  • 한국(韓國)의 의료보험제도(醫療保險制度)는 일본제도(日本制度)를 거울삼아 서둘러 적용대상자(適用對象者)를 확대하여 1989년 전국민의료보험(全國民醫療保險)을 달성하였으나 제도(制度)와 효율적(效率的) 운영(運營)을 위한 장치가 결여되어 있고 직장(職場), 공교(公敎), 지역의보간(地域醫保間)에 형평문제(衡平問題) 제기되는 등 구조적인 과제를 안고 있다. 앞으로 제도(制度)의 개혁추진(改革推進) 노력으로 이 분야의 정책수립(政策樹立)과 집행(執行) 에 있어서 경직성을 줄이고 비용효과적(費用效果的)인 의료이용(醫療利用)을 도모해 나가지 못할 경우 낭비요인(浪費要因)이 점점 더 크게 불어나 국민의료비(國民醫療費)가 계속적으로 급속히 증대될 전망이다. 이와 같은 제도(制度)의 질적개선(質的改善)의 필요성에 비추어 최근 네덜란드가 시도하고 있는 제도개혁(制度改革)은 우리에게 여러가지 귀중한 교훈을 던져주고 있다고 판단된다. 네덜란드의 개혁안은 시장경쟁원리(市場競爭原理)를 폭넓게 수용하여 제도(制度)의 능률(能率)을 높이고 의료비(醫療費)를 절감하려는 취지를 담고 있다. 특히 의보가입자(醫保加入者)가 보험자(保險者)를 선택할 수 있고 또한 보험자(保險者)가 의료기관(醫療機關)을 선택할 수 있도록 관계(關係) 집단간(集團間) 상호경쟁(相互競爭)을 유도함으로써 효율(效率)을 증진시켜 나가겠다는 정책방향이 뚜렷히 제시되고 있어 우리의 주목을 끌고 있다.

  • 장기에너지 분석모형인 LEAP 모형을 활용하여 S시 가정 부문의 에너지 소비량 및 온실가스 배출 현황과 온실가스 저감대책에 따른 감축잠재량을 분석하였다. 2009년 S시의 에너지 소비량은 가정 상업부문에서 39.1%로 가장 많이 소비하고 있다. 또한, 가구수 증가로 인해 가정 부문의 에너지 및 온실가스 배출량이 증가할 것으로 전망되고 있어, 가정 부문의 온실가스 저감대책 마련이 시급한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 S시 가정 부문의 에너지 소비량을 파악하고, S시에 적합한 가정 부문 온실가스 저감대책을 수립하였다. 온실가스 감축 잠재량 예측을 위한 시나리오는 기준시나리오, LED 조명 보급, 에너지 대체, 녹색생활 실천, 통합 저감대책 등 총 5개 대책의 효과를 분석하였다. 2020년 기준 저감대책별 온실가스 배출량을 살펴보면, LED 조명 보급은 2020년 온실가스 배출량이 1,181.0천 $tonCO_2eq$로 기준시나리오 대비 약 6.1%의 감축효과가 나타났으며, 에너지 대체는 1,171.6천 $tonCO_2eq$으로 기준시나리오 대비 약 6.8%의 감축효과가 나타났다. 또한, 녹색생활 실천의 2020년 온실가스 배출량은 1,128.7천 $tonCO_2eq$로 기준시나리오 대비 약 10.2%의 온실가스 배출량을 줄일 수 있다는 결과를 도출할 수 있다. LED 조명 보급, 에너지 대체, 녹색생활 실천을 모두 통합한 통합 저감대책은 2020년 966.9천 $tonCO_2eq$로 기준시나리오 대비 약 23.1%의 온실가스 배출량을 줄일 수 있다는 것으로 나타났다.

