일반적으로 XML 데이터는 트리 형태의 계층적인 구조를 가지고 있으며, XML 데이터의 저장 및 검색도 이러한 특성을 반영한다. 따라서 XML 데이터를 데이터베이스화 할 때에 XML 엘리먼트 간의 이러한 계층 관계를 반영하여 XML 데이터를 구조화하여 저장하고, 사용자의 검색을 지원하기 위해서는 질의에 명세 된 엘리먼트 구조 간의 계층 관계를 계산하여 처리하는 방법이 필요하다. 구조적 조인(structural joins) 연산은 이 문제의 한 해결책으로서 노드 번호 매기기 방식(node numbering scheme)에 기반한 XML 데이터베이스에 대하여 효율적인 계층 관계 연산 기법을 제시하고 있다. 하지만 계층 관계가 복잡하게 중첩되어 있는 트리 구조의 XML 질의를 처리하려면 여전히 다수의 구조적 조인을 수행해야 하기 때문에 질의 처리 비용이 많이 드는 또 다른 문제를 갖게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 선행 연구에서 제안된 트리 구조의 XML 질의 처리시에 필요한 다수의 중첩된 구조적 조인들의 수행비용을 효과적으로 줄이기 위한 사전 처리 방법으로서 동등 클래스 개념을 적용한 정규 표현식(regular expression)으로 된 경로 질의(path query)의 길이를 단축하는 경로식 단축 알고리즘을 소개하며 특히 분기 노드(branch node)가 포함된 경로식 단축 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘이 XML 경로식 질의 처리 시간을 평균적으로 1/3로 단축할 수 있음을 실험을 통해서 확인한다. XML data generally consists of a hierarchical tree-structure which is reflected in mechanisms to store and retrieve XML data. Therefore, when storing XML data in the database, the hierarchical relationships among the XML elements are taken into consideration during the restructuring and storing of the XML data. Also, in order to support the search queries from the user, a mechanism is needed to compute the hierarchical relationship between the element structures specified by the query. The structural join operation is one solution to this problem, and is an efficient computation method for hierarchical relationships in an in database based on the node numbering scheme. However, in order to process a tree structured XML query which contains a complex nested hierarchical relationship it still needs to carry out multiple structural joins and results in another problem of having a high query execution cost. Therefore, in this paper we provide a preprocessing mechanism for effectively reducing the cost of multiple nested structural joins by applying the concept of equivalence classes and suggest a query path reduction algorithm to shorten the path query which consists of a regular expression. The mechanism is especially devised to reduce path queries containing branch nodes. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the time requited for processing the path queries to 1/3 of the original execution time.

이민수,김용구,곽동일,Lee, Min Soo,Kim, Yong-Ku,Kwak, Dong-Il 대한생물정신의학회 1997 생물정신의학 Vol.4 No.2

