  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and correlated factors of high myopia in 19 year-old men in Southeast Korea. Methods: This retrospective study was based on the medical checkup data of conscription during 2005. The study subjects were 19 years old men in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongsangnam-do. The health checkup data of the conscripts consisted of noncycloplegic autorefraction test, the biometric data and social factors. To analyze the social and biometric effects, we classified the biometric factors into 4 or 5 groups and the social factors into 3 groups. High myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent of under -6.0 diopter. Data analysis was performed using the chi square test for trends and multiple logistic regression analysis. The SAS(version 9.1) program was used for all the analyses. Results: The prevalence of high myopia was 12.39% (6256 / 50 508). The factors correlated with high myopia were the residence area (OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.77 to 2.4 for small city; OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.72 to 2.34 for metropolis; the reference group was rural area), academic achievement (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.34 to 1.53 for students of 4-and 6-year-course university; the reference group was high school graduates & under) and blood pressure (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.10 to 2.16 for hypertension; OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.17 for prehypertension; OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.20 for hypotension; the reference group was normal blood pressure). Conclusions: More than one tenth of the young men were high myopia as one of the risk factor for visual loss. Further studies on high myopia and its complications are needed to improve eye health in Southeast Korea.

  • 본 연구는 1986년도에 한국과학기술대학 조기진학을 위해 1학년 과학영재들에게 초고속 속진학습을 동년 4월 1일부터 9월 26일까지 약 170여 일 동안 791 시간의 특별 프로그램을 투여하고 9월 입학시험에 응시한 8명의 대상자 중 설문에 응답한 6명의 학생들을 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 조기진학 특별 프로그램을 받은 과학영재들이 지난 17년 동안 어떤 과정을 거쳐 현재에 와 있는지를 알아보고, 17년 후 현재의 성취 정도를 파악하며, 자신이 받은 속진학습에 대해서 어떻게 평가하고 있는지에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 또한 그들은 자신의 성취의 요인을 무엇으로 보는지에 대해 알아보고, 이를 통하여 고교 과학영재의 초고속 속진학습의 가능성을 확인해보고 앞으로의 과학영재교육의 방향을 모색하고자 한다. 연구 결과 3명은 박사학위를 받고 연구소의 연구원, 교수로 성취하였고 나머지 3명은 석사학위를 받은 후 연구소의 연구원으로 근무하고 있었다. 이들의 연구업적은 분야에 따라 편차가 크나 연구업적이 큰 3명의 경우에는 25-28세에 SCI급 국제 저널에 논문을 낼 정도로 성취하였다. 특히 두 사람의 경우는 삼성그룹 기술논문경진대회 기게 화학분야 최우수상 수상, 국내 최초 IMT2000 상용 모뎀 칩 개발 등 두드러진 성과를 거두기도 하였다. 또한 한 명은 하버드 대학으로 대학을 옮겨 물리학을 전공하고, UCLA에서 법학을 전공하여 법대교수로 재직하고 있다. 자신이 받은 초고속 속진학습에 대한 평가에서 김덕영은 선행연구에서 고교과정 2년을 단축하는 특별 프로그램 운영은 필요한 것이고, 학습 성취는 물론 정서적 적응상태의 확인을 통해서 초고속 속진학습이 성공적이라고 주장하였다. 그러나 17년이 지난 지금 연구 대상자들의 반응은 긍정적인 면 보다는 부정적 시각이 많았다. 특히 조기진학을 위한 특별프로그램 참여자 중에서 첫 해에 합격한 학생들은 프로그램 참여가 자신감을 비롯한 인생에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다고 생각하나 불 합격생은 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다고 여기고 그 중에 한 명은 지금까지도 많이 후회하고 있다고 언급했다. 따라서 세심한 판별과정을 거쳐 능력 있는 과학영재를 조기에 발굴하여 체계적으로 속진교육을 한다면 과학영재들의 성취를 위해서 초고속 속진학습이 아닌 한속진학습은 반드시 필요하다. 앞으로 17년이 지난 후에 이들 과학영재들에 관한 종단연구는 다시 진행될 것이다.