  • The purpose of this study was 1) to review communal housing in the UK, 2) to consider the policy implications for elderly communal housing in Korea. The research methods used were 1) literature review about communal housing and related policy in the UK 2) field survey in the UK 3) interpretative suggestion for the proper policy implication to develope communal housing for the elderly in Korea. Sheltered housing in the UK had been developed as communal housing for the elderly with special needs since the 1970s. The type of sheltered housing were category 1 and category 2. Very sheltered housing with more facilities and meal services was added in 1980s. Sheltered housing was evaluated as the most humanistic solution for older people in the UK in 1980s. Because of the policy of moving institutional care to community care, sheltered housing became less in demand because of more options for older people including being able to stay in their own home. So new completion of sheltered housing by registered social landlords reduced saliently. Sheltered housing already totalled over half million units in which 5% of all elderly over 65 still lived and a small quantity of private sector for sale schemes emerged in the 1990s. The reason why the residents moved to sheltered housing was for sociable, secure, and manageable living arrangements. In general the residents were satisfied with these characteristics but dissatisfied with the service charge and quality of meals, especially in category 2.5 schemes. The degree of utilisation of communal spaces and facilities depended on the wardens ability and enthusiasm. Evaluation of sheltered housing indicated several problems such as wardens duty as a \"good neighbour\" ; difficult-to-let problems with poor location or individual units of bedsittiing type with shared bathroom ; and the under use of communal spaces and facilities. Some ideas to solve these problems were suggested by researchers through expanding wardens duty as a professional, opening the scheme to the public, improving interior standards, and accepting non-elderly applicants who need support. Some researchers insisted continuing development of sheltered housing, but higher standards must be considered for the minority who want to live in communal living arrangement. Recently, enhanced sheltered housing with greater involvement of relatives and with tied up policy in registration and funding suggested as an alternative for residential care. In conclusion, the rights of choice for older people should be policy support for special needs housing. Elderly communal housing, especially a model similar to sheltered housing category 2 with at least 1 meal a day might be recommended for a Korean Model. For special needs housing development either for rent or for sale, participation of the public sector and long term and low interest financial support for the private sector must be developed in Korea. Providing a system for scheme managers to train and retrain must be encouraged. The professional ability of the scheme manager to plan and to deliver services might be the most important factor for the success of elderly communal housing projects in Korea. In addition the expansion of a public health care service, the development of leisure programs in Senior Citizens Centre, home helper both for the elderly in communal housing and the elderly in mainstream housing of the community as well. Providing of elderly communal housing through the modified general Construction Act rather than the present Elderly Welfare Act might be more helpful to encourage the access of general people in Korea. in Korea.

  • Owing to the rapid growth of hypermarket/discount store formats since 1996, Korean retailing has suddenly attracted the significant attention from researchers. Before the emergence of large scale retailers such as E-Mart, Lotte Mart and Tesco Korea, there were the two retail formats who led the Korean retailing in the modern retailing history: department store and supermarket formats. Nevertheless, there has been little literature concerned about the two retail formats as a case study, while some authors have paid their attention to hypermarket/discount store formats. In addition, when mentioning the development process of retailing history, it is less likely that authors have made an effort to illustrate supermarket retailing history. In order to regard supermarket retailing as part of the Korean retailing, it is interesting to look at a representative supermarket retailer, Haitai, who was one of the subsidiaries of Haitai chaebol. Based on supermarket retailing, the company which was established as a joint venture in 1974 led a supermarket retailing in the Korean modernised retailing history. Before analysing whether Haitai failed or not, the definition of failure should be illustrated. With regard to the term, failure, in the academic world, authors have interchangeably used the following terms: failure, divestment, closure, organisational restructuring, and exit. To collect research data as a case study, the author adopted an in-depth interview method. The research is based on research interviews with 13 