Since 1990, descriptive studies about the concept of client advocacy have been published in the health journals. However, empirical studies of the concept are still lacking. There are not enough bases to apply the concept of client advocacy in nursing practice. The purpose of this paper is to encourage empirical research about client advocacy by clarification of the concept and to discusses application of the theory in child healthcare. The literature was reviewed that empirical studies on client advocacy conducted after the year 2000. The changing trends in the client advocacy concept was examined; it was changed from the philosophical concept to nursing action and changed from individual advocacy to collective advocacy, with the rise of the self advocacy concept. The research trends on client advocacy evolves from descriptive study to quasi-experimental study and instrument development study, with diversification and expansion of research methods, advocates, clients and settings. The advocacy role of the nurse in child healthcare is significant due to the child's lack of self determination ability. In ill child care, the application of individual advocacy is potent, while in healthy child care, collective advocacy, policy advocacy, and social advocacy is effective.

프레임 릴레이망을 백본으로 한 LAN과 LAN접속으로 형성되는 기업통신망이 현재 활발히 전개되면서 인터넷을 통한 광고, 전자거래가 중요한 서비스로 진행되고 있다. 국내의 프레임 릴레이 서비스 현황을 살펴보면 KT, 데이콤, 일부기업등에서 프레임 릴레이 교환기를 수입하여 주고객인 기업에 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 이들은 사용자 요구에 의해 주로 LAN과 LAN에 접속된 라우터 등의 종단 시스템간 PVC(영구가상회선: Permanant Virtual Circuit)접속을 통하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하면서 독자적인 기업통신체계를 구축하고 있는 실정이다. 이와같이 사용자 요구로 PVC등록시 프레임 릴레이망과 LAN을 연결하는 링크의 QoS(서비스 질: Quality of Service), 트래픽 파라메터는 수동적으로 설정된다. 현재 국내에서는 프레임 릴레이 교환기 개발은 전무하고 단지 그들을 수입하여 운용하는 수준이며 향후 ATM(비동기 전달모드: Asynchronous Transfer Mode)망의 중요 서비스 연동이 될 프레임 릴레이 기술은 심도있게 연구되고 있다. 향후 고속통신을 제공하는 백본망은 기존의 프레임 릴레이망과 ATM망이 공존할 추세이며 점진적으로 프레임 릴레이망은 사라질 것이다. 이때 ATM 망이 기존의 프레임 릴레이망을 백본으로 한 기업통신망 수용시 원할한 서비스 제공을 위해서는 프레임 릴레이망을 백본으로 채택한 기존의 기업통신망을 ATM망에서 수용시 야기되는 문제점의 제시와 이의 해결은 매우 중요하다고 생각된다. FR/ATM(Frame Relay/ATM)연동시 기업통신망 입장에서는 PVC뿐만 아니라 SVC(교환가상회선: Switched Virtual Circuit)호처리가 수용되어야 한다. 이와같이 PVC와 SVC 수용으로 기업통신망은 통신망의 구성 및 관리가 복잡, 다양해지며, 또 그 기업은 관련된 다양하고 수많은 고객과 접속될 수 있어야 한다. 이때 ATM망을 백본으로 한 공중망이 관련 기업의 사설 정보를 관리하도록 한다는 것은 그 서비스의 이용자에게 보안문제를 제기함은 물론 서비스 이용자가 자신의 망에서 동작하는 여러 서비스를 고객 스스로가 관리하는 것이 바람직하다. CNN(고객망관리 : Customer Network Management)은 이러한 고객에 의한 통신망, 공중망에 대한 부분적 관리 및 서비스에 대한 관리가 이루어 질수 있도록 수행하는 기능이다. 본 논문에서는 ATM망이나 프레임 릴레이망과 ATM 망이 공존시 기업통신망관점에서 야기되는 문제점의 제시와 이의 해결 방안을 살펴보았다. 우선 FR/ATM 연동에서 PVC설정뿐만 아니라 SVC 설정 방법의 연구, 이때 고려된 QoS,트래픽 처리과정을 살펴보았다. 또한 망관리 입장에서 기업통신망 관리자와 ATM망 관리자와의 온-라인 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 변화된 통신망 차원서의 확장된 Managed Object(MO)를 근간으로한 체계적인 CNN-NMS(CNM-Network management System)연동을 살펴본후 결론에서는 추후 계속연구 및 조사 되어야 할 항목을 기업통신망 입장에서 서술하여 보았다.

