  • Objective: To study the prevalence and clinical characteristics of decreased myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantified by dynamic computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in symptomatic patients without in-stent restenosis. Materials and Methods: Thirty-seven (mean age, 71.3 ± 10 years; age range, 48-88 years; 31 males, 6 females) consecutive symptomatic patients with patent coronary stents and without obstructive de novo lesions were prospectively enrolled to undergo dynamic CT-MPI using a third-generation dual-source CT scanner. The shuttle-mode acquisition technique was used to image the complete left ventricle. A bolus of contrast media (50 mL; iopromide, 370 mg iodine/mL) was injected into the antecubital vein at a rate of 6 mL/s, followed by a 40-mL saline flush. The mean MBF value and other quantitative parameters were measured for each segment of both stented-vessel territories and reference territories. The MBFratio was defined as the ratio of the mean MBF value of the whole stent-vessel territory to that of the whole reference territory. An MBFratio of 0.85 was used as the cut-off value to distinguish hypoperfused from non-hypoperfused segments. Results: A total of 629 segments of 37 patients were ultimately included for analysis. The mean effective dose of dynamic CT-MPI was 3.1 ± 1.2 mSv (range, 1.7-6.3 mSv). The mean MBF of stent-vessel territories was decreased in 19 lesions and 81 segments. Compared to stent-vessel territories without hypoperfusion, the mean MBF and myocardial blood volume were markedly lower in hypoperfused stent-vessel territories (77.5 ± 16.6 mL/100 mL/min vs. 140.4 ± 24.1 mL/100 mL/min [p < 0.001] and 6.4 ± 3.7 mL/100 mL vs. 11.5 ± 4 mL/100 mL [p < 0.001, respectively]). Myocardial hypoperfusion in stentvessel territories was present in 48.6% (18/37) of patients. None of clinical parameters differed statistically significantly between hypoperfusion and non-hypoperfusion subgroups. Conclusion: Decreased MBF is commonly present in patients who are symptomatic after percutaneous coronary intervention, despite patent stents and can be detected by dynamic CT-MPI using a low radiation dose.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the reality of inservice education provided to members of Korean Dental Hygienists Association, the state of relevant academic conferences, and the perception of the members about inservice education and academic conference. It's basically meant to help boost their participation in inservice education and their satisfaction with it, and to show some of the right directions for that. The subjects in this study were dental hygienists who attended a symposium on July 1, 2006. After a survey was conducted, the answer sheets from 489 participants were analyzed, and the findings of the study were as follows: 1. General hospitals and university hospitals made up the largest group(91.4%) that gave a monthly leave of absence, and the second largest group was dental hospitals(75.4%), followed by dental clinics(58.3%) and public dental clinics(48.0%). The most common closing time in dental clinics and dental hospitals was 5 p.m., and that was 12 p.m. in general hospitals and university