  • Introduction : Nursing as a profession is gelling wide acceptance today, especially among independent -minded women with necessary physical, mental and academic qualifications. This is particularly true of "comprehensive nursing", which requires to total dedication on the part if the nurse herself-physical, mental and sociocultural. Such comprehensive approach is like-wise called for in the institutional training of professional nurses. Undergraduate nursing courses nowadays place an increasing emphasis on the microscopic approach of training a nurse as an intelligent and well-balanced human being with an optimum degree of cultural sophistication. Greater attention then ever before is now paid to close observation of the individual traits and aptitude of nursing students, so as to permit full development of individual capabilities, interests and propensities within the concept of "comprehensive human education. " Purpose of study 1. To determine the degree of understanding of the part of nursing students of the various aspects of the subject taught in undergraduate nursing course. 2. To determine the motivation of nursing students in choosing the profession and possible subsequent change or attitude and outlook in the course of under graduated studies, as a means of presenting a new practical approach in nursing training based on the concept of "comprehensive human education. " Problems of study 1. The environments of nursing training will impinge on individual nursing students with different psychological impacts from lower to upper classes of under graduated studies. 2. Educational environments will have varying psychological impacts on students: a. Difference in religious faith among students. b. Difference in campus environments. c. Difference in domestic (family) circumstances. d. Difference in innate capabilities of students, 3. The understanding and attitude of individual nursing students towards the science of nursing will Have a close correlation with their respective motivations in choosing-nursing as a profession, and will also be closely influenced by the peculiarities of the subject taught, tile campus environments, etc, Delimitations of the study 1. Two universities offering 4-year nursing courses were selected. Due to the limited number of potential subjects, the optimum conditions of sample collection could not be fulfilled. 2. Subjects were confined to two classes in each university (sophomores and seniors) but without regard to the ages or scholastic achievements of individual students. 3. The conclusions derived from this study should be limited in application to the subject groups covered by the present study: they should not in any event be extended or applied to other groups. Procedures 1. Subjects: 40 nursing students each from the sophomore and senior classes of the "Y" and "K" universities situated in Seoul, aggregating 160 students altogether. 2. Instruments: Use has been made of questionnaires on (1) family backgrounds and (2) general information concerning. 3. Statistical Method: The findings of the present survey have been subjected to critical analysis as to the means, percentages, Cgi squares (X), standard deviations and the significance of the difference in means. Findings 1. Nursing students have chosen their subject of study with a confident outlook towards their future in society. 2. Horsing students have the necessary abilities to complete the prescribed courses of study. 3. The campus life of nursing students has been judged as very constructive, not with-standing certain in adequacies in the available educational facilities and the shortages of teaching staff. 4. The achievement levels of nursing trainees varied greatly according to their respective educational environments as well as their school years. 5. Clear and definite distinctions were discernible between the two universities as regards certain aspects of this survey, while no signifiant difference was observed in other: a. Sophomores and seniors in both universities gave nearly identical answers to questions concerning (1) motivation in choosing nursing as a profession, and (2) the way of spending leisure hours. b. Both universities revealed similar respective differences between sophomores and seniors as regards the abilities of fulfilling academic requirements ill the basic subjects. c. Educational environments have been found to be somewhat superior in the "Y"university to those of the "K" university, particularly as regard general campus and dormitory conditions. d. The high degree of dissatisfaction with the faculty, found in both universities, was considered to be a consequence of the universal phenomenon of "brain drain" and the relative neglect of the "comprehensive approach"in education.

