In recent years, although numbers of corporations are bringing in PMO, they seem to be indifferent to PMO performance measurement. This demonstrates that there are also other reasons beside performance measurement of information systems (IS) project being ambiguous by introducing PMO; the lack of acknowledging the concrete function of PMO, and the scarcity of empirical study about the effect of PMO on the project members and project performance. In this sense, this study is aimed at proposing a new research model in which project success factors (i.e., standardization, management advocacy, and staff expertise) affect PMO capability (i.e., knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency) positively, leading to project performance (i.e., task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes) eventually. To empirically test the research model, data are surveyed from PMO department and IS department. To prove the validity of the proposed research model, PLS analysis is applied with valid 132 questionnaires. By employing PLS technique, the measurement reliability and validity of research variables are tested and the path analysis is conducted to do the hypothesis testing. The path analysis results can be organized into 7 ways in large scale. First, standardization of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency of PMO capabilities. The findings of this result indicate that the multiple or single project management should satisfy standardization in order to operate an effective PMO. Second, management advocacy of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency. Management advocacy refers to the willingness of management to provide the required resources and authority for project success. There is agreement among researchers regarding the importance of management advocacy for favorable PMO capability. Third, staff expertise of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency. The findings of this result indicate that the formation of an exceptional consultant or members with a proficient knowledge for staff expertise of project member is the key factor to elevate the PMO capability. Past research suggests that experience and knowledge and the resultant familiarity with the problem faced can be an important determinant of PMO capability. A capable project with appropriate staff expertise means that it enjoys a diversity of abilities and experiences. Fourth, knowledge management competency of PMO capabilities has a positive impact on psychological outcomes but has no direct effect on task outcomes and organizational outcomes. In domestic case of S. Korea, PMO was finally introduced to many other corporations in 2005 though it started bringing in 2000. Therefore, it had neither a significant impact on the task outcomes nor organizational outcomes by lacking the contents and the infrastructure of the knowledge management because the knowledge consolidation and management period of PMO is comparatively shorter by terms than other foreign nations. Fifth, resources management competency of PMO capabilities has a positive association with task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes. In addition, problem solving competency of PMO capabilities has a positive association with task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes. Therefore, the findings of this results stress that PMO capabilities has a positive impact on project performance. Sixth, according to the path analysis of the hypothesis, which suggested in this research, problem solving competency is the PMO capability which is the key success factor for task, psychological, and organizational outcomes as an integrated performance model. Further, the analysis reveals that problem solving competency is an important factor for integrated performance model. The finding is in line with past IS research, which affirms that the work of IS projects is essentially a problem solving endeavor. Seventh, in the path analysis of the hypothesis in this research, the path of the management advocacy $\rightarrow$ problem solving competency $\rightarrow$ organizational outcomes appears to be the most important and strongest path. In brief, the finding of this study suggests that project success factors influence PMO capability positively, and project performance as well. From the results, it can be concluded that PMO helped great improve the project success rate and project performance. This study advances research on PMO capability in three important aspects. First, the findings of our study have implications for IS theory and future research. Our study contributes to IS theory by synthesizing concepts from PMO research and project management research with those in IS research. We proposed and tested PMO capability of IS projects and the findings of our investigation provided some preliminary answers to some of the questions raised. Secondly, this thesis does not only help depicting the concept of IT governance but also approaches empirically. It makes a gradual approach to the main content, step by step, in contrary of simple standard, scholastic way of thinking. Finally, we argued that this task-oriented(technical) view is not sufficient to adequately conceptualize IS project performance. Hence, we applied that the research on organization teams, which provides a flip viewpoint to that of project management research in that it gives more weight for psychological outcomes of organizational work groups, can be very helpful in reconceptualizing the IS project performance construct. The limitations of this study are also discussed to provide research directions for future research.