hospitals. The dental hygienists in public dental clinics didn't work on Saturdays. By type of workplace, treatment was the most common duty for the dental hygienists in dental clinics and dental hospitals to perform, and those who worked at general hospitals, university hospitals and public health clinics were in charge of extensive range of jobs. 2. The rates of the dental hygienists who took that education stood at 94.9% in public dental clinics, 78.7% in dental hospitals and 75.3% in dental clinics, general hospitals and university hospitals. Regarding how many marks they got on an yearly basis, those who got eight marks or more made up the largest group(55.6%), followed by four marks or more(11.8%), six marks or more(3.4%), and two marks or more(1.5%). As for the usefulness of inservice education for their job performance, the largest number of the dental hygienists(40.8%) found it to be helpful, and the second greatest group(37.5%) considered its effectiveness to be so-so. The third largest group(8.4%) found it to be of great use, and the fourth biggest group(4.2%) considered it to be of no service. The fifth biggest group(l.3%) thought it was absolutely useless. By type of workplace, the workers in dental clinics, dental hospitals, general hospitals and university hospitals wanted the most to learn how to take care of clinical work(acquisition of up-to-date technology), and those in public health clinics hoped the most to learn about public dental health. By type of workplace, the workers in dental clinics had their sight set on self-development the most, and the dental hygienists in dental hospitals, general hospitals, university hospitals and public health clinics were most in pursuit of acquiring new knowledge. By type of workplace, the specific given conditions at work were most singled out by the dental clinic workers as the reason, and the dental hospital employees pointed out time constraints the most. The dental hygienists in general hospitals and university hospitals cited time constraints and financial burden the most, and the public health clinic personnels mentioned inaccessibility of a place for inservice education as the reason. 3. The public health clinic workers participated in academic conferences the most(90.8%), followed by the general and university hospital personnels(68.8%), dental hospital employees(65.6%) and dental clinic workers(65.5%). By type of workplace, the public health clinic workers(73.5%) expressed the most satisfaction, followed by the general and university hospital employees(67.7%), dental clinic workers(62.3%) and dental hospital personnels(54.1%). By type of workplace, the employees of dental clinics, dental hospitals, general hospitals and university hospitals preferred Saturdays, and the public health clinic workers had a liking for weekdays. As for a favored place, hotels were most preferred, followed by university hospitals, general hospitals, college lecture rooms, district halls and local public institutions. Hotels were most favored regardless of the type of workplace. 4. Regarding outlook on inservice education, they had the highest opinion on the facilities and given conditions of lecture rooms($3.41{\pm}0.83$), followed by the professionalism of lecturers($3.34{\pm}0.83$), procedures of receipt and attendance confirmation($3.34{\pm}0.83$) and class size($3.13{\pm}0.89$). On the contrary, they took the most dismal view of the inaccessibility of a place of inservice education($2.08{\pm}0.92$), followed by limited opportunity and limited date for that education($2.51{\pm}0.99$), extra financial burden($2.53{\pm}1.18$) and high tuition fee($2.57{\pm}0.96$).

