Kang,Minyeong(Minyeong Kang),Kim,Eun Young(Eun Young Kim),Chang,Sung Ok(Sung Ok Chang) 한국노인간호학회 2022 노인간호학회지 Vol.24 No.4

Purpose: This is an analysis of the experiences of nurses in Post Anesthesia Care Units (PACUs) in caring for older patients with emergence delirium using the Q-methodology. Methods: The Q-methodology, which is used to explore and understand human subjectivity, was applied. Thirty nurses who had experiences in providing nursing for delirium in older patients after surgery in a PACU participated in this study. Results: This study revealed three factors regarding the frame of reference of PACU nurses in detecting and managing older patients' emergence delirium: “detect the deviant changes leading to instability”, “focus on the patient’s degree of cognitive recovery within the framework of recovery time”, and “awareness of possible clues based on the patient’s underlying disease(s)”. Conclusion: These findings are expected to be utilized as a basis for more practical and accessible PACU nurse delirium education that reflects nurses’ subjective viewpoints explained by the three identified factors.

본 연구는 후두적출자의 주된 발성방법과 후두적출 경과 시기에 따른 의사소통 태도를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구의 대상은 성인 남자 55명으로 후두암으로 인한 후두적출자들로 구성되었다. 이들에게 실시한 의사소통 태도 설문지는 Erickson의 의사소통 태도 척도-수정판(Modified Erickson Scale of Communication Attitudes: S-24)을 본 연구에 맞게 수정 보완하여 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 첫째, 주된 발성방법에 따라서는 인공후두기 사용자와 식도발성자간의 의사소통 태도에 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 후두적출 경과 시기에 따라 10년 초과된 후두적출자들과 10년 이하의 후두 적출자들 간의 의사소통 태도에 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 이들의 의사소통 태도의 긍정적 태도를 증가시키기 위하여 다양한 방법을 활용하고 습득하여 이들의 의사소통 능력을 빠르게 재습득 하여 긍정적인 의사소통 능력을 가질 수 있도록 해야 한다. The purpose of this study was to determine laryngectomee's communication attitude. 55 laryngectomees, who were in the range of 40 years old to 80 years old participated in the study. Communication attitude measurements were taken by S-24(Modified Erickson Scale of Communication Attitudes). The results showed as follows: First, score of laryngectomees with artificial larynx and esophageal speakers were no significant. Second, score of laryngectomees with over 10 years after latyngectomy and 10 years after latyngectomy were no significant.

Investigation of the April 2000 forest fire damage in Kang-won Province, Korea, using RADARSAT data

Kang, Sung Chul,Seo, Jin Won,Lee, Tae Hee,Park, Sang Eun,Hong, Suk Young,Moon, Wooil M. 대한원격탐사학회 2000 International Symposium on Remote Sensing Vol.16 No.1

The series of forest Fires in Kangwon Province in April, 2000, were one of the mast serious ones in the Kang-won Province in recent years. The fire damaged areas are extensive and this paper investigates the utility of the satellite image data, particularly the RADARSAT SAR data. One of the main objectives of this study included evaluation of potential usefulness of the C-band RADARSAT data in the detection of forest fires in mountainous areas. Among several fire damaged sites, the area near Samchuk (city) was selected as the main study area and mufti-temporal RADARSAT(raw) data were acquired and the processed results were comparatively investigated with the IRS-1c data acquired shortly after the fire. To identify the burnt area from the undamaged background in the optical imagery, supervised classification and NDVI processing were carried out and tested with the IRS-1C data. For this experiment, several sets of raw RADARSAT standard and Fine mode (S4, F3, ascending orbit) data were processed and the final image was formed. In addition to the final image, sigma nought (σ°) was catnputed and compared for the burnt area against the undamaged areas. Because of the steep slopes in the study area and subsequent deviation from the flat surface scattering models, the fire scars in the sigma nought (σ°) image were not apparent. However, fire scars are slightly detected in the difference and ratio images obtained from the signal intensity data acquired at different dates (bath before and after fire). Texture analysis of the image data including the burnt areas were carried out using the Multiplicative Markov Random-Field (MMRF) algorithm. The detection of the fire damaged area from both standard mode and fine mode RADARSAT was not as straightforward as in optical data. However, Previous studies with ERS-1 S_AR and RADARSAT data in Indonesia and in the North American Plains indicate that C-band SAR data provide us with an effective tool for studying the forest fire damages. However, the application of C-band SAR data to the analysis of the forest fire areas requires careful processing of the data with realistic scattering models.

