<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>We evaluated the reliability and validity of the Pediatric Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Childhood Brain Tumor Survivor Questionnaire (pedsFACT-BrS, Version 2). This was specifically directed to patients aged 13 years and older (adolescents). The pedsFACT-BrS was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Korean, following standard Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy methodology. The psychometric properties of the pedsFACT-BrS in adolescents were evaluated in 161 brain tumor (BT) patients (mean age=15.53 years). Pretesting was performed in 30 patients, and the results indicated good symptom coverage and overall comprehensibility. In validating the pedsFACT-BrS for adolescents, we found high internal consistency, with Cronbach's α coefficients ranging from 0.76 to 0.91. The pedsFACT-BrS for adolescents also demonstrated good convergent and divergent validities when correlated with the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Kovacs' Children's Depression Inventory. The pedsFACT-BrS for adolescents showed good clinical validity and effectively differentiated between clinically distinct patient groups according to Karnofsky score, type of treatment, and treatment on/off status. This reliable and valid instrument can now be used to properly evaluate the quality of life of Korean adolescent BT patients.</P>

신희정 ( Heejung Shin ) 사단법인 아시아문화학술원 2021 인문사회 21 Vol.12 No.4

본 연구에서는 민관협력의 대표 사례인 지역사회보장협의체의 운영과 성과에 대한 참여자들의 주관적 인식유형을 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지역사회보장협의체 관련 활동에 참여한 사람들의 FGI와 선행연구 탐색을 통해 Q 모집단을 설정하였다. 그리고 최종 27개의 Q 표본을 선정하고, 44명의 P 샘플에게 조사한 자료를 QUANL 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 4가지 인식유형으로 구분되었는데, 제1유형은 “민간의 적극적인 역량강화 지향형”, 제2유형은 “민관협력 체계에 대한 긍정적 인식형”, 제3유형은 “과도기적 민관협력 인식형”, 제4유형은 “전반적인 변혁 추구형”이다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 다양한 참여자들의 인식을 반영하여 실질적인 지역사회보장협의체 활성화를 위한 기초자료를 마련하였다. The purpose of this study was to explore the subjective perception types of participants on the operation and performance of the community security council, which is a representative case of public private cooperation. To this end, the Q population was established through the FGI of those who participated in the activities related to the community security council and the search for previous studies. And the final 27 Q samples were selected and the data surveyed on 44 P samples were analyzed using the QUANL program. As a result of the analysis, it was divided into 4 types of perception. Type 1 was “an active private capacity building orientation”, Type 2 was “a positive perception on the public private cooperation system”, Type 3 was “a transitional public private cooperation perception”, and Type 4 was “overall transformation seeking”. Based on these findings, the basic data was prepared for the activation of substantial community security council by reflecting the awareness of various participants.

밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질은 강우조건(강우량, 강우강도), 토양, 시비량, 경사도 등에 따라 다양한 형태로 나타난다. 따라서 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 효율적인 관리를 위해서는 영향인자에 대한 자세한 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 경사도가 다른 고랭지 밭 두 지점을 선정하여 비점오염물질 유출특성에 대해 파악하고 효율적인 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구지점은 강원도 평창군 대관령면에 위치하고 있으며 두 지점의 경사도는 각각 4.9%와 16.8%로 나타났다. 연구기간은 2011년 4월부터 10월까지 유출이 발생한 8회의 강우사상에 대해 모니터링을 수행하였다. 연구 결과 유출이 발생한 강우량의 범위는 42.0 ~ 293.5 mm이며 강우강도는 1.03 ~ 6.31mm/hr의 범위를 나타냈다. 유출률은 경사도 4.9%의 밭에서 0.05 ~ 0.54(평균 0.31)이며 경사도 16.8%의 밭에서는 0.26 ~ 0.57(평균 0.42)의 범위를 나타냈다. 또한 채취된 수질 시료를 이용하여 EMC를 산정한 결과 경사도 4.9%의 밭에서 SS 762.1 ~ 3,155.1(평균 1,956.8) mg/L, BOD5 4.5 ~ 14.9(평균 9.6) mg/L, CODCr 16.1 ~ 62.0(평균 42.6)mg/L, CODMn 7.5 ~ 43.2(평균 17.9) mg/L, TN 9.602 ~ 21.021(평균 15.8) mg/L, TP 2.544 ~ 6.763(평균 4.634) mg/L로 나타났으며, 경사도 16.8%의 밭에서는 SS 79.2 ~ 2,015.5(평균 938.5) mg/L, BOD5 6.0 ~ 64.7(평균 14.6) mg/L, CODCr 21.9 ~ 75.4(평균 53.2) mg/L, CODMn 4.3 ~ 33.1(평균 23.2) mg/L, TN 10.937 ~ 46.295(평균 24.9) mg/L, TP 2.611 ~ 11.197(평균 5.358) mg/L으로 나타났다. 두 지점의 유출률은 경사도와 비례하여 증가하였으며, SS를 제외한 모든 수질항목의 EMC 값도 증가한 것으로 나타났다. SS의 경우에는 경사도 16.8%의 밭이 4.9%의 밭에 비해 낮은 값으로 나타났는데 이는 등고선 방향으로 경운을 하여 토양 입자의 유실이 적었으며 16.8%의 밭에 설치되어 있는 자연배수로의 영향으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과와 같이 동일한 강우조건의 밭이라 할지라도 경사도에 따라 유출률에 차이를 보이게 되고 유출률의 차이는 비점오염물질의 농도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 효율적인 관리를 위해서는 장기적인 모니터링을 통해 영향인자에 대한 파악이 필수적이라 판단된다.

음용수 중 소독부산물 발생현황에 관한 연구

신동천,정용,최윤호,김준성,박연신,금희정,전희경 한국환경독성학회 2001 환경독성보건학회지 Vol.16 No.1

The main purpose of applying the chlorination process during water treatment is for disinfection. Research results, however, indicate that disinfection by-products including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles, haloketones, and chloropicrin can be produced by chlorination process. Some of these disinfection by-products are known to be potential human carcinogens. This three-year project is designed to establish a standard analysis procedure for disinfection by-products in drinking water and investigate the distribution and sources of specific disinfection by-products. The occurrence level of DBPs in drinking water was below 50㎍/L in most cases. THMs in plant effluent accounted for 48% of all DBPs measured, whereas HAAs accounted for 24%, HANs 14%, haloketones 5%, chloral hydrate 7%, and chloropicrin 2%. Chloroform was found to be the major THMs compound (71%), followed by bromodichloromethane (21%), dibromochloromethane(7%), and bromoform (3%). The concentration of DBPs formed in distribution systems increased from those detected in plant effluent. Results would play an important role in exposure assessment as a part of the risk assessment process, and would give basic information for establishment of disinfection byproducts reduction and management procedures.

The Impact of Legal Procedures on Hospital Length of Stay: Balancing Legal and Clinical Concerns

Shin, Jinah,San Gabriel, Maria Chona P,Ho-Periola, Agnes,Ramer, Sheryl,Kwon, Youngihn,Bang, Heejung 한국정신간호학회 2022 정신간호학회지 Vol.31 No.2

Purpose: Psychiatric hospital length of stay (LOS) is not affected solely by socio-clinical factors but also by legal procedures. This study examined the associations between legal procedures and LOS. Methods: Data from 521 patients with psychiatric illnesses hospitalized over 2013-2015 were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the predictors of longer (> 14 days) or prolonged (> 30) LOS with socio-clinical factors and legal procedures including court-ordered interventions (assisted outpatient treatment, medication over objection, and retention). Results: Longer LOS occurred in 246 patients and 99 had prolonged LOS. Legal procedures affected 57 patients, with 11 assisted outpatient treatments, 39 cases of medication over objection, and 16 retentions. Longer LOS was significantly associated with six factors including older age, unmarried status, non-Hispanic race, risk of violence, schizophrenia, and legal procedures. Legal procedures had the strongest association. Longer/prolonged LOS yielded qualitatively similar associations. Conclusion: Among 521 psychiatric inpatients, approximately 11% were mandated to receive interventions/procedures by the courts. Court-ordered legal procedures were strongly asso- ciated with longer LOS. Mental health providers may consider legal procedures for patients at high treatment/ medication noncompliance risk as early as patient admission to inpatient units to prevent, intervene or prepare for a longer or prolonged LOS.