  • This study aimed at investigating the level of high school students' entrance exam stress and mental health first and also investigating if the entrance exam stress and mental health are related to gender, grade, character type, parenting style and economic status. This is expected to be used as a fundamental data for the development of health education program on high school students' stress and diagnosis of their mental health. To achieve those goals above, the questionnaire was used and the sample consisted of 600 students from general high schools in a large city, C and in a smaller city, A in Chungnam province through questionnaire and the conclusion, which was based on 582 proper questionnaires from the 600 questionnaires, through variable analysis, correlation analysis and multi-regression, is below. First, according to the information provided by respondents, the result showed the relationship between those background variables and the entrance exam stress and mental health level. As the students are more introverted and the parenting style is more authoritative, the entrance exam stress is higher and the mental health level is higher as the parenting style is more authoritative and the economic status is lower. In gender, the entrance exam stress level was high for male students in regard to parents pressure. For female students, it was due to the insufficient free time. In test performance, the good grade group showed high stress level when they don't have enough free time and the poor grade group showed high stress level when they have test tension and poor test performance. In character style, the introverted group showed high stress level in future uncertainty. In parenting style, the authoritative group showed significantly high level in all four sub-factors and there is no significant relationship with the stress level and economic statue. Female students reported higher mental health level than male students in somatization and depression. In academic achievement, the poor grade group showed high level in obsession, fear-anxiety and psychotism. In character style, the introverted group showed high level in sensitivity towards others and depression. And in parenting style, the authoritative group is higher in 9 sub-factors than the other two groups in the factor, economic status. The lower economic status group showed high mental health problem level in this order; in obsession, sensitivity towards others, depression, paranonia and psychotism. Second, the results revealed that there is a significant difference among the groups after comparing and analyzing the relationship between the mental health level according to the three groups, the first, second and third group divided by the degree of entrance exam stress. And the higher the entrance exam stress is, the higher the mental health problem level is. Verification showed that there was obvious difference among the groups. the entrance exam stress was positively correlated with the mental health level. The lack of free time, future uncertainty, test anxiety/poor test performance and parents pressure, these factors, in that order, were correlated with the mental health level. when the prediction variables which influenced on mental health are analyzed, test-anxiety/poor test performance was found to be related to mental health most. And after the factor, test-anxiety, future uncertainty and the lack of free time were listed(ranked), however results did not show any correlation with parents' pressure.

  • 대한의료법학회는 지난 20년 동안 의료법 관련 학회의 향도로서, 학술활동과 그 축적된 업적, 그리고 학회 회원 구성의 다양성 및 전문성, 학계에 미치는 영향력 면에서 전문학술단체의 역할을 충실히 수행해 왔다. 대한의료법학회의 활동과 학술지 『의료법학』은 의료법학 관련 학술정보 및 의견교류의 플랫폼으로 기능하고 있다. 의료과오로 인한 갈등과 분쟁이 잦아지고 증가하는 상황, 의료에 대한 법제화와 법적 강제가 의료인을 직업수행에 압박으로 다가오는 상황 속에서 『의료법학』은 시작되었다. 의학과 법학의 조우와 융합을 통해서 서로 상생하는 방안을 찾고자 노력했던 것이다. 의료형법은 생명 및 신체보호의 영역에서 발생하는 전통적인 범죄에서 더 나아가 생명의료기술의 발전에 따른 생명윤리위반 행위와 의료영역에서의 부패 및 경제범죄 등으로 넓어지고 있다. 의료법학은 의료, 보건, 생명윤리, 생명과학기술 등에서 제기되는 법적 문제를 다루는 포괄적 법영역으로 발전하였다. 법적인 측면에서 보면 민법, 행정법, 형법, 사회법, 민·형사소송법 등 전통적인 법영역이 독립적이거나 중첩적으로 관련된 영역으로서 독자적인 법영역은 아니다. 그러나 이제는 법학 내에서의 여러 분야뿐만 아니라 의학, 생명윤리, 생명과학 등과의 융합법학으로서 자리하게 되었다. 법학, 의학, 윤리학, 사회학, 경제학 등 협업이 필요한 영역이 되었다. 의료형법은 지난 20년간 역동적인 발전을 거듭했다. 의학과 의료기술발전에 따라 새롭고 혁신적인 진단 및 치료방법을 제공하고 있다. 생명공학·유전공학과 의학의 혁명적 발전이 가져온 성과와 위험은 병존한다. 질병퇴치와 건강개선이라는 인류가 바라던 눈부신 성과가 있는 반면 원치 않은 부수적 효과와 인간에 대한 위험이 야기된다. 윤리적 및 법적 원칙들을 재고해야 할 필요성이 대두된다. 환자의 주체성과 자율성의 발견과 발전은 의사와 환자의 관계를 변화시켰다. 더 나아가 환자·의사·보험이라는 삼각관계로 법적인 문제도 복잡해진 것이다. 법제화의 필요성이 대두되는 이유다. 형사처벌 규정도 필요하다. 의료법 및 (생명)의료관계법령은 충분한 제·개정절차가 진행되기보다는 사회적 이슈와 시민의 요구, 의료인 등 이익단체의 요구가 있을 때마다 행해지는 모자이크식 입법으로 체계성과 정합성이 흠결되어 있다. 재정비가 필요한 부분인데, 이것이야말로 학회의 장점인 학제 간 협업으로 가능한 일이다.

