Small islands in humid and hot climates have received less attention development due to lack of resources and difficulties for in-situ construction. This paper addresses this problem by presenting a modular system for sustainable construction of a resort hotel in accordance with the international tourism standards, in addition to, minimizing undesirable effects on nature. This has been achieved by review of literature in the scope of off-site construction and identification of the natural geographical features of Herndurabi Island. According to the information acquired, a feasibility study and design practice have been conducted to achieve a reasonable solution to equip Hendurabi Island as a sample with a self-sufficient prefabricate resort hotel. Findings indicate that the volumetric prefabricated modules would be a solution to devising a framework for design and construction in remote regions.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to describe the concept of the acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Korean medical practice and to identify the meaning and potential rearrangement of the acupuncture and moxibustion. Methods : The study was performed by analyzing 136 cases of lawsuit in the year between 1968 and 2010 which were selected among the acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Korean medical practice. Results : According to court rulings, the acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Korean medical practice is an act to diagnose a person's illness, prescribe and treat to cure based on traditional Korean medicine, to be understood as a medical care in traditional Korean medicine, to have some factor to create or increase danger to preservation of health or hygiene, and to be practiced by medical specialists based on their professional knowledge. But, such definition is not proper and exceedingly vague. Besides medical circumstances in traditional Korean medicine are changing, the enlargement of definition of the acupuncture and moxibustion is required. Conclusions : The meaning and scope of the acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Korean medical practice should be modified and amended, reflecting these conditions.

Purpose: To identify the clinical role of Advanced Practice Nurses (APN), and evaluate how other medical personnel perceive their work(difficulty, importance). Methods: A questionnaire survey was performed with 277 health care providers (APN 52, nurses 88, and medical doctors 137 [professors 51, fellows 44, & residents 42]) in a single, tertiary hospital. The questionnaire was categorized into 6 domains (total 40 tasks): 6 tasks on identifying health issues (A); 3 tasks on prescribing and conducting diagnostic tests (D); 18 tasks on disease treatment (T); 4 tasks regarding prescribing medicine (M); 3 tasks regarding medical collaboration (C); 6 tasks regarding patient education (E). The survey measured the frequency, difficulty, and importance of APN's clinical tasks, and evaluated the willingness of authorizing clinical tasks to APN. Results: The most frequent tasks for APN were A domain, lowest were T domain. The scores for perceived job difficulty were lower than those for job importance in all groups. The proportion of willingness to legally delegate clinical practices to APN was higher in A and E domains, but lower in D and T domains. However, professors, who spent the most time with APN, showed a higher willingness to legally delegate clinical practice. The participants favored medical doctors as substitutes for tasks which were not legislated for delegated job performance. Conclusion: In this study identified clinical roles that medical doctors considered possible for legal delegation to APN were identified. The results can be used as evidence for the legalization of the practice of APN.

Purpose : This study explores the professional status of Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) in Korea, who, despite being legally certified, face instability in their professional standing, including their scope of practice and compensation. Method : The study uses Flexner's professional characteristics as a framework to analyze and project the future trajectory of Korean APNs. Results : First, to ensure social accountability, professional bodies need to establish uniform nursing policies related to job roles, and healthcare institutions must adhere to these policies. Second, nursing leaders should spearhead the creation of nursing knowledge essential for the profession's advancement, aiming to establish it as the foundation for nursing practice through a consensus process within the nursing community. Third, the curriculum for APNs should enhance the quantitative and qualitative aspects of practice in response to societal needs. Fourth, professional bodies should formulate consistent nursing policies based on a thorough analysis of the healthcare environment and legal considerations, and guide their implementation in clinical practice through a consensus process within the nursing community. Lastly, guidelines should be established for professional standards suitable for the Korean context. Conclusion : Based on this review, it is recommended that all APNs adhere to the professional standards set by their respective organizations, actively participate in personal quality improvement initiatives, and fulfill their duties and roles as members of these professional bodies. Furthermore, these organizations should devise practical strategies to solidify the APN system and should spearhead a systematic consensus process that garners the agreement of all members within the nursing community.

Purpose: While regurgitation is a common and often benign phenomenon in infants and younger children, it can also be a presenting symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If untreated, GERD can lead to dangerous or lifelong complications. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been published to inform clinical diagnosis and management of pediatric GERD, but to date there has been no comprehensive review of guideline quality or methodological rigor. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed, and a total of eight CPGs pertaining to pediatric GERD were identified. These CPGs were evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation instrument. Results: Three CPGs were found to be "high" quality, with 5 of 6 domains scoring >60%, one "average" quality, with 4 of 6 domains meeting that threshold, and the remaining four "low" quality. Conclusion: Areas of strength among the CPGs included "Scope and Purpose" and "Clarity and Presentation," as they tended to be well-written and easily understood. Areas in need of improvement were "Stakeholder Involvement," "Rigor of Development," and "Applicability," suggesting these CPGs may not be appropriate for all patients or providers. This analysis found that while strong CPGs pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric GERD exist, many published guidelines lack methodological rigor and broad applicability.

