Purpose: To estimate the shape of root and pulp canal using a dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to evaluate the accuracy of imaging reformation. Materials and Methods: CBCT images were obtained with incisors, premolars, and molars as the destination by using PSR $9000N^{TM}$ Dental CT system (Asahi Roentgen Ind. Co., Ltd, Kyoto, Japan) and i-CAT (Imaging Sciences International, Inc, USA) cone beam CT unit that have different kind of detector and field of view, and compared these with the shape and the size of actual root and root canal. Results: When the measuring value of cone beam computed tomography concerning to each root's bucco-lingual diameter and mesio-distal diameter was compared with the value of the actual root, it reveals an error range $-0.49{\sim}+0.63$ mm at PSR900N and $-0.97{\sim}+1.14$ mm at i-CAT (P>0.05). It was possible to identify and measure PSR$9000N^{TM}$ Dental CT system to the limit $0.48{\pm}0.06mm$ (P>0.05) and i-CAT CBCT to the limit $0.86{\pm}0.09mm$ (P<0.05) on estimating the size and the shape of root canal. Two kinds of CBCT images revealed the useful reproducibility to estimate the shape of root, but there was the difference to estimate the shape of root according to apparatus. The reproducibility of root shape in the image of three-dimensions at PSR 900N is low such as 0.65 mm in a case of minute root canal. Conclusions: CBCT images revealed higher accuracy of the imaging reformation for root and pulp and clinically CBCT is a useful diagnostic tool for the assessment of root and canal. However, there are different qualities of imaging reformation according to CBCT apparatus and limitation of reproducibility for minute root canals.

액체크로마토그래피 (liquid chromatography; LC) 시스템과 연동된 radical 소거 활성 측정 시스템은 식물 추출물과 같이 수많은 성분으로 구성된 시료 중의 radical 소거 활성 성분을 확인하는 유용한 도구이다. 이와 같은 시스템을 사용하여 항산화 활성 성분을 가지고 있는 생약재로 알려진 유근피의 추출물을 대상으로 DPPH와 ABTS radical 소거 활성을 측정한 후 확인된 소거 활성 성분에 대한 질량분석을 실시하여 procyanidin B2, procyanidin B3, catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside, catechin-5-O-β-D-apiofuranoside로 각각 추정되는 4가지 성분을 확인하였다. 추출물 시료들 간의 상대적인 함량 비교를 위해 4가지 성분에 대한 MRM mode 분석 조건을 설정하여 LC-MS/MS를 활용한 유근피 추출물 중 radical 소거 활성 성분의 함량 비교 가능성을 검토하였다. 95% 에탄올 추출물을 기준으로 산출한 상대적인 함량 비교 결과에서 추출 용매의 에탄올 농도가 높아지면 radical 소거 활성 성분들의 함량이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 각 추출물의 radical 소거 활성 측정 결과와 마찬가지로 에탄올 농도 50% 이상의 추출물들에서 procyanidin B3로 추정된 성분을 제외한 3가지 성분의 함량 차이가 크게 나타나지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과에 각 추출물의 수율을 추가로 감안하여 50% 수준의 에탄올 농도가 유근피의 radical 소거 활성 성분 추출에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 활성 측정 및 분석 방법을 활용하게 되면 유근피 자체의 품질관리뿐만이 아니라 추출물을 활용하는 다양한 제품 개발 단계에서 기존의 LC-UV 검출기 profile 비교보다 활용도가 높은 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a diagnostic tool for assessing the function of the autonomic nervous system. Although studies on the HRV characteristics of the cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet have been done, no study has compared HRV characteristics of cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet patients to that of normal Korean women. For this reason, this study compared the HRV characteristics of cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet patients and normal Korean women. Methods: We studied 130 cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet patients who visited Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong from 01 March 2011 to 11 August 2013. We measured HRV of Each patient. Patients are divided into under 29 years old, 30~39 years old, 40~49 years old and over 50 years old with age. Patient's HRV results are compared to that of normal Korean women in each age group. Results: In each age group, cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet patients' LF/HF was statistically lower than that of normal Korean women. Conclusions: HRV characteristics and symptoms of cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet is similar to that of cold induced vasodilation (CIVD). So, cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet can be considered as abnormal condition that CIVD is continued. More studies on measuring of blood flow of cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet patients are necessary.

