This study examined effects on stakeholder satisfaction and reliability and how stakeholders become aware of by disclosing sustainability management public activities being promoted or has been promoted by a corporate through empirical analysis. The study examined effects on satisfaction and reliability by examining level of awareness on growth index, profit index along with governance, risk management corresponding to economical activities and environment management, responding to climate changes, green products, green logistics corresponding to environmental activities and finally social contribution, human rights protection, consumer information protection, growth with partners corresponding to social activities out of sustainability management. The study also examined effects according to demographical characteristics and types of life styles. Subjects for study were employees of LG Household & Health Care a manufacturer of consumer goods, partners, institutional investors and consumers using Google Docs program and conducted surveys on 43 items and study period was from Nov 10 to 30 of 2011 through online. Hypothesis was verified using SAS statistics programfor empirical analysis and statistical methods applied was regression analysis and correlation analysis and variance analysis. The results fromthis study can be summarized as followings. First, the effects on stakeholder satisfaction by disclosing performance of sustainability management were analyzed as having positive (+) effects on stakeholder satisfaction by all factors of economical, environmental, social activities which are triple bottom lines of corporate sustainable activities. The study showed that the awareness on performance especially on environmental responsibilities affected greatly in stakeholder satisfaction. Second, the effects on stakeholder reliability by disclosing performance of sustainability management were analyzed as having positive (+) effects on stakeholder satisfaction by all factors of economical, environmental, social activities which are triple bottom lines of corporate sustainable activities. The study showed that the awareness on performance especially on social responsibilities affected greatly in stakeholder satisfaction. Third, the effects on stakeholder satisfaction and reliability on the awareness of performance of sustainability management according to the types of stakeholder did not show meaningful results. The awareness on performance of sustainability management was higher for employees than other stakeholders thus forecasted that satisfaction or reliability according to this would be high but could not find meaningful differences between stakeholder groups but showed higher satisfaction from shareholders and institutional investors. This is believed that the disclosure of sustainability management is required for institutions for analyzing, evaluating and making investments on corporate and providing information. Fourth, disclosed data on sustainability management was analyzed as having significantly positive (+) effects on third party verifications and reliability. The study showed that reliability on environment and social data was high. This is because there are hardly any reports on disclosed corporate environmental and social contributions and the contents were at the level of promotional materials by corresponding organizations while reports on sustainability management published by third party verifications were trusted more. Fifth, the relationship between stakeholder satisfaction and reliability on sustainability management showed no statistically meaningful results between two groups after analyzing satisfaction and reliability between groups with high interest and low interest in sustainability management. The effects on stakeholder satisfaction and reliability on the awareness and the interest on performance of sustainability management showed that the interest on sustainability management has no meanin

정숙인,김연숙,오원섭,복혜숙,김명민,최경업,김연화,김성민,백경란,송재훈 대한화학요법학회 2001 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.19 No.3