This article is the critical review of the methods and assumptions with which the Korean archaeologists have tried to approach to the Bronze age society. It was not until the 1980s' that there had been any attempt to define the relevant units for the study of past societies. Before the archaeological records of megalithic builders in the Bronze age began to be analyzed to find out the general traits of chiefdom society, Korean archaeologists had described the variations in the cultural, rather than the social, entities. From the 1990s' , some scholars have attempted to reconstruct the scale and organization of the social groups and explain the growth of polities in evolutionary view, analyzing the hierarchical distributions of settlement data. In the concluding remarks of the review, I would like to indicate the some problems in the conceptualization of the material culture patterning in the regional and/or inter-regional level. First, the conceptual problem which appeared when the Bronze archaeologists define the distribution of artifact assemblages, composed of the specific artifact traits , beyond the instrumental categories that are efficient for the establishments of regional chronologies. It is evidently erroneous conceptualization that we define the artifact assemblages as the socio-cultual entities which came into being in specific time and place, geographically expanded, and finally disappeared based on the view of essentialism. Second, the interpretative problems about wide distributions of certain bronze artifacts must be indicated. I would like to suggest that the wide distributions of the specific bronze dagger or mirror types should be explained not by the cultural area concept related to the ethnicity assumptions, but by the world system or the inter-regional interaction models.

Text visualization is one of sectors in data visualization. This study is on methods to visually represent text's contents, structure, and form aspects based on various analytic techniques about wide range of text data. In this study -as a text visualization study-, 1) a method to find out the characteristics of a book's genre using words in the text of the book was looked into, 2) elements of visualization of a book's genre based on verification through an experiment were drew, and 3) the ways to intuitionally and efficiently visualize this were explained. According to visualization suggested by this study, first, actual genre of a book can be understood based on words used in the book. Second, with which genre is closed to the book can be found out with one glance through images of visualization. Moreover, the characteristics of complicated genres included in a book can be understood. Furthermore, the level of closeness (similarity) of a genre -which is found to be a representative genre using the number of dots, curvature of a curve, and brightness in the image- can be assumed. Finally, the outcome of this study can be used for a variety of fields including book customizing service such as a book recommendation system that provides images of personal preference books or genres through application of books favored by individual customers.

Immunization has been performed for centuries and is generally accepted as a sustainable method of controlling bacteria, viruses, and mediated and infectious diseases. Despite many studies having been performed on animal subjects to demonstrate the importance of toxin immunity, the use of toxoid vaccines in humans and animals has been limited for a long time. Recently, the development of the toxoid antigen delivery system has been facilitated using novel nano-medicinal technology. The micro/nano-carrier has been used to improve vaccination coverage as well as reduce vaccine costs. A micro/nano-carrier is a micro/nano-sized material that delivers immune cargo, including recombinant or peptide toxoid antigens. These toxoid antigens are either encapsulated in the interior or displayed on the surface of micro/nano-carriers as a way to protect them from the cellular machinery. In particular, the combination of toxoid antigens and micro/nano-carriers can induce phagocytosis through the specific interactions between GCs and macrophages; thus, the toxoid antigens can be delivered easily into the macrophages. This paper reviews recent achievements of micro/nano-carriers in the field of vaccine delivery systems such as microbial ghost cells (GCs, Bacterial ghost cells and Yeast ghost cells), gene-manipulated outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and biocompatible, polymer-based nanoparticles (NPs, NP-Carrier and NP-Cage). Finally, this review shows various aspects in terms of the hosts' immune responses.

