일반적으로 정보화 수준을 측정할 때 많이 사용되는 방법은 산술평균의 개념에 의한 대표값 산출방식이다. 그러나 이는 항목간의 통합문제의 관점에서 각 항목의 정보화 기여도가 무시되고, 급격한 정보화의 구조변화를 적절히 반영하지 못하며, 기본지표의 측정항목이 많아질 경우에는 해당 측정항목이 상대적으로 작은 기여도를 갖는 것으로 나타나는 등 여러 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 새로운 정보화 수준 측정방법을 제안하고 이에 따른 정보화지수의 측정.비교.분석을 통하여 새로운 측정방법을 검증하는 데에 있다. 본 고에서는 서로 상관된 국가정보화 지표들을 결합하여 하나의 가중치를 구하는 인자분석 및 대표성분점수화법 등 세 가지 방법을 이용하여 방법별로 정보화지수를 산출한 결과를 비교.분석하여 보았다. 세 가지 방법들에 의한 가중치 및 지수는 다소 값의 차이를 보이고 있지만 전체적인 추이는 같음을 보았다. 방법 1과 방법 2는 요인분석에 의한 분석 결과로서 가중치나 지수에서 다소의 차이를 보이고 있지만 유사성이 매우 크며, 방법 3에 의한 분석결과는 앞의 방법들과는 가중치 및 지수에서 차이를 보이고 있다. 특히 방법 3은 다른 측정 방법과는 달리 상관성이 높은 변수들에게 가중치를 부여하게 된다. 따라서 방법 1과 방법 2보다 더 객관적으로 각 지표의 가중치를 반영한다고 볼 수 있어 어느 정도 이 방법에 의한 분석이 유의함을 보여주었다.

가뭄 및 홍수 등 재해를 방지하고 효율적인 물 관리를 위해서는 지표와 대기 사이에 이루어지는 수문기상 요소의 정량화가 필요하다. 수문기상요소는 관측을 통해 파악하는 것이 가장 정확하지만 광범위한 지역에 대한 관측은 한계가 있으므로 일반적으로 지면모델(Land Surface Model)을 많이 이용한다. 본 연구에서 Noah LSM(Noah Land Surface Model)과 TOPLATS(TOPmodel based Land-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme) 및 DHSVM(Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model)의 세 모델을 활용하여 안동댐 유역의 수문기상정보를 산출하고 관측자료와 검증함으로 각 모델의 특성을 분석하자 한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 관측자료는 국립기상과학원에서 운영중인 안동댐 유역 플럭스타워의(A6, A7) 지표근처 기상장과 에너지 요소이다. '13년 10월부터 '14년 11월까지 기간에 대해 각 지점에서 관측된 현열 및 잠열 플럭스의 품질관리를 수행하였으며, 이 자료를 본 연구의 검증자료로 활용하였다. 각 모델을 강제하기 위한 지표근처 기상자료는 두 지점에서 관측된 기온, 풍향 풍속, 상대습도, 강수, 지중온도 및 장 단파 복사량이며, 각 모델에서 산출된 잠열 및 현열 플럭스, 토양수분과 증발산량을 관측값과 비교 검증하였다. 본 연구결과는 한국수자원학회 학술발표회를 통하여 소개될 예정이며, 향후 멀티모델 앙상블 시스템 구축에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

총일차생산량(GPP, Gross Primary Productivity)은 생태계의 유기물 생산량을 나타내는 지표로써 생태계 생산성과 안정성을 파악할 수 있는 중요한 지표로 알려져 있다. GPP를 산출하는 대표적인 방법에는 다중 센서를 탑재한 원격 탐사 자료를 활용하는 방법과 플럭스타워를 통해 관측한 에디공분산을 분석하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Landsat과 MODIS와 같이 시공간 해상도가 다른 원격 탐사 자료들을 기반으로 초고해상도 GPP 자료를 산출하기 위한 공간자료 융합 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 GAN(Generative Adversarial Networks)과 같은 머신러닝 알고리즘을 활용하였으며 최종적으로 산정된 GPP 정보는 설마천과 청미천 등에 설치된 플럭스타워로부터 획득한 자료와의 비교·검증을 통해 평가되었다. 본 연구의 성과는 향후 증발산 자료, 생태계 호흡량 자료 등과의 조합을 통해 얻을 수 있는 물이용효율(WUE, Water Use Efficiency), 탄소이용효율(CUE, Carbon Uptake Efficiency)과 같은 지표 산정 시 적극 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objective: This study aims to determine whether national patient safety indicators (PSIs) can be calculated. Methods: Using PSI criteria from Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) Health Technical Papers 19 based on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), PSIs were identified in the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey (KNHDIIS) database for 875,622 inpatient admissions between 2004 and 2008. Logistic regression was used to estimate factors of variations for PSIs. Results: From 2004 to 2008, 3,084 PSI events of 8 PSIs occurred for over 80 thousands discharges. Rates per 1,000 events for decubitus ulcer (PSI3, 4.88), foreign body left during procedure (PSI5, 0.05), postoperative sepsis (PSI13, 1.32), birth trauma-injury to neonate (PSI17, 7.92) and obstetric trauma-vaginal delivery (PSI18, 32.81) are all identified between ranges from maximum to minimum of OECD rates, respectively. However, rates per 1,000 events for selected infections due to medical care (PSI7, 0.22), postoperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis (PSI12, 0.90) and accidental puncture or laceration (PSI15, 0.71) are below the minimum of OECD range. 7 PSIs except PSI 18 showed statistically significant relationship with number of secondary diagnoses. When adjusting patient characteristics, there are statistically significant different rates according to bed size or location of hospitals. Conclusion: This is the first empirical study to identify nationally number of adverse events and PSIs using administrative database. While many factors influencing these results such as quality of data, clinical data and so on are remain, the results indicate opportunities for estimate national statistics for patient safety. Furthermore outcome research such as mortality related to adverse events is needed based on results of this study.

