In the design of general hydrological structures, it is well know that the design flood is of importance in the design of those structures. As the design flood is estimated using the design storm, the design storm is defined by the rainfall intensity itself. Though I had studied and reported many times the reports about the rainfall-intensity in my country, poorly I did not study the long-period variation of the intensity through each section in my country before. But now, in the basin area of the Han river and the Keum river, the self-recorded rainfall charts of the single storms, which are mostly above rainfall amount of 30mm and data of about 4500 with the 150 stationyear, were analyzed, And then, the intensity formula of the hourly unit is estimated using the period from 10 minutes to 5 days. The method to analyze and estimate them, and the final results will be summarized as mentioned below: (i) At first I intended to select out the homogeneous watersheds of three, one in the Han river and two in the Keum river. But I would select the northern and the sourthern river basins, and westward from Koan station, in the basins of the Han river. Also I would select the upstream area, and the downstream area including the watershed of Chungioo, Kongjoo, Chupungryung, and the Mt. Sock, in the basins of the Keum river. Finally, I could find that there couldn't in the Keum river basin. So, I decided out and analyze only river basins of the Han river with limitation mentioned above. (ii) The statistical method to select out the homogenous watersheds is the test of homogeneous variance, and it is estimated from the following equation: $$X_{k1}^2=[{\Sigma}(n_i-1)log\bar{S^2}-\Sigma(n_i-1)log\bar{S^2}]{\times}loge$$ (iii) Actually, each homogeneous watershed has individually its own intensity formula, But I would express them as the actual amount, because the equation of intensity variance is experiential and theoretical equation of the variance. Therefore the caluating equation is actually more convenient in the actual uses. (iv) This report is one of the series for me to give the basis to the actual designs. The cost for this study is provided by the Ministry of Construction. And the designs of the hydrological structures in the watersheds with limitation mentioned above may be concerned with and based upon this report.

This study is to present a Geant4 code for the simulation of the absorbed dose distribution given by a medical linac for 6 MV photon beam. The dose distribution was verified by comparison with calculated beam data and beam data measured in water phantom. They were performed for percentage depth dose(PDD) and beam profile of cross-plane for two field sizes of 10 × 10 and 15 × 15 cm². Deviations of a percentage and distance were obtained. In energy spectrum, the mean energy was 1.69 MeV. Results were in agreement with PDD and beam profile of the phantom with a tolerance limit. The differences in the central beam axis data 𝜹₁ for PDD had been less than 2% and in the build up region, these differences increased up to 4.40% for 10 cm square field. The maximum differences of 𝜹₂ for beam profile were calculated with a result of 4.35% and 5.32% for 10 cm, 15 cm square fields, respectively. It can be observed that the difference was below 4% in 𝜹₃ and 𝜹₄. For two field sizes of 𝜹_50-90 and RW₅₀, the results agreed to within 2 mm. The results of the t-test showed that no statistically significant differences were found between the data for PDD of 𝜹₁, p>0.05. A significant difference on PDD was observed for field sizes of 10 × 10 cm², p=0.041. No significant differences were found in the beam profile of 𝜹₃, 𝜹₄, RW₅₀, and 𝜹_50-90. Significant differences on beam profile of 𝜹₂ were observed for field sizes of 10 × 10 cm², p=0.025 and for 15 × 15 cm², p=0.037. This work described the development and reproducibility of Geant4 code for verification of dose distribution.

