  • 최근 텍스트와 이미지 딥러닝 기술의 괄목할만한 발전에 힘입어, 두 분야의 접점에 해당하는 이미지 캡셔닝에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 이미지 캡셔닝은 주어진 이미지에 대한 캡션을 자동으로 생성하는 기술로, 이미지 이해와 텍스트 생성을 동시에 다룬다. 다양한 활용 가능성 덕분에 인공지능의 핵심 연구 분야 중 하나로 자리매김하고 있으며, 성능을 다양한 측면에서 향상시키고자 하는 시도가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이처럼 이미지 캡셔닝의 성능을 고도화하기 위한 최근의 많은 노력에도 불구하고, 이미지를 일반인이 아닌 분야별 전문가의 시각에서 해석하기 위한 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 동일한 이미지에 대해서도 이미지를 접한 사람의 전문 분야에 따라 관심을 갖고 주목하는 부분이 상이할 뿐 아니라, 전문성의 수준에 따라 이를 해석하고 표현하는 방식도 다르다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전문가의 전문성을 활용하여 이미지에 대해 해당 분야에 특화된 캡션을 생성하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 구체적으로 제안 방법론은 방대한 양의 일반 데이터에 대해 사전 학습을 수행한 후, 소량의 전문 데이터에 대한 전이 학습을 통해 해당 분야의 전문성을 이식한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 이 과정에서 발생하게 되는 관찰간 간섭 문제를 해결하기 위해 '특성 독립 전이 학습' 방안을 제안한다. 제안 방법론의 실현 가능성을 파악하기 위해 MSCOCO의 이미지-캡션 데이터 셋을 활용하여 사전 학습을 수행하고, 미술 치료사의 자문을 토대로 생성한 '이미지-전문 캡션' 데이터를 활용하여 전문성을 이식하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 일반 데이터에 대한 학습을 통해 생성된 캡션은 전문적 해석과 무관한 내용을 다수 포함하는 것과 달리, 제안 방법론에 따라 생성된 캡션은 이식된 전문성 관점에서의 캡션을 생성함을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 전문 이미지 해석이라는 새로운 연구 목표를 제안하였고, 이를 위해 전이 학습의 새로운 활용 방안과 특정 도메인에 특화된 캡션을 생성하는 방법을 제시하였다.

  • 돈가스의 튀김과정에서 증가되는 지방량을 감소시키고자 튀김반죽에 셀룰로오스 유도체인 MC 및 HPMC를 각 0.5, 1, 1.5%의 비율로 첨가하여 점도, 튀긴 후 색도, 수분보유량 및 흡유량, 관능특성 등을 측정하여 품질특성을 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 셀룰로오스 유도체를 첨가한 튀김반죽의 점도는 속도에 반비례하여 감소하였고 첨가량에 비례하여 증가되었다. 동일 첨가수준에서 HPMC에 비하여 MC의 점도 증가가 매우 컸으며 HPMC 0.5%의 첨가군이 대조군과 거의 유사한 점도양상을 보였다. 반죽의 점도는 돈가스를 제조할 때 재료(원육)에 대한 튀김반죽의 coating성에 영향을 주어서 HPMC 0.5% 첨가군의 coating성이 가장 좋았다. 2. 튀김옷의 수분보유량과 흡유량을 측정한 결과, 수분보유량은 대조군(45.69%) < MC 0.5%(47.36%) < MC 1%(48.55%) < MC 1.5%(49.59%) < HPMC 0.5%(51.49%) < HPMC 1%(53.72%) < HPMC1.5%(56.45%)의 순으로 증가하였으며, 흡유량은 대조군(15.49%)> MC 0.5%(15.44%) > MC 1%(15.25%) > MC 1.5%(15.05%) > HPMC 0.5%(14.69%) > HPMC 1%(12.62%) > HPMC 1.5%(10.03)의 순으로 감소하여 HPMC 1.5% 첨가 batter가 수분보유량이 가장 높으면서 흡유량은 가장 적었다. 3. 튀긴 돈가스의 명도는 셀룰로오스 유도체를 첨가함에 따라 대조군에 비해 증가하였으며 HPMC 보다 MC첨가에 의한 변화가 커서 1.5% MC 첨가군에서 가장 높은 명도값을 나타냈다(p<0.001). 