Purpose: This study was done to identify changes in the image of the nurse for student nurses before and after their first clinical experience. Method: The participants were 108 nursing students who had not had any clinical experience. All participants had their first clinical experience for 1 week. and the image of the nurse was measured before and after the clinical experience. Result : 1) Before the first clinical experience, the scores on the image of the nurse that was the highest for the student nurses was in the professional dimension, followed by traditional, personal, and social in that order. After the clinical experience, the score on the image of the nurse was still the highest in the professional dimension, but this time, it was followed by personal, traditional and social dimension in that order. 2) Difference in the image of the nurse before and after the clinical experience showed statistical significance. The factors influencing this change were the degree of satisfaction with their major, whether the students had ever been hospitalized, and the type of wards where they had their clinical experience. Conclusion: In summary, the first clinical experience should be ideal in order to promote the image of the nurse. Therefore an improvement in the environment for clinical experience is important.

In this paper, I propose the effects of food therapy on subjects' health and happiness. The result has come out that food therapy enhances subjects' multi-dimensional health(medical, functional, self-evaluative) and their happiness. The participants were 230 adults over 30 years old living in Seoul and Gyeonggi district. To examine the effect of food therapy, the study sampled 220 questionnaire out of 230. By the non-equivalent control group design, the health levels were measured in three concepts: medical dimension, functional dimension and self-evaluative dimension. The results are as follows: First, participants who had taken food therapy for 3 months have been enhanced in their subjective and functional health level. Their subjective health enhanced from $2.80{\pm}.44$ to $4.07{\pm}.27$ (p=.000). And their functional health enhanced from $.92{\pm}.07$ to $.94{\pm}.07$(p=.035). Second, participants' happiness has enhanced significantly. Cognitive happiness enhanced from $3.39{\pm}.50$ to $3.84{\pm}.44$(p=.000). And emotional happiness enhanced from $2.76{\pm}.44$ to $3.07{\pm}.34$(p=.000). With this results, in case that people apply food therapy based on Yaksun, they are able to expect their enhancement of health level and happiness. Therefore study shows that Food therapy helps people to pursue their health and happiness improvement and suggest valuable information of a way to enhance quality of life.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the effects between the KL-Grade and improvement of knee pain treated by Korean Medicine therapy. Methods 114 patients who received inpatient treatment from July 2014 to May 2017 in the Daejeon Jaseng of Korean Medicine Hospital were divided into 5 groups by the KL-Grade. All patients received a combination of treatment including acupunture, pharmacopunture, herbal medication. They were compared and analyzed on the basis of improvement between measuring Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC Index), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ-5D Index) as they were hospitalized and as they were discharged. The statistically significance was evaluated by SPSS 23.0 for windows. Results After treatment, KL-Grade 0 group's Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC Index), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ-5D Index) improvement was $2.02{\pm}1.69$, $7.50{\pm}9.67$ and $0.11{\pm}0.15$ respectively. KL-Grade 1 group's improvement was $2.09{\pm}1.23$, $11.75{\pm}13.99$ and $0.12{\pm}0.13$ respectively. KL-Grade 2 group's improvement was $1.60{\pm}1.07$ and $14.70{\pm}14.19$ respectively. But In this group, EQ-5D Index has decreased by $0.01{\pm}0.10$. KL-Grade 3 group's improvement was $1.88{\pm}1.31$, $7.81{\pm}13.35$ and $0.13{\pm}0.20$ respectively (p<0.034). In the case of KL-Grade 4, the population was not statistically significant (N=2) and therefore excluded from statistical significance. And there was no statistically significance between 4 group's improvement after treatment (p>0.05). Conclusions The above study showed that Korean medicine treatments showed significant therapeutic effects on knee pain and degenerative knee joints, but there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of degenerative arthritis (KL-Grade).

This paper suggests a new algorithm which minimizes the bit dimension of control memory considering the flexibility for reprogramming in the microprogrammed digital systems. The algorithm can not only minimize the bit dimension but also compensate the loss of flexibility by giving a highest MOP the unique field in the process of bit minimization. Also, programming the algorithm, that result and previous works are compared and reviewed. Then the bit reduction and the improvement of flexibility are proved.