ex-staff who left after Haitai went bankruptcy, from store management department to merchandise department. By investigating Haitai's experiences through field interviews, the research found that Haitai restructured organisational decision-making process at the early stage when companies started to modernise organisational charts, benchmarking sophisticated retailing knowledge through the strategic alliance with a Japanese retailer. In respect of buying system, the company established firmly buying functions by adopting central buying system, and further, outstandingly allocated considerable marketing resources to the development of retailer brands with the dedicated team of retailer brand development. In the grocery retailing, abandoning a 'no-frill' packaging concept, the introduction of retailer brand packaging equal to, or better than national brand packaging design, encouraged other retailers to change their retailer brand development strategies. In product sourcing ways, Haitai organised for the first time the overseas sourcing team with the aim of improving the profit margins of foreign products and providing exotic products for customers, followed by other retailers. Regarding distribution system, the company introduced the innovative idea which delivered products ordered by stores directly to each store withboth its own vehicles and its own warehouse in which could deal with dry foods, chilly foods, frozen food, and non-foods, and even, process produce. In addition, Haitai developed many promotional methods to attract more customers like 'the guarantee of the lowest price', and expanded its own business to US in 1996, although withdrew, because of bankruptcy in 1997. Together with POS introduction in 1994, Haitai made a significant contribution to the development of the Korean retailing, influencing other retailers in many aspects. As a case study, the study has provided a number of lessons from Haitai's experiences for academicians and practitioners, suggesting that its history should be involved in the Korean modernised retailing.

  • 본 논문은 제20회 삼중전회에서 발표된 개혁·개방 정책의 심화와 이로 인해 도입된 <외상투자법>이 중국 내 한국 기업의 세무적 선택과 조직 개편에 미치는 영향을 살펴본다. 정책적 연구를 통해, 외상투자법 도입 이전과 이후의 이원화된 법적 구조와 세제 차이를 비교하였으며, 법적 일원화가 한국 기업의 조직 형태 변화와 조세 전략에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 외상투자법은 외국인 투자기업과 내국 기업 간의 법적 통일성을 높이고, 조세 형평성을 확보하여, 한국 기업들이 중국 시장에서 더욱 안정적이고 효율적인 경영을 할 수 있도록 하는 데 중요한 역할을 하였다. 또한, 미중 무역 분쟁으로 인해 대중국 수출이 감소하는 상황에서, 외상투자법이 제공하는 내국민 대우와 조세 혜택이 한국 기업의 생존 전략 수립에 중요한 요소로 작용함을 확인하였다. 향후 연구에서는 외상투자법의 장기적인 영향과 실제기업 성과에 미치는 효과를 실증적으로 분석하는 것이 필요하다.

  • Our medical care system is trying to diversify in order to meet the client's needs, and to adjust to a medical environment which is changing very rapidly. Because current nursing theory and practice focus on holistic care, health care management, education, and research, contrary to the traditional emphasis on only assisting a physician, more autonomy and specialization for the implementation of nursing are required. Considering these trends and actual needs, the category of clinical nurse specialist should be established as soon as possible. In order to develop strategies for implementing this new professional specialty, the authors conducted a field survey and literature review of the current system in Korea. As a result, various obstacles and constraints were discovered as follows : 1) There are few accredited educational programs for the training of CNS's. 2) Several hospitals already have staff designated as clinical nurse specialist (CNS) even though the term CNS is not yet standardized or adopted in nationwide. 3) The role of the CNS is not clearly understood by the medical societies, or even nursing societies. A nurse who works in specific nursing areas such as central supply, kidney dialysis, intensive care, coronary care, etc. for a long time, considers herself /himself a CNS. Based upon the above findings, the following alternatives are recommended. 1) The role of the CNS should be defined according to specified functions and authority : professional autonomy ; counselling and educating patients and their familes, nurses, and even other medical personnel ; research on improvement of nursing ; and management of the nursing environment including medical resources, information, and cases. 2) the qualification of CNS should be attained only by a nurse who has an RN license and clinical experience of more than 3 years in a specific nursing field: passes a qualifying examination; and contributes to the professional development of peers, colleagues, and others. A master's degree should only be optional, because of the insufficient of graduate programs which are well designed for the CNS. 3) The CNS should initially be a head nurse rather than line staff in order to deal with as wide an experience base as possible. 4) The nursing specialty could be divided into two areas such as a clinical field and a community field. The clinical field could then be categorized by the Styles' classification such as diseases and pathogenics, systems, ages, acuity, skills/techniques, and function/role ; the community field could be classified according to work site.