적색도는 HPMC를 첨가한 경우 대조군과 비슷한 수준을 나타냈으나 MC의 경우 1.5%에서 가장 낮은 수준을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 황색도는 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 4. 관능검사 결과 튀긴 돈가스의 색은 HPMC 0.5% 및 1% 첨가 시 가장 대조군과 유사하였으며 그 외에는 색상이 진해지는 경향을 보였다. 짠맛은 대체적으로 셀룰로오스유도체의 첨가에 따른 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 구수한 맛은 셀룰로오스유도체의 첨가량이 증가하면 감소하였으며 HPMC 0.5%와 MC 0.5% 첨가 시에는 대조군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 불쾌취의 정도는 대조군과 HPMC 0.5% 첨가군 사이에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 다른 셀룰로오스유도체의 첨가군에서는 약간 불쾌취가 느껴지는 것으로 평가되었다. 기름진 정도는 대조군보다 HPMC 0.5%와 1% 첨가군에서 덜 기름진 것으로 평가된 반면 HPMC 1.5%와 MC 첨가 시에는 대조군보다 더 기름지게 느껴지는 것으로 나타났다. 촉촉한 정도는 대조군과 HPMC 0.5% 및 1%는 같은 경향으로 평가되었고 HPMC 1.5%와 MC의 경우는 대조군보다 촉촉한 정도가 더 강해 반죽이 덜 익었다는 느낌을 주기도 하였다. 단단한 정도는 대조군과 MC 0.5%, HPMC 0.5% 및 1%가 같은 수준으로 평가되었으나 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 MC 1.5%에서 가장 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 바삭거리는 정도는 셀룰로오스유도체 첨가량이 증가하면 감소하는 경향이었으며, 전체적인 기호도는 HPMC 0.5% 첨가군이 오히려 대조군보다 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 돈가스의 흡유량을 개선시키기 위한 튀김반죽의 첨가제로 셀룰로오스 유도체인 MC 및 HPMC의 첨가가 효과적이나, MC의 경우는 대조군에 비해 점도의 증가가 매우 커서 동일 온도에서 coating이 두껍게 되었다. 또한 색도 및 관능평가의 결과 HPMC 0.5% 및 1%를 제외한 모든 셀룰로오스 첨가군은 첨가율에 비례하 여 대조군에 비해 명도가 감소하고 수분보유력이 증가하 여 흡유량이 적은 데도 느끼하고 덜 익은 것처럼 느끼 는 것으로 평가되었다. 위의 결과를 종합해보면 돈가스와 같이 튀김반죽을 재 료에 코팅하는 조리과정을 거치는 음식에서는 튀김반죽 에 셀룰로오스유도체인 HPMC를 적정량 첨가하면 코팅 하기가 쉽고 흡유량은 감소하는 반면 수분보유량은 증가 하여 매우 효과적이었다. HPMC의 최적 첨가량은 약 0.5% 수준이었을 때 점도가 적당하였고 색감, 바삭한 정도 및 단단한 정도 등의 관능적인 면에서도 우수하였다.

  • 재인청 출신 및 재인계통 예능인들은 전통사회에서 근대사회로의 이행기에 커다란 족적을 남겼으며, 오늘날 한국의 대표적 전통춤으로 자리매김하면서 한국창작의 모태가 되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 무용학계에서는 재인계통의 춤에 대한 관심이 미흡했으며 전통춤에 대한 연구도 기방계통 춤에만 편중되어, 재인계통 춤의 연구는 단편적이거나 개별적인 연구에 그쳤다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 재인계통 춤의 대표격이라 할 수 있는 한성준을 통해 재인계통 춤을 분석하고 그 무용사적 가치를 분석하는데 있다. 한성준(韓成俊: 1874-1942)은 일제강점기를 경유한 재인으로, 무계(巫系)와 재인청(才人廳) 출신의 집안 내력을 갖고 있으며, 중부권을 중심으로 전승된 경향류1) 춤 맥을 계승하였으며, 속칭 '화랭이(花郞)'이기도 했던그는 명고수, 명무로 한 시대를 풍미한 전통춤의 대부이다. 그는 전통춤 근대화에 독보적인 역할을 담당하여, 전통춤을 재구성, 집대성, 무대 양식화하여 자율성을 확립하였으며, 승무를 비롯한 다양한 민속춤들이 전승체계를 갖추어 오늘의 전통춤이 되었고 또한 창작춤 소재의 근원이 되었다. 