Background: Isolated lung perfusion(ILP) was developed as a new treatment approach to non-resectable primary or metastatic lung cancer, because of its ability to reduce systemic toxicity while delivering high-dose chemotherapeutic agents to the target organs. This research was planned to evaluate the direct toxic effect of high-dose cisplatin to the lung tissue during isolated lung perfusion. Material and Method: Fifteen mongrel dogs were divided in the perfusate for 40 minutes. The second group was composed of 5 mongrel dogs which underwent ILP with cisplatin 2.5 mg/Kg added to the perfusate for 30 minutes and 10 minutes with washing solution without cisplatin. The third group underwent the same procedure as the second group except cisplatin 5.0 mg/Kg in the perfusate. Activities of serum angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE), tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$(TNF-$\alpha$), and concentration of serum lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine (BUN/Cr) were analyzed in each groups at the time of pre-perfusion, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks after ILP. Result: Serum ACE activities before and 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks after ILP in control group were 45.1$\pm$6.3, 44.6$\pm$9.3, 46.7$\pm$9.5, 50.8$\pm$9.1, 46.1$\pm$4.3 U/L. Those in cisplatin 2.5 and 5.0 mg/Kg groups were 49.4$\pm$12.6, 39.0$\pm$8.6, 42.3$\pm$15.9, 50.0$\pm$2.6, 53.8$\pm$8.3 and 55.5$\pm$12.3, 47.0$\pm$6.3, 45.1$\pm$6.9, 74.8$\pm$19.5, 60.2$\pm$12.0 U/L, respectively. Serum TNF-$\alpha$ activities in each group before and after ILP were 5.0$\pm$1.5 / 7.7$\pm$2.2 / 6.6$\pm$2.5 / 4.3$\pm$1.3 / 5.2$\pm$1.1(control), 8.7$\pm$1.6 / 9.9$\pm$2.2 / 7.9$\pm$1.5 / 6.3$\pm$2.2 / 7.4$\pm$2.4 (cisplatin 2.5 mg/Kg), and 6.9$\pm$0.7 / 8.9$\pm$3.4 / 7.9$\pm$4.0 / 3.3$\pm$0.9 / 5.8$\pm$1.3 pg/ml(cisplatin 5.0 mg/Kg). Mean LDH levels of each group were 225.7 / 271.3 / 328.9 / 350.8 / 255.7(control), 235.7 / 265.7 / 336.0 / 379.5 / 299.2 (cisplatin 2.5 mg/Kg), and 259.6 / 285.2 / 340.6 / 433.4 / 292.4 IU/L(cisplatin 5.0 mg/Kg). So there was no significant difference in serum ACE, TNF-$\alpha$, and LDH activity changes after ILP between the 3 groups. And, there was no significant changes in BUN/Cr in each groups, which was independent of ILP and perfused concentration of cisplatin. In addition, all dogs survived the ILP and there was no significant evidence of pulmonary vascular injury after 2 weeks of ILP with cisplatin. Conclusion: There was no harmful effect of cisplatin to the lund tissue of the mongrel dog up to 5.0 mg/Kg in perfusate. Therefore, it is perceived to be safe and effective to deliver high-dose cisplatin to the lung without pulmonary toxicity and renal damage with ILP.

