This study aims to investigate hypotheses for the effects of leaders' individualized consideration leadership behaviors(Bass, 1985) and employee's organizational commitment. It is proposed that individualized consideration leadership behaviors will positively effect on employee's organizational commitment. And to understand the importance of followers' characteristics in recent leadership studies, it is also proposed that the follower's need for achievement(N-Arch) moderates in the relationship of individualized consideration leadership behaviors and organizational commitment. After descriptive survey, research model setup, and field survey, this empirical study investigated the above mentioned hypotheses thru SPSS for Windows 12.0. It involved linear regression analysis to reveal the significant main effect of the individualized consideration leadership behaviors. It also revealed moderating regression analysis to reveal the significant moderating effects of need for achievement between the independent variables(individualized consideration leadership behaviors) and dependent variable(the organizational commitment). Results revealed that leaders' individualized consideration leadership behaviors positively affected to its employee's organizational commitment(Hypothesis 1). And positive moderating effect of N-Arch was strongly supported between leader's individualized consideration leadership behaviors and follower's organizational commitment (Hypothesis 2).

The author obtained 120 oblique-lateral transcranial radiograms by two projection methods from 30 subjects with clinically normal TMJ. The relative position of the condyle within the articular fossa and the quality of the radiographic images were compared in the standardized and individualized radiographic groups. The results were as follows: 1. The condylar position in the individualized radiographic group was more posterior than that in the standardized radiographic group (P<0.001). 2. The horizontal angle between the long axis of condyle and intermeatal line in the individualized group ranged from 0° to 31° (14.38°±7.55°), and the highest prevalence was found between 15 and 19° 3. The individualized group showed prominent radiopaque shadow of the anterior condylar border; the image detail was superior in the standardized group to that of the individualized group (P<0.05).

Transcranial radiograph is widely used in the diagnosis of craniomandibular disorder because it can be used by the dentist with relative ease in spite of image distortion. But correct information can be obtained only when one know the image change by projection angulation. The author compared the condyle position in the 3 groups of transcranial radiographs (horizontal angulation - 0°, 5°, individualized) with that in the individualized corrected lateral tomogram by objective and subjective evaluation methods. The results were as follows: 1. Among 3 transcranial groups, the condyle position in individualized group showed the highest concordance rate with that in the tomogram group in objective and subjective evaluation methods. 2. Correlation coefficient between individualized transcranial group and tomogram group in objective evaluation method was highest (P≤0.01). 3. Image clarity in individualized transcranial group was worse than that of the other two transcranial groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of individualized diet education program on dietary knowledge and self-care compliance among hemodialysis patients. Methods: The design of the study was quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. Fifty patients were assigned to an experimental group and fifty patients were assigned to a control group. Individualized diet education program was applied to the experimental group once every two weeks for twelve weeks. Results: Dietary knowledge increased significantly in the experimental group when compared to the control group. Dietary self-care compliance improved significantly in the post-test of the experimental group, however, the difference was not significant. Conclusion: The individualized dietary education program was effective in improving dietary knowledge. The individualized diet education program needs to be incorporated as an important nursing intervention. Nurses should provide individualized diet education program for hemodialysis patients.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation education individualized to PCI patients in order to improve their knowledge of these diseases and to lessen their anxiety. Method: A Quasi experimental design with non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design was used. The experimental group had the PCI operation for ischemic heart disease and individualized cardiac rehabilitation education and counseling twice for 25 minutes each time using an educational booklet developed by the authors. The effects of the education were analyzed using a knowledge assessment tool, state anxiety inventory and anxiety visual analogue scale. Results: The experimental group who received the individualized cardiac rehabilitation education showed a high level of knowledge about diseases compared to the control group and particularly showed a significant difference in knowledge about the drugs used for treatment. However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in the level of state anxiety and anxiety visual analogue scale. Conclusion: Individualized cardiac rehabilitation education did not reduce anxiety but it was effective in enhancing the participants' knowledge about the diseases. Thus, it can be utilized effectively in addressing risk factors in ischemic heart diseases by providing education individualized according to patients' demands and knowledge levels.

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors determining users' acceptance of individualized virtual community. While there has been considerable research on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that has predicted whether individuals will accept and voluntarily use information systems, limitations of the TAM include the omission of an important characteristics of individual construct in the context of individualized community. Based on literature relating to the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the TAM, this study extends the applicability of the TAM in a individualized community context, by adding characteristics of individual-based construct ("subjective norm", "self-efficacy", "self-presentation" and "sharing information to exchange various information") to the model. Analysis was conducted on using the structural equation modeling approach. The result supports the extended TAM in predicting users' intentions to using personalized community. Several implications for IT/IS acceptance research and individualized community service management practices are discussed.

Introduction: To correct abnormal occlusal plane by orthognathic surgery, we need to have clear criteria for therapeutic occlusal plane. Authors introduced the concept of individualized ideal occlusal plane(Y-plane), which is determined by the size and form of the mandible, and the ideal incisor tip considering upper and lower lip. Authors studied the following to verify if the actual occlusal plane of the patients with optimal jaw relationship corresponds with the individualized ideal occlusal plane. Patients: We reviewed 44 patients who have normal occlusion visitied in the Dept. of orthodontics, Pundang CHA hospital. Methods: We evaluated if there are agreement between individualized ideal occlusal plane(Y plane) and occlusal plane of actual patients. And we confirmed if tested group has a normal face by measuring FABA, FMA, AB-LOP. Results: There were no significant differences of FABA, FMA, AB-LOP, Mo-Y plane between male and female. FABA, FMA and AB-LOP were included in the normal value. Average distance of Mo-Y plane was $0.75{\pm}0.78mm$. Conclusion: Individualized ideal occlusal plane may be applied to orthognathic surgery.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of an individualized cardiac rehabilitation education program on knowledge about coronary artery disease (CAD), compliance of sick role and vascular health status in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Quasi-experimental design-based nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed. Using convenience sampling, data were collected from 60 patients who underwent PCI at S Hospital in S City from September 2014 to February 2015. For examining the effects of an individualized cardiac rehabilitation education program, knowledge about CAD, compliance of sick role and vascular health status were measured. Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant differences in knowledge about CAD (t=24.21, p<.001), compliance with sick role (t=20.81, p<.001) and vascular health status (t=15.07, p<.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The individualized cardiac rehabilitation education program is effective in improving knowledge about CAD, compliance of sick role and vascular health status in patients who underwent PCI. Based on the findings of this study, nursing intervention programs focusing on individualized approach will be useful for patients undergoing PCI.
