Purpose : To describe clinical results and improvement of range of motion and pain after arthroscopic treatment for the athletic elbow lesion. Materials and Methods : We reviewed 13 cases of functional restriction of the elbow motion, who all patients were treated by conservative treatment during than 6 months but failed. We performed arthroscopic osteophytectomy, capsular release, spur excision. The interval from injury to operation was average of 13 months (range, eight to sixteen months). We used the Broberg and Morrey functional rating score system in evaluating result. The follow-up period averaged 6 months. Results : Arthroscopic finding that moderative to severe synovitis in all cases, intraarticular loose body in 9 cases, olecranon bony spur in 2 cases, was observed. All cases were successfully improved in range of motion and pain without in any further operation. Preoperative average score was 65 and postoperative average score was 89.4 in Broberg and Morrey functional rating score. Conclusions : Arthroscopic treatment appear to be satisfactory management modality due to diagnose the casative factor and reduce the injury around the elbow joint in painful elbow lesion. Elbow arthroscopy appears to be a safe and effective treatment for athletes, allowing easy return to participation in sports.

Purpose : To review the operative results and find out better method of a treatment of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome caused by ganglion. Materials and Methods : From March of 1996 to May of 2001, thirteen cases of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome caused by ganglion were reviewed which were diagnosed using physical examination, EMG and MRI. All of them were treated with open exision of ganglion, nerve decompression and arthroscopic examination. The clinical results were evaluated using subjective recovery of muscle power and ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) score. Results : Nine cases (69$\%$) showed residual symptom such as intermittent pain, insufficient recovery of muscle power, persistent muscle atrophy. Complete recovery in four cases (31$\%$). Mean value of ASES score was 86.4 (70-99.8) points. Postopertively, pain was relieved in 84$\%$ of patients and muscle power was improved in 53$\%$ of the patients but the atrophy persisted. Conclusions : Excision of ganglion is insuffient to relieve the nerve entrapment. Not only excision of ganglion but also treatment of intraarticular lesion, decompression of suprascapular and spinoglenoid notch which attributable to entrapment should be considered for the better clinical results.

This study analyzed the institutional characteristics of large scale national R&D policies in Korea. The analysis examined the continuity and change of the policy institution. It dealt with G7 Project, 21C Frontier Project, and Next Generation Growth Engine Project as the major large scale national R&D policies in Korea. The theoretical approach of this study is to the continuity and change or evolution of policy institution from the perspective of new institutionalism. Based on the theoretical analysis, it emphasized the analysis of the institutions in three different levels: macro, meso, and micro level. In the analysis, the research examined the idea of policy institution or policy goal, participants in the policy institution, and policy instruments in different levels. The outcome of the analysis shows that the policy of large scale national R&D in Korea has the institutional continuity in the macro level. In the meso level, however, the policy institution changes due to the administration change and the influence of political economic environment. In the micro level, the policy institution changes based on the symbolic influence of policy goal and the interest of bureaucrats. The research finds that the micro and meso level institutional changes cause the evolution of policy institutions and the major change of policy institution.

This study was a one-group pre-post test design experimental investigation conducted to evaluate the effects of problem-based learning by type of learning in nursing students. The subjects of the study were 125 senior students in the Department of Nursing Science at a single university located in A. City, and the study was conducted for eight weeks from April 18 through June 10, 2016. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, ANOVA, ${\chi}^2$-tests and t-tests. Most nursing students underwent converger type of learning, and after problem-based learning, their learning flow, problem-solving ability and critical thinking disposition increased significantly. In problem-based learning by type of learning, the problem-solving ability was significantly higher in the converger type than in the accommodator type, and there were no significant differences in learning flow and critical thinking disposition; however,in all types of learning, learning flow and critical thinking disposition increased. Since these results suggest that teaching and learning strategies should be set up for each type of learning, it is necessary to seek plans for teaching and learning strategies to make up for the weak points and strengthen the strong points by each type of learning when applying the problem-based learning method.