Purpose : This study was aimed to compare skin entrance dose of digital radiography with that of film radiography and to show the dose reduction achievement with digital systems at 11 dental schools in Korea. Materials and Methods : Forty six intraoral radiographic systems in 11 dental schools were included in this study. Digital sensors were used in 33 systems and film was used in 13 systems. Researchers and the volunteer visited 11 dental schools in Korea. Researchers asked the radiologic technician (s) at each school to set the exposure parameters and aiming the x-ray tube for the periapical view of the mandibular molar of the volunteer. The skin entrance doses were measured at the same exposure parameters and distance by the technician for each system with a dosimeter (Multi-O-Meter : Unfors instruments, Billdal, Sweden). Results : The median dose was 491.2 μGy for digital radiography and 1,205.0 μGy for film radiography. The skin entrance dose digital radiography was significantly lower than that of film radiography (p<0.05). Conclusion : Fifty-nine percent skin entrance dose reduction with digital periapical radiography was achieved over the film radiography in Korean dental schools.

김주은(Kim Ju-Eun),강호영(Kang Ho-Young) 한국국제회계학회 2017 국제회계연구 Vol.0 No.74

본 연구는 2016년 CSR 200대 선정기업을 대상으로 재무비율의 특징(상장기업과의 평균비교 및 업종별 비교)과 선정 전후의 재무비율의 변동을 분석하여 기업의 사회적 책임강화가 재무성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 성과변화의 지속성을 살펴보았다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, CSR 선정기업의 규모는 전체 상장기업 평균의 46%에 불과하지만 안정성과 매출액 성장률, 수익성과 기업가치 면에서 상장기업의 평균보다 높은 결과를 보여주었다. 둘째, CSR 선정기준연도 전후의 재무비율을 살펴본 결과, 선정직전연도와 기준연도의 재무비율의 차이는 유의하지는 않았지만, 안정성지표와 수익성 지표 모두 기준연도의 성과가 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 성장성 지표의 유형자산증가율과 배당률, 활동성 지표의 순운전자본회전율과 시장가치인 EPS, BPS, PBR, EVA 역시 유의하지 않지만 직전연도에 비해 선정기준연도의 성과가 높은 것으로 분석되었으며, Tobin’Q는 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었다. 선정직전연도와 선정직후연도의 분석결과에서는 안정성, 성장성, 활동성에서의 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 안정성 지표의 경우, 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만 직전보다 직후의 성과가 우수하였으며, 성장성의 경우 해당지표들의 성과가 선정직전연도에 비해 모두 소폭 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 활동성 지표는 매출채권회전율, 매입채무회전율, 순운전자본회전율에서 유의하지 않지만 상승한 결과를 보여 CSR 선정 후 자금유동성과 관련한 활동성 부분에서 성과향상을 보여주었다. 수익성에서는 ROS가 유의하게 높은 값을 보였으며, 기업가치인 Tobin’Q는 기준연도의 성과에 비해 소폭 하락하였으나 직전연도보다는 향상된 결과로 나타났다. 셋째, 추가분석으로서 CSR 선정기업의 업종별 재무비율의 차이와 리더 및 경쟁기업의 비교결과, 비제조업은 활동성에서, 제조업은 매출액영업이익률과 ROS에서 유의하게 높은 성과를 보였으며, 주가 및 기업 가치를 포함한 시장가치 지표는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. CSR 리더 기업은 부채비율이 경쟁기업의 85%, 자기자본 현금흐름률은 1.37배 높았으며, 배당 역시 전체 상장기업의 평균수준을 보이는 경쟁기업과는 달리 2.5%의 배당률을 보여주었다. 특히 수익성에서는 조사된 모든 지표가 경쟁기업의 1.3배에서 2.2배까지 높은 성과를 보였으며, 시장가치에서는 PBR과 Tobin’Q가 상대적으로 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 리더 기업들은 수익성을 비롯하여 현금유동성과 배당률 및 기업 가치에서 우수한 성과를 보여주고 있어 CSR 총점(KEJI 지수)은 투자자들의 투자기준으로서 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다. This study analyzes the changes in the financial ratios (by listed companies and industry) and the financial ratios before and after the selection of the 200 CSR companies selected in 2016. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the 2016 CSR-selected companies are based on 2015 performance. The size of CSR selected companies is only 46% of the average of listed companies, but it is higher than the average of listed companies in terms of stability, sales growth rate, profitability and enterprise value. Second, after the CSR selection standard year, the stability and indices of profitability were both high in the base year. The net operating capital turnover and market value of EPS, BPS, PBR and EVA of the growth rate of tangible assets, dividend rate, and activity indicators are also insignificant, but the performance of the selected year is higher than previous year. Tobin"Q Respectively. There were no significant differences in the stability, growth, and activity of the year before and after the selection. In stability, there was no significant difference but the performance immediately after the previous period was excellent. In growth, the performance of the indicators decreased slightly compared to the year before. In activity, the results show that the performance of the activity related to the liquidity of funds after the CSR selection is improved, though it is not significant in the turnover of accounts receivable turnover, turnover of debt and net working capital turnover rate. ROS was significantly higher in profitability, and Tobin"Q decreased slightly compared to the baseline year, but slightly improved than the previous year. Third, as a further analysis, the difference in the financial ratios of the CSR 200 companies and the comparison of the leader and the competitors showed that the non-manufacturing industry showed a significant performance in sales, the manufacturing industry had a significantly higher sales margin and ROS performance, There is no significant difference in the market value indicator.