The purpose of this study is to examine international trends in performance evaluation of public libraries. We examined major theoretical models for performance evaluation and its measurement guidelines and tools in the literature. We also conducted case studies to investigate actual practices in major regional public library systems in the United States. In-depth interviews with library staff were conducted in three large U.S. public library systems along with analyses of both internal and public documents. The results of the study inform that the most noticeable trend of performance evaluation was to assess the impact of public library in the lives of citizens and the society. Guidelines and methods to measure intangible impact were developed in both international and national levels. These efforts were also found at the local library levels. While the outcome and impact measures were found to be direct reflections of strategic goals of the library systems, actual impact measures have yet to be refined in actual library practices.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize the community health indicators affecting standardized mortality rate of cerebrovascular diseases(CVD) and to identify the relationship between CVD mortality and community health indicators in Gangwon-do. Methods: The community health indicators included material deprivation index, medical resource, rates of road pavement and local tax. CVD mortality and the material deprivation index were calculated in the registered death data and the 2000 census which were obtained from the Korean National Statistics Office. The community health indicators were measured using 2001 statistical year book of Ganwon-do. Data were analyzed by using Excel 2003, SAS 9.1. CVD mortality and material deprivation index were visualized by Arcview 9.1. Results: CVD mortality varied by region and sex in Gangwon-do. The highest CVD mortality in male and female were noted at Goseong-gun, the lowest CVD mortality in male was at Yangyang-gun as it of female at Pyeongchang-gun. In Taebaek city where material deprivation index was also the highest; in Pyeongchang-gun was the lowest. Also the higher material deprivation index in some regions was the higher CVD mortality was. CVD mortality was not related with community health indicators. Conclusions: The results showed the regional difference of mortality of CVD among counties and cities in Gangwon-do. It is recommended that other community health indicators besides material deprivation index, road pavement rate, medical resources and local tax affecting CVD mortality need to be considered to improve the preventive strategies.

This study is for the software implementation to generate atmospheric and surface reflectance products from RapidEye satellite imagery. The software is an extension based on Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) and an open-source remote sensing software including calibration modules which use an absolute atmospheric correction algorithm. In order to verify the performance of the program, the accuracy of the product was validated by a test image on the Radiometric Calibration Network (RadCalNet) site. In addition, the accuracy of the surface reflectance product generated from the KOMPSAT-3A image, the surface reflectance of Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD) of the same site, and near acquisition date were compared with RapidEye-based one. At the same time, a comparative study was carried out with the processing results using QUick Atmospheric Correction (QUAC) and Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes (FLAASH) tool supported by a commercial tool for the same image. Similar to the KOMPSAT-3A-based surface reflectance product, the results obtained from RapidEye Extension showed accuracy of agreement level within 5%, compared with RadCalNet data. They also showed better accuracy in all band images than the results using QUAC or FLAASH tool. As the importance of the Red-Edge band in agriculture, forests, and the environment applications is being emphasized, it is expected that the utilization of the surface reflectance products of RapidEye images produced using this program will also increase.

This study was carried out to find out the possibility for developing methodologies on the index for forest sustainability and to assess sustainability indices of metropolitan and provincial districts based on conditions of their forest health and management programmes in Korea. To find out some indicators to be utilized in developing the forest sustainability indices, total 84 possible indicators were selected and combined from 69 major programmes contained in the 4th Forest Development Plan and the Forest Vision for 21st Century and other 15 indicators selected separately from other forest policies. Those candidate indicators were reviewed throughly under evaluation processes and 33 indicators were finally chosen in developing the forest sustainability indices. Those indicators were classified into 3 categories, namely indicators for pressure, state, and response. Forest health could be represented by pressure and state indicators, while forest management programmes could be assessed by response indicators. Scores of importance for each indicator were assigned through Delphi survey and analyzed to project the extra weight value by summing rankings given to each index an applied to the standardized value of each index. Forest sustainability indices of metropolitan and provincial districts were analyzed and compared, based on relevant data of the year 2002. This study was kind a preliminary one in forest sustainability index and the names of metropolitan and provincial districts were not identified in this study. The indices could be very valuable in assessing quantitatively the level of forest health and intensity of forest management programmes in each districts and comparisons could be made among them, if all self-governing districts agree unanimously on the indices of forest sustainability and relevant indicators chosen in the study.

Korean Academy of Medical Sciences began developing Korean Medical Citaton Index(KoMCI) database in 2002, and has announced the impact factors of Korean medical journals published since 2000. In July 2005, Korea Research Foundation also announced the KCI impact factor of journals covering all subject areas for the 2003 and 2004. We compared the impact factor(IF), impact factor excluding self-citation(ZIF), and self-citation impact factor(SIF) of KoMCI 2004 and KCI 2004 in order to disclose why there is such a great difference in the values of impact factors between two databases. Out of 72 medical journals in both database, 59 journals were compared after excluding the missing data in KCI. Mean IF of KoMCI 2004 was 0.2 and that of KCI 2004 was 0.03(p=0.0000). Mean ZIF of KoMCI was 0.06 and that of KCI was 0.01(p=0.000). Mean SIF of KoMCI was 0.139 and that of KCI was 0.02(p=0.0000). We presumed that the major difference in the impact factor values was originated from the fact that KCI does not control the authority of journal names cited in the references. We strongly recommend that it is necessary to control the authority especially if Korea Research Foundation wants to ensure the validity and reliability of KCI data in the evaluation of korean journals.