Systems and processes to provide clinical education to students of nursing have been established between universities and health facilities in all countries where nurse education is tertiary based. However, systems and processes to link nurse researchers based in universities to their clinical colleagues are less well developed. When collaborations are established they are frequently based on personal networks, and while the rhetoric of the organizations encourages these collaborations, they are largely unrecognised by senior administrators in health facilities. The research is frequently "invisible" and the clinician researchers usually do not have access to appropriate infrastructure and other resources that are required to support large projects that have the potential to change practice across organisations. This situation influences the focus and scope of nursing research and limits opportunities for clinicians to be engaged in the generation of professional knowledge. The University of Western Sydney (UWS) has taken a strategic approach to the development of collaborations for research and has linked with health services in Western Sydney to establish and maintain research centres and adjunct appointments. The partner organisations jointly fund the infrastructure of the centres which include a Professor, research assistant position(s) and administrative staff. Five Professors of Nursing have been appointed to positions in one of three nursing research centres. This paper describes the approach established by the School of Nursing at UWS to build collaborations with clinical areas to promote research. This approach could be adopted or adapted by other facilities.

Genetic knowledge for oncology nurses is important in Korea because oncologists are incorporating genetic counseling and genetic testing into their practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe our method of developing the first academic cancer genetic risk assessment and counseling course for Korean nurses. A one-week (non-credit) cancer genetics counseling program was constructed for master's level Korean oncology nurses. The course emphasized basic genetic concepts and principles the genetics of cancer; hereditary cancer syndromes; family history assessments; pedigree construction; risk calculation; surveillance recommendations and treatment options ethical, legal, social, and psychological issues inherent in genetic testing. The goals of this program are to: 1) provide a comprehensive knowledge base for nurses who are currently expanding their scope of practice into the genetic counseling role 2) introduce this knowledge to nurses who want to use it in their practice; and 3) provide cancer genetic knowledge and resources to Korean nursing faculty who plan to incorporate this knowledge into existing master's courses. This academically-based course is recognized as valuable by nurses, nursing faculty, and physicians. With this new knowledge nurses can begin toexpand their role in delivering comprehensive cancer care services.

우리는 한방과 양방의 이원화적 의료체계를 가지고 있다. 한방의료와 양방의료는 학문적 원리, 진단이나 치료방법 등에서 서로 차이가 나며 이를 한방의료와 양방의료의 상위성(相違性)이라 부를 수 있다. 한 양방 의료행위의 구별기준으로는 학문적 기준, 진단방법, 치료방법 등이 있고, 양방의료행위에 비하여 한방의료행위는 침습성이 낮고, 체질성을 보다 중시하며, 높은 재량성을 지닌다는 특성이 있다. 한 양방 의료사이에서 분업적 관계가 이루어질 때 양자의 관계는 종속적 관계가 아니라 상호 동등한 관계로 보는 것이 타당하며 기본적으로 이들의 관계는 상호 분리적 독립적인 관계로 볼 수 있으므로 수평적 분업관계로 보아야 한다. 수평적 분업이라면 신뢰의 원칙이 적용이 가능하나 양자의 상위성으로 인하여 이의 적용은 제한적이며, 이 경우는 양방의료 내의 각 과들 간의 의료분업이 이루어질 때의 신뢰원칙의 적용과는 다르게 생각할 필요가 있다. 이때의 신뢰원칙의 적용은 양자 간의 업무분담의 범위, 분업이 이루어지는 의료기관들의 형태 그리고 어떠한 방법으로 진단하는가의 여부에 따라 판단할 필요가 있다. 양방에서 진단을 맡고 한방에서 치료를 맡는 형태의 분업에서 이때 양방의 진단을 의료기기를 이용한 진단과 그렇지 아니한 진단으로 나누어 신뢰원칙의 적용여부를 살필 수 있는데, 한방에서는 진단하기 어려운 것으로서 양방의 의료기기를 이용한 진단결과에 대해서는 한의사가 이를 신뢰할 수 있다. 이 경우 한 양방 의료 간의 상위성으로 인하여 양방의 진단결과에 대하여 한의사는 한방적 관점에서 환자에 대한 증세를 확인할 진단의 주의의무가 있으나, 후자의 경우와는 달리 전자의 경우의 한의사의 진단의 주의의무의 의미는 한의사가 양방의 진단결과를 신뢰하여 이를 인지한 채 다만 치료를 위하여 환자의 증세를 파악한다는 것이다. 한편, 양방의 진단과실에 대하여 치료를 맡은 한의사도 한 양방 간의 상위성으로 인하여 그 진단과실의 책임이 문제될 수 있는데, 이 경우 한의사에게 형사적으로는 진단과실에 대한 책임을 묻기 어려울 것이다.
