Although academic library budgets have been decreasing, the rates of print and electronic journal subscription price have consistently increased. In response to this, as part of efforts to ensure access to foreign academic materials, the Ministry of Education and Korea Education & Research Information Service (KERIS) have initiated and operated Foreign Research Information Center (FRIC) since 2006, pursuing shared acquisition and sharing of foreign print journals. This study investigates the roles/values, issues raised by stakeholders, improvements in services, and new service elements of FRIC through the in-depth interviews with librarians in charge of FRIC in addition to examining its current state. The findings show that FRIC has contributed to sharing of academic materials and to promoting research. However, it was also found that the five types of stakeholders (i.e., the Ministry of Education/KERIS, universities/libraries, users, FRICs, and publishers/agencies) have diverse issues and problems with FRIC. Therefore, this study makes some suggestions to address the issues in terms of policy, system, management, and service.

Purpose: This study was to identify topics for evidence-based clinical nursing practice guidelines in Korea. Methods: Data were collected from 330 staff nurses from 10 general hospitals and 53 nurses in charge of nursing education in 110 hospitals with over 500 beds. Using open questions, the nurses identified activities which could not be verified, which lacked consistency among nurses, clinical units and/or hospitals, which were not based on the up-to-date knowledge and which needed reform. The data were analysed by content analysis using a qualitative methodology. Results: Collected data consisted of 1882 clinical topics, which were classified into 50 topics, 207 mid-categories, and 456 sub-categories. The most frequent topics in order of frequency were medications, central line management, intravenous injections, urinary catheterization, perioperative nursing care, skin tests, pressure ulcer care, blood transfusions, laboratory examination-culture, respiratory care which were performed routinely in clinical setting by staff nurses. Conclusion: The research findings indicate the urgent need to develop evidence-based clinical nursing practice guidelines related to these research findings. Further research is needed to identify topics related to health promotion, and symptom/management of health problem.

BACKGROUND: Reclamation of heavy metal-contaminated agricultural fields has intensively been done to ensure the soil quality and food security. This study evaluated the efficiency and longevity of current physical and chemical approaches for heavy metal-contaminated soils. METHODS AND RESULTS: Concentrations of 0.1 N HCl-leachable trace metals of Cd, Pb, and As from the stabilizing agents-treated soils decreased by 50%, 70%, and 40%, respectively, compared to the control. Among the stabilizing agents, the $CaCO_3$ was the best for stabilization. For physical stabilization, the soil dressing reduced the concentrations of Cd, Pb, and As by 88%, 94%,and 88%, respectively, compared to the control. Moreover, the dilution of the contaminated soils decreased the metals by an average of 25.3% when compared with the control. The longevity of each stabilization method was determined by using the availability assessment of heavy metals in the soils. Results showed that the leaching methods using HCl and $NH_4NO_3$ had 120 and 32 weeks longevity, respectively. Interestingly, any stabilization efficacy was not found over the time for Cd and Pb (i.e., cation metals), whereas the stabilization efficacy of As was sharply decreased under 50% after 32 weeks. However, the change of metal concentration was not significant with the physical stabilization compared to the chemical stabilization. CONCLUSION: The stabilization methods should carefully be selected based on long-term monitoring under climate conditions.

BACKGROUND: Soil contamination of As is a very sensitive environmental issue due to its adverse impact on human health and different characteristics with other heavy metals. With public awareness of As poisoning, there has been growing interest in developing guideline and remediation technologies for As-contaminated soil. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of stabilizing amendments and soil dressing methods on the mobility of As in the contaminated rice paddy soils nearby mining area. METHODS AND RESULTS: Different amendments were mixed with surface and subsurface contaminated soils at a ratio of 3% (w/w) and monitored for five months. Three different extractants including 0.01M $CaCl_2$, TCLP, and PBET were used to examine As bioavailability in the soil and the concentration of As in rice grain was also measured with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy. The results showed that all amendment treatments decreased As concentration compared to the control. Especially, coal mine drainage sludge (CMDS) treatment showed the highest efficiency of decreasing As concentration in the soil and rice grain. The values of Pearson correlation (r) between As concentrations in the soil and rice grain were 0.782, 0.753, and 0.678 for $CaCl_2$, TCLP, and PBET methods, respectively. Especially, $CaCl_2$ method was highly correlated between As concentrations of the soil and soil solution (r=0.719), followed by TCLP (r=0.706), PBET (r=0.561) methods. CONCLUSION: Stabilizing amendments can effectively reduce available As concentration in the soils as well as soil solution, and thereby potentially mitigating risks of crop contamination by As.