  • 국내의 경우 LID 기술은 2009년 이후에 적용하기 시작하여 환경부, 국토부, LH공사 등의 사업지구와 공공기관, 상업용지, 주택, 공원, 학교 등에서 빗물 관리를 위해 LID 시설을 설치하고 운영 중이다. 그러나 국내의 사례를 살펴보면 국외에 비해 적용사례나 운영 기간 등이 충분하지 못하여 적절한 설계기준과 운영 및 유지관리에 대한 방안 제시가 미흡한 실정이다. 특히, LID 기술을 활용하여 시공되는 LID 시설은 고유의 물순환 기능으로 발현하는 물질순환과 에너지 흐름으로 수문학적 및 환경적 효과가 발현되기에 LID 시설 내부의 지속적인 환경 유지가 필요하다. LID 시설은 물순환 목표량에 계획된 처리용량으로 설계가 되며 적절한 유지관리와 식생 및 토양의 상태를 주기적으로 파악하여 최초에 설치된 상태를 최대한 유지해야 그 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 즉, LID 시설은 물순환 구축을 통한 물의 저류와 침투능을 증대시키면서 수질오염저감, 홍수저감, 수자원확보, 온도저감 등의 효과를 기대하는 시설이기에 LID 시설에 조성되는 토양은 매우 중요한 설계 요소이다. 정확한 LID 시설의 기능 유지와 관리를 위해서는 토양오염, 제설제 영향, 식생 기준 등의 다양한 정량적 데이터를 통해 시설의 현재 상태와 교체 및 유지관리의 주기를 정확하게 알아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 2009년부터-2020년까지 국내에 설치된 LID 시설의 현황을 조사하고, 그 중 식생형 시설인 빗물화단, 식생수로, 식생체류지 등을 대상으로 하여 토양층에서 토양시료를 채취한 후 지난 10년 간 적용된 LID 시설의 지속성과 현재 상태를 통해 토양의 변화를 분석하고자 수행되었다. 토성, 유기물, 경도, 함수량, pH, 전기전도도, 염분 등의 분석을 통해서 시공후 5년~7년 이상된 일부 식생형 LID 시설에서 조경설계기준 하급치에 해당하는 결과를 나타냈다. 하급치 이하의 시설은 토양의 투수율 저하와 식생 생육에 문제가 될 수 있는 상태로 유지관리가 필요한 시점으로 인식할 수 있다. 이에 따른 토양치환과 교체를 통해 LID 시설을 관리해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

  • 우리나라는 국제정세에 능동적으로 대처하기 위하여 전국에 각종 군사가지를 설치하고, 군사기지의 보호와 비행안전을 위하여 군사기지 주변에 보호구역, 비행안전구역 등을 설정하고 있다(군사기지 및 군사시설 보호법). 국방부장관은 군사기지 주변에 비행안전구역(飛行安全區域)을 지정하거나 이를 변경 또는 해제할 수 있고, 비행안전구역 내에서 그 구역의 표면높이 이상인 건축물의 건축, 공작물·식물이나 그 밖의 장애물의 설치·재배 또는 방치행위는 금지된다. 대상판결에서는 국가가 비행안전구역을 설정하여 사용하는 경우 토지소유자는 국가를 상대로 부당이득반환 또는 손실보상을 청구하였다. 이 글은 원고의 청구의 정당성에 관하여 기존 법리를 바탕으로 분석한 것으로, 논의를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 비행안전구역은 국가안전보장의 구체적 내용인 군사기지의 안전을 위하여 군사기지 인근 주변의 재산권을 제한한다는 점에서 공용제한의 일종인 군사부담(軍事負擔) 중 군사제한(軍事制限)에 해당한다. 비행안전구역은 국가가 군용항공기의 이착륙에 있어서의 안전비행을 확보하기 위한 목적뿐만 아니라, 아울러 그 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 사고를 방지하고 인근 주민들의 생명·신체·재산을 보호하려는 목적으로 지정하는 것으로서, 그 공공성과 사회적 가치를 인정할 수 있다. 민법 제741조는 "법률상 원인 없이 타인의 재산 또는 노무로 인하여 이익을 얻고 이로 인하여 타인에게 손해를 가한 자는 그 이익을 반환하여야 한다"고 정하고 있다. 대상사안은 침해부당이득에 해당하므로, 피고가 이익을 보유할 정당한 권원이 있음을 증명하여야 한다. 국가는 군용항공기의 안전한 이착륙을 위하여 군사기지법이 정한 적법한 절차에 따라 비행안전구역으로 지정된 토지의 상공을 사용할 권리가 있다. 따라서 피고가 법률상 원인 없이 이 사건 부동산 상공에 대한 차임 상당의 부당이득을 얻었다고 할 수 없다. 군사기지법에 이 사건과 같이 부동산 상공에 비행안전구역을 설정한 경우에 관한 손실보상규정은 존재하지 않는바, 위헌 여부가 문제된다. 헌법재판소는 토지소유자가 수인해야 할 사회적 제약의 정도를 넘는 경우에도 아무런 보상없이 재산권의 과도한 제한을 감수해야 하는 의무를 부과하는 경우에는 위헌이라고 판시하였다(헌법재판소 1998. 12. 24. 선고 89헌마214 결정). 한편 대법원은 구 군사시설보호법에 따른 보호구역의 설정과 그로 인한 토지소유자의 재산권 행사의 제한은 군사시설의 보호와 군작전의 원활한 수행이라는 공익을 위한 사회적 제약 내에 있는 것으로 손실보상규정이 없다고 하여 위헌이 되는 것이 아니라고 판시한 바 있다(대법원 1992. 11. 24.자 92부14 결정). 비행안전구역으로 지정되어 사용·수익이 제한된다고 하더라도 손실보상 규정을 두지 않는 것만으로는, 비행안전구역제도의 목적의 정당성, 수단의 적정성, 침해의 최소성, 법익의 균형성 등이 인정되므로, 위헌이라고 보기는 어렵다. 공용제한으로 인한 손실보상에 대하여서는 공익사업법이 손실보상에 관한 근거법률이 되는 것이 아니라 공용제한을 규정한 개별 법률에 의하여 손실보상관계가 규율되는 것인바, 공용제한에 기한 손실보상의 규정이 없는 공익사업법을 근거로 손실보상을 구하는 원고의 주장은 부당하다는 대상판결의 결론은 타당하다.