2,3-benzodiazepine계 항불안제인 tofisopam의 항불안 효과 및 안전성을 조사하기 위해 단일맹검 비교연구를 시행하였다. 외래로 내원한 불안 장애 환자 40명을 대상으로 무작위로 tofisopam군과 lorazepam군으로 할당하였으며, 최종 연구를 완결한 환자는 tofisopam군 17명(남자 7명, 여자 10명), lorazepam군은 15명(남자 6명, 여자 9명)이었다. 초기용량으로 tofisopam군은 50mg을 하루 3회 복용하고, lorazepam군은 0.75mg을 하루 2회 복용하도록 하였으며, 임상상태와 부작용에 따라 용량을 임의로 증감하도록 하였고, 일일 최대 용량은 tofisopam군 300mg, lorazepam군 3mg으로 하였다. 임상상태에 대한 평가는 Hamilton rating scale for anxiety(HAM-A)와 Clinical global impression(CGI)으로 하였으며, 약물 투여전과 투여 1주후, 2주후, 4주후에 측정되었다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) HAM-A 총점수의 경우, 약물 치료군과 시점을 변인으로 한 two-way repeated-measure ANOVA에서 양군간에 시점에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. HAM-A 심리적 불안과 신체적 불안아척도 점수에서 양군간 시점에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 각 군에서 HAM-A 총점수의 시점에 따른 유의한 변화를 나타내었으며, 양군 모두 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. 2) CGI의 질병의 전반적인 심각도에서 약물 치료군과 시점을 변인으로 한 two-way repeated-measure ANOVA에서 양군간에 시점에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 각 군에서 CGI 심각도의 시점에 따른 유의한 변화를 나타내었으며, tofisopam군은 1주후부터 lorazepam군은 4주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. CGI 호전도에선 각 시점에서"minimally improved"이상을 보인 환자군이 tofisopam군이 94.1%로서 lorazepam군 66.7% 보다 높았다. 3) 안전성 분석에서 각 군에서 생명징후, 혈액학, 생화학, 심전도, 체중에서 유의한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 4) 부작용 면에서 tofisopam군이 lorazepam군보다 각 시점에서 부작용을 호소한 환자수가 적었다. 이상에서 tofisopam은 lorazepam과 유사한 항불안효과를 보였으며, 내약성은 lorazepam에 비해 우수하였다. Objective : A 4-week, single-blind, parallel group study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofisopam and lorazepam in 32 outpatients with anxiety disorder. Methods : Patients were randomized to receive either tofisopam(N=17) or lorazepam(N=15). The starting dose of tofisopam was 50mg t.i.d. daily, which could be increased to a maximum of 100mg t.i.d. according to the patient's clinical response and side effect. The starting dose of lorazepam was 0.75mg b.i.d. daily, which could be increased to a maximum of 1.5mg b.i.d. depending on the patient's clinical response and side effect. Efficacy evaluations at baseline, week 1, 2, and 4 used the 14-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety(HAM-A) and Clinical Global Impression(CGI). Tolerability was assessed by response to a nonleading question concerning adverse events. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values were measured during trial. Results : No significant differences between HAM-A total scores, two HAM-A factors(psychic, somatic) and CGI severity scores were recorded at any point during tofisopam and lorazepam treatments. However, in each group there was a significant decrease in HAM-A total scores, two HAM-A factor s(psychic, somatic), CGI severity scores over time. The pecentages of patients with tofisopam who at least minimally improved increased from 64.7% at week 1 to 94.1% at week 4. The pecentages of patients with lorazepam who at least minimally improved increased from 40.0% at week 1 to 66.7% at week 4. The pecentages of patients with tofisopam who had not any adverse event increased from 58.8% at week 1 to 87.9% at week 4. The pecentages of patients with lorazepam who had not any adverse event were not changed from 46.7% at week 1 to 46.7% at week 4. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial in both groups. Conclusion : These data suggest that tofisopam may be effective in reducing anxiety and is a anti-anxiety drug of identical potency with lorazepam. Tolerability of tofisopam was superior to lorazepam. These findings should be confirmed by using double-blind crossover study with a large member of patients.