방대한 규모와 복잡한 프로세스로 구성된 공공조달의 혁신성과를 평가하기란 매우 어려운 문제이다. 기존의 프로세스 혁신 평가는 주로 설문 및 인터뷰, 그리고 운영데이터를 분석한 정성적, 또는 통계적인 정량적 방법들이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공공조달 프로세스를 복잡계로 보고 이에 대한 시뮬레이션 방법으로 멀티에이전트시스템(MAS)을 이용하여 공공조달 프로세스 혁신효과 평가모델을 개발하였다. 그리고, 개발된 MAS 기반의 공공조달 혁신평가 모델을 우리나라 조달청의 G2B(나라장터, KONEPS) 시스템에 적용하여 혁신효과를 평가하였다. MAS 시뮬레이션 도구는 Northwestern University에서 개발된 Netlogo Version 4.1.3을 사용하였고, 모델링에서는 에이전트 정의, 에이전트 행동특성 정의, 에이전트 관계 정의의 세단계로 진행하였다. 첫째, 에이전트 정의에서는 에이전트가 될 대상을 선정하고, 에이전트가 가진 속성과 변수들을 정의하였다. 둘째, 행동특성 정의에서는 각 에이전트의 행동계획 및 자원할당을 설정하였고, 셋째, 관계정의 단계에서는 상태변화에 따른 행동 규칙을 설정하였다. 또한 프로세스 혁신의 목적에 맞는 성과를 측정하기 위하여 혁신 효과평가항목을 선정하였고, 데이터는 조달청의 협조를 통해 DB 데이터와 설문데이터를 활용하였다. 이를 통해 프로세스 전체 및 프로세스별 절감시간과 업무량의 절감율을 측정하였다. 실험결과 전체 프로세스의 효율성이 증대되었으며 '평균 업무처리 건수'의 절감율이 92.7%, '평균 업무처리 시간'의 절감율이 95.4%로 나타났다. 즉 공공조달분야는 G2B 시스템 도입을 통해 프로세스 혁신을 추진한 결과 매우 높은 효율성이 제고된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 '계약'과 관련한 업무프로세스에서 추가적인 개선이 이루어질 경우 프로세스 혁신효과가 더욱 향상될 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 MAS를 이용하여 프로세스 개선효과에 대한 평가모델을 제시하고 분석했다는데 의의가 있다.