  • 교통 사업이 사회적 이익과 효율을 극대화하기 위해서는 적절한 평가가 이루어져야 한다 하지만 지금까지는 비용/편익 분석 등과 같은 단일기준에 의한 평가만이 이루어져왔다. 그러나 단일기준 평가 기법은 정성적인 항목을 제대로 반영할 수 없어서, 다양한 계층의 이해관계를 적절히 해결하지 못해왔다. 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해서, Saaty는 다기준 평가기법의 일종인 AHP 기법(Analytic Hierarchy Process)을 개발했다. AHP 기법은 전문가들을 대상으로 한 설문을 통해 평가항목과 대안 간의 가중치를 구하고. 이들을 선형 결합한 총합으로 대안을 평가한다. 이 과정에서 AHP 기법은 여러 평가항목의 관계가 독립적이라는 강한 가정을 하지만, 실제로는 평가항목 간에 완전히 독립적인 관계가 성립하기는 어렵다. 또한 전문가로 구성된 설문 대상자가 각각 느끼는 중복도의 크기도 같다고 할 수 없다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 이러한 평가항목 간의 중복도 문제를 개선한 AHP 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 우선 중복도를 산정하기 위해 설문 대상자들이 느끼는 평가항목간의 중복도를 평가항목의 가중치에 반영할 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 3가지 모형을 제안한다. 첫 번째는 기존 AHP 기법의 가중치 산정 단계에서 결과를 보정하는 모형이다. 두 번째는 평가항목 간의 교차 가중치를 두 평가항목에 일정한 비율로 배분하는 것이고, 세 번째는 교차 가중치를 Fuzzy 측도인 Bel과 Pl을 사용하여 두 평가항목에 배분하는 모형이다. 마지막으로 이번 연구에서 개발된 모형의 적용성을 검증하기 위해 $\ulcorner$철도도심통과구간 개선사업$\lrcorner$에 실제로 적용하여 보았다.문제가 존재하나 모델추정 티에 유의하게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다 SP 방법을 사용한 데이터를 분석할 경우 다중응답의 문제(Repeated Measurement Problem)를 분석하는 절차를 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 만약 단순한 모델링기법의 추정치가 다중응답의 문제로 인해서 영향을 받았다면 반드시 모델링 추정치를 보정하여야 한다.는 규모가 큰 평수일수록 소음 IdB증가가 주택가격에 미치는 영향은 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 볼 때 본 논문에서 도출된 교통소음의 가치를 교통시설의 타당성 평가에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.기 위해서 두 가지 검증방법을 이용하였다. 첫째는 시뮬레이션을 이용한 것이고, 둘째는 실제 주행조사 분석을 이용한 것이다. 두 가지 검증 결과는 알고리즘 정확도를 보여준다. 창출을 위한 범정부차원의 기획과 연구비의 집중투자를 추진하고 있다.달성하기 위해서는 종합류류 전산망의 시급한 구축과 함께 화물차의 적재율을 높이고 공차율을 낮출 수 있는 운송체계의 수립이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 그라나 이러한 화물전용차선의 효과는 단기적인 치유책일 수밖에 없기 때문에 물류유통 시설의 확충을 위한 사회간접자본의 구축을 서둘러 시행하여야 할 것이다.으로 처리한 Machine oil, Phenthoate EC 및 Trichlorfon WP는 비교적 약효가 낮았다.>$^{\circ}$E/$\leq$30$^{\circ}$NW 단열군이 연구지역 내에서 지하수 유동성이 가장 높은 단열군으로 추정된다. 이러한 사실은 3개 시추공을 대상으로 실시한 시추공 내 물리검층과 정압주입시험에서도 확인된다..

  • 본 연구는 경남 진주시 용호정원에 조성된 무산십이봉이 전통적 축산(Mount)의 원형이자, 지형의 단조로움을 극복하고 변화와 흥미를 유발할 수 있는 설계요소라는 전제 아래 시작되었다. 또한 연구 결과가 축산되는 유사공간의 재현 및 현대적 변용에 필요한 자료 및 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이란 기대 또한 크다. 무산십이봉 축산을 통해 조영자가 추구하고자 했던 12봉우리의 상징성과 공간구성원리 그리고 시각구성상의 기능 및 효과를 조망경관적 측면에서 분석 또는 해석한 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 용호정원의 핵심인 용호지는 비보 풍수적 차원에서 만들어진 인공혈구의 전형적 사례로 풍수형국의 완결을 위한 비보(裨補)의 장치이자 용과 관련한 지명의 연계를 통해 온전함을 강화시키고자 했던 산물이다. 축산의 크기는 높이 2~3.5m, 지름 약 6~12m정도의 오성상 금성산형을 하고 있으며, 봉우리의 높이는 1.9~3.2m, 평균값은 2.5m로 밝혀졌다. 봉우리의 면적은 $35{\sim}138m^2$의 범위에 있고, 면적 평균값은 $73.4m^2$로 나타났으며 이에 비례한 체적은 $30.7{\sim}115.0m^3$, 그 평균값은 $62.5m^3$으로 추산되었다. 용호정과 소선 그리고 본채 터 및 용산재의 일치된 축에서도 알 수 있듯이 선과 속의 의미 부여를 통해 용호지를 피안의 세계로 상정하였으며, 조영자는 무산십이봉의 형상을 구현시키기 위한 의도로 호두 자리에서 대응되는 지점과 교차되도록 용의 골격을 형상화한 12개의 봉우리를 축산하고, 그 중심에 '여의주를 문 용이 욱일승천(旭日昇天)하는 형상'의 무산십이봉과 용호정을 배치한 것으로 보인다. 무산십이봉 주변 중경권역은 남북으로 금성산형의 산봉으로 둘러싸여, 용호지를 중심으로 동질감을 유지한채 다층의 층위구조를 보이는 바, 이는 유사 형태조화에 기인하며 무산십이봉의 조성 시 기획된 축산의도라 사료된다. 무산십이봉 축산에는 은폐와 노출을 통한 점진적인 경관연출과 전망-은신처이론 그리고 틀에넣기 기법 등의 공간 질서가 깊숙이 내재되어 있는데, 이는 무산십이봉 각 봉우리의 노출과 둘러싸임 정도의 다양함, 전망과 시선차단 조합의 다채로움을 통해 경관의 심도와 기대감을 높이고자한 의도가 반영된 것으로 보인다. 무산십이봉에 의해 '닫힌경관'은 흥미롭고 생기 있으며 매력적인 경관인식을 배태(胚胎)하는데, 특히 축산은 용호지와 용호정 주변에 관한 경관의 심도와 흥미를 불러일으키는 지형설계적 차원에서 매우 유용하게 작용하고 있다. 더불어 용호정에서 조망하였을 때 섬을 통해 또 다른 섬이 보이도록 하는 중층적 노출효과를 의도해 특수한 위치를 배려한 경관짜임의 결과인 12개 봉우리의 묶음이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다.

  • Objectives : Facial Nerve Paralysis is one kind of common diseases and it can be treated by natural therapy and the efficiency of treatment is relatively high. In clinical trial, it is not difficult to find patients who were not completely recovered from Facial Nerve Paralysis, so the symptoms are fixed permanently. This leads many doctors and patients to have interests in the progress and prognosis of the disease, so this study was to analyze clinical prognosis factors and verify the effects of Electrodiagnostic Test. Methods : The 378 subjects were chosen from 987 patients who were suffering from Peripheral Facial Palsy, diagnosed with Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and had admission treatment. They got Oriental-Western Medicine Treatment within two weeks after outbreaks of the disease and treated at least over 3 weeks using Oriental-Western Medicine Treatment. Results : 1. There was a significant difference in the results of treatment according to gender, age, types of Facial Palsy, existence of Post Auricular Pain, existence of Labyrinth Symptom, HBGS, and existence of onsets of recovery as clinical prognosis factors of Peripheral Facial Palsy, However, a statistically significant difference was not shown in the results of treatment according to the position of Facial Palsy(left or right), existence of a relapse, and diabetes, hypertension. 