한성준이 전승한 재인계통 춤의 무용사적 가치는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 국가 중요무형문화재로 지정되어 한국문화를 대표하는 전통예술의 반열에 올라 있으며, 세계에 보여 줄 수 있는 가장 한국적인 전통문화재가 되었다. 둘째, 그 밖의 다양한 민속춤과 창작춤과 함께 한국춤의 한 장르로 위상이 확립되어 후학들의 학문적 탐구의 소재가 되고 있다. 셋째, 현대화와 시대변천에 따라 사라져가던 전통춤 부흥에 대표적인 사례가 되어 민족정체성 발견과 주체성의 위상을 확립하고 전통춤 발굴과 전승에 기여하였다. 넷째, 수많은 무용인들이 그의 춤을 전승하는 전통춤보존회를 조직하여 전수활동을 통해 많은 이수자를 배출하고 보급하고 있으며, 전통춤을 애호하는 관객들에게 향수 할 수 있는 공연 레퍼토리가 되고 있다. 또한 재인계통의 한성준의 춤은 한국창작의 지평확산에 초석으로서 다음과 같은 가치를 발견 할 수 있다. 첫째, 창작의 새로운 방법론을 모색함에 있어서 근원을 전통에서 찾아 재발견하는데 견인차 역할을 했으며, 주제표현에 있어 전통춤에서 가져옴으로서 민족주의적 정체성을 발견하고자 하였다. 둘째, 전통춤 소재를 활용해서 동작 요소를 가져와 몸짓언어로 확장시킴으로써 현대 무용과 같이 장르의 파격적인 해체에 기여하였다. 셋째, 도전적인 새로운 접근으로 전통을 재창조하려는 지평을 마련하였고, 나아가 소박한 우리춤의 근원으로 전통주의적 미학을 지향하는 데에도 기여하였다. 이상과 같은 무용사적 가치를 지닌 재인계통의 전통춤이지만 드러난 문제점은 한성준류 춤의 이원화된 전승과 전승자에 따른 각기 다른 전승 양상은 전통의 다양한 전승이라는 측면에서는 수긍이 가나 혼란을 야기할 수 있다. 그리고 나머지 한성준류 춤에 대한 복원과 무형문화재 지정 등을 통해 어려웠던 시대적 상황 속에서도 우리의 춤을 지키고 견인한 재인들의 예술혼이 담긴 재인계통의 전통춤이 탄탄한 줄기로 계승될 수 있도록 정책적인 배려가 요망된다.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli.

  • 최근 독감 예측이나 당선인 예측, 구매 패턴, 투자 등 다방면에서 웹검색 트래픽 정보. 소셜 네트워크 내용 등 거대한 데이터를 통해 사회적 현상, 소비 패턴을 분석하는 시도가 이전보다 늘어났다. 구글, 네이버, 바이두 등 인터넷 포털 업체들의 웹검색 트래픽 정보 공개 서비스와 함께 웹검색 트래픽 정보를 활용하여 소비자나 사용자와 관련된 연구가 실시되기 시작했다. 웹검색 트래픽 정보를 활용한 사회 현상, 소비 패턴 분석을 연구는 많이 수행되었으나, 그에 비해서 도출된 여행 수요 모델을 토대로 의사결정을 위한 실질적 대책 수립으로 이어지는 연구는 많이 진행되지 않은 실정이다. 관광산업은 상대적으로 많은 고용을 가능하게 하고 외자를 유치하는 등 고부가가치를 창출하여 경제 전체에 선순환 효과를 일으키는 중요한 산업이다. 그 중에서도 국내 입국외래객중 수년간 2위와의 큰 차이로 1위를 차지해왔던 중국 국적의 관광객 '유커' 및 그들이 지출하는 1인당 평균 관광 수지는 한국 경제에 매우 중요한 한 부분이다. 관광 수요의 예측은 효율적인 자원 배분과 합리적인 의사 결정에 있어서 공공부문 및 민간부문 모두 중요하다. 적절한 관광 수요 예측을 통해서 한정된 자원을 더욱 효과적으로 활용하여 더욱 많은 부가가치를 창출하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구는 중국인 인바운드를 예측하는 방법에 있어, 이전보다 더 최신의 트렌드를 즉각적으로 반영하고 개인들의 집합의 관심도가 포함되어 예측 성능이 개선된 방법을 제안한다. 해외여행은 고관여 소비이기 때문에 잠재적 여행객들이 입국하기 전 웹검색을 통해 적극적으로 자신의 여정과 관련된 정보를 취득하기 위한 활동을 한다. 따라서 웹검색 트래픽 수치가 중국인 여행객의 관심정도를 대표할 수 있다고 보았다. 중국인 여행객들이 한국 여행을 준비하는 단계에서 검색할만한 키워드를 선정해 실제 중국인 입국자 수와 상관관계가 있음을 검증하고자 하였다. 중국 웹검색 엔진 시장에서 80%의 점유율을 가지는 중국 최대 웹검색 엔진 '바이두'에서 공개한 웹검색 데이터를 활용하여 그 관심 정도를 대표할 수 있을 것이라 추정했다. 수집에 필요한 키워드의 선정 단계에서는 잠재적 여행객이 여정을 계획하고 구체화하는 단계에서 일반적으로 검색하게 되는 키워드 후보군을 선정하였다. 키워드의 선정에는 중국 국적의 잠재적 여행객 표본과의 인터뷰를 거쳤다. 