  • Anatomy is one of the basic subjects of the nursing course, which is included in the curriculum of the nursing. Anatomy is a basic course for understanding major in nursing and it is the first gateway to acquire expertise. It is mainly opened in nursing and first to second grades. Therefore, students who have advanced to the nursing department have great interest and expectation on the anatomy subjects. In general, nursing students are studying anatomy with theories and models, and some universities practice on tour after dissection of medical consortium for short time. This is called the Cadaver practice. This study was carried out to investigate the thoughts and experiences of bioethics through nursing students' Cadaver practice. The interview data were processed through the analysis and interpretation process using the phenomenological research method, Giorgi method. As a result, 48 semantic units were derived, and then they were divided into 10 subcomponents and divided into 6 categories. As a result of the analysis, the experience of nursing students' bioethics was tied to the topic of six questions. For example, 'what about the respect and responsibility of nursing students in Cadaver?', 'What about your experience with the Cadaver experiment and bioethics?', 'What was the academic achievement of the actual human body structure viewing experience with cadaver?', 'What was the connection with theory?', 'What was your intention to recommend to others?', 'What was your perception and interest in the Cadaver experiment?'. Analyzes were integrated into 10 structures; "Thank you for your donation", "want others to refuse donation", "Burden of practice", "Good opportunities for learning", "Understand better", "Should study harder", "Memory is better", "Compared to theory", "Good experience", "Want to rejoin". The general structural description of the participants' meanings is summarized as follows. Nursing college students who participated in the Cadaver had a gratitude for the donor, but they said they would like to talk to others about donating organs. Before they went to practice, they felt a lot of pressure on the dissection of the cadaver, but they went to the practice and thought that it was a good opportunity to learn by doing well. Specifically, they understood that they had better understanding than the theoretical lesson, and that they were more eager to study their major through practice. In other words, most of them were more memorable and they would like to participate again if the opportunity comes next time. The results of this study show that the practice of Cadaver in nursing college students is very positive in terms of educational effectiveness. However, in terms of bioethics, it can be seen that the education process is somewhat unsatisfactory. Therefore, the systematic bioethics education should be prepared before the practice in the nursing college students' Cadaver practice.

  • 교실 음환경은 학생들에게 매우 중요한 요소로 학습효과와 학업 성취에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다는 연구결과가 다수 발표되고 있다. 그러나 학교 교실의 신축이나 리모델링 시에 가이드라인 및 설계방안이 제시된 바 없어 적절한 음환경을 실현하는데 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이론적 수식과 현장실험을 통하여 교실의 음환경 기준을 만족하기 위한 다양한 설계방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국내 중 고등학교의 교실에서 실내음향성능 기준을 만족하기 위해 필요한 최소 흡음면적을 계산하였다. 또한 교실의 천장 및 뒷벽의 다양한 마감상태에 따른 실내음향성능을 알아보고자 현장실험을 진행하여 실험 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 국내 교실 천장에 현재 거의 모든 학교에서 시행하고 있는 것처럼 천정흡음재를 설치하지 않아도 잔향시간 기준인 0.8 s를 만족할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 천장 일부 면적에 반사재를 적용하되 면적의 비율이 흡음 2 : 반사 1이면서 가로로 구획하는 것이 음압레벨을 향상시키며 전체가 흡음인 경우와 비슷한 명료도[$C_{50}$, $D_{50}$, RASTI(Rapid Speech Transmission Index)]를 확보할 수 있다.