목적 : Astromicin은 aminoglycoside계 항생제와 유사한 화학구조와 특성을 지니고, 기존의 aminoglycoside와 유사하거나 향상된 임상효과 및 부작용을 지닌 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 astromicin의 약동학적 특성을 분석하고, astromicin 투여 환자를 대상으로 한국인에서 그 임상적 및 세균학적 효과와 안전성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 약동학적 지표는 정상성인 남자를 대상으로 astromicin 200㎎을 30분간 정주한 후 24시간까지 혈장 및 뇨 검체를 수집하여 one-compartment open model에 따라 분석하였다. 중증으 세균감염이 있는 18세 이상의 환자를 대상으로 병용 또는 단독 투여한 후 임상적 효과와 세균학적 효과를 판정하였고, 치료전과 후의 순음청력검사와 혈청 크레아티닌으로 이독성과 신독성을 평가하였다. 결과 : 정상 성인 남자 12명을 대상으로 약동학적 지표를 평가하였고, 최고혈장농도는 투여 종료시점(C_(0))에서 16.87±1.68㎍/mL였으며, 반감기는 1.86±0.43 시간 이었고, AUC_(0-12h)은 38.12±10.57㎍ㆍhr/mL, Vd는 0.18±0.02L/㎏, CL은 5.25±2.07L/hr였다. 이러한 약동학적 지표는 다른 aminoglycoside와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 59명의 환자를 대상으로 시행한 임상적 효과 분석에서는 단독요법을 시행한 50명 중 임상적 치유율 94%, 세균학적 치유율 100%를 보였고, 순음청력검사를 시행한 48례의 환자중 의미있는 청력감소 소견은 관찰되지 않았으며, 신독성 또한 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 결론 : Astromicin의 약동학적 지표는 다른 aminoglycoside의 약동학적 지표와 비슷한 양상을 보이므로 향후 astromicin의 약물농도 감시에 있어서 다른 aminoglycoside의 치료적 약물 농도 감시 방법과 유사한 방법을 적용할 수 있으리라 기대된다. 또한 임상적 치유율이 우수하면서 신독성이나 이독성이 적어 세균 감염 환자의 치료에 있어서 단독 또는 병합 요법으로 비교적 안전하게 사용할 수 있으리라 생각된다. Astromicin(Fortimicin®) has some characteristics in common with other aminioglycoside antibiotics, although it has a unique chemical structure, which is different from them. This study was performed to elucidate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of astromicin following single-dose intravenous infusion of 200 mg and to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of astromicin in Korean populations. PK parameters of astromicin were determined in 12 healthy volunteers (65.5±5.2㎏). The plasma and urine samples were collected up to 24hrs. PK variables were calculated by fitting individual concentration-time curves to a one-compartment open model. Plasma level at the end of infusion was 16.87?1.68 ㎍/mL and declined to 1.05±0.35 (㎍/mL 8hr later. The half-life was 1.86±0.43 hr. Apparent volume of distribution was 0.18±0.02 L/㎏g, and total body clearance was 5.25±2.07 L/hr. These values were similar to those of other aminioglycosides. Clinical efficacy and safety were eviuated in 59 patients with moderate to severe bacterial infections who needed parenteral antibiotics. Among 50 patients who recieved astromicin monotherapy, 49 (98%) had favorable clinical reponse and 28 (100%) had favorable bacteriological response. Serial audiograms revealed no change in all of 48 patients. No nephrotoxicity was observed in all patients. Conclusively, our data suggest that therapeutic drug monitoring of astromicin can be conducted in a similar fashion as other aminioglycosides and astromicin is a useful and safe antibiotic in the treatment of severe bacterial infections.

김호훈,강연호,김성한,박미선,유재연,이복권 대한감염학회 1998 감염 Vol.30 No.5

목적: 국내 설사 환자에게서 분리 동정된 인체 감염 유래 E. coli 균의 혈청군, verocytotoxin 생성능을 구명하여 EHEC 균의 인체 감염 실태를 구명하고, 동물 및 식품 유래 분리균주의 성상과 비교 검토하여 인체 감염 위험성에 대한 기초적 자료를 의학계에 제공하고자 하였다. 방법: EHEC 감염의심 설사 환자 분변 검체로부터 분리된 균주 중 생화확적 성상에 따라 대장균을 분리하였고 이들 균주 중 E. coli O157:H7를 분리하기 위해서는 Dsorbitol 음성균을 선별하였으며, 분리균에 대하여 항혈청으로 응집 시험을 실시하여 혈청군을 구명하였다. 혈청군이 확인된 균주에 대하여 중합효소 연쇄반응 (PCR) 및 역수동라텍스 응집시험 (Reversed Passive Latex Agglutination:RPLA) 으로 verocytotoxin 생성능을 구명하였다. 결과: 장출혈성 대장균 감염 의심설사 환자의 분변검체로부터 25주의 E. coli 균을 분리 동정하였으나 이들 균주는 모두 verocytotoxin을 생성하지 않았다. 분리 동정된 대장균으로부터 확인된 혈청군은 16종으로서 E. coli O1, O6, O8, O15, O20, O25 O26, O28, O29, O44, O86a, O119, O126, O128, O152, 및 O157:H-였으며 E. coli O157:H-혈청형 균주와 E.coli O25 혈청군 균주가 각각 3주씩 분리되어 비교적 높은 분리율을 보였다. 결론: 장출혈성 대장균 감염 의심설사 환자 분변 가검물로부터 총 25주의 E. coli균을 분리 동정하였으나 verocytotoxin을 모두 생산하지 않았다. Background: Since 1982, many countries has reported outbreaks or sporadic cases caused by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serogroup strains, mainly E. coli O157:H7 type strain. However, systemic investigation about EHEC agents, including E. coli O157:H7, have not been done in Korea. Therefore, we investigated serogroup and verotoxin productivity of E. coli strains isolated from diarrheal patients and estimated risk of human infection in comparison with EHEC strains isolated from cow, pig, and food material in Korea. Methods: Diarrheal patient stool samples were collected and E. coli strains were isolated, according to biochemical characteristics. In order to isolate E. coli O157:H7, D-Sorbitol negative strains were selected. Serogrouping of the E. coli isolates was done by agglutination test. Verocytotoxin productivity was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reversed passive latex agglutination (RPLA). Human infection risk was estimated in comparison with EHEC strains isolated from cow, pig and food materials in Korea. Results: Twenty-five E. coli strains were isolated from the diarrheal patients who were suspected to be infected with EHEC. However, none of these E. coli strains produced verocytotoxin. Out of 25 E. coli isolates, 16 serogroups of E. coli O1, O6, O8, O15, O20, O25, O26, O28, O29, O44, O86a, O119, O126, O128, O152 and 157:H-were found. In each of the E. coli O157:H-and O25 serogroups 3 strains were found. Conclusion: None of 25 E. coli isolated from diarrheal patients who were suspected of EHEC infection produced verocytotoxin producing E. coli have been reported recently in Korea.