트래픽 대소 관계 확인 결과에 따라서 최종 선정된 키워드들을 한국여행이라는 주제와 직접적인 연관을 가지는 키워드부터, 간접적인 연관을 가지는 키워드까지 총 세 가지 레벨의 카테고리로 분류하였다. 분류된 카테고리 내의 키워드들은 바이두'가 제공하는 웹검색 트래픽 데이터 제공 서비스 '바이두 인덱스'를 통해 웹검색 트래픽 데이터를 수집했다. 공개된 데이터 페이지 특성을 고려한 웹 크롤러를 직접 설계하여 웹검색 트래픽 데이터를 수집하였고, 분리되어 수집된 변수에는 필요한 변수 변환 과정을 수행했다. 자동화 수집된 웹검색 트래픽 정보들을 투입하여 중국 여행 인바운드에 대한 유의한 영향 관계를 확인하여 중국인 여행객의 한국 인바운드 여행 수요를 예측하는 모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 정책 의사결정 및 관광 경영 의사결정 같은 실무적 활용을 고려하여 각 변수의 영향력을 정량적으로 설명할 수 있고 설득이 명료한 방법인 다중회귀분석방법을 적용해 선형 식을 도출하였다. 수집된 웹검색 트래픽 데이터를 기존 검증된 모형 독립변인들에 추가적으로 투입함으로써 전통적인 독립변인으로만 구성된 연구 모형과 비교하여 가장 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 모형을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 검증하려는, 웹검색 트래픽으로 대표되는 독립변인을 투입한 최종 도출된 모형을 통해 중국인 관광 수요를 예측할 때 유의한 영향을 끼치는 웹검색 트래픽 변수를 확인할 수 있다. 최적 모형 설명력을 가지는 모형을 기반으로 최종 회귀 식을 만들었고 이를 '유커마이닝' 시스템 내부에 도입하였다. 데이터 분석에서 더 나아가 도출된 모형을 직관적으로 시각화하고, 웹검색 트래픽 정보를 활용하여 도출할 수 있는 인사이트를 함께 보여주는 데이터 분석 기반의 '유커마이닝' 솔루션의 시스템 알고리즘과 UX를 제안하였다. 본 연구가 제안하는 모형과 시스템은 관광수요 예측모형 분야에서 웹검색 트래픽 데이터라는 정보 탐색을 하는 과정에 놓인 개인들의 인터랙티브하고 즉각적인 변수를 활용한 새로운 시도이다. 실무적으로 관련 정책결정자나 관광사, 항공사 등이 활용 가능한 실제적인 가치를 가지고, 정책적으로도 효과적인 관광 정책 수립에 활용될 수 있다.

  • 본 연구는 최근 사회경제적 이슈가 되고 있는 동반성장의 개념과 실천 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다. 이를 위해 동반성장의 정책적 개념을 살펴보고 유사한 개념인 상생협력과 공생발전과도 비교 분석하고자 한다. 또한 동반성장을 통해 글로벌 경쟁력을 만들어 낸 선진국 사례들로부터 교훈을 찾아내고 우리의 사회 문화적 특성에 맞는 한국형 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 한국형 동반성장 모델은 미국의 시장중심형, 일본의 문화기반형, 유럽의 정책주도형 등의 장점을 융합할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 한국형 모델은 공동체적 에너지를 창출해내는 한국인의 잠재력 활용, 통제와 자율의 융합형 제도 개선, 미래지향적 협력관계를 위한 기업들의 행동변화 등 세 가지 요인을 핵심으로 할 필요가 있다. 한국형 모델의 실현을 위해 필요한 정부의 역할과 과제, 그리고 동반성장위원회의 역할에 대해서도 논의하고자 한다.

  • 필자와 공동연구자들(2002)이 선행연구에서 개발한 주관안녕척도를 사용하여 한국문화에서 주관안녕에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 알아낸 연구 결과들을 개관하고, 국내외 연구들과 비교하여 시사점을 논의하고, 장래 연구할 과제들도 제안하였다. 먼저 주관안녕에 영향을 미치는 선행요인들로 ① 개인차와 인구통계 변인들, ② 개인과정 요인들, ③ 대인과정 요인들 및 ④ 한국문화의 요인으로 사회규범에 따른 행동을 다룬 연구 결과들을 개관했다. 또한 노인을 대상으로 주관안녕이 동시점에서 신체건강의 예측에 기여하는 수준과 아울러 1년 이상이 경과한 시점에서 종단적으로 신체건강이나 생사에 어떤 영향을 미치는지도 알아냈다. 본 논문은 한국문화에서 필자와 공동연구자들이 수행한 실증연구의 결과들과 연결시켜서 주관안녕을 연구하는데 따르는 이론, 방법 및 과제들을 구체적으로 논의함으로써 장차 문화비교 연구와 아울러 국내 연구에 시사점들을 제시한데 의의가 있다.