This paper describes a novel type of a walking rehabilitation robot that applies robot technologies to crutches used by patients with walking difficulties in the lower body. The primary features of the developed robot are divided into three parts. First, the developed robot is worn on the patient's chest, as opposed to the conventional elbow crutch that is attached to the forearm; hence, it can effectively disperse the patient's weight throughout the width of the chest, and eliminate the concentrated load at the elbow. Furthermore, it allows free arm motion during walking. Second, the developed robot can recognize the walking intention of the patient from the magnitude and direction of the ground reactive forces. This is done using three-axis force sensors attached to the feet of the robot. Third, the robot can perform a stair walking function, which can change vertical movement trajectories in order to step up and down a single stair according to the floor height. Consequently, we experimentally showed that the developed robot can effectively perform walking rehabilitation assistance by perceiving the walking intention of the patient. Moreover we quantitatively verified muscle power assistance by measuring the electromyography (EMG) signals of the muscles of the lower limb.

Objective : This study aims to understand the phenomenon of social admission in Korea's rehabilitation system by analyzing the perspectives of occupational therapists. Methods : We developed a written questionnaire based on RSAT and, in August 2019, distributed it to occupational therapists with more than three years of experience at the time. Data were analyzed using the van Kaam's method. Further, high frequency words were analyzed by word cloud in order to extract significant statements. Results : Forty-six written interviews were collected from various areas of Korea. We analyzed the data into 2 categories, 4 themes, 13 sub-themes. The two categories were 'hospital system' and 'external factors of occupational therapy practice'. The themes according to 'hospital system' were 'difficulties in implementing multidisciplinary approach' and 'inadequate discharge planning system'. The themes according to 'internal and external factors of occupational therapy' were analyzed as 'difficulties of occupational therapists' and 'difficulties in occupational therapy practice'. Conclusion : Occupational therapists in rehabilitation hospitals recognize that the reason for social admission is insufficient insurance systems related to occupational therapy services in rehab hospitals. This leads to difficulties in occupational therapy practice. We need to develop the insurance systems that can meet patient needs for social recovery.

This research is described on the applicability of a electrochemical techniques for evaluating nondestructive material degradation with various polarization characteristics for Cr-Mo-V steel. The applied electrochemical technique is anodic polarization test which are widely used to evaluate the corrosion rate and/or sensitization at depleted zone of strengthening elements mainly caused by thermal experience for stainless steels. The evaluation of material degradation is performed by small punch test which has been well known as micromechanics test method using specimen size of $10{\times}10{\times}0.5mm$. The 1,000hrs aged material at $630^{\circ}C$ shows the highest material degradation$({\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP})$, but the 2,000hrs and 3,000hrs aged materials show the decrease of ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$ as aging time increases. It is observed that the difference of current density $({\Delta}I_{FP}\;and\;{\Delta}I_{SP})$.

This review article highlights different types of nano-sized catalysts for the selective alcohol oxidation to form aldehydes (or ketones) with supported or immobilized metal nanoparticles. Metal nanoparticle catalysts are obtained through dispersing metal nanoparticles over a solid support with a large surface area. The nanocatalysts have wide technological applications to industrial and academic fields such as organic synthesis, fuel cells, biodiesel production, oil cracking, energy conversion and storage, medicine, water treatment, solid rocket propellants, chemicals and dyes. One of main reactions for the nanocatalyst is an aerobic oxidation of alcohols to produce important intermediates for various applications. The oxidation of alcohols by supported nanocatalysts including gold, palladium, ruthenium, and vanadium is very economical, green and environmentally benign reaction leading to decrease byproducts and reduce the cost of reagents as opposed to stoichiometric reactions. In addition, the room temperature alcohol oxidation using nanocatalysts is introduced.