양성자 치료를 위해서는 Snout이 부착된 받침대(gantry)를 사용하는데 빔의 형태를 만들기 위해 환자 종양의 크기와 거리에 맞게 황동 차폐체(aperture)가 많이 사용된다. 또한 빔의 거리를 보정하기 위해 PMMA를 이용한 거리 보상체도 사용된다. 이렇게 황동으로 만들어진 차폐체의 경우 가공하는데 많은 시간이 소요되며 비용 발생이 높다. 또한 치료 사용되었던 차폐체의 방사선 노출에 따라 재사용이 어렵다. 이러한 단점을 보안하기 위해 황동 차폐체 대신 X-선 치료에서 사용되는 수동형 다엽 콜리메이터 시스템을 도입하였다. 수동형 다업 콜리메이터는 여러 개의 황동판을 조립하여 차폐체를 제작하는 방식이다. 본 연구는 제작된 수동형 다엽 콜리메이터의 방사화 실험 및 필름을 이용해 선량측정을 진행하였다. 다엽 콜리메이터를 투과한 2차 발생 선량 1% 이하였으며, 여러 번의 230 MeV의 빔에서도 방사화가 2시간 이내에서 감소하였다. 이렇게 개발된 수동형 다엽 콜리메이터를 임상에 적용하여 일반 차폐체와 수동형 다엽 콜리메이터를 감마지표 분석을 했을 시 99.74%의 높은 일치도가 측정되었다. 또한, 일반 황동 차폐체에 비해 수동형 다엽 콜리메이터를 제작하는데 소요되는 비용과 시간을 1/10 이상 단축시킬 수 있다. 개발된 수동형 다엽 콜리메이터는 성공적으로 양성자 환자치료에 사용하고 있다.

목적 : 초, 중, 고등학생들을 대상으로 실시한 집단뇨 검사의 전반적인 분석에 대한 연구 결과들은 여러 연구자들에 의해 지속적으로 보고되었으나, 단독 단백뇨(isolated proteinuria)에 대한 연구는 소수에 불과하다. 국내에서는 매년 전체학생의 0.3-0.5% 정도를 차지하는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 단백뇨는 과도한 양의 단백이 소변으로 배출되는 것으로, 증상이 없는 환자에서 발견된 단백뇨는 심각한 신장질환이나 전신 질환의 초기 발현이거나 혹은 임상적으로 의미 없는 일시적인 소견일 수 있다. 그러나 지속적인 단백뇨의 경우는 향후 진행성 신질환의 경과를 취하는 경우가 적지 않으므로 진단 당시 정확한 검사 및 지속적인 외래 추적 관찰이 필수적이다. 이에 저자들은 부산 경남지방에 거주하는 초, 중, 고등학교 학생들 중학교 신체검사에서 우연히 발견된 단독 단백뇨를 주소로 본 원을 방문하였던 학생들을 대상으로, 단독 단백뇨의 원인을 규명하고, 전국적인 자료 구축의 기본적인 데이터를 제공하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 2002년 4월부터 2003년 8월까지 학교 신체 검사에서 발견된 소변 검사상의 이상 소견을 주소로 부산백병원 소아과를 방문하였던 학생 중 단독 단백뇨의 소견을 보였던 초, 중, 고등학생 44명을 대상으로 전향적으로 조사하였다. 성별은 남자가 15명, 여자가 29명으로 남녀 비는 1:1.93이었다. 연령은 7세부터 16.9세까지로 평균 연령은 12.0세였다. 모든 학생들은 소아신장학회의 프로토콜에 의거하여 검사를 시행하였다. 결과 : 단독 단백뇨를 보였던 44명 학생들에서 단백뇨의 원인적 분석 결과는 일시적 단백뇨가 4례(9.1%), 기립성 단백뇨가 36례(81.8%), 지속성 단백뇨가 4례(9.1%)로, 기립성 단백뇨가 가장 많았다. 본원에 의뢰된 학생들의 학교 신체검사상에서의 단백뇨 정성검사(urine dipstick test) 결과를 보면, 전체적으로 2+가 24례(54.5%)로 가장 많았으며, Trace와 3+가 각각 6례, 1+ 5례, 4+ 3례였다. 기립성 단백뇨 군에서는 2+가 21례(58.3%)로 가장 많았다. 24시간 채집뇨상의 총단백량은 일시적 단백뇨 군에서는 평균 $121.0{\pm}136.4\;mg$이었고, 기립성 단백뇨 군은 평균 $179.1{\pm}130.0\;mg$, 지속성 단백뇨 군은 $1,532.8{\pm}982.5\;mg$이었다. 기립성 단백뇨 군에서는 24시간 채집뇨상의 총단백량의 범위가 40 mg에서 616 mg까지로 비교적 넓은 범위를 나타내었다. 단회뇨를 이용하여 측정한 PCR은 일시적 단백뇨군에서는 평균 $0.10{\pm}0.01$이었고, 기립성 단백뇨군은 평균 $0.61{\pm}0.61$, 지속성 단백뇨 군은 평균 $4.35{\pm}4.04$이었다. 기립성 단백뇨 군에서는 PCR의 범위가 0.09에서 2.32까지의 편차를 나타내었다. 지속성 단백뇨를 보이는 경우가 4례에서 관찰되었다. 이들 모두는 1년 동안 계속하여 단백뇨가 나타났으며, 결국 신조직 검사를 시행하였다. 1례는 미세병변이었고, 나머지 2례는 막증식성 사구체 신염이였으며, 나머지 1례는 신유전분증이었다. 결론 : 단백뇨의 검출은 신장질환의 존재를 확인해 줄 뿐만이 아니라 지속적인 단백뇨는 진행성 경과의 위험성을 동시에 암시해 주는 매우 유용한 지표이다. 본 연구 결과 학교 신체 검사상에서 발견된 단독 단백뇨의 주된 원인은 기립성 단백뇨로 81.8%를 차지하였다. 그러나 지속성 단백뇨의 경우 비록 9.1%의 빈도를 보였지만, 신장 조직검사를 시행한 결과 진행성 경과를 취할 수 있는 막 증식성 사구체 신염과 매우 희귀한 증례인 신유전분증 등으로 진단됨으로써 지속성 단백뇨의 경우 정확 진단적 접근이 필수적임을 알 수 있다. 기립성 단백뇨의 경우는 간단한 소변 검사만으로도 진단이 가능하므로 필요하지 않은 검사의 무분별한 시행이나 신장 질환에 대한 막연한 불안감을 해소할 수 있다. 초, 중, 고등학생을 대상으로 시행하고 있는 집단 소변 검사는 예방적인 차원에서의 의료 관리의 전형적인 사례로 볼 수 있다. 이의 성공적이면서도 확고한 정착을 위해서는 각 지역을 중심으로 시행되어진 자료의 수집과 관리를 일원화하는 작업이 요구되고 있다. 이를 통해 얻어진 자료들의 통계적 분석과 다양한 예시들은 소아 신질환의 관리의 귀중한 이정표를 제시해 줄 것이다.

This survey study was aimed at identifying the degree of educational need of the KNOU(Korea National Open University) nursing students defined as admission purposes, satisfaction of distance learning education, learning methods, and courses after graduation. Among randomly assigned 1000 students, 320 KNOU nursing students who allowed to participate in the study completed the questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and t-test, Results of this study were as follows : 1. The admission purposes of the KNOU nursing students were 'in order to get a bachelor's degree(83.8%)', 'to acquire knowledge for task(61.3%)', or 'to be admitted for the graduate school (53.1%)' etc. Comparing the admission purposes by age, tow items- 'to explore new possibilities for myself' and 'excellent curriculum' showed statistically significant differences. These two items were also found to show significant differences by marital status. 