Seong Soo Kang1*, Se Eun Kim, Ara Go, Kyung Mi Shim, Chun Sik Bae, Chang Jong Moon, Sung-Ho Kim, Jong-Choon Kim, Jin-Cheol Yoo, Seung Sik Cho 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2012 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.13 No.3

Probiotics, enzymes, organic acids, oligosaccharides, antioxidants, and other functional materials are actively being explored as alternatives to antibiotics. Probiotics include live beneficial microorganisms that colonize the intestinal tract and competitively inhibit attachment and growth of harmful microbes. Probiotics also increase feed efficiency by assisting in nutrient absorption and digestion. The current study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of a new probiotic, CS-A, as a dietary supplement of a fermented product on growth performance, feed intake, and feed conversion efficiency in broiler chickens, and to evaluate its value as an alternative for antibiotics used as a feed additive. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of CS-A were investigated in vitro and the in vivo effects of a constant concentration of supplemented CS-A on growth rate and feed efficiency were evaluated. In addition, the safety of CS-A was assessed by examination of common symptoms and mortality. Determination of minimal inhibitory concentration revealed an excellent antibacterial effect of CS-A. Cytotoxicity was low and anti-inflammatory effects were achieved at the effective concentration of CS-A. Supplementation with 0.1% CS-A resulted in a feed efficiency score of 1.84 in broilers, compared to 2.00 in the control group. There were no adverse clinical findings, necropsy findings, hematology, and altered serum biochemistry parameters, and no mortality. Thus, it is concluded that CS-A is safe and effective as a feed additive.

임현수(Lin, Hyun-Soo),강은석(Kang, Eun-Suk) 한국체육과학회 2011 한국체육과학회지 Vol.20 No.5

This study is to follow the studies, which were conducted in Moon island between July and October in 2010. The previous studies, which were conducted by Lim, Hyun-soo and Kang Eun-suk in 2010, studied the current status of education of divers by classifying it into five subjects such as diving science, diving equipment, diving safety, underwater environment, and diving activities through FGI of expert groups. Being aware of the lack of materials about the observation of non-fulfillment of education on diving equipment and underwater environment and interviews, we made visits to the spots where the previous studies were conducted between July 28 and August 2nd to newly add up materials on interviews and questionnaires and analysed the cause and problems of the educational non-fulfillment about diving equipment and underwater environment. The educational non-fulfillment about diving equipment resulted in inappropriate management of equipment and loss of equipment, immature assembly of equipment of equipment, the loss of waist belts, and diving knife"s inappropriate use. The educational non-fulfillment about underwater environment brought about the damage of underwater environment, panic by underwater environment, conflicts with fishing villages, and the problems of trash-littering and defecation.