이민수,김성환,정회인,LEE, MINSOO,KIM, SEONGHWAN,JUNG, HOEIN 한국해양학회 2019 바다 Vol.24 No.1

본 조사는 국가해양생태계종합조사의 일부로 2017년 5월부터 2018년 8월까지 이루어졌으며, 우리나라 전체 해안에 설정된 157개 정점을 중심으로 조간대 및 해안사구와 사빈지역에서 수행하였다. 조사결과 염생식물은 총 72종이 확인되었으며 분포 면적은 총 $1,813,546m^2$이었다. 서해안 권역에서는 칠면초 군락이 우점 군락이며, 남해안 권역에서는 갈대 군락이 우점 군락이고, 동해안 권역에서는 통보리사초 군락이 우점 군락이었다. 조사지역 전체로는 갈대 군락이 $1,136,643m^2$ (62.7%)으로 가장 넓었다. 상위 11개 우점 식물 군락은 갈대 군락, 칠면초 군락, 해홍나물 군락, 갯잔디 군락, 통보리사초 군락, 갯그령 군락, 기수초 군락, 모새달 군락, 지채 군락, 좀보리사초 군락, 천일사초 군락이며, 특히 갈대 군락과 칠면초 군락은 전체 면적의 75.9%를 차지하여 압도적이었다. 우리나라 해안의 염생식물 분포는 대부분 기후 차이보다는 서식처의 형태가 염생식물의 서식 형태를 결정짓는 주요한 요인인 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 같은 권역 내에서도 서식처의 다양성 정도에 띠라 염생식물의 출현종과 서식범위 등에서 차이를 보였다. This survey was conducted from May 2017 to August 2018 as part of the National Marine Ecosystem Surveys sponsored by MOF (Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries) and KOEM (Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation). The survey was conducted at 157 stations including intertidal zones, coastal sand dunes and beaches. A total of 72 species of halophytes were identified and the total vegetated area was $1,813,546m^2$ in coastal waters of Korea. In the west coast region, Suaeda japonica was the dominant species, Phragmites communis in the southern coast, and Carex kobomugi in the east coast. Phragmites communis was the most dominant with $1,136,643m^2$ (62.7%) in the whole surveyed area. The top 11 dominant plants are Phragmites communis, Suaeda japonica, Suaeda maritima, Zoysia sinica, Carex kobomugi, Elymus mollis, Suaeda malacosperma, Phacelurus latifolius, Triglochin maritimum, Carex pumila and Carex scabrifolia, and Phragmites communis and Suaeda japonica accounted for 75.9% of the total vegetated area. The distribution of halophyte on the coast of Korea was determined by the habitat types rather than the climate ranges, and there was a difference in the species diversity and habitat range of the halophyte depending on the habitat diversities within the same area.

이민수,김표한,Lee, Min-Soo,Kim, Pyo-Han 대한생물정신의학회 1995 생물정신의학 Vol.2 No.2

1) Paroxetine이 5-HT흡수에 가장 강력하고, 선택적이었으며, 그 다음이 fluvoxamine, sertraline, fluoxetine순이었고, sertraline은 다른 SSRIs와는 달리 NE보다 DA억제작용이 더 강했다. 2) Paroxetine이 muscarinic cholinergic 수용체에 대한 친화력이 다소 높았을 뿐, 전반적으로 SSRIs는 histamine $H_1$과 ${\alpha}_1$에 대한 친화력은 약했다. 3) Paroxetine은 ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor와 cyclic AMP에 영향을 미치지 않는 반면, sertraline은 ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor와 cyclic AMP의 감소를 가져왔다. 4) SSRIs의 생체이용율은 대략 50%이었으며, 투약후 2~8시간 사이에 최고혈중농도에 도달하였으며, 특히 sertraline은 음식물과 같이 복용시 혈장의 concentration time curve와 최고 농도를 증가시켰다. 5) Sertraline은 혈중농도가 용량에 비례하였으며, 모든 SSRIs는 비교적 큰 용량분포를 보이고, 높은 비율로 혈장 단백질과 결합되어 있었다. 6) Fluoxetine 대사물의 5-HT 억제 작용이 제일 강했다. 그러나 paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline 대사물은 강도는 서로 다르지만 간의 isoenzyme IID6를 억제하며, 그 중에서 paroxetine의 억제작용이 제일 강력하다. 7) Sertraline은 TCAs나 haloperidol과 병합사용시 TCAs나 haloperidol의 혈중농도의 유의한 변화가 없었으며, MAOI A형인 moclobemide와 비교적 안전하게 병용 치료할 수 있다. 8) SSRIs는 TCAs와 비교해볼 때 치료효과는 유사하였으나 fluvoxamine은 자살사고에, paroxetine은 우울중에서 나타나는 불안과 운동성 초조증에 효과적이다. 9) 급성 우울증 삽화시 현저한 효과를 보인 후 적어도 4개월 이상의 유지치료기간이 필요하다. 10) SSRIs는 위장관계통의 부작용이 가장 많았고, 부작용은 일반적으로 분복한 경우가 적었다. In comparison with tricyclic antidepressants(TCAs), one of the most interesting characteristics of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRIs) is its structural differences, reveals different pharmacological properties. The applications at the moment are most effective in clinical applications to depression. The limited result of the research to date on the various applications of SSRIs has not revealed the total potential and applicability of SSRIs. Therefore, attending physicians utilizing SSRIs do not know the full capabilities of the drug on patients and what the patients may reap in terms of benefit from its curing elements. Physicians must first try to understand the full potential of SSRIs and its potential applications for it to be effective on patients. recently, it has been determined that SSRIs and other drugs when administered together may be more effective in the healing process because SSRIs complements and aids in the enhancement and effect of the other drugs. This article is written to give attention to the reader of the pharmacological properties and the clinical use of SSRIs. It is the authors's hope that continuous research on the particular aspects of SSRIs can aid the clinicians in the use of this SSRIs.