2. For the media maintenance, the results showed that students use their own cassett radios(96.3%), VTR(49.4%), TV only for the study (44.1%), personal computer (3.31%), or joining Hitel (6.3%). 3. Listening rates of the radio lecture were 'over 80%(9.1%)', '50-80%(9.1%)', '20-50%(18.1%)', 'below 20%(30%)' and 'never(33.1%)', And record lecture showed listening rates as follows : 'over80%(17.2%)', '50-80%(15.9%)', '20-50%(24.4%)', 'below 20%(27,2%)' and 'never(14.4%)'. 4. The difficulties with KNOU life were 'listening radio lectures(38.8%)', studying by following teaching schedules (37.8%)', 'isolated self-study(10.3%)', and 'appearance in the attending classes(8.1%)'. 5. As for satisfaction with teaching methods, the data showed that 81.2% of the respondents were satisfied (or very satisfied) with 'attending classes' and 75%, with 'paper lectures'. On the other hand some of respondents were very dissatisfied with 'recorded lecture(12.8%)' and 'radio lecture(10.9%)' 6. The results also showed that the students want to have 'video conferencing lecture(77.2%)', 'cable TV(64.1%)' and 'CD ROM program' to improve learning effects. 7. Concerning learning attitudes, 48.8% of the students reported 'study mainly for examnination', and only 4.1% answered 'study every day with plan'. The learning attitude showed significant differences by marital status and age. The students also evaluated themelves as 'study very hard(5.9%)', 'study hard in general(41.6%)', 'study a little(40.3%)' and 'study little(11.9%)'. 8. The students responded the most effective learning material was the 'textbook (92.2%)'. 9. For the purposes of using the local center, the results showed 'for the attending classes(76.3%)', 'for the use of references(14.7%)', and 'for the study group(66.7%)'. 10. The results revealed that 20.3% of the respondents had ever experienced unregistration or temporary withdrawal, and 53.4% among them did not register more than one time. The most common reason for the unregistration was 'due to family affairs or their job (70.8%)'. 11. 88.1% of the respondents answered 'they will graduate without fail'. 12. Regarding the benefits from the KNOU graduation, respondents indicated 'graduate school admission(38.1%)', 'self-confidence in social life(17.5%)', and understanding social problems (10.9%)'. 13. 64.4% of the students showed that they have intention to enter the graduate school. The item 'changing work place' showed statistically significant differences by marital status and age.

This study deals with the current medical utilization for migrant workers and the characteristics of them. The purpose of this study is to provide the basic information to establish proper medical policy. For the study self-made questionnaire was used, which was answered by 453 migrant workers working in the area of manufacturing and non-technical work in 10 cities like Seoul, Inchon, Namyangju, Sungnam, Kwangju, Pyungchon, Kunpo, Kimpo, Masuk in Kyungki-do and Chunan in Chungchungnam-do. Besides, 303 medical records of those who had visited free medical check-up center were analyzed. The period of accumulating data is 6 months, from November 1st, 1996 to April 30th, 1997. The