  • The purpose of this study was to design a reliable and valid Likert-type scale to measure nuclear energy attitudes of various groups. 8 tests were applied to the construction of a 26-item long form, a 12-item middle form, and a 6-item short form of the scale. Three scales were field tested on 760 respondents representing a diverse range of subjects. The 26-item scale appeared to be reliable, content valid and construct valid. Scale reliability and homogeneity were evidenced by 0.95 coefficient alpha and positive interitem correlations ranging from 0.18 to 0.74. The results of factor analysis and known-groups comparison revealed that this scale had high validity. Reliability of the middle form and short form were evidenced by coefficient alpha of 0.92 and 0.90 respectively. The long and middle forms were strongly correlated, r-value of 0.98 and the long and short forms were also highly correlated, r-value of 0.93. Consequently, long form, middle form and short form scales were evidenced very reliable and valid in measuring nuclear energy attitudes of various groups in general. They can be used for a variety of purpose of measuring and testing nuclear energy attitude.

  • Purpose: The purpose of the study is to select reactivity indicators in the occurrence of ship accidents and change the evaluation index for people who are interested in ship accidents. Method: In order to make the selector's benchability index valid, we conducted an emotional survey of experts, compiled a feasibility assessment using the Likert scale, and performed AHP analysis to work on the relative results. Result: As a result of using the Likert scale for all evaluation indicators, the validity was confirmed by scoring more than 3.5 points on a 5-point scale, and as a result of AHP analysis, priority was given to 9 evaluation indicators. Conclusion: The results of this study developed an evaluation index by establishing a detailed basis for the evaluation index while operating in an aircraft.

  • This study was conducted to survey of the musculoskeletal disorders of radiological technologists and prevalence rate survey tool of musculoskeletal symptoms targeting the radiological technologists working currently in hospitals or clinics. For this study, survey was conducted from July 10th, 2011 to July 31st, 2011 for about 20 days with subject of radiological technologists in private clinics, hospitals, general hospitals and University hospitals. The main results of this study are as follows : First, frequency analysis on presence of musculoskeletal symptoms in each part of body showed that neck area was 22.5 %, shoulder area was 33.1 %, arm / elbow area was 8.3 %, hand / wrist / finger area was 15.5 %, waist area was 32.4 %, leg / foot area was 16.9% (p<0.05). Second, the results from summarizing the descriptive statistics of job stress, psychosocial stress and fatigue showed that the average of job stress was 2.48 out of Likert 4 points scale, the average of psychosocial stress was 2.27 out of Likert 4 points scale. Job stress was a little bit higher than the psychosocial stress. In case of fatigue, the average was 4.57 out of Likert 7 points scale and it was a slightly higher than 'normal' (p<0.05). In conclusion, we hope this study will be helpful to systematically and efficiently manage the resources as the basic material upon deploying the preventive measures about the musculoskeletal disorders of radiological technologists in the future.

  • Objectives: The aim of this study is to report the effects of Korean medical treatment with ByeolGab pharmacopuncture on a patient with a tension-type headache. Methods: We treated a tension-type headache using Korean medical treatment including ByeolGab pharmacopuncture for 6 days a week for 2 weeks. As a measurement, the numerical rating scale (NRS), the Henry Ford Headache Disability Inventory (HDI), and a six point Likert scale were used to confirm pharmacopuncture therapy efficacy. Results: After treatment, symptoms related to tension-type headache and other complaints were decreased and evaluation using the NRS, HDI, and six-point scale showed improvement in the patient. Conclusions: This study shows that Korean medical treatment with ByeolGab pharmacopuncture has beneficial effects on control of tension-type headache and improvement in quality of life for patients.

  • Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of supine JS cervical therapy and muscle release/strengthening technique in patients with acute neck pain caused by traffic accidents. Methods We studied 42 patients with acute neck pain caused by traffic accidents from July 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019. The study was conducted as a retrospective study which analyzes the patient's medical records. 21 patients (group A) had received supine JS cervical therapy and 21 patients (group B) had received muscle release/strengthening technique. We used the neck disability index (NDI) and visual analog scale (VAS) to evaluate improvements in symptoms and pain, and used the five point Likert scale to evaluate patient's satisfaction with chuna manual therapy. In each group, we compared the NDI and VAS of hospitalization day to those of 5 days later. Then we compared the NDI, VAS variation and five point Likert scale between the groups. Statistical analysis was conducted using the IBM SPSS for windows 25.0. Result Both group A and group B showed a statistically significant decrease in the NDI and VAS on the 5th day of hospitalization. In group A, there was a statistically significant decrease in the NDI compared to group B. The VAS and Five Point Likert Scale decrease was greater in group A than in group B, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion We found that using supine JS cervical therapy may be more effective than muscle release/strengthening technique in acute stage after traffic accidents.

  • To evaluate the value of a preserved tree as rural landscape resource, the growth environment and health condition was investigated, and the image evaluation was implemented on land~ape architectural major undergraduate students for zelkova trees in Yesan-gun. The image evaluation results of zelkova trees were as followings; 1) Typical image of preserved tree examined by Semantic Differential Scale were 'Old', 'Big', and 'Good'. 2) The 'big' image of zelkova tree and the height of tree, the width of tree crown, the breast girth of tree, the root girth of tree, the external formation of tree, and the health of tree bark is mutually related. Especially, the correlation between the 'big' and the external formation and the width of tree crown is high. 3) Typical image of preserved tree examined by Likert Scale were 'Natural', 'Green', 'Peaceful', and 'Rural'. 4) The preservation necessity for preserved tree was highly related with the state of ground, and the management necessity for preserved tree was highly related with contamination level and the state of ground. The appropriate management plan for preserved tree are proposed to improve the quality of rural landscape(basis of these results).

  • The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between family strengths and teacher-efficacy among married female teachers. The findings are as follows: First, the average value of family strength was 3.98 on a five-point Likert scale, which meant that they perceived themselves as having a relatively high-level of family strength. Second, the average value of leather-efficacy was 3.14 on a five-point Likert scale, which the teachers' perceptions of their own efficacy were also relatively high. 'The subjective economic status affected the level of the family strength, whereas the leather-efficacy was affected by age, years in teaching, duration of marriage, and the age of the eldest child. Finally, the variables that influenced their techer-efficacy were positive communication, social connectedness, and the age of the eldest child.