  • To investigate the actual conditions of smoking in middle and high school students in Chinan County, I used a sturctured questionnaire for 1,579 students attending twelve middle-high schools from December 1, 1998 to December 20, 1998. I collected and data correlated the using an $SPSS-PC^+$ 1. The smoking rate of middle-high schoo1 students in Chinan County was 17.9%, relatively high. This smoking rate was different according to the gender, grade, religion, and economic situation. In mals, high school students, non-religious, students low income family students, the smoking rate was higher. The smoking rate of high school students was almost the same as the smoking rate of adults, generally higher than that of foreign teenagers. Because the smoking rat of studinets in the third grade of middle school and in the first grade of high School was six times higher, increased education should be conducted during this time in an attempt to curb the sudden increase of the smoking rate. The smoking rate of girl students was 5.0%; this has increased mor than three times from ten years ago. Consequently, counter measures should be taken against the smoking of female students as well as juvenile smoking in general. In addition, the smoking rate of middle-high school students showed interesting differences when correnated with enviornmental factors. Students with low grades, who are not satisfied with school life, who don't have both parents, who have uncaring parents who nare too strict or too arbitary, who have smoking parents, or who have experienced smoking commonly smoked. Therefore, to lower the smoking rate we should improve the school environment, improve a student's interest in school life. And parents or siblings should lead by example and quit smoking at home. Schools should educate students more effectively concerning the harmful effects of smoking and create an accurate understanding of its dancers. From the beginning, we should teach students never ever to touch cigaretts. 2. The surve discovered that most students started out of curiosity, or solicitantion from friends or elders at middle school, and had been smoking one to five cigarettes for more than a year. They obtained cigarettes at stores and most of them have friends who smoke. As a result anti-smoking education should be conducted at elementary schools prior to middle school. More than 95% of the teenagers who smoke had friends who smote and smoked out of curiosity or the recommendation of elders. Thus, we must focus on teenagers who smoke in group, rather than individually. Fuyrthermore, the strict application of the regulation of tobacco sales as well as tobacco cooperation from retailers are needed. While students did not show any mood or academic achievement difference after beginning smoking, 58.1% of the students a health situdation that was worse. Juvenile smoking is more harmful to the juvenile than adult smoking is to the adult. This should be focused on in an anti-smoking campaign. 3. Students who smoke hada more positive attitude toward smoking than students who don't smoke. Students who smoke had a tendency to have a nuetral position and are not concerned about smoking compared to non-smoking students. The survey showed that the great number of students had a nuetral position. Because this nuetrality may increase Juvenile smoking, education that provides an exact understanding of smoking should be performed to build the correct attidude toward smoking. 4. Middle school students smoke when angry, gloomy, anxious, a lone and when they have some problems to solve, on when they feel inconveniened in other wores, they smoke to reliver stress. They also smok due to addiction. Because smoking is not a praetical method to relieve stress, a program which helps to acquire positive relief stress should be provided to help reduce smoking. 5. About 65% of students who smoke want to quit smoking because of health problem, 78% of them have tried mor than once to quit but failed due to weak will power and peer pressure from friends who smoke. Juvenile smoking is group, oriented. Thus, the program that advances less smoking will be the one that focuseds on groups. 6. As for advice to students who want to quit smoking, "persuasion" was used most commonly, followed by a "presentation on how to quit smoking". Another method were severe punishment. About 70% of the students wanted the anti-smoking guide at school. 7. Most students (73.5%) had a position that more anti-smoking education at school is needed. Obriously, then, anti-smoking education at middle-high schools should be reinfoced. Although the education which explains the harmful influence of tobacco is known as an efficient way prevent smoking; it does not influence students who already smoke. Therefore, for students who smoke, multi-dimensional approaches must be attempted that include physical training, phychokogical approache, consultation and discussion, medical chek-ups, audio-visual education technigues, and professonal instructors, in addition, because smoking students have more negative on lukewarm attitude to anti-smoking education anti-smoking education should be conducted through a communicative style by dedicated teachers who care about students. In order to increase the effectiveness of this program.