2. As a result of overall treatment, 77.2% of patients were recovered almost entirely and 22.8% were not, and the quelae of incomplete recovery were Synkinesis, facial contracture, facial spasm, crocodile tears and scheroma in order of frequency. 3. The results of electrodiagnostic test represented useful correlation to predict the final effects of treatment. Conclusion : Based on the above results, the prognosis factors, the degree of recovery, and the sequelae of incomplete recovery were analysed and the effects of electrodiagnostic test was verified.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the direction and strategy of education for sex role concepts of children on the basis of factor analysis of the present situation in sex role concepts and their formation. Although some maintain that sex role concept of our society has been changing slowly, the traditional sex role concept still dominates and is potentially immanent. the analysis of present condition of our society indicates that the formal as well as informal education are facing with various crucial problems in providing the direction of behavior demanded for carrying out the role. The close analysis of the three theories, psychoanalytic theory , social learning theory, cognitive development theory, lends a support to the laim of the study that cognitive development theory provide an integrated frame of reference for us to see the sex role education analytically Furthermore, the factors which are found to have influences on the formation of sex role have been analyzed in three areas: Family, School and society. 1)The factors in family such as parental behavior of upbringing and their concepts of sex role have a direct relationship with the nature of sex tole concept of children. Therefore, the first step to make children to habe a new type of sex-role conception appropriate for modern societies is to change that of parental conception and attitudes. 2)the quantitative as well as the qualitative aspects of school education showed no exceptional trend from the dominant conception of the society, although school are expected to lead the society as formal education institution rather than just reflect the society. The educational activities and contents such as the conceived goal of education for eoch sex, textbook constitation, teaching behavior and sex-role concepts of teacher are found to be still dominated by the traditional sex-role assumption. 3) The social factors that have direct relationship with children's sex-role formation are social and cultural, which include social milieu, condition of employment, family structure and mass-media. Since family and school do not educate the young in a social vacuum. their educational function of sex-role formation are doomed to be limited and determined by these social factors. Unfortunately, the analysis of present conditions showed the dominance of traditional types of sex-role concepts in all these social factors. The education of sex-role concept for children should be treated as one of the most crucial value problems related with many other important problems, such as direction and patterns of behaviors of each sex, the degree of self-development and capabilities, and consequently human right, equality, humanization and the quality of happiness. Neverthless, the analysis of researches on sex-role education which have been surveyed in this study lead to a conclusion that concerted effort to change the education, formal as well as informal should be provided in every aspect of social life. If the sex role education of the past has aimed at the "feminization"of girls which indoctrinate girls into a limited and fixed role of house wives, the new education in the future should be directed foward "humanization" of both sexes which opens the diversity of roles for both boys and girl on equal levels and provide future possibilities in accordance to their individual capabilities and interests.

