 관계

Objectives The purpose of this study is, first, to investigate the relationship between childcare teachers' empathy, respect for infants' rights, and childcare teachers' sensitivity, and secondly, to verify the mediating effect of sensitivity in the relationship between empathy and respect for infants' rights. Methods Empathy, respect for infants' rights, and sensitivity tests were conducted on 337 infant and toddler teachers at daycare centers located in South Chungcheong Province, Daejeon City, and Sejong City. Correlation analysis of each variable was conducted, and SPSS Process Macro Model 4 was used to verify the mediating effect of sensitivity in the impact of childcare teachers' empathy on respect for infants' rights. Results As a result of this study, first, it was found that childcare teachers' empathy, respect for infants' rights, and sensitivity were all significantly correlated. Second, the sensitivity of the childcare teacher completely mediated the relationship between respect for infants and children's rights. Sensitive interaction, a subfactor of sensitivity, fully mediated the relationship between the two variables, and insensitive interaction partially mediated the relationship between the two variables. Conclusions The results of this study showed the importance of enhancing childcare teachers' empathy and sensitivity in order to improve the quality of respect for infants' rights, and suggest the need to find intervention methods to help childcare teachers improve their sensitive interactions.

충남지역의 19세기말 20세기초 사회운동의 통일교육적 시사 연구

The path to unification is in line with the Donghak Movement, the March 1st Movement, and the peaceful unification movement that must continue today. What can be further strengthened in the future is that the Donghak Movement and the Manse Movement that took place in South Chungcheong Province were a national social movement and at the same time a fierce resistance and peace movement of the independence movement against Japanese oppression. This path of independence is a path of national participation that is consistent with the path to unification today. In this sense, the fact that the spirit of the Unification Movement, the Donghak Revolutionary Movement, the Righteous Army Movement, the March 1st Movement, and the Singanhoe Movement continued to form local movements in the South Chungcheong region shows that the spirit of the local residents was based on long-term independence and independence. Therefore, although the division is prolonged, unification education can be continuously expanded for someday unification and a connection with open discussion can be found.

경제범패 전승과 의례 현실 -동주 스님 구술을 통하여-

In this research, I focused on the life and succession of the Gyeongje Beompae through the oral dictation of Ven Dongju, Seoul's Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 43, while at the same time focusing on new related facts and previously misunderstood information. Ven Dongju was born in Onyang, South Chungcheong Province in 1945, and became a monk in 1961, He learned Beompae from instructor Ven Byeogeung, and completed all Yeongsan courses while attending Ven Songam at Bongwonsa Temple in Seoul, in 1967. At this time, a sound recording of Ven Songam's Beompae was included as key content in 『The Posthumous Works of Grand Master Ven Songam in the Korean Buddhist Chant Series 』. Because his father was a monk, he had been familiar with chanting and Beompae while growing up, and had a profound grasp of memorizing Beompae melodies and performing its rituals. Thus his instructor, Songam, had high expectations for him. In 1970, Ven Dongju left to practice Zen meditation and returned to Sajaam temple, Sangdo-dong, Seoul in 1977. Afterwards, he opened a course at the Institute for Ritual and Chanting and taught Beompae to various disciples. In 1993, he founded Hongwon Temple and has trained many disciples there to this day. He dictated what he heard or experienced while attending Beompae master Ven Songam’s classes, in addition to tose of Ven Kim Taeheup, who was a famous scholar and lecturer on Buddhism. Ven Dongju told me about the first Beompae lecture at Okcheon Beomeum Institute in 1969, especially the Beompae transmission circumstances of the western and eastern regions in Seoul at this time. He mentioned the activities of Ven Jeon Uun, who taught Beompae in Hamheung, Gaeseong, and all around Korea before and after liberation from Japanese occupation, He also talked of monk Eungtan from Jingwansa temple who lectured in Hwajangsa Temple in Gaeseong. These facts tell us that Gyeongje Beompae was not only influenced by Gaeseong Beompae, but also, in turn, influenced it. Above all, the fact that monks were active in the fields of Korean traditional music and Buddhist ritual music and had exchanges with traditional Korean musicians was an opportunity to confirm the important basis that Korean traditional music and Beompae are tied by one root.