주민자치센터 평가와 지역공동체구축에 관한 연구 : 군포시 사례를 중심으로

강은숙 서울대학교 행정대학원 2003 行政論叢 Vol.41 No.2

현재 주민자치센터는 지역주민들이 상호교류하고 생활정보를 획득하며 여가선용을 위한 문화생활공간으로서의 역할을 수행하고 있다. 이를 통해 주민자치센터는 지역주민의 자치력을 향상시킴으로써 궁극적으로 지역공동체를 형성할 수 있는 제도적 장치라고 할 수 있다. 이 논문은 1999년 시범실시지역으로 출범하여 시행 5년째를 맞이하고 있는 군포시의 주민자치센터를 사례로 선정하여 부문별 지표-주민참여 13개 지표, 지역사회연대 10개 지표, 자체센터운영 10개 지표-를 가지고 평가한 다음, 지역공동체 형성에 기여할 수 있는 모범사례들을 추출하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 모범사례들은 (1)저소득 노년층을 위한 주민근접행정을 실천하고, (2)지역사회 내의 인적·물적 자원을 활용하여 지역문제를 해결하며, (3)지역 축제를 통해 지역정체성을 구축하고, (4)시민의식과 민주시민교육의 학습장으로서의 역할을 수행하는 것으로 정리할 수 있다. 그러나 모범사례들의 활동수준을 보면 지역사회 내 극소수 주민들의 참여로 이루어지고 있기 때문에 전반적인 주민의 참여를 이끌어내기에는 상당한 한계를 가지고 있는 것 또한 사실이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지금까지의 성과를 토대로 하여 지역사회 내에서 주민들의 자치능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 시민교육과 관련된 다양한 프로그램이 개발되고 그러한 프로그램이 지속적으로 운영되면서 다른 프로그램과 연계되어 주민자치 활동으로 이어져야 할 것이다. Decentralization and citizen participation is the key elements of local autonomy. Community Center is the institutional mechanism to induce citizen’s participation in which local governments and citizens may co-product and build community. This article evaluates the 11 community centers(in Gun-po City, Gyeong-gi province) using the appraisal indices(3 areas, 33 items) and analyses the characteristics of good cases. The properties of excellent cases are following. (1)They put in close practice public services for aged men with low incomes; (2)they solve the regional problems making the use of human and physical resources within the region; (3)they build the regional identities through opening festivals; and (4)they play the role of learning fields for improving the citizen’s awareness and educating citizens. However a small number of people participate in these activities so that the community centers have many limitation of making most of them involve. Notwithstanding continuous efforts should be given to construct community on the basis of the performances achieved until now.

강은하,장종언 대한치과교정학회 1999 대한치과교정학회지 Vol.29 No.4

이 연구의 목적은 II급 부정교합의 치료를 위해 경부경인 헤드기어(cervical pull headgear)를 사용할 때, 치료에 불리한 요인으로 작용한다고 언급되는 효과들이 실제로 발현되는지의 여부와 안모의 성장유형에 따라 그 차이가 존재하는지를 알아 보고자 함에 있다. 이를 위해서 삼성서울병원 치과교정과에서 II급 부정교합으로 진단되어 경부견인 헤드기어로 치료받은 환자중, 성장기에 있으면서 비발치 치료를 받은 환자를 연구대상으로 선별하였다. 그리고 연구대상을 “ 후안면/전안면 고경비 ”에 따라 수직성장군과 수평성장군으로 분류하였다. 수직성장군 15명(남자5AID, 여자10명)과 수평성장군 11명(남자4명, 여자7명)의 치료전, 후의 두부방사선규격사진상에서 SN-PP angle. SN-GoGn angle, SN-MP angle, PFH/AFH ratio, SN to 6, PP to 6 등을 계측하고, 비교분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1) 수직성장군에서 구개평면이 전하방으로 경사되었다. 2) 수평성장군에서 후안면/전안면 고경비가 증가하였다. 3) 수직성장군과 수평성장군 모두에서 하악평면각은 변화하지 않았다. 4) 상악대구치의 정출양에 있어서 수직성장군과 수평성장군의 차이는 없었다. The purpos of this study is to investigate the negative effects of cervical pull headgear and to compare the differences between the two groups of growers-vertical grower and horizontal grower group-which are classified by the posterior-anterior facial height ratio. Initial and final lateral cephalograms were taken for 26 patients including 15 vertical growers and 11 horizontal growers : also, 3 angular measurements and 4 linear measurements were evaluated. The following results were found. 1. The palatal plane was tipped anteroinferiorly in the vertical grower group. 2. The posterior facial height/anterior facial height ratio was increased in the horizontal grower group. 3. The Mandibular plane angle remained stable on both groups. 4. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the amount of maxillary molar extrusion.

강부경,이종섭,신태용,이은희,김형민 원광대학교 생명공학연구소 1996 생명공학연구소보 Vol.4 No.1

We determined for IgE in serum based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in vivo after intraperitoneal injection of Solanum lyratum extract for 14 days. The experiment showed as well whole spleen cells that Solanum lyratum extract enhanced IgE production in vivo. Solanum lyratum extract significantly facilitated the production of IgE by LPS-stimulated murine spleen cells. Solanum lyratum THUNB. also enhanced IgE production from mouse whole spleen cells. Lypopolysaccharide(LPS) stimulated IgE production was enhanced 1.4-fold to 2.7-fold by the addition of Solanum lyratum extract over a period of 7 days.