  • The Necessity of Cyber University. Within the rapidly changing environment of global economics, the environment of higher education in the universities, also, has been, encountering various changes. Popularization on higher education related to 1lifetime education system, putting emphasis on the productivity of education services and the acquisition of competitiveness through the market of open education, the breakdown of the ivory tower and the Multiversitization of universities, importance of obtaining information in the universities, and cooperation between domestic and oversea universities, industry and educational system must be acquired. Therefore, in order to adequately cope wi th these kinds of rapid changes in the education environment, operating Cyber University by utilizing various information technologies and its fixations such as Internet, E-mail, CD-ROMs, Interact ive Video Networks (Video Conferencing, Video on Demand), TV, Cable etc., which has no time or location limitation, is needed. Using informal ion and telecommunication technologies, especially the Internet is expected to Or ing about many changes in the social, economics and educational area. Among the many changes scholars have predicted, the development and fixations of Distant Learning or Cyber University was the most dominant factor. In the case of U. S. A., Cyber University has already been established and in under operation by the Federate Governments of 13 states. Any other universities (around 500 universities has been opened until1 now), with the help of the government and private citizens have been able to partly operate the Cyber University and is planning on enlarging step-by-step in the future. It could be seen not only as U. S. A. trying to elevate its higher education through their leading information technologies, but also could be seen as their objective in putting efforts on subordinating the culture of the education worldwide. UTRA University in U. S. A., for example, is already exporting its class lectures to China, and Indonesia regions. Influenced by the Cyber University current in the U.S., the Universities in Korea is willing .to arrange various forms of Cyber Universities. In line with this, at JUNAM National University, internet based Cyber University, which has set about its work on July of 1997, is in the state of operating about 100 Cyber Universities. Also, in the case of Hanam University, the Distant Learning classes are at its final stage of being established; this is a link in the rapid speed project of setting an example by the Korean Government. In addition, the department of education has selected 5 universities, including Seoul Cyber Design University for experimentation and is in the stage of strategic operation. Over 100 universities in Korea are speeding up its preparation for operating Cyber University. This form of Distant Learning goes beyond the walls of universities and is in the trend of being diffused in business areas or in various training programs of financial organizations and more. Here, in the hope that this material would some what be of help to other Universities which are preparing for Cyber University, I would 1ike to introduce some general concepts of the components forming Cyber University and Open Education System which has been established by JUNAM University. System of Cyber University could be seen as a general solution offered by tile computer technologies for the management on the students, Lectures On Demand, real hour based and satellite classes, media product ion lab for the production of the multimedia Contents, electronic library, the Groupware enabling exchange of information between students and professors. Arranging general concepts of components in the aspect of Cyber University and Open Education, it would be expressed in the form of the establishment of Cyber University and the service of Open Education as can be seen in the diagram below.