Factors Affecting the Willingness to Pay for Environmental Improvements during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do

Background and objective: This study aimed to assess satisfaction with environmental factors during the COVID-19 pandemic and key factors affecting the willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental improvements using logistic regression analysis.Methods: Cross-sectional survey data of 504 residents of Taean-gun in Chungcheongnam-do (South Chungcheong Province), taken from July to August 2020, were used.Results: The assessment of their satisfaction with five environmental factors found that their satisfaction with the natural ecology had the highest score, while their satisfaction with the waste factor had the lowest score. With respect to overall environmental satisfaction, it was found that regardless of gender, age, and income, most residents were highly satisfied with the overall environment of Taean-gun (Taean County). In addition, the WTP for environmental improvements was slightly higher among males than among females. Residents in their 60s or older and with a monthly income of 4 - 4.99 million won were most likely to express WTP for environmental improvements. A binominal logit analysis found that increased environmental concerns (EC), satisfaction with environmental health (EHS) and income were crucial factors in determining the WTP for environmental health. The variables of increased EC and income, have a positive (+) relationship with WTP, while the variable of EHS has a significantly a negative (-) relationship with WTP.Conclusion: In other words, the higher the EC, the lower the EHS, and the higher the income, the more likely residents were to express WTP for environmental improvements. This study has significance in that it can provide primary data for sustainable local environmental plans to improve public environmental awareness for sustainability, and environmental strategies to prepare for post-pandemic life.

건축물 화재안전에 관한 관련법상 연구

Every time a major fire incident occurs, such as the Seocheon Specialized Market fire incident in South Chungcheong Province on January 22, 2024, the fire safety management authorities, including the central government (Ministry of Public Administration and Security, National Fire Agency) and local governments (local governments, fire stations), have revised organizations, mechanisms, and laws and promised to prevent recurrence. However, they are unable to effectively manage fire safety due to overlapping duties between fire safety management departments, dual regulations in fire-related laws, deficiencies in on-site command systems, and the public's insensitivity to disaster safety. Protecting the lives, bodies, and property of citizens from various unexpected fires aligns with the objectives of the「Constitution」,「Basic Fire Fighting Act」,「Fire-related Laws」, and「Building- related Laws」. This paper aims to present the problems and improvement directions of the laws related to fire safety management in buildings, followed by personal opinions and methods for enhancing public fire safety awareness and conducting education.

A Multisite Study on the Effect of a Urinary Incontinence Self-Management Program on Community-Dwelling Older Women in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a urinary incontinence (UI) self-management program on UI symptoms, knowledge, and self-efficacy in community-dwelling older women. A 1-group pretest-posttest design. Participants were recruited from 14 primary healthcare posts (PHCPs) in South Chungcheong Province, rural South Korea. A total of 163 women participated in a 5-session UI self-management program. The UI self-management program was sequentially conducted across 14 PHCPs between May and November 2016. In each PHCP, 6 to 22 women participated in the program. The program consisted of weekly 90-minute sessions that were conducted across 5 weeks. Each session included a lecture on UI, reflective discussion, pelvic floor muscle training, and the assignment of homework (exercises and a daily bladder diary). Main outcome variables were measured using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Urinary Incontinence Knowledge Scale (UIKS), and Geriatric Self-Efficacy Index for Urinary Incontinence (GSE-UI), which were administered before and after the intervention. Descriptive statistics were computed, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests analyzed the data. The intervention resulted in a significant decrease in the ICIQ-SF scores, which was indicative of improvement in UI severity (pretest: 6.64 [SD 6.15], posttest: 4.76 [SD 5.08], P = .001), significant increases in the UIKS (pretest: 15.69 [SD 6.36], posttest: 23.14 [SD 5.54], P = .001] and GSE-UI (pretest: 75.34 [SD 31.80], [posttest: 86.20 [SD 27.06], P = .001) scores. The UI self-management program improved UI symptoms, knowledge, and self-efficacy among community-dwelling older women.

This study is about the aspects of demolition and reconstruction of Seowon that currently exists in the Chungcheong region(South Chungcheong Province, North Chungcheong Province, Daejeon Metropolitan City, and Sejong Special City).
 In the materials related to Seowon created by the government during the Choseon Dynasty, it is recorded that there were 107 Seowons and Confucius in the Chungcheong region, and 44 of them received Saek(賜額).
 However, looking at the records created during the policy of abolishing seowon , it was foun d that there were man y more seowon .
 After the reign of King Injo, the establishment of Confucian academies was regulated, and Confucian academies were demolished on a large scale during the reigns of Sukjong, Yeongjo, and Gojong, leaving only five Seowons in the Chungcheong region.
 Afterwards, the first discussion in Korea took place demanding the restoration of Hwayang Seowon in Cheongju. It was 1874, just three years after it was demolished. However, due to the symbolism of Hwayang Seowon, the state did not allow its reproduction.
 Now, the Con fucian class just wan ted a space to worship their an cestors. They just build a Dan(壇, altar) or held Ancestaral Rites in pavilion or seodang. Additionally, 8 rebuilding of previous seowon can check in 1910.
 During the Japanese colonial period, Twenty-two seowons were rebuilt, and new seowons also appeared. In most cases, it was created under the initiative of the family. Uniquely, the ‘Asan Hyeonchungsa’ dedicated to Admiral Yi Sun-Shin(李舜⾂), was re-opened by the press through a campaign to re-open it. After liberation, Forty-Four seowons were reestablished. However, it was not reproduced in its original form.
 Recently, there is a tendency for local governments to designate Seowon as a cultural asset or carry out a project to transform it into a sanctuary and use it as a tourist facility.