이민수,남종원,유승호,차지현,김용구,Lee, Min Soo,Nam, Jong Won,Ryu, Seung Ho,Cha, Ji Hyun,Kim, Yong Ku 대한생물정신의학회 1999 생물정신의학 Vol.6 No.1

Background : Since dysthymia begins in late childhood or adolescence and has a chronic course, long-term pharmacotherapy may be required. New generation antidepressant, moclobemide, with more acceptable side effect profiles, is effective in the treatment of dysthymia. The main objective of this study was to determine whether they exhibit comparable efficacy and tolerability in dysthymia to amitriptyline. Method and Materials : The efficacy and tolerability of the moclobemide and amitriptyline, were compared in a eight-week single-centre double-blind study in patients(n=37) with dysthymia using he HAMD-17, the Clinical Global Impression Scale(CGI), the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Efficacy Index-Therapeutic Index(EITE), 4-point Index Side Effect Scale(4-PISES), and Efficacy Index- Side Effect Scale(EISE). Results : A total of 37 patients entered the study, 19 were randomly assigned to the moclobemide group and 18 to be amitriptyline group. Demo-graphic and illness characteristics were similar in both groups. There were no significant difference between two groups at the total 17-HDRS score, the HAMD-17% improvement, the total MADRS score, CGI response, and the EITE. In the comparison of EISE between two groups, the scores of the moclobemide group were relatively lower than the amitriptylinen group in full treatment. And the differences were significant(moclobemide group $1.39{\pm}0.61$ ; amitriptyline group $2.00{\pm}0.85$, p<.001). At the 4-PISE, There was no serious or treatment threatening side effects. And there was no specific difference in side effects between two groups. The moclobemide group reported higher EIR scores than the amitriptyline group at every follow up day, but the differences were not significant. And, there was no significant differences in the scores of five HRQOL subcategories which is compared between two groups at every follow up days. Conclusions : In terms of 17-HDRS and MADRS, moclobemide and amitriptyline are equally effective at least in allevating dysthymic symptoms. But moclobemide tended to be less troubling and better tolerated than amitriptyline. Therefore, moclobemide treatment can be used as a safe, and higher satisfactory treatment strategy for the dysthymia.

The purpose of this study is to identify professional development needs of Extension professionals and to evaluate competencies essential to be a successful Extension professional. For the purpose of this study, quantitative capacity data of extension professionals were collected from the survey instrument based on Extension Professional Evaluation Scale in Utah state university. Descriptive statistics, mean difference analysis, IPA(importance-performance analysis) analysis were used to analyze the data. The main results of the study are as follows. First, it is necessary to first reinforce education on specialized technical capacity among the three extension capacity areas. The current status of the professional capacity of extension professionals in the three areas was found to be at the average level, and the level of professional technical capacity was relatively low. In addition, the importance was evaluated that professional technology capacity is more important than the project development/evaluation capacity and communication capacity. Second, Second, in order to reinforce communication capacity, it is necessary to strengthen education on 'development of joint educational materials with colleagues'. Third, in order to reinforce project development/evaluation capacity, it is necessary to strengthen education on 'project planning'. In the IPA analysis results, the importance was high, but the capacity with relatively low performance were analyzed as 'project planning'. Fourth, in order to reinforce professional technical capacity, it is necessary to develop an education program for 'crop expertise' first. In the IPA analysis results, the importance was high, but the competencies with relatively low performance were analyzed as 'crop technology expertise'.