Under the current medical system, a terminal patient and his/her family who are neglected inevitably face various aspects of crises including not only physical, but also psychological, social, economic, spiritual and legal problems. Nurses often look after many terminal patents with these types of complicated problems. Therefore, educating the nurses who will take care of such patents would greatly reduce stress so the patents end could their lives in peace and without losing their dignity. This research is a quasi experimental study of nonequivalent control group. A pretest-posttest design where a basic education program is developed for nurses, who frequently treat terminal patents, to understand the importance of the role of hospice and to apply their understandings to treat terminal lancer patents. A sample of the nurses were taken from those who were working in general wards at two general hospitals in Seoul during October, 2003${\sim}$December 2003. The study was composed of 46 experimental group and 43 control group. A basic hospice education program was developed by taking emphasized and overlapping parts from advanced practice hospice nurses education course, short-term education course, an extensive literature survey and by consulting three professionals as well. With the group of 5 professors with vast experiences in oncolgy, 5 nursing administrator, 3 nursing practitioner, the tentative first version of the program was developed and reviewed. Afterwards, by utilizing person to person interviews with 2 head nurses experienced with terminal patients, 1 nurse in charge of hospice, 1 nurse on the contents of the program, and a person to person rating on the educating medium by a nurse were performed. The final version of a basic education program was developed after the second revision. The hospice basic education program consists of introduction to hospice, hospice and commucation, management of pain for terminal cancer patients, physical management for terminal cancer patients, socio-psycological caring of terminal cancer patients and management of death and separation. Total education time was four hours organized into 50 minutes of instruction and 10 minutes of break. $Powerpoint^{(R)}$ software was used as the education medium. As research tools, "Knowledge on Hospice" was developed by the author after receiving a review from one expert. "Attitude of Hospice Nursing" was revised Kim(2001)'s attitude measuring tool which was based on Wang(1998), Kwon(1989), Park and Sung(1991)'s tool. "Liability on nursing terminal patients" was used as developed by Zarits(1980) and Mongomory(1985) translated by Lee(1985). For collecting data, preliminary investigation prior to 1 week of the hospice basic education program and post-investigations after 1 week and 4 weeks of the education were carried out for the nurses at a general ward who understood and agreed on the purpose of the program. Collected data were analyzed throughout t-test, $x^2-test$, Manova test and Bonferroni correction in $SAS^{(R)}$ program. The summary of the investigation is as follows: Hypothesis 1: "Educated experimental group would possess more knowledge on hospice compared to the un-educated control group" was supported after 1 (F=12.14, p=.00) and 4 (F=5.3, p=.02) weeks of education. Hypothesis 2: "Educated experimental group would take a positive attitude toward hospice nursing compared to the un-educated control group" was supported after 1(F=3.92, p=.05) and 4(F=5.05, p=.02) weeks of education. Hypothesis 3: "Educated experimental poop would feel less liability compared to the un-educated control group in nursing terminal cancer patients' was rejected. In this study, it was found that knowledge on hospice was significantly important. By applying hospice basic education programs to nurses, the education program helped nurses to take a positive attitude toward terminal patients. It was, however, seen that the education program had no effect on alleviating liability in nursing terminal patients. Therefore, it is expected that this educational program would help hospices and nurses at general wards to understand the concept and the role of hospice so that terminal patents, now neglected under current medical system, would be able to end their lives in peace.

Background: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health-core set (ICF-core set) for children and youth (CY) with cerebral palsy (CP) provides a useful conceptual framework and a guide for health care planning and measuring the changes brought by interventions across a multitude of dimensions from body functions to personal activities, social participation, and environmental factors for them. Objects: This single case study was reported to illustrate the use of a goal directed approach in applying the ICF-core set for CY with CP from a physical therapist perspective. Methods: An eleven year old boy with spastic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level V, and his mother participated in an evaluation of his functioning state. The intervention goal was set through an interview using the ICF-core set, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). Physical therapy was carried out on an outpatient basis using a goal directed approach for 30 min, 1 time/week during 12 weeks and the boy's gross motor function was assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 version (item set 2) before and after the intervention. Results: As measured by the boy's mother, the COPM score showed a meaningful clinical change (performance=mean 3.5, satisfaction=mean 2.5) and the T-score of GAS changed 34.4 after the goal directed approach. The GMFM-66 (item set 2) score changed from 31.8 to 38.7 and evaluation using the ICF-core set displayed improvement in 6 items of activity level between before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The ICF-core set for CY with CP is useful for understanding the overall functioning of CY with this condition and provides an opportunity to share and integrate information and opinions from different disciplines. We consider it as a useful tool in the universal language for the therapy and education of CY with CP.

본 연구에서는 I-125 (35 keV) 와 Tc-99m (140 keV)에 대해 고해상도를 지닌 SPECT 영상을 동일한 검출기로 획득하는 방법을 제시하였고, 이를 몬테칼로 시뮬레이션 코드인 DETECT2000과 GATE를 이용하여 검증하였다. 제안된 검출기는 두께 3.0 mm의 CsI (Tl) 블록형 섬광체와 하마마츠사의 H8500C PSPMT로 이루어져 있다. 35 keV 감마선을 방출하는 I-125 핵종을 영상화할 때는 두꺼운 섬광체를 사용 할 경우, 일반적인 앵거방법으로는 빛 퍼짐이 많아지기 때문에 내인성 공간분해능이 저하되지만, 최대우도 함수와 색인테이블을 사용하여 감마선 반응 위치를 추적하면 내인성 공간분해능을 향상시킬 수 있다. DETECT2000 시뮬레이션 결과 1.0 mm 이내의 내인성 공간분해능을 획득하였다. 140 keV를 방출하는 Tc-99m를 영상화할 경우에는 I-125 전용인 1.0 mm 두께의 섬광체를 사용하였을 경우보다 3.0 mm 두께의 섬광체를 사용하였을 때 2.3배 이상 향상된 민감도를 보였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 검출기의 장점은 저에너지의 I-125 선원에 대해 상대적으로 두꺼운 섬광체를 사용하더라도 최대우도함수를 사용하기 때문에 분해능의 감소가 없다는 점과 Tc-99m 선원에 대해 민감도의 저하가 적다는 점이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 검출기를 사용하면 고에너지와 저에너지를 가진 핵종을 모두 영상화할 수 있다.