 Results Research results were as follows. First, the correlations between early childhood teacher’s ego-resil-ience, job satisfaction, and recognition of professionalism were significant. Second, the mediating effect of recog-nition of professionalism was significant in the relationship between ego-resilience and job satisfaction.
 Conclusions The results of this study empirically verified the mediating effect of recognition of professionalism on the effect of ego-resilience of early childhood teachers on job satisfaction, and provides useful implications for program development or intervention to improve job satisfaction of early childhood teachers.

Capturing key function-focused care problems, nursing diagnoses, and interventions for nursing home patients using a web-based case management system.

The aim of this study is to identify the key functional care problems, NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, and intervention plans related to function-focused care (FFC) using a web-based case management system for patients who present different cognitive status. This study employed a retrospective descriptive research design. Data were obtained from system records on patients after the research team trained the case management system at a nursing home in Dangjin in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. A total of 119 inpatient records were analyzed. The key physical, cognitive, and social functional problems, nursing diagnoses in six domains (health promotion, elimination and exchange, activity/rest, perception/cognition, coping/stress tolerance, and safety/protection), and intervention plans were identified. The identified FFC case management information of interdisciplinary caregivers will provide evidence for the implementation of effective interventions according to a patient's functional status. Additional studies related to the establishment of a large clinical database of advanced case management systems focusing on interdisciplinary caregivers' functional management are needed to support the prioritization of functional care.

Third, functional congruity had a positive effect on brand trust. Fourth, functional congruity had a positive effect on attitude toward brand. Fifth, functional congruity had a positive effect on repurchase intention. Sixth, brand trust had a positive effect on attitude toward brand. Seventh, brand trust had a positive effect on repurchase intention. Eighth, attitude toward brand had a positive effect on repurchase intention.BR Conclusion: The result shows that the brand image and consumer self-image congruence in the tennis racket affect the repurchase intention through the structural relationship with functional congruity, brand trust, and attitude toward brand.

Occupational and environmental asbestos exposure and the risk of lung cancer in Korea: A case-control study in South Chungcheong Province of Korea.

Despite the use of large amounts of asbestos in the 1990s, few studies have been conducted in Korea on occupational and environmental asbestos exposure and lung cancer risk. The main aim of this study was to estimate the risk of lung cancer development caused by occupational and environmental asbestos exposures in residents of South Chungcheong Province, where about half of the asbestos mines in Korea operated. We conducted a case-control study, for which the information on asbestos exposure history and demographic characteristics was provided by the Environmental Health Center for asbestos of Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital. After adjusting for all covariates, the odds ratios for lung cancer tended to increase with higher exposure probability for both occupational as well as environmental asbestos. The relative risk of occupational asbestos exposure was higher than that of environmental exposure; the interaction of co-exposure was not statistically significant. The estimated means of the latency period were significantly shorter in participants who were engaged in the production of asbestos-containing products and in those who lived near asbestos industries as compared to other groups.

High-resolution mapping of SO2 using airborne observations from the GeoTASO instrument during the KORUS-AQ field study: PCA-based vertical column retrievals

The Geostationary Trace gas and Aerosol Sensor Optimization (GeoTASO) instrument is an airborne hyperspectral spectrometer measuring backscattered solar radiation in the ultraviolet (290–400 nm) and visible (415–695 nm) wavelength regions. This paper presents high-resolution sulfur dioxide (SO2) maps over the Korean Peninsula, produced by SO2 retrievals from GeoTASO measurements during the Korea–United States Air Quality Field Study (KORUS-AQ) from May to June 2016. The highly sensitive GeoTASO instrument with a spatial resolution of ~250 m × 250 m can detect point emission sources of SO2 within its fields of view, even without merging multiple overlapping observations. To retrieve SO2 vertical columns from the GeoTASO measurements, we apply an algorithm based on principal component analysis (PCA), which is effective in suppressing noise and biases in SO2 retrievals. The retrievals successfully capture SO2 plumes and various point sources such as power plants, a petrochemical complex, and a steel mill, located in South Chungcheong Province, some of which are not detected by a ground-based in situ measurement network. Spatial distributions of SO2 from GeoTASO observations in source areas are consistent with those from the Stack Tele-Monitoring System reports and airborne in situ SO2 measurements. Comparisons of SO2 retrievals from GeoTASO and existing satellite sensors demonstrate the significance of high-resolution SO2 observations, by indicating that GeoTASO detects small SO2 emission sources that are not precisely resolved by single overpasses of satellites. To assess future geostationary SO2 observations having a higher spatial resolution, we upscale the GeoTASO SO2 retrievals to a spatial resolution of the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS). Since the upscaled GeoTASO retrievals also detect SO2 plumes clearly, we expect from GEMS to identify even small SO2 emission sources over Asia.