  • 대학에 산학협력 제도가 정착되었지만, 대부분의 한국 대학이 연구중심 인사관리 체계를 유지하며, 교육과 연구의 현장 적합성이 부족하다. 대학의 학술중심 문화와 인사제도 때문에 정부정책과 지원에도 불구하고 산업현장친화형 교수는 자리 잡기 어렵다. 본 연구의 목적은 산업현장친화형 교수인력을 채용하고 평가할 수 있는 인사제도를 연구하여, 한국 대학의 문화에 산학협력 풍토가 자리 잡을 수 있도록 변화시키는 제도적 기반을 마련하는 것이다. 연구방법으로 내용분석, 연구문헌조사, 사례분석, 면접 등을 사용하였다. 연구결과는 한국 대학의 교원 인사제도는 법제도에 근거하여 운영되기 때문에 대부분 유사하며, 산학협력을 잘 하지 못하는 이유는 대학과 산업체가 다른 요구와 문화를 갖고 있다는 '죽음의 계곡' 개념으로 설명할 수 있다. 이를 극복하려면 대학교원 인사제도를 혁신해야 한다. 다양한 산학협력프로그램 운영은 산학협력성과, 연구성과와 교육성과 향상에 영향을 준다. 산학협력 인사제도와 지원제도의 도입은 산학협력 성과, 교육성과와 연구성과 향상을 촉진한다. 교육성과를 높이기 위해서 다양한 산학협력 프로그램 운영, 산업체 경력 전임교원 확보 등 산업친화형 대학풍토조성이 중요하다. 정책제안으로 산업현장 친화형 대학교원 인사제도 도입 및 확산을 위해서 간접 지원정책과 제도 환경 조성을 제시한다. 산업현장친화형 교원인사 자율목표 채택 대학에 인센티브 제공, 산학협력 지원프로그램과 산업현장 친화형 교원인사 연계, 산업현장 친화형 대학교육을 강화하는 정보공개 등이 중장기적으로 성과를 낼 수 있다. 기대성과와 활용방안은 산업현장 친화형 대학교원 인사제도 개선방안을 제시, 대학 특성화 유형별 인사제도 제시, 산업현장 전문가의 교수채용 활성화를 통한 대학의 산학협력 인식 제고, 산학현장 친화형 교원 인사제도 강화를 통한 자발적인 산학협력 활성화, 대학유형별 산학협력 특성화 대학의 육성 정책수립 방향 제시, 산학연 협력 선진화 지원정책의 근거 조사자료를 제공했다.

  • 1. The purpose of this study. The purpose of this study is to plan and investigate short-term nursing education of two-years associate degree program to produce middle-level professional nurses which are needed by-society and nation. Current nursing education in Korea is divided into four years degree program, three years diploma program Even (though) there are differences in the aims of their education, the curriculums are not much different between the education for producing leaders which is its basic purpose and training middle-level professional nurses. Therefore the purpose of associate degree program lies in minimizing the waste of time and finance which are invested for long-term education for middle-level professional nurses. And also this coincide with the policy of national technical training and definite supply of nurse manpower according to health policy for effective role and ability of nurse. 2. The method of study. This is based on the study of literature, research on the actual condition and investigation of opinion- through questionnaire. L) The study of literature: Domestic and foreign literatures for two years associate degree program were studied and investigated. 2) Research on the actual condition : Current three years nursing education program was collected and analysed. 3) Investigation of opinion. The problem of curried nursing education system and the possibility of two years associate degree program were investigated through questionnaire. 3. The result of the study. 1) The trend of recent nursing education. a.

