기업의 서비스 실패로 인해 부정적 경험을 겪은 고객은 무의식적으로 그 원인의 추론을 통해 실망이나 후회의 부정적 감정을 얻게 되는데 이때 고객의 자기조절성향에 따른 감정의 발생은 각기 달리 나타나며, 이때 형성된 부정적 감정들은 서로 다른 고객반응을 일으키게 된다. 이러한 부정적 반응은 기업의 이미지 및 브랜드 가치에도 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 장기적으로는 기업 매출에도 부정적 영향을 미치며 서비스 회복 노력에 따른 추가적 비용도 발생하게 된다. 본 연구는 서비스 영역에서 서비스 실패에 따른 고객의 부정적 감정의 선행요인 및 그 결과변수인 고객반응에 초점을 두고 있다. 즉 서비스 실패 시 자기조절성향(평가지향성과 목표지향성)이 부정적 감정에 미치는 영향과 이때 귀인과정(내적귀인 vs 외적귀인)에 따른 고객의 부정적 감정(후회감과 실망감)의 차이를 살펴보았다. 그리고 이러한 부정적 감정들이 체념과 구전활동이라고 하는 고객 행동반응에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하였다. 분석결과, 자기조절성향에 따른 후회감의 차이는 목표 지향적 성향이 강한 고객보다는 평가지향적 성향이 강한 고객일수록 후회감이 더 크고 반대로 목표지향적 성향이 강한 고객은 실망감이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 고객의 부정적 감정들은 귀인과정의 조절적 역할(내적귀인-후회감, 외적귀인-실망감)에 따라 서로 다른 감정이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 후회감과 실망감은 소비자의 서비스 실패 후 행동반응에 상이한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데 본인의 의사결정에 따른 선택에 대해 후회감을 느낀 고객은 체념적 반응이 높게 나타났으며 반면에 실망감을 느낀 고객은 서비스 제공자나 제3자에 대한 구전행동이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

율무 수침엑스(Co-Ex)가 대식세포내 톡소포자충(Toxoplosmo gondii RH strain)의 번식에 억제 작용이 있다는 보고(Soh et al.., 1994)에 이어 본 연구는 Co-Ex내의 유효성분(effective component)을 추구하기 위하여 이미 탈지조작과 단백질 변성과정을 거친 Co-Ex를 Tris-buffer solution에 녹인 후 원심과정으로 그 상청(WC1) 그리고 WC1을 ammonium sulfate 처리 후 원심한 상청(WC2)과 침사(WC3)를 분리하였고 WC1은 다시 column chromatography에 의하여 WC4 WC5 WC6로 분획하여 시료로 사용하였으며. 대식세포 활성에 기여하는 것으로 이미 알려진 $IFN-{\gamma}$, LPS 등을 참고자료로 하였다. 각 시험자료들의 대식세포 활성화로 인한 반응질소 중간산물(RN1) 생산량. 대식세포의 톡소포자충 감염상 대식세포내 톡소포자충 번식상 등을 비교 조사하였다 10% FCS 첨가 DMEM 배지에 배양하였고 이에 각종 시료(BRM)를 실험목적에 따라 배지에서 24시간 작용시킨 뒤 RNI를 조사하였고 이어 톡소포자충 $1\times10^6$을 30분 감염시킨 뒤 새 배지에 옮겨 48시간 배양한 뒤 Pl, Fl 등을 조사하였다. NO 생산은 각례 대조(시료 비투여)에 비하여 높았고 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가는 생산량(${\mu}M/l$)을 더욱 증가시켰다(예 Control 7.5 Control + $IFN-{\gamma}$ 14.2 WC2 26.2 WC2 + $IFN-{\gamma}$ 57.8). 포자충감염율(%)은 대조에 비하여 낮았고 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가시에는 더욱 낮아졌는데 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가예에서의 감염율은 대조 38.0인데 비하여 WC2 19.2. WC1 + WC2 + WC3 7.2로 나타났다. 세포당감염율도 같은 경향으로 INF-$\gamma$ 첨가시험에서 대조 6.0(감염 대식세포 100개 중의 톡소포자충 평균수) WC2 1.7, WCI + WC2 + WC3 1.4 등으로 나타 났다. 결론적으로 율무엑스 수침엑스 중 WC2, WC1 등은 대식세포를 활성화하나 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가는 더욱 그 활성화를 높이며 그 중 WC2가 활성화에 주역을 하는 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