高校生들의 間食實態에 관한 硏究

延福圭,金顯俊 忠北大學校 平生體育硏究所 1990 平生體育硏究所 論文集 Vol.4 No.-

I made up a questionaire to acknowledge the actual state of snack intake with a total of 1051 high school student - 500 boy students, 551 girl students, by sex, residence and standared of life. As the result of it, I came to the conclusion as follows: 1. Backgrounds of Target Students. My study shows that high school students seldom have time for exercise and relaxation because the present educational system is enacted for scholastic ability to enter higher educational institutions. As a matter of fact 54% of the entire students hardly take exercise and 50% of them think they are underfed. 2. Actual Conditions of Snack Intake. Most of the high school students take snacks and kinds of snacks they eat frequently are beverages, noodles, and fruits. Time for snacks is irregular and they eat them hastily two or three times a day. 30% of them think that the amount of intake is not enough while 10.2% think plentiful. The criteria for selecting snacks are decided according to their deliciousness or teste, and the places to get ehem are that 37.2% of them are at home, 30.1% stores or restaurants around their schools, and 30.0% of them get snacks at their concession stands. My study reveals that more than half the students eat outside their home on weekdays, and 45% of them eat something different, not boild rice. Most of them take snacks even at 10:00 at night. 3. The Necessity and Reason for Snack. 82% of the high school students want snacks and 32.2% show the reason for taking snack is that they eat them to kill and because they like them. The reason why students feel hungry during the daylight hour is that they can't eat breakast enough because of the early-starting extracurricular classes, and the lunch break is too short to have lunch leisurely. 4. Snack's Influsece on Health. Owing to snacks, about 65% of students spoil the regular meals, and in case and student took a snack during the previous night, he feels something unusual in his body when he wakes up next morning such as satiety, a bit of stomachache, swollen face, and frequent excreta as well. By taking snacks over a long period of time, they are suffering from fathess, gastic diseases, decayed tooth and gum disease. 5. Students' Opinions on Snacks. They strongly request parents' interest in their children at home and the betterment of quality of food stuff toward food makers. In addition, they request school authority to give snack time to students, to expand meal time and food supply, to improve the facilities of the concession stand, and set up a school restaurant. I suggest that school authority should take more interest in students' snacks.

It is difficult to make an exact estimate of the peak discharge, the runoff depth of flood, and establish the proper measurement for the flood protection since the water stage or discharge has been rarely measured at medium or small river basin in Korea. Therefore, Runoff analyses were perfomed using the storage function method, the discrete, linear, input-output model and linear reservoir model, respectively. Various parameters for the study areas were determined. The calculated hydrographs by three methods showed good agreement with observed flood hydrographs. The capabilities of regenerating flood hydrographs were evaluated based on rainfall from the storage function parameters, the Ø-index method, and the constant percentage method. The storage function parameters provided better effective rainfall for regenerating flood hydrographs than any others considered in the study. 우리나라의 중소하천 유역 중 대부분은 수위나 유량 관측을 행하지 않은 미계측 유역으로 방치되어 있는 상태이므로, 홍수시 정확한 유출량의 추정, 홍수피해 경감을 위한 적절한 대책 수립 및 수공구조물의 건설에 필요한 계획홍수량의 산정 등이 극히 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수영강유역을 대상으로 기존의 유출해석 모형 중 저류함수법, 선형 이산화 입력-출력 모형 및 선형저수지 모형을 채택하여 유출해석을 실시하고, 대상유역에 대한 각종 매개변수를 산정한다. 유출결과로부터 세가지 방법에 의한 계산수문곡선은 실측수문곡선과 잘 일치하였다. 또한 저류함수법 매개변수를 이용한 방법과 Ø-index법 및 일정비손실법 등의 유효강우량 산정방법에 따라 수문곡선의 재현능력을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 저류함수법 매개변수를 이용한 방법이 가장 양호한 재현결과를 나타내었다.