  • This study concerns possible measures to prevent separatists' terrorist acts against overseas Korean businessmen. Of late, many Korean enterprises are helping a number of foreign countries develop their economy, by building factories and manning regional offices in those countries. But recent development of terrorism especially against Korean businessmen is alarming. This report discusses the need for Korean enterprises heading overseas to prepare themselves with awareness of terrorism and possible protective measures against it, besides their routine pursuance of profits; and for the government and prospective enterprises to refrain from investing in those countries having active separatist movements. If an investment has become inevitable, a careful survey of the region in conflict should be conducted and self-protective measures should be put in place through security information exchange, emergency coordination and training of personnel, etc. This study will first review the past terrorist incidents involving employees of overseas Korean enterprises, and then will focuss on seeking effective measures on the basis of the reported incidents. In carrying out the study, related literature from both home and abroad have been used along with the preliminary materials reported and known on the Internet from recent incidents. 1. The separatist movements of minority groups Lately, minority separatist groups are increasingly resorting to terrorism to draw international attention with the political aim of gaining extended self rule or independence. 2. The state of terrorism against overseas Korean enterprises and Koreans Korean enterprises are now operating businesses, and having their own personnel stationed, in 85 countries including those in South East Asia and Middle East regions. In Sri Lanka, where a Korean enterprise recently became a target of terrorist bombing, there are 75 business firms from Korea and some 700 Korean employees are stationed as of August 1996. A total of 19 different terrorist incidents have taken place against Koreans abroad since 1990. 3. Terrorism preventive measures Terrorism preventive measures are discussed in two ways: measures by the government and by the enterprises. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by the government - Possible measures at governmental level can include collection and dissemination of terrorist activity information. Emphasis should be given to the information on North Korean activities in particular. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by individual enterprises - Organizational security plan must be established by individual enterprises and there should also be an increase of security budget. A reason for reluctant effort toward positive security plan is the perception that the security budget is not immediately linked to an increment of profit gain. Ensuring safety for overseas personnel is a fundamental obligation of an enterprise. Consultation and information exchange on security plan, and an emergency support system at a threat to security must be sought after and implemented. 4. Conclusion Today's terrorism varies widely depending on reasons and causes, and its means has become increasingly informationalized and scientific as well while its method is becoming more clandestine and violent. Terrorist organizations are increasingly aiming at enterprises for acquisition of budgets needed for their activities. Korean enterprises have extended their business realm to foreign countries since 1970, exposing themselves to terrorism. Enterprises and their employees, therefore, should establish their own security measures on the one hand while the government must provide general measures, on the other, for the protection of the life and property of Korean residents abroad from terrorist attacks. In this regard, set-up of a counter terrorist organization that coordinates the efforts of government authorities in various levels in planning and executing counter terrorist measures is desired. Since 1965, when the hostile North Korea began to step up its terrorist activities against South Koreans, there have been 7 different occasions of assassination attempt on South Korean presidents and some 500 cases of various kidnappings and attempted kidnappings. North Korea, nervous over the continued economic growth and social stabilization of South Korea, is now concentrating its efforts in the destruction and deterioration of the national power of South Korea for its earlier realization of reunification by force. The possibility of North Korean terrorism can be divided into external terrorist acts and internal terrorist acts depending on the nationality of the terrorists it uses. The external terrorist acts include those committed directly by North Korean agents in South Korea and abroad and those committed by dissident Koreans, hired Korean residents, or international professionals or independent international terrorists bought or instigated by North Korea. To protect the life and property of Korean enterprises and their employees abroad from the threat of terrorism, the government's administrative support and the organizational efforts of enterprises should necessarily be directed toward the planning of proper security measures and training of employees. Also, proper actions should be taken against possible terrorist acts toward Korean business employees abroad as long as there are ongoing hostilities from minority groups against their governments.