India is largest producer of banana in the world producing 29.72 million tonnes from an area of 0.803 million ha with a productivity of 35.7 MT ha-1 and accounted for 15.48 and 27.01 per cent of the world's area and production respectively (www.nhb.gov.in). In India, Tamil Nadu leads other states both in terms of area and production followed by Maharashtra, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. In Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, Kurnool district had special reputation in the cultivation of banana in an area of 5765 hectares with an annual production of 2.01 lakh tonnes in the year 2012-13 and hence, it was purposively chosen for the study. On $23^{rd}$ November 2003, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has commenced a comprehensive project called 'Andhra Pradesh Micro Irrigation Project (APMIP)', first of its kind in the world so as to promote water use efficiency. APMIP is offering 100 per cent of subsidy in case of SC, ST and 90 per cent in case of other categories of farmers up to 5.0 acres of land. In case of acreage between 5-10 acres, 70 per cent subsidy and acreage above 10, 50 per cent of subsidy is given to the farmer beneficiaries. The sampling frame consists of Kurnool district, two mandals, four villages and 180 sample farmers comprising of 60 farmers each from Marginal (<1ha), Small (1-2ha) and Other (>2ha) categories. A well structured pre-tested schedule was employed to collect the requisite information pertaining to the performance of drip irrigation among the sample farmers and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model was employed to analyze the performance of drip irrigation in banana farms. The performance of drip irrigation was assessed based on the parameters like: Land Development Works (LDW), Fertigation costs (FC), Volume of water supplied (VWS), Annual maintenance costs of drip irrigation (AMC), Economic Status of the farmer (ES), Crop Productivity (CP) etc. The first four parameters are considered as inputs and last two as outputs for DEA modelling purposes. The findings revealed that, the number of farms operating at CRS are more in number in other farms (46.66%) followed by marginal (45%) and small farms (28.33%). Similarly, regarding the number of farmers operating at VRS, the other farms are again more in number with 61.66 per cent followed by marginal (53.33%) and small farms (35%). With reference to scale efficiency, marginal farms dominate the scenario with 57 per cent followed by others (55%) and small farms (50%). At pooled level, 26.11 per cent of the farms are being operated at CRS with an average technical efficiency score of 0.6138 i.e., 47 out of 180 farms. Nearly 40 per cent of the farmers at pooled level are being operated at VRS with an average technical efficiency score of 0.7241. As regards to scale efficiency, nearly 52 per cent of the farmers (94 out of 180 farmers) at pooled level, either performed at the optimum scale or were close to the optimum scale (farms having scale efficiency values equal to or more than 0.90). Majority of the farms (39.44%) are operating at IRS and only 29 per cent of the farmers are operating at DRS. This signifies that, more resources should be provided to these farms operating at IRS and the same should be decreased towards the farms operating at DRS. Nearly 32 per cent of the farms are operating at CRS indicating efficient utilization of resources. Log linear regression model was used to analyze the major determinants of input use efficiency in banana farms. The input variables considered under DEA model were again considered as influential factors for the CRS obtained for the three categories of farmers. Volume of water supplied ($X_1$) and fertigation cost ($X_2$) are the major determinants of banana farms across all the farmer categories and even at pooled level. In view of their positive influence on the CRS, it is essential to strengthen modern irrigation infrastructure like drip irrigation and offer more fertilizer subsidies to the farmer to enhance the crop production on cost-effective basis in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, India. This study further suggests that, the present era of Information Technology will help the irrigation management in the context of generating new techniques, extension, adoption and information. It will also guide the farmers in irrigation scheduling and quantifying the irrigation water requirements in accordance with the water availability in a particular season. So, it is high time for the Government of India to pay adequate attention towards the applications of 'Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its applications in irrigation water management' for facilitating the deployment of Decision Supports Systems (DSSs) at various levels of planning and management of water resources in the country.