미세플라스틱이 해양에서 대량으로 발견되어 생태계에 큰 위협이 되고 있다. 국내에서도 우리가 실생활에서 직접 섭취하거나 음식에 많이 사용되는 천일염에서 미세플라스틱이 검출되었다는 보고가 있었다. 미세플라스틱을 분석하기 위하여는 성분, 크기, 모양 등에 대한 정보가 필요하며 이를 위하여 20 ㎛ 크기까지는 FT-IR 현미경이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 20 ㎛ 이하의 초 미세 플라스틱 분석이 가능한 라만 현미경법이 함께 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시판 천일염 10.0 g을 녹인 후 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm 크기의 45 ㎛ mesh 필터로 여과한 후 필터 시료를 각각 FT-IR 현미경과 라만 현미경을 사용하여 미세플라스틱을 분석하였다. FT-IR 현미경의 경우 70 ㎛에서 100 ㎛까지의 3개의 폴리에틸렌(PE)와 170 ㎛의 폴리프로필렌(PP)가 검출되었다. 라만현미경에서는 45 ㎛ 필터를 사용하였음에도 불구하고 필터의 일부에 걸쳐서 여과되지 않고 존재하던 10 ㎛, 30 ㎛의 PE를 포함하여 50 ㎛에서 120 ㎛까지 총 9 개의 PE와 1 개의 40 ㎛ 크기의 폴리스티렌(PS) 1 개가 검출되었다. 검출된 PE 중에는 PE와 Al₂O₃가 함께 결합한 70 ㎛ 미세플라스틱과 원형이 아닌 200 ㎛ × 30 ㎛, 150 ㎛ × 20 ㎛의 비정형 PE도 함께 측정되었다. 미세플라스틱 외에도 총 100 개 이상의 입자들이 측정되었으며 이들의 조성을 보면 5 개의 셀룰로오스, 16 개의 유리류, 35 개의 탄소, 28 개의 미네랄등과 확인이 되지 못한 19 개의 입자들이 측정되었다. 따라서 라만현미경은 적외선현미경에 비하여 20 ㎛ 이하의 미세플라스틱도 측정이 가능하기 때문에 시료의 량도 10배이상 적게 사용할 수 있어 시료 전처리 및 크기에 따른 분석오차를 줄일 수 있다.

본 연구는 코스피 200 선물시장의 거래변화량과 미결제약정변화량이 수익률과 변동성에 대한 가격예측기능이 있는지를 가설설정을 통해 실증 분석하는 데 있다. 이와 더불어 지수선물시장의 정보효율성과 함께 경제적 의미를 유추하고자 한다. 분석 자료는 1998년 7월 7일부터 2005년 12월 29일까지 최근월물 코스피 200 지수선물수익률, 변동성, 거래변화량 및 미결제약정변화량을 이용하였다. 설정된 가설을 검증하기 위한 분석모델로는 VAR 모형을 이용한 그랜즈 인과관계분석, 충격반응함수 및 분산분해와 ARMA(1,1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1)-M모형 등 다양한 동태적 금융시계열기법들을 이용하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 그랜즈 인과관계분석, 충격반응함수 및 분산분해분석의 결과, 코스피 200 선물거래변화량뿐만 아니라 미결제약정변화량도 수익률의 가격발견에 예측력을 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 코스피 200 선물거래변화량과 미결제약정변화량 간에는 상호 피드백적인 예측력을 보였으나, 미결제약정변화량이 상대적으로 거래변화량에 대해 보다 일관성 있게 예측정보를 제공하였다. 이러한 결과는 Jacobs and Oncochie(1998), Kocagil and Shachmurove(1998), Mougoue(2002), Yang et al(2005), 의 연구결과와 대동소이하였다. ARMA(1,1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1)-M모형을 이용한 분석결과, 코스피 200 선물수익률과 변동성은 전기의 거래변화량과 미결제약정으로부터 조건부평균방정식과 조건부분산방정식에서 영향을 받고 있는 결과를 보였으며, 정보에 대한 비대칭적 정보효과도 존재함을 보였다. 또한 코스피 200 선물거래변화량과 미결제약정변화량도 코스피 200 수익률로부터 영향을 받는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 코스피 200 선물시장이 효율적 시장이 아니며 정보의 비대칭성도 존재함을 알 수 있다. 따라서 투자자들은 과거의 코스피 200 선물수익률, 변동성, 거래변화량 및 미결제약정변화량을 충분히 분석함으로써 초과이익을 달성할 여지를 가지고 있음을 추론해 볼 수 있다.