우리나라의 농업용수 사용량은 152억톤으로 우리나라 전체 물 사용량의 약 42%이며, 농업용수의 관리는 전체 논 면적 865천ha 중 한국농어촌공사에서 487천ha(56%), 지방자치단체에서 221천 ha(26%), 수리 불안전답이 157천ha(18%)이다. 또한 우리나라에 설치된 저수지, 양수장 등과 용수로로 공급되는 농업용수 공급량 중 논에 유입되지 못하고 퇴수되는 물이 약 43%이다. 농업용수 급수 중 용수로의 수위가 낮아 급수관을 통해 논에 유입되지 못하고 배수로로 퇴수되고 있는 실정이다. 농업용수 급수가 원활하기 위해서는 용수로의 수위를 20cm이상 확보하여야 급수관을 통해 논에 급수가 가능하다. 하지만 현장에서는 이러한 물 공급의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 용수로를 비료포대 등으로 막아서 사용함으로써 용수로 시설물의 관리가 되지 않고 토사가 쌓여 급수 애로가 가중되는 상황으로 시설물 관리를 위한 용수로 준설 등 시설 유지관리비가 발생하고 있다. 특히 금강권역(금강, 만경강, 동진강, 삽교천, 충남 서북부)에서 상습적인 가뭄 발생으로 농업용수 사용에 관한 분쟁이 상시적으로 도사리고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 농업용수의 급수 손실을 최소화하며 원활하고 안정적인 용수를 공급하고자 하였으며, 농민을 대상으로 설문지를 작성하여 응답을 분석하고 농민들의 요구사항을 개선하기 위해 법·제도, 거버넌스, 재원 및 기술·시설로 구분하여 제시하였다. 또한 과거 관행에 의한 유말부 용수공급에 탈피해서 원활한 용수공급이 가능하고 유지관리가 쉬운 장치인 부력식 제수문을 선정하고 제시하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 금강권역 상습 가뭄지역의 안정적인 농업용수의 공급관리를 위한 기술 개발 및 적용을 실시하고, 농업용수 공급관련 정량화된 손실현황을 분석한 후 수위확보 장치 적용 전·후 모니터링으로 효과 분석을 실시하였다.

A series of triaxial test was performed in order to determine critical state parameters of calcareous Jeju sand, which comprises angular shape particles with many pores in the surface. It is observed that Jeju sand mainly shows the contractive behavior during triaxial shear due to high extreme void ratios and large compressibility. The peak friction angle of Jeju sand decreases slightly with increasing mean effective stress due to the particle crushing of carbonate materials. However, the peak friction angle of Jeju sand is higher than that of other silica sands because of the more angular particle shape. The critical state friction angle of Jeju sand gradually decreases when the mean effective stress at a critical state increases. Whereas, there is not a clear influence of void ratio on the critical state friction angle. Critical state parameters of Jeju sand are similar to those of calcareous sands, but significantly larger than those of common sands.

Road pavements consist of layered structure and each layer is made of various materials. The load responses of pavement structures are very sensitive to properties of subbase materials. Successful pavement design, therefore, depends on the method and the accuracy of measuring material properties, and it requires realistic description of the behavior of layered materials. Resilient modulus ($M_R$) is widely used properties representing pavement structure materials. In this study, we collected data for mechanical characteristics of subbase materials that were used in domestic construction and adopted them to form a constitutive equation of subbase $M_R$ value. Proposed model was evaluated through the finite element analysis.