우리나라에서의 사료작물 생산면적이 제한적이기 때문에 미래의 기후조건에서 최적 재배 가능 지역을 중심으로 이탈리안 라이그라스와 같은 사료작물의 생산체계를 설계하는 것이 필요하다. 특히, 한반도를 대상으로 이탈리안 라이그라스의 재배 가능지역을 파악하는 것이 미래를 대비한 정책 결정에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 기후자료를 기반으로 작물의 재배적합도를 예측하는 EcoCrop 모델을 사용하여 현재(1950~2000), 2020년대(2010~2039), 2050년대(2040~2069), 2080년대(2070~2099)의 이탈리안 라이그라스의 재배 가능지역을 분석하였다. 또한, 전구 기후모델인 CCCMA, CSIRO, UKMO-HadCM3, UKMO-HadGEM1, 그리고 NCAR 모델 등으로부터 얻어진 규모축소 기후자료를 활용한 앙상블 예측기법을 재배적합도 예측에 적용하여 미래 기후변화 조건에서의 불확실도를 낮추는 것을 시도하였다. 2050년대까지 이탈리안 라이그라스의 재배적합도는 남한과 북한 모두 크게 상승할 것으로 예측되었다. 예를 들어, 현재 기후조건에서 충청북도와 강원도에서 평균적인 재배적합도가 76.75와 44.77으로 낮게 예측되었지만 2020년대에 각각 16.2% 및 46.1% 증가하여 2080년대에는 모든 행정구역에서 평균적인 재배적합도가 90이상으로 나타날 것으로 예측되었다. 반면, 2080년대에 16개의 시 도 중 11개의 지역에서 재배적합도가 감소할 것으로 예측되었다. 북한의 경우 현재 기후조건에서 평균적인 재배적합도는 28.40으로 평균적인 재배적합도가 낮았다. 그러나 기후변화가 진행되면서 재배적합도가 크게 증가하여 2080년대에는 14개 행정구역 중 10곳에서 평균적인 재배적합도가 80 이상일 것으로 예측되었다. 특히 나선, 신의주 및 개성 인근 지역의 재배적합도가 크게 증가할 것으로 예측되어 이를 중심으로 수출을 위한 사료 생산단지 및 축산단지 조성이 가능할 것으로 예상되었다. 현재, 내한성 향상을 중심으로 이탈리안 라이그라스의 새로운 품종들이 개발 및 보급되고 있어 이러한 신품종을 대상으로 한 이모작 가능지를 구분하기 위해 품종별로 최적화된 모수를 활용한 재배적합도 예측지도를 작성연구가 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

최근 정신건강증진법의 전면 개정을 계기로 하여 정신장애인의 인권과 지역사회통합의 관점에서 개정 전 정신건강증진법의 문제점과 개정 정신건강증진법의 주요 개정 내용을 검토하고 평가하였다. 1995년 정신건강증진법의 제정과 다섯 차례의 개정은 정신장애인들을 사회로부터 분리 배제하는 과정이었으며 이를 정당화하고 제도적으로 뒷받침한 것이 정신보건법을 지배하는 의료적 관점이었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 정신장애인을 오직 치료의 대상으로만 접근하는 것은 정신장애인을 뚜렷한 효과 없는 치료를 명목으로 장기간 정신병원에 입원시키는 것을 정당화하고 그 속에 감추어져 있는 사회방위의 목적 또는 장신장애인의 부양의 목적을 은폐하는 역할을 하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 이를 제도적으로 뒷받침한 것이 정신보건법상의 보호의무자에 의한 입원제도이다. 이러한 보호의무자에 의한 입원은 정신장애인의 입원 결정에 관여하는 부양의무를 가진 보호의무자와 정신의료기관 소속 전문의의 공공연한 이해충돌의 가능성 때문에 그 객관성과 공정성에 대하여 의심을 받아 왔을 뿐 아니라 강제입원이 신체의 자유를 구속하는 기본권제한에 요청되는 기본권 제한의 과잉금지 원칙이나 적법절차 원칙에 저촉되어 위헌적이라는 것이 평가를 받고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 개정된 개정 정신건강증진법은 강제입원의 대상인 정신질환자의 범위를 축소하고, 보호의무자에 의한 입원에 있어서 정신과 전문의 2인의 진단과 입원적합성심사위원회의 심사를 추가하는 등 강제입원의 요건과 절차를 강화하였다. 이점에 있어서 입원적합성심사위원회는 강제입원을 규제하고 입원장기화를 축소하는 데에 부분적으로 기여할 것으로 평가할 만하다. 그러나 개정된 보호의무자에 의한 입원제도도 장애인의 자유와 안전에 관한 유엔장애인권리협약 제14조 위반의 문제점을 극복하지는 못하였다. 뿐만 아니라 지역사회로 복귀할 정신장애인의 사회통합을 위한 복지서비스의 지원은 다양한 항목 설정에도 불구하고 규범적으로 약화된 형태의 규정에 머물고 있는 반면, 적절한 복지서비스의 지원의 실현에 긴요한 국가나 지방자치단체의 예산확보 방안 등에 있어서 불확실성이 크다. 향후 제도나 정책에 있어서 정신장애인의 인권과 사회통합을 위한 각별한 관심과 노력이 필요하다.