보릿짚의 수분함량 및 수확시기가 소각시 대기오염물질 발생에 미치는 영향

고지연,강항원,이재생,김춘송,박성태,김복진 한국환경농학회 2004 한국환경농학회지 Vol.23 No.2

영남지방 벼-보리 이모작답에서 가장 널리 시행되고 있는 보릿짚 처리방법인 소각이 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 소각시 발생하는 온난화가스, 대기오염가스 및 분진발생량을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 보릿짚 소각시 온난화가스 발생량은 CO₂376.8, CH₄ 1.56, N₂O 0.05 kg/10a 로서 CO₂의 발생량이 가장 많았으며, 대기 오염가스 중에는 유기물의 불완전 연소시 배출되는 CO발생량이 28.8 kg/10a로서 가장 많았다. 그 외 SO₂ H₂S, NH₃, NO등의 질소 및 황 함유 유해가스도 소량 발생되었고 발생된 PM 10 분진의 대부분은 인체에 미치는 영향이 PM 10보다 큰 PM 2.5로 이루어져 있었다. 또한 수확시기가 빠르거나 수분함량이 높은 보릿짚일수록 온난화가스 및 대기오염 가스의 발생량이 증가하고 소각 연기내 PM 10 분진중 PM 2.5의 미세분진 비중이 높았다. 수확적기로 알려진 출수 40일 이후의 보릿짚은 출수 후 40일된 보릿짚 소각시 발생하는 대기오염가스 발생량과 큰 차이가 없었다. This study was carried out to determine impacts of burning of barley straw produced from rice-barley double cropping paddy field on air quality by investigating emissions of greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O), air pollution gases (CO, SO₂, H₂S, NH₃ and NO) and particulate matters (PM 10 and PM 2.5). When the barley straw at a rate of 4.5 t/ha was burned at open status, the emitted GHGs amounts were CO₂ 376.8 kg/10a, CH₄ 1.56 and N₂O 0.06. The amount of CO emission was the largest among air pollution gases. These results showed that the range of 45~55% of total C in barley straw was emitted as CO₂-C, followed by CO-C (6.4~5.9%) and CH₄-C (0.5~0.7%). As far as moisture content in barley straw is concerned, the higher moisture content that the barley straw contains, the larger amount of air pollution gases and the higher portion of PM 2.5 in PM 10 were emitted when it burned. In case of harvesting time of barley straw, emission amounts of greenhouse, air pollution gases and PM 2.5 portion in PM 10 had tendency to increase when earlier harvested barley straw was burned.

This study was conducted to examine aspects of middle and high school students' drinking and smoking with analysis of related factors. The subjects of this study was 540 students in Kyungbuk Province. Data were collected from July, 2002 to September, 2002. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. 43.6% of the boy students experienced smoking, while 12.2% of the girl students experienced it. 5.3% of the students at academy schools experienced smoking, while 44.7% of the students at vocational schools experienced it. 11.4% of the middle school students experienced smoking, while 33.9% of the high school students experienced it. 15.5% of them who lived in towns or villages experienced smoking and 38.3% of them who lived in small or medium sized cities experienced it.37.5% of the students who belonged to the lower economic class experienced smoking and 20.7% of the students who belonged to the upper economic class experienced it. 24.0% of the students who belonged to the middle economic class experienced it. It appears that the respondents showed significantly different smoking experience rates by gender, school types, grades, the number of family members, residences, and economic classes. 2. 14.5% of the respondents who lived with grandparents and parents experienced smoking and 26.5% of them who lived with parents experienced it. The smoking rate was significantly high in the groups of having one-parent, being unsatisfied with family life, making poor grades in studies, and having the father or the mother working as a salesperson. 3. 45.3% of the respondents who were unsatisfied with family life experienced smoking. The smoking rate of the respondents who were unsatisfied with it was significantly higher than that of the other groups. On the other hand, the smoking rates were not significantly different by daily life, schoolmate relation, health condition, and feeling stress. 4. According to smoking rate by frequency of drinking, 16.4% of the respondents who drank less than once a month smoked and 54.8% of them who drank more than twice a month smoked. The more frequently they drank, the higher their smoking rate was. Those who did exercise displayed significantly higher smoking rate than those who did not do exercise. Among the rates of the respondents' agonies, family disharmony was 50.5% and love problem was 39.2%. Economic condition preblem was 34.6%. It appeared that smoking was most influenced by the family disharmony. 5. The factors significantly influencing smoking experience were gender, school grade, schoolmate relation, score in studies, and exercise. From above results, it can be concluded that the students' smoking is a serious problems which can be resolved by simple approaches because it is interrelated complicatedly with gender, grade, family, school, etc. Schools, related organizations, and the government must closely work together to maximize the effectiveness of policy implementation concerning the smoking and drinking problem of the middle and high school students.