  • The study examines the relationships among employee's goal orientation, IT personnel competency, personal effectiveness. The goal orientation includes learning goal orientation, performance approach goal orientation, and performance avoid goal orientation. Personal effectiveness consists of personal work satisfaction and personal work performance. In general, IT personnel competency refers to IT expert's skills, expertise, and knowledge required to perform IT activities in organizations. However, due to the advent of the internet and the generalization of IT, IT personnel competency turns out to be an important competency of technological experts as well as employees in organizations. While the competency of IT itself is important, the appropriate harmony between IT personnel's business capability and technological capability enhances the value of human resources and thus provides organizations with sustainable competitive advantages. The rapid pace of organization change places increased pressure on employees to continually update their skills and adapt their behavior to new organizational realities. This challenge raises a number of important questions concerning organizational behavior? Why do some employees display remarkable flexibility in their behavioral responses to changes in the organization, whereas others firmly resist change or experience great stress when faced with the need to alter behavior? Why do some employees continually strive to improve themselves over their life span, whereas others are content to forge through life using the same basic knowledge and skills? Why do some employees throw themselves enthusiastically into challenging tasks, whereas others avoid challenging tasks? The goal orientation proposed by organizational psychology provides at least a partial answer to these questions. Goal orientations refer to stable personally characteristics fostered by "self-theories" about the nature and development of attributes (such as intelligence, personality, abilities, and skills) people have. Self-theories are one's beliefs and goal orientations are achievement motivation revealed in seeking goals in accordance with one's beliefs. The goal orientations include learning goal orientation, performance approach goal orientation, and performance avoid goal orientation. Specifically, a learning goal orientation refers to a preference to develop the self by acquiring new skills, mastering new situations, and improving one's competence. A performance approach goal orientation refers to a preference to demonstrate and validate the adequacy of one's competence by seeking favorable judgments and avoiding negative judgments. A performance avoid goal orientation refers to a preference to avoid the disproving of one's competence and to avoid negative judgements about it, while focusing on performance. And the study also examines the moderating role of work career of employees to investigate the difference in the relationship between IT personnel competency and personal effectiveness. The study analyzes the collected data using PASW 18.0 and and PLS(Partial Least Square). The study also uses PLS bootstrapping algorithm (sample size: 500) to test research hypotheses. The result shows that the influences of both a learning goal orientation (${\beta}$ = 0.301, t = 3.822, P < 0.000) and a performance approach goal orientation (${\beta}$ = 0.224, t = 2.710, P < 0.01) on IT personnel competency are positively significant, while the influence of a performance avoid goal orientation(${\beta}$ = -0.142, t = 2.398, p < 0.05) on IT personnel competency is negatively significant. The result indicates that employees differ in their psychological and behavioral responses according to the goal orientation of employees. The result also shows that the impact of a IT personnel competency on both personal work satisfaction(${\beta}$ = 0.395, t = 4.897, P < 0.000) and personal work performance(${\beta}$ = 0.575, t = 12.800, P < 0.000) is positively significant. And the impact of personal work satisfaction(${\beta}$ = 0.148, t = 2.432, p < 0.05) on personal work performance is positively significant. Finally, the impacts of control variables (gender, age, type of industry, position, work career) on the relationships between IT personnel competency and personal effectiveness(personal work satisfaction work performance) are partly significant. In addition, the study uses PLS algorithm to find out a GoF(global criterion of goodness of fit) of the exploratory research model which includes a mediating variable, IT personnel competency. The result of analysis shows that the value of GoF is 0.45 above GoFlarge(0.36). Therefore, the research model turns out be good. In addition, the study performs a Sobel Test to find out the statistical significance of the mediating variable, IT personnel competency, which is already turned out to have the mediating effect in the research model using PLS. The result of a Sobel Test shows that the values of Z are all significant statistically (above 1.96 and below -1.96) and indicates that IT personnel competency plays a mediating role in the research model. At the present day, most employees are universally afraid of organizational changes and resistant to them in organizations in which the acceptance and learning of a new information technology or information system is particularly required. The problem is due' to increasing a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty in improving past practices in accordance with new organizational changes. It is not always possible for employees with positive attitudes to perform their works suitable to organizational goals. Therefore, organizations need to identify what kinds of goal-oriented minds employees have, motivate them to do self-directed learning, and provide them with organizational environment to enhance positive aspects in their works. Thus, the study provides researchers and practitioners with a matter of primary interest in goal orientation and IT personnel competency, of which they have been unaware until very recently. Some academic and practical implications and limitations arisen in the course of the research, and suggestions for future research directions are also discussed.