A shape optimization of a rib of a bolster of a bogie frame is attempted and a dimension optimization on upper and lower plates is also carried out for the reduction of the weight of bogie frame. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the weight reduced model are investigated by an analysis of a natural frequency and a transient analysis. The results show that the first natural frequency of an optimized model is larger than that of the lowest design value. And the results of transit analysis based on the experimental stress also show smaller value than the yield stress. Thus the optimized model attempted in this study is considered to be structurally stable and useful for the improvement of railway carriages.

Aluminium extruded panel is the most important element for sound insulation in a express train. However, comparing with the flat plate with the same weight, the extruded panel shows remarkably low sound transmission loss above the 1st local resonance frequency, which is determined by the dimension of the core structure. Preceding study showed the possibility of the improvement of sound insulation performance by properly designing the core dimension. By the proper core design, local resonance frequency shifts to higher frequency region without any reduction of bending or torsional strength and without any weight increase. Based upon this result, this study investigates in detail the design modification of the core structure of the aluminium extruded panel used in a express train under development, in aspect of sound insulation. Design result is compared with those of other developed models.

In this paper, we research a new method for efficiency improvement of a single-phase Induction motor by minimization of the stator loss. To make this, we perform winding design which is based on balanced and quasi-balanced operation condition. It gives efficiency improvement greatly but poor starting torque simultaneously. To obtain the best efficiency improvement maintaining the maximum and starting torque, the optimal winding specification and rotor dimension is determined with variation of secondary resistance, running capacitor and turn ratio. Finally, this paper gives the comparison between the simulation results and experimental results.

현재 반도체 산업에서는 디바이스의 고 집적화, 고 수율을 목적으로 패턴의 미세화 및 웨이퍼의 대면적화와 같은 이슈가 크게 부각되고 있다. 다중 패터닝(multiple patterning) 기술을 통하여 고 집적 패턴을 구현이 가능해졌으며, 이와 같은 상황에서 각 패턴의 임계치수(critical dimension) 변화는 패턴의 위치 및 품질에 큰 영향을 끼치기 때문에 포토마스크의 임계치수 균일도(critical dimension uniformity, CDU)가 제작 공정에서 주요 파라미터로 인식되고 있다. 반도체 광 리소그래피 공정에서 크롬(Cr) 박막은 사용되는 포토 마스크의 재료로 널리 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 포토마스크는 fused silica, chrome, PR의 박막 층으로 이루어져 있다. 포토마스크의 패턴은 플라즈마 식각 장비를 이용하여 형성하게 되므로, 식각 공정의 플라즈마 균일도를 계측하고 관리 하는 것은 공정 결과물 관리에 필수적이며 전체 반도체 공정 수율에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 흔히, 포토마스크 임계치수는 플라즈마 공정에서의 라디칼 농도 및 식각 선택비에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Cr 포토마스크 에칭 공정에서의 Cl2/O2 공정 플라즈마에 대해 O2 가스 주입량에 따른 식각 선택비(etch selectivity) 변화를 계측하여 선택비 제어를 통한 Cr 포토마스크 임계치수 균일도 향상을 실험적으로 입증하였다. 연구에서 사용한 플라즈마 계측 방법인 발광분광법(OES)과 optical actinometry의 적합성을 확인하기 위해서 Cl2 가스 주입량에 따른 actinometer 기체(Ar)에 대한 atomic Cl 농도비를 계측하였고, actinometry 이론에 근거하여 linear regression error 1.9%을 보였다. 다음으로, O2 가스 주입비에 따른 Cr 및 PR의 식각률(etch rate)을 계측함으로써 식각 선택비(etch selectivity)의 변화율이 적은 O2 가스 농도 범위(8-14%)를 확인하였고, 이 구간에서 임계치수 균일도가 가장 좋을 것으로 예상할 수 있었다. (그림 1) 또한, spatially resolvable optical emission spectrometer(SROES)를 사용하여 플라즈마 챔버 내부의 O atom 및 Cl radical의 공간 농도 분포를 확인하였다. 포토마스크의 임계치수 균일도(CDU)는 챔버 내부의 식각 선택비의 변화율에 강하게 영향을 받을 것으로 예상하였고, 이를 입증하기 위해 각각 다른 O2 농도 환경에서 포토마스크 임계치수 값을 확인하였다. (표1) O2 11%에서 측정된 임계치수 균일도는 1.3nm, 그 외의 O2 가스 주입량에 대해서는 임계치수 균일도 ~1.7nm의 범위를 보이며, 이는 25% 임계치수 균일도 향상을 의미함을 보인다.