  • Recently, many studies have reported the fact that an excessively accumulated psychological and physical burden induced from physical labor conducted routinely in home and industry can be one of main reasons of musculoskeletal disorders in the working population. This fact makes increase interests in studies to reduce a risk of musculoskeletal disorders through grafting ergonomic considerations on working environment. However, there are currently limited methodologies in quantitative evaluations of new ergonomic suggestions to reduce a risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The current study is therefore performed to evaluate quantitatively effects of a design of washing machine as a new ergonomic suggestion onto prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, through application of a biomechanical evaluation methodology. For this, three-dimensional motion analysis by using musculoskeletal models with Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), which has been generally used for a simple evaluation of a degree of harmfulness of the human body at specific working postures to be considered, was performed. The results of REBA did not give us enough information and their results were somewhat simple and inaccurate, but the results of the three-dimensional motion analysis give us enough information such as alteration of main muscle forces and joint moments required during washing work. All results showed that the main muscle strengths and joint moments were decreased effectively for reduction of a risk of musculoskeletal disorders during the washing work with newly designed washing machine evaluated in the current study, compared with those generated during the washing work with general washing machine. From these results, it can be concluded that a risk of the musculoskeletal disorders, which may be induced by a repetitive washing work, may be reduced through using the washing machine designed ergonomically and newly. Also, it is thought that if our ergonomic design can be applied for improvement of working environment in lifting and laying works conducted repeatedly for a treatment work of goods, which have a strong resemblance to the behaviors generated frequently during the washing work, a possibility of occurrence of the musculoskeletal disorders by the lifting and laying works may be reduced highly.

  • Recently, according to increase in production of pond snails resulting from the widespread organic farming, organic farmers are showing a lot of interests in the promotion of consumption and extending the market of pond snails. This study was performed to suggest the process of product development of the ready-to-eat pond-snail Mandu as a health food, to show the results of market test of the pilot product, and to investigate the change of the sensory characteristics during storage periods. For the market test of pond-snail Mandu, the survey was developed and delivered to consumers. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts such as respondents demographic characteristics, customer's perception of pond-snail Mandu before tasting, and customer's perception of that after tasting. And the market test was carried out with university students, welfare institution residents and apartment residents in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. As a result of the test, the most important purchasing factors were determined in the order of taste (49.5%), hygienic quality (12.5%), nutritional value (10%) and price (9%). And only 4.2% of respondents selected brand name as an important purchasing factor. After tasting pond-snail Mandu, consumers had suggested the better taste (t=6.986, p<0.000) and price (t=2.082, p<0.05) than those of before tasting. In response to favorable impression of pond-snail Mandu, 54.5% of total respondents evaluated positively. The favorable impressions came from iron-rich Mandu (27.6%), high protein and nutritious Mandu (24.4%), calcium-rich Mandu (17.9%), diet Mandu (13.3%), and delicious Mandu (12.5%) respectively. Sensory characteristics of pond-snail Mandu were evaluated by professional panels in terms of the softness of Mandu skin, chewiness, moistness, toothpacking, color, aroma, saltiness, and degree of plain, taste, and aftertaste. The evaluation of sensory characteristics on a 7-point scale, showed that softness of mandu skin (4.44) and aftertaste (4.11) got a low scores. The statistical difference of the tastes (p>0.05) was not founded by storage period of 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Based on the result, the improvement of these characteristics are desired in developing the pond-snail Mandu. Research method applied to this study can be useful for developing a new product.