The construction, development and maintenance of an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable campus involves the integration of measuring tools and technical information that invites and encourages the community to know the actual state to generate positive actions for reducing the negative impacts over the local environment. At the Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Campus $Bogot{\acute{a}}$, a public area with daily traffic of more than 25000 people, the Environmental Management Bureau has committed with the monitoring of the noise pollution and air quality, as support to the campaigns aiming to reduce the pollutant emissions associated to the student's activities and campus operation. The target of this study is based in the implementation of mobile air quality and sonometry monitoring equipment, the mapping of the actual air quality and noise pollution inside the university campus as a novel methodology for a sub-area inside a megacity. This results and mapping are proposed as planning tool for the institution administrative sections. A mobile Kunak$^{(R)}$ Air & OPC air monitoring station with the capability to measure particulate matter $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, Ozone ($O_3$), Sulfur Oxide ($SO_2$), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxide ($NO_2$) as well as Temperature, Relative Humidity and Latitude and Longitude coordinates for the data georeferenciation; and a sonometer Cirrus$^{(R)}$ 162B Class 2 were used to perform the measurements. The measurements took place in conditions of academic activity and without it, with the aim of identify the impacts generated by the campus operation. Using the free code geographical information software QGIS$^{(R)}$ 2.18, the maps of each variable measured were developed, and the impacts generated by the operation of the campus were identified qualitative and quantitively. For the measured variables, an increase of around 21% for the $L_{Aeq}$ noise level and around 80% to 90% for air pollution were detected during the operation period.

The purposes of this study were to a) examine IC (intellectual capital) circumstance of CFMC (contract foodservice management company), b) identify the correlation between IC of CFMC, c) analyze the cause and effect of IC in the viewpoint of contractor, client, and customer. The questionnaires of IC measurement were handed out to 108 CfHCs, there composing of main office employees, foodservice managers, customers, and clients of 207 school, 38 hospital, and 86 business/industry foodservices. The statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS Win (ver 12.0) for descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis. First, CFMCs had operational experience for an average of 8 years and 8 months, and served an average of 38,540 meals a day. Most of the respondent companies operated 'food supply/distribution($50\%$)', 'catering ($46.7\%$)', and restaurant business ($43.3\%$)' except for institutional foodservice and managed an average of 66 clients for the contract period of 2 years and 3 months. Second, there was positive correlation between $\ulcorner$sales of foodservice$\lrcorner$ and 'market ability', $\ulcorner$client satisfaction$\lrcorner$ and necessary intellectual capital for managing branch/chain foodservice office, and $\ulcorner$customer satisfaction$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$renewal and development$\lrcorner$, 'market ability', 'infrastructure support for foodservice operation', 'employee satisfaction', respectively. Finally, the result of the cause and effect analysis on CFMCs, clients, and customers was positively influenced by 'client satisfaction' with 'customer satisfaction', 'infrastructure support for foodservice operation' and 'customer satisfaction' with 'employee satisfaction', and 'infrastructure support for foodservice operation'. In conclusion, if CFMCs were to perform a routine checkups by utilizing CFMC's IC measuring tool, improvements in CFMC operational capacities as well as foodservice quality can be noted. Additionally, CFMCS can satisfy their client-customer relationship by employing internal marketing thechniques for employee, a more efficient infrastructure support system, and construc tive infrastructure utilization. Therefore, CFMCs can show significant improvement in their sales and foodservice quali-ty though continuous maintenance of the client and customer satisfaction.