배경: 급성 상행대동맥박리증 수술 시 대퇴동맥이 동맥삽관 장소로 주로 이용되어 왔으나 최근 관류 장애 및 역행성 색전증의 발생 위험이 적은 액와동맥삽관이 증가하고 있다. 이에 기존의 대퇴동맥 삽관술과 액와동맥 삽관술을 이용한 수술성적을 비교하여 액와동맥 삽관술의 안전성과 유용성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 10월부터 2001년 9월까지 급성 상행대동맥박리증으로 수술을 받은 71명을 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하여 수슬 전의 상태, 수술범위 및 방법, 수술 후 경과를 분석하였다. 대퇴동맥삽관은 40명으로 평균 연령은 57세, 액와동맥삽관은 31명으로 평균 56세였다. 결과: 액와동맥군의 평균 체외순환시간과 순환정지시간은 각각 207분과 39분으로 대퇴동맥군의 263분과 49분보다 의미있게 짧았고(p<0.05), 수술 후 입원기간 역시 액와동맥군에서 15일로 대퇴동맥군의 35일에 비하여 의미있게 단축되었다(p<0.05). 수술 후 사망률(액와동맥군 6.5%, 대퇴동맥군 10%)과 영구적 신경계 합병증 발생률(액와동맥군 3.2%, 대퇴동맥군 2.5%)은 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았으나 일시적 신경계 합병증의 발생률은 액와동맥군에서 12.9%, 대퇴동맥군에서 25%로 의미있는 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 대퇴동맥군 중 2명의 환자에서 수술 중 대동맥궁 분지의 관류 부전이 발견되어 삽관 위치의 변경이 필요하였다. 액와동맥 삽관에 따른 합병증으로는 1명의 환자가 정중신경 손상을 경험하였다. 결론: 급성 상행대동맥박리증 수술에서 액와동맥 삽관은 뇌허혈시간의 단축과 이에 따른 수술 후 신경계 합병증의 발생률을 낮추는 데 기여하는 안전한 술식으로 판단된다. 또한, 이에 따라 대동맥궁에 내피 손상부위가 있는 환자에 대하여 보다 적극적이고 광범위한 수술 적용을 가능하게 한 것으로 판단된다.

On the purpose to suggest an advanced scheme in assessing the domestic wheat quality, this paper reviewed the inspection systems of wheat in major wheat producing countries as well as the quality criteria which are being used in wheat grading and classification. Most wheat producing countries are adopting both classifications of class and grade to provide an objective evaluation and an official certification to their wheat. There are two main purposes in the wheat classification. The first objectives of classification is to match the wheat with market requirements to maximize market opportunities and returns to growers. The second is to ensure that payments to glowers aye made on the basis of the quality and condition of the grain delivered. Wheat classes has been assigned based on the combination of cultivation area, seed-coat color, kernel and varietal characteristics that are distinctive. Most reputable wheat marketers also employ a similar approach, whereby varieties of a particular type are grouped together, designed by seed coat colour, grain hardness, physical dough properties, and sometimes more precise specification such as starch quality, all of which are genetically inherited characteristics. This classification in simplistic terms is the categorization of a wheat variety into a commercial type or style of wheat that is recognizable for its end use capabilities. All varieties registered in a class are required to have a similar end-use performance that the shipment be consistent in processing quality, cargo to cargo and year to year, Grain inspectors have historically determined wheat classes according to visual kernel characteristics associated with traditional wheat varieties. As well, any new wheat variety must not conflict with the visual distinguishability rule that is used to separate wheats of different classes. Some varieties may possess characteristics of two or more classes. Therefore, knowledge of distinct varietal characteristics is necessary in making class determinations. The grading system sets maximum tolerance levels for a range of characteristics that ensure functionality and freedom from deleterious factors. Tests for the grading of wheat include such factors as plumpness, soundness, cleanliness, purity