이민수,홍진표,윤세창,노재성,Kwang Hun Lee,Jung Ki Kim,Sang Yeol Lee,Pritibha Singh,Tamas Treuer,Victoria Reed,Joel Raskin,Sun Young Yum 대한신경정신의학회 2009 PSYCHIATRY INVESTIGATION Vol.6 No.4

Objective: This paper aims to examine the association between painful physical symptoms (PPS) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in a naturalistic clinical practice setting within a Korean population. Methods: Patients with acute MDD that joined a multicountry, observational, three-month study in six Asian countries and regions were classified as PPS+ (mean score ≥2) and PPS-(mean score <2) using the modified Somatic Symptom Inventory. In this analysis, we report the results from the Korean subset, where depression severity was assessed using the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) scale and 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD17). Pain severity was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS), while the EuroQoL (EQ-5D) assessed patient well-being. Results: Of 198 patients, 45.96% (91/198) of patients were classified as PPS+, of which 78.02% (71/91) were women. PPS+ patients had significantly more severe depression at baseline {CGI-S score, mean [standard deviation (SD)], PPS+: 5.09 [0.79]; PPS-: 4.63 [0.76]; p<0.001; HAMD17 total score, mean [SD], PPS+: 24.34 [5.24]; PPS-: 20.76 [5.12]; p<0.001} and poorer quality of life [EQ-5D overall health state, mean (SD), PPS+: 39.37 (20.52); PPS-: 51.27 [20.78]; p<0.001] than PPS- patients. Both groups improved significantly (p<0.001) in depression and pain severity outcomes, as well as quality of life by endpoint, but no significant within-group baseline-to-endpoint change wase observed. Conclusion: The frequency of PPS was common in Korean patients with MDD, and was associated with more severe depression, poorer quality of life, and a trend towards poorer clinical outcome.

This study aimed to compare and analyze librarian teacher evaluation index from evaluation of teachers' competency development with the the topics of information utilization education. To this end, LDA topic modeling was conducted by collecting papers related to information utilization education published in four major journals in the field of literature and information from 1995 to May 2022. As a result of topic modeling, it can be seen that information utilization education (T10) was the most actively discussed at 12.0% of the 20 topics, followed by library utilization classes (T2) 10.4% and user service (T3) 8.8%.On the other hand, 3.3% of reading discussion (T7), 2.9% of reading education (T19), 2.1% of manpower management (T13), and 2.1% of librarian teacher job satisfaction (T17) showed the lowest distributions 3.3%, 2.9%, 2.1%, and 2.1%, respectively. In addition, although librarian teacher's class model development (T1) and curriculum development (T20) are essential processes for collaborative classes and information utilization education, they were not reflected in the current teacher competency development evaluation index. Therefore, this study proposed that 'instructional model and curriculum development' indicator should be added on 'training and support classes' factors in the Librarian Teacher Evaluation Index in Teachers' Competency Development Evaluation for further evaluation.