정인원,박환규,정연복,김수일,원구연,김교형,신철진 大韓神經精神醫學會 1999 신경정신의학 Vol.38 No.6

연구목적: 정신보건법에 근거하여 매월 정기적으로 개최된 충청북도 정신보건심판위원회를 통하여 정신질환자의 계속입원치료 청구 심사의 현황과 문제점을 파악하고 개선사항을 지적함으로써 정신질환자의 효율적인 관리를 유도하고 인권남용의 여지를 차단하고자 한다. 방 법: 충청북도 내의 정신의료기관에서 계속입원치료 심사청구서 및 진단서, 보호의무자의 동의서 등을 제출한 정신질환자들을 대상으로 계속입원치료 청구에 대한 승인 여부를 매달 정기적으로 심사하였다. 1년 6개월여동안 심사한 자료를 정리하여 진단 및 보호의무자, 의료보장별 특성과 불승인률 등을 분석하였다. 결 과: 충청북도 심판위원회에 계속입원치료를 청구한 정신질환자는 21차례의 위원회 동안 총 7,981명이었으며, 진단별로 정신분열병은 80.9%, 알콜중독은 8.1%, 치매 등 기타는 11.0%이었다. 또한 보호의무자는 시장 또는 군수가 29.8%, 부모가 26.9%, 형제가 26.1%, 부부가 6.3%, 자녀가 5.9%, 기타가 5.0%로 나타났으며, 의료보장은 의료보호가 73.0%, 의료보험이 27.0%이었다. 이들 중에서 196명이 계속입원치료를 불승인받아서 전체 불승인률은 2.46%이었으며 정신분열병과 알콜중독 환자의 진단별 불승인률은 각각 0.73%와 17.6%이었다. 결 론: 정신과 병상의 대부분이 장기적으로 입원하는 만성 정신질환자들로 구성되어 있어서 이들에 대한 별도의 대책이 시급하다. 또한 계속입원치료가 불승인되어 퇴원한 환자들의 재활 및 사회적응을 위한 사회적 지지 체계가 부족하며, 특히 환자의 인권보호를 위한 구체적인 기준 등이 필요하다. Objectives: This study was to develop effective managements and to avoid the abuse of human rights in mentally-ill patients. The Mental Health Judgement Board of Chungchongbuk-do province has been held monthly since August, 1997 according to the Mental Health Act. In this study, the procedures and the problems of judging continuing hospitalization of chronic mentally-ill patients were reviewed. Methods: The mentally-ill patients who submitted the request for continuing hospitalization with the certificate of charged doctor and the agreement of caregiver were reviewed by the Mental Health Judgement Board of Chungchongbuk-do province. The analysis of the diagnoses, caregivers, medical care systems, and rejection rate for the patients were done. Results: Total mumber of mentally-ill patients who requested for continuing hospitalization were 7,981 from twenty-one monthly meetings. The diagnostic distributions were 80.9% for schizophrenic patients, 8.1% for alcoholics and 11.0% for others including dementia. As for the caretakers, the rate of majors was 29.8%, parents 26.9%, sibling 26.1%, spouse 6.3%, offspring 5.9%, and others 5.0%. And 73.0% of the patients were on Medicaid and 27.0% were insured. The patients who got the rejection for continuing hospitalization were 196 at the rate of 2.46%. And the rejection rates of schIzophrenic and alcoholic patients were 0.73% and 17.6%, respectively. Conclusions: New policies for decreasing longterm hospitalization of chronic mentally-ill patients are required. And the social support systems for psychiatric rehabilitation and readjustment are presently insufficient for the already discharged mentally-ill. Moreover, the practical guidelines for human rights of patients remains to be suggested.