This study was to explore the relationship between nurses' personality type and their job satisfaction level. The subjects of the study were the 364 nurses who were serving at the general surgical department, psychiatric department, pediatric department and emergency room. The hospitals for which they were working were four university hospitals in Daegu and Busan, and six other university hospitals in Seoul were selected as sample hospitals. For data collection, questionnaires were self-reported to the subjects, under their agreement, from May to June, 2000. The following two instruments were used in the study: One was MBTI Test whose Korean version designed and verified to reliability and validity by Kim Jung Taek and Shim Hae Sook(1990): the other was the Nursing Job Satisfaction Instrument, 'The Index of Work Satisfaction' developed by Slavitt, et al.., (1978). The data were analyzed by frequency, t-test, one-way variance analysis, scheffe's post hoc contrast, and Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS Win 10.0 program. The results this study were as follows ; 1. As a result of testing nurse's personality type by function at each career, it's found that the most personality type was expressed by the ST-type$(37.3\%)$ at 1-5 years, the SF-type$(29.4\%)$ at 6-10 years, the ST-type$(43.3\%)$ at more than 11 years. 2. As a result of testing the disparity in job satisfaction according to career, it appeared that the 6-10 years group showed higher job satisfaction, followed by the 6-10 years$(119.6\%),\;1-5 years(118.6\%)\;and\;more\;than\; 11 years(117.7\%)$ groups. 3. As a result of testing job satisfaction level according to nurse's personality type by function at each career, it's found that the most job satisfaction was expressed by the SF-type(F=8.50, p=0.00l) at 1-5 years. the ST-type(F=30.61, p=0.001) at 6-10 years. the SF-type(F=4.98, p=0.003) at more than 11 years groups. 4. As a result of testing a significant correlation between nurse's personality type by function and job satisfaction level. the SF(r=0.279, p=0.001) and ST(r=0.222, p=0.001) types showed significant positive correlation. and the NF(r=-0.201, p=0.001) and NT(r=-0.402, p=0.001) types revealed significant negative correlation. The nursing management is likely to be done more effectively, if managers in charge of nursing administration carefully reflect nurses' personal opinions in posting and personnel management, keeping in mind that there is a specific personality type that serves to raise job satisfaction at a specific career.

This study was done to verify validity of nursing diagnoses related to difficulty in respiratory function. First, content validity was examined by an expert group considering the etiology and the signs / symptoms of three nursing diagnoses - ineffective airway clearance, ineffective breathing pattern, impaired gas exchange. Second, clinical validity was examined by comparing the frequencies of the etiologies and signs / symptoms of the three nursing diagnoses in clinical case studies with the results of the content validity. This study was a descriptive study. The sample consisted of 23 experts (professors, head nurses and clinical instructors) who had had a variety of experiences using nursing diagnoses in clinical practice, and 102 case reports done by senior student nurses of the college of nursing of Y-university. These reports were part of their clinical practice in the ICU. The instrument used for this study was a checklist for etiologies and signs and symptoms based on the literature, Doenges and Moorhouse (1988), Kim, McFarland, McLane (1991), Lee Won Hee et al. (1987), Kim Cho Ja et at. (1988). The data was collected over four month period from May 1992 to Aug. 1992. Data were analyzed using frequencies done with the SPSS / PC＋ package. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. General Characteristics of the Expert Group A bachelor degree was held by 43.5% and a master or doctoral degree by 56.5% of the expert group. The average age of the expert group was 35.3 years. Their average clinical experience was 9.3 years and their average experience in clinical practice was 5.9 years. The general characteristics of the patients showed that there were more women than men, that the age range was from 1 to over 80. Most of their medical diagnoses were diagnoses related to the respiratory. system, circulation or neurologic system, and 50% or more of them had a ventilator with intubation or a tracheostomy. The number of cases for each nursing diagnoses was : · Ineffective airway clearance, 92 cases. · Ineffective breathing pattern, 18 cases. · Impaired gas exchange, 22 cases. 2. The opinion of the expert group as to the classification of the etiology, and signs and symptoms of the three nursing diagnoses was as follows : · In 31.8% of the cases the classification of etiology was clear. · In 22.7%, the classification of signs and symptoms was clear. · In 17.4%, the classification of nursing interventions was clear. 3. In the expert group 80% or mere agreed to ‘dysp-nea’as a common sign and symptom of the three nursing diagnoses. The distinguishing signs and symptoms of (Ineffective airway clearance) were ‘sputum’, ‘cough’, ‘abnormal respiratory sounds : rales’. The distinguishing sings and symptoms of (Ineffective breathing pattern) were ‘tachypnea’, ‘use of accessory muscle of respiration’, ‘orthopnea’ and for (Impaired gas exchange) it was ‘abnormal arterial blood gas’, 4. The distribution of etiology, and signs and symptoms of the three nursing diagnoses was as follows : · There was a high frequency of ‘increased secretion from the bronchus and trachea’ in both the expert group and the case reports as the etiology of ineffective airway clearance. · For the etiologies for ineffective breathing pat-tern, ‘rain’, ‘anxiety’, ‘fear’, ‘obstructions of the tract, ca and bronchus’ had a high ratio in the ex-pert group and ‘decreased expansion of lung’ in the case reports. · For the etiologies for impaired gas exchanges, ‘altered oxygen -carrying capacity of the blood’ and ‘excess accumulation of interstitial fluid in lung’ had a high ratio in the expert group and ‘altered oxygen supply’ in the case reports. · For signs and symptoms for ineffective airway clearance, ‘dyspnea’, ‘altered amount and character of sputum’ were included by 100% of the expert group. ‘Abnormal respiratory. sound(rate, rhonchi)’ were included by a high ratio of the expert group. · For the signs and symptoms for ineffective breathing pattern. ‘dyspnea’, ‘shortness of breath’ were included by 100% of the expert group. In the case reports, ‘dyspnea’ and ‘tachypnea’ were reported as signs and symptoms. · For the sign and symptoms for impaired gas exchange, ‘hypoxia’ and ‘cyanosis’ had a high ratio in the expert group. In the case report, ‘hypercapnia’, ‘hypoxia’ and ‘inability to remove secretions’ were reported as signs and symptoms. In summary, the similarity of the etiologies and signs and symptoms of the three nursing diagnoses related to difficulty in respiratory function makes it difficult to distinguish among them But the clinical validity of three nursing diagnoses was established through this study, and at last one sign and symp-tom was defined for each diagnosis.

가시오갈피 군락의 유전변이를 파악하기 위하여 국내산 8개 군락과 러시아산, 중국산 각 1개 군락등 총 10개 군락, 67개체에 대한 ISSR(inter-simple sequence repeats) 표지자 분석을 실시하였다. 국내산 가시오갈피의 ISSR 표지자 분석에서 76%의 다형성 증폭산물 (primer당 평균 11.5개)을 확인했으며, 가시오갈피 수집종에 대한 RAPD 표지자 분석 (Kim등(等), 1998)의 다형성 비율 57%(primer당 평균 5.7 개) 보다 높게 나타나서, ISSR 표지자 분석이 RAPD 표지자 분석보다 많은 정보를 제공할 수 있었다. 국내 가시오갈피 8개 군락의 유전변이분석에서 군락간 유전변이가 62.8%로 매우 높게 나타났는데, 이러한 결과는 자생지의 좁은 면적과 무성번식에 의한 군락 유지기작에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 본 연구의 제한된 시료수가 군락간 높은 유전변이를 설명하는 요인이 될 수도 있지만, 가시오갈피 군락의 번식특성과 분포양상을 고려할 때 유전적 해석에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 생각된다. 유연관계분석에서는 자생지의 지리적 위치와 군락의 유전적 연관성을 찾을 수 없었으며 이러한 경향은 AMOVA 결과 및 주성분분석에서도 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 국내 가시오갈피의 유전자원보존을 위해서는 자생지 보호와 더불어 현지의(ex situ)보존에서는 군락당 소수 개체를 다수의 군락에서 선발하는 군락 위주의 선발이 효과적일 것으로 생각된다.