  • Objective: This study aims to measure cognitive load levels by analyzing the EEG of Koreans and foreigners, when they read a Korean text with care selected by level from the grammar and vocabulary aspects, and compare the cognitive load levels through quantitative values. The study results can be utilized as basic data for more scientific approach, when Korean texts or books are developed, and an evaluation method is built, when the foreigners encounter them for learning or an assignment. Background: Based on 2014, the number of the foreign students studying in Korea was 84,801, and they increase annually. Most of them are from Asian region, and they come to Korea to enter a university or a graduate school in Korea. Because those foreign students aim to learn within Universities in Korea, they receive Korean education from their preparation for study in Korea. To enter a university in Korea, they must acquire grade 4 or higher level in the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK), or they need to complete a certain educational program at each university's affiliated language institution. In such a program, the learners of the Korean language receive Korean education based on texts, except speaking domain, and the comprehension of texts can determine their academic achievements in studying after they enter their desired schools (Jeon, 2004). However, many foreigners, who finish a language course for the short-term, and need to start university study, cannot properly catch up with university classes requiring expertise with the vocabulary and grammar levels learned during the language course. Therefore, reading education, centered on a strategy to understand university textbooks regarded as top level reading texts to the foreigners, is necessary (Kim and Shin, 2015). This study carried out an experiment from a perspective that quantitative data on the readers of the main player of reading education and teaching materials need to be secured to back up the need for reading education for university study learners, and scientifically approach educational design. Namely, this study grasped the difficulty level of reading through the measurement of cognitive loads indicated in the reading activity of each text by dividing the difficulty of a teaching material (book) into eight levels, and the main player of reading into Koreans and foreigners. Method: To identify cognitive loads indicated upon reading Korean texts with care by Koreans and foreigners, this study recruited 16 participants (eight Koreans and eight foreigners). The foreigners were limited to the language course students studying the intermediate level Korean course at university-affiliated language institutions within Seoul Metropolitan Area. To identify cognitive load, as they read a text by level selected from the Korean books (difficulty: eight levels) published by King Sejong Institute (Sejonghakdang.org), the EEG sensor was attached to the frontal love (Fz) and occipital lobe (Oz). After the experiment, this study carried out a questionnaire survey to measure subjective evaluation, and identified the comprehension and difficulty on grammar and words. To find out the effects on schema that may affect text comprehension, this study controlled the Korean texts, and measured EEG and subjective satisfaction. Results: To identify brain's cognitive load, beta band was extracted. As a result, interactions (Fz: p =0.48; Oz: p =0.00) were revealed according to Koreans and foreigners, and difficulty of the text. The cognitive loads of Koreans, the readers whose mother tongue is Korean, were lower in reading Korean texts than those of the foreigners, and the foreigners' cognitive loads became higher gradually according to the difficulty of the texts. From the text four, which is intermediate level in difficulty, remarkable differences started to appear in comparison of the Koreans and foreigners in the beginner's level text. In the subjective evaluation, interactions were revealed according to the Koreans and foreigners and text difficulty (p =0.00), and satisfaction was lower, as the difficulty of the text became higher. Conclusion: When there was background knowledge in reading, namely schema was formed, the comprehension and satisfaction of the texts were higher, although higher levels of vocabulary and grammar were included in the texts than those of the readers. In the case of a text in which the difficulty of grammar was felt high in the subjective evaluation, foreigners' cognitive loads were also high, which shows the result of the loads' going up higher in proportion to the increase of difficulty. This means that the grammar factor functions as a stress factor to the foreigners' reading comprehension. Application: This study quantitatively evaluated the cognitive loads of Koreans and foreigners through EEG, based on readers and the text difficulty, when they read Korean texts. The results of this study can be used for making Korean teaching materials or Korean education content and topic selection for foreigners. If research scope is expanded to reading process using an eye-tracker, the reading education program and evaluation method for foreigners can be developed on the basis of quantitative values.