  • 본 논문은 대구를 사례로 신도시화 과정을 경제, 정치, 사회문화, 환경 그리고 공간적 측면으로 나누어 고찰하였다. 경제적으로 대구의 산업구조는 제조업 중심에서 서비스산업으로 바뀌었으며, 산업의 특화정도는 조립금속과 정밀 광학분야의 비중이 높아지고 있으나 여전히 섬유산업위주의 단선적 산업구조의 틀을 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 정치적으로 지방자치제의 실시로 지역 간의 경쟁이 첨예해지는 상황에서, 대구 지방정부는 전반적으로 지역여건을 성장주의적 분위기로 이끌어가면서, 약화되는 지역 투자나 생산기능을 확충하기 위해 민 관 학의 연계체계를 구성하여 지역의 현안 문제를 해결하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 사회적으로 구도시 체제에서는 대규모 하드웨어 시설에 많은 투자를 하였으나 신도시 체제에서는 사회문화적 소프트웨어시설에 많은 투자를 하게 되었다. 문화적으로는 기존의 축제가 행정 편의적이고 가시적 축제였다면, 현재의 축제는 시민들과 함께 할 뿐만 아니라 지역경제 활성화에 도움을 주는 축제로 변하고 있다. 환경적으로 지방자치제가 본격적으로 시작되면서 산업기반시설과 혐오시설의 입지로 인해 지방자치단체간의 가치 및 이해관계를 둘러싼 갈등문제가 심각하게 표출하고 있다. 마지막으로 신도시화 과정에서 주거팽창과 공간구조의 불균형적 이용은 토지이용의 비효율성을 야기하고 있다. 이런 무계획적인 도시의 외연적 확산은 직주분리와 사람들의 이동의 필요성을 증대시켰으며 이는 에너지 과소비적 도시공간구조를 가져왔다.

  • This study analyzed the relationship between self-directedness of science-gifted elementary students and their expression of scientific creativity in science-gifted class. A science-gifted program on the topic of Hydraulic Machine was implemented to 34 fifth-graders in the Science-Gifted Education Center of an education office in Seoul, Korea for four weeks. The self-directedness of the gifted students was divided into three types of 'General, Scientific, and Topic-Related Self-Directedness'. The products of the students' activities were assessed by using a scientific creativity assessment formula. Qualitative research, such as analysis of observations and interviews, was also conducted in order to identify characteristics that were not apparently revealed by quantitative data. The main results of this study are as follows: First, science-gifted elementary students' general self-directedness and their scientific creativity were significantly correlated (r=.373). Second, the students' scientific self-directedness and scientific creativity did not have a significant correlation (r=.294). Third, there was a positive correlation between the students' topic-related self-directedness and their expression of scientific creativity. Their self-rated scores (r=.420) for the topic-related self-directedness and the number of activity types associated with the topic had a positive correlation (r=.350). Fourth, the students were categorized into four groups according to the levels of their self-directedness and scientific creativity, and the result showed that Type HH (high self-directedness and high scientific creativity) was the most common type (15 students, 38.5%), followed by Type LL (low self-directedness and low scientific creativity) (11 students, 28.2%). Eight (20.5%) and five students (12.8 %) belonged to Type LH (low self-directedness and high scientific creativity) and Type HL (high self-directedness and low scientific creativity) respectively. Fifth, the classroom observation of the students in groups revealed that groups with more number of Type HH demonstrated better cooperation and performance. Sixth, the analysis results of the observation were almost matched to the results of the self-directedness and scientific creativity tests. The students with higher self-directedness demonstrated active class participation and good cooperative skills. The students with higher scientific creativity had a tendency to generate creative ideas more frequently in given situations. Seventh, dynamic activities were perceived as enjoyable and exciting by 76.9% of the students, but static activities that require creativity were regarded as interesting only by 23.1% of the students. Among the students who were satisfied with both the creative and static activities, Type HH accounted for the largest proportion (55.6%). In conclusion, factors such as students' interests, initiatives, and attitudes displayed through voluntary participations originated from their own daily life can predict the degree of scientific creativity associated with the topic. Also, when students were categorized into four types according to the level of self-directedness and scientific creativity, there was a tendency of active behavior in class, cooperative skill, and activity satisfaction. This suggested that we should consider self-directedness and scientific creativity in selecting the gifted, grouping them in class, and designing and executing programs for science-gifted elementary students.