Information technology (IT) outsourcing, the use of a third-party vendor to provide IT services, started in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Korea, and has increased rapidly since 2000. Recently, firms have increased their efforts to capture greater value from IT outsourcing. To date, there have been a large number of studies on IT outsourcing. Most prior studies on IT outsourcing have focused on outsourcing practices and decisions, and little attention has been paid to objectively measuring the value of IT outsourcing. In addition, studies that examined the performance of IT outsourcing have mainly relied on anecdotal evidence or practitioners' perceptions. Our study examines the contribution of IT outsourcing to economic growth in Korean industries over the 1990 to 2007 period, using a production function framework and a panel data set for 54 industries constructed from input-output tables, fixed-capital formation tables, and employment tables. Based on the framework and estimation procedures that Han, Kauffman and Nault (2010) used to examine the economic impact of IT outsourcing in U.S. industries, we evaluate the impact of IT outsourcing on output and productivity in Korean industries. Because IT outsourcing started to grow at a significantly more rapid pace in 2000, we compare the impact of IT outsourcing in pre- and post-2000 periods. Our industry-level panel data cover a large proportion of Korean economy-54 out of 58 Korean industries. This allows us greater opportunity to assess the impacts of IT outsourcing on objective performance measures, such as output and productivity. Using IT outsourcing and IT capital as our primary independent variables, we employ an extended Cobb-Douglas production function in which both variables are treated as factor inputs. We also derive and estimate a labor productivity equation to assess the impact of our IT variables on labor productivity. We use data from seven years (1990, 1993, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007) for which both input-output tables and fixed-capital formation tables are available. Combining the input-output tables and fixed-capital formation tables resulted in 54 industries. IT outsourcing is measured as the value of computer-related services purchased by each industry in a given year. All the variables have been converted to 2000 Korean Won using GDP deflators. To calculate labor hours, we use the average work hours for each sector provided by the OECD. To effectively control for heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation present in our dataset, we use the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) procedures. Because the AR1 process may be industry-specific (i.e., panel-specific), we consider both common AR1 and panel-specific AR1 (PSAR1) processes in our estimations. We also include year dummies to control for year-specific effects common across industries, and sector dummies (as defined in the GDP deflator) to control for time-invariant sector-specific effects. Based on the full sample of 378 observations, we find that a 1% increase in IT outsourcing is associated with a 0.012~0.014% increase in gross output and a 1% increase in IT capital is associated with a 0.024~0.027% increase in gross output. To compare the contribution of IT outsourcing relative to that of IT capital, we examined gross marginal product (GMP). The average GMP of IT outsourcing was 6.423, which is substantially greater than that of IT capital at 2.093. This indicates that on average if an industry invests KRW 1 millon, it can increase its output by KRW 6.4 million. In terms of the contribution to labor productivity, we find that a 1% increase in IT outsourcing is associated with a 0.009~0.01% increase in labor productivity while a 1% increase in IT capital is associated with a 0.024~0.025% increase in labor productivity. Overall, our results indicate that IT outsourcing has made positive and economically meaningful contributions to output and productivity in Korean industries over the 1990 to 2007 period. The average GMP of IT outsourcing we report about Korean industries is 1.44 times greater than that in U.S. industries reported in Han et al. (2010). Further, we find that the contribution of IT outsourcing has been significantly greater in the 2000~2007 period during which the growth of IT outsourcing accelerated. Our study provides implication for policymakers and managers. First, our results suggest that Korean industries can capture further benefits by increasing investments in IT outsourcing. Second, our analyses and results provide a basis for managers to assess the impact of investments in IT outsourcing and IT capital in an objective and quantitative manner. Building on our study, future research should examine the impact of IT outsourcing at a more detailed industry level and the firm level.