Clozapine이 불응성 정신분열증 환자의 혈장 단가아민에 미치는 영향

이민수,김승현,유승호,Lee, Min Soo,Kim, Seung Hyun,Ryu, Seung Ho 대한생물정신의학회 1996 생물정신의학 Vol.3 No.2

It has been known that clozapine is more selective mesolimbic dopamin $D_2$ receptor antagonist and related to 5-HT receptor. In this study, we wxamined the plasma homovanillic acid(HVA), serotonin(5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5-HIM) levels in refractory schizophrenics during clozapine treatment. And we assessed the effects of clozapine on these plasma monoamine metabolites and their association with psychopathology and treatment response. Eight refractory schizophrenic patients(DSM-IV) have entered the study for 3 months during clozapine treatment. Patients were admitted to the inpatient sevice and withdrawn from all neuroleptics for 7-14 days but exceptionally occasional doses of lorazepam was given if needed for behavioral control. The dose of clozapine was titrated as tolerated to 800mg/day. The plasma HVA. 5-HIM and 5-HT levels were measured before treatment and following 2nd week, 4th week, 8th week, and 12th during treatment. Psychopathology was assessed with Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Positive and Negative Synrome Scale(PANSS) before and during clozapine treatment. During clozapine treatment, no statistically significant changes were found in plasma HVA, 5-HIM, 5-HT levels, and HVA/5-HIM ratio between baseline and following 2nd week, 4th week, 8th week, 12th week. However, the change in plasma 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio from baseline to 4th week was statistically significant. Generally, changes of plasma HVA, 5-HIAA, 5-HT levels and HVA/5-HIAA ratio were not associated with psychopathology but 5-HIAA was associated with in positive symptoms and general psychopathology of PANSS. These results suggest that clozapine has been found to have relatively weak dopaminergic blokade and stronger serotonergic antagonism.

XQuery에서의 XML 데이터 특성을 고려한 group by 지원을 위한 질의 표현 기법에 대한 연구

이민수,조혜영,오정선,김윤미,송수경,Lee Min-Soo,Cho Hye-Young,Oh Jung-Sun,Kim Yun-Mi,Song Soo-Kyung 한국정보처리학회 2006 정보처리학회논문지D Vol.13 No.4

현재 널리 채택되고 있는 XML은 플랫폼에 의존하지 않는 데이터 표현 형식으로 B2B 응용 프로그램이나 워크플로우 상황에서처럼 느슨하게 연결된(loosely coupled) 이기종 시스템 간에 정보를 교환하는 데 매우 유용하게 사용되고 있다. XML의 이러한 장점 때문에 점차 증가하는 XML에 대한 관리 및 검색에 대한 요구 사항에 대처할 수 있도록 강력한 질의 언어인 XQuery가 만들어졌다. 문서의 검색을 위한 질의 언어인 XQuery는 다양한 데이터 소스로부터 가져온 XML 데이터를 고유한 구조를 가진 질의 결과로 구성할 수 있도록 설계되었으며 현재 XML 질의 언어의 표준이다. XQuery는 반복문 등을 포함하는 강력한 검색 기능을 지원하나 데이터를 그룹화 하는 경우에는 질의 표현이 상대적으로 어렵고, 복잡한 형태를 취한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 XQuery에 그룹화 처리를 위한 명시적인 groupby절을 도입한 질의 표현 기법을 모색함으로써 XML 데이터의 재구성과 집계 함수 처리를 위한 그룹화를 보다 효율적으로 처리할 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 위해서 XQuery에 groupby절을 도입하기 위한 EBNF(Extended Backus-Naur Form)를 제안하고, 네이티브 XML 데이터베이스인 eXist 기반의 XQuery 그룹화 질의 처리 시스템을 구현하였다. XML is the most popular platform-independent data expression which is used to communicate between loosely coupled heterogeneous systems such as B2B Applications or Workflow systems. The powerful query language XQuery has been developed to support diverse needs for querying XML documents. XQuery is designed to configure results from diverse data sources into a uniquely structured query result. Therefore, it became the standard for the XML query language. Although the latest XQuery supports heavy search functions including iterations, the grouping mechanism for data is too primitive and makes the query expression difficult and complex. Therefore, this work is focused on supporting the groupby clause in the query expression to process XQuery grouping. We suggest it to be a more efficient way to process grouping for restructuring and aggregation functions on XML data. We propose an XQuery EBNF that includes the groupby clause and implemented an XQuery processing system with grouping functions based on the eXist Native XML Database.
