Purpose: To identify the effects of a training program on the knowledge of, attitudes towards child infection, and infection prevention behaviors in staff of daycare centers. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design study was conducted with 34 staff of 6 daycare centers over 3 months. The staff in the 3 centers designated as the experimental centers received the training program weekly for 8 weeks. The program included on-site education for one and half hours and monitoring of infection prevention behaviors. Knowledge and attitudes of the staff were measured, and their infection prevention behaviors were observed and recorded by research assistants before and after the program. $X^2$-test, t-test, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney U-test with SPSS Win program were used to analyze the data. Results: The group of staff who received the training program recorded higher scores in knowledge, attitudes, and their infection prevention behaviors compared with staff in the control group. Conclusion: This finding suggests that the training program had a significant impact on knowledge, attitude, and infection prevention behaviors of staff which could prevent child infection in daycare centers. Nurses need to be involved in daycare centers for the health of the children, and they could intervene effectively in child infections by using this program.

Purpose: This study was to identify the relations of interpersonal attitude and communication competence of new community health nurses. Methods: The research design was a correlational study. The data were collected from 136 visiting nurses using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. Results: The type of interpersonal attitude in subjects was I+U+ and the score of communication competence was 3.6. Among 15 sub-dimensions, the highest score was responsiveness and the lowest was assertiveness. There were no significant differences in communication competence by general characteristics. Factors influencing on communication competence in new visiting nurses were interpersonal attitude I+(I am OK) (${\beta}$=.34) and I-(I am not OK) (${\beta}$=-.28). Conclusion: Education program, stressing the self-awareness, is necessary to increase positive interpersonal attitude and communication competence for reemployment of community health nurses. Furthermore, in order to reinforce assertiveness, institutional support should be accompanied with the efforts of individual level.

Results: There were statistically significant differences in back pain and lower abdominal pain between the two groups. Auricular acupressure therapy decreased back pain and lower abdominal pain in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The study results show that auricular acupressure therapy is effective in improving back pain and lower abdominal pain in female university students during menstruation. Therefore, auricular acupressure therapy can be considered a useful nursing intervention to promote improvements in back pain and lower abdominal pain related to menstruation.

Purpose: This study was done to verify the effects of foot reflexology on the self-esteem and vitality of elders. Method: A non- equivalent control group pre- and post-test design was used. Research instruments to measure self-esteem and vitality were used in this study. The participants were elderly women hospitalized in a hospital in Okcheon County, Chungbuk Province, Korea. The 18 patients in the experimental group performed 40 minutes of foot reflexology per time for a total of 12 times over two weeks, and the 18 patients in the control group received regular care only. Before and after the experiment, both groups were tested for self-esteem and vitality. Frequencies, percentages, $\chi^2$-test, t-test and Mann-Whitney U test with the SPSS/WIN 10.0 program were used to analyze the collected data. Results: Vitality of the elderly women patients improved significantly in the experimental group. However self-esteem did not increase significantly. Conclusion: Foot reflexology is effective as a nursing intervention in improving the health of elders.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a group counseling program on high school students' depression and suicidal ideation. Methods: This research was conducted as a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest control and experimental group methodological comparison study. The subjects were 25 high school students (Exp=12, Cont=13) in U City. The depression and suicide prevention program in this study was based on the Ellis' ABC Model. The experimental group participated in the program through eight sessions, but the control group did not receive treatment. Data were collected from November 4 to November 28, 2008, and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN program by frequency, Mann-Whitney, means, standard deviation and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: There was statistically significant difference in depression (z=-2.983, p=.003) between the two groups. Suicidal ideation also decreased significantly(z=-2.847, p=.004) in the experimental group. Conclusions: After the eight sessions of the group counseling program for preventing depression and suicidal ideation, it was found that the program was effective to lower the score of depression and suicidal ideation. The results of this study suggest that a school-based prevention program for adolescents should be developed according to depression and suicidal ideation level.

웹 자원이 방대함에 따라, 사용자가 원하는 정보를 얼마나 정확하게 제시하느냐가 정보검색시스템 성능을 판단하는 기준이 된다. 그러나 동형이의어만을 질의어로 이용한 검색 결과는 동형이의어 각 의미에 관련된 문서가 혼재되어 있거나, 특정 의미에 관련된 문서가 집중적으로 나타나는 현상을 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 한국어 사용자 어휘지능망(U-WIN)의 관계정보를 이용하여 질의어의 모호성을 해결하고 의미적 정보검색의 기반을 마련하고자 한다. 우선, 전문분야에 주로 사용되는 동형이의어와 보편적으로 사용하는 동형의어를 구번하여 질의어로 선정하고, '질의어+상위어' 형태의 확장 질의어에 대해 두 개의 포탈사이트(Google, Naver)를 대상으로 웹 문서를 검색하여 정확률이 각각 81.5%(Naver), 65.5%(Google)로 나타났다.

지금까지의 소프트웨어 기반 분산 공유 메모리(이하 DSM이라 칭함)시스템은 유닉스 워크스테이션 클러스터를 목표로 하는 것이 대부분이었다. 그러나 현재 Windows-NT 는 서버급 시스템과 PC 모두를 위한 운영체제로서 유닉스와 더불어 널리 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 Windows-NT 워크스테이션 클러스터 환경을 위한 DSM 시스템을 구현하고, 구현된 DSM 시스템의 성능 평가 결과를 제시한다. 구현된 DSM 시스템은 Win32 API와 표준 실행-시간 라이브러리를 이용해 구현되었기 때문에 모든 Windows-NT 워크스테이션에서 실행 가능하며 , 프로그래머는 몇 라인의 코드 추가만으로 DSM 시스템 상에서 수행되는 병렬 응용 프로그램을 작성할 수 있다. 워크스테이션 간의 상호연결망으로 범용성을 위해 이더넷 LAN을 지원하였고, 아울러 성능 향상을 위해 기가비트 SAN(System Area Network)도 지원하였다. 기가비트 SAN을 위한 하드웨어로는 Dolphin 사의 PCI-SCI 타입 제품인 Clustar를 사용하였다. 우리는 성능 평가를 통해, 구현된 DSM 시스템이 정확히 동작함은 물론 확장성이 뛰어나다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 , 기가비트 SAN을 사용할 경우 일부 병렬 벤치 마크 프로그램에서는 노드 수 증가에 따라 성능이 거의 선형적으로 향상된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문이 기여하는 바는 Windows-NT 기반 소프트웨어 DSM 시스템의 원천 기술을 확보함으로써 향후 Windows-NT 워크스테이션 클러스터 환경에서의 분산 및 병렬 처리 연구에 도움을 줄 수 있다는 점이다.