Objectives: To develop a new immunohistochemical marker system for supplementation of the Noyes histological classification of the endometrium in women of child bearing age with regular menstrual cycles, and to employ this system to evaluate pathologic factors involved in endometriosis, and thus to ascertain if it is useful in diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Endometrial biopsies were sampled from the posterior fundus of 41 (24 proliferative phases, 17 secretory phases) women with regular menstrual cycles (28-32 days), and each sample was immunohistochemically stained according to Noyes et al (1975) for determination of expression for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), integrin ${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_4$, ${\beta}_3$, COX-1 and COX-2. Then, the PR, integrin ${\beta}_3$ and COX-2 which were clearly expressed in the luteal phase was with endometrial samples were obtained from 20 cases of normal patients (group 1) and 25 cases with endometriosis (group 2) after confirming the day of ovulation by sex steroid level measurements 7-8 days after ovulation Results: In the regular menstruation group the expression of ER showed a tendency to be increased in the proliferative phase and decreased in the secretory phase, and was the highest in the proliferative phase. However, PR in the stromal cells showed no change in the entire menstrual cycle while in the epithelial cells, PR reached a peak in the late proliferative phase and was almost absent in the secretory phase. Integrin (${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_4$, and ${\beta}_3$ expression in the epithelial cells was absent in the proliferative phase but ${\alpha}_1$ was strongly expressed starting from the early secretory phase into the entire secretory phase. ${\alpha}_4$ was expressed strongly in the early and mid secretory phases and disappeared in the late proliferative phase, while ${\beta}_3$ appeared after the mid secretory phase and continued to be expressed until the late secretory phase. Expression in the stromal cells was weak overall and did not show any cyclic pattern. COX-1 expression was shown as a cyclic pattern in the stromal and epithelial cells and was particularly strongly expressed in the mid secretory phase of epithelial cells, and in the mid secretory and menstruation phase of stromal cells. In the endometrial epithelial cells there was strong expression during the entire cycle with stronger expression in the secretory phase compared to the prolferative phase. COX-2 was clearly expressed in the late proliferative, early and mid secretory phases in the stromal cells. No expression was observed in the proliferative phase of the epithelial cells, but which began to appear in the early secretory phase reaching a significant pattern from the mid secretory phase onwards. There was almost no expression in the stromal cells. In the cases with endometriosis showing normal endometrial maturation according to the Noyes classification, PR expression was increased while Integrin-${\beta}_3$의 expression was significantly decreased compared to the normal group. Also, COX-2 expression was slightly decreased in the stromal cells of patients with endometriosis while it was significantly increased in the stromal cells. Conclusion: Immunohistochemical markers can supplement the original Noyes classification of histological endometrial dating and therefore ascertain existing pathologic conditions. Particularly for patients with endometriosis with normally mature endometrial cells, changes in COX-2 and integrin expression patterns may assist in elucidating pathophysiologic mechanisms and therefore aid in the diagnosis of abnormal implantation conditions, and consequently determine a treatment modality.

Urban groundwater has a unique hydrologic system because of the complex surface and subsurface infrastructures such as deep foundation of many high buildings, subway systems, and sewers and public water supply systems. It generally has been considered that increased surface impermeability reduces the amount of groundwater recharge. On the other hand, leaks from sewers and public water supply systems may generate the large amounts of recharges. All of these urban facilities also may change the groundwater quality by the recharge of a myriad of contaminants. This study was performed to determine the factors controlling the recharge of deep groundwater in an urban area, based on the hydrogeochemical characteristics. The term ‘contamination’ in this study means any kind of inflow of shallow groundwater regardless of clean or contaminated. For this study, urban groundwater samples were collected from a total of 310 preexisting wells with the depth over 100 m. Random sampling method was used to select the wells for this study. Major cations together with Si, Al, Fe, Pb, Hg and Mn were analyzed by ICP-AES, and Cl, N $O_3$, N $H_4$, F, Br, S $O_4$and P $O_4$ were analyzed by IC. There are two groups of groundwater, based on hydrochemical characteristics. The first group is distributed broadly from Ca-HC $O_3$ type to Ca-C1+N $O_3$ type; the other group is the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type. The latter group is considered to represent the baseline quality of deep groundwater in the study area. Using the major ions data for the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type water, we evaluated the extent of groundwater contamination, assuming that if subtract the baseline composition from acquired data for a specific water, the remaining concentrations may indicate the degree of contamination. The remainder of each solute for each sample was simply averaged. The results showed that both Ca and HC $O_3$ represent the typical solutes which are quite enriched in urban groundwater. In particular, the P$CO_2$ values calculated using PHREEQC (version 2.8) showed a correlation with the concentrations of maior inorganic components (Na, Mg, Ca, N $O_3$, S $O_4$, etc.). The p$CO_2$ values for the first group waters widely ranged between about 10$^{-3.0}$ atm to 10$^{-1.0}$ atm and differed from those of the background water samples belonging to the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type (<10$^{-3.5}$ atm). Considering that the p$CO_2$ of soil water (near 10$^{-1.5}$ atm), this indicates that inflow of shallow water is very significant in deep groundwaters in the study area. Furthermore, the P$CO_2$ values can be used as an effective parameter to estimate the relative recharge of shallow water and thus the contamination susceptibility. The results of our present study suggest that down to considerable depth, urban groundwater in crystalline aquifer may be considerably affected by the recharge of shallow water (and pollutants) from an adjacent area. We also suggest that for such evaluation, careful examination of systematically collected hydrochemical data is requisite as an effective tool, in addition to hydrologic and hydrogeologic interpretation.ion.ion.