of type and general condition. Plumpness is measured by test weight. Soundness is indicated by the absence or presence of musty, sour or commercially objectionable foreign odors and by the percentage of damaged kernels that ave present in the wheat. Cleanliness is measured by determining the presence of foreign material after dockage has been removed. Purity of class is measured by classification of wheats in the test sample and by limitation for admixtures of different classes of wheat. Moisture does not influence the numerical grade. However, it is determined on all shipments and reported on the official certificate. U.S. wheat is divided into eight classes based on color, kernel Hardness and varietal characteristics. The classes are Durum, Hard Red Spring, Hard Red Winter, Soft Red Winter, Hard White, soft White, Unclassed and Mixed. Among them, Hard Red Spring wheat, Durum wheat, and Soft White wheat are further divided into three subclasses, respectively. Each class or subclass is divided into five U.S. numerical grades and U.S. Sample grade. Special grades are provided to emphasize special qualities or conditions affecting the value of wheat and are added to and made a part of the grade designation. Canadian wheat is also divided into fourteen classes based on cultivation area, color, kernel hardness and varietal characteristics. The classes have 2-5 numerical grades, a feed grade and sample grades depending on class and grading tolerance. The Canadian grading system is based mainly on visual evaluation, and it works based on the kernel visual distinguishability concept. The Australian wheat is classified based on geographical and quality differentiation. The wheat grown in Australia is predominantly white grained. There are commonly up to 20 different segregations of wheat in a given season. Each variety grown is assigned a category and a growing areas. The state governments in Australia, in cooperation with the Australian Wheat Board(AWB), issue receival standards and dockage schedules annually that list grade specifications and tolerances for Australian wheat. AWB is managing "Golden Rewards" which is designed to provide pricing accuracy and market signals for Australia's grain growers. Continuous payment scales for protein content from 6 to 16% and screenings levels from 0 to 10% based on varietal classification are presented by the Golden Rewards, and the active payment scales and prices can change with market movements.movements.

한반도에서 평화통일의 기반을 구축하기 위해서는 비군사분야에 머물고 있는 남북교류협력 영역을 군사분야로 확대하여 군비통제를 적극 추진해야 할 것이다. 그동안 남북 간에 군비통제가 추진되지 못한 이유는 (1)남북 간 신뢰구축의 한계, (2)군비통제 자체의 기능적 한계, (3)남북 간 제도 구조적 한계, (4)국내 외 환경적 한계 등 태생적 요인이 자리 잡고 있기 때문이다. 첫째, 군비통제를 추진하기 위해 남북 고위급회담 수준의 정치적 대화가 선행되어야 하며, 협상 및 추진과정에서 '전략적 유연성'을 발휘해야 한다. 이를 위해 상황과 여건에 부합한 '신축적 상호주의'를 적용해야 한다. 둘째, 기존의 '선 신뢰구축, 후 군축' 원칙에서 탈피하여 새로운 절충적 방법으로 '신뢰구축 및 군축의 동시추진' 원칙을 모색해 나가야 한다. 즉, 군비통제의 낮은 수준이라 할 수 있는 군사적 신뢰구축과 합리적 충분성에 입각한 제한된 군축을 병행하는 방안을 추진할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 국무총리실 직속으로 군비통제 전담기구를 설치하여 국가정책 전략 차원에서 군비통제 문제를 적극적으로 추진해야 한다. 또한 남북 고위급회담이 성사되면 '남북 군비통제 공동추진위원회(가칭)'을 구성 운영할 필요가 있다. 넷째, 평화통일을 위한 군비통제의 필요성에 대한 국민적 공감 형성과 유리한 국제적 환경조성을 위하여 보다 능동적인 외교역량을 발휘해야 할 것이다. 특히 국제사회와 함께 북한의 핵문제를 해결해 나가고, 한미동맹과 한중협력관계의 균형을 어떻게 유지해 나갈 것인가를 더욱 고민해야 할 것이다.