Design of a mobile video streaming system using adaptive spatial resolution control

Heejung Lee,Yonghee Lee,Jonghun Lee,Dongeun Lee,Heonshik Shin IEEE 2009 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CONSUMER ELECTRONICS - Vol.55 No.3

<P>An efficient mobile video streaming system needs to cope with unstable network bandwidth and limited battery life. We propose a novel streaming system which jointly considers picture quality, bit-rate and energy consumption. Reducing the spatial resolution of a video stream adaptively proves to be more efficient in terms of picture quality and energy consumption than conventional rate control using only adjustment of quantization parameter. We apply the same scheme to scalable coding for large-scale mobile video streaming. This extends the adaptation of an SVC stream to lower bit-rates, while maintaining temporal stability. Our approach has been shown to improve picture quality by approximately 0.5 dB in low bit-rate conditions, and also reduces energy consumption by more than 50% compared to conventional video streaming.</P>

The Application of Theories in Research on Advance Care Planning (2010~2022): A Scoping Review

Shin, Jeongwon,Lim, Sujin,Kim, Hwain,Lee, Kyunghee,Jeon, Heejung 한국성인간호학회 2024 성인간호학회지 Vol.36 No.1

Purpose: This scoping review aimed to identify the current state of the application of theories in research related to advance care planning and to analyze the types and characteristics of the theories applied. Methods: Using the scoping review methodology presented by Arksey & OMalley, the articles published from 2010 to 2022 were searched by combining the terms advance care planning, theory, and model in five electronic databases; PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, KMBASE, and KISS. Results: Thirty-two studies were identified. Theory-based research has been actively conducted since 2019, with a total of 25 theories applied. Psychological theories were the most prevalent, accounting for 75.0% of the applications, followed by sociological theories (12.5%), public health theories (6.3%), and one nursing theory (3.1%). Theories were utilized to create a framework for data analysis, establish a philosophical underpinning, develop intervention frameworks, and derive new tools. Conclusion: Various theories have been applied to research on advance care planning, yet the application of nursing theory has been limited. To optimize end-of-life care and advance care planning from a nursing perspective, further research incorporating nursing theory is essential.

( Heejung Choi ),( Yoonjung Kim ),( Soo Min Kim ),( Junam Shin ),( Hye Ryoun Jang ),( Jung Eun Lee ),( Woo Seong Huh ),( Yoon Goo Kim ),( Ha Young Oh ),( Dae Joong Kim ) 대한신장학회 2012 Kidney Research and Clinical Practice Vol.31 No.2

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of contrastinduced nephropathy (CIN), and the effect of intravenous albumin for prophylaxis of CIN in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 81 subjects with LC and CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)o60 mL/min/1.73 m2) who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Patients received either isotonic sodium bicarbonate solution (3 mL/kg for 1 h before CT and 1 mL/kg/h for 6 h after CT) or albumin (20% albumin, 25 mL for 1 h before CT and 75 mL for 6 h after CT). CIN was defined as an increase of Z25% or Z0.5 mg/dL in serum creatinine level. Results: Overall, CIN developed in three patients (3.7%). Of the 81 subjects, 43 received sodium bicarbonate solution and 38 received albumin. Both groups were comparable with regard to age, sex, diabetes mellitus, and baseline eGFR. The albumin group showed a significantly poorer liver function profile. CIN incidence did not differ significantly between the groups: it occurred in one (2.3%) of the 43 subjects receiving sodium bicarbonate and two (5.3%) of the 38 subjects receiving albumin (P¼0.6). However, the albumin group showed a significantly smaller increase in body weight (P¼0.03). Conclusion: The incidence of CIN in patients with LC and CKD undergoing contrast-enhanced CT after preventive measures was relatively low. The incidence of CIN was not significantly different between sodium bicarbonate and albumin groups.