Study on the Consciousness of sex and the Attitudes of Homosexuality in students Majoring in Health Care

College students majoring in health care who will lead the future health community studied consciousness of sex, attitudes toward homosexuality and acceptance of homosexuality. From March 5 to 15, 2018, the program was conducted for students majoring in health education who are attending a four-year university located in South Chungcheong Province. First, the purpose and procedure of the study were described and agreed upon by students, and the results of the survey were analyzed using the SPSS statistics program. Research shows that sexual consciousness, attitudes toward homosexuality and acceptance of homosexuality differed a lot according to demographic characteristics. Correlations have shown that students who are open-minded about sex have a positive attitude toward homosexuality and have high acceptance of homosexuality. A proper education is needed based on the results of the study, as the values and behaviors of incorrect sex can lead to a lot of confusion and physical damage.

A study of risk factors for the possible cases of acute occupational pesticide poisoning of orchard farmers in some parts of south Chungcheong province.

BackgroundThe objective of the present study is to identify differences in the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning across Korean orchard farmers' farming characteristics and the risk factors that have an effect on acute occupational pesticide poisoning.MethodsFor 3 years (2014, 2015, and 2017), a questionnaire survey was conducted on 394 orchard farmers in some parts of south Chungcheong Province in relation to pesticide poisoning. 323 orchard farmers who responded to acute occupational pesticide poisoning were included for final analysis. With acute occupational pesticide poisoning as the dependent variable, a χ2 test and a multiple logistic regression analysis were conducted.ResultsThe results of the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning across farming characteristics showed that the group wearing 4 or more pesticide personal protective equipment (PPE) had a lower prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning than the group wearing 3 or less pesticide PPE (p < 0.05). Furthermore, an analysis by area of fruit farming revealed that the group with more than 12,000m2 in the area of fruit farming had a higher prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning (p < 0.05). Orchard farmers mainly use a speed sprayer to spray pesticides, and the speed sprayer can be categorized by presence of cabin. The analysis of the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning by speed sprayer's cabin existence found that existence of speed sprayer's cabin did not show a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning.ConclusionsThe present study analyzed the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning depending on the speed sprayer's cabin existence and found no significant difference. The fact that famers using the cabinless style speed sprayer shows a higher percentage in wearing PPE than those using the cabin style speed sprayer is suggested to elucidate the result. As the first study in Korea which examined the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning by speed sprayer's cabin existence, the present study proposes the expected effect that increase of wearing pesticide PPE along with employ of speed sprayer's cabin can reduce the prevalence of acute occupational pesticide poisoning among orchard farmers.

The Geopolitics of Ecological Art: Contemporary Art Projects in Japan and South Korea

The notion of ‘affinity with nature’ functions as a powerful political concept employed in the national identification of different cultural regions of East Asia including Japan and South Korea. Both countries have much in common. They share the myths of a ‘love of nature’ and a comparable history of post-war economic miracles followed by an ecological crisis and the subsequent development of environmentalism. They also host highly recognised contemporary art events guided by an environmentalist agenda: the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale (ETAT), established in the depopulated countryside of Niigata Prefecture in 2000 by the Art Front Gallery, a commercial gallery from Tokyo; and the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale, initiated by the Korean Nature Art Association (Yatoo), sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and first held in 2004 in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province. Guided by ecological thought, both art events aim to induce harmonious interaction between human and non-human realms, while questioning established modes of artistic interaction with ‘nature’ related to modern Western art discourses. Satoyama (lit. village mountain), an agricultural site based on harmonious human-nature interactions, the foundational concept of the ETAT, challenges the notion of gaze that defines the modern Western notion of landscape and its relationships with power. The ‘nature art’ practiced in Gongju, which involves simple interventions in the environment that are spontaneous and impermanent, questions the paradigms of Land Art. While responding to concrete environmental issues pertinent to the operation of social-ecological systems, the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale and the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale both attempt to create localised alternatives to dominant epistemologies associated with global (Western) art discourses. But the question is if these practices are capable of challenging the established geopolitics of ecological art and conventional hierarchies of power between the local and the global embodied by the institutional framework of the eco-art biennale.