characteristics of migrant workers and current medical utilization are analyzed by percentage and the relation between characteristics and current medical utilization were analyzed using ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA. The finding of this study was as follows : 1) The number of nationality was 16. The first majority was Philippians as 32.0%. Among 16 nationalities Southeastern and Northern Asians were 48.9%, Southwestern Asian was 46.5%, the rest was 7.3%. Men were 81.0%, those who are aged from 26 to 30 were 39.0%, Graduatee from high school 92.7%, Christians 56.3%, unmarried 55.4% and salary from 600,000 Won to 800,000 Won 53.8% averaging monthly payment 669,810 Won. As for their residence, those who resided over 3 years were 31.9% and the illegal residence reached 77.4%. As for Korean language, those who speak in middle level were 5.6%. 2) As for kind of work and circumstances, manufacturing was 81.1%, 4 off-days per month 72.2% and 9-10 working hours per day 42.1%. As for accommodation, residence in fabric was 62.6% and one or two members as roommate 40.2%. 3) The characteristics of health behavior showed that 89.4% of migrant workers had 3 meals, 70.9% of them did not drink alcohol, 73.5% of them did not smoke. 4) As a characteristic of health status, 71.8% of them perceived of their health. 76.1% thought that they had no illness before coming Korea. Among them who recognized their illness, those who had problem in circulatory system was 35.3%, respiratory system ENT 19.1% and nervous system 19.1%.66.2% of those having illness had already had sickness when coming to Korea. 5) During last one month, 79.2% of them were known as ones having no illness. Among the sick, those who had problem in circulatory system was 31.6%, nervous system 23.7% and respiratory system 21.1%. 60.3% of the sick were not cured at that time. 6) Sorting the symptom of those who visited free medical check up, dental care was 24.2%, orthopedic 14.0% and digestive system 13.8%. Teethache was 34.4%, stomach problem 11.6%, upper respiratory inflammation 10.2% and back pain 5.9%. Averagely they visited free medical check up 1-2 times. According to symptom, epilepsy 25.5 times, heart and vascular disease 9 times, constipation 2.8%, neurosis 2.38 times and stomach problem 2.34 times. 7) The most frequently visited medical service by migrant workers was hospital. The most mentioned reason was good healing as 36.3%. The medical service satisfied migrant workers mostly was hospital as 64.3%. The reason of satisfaction was also good healing as 45.9%. 8) 77.2% of respondents did not spend money for medical check. Average monthly medical cost was 25,100 Won, 3.7% of income. Those who had no medical security was 73.4%. In their case, 67.7% got discount from hospital or support from working place and religious organization. 9) As for the difference of medical utilization according for the characteristics of migrant workers, legal workers and no-Korean speaker used hospital more frequently. 10) Those who were satisfied most of all with the service of hospital were female workers, hinduists and buddhists, legal workers or manufacture workers. 11) Christians, those who have 3 meals or recognize themselves as healthy ones mostly had no illness. As a result, the most of migrant workers in Korea are from Asia. They are good educated but are working in manufacturing and illegal. Their average income is under 700,000 Won which in not enough for medical cost. They have no medical security and medical fee is supported by religious organization or discounted. Considering these facts the medical policy by government is to be established.