This study examines whether the variables used in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions) is applicable to continuous usage of uTradeHub at a time of expansion in the use of uTradeHub. In addition, the role of user satisfaction(mediating effect) and CEO support(interaction effect) in the relationship is identified attempting to provide basic data to help uTradeHub management strategy establishment. A total of 101 valid responses collected through questionnaires were used for empirical analysis(using SPSS 24.0), and the results are as follows. First, for the effect of the integration technology acceptance factor on user satisfaction(H1), only performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence were significant, but facilitating conditions was not significant. Second, for the effect of user satisfaction on the continued use of uTradeHub(H2), there was a significant result. Third, the mediation effect on verification of user satisfaction(H3) was full where performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence prompted continuous usage through user satisfaction. Fourth, for interactive effect verification of CEO support(H4), an interaction effect was shown only in the influence relationship of performance expectancy and social influence on user satisfaction.

The radiation shielding analysis for a Burnup-credit (BUC) cask designed under the management of Korea Radioactive Waste Management Corporation (KRMC) was performed to examine the contribution of each radiation source affecting dose rate distribution around the cask. Various radiation sources, which contain neutron and gamma-ray sources placed in active fuel region and the activation source, and imaginary nuclear fuel were all considered in the MCNP calculation model to realistically simulate the actual situations. It was found that the maximum external and surface dose rates of the spent fuel cask were satisfied with the domestic standards both in normal and accident conditions. In normal condition, the radiation dose rate distribution around the cask was mainly influenced by activation source ($^{60}Co$ radioisotope); in another case, the neutron emitted in active fuel region contributed about 90% to external dose rate at 1m distance from side surface of the cask. Besides, the contribution level of activation source was dramatically increased to the dose rates in top and bottom regions of the cask. From this study, it was recognized that the detailed investigation on the radiation sources should be performed conservatively and accurately in the process of radiation shielding analysis for a BUC cask.

In order to obtain amino acids and nucleic acid derivatives from adenine auxotrophic mutants of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, vitamin, nucleic acid analogue, streptomycin as well as ultraviolet light were adopted for the production of adenine auxotrophic mutants and the results showed efficient production of desired mutants. 1. Ultraviolet ray $(2530\;{\AA}\;2080\;erg/mm^2)$ irradiation to Bacillus subtilis and E. coli at a distance of 30 cm for 80-90 sec. and for 15-20 sec. respetively induced four and eight strains of auxotrophic mutants. 2. Treatment of aminopterine$(200\;{\mu}g/ml)$ inhibited the growth of Bacillus sultilis significantly but a subsequent irradiation of ultraviolet light at the above mentioned conditions induced six times as much mutants as compared to the irradiation alone. In case of E. coli a similar tendency was observed with treatment of streptomycin$(200\;{\mu}g/ml)$ with doubled induction rate of adenine auxotrophic mutants as compared to the irradiation alone.

The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of combined 1D/2D inundation simulation of riverside farmland using the Hydrologic Engineering Center - River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). We compared and analyzed inundation simulation results between 1D and combined 1D/2D hydraulic simulation using HEC-RAS. Calibration and validation of stream stage were performed using three rainfall events. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) and root mean square error (RMSE) between simulated and observed stream stage were 0.935 - 0.957 and 0.250 m - 0.283 m in calibration and validation, respectively. The inundation area showed no significant difference in 1D and combined 1D/2D simulation ($8.48km^2$ in 1D simulation, $8.75km^2$ in combined 1D/2D simulation). The average inundation depth by 1D simulation was 1.4 m deeper than combined 1D/2D simulation. In the lower inundation depth, the inundation area by combined 1D/2D simulation was larger than inundation area by 1D simulation. As the inundation depth increased, the inundation area by 1D simulation became wider. In the case of the 1D/2D combined simulation, low elevation areas along the river bank were inundated widely. Compared to 1D/2D combined simulation, the flood radius in some sections was longer in 1D simulation. In the 1D analysis, because the low altitude riverside farmlands are also assumed to stream, it is calculated that riverside farmlands have the same stage as the mainstream when the stream is overflowed. Therefore, the inundation area seems to be overestimated in those sections. In other regions, the inundation areas tend to be broken depending on overflow by each stream cross-section. In the case of river flooding, the overflow is expected to flow to the lower area depending on the terrain, such as the results of the combined 1D/2D simulation. It is concluded that the results of combined 1D/2D inundation simulation reflected the topographical characteristics of low-lying farmland.
