Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the level of agreement among survey instruments used to study dementia and to determine the prevalence rate of suspected dementia using different instruments. Subjects and Methods: A total 171 subjects older than 65 in Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, were surveyed from February to October 2003. The age, sex and educational level were examined through interview surveys, and cognitive function was evaluated using three survey instruments including MMSE-K, S-SDQ, and KDSQ. Results: The cognitive function scores obtained with the MMSE-K showed significant difference according to age. For sex and educational level significant differences were observed with all three survey instruments. The kappa index, the level of agreement between the questionnaires, was 0.302 between MMSE-K and S-SDQ, 0.401 between MMSE-K and KDSQ, and 0.762 between KDSQ and S-SDQ. The prevalence rate of suspected dementia based on the criteria suggested by MMSE-K, S-SDQ, and KDSQ was 27.5%, 15.2%, and 17.0% respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that caution is needed when comparing the measured cognitive function scores and analyzing the prevalence of dementia; this is because the prevalence of dementia and cognitive functions vary according to the questionnaires used.

이 연구는 생활시간 연구를 위한 두 도구를 비교한다. 시간일지와 경험표집법, 이전의 연구들이 이 두 도구가 집합적 측정치에서 유사하다는 것을 보여 왔지만, 각 도구의 개별기록의 일치율을 비교한 연구는 없었다. 이 두 도구에 모두 응답한, 시카고 대학의 알프레드 슬로안 센터에서 행해진 500가족 스터디의 일부 표본을 통하여, 이 연구는 두 도구를 비교하고 상대적 장단점을 평가하였다. 연구결과는 시간일지가 보다 덜 편향된 행동시간 측정치를 제공하는 데 반해, 경험표집법이 일상생활에 대해 보다 구체화된 서술을 가능하게 함을 시사하고 있다. 후속연구를 위한 함의가 논의되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the instrument modification and validation processes to make existing health belief model scales culturally appropriate for Korean Americans (KAs) regarding colorectal cancer (CRC) screening utilization. Methods: Instrument translation, individual interviews using cognitive interviewing, and expert reviews were conducted during the instrument modification phase, and a pilot test and a cross-sectional survey were conducted during the instrument validation phase. Data analyses of the cross-sectional survey included internal consistency and construct validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The main issues identified during the instrument modification phase were (a) cultural and linguistic translation issues and (b) newly developed items reflecting Korean cultural barriers. Cross-sectional survey analyses during the instrument validation phase revealed that all scales demonstrate good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha=.72~.88). Exploratory factor analysis showed that susceptibility and severity loaded on the same factor, which may indicate a threat variable. Items with low factor loadings in the confirmatory factor analysis may relate to (a) lack of knowledge about fecal occult blood testing and (b) multiple dimensions of the subscales. Conclusion: Methodological, sequential processes of instrument modification and validation, including translation, individual interviews, expert reviews, pilot testing and a cross-sectional survey, were provided in this study. The findings indicate that existing instruments need to be examined for CRC screening research involving KAs.

치료장비의 정확한 정도관리를 위해서는 선량측정기의 주기적 교정이 중요하다. 국내 방사선종양학과에서 사용하는 교정대상 측정기는 이온전리함, 온도계, 기압계 및 서베이미터 등이 있다. 현재 국내 교정기관에서 권고하고 있는 교정 유효 기간은 6개월에서 1년이나 최근 제조사 및 외국 교정기관에서는 2년의 유효기간을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 측정기의 특성에 따른 가장 합리적인 교정주기의 설정이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 ILAC-G24 지침서(2) 등을 기반으로 국내 방사선종양학과에서 사용하는 측정기들의 최적의 교정주기를 설정하기 위한 기초단계로 불확도, 측정기의 사용 빈도, 사용 방법, 장비의 안정도 등을 조사하여 향후 측정장비의 적절한 유효 기간 도출의 기본 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 조사 방법은 온라인 설문조사도구인 SurveyMonkey를 이용하였으며 조상대상은 전국의 18개의 대학병원으로 이중 15개 기관에서 응답하였다. 설문조사 질의 내용은 작성자 정보, 온도계, 기압계, 서베이미터, 기준이온전리함, 소조사면 측정장비 및 근접치료용 우물형 전리함으로 구성하였고 총 64문항으로 모두 응답시 약 50분간의 시간이 소요된다. 조사대상의 과반수 기관에서 온도계와 기압계의 교정을 실시하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면 서베이미터는 6개월에서 1년 정도로 교정주기가 비교적 짧았다. 본 조사를 바탕으로 측정장치별 최적의 교정주기를 결정할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

For assessing classroom environment, numerous instruments were developed and reported the survey results for science students in science education. In this study I translated Constructivist Learning Environment Scales (CLES) were into Korean versions for elementary school teachers, and measured the reliability. The subjects were randomly selected from three departments of an University of Education in a metropolitan city. All of them were 110 students, who would be elementary school teachers. According to the survey results, pre-service teachers for elementary school have recognized constructivistly for learning environments in an actual forms. In a scale of student negotiation they have most constructivistly recognized learning environment, and moderately in scales of relevance, uncertainty and critical view while they have seldom constructivistly recognized in a scale of shared control. Also Korean version CLES would be an reliable instruments for constructivist assessing learning environments.

To improve the recovery rate of unlocated buried human remains in forensic investigations, there is scope to evaluate and develop techniques that are applicable to the Australian environment. I established controlled gravesites (comprising shallow buried kangaroos, pigs, and human cadavers) in South Australia, to allow the methodical testing of remote sensing equipment for the purpose of grave detection in forensic investigations. Eight-month-old pig graves are shown to provide more distinct identifying results using ground-penetrating radar when compared to four-year-old kangaroo graves. Two further aspects of this research are presented: information (obtained from a survey) relating to the police use of geophysical instruments for locating buried human remains, and the use of electrical resistivity for locating human remains buried in a coffin. The survey of Australian police jurisdictions, covering the period 1995-2000, showed that police searches for unlocated bodies have not successfully located human remains using any geophysical instruments (such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometers, or electrical resistivity). Lower resistivity readings were found coincident with the 150-year-old single historical burial in a heavily excavated field, in a situation where its exact location was previously unknown.

The purpose of this research is to explore the possible relationship between the successful implementation of knowledge management technology and specific organizational culture orientations. Data used to test hypothesis derived for this research were obtained from 227 responders from the Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) survey instruments and 67 responders from the Knowledge Management Technology Profile (KMTP) survey instruments representing 26 separate organizations. The OCP provides a profile of an organization's culture orientations while the KMTP provides a profile of the organization's degree of the KM technology implementation success. The results of this research suggests that employees of organization which are more successful in implementing KM technology have identified organizational cultures that embody a healthy mixture of both production-oriented and people-oriented attributes indicative of the culture orientation.