  • In the age of global communication, more human exchange is extended at the grass-roots level. In the old days, language policy and language planning was based on one nation-state with one language. But high waves of globalizaiton have allowed extended human flow of exchange beyond one's national border on a daily basis. Under such circumstances, homogeneity in Japan may not allow Japanese to speak and communicate only in Japanese and only with Japanese people. In Japan, an advisory report was made to the Ministry of Education in June 1996 about what education should be like in the 21st century. In this report, an introduction of English at public elementary schools was for the first time made. A basic policy of English instruction at the elementary school level was revealed. With this concept, English instruction is not required at the elementary school level but each school has their own choice of introducing English as their curriculum starting April 2002. As Baker, Colin (1996) indicates the age of three as being the threshold diving a child becoming bilingual naturally or by formal instruction. Threre is a movement towards making second language acquisition more naturalistic in an educational setting, developing communicative competence in a more or less formal way. From the lesson of the Canadian immersion success, Genesee (1987) stresses the importance of early language instruction. It is clear that from a psycho-linguistic perspective, most children acquire basic communication skills in their first language apparently effortlessly and without systematic and formal instruction during the first six or seven years of life. This innate capacity diminishes with age, thereby making language learning increasingly difficult. The author, being a returnee, experienced considerable difficulty acquiring L2, and especially achieving native-like competence. There will be many hurdles to conquer until Japanese students are able to reach at least a communicative level in English. It has been mentioned that English is not taught to clear the college entrance examination, but to communicate. However, Japanese college entrance examination still makes students focus more on the grammar-translation method. This is expected to shift to a more communication stressed approach. Japan does not have to aim at becoming an official bilingual country, but at least communicative English should be taught at every level in school Mito College is a small two-year co-ed college in Japan. Students at Mito College are basically notgood at English. It has only one department for business and economics, and English is required for all freshmen. It is necessary for me to make my classes enjoyable and attractive so that students can at least get motivated to learn English. My major target is communicative English so that students may be prepared to use English in various business settings. As an experiment to introduce more communicative English, the author has made the following syllabus design. This program aims at training students speak and enjoy English. 90-minute class (only 190-minute session per week is most common in Japanese colleges) is divided into two: The first half is to train students orally using Graded Direct Method. The latter half uses different materials each time so that students can learn and enjoy English culture and language simultaneously. There are no quizes or examinations in my one-academic year program. However, all students are required to make an original English poem by the end of the spring semester. 2-6 students work together in a group on one poem. Students coming to Mito College, Japan have one of the lowest English levels in all of Japan. However, an attached example of one poem made by a group shows that students can improve their creativity as long as they are kept encouraged. At the end of the fall semester, all students are then required individually to make a 3-minute original English speech. An example of that speech contest will be presented at the Convention in Seoul.

  • 깁사이트를 황산수용액에 용해하여 제조된 황산알루미늄 용액에 에틸알코올을 사용하여 결정을 석출시킨 후 여과, 건조를 통하여 수황산알루미늄 결정 [$Al_2(SO_4)_3$ · $nH_2O$]을 제조하였다. XRD분석 결과 수황산알루미늄에 포함된 결정수는 n=18, 16, 12, 0이었으며, TG분석 결과 평균결정수($n_{av}$)는 14.7이었다. 수황산알루미늄을 열처리한 결과 $800^{\circ}C$에서는 무수황산알루미늄, $900^{\circ}C$$1000^{\circ}C$에서는 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$, $1200^{\circ}C$에서는 $\alpha-Al_2O_3$의 생성을 확인할 수 있었다. $\gamma-Al_2O_3$에 니켈피착을 위하여 0.025M농도의 황산알루미늄과 황산니켈을 사용하고 $Ni^{+2}$ 이온과 $Al^{+3}$ 이온의 농도비가 0.5인 혼합용액을 제조한 후 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ 분말을 혼합하여 슬러리를 제조하였다 제조된 혼합슬러리에 우레아와 $NH_4OH$수용액을 첨가하여 pH를 9.0로 조절하고 $80^{\circ}C$에서 니켈피착을 하였으며, 니켈피착의 진행사항은 ORP(oxidation reduction potential), 전도도 그리고 pH값을 측정하여 관찰하였다. 니켈량에 따른 니켈피착 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 피착된 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$$900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하고 비표면적 변화와 열확산도를 측정하였다. 또한 $1250^{\circ}C$에서 니켈피착 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$의 열안정성은 비표면적과 XRD의 결정상변화로 확인하였다 니켈피착 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$의 표면은 XPS분석으로 Ni $2P_{3/2}$의 화학결합에너지의 변화를 확인한 결과 $NiAl_2O_4$, 상의 화학결합에너지가 증가되었다. 본 연구 결과로 니켈피착 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$가 순수 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$에 비하여 열적 안정성을 지닌 것으로 확인 되었다.