The family value is expected to play a crucial role in adjusting a new environment for the family, especially in the critical situation as having a child with cancer in the family. The purpose of the study was to analyze the family values of the family with cancer children in order to offer descriptive data, which will facilitate family adjustment with cancer children. The survey was conducted from July 18, 2000 to August 30, 2000 and the analysis included 309 parents of the children who have been diagnosed as cancer, 18 years of age or less, and treated either hospitalized or at the outpatient clinics. Two instruments were used to measure family value. The modified form of General family value scale was 18 items with a 5 points of Likert response format (Cronbach alpha= .78) and Family value scale was developed for the study with 12 items on a 5 points of Likert response format(Cronbach alpha= .73). The data analysis utilized SAS 6.12 for percentage, frequency, Mean, and t-test of demographic characteristics and mean, F score, ANOVA, and Duncan follow-up test of variable relationships. The study findings were as follows. 1) In General family value, the fathers gave the higher scores to 'The children should live with their parents'(M=4.01), and 'A parents and their children are like one body' (M=3.91). The item with lowest score was 'Its not impossible for man to have extramarital relationship'(M=1.92). The mothers thought the most important items were 'A parents and their children are like one body'(M=3.79), and 'A wife needs to be patient to keep harmony of the family' (M=3.56), and the item with lowest score was 'Its not impossible for man to have extramarital relationship'(M=1.44). 2) The mean scores of the mothers were higher than the fathers for all items in family value with cancer children, while fathers gave more points for items in general family value. Both of parents gave the highest score to 'The health of the family is most important to me'(M=4.85 for fathers, M=4.97 for mothers), and followed by 'The husband and wife need to be patient and understand each other to overcome the difficulties'. The item with lowest scores was 'The parents can have conflicts in making decisions since their child was sick'(M=3.34 for fathers, M=3.37 for mothers). 3) There were significant differences between fathers and mothers in items of General family value; fathers gave more points to the items of 'The children should live with their parents', 'Its essential to hold the ceremony to respect their forefathers', 'Its not impossible for man to have extramarital relationship', 'A woman with two daughters should have one more baby to succeed the generation', 'The husbands are responsible for the household economy', and 'When his mother and wife dont get along, the man should be on his mothers side'. However, there was no significant difference between fathers and mothers in items of Family value with cancer children. 4) The general family value was significantly different by the birth order of cancer children, mothers age, mothers education level, and types of payment. On the other hand, the family value with cancer children was significantly different by the age of cancer children, period of illness, period after completing treatment, family type, the number of family members, and the number